|
||
| craft moving very slowly from the northwest to the southeast. There |
|
||
| were a number of downward slanted windows in the craft and they could |
|
||
| see several humanoid figures moving about inside. Some appeared to be |
|
||
| peering down out of the windows. The background behind the figures |
|
||
| was red, making the figures look like silhouettes. The unusual thing |
|
||
| about the craft was that it made a bobbing motion as it moved.. They |
|
||
| watched the UFO for about 10 minutes until it drifted out of sight. |

||

|
||
| Brazil was walking to town to catch a bus. A bright greenish blue |
|
||
| light appeared and swooped down from the sky to chase him. It circled |
|
||
| back and came to hover above some nearby woods, and he could now make |
|
||
| out a V-shaped craft. He shone his flashlight at it and was suddenly |
|
||
| struck by a light beam from the craft that knocked him down, creating |
|
||
| a tingling sensation before he lost consciousness. At one point he |
|
||
| awoke briefly to see several men staring at him. They examined him in |
|
||
| silence. He finally woke up several hours later, and felt terrible |
|
||
| pains throughout his body that prevented him from working for two |
|
||
| months. (Source: Bob Pratt, UFO Danger Zone: Terror and Death in |
|
||
| Brazil--Where Next? and in Timothy Good (ed.), The UFO Report 1991). |

||
| crossing near Bellville, Ohio around 10 p.m. when they noticed a huge |
|
||
| dark figure with red glowing eyes that appeared to be in a slumped |
|
||
| position standing over the tracks. The frightened witnesses fled the |
|
||
| area and later notified the police. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
|
||
| Humanoid Contact Database 1978, case # 1830, citing Ron Schaffner, |
