|  June 1 |
| |
| 1951 - At Niagara Falls, New York at 4:20 a.m. three enlisted men |
| watched a glowing yellow-orange, saucer-shaped object with arc-shaped |
| wings, shoot straight up into the sky. It was seen for 30-40 seconds. |
| (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1951 - A Wright-Patterson AFB base official saw a disc-shaped object |
| turn sharply southeast of Dayton, Ohio at 10:00 p.m. (Sources: |
| Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 23; Richard Dolan, UFO's and the |
| National Security State: Chronology of a Cover-up 1941-1973, p. 400). |
| |
| 1952 - On this morning the Hughes Aircraft radar facility in Los |
| Angeles, California tracked a UFO that climbed to 35,000 feet, dove |
| and then pulled out of the dive, heading off to the southeast. |
| (Source: Ruppelt Edward J. Ruppelt, Report on Unidentified Flying |
| Objects, p. 190). |
| |
| 1952 - Walla Walla, Washington. At 1:00 p.m. ex-military pilot Major |
| W. C. Vollendorf sighted an oval-shaped object with a "definite |
| airfoil" performed a fast climb for 7 seconds. (Source: Don Berliner, |
| Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - Soap Lake, Washington. Sometime after three o'clock in the |
| afternoon Ray Lottman sighted three glimmering objects that flew |
| straight and level for 10 minutes. (Source: Don Berliner, Project |
| Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - At six o'clock in the evening Airman Beatty and two civilians |
| in Rapid City, South Dakota watched at least five long silver objects |
| flew in a neat box formation with a leader for 15-20 seconds. |

| statistics, case #1243; Kevin D. Randle, Invasion Washington: UFOs |
| over the Capitol, p. 263; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO |
| Unknowns). |
| |
| 1954 - At 9:00 p.m. the crew of a USAF B-47 jet bomber was flying at |
| 34,000' altitude located 400 miles south of Minneapolis, Minnesota |
| when they spotted an unknown craft with running lights that flew at |
| 24,000-44,000' altitude for one hour. (Source: Project Blue Book |
| files counted in official statistics, case #3029; Don Berliner, |
| Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; Jay Rath, The M-Files: True Reports of |
| Minnesota's Unexplained Phenomena, p. 45). |
| |
| 1958 - At 11:15 a.m. on Sunday, June 1st, a silent "unknown aircraft" |
| with no identifying markers crashed into the Alta fjord, Norway. At |
| the impact site, 70 meters deep, a column of water rose up. The |
| aircraft resembled a twin-engine delta-winged jet. The witnesses were |
| Bjorn Taraldsen, Nils M. Turi, Kate Julsen, and Rasmus Hykkerud. When |
| others arrived half an hour later all they found were a number of |
| dead fish. The frigate KNM Arendal and the submarine KNM Sarpen, |
| along with divers, searched for the aircraft fruitlessly for over a |
| week. The Arendal, however, did get a sonar reading of a mobile |
| object. (Source: Ole Jonny Braenne, International UFO Reporter, |
| January-February 1995, pp. 12-13 & 17). |
| |
| 1966 - On or around this day two Ontario residents had a chance |
| encounter with a disc-like UFO hovering close to the dark waters of |
| Lake Ontario. The object, which had rows of lights flashing around |
| its perimeter, took off rapidly as the witnesses approached it in a |
| motor boat. The incident was reported to NICAP by Richard Plewman. |
| Plewman, a former RCAF Flight Lieutenant and pilot instructor, was |
| cruising with a friend, Jack Grant about 2-1/2 miles offshore of |
| Clarkson at about 10:30 p.m. While proceeding in a NE direction, the |
| men noticed some lights like headlights on the water ahead. They |
| continued talking, and approaching the lights at a moderate speed, |
| not suspecting anything unusual. When they got to an estimated |
| distance of 3/4 to 1 mile, the lights slowly rose with a "swish," |
| emitting a low "pulsating hum." Plewman and Grant could now see a |
| disc with a bubble-type dome on top and a flat bottom, casting an |
| oval reflection on the lake surface. A row of bright yellow lights |
| encircled the dome, blue-green lights around the lower perimeter. |
| After hovering briefly, the UFO took off at high speed disappearing |
| "Like a light bulb turned out." Plewman said the perimeter lights |
| clearly outlined the dark object, the colors changing from dull white |
| to fluorescent tones as the UFO started to rise. (Source: NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, August-September 1966, p. 5). |
| |
| 1967 - A yellow-orange disc-shaped object with three legs and windows |
| allegedly landed in Santa Monica near Madrid, Spain at 11 p.m. Ground |
| traces included three holes in the ground and burnt grass at the |
| landing site. The holes were rectangular in shape and 15 cm x 30 cm |
| in size. An aluminum colored powder and some mysterious tubes were |
| also discovered. An object, said to be lens-shaped, was photographed |
| 30 minutes earlier in San Jose de Valderas, Spain. The photo shows an |
| "H" insignia on the bottom of the craft. The photograph, however, is |
| regarded by many UFO investigators as a hoax. (Source: Antonio |
| Ribera, FSR, September-October 1969, p. 4; Richard Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 263). |
| |
| 1967 - John Norton, age 7, of Richmond, Virginia had to be taken to a |
| hospital after observing a disc-shaped, buzzing object, the size of a |
| Volkswagen, with green and red lights, which landed in a clearing at |
| 11:30 p.m. and took off "like lightning." (Sources: NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, June 1967, pp. 2, 7; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case #847). |
| |
| 1970 - A teacher on the beach on Padre Island, Texas sighted a cloud |
| cigar, that is, a cigar-shaped flying object surrounded by an |
| artificial cloud, low overhead at about 1:00 p.m. It had a pulsing |
| glow, and made a sudden hissing sound. It shot off in a vertical |
| ascent. (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator,  August 1970, p. 1). |
| |
| 1972 - The principal witness, along with her mother and two friends, |
| were driving to the village of Collage near Molong, New South Wales, |
| Australia at around 8:00 a.m. As she sat in the back seat she looked |
| out the window to her right and noticed a large bright shiny object. |
| It was saucer shaped with a dome on top, and along side of it on the |
| left was a very tall person dressed in an outfit that glowed the same |
| as the ship. Another similar figure was walking towards the road (the |
| craft was about 30 meters away from a fence line, which was 5 meters |
| from the road). A third figure was standing on the right side of the |
| object near a dead tree. All three had on the same clothing with |
| helmets with black visors. She described the aliens as being very |
| tall, approximate eight feet in height. As the car drove she noticed |
| that they seemed to be collecting items from the ground. She also |
| noticed that the one walking towards the road seemed to have turned |
| his helmet and look at their vehicle as it drove off. The witness |
| never told anyone else in the car what she had seen. (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, June 1972 |
| webpage). |
| |
| 1975 - At about 1:30 a.m. a woman was walking around a corner of a |
| major highway on the outskirts of the town of Villarrasa, Huelva |
| province, Spain when she encountered a large object with red, green, |
| and white lights in the middle of the road. Standing next to the |
| object were three very tall human looking beings, who wore bright |
| white uniforms and square helmets. They seemed to be moving their |
| arms around. The witness became frightened and ran home. Around the |
| same time another witness in a different part of town sawa large |
| domed disc with green and red lights, or or near the ground only 15 |
| meters away. Next to the round object stood three very tall men |
| wearing helmets. Each helmet had a green light on it. The men were |
| next seen walking around the object. This witness also became afraid |
| and left. When he looked back, he saw the UFO lifting off from the |
| ground. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1975 Humanoid Contact Database, |
| case # 91, citing Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos & Fernandez Peri, |
| Enciclopedia De Encuentros Cercanos con Ovnis). |
| |
| 1978 - Teachers commuting to schools in La Bajada, Catamarca |
| province, Argentina saw three UFOs with pale green luminescence and a |
| metallic appearance at around 7:30 a.m. The objects zig-zagged from |
| southeast to east, next performed a parabolic turn, and then flew off |
| to the southwest. (Source: Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, |
| July 1978, p. 15, citing Chronica, June 7, 1978). |
| |
| 1981 - In Cavan, South Australia a former radio booster station saw a |
| huge whitish-blue ball of light, the size of a house, on the right of |
| it at 5:45 a.m. The ball of light rolled across in front of a car |
| beign driven by a witness named Watson, and the car drove through it. |
| (Source: Mark Cashman, Project 1947 website; Australian IUR, August |
| 1981, p. 16). |
| |
| 1993 - At around one o'clock in the afternoon a dull, metallic, |
| cigar-shaped object traveled from one cloud formation to another in |
| Rogers, Arkansas then back to the first cloud formation on the exact |
| reverse path. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle, June 1993 webpage, report posted September 9, 2004). |
| |
| 1996 - At 2:30 a.m. a dark, matt black triangular UFO with lights on |
| each corner hovered over a transformer near Fort Meade, Maryland. It |
| made no sound. Three hours later another triangular UFO was sighted |
| flying over Beltsville, Maryland. (Source: Peter Davenport, National |
| UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, June 1996 archived webpage). |
| |
| 1998 - A red ball of light shot over the lake in Gmunden, Austria at |

| |
| 1999 - Three silver round objects with powerful flashing lights lined |
| up in the sky eight kilometers wide over the city of Puebla, Mexico |
| in the early afternoon. It was videotaped by a Mexican TV crew. One |
| object disappeared, the other two shot off to the southwest. |
| (Sources: UFO Magazine (US), September 1999, p 19; George Filer, |
| Filer's Files, volume 9, number 22). |
| |
| 2000 - A videotape by Sr. Logro Avila shows a UFO flying at high |
| speed at 6 p.m. over Tlalnepantla, Mexico, with a military jet |
| traveling in same direction. (Source: Carlos Alberto Guzman Rojas, |

| el espacio aereo Mexicano, p. 271). |
| |
| 2002 - At 3:00 p.m. four brown, connected spheres with several spikes |
| poking out of them were sighted traveling at 300 feet altitude over |
| Brighton, Michigan on a steady course, and completely silent. The |
| sighting was reported to have lasted five minutes. (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, June 2002 |
| webpage). |
| |
| 2008 - Two white glowing metallic, teardrop-shaped objects flew over |
| Thunder Bay, Ontario at 11:15 p.m. heading east. The second one |
| followed the same parallel path about 40 meters difference, |
| approached and passed over the two witnesses. Duration was two |
| minutes. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2008 Canadian UFO Survey, case # |
| 2008-317, citing NUFORC). |
| |
| 2009 - A dark gray, giant boomerang-shaped UFO with 8 dim lights was |
| spotted briefly at Berryville pond, Berryville, Arkansas at two |
| o'clock in the morning. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, Seattle, June 2009 webpage, report uploaded June |

| |
| 2013 - At about 10:05 p.m. on Saturday evening a women and her |
| 3-year-old child had just pulled out of a convenience store on U.S. |
| Route 30 in North Huntindon Township, Westmoreland County, |
| Pennsylvania, and turned left toward Greensburg. As she drove along |
| she noticed a large object hovering over the highway. She said out |
| loud, "What in the world is that?" Her youngster in the backseat |
| responded, "Look mommy, a flying iPad in the sky!" She looked around |
| and noticed there were no other cars on the road. She was quite |
| concerned and stopped, about 150 feet away from the hovering craft. |
| The object was completely silent and hovered approximately 60 feet |
| above the roadway. She described it as looking "mostly |
| rectangular...like the gondola of a blimp without the blimp." It |
| extended over the east and westbound lanes, and was estimated to be |
| about 55 feet long, and 35-40 feet tall. |
| |
| The witness described the object as two-tiered. The top section had |
| five sets of green lights. There were three individual lights in each |
| set, and the five sets were all evenly spaced and not blinking. The |
| green color was brighter than the green of a traffic light. The |
| bottom section was smaller; it contained two long solid red lights |
| ther were placed side by side. These lights were steady and gave the |
| impression of looking like brake lights, but they were huge. The |
| woman called her mother on her bluetooth cell phone. She asked her |
| mother if she had any explanation of what she was looking at, but as |
| she drove under it the digital dashboard display, her cell phone |
| signal, and her FM radio all blacked out. The witness attempted to |
| take a photo with her iPhone, but the camera function wouldn't load. |

| |
| She accelerated down the highway to get away from the object. About |
| half a mile away she looked back and could no longer see the object. |
| The digital displays all returned to normal, her radio came back on, |
| and she was able to make cell phone contact again with her mother as |
| she approached the Adamsburg exit. When she got home she discussed |
| what had happened with her family, and they urged her to draw a |
| sketch of the object while the even was still fresh in her memory. |
