A broad-shouldered | | man with pale skin was inside the craft. Another was outside | | examining a fence, while a third was closer to the farmer. Da Costa | | dropped his hoe, and this third man, with a smile, picked it up and | | gave it back to him. All three men were broad shouldered, with very | | pale skin, slanted eyes, and long blond hair. They wore light brown | | coveralls fastened to shoes without heels. After plucking a few | | plants, the men returned to their craft, which rose into the air | | slowly for 30 feet and then shot off at a high speed. The witness had | | never previously heard about flying saucers.

Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, | | case 1954-139 (A0351), citing Donald Hanlon, The Humanoids: FSR | | Special Edition No. 1, p. 20). | | | | 1955 - A bluish white elongated UFO was sighted by a married couple | | from a terrace of an apartment building in Boonton, New Jersey at | | 7:00 p.m. as it slowly descended toward the ground above the Empire | | State Building and the New York City skyline. After several seconds | | it "blinked out as if lights had been turned off." At 7:30 p.m. a | | luminous green, bullet-shaped UFO was seen from the New Jersey | | Turnpike as it flew to the west. It had two round portholes that gave | | off a white light. It was in full view before it vanished. "It was | | there and then it wasn't," said the witness.

Three witnesses observed it from | | separate locations. It appeared to be an oval-shaped, self-luminous | | craft, four meters in diameter. Inside the glowing object vague | | shadows were seen moving about. It took off toward the north. A | | circle of yellowed grass was found at the site.

Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | A0506, citing Ouranos, August 1961). | | | | 1962 - A young man named Candau in Bologna, Italy saw a circular | | object 18 feet in diameter land 30 feet away from him. Two men | | emerged from the object, speaking an unintelligible language, and | | gestured to him. They wore yellow coveralls with wide belts. They | | re-entered craft and it departed making a strange sound. (Source: | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magoina: A Century of Landings, case | | 552). | | | | 1965 - A major military operation took place on this night to recover | | a bronze colored, bullet or acorn-shaped object, 12 feet long and 10 | | feet in diameter, that came down in the woods near Kecksburg, | | Pennsylvania at 4:50 p.m. (Source: UNICAT database, case 787, citing | | Stan Gordon, MUFON Journal, February 1991, p. 3). | | | | 1973 - A 20 meter in diameter cone-shaped object with metallic | | antennae was seen in the sky over Mont Ste. Victoire, Bouches-Rhone, | | France by an aerospace worker at 10:45 a.m. It tilted at an angle, | | rose in the sky, then shot off toward the east. (Source: Lumieres | | dans la Nuit, June 1975). | | | | 1978 - Police in Reggio di Calabria, Sicily, Italy watched a | | multi-colored object with intermittent flashing lights at 6:00 a.m. | | When spotlighted the UFO seemed to enlarge, then emitted a beam down | | onto the police car. Five lights came on aboard the object. When the | | police spotlight was turned off, the lights on the UFO went off as | | well. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A | | Thirty-Year Report, pp. 175 & 351; Larry Hatch, U computer database, | | citingLumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 214). | | | | 1992 - Nocturnal lights were videotaped over a school in Sidney, | | Maine for three minutes at 9:30 a.m. The shape of the object or | | objects behind the lights was indistinct, but there was a loud hum | | associated with the sighting. The lights zigzagged. (Source: UFO | | Newsclipping Service, January 1993). | | | | 1993 - At 7:15 p.m., just after dark, the witness saw a UFO settle | | down on a snowy field just across the road from her house in Walpole, | | New Hampshire. Several undescribed "aliens" exited the object and | | appeared to jump across the field with large leaps. They approached | | the witness house, and then looked in a window. The frightened | | witness hid. The beings then returned to their "ship" and apparently | | left. No traces were found at the landing site. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1993, case # 2650, citing UFO | | Sightings in New Mexico and the World). | | | | 1995 - At 7:50 p.m. a man who wishes to remain anonymous reported | | seeing a brilliant object descend from the sky and appear to enter a | | nearby man-made lake behind an apartment complex in Hialeah Gardens, | | Florida. Armed with his flashlight, he approached the site and saw | | two beings swimming in the water. They had large heads and bright | | luminous eyes that appeared to be blinking. The witness briefly | | illuminated the creatures with the flashlight, and reported that | | their eyes seemed to flare up. He quickly ran away and called the | | police. It is not known if the police found anything. (Source: Albert | | S. Rosales, personal investigation, Humanoid Contact Database, case # | | 2137). | | | | 1996 - Plinio Bragatto, a 74-year old laborer, was on his way home | | after work in Governador Valadares, Mina Gerais, Brazil when he made | | a brief stop to buy some beers. He walked on from the mart and | | stopped to sit on a rock in order to drink one of the beers. At 6:30 | | p.m. he heard a loud sound coming from behind him. When he turned | | around he saw a large metallic oval-shaped craft land in a field | | close to him. It landed on several leg-like protrusions. | | | | Once the object had landed a door opened, and a ladder or escalator | | of some sort was lowered to the ground. Next a two-meter tall | | humanoid figure stepped out. The being approached Bragatto and, in a | | peculiar language that sounded like Spanish, invited the witness to | | come inside. The witness agreed and was escorted inside. Once inside | | he noticed that the interior had a metallic bluish sheen to it. Still | | speaking in the peculiar language that the witness was somehow able | | to understand, the humanoid told Bragatto that they were going to | | take him to their "native planet." He was given the impression that | | the planet was Mars. There was a total of three humanoids aboard, two | | men and a woman. He described them as closely resembling humans. They | | wore loose fitting gray outfits with several golden medallions | | hanging from around their necks. The hair on their heads grew from | | the middle of their heads back, and they had large ears and mouths | | that made them somewhat ugly. | | | | Before leaving, Bragatto was given a medical examination by the | | beings. His stomach area was probed with several needle-like | | instruments. On the way to the being's home planet he was given a | | fruit resembling a "Mamey" and something resembling an empanada. He | | was also given a bitter-tasting beverage. In turn he offered the | | humanoids a beer, which they accepted. Arriving on the surface of the | | other world, the witness was greeted by several similarly appearing | | beings. The "planet" was beautiful in appearance and he saw numerous | | buildings that appeared to be made of a nylon-like material. One | | being now approached him and told him it was time to go, that eight | | hours had already passed. On his was back to the craft the witness | | saw a huge television screen that showed strange holographic like | | images, including dinosaur like animals. | | | | When he asked them when they would be returning to Earth, he was then | | told "We will return when the storms are less intense, since we have | | already lost five of our aircraft as a result of lighting." Around | | four o'clock in the morning he was returned to Brazil, but he found | | himself in an unfamiliar field. He followed a nearby path and reached | | a village that was more than 800 kilometers from his home town. He | | went to the police and told them what had happened. A police officer | | conducted an investigation and reportedly found a circular ground | | mark at the field where Bragatto was supposedly dropped off by the | | aliens. (Source: Albert S.
