(Source: Jan | | Aldrich, Project 1947 Research Notes from Bordentown, New Jersey | | talk, April 16, 2005, p. 4, citing the Norman (OK) Transcript, July | | 2, 1947). | | | | 1947 - At 9:58 p.m a red disc-shaped object flew north to south at | | an extremely fast speed over Charleston, South Carolina. It had been | | seen earlier at Wilmington, North Carolina at 9:30 p.m. (Sources: | | Charleston (SC) News Courier, July 6, 1947; Ted Bloecher, Report on | | the UFO Wave of 1947, case # 147). | | | | 1947 - Late in the evening at around 11:00 p.m. thirteen silver | | disc-shaped objects flew over Albuquerque, New Mexico. They flew | | first toward the south, then turned to the east, and finally flew off | | to the west. A blue disc was also seen zig-zagging in the | | northwestern sky. (Sources: Albuquerque Journal, July 2, 1947; Ted | | Bloecher, Report on the UFO Wave of 1947, case # 152; Richard Hall, | | The UFO Evidence, p. 157). | | | | 1952 - Lynn, Massachusetts - At about 7:25 in the morning two F-94's | | were scrambled to intercept a UFO that a Ground Observer Corps | | spotter reported was travelling southwest across Boston. Radar | | couldn't pick it up so the jets were vectored into the general area. | | At 7:30 a.m. a man and his wife in Lynn noticed the two vapor trails | | from the F-94 interceptors and looked around the sky to see if they | | could spot what the jets were after. They saw a bright silver | | cigar-shaped object "about six times as long as it was wide" moving | | southwest. As they watched they saw an identical UFO was following | | the first one some distance back. Both were moving just a little | | faster than the two jets. The UFOs appeared to be at a very high | | altitude, and the couple watched as the two F-94's searched back and | | forth far below the UFOs. The Air Force lists the explanation of the | | objects as probable balloons. (Source: Edward J. Ruppelt, The Report | | on Unidentified Flying Objects. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1956, pg. | | 150). | | | | 1953 - On this day or the next, at around 11:00 a.m. in Villares del | | Saz, Cuenca, Spain an illiterate cowherd, 14-year-old Maximo | | Munos-Olivares Hernaiz, heard an intermittent whistling soung behind | | him. When he turned around he saw a "big balloon" on the ground. It | | was shaped like a water jug and was metallic in appearance. Through | | an opening came three dwarfs 60 cm tall, with yellow faces, narrow | | eyes, and oriental features. They spoke in a language he could not | | understand. They were dressed in blue, had a sort of flat hat with a | | visor in front, and a metal sheet on their arms. One of them smacked | | the boy's face, then they re-entered the machine, which glowed very | | brightly, made a soft whistling sound and went off "like a rocket." | | There were footprints left behind at the site and four holes 5 cm | | deep forming a perfect square, 36 cm on each side, that were found by | | the police.

At | | around five o'clock in the morning farmer Maurice Masse, age | | 41, heard a strange noise and saw an egg-shaped object 30 meters away | | in a field of lavender. The craft was set on a central pivot with six | | legs, was about five meters long, and had a door showing two seats | | back to back. Nearby it were two dwarfs the size of eight-year-old | | children, with bald heads, normal human eyes, and fine hands with | | five fingers. They seemed surprised when the witness approached them, | | and stopped their examination of a plant to aim a small device at | | him, causing him to become temporarily paralyzed and unable to move. | | They spoke among themselves in shrill sounds similar to a gargle. The | | craft took off and "vanished" into the air. Ground traces were found | | in the field.

Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, | | p. 377; UNICAT, case 481). | | | | 1965 - On this night many witnesses in Framingham, Massachusetts saw | | a silvery white round object, which made side-to-side pendulum | | swings, then flew away to the north. (Source: APRO Bulletin, | | January-February 1966). | | | | 1968 - Returning home at four o'clock in the morning after a dance, | | 17-year-old Raul Salcedo encountered two very tall strange beings in | | Ricardone, Entre Rios, Argentina. They were nearly 10 feet tall. He | | "felt himself drawn towards them by the powerful magnetism radiated | | by them," which temporarily immobilized him, but he was able to break | | free and fled home in terror. There was simultaneously a spate of UFO | | sightings locally and in nearby San Lorenzo. (Sources: Jacques | | Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 913; David | | F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1968-39, citing FSR, September-October 1968, p. 26). | | | | 1968 - At 12:30 p.m. three boys in Botucatu, Sao Paulo State, Brazil | | saw a disc-shaped object on the ground about eight meters wide and | | 350 meters away. It had a large tripod undercarriage and a ladder | | reaching down to the ground. These landing devices were retracted | | inside the object, and the object rose a few meters into the air, | | then flew off at high speed. Physical traces included the ground | | marks left behind by the tripod landing gear: imprints 7m x 6.8m x | | 5.45m apart, and marks left by the ladder. There was also a residual | | "gunpowder" smell, and the boys thought they heard a "tingling" sound | | during the encounter. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: | | A Century of Landings, case # 914, citing Nigel Rimes,  FSR,  | | November-December 1968, p. 21; Walter Buhler, FSR Case Histories, | | December 1970, p. 11; Fred I. Merritt, Leg-Mark Catalog (N = 68), | | case 30). | | | | 1968 - A man, who lived in a third floor apartment along with his | | wife and young son, was watching television around midnight with his | | wife. It was a hot and humid summer night in Norwich, Connecticut. | | Suddenly the TV reception began to snow, and then they heard crying | | coming from the child's room. The man then caught a glimpse of | | someone in the room and ran to see who it was. When he got to the | | bedroom window he saw the figure fly away to a point about 200 feet | | up and several hundred feet south of the apartment building. It was | | headed towards a UFO that was ruby red in color. In seconds the | | figure was like a silver dot that had merged with the object along | | with 3 or 4 other dots. The object then rose to about 1000 feet and | | went southwest at high speed. The creature was described as about | | four-foot tall with large eyes and fang-like teeth. Its arms were | | disproportionately long, like an ape's arms. It wore a silvery | | colored suit and its feet did not appear to touch the ground. It | | seemed to float across the room and went out the open window. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1968, case | | #3198, citing the National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). | | | | 1969 - At 6:15 a.m. Mr. Fred Yoos, age 62, heard a clattering sound | | that shook the building in Olds, Alberta, Canada. Looking out a | | window, he saw a 20 foot green oval-shaped object descend from a | | dense cloud in the northwest. It hovered just above the ground 50 | | feet away. By the light of the rising sun he could see the movement | | of two figures through a window-like opening. The object ascended | | vertically, leaving an imprint. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1969-47, citing | | Ted Phillips, CUFOS). | | | | 1973 - Jarmo Nykanen was staying at his lakeside summer cottage in | | Sounenjoki, Finland when he awoke to a buzzing sound in the early | | morning hours. The cottage was being bathed in a strong blue light. | | Going outside, Jarmo saw a blue light "twice as big as a row boat" | | approach from over the lake. It stopped and hovered offshore. The | | light seemed to radiate from a kind of "jelly," glowing in an unusual | | manner. Jarmo thought he could see a strange being inside the light. | | The next thing he remembered he was lying on the porch of his cottage | | porch at about 6:00 a.m. He had lost track of four hours of time. | | (Sources: APRO Bulletin, November 1979, Paul Deveraux, Earth Lights). | | | | 1975 - Hamden, Connecticut - At 9:20 p.m. two witnesses were sitting | | on their porch when they noticed a bright red oval shoot across the | | nearby tree tops. The object was moving at a height of 100 feet above | | the nearby trees, and covered the distance on three city blocks in | | approximately 15 seconds. During the sighting static interfered with | | television reception, and the family dog was upset for a few minutes | | immediately following the sighting. (Sources: "From the Center for | | UFO Studies", FSR, April 1976, p. 24). | | | | 2001 - On this evening a couple riding bikes in a wooded area of | | Palmerston, Ontario, Canada observed a group of tall humanoid beings | | covered with brown hair. They seemed to be holding or carrying | | unusual devices. The hairy beings fled into the woods when they | | noticed the witnesses. Around the same time there were numerous | | reports of low flying glowing orange disc-shaped UFOs over the area. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2001, | | citing Unknown Country & CAUS). | | | | 2001 - Odete Fortini was standing on the verandah of her house in | | Paracambi, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil on this night when she | | observed a ball of light approach and land about 200 meters away. | | When the light dimmed she could see that it was a disc-shaped object | | with a cupola on top and several small windows around its | | circumference. In the center of the object a door opened, and two | | one-meter tall humanoids stepped out. They appeared to be interested | | in the vegetation around the object. After a few minutes of | | investigation, they re-entered the object, which became bright again | | and took off at high speed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 2001, citing Thiago Luiz Ticchetti, EBE-ET). | | 2001 - On the same night eight-year-old Zeca Borba of Guaraja-Mirim, | | Para State, Brazil reported encountering and communicating with a | | short bluish-skinned humanoid with a large head and big eyes. The | | humanoid carried something that looked like a cane, and wore a | | silvery helmet. After 30 minutes the humanoid boarded a triangular | | shaped object, which quickly disappeared. (Source: Albert S.
