| |
| 1947 - According to files released by the FBI through FOIA requests |
| in the 1970s, at 10:40 a.m. at least two crescent-shaped objects |
| zig-zagged past a military aircraft twice while the plane was flying |
| near Guam over the Pacific Ocean. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, December |
| 1977; NICAP UFO Investigator, February 1978, p. 4) |
| |
| 1947 - At around nine o'clock in the morning R. L. Johannis of Raveo, |
| Italy saw a 10 meter wide, red domed, disc-shaped object with an |
| antenna on top, on the ground across an ice field. There were two |
| dwarfs less than three feet tall near the craft, wearing dark blue |
| coveralls with red collars and belts. They had oversized heads and |
| greenish toned faces. Their eyes were huge, without eyelashes or |
| eyebrows but surrounded by some kind of ring-like muscle. The beings |
| had greenish hands with eight talon-like fingers. They wore something |
| similar to crash helmets. When he waved his ice axe at them in a |
| friendly gesture, one of the beings discharged a thin puff of smoke |
| or "vapor" at him which knocked him down, and the witness started to |
| suffocate, feeling at the same time a strong electrical |
| discharge. (Sources: Solas Boncompagni, UFO in Italia, Volume I, |

| January-February 1967, p. 3; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, p. 192). |
| |
| 1951 - At around one o'clock in the afternoon, a six-meter in |
| diameter, metallic saucer with legs landed on a farm in Voghenza, |
| Italy. Six four-foot tall humanoids climbed down ladders, then |
| gestured to each other. They later got back aboard and took off, |
| flying off toward the northeast. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case # 1951, citing Maurizio Verga, ITACAT, CISU website). |
| |
| 1952 - At around noon, inflight over Rockhampton, Queensland, |
| Australia an RAAF Vampire fighter pilot encountered a large circular |
| light, from which 6-10 small lights emerged and surrounded the larger |
| object. The sighting lasted five minutes. (Sources: Bill Chalker, The |
| Oz Files, p. 50; Richard F. Haines, Project Delta: A Study of |
| Multiple UFO, p. 175; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, |

| creature with large claws. It pulled her under the water twice, and |
| she was left with scratches and brushes. A shiny round object was |
| seen in the sky across the river a few minutes later. (Sources: |

| buzzed a Varig Airlines C-47 flying near Joinville, Santa Catarina |
| province, Brazil. It caused temporary disruption of the performance |
| of the engines and the electrical system. The reception of the |
| airplane's radio was suddenly interrupted when the red disc |
| approached the plane, while the cabin lights also dimmed. (Sources: |

| 1957 - In Preston, Waterloo county, Ontario at 10:30 p.m. a bright |
| fiery, circular object followed two teenage girls. During the next |
| five minutes it first moved away and then came back again. The women |

| 1965 - On this day on the banks of the river in Cruzeiro, Santa |
| Catarina province, Brazil, a little man only 28" tall, introduced |
| himself to a fisherman named Joao do Rio as a UFOnaut. He had large |
| luminous eyes, and spoke perfect Portuguese. He gave Sr. do Rio an |
| "unearthly" metal. The metal was given to the national railroad car |
| factory for analysis. At 8:00 p.m. that same evening a motorist had a |
| close encounter with a black, 90-meter-wide domed disc, which hovered |
| silently over a highway southwest of Itabira, Minas Gerais province, |
| Brazil. The craft hovered just 1.2 meters above the surface of the |
| road, and it followed the contours of the terrain when it departed. |

| Creatures From Time and Space, p. 151; (2) Irene Granchi, UFO |

| 1965 - At around 10:00 p.m. two youngsters, Marc & Luc Lafreniere, |
| were in their home in Ville Lemoyne, Quebec, Canada when a strong |
| light attracted them to the window. Looking outside they saw a large |
| oval-shaped craft floating just above the ground. A tall humanoid |
| figure with long dangling arms, and wearing a silvery jumpsuit, stood |
| in front of the craft. The being walked towards the house and touched |
| the front door briefly, and then returned to the craft, while the |
| terrified witnesses hid in their room. They did not dare look to see |
| the craft or the alien depart. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1965 |
| Humanoid Contact Database, citing Marc Leduc, CASUFO). |
| 1965 - At 11:00 p.m. five people driving in a car in Salto, Uruguay |
| heard a loud hum and saw a UFO land directly in front of their car, |
| causing the engine to stall. Its brilliant white luminescence changed |
| colors from red to yellow and green. The object itself, a leaden |
| metallic color, stood nine feet high and was as wide as the road. |
| Three beings inside the craft, who looked human, were illuminated by |
| an interior green light and could be seen moving around inside the |
| craft. Finally, with a burst of orange flame, the object rose |
| vertically into the sky and vanished. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted |

| located a man dressed in black, he had was no apparent connection |
| with the encounters. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |

| rose into the sky, while the other dropped down into the sea. |

| |
| 1999 - At 11:30 p.m. Sr. Attilio B. of Bassano del Grappa, Italy had |
| gone out to the field next to his home in order to relieve himself |
| when he noticed some nearby multicolored lights coming from a field |
| behind him. Investigating more closely, he saw a very large circular |
| object hovering about two meters off the ground. The craft was |
| somewhat turtle shaped, and was about 30 meters in diameter. The top |
| part of the object was completely transparent, so much so that it |
| appeared almost "invisible". The lower part consisted of a green |
| platform that had a hollow central section, like a donut. He could |
| not see any instruments inside the craft, but he could see five |
| occupants inside a well-lit white dome. He described them as short in |
| stature, about 80 cm tall, with large heads. According to the |
| witness, their heads somewhat resembled those of donkeys, because |
| they had extremely long faces and their heads were covered with short |
| black, curly hair. They had large round black eyes about 5 cm in |
| diameter that were very close together. Their noses were large and |
| "potato" like. Their mouths were large and wide, resembling those of |
| a monkey, with large meaty lips. On each side of their heads were two |
| large pointy ears, like those of a wolf. Their skin was light brown |
| in color and their hands had six digits. As the witness watched, one |
| of the humanoids made a gesture, which he interpreted as a salute. |
| The humanoids wore tight-fitting yellow outfits that went up to their |
| short necks. Their footgear resembled pointy sandals, similar to |
| those worn by "Gondoliers." He continued his observation, feeling a |
| sense of "joy and tranquility." He believed that the humanoids were |
| gentle and kind. One of the humanoids seemed to be counting some |
| yellow paper-like objects resembling banknotes. The whole incident |
| unfolded in complete silence. After about a minute and a half, the |
| object lifted up vertically, disappearing from the area at very high |
| speed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1999 Humanoid Reports database, |
| citing Antonio Chiumiento). |
| |
| 2001 - Starting at 10:45 p.m. and for the next 15 minutes, twelve |
| white objects were seen performing maneuvers over Strathroy, Ontario, |
| Canada. They were first seen in a triangle, which then formed into a |
| circle, and they performed aerial aerobatics for the next several |
| minutes. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2001 Canadian UFO Survey Report, |
| case # 235, citing National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). |
| |
| 2007 - Orange "V" shaped lights flew overhead in Oklahoma City, |
| Oklahoma without making a sound at around 1 a.m. (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, August 2007 |
| webpage, report uploaded August 14, 2007). |
| |
| 2009 - A huge triangle-shaped object with spectacular lights was seen |
| zooming from the horizon in Chebanse, Iroquis County, Illinois at |
| around 10 p.m. According to the witness, it was at a low |
| altitude,"just about 12 feet above the ground," and came as close as |
| 500 feet away. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle, August 2009 webpage, report uploaded August 27, |
| 2009). |
