Webb and Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A1689). | | | | 1954 - Jettingen, France. A railroad employee, Rene Ott, saw a | | mushroom-shaped object three meters in diameter, in a field three | | meters away from Route N16 and one meter above the ground.

The craft | | had illuminated portholes. At approximately the same time (8:00 p.m. | | New Zealand time) a large white, domed shaped mass flew quickly | | toward the west over Fairlie, New Zealand, and was gone from sight | | behind some hills. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, cases | | 5835 & 5836). | | | | 1964 - At 3:30 p.m. a grayish black wingless object w two stubby fins | | in the rear portion followed a C-119 "flying boxcar" transport plane | | over Waltham, Massachusetts.

The circle was somewhat | | radioactive and the plants inside the circle were bone-dry as if | | completely dehydrated. (Source: Irene Granchi, UFO Abductions and | | Reports from Brazil, p. 74; Data-Net Report, January 1970, p. 11). | | | | 1974 - In the predawn hours on this day in Plant City, Florida a | | motorcyclist had his engine and all its electrical system die. He had | | been traveling at 70 mph when suddenly there appeared a UFO right | | behind him, moving at the same speed. After the ignition system | | failure he coasted to the roadside and the UFO shot off toward the | | northeast. (Source: Tampa (FL) Neighbor, October 16, 1974). | | | | 1974 - After being summoned telepathically to a remote desert spot | | near Chilca, Peru the witness saw a luminous, disc-shaped object land | | this night. It touched down nearby on four legs like protrusions. A | | door opened and a very tall blond man wearing a silvery outfit came | | out. The being communicated via telepathy with the witness. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1974, case #282, citing | | Lisa Rome, UFO Universe, June-July 1991). | | | | 1975 - Robert Suffern of Three Mile Lake reported that a UFO landed | | about 13 miles northwest of Bracebridge, Ontario on this night, and | | he almost ran over one of its occupants with his car. Mr. Suffern | | said the craft was about 12-14 feet across, nine feet high, and | | circular in shape. "There was a black strip running around the | | circumference, and what looked to be a small platform at the bottom | | of the vehicle." Mr. Suffern said he found the craft while driving | | around to investigate "a glow in the sky" seen by his sister, and who | | telephoned him to say she thought his barn might be on fire. | | The UFO was parked on a road that led to the lake. A few seconds | | after he saw it, the ship lifted straight up from the road in front | | of his car. "There was no dust raised, no apparent thrust, nothing," | | he said. "It went straight up and over the trees." | | | | Mr. Suffern turned his car around and headed home. However, when he | | reached the top of the hill, he had to slam on his brakes to avoid | | hitting "some sort of creature." The being was the height of the car | | fender. It was humanoid in appearance and wore a globe-shaped helmet, | | and walked like a midget. The helmet was slightly lighter in color | | and the "spacesuit" was like tin foil that had been crushed and | | flattened out. The creature turned, took three or four steps, vaulted | | over a fence, and disappeared. Suffern raced back to his house and | | arrived in time to see the object hover near his home before crossing | | the lake. He was badly shaken by the incident. "It's all right to | | think what you would do…but when it actually happens, you are scared | | because you are dealing with the unknown." (Source: Bob Gribble, | | "Looking Back October 1975", National UFO Reporting Center website). | | | | 1977 - Nine disc-shaped UFOs circled a Soviet Navy submarine tender | | on this day. The radio, electronics, and on-board communications were | | all disrupted. (Source: Jacques Vallee, UFO Chronicles of the Soviet | | Union: A cosmic Samizdat, p. 29). | | | | 1979 - Four 15-year-old youngsters were playing in a field in Heiloo, | | Netherlands at around seven p.m. when they encountered several | | strange luminous flashes and lights around them. They soon saw what | | appeared to be a luminous "mass" behind some nearby bushes. One of | | them approached and was confronted by a tall humanoid with a large | | human-like face. The being had white hair and large, red, | | almond-shaped protruding eyes. The figure wore a shiny white robe. | | One of the other boys then approached on a bicycle and saw three | | other similar figures standing immobile about 50 meters away. | | Apparently a total of seven humanoids were encountered at one time or | | another for the next hour. They seemed to be able to move around from | | one place to another in an instant. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1979, case # 1487, citing Hans Van Kampen). | | | | Written by Donald A.
