||
| 1950 - 250 miles southwest of Bermuda over the Atlantic Ocean (29.67º |
|
||
| N, 67.47º W). At 8:00 p.m. radarman S/Sgt. William Shaffer, flying in |
|
||
| a B-29, picked up an unidentified radar blip. The B-29 followed the |
|
||
| unidentified target, then passed it at one-quarter-mile distance, |
|
||
| whereupon the target followed them for the next five minutes. It |
|
||
| passed the B-29 and sped away. A blue streak was seen in the sky |
|
||
| three minutes later. Total time of tracking: 20 minutes. (Source: Don |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1951 - At 9:10 p.m. four Texas Tech professors--Robinson, Oberg, |
|
||
| Ducker, and George--in a backyard in Lubbock, Texas saw the "Lubbock |
|
||
| Lights", a string of perhaps 50 beads of light in a semi-circle or |
|
||
| wing shape, which passed over from north to south. They were seen |
|
||
| again less than one hour later. (Sources: Project Grudge Report #2, |

||
| |
|
||
| 1951 - In Albuquerque, New Mexico Sandia Base Security Guard Hugh |
|
||
| Young and his wife sighted a huge flying wing-shaped craft pass over |
|
||
| their heads at 9:58 p.m. at an estimated 800 to 1,000-feet altitude. |
|
||
| The craft made no sound. Its size was estimated as 1.5 times the |
|
||
| wingspan of a B-36 bomber, or 350 feet. It had dark, chordwise |
|
||
| stripes on the underside, and 6-8 pairs of soft, glowing lights on |
|
||
| the trailing edge of "wing". Its speed was estimated at 300-400 |
|
||
| m.p.h., object seen for about 30 seconds. (Sources: Don Berliner, |

||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - At Holloman AFB, New Mexico around 3:40 p.m., civilian |
|
||
| supervisor Fred Lee and foreman L.A. Aquilar saw a round silver |
|
||
| object fly south, turn and fly north, then make a 360-degree turn and |
|
||
| shoot up vertically after 3-5 minutes. (Sources: Don Berliner, |
|
||
| Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns, UNICAT, case # 741). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - In Pittsburg, Kansas at 5:35 a.m. radio station musician |
|
||
| William Squyres saw a dull aluminum object, shaped like two meat |
|
||
| platters, face to face. The object was hovering about 10 feet above |
|
||
| the ground, 100 yards off the road, with a slight rocking motion. He |
|
||
| estimated its size at 75-feet long, 45-feet wide, and 15-feet thick. |
|
||
| The head and shoulders of a man could be seen through a window in the |
|
||
| front section, through which a blue light shone. The midsection had |
|
||
| numerous windows through which could be seen some type of regular |
|
||
| movement. A series of small propellers were arranged along the outer |
|
||
| edge of the object spaced close together, revolving at high speed. It |
|
||
| ascended vertically with a sound like a large covey of quail starting |
|
||
| to fly at the same time. Vegetation showed signs of having been |
|
||
| disturbed under the object. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, January |

|
||
| 1959 - At around eleven o'clock in the morning near Hagen, |
|
||
| Werdehl-Eveking, Germany Lutz Holtmann began walking toward a bright |
|
||
| object he had seen in the forest, but he fainted when he got close to |
|
||
| it. When he regained consciousness he saw it silently take off in a |
|
||
| vertical ascent. He described the UFO as round with tripod landing |
|
||
| gear and two rows of bright openings. It was about 30 meters in |
|
||
| diameter. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |

||
| with light-emitting walls. A man wearing coveralls apologized to |
|
||
| him in Swedish. He was then taken to an underground base. (Source: |
|
||

|
||
| Toulouse, France observed a luminous, yellow sphere, 8 meters in |
|
||
| diameter, that was flying about 10 meters above the road. It had |
|
||
| horizontal and vertical bands of darker tone that gave the impression |
|
||
| of windows. The UFO flew up and away very fast when the car reached |
|
||
| town. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
|
||
| Landings, case 523). |
|
||
| |

|
||
| by four boys in Littleton, Massachusetts at 9:30 p.m. It hovered with |
|
||
| a fluttering motion near the ground, then finally shot off at high |
|
||
| speed. The witnesses were able to approach to within 500 feet of the |
|
||
| craft before it left. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, case investigation |

|
||
| antennae on top and emittting fire and smoke through two openings in |
|
||
| its lower section, shook a school building as it allegedly landed on |
|
||
| the roof in Callao, Peru. Faculty and students at the Santa Leonor |
|
||
| College observed the craft when it rose from the building, spinning |
|
||
| and emitting red light beams as it flew off to the northeast. |
|
||
| (Sources: Flying Saucer Review, November-December 1967; Jacques |

||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - Shortly after 11:00 p.m. a round, hazy mass of orange-red |
|
||
| light, about a quarter of a mile away, was sighted by two witnesses |
|
||
| in Rising Brook, Staffordshire, England. It was estimated to be about |
|
||
| 60 feet in diameter, and at a maximum height of 300-400 feet from the |
|
||
| ground. It hovered, then moved slowly to the south, stopped, and then |
|
||
| moved back again. It made no sound. (Source: Roger H. Stanway & |
|
||
| Anthony Pace, UFOs Unidentified Undeniable, p. 7). |

||
| |
|
||
| 1968 - In Aldaya, Valencia, Spain Juan Gazcon del Toro, age 44, |
|
||
| was riding his bicycle home from work at 8:00 p.m., and was crossing |
|
||
| a cultivated field when, as he turned a bend, saw a silvery |
|
||
| gray object on the ground resting on four legs. Next to the object |
|
||
| stood two short beings; the witness bicycled closer to the object, |
|
||
| stopped 40 meters away from it, and then looked at it more closely. |
|
||
| The craft had a small dome with an antennae on top, and an open door |
|
||
| from which a silvery ladder extended to the ground. Both beings wore |
|
||
| helmets with visors from which a rubber hose like protrusion was |
|
||
| apparently connected to their chest area. They also wore wide belts |
|
||
| and small boots, and their outfits were white in color. The beings |
|
||
| stood by the object ignoring the witness, so he pedalled his bicycle |
|
||
| away from the site and did not watch the object depart. (Sources: |

|
||
| 1971 - Feeling a compulsion to go to a certain place, Paul de Brescia |
|
||
| walked to an isolated wooded area near Grasse, France. In a clearing |
|
||
| he encountered two very tall humanoids, about 1.85 meters in height |
|
||
| with well-proportioned bodies and long blond hair. They wore |
|
||
| tight-fitting bluish metallic coveralls with wide white belts and |
|
||
| white gloves. The witness felt a sense of compassion and |
|
||
| understanding emanating from the humanoids. The humanoids approached |
|
||
| him and communicated in French, telling him that they had come from |
|
||
| the star system of Vega. They were here on a mission to attempt to |
|
||
| persuade humanity to change its ways. After more conversation one of |
|
||
| the humanoids gave Paul something resembling a piece of chocolate, |
|
||
| which he ate, he became drowsy and later woke up in his apartment, |
|
||
| suffering a complete amnesia of the event. He was only able to recall |
|
||
| the incident on a later date. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
|
||
| Contact Database 1971, citing Denys Breysse, Project Becassine). |

| |
|
||
| 1972 - Steve Cleveland, a carnival worker from Eau Claire, Wisconsin |
|
||
| called radio station WLS in Chicago to report that as he had been |
|
||
| sitting on his suitcase outside of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin at around |
|
||
| 2:00 a.m. hoping to hitch a ride to Eau Clare, when he had seen "a |
|
||
| huge ship" come down in a nearby field, out of which came two beings |
|
||
| about five feet tall. They took some samples of the vegetation and |
|
||
| got back into the object, which then lifted off. He said he observed |
|
||
| the phenomenon for 15 minutes. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
|
||
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1972-22, citing |
|
||
| APRO Bulletin, November-December 1973). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1976 - At 2:30 a.m. a 10-year-old boy in Blissfield, Michigan got up |
|
||
| to go to the bathroom. When he looked out the window he saw a deep |
|
||
| orange luminous globe blinking on and off and slowly zigzagging in |
|
||
| the sky. He watched it for 10-15 minutes, feeling a “pull” from it. |
|
||
| Then when it blinked he suddenly found himself inside it, where |
|
||
| two greenish beings sat with their arms over a table with little |
|
||
| black knobs. They were busy manipulating the knobs while a third |
|
||
| being stood in front of the boy. The third entity was about an inch |
|
||
| taller than the boy. The beings appeared not to have any eyes, nose, |
|
||
| mouth, or neck, and instead of fingers they had pincers like a |
|
||
| crayfish. They had two small projections on the top of their heads. |
|
||
| Their legs did not end in feet, and when they walked it sounded like |
|
||
| "a wooden legged pirate.” The skin on their cheeks and arms was bumpy |
|
||
| and rough like an alligator, and there were scales on their bodies. |
|
||
| They did not utter words, but “hummed like Morse code.” After what |
|
||
| seemed like about five seconds the boy found himself back in his |
|
||
| house, and ran upstairs. Later that same night, at about five a.m., |
|
||
| his 11-year old sister awoke and saw a blue light outside her window. |

|
||
| driving along a highway in Lluchmayor Palma de Mallorca, Baleares, |
|
||
| Spain when he saw a very small (35 cm) object in the road directly |
|
||
| ahead of him. It was too late to stop the car, and he knocked the |
|
||
| "bowling pin shaped" thing down and ran it over, "feeling an intense |
|
||
| sensation that he had killed a living being." Investigation at the |
|
||
| site disclosed a circular wet stain. About two weeks earlier, there |
|
||
| had been a UFO sighting at Palma de Mallorca. No UFO was associated |
|
||
| with this incident. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |

||
| 1978 - A young couple in Villa Carlos Paz, Entre Rios, Argentina was |
|
||
| pursued by a UFO that gave off a yellow light with violet flashes |
|
||
| and left a brilliant trail. It made a high-pitched humming sound like |
|
||
| jet turbines, and made two turns over their vicinity. To get away |
|
||
| they hid in an abandoned house. (Source: Jane Thomas, UFO |

|
||
| middle, and white on the bottom. The first witness, age 65, saw the |
|
||
| light outside through a window through some trees. "It moved fast |

|
||
| found.(Sources: Dermot Butler, Conspiracy of Silence: UFOs in |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 2004 - Military maneuvers code-named "Shield of the Fatherland-2004" |
|
||
| had begun in the forests of Belarus. A senior lieutenant named |
|
||
| Dmitriy, commander of a reconnaissance diversion group (RDG), was |
|
||
| performing rear guard operations and was engaged in destroying |
|
||
| targets pre-positioned at Krepachi, Baranovichi area, Brest region. |
|
||
| On the night of August 24 they made camp. Two men code-named |
|
||
| "Rainbow" and "Hedgehog" were posted for night watch duty. The group |
|
||
| had decided to make camp 375 meters away from the village of Krepachi |
|
||
| in the Brest region. The location was mixed forest, in a clearing |
|
||
| with two large old oak trees and a lake between them. The almost |
|
||
| deserted village was not on any map, and the nearest really inhabited |
|
||
| place was the hamlet of Gorodiszhe. At 3:08 a.m. they were awakened |
|
||
| by a bright but plain spreading orange light. Their portable radio |
|
||
| communications continued to work. Dmitriy asked Rainbow by radio if |
|
||
| he had seen anything. Rainbow replied that he could see a |
|
||
| plate-shaped craft about 27 meters from him, hovering over the ground |
|
||
| at an altitude of about 2.5m. Dmitriy then gave the command to take |
|
||
| defensive positions and prepare the grenade launcher. After |
|
||
| confirming that all his men were ready, Dmitriy took another man, |
|
||
| "Barkhan", and went on a reconnaissance patrol. The object was |
|
||
| generally saucer-shaped with a truncated cone above. At close |
|
||
| observation the object seemed metallic. The UFO emitted a beam of |
|
||
| turquoise beam of light from its center. Unexpectedly, "Hedgehog" |
|
||
| next reported that he could see four figures approaching him from the |
|
||
| object, but he could not see them properly because of the tall grass |
|
||
| concealing them. The soldiers then turned on their laser rangefinder |
|
||
| to infrared mode. The humanoid figures seemed very tall, but the men |
|
||
| still could not see them properly. Dmitriy noticed that the figures |
|
||
| moved evenly as if robotic in nature. Seconds later the UFO quickly |
|
||
| gained altitude, zooming out of sight beyond the clouds. According to |
|
||
| the laser rangefinder the UFO's departing speed was 2600 kilometers |
|
||
| per hour. The humanoid figures then walked in different directions. |
|
||
| Dmitriy did not order his men to follow them, because that could lead |
|
||
| to separating the group, which contradicted the defensive order. The |
|
||
| figures seemed to walk through some high tension wires as if they |
|
||
| were not there. Dmitriy could only hope that the humanoids and object |
|
||
| would quickly leave and that his men would not be harmed. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| After returning to their unit, some of the men informed senior |
|
||
| officers of what had taken place. The officers ordered the men to |
|
||
| keep silence, in order to prevent them from being discharged from the |
|
||
| Army for "psychological" reasons. One officer suggested that the men |
|
||
| had been hallucinating as a result of the rigorous training |
|
||
| exercises. Later, intelligence personnel interviewed the men, and |
|
||
| appeared to be relieved that the men had not used their weapons |
|
||
| against the "aliens" for fear of retaliation. A female resident of |
|
||
| the village told Army investigators that spherical and disk-shaped |
|
||
| objects were often observed in the location. The villagers had been |
|
||
| pasturing cows in the glade where the UFO had descended, and the |
|
||
| soldiers had camped, and they reported that the cows' milk production |
|
||
| had dropped dramatically. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 2004 Humanoid |

||
| 2004 - At 4:00 p.m. an elderly man and a young boy in Lagos, Nigeria |
|
||
| reported seeing a circular craft crash at the shoreline. According to |
|
||
| the man, he was cooling off at a beach resort when a circular-shaped |
|
||
| object flew over him and crashed onto the waters off of the beach. He |
|
||
| reported the case to the Aviation Authority, but they did not believe |
|
||
| him. The young boy, who was peddling spring water around the beach |
|
||
| resort, also corroborated the first witness's account, but was also |
|
||
| brushed aside by authorities. as an infantile hallucination. The site |
|
||
| where the craft was purported to have crashed was later searched by |
|
||
| divers, and they claimed to have found nothing. (Source: Albert S. |
