|
||
| 1948 - Two U.S. Air Force transport pilots, Helton and Pargoe, flying |
|
||
| over Hartford, Connecticut in the afternoon observed a red |
|
||
| disc-shaped object that flew at high speed, dove at a 45 degree |
|
||
| angle, and had a blue center. The Air Force explained the report as a |
|
||
| daytime meteor. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # |
|

|
||
| 1953 - A huge reddish-orange glowing ovoid object buzzed and |
|
||
| then circled the town of Kerrville, Texas at around 6 p.m. causing |
|
||
| odd TV and radio interference. (Source: Charles Maney, Challenge of |
|
||

||
| |
|
||
| 1958 - At 7:30 a.m. a U.S. Navy P2V-5F with a crew of four flying |
|
||
| north of Adak Island, Alaska sighted a formation of three lights |
|
||
| flying at 900 knots and picked them up on radar. The radar targets |
|
||
| then merged into a single blip.The sighting lasted five minutes. |

|
||
| animals and went out to calm them. Fifteen minutes later he saw a |
|
||
| domed disc-shaped object land in a small square in the village, went |
|
||
| towards it, and became paralyzed and unable to move when he got to |
|
||
| within 10 meters of it. The translucent upper dome showed two dark |
|
||
| figures moving about inside. Two minutes later the craft, 4.5 meters |
|
||
| long and 1.5 meters high, ascended in the direction of Brindisi, and |
|
||
| emitted a vertical beam of green light. (Sources: FSR, |

| oscillating path as they flew along. The sighting lasted three |
|
||
| minutes. Jet interceptors wereobserved in pursuit. (Sources: Donald |

|
||
| Mrs. Paul Zimmerman Gearhart and her two sons saw a triangular UFO |
|
||
| which came slowly out of the southeast and then "suddenly plunged |
|
||
| into the sea some miles offshore" at Tillamook Head, Oregon. It left |
|
||
| two trails of fire behind. (Source: Ivan T. Sanderson, Invisible |
|
||
| Residents, p. 42). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1966 - Beginning at 6:20 p.m. EST, police and citizens reported first |
|
||
| a brilliant light source, then later a bright egg-shaped object that |
|
||
| hovered at low altitude over Wanaque Reservoir, New Jersey. It flew |
|
||
| in circular patterns over the reservoir, occasionally making abrupt |
|
||
| changes in altitude and other vertical maneuvers. Sightings by up to |
|
||
| a hundred independent witnesses continued for more than an hour. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1966 - Six people were driving to a scout hall in Myerstown, |
|
||
| Pennsylvania at 7:40 p.m. when the headlights of their car repeatedly |
|
||
| dimmed out and came back on. The radio also had heavy static. They |
|
||
| proceeded to the scout hall without further incident. On the return |
|
||
| trip, they saw a silent disc-shaped metallic UFO approach the car, |
|
||
| swerve to the right, and parallel the car for several minutes. The |
|
||
| glowing object hovered for five minutes over an open field while they |
|
||
| watched, then "got a tremendous burst of speed" and left nearly |
|
||
| instantaneously towards the northwest. There was no electrical |
|
||
| interference when the UFO was actually in view. (Sources: J. Allen |

||
| Hynek, The UFO Experience, p. 89; UNICAT, case # 375; Mark Rodeghier, |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - Mrs. Park McDaniel was outside her home during the day in |
|
||
| Point Pleasant, West Virginia when she saw what she first took to be |
|
||
| a small plane approaching. As it drew closer she saw that it was |
|
||
| man-shaped and had wings. The creature swooped low over her house and |
|
||
| circled above a nearby building before going out of sight. (Sources: |
|
||
| David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
|
||
| Reports, case 1967-5, citing John A. Keel; Albert S. Rosales, |
|
||
| Humanoid Contact Database 1967, case 24). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - That same night in Aveyron, Basses Pyrenees, France a farmer |
|
||
| sighted a "shell" shaped object taking off from his farm. The man |
|
||
| then proceeded to chase a ball of light in his car. The nocturnal |
|
||
| light stayed 150 yards ahead of him until his engine died and his |
|
||
| lights went out, when he then noticed a "saucer shaped" object |
|
||
| descend. The saucer was slightly bigger than a Peugeot car, 9-12 feet |
|
||
| above the ground, and came down about 60 feet away. The top of the |
|
||
| object had two transparent cupolas in each of which he could see a |
|
||
| helmeted figure, human like and dressed in green and white coveralls. |
|
||
| He felt a wave of heat and a temporary sensation of paralysis. He |
|
||
| watched a nearby road sign vibrating near the oval object. With a |
|
||
| whistling sound the UFO rose to 50 meters altitude then dropped back |
|
||
| again to near ground level. Becoming brilliantly yellow-white, it |
|
||
| finally took off at tremendous speed. As it did so his lights came |
|
||
| back on and he was able to start the car normally. Several days later |
|
||
| the witness experienced trouble sleeping, followed by some weeks of |
|
||
| excessive sleepiness. The area had been the site of repeated UFO |
|
||
| incidents for a year. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, |
|

| citing FSR, volume 17, no. 1). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1969 - At 8:20 a.m. a weatherman at the Sibiu Meteorological Station |
|
||
| in Romania tracked a disc-shaped object with a theodolite for 40 |
|
||
| seconds. It flew toward the northeast against the wind in a clear |
|
||
| sky. (Source: Ion Hobana & Julien Weverbergh, UFOs from Behind the |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1971 - At 2:50 a.m. a government official and three members of his |
|
||
| family witnessed 16 ball-shaped objects as they flew over Kuusamo, |
|
||
| Oulu province, Finland in an eschelon formation. They made no sound |
|
||
| at all. (Sources: UFO Information Sweden, February 1971; Mrs. K. |
|
||
| Smith, BUFORA Journal, August 1971, p. 27). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1973 - At around 2:00 a.m. two people watched a mushroom-shaped |
|
||
| object landed next to a barn in Fort Erie, Niagara County, Ontario, |
|
||
| Canada. A very low flying maneuvering light also paced a car occupied |
|
||
| by a single eyewitness driving between Thorold and Stone, Niagara |
|
||
| County, Ontario. (Source: Thorold News, January 11, 1973; J. Bernard |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1976 - At 5:55 p.m. a 14-year-old boy was walking through the falling |
|
||
| snow to a friend’s house in Hamden, Connecticut when he saw a large |
|
||
| glowing figure floating, near some sumac bushes 400 feet away. The |
|
||
| figure was seen in profile from the waist up. There was no |
|
||
| discernible face, and the back of the head was flat and corrugated. |
|
||
| The glow from the head extended above the bushes that were 7-8 feet |
|
||
| high, and extended about 9 inches from the body, with a less luminous |
|
||
| silvery outer glow that extended another 9” beyond that. The teen ran |
|
||
| to a friend’s house; then they got two other friends, and armed |
|
||
| with a 22-caliber rifle he returned to the site. When they |
|
||
| encountered the figure again one of them shone a flashlight on it, |
|
||
| and it fell backwards behind a ridge. When the flashlight was pointed |
|
||
| away the figure rose up again, and remained in view for 3-4 seconds |
|
||
| before slowly ducking back behind the ridge. When it came up a third |
|
||
| time, he shot at it twice with the .22 aiming over its head; it |
|
||
| slowly descended for the third and last time. One of the |
|
||
| witnesses was unable to see the being. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted |
|
||
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1976-17 |
|
||
| (A1446), citing James P. Barrett, APRO; CUFOS files, report dated |

|
||
| and headlights followed two 15-year-old teens in Mytchett, Surrey, |
|
||
| England. It had portholes and flew overhead. (Source: FSR, June 1978, |

||

|
||
| helmet with two luminous antennae, approached a witness in Fortaleza, |
|

|
||
| being wore a silvery suit and blue boots, and apparently arrived in a |
|
||
| gray-colored object about 15 meters in diameter with lighted windows. |

|
||
| house in Barnegat, New Jersey on this night. It had alternating green |
|
||
| and yellow lights around its rim. On top there was a glass dome and a |
|
||
| pilot-like figure apparently wearing some type of helmet could be |
|
||
| seen inside. Frightened, he ran inside his house but could still see |
|
||
| the disc hovering outside. A strange symbol was also seen on the side |
|
||
| of the disc. It also had an antenna on top and other markings on the |
|
||
| bottom right under the rim lights. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
