|
||
| |
|
||
| 1909 - On this night in Anderlues, Belgium a teacher sighted a |
|
||
| 25-meter in diameter sphere glide down a road, and then turn and go |
|
||
| down a small path. (Source: SOBEPS, case 163). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1942 - At around 2:30 a.m. on this night in Los Angeles County, |
|
||
| California a formation of 6-9 luminous white balls of light flying in |
|
||
| a triangular formation flew in from the northwest, moving very |
|
||
| slowly. They also appeared as steady radar blips coming in from the |
|
||
| sea. As they flew over aircraft factories and this was shortly after |
|
||
| the United States entry into World War II, widespread panic resulted, |
|
||
| and five people were killed by the anti-aircraft fire hitting the |
|
||
| ground and in subsequent traffic accidents. In the evening in Santa |
|
||
| Monica, California a white disc was sighted hovering high in the sky. |

||
| flashing, and had tapered ends. The object flew slowly and then sped |
|
||
| up, fluttered and oscillated, and changed course. The observations by |
|
||
| the various individuals lasted from three seconds up to two minutes. |

|
||
| three "brushed aluminum" disc-shaped objects with a row of lights or |
|
||
| ports around the center of each. The objects banked into a turn, |
|
||
| whereupon the lead disc glowed red one time, appearing like molten |
|
||
| iron, then the glow diminished. The three objects banked into |
|
||
| the turn in unison. (Sources: NICAP case files; APRO Bulletin, |

|
||
| of a round, possibly disc-shaped UFOs, entirely lit with a plain |
|
||
| bright light. The UFOs flew up from a low altitude at a 30-degree |
|
||
| angle, sped up, and then flew off quickly toward the northeast. |

|
||
| craft. The domed disc made a louder noise as it took off, and flew |
|
||
| away toward the east. Later that night numerous witnesses in Maydena, |
|
||
| Tasmania, sighted two orange lights. They flew toward the southwest |
|
||
| at a speed less than 100 mph. (Sources: Bill Chalker, The Oz Files, |

|
||
| flashed across her face. She drove away in fear, and she continued to |
|
||
| watch a blue glow in her rear view mirror. (Source: Center for UFO |

||
| dome on top out of his truck window. The trajectory of the UFO |
|
||

|
||
| to the right. The crew saw four orange lights on the first object and |
|
||
| 3 lights on the other one. After three minutes the first object |
|
||
| executed a turn to the right, then to the left. The second object |
|
||
| repeated the maneuver and followed after the first some six to eight |
|
||
| minutes later. (Source: Richard F. Haines, Project Delta: A Study of |

| elk out of the forest and fly off with the apparently dead or |
|
||

|
||
| oscillated in flight, then swooped down and abducted the elk in a |
|
||
| clear cut, 500 yards away from the men. (Source: Robert Fairfax, |

|
||
