It flew off to the | | south. (Source: Michael Hervey, UFOs over the Southern Hemisphere, p. | | 118). | | | | 1966 - At 8:40 p.m. a ring of lights was seen maneuvering in the sky | | over Niteroi, Brazil. It was difficult to see the body of the object, | | but it was assumed to be a disc. Planes appeared and chased the UFO. | | (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 7102). | | | | 1966 - A police officer investigated a vertically descending luminous | | object in Exeter, New Hampshire. He came upon it moving back and | | forth over some power lines at 10:00 p.m. Other police soon arrived, | | and described the object looking like a glowing egg with a dome, | | having red, white and green lights around the rim.

Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 335). | | | | Exeter, New Hampshire - 1966 | | | | [] | | | | 1966 - At 11:30 p.m. William Van Horn, Civil Defense Director, and | | over 80 Hillsdale College coeds in Hillsdale, Michigan watched a UFO | | from the college dormitory. They first saw a pattern of lights on the | | ground. The source of the lights next appeared to hover and do | | manuevers over a marsh for the next two hours. (Sources: Duluth | | (Minnesota) News-Tribune, March 22, 1966; NICAP UFO Investigator, | | April 1966, p. 05; Mort Young, UFO Top Secret, p. 46; Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 732). | | | | 1967 - On this night several teenage girls were driving in a car in | | Hillsboro, Kansas when they saw a bright light ahead on the road. The | | light then approached the car and hovered directly over the roof. It | | was shaped like an upside-down cup on a saucer. The car's engine | | failed as the object hovered overhead, and although the car was | | stopped, it rocked back and forth quite violently. The UFO eventually | | left and the car could be restarted without any trouble.

He again experienced | | being taken aboard a UFO by the same nine-foot-tall entities as on | | the earlier occasion. This time he also encountered a short, squat | | being known as "The Host." However, he believes the experience was | | projected into his mind, rather than a real, solid event. The voices | | of the entities "didn't seem to come from their mouths." He said that | | on this occasion he also found the pair of boots that he'd lost on | | his earlier encounter. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-06, citing Dr. Al | | Lawson, MUFON and CUFOS). | | | | 1974 - Truck driver Maximiliano Iglesias Sanchez, age 21, was driving | | to Algunilla, Spain when he encountered a blinding white light on the | | road near Valdehijaderos at 2;15 a.m. When he was a distance of 200 | | meters from the source of the light, his car headlights and diesel | | engine went out. The 8 meter wide metallic UFO, now only faintly | | luminous, stood of three half-meter long legs, was wider than the | | road and had no visible openings. A second non luminous object | | hovered some 16 meters above the ground to the right. Two beings | | appeared in front of the landed object, and they gestured with their | | arms. One went around the side of the UFO and returned, then both | | disappeared to the right side and the object ascended making a | | humming sound. The figures were human looking, 6 feet tall, and wore | | tight fitting coverall type garments with a metallic hue. They | | appeared to walk and move in a normal manner. Mr. Sanchez was unable | | to make out any facial features. After he passed the site he looked | | back and saw that one object had landed again on the road. (Sources: | | Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in | | Spain and Portugal, case 175; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1974-09, citing Pere Redon, Joan | | Crexells & Vicente Rico Gil et al.). | | | | 1974 - Valdehijaderos, Spain - At 11:30 p.m. Mr. Sanchez had a second | | encounter less than 24 hours after his first close encounter, near | | the same site. Driving the same truck, he encountered three "ships" | | on the ground, and again his motor and lights malfunctioned. As | | before there were no openings in the UFO, but he saw four men | | approach him on the road. He got out and ran, and the figures pursued | | him. After running nearly 2 kilometers he threw himself into an | | irrigation ditch and hid as the four men searched the area, but they | | were unable to find him. After waiting a safe period of time, he | | cautiously returned to his truck. The three objects were still there, | | and his engine would not start. When he got into the cab and closed | | the door the same four figures re-appeared, gesturing to each other. | | They walked around the object and disappeared and it rose off the | | ground slowly with a humming or whistling sound. The truck then | | started normally. After passing the site, Mr. Sanchez saw that the | | third object had again landed and he stopped and returned on foot, | | hiding about 9 meters away. He saw the figures digging into the | | roadside with a T-shaped implement and a large horseshoe shaped tool. | | He could still make out no facial features. After 3 minutes he left. | | A few days later UFO investigators found radioactive traces and three | | 12-meter wide circles of flattened grass in the area. Civil guard | | officers also found traces. (Sources: Coral E. Lorenzen and Jim | | Lorenzen, Encounters with UFO Occupants, p. 140; David F. Webb & Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1974-10, citing | | Pere Redon, Joan Crexells & Vicente Rico Gil et al.). | | | | 1980 - Two 19-year-old teenage boys, one the son of the circus owner, | | had burns on their bodies after a 1:15 a.m. UFO close encounter in | | Gioia del Colle, Italy. One had burn marks on his wrist under his | | wristwatch, and the other had scalding burns on his waist where his | | waist band had two iron studs. (Source: Massimo Greco, UFO | | Newsclipping Service, June 1980, p. 10). | | | | 1982 - On an overcast evening at 9 p.m. a UFO shaped like a vertical | | football with three tube-like appendages banked to the north across | | the Ohio Turnpike in Toledo, Ohio and next came in low over a | | residential area at 200 feet altitude. It flew off to the south. It | | had three steady white lights and a small blinking red light. | | (Source: Karl R. Stewart, CUFOS case files). | | | | 1984 - At 7:45 p.m. a truck driver driving on Interstate highway I-87 | | south of Albany, New York saw a delta-shaped UFO that looked larger | | than a Boeing 747. It paced his truck for five minutes. He reported | | it had "prism-ish" lights. (Source: J. Allen Hynek, Philip J. | | Imbrogno & Bob Pratt, Night Seige: The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings, | | p. 63). | | | | 1984 - Three 12-meter long boomerang-shaped objects hovered at low | | altitude over a highway in Claxton, Georgia at 8 p.m. One of the | | object flew directly overhead at treetop level. It had lights all | | over it. (Source: Michael Hitt, Georgia UFO Phenomenon 1947-1987, p. | | 81). | | | | 1986 - At 1:00 a.m. a farmer reported seeing an object with brilliant | | lights descend and land slowly near him in Santa Ana, Corrientes | | province, Argentina. Two short humanoids wearing black tight fitting | | uniforms emerged from the object. They approached the witness and | | signaled to him, then spoke to him in an unknown language. The beings | | left when the witness told them he could not understand them. A | | six-meter circle of burned grass was found on the site and the | | witness suffered from headaches after the incident. (Sources: Peter | | Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle; Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1986, case # 926, citing UFO Data Base). | | | | 1990 - At Pereyaslavl-Zalessky, Russia a fighter aircraft was | | scrambled at 10:05 p.m. to intercept a UFO that was being tracked on | | military radar. The pilot reported the appearance of a black body | | with two white flashing lights. Their was the suggestion of a | | silhouetted saucer-shaped craft behind the lights. The UFO changed | | altitude and direction at a range of 1,000 meters. It illuminated a | | cloud, hovered, made S-turns, and moved many times faster than an | | aircraft. There was also a red light moving parallel to the ground in | | a horizontal flightpath. (Sources: Igor Maltsev, UNICAT database, | | case 797; Vadim K. Ilyin, MUFON UFO Journal, November 2001, p. 9; | | Paul Stonehill, The Soviet UFO Files, p. 50; Jacques Vallee, UFO | | Chronicles of the Soviet Union: A Cosmic Samizdat, p. 139). | | | | 2004 - Kingfisher, Oklahoma - Two young women, both college students, | | witnessed two very bright lights in the night sky at 7:26 p.m., which | | suddenly descended.  The object, triangular in shape, appeared to | | land.  It was brightly lit with what looked like halogen type lights, | | and was clear or hollow in the center. Other cars stopped to park | | along the highway to look at it. (Source: Peter Davenport, National | | UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). | | | | Written by Donald A.
