It was witnessed by a Mr. | | D. Ready. (Source: Peter Rogerson, World-Wide Catalog of Type 1 | | Reports, citing FSR, May-June 1970, p. 11). | | | | 1953 - At 9:00 a.m. an object shaped like an airplane "wing tank" | | fell from the sky over Ontario, California. It stopped in midair, | | turned into a circular shape, then shot off toward the north at an | | extreme speed. There were four military witnesses. Another UFO was | | seen later that day by a man named Bray in Hayward, California in | | Alameda county at 11:45 a.m. (Source: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A | | History. 1953: August-December, p. 23; Project Blue Book files | | counted in official statistics, September 1953, case 14). | | | | 1954 - At 8:00 p.m. red luminous cloud-cigar was seen by three people | | emitting disc-shaped UFOs in Fontainebleu, France. The object was | | surrounded by a luminous vapor. The cigar-shaped UFO flew in a manner | | to avoid a passing airplane. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer | | database, citing Jacques Vallee, Challenge to Science: The UFO | | Enigma, p. 66). | | | | 1954 - In Marshfield, Missouri at eleven o'clock in the morning | | private pilot J. N. Williams and his friend E. J. Ash observed a | | thin, translucent tan asymmetrical boomerang-shaped object as it came | | down behind some trees. The object appeared to be revolving, and it | | then tumbled down behind the trees. Marks were found in the dirt at | | the supposed landing site. The ground was "pulverized" with dirt torn | | up and small rocks disturbed. Their sighting lasted 15 minutes. | | (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, | | case 3226; J. Allen Hynek, The Hynek UFO Report, p. 178; Don | | Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1955 - At Hickham Field in Honolulu, Hawaii at 7:30 p.m. a huge | | sausage-shaped craft, traveling at a speed of 1,700 mph and an | | altitude 32,000 feet, was tracked on several radar sets and seen | | visually by many. (Sources: Civilian Saucer Intelligence (New York) | | Newsletter, February 1956, p. 29, citing M. Myerson; Loren E. Gross, | | UFOs: A History. 1955: September 15-December, p. 2). | | | | 1956 - At 7:50 p.m. Mr. Borrud, an amateur astronomer, sighted a dull | | metallic elliptical object over Williston, North Dakota. It was the | | size of a small airplane, and it oscillated in a side-to-side motion | | as it moved above the Missouri River. The estimated speed of the | | craft was 150 miles per hour, and the sighting lasted five minutes. | | (Sources: Leonard H. Stringfield, CRIFO Orbit, November 1956, p. 3; | | Thomas M. Olsen, The Reference for Outstanding UFO Reports, case 79; | | Richard F. Haines, International UFO Reporter, April 2000, p. 25). | | | | 1967 - In Caracas, Venezuela a horse trainer was awakened on this | | night by the presence of an intruder who first tugged at the | | trainer's pillow, then grasped his arm tightly. As the man tried to | | sit up, the attacker encircled his neck with its arm trying to choke | | him. A horse in the nearby stables began neighing and the attacker | | let go and fled. The man screamed for help and was found to have | | several cuts and abrasions where he had been scratched by claws or | | sharp fingernails. A short while later another stable worker heard a | | horse acting up again, and as he approached the stall a small figure | | about the size of a boy, 3.5 feet tall, "zoomed" out of the stall and | | was gone in seconds. The figure was described as a hairy dwarf, and | | looking like a chimpanzee or monkey. The horse was skitish for | | several days following the incident.

Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-98, citing Jim & Coral | | Lorenzen). | | | | 1967 - At 8:30 p.m. a priest named O'Sullivan saw a luminous ball of | | light in the sky while driving three miles outside of Gravois Mills, | | Missouri with two other men. The UFO swung around to the northwest, | | then to the north, and flew off toward the northeast. It was flat | | with a dome shape on top. The sighting lasted 15 minutes. (Source: | | Ted Phillips, Skylook, January 1968, p. 3). | | | | 1969 - On this evening a woman was walking with her son along a | | footpath in a wooded area in Montreal, Quebec when they noticed a | | bright circular object on the ground at the edge of the woods. There | | were three men standing outside of the object and two men inside. The | | men were described as very tall, over seven-foot tall, thin, and | | wearing tight-fitting one-piece garments. The witness left to get | | other witnesses but upon returning the object and the humanoids were | | already gone. A circular flattened area of grass was found at the | | site. That same evening in Saratoga, New York at 7 p.m. a large | | circle of white light was seen by three witnesses. It was flashing | | red, green and orange lights. It made no sound as it moved very | | slowly off at a low altitude.

It descended to | | fifty feet over the sea, as close as 150 feet away. When he shone his | | motorcycle's high beam headlight on the object the light dimmed. When | | he did it a second time it did not respond again. (Source: Keith | | Basterfield, Australian Flying Saucer Review, February 1972, p. 21). | | | | 1971 - At 11:45 p.m. a silent ovoid-shaped UFO flew at 500 to 1000 | | meters altitude over the city of Marseille, France illuminating the | | area below it yellow in color. It made a sudden 70 degree turn and | | shot off toward the north. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # | | 127). | | | | 1971 - Sr. Paulo Caetano Silveira, age 27, a typewriter technician, | | found his car being followed by a red luminous disc while driving to | | his home in Itaperuna, Brazil. At Tombos he reported the matter to | | the local police, but they did not take him seriously. After he | | calmed down he started off again. This time, at about 7 p.m. and at a | | small village named Serraria, he encountered a black object on the | | road that turned a luminous red and then blinding white in color, and | | his car engine died. The object, slightly larger than a Volkswagen, | | had small windows and an open door. Next to it were standing three | | short, chubby beings approximately 20 inchestall, with fair | | complexions and slanted eyes. They wore one-piece, sky-blue coveralls | | with high collars, and "Roman helmets" with spikes. They carried | | vivid red and blue lights and moved in a stiff, mechanical way. | | | | Two bright beams of light were focused on the witness's car and its | | doors popped open. These beams pulled the witness from the car and | | into the machine, whose interior was brilliantly illuminated by white | | light. There was little in the way of furnishings inside, but inside | | were five more similar dwarfs. "An infernal din" commenced and | | believes the object flew some distance with him, but he shortly lost | | consciousness. The next thing he was remembered was being carried out | | and laid on the road beside his car. The UFO then rose vertically, | | hovered a moment, then shot off laterally at a staggering speed. The | | witness was left in a state of shock and nearly blind. For five days | | he still could not see well and was extremely nervous. His watch had | | lost 15 minutes. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, citing Dr. Munir Russade and Dr. | | Walter Buhler). | | | | 1971 - That same night in Twin Falls, Idaho two young boys reported | | that their farm animals were frantic when an orange UFO flashed and | | circled overhead. (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator, September 1971, p. | | 3). | | | | 1972 - At 9:00 a.m. Virgilio Gomez was driving along a lonely road | | near the University's experimental farm in Palenque, San Cristobal, | | Dominican Republic when a man wearing a light green coverall that | | covered even his feet waved him down. The man wore no gloves, and had | | a sort of watch on his wrist. The man identified himself as Freddy | | Miller, a well-known Dominican baseball player who had disappeared | | mysteriously more than 13 years ago on May 5, 1959. He said that a | | UFO had rescued him from drowning in a boating accident, when two of | | his companions drowned, "because of my knowledge of radio technology | | and my intelligence." Nearby were two slender men seven feet tall. | | They were dressed like Miller. They had complexions like Orientals | | and short, chestnut colored hair. Miller pointed out to Gomez the | | craft in which they had arrived: it was football shaped, the size of | | an automobile, with a bright "nickel plated" surface. The | | conversation continued for about five minutes, during which Miller | | told Gomez that the humanoids were "supposedly from Venus." Then | | Gomez was told to leave, because theywere departing, and not to worry | | if his car wouldn't function, because it would return to normal | | spontaneously. As he drove away Gomez saw the three men approach and | | get into the UFO. (Sources: Leonte N. Objio, APRO Bulletin, January | | 1982, p. 5; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case 1972-27 (A1170), citing Danilo Rodriguez | | Dominguez, Stendek, March 1973). | | | | 1973 - At around 6:00 a.m. Isobel Nielson saw an object that at first | | seemed oval shaped, then assumed a domed disc perspective, as she was | | travelling on the train near London, England from Glasgow, Scotland. | | She could not recall the exact location. (Source: J. Bernard Delair, | | The UFO Register, Volume 5, 1974, p. 51, case 600). | | | | near London, England - September 22, 1973 | | | | [] | | | | 1974 - In Tayene, Tasmania, Australia a married woman was driving her | | car along a mountain road with the radio on when the whole area lit | | up and a high-pitched whistle came over the radio. A glowing | | orange-silver disc dropped toward the road and approached to within | | 20 meters. It hovered 25 meters in front of the car just three meters | | above the road as the woman backed up the car to escape. It then shot | | straight up. The witness felt sick after incident.

It | | walked to the edge of the roof and floated down to the ground. | | Outside was a gray rectangular UFO that made no sound. It rose up | | into the sky vertically. (Sources: John Barry, CUFOS case | | investigations file, citing Kandiyodi County Sheriff's Office; | | International UFO Reporter, November 1976, p. 5). | | | | 1977 - An elongated object with brightly lit windows passed | | Continental Airlines flight 954 near El Paso, Texas on a cloudy | | morning at 5:25 a.m. There were three witnesses onboard the DC-10. | | (Sources: APRO Bulletin, October 1977, p. 1; Dominique Weinstein, | | Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 40; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, | | Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, pp. 21 & 123). | | 1980 - At 3:43 a.m. another air collision nearly occured over the | | Caribbean Sea south of Haiti between Pan Am flight 440 and an | | unidentified bluish-green cigar-shaped object. The UFO had a | | horizontal row of 5-6 steady lights, which the flight crew presumed | | were windows. The distance between the Pan Am flight and the UFO at | | its closest approach was less than a mile. The estimated length of | | the UFO was 50 feet. It changed course when the plane flashed its | | landing lights. The event was witnessed independently by the crew of | | two other airliners in the area. (Source: Allan Hendry, International | | UFO Reporter, November 1980, p. 12). | | | | 1988 - On a highway in Walcha, New South Wales, Australia at 7:30 | | p.m. a car engine died and the driver reported it got cold inside the | | car when a red light hovered over his car for five minutes.

The body was | | reported to be greenish in color and shiny. They said that the hands | | had only three fingers. On seeing the witnesses, the tiny creature | | scurried away into the housing project that was still under | | construction. On the same day a 13-year-old student, Law Wai Chow, | | claimed to have encountered a strange tiny entity in the same area. | | He described it as having eyes like those of humans but red in color | | and with no eyebrows. The creature had pointed ears. That afternoon | | another boy, Mohd Najib Rasli, age 12, went to the site where the | | creatures were reported earlier in the day. He spent nearly an hour | | searching for the creatures. Finally at 3 p.m. he spotted the tiny | | being near a hole in the ground. He tried to catch it but it | | immediately ran away and was lost from view. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1992, citing Ahmad Jamaludin, | | Centre for Malaysian UFO Studies). | | | | 1992 - About 15 members of an international UFO group had gone to the | | scene of previous encounters in Huaika Tabio, Colombia and were | | waiting for any unusual phenomena. At 8:05 p.m. they saw a large | | orange-colored sphere descend from the mountain and land about 300 | | meters away from them. Five from the group approached and watched a | | beam of white light strike the ground ahead of them. From the ground | | it became a crescent shaped light, blue in color. Smoke then rose | | around the object and a tall blond-haired, Nordic-looking individual | | emerged from the smoke. He walked around briefly, then entered the | | crescent-shaped light. Everything then just disappeared. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1992, citing Grupo | | Contacto OVNI, Colombia). | | | | 1994 - At four o'clock at night a 40-meter long triangular UFO flew | | over a farmhouse in Sornay, Saone-Loire department, France.

It was yellow | | and had white lights oscillating on a rounded front, and red lights | | in the rear. After it went over a ridge eight or more blinking | | nocturnal lights crisscrossed in the same direction. Livestock in the | | area panicked. The entire sighting lasted about two minutes. | | (Sources: UFO Newsclipping Service, January 1996, citing Pueblo | | Chieftain; Christopher O'Brien, Enter the Valley, p. 315). | | | | 1995 - In Redmond, Washington at 9:30 p.m. dogs were barking as one, | | and then four round objects with lights hovered overhead for about a | | minute.
