|
||
| flame coming from the rear of the craft that periodically increased |
|
||
| in brightness, and its rim gave off an orange and green glow. It |

|
||
| disc left an orange glowing trail. It was silent, flew slowly, and |
|
||
| hovered near the Metro station close to the ground, but did not |
|

|
||
| Caubert, Mr. Rolle, saw the object half an hour earlier. It came from |

|
||
| Queensland. Around 8:00 p.m. a UFO was seen moving over the mountains |

||
| |
|
||
| 1962 - At 1:00 a.m. Doctor Gauza and his wife were traveling on their |
|
||
| way back to Crespo, Entre Rios, Argentina when they noticed a large |
|
||
| metallic, cone-shaped object on the ground very close to the road. A |
|
||
| very tall human looking figure stood next to an open door in the |
|
||
| craft. It was looking around at the terrain. There was also a second |
|
||
| figure looking out from a large porthole. The men were described as |
|
||
| having long blond hair, and wore white coveralls with visors. When |
|
||
| the two beings saw the witnesses, they used hand signals in an |
|
||
| apparent attempt to get them to come closer, but the couple panicked |
|
||
| and left at high speed. Eight other persons later came forward |
|
||
| stating that they had also seen the craft and its occupants. (Source: |

|
||
| Argentina (11:00 p.m. local time). (Sources: APRO Bulletin, May-June |

||
| |
|
||
| 1963 - At two o'clock in the afternoon, four boys in Fern Creek, |
|
||
| Kentucky saw a cigar-shaped object that became a disc, then vanished |
|
||
| behind some trees. A small being, 3.5 to 4 feet tall, wearing a |
|
||
| tight-fitting white suit, goggles and a helmet emerged from the |
|
||
| trees. The boys threw dirt clods at the entity, and the dwarf fired |
|
||
| back using what looked like a black tube, burning two of them. There |
|
||
| were landing imprints and footprints at the site. (Source: David F. |
|
||
| Webb, Skylook, August 1975, p. 9, citing Terry William as field |
|
||
| investigator). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1965 - A 70-foot diameter black disc flew by a satellite tracking |
|
||
| station in Bedford, England on this day. None of the witnesses |
|
||
| outdoors at the time could hear anything. A metallic disc hung |
|
||
| stationary high in the sky at an altitude above 100,000 feet. (Source: Donald |
|
||
| E. Keyhoe, Aliens from Space, p. 112). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - At 1:20 a.m. Rev. Anthony De Polo, an Assembly of God |
|
||
| minister, was lying in bed in Boardman, Ohio when he heard a very |
|
||
| loud whining sound that rose and fell in pitch. Then he received a |
|
||
| distinct mental message telling him to go to the window. He did so, |
|
||
| and saw a five foot tall figure wearing a luminous tight-fitting |
|
||
| "spacesuit." There was also a source of light coming from above the |
|
||
| figure. At first he thought someone was playing a prank, but the |
|
||
| apparition was well-defined and looked real. He stepped out onto his |
|
||
| porch and mentally heard the words,"You have nothing to fear." |
|
||
| |
|
||
| He began to walk toward the being when the whining noise began again |
|
||
| and he heard, "Danger; I must go." Then the figure dissolved into a |
|
||
| blurred glow of light. Before it completely disappeared De Polo |
|
||
| received another message of a personal nature. On the same night and |
|
||
| not far from De Polo's home, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dixon heard a loud |
|
||
| noise outside, looked out, and saw an object hovering over their |
|
||
| house. It moved off toward the south after about five minutes. De |
|
||
| Polo has had a number of subsequent UFo sightings and "contacts." |

|
||
| reddish-orange, oval-shaped object a few meters above the ground |
|

|
||
| remain stationary for 30 seconds near a cement plant. An occupant |
|
||
| could be seen inside the object through a window. It looked like "a |
|
||
| little bluish colored man with eyes that gave off flashes." The UFO |
|
||
| performed various maneuvers over the cement plant and drew the |
|
||
| attention of many of its employees, who stopped work briefly to watch |
|
||
| it. Lt. Pedro Edvaldo De Souza took statements from the eyewitnesses, |
|
||

|
||
| Brazil. (Sources: Walter Buhler, FSR Case Histories, November 1971, |

|
||
| feet away and descending over the corner of the lawn. The object |
|
||
| maneuvered a few seconds without actually touching down. She noted |
|
||
| that it had flashing red, yellow, and white lights around its bottom |
|
||
| rim. It then accelerated and was out of sight behind some trees in a |
|
||
| second. Two days later a hired worker asked her about some strange |
|
||
| material on the grass. She realized it was in the area of the |
|
||
| sighting. After eliminating the lawn car company as responsible for |
|
||
| an oily residue on the grass, she decided to report the incident. |

|
||
| the same evening a light was observed moving up and down behind some |
|
||
| trees in Sudbury, Ontario for a long time. Eventually the one |
|
||
| remaining witness, a boy, observed it turn blue and streak away. |
|
||
| (Source: Joseph Trainor, UFO Roundup website, issue 3.32). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1999 - The main witness was a UFO investigator, staying with a known |
|
||
| abductee and her child in San Antonio, Texas, in order to offer them |
|
||
| some protection and company. He had fallen asleep, when he woke up |
|
||
| suddenly when he detected some kind of movement behind him. Thinking |
|
||
| it was the woman he did not turn around. Then he felt a “body” next |
|
||
| to him, and he next felt a pleasant touch on his upper back, and |
|
||
| the sensation as an “arm” passed over his ribcage. Concerned, he |
|
||
| tried to move but was unable to. When he was finally able to turn his |
|
||
| head, he saw a round basketball shaped object under the covers. He |
|
||
| jolted to his feet and heard a slight giggling sound at the same time |
|
||
| that the object under the covers appeared to deflate. He went and |
|
||
| tried to wake up his friend but was unable to. Two nights later he |
|
||
| saw a small white, grayish figure standing just inches away from him |
|
||
| that suddenly disappeared. Other strange occurrences were later |
|
||
| reported. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1999, |

|
||
| observed three rectangular objects, the size of small planes, that |

|
||
| slightly illuminated but not bright. The objects zig-zagged and |
|
||
| criss-crossed into the distance.(Source: Peter Davenport, National |

| Missouri Highway 370, just off of Discovery Bridge. It had three |
|
||
| white and one red non-blinking lights. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
