|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  August 16 |
| |
| 1897 - On this night at 12:40 a.m. a giant airship followed a train |
| as it rounded a bend in the tracks around Heron Bay, Ontario, Canada |
| and then flew off inland to the north >N inland. It had body lights |
| and light beams. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # |
| 208, citing Brad Steiger). |
| |
| 1947 - At 9:00 p.m. a globe of purplish light was seen in Timmins, |
| Ontario, causing a car to stall. (Sources: Jan Aldrich, Project 1947: |
| A Preliminary Report on the 1947 UFO Sighting Wave, p. 116; Michael |
| Persinger, Space-Time Transients and Unusual Events, p. 59). |
| |
| 1953 - Claude Pasquier saw two discs flying very low and quite slowly |
| along a straight course in Tours, France at 8:30 p.m. They made a |
| "hard" sound as they flew. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Anatomy of a Phenomenon, |
| p. 65; Melbourne Age, July 10, 1963; Passport to Magonia: A Century |
| of Landings, p. 203). |
| |
| 1955 - Mr. Ernest Suddard, age 35, and his 13-year-old son were |
| driving in a truck in Bradford, England at 4:00 in the morning when |
| they saw what seemed to be a short human being about 1.20 meters (4 |
| feet) tall, dressed in skin-tight black clothes. It held its arms |
| close to its sides, its feet close together, and walked by a series |
| of jumps. On its chest was a silver disc perforated with holes. It |
| turned off suddenly into a passageway and was lost from view. The |
| witnesses were too amazed to follow. (Sources: Jack Ibson, Flying |
| Saucer Review, September 1955, p. 4; Arthur Constance, The |
| Inexplicable Sky, p. 222; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, pp. 250-251; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A0378). |
| |
| 1958 - A dozen people were out on Leman Lake in Switzerland in |
| perfect weather at five o'clock in the afternoon when they saw a |
| bright light coming down toward the lake. They stopped their boat as |
| it came to hover about 15 meters above them. It was saucer-shaped, 10 |
| meters in diameter, and had a cabin with several windows showing on |
| top. The outer disc below the cabin was spinning. As it came down |
| toward the water, a noticeable current was created on the surface. No |
| noise or occupants were noticed. After several leaps in mid-air, the |
| craft flew off at "unbelievable" speed. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 469, citing Aime |
| Michel). |
| |
| 1960 - Eight geophysicists working in the Kazakstan Mountains near |
| the Barakhudzir River, 18 kilometers north of Koktal, Kazakstan, |
| U.S.S.R. saw a bright orange lens-shaped UFO at 11:00 p.m. The |
| strange luminous body suddenly appeared over the mountainns on the |
| east slope of the valley, moved north to south while keeping |
| a constant speed and altitude. It went behind the mountain top, then |
| re-appeared, flying off to the southeast. (Sources: Felix Zigel, |
| unpublished manuscript, p. 61; Jacques Vallee, UFO Chronicles of the |
| Soviet Union: A Cosmic Samizdat, p. 185; Ion Hobana & Julien |
| Weverbergh, UFOs from Behind the Iron Curtain, p. 284). |
| |
| 1960 - At 10:30 p.m. in Corning, California pilots and many other |
| witnesses observed two long red ovoids, followed by a V-shaped |
| boomerang. (Sources: Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 170; Paris |
| Flammonde, UFO Exist!, p. 366). |
| |
| 1961 - In Admiralty Bay, Antarctica four members of the crew of an |
| icebreaker sighted an oval fireball that flew from the northeast to |
| the southwest for 12 seconds at 6:15 p.m. The object split in two. |
| (Sources: Phenomenes Spatiaux, June 1968, p.17; UNICAT, case # 142, |
| citing James E. McDonald). |
| |
| 1965 - At midnight in Brough, Durham County, England three women |
| reported that their sheep and cattle were agitated and noisy when a |
| dark shape with two orange lights appeared in the sky. The close |
| encounter lasted 75 minutes. (Source: Gordon Creighton, FSR, |
| November-December 1970, p. 28). |
| |
| 1965 - A woman was driving home at 11:00 p.m. and was within a mile |
| of her house in Sedalia, Missouri when she saw a light in a field |
| with “smoke” around it. In a nearby ditch she noticed two large |
| “birds,” one of which flew at her car. She arrived home at 12:25 a.m. |
| unable to account for the lapse of time. Under hypnotic regression |
| she recalled that the “birds” in the ditch where in fact two entities |
| wearing spacesuits. One carried a sack on its back, into which the |
| other was putting clumps of grass and soil samples. They were |
| “bouncing up & down, their arms flopping at their sides” in a “stiff” |
| manner suggestive of robots. One started to come out of the ditch, |
| slipped back, then emerged and stood in front of her; its helmet |
| beginning to glow brilliantly. She could now see that its head was |
| wrapped up in tape like a mummy, with only the eyes visible. It stood |
| slightly over five feet tall. At this point a football-shaped |
| UFO landed on the road ahead of her car. Two beings with slightly |
| pointed heads & “wrap around” eyes emerged from the object and opened |
| her car door. They conducted her inside the craft, assuring her |
| telepathically that she would not be hurt. The air inside the UFO was |
| “heavy” and difficult to breathe. Once she was inside they flew the |
| ship over a nearby field, which caused its interior lights to change |
| from white to red. One of the entities, who did most of the |
| communicating, appeared to be a scientist or doctor, and he wore an |
| insignia of three rings on his chest. Another had a red lighting |
| flash symbol on his uniform, and she took him to be the pilot. A |
| third entity appeared to be a woman. All three stood 510” tall. The |
| “doctor” put an object of some kind over her head, and she felt as if |
| something were going into her brain. A round black object was then |
| taken out of the wall, and with it “pictures” were taken of her; the |
| object glowed blue when the pictures were taken. On a screen on the |
| wall appeared a pattern: seven vertical lines with markings between |
| them, which she thought must be some type of tabular representation |
| of her brain and body. Two more figures, about a foot shorter than |
| the other three, made their appearance. These beings resembled |
| “gnomes,” and they aroused fear in the woman. They appeared old |
| because their foreheads were wrinkled. She was told by the "doctor" |
| that they and the “mummies” came from different planets. Finally she |
| was led back to her car; the UFO ascended, and then vanished while |
| still at low altitude.  (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1965-78, citing Ron |
| Owen & Jerome Clark). |
| |
| 1967 - Pedro Jose Ramirez in Caracas, Venezuela reported seeing a |
| four-foot-tall being with an oversized head and large eyes, abnormal |
| teeth and mouth, and five fingers on his hands. The being was agile, |
| lightweight, hoarse-voiced, and wore a shiny suit. He spoke Spanish. |
| The entity told Ramirez that the Earth "was cracking and they wished |
| to save it." (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case # 1967-77 (A0851), citing Scheffer Vladimir |
| Scheffer, letter to NICAP dated August 22, 1967). |
| |
| 1967 - On the same day, in Antimano, Federal District, Venezuela |
| 10-year-old Jose Gregorio Bouaci was in his bedroom in the early |
| afternoon when he encountered a "little man" who tried to talk to |
| him. The being was short, white skinned, and had an over-sized head, |
| with no arms. The boy left his room screaming, saying that he had |
| seen a Martian. He was so frightened he threw up. (Source: David F. |
| Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # |
| 1967-78 (A0852), citing Richard Heiden). |
| |
| 1968 - At six o'clock in the morning a chicken farmer named Mateu saw |
| a light hovering three feet above the ground in Sierra De Almos |
| Tivissa, Terragona, Spain and he walked towards it. It was a very |
| luminous hemispherical object. On the far side of it he saw about 100 |
| yards away and hurrying toward it, two creatures resembling octopus, |
| about 3 feet high, with "4 or 5 legs," very light in color with a |
| "thoroughly disgusting" appearance. The UFO left a large area of |
| burnt grass, and "watches stopped 3 times at the site." (Sources: |
| Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in |
| Spain and Portugal, case 64; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-57, citing Julio Roca |
| Muntanola, FSR Special Bulletin # 4). |
| |
| 1968 - For a three hour period beginning at around 11:00 p.m., |
| numerous witnesses in Hamilton, Ohio watched as a domed disc-shaped |
| object moved over a dam, stopped, flipped over, then emitted five |
| light beams downward, focusing into a single beam that swept the area |
| and reflected over Greenbriar Lake. The object reversed course, and |
| finally flew away toward the south. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, |
| October 1968, p. 3, Gordon Lore, UFOs: A New Look, p. 43; Richard H. |
| Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II:  A Thirty-Year Report, p. 380; |
| Francis L. Ridge, Regional Encounters, p. 35).  |

| |
| 1970 - At 12:30 a.m. the Hidalgo family of four, driving in a car |
| between Aznalcazar and Pila, Sevilla province, Spain encountered a |
| white foggy object hovering two meters over a field by the side of |
| the road. The object flew away as they approached, and their car |
| headlights became dim as it did so. The object repeated this retreat |
| a few more times as the car kept approaching, then it rose into |
| the sky and flew away. (Sources: Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, |
| Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in Spain and Portugal, case 133; |
| Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 49). |
| |
| 1970 - Thirty minutes later, a 22-year-old woman in Puente De |
| Herrera, Valladolid province, Spain heard a loud whistling sound |
| accompanied by TV interference at one o'clock in the morning. Opening |
| the door to her house she saw a silvery Saturn-shaped object standing |
| on legs. On top was a transparent cupola bearing a bluish-white |
| rotating light; and around its perimeter were other multi-colored |
| lights. A few feet away stood a tall man dressed in a dark blue or |
| black tight-fitting uniform. It had a close fitting hood of the same |
| color with shining white wrist bands, anklets, and a buckle. The man |
| was examining a nearby field of alfalfa. He then turned and took long |
| strides toward the UFO, which was approximately 30 meters from the |
| witness. She closed her door, frightened about being discovered, but |
| heard the intense whistling sound again as the object took off. |
| Footprints were found in the area, and for several nights the site |
| where the UFO had landed glowed at night. (Sources: J. Macias, FSR |
| Case Histories, February 1974, p. 1; David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, citing Enrique Bueno, |
| Santiango Mella, & J. Macias of The Charles Fort Group; Vicente-Juan |
| Ballester Olmos, A Catalogue of 200 Type-1 Events in Spain and |
| Portugal, case #134; UNICAT, case # 506, citing Stendek, 1972, vol. |
| 3). |
| |
| 1970 - At 4:45 p.m. a hemispherical metallic object landed near a car |
| in Puits-d'Edme, Yonne, France. The car engine and lights both |
| failed. The car operated normally again after the object flew away. |
| (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, |
| p. 49). |
| |
| 1971 - Jan-Ove Sundberg was in the woods above Foyers Bay on Loch |
| Ness, Scotland at around nine a.m. when he saw a grayish-black |
| cigar-shaped object in a clearing in the woods. It was about 30 feet |
| long with a curved standing portion at one end, so that it had the |
| profile of a huge smoothing iron. Three grayish entities of normal |
| human size then appeared out of some nearby bushes and stood |
| together. They were dressed in what looked like diver's suits and |
| helmets. They approached the object and entered it by a door in the |
| upper part of the curved portion, the UFO then rose vertically to a |
| height of 50 feet and then took off rapidly in a near-horizontal |
| trajectory. Sundberg took a photograph as the last of the occupants |
| was boarding. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, 1971-21, citing F. W. Holiday, FSR, |
| Vol. 19 # 5). |
| |
| 1971 - At nearly the same time as the Loch Ness CE-3 encounter, three |
| adults and four children were in an isolated area on a Mediterranean |
| beach in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain when they suddenly noticed a |
| very tall figure that seemed to be trying to enter the water in a |
| very clumsy manner. It was a very tall, well-built, and human like, |
| but with very pale skin that seemed to lack any pores. It had a large |
| hairless head with a high forehead and large gray colored eyes. It |
| wore a pair of green shorts and it walked towards the shore very |
| stiffly, almost like a robot. It walked past the witnesses |
| maintaining a straight steady gaze on them. The witnesses turned |
| their heads for a second and when they looked back the being had |
| completely vanished. There was nowhere he could have gone and he was |
| nowhere in sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database, case # 643, citing J. J. Benitez, La Quinta Columna). |
| |
| 1971 - At 6:45 p.m. John R. Renz had just been relieved from guard |
| duty at Francis E. Warren Air Force base near Cheyenne, Wyoming and |
| had stopped at the mess hall for a beer. On his way back to the |
| barracks he came upon an unlit area of the base at the concrete |
| reinforced bridge, which crossed over Cow Creek. For some reason |
| everything was unnaturally quiet around him. As he began to cross the |
| bridge and just before he got to the middle of it, a paralyzing sound |
| resembling loud heart beats became evident. Simultaneously the area |
| around the bridge lit up like midday. There was also a heavy |
| breathing sound present, and the bridge began to sway in a wave-like |
| motion and then settled down. Frightened, he began to run toward the |
| other end of the bridge, but before he reached it he realized that he |
| had dropped his tobacco pipe and went back to retrieve it. The bridge |
| was still lit up and the loud sounds persisted. He found his pipe and |
| stooped down to get it. When he looked up he was stunned to see a six |
| to seven foot tall being standing there, only three feet away from |
| him. The being had a medium build as far as the torso, but its head |
| was much larger than normal and it had long arms. It appeared to be |
| wearing a wet suit. The hood and body suit were one unit. The eyes |
| were covered with a one-piece face mask that went across both eyes, |
| as if it was some kind of blast shield, but the nasal area joined in |
| with it. From the nose there was a silver gray tube that stretched at |
| least a half a foot long and went straight into the chest area. The |
| silver gray tube was ribbed and looked like a tracheal tube. The |
| hands consisted of three long fingers that ended in claws. The feet |
| were three toed and did not appear to have any heels. When Renz |
| looked up to the being's face, he was almost in a full standing |
| position. The being raised its right, three-fingered hand and |
| motioned for him to come closer. Instead, Renz turned and ran. His |
| next recollection was of coming up on a military jeep and being |
| picked up by two soldiers, still on the base. There was a seven-hour |
| period of missing time. |
| |
| Years later, under hypnosis, Renz remembered being inside some kind |
| of object in a cockpit along with the being. The being spoke to him |
| telepathically. He remembered descending through clouds of vapor that |
| had a reddish brown tinge. The craft then flew in between two huge |
| mountains: there was no vegetation anywhere and it looked like a |
| rocky desert. He next remembered following the being through a huge |
| door into the side of a mountain tunnel and entering a small room. In |
| this room there was a table that floated in mid-air. The walls and |
| floor of the room were a silver-gray color. On the floating table |
| there was the carcass of a creature. The creature on the table had a |
| larger than normal head and a face resembling that of a wasp. The |
| eyes were large, like wasp eyes, and had slits inside that looked |
| like pupils. It had what looked like multi-lens eye coverings, and it |
| had a small jaw and a slit-like nose. The creature was about four to |
| five feet in length and looked to have an exoskeleton. Its color was |
| tan to brown with a bluish gray tinge. The humanoid creature gave off |
| an unbearably foul odor, resembling a rotten egg sulphur smell. It |
| had three fingers on its hands and at the elbows there was a sharp |
| concave shaped spike at least six inches long. The mouth was gaped |
| open and the teeth were like small shark teeth. A clear liquid with a |
| reddish substance was dripped on the table. |
| |
| The tall being then told the witness to leave the room. Outside the |
| room he saw a saucer-shaped craft with a wide front end and a round |
| tapered tail. The whole craft sat on two pillars, rectangular in |
| shape with at least 50 feet between them. The being told him to go |
| inside and sit in the left seat. On what appeared to be a control |
| panel Renz saw numerous strange symbols. There was a sound like a |
| powerful electric motor and the craft took off. Later he recalled the |
| craft attacking a large mountainous area resembling a beehive. He |
| could see numerous creatures inside. They appeared to be scrambling |
| back and forth. There were a couple of hundred of them and they |
| appeared to be the same as the insectoid humanoid that was on the |
| floating table. The craft landed in the destroyed complex where he |
| remembered seeing a live creature with the face of a wasp that was |
| wearing a dark cape or cloak. Within its cloak it was carrying three |
| small insect creatures at least a foot long. Their heads were |
| triangular in shape with large eyes. The tall humanoid shot and |
| killed the creature and the little ones. Renz was then taken back to |
| the Air Force base. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1971, citing Aliens-UFOs.com). |
| |
| 1972 - On a highway west of Arroyito, Cordoba province, Argentina, an |
| odd light appeared above a car containing two college |
| professors, Professors Brunelli and Porchietto, at 2:40 a.m. Their |
| car was then levitated, and this was followed by 40 minutes of |
| missing time, with 80 kilometers of their trip not accounted for. |
| (Source: Oscar A. Galindez, Phenomenes Spatiaux, March 1973, p. 23). |
| |
| 1972 - On this evening in Roosboom, Natal, South Africa Elias Khosa |
| saw a "monster" when he was walking home. The creature had a |
| square-shaped head, "like a machine", luminous buttons, and fiery |
| eyes. "The specter faced him, but he could not see its head, although |
| he noticed small flames burning around its feet." The witness invited |
| the "visitor" home for a drink, but it turned and sped off into the |
| veldt at high speed, "emitting flames and smoke." He later had |
| headaches and pains in his legs. (Sources:Natal Mercury, August 23, |
| 1972; Philipp J. Human, FSR, November 1972, p. 18; David F. Webb and |
| Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, 1972-18 (A1161); |
| J. Bernard Delair, UFO Register, volume 9 (1978)). |
| |
| 1973 - At four a.m. young Cinzia Giomi and 10 other people were |
| returning from a show onboard a small passenger bus, when between |
| Casalincontrada and Chieti, Italy they saw a bizarre figure almost |
| six meters tall, leaning against a light pole. The being was human |
| looking but very tall and thin. It wore a shiny white smock-like |
| outfit and wore tall white boots. It had long white hair and a dark |
| complexion. The witnesses were able to see the figure close up, at a |
| distance of only two meters. The bus stopped in order for the |
| witnesses to get a better look, but the figure quickly faded away, |
| leaving behind a strong sulfur like odor and a consistent |
| whistle-like sound. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1973, citing Fabio Picasso & Moreno Tambellini). |
| |
| 1973 - At 10:15 p.m. an abduction experience with missing time |
| occurred in the city of Smalandsstenar, Jonkoping, Sweden to a man |
| named Karlsson. (Source: UFO Information Sweden, November 1973, |
| p. 20). |
| |
| 1974 - At 3:40 a.m. several observers saw a huge hovering |
| cigar-shaped craft over Malesherbes, France. Next, two small domed |
| disc-shaped objects were seen descending towards the ground. A short |
| time later the witnesses reported seeing strange figures and hearing |
| loud noises in the area near their location. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1974, case # 2413, citing |
| Michel Figeut & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le Premier Dossier Complet |
| des Rencontres Rapprochees en France). |
| |
| 1974 - Shortly after 7:30 p.m. three boys, ages 9 and 10, in Port |
| Coquitlam, British Columbia saw a buzzing, multi-colored disc-shaped |
| object land. It approached very suddenly from the sky and made an |
| undulating motion as it came in to land. It landed with a blast of |
| hot air, and gave off blue sparks during the process. An animal |
| reaction was noted: their cat was frightened and ran away. The UFO |
| had the outline of a door, and stood on three legs; it had a square |
| at the top, and was 20 feet wide. Circular patches were found on the |
| ground at the landing site. The entire close encounter lasted ten |
| minutes. (Sources: Alan Landsburg, In Search of Extraterrestrials, p. |
| 6; Coral & Jim Lorenzen, Encounters with UFO Occupants, p. 34; |
| UNICAT, case # 480, citing Graham Conway, MUFON UFO Journal, April |
| 1986). |
| |
| 1975 - At 3:30 a.m. between Rochdale and Ramsbottom in Greater |
| Manchester, England a nocturnal light followed a flying triangular |
| shaped object to the east. The objects hovered, then flew off to the |
| south. There were at least seven witnesses, including police. |
| (Sources: Awareness, January 1976, p. 23; UNICAT, case # 93). |
| |
| 1975 - At 4:30 a.m. Mr. & Mrs. Paquet were walking on the outskirts |
| of their village of Forrieres, Luxembourg Province, Belgium on their |
| way to work when they noticed ahead of them on the road a dark 1.20 |
| meter tall human-like figure with a well-proportioned body. It |
| suddenly vanished in plain sight when the man, thinking it might be |
| his son, attempted to approach it. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, Case # A1623; |
| Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 152 (December 1975)). |
| |
| 1976 - At around four o'clock in the morning Dean Anderson and Wayne |
| Schutte were working on golf course maintenance when they both |
| noticed an orange “craft” as it dropped down into a culvert on the |
| golf course at Peninsula State Park in Egg Harbor, Door County, |
| Wisconsin. Anderson, who was riding a lawn mower, saw by its powerful |
| headlights a figure first standing, and then running on the golf |
| course, so he pursued him on his riding mower. He saw that the mans |
| helmet lit up and his belt first start glowing reddish, but |
| then glowed green, yellow, pink, and orange, while the antenna on his |
| helmet flashed bright red. Anderson had now closed to within ten feet |
| of him, and could see that he was about seven feet tall and had a |
| long nose. Suddenly, an energy beam shot down in front of the mower, |
| causing it to stop, and the figure next turned around and looked at |
| Anderson. Within a few seconds a small “scout ship” descended and |
| opened a 3 foot by 3 foot door, which had flashing panels of light |
| inside. The tall figure floated up into this doorway, and “the craft |
| glowed bright blue, red, and orange and then took off.” The |
| footprints of the man were measured to be 20 inches long, 8 inches |
| wide, and five feet apart where he had been running. (Sources: Keta |

| |
| 1976 - On this night on Denslow Hill, Hamden, Connecticut two |
| 14-year-old teenagers, Grey and Barnett, saw two very short humanoid |
| beings shuffling rapidly across the road. They wore purple-colored, |
| luminous, one-piece suits and their waists were only 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 the boys. (Source: UFOCAT, James P. Barrett case |

| |
| 1977 - At 12:30 a.m. in Fage, Lot department, France a one-meter |
| tall, upright metallic ovoid object closely pursued a teenage |
| driver at a very low altitude as he drove along a winding mountain |
| road. The UFO caused EM effects on the car's engine and lights. It |
| flew away toward to southeast. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| November 1980). |
| |
| 1979 - A 40-year-old farmer and four others in Providence, Kentucky |
| reported observing a silver disc-shaped object with a bubble top |
| tumbling and turning at an estimated 2,000 feet altitude at 4:30 p.m. |
| If flew around for six minutes before going over some hills to the |
| west. (Source: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, December |

| 1980 - Frank Scott and another soldier were ordered to go by jeep, to |
| a location outside of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia where a UFO had |
| recently been seen. They arrived there at around two o'clock in the |
| afternoon, and observed a long cylindrical craft hovering close to |
| the ground. The object was at least 170 meters long, and broad as |
| well, and it emitted a buzzing sound that made the air vibrate. The |
| craft was also emitting a beam of light towards the ground, and |
| within the beam they could see a small humanoid being descending to |
| the ground. The humanoid descended to the ground alone. Both men |
| remained in the jeep, armed with their side arms, and watching the |
| spectacle. Their weapons suddenly became disabled, as if welded |
| together. Then there was a terrible noise, and Scott lost |
| consciousness. He awoke much later in his base infirmary, not knowing |
| how he had gotten there. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1980, citing personal testimony by Frank Scott |
| to Overmeire). |

| 1997 - At 5:20 a.m. a luminous rectangular craft was seen by two |
| witnesses near the shore in the town of Cullera, Valencia province, |
| Spain. It had two sections, was coverd with lights, and hovered for |
| 50 minutes. It flew off to the south-southeast. (Source: Lumieres |
| dans la Nuit, issue 345, September 1997). |
| |
| 1999 - At 2:20 p.m. three independent witnesses in Berks County, |
| Pennsylvania observed a silver, double convex saucer as it flew over |
| toward the south. At 5:45 p.m. it was seen again, this time flying |
| north in Butler County, Pennsylvania. A married couple described it |
| as a dull-gray metallic disc, like two quarters on edge. It was first |
| seen flying in the west at high altitude, and then made a sharp 90 |
| degree turn to the north. (Sources: Joseph Trainor, UFO Roundup, |
| volume 4, number 18; UFO Magazine (USA), November 1999, p. 28). |
| |
| 2001 - Videotoape. A good-sized flying triangle with several white |
| lights was sighted and videotaped at about 10:00 p.m. in Floriston, |
| California. It had a bright red strobing light as well as the several |
| white lights, and was the size of a Boeing 727. It flew over the |
| mountain range to the northeast, stopped, turned off all lights for a |
| few seconds, then lit up again and came straight back overhead |
| without making a banking turn. It made no noise, even though it was |
| close. The videotape is about 30 seconds long. (Source: George A. |

| |
| 2004 - While out photographing a meteor shower at 1:30 a.m. two men, |
| Mike and Lance, both 23, sighted three triangles flying in a circle |
| over Palmdale, California, spinning at fantastic speeds, that then |
| stopped and disappeared. During the sighting Mike called his |
| girlfriend on his cell phone, and while talking the cell phone died. |
| Then the digital camera they had, which had been fully charged, died |
| and would not work, with the message "battery dead". Yet when they |
| got home both the phone and the camera worked, and when the camera |
| was placed in its charger the message "full charge" appeared. The |
| triangle craft were estimated to be flying at 20,000 feet, and were |
| the apparent size of a quarter at arm's length. The triangles had a |
| semi-spherical shape to them, and both men saw high definition shapes |
| in the crafts' bodies. (Source: George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, |

| 2007 - A single light was witnessed making 90 degree turns, starting |
| and stopping instantly without acceleration, over Reading, California |
