The UFO maneuvered nearer to the plane, which was | | flying at 10,000 feet altitude at the time. The UFO sighting was | | dubbed the "Gander UFO case." (Sources: John R. Colombo, UFOs over | | Canada: Personal Accounts of Sightings and Close Encounters, p. 211; | | Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 13). | | | | 1955 - In Altamira, Venezuela at 9:30 p.m. a teenage couple saw a | | huge disc-shaped UFO fly from horizon to horizon.

(Source: APRO Bulletin, | | January-February 1956). | | | | 1967 - Several people in Haliburton, Ontario witnessed a large | | yellow, glowing object fly over at treetop level at 2:30 a.m. It made | | a loud roaring noise. At 3:42 a.m. an eight-meter wide blue disc was | | seen hovering very low over the NASA/AEC nuclear facility at the Plum | | Brook Naval Air Station in Erie County, Ohio. It was seen by a male | | witness as it was about 1.5 miles away from his car. The disc moved | | toward the ground and heavy static came over the car radio as he | | tried to contact his headquarters at the Air Station. (Sources: | | NICAP, citing the Lindsay Post, February 18, 1967; Mark Rodeghier, | | UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 185, citing NICAP | | UFO Investigator, March-April 1967). | | | | 1967 - At 5:30 that same evening a dark, triangular shaped UFO flew | | blunt-end forward over North Woodstock, Connecticut and hovered over | | a farm. The object had a white light in each corner, and was quiet | | when hovering, but made a roaring sound when it moved off. Television | | interference was also reported during the sighting. At the same time | | in nearby Worcester, Massachusetts a UFO with three bright lights | | hovered over a house. The refrigerator contents reportedly froze, and | | the color TV set in the house had the color fade out of the picture | | during the encounter. After five minutes the UFO flew south, stopped | | briefly, and then sped away. Ninety minutes later two UFOs were seen | | circling low over a house in Mahopec, Putnam County, New York. Six | | human-appearing occupants were seen on board the craft, and one of | | them appeared to wave at the two witnesses, who drove their car | | following the UFO. Reportedly one of the witnesses received a | | telepathic message from the occupants. (Sources: The Hartford | | Courant, February 11, 1967; Worcester Gazette, February 20, 1967; | | Fred Dennis, on-site investigation, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case A1556). | | | | Woodstock, Connecticut - 1967 | | | | [] | | | | 1969 - An abduction occurred in the early morning hours of this day | | in Green Cove Springs, Florida. At around three a.m. two single | | adults, a man and a woman, "Francis" and "Wells", were driving by | | automobile along a highway when they had three unaccounted hours of | | missing time. Under hypnosis in 1977 they recalled being in a curved | | hallway, and seeing four short, Grey aliens who had large eyes and | | ears, no hair, small slit mouths, and wore tight coveralls. The | | aftereffects of their encounter included headaches, depression, and | | skin rashes. (Source: Paul Krutz, Fate, and HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case A1666). | | | | 1969 - Later that same night in Dartmouth, Massachusetts at 10:30 | | p.m. a truck driver saw a fiery ball hovering over some snow covered | | trees. When he approached to within 200 feet with a flashlight it | | accelerated away at a 45-degree angle, causing the snow on the | | treetops to swirl through the air. (Source: Ray Fowler, UFOs: | | Interplanetary Visitors, p. 355). | | | | Dartmouth, Massachusetts - 1969 | | | | [] | | | | 1972 - At shortly after seven o'clock in the evening a dome-shaped | | UFO flew from north to south over Fort Duchesne, Utah and was seen by | | three women hovering over a field for ten minutes.

Raphalan saw a red luminous rectangular object hovering | | over his farm. It shrank to a band of light, and then disappeared. At | | 8:20 p.m. Messr. M. Fraisse, age 33, witnessed a dark, | | helicopter-shaped object hover silently over a field for ten minutes | | in Carces, France. It emitted beams of light, an caused TV | | interference at the time. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, March 1975 | | and May 1975). | | | | 1975 - At 7:00 p.m. in Annandale, New York two 15-year-old teenagers | | saw a low-level, 20-meter diameter disc for ten minutes, then watched | | it shrink away to nothing. At the site there were snapped tree | | branches and scorched earth. (Sources: CUFOS files, report dated | | February 27, 1975; NICAP UFO Investigator, April 1975; Skylook, | | December 1975, p. 16; Margaret Sachs, Celestial Passengers, p. 108). | | | | 1976 - In Hamden, Connecticut on Denslow Hill two 14-year-old | | teenagers, Grey and Barnet, saw two very short humanoid beings | | shuffle rapidly across a road. They wore purple-colored luminous | | one-piece suits and their waists were 20-22 inches above the ground. | | When the boys followed them a bright white, lemon-shaped UFO blinked | | on, and took off into the air only 15 feet away from them. (Source: | | James P. Barrett, case investigation files, and HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Encounters, case A1457). | | | | 1977 - From a window in her house Ms. Lois Stovall of Tucson, Arizona | | saw a luminous object in the sky approach her house from the north. | | She and her grandmother, Mrs. Alice Buckner, went our to the yard at | | 7:30 p.m. for a better view and saw it hovering over a small tree | | less than 50 feet away. It was capsule shaped with a cylindrical | | vertical axis, and transparent on the side facing them with dark | | vertical bars. Through the transparent surface they could see a | | flame-like light and a human-shaped figure, gray all over gray, that | | looked puffed up like a balloon. It had ridges or rings running round | | the appendages, like the Michelin Man. She could not see any hands or | | feet. This figure in an inflated suit was about four feet tall and | | was standing crouched over in a space only barely big enough for him. | | The light was coming from between his feet. Mrs. Buckner walked | | directly beneath the object and tried to touch it but it was hovering | | two feet too high. She could see there was a faceplate in the being's | | suit, and she could barely make out some sort of face behind it. The | | object began to ascend, and soon passed out of sight to the south. | | Ms. Stovall saw three helicopters with glowing red cabin lights | | flying very low over the adjacent school grounds. The investigators | | were unable to find any plausible source for these mystery aircraft. | | Mrs. Dessie Turner, a neighbor, also saw the object while it hovered, | | and estimated that it was 6.5 feet high and 2.5 feet in diameter. She | | thought she could see a shadowy figure inside. She also saw the | | helicopters. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Encounters, case 1977-8, citing Coral Lorenzen, | | APRO; Coral & Jim Lorenzen, APRO Bulletin). | | | | 1981 - The witness had parked her car in her apartment parking lot | | in Auburn, Washington at 11:35 p.m. when she saw a huge lighted | | object with a ring of flashing lights. The UFO left but a second | | smaller craft appeared and descended with a falling leaf motion. The | | witness ran to her apartment and apparently blacked out. Under | | hypnosis she recalled that a light shone on her and she suddenly | | found herself in a domed room with smooth white floors, walls and | | ceiling. The room contained a desk-like object with lights and an | | examination table. She undressed and two beings entered, held her by | | her arms and pressed her down on the table. A third being examined | | her abdomen. The beings were humanoid with light bulb shaped heads | | and with large unblinking eyes, small noses and ears, and slit-like | | mouths. They were thin with sloping shoulders, long hanging arms with | | 4 long fingers and had grayish skin. They wore metallic blue coverall | | uniforms with an insignia of a triangle inside a circle on the chest. | | Another being wore a reddish orange colored uniform. They conversed | | with the witness by using telepathy. (Source: Thomas E Bullard, UFO | | Abductions: The Measure of A Mystery; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database, case # 463). | | | | 1982 - At shortly after midnight a UFO with an intense, lime green | | light hovered just six feet above the snow-covered ground in | | Willernie, Minnesota. Five spots of fire fell to the ground as the | | object rose, and melted holes in the snow. (Source: Joe Twohy, | | newspaper clipping). | | | | 1982 - On this day in the Black Sea six Soviet sailors discover and | | investigate a "disabled ship" in the fog. They are missing for five | | days. When they are returned they report that they had been pulled up | | into a cigar-shaped UFO, and the beings onboard the UFO communicated | | with them by gestures. One of the men reportedly went insane, dove | | overboard, and was drowned. (Sources: Thomas E. Bullard, UFO | | Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery, case 74, citing the National | | Enquirer, November 2, 1982). | | | | 1982 - On the same day as the alleged disappearance of the Soviet | | sailors a close encounter occurred in Escanaba, Wisconsin. At 11:35 | | p.m. on Highway C537 three seventeen-year-old young women were | | driving in a car near a river when they encountered a low flying | | domed disc. The mist from the rear of the object looked like "lit up | | snowflakes." The rim around the bottom of the UFO had red windows all | | the way around it, and a red light shone through the windows. Their | | sighting lasted seven minutes. (Source: Kenneth Schellhase, | | International UFO Reporter, May-June 1982, p. 8). | | | | 1989 - In Fyffe, Alabama a lighted triangular-shaped object with | | rounded corners flew around in the sky and was watched for more than | | an hour by four witnesses, including police. It flew over the police | | cruiser at an estimated distance of 1,500 meters at a steady speed, | | and made no sound. There were other sightings in surrounding | | communities, including De Kalb City, Dawson, Dog Town, and Lick | | Skillet. (Source: Rheta Grimsley Johnson, Commercial Appeal, March | | 15, 1989). | | | | 1995 - Evan Canoose and two of his friends had been camping in the | | area of Larch Mountain Honor Camp near Vancouver, Washington. At 6:30 | | a.m. Mr. Canoose was alone when he saw a strange creature about 30-40 | | feet away. It had an peculiar "out of focus" quality. He said that he | | and the creature stared at each other for 45 seconds. He described | | the creature as built like an orangutan, with a reddish-orange color, | | a wide chest and waist, and a black, flat face with black chest | | markings. It occasionally moved its right arm and hand back and | | forth. The witness heard no noises nor detected any odors during the | | encounter. Evan estimated the creature's height at six feet four | | inches tall, based on where it stood next to a tree. Feeling uneasy, | | Canoose went to his car and did not see the "blurry" creature leave. | | He did not tell his companions about his encounter until their trip | | home. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1995, | | citing Peter Byrne, The Western Bigfoot Society Newsletter, issue # | | 44). | | | | 1996 - The witness woke up at two a.m. in Huon Valley, Tasmania, | | Australia to find her bedroom lit up, and she had an overwhelming | | feeling to go outside. From the verandah she saw the source of light | | to be a bright long elliptical shape about 50cm away in the paddock. | | There was a brilliant bluish white light and a metallic smell you | | could almost taste. Standing in the garden was a tall thin figure | | over two meters tall. The figure beckoned the witness with its left | | hand. She walked down the verandah steps then suddenly became alarmed | | and returned back home. She threw some furniture outside, and then | | everything went dark. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1996, case #2606, citing the Tasmania UFOIC). | | | | 1996 - The witness was at an Italian restaurant in Alice Springs, | | Northern Territory, Australia when she noticed a short Grey, | | troll-like entity walk up to the restaurant, climb up the steps, | | stand still and stare briefly at the witness before disappearing | | around the corner.
