| man-like figure over two meters (6.6 feet) in height, that appeared |
| to have no hair or ears, and with a large mouth and teeth. The being |
| wore a tight fitting dull black outfit and had very long dangling |
| arms. The being's eyes also shone with a brilliant light. The stunned |
| witness could not move and watched the strange figure move away |
| backwards without taking his gaze off her. Emilia thought she could |
| hear a muffled laugh coming from the figure. (Source: Albert S. |

| 1974 - On this night at Navegantes Beach, Santa Catarina State, |
| Brazil Antonio De Azevedo, an angler, was on the beach with his wife |
| when they saw a discoid object with multicolored lights land close |
| beside them. It was shaped like "two plates with the rims stuck |
| together." The vivid lights temporarily paralyzed the observers. From |
| the object emerged three "strange short beings wearing greenish |
| spacesuits". Their faces "seemed to reflect the green color of their |
| clothes." Conversing in a strange language, they quickly "examined" |
| the angler and his wife, then seized his wife and abducted her, |
| taking her into the object, which took off at incredible speed. |

| |
| 1977 - At shortly after midnight two college students, Rocco Cerullo, |
| and Michael Giovanelli, were walking from Sturno, Italy to Frigento |
| when they saw three red lights symmetrically arranged in the midst of |
| some bushes overlooking the road, They also heard an intermittent |
| "beep-beep" sound. Continuing on, near a quarry a mile from Sturno, |
| they saw a figure over two meters tall that was wearing a silver, |
| tight-fitting suit and helmet. Where the man's eyes should be there |
| were two blinking orange lights. The witnesses fled back to Sturno |
| where they found three friends, and all five returned by car. The |
| group saw the strange being advancing and retreating with mechanical |
| movements on a steep slope. He appeared to stand at an angle |
| perpendicular to the slope. Some rocks were disturbed and rolled down |
| the slope. The abandoned quarry appeared to be illuminated as if by a |
| halo, and they became frightened and went back to Sturno, returning |
| this time with two more witnesses. The tall humanoid was still there |
| with emissions of intermittent light from its helmet. When one of |
| them flashed a light at the figure, it emitted radio-like sounds. |
| When it approached the car and the sounds ceased. It came as close as |
| 15 feet, and beckoned, as though wanting the witnesses to follow. |
| Finally, at about 12:30 a.m. it emitted a blinding light from its |
| helmet and disappeared. The outline of an object with portholes had |
| been seen further down the slope. After the flash the group fled back |
| to the village. They returned again later that morning, and |
| everything was gone. Trampled bushes were in evidence, and what |
| looked like landing gear imprints were found in the quarry with three |
| holes arranged in an isosceles triangle. (Sources: David F. Webb & |
| Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-48 |
| (A1756), citing Francesco Izzo; Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 201; |
| Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 12315, citing ITACAT; Fred |
| Merritt, Leg-Mark Catalog). |
| 1977 - In Mediania Alta Loiza, Puerto Rico at 8 p.m. two witnesses |
| were sitting and chatting at the steps of their home when they |
| suddenly noticed a disc-shaped craft flying above a nearby palm |
| grove. The craft stopped to hover. It had a large white light on the |
| bottom and a green and a blue flashing light, plus several brightly |
| lit windows could be seen on its side. The object then shut off its |
| lights and vanished. Later that night a woman had gone out in his |
| yard to empty some cooking waste when she saw four little men wearing |
| silvery outfits standing by a water faucet. They seemed to have short |
| antennae like protrusions from their heads, large pointy ears, and |
| were bald headed. They had small mouths and their necks were long and |
| thin. They all had their arms crossed in front of their chest. The |
| woman screamed and ran back inside her house to alert the others, but |
| the little men had already gone when they came out. (Source: Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1977, case # 267, citing Robiou |
| Lamarche, Manifesto OVNI en Puerto Rico Santo Domingo Y Cuba). |

| 1978 - Two men, Srs. De Cesare and Martin, were driving in a truck at |
| two o'clock at night between San Juan and San Luis on Highway 147 in |
| Argentina when they were circled closely by a group of UFOs. Their |
| truck's engine stopped and they got out, throwing themselves to the |
| ground and hiding among the roadside vegetation. The truck battery |
| was totally discharged and the truck could not be restarted. At dawn |
| dead goats and birds were found at the site. (Source: Jane Thomas, |
| UFO Newsclipping Service, December 1978, p. 15, citing Cronica, |
| October 1, 1978). |
| |
| 1978 - A unexplained cattle death and mutilation was discovered this |
| morning five miles northeast of Mancos, Montezuma County, Colorado on |
| the Bartel Ranch. A calf had been killed and mutilated. Its left eye, |
| tongue, rectum, and sexual organs had been removed with surgical |
| incisions. (Source: Richard Hall, Zetetic Scholar, p. 50, case 42, |
| citing the Durango Herald, September 1, 1978). |
| |
| 1978 - A woman was sitting in her office on the tenth floor of an |
| office building in London, England on the south bank of the Thames |
| River at 7:00 p.m. when she glanced out a window and noticed an |
| object moving at rooftop level. It was bright silver in color and was |
| shaped like an elongated parachute. At the bottom was a man |
| protruding from its tip. The parachute or cone-shaped object moved |
| horizontally, then stopped briefly above a building. It finally went |
| behind the National Theater and was not seen again. (Source: Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, case # 999, citing P. |
| Hardman, BUFORA Journal, Volume 8, No. 4). |
| |
| 1978 - At 9:50 p.m. two small lights descended from a hovering |
| "silo-shaped" craft in Necochea, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. |
| Their luminosity increased and decreased. After the two small lights |
| emerged from the larger object and reached at point in the sky over a |
| shed containing cars and machinery, and they just hung in the air for |
| awhile. (Source: Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, October 1978, |
| p. 15, citing Cronica, September 8, 1978). |
| |
| 1980 - A witness named Lister reported seeing a disc-shaped object |
| making a humming noise between Ashbourne and Derby, England at 12:20 |
| a.m. According to the report it maneuvered in the sky, and there were |
| other independent witnesses. (Sources: UFO Newsclipping Service, |
| March 1981, p. 12; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 13525, |
| citing FSR). |
| |
| 1985 - A UFO, shape unknown, rose from the ground near US Highway 95 |
| in Laughlin, Nevada at 10:00 p.m. It directed beams of light on cars |
| and a house, and radio interference was reported. (Source: Robert |
| Gribble, UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, case 1028). |
| |
| 1987 - At 10:55 p.m. a dark, domed disc-shaped UFO with a mast or |
| antenna on top came down quickly over the high security Bangor |
| submarine base housing, home of the Trident nuclear ballistic |
| submarine fleet in Bangor, Washington and hovered over a playground. |
| Two boys who were sons of military personnel, ages 8 and 10, were |
| sitting on the swings and saw an occupant with a big head, big |
| pointed "cat" ears, wrinkled skin, and a greenish complexion in an |
| open hatch. It had a thin, spindly body, long webbed fingers and |
| toes, and tabs or suction cups on the ends of the fingers and toes. |
| It also had a wrinkled mouth "like an old grandma's." The boys |
| estimated the being to be about six feet tall. It pointed a device |
| that directed a beam of energy at the two boys on the swings, causing |
| the levitation of the metal swings. The boys fled quickly into the |
| home of one of them and got his mother, who saw a row of lights in |
| the sky as the UFO took off and flew away. Mrs. Springsteen, the |
| mother of one of the boys, then had the boys draw separate sketches |
| of both the UFO and the alien, which were remarkably similar. |

| |
| 1989 - At 9:00 p.m. EDT a mushroom-shaped UFO with a light hovered |
| over a field in Butler, Pennsylvania. Two smaller objects with red |
| lights emerged from it. Finally, all UFOs shot away at high speed. |
| U.S. Air Force jets arrived one hour later. (Source: Richard Hall, |

| |
| 1990 - At 2:00 a.m. Luis Javier Mango was on his way to his |
| girlfriend's house in Barrio Supe, Berisso, Buenos Aires Province, |
| Argentina riding on a friend's motorcycle, when he spotted about 100 |
| yards ahead of him two short figures that quickly crossed from the |
| road ahead of him. Both were about one meter tall, wearing what |
| appeared to be black hooded smocks tight around the waist, and maybe |
| an unseen belt. He could not make out any facial features, arms, or |
| legs. One figure followed the other, and both quickly disappeared |
| from sight. Further inquires revealed additional witnesses, and the |
| possibility of four to five additional humanoids of similar |
| appearance that floated just above the ground. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, 1990 Humanoid Sighting Reports Database, citing Proyecto |
| CATENT). |
| |
| 1990 - At 3:00 a.m. five small gray-colored humanoids, with large |
| heads and huge bright eyes, walked in front of parked cars in Lake |
| Cartagena, Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, and then down a road. They had |
| large pointed ears, with three toes on each foot and three fingers on |
| each hand. Ten carloads of witnesses reportedly observed the five |
| humanoids walking down the dirt road, heading in the direction of the |
| Laguna Cartagena. One of the witnesses, Miguel Figueroa, pursued the |
| beings in his car, but as he approached them, their eyes 'lit up", |
| and he was somehow prevented from getting any closer. When the light |
| dissipated, Figueroa again gave chase, and managed to get a better |
| look. He described the figures as skinny and gray, varying between |
| three and four feet in height, with pear-shaped heads, large slanted |
| eyes, long pointed ears, long arms, with three fingers on each hand |
| and three toes on their feet. The beings got away by running down a |
| ravine. The following day, there were reports of discs flying out |
| over the Laguna Cartagena. Small footprints were found in the area. |

| |
| 1990 - In the Sukhaya Valley, Grodnensk region of Belarus a round UFO |
| with a golden stripe around its circumference appeared in the sky on |
| this night, and then landed in a field. Three humanoids wearing |
| tight-fitting coveralls were briefly seen standing near the object. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1990 Humanoid Sighting Reports Database, |
| citing "NLO", 1990, issue # 1). |
| |
| 1994 - At 9:30 p.m. six men around a campfire during a hunting trip |
| in the woods near Mongo, Indiana saw a UFO behind some treetops. The |
| domed disc-shaped object moved swiftly to a clearing, hovered for |
| about 30 seconds, and quickly vanished from sight. They were able to |
| take some photographs, which show an overexposure of a domed |
| disc-shaped craft. (Sources: Francis L. Ridge, MUFON field |
| investigation files, case 960103C; Michael David Hall, UFOs: A |
| Century of Sightings, p. 331). |

| then sped off toward the northwest NW leaving a vapor trail. (Source: |
| UFO Newsclipping Service, January 1996). |
| |
| 2002 - A couple, Sergey and Natasha, saw a light appear in window of |
| their kitchen in Kearny, New Jersey at 11:30 p.m. The light came from |
| a brightly lit, disc-shaped object that was flying in the sky. It |
| came out from behind a tree and crossed the part of the sky visible |
| from their window. It was estimated to be larger than apassenger jet, |
| moving west or norhwest and was moving fast. They observed it for |
| 10-15 seconds. (Source: George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's |
| Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, p. 21, citing Patrick |
| Huyghe). |
| |
| 2003 - At 10:30 p.m. a white flying ball of light, too large to be a |
| plane or satellite, flew in a zigzag pattern, disappeared and |
| re-appeared in the sky over Ryan, Iowa. It made no sound, and was |
| visible for about 5-10 seconds. (Source: Peter Davenport, National |
| UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, August 2002 webpage). |
| |
| 2003 - At 10:44 p.m. PDT a disc-shaped object was seen circling in |
| the sky over one spot, flashing red and green lights. It made no |
| sound, and was seen for several minutes. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
| National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). |
| |
| 2010 - In Matawatchan, Ontario, Canada a cigar-shaped object was |
| sighted at 7:20 p.m.; it flashed twice, separated into two spheres, |
| joined as one ball of light, and then vanished! The entire event |
| lasted 15 seconds. (Source:Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle, August 2010 webpage, report updated November 21, |
| 2010). |
