(Sources: Harold Wilkins, Flying Saucers | | Uncensored, p. 210; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia, A Century of | | Landings, case 122). | | | | 1954 - At ten minutes after midnight, four men in a forest in | | Camaqua, Brazil in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, saw a 30-meter | | wide disc stop and hover silently one meter above the ground. A human | | looking occupant got out of the craft and walked around it with a | | lamp of some kind. (Source: Felipe Machado Carrion, Phenomenes | | Spatiaux, December 1971, p. 32). | | | | 1958 - Two men in their late 40s, Srs. Salas and Acosta, watched a | | cylindrical object with a pointed end shoot straight up in the sky at | | 11:55 p.m. in Umbrete, Sevilla province, Spain. A moment later, when | | one of them opened the door of the truck in which they had been | | driving, a second object-two meters long-shot up from the ground. | | (Source: Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, FSR, July-August 1971, p. 11). | | | | 1971 - On this evening in 1971 in Tulancingo, Mexico in the State of | | Hidalgo, Sra. Ochones saw a domed disc land 50 meters away, making a | | “sizzling” sound. A door opened in the craft and several beings | | emerged from a red illuminated interior. They wore white coveralls | | with tight-fitting hoods, and spent a short period of time collecting | | soil samples. The ground marks at the landing site included 3 leg | | marks and 2 skids. (Source: Saga 1973 UFO Special, p. 32). | | | | 1972 - In Veteli, Finland in 1972 a dark form appeared at 7:30 p.m. and a | | “force field” threw a girl a distance of three meters. Another girl | | witnessed the event. Five hours later, at 11:30 p.m. on a highway in | | Hinojos, Spain a fiery square-shaped flying object flew close to the | | ground and lit up the surrounding terrain. The headlights in two | | cars, carrying a total of four witnesses, died. The car with the | | gasoline-powered engine also stalled, but the diesel-powered engine | | of the other car kept running. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, April | | 1975 and issue 133). | | | | 1973 - At 7:00 a.m. on highway 347 between Lens and La Bassee in | | Pas-de-Calais, France Mr. Liefooghe had a close encounter with two | | UFOs. He came upon a disc-shaped object on the road, and he watched a | | cigar-shaped UFO land in a vertical position. He did not stay around | | but came back later with investigators, who found ground marks and | | small footprints. At five a.m. CST another cigar-shaped object with | | two small wings approached a home in La Grange, Illinois rapidly from | | the west. The object was self-luminous and appeared solid, and passed | | low over the treetops. At 4:20 p.m. Pacific Standard Time a | | photograph of a luminous UFO was taken in Spokane, Washington and the | | event was witnessed by two families. At 10:30 p.m. Mountain Standard | | Time, on a highway near a farm east of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada | | a man saw a bright light in his rearview mirror. It looked like the | | revolving light on a train, except there were no railroad tracks in | | the vicinity. He then noticed an eight-foot tall giant running in a | | ditch alongside the truck at speeds up to 60 mph. The being touched | | the hood and roof of the truck before being out-distanced. (Sources: | | newspaper clipping dated January 1, 1974; La Grange (Illinois) | | Suburban Life, January 5, 1974; Gert Herb case investigation files; | | John Brent Musgrave, UFO Occupants and Critters, p. 20). | | | | 1976 - On this night in Bristol, Wales, UK Ken, an off-duty | | policeman, was driving home after his work shift and was passing the | | entrance gate of a research facility when he saw an 8 to 9 foot tall | | "spaceman" being. The being was wearing a one-piece suit and a helmet | | with a black visor over his eyes. Ken had no idea what he was looking | | at, so he drove straight home, arriving there in a state of shock. | | Although he told his wife, who did not believe him, he did not make | | an official report because he feared professional repercussions. The | | next day, he learned from reading the local newsapaper that two other | | people reported seeing a "spaceman" looking into their car in | | Chilcomb, near Winchester, England after their car engine failed. | | (Source:http://www.colinandrews.net/UFO-PoliceSergeant-SilburyHill.html). | | | | 1978 - In the early morning hours of this day in 1978, at shortly after | | midnight, a famous motion picture film was taken by a news crew while | | flying off the eastern coast of South Island, New Zealand near the | | town of Kaikoura. The luminous UFO was seen by everyone on board the | | aircraft and was tracked by radar at the same time. It was somewhat | | cone shaped, and was not a Japanese shrimp fishing boat, as claimed | | by debunkers. (Sources: International UFO Reporter, July 1979, p. 6; | | APRO Bulletin, May 1980, p. 2). | | | | 1978 - There were several other UFO reports from around the world on | | this day, from Brazil, England, Scotland, Italy, Switzerland, and | | Florida. In Mirrasol, Sao Paulo State, Brazil a man was walking home | | around 11:00 p.m. when he heard a noise and noticed a light | | approaching from behind while crossing the street. He stepped aside, | | thinking that it was a car, but he then realized that it was a huge | | yellowish light that was attached to the bottom of a large flying | | object. He was suddenly struck by a beam of light and lost | | consciousness. Later, he found himself inside the object, next to a | | corridor. He next noticed three short humanoid creatures who spoke | | among themselves in a strange incomprehensible language. The beings | | wore helmets and coveralls and their faces were covered in a green | | light. Their eyes resembled two simple holes, lacking eyelids or | | eyebrows. He apparently then blacked out again, and arrived home at | | 3:30 a.m. without any further recollection of the event. (Source: | | Walter K. Buhler, Guilheme Pereira, and Ney Matiel Peres, UFO | | Abduction at Mirassol). | | | | 1978 - In Posada, Italy at one o’clock in the morning, a 3-meter in | | diameter glowing sphere appeared over a marsh. It had dark triangular | | spots that moved back and forth on the surface of the object. In | | Bayford, England Mr. and Mrs. Mason sighted a cigar-shaped object at | | 7:00 p.m. moving silently through the sky from the west to the east. | | The UFO had a long body with lots of tiny lights. Before losing sight | | of it two strong lights came on, one in the middle and one at the | | end. At the same time a silver triangle crossed the sky from west to | | east in Carlisle, England in Cumbria. Two minutes later a triangle | | with a grayish hue crossed the sky from west to east in Edinborough, | | Scotland, and three minutes after that another huge triangle was seen | | flying in the same direction over Hull, England.

Mansell, Awareness, April 1979, p. 12). | | | | 1978 - One hour after the multiple UFO flyovers in Great Britain, at | | three p.m. EST three men saw a silver disc hovering only one block | | away from one of their residences in Homestead, Florida. Mr. | | Betancourt, age 37, described the UFO as being between 40-50 feet in | | diameter and having no visible engine or wings, and making no noise. | | It hovered over a neighbor’s backyard for about 30 seconds before | | flying off. At 10:00 p.m. European time in Zermatt, Switzerland two | | people witnessed a luminous round object over the alpine glacier, | | brightly illuminating the ice. Later that night, at 2:30 a.m. the | | next morning, a big electrical power outage occurred in the city. | | (Sources: Dade News-Leader, January 3, 1979; Larry Hatch, U computer | | database, case 13046). | | | | 1980 - Near Sacramento, California the main witness, John, was | | driving on California Highway 5 heading toward Sacramento. Shortly | | after 10:00 p.m. he spotted a large, dark object coming toward him | | and moving slowly, left to right. The object passed him, but when he | | looked behind him it was no longer in sight. "I have to see what this | | is," he thought to himself and he intended to pull over at the same | | time that he started to feel groggy and his truck's engine began | | sputtering. He experienced a period of missing time, and the next | | thing he remembered was that he felt he had just awakened from sleep, | | although he was driving with both hands on the steering wheel. It | | struck him as odd that all the holiday traffic was gone and no other | | vehicles were on the roadway. Thinking only a few minutes had passed, | | he called his girlfriend to tell her about his unusual experience, | | and was surprised that she was angry with him because he had been out | | of touch for nearly three hours. It was already 1:00 a.m. on New | | Years Day.  | | | | (Continued.) In 1992 John underwent hypnotic regression, and was able to remember | | some of what had happened to him during his missing time episode. He | | remembered being led somewhere by hand, and having no control. | | Whoever was leading him seemed to have all the control. John became | | very agitated as they wanted him to look at something and he didn't | | want to. Becoming even more agitated and crying, he remembered that | | the aliens were showing him tanks and he didn't want to be there. | | John could not bear to look at what was being shown to him, and it | | took two more hypnotic regression sessions to get through his block | | and remember what he had been looking at. John described a small baby | | floating in some type of hearvier-than-water fluid. Tearfully, he | | described one of "them" saying this particular baby was his and that | | he had to show it some love. John recalled, "They are saying, I am | | here for a reason, there are a number of them telling me it's my | | child, to love it, to feel love for that baby. I need to connect; | | they tell me it will help the baby feel part of something. I can't | | believe this is happening!" After showing John "his baby", the beings | | escorted him to another romm he described as "clean, sterile and | | bright, with a long table in the middle." John began crying again and | | said, "I'm telling them I don't want to do this again." He recalled | | the aliens telling him that they were just going to take a sample. He | | became more agitated and repeated twice, "It's not right what they | | are doing...it's not right!" (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1980 | | Humanoid Reports, citing Yvonne Smith, Yvonne@ysmith.com.) | | | | 1982 - In Kent Cliffs, New York in the lower Hudson River Valley a | | police officer and his wife spotted a delta-shaped UFO making a | | faint, low frequency hum at 11:54 p.m. The colored lights on the | | object switched off and three bright white lights lit up the ground. | | He was able to shoot some movie film of the UFO, but the images are | | of low quality. (Source: J. Allen Hynek & Phil Imbrogno, Night Siege: | | The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings, p. 6). | | | | 1984 - In Level Green, Pennsylvania in the UFO hotspot of | | Westmoreland County, two residents of the community heard a tapping | | sound on one of their house windows at 6:10 p.m. They saw what looked | | like an eye-like orb peering in through the window. It turn and flew | | away, but repeated the performance one more time. (Source: MUFON UFO | | Journal, June 1985). | | | | 1989 - After 11:00 p.m. Victor Seminskiy was walking home from a | | local farm to the hamlet where he lived in Artyemovka, Kharkov | | region, Ukraine when he saw a UFO descending over him. He next felt | | the air squeezing him, as if in a vacuum, and he saw an extremely | | bright light envelope him and a lattice-like structure surround him. | | He was next pulled up into the UFO, and the next thing he remembers | | he was unexpectedly next to his house. He thought that only 15 | | minutes had passed, but he had actually been missing for two hours. | | Most of his memory of the abduction experience had apparently been | | repressed or erased, but the witness refused any hypnotic regression | | to aid him in recovering his memories of the experience. Victor's | | wife reportedly confirmed the experience. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | 1989 Humanoid Contact Sighting Reports, citing Vladimir S. Mantulin, | | Kharkov Anomalous Phenomena Research Group). | | | | 1990 - In the middle of the afternoon in Taszar, Hungary an aircraft | | mechanic was approached by a strange man and woman riding in a | | totally black van with blacked out windows. The strangers seemed to | | be human, but were also able to read the witness's mind. The | | strangers left, but later that night the witness was approached by a | | reddish-yellow light the size of a football, at a height of about 2.5 | | m. Terrified, he first two shots at the object, which quickly | | vanished from sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1990 Humanoid | | Contact sighting reports, citing Kriston Endre, RYUFOR Foundation | | Hungary). | | | | 1990 - In Karaganda, Kazakhstan local resident Maksim Abramtsev was | | at home watching the New Years Eve celebrations on television when he | | glanced out the window and saw the strange face of an unknown entity | | staring in the window at him. Afraid, he jumped up and ran outside | | into the street. There he saw several "men" or humanoids walking | | toward a globe-shaped object. The object was hovering low over the | | ground, and Maksim felt a strong fear after watching this scene, and | | ran and hid behind the door on his porch. Moments later, the globe | | ascended into the air, flying low over the ground, then stopped and | | hovered in the air for a brief moment before shooting away at high | | speed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1990 Humanoid Contact sighting | | reports, citing Industrialnaya Karaganda newspaper, May 18, 1991). | | | | 1992 - A woman walking outside her home in San Antonio, Texas saw a | | huge, gray metallic disc drop straight down from the clouds. It made | | a buzzing noise. It altered its shaped to that of a sphere with four | | legs and landed. Under hypnosis it was revealed that she experienced | | an abduction aboard the craft, in which she was given a medical exam | | by pale, human-looking men. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1992, case #1678, citing Karla Turner; Lumieres dans | | la Nuit, issue 316). | | | | 1993 - An object that looked like a globe on a pedestal followed two | | people in a car for several kilometers near the shoreline in Yanchep, | | Western Australia at around one o’clock in the morning, before flying | | off. The same or a similar object was seen in Brazil that day. At | | 1:40 a.m. local time a huge, silent, light bulb shaped UFO with | | bright lights and a flat bottom, flew over the city of Quixada, Ceara | | State, Brazil. (Sources: UFO Newsclipping Service, March 1994; | | Boletim CEPEX). | | | | 2000 - A bedroom visitation of possibly a holographic figure occurred | | at four o’clock in the morning in Kingsville, Texas. The witness | | reported that a humanoid figure and a blue light passed through a | | skylight and materialized inside the bedroom. The figure and the blue | | light disappeared at the same time. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 2000, case #3516, citing Filer’s Files). | | | | 2001 - In the evening of this day in Pasadena, Texas a man reported | | seeing a huge rectangular object, an estimated 300 meters in length, | | about ten miles away. The UFO hung vertically in the sky at only a | | few hundred feet altitude, and had several white lights inside a red | | rectangular outer rim. (Source: George A. Filer, MUFON UFO Journal, | | February 2002, p. 14). | | | | 2002 - At 1:30 p.m. in Buena Park, California a silver disc was seen | | hovering in an upright position. The disc then leveled out and moved | | quickly off to the southeast. It made no sound.(Source: Peter | | Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, December 2002; George A. | | Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO | | Sightings, p. 6). | | | | 2006 - In Nobsa, Dicho, Boyaca Province, Colombia three men named | | Guio, Barragan, and Zarate witnessed a football-shaped object through | | binoculars beginning at 3:30 p.m..
