Several small beings got out and walked around for ten | | minutes. The witness, Mr. Mora, thought he had seen an emanation from | | God. (Sources: Alfredo Moacyr Uchoa, Phenomenes Spatiaux, June 1971, | | p. 17; Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO | | Events in Spain and Portugal, case no. 5). | | | | 1943 - A military pilot reported that over Long Beach, California at | | 9:50 a.m. a round, orange object flew alongside and then dove at an | | Army Air Force BT13A trainer aircraft. It subsequently shot away. | | (Sources: Richard Hall, From Airships to Arnold: A Preliminary | | Catalogue of UFO Reports in the Early 20th Century (1900-1946), p. | | 21; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 6). | | | | 1948 - At 2:00 in the afternoon at Holloman Air Force Base, New | | Mexico three base personnel reported having witnessed two silent | | disc-shaped objects, 35 meters in diameter, executing a series of | | violent turns and maneuvers. The discs made no noise during the 30 | | seconds they were in view, and were viewed through a theodolite. One | | of the discs shot up vertically. Project Blue Book listed this as an | | "unidentified" case. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Anatomy of a | | Phenomenon, pp. 52-53; R. B. McLaughlin, True magazine, March 1950, | | p. 25; Richard Haines, Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO, p. | | 79). | | | | 1952 - At 10:40 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. L.G. Ryan, R.L. Stokes, and D. | | Schook of Phoenix, Arizona watched a large, dull gray disc-shaped | | object fly by, followed by two more objects. All three flew straight | | and level at high speed. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO | | Unknowns). | | | | 1952 - Miami, Florida. At 9:15 p.m. four dark circular objects with | | mostly fuzzy edges, crossed the face of the Moon. Each was half the | | apparent diameter of Moon. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook | | UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1952 - At 11:30 p.m. Lt. W. R. Holder and Lt. A.M. Jones, the flight | | crew of a USAF F-94 jet interceptor, saw a small luminous object | | approach Kadena AFB, Japan from the north. It flew straight and level | | at first at an estimated speed of 1,000 knots, but then began to | | maneuver and zigzag. Airborne radar tracked the target for 90 | | seconds. Control tower operators watched for 50-60 minutes while a | | dark shape with a light flew as fast as 330 knots (380 mph). It | | hovered, flew curves and performed a variety of maneuvers. (Sources: | | Richard Haines, Advanced Aerial Devices Reported During the Korean | | War, p. 62; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1956 - A flying humanoid was seen in Birmingham, Alabama. (Source: | | George Eberhart, A Geo-Bibliography of Anomalies, p. 398). | | | | 1960 - An orange disk landed in Beira, Mozambique with a hissing | | sound, then exploded, while four dwarfish figures ran off into the | | brush. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of | | Landings, case 501). | | | | 1966 - At 3:00 a.m. Lillian Louis sighted a vapor-like sphere | | hovering at a low altitude in Lycoming, New York. The object hovered | | low over the ground and was spinning, shooting its exhaust onto the | | ground below. The entire episode lasted about a minute. (Source: Don | | Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1966 - In Alto, Tennessee at 11:55 p.m. witness W. Smith sighted an | | oval object with a dark top. The object appeared cone-shaped when | | moving. It made a high-frequency noise. The sighting lasted 2.5 | | hours. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1967 - At 5:15 p.m. on Highway 50 west of Sedalia, Missouri a truck | | driver reported that a silver disc hovered over the cab of his truck | | for more than a minute. (Source: Ted Phillips, Skylook, February | | 1968, p. 2). | | | | 1967 - Ninety minutes later, at 7:45 p.m. EDT between Jonestown and | | South Lickdale, Pennsylvania on Highway 72 Justice of the Peace John | | H. Demler saw a ten-meter diameter blue disc making a humming sound | | like an electric motor. The object flew over his car emitting a | | chemical odor and sparks. The car's headlights and engine died, and | | the car was buffeted about as the object took off. The witness was | | very nervous and agitated after the close encounter, and the top | | layer of his skin peeled off the next few days. (Sources: NICAP UFO | | Investigator, May 1967, p. 6; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A | | Century of Landings, case 832). | | | | 1967 - At the same time as the Pennsylvania close encounter, the | | Dauncey family saw a small glowing sphere with a metallic band around | | the middle in Peterborough, Ontario. The object emitted two vapor | | trails and, making a humming noise, approached and paced the | | witnesses' car. (Sources: NICAP files, citing newspaper clipping | | dated April 14, 1967; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A | | Thirty-Year Report, p. 335). | | | | 1969 - The two witnesses were parked in a remote area of West Nyack, | | New York at 7:00 p.m. when they saw a light approach. They got out of | | the car and saw a large oval-shaped craft with lights around its edge | | and a beam of light shining from its center. A memory lapse occurred, | | with one witness vaguely recalling the object landing and shining a | | beam of light towards them. Later one of the witnesses remembered | | being inside a circular room lying on a white Formica table. He was | | surrounded by several humanoids described as being five-foot tall | | with pale gray skin, large round heads, and large black eyes. These | | beings were well built and wore tight fitting grayish green | | coveralls. One being appeared to be the examiner, and he wore a | | turtleneck garment and peered intently into the witness's face. At | | one point one of the witnesses remembered struggling and thought it | | felt that he had been ripped to pieces and then reassembled again. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1969, case # | | 489, citing Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions The Measure of A | | Mystery). | | | | 1993 - A Houston, Texas UFO abductee had gone to a professional | | hypnotist and was given a post-hypnotic suggestion instructing her to | | defend herself from alien abductors during any subsequent abduction | | attempts. On this night she was asleep in her bedroom when she awoke | | and saw two short Grey humanoids with large black, oval-shaped eyes | | come in through the wall. As one of the beings approached the bed the | | witness grabbed what seemed to be a black protective eye shield from | | the humanoid's eyes. His skin felt rough as she tore the eyepiece | | off. A moist liquid fell on the witness arm, described as a | | mucus-like substance. The beings then retreated through the wall and | | left. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1993, | | case # 1696, citing Tricia McCannon, International UFO Library | | Magazine, June-July 1994). | | | | 2004 - At 11:00 a.m. a witness in Newport, Tennessee spotted a | | bizarre flying creature resembling an arrowhead flying backwards, | | with what looked like a head or knob on the front. It didn't look | | mechanical, it was more like some kind of animal. It did not have | | extended wings like a bird but seemed to have some stubby wings which | | may have been part of the body, like some type of bat. They protruded | | out near the end and tapered back to a point at the rear. The | | creature appeared to be around three feet long and a little over two | | feet wide. It was moving very fast in a straight line, at an altitude | | of approximate 150 feet. The witness did not see any method of | | propulsion, such as wing movement. It just seemed to be gliding but | | at a high speed. It maintained a level flight path moving westward, | | where the witness eventually lost sight of it. It was light brown in | | color along the sides of the wings, with a dark body color, possibly | | dark brown or black. (Source: Albert S.
