Keyhoe, Flying Saucers from | | Outer Space, p. 57). | | | | 1956 - On the Pacific island of Levuka in the Fiji Islands, several | | people on a fishing boat saw a cigar-shaped UFO. It was close enough | | that the witnesses were able to describe square windows visible in | | the object.

Allen Hynek & Jacques Vallee, The | | Edge of Reality: A Progress Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, p. | | 292). | | | | 1965 - A UFO was sighted off of Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea on this | | night in the same approximate location as the famous CE-III sightings | | by Father Gill in 1959. A red light changed to blue. It was extremely | | bright, and was seen swaying from side to side in a broad pendulum | | swing, at least a mile in each direction. The witnesses were several | | school children and their teacher. (Source: Debbie Payne, | | Australasian Ufologist, October 2004, p. 29, citing the RAAF). | | | | 1965 - At 4:30 a.m. a group of newspaper boys sighted a silver, | | football-shaped object near Kolb Road in Tucson, Arizona. It hovered | | for 30 minutes, then shot off to the southeast at a very fast speed. | | (Source: APRO Bulletin, January-February 1966). | | | | 1965 - Humberto Aranjo da Silva, a student driving in Bairio Paraiso | | dos Barbeiros, Brazil nearly hit a saucer-shaped craft, 6 meters in | | diameter, which had two V-shaped landing pads and a dome, and which | | had landed on the road. It made a whirring noise. (Sources: Lumieres | | dans la Nuit, issue # 84; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A | | Century of Landings, case # 653, citing SBEDV, issues 51, 53) | | | | 1969 - At 11:00 p.m. a dark gray, metallic inverted bowl-shaped disc | | flew over a farm in Van Horne, Iowa during a rainstorm, spinning | | counter-clockwise. It had a reddish-orange band two-thirds of the way | | from its bottom to the top, and made a noise like a jet. The | | witnesses were three teenage girls. A 40-foot circle of wilted | | soybean plants was found, but the plants were not bent over or | | crushed. (Sources: J. Allen Hynek, The UFO Experience, p. 129; UNICAT | | database, case 394, citing J. Allen Hynek). | | | | 1971 - At 11:00 p.m. Gaetan Paquin, a young man in his twenties, was | | just arriving home in Notre-Dame-Du-Nord, Quebec when a white object | | flew over the road. He next saw "a completely white being of human | | form, with a pointed nose, slanted eyes, and a little puckered mouth" | | standing near him. He saw the being in profile. "His height did not | | exceed 4 feet. He had no hair, and nothing that resembled clothing. | | He was very, very visible in the darkness--there was no light, for | | the sky was overcast and the electricity was out that night." The | | being appeared to be transparent, and Gaetan had the impression that | | a stone thrown at him would have passed right through him. Although | | the apparition completely ignored the presence of the witness, Paquin | | became frightened and fled. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1971-44, citing Jean | | Ferguson, UFO Quebec, issue # 9; John Brent Musgrave, UFO Occupants | | and Critters, p. 50). | | | | 1975 - Four witnesses were walking up a footpath on Highdown Hill in | | Sussex, England when they saw a disc-shaped craft land nearby. A gray | | figure with a large lemon-shaped head then appeared. When the | | witnesses tried to approach the figure a shiny red beam of light hit | | one of them, and the man who had been struck screamed in pain and | | fell to the ground. He recovered quickly, and then all four of the | | witnesses fled the scene. Some glowing powder was allegedly found on | | the ground in the area later. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1975 | | Humanoid Contact database, case # 768, citing Norman Oliver, Quest | | UFO Magazine (UK), Volume 11, # 6). | | | | 1975 - At 12:50 p.m. Richard W. and three friends, Pat S., Nancy T., | | and Ross K. were having lunch together at a coffee bar in Dunedin, | | New Zealand. The weather that was cold and damp and all of them were | | feeling a bit under the weather. They sat around a table located | | opposite the stairs and quietly ate their lunches. All of a sudden | | time seemed to stand still. The noisy and busy coffee bar, occupied | | by 80 people, became absolutely silent, when everything froze in | | place like a still frame from a motion picture. People were twisted | | in strange and unstable positions, frozen while performing movements, | | and their bodies looked comic. Richard remembered witnessing a cloud | | of steam suspended motionless in a dynamic configuration above the | | expreso machine. He also remembered seeing a waitress pulling out hot | | cakes from the oven, and sustaining their heat in her motionless | | hands. In the entire cafe only the four of them seemed to be | | unaffected, thus having the occasion to observe what was actually | | happening. At the top of the stairs leading down to the coffee bar | | from street level an unusual man appeared. He was about 1.75 meters | | tall and looked to be about 19 years old. He was dark, slim, thin, | | with olive skin and black wavy hair. His clothes looked normal, but | | displayed taste and elegance. Everything about him looked strikingly | | perfect. The man was surrounded by a beautiful white glow, especially | | around his head and chest. The light seemed to come not from him, but | | from the air that surrounded him. He glided down the stairs without | | moving his legs. He actually floated in the air slightly above the | | level of the stairs. Then he moved to the counter and stood first in | | the queue. As soon as he got there, everything started to happen | | normally again. People continued their actions from the point when | | they had been suspended in motion. Everything looked as though | | nothing had happened. The man bought a glass of fruit juice and sat | | at the last free chair available at a 12-person table. He | | acknowledged the witnesses attention with a smile. They wanted to | | talk to him and find out more about his unusual arrival, but there | | was no easy access to his chair. So they decided to leave the coffee | | bar and wait for him upstairs at the only way out. After five minutes | | of waiting and not seeing him pass, Richard went back down to | | discover that he had gone, yet there was no other exit from the | | coffee bar. The group was also quite surprised to find that their | | various ailments, which included the flu and a migraine headache, | | were gone. About six weeks later they spotted him again. He stood at | | the top of the stairs at the same coffee shop again, intent on | | entering the cafe. He moved his head in their direction as a kind of | | greeting. His clothes were the same, except that this time he was | | surrounded by a faint green glow. When he appeared nothing actually | | happened. He walked down as normal people do (his steps somehow | | lighter than normal humans) unnoticed by anyone but the witnesses. He | | again bought a glass of fruit juice and again sat in the same place. | | A few times he acknowledged their attention by a friendly look. This | | time they decided to interrupt him and find out who he was, so they | | wanted to stand up and get closer, but none of them could move. When | | finally they did manage to stand up, they directed themselves out of | | the coffee bar seemingly against their will. Pat tried desperately to | | turn back, but her efforts failed. After a short while Pat decided to | | return back inside the coffee bar, only to find that the mysterious | | stranger had already gone. They never saw him again. (Source: Albert | | S. Rosales, 1975 Humanoid Contact database, citing Jan Pajak). | | | | 1975 - On the same day as the two incidents above, a giant hairy | | biped was seen sitting in the window of a hog shed in Preble County, | | Ohio. watching the ten-year-old witness, who had had a previous UFO | | encounter. The boy ran to get his mother, but when they returned the | | creature had gone. (Source: Donald Worley, Proceedings of the CUFOS | | Conference: 1976, p. 291). | | | | 1976 - On this evening in Savanna, Oklahoma three boys watched a | | white disc-shaped object with beams of light search through some | | woods at a low altitude. The air felt warm and they heard a "Whoosh!" | | sound. (Sources: McAlester Democrat, July 15, 1976; APRO Bulletin, | | January-February 1977, p. 1). | | 1977 - A domed disc passed over a hill in Roseto Degli Abruzzi, Italy | | at 1:50 a.m. Two kids playing with walkie-talkies experienced RFI | | radio interference. (Source: Maurizio Verga, ITACAT: Italian UFO | | Catalogue). | | | | 1977 - At 8:30 p.m. Adrian De Olmos Ordones, age 42, was resting on | | the balcony of his house in Quebradillas, Puerto Rico when he saw a | | very small figure across the road. It was about 40 feet away, and it | | slipped under a farm's barbed wire fence and walked toward a lamp | | post only 20 feet away. The little man was only three and a half feet | | tall and wore a green garment that seemed to be inflated with air. He | | also wore a large metallic helmet with a glass face plate encasing | | the head that came to a slight point on top. The helmet was | | surmounted by a short extension with a luminous point on top. On the | | being's back was a box like a knapsack. Sr. De Olmos also observed | | that he had only four fingers, that his feet were webbed like a | | duck's, and that he had a short tail, not long enough to reach the | | ground. In his right hand he carried a small shiny object. The | | witness told his daughter bring him a pencil and paper so he could | | make a sketch, but by mistake she turned on the balcony light. When | | she did the being ran back to the fence, passed under it, and then | | stopped and put his hand on his belt. Two red and two blue lights | | appeared on the backpack with two downward jets of sparks came out, | | accompanied by a sound like an electric drill. The being ascended 10 | | feet into the air and flew horizontally to a grove of trees 150 yards | | away. Mr. Olmos, his family, and neighbors watched the lights of the | | figure as he moved about the trees for 10 minutes, in company with | | another light. During this period the cattle on the adjacent farm | | "went crazy," running about and bellowing. The next day humanoid | | tracks were found and photographed at the site. A neighbor woman had | | seen a luminous object descend into the woods two days before. | | (Sources: Sebastian Robiou Lamarche, MUFON UFO Journal, March 1978, | | p. 3; FSR, April 1978, p. 9; David F.

Haines, CE-5: Close | | Encounters of the Fifth Kind, p. 232). | | | | 1978 - A watch stopped when an orange glowing domed disc-shaped UFO | | came out from under the clouds 13 kilometers from the mountain town | | of Wiener Neustadt, Austria at 10:15 p.m. The two witnesses reported | | that the object then simply vanished. (Source: Ernst Berger, MUFON | | UFO Journal, June 1978, p. 3). | | | | 1978 - At around 11:00 p.m. a reddish-orange disc-shaped object, | | making a whistling sound, was sighted by several witnesses five | | kilometers away from Estacio Rambion in San Juan, Argentina. At the | | railway station the telephone stopped working and there was a | | television blackout. The batteries of some road machinery equipment | | were also damaged. A dog howled during the incident, which lasted | | about 15 minutes, and it later lost its hair. Three horses were also | | reported missing and never found. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, | | March 1981; UNICAT database, case 595, citing Guillermo Roncoroni). | | | | 1981 - At 12:50 a.m. five observers driving in a vehicle, including a | | college professor and a social worker, in South Canterbury, New | | Zealand saw a brightly lit domed disc-shaped craft with gold, red and | | green lights. It paced their car along a back road, making no sound. | | The object had several brightly lit windows and slot like | | indentations on its surface. A heavyset squat figure was seen at one | | of the windows. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, May 1982, p. 3; Richard | | Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 26, | | citing the Timaru Herald, July 31, 1981; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1981, case # 2438, citing the MUFON UFO Journal, | | November 1981, p. 6). | | | | South Canterbury, New Zealand Close Encounter - 1981 | | | | [image] | | | | 1981 - A nocturnal light hung stationary in the sky over the Dee | | Estuary in Cheshire, England on this night, and then shot off at high | | speed. It was sighted by an air crew that corroborated the ground | | level sighting. (Source: John Wallace Spencer, UFO Encyclopedia, p. | | 89). | | | | 1984 - On this night hundreds of witnesses in the Hudson Valley, | | Westchester County, New York saw a number of small round lights which | | hovered, made abrupt right angle turns, disappeared and reappeared. | | The objects changed colors, made a faint humming sound, and moved | | from one shaped-formation to another. (Sources: Richard F. Haines, | | Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO, p. 71; Peter Brookesmith, | | UFO: The Complete Sightings, p. 128; Discover, November 1984). | | | | 1989 - On this night at least six witnesses in Southend, Essex, | | England reported that a cone-shaped UFO paced a car. Lights on object | | turned counter-clockwise. The object shot off when the car stopped. | | (Source: Timothy Good, The UFO Report 1991, p. 228). | | | | 1998 - A female security guard in Lakeland, Florida spotted a strange | | "alien" entity standing on the corner of Dixie Highway and Lucern | | Road on this evening. The humanoid had pasty white skin, reddish | | blond hair, and black button eyes. His nose was small, his lips were | | very thin, and his eyes were black in color with almost no white | | area. He had neither eyelashes nor other facial nor body hair, his | | head was unusually large, while his ears were very small. He moved | | very slowly with short little steps and was wearing normal human | | clothing. The next evening the same or a similar entity appeared | | outside the security guard's workplace, over 12 miles away. When a | | second witness approached the entity mysteriously disappeared. The | | police were notified. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1998, case # 3156, citing UFO Magazine (USA), Volume 14, No. | | 1). | | | | 2000 - A 14-year-old boy had gone to bed late on this night at his | | summer cottage in Manooth, Ontario, Canada when he woke up to find | | his bedroom door open and someone walking in the living room. Soon an | | alien figure came to his bedroom door and entered, followed by two | | more. The beings were basically humanoid, gray in color, with large | | black oval-shaped eyes. One was taller than the others and he was | | holding a glowing blue rod, which apparently paralyzed the witness. | | He telepathically told the boy that they were going to cure an | | infection that was brought to Earth by another alien race. They | | inserted a long tube down the witness esophagus and through it | | injected a liquid. He was then able to move and was told to follow | | them. Outside he was taken aboard a landed disc-shaped object, where | | he was scanned and examined. Later he was brought back to his room. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2000, case # | | 3614, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, | | Seattle). | | | | 2002 - A scout troop with their scoutmaster saw 26 orange objects fly | | from south to north slowly, in single file, over Browns Plains, | | Queensland shortly after 10 p.m. The objects were described as | | balloon shaped, and glowed orange. There was no sound, and there were | | no navigation lights on the objects. (Source: Sheryl Gottschall | | Sheryl, UFO Research Queensland website). | | | | 2003 - The witness and her mother were driving home down a road in | | Ashland, Kentucky at around 10:00 p.m. when they saw a moving light | | in the sky. They first assumed it was a plane, but then it started | | moving faster. It sped up to an unbelievable speed and shot back and | | forth between wo stars, and then stopped as if it had spotted them. | | At this point their car stopped running. The UFO had disappeared but | | they had a feeling it was still present, watching them. It | | reappeared, this time closer. They next saw 20 to 30 lights zooming | | across the sky. These all stopped at the same star in the sky as the | | first one, and they all vanished in a bright flash. They heard no | | sound during any of this. The daughter reports that she then fainted, | | but her mother continued to watch. She said the light got bigger and | | brighter, and in the midst of the light her mother claims to have | | seen dark figures carrying strange instruments. When the daughter | | woke up, the car was on the side of the road about 20 feet from where | | it had been. About half an hour had passed, but it seemed to have | | been much longer. Her mother was now passed out and outside of the | | car. She appeared unharmed, but she did have a scar on the back of | | her neck. The mother convinced herself that the mark was from the | | back of the car door when she "fell" out of the car. For subsequent | | nights the pair have seen strange lights in the sky at night, dashing | | across the sky.
