A dull gray disc with a hump in the middle, | | looking something like a fin, was seen at 2:30 in the afternoon by | | the Gmyrek family in Browerville, Minnesota. The disc made no sound | | at first but as it was fading away behind some trees "we heard a very | | low hum." It left no vapor trail, and flew at an estimated speed of | | 300 mph. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official | | statistics; Project Blue Book Report # 7, reported dated May 31, | | 1952; Edward Sullivan, CSI - Los Angeles, citing letter from R. | | Gmyrek dated June 2, 1952). | | | | 1952 - A flying disc was sighted in Tuxedo, Manitoba at 8:26 p.m. | | Four minutes later several discs and cylindrical UFOs were sighted in | | Molson, Manitoba. The UFOs were changing colors quickly, and one | | object stopped in flight, reversed direction, and backtracked by | | shooting off toward the north. At 10:15 p.m. there were two separate | | sightings of nocturnal lights glowing green and white in Winnipeg, | | Manitoba. One of the lights made a ninety-degree turn and turned back | | in flight toward the south.

Fowler, UFOs: | | Interplanetary Visitors, p. 332, 347). | | | | 1967 - A pewter colored object shaped like a storage tank landed in | | South Hill, Virginia at 9:00 p.m. It stood 4.9 meters high including | | the legs, which were an estimated 1.1 meters long. A white burst of | | flame came from the object, which shot up into the sky. There were | | four imprints on the asphalt road forming a rectangle with sides from | | 3.35 to 3.66 meters in length. There was also a burnt spot in the | | center measuring 0.9 meters in diameter. There were two male | | witnesses named Crowder and Martin.

Scott saw a large round, bluish white lighted object | | descend to land in a wooded area. When he got home he notified the | | sheriff's office, then drove back to the site with his wife and | | children and accompanied by a deputy sheriff. While Mrs. Scott and | | the children waited in the car, Mr. Scott and the officer searched | | the wooded area and became separated. The deputy found nothing, but | | the witness came upon the craft resting on small legs in a marshy | | area. Standing next to it was a medium sized man. He called out | | "hello" but got no response; he then repeated the greeting and this | | time received a mental warning, "Get away from here!" He turned and | | fled to his car, badly frightened and in an agitated state. When he | | returned home he told his wife about his encounter. (Source: David F. | | Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1967-36, citing Richard Hall, NICAP). | | | | 1967 - At 9:55 p.m. a yellow dome-shaped object, flat on bottom, was | | seen by two women in Tucson, Arizona. A light beam was directed | | upward from the object, as it descended tipping and swaying in a | | falling leaf motion, apparently attempting to land. (Source: APRO | | Bulletin, May-June 1967, p. 7; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, | | Volume II:  A Thirty-Year Report, p. 336). | | | | 1969 - Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez were driving through the countryside | | between Penaranda and Macotera in Salamanca, Spain when they noticed | | some lights ahead, perhaps a kilometer away. As they got closer they | | noticed a UFO low over the roadway. It had a red rotating central | | light that was flashing and intense, and two smaller green lights | | separated by 20 meters. They approached to within 70 meters, when the | | UFO suddenly took off. It was raining hard at time, and their close | | encounter lasted less than a minute.

There were many witnesses.  (Source: Walter Buhler, | | FSR Case Histories, August 1971, p. 12). | | | | 1972 - EM effect: a car stalled while driving through a forested area | | in the Charente-Maritime department of France near the village of | | Ste.-Soulle at 10.00 p.m. A 16 meter diameter domed disc-shaped | | object descended and landed on four legs, then a one-meter tall dwarf | | exited from the craft. The witness was frozen with paralysis during | | the event, which lasted 45 minutes. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, | | July 1976; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case A1147). | | | | 1974 - At 12:20 a.m. in Gosselies, Hainaut, Belgium a 10-meter | | diameter glowing metallic ovoid object halted at 100 meters altitude, | | made a loud noise, then zig-zagged away. There were two witnesses | | named Vanderclausen. Four minutes later a loud wailing sound was | | heard in Jumet, Belgium and a green, 11-meter orb was seen hovering | | by three witnesses. It shot away to the south. It was back again at | | 12:30 a.m., then it moved off quickly to the southeast. At 12:30 in | | Loverval a domed disc-shaped object emitted a sound like American | | police sirens as it had a close encounter with four witnesses; it | | flew off to the east. At the same time in Marcinelle, Belgium 11 | | witnesses, including a 16-year old teenager who was the main witness, | | watched as a small gray disc with a 40 cm thick base and a three | | meter high dome oscillated slightly at a distance of only 30 meters. | | The craft had ten equally spaced windows, which alternated | | yellow-green and red in color. Half of the dome was illuminated. It | | too emitted a siren sound. (Sources: Michel Abrassart, Inforespace, | | June 1975, pp. 33-36; Jacques Bonabot, Catalog of Belgian Cases, | | cases 372-374; UNICAT case # 172). | | | | 1976 - In Harbor City, Los Angeles County, California while driving | | on the San Diego Freeway at 11:00 a.m. two witnesses reported | | sighting a large white metallic domed disc. It was estimated to be | | between 200 and 300 feet in diameter, and was flying at 3,000 feet | | altitude. It moved slowly at 5-10 mph, with a titled orientation of | | 45 degrees to its direction of flight. The craft had a window on its | | dome. (Source: CUFOS News Bulletin, September 1976, p. 5). | | | | 1976 - At 10:30 p.m. a 23-year-old woman stopped her pickup truck on | | a bridge three miles east of Stacy, Minnesota on Highway 19 in | | Chisago County when she noticed a green pulsating light off the road. | | It passed overhead at an estimated 300-400 feet altitude. She | | estimated the orb was 12-15 feet in diameter. RF interference | | consisted of CB radio static during the close encounter. After 45 | | seconds of even flight it shot straight up when it departed. (Source: | | Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 68). | | | | 1977 - Bill Bartlett, age 17, was driving on Farm Street in Dover, | | Massachusetts with two friends at 11:30 at night when he saw a | | creature on the top of a stone wall, about 20 feet away. It was | | between 3.5 and 4 feet tall and had a small, slender body with a very | | large melon-shaped head, showing no features except two large round | | orange glowing eyes. Its skin was gray, "like the color of a shark," | | and it had large hands and feet with digits that appeared to wrap | | around whatever supported them. It turned its head slowly to stare at | | them. Bill drove away quickly, but his companions had not seen it. An | | artist, he made a drawing later for investigators, now widely | | reproduced in many sources. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-20, citing Loren | | Coleman, Joseph Nyman, & Walter Webb). | | | | 1979 - On this night two Grey aliens materialized briefly in abductee | | B. Herrmann's home in North Charleston, South Carolina. They appeared | | in a blue-green haze, and left behind a metal bar with peculiar | | markings, which they said was a gift of "understanding and respect". | | (Source: Columbia (SC) State, June 28, 1981; UFO Newsclipping | | Service, July 1981, p. 6). | | | | 1989 - At 9:15 p.m. in Crestview, Florida a man's dog barked as a | | 90-foot diameter disc-shaped object hovered nearby. The man aimed a | | .22 rifle at the hovering disc, which had a brilliant white light on | | the underside and made a humming sound. A light beam engulfed him, | | his rifle misfired, and the object sped away. (Sources: Allen | | Reynolds and Dan Wright, MUFON UFO Journal, November 1989, p. 18; | | Richard F. Haines, CE-5: Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, p. 149; | | Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II:  A Thirty-Year Report, | | pp. 31, 282, & 384). | | | | 1992 - In Adelaide, South Australia at 8:30 p.m. witnesses watched | | red and white triangular lights that hovered over the beach for five | | minutes.

(Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # | | 15712). | | | | 1995 - In Oregon, Illinois a young man and his friend witnessed a | | domed disc-shaped object pass overhead at 11:49 p.m. It had two | | lights on each side: a red light in front, and a strobe light behind | | the red. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, | | Seattle). | | | | 1996 - On this evening Teresinha Galo, age 67, reported seeing a | | strange short humanoid creature with bulging red eyes, brown skin, | | and a large head with three oval protrusions, near the grounds of the | | local Jardim Zoologico in Varginha, Brazil in Minas Gerais State. The | | creature hid behind some bushes. It reportedly wore a golden helmet. | | Five animals were found dead in the zoo. (Sources: Lumieres dans la | | Nuit, issue #340; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1996, | | case # 2446, citing Brazilian UFO Report, issue #6). | | | | 1998 - The witness heard something like a police siren as the | | teardrop-shaped UFO flew by in Broomfield, Colorado at 10:30 p.m. | | (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, May | | 1998 archived webpage). | | | | 2003 - An employee of a local manufacturing plant in Concord, North | | Carolina had just finished his shift at 8:00 p.m. and had stepped out | | onto a dock behind a large stack of pallets to have a smoke. He then | | had the feeling of being watched, and he whirled around expecting to | | see a co-worker. Instead he saw a large purple light emanating from a | | teardrop-shaped craft with a round bottom, hovering nearby. The craft | | had a concave windshield, and behind the windshield he could see two | | glowing lights or eyes. They moved independently from one another. | | Terrified, the witness ran but was unable to scream, so he pointed | | out the object to a forklift operator. Next a beam of white light | | shot out of the UFO and struck the forklift. Immediately the | | electrical system of the vehicle shut down and the operator began | | screaming. The witness's next memory was of sitting in the plant | | manager's office. Someone was giving him oxygen and wiping his | | forehead with a cool cloth. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 2003, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting | | Center, Seattle). | | | | 2004 - An irregular shaped UFO was seen hovering over a pond in | | Newmarket, Ontario, Canada at 2:30 a.m.by a single witness.

At 3:00 a.m. two | | orange oval-shaped objects flew at great speeds and made hairpin | | turns while moving about the sky during a thunderstorm in Kemptville | | near Ottawa, Ontario. (Source: Geoff Dittman, UFO Research Manitoba, | | 2004 Canadian UFO Survey, cases # 237 & 238, citing HBCCUFO and | | NUFORC respectively). | | | | 2005 - A buzzing sound interupted a witness's piano playing and | | singing in Piscataway, New Jersey at 10:50 p.m. Looking out the | | window, only 20-30 feet up in the air and a short distance from the | | house, was a half lit lighted object with green slats; the object | | having white and red lights on other side. The close encounter lasted | | three minutes. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting | | Center, Seattle, report uploaded May 11, 2005). | | | | 2007 - A red cigar-shaped object with glowing ends, banded, flew at | | high speed over Sudbury, Ontario at 2:22 a.m. (Source: Chris | | Rutkowski, 2007 Canadian UFO Survey, case # 217). | | | | Written by Donald A.
