|
||
| Warwick, Quebec. They were completely white. (Source: John Colombo, |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1951 - At 9:27 p.m. military radar picked up a large sausage-shaped |
|
||
| radar blip. It was tracked flying over Kadena AFB, Japan moving at |
|
||
| 4,800 mph. Listed as a Project Blue Book "unidentified" case. |
|
||
| (Source: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case |
|
||
| 984). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - At 1:30 a.m. a UFO zigzagged over Abidjan, Ivory Coast. That |
|
||
| evening, at Cocoa Beach, Florida a white ovoid object hovered near |
|
||
| Cape Canaveral for two and a half hours. (Source: Loren Gross, UFOs: |
|
||
| A History. 1952: September-October, p. 61). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - There are 81 UFO and humanoid reports recorded in UFOCAT for |
|
||
| this day. There is one from India, one from Lebanon, one from Quebec, |
|
||
| one from Switzerland, two each from England and Italy, and three from |
|
||
| Austria. The rest are from France, which appears to be at the center |
|
||
| of this massive wave of UFO sightings. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - Angelo Girardo, 55, a stockyard employee, was going to work in |
|
||
| Bressuire, France at dawn when he saw a circular craft with a |
|
||
| three-meter diameter and a small figure wearing a diving suit, |
|
||
| standing close by. The object took off at a fantastic speed. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - Between Rue and Quend, France on Route D27, near the village |
|
||
| of Vron, Rene Coudette and B. Devoisin were riding bicycles with a |
|
||
| third witness when they saw an orange object, shaped like a beehive, |
|
||
| on the road ahead of them. A small strange "man" wearing a diving |
|
||
| suit, about 0.9 meters (3 foot) tall, was standing close to it. When |
|
||
| they got within 70 meters of it, the object took off very fast. Less |
|
||
| than three hours later, the same or a similar orange object chased a |
|
||
| car down a road in Quend for eight kilometers, then flew away toward |
|
||
| the sea. The witness was a butcher named Georges Galant. (Sources: |
|
||
| Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, pp. 118, |
|

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - At 7:20 p.m. the crowd at a fair in Chereng, France saw a |
|
||
| luminous object arrive very fast in the sky, stop in flight, emit |
|
||
| sparks, and come down to ground level. As witnesses rushed to the |
|
||
| spot it took off again. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the |
|
||
| Straight Line Mystery, p. 113; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
|
||
| Century of Landings, p. 216). |

|
||
| age 22, while riding a motorcycle between Montmoreau and Villebois |
|
||
| Lavalette, France. It seemed to be gliding over the ground. It showed |
|
||
| luminous spots and became completely illuminated when it took off. It |
|
||
| was about 1.2 meters high. Grass was found flattened and scorched |
|
||
| over an area seven meters across. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying |
|
||
| Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 130; Jacques Vallee, |
|
||

||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - Near La Rochelle, France at 11:00 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. |
|
||
| Guillemoteau saw an object, five meters in diameter and 2.5 meters |

|
||
| UFO then rose vertically. Oily marks were found at the spot. |

| |
|
||
| 1958 - At 3:20 a.m. in Owasco, Indiana four big, soft white |
|
||
| elliptical lights, about 40 meters in diameter, maneuvered back and |
|
||
| forth just above tree top level while changing color. (Source: NICAP |
|
||

|
||
| 1967 - At 7:45 p.m. Kathy Skolem of Portland, Connecticut, age 13, |
|
||
| saw an orange cloud bigger than the moon, which changed colors from |
|
||
| pink to blue to green. This turned out to be a barium cloud |
|
||
| experiment launched by NASA at 7:18 EDT from Wallops Island, |
|
||
| Virginia. However, she then saw a white domed disc surrounded by a |
|
||
| haze. It had lights around its rim, and it flew off toward the |
|
||
| southeast. At 8:40 p.m. a glowing Saturn-shaped object with a fuzzy |
|
||
| amber center flew over Cambridge, Massachusetts. It had white lights |
|
||
| sparkling around its circumference. This too was not the barium cloud |
|
||
| experiment, which they had seen earlier in the evening. (Sources: |

| 1971 - Mr. and Mrs. Cury where driving in Anapolis, Brazil at 1:40 |
|
||
| a.m. when their car's engine made an odd sound and suddenly |
|
||
| accelerated to 160 kph despite the driver's effort to slow it down. A |
|
||
| large glowing sombrero-shaped object appeared in front of the car. It |
|
||
| passed back and forth across the road, oscillated up and down, then |
|
||
| sped away. On the same day two disc-shaped objects descended low over |
|
||
| Rainbow Lake in Derry, New Hampshire. There were independent |
|
||
| witnesses to the event, and other UFO sightings in the area. |

|
||
| 1973 - During a flurry of low-level UFO sightings in the area of |
|
||
| North Melbourne, Australia, a man woke up in the middle of the night |
|
||
| and noticed two figures standing in the shadows in front of his |
|
||
| bedroom wall looking at him. They were described as humanoid and |
|
||
| tall, and they appeared to be floating just above the floor. Both |
|
||
| swayed gently from side to side. Both beings had large baldheads, |
|
||
| slanted eyes, lipless mouths, and small flat noses. Their ears were |
|
||
| pressed back against the side of their heads. No clothing details |
|
||
| could be discerned. Moments later one of the beings opened his mouth |
|
||
| and a high-pitched whine filled the room. At the same time both |
|
||
| beings began to fade and disappeared. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
|
||
| Humanoid Contact Database 1973, case # 868, citing George Alahouzos, |
|
||
| FSR, Vol. 25 # 1). |

|
||
| off from the water's surface in East Derry, New Hampshire. (Source: |
|
||

||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - Thousands of witnesses in Bogota, Colombia saw two UFOs in an |
|
||
| unusually clear sky. One was shaped like a "croissant" and the other |
|
||
| was cylinder-shaped. Both gave off an intense luminosity. Traffic |
|
||
| halted throughout the city during the sighting. (Source: UFO |
|
||
| Newsclipping Service, December 1978, p. 15). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - At 9:37 p.m. a car driving over a mountain pass near Sayama |
|
||
| City, Japan was suddenly illuminated. An orange beam of light came |
|

|
||
| stomach. Then a short humanoid being with no obvious nose appeared |
|
||
| and pressed a metallic object against his forehead. He began |
|
||
| receiving telepathic communication from the being accompanied by a |
|
||
| high-pitched noise. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
|
||
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A1977). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1983 - At two o'clock in the morning Debbie Tomey heard a voice call |
|
||
| her in her bedroom at her home in suburban Indianapolis, Indiana. She |
|
||
| saw a small ball of light fly through her hallway. Under hypnosis she |
|
||
| recalled being drowsy, then being touched by a device clamped to her |
|
||
| neck. She saw a short humanoid being, and then experienced an episode |
|
||
| of missing time. When she regained consciousness she found herself |
|
||
| outside her house. (Source: Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions: The |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1996 - At approximately 8:00 p.m. local time a number of vehicles |
|
||
| traveling on I-25 south of Springer, New Mexico were witness to a |
|
||
| cigar-shaped object, estimated to be at least "two stories" tall and |
|
||
| covered with very bizarre lights. The object was seen to descend out |
|
||
| of the night sky and hover over an area near the highway. At least |
|
||
| 4-5 automobiles, and two tractor-trailers had stopped along the |
|
||
| highway and their passengers had gotten out of their vehicles to look |
|
||
| at the object. At some point during the sighting the object |
|
||
| extinguished its lights and apparently settled to the ground. One |
|
||
| young person was emotionally upset by the event, and was still in a |
|
||
| state of shock several hours later. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
|
||
| National UFO Reporting Center website). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1996 - On this Thursday night numerous sightings of one or more |
|
||
| blue-green "fireballs" streaking overhead were reported to various |
|
||
| law-enforcement agencies in California. Some reports hinted at the |
|
||
| possibility that the sightings were associated with several fires of |
|
||
| unknown origin that had allegedly broken out as the object or objects |
|
||
| passed overhead. Witnesses in at least four counties made reports to |
|
||
| the California Emergency Management Office in Sacramento. One |
|
||
| observer reported that he had seen a bluish or blue-green fireball |
|
||
| descend almost vertically to the east of his location in Bakersfield. |
|
||
| The object was observed for approximately 20-30 seconds, during which |
|
||
| time it traversed an arc or approximately 30 degrees of angle. The |
|
||
| object went below the horizon to the east. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
|
||
| National UFO Reporting Center website). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1997 - At four in the afternoon Osmo Kurkela was walking home from |
|
||
| school in Raahe, Finland when he saw a red light in the sky that was |
|
||
| coming straight down towards him. It stopped ten meters from the |
|
||
| witness then landed. The UFO was five meters long and ten meters |
|
||
| wide. Three human-looking beings emerged and one of them appeared to |
|
||
| be a woman. Osmo ran home and attempted to hide, but his next |
|
||
| recollection was being taken from his home and into the object. A |
|
||
| sperm sample was allegedly taken from the young man. (Source: Albert |
|
||
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1997, case # 2840, citing UFO |
|
||
| Sightings in New Mexico and the World). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1998 - A five-meter diameter disc flew low over the valley of the |
|
||
| Tevere River in Rieti, Italy and skimmed the surface of the water. It |
|
||
| flew off toward the southwest and was sighted again in Rome. (Source: |
|
||
| Joseph Trainor, UFO Roundup website, volume 3, no. 41). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 2000 - A witness saw three lights chasing one another over Montreal, |
|
||
| Quebec at 9:33 p.m. They zigzagged around the sky making no noise. |
