|  October 24 |
| |
| 1886 - On this night a loud humming noise awakened a family of nine |
| in a hut in a village in Maracaibo, Venezuela. A vivid, dazzling |
| light illuminated the inside of the hut. The family suffered symptoms |
| of apparent radiation exposure, including vomiting, hair loss, |
| swelling, black blotches, and sores. Trees in the area withered and |
| died nine days later. (Sources: Scientific American, December 1886, |
| p. 18; APRO Bulletin, July-August 1972, p. 6; N. M. H. Turner, FSR |

| Magazine, August 2002, p. 44; John F. Schuessler, UFO-Related Human |
| Physiological Effects, p. 17). |
| |
| 1948 - Mr. and Mrs. Sanders were driving northwest on Highway 52 |
| towards Moorhead, Minnesota (46.88° N, 96.78° W) when they saw a |
| brilliant golden-white round object suddenly appear as if a light had |
| been switched on. It was about three miles away to the northeast at |
| 1,000 feet altitude in a gradual climb traveling at an estimated |
| 600-1,000 mph and heading west towards Moorhead. It made no sound, |
| and was about half the size of a full moon in angular size. When they |
| reached the northern outskirts of Moorhead the object suddenly made a |
| right turn and one second later disappeared by suddenly switching |
| off. The Air Force said they had seen a meteor. (Source: Project Blue |

| Research index of cases). |
| |
| 1952 - At 8:26 p.m. flying over Elberton, Alabama at 5,000 feet in a |
| Beech T-11 trainer, USAF Lt. Rau and Capt. Marcinko sighted a deep |
| orange, plate-shaped flying object with a brilliant front and vague |
| trail. It flew with its concave surface forward and was in sight for |
| five seconds. It moved much faster than F-80, and showed constant |
| acceleration. (Sources: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; |
| Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1952: September-October, p. 82; |
| UNICAT, case # 750). |
| |
| 1954 - At around six o'clock in the morning Ulderico Cardinali, a |
| farmworker, was walking down a path in a marshy meadow in Castiglion |
| Della Pescaia, Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy. He entered a patch of fog |
| and started hearing a buzzing noise. When the fog became less dense, |
| he could see a strange object on the ground which he first thought |
| was a downed airplane. It resembled a large "plate" resting on the |
| ground; it was two meters wide and made of some sort of highly |
| polished material. There was a very peculiar looking creature |
| standing beside the craft, who appeared to be no taller than 1.40 |
| meters and was dressed in a yellowish-brown uniform. It seemed that |
| the being was performing some sort of task, moving about the craft. |
| Once it had stopped moving about it went inside the object, entering |
| a sort of cabin, and disappeared from sight. Then the object took off |
| from the location, emitting a slight buzzing noise and flying at very |
| low altitude, nearly brushing the tops of the trees in the meadow. |
| (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1954, case # |
| 1600, citing Maurizio Verga, ITACAT; Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, citing ITACAT). |
| |
| 1954 - At 10:30 a.m. a three-meter in diameter disc-shaped object |
| landed in the woods near Lalizolle, Allier, France. Dogs refused to |
| go near it. It left behind a three-meter wide area of flattened |
| grass. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 4048, citing |
| Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 128). |
| |
| 1954 - In Saint Etienne de Baigorry, Pyrenees-Atlantiques, France at |
| around 3:00 p.m. a shepherd watching his flock on a mountain peak |
| called “Moumboa”, located at about 800 meters, reported seeing two |
| “men” standing on the slope opposite him, looking around. At first he |
| thought they were excursionists, but he soon noticed a brown craft |
| shaped like a large shell between them, so he did not |
| dare approach. It was three to four meters in diameter and a little |
| more than a meter in height. In the center there was a small cabin, |
| and at the two ends he could distinguish a number of small |
| propellers. He said he did not notice any portholes. At the broad |
| back end there was a bent tripod. After awhile the two men approached |
| the machine, which they then placed upright on the tripod. The |
| witness supposed that the machine must have been made out of some |
| very light weight material. One of the men then opened a narrow door |
| and both individuals disappeared into the cabin. Without any noise |
| the two groups of propellers started to turn, but in opposite |
| directions. The machine took off vertically to an altitude of about |
| 100 meters, and then flew off quickly to the north. The two men were |
| similar to humans, Caucasian in appearance, and between 1.70-1.75 |
| meters tall. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, computerized catalog (N=3073), |
| case 1793, citing Jimmy Guieu; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1954, citing Jean Sider). |
| |
| 1954 - At 5:30 p.m. in Les Egots, Rhone, France near Sainte |
| Catherine, a child saw a man emerge from a strange craft. He was |
| "dressed in red, his clothes looked like iron." He walked |
| stiff-legged, and had long hair and a hairy face. His eyes were |
| large, "like those of the cows." (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia, A Century of Landings, pp. 237-238, case 305; David F. Webb |
| & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # |
| 1954-115 (A0323)). |
| |
| 1954 - On this night a small man with strange glowing eyes was seen |
| on the Mediterranean shore in Ain-el-Turck, Oran, Algeria. (Sources: |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 237, |
| case 304; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case # 1954-116 (A0325)). |
| |
| 1954 - Between Biozat and Effiat, Puy-de-Dome, France at nine o'clock |
| in the evening, on the road from Clermont to Vichy, the engine of a |
| motor scooter died when an egg-shaped object took off from the side |
| of the road and rose without a noise, leaving a bright trail behind. |
| (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia, A Century of Landings, |
| p. 238, case 306; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle |
| Interference, p. 4). |
| |
| 1954 - At 9:00 p.m. a doctor driving his car in Pancole, Tuscany, |
| Italy saw a luminous globe stop at 20 meters altitude, just 50 meters |
| away. It took off when he stopped his car. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case #4055, citingMaurizio Verga, ITACAT). |
| |
| 1954 - At first, a dull white aluminum colored UFO was |
| seen zig-zagging in the sky, starting at one o'clock in the |
| afternoon, over Gravatai Air Force Base in Porto Alegre, Brazil.  It |
| began making fast, tight circular turns through the clear blue sky, |
| and kept up this behavior for over two hours. There was a misty halo |
| around the object when it moved. A second UFO arrived sometime after |
| two hours had elapsed, and circled the first one. (Sources: Donald E. |
| Keyhoe, Flying Saucer Conspiracy, p. 212; Richard Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, p. 119; UNICAT, case 561; Richard F. Haines, Project Delta: |
| A Study of Multiple UFO, p. 104; Robert Gribble, MUFON UFO Journal, |
| October 1989, p. 23). |
| |
| 1963 - Cupar, Fife, Scotland. No time given. Brothers A. McLean, age |
| 12, and G. McLean, age 8 saw a moving light in the sky for an |
| unspecified length of time. No further details are found in the Air |
| Force files, but Project Blue Book chief Major Hector Quintanilla |
| wrote a letter to the youngsters that this was "one of the most |
| complete" of the unexplained cases for the year! (Sources: Project |
| Blue book files counted in official statistics, case # 8604; Richard |
| Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 129; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO |
| Unknowns; Lloyd Mallan, Official Guide to UFOs, p. 28). |
| |
| 1967 -  At 4:10 a.m. two police officers chased a pulsating bright |
| flying cross-shaped UFO across farmland between Okehampton |
| and Holsworthy in Devon, England. It maneuvered at low altitude over |
| the treetops, and a second cross appeared after the first had gone. |
| (Sources: Flying Saucer Review, November-December 1967, p. 5). |
| |
| 1967 - At 10:15 p.m. a 30 foot in diameter round or disc-shaped |
| object was seen in Buston, Derby, England. There was a yellow glow |
| from the rear of the object that "caused treetops to bend." (Source: |
| NICAP UFO Investigator, February 1968, p. 8). |
| |
| 1967 - A huge disc-shaped object was seen by four teenagers southeast |
| of Lumsden, Saskatchewan, Canada at 9:10 p.m. It hovered and then |
| landed remotely. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, January-February 1968, |
| p. 1; Jim & Coral Lorenzen, UFOs over the Americas, p. 174). |
| |
| 1967 - At 9:30 p.m. Donald Chiszar, age 13, and Pat Crosier, age 10, |
| reported seeing a large light that came closer and hovered over a |
| house in Newfield, New York only 50 yards away. It was a round object |
| with a cupola and antenna on top, and it had an oblong box on the |
| bottom with red, green, and white lights. It was of a dull silver |
| color, about 30 feet in diameter and 6-8 feet high. Around the rim |
| were square shaped red and white lights. It tilted toward them, and |
| they could see two big, square windows separated by a bar  in the |
| dome. Through these windows two humanoid beings were visible, each |
| less than 5'7" tall, with "rocky or bumpy" skin of a chocolate brown |
| color. They stood motionless, peering out, while several additional |
| shadows shadows were seen moving behind them. Knobs and electronic |
| equipment were visible inside the lighted section. The domed disc |
| hovered in the same spot for about two minutes, tilted upward in the |
| rear. Then the rim lights became very bright, it assumed a horizontal |
| attitude, and shot away at great speed "like a puff of wind." The |
| following night, Chiszar told investigators he saw two more of the |
| same flying objects. The boys claimed their walkie-talkies |
| malfunctioned during the observation, and a nearby dog was barking. |

| Science & Mechanics, August 1968, p. 51; Jim & Coral Lorenzen, UFOs |
| Over the Americas, pp. 179-180; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: |

| William Donovan for NICAP, Dr. Roy Craig & Dr. Fred Ahrens for the |
| Colorado UFO Study; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II. A |

| |
| 1967 - On this evening George W. Ritter and three other soldiers were |
| on guard duty at the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation in |
| California when they all observed an orange fluorescent oval-shaped |
| craft slowly approach, leaving a trail behind it. A hatch opened in |
| the bottom of the craft and five small drones dropped out of it. |
| These formed into a V formation and began hovering above the |
| witnesses. As the men looked up they became mesmerized, and Ritter |
| began hearing a "blip-blip" sound like sonar. All four felt paralyzed |
| at this point. Ritter's next recollection was of being abruptly |
| lifted up into one of the objects. He then found himself lying on the |
| floor of the craft with a Grey humanoid looking down on him. The |
| other three soldiers were nowhere in sight. The being had large black |
| oval-shaped eyes, grayish skin, and did not appear to be wearing any |
| clothing. He saw three other similar smaller creatures that appeared |
| to be assistants. He next heard a voice in his head telling him that |
| he was not going to be hurt. Inside the object there was a misty |
| weird light, resembling a black light. He was then given a shot in |
| his thigh near the groin, and then one of the beings came up to his |
| left side and somehow put his whole hand inside the upper left side |
| of his chest. After some time he was taken into another room where he |
| saw a bright ball of light; it communicated telepathically with |
| Ritter and emanated a sensation of energy and love. Ritter was |
| told that "something wonderful was going to happen" in the near |
| future  His next recollection was of standing back on the ground, |
| looking up, but the objects had gone. He and the other men reported |
| the incident to the military authorities, and as a result Ritter |
| spent two months in a military mental hospital. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1967, case # 3337, citing Linda |
| Moulton Howe). |
| |
| 1970 - Two people were driving between farms on this evening outside |
| MacGregor, Manitoba when they sighted a glowing yellowish-white |
| football-shaped object resting on a nearby field. One of the |
| witnesses approached the object on foot but became frightened and ran |
| back to the car. As they drove away they noticed a silver-suited |
| figure walking towards them. They accelerated the vehicle and sped |
| away. Later one of them returned and saw the object hovering over the |
| area. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1970, |
| case # 994, citing Chris A. Rutkowski, Visitations? Manitoba UFO |
| Experiences). |
| |
| 1973 - At 7:15 a.m. a spinning, top-shaped object was seen in the sky |
| over the sea from the deck of the SS Waalekerk, off Genoa, Italy by |
| S. M. Saunders. (Source: J. Bernard Delair, UFO Register, volume 5 |
| (1974), case # 827). |
| |
| 1973 - An abduction was reported to have occurred in Millville, New |
| Jersey. (Source: Robert Gribble, UFO Reporting Center, case 244). |
| |
| 1973 - An woman in Frederickstown, Ohio was turning into the driveway |
| of her home at nine o'clock when the car lights fell on an object. It |
| was hovering approximately 20 feet over an open area of her backyard. |
| Something "lit up" and the light became too bright to be merely the |
| reflection of her car's headlights. The UFO was about 30 feet long |
| and resembled an airplane's fuselage without wings, with an "open |
| cockpit" at one end. Inside she was able to see three "hooded |
| figures." She hurried into her house and when she looked out through |
| a window, the object had vanished. (Source: Columbus Dispatch, |
| September 19, 1976; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-110 (A1264), citing CCAP of Columbus, |
| Ohio). |
| |
| 1973 - At 8:45 p.m. there were a rash of UFO sightings by at least 50 |
| citizens as well as police in Mount Airy, Surry County, North |
| Carolina. They encountered round, red-orange objects engaged in rapid |
| flight and erratic maneuvers. (Sources: Atlanta Journal-Constitution, |
| October 26, 1973; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II. A |
| Thirty Year Report, pp. 175, 344). |
| |
| 1973 - David Simpson's car engine stopped and the headlights went out |
| on Highway 601 when an oval-shaped UFO landed near his car on this |
| night at 9:00 p.m. near Dobson, Surry County, North Carolina. It was |
| 12 feet wide by 8 feet high. A humanoid with eyes "like balls of |
| fire" peered at him through his car window. Afterwards the car's |
| engine and lights came back on without him having to touch the |
| ignition switch. (Sources: Mount Airy News, November 30, 1973; George |
| D. Fawcett, Skylook, January 1974, p. 14; David F. Webb, The Year of |
| The Humanoids, case 73-37; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |

| UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 59; Richard H. |
| Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, pp. 255, |
| 344, 488). |
| |
| 1973 - At 7:00 p.m. in Griffith Park, California two people watched a |
| large round object at very low altitude. Both witnesses were scared |
| by the object, as were some nearby horses. (Source: Santa Ana |
| Register, October 31, 1973 & November 8, 1973; Ann Druffel, FSR, June |
| 1975, p. 6). |
| |
| 1973 - At 11:00 p.m. in Sigsbee, Georgia an ovoid object sat on |
| highway SR133 at a bridge for two minutes before taking off. There |
| were several witnesses, including a separate independent witness |
| nearby. (Sources: Flying Saucers, May 1974, p. 39; Michael Hitt, |
| Georgia UFO Phenomenon 1947-1987, p. 70). |
| |
| 1973 - At 11:30 p.m. in Gibsonville, Guilford County, North Carolina |
| a police officer driving on Highway 100 had his patrol car engine |
| stall when he had a close encounter with a bright light. (Sources: |
| Burlington Times News, October 27, 1973; Geoffrey Falla, BUFORA |
| Vehicle Interference Project, p. 68). |
| |
| 1976 - At 10:30 p.m. Romeo Lucarelli was driving home from Hestroff |
| to Hobling, Moselle, France with his little daughter when he saw two |
| lights ahead, which he first took to be a car parked on a hilltop. As |
| he approached, he realized that it was a dumbbell or cigar-shaped UFO |
| about 15 meters long, hovering in the air about 100 meters altitude. |
| After he had passed it by it began to follow him, and the UFO passed |
| over his car so as to be in front of him. He signalled with |
| his headlights, and then saw in the middle of the dumbbell a |
| rectangular “screen” or window feebly lit by an orange light, in |
| which the silhouettes of two occupants appeared, as if looking at |
| him. He came to the village of Hobling and drove to his house, |
| and the UFO was now hoveriong above his garage, so he pointed it out |
| to his wife who was home at the time. She went and brought him the |
| binoculars, but just as soon as he was about to use them the UFO |
| “turned out its lights.” They next heard a dull humming sound. At the |
| spot at which he had first sighted the UFO three circular landing |
| marks were found; each consisted of two tangential double circles of |
| crushed grass, the outer ones about three feet larger in radius than |
| the inner ones, and the entire area was about 50 feet wide. (Sources: |
| Lumieres dans la Nuit, November 1977; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1976-95 (A1685), |
| citing G. Bretelle & B. Wagner). |
| |
| 1978 - Between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. two fishermen in a boat in |
| Grottammare, Marche, Italy saw a 20 meter long, dark object emerge |
| from the Adriatic Sea and hover for 30 seconds. It then dove back |
| down to a depth of 20 meters. (Sources: Allen Hendry, International |
| UFO Reporter, October 1979, p. 17; Larry Hatch, U computer database, |
| case # 12895; Lumieres dans la Nuit, October 1981). |
| |
| 1978 - At 7:45 p.m. a witness driving in a car had a close encounter |
| with physiological effects with a four-meter in diameter orb that was |
| hovering low by some telephone lines in Compigny, Yonne, France. The |
| driver felt an intense cold in the presence of the UFO, which shot up |
| vertically after a couple of minutes. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case # 12895; Lumieres dans la Nuit, December |
| 1979, issue 191). |
| |
| 1981 - Two men were fishing close to the mouth of the River Salso |
| near the city of Licata, Sicilia, Italy around 7:45 p.m. when they |
| noticed some lights emerging from the sea. Five minutes later they |
| noticed emerging from the surface three bright lights or forms that |
| approached their position. One of the men grabbed a flashlight and |
| pointed it towards the source of the lights. He was now able to see a |
| two-meter tall humanoid standing in water up to its knees. The |
| creature appeared hairy and was apparently only seen by one of the |
| men, who felt a mysterious attraction towards the creature and the |
| lights. Frightened, he fled the scene along with the other man who |
| had only seen the lights. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1981, case # 1524, citing Maurizio Verga, ITACAT). |
| |
| 1981 - Two young men traveling on an isolated stretch of road near |
| Port Lincoln, South Australia stopped their vehicle at 9:30 p.m. |
| after one of them reported seeing what appeared to be a "flare" in |
| the sky to his left, southeast towards Spencer Gulf. They stopped and |
| both saw a second light that moved around and flew up and down the |
| hills and gullies, before stopping in one particular gully. They |
| continued to watch for a while before setting off again. The two |
| talked about what they had seen, and shortly one of them felt like |
| stopping again. What happened next was a missing time and abduction |
| experience that was hard for them to explain. He recalls "drifting |
| off" into a white endless space. He knew he was there but he couldn't |
| move. A figure 1.2 meters tall walked up the road and stopped in |
| front of him. It looked like it was wearing a toga like the Romans |
| wore. It stood there for a while before vanishing. The other man woke |
| up and sat for a while before his friend asked, "What happened"? He |
| recalled walking into a big white room and also had vague |
| recollections of an entity, seen as an outline standing some 15 |
| meters away from the car. They had several hours of unaccounted for |
| time. (Sources:  Keith Basterfield, UFO Research Australia, July |
| 1982, p. 4; Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions:  The Measure of a |
| Mystery, case 57). |
| |
| 1982 - At 6:20 a.m. an unidentified object shaped like two globes |
| connected by a nozzle with four tubes, buzzed a light aircraft being |
| flown by a student pilot and a flight instructor southeast of Lowell, |
| Indiana. The two men reported that they felt heavy turbulence from |
| the object, and their altimeter malfunctioned. The craft made complex |
| maneuvers for several minutes, and climbed at a speed of 6000 feet |
| per second. (Sources: Mark Remaley, International UFO Reporter, May |
| 1983, p. 4; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 51; |
| Richard F. Haines, A Preliminary Report of 64 Pilot Sightings |
| Involving EM Effects on Aircraft, p. 50; UNICAT, case # 10). |
| |
| 1988 - An abduction by aliens with a physical exam occurred on this |
| night in Adelaide, South Australia. A man awoke and became aware of a |
| a group of short humanoid beings at the foot of his bed. Three or |
| four of them stood back, but one approached him. The being who |
| approached was one meter in height, with a large head and big eyes, |
| and appeared to be surrounded by what looked like a glowing white |
| light. He suddently felt overwhelmed with fatigue, and passed out or |
| fell back asleep. He awoke in a sterile type room, and was given a |
| medical exam. The light in the room was so bright he could not see |
| his surroundings. This was followed by a period of missing time, and |
| he recovered consciousness back in his bed two hours later; his arm |
| was paralyzed. (Sources: Keith Basterfield, citing Golden Age, |
| February 10, 1989; John F. Schuessler, UFO-Related Human |
| Physiological Effects, p. 101). |
| |
| 1988 - A large luminous UFO landed in a park in Sevan, Armenia, and |
| then took off again. Black pumice and burnt soil was found at the |
| landing site. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 14691, |
| citing Richard F. Haines, JUSA-CISAAF Translations, p. 401). |
| |
| 1988 - At 9:00 p.m. CDT in Skene, Mississippi a 20-year-old man was |
| at home studying when he heard a low hum. He went outside to check on |
| the source of the noise, and he saw a 32 meter in diameter |
| cone-shaped object with colored lights, flying over his home at only |
| 150 feet altitude. He watched it move across sky until it went behind |
| some trees. (Sources: James A. Scarborough, MUFON field investigation |

| |
| 1988 - In Valparaiso, Florida at 9:30 CDT a U.S. Air Force housewife |
| with an M.B.A. witnessed light beams moving past her second story |
| window. She looked out and saw a silent rectangular object hovering |
| outside. It had a dull gray surface and was about 100 feet long, |
| three feet high, and three to four feet deep. It had three white |
| lights side-by-side at one end. Surprisingly, her dog and car wanted |
| to approach the craft. (Sources: Dan Wright, MUFON UFO Journal, |

| |
| 1989 - At 6:15 a.m. a boomerang-shaped object was observed 50 |
| nautical miles south of Ord, Indiana from a commercial aircraft, |
| CONNAIR flight 440, flying at 9,000 feet as it passed the plane. A |
| vertical light beam and sparks were observed coming from the object. |

| 1993 - A close encounter with a 100 foot long craft occurred in the |
| suburbs of Union Grove, North Carolina at 8:45 p.m. The three |
| sketches by the witnesses depict a V formation of white lights that |
| behaved as if they were part of a single, solid triangular craft. It |
| flew at a slow speed, at 150 feet altitude, and made a 90 degree |
| turn. A faint hum was heard coming from the object. The encounter |
| lasted 30 seconds. (Source: Barbara Thompson, MUFON field |

| 1998 - At 8:30 p.m. a woman in Grand Mere, Quebec, Canada saw two |
| entities that were wearing white astronaut outfits with helmets on |
| their heads. One of the beings was leaned over and looked to be |
| picking something up from the ground. The other stood nearby. When |
| the beings walked they seemed to float just above the ground. Their |
| size and appearance were similar to humans. About 75 feet behind them |
| there was a thick brown fog made up of different bright colors with a |
| bright glow about 27 feet in diameter. She watched them for five |
| minutes before leaving the window. When she returned the entities had |
| gone and the strange fog was moving away. Investigators found ground |
| traces and footprints. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1998, case #3379, citing Skyopen #62). |

| Bend, Arizona, a black, squat, triangular object with no lights, was |
| seen emitting a smoke-like, dark mist or fog. (Source: Peter |
