1932 On the shore of the Long Island Sound, Connecticut. Around 1932 or 1933, two witnesses observed a strange cigar-shaped aerial
device over the Connecticut shore of Long Island Sound. The object emitted a pink glow at the front and a light swirl of gray
smoke along its sides, moving at great speed. It lacked conventional aircraft features like rudders, wings, or elevators and
disappeared towards the northwest. (Chapter 6, Ref 210)
202
1933 Near Allentown, PA. A Pennsylvania motorist encountered a landed UFO near Allentown while fixing a flat tire. He
approached a field where he saw an eerie purple light and found a bell-shaped craft about six feet tall and 10 feet in diameter.
The craft had a circular door emitting the light, and the witness briefly entered the dome-shaped interior with instrumentation
and cold, ammonia-scented air. After inspecting it for around 10 minutes, he left to finish changing his tire. (Chapter 6, Ref 211)
203
1938 La Grange, Georgia. A witness in La Grange, Georgia, reported observing a large, domed, saucer-shaped object flying over
the area during daylight hours. The object was estimated to be as large as modern commercial airliners, displaying what appeared
to be portholes. The witness estimated its altitude at 4,000 to 5,000 feet and its speed at nearly 1,000 miles per hour. (Chapter 6, Ref 212)
204
1938 Idaho. A man in Idaho witnessed a high-speed UFO during daylight hours. While working as a surveyor near Boise, he observed
a disc-shaped craft that appeared to be rotating rapidly, causing a blurred effect at its edges. The UFO had no visible engines,
cockpit, or exhaust trail, and it moved across the sky so quickly that the witness had difficulty keeping it in focus. The estimated
height of the object was around 4,000 feet when it vanished from sight. (Chapter 6, Ref 213)
205
1938 Arbuckle, Texas. A witness in Arbuckle, Texas, reported seeing a large, gray, dirigible-shaped UFO. The object had no
visible undercarriage but featured a row of windows reflecting sunlight. The UFO then rapidly shot off sideways and vanished from view. (Chapter 6, Ref 214)
206
1931 Over the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand. Aviator Sir Francis Chichester reported encountering a UFO resembling
an airship while flying over the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand. He observed a gray-white airship-like object with
flashes of light, but the object vanished and reappeared before ultimately becoming translucent, reminiscent of descriptions of
flying saucers. (Chapter 6, Ref 215)
207
1932 Greenland. Two Danish air force pilots flying over Greenland encountered a hexagonal, flat craft made of metal, which they
described as unlike any flying machine of their time. They felt a sense of hostility from the craft and later believed that
it resembled a flying saucer. (Chapter 6, Ref 216)
208
1933 Sussex, England. Four British Royal Air Force fighters encountered a large, circular lighted object during a training flight over
Sussex, England. The object dropped into the center of their formation, causing two planes to experience engine failures and one pilot to
sustain burns to his face and hands. (Chapter 6, Ref 217)
209
Sep. 1936 Staffordshire, England. A young girl in Staffordshire, England had a close encounter with a brown, cigar-shaped craft with

210
1936 Italy. A confidential report to Benito Mussolini described two types of UFO sightings in Italy. The first was a polished,
metallic disc with reflective properties, and the second was a gray or slate-colored metallic tube resembling an aerial torpedo
with windows and alternating lights. Additionally, two hat-shaped craft, resembling priest's hats, were observed following the
torpedo-like object. (Chapter 6, Ref 219)
211
1936 Malta. Witnesses near Malta observed a "zeppelin-shaped" object flying at high speed just off the shore. Despite its
appearance, the object was not a known dirigible, as all zeppelins and other airships from various nations were accounted for at the
time. Some observers claimed to have seen people with strange helmets inside a gondola on the craft. (Chapter 6, Ref 220)
212
1938 Norway. A witness in Norway had a close encounter with a disc-shaped UFO. He heard an electrical generator-like sound, saw
a blue object with a reddish halo rise from the ground, and felt stinging exhaust fumes that resembled burned rubber.
The UFO exhibited curious movement patterns, including rising and settling like a falling leaf, before flying off silently. (Chapter 6, Ref 221)
213
1933 Near Tobin Lake, Saskatchewan. Residents near Tobin Lake in Canada's Saskatchewan province observed strange lights attributed to swamp gas,
until three witnesses approached a glowing, oval-shaped object on the ground. The craft had humanoid figures, short in stature,
moving around it, and upon returning the next day, the witnesses found deep impressions and a burned circular area where
the object had been. (Chapter 6, Ref 222)
214
1933 Near Tobin Lake, Saskatchewan. Around the same time, a woman had a potentially unsettling daylight encounter in the same area,
daytime witnessing "little green men" wearing silvery suits near a pond. Her memory of the event was vague, leading her to suggest the
possibility of abduction. (Chapter 6, Ref 223)
215
1933 Australia. In Australia, a woman claimed to have experienced a UFO abduction when a shining egg-shaped craft descended from the sky.
Gray-skinned beings emerged, temporarily paralyzed her with an instrument, and took her aboard the craft, where she was examined
while strapped to a table. (Chapter 6, Ref 224)

beings emerged and walked around the craft in 1935. (Chapter 6, Ref 225)
217
1938 Guadalajara, Spain. Two Spanish soldiers had a close encounter with a lens-shaped UFO in Guadalajara in 1938. They observed two
figures descending from the craft on a platform, experienced a blue beam striking them, and witnessed the occupants and platform
being drawn back into the object before it took off. (Chapter 6, Ref 226)
218
1938 Northern Greece. In northern Greece in 1938, a witness encountered two tall humanoid occupants near an egg-shaped UFO. The occupants
entered the craft, which took off vertically without flames or noise. A mysterious bottle left behind by the occupants spontaneously
combusted when touched, setting fire to nearby vegetation. (Chapter 6, Ref 227)
219
1938 Northern British Columbia. In 1938, a Canadian provincial policeman claimed to have discovered the bodies of five small humanoid
creatures in a remote cave in northern British Columbia. The beings were described as having large heads and long fingers, dressed
in tight-fitting spacesuit-like garments. The officer shared this story with UFO investigators before his death in 1997. (Chapter 6, Ref 228)
220
1938 Somerville, Massachusetts. In 1938, a man in Somerville, Massachusetts reported encountering a UFO with strange occupants. He initially
mistook the object for a blimp but noticed that it lacked typical features. He then saw lighted windows and the silhouette of a thin,
spindly entity with a long head and stooped shoulders staring down at him from one of the windows. The object disappeared behind
clouds, ending the encounter. (Chapter 6, Ref 229)
221
1933 Milan, Italy. In the 1930s, there are reports of UFO crashes outside the United States. Limited information is available on these incidents.
Documents from the early 1930s in Italy suggest instructions from Benito Mussolini regarding UFO information, including a reference to a
crashed UFO near Milan in 1933. (Chapter 6, Ref 230)

humanoid skeletons with large heads. Drawings of figures wearing helmets and a celestial map were found, along with over 700 engraved stone
discs that vibrated and contained embedded alloys. The inscriptions suggested an ancient extraterrestrial astronaut story, connecting to
indigenous legends of small beings from the clouds. (Chapter 6, Ref 233)
