According to witness George Mertz, they had thicker | | tops, and flew with a "decided list to the port side" at a speed in | | excess of 1000 mph. Their diameter was estimated to be from 80-100 | | feet. (Source: Edward Sullivan, letter from witness in 1952 to the | | Civilian Saucer Intelligence office, Los Angeles). | | | | 1950 - Two famous UFO photographs were taken on this evening by Mr. | | Paul Trent in McMinnville, Oregon. The UFO was also witnessed by his | | wife. The images show a dark metallic, asymmetric hat-shaped disc. | | The upper structure was described as like a "parachute canopy", with | | slightly off-center triangular post or antenna. It hovered, rocking | | slowly like a rowboat riding at anchor, and made no sound. The photos | | were published in Life Magazine.

Condon, Scientific Study of | | Unidentified Flying Objects, p. 396). | | | | 1954 - On this day in 1954 a lone witness in Lawton, Oklahoma watched a | | disc-shaped object hovering ten feet above the ground. Below the | | object stood a four-foot tall figure. The humanoid disappeared in a | | flash of light after seeing the witness, then the object shot away at | | high speed towards the west. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1954, case # 1412, citing Kevin D. Randle, The | | October Scenario). | | | | 1966 - During a night test firing of the NASA Saturn-V-B second stage | | rocket at the Stennis NASA Test Facility in Pearl River, Hancock | | County, Mississippi, a 200 foot diameter disc-shaped UFO approached | | at high speed, then hovered directly over the exhaust blast coming | | from the rocket for 90 seconds. According to the principal reporting | | witness, a retired Boeing engineer named Allen, there where 30 | | witnesses, including a group of 19 who were on the roof of a nearby | | building and a 35-mm motion picture film crew who filmed the entire | | episode. The following day the NASA facility employees were debriefed | | and informed that what they had witnessed was an unmanned Air Force | | weather balloon. The film from the test firing has never been | | released by the government. (Source: Donald A. Johnson and Don Olson | | case investigation files, MUFON files). | | | | 1967 - At 2:05 a.m. four police officers in Wareham, Massachusetts in | | Plymouth County sighted two inverted dish-shaped objects with | | revolving red and white lights around the rim. One descended behind | | some trees into a cranberry bog. It moved up-and-down like a yo-yo, | | and sped away when the police tried to shine a spotlight on it. | | (Sources: Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, pp. 333 & | | 348; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year | | Report, p. 339). | | | | Wareham, Massachusetts - 1967 | | | | [image] | | | | 1967 - At 2:00 a.m. Michael Campeadore, age 25, a hospital employee | | in St. George, Utah in route to Salt Lake City when he heard a noise | | similar to that of a truck. However, he saw nothing. Then a yellow | | light became visible to his left, and thinking that it was a jet | | plane about to crash, he stopped the truck and got out. He saw it | | stop 30 meters away at an altitude of 30 meters. It was shaped like | | an inverted bowl with a dome on top and looked metallic. He became | | frightened and emptied his .25 calibre Beretta in the direction of | | the craft. He heard the bullets hit metal and the object took off at | | a great speed. When he told his story at a nearby service station, | | the attendant replied that about 20 reports had been made of UFOs in | | the Saint George area recently.

A silhouette | | of a humanoid figure was seen moving behind a window in the craft. | | Angel hair residue was found at the site. (Source: Larry Hatch, U | | computer database, case 7763, citing Brad Steiger & Joan Whritenour, | | The Allende Letters, p. 46). | | | | 1969 - Three witnesses sighted a red ball of light at 3:00 a.m. at | | Santa Catalina de Somoza, Leon, Spain. The luminous red spherical UFO | | had a horn-like extention on one side. (Source: Vicente-Juan | | Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in Spain and | | Portugal, case 111, citing D. Lopez). | | | | 1969 - At two o'clock in the morning a UFO was spotted near the | | ground in the yard of a home in Demers Center, Quebec, Canada. A | | barking dog woke the witnesses, Mr. & Mrs. Chaput, and a bright light | | was shining from the craft into their bedroom. The UFO made a purring | | sound. The incident lasted about five minutes. Ring ground marks were | | found in the yard. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, July 1969, p. 2; | | UNICAT database, case 323; J. Allen Hynek, The UFO Experience: A | | Scientific Inquiry, p. 133). | | | | 1969 - At 1:45 a.m. Mike Luczkowich, age 20, a student at Manakin, | | Virginia was returning home after a date with his girlfriend. He had | | just driven past the Rockville General Store when he noticed | | something about 50 yards ahead of his car. At first he thought it | | might be a couple of deer, but he soon realized that he was looking | | at two humanoid figures about three and a half to four feet tall. The | | creatures were wearing spherical helmets that looked as large as | | basketballs. Circling each helmet was a pale green band that | | reflected the headlights of the vehicle. The beings stood motionless | | at first, but they soon scurried off by running up an embankment to | | the left. The first two had barely disappeared when a third small | | being appeared from the right side of the road and quickly joined the | | others by climbing over the embankment. Luczkowich reported that the | | little men were dressed in light-brown coveralls that were somewhat | | baggy in the legs but tight-fitting at the ankles. He did not see any | | arms, and he could not detect features behind the oversized helmets. | | | | The student was shaken by his experience, and he did not tell anyone | | of the encounter until Sunday. On Monday Luczkowich and three other | | men returned to the site. They were able to locate a fresh trail | | through the poison ivy and honeysuckle growing on the embankment the | | three beings had scaled. Beyond the embankment they found a barley | | field with a path through it, such as the three humanoids might have | | made. After walking in a few feet they noticed two flattened areas, | | where small entities might have thrown themselves down in the field. | | According to Luczkowich, the crushed barley at one flattened area | | showed the imprint of two small bodies, while the other impression | | outlined one other small body. About a half mile west of the area and | | two hours earlier 18-year-old Debbie Payne had reported seeing an | | oval-shaped luminous object over her house when she arrived home from | | a date. The UFO appeared rather bright, then dimmed and became bright | | two times before she and her date reached the door to her house. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1969, citing | | Ted Bloecher, "Occupant Case Detailed," Skylook, November 1974). | | | | 1974 - At around 8:45 p.m. Barry King and Ian Vinten in Chingford, | | Essex, England observed a figure in the distance resembling a woman | | with long white hair, a featureless face, who was wearing a long | | black dress . They took out some binoculars and watched her stand | | perfectly still for 10 minutes as a second black-gowned figure moved | | among some nearby trees. The woman figure, then the second figure, | | vanished from view. Next, the first figure re-appeared 50 yards away | | from its original position and stood motionless again for 10 minutes | | before vanishing once again from sight. | | Upon returning to the site at 9:35 p.m., King and Vinten again saw | | through binoculars two more figures, this time dressed in white. One | | was motionless, the other was "darting about making very quick | | movements," but showing no leg movements, as if gliding rather than | | running. At this point a red lighted UFO was seen rising slowly over | | the treetops in the same direction. After five minutes it moved off, | | passing almost directly over the witnesses, making a "weird | | throbbing, similar to a ship's sonar." It had a central white light | | and two blinking lights near the edge, as well as a vertically | | revolving bluish light around the center. It displayed a central red | | light and two blinking white lights as it moved off. (Source: David | | F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1974-21, citing Barry King for BUFORA). | | | | 1976 - A silver suited figure stood next to silver sphere on the | | ground in Leigh, Greater Manchester, England. It was sighted by a | | Mrs. Kent at 6:15 a.m. as she passed by. Both were gone 20 minutes | | later when she passed by the site again. (Source: J. Bernard Delair, | | Northern Network News, June 1976, vol. 25, p. 8; Jenny Randles, FSR, | | October 1976, p. 27). | | | | 1977 - A housewife reported sighting a green glowing ball with a dark | | equator hovering near her home in Clearfield, Pennsylvania at three | | o'clock in the morning. It shot straight up into the sky and was gone | | in less than a second. (Source: Allan Hendry, International UFO | | Reporter, June 1977, p. 8). | | | | 1977 - At 9:45 p.m. in Bonner Springs, Kansas a silent disc-shaped | | object with white windows hovered for 75 seconds, then flew away | | slowly. (Source: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, June 1977, | | p. 36). | | | | 1986 - Cessna 172 pilot Robert Henderson and his wife Nann had an | | aerial encounter with a "modified half-sphere, with the flat side | | down" while flying over Sedona, Arizona at 4:00 p.m. It approached | | their plane head on and shot quickly to left, passing below the | | airplane. Its speed was estimated at 1,200 mph. Their sighting lasted | | less than a minute, and they detected no sound coming from the | | object. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A | | Thirty-Year Report, pp. 316; UNICAT database, case 660, citing | | Willard D. Nelson, MUFON UFO Journal, October 1986, p. 8). | | | | 1986 - At 9:45 p.m. a three-foot diameter disc with lights buzzed a | | car with three witnesses traveling on Highway 26 in Deridder, | | Louisiana at only six feet altitude. There were no electromagnetic | | effects noticed. The object next shot straight up into the sky and | | disappeared. (Source: Robert Gribble, National UFO Reporting Center, | | Seattle, case 1087). | | | | 1988 - On the shore of Pensacola Bay, a couple in their sixties | | videotaped several UFOs over Gulf Breeze, Florida at 8:00 p.m. for 8 | | minutes. Initially there was one yellowish-orange object, which was | | joined by others. The lights brightened and pulsed, hovered, then | | descended; and faded in and out of view. They made no sound. (Source: | | Donald M. Ware, MUFON field investigations database, case 901113). | | 1994 - In an undisclosed location in Switzerland, a man was in his | | bed sleeping late at night when a strong, pulsating blue light | | suddenly awakened him. He hid under his blanket, but had the | | sensation that he was floating before he passed out. The next thing | | he recalls he was lying on a table in a dark room. The wall, floor, | | and ceiling were very smooth. Below his feet and to his right side | | was something resembling a marble column. Suddenly a slim, small | | pallid humanoid being jumped on top of him. The being was female with | | large dark eyes and with no hair on her head. She somehow made the | | witness fell sexually excited; the whole episode was repeated by a | | second similar being. Then a third female with more human features | | appeared and apparently the same thing happened one last time. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1994, case # | | 2692, citing Dr. Johannes Feibag). | | | | 2003 - A California Highway Patrol officer saw a metallic disc in the | | morning sky over the freeway in Goleta, California at 9:20 a.m. It | | was circular in appearance and tumbling "end over end." At about the | | same time a shiny, thin metallic disc was seen moving over the beach | | at Laguna Niguel, California toward the southwest. It soared, drfited | | slowly, then swooped down like a bird in a thermal air current. It | | had "turbine blades" on the underside. It moved off to the northwest | | in the general direction of Vandenberg AFB.
