| 1952 - A thin, silver disc-shaped craft hovered and wobbled 500 |
| meters over the heads of three witnesses in Guimiliau, Finistere |

| from him. Lights shone from the rear and the sides of the craft, and |
| inside there was a small man dressed in black, wearing a mask or |
| breathing apparatus that resembled the trunk of an elephant. "I was |
| standing with both hands on the bar of my balcony, looking with |
| astonishment at this strange object, when I suddenly felt as though I |
| were being drawn up toward the object by a magnet." Mr. Fili cried |
| out in terror and woke up his neighbors. The object shot straight up, |
| emitting sparks, and it was lost to sight almost immediately. |

| 1989 - At 11:00 p.m. Anna L was returning home with her husband in |
| Primorskiy Kray, Vladivostok, Russia when she fell to the pavement, |
| spinning and yelling in a panic, “Please dont take me, I do not want |
| to fly away, leave me alone, dont touch me!” Something invisible |
| appeared to be pulling Anna by her arms and legs. Her husband tried |
| to calm her and yelled at her that there was no one around. He then |
| tried to pick her up, but to his surprise she proved to be unusually |
| heavy and he was unable to lift her. A crowd gathered, including some |
| local militia, and the police thought her husband had struck her and |
| they wanted to arrest him. At this point Anna calmed down and was |
| able to rise from the pavement. In the morning she felt extremely |
| depressed, and her temperature rose to 38.5 degrees. She then |
| described what she believed had happened to her: She remembered |
| walking with her husband when suddenly everything around her became |
| black; the road, posts, and houses had all vanished and a black |
| void surrounded her. From this void emerged three enormous figures |
| over two meters in height, wearing silvery clothing. She next heard a |
| loud rumbling noise, resembling something that would be made by |
| machinery. After approaching her the figures pulled her by her arms, |
| but she resisted and began screaming at them. She finally began to |
| fade out of consciousness, and her body seemed to disappear. She came |
| to the next morning. Doctors could find no bruises nor abrasions on |
| her arms, and strangely her clothing did not have any traces of mud |
| on them eventhough she had fallen in a puddle of water when she |
| claimed to have struggled with the invisible entities. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1989, citing Vladivostok |
| Ufological Association). |

| 1989 - At 11:05 p.m. a witness reported that a huge white light |
| appeared over Londonderry, New Hampshire and changed color into |
| a dull red, and then back to a dull white light. A second witness saw |
| that the light was actually a triangular object with a big |
| rectangular white light on the back end and a red light near the |
| apex. It moved slowly, making a roaring sound, and was definitely |
| larger than a house. Its estimated altitude was 2000 feet and its |
| distance 3000 feet. (Source: Cheryl L. Powell, MUFON investigation |
| files, case 900719). |
| |
| 1990 - Russian Air Force jet fighters were scrambled after radar |
| contact was reported with two bogeys over T'Bilisi, Georgia at 11:22 |

| to be two kilometers long and the second one 400 meters long. These |
| huge objects moved horizontally at great speed. There was both ground |
| and airborne radar contact with the targets, and the incident lasted |
| 20 minutes. (Sources: Timothy Good, The UFO Report 1992, p. 72; |
| Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 46; Richard F. |

| 1992 - Late on this evening a woman reportedly had an abduction |
| experience in Gardendale, Alabama. Leah Haley saw a moon-like |
| object outside her house, and when she saw the real moon |
| and recognized the second object wasn't it, a beam of light engulfed |
| her and transported her onboard the craft. She then claims that she |
| found herself in a "contemporary" looking room with tables adorned |
| with crystal figurines. She also saw slips of paper underneath the |
| figurines, with the names of other people to be abducted that night. |
| A female, human-looking alien then came into the room. She had short |
| brown hair and wore a red and gold blouse with black trim. She |
| told the witness that her people "were trapped in a time dimension |
| and needed our help to get out." From her limited recollection she |
| recalled that the beings then performed some painful physical exam |
| procedures on her that she was made to forget. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database, case # 2071, citing a published |
| article by Leah Haley). |

| Reporting Center). |
| |
