They flew at a | | high altitude, and were absolutely silent. (Source: Lumieres dans la | | Nuit, Vol. 338). | | | | 1952 - In 1952 at 6:45 p.m., two small and one very large disc were sighted | | flying at 15,000 feet altitude in Chartres, France. The three discs | | hovered, and then shot straight up and away. (Sources: Jacques | | Vallee, computerized catalogue, case #655; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A | | History. 1952: June-July 20th, p. 3). | | | | 1955 - Over the Melville Sound in the Northwest Territories of | | Canada, a National Security Agency RB-47 jet bomber, newly re-fitted | | for aerial electronic surveillance, made radar and visual contact | | with a disc-shaped UFO for 9 minutes. This encounter occurred in 1955 | | near the north magnetic pole. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer | | database, case #4362; Richard M. Dolan, UFO's and the National | | Security State: Chronology of a Cover-up 1941-1973, p. 408). | | | | 1956 - There was a reported landing of a UFO near Hicksville, New York on | | Long Island at just after midnight in 1956. The unconfirmed report | | said there were landing traces, but the report couldn't be followed | | up. (Source: Civilian Saucer Intelligence of New York Newsletter, | | June 1956, p. 10). | | | | 1963 - In 1963 a multicolored UFO, the size of a light truck, was reported | | to have landed in the vicinity of Lyle, Minnesota at 3:10 a.m. The | | multicolored object was seen ascending into the sky from a nearby | | town. Police searched the area for 3 miles on both sides of the | | Iowa-Minnesota border but found nothing. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, | | January-February 1964, p.1; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A | | Century of Landings, case 572). | | | | 1965 - The Gemini-4 mission with astronauts McDivitt and White | | sighted a "weird object" with "arms" while in orbit over the Pacific | | Ocean near Hawaii. Motion picture film was shot. (Sources: NICAP UFO | | Investigator, July-August 1965, p. 3; Frank Edwards, Flying | | Saucers--Serious Business, p. 208; Richard M. Dolan, UFO's and the | | National Security State: Chronology of a Cover-up 1941-1973, p. 412). | | | | 1968 - Artist Benjamin Solari Parravicini was walking home after | | midnight in Buenos Aires province, Argentina when he was confronted | | by a fair skinned man with eyes "so light in color that he looked as | | if blind." The man addressed him in an unintelligible guttural | | language. Looking upward, the witness saw only 50 meters away a | | hovering aerial craft with no lights. He became dizzy, and when he | | recovered, he found himself inside the machine, with three other | | people. One of these, a very handsome man, was questioning | | Parravicini in an alien language, which he was able to understand | | telepathically. The being told him that they would take him once | | around Earth, and he observed Japan, France, and Chile before being | | returned to the same street corner. Since this experience the alien | | beings have allegedly contacted Parravicini several times. (Source: | | David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case 1968-31, citing Gordon Creighton, FSR, | | September-October 1968). | | | | 1969 - In 1969 numerous red lights were seen hovering in the sky over | | Penwortham, South Australia at 6:30 p.m. In Eden Valley five minutes | | later a UFO with two rows of red lights, connected by a white beam, | | buzzed a motorist. Afterwards three circular burn marks were found on | | the hood of his car. At 7:30 p.m. a man driving between Brinkworth | | and Clare saw red lights flying parallel to his car, heading to the | | east. At 8 p.m. at Porter's Lagoon, 15 miles east of Clare, South | | Australia a red light pulsated is it hung stationary over the lagoon. | | At about the same time a red light came down the valley from Camel | | Hump Ridge in Gum Creek, while a blue UFO hovered over the range and | | later went behind a mountain. (Source: Michael Hervey, UFOs over the | | Southern Hemisphere, p. 184-5). | | | | 1969 - On that same night in 1969 a fifteen-foot in diameter silver ovoid | | object flew 500 meters over the town of Sao Jose do Rio Preto, | | Brazil. It emitted blue and orange beams of light. At 8 p.m. a doctor | | took a photograph of a 50-meter wide red-orange UFO while it hovered | | just off the ground and 150 meters away in Lavras, Brazil. Earlier | | that morning at dawn in Brasilia, a silent, dish-shaped UFO | | maneuvered up and down, to-and-fro, and shot up multi-colored beams | | of light. (Sources: O Dia, June 6, 1969; FSR Case Histories, October | | 1971, p. 15; Larry Hatch, U computer database, cases #8878 and | | #8879). | | | | 1970 - In Evillers, Doubs department, France in 1970, six children reported | | seeing four three-and-a-half-foot tall humanoid beings. The bulky | | humanoids wore red tops with black straps, and carried large sacks on | | their belts. They also saw a strange gray "dog" creature that jumped | | a distance of 40 feet. At around 2:45 p.m. Marie, age 10, was | | standing on the road opposite a house that was being used as a | | storehouse and stable, when she saw a figure at a windowpane-less | | second floor window. The being was the size of a child, but had a big | | protruding stomach. She told other children and several of them, led | | by Noel, age 12, entered the building. Noel saw a small person about | | 3.5 feet tall in a red sweater with a black shoulder strap across it, | | which he chased down the stairs and outdoors to the pasture. | | | | That evening at 6:30 p.m. Bertrand, age 10, was near the building | | when he noticed a "boy" about 3.5 feet tall standing beside it. He | | had a big belly and was wearing a red sweater crossed by a wide black | | strap. This "boy" ran around behind the building. A short time later | | Noel, Simon, and Barthelemy all saw a long gray animal, which they | | called a "dog", make a giant leap from the second floor window (about | | 12 feet high), and landed on the ground some 40 feet from the house. | | It left footprints "like a calf's." Then a small person like those | | seen earlier came out of the barn and called the "dog" to him with a | | snap of his fingers. He then passed a thick leash around its neck. | | Then three more such beings appeared, all alike except that one | | lacked a large stomach. They wore black hats with a peak behind. All | | four, with the "dog", then began to run very rapidly down the road | | away from the village. Two trucks passed and as they did the little | | men and their "dog" nimbly jumped off the road and hid. They ran out | | of sight. The next day the "dog's" paw prints were found. Six days | | later, the building mysteriously caught fire and burned to the | | ground. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue | | of Humanoid Reports, case 1970-21 (A1082); Fernand LaGarde, | | Mysterieuses Soucoupes Volantes, p. 185). | | | | 1972 - In 1972 at dawn, a farmer watched a disc-shaped UFO hover on its edge | | near Riverina, New South Wales. The object veered about in all | | directions in the sky for fifteen minutes, then shot straight up and | | away. Later that same day shortly after 6:00 p.m. in Bents Basin, New | | South Wales, Australia a three-meter tall (ten foot!) robot | | mysteriously vanished, while a 25-foot diameter disc hovered very low | | to the ground. The six witnesses reported having headaches as | | aftereffects of their encounter, and there were burn marks on one of | | their automobiles. (Sources: (1) APRO Bulletin, May-June 1972, p. 1; | | (2) Bill Chalker investigation files, case 2037; Geoffrey Falla, | | BUFORA Vehicle Interference Project Report, p. 60). | | | | 1974 - A dark disc with a tail appendage hovered over New York City for five | | minutes around 6:30 p.m. in 1974. It was sharply outlined in the sky, | | and at an estimated altitude of 900 meters. (Source: NICAP UFO | | Investigator, December 1974.) | | | | 1978 - Four years later a UFO again appeared over New York City. In | | the afternoon, at a medical center on the Eastside of the city near | | the FDR parkway, a medical student took a photograph of a three-foot | | tall egg-in-cup saucer. The episode had many independent witnesses | | with accompanying television coverage and newspaper reports. | | Approximately five hours earlier that day a private pilot and his | | passenger reported a near collision with a hovering saucer-shaped UFO | | over Pasadena, California. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, September 1978, | | p. 1; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 41). | | | | 1980 - In 1980 two brothers commuting to work in Abasto, Argentina saw a | | strange luminous object in the pre-dawn sky at around 5:30 a.m. It | | made no noise, was 12 meters in diameter, and emitted white and | | reddish flashes of light. The UFO flew over fast, halted above the | | two men, then shot off to the north. (Source: UFO Newsclipping | | Service, July 1980, p. 9, citing La Razon, June 5, 1980). | | | | 1984 - In 1984 a very luminous object shone a bright light into the window | | of a mobile home in Staunton, Virginia. The UFO was football-shaped, | | about the size of a car, and made a faint buzzing noise. (Source: | | APRO Bulletin, February 1985, p. 7). | | | | 1989 - In 1989, according to a report in the MUFON UFO Journal, a security | | guard and an air traffic controller at Air Force Facility 42 in | | Palmdale, California witnessed a silver flying object and three | | orb-shaped UFOs at 7:45 p.m. during testing of the B1-B bomber. There | | was also a rumor of an abduction occurring on this date at the same | | facility. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, November 1990). | | | | 1989 - At 10:30 p.m. a disc-shaped object that emitted beams of light | | was observed from directly underneath in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico. | | (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, | | report posted on website April 16, 2005). | | | | 1992 - In 1992 a 28-year-old man in Londonderry, New Hampshire was watching | | star-like lights move around outside his window, and was hoping to | | get a good photograph of what was going on when a structured | | unidentified craft came flying over the trees and flew slowly down | | his street, twice. Strangely, he made no attempt during this close | | encounter to take a photograph. (Source: Ken Foster, MUFON | | investigation files # 930406Eb; MUFON UFO Journal, June 1993). | | | | 1996 - Several people were staying at a country home in rural Apache | | County, Arizona. They were sitting around the kitchen table at 10:30 | | p.m. when two of them saw a bright UFO streak by, apparently crashing | | in the distance. They all lept into a jeep and raced off in search | | for the crashed object. They crossed State Highway 61, drove along an | | old cattle trail, and soon came upon an elderly couple standing next | | to their parked van on the road side; both were staring off into the | | countryside. They asked them if they had seen a UFO crash, and were | | told by them that they were also trying to find it. The elderly | | couple had been driving west on Highway 61 toward Show Low when they | | saw the object streak by and appear to crash. They all then drove on | | to the apparent crash site. This area had only a few trees, scattered | | cedar and junipers, and a lot of rocks and canyons. After driving for | | about an hour they came to a very deep canyon and could drive no | | further. Deep in the canyon was the crashed UFO. It was an oblong, | | egg shaped object, about the size of a barn. Its color was | | strange--it was described as the color of skin with a fading tan, and | | it faintly glowed. The glow was sufficiently bright enough to | | illuminate the bottom of the canyon. There were two "pillars" at the | | front of the object. These pillars may have been posted on either | | side of a door, although a doorway was not visible. The witnesses | | also claimed they saw a helicopter at the scene, and a black pick-up | | truck. They were baffled as to how the truck could have gotten down | | into the remote canyon so quickly, unless there was some road they | | did not know about. They watched the scene for awhile, then left. | | (Source: National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, archived webpage). | | | | 1997 - In 1997 three people witnessed a fluorescent flying object as it flew | | over White Plains, New York. It made no sound. (Source: Peter | | Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, June 1997 web page). | | | | 1999 - A somewhat round but irregularly shaped object, with a surface | | texture "like a sponge", flew near a mountain in Trail, British | | Columbia at 10:30 p.m. in 1999. (Source: Peter Davenport, National | | UFO Reporting Center, June 1999 web page). | | | | 2002 - At 1:03 a.m. on this night in 2002, lights were seen moving toward | | the east in a zigzagging flight path in Montreal, Quebec. (Source: | | UFO Research Manitoba website, 2002 Canadian UFO Survey, case #201). | | | | 2004 - Around 7:00 p.m. a rounded "A"-shaped object was seen moving | | irregularly in the sky over Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada for 15 | | minutes, then it flew away. (Source: Canadian UFO Survey 2004, case # | | 348). | | | | 2006 - An extremely bright object that was highly maneuverable and | | shooting sparks was seen over Houston, British Columbia at 4:20 p.m. | | (Source: Canadian UFO Survey 2006, citing ufoinfo.com) | | | | Written by Donald A.
