They shone spotlights around, but saw | | nothing. Then Steve fired his rifle several times. Immediately they | | heard a loud "wow-wow-wow" sound, and turned around to see in their | | spotlights the dark, non-reflecting forms about 5 feet tall. They | | were vaguely human shaped, with a glow around the edges, and about | | 30-35 ft away. These forms were moving about slowly, but staying at | | the same distance. They seemed to absorb the light from the | | flashlights without reflecting it, but occasionally an entire shape | | would start glowing slightly. No details could be made out. After | | several seconds, during which Helen failed to use her Polaroid | | camera, Helen and then the others began to feel a choking sensation, | | "as if the oxygen was being depleted from the air." After another | | three or four minutes of this, all five of them piled into their Ford | | Bronco and drove away. Looking back, they saw a glowing | | orange disc-shaped object rise up from near where they had been. It | | was about 40 feet in diameter, and it followed them at a distance of | | 150 feet and right above the treetops, until they reached the | | highway. (Source: David F.

(Source: Bob Pratt, | | Operacao Prato, p. 22). | | | | 1977 - A 14-year-old girl was walking home in Via Lagaccio, Genova, | | Italy at 9:00 p.m. when she spotted a strange humanoid figure | | standing by a nearby tree. The figure began walking very slowly and | | seemed to stagger like if intoxicated. The figure was short and very | | pale and had only two digits on each hand. It was dressed in black | | and wore some sort of helmet. The witness became frightened and ran | | home. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1977, | | case # 998, citing Massimo Varrichio, BUFORA Journal, Vol. 7 # 3). | | | | 1977 - Three hours later a bright red sphere hovered in front of a | | USAF T-38 aircraft flying from Abilene to Dallas, Texas.

The UFO passed only twenty feet over the barn and | | disturbed their pigs. The object looked "like facets of a diamond." | | It moved smoothly from a hovering position, and had two steady white | | lights with a flashing light in the back. When it moved further away | | it looked like a bright orange light in the southwestern sky. | | (Sources: UNICAT, case # 41, citing Frontiers of Science, July 1981, | | p. 14; Joan Woodward, NICAP Category 4 - Animal Effects Cases, | | www.nicap.org, p. 7). | | | | 1981 - Two men in a car near the seashore in Dickinson, Galveston | | County, Texas saw a silvery disc-shaped object paralleling their car | | and then crossing the road ahead of them.

An FAA report on the incident was filed. The planes | | were about 100 miles apart at the time. (Source: UFO Magazine (USA), | | January 2000, p. 12, citing Peter Davenport, NUFORC).  | | | | 1999 - At 2:14 a.m. PDT a woman in California (exact location not | | disclosed) suddenly awoke feeling a presence in her room. Her body | | began to get a familiar vibrating feeling, and then she became very | | lethargic. In the dark she saw a figure in the room; she could see it | | standing by the bedroom door. The witness became enraged and by using | | her thoughts cursed at the entity several times. The being looked | | scared, and it crouched in the corner with its head down. She then | | tried to turn the light on, but it would not work, and she also tried | | to use the phone by her bed, but it was also out of commission. By | | this point she had calmed down somewhat, and asked the being why they | | were not going anywhere (presuming she would be abducted). She | | received the reply, “I just don’t like women.” The being | | now approached her bed, and she recognized her as being female, and | | sat on the bed. The woman then took her hand, which felt very cold. | | The being was about four feet tall, and was wearing a blackish, | | hooded cape. The being next told the witness she was going to take | | her to the ship now. Her next recollection was of waking up around an | | hour later, again feeling a vibration in her body. The female | | humanoid was gone. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1999 Humanoid Sighting | | Reports database, case # 3942, citing CAUS). | | | | 2005 - At around two p.m. a bright, aluminum colored, | | cigar-shaped craft appeared in the northwest sky at an elevation of | | about 35 degrees in Orlando, Florida.

No specific details | | were provided about the appearance of the humanoid, but the witness's | | brother saw two similar creatures back in the summer of 2004. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1999 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, | | citing Peter Davenport, NUFORC). | | | | 2005 - A silvery, oval shaped object with circular shining lights was | | sighted over Tracy, California at 10:05 p.m. The sighting lasted | | nineteen minutes.

Witnesses | | were able to see multicolored lights beneath it that were blue, | | white, and yellow. Again at 11:05 p.m. that night two loud sky | | explosions rocked both cities. They broke windows. Some witnesses in | | Colon said a powerful light could be seen toward the southeastern | | area of the city.
