|  April 7 |
| |
| 1948 - Three men in dark drab flight suits were seen flying through |
| the air at 250 feet altitude over Longview, Washington in the middle |
| of the afternoon. They circled the city as fast as a freight train. |
| They had apparatus on their sides that looked like they may have been |
| wearing guns in holsters. They were seen briefly by three witnesses |
| with the last names of Johnson and Pittman. (Source: Longview (WA) |
| News, April 8, 1948; John Keel, Operation Trojan Horse, p. 207;  APRO |
| Bulletin, June 1980, p. 4). |
| |
| 1950 - Two ferrymen in Saint Ignace, Michigan watched a flying saucer |
| race all over the sky over the Strait. It gave off a plasma glow. On |
| the same day two railroad workers saw a flying saucer the size of a |
| large airplane 3,000 feet over their train. Two silver discs were |
| seen flying over Jericho and Ramallah in Israel and Palestine. At |
| eleven o'clock in the morning a silver, rotating disc flew over a pen |
| factory in Fort Madison, Iowa. It left a shower of sparks behind it. |

| A History - 1950: April-July, pp. 10 & 12; Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| issue 211). |
| |
| 1957 - An ovoid shaped UFO hovered over a beach in Tahunanui, New |
| Zealand at 3:30 p.m. It had sharply defined edges, and was five times |
| the apparent size of the moon. It suddenly shot away to the |
| north-northwest. (Source: Loren Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the |
| Apocalypse: UFOs: A History - 1957: March 23-May 25, p. 27). |
| |
| 1964 - Three humanoids exited a landed UFO at one o'clock in the |
| afternoon in Pocinhos, Brazil. They collected rock and plant |
| specimens. (Source: Bob Pratt, UFO Danger Zone: Terror and Death in |
| Brazil--Where Next? p. 264). |
| |
| 1966 - At 2:30 a.m. in Warminster, England two Army officers |
| witnessed a top-shaped UFO fly from the east to the west at a high |
| rate of speed. The UFO turned and rose, leaving a trail in the sky. |
| It made no sound. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case |
| 6166; Arthur Shuttlewood,The Warminister Mystery: Astounding UFO |
| Sightings, p. 14). |
| |
| 1966 - At 9:30 p.m. in Daniels Park near Denver, Colorado six |
| 17-year-old young men and women were in a shelter in the park when |
| they heard footsteps on the roof. Two boys went out to investigate |
| and heard a buzzing noise that seemed to surround them. In the field |
| they saw two red lights each about a foot in diameter. Meanwhile |
| those left behind in the shelter witnessed a very tall man dressed in |
| black standing outside. They left and started back to their car. When |
| the buzzing started again they saw two blue lights low in the sky, |
| which were joined by a very bright white light. Watching from the |
| car, they continued to hear the sound, and saw "four things like |
| footballs with domes on them." They drove away---with difficulty, for |
| the engine kept stalling---and were followed by a "huge light" which |
| did not reflect in the rearview mirror. (Sources: J. Allen Hynek, |
| case investigation files; David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A0707, citing Herb Roth for |
| NICAP; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| case 754; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1966). |
| |
| 1966 - That same evening several luminous objects with bright red |
| lights were seen hovering at a low altitude in Lincoln, Nebraska. |
| They sped away. (Source: Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence Volume II: A |
| Thirty Year Report, p. 320). |
| |
| 1967 - At 11:00 p.m. three men in Balmoral, Victoria, Australia |
| witnessed a small, silent ovoid-shaped UFO and shone a spotlight on |
| it. The UFO buzzed the witnessed in response. (Source: APRO Bulletin, |
| May-June 1967, p. 4). |
| |
| 1974 - A multicolored cone-shaped UFO hovered over a car between |
| Olympia and Lacey, Washington for several minutes on this night. It |
| made a high pitched whining sound, then took off at a tremendous |
| speed. (Source: Center for UFO Studies files May 1974, citing |
| newspaper clipping). |
| |
| 1976 - A couple driving their car in Kontich, Belgium at 9:15 p.m. |
| saw a dirigible-shaped UFO cross the road at a fairly low altitude. |
| It had red and white spotlights around its perimeter. At 11:40 p.m. |
| in Laroque Timbaut, France a three meter tall pinkish, ovoid object, |
| 1 meter in diameter, hung just above the ground. It then jumped at |
| distance of 200 meters almost instantaneously. (Sources: J. Delaire, |
| UFO Register, Volume 7 (1976), p. 31; Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case 11691). |
| |
| 1977 - Mr. Cyril John, age 64, a former local political leader, was |
| up early for an early start to London at 5:00 a.m. in Milford Haven, |
| Pembrokeshire, Wales when he noticed a light shining in his bedroom |
| window. Looking out he observed two objects. The first was a |
| silvery-gray egg-shaped object with a bright orange-red light on top |
| of it. It was about four feet across and was rocking gently in the |
| air about 60 meters away. The second was a seven to eight foot tall |
| humanoid figure, who floated in the air with arms out and legs bent |
| back, like a "free fall parachutist." There was only about 35 feet |
| between the man and the observer. No features could be seen on the |
| figure's face, and it wore a uniformly silver-gray "boiler suit." It |
| remained motionless in the air for more than 25 minutes. Then both |
| the being and the ovoid object began slowly moving off, gradually |
| disappearing from view in the distance. (Source: David F. Webb and |
| Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-17 |
| [A1719], citing Randall Jones Pugh, British UFO Research |
| Association). |
| |
| 1979 - Several cars experienced electrical system failures on highway |
| 33 in Bigand, Argentina at eight o'clock in the morning. Mr. Celotto, |
| a farmer, saw an eight meter wide disc land, and circular ground |
| traces were found later in a soybean field. (Source: MUFON UFO |
| Journal, November 1979, p. 12). |
| |
| 1982 - A mushroom cap shaped flying disc paced two people in a car in |
| Fort Wayne, Indiana. It had hazy lights and made odd maneuvers, not |
| jerky but always smoothly executed. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, citing APRO Bulletin, June 1982). |
| |
| 1994 - The witnesses were out in an isolated area of Victoria, |
| Argentina at 9:30 p.m. when they spotted a large white object |
| apparently on the ground about 200 meters away. The object suddenly |
| became brighter illuminating the nearby trees. A white line was now |
| visible on the object, and they now saw 3 small lights moving within |
| the object. The object grew in size, resembling a translucent bubble. |
| Inside they could see eight to ten figures standing in a group. |
| Seconds later a thick white fog enveloped the area. The object dimmed |
| and shot straight up at high speed. Ground traces were found. |
| (Source: Albert Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1994, case 3181, |
| citing Silvia P. Simondini). |
| |
| 2002 - A triangular formation of white lights was seen by a police |
| woman at 3:16 a.m. in Hellifield, near Skipton, England. The lights |
| travelled slowly through the sky in perfect unison, and then made a |
| banking maneuver before disappearing from view. (Source: UFO Magazine |
| (UK), July 2003, p. 11). |
