He went towards it with an iron | | bar but could not get close because of the stench and a blinding | | phosphorescent light that emanated from the creature. It had very | | long arms, a scaly body, and wore a flightsuit coverall. The witness | | fainted; when he regained consciousness the being was gone. (Sources: | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 468; | | APRO Bulletin, January-February 1959). | | | | 1962 - Numerous witnesses in Palmer, Alaska watched two triangular | | UFOs dive and climb through the sky.

He ran outside and following his son's | | instructions could see a strange, dark disc-shaped object in | | horizontal flight. It flew directly over them in complete silence. | | Its size was large and estimated to be 10 meters in diameter. Its | | color was flat gray and it appeared to have a dull metallic finish. | | It displayed regular flashes from its dome. Mr. Hsiang took six | | photographs of the object, which show an object with a darkened dome | | in a clear sky. (Sources: FSR, September-October 1968, p. 36; Paul | | Dong, UFOs over Modern China, pp. 309-311). | | | | 1968 - Both the headlights and the engine of a car failed near Punt | | Gorda, Florida at 9:45 p.m. The motorist got out to investigate, then | | saw a light at tree-top height, slowly settling to the ground. As the | | light came nearer, the witness saw that it was attached to a metallic | | body, shaped like a pilgrim's hat , with a green glow and bluish | | outline around the edges. A few minutes after landing, the object | | reappeared, then moved off at high speed to the northwest. The | | headlights of the car came on immediately, and the motor could be | | started with difficulty. The driver's watch was found to have stopped | | working. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle | | Interference, p. 41, citing CUFOS files). | | | | 1971 - A greenish domed disc was seen at dusk in Itaperuna, Brazil. | | When the witness approached the object to investigate he ran into an | | invisible barrier ten meters away from it, that knocked him down and | | caused him to lose consciousness. The landing site had burnt grass. | | (Source: Gordon Creighton, FSR, March-April 1972, p. 13). | | | | 1973 - At 2:00 a.m. a dark, slow moving, silent cylindrical object | | blocked out stars as it moved across the sky in Feignies, France. | | There were two long windows on the craft, which flew off to the | | southeast. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, March 1975). | | | | 1973 - Sao Jose Do Rio Preto, Sao Paulo, Brazil - Geni Lisboa was | | busily baking wedding cakes early in the morning at 2:00 a.m., when | | her attention was drawn outdoors by the squawking of her pet | | parakeet. When she looked out she saw a luminous flying object | | approaching her property. The object circled her garden and hovered | | above the wall. Ms. Lisboa, only a few meters distant, could see | | three identical looking figures of small stature through the | | transparent upper portion. They were behind a kind of "parapet" which | | hid them from the waist down. Each one was directly a beam of light | | down as if searching for something. Then their beams simultaneously | | converged on the witness, immediately paralyzing her. Feeling some | | pain and dizziness, she was nevertheless able to call out for help to | | her neighbor, but the object departed before she was able to respond. | | | | When her neighbor arrived, she found Ms. Lisboa's face swollen and | | her eyes bloodshot. Her body was painful, particularly in the joints | | and especially in the knees, but she continued working until the pain | | returned and she was forced to call her neighbor again. Her | | physiological symptoms worsened and she was hospitalized for what the | | doctors labelled a prolapsed uterus. She had had a gynecological test | | six months before and had been healthy. In addition to this, her | | eyesight worsened after the experience to the point where she was | | forced to wear corrective lenses for the first time in her life. | | Also, her previous medical condition of hypertension seemed to have | | made an improvement to the degree where she was able to drop all | | previous anti-hypertensive medication.

(Source: MUFON database of filed | | investigation files, Shirley C. Fox investigator, case 931205E). | | | | 1989 - A car experienced brief electrical system failure, then | | recovered when a very strange looking UFO was sighted at around 11:00 | | p.m. in Charovsk, Russia. The object was mushroom shaped on one side, | | but looked crablike on the other side. (Source: Richard F. Haines, | | JUSA-CISAAF Translations, p. 213). | | | | 1994 - A black and silver cylindrical UFO approached a fisherman in | | Brisbane, Queensland, Australia at 2:10 a.m. He lost track of time | | for the next 90 minutes; later he found cuts on his chest.
