|
||
| meter into the air. The truck overturned onto a sandbank, causing |
|
||
| minor injuries to the driver. (Sources: Coral E. Lorenzen, Flying |

|
||
| cigar-shaped object flying over the city. Chinese Air Force MIG jet |
|

|
||
| were unable to catch up with it. The populace were told by officials |
|
||
| that what they had seen was a U.S. missile. (Source: John W. Spencer, |
|
||
| World Atlas of UFOs, p. 131). |

| diameter of the Moon. It hung over the northern horizon for eight |
|
||
| minutes. At 6:40 a.m. a second huge stick-like craft was seen that |
|
||
| blew forth a mass of white clouds behind it. A bright flash of light |

| of the Sacramento Mountains. "It kicked the objects out...fast...and |
|
||
| they flew right to the ground." (Source: Alamogordo Daily News, |
|
||

|
||
| aboard a UFO together with her friend and her cat. They were all |
|
||
| brought from her apartment through a window in a trance-like state |
|
||
| and delivered into an otherworldly environment where everything |
|
||
| appeared to be made out of ice. There she met three beautiful female |
|
||
| humanoids who wore silvery spacesuits. The beings paralyzed them and |
|
||
| loaded them onto a wagon-like sledge. The woman awoke the next day |
|
||
| with pain all over her body and with no further recollection of the |
|
||
| event. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1971, |

|
||
| light. Their car engine came back on by itself after the UFO had |
|
||
| gone. (Sources: newspaper clipping, January 3, 1973; FSR, May-June |

|
||

|
||
| light downward." Traces were found and photographed at the site. |

||
| 1976 - Three witnesses watched a 15-meter long football-shaped object |
|
||
| hover 800 meters above a road at one o'clock in the morning in Marle, |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1977 - There were several UFO reports on this day from France and |
|
||
| Portugal. A pink glowing sphere hovered in the sky for six minutes in |
|
||
| Creysseilles, France at 1:30 a.m., then flew away to the east toward |
|
||
| the Mezayon Valley. At seven p.m. a luminous yellow-orange ovoid |
|
||
| hovered in the sky for five minutes over Saint-Donat in Drome |
|
||
| department, France. It drifted toward the southwest and was gone by |
|
||
| eleven p.m. At 7:50 p.m. in Chabeiul, also in Drome, France a |
|
||
| lenticular metallic disc with flames coming from the bottom made a |
|
||
| 180-degree turn and flew off toward the south. The witness's eyes |
|
||
| were sore from the glare of the light. At 8:00 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. |
|
||
| Perez had a close encounter with a ten-meter long ovoid object in |
|
||
| nearby Valence, France that chased their car. They also complained of |
|
||
| eye pain and conjunctivitis as a result of the encounter, and a watch |
|
||
| of theirs had stopped working. The UFO made a reappearance 40 minutes |
|
||
| later. At nine p.m. in Leca de Palmeira, Oporto Province, Portugal a |
|
||
| TV crew filmed a UFO. It made a sound like an electric motor. At ten |
|
||
| p.m. a luminous hemisphere-shaped object, about .65 meters in |
|
||
| diameter, maneuvered and glowed among trees in Eyragues, France in |
|
||

|
||
| area. (Sources: Michel Figuet and Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1977 - Late on this night in New Canaan, Connecticut a young witness |
|
||
| remembers being floated through his house downstairs against his |
|
||
| will. Terrified, he saw a being shorter than him that floated beside |
|
||
| him at the same time. He tried to grab the wall and banister but |
|
||
| could not get a firm hold. His next memory was of being in the |
|
||
| driveway being floated down the road surrounded by several |
|
||
| gray-colored figures. He tried to get away but his legs just cycled |
|
||
| aimlessly in mid-air. He had vague memories of being in a dark room |
|
||
| with a metallic floor with some "people" that were involved in a |
|
||
| project, which calmed him down and made him feel good. This was all |
|
||
| he could remember. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
|
||
| Database 1977, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
|
||

|
||
| files, report dated January 18, 1978). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1998 - At four o'clock in the morning a man in Huelo, Hawaii, who had |
|
||
| earlier that night seen some lights moving out the sky over some |
|
||
| nearby fields, was awakened when he felt some type of "knock" in his |
|
||
| head, perhaps some form of telepathic communication. He looked out |
|
||
| his window to see a multicolored UFO emitting multicolored light |
|
||
| beams in his direction. He woke up his friend and they both saw a |
|
||
| figure standing in the bedroom. Terrified, they hid under the covers |
|
||
| and when they looked again a few moments later the figure had |
|
||
| vanished. The craft, however, was still outside outside but a little |
|
||
| further off, and stayed visible until sunrise. The figure was |
|
||
| described as tall, with a huge head and large staring eyes. (Source: |
|
||
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1998, citing Peter |
|
||
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 2001 - At shortly after midnight several motorists reported sighting |
|
||
| five discs flying along the western shore of North Island, New |
|
||
| Zealand near New Plymouth. One of the UFOs paced a car, hovering 100 |
|
||
| feet overhead of the vehicle, causing radio static. The UFO changed |
|
||
| color from orange to violet as it flew. After several minutes the |
|
||
| UFOs formed into a linear formation and flew off rapidly to the |
|
||
| south. A silent orange object was videotaped over Deception Bay, |
|
||
| Queensland, Australia that evening, moving from the southeast to the |
|
||
| northwest. The video appears to show a dozen windows on the object. |
