|  September 10 |
| |
| 1951 - U.S. Air Force pilots Lt. Wilbert Rogers and Major Ezra |
| Ballard were flying in a T-33 at 20,000 feet from Dover AFB when at |
| 11:35 a.m. EDT they saw a silvery metallic disc-shaped object to |
| their 11 o'clock position and below their aircraft, three miles |
| northeast of Sandy Hook, New Jersey. It was silhouetted against the |
| ground. Rogers immediately turned left and descended to intercept the |
| craft, which then banked revealing its flat round profile, with no |
| appendages. The UFO curved in a tight turn, covering an estimated 30 |
| nautical miles in two minutes at a speed estimated between |
| 1,000-1,500 mph. The object passed within about 8,000 feet distance |
| of the T-33, descending from about 12,000 feet to 5000 feet and |
| heading out to sea at high speed near Point Pleasant. The aerial |
| sighting lasted two minutes and was rated a high reliability unknown |
| by Project Blue Book and Dr. James McDonald. (Sources: Edward J. |
| Ruppelt, True Magazine, May 1954; Edward J. Ruppelt, Report on |
| Unidentified Flying Objects, p. 127; UNICAT, case # 637, citing James |
| E. McDonald, 1968 Armed Services Committee Congressional Hearings, p. |
| 66; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 131; Brad Sparks, NICAP |
| 1951 UFO Chronology webpage). |
| |
| 1954 - Mourieras, France. A farmer, Mr. Mazaud, age 50, was walking |
| home when he was suddenly confronted with a helmeted being of average |
| height who made friendly gestures, then went back into the brush, |
| entered a cigar-shaped object about four meters long, which took off |
| toward Limoges. A few minutes later witnesses in Limoges reported a |
| disc-shaped, red object leaving a bluish trail. (Sources: Le |
| Parisien, September 14, 1954; Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the |
| Straight Line Mystery, p. 40; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia, p. |
| 209). |
| |
| 1954 - A metal worker, Marius Dewilde, age 34, came out of his house |
| in Quarouble, France at 10:30 p.m. when his dog was barking and saw a |
| dark object sitting on the railroad tracks. He then observed two |
| dwarfs walking toward it. When he tried to stop them, he found |
| himself blinded and paralyzed by a strong orange beam of light that |
| was projected at him. The beings were under 1 meter (3.3 feet) tall, |
| bulky, and wore dark diving suits with diver's helmets. No faces or |
| arms were visible. Imprints were made by an object, that an engineer |
| estimated must have weighed 30 tons. French police and the French Air |
| Force investigated the case. (Sources: Le Parisien, September 13, |
| 1954; Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. |
| 44; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia, p. 209; Richard H. Hall, The |
| UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 467). |
| |
| 1960 - In Ridgecrest, California at 9:50 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. M. G. |
| Evans sighted two light gray glowing objects, saucer or |
| boomerang-shaped, which made a swishing sound when accelerating. They |
| were seen for a couple of seconds each. (Source: Don Berliner, |
| Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1964 - Chemist P. H. De Paolo in Cedar Grove, New Jersey sighted four |
| white lights at 7:09 p.m. They were seen in the northern sky, heading |
| west for 45 seconds. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO |
| Unknowns). |
| |
| 1965 - Antonio Pau Ferro, a farmer, was working in his cornfield in |
| Sao Joao, Pernambuco State, Brazil at 8:30 in the morning when he |
| heard a rushing noise and saw two luminous discs five feet wide and |
| two feet thick, come down nearby. They discharged two small beings, |
| 27-31” tall, and then rose to hover at 15 feet. The entities had |
| reddish brown, wax-like complexions and wore tight fitting one |
| piece-outfits. They spoke an unknown language, smiled at the witness, |
| and picked a tomato; then the two discs came down and picked them up, |
| rising vertically with a whistling sound. The farmer said that they |
| appeared quite human, except for their strange skin color and their |
| size. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case 1965-50 (A0665), citing Walter Buhler, SBEVD; |
| Coral E. Lorenzen, Flying Saucer Occupants, p. 114; Tribuna Santo, |
| September 12, 1965; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A |
| Thirty Year Report, p. 472). |
| |
| 1965 - On this night a hovering object was seen from a street in |
| Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. It discharged yellow, blue, and orange |
| lights from slits around its circumference. Four people--a local |
| reporter, a bullfighter, and two taxi drivers--saw a creature with |
| glowing catlike eyes dressed in black, walking down the street. The |
| entity was holding a metallic tube. When they pursued the being |
| it vanished suddenly. (Sources: Chicago Tribune, October 14, 1965; |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case |
| 699). |
| |
| 1965 - On or about this date three women in Mexico City, Mexico were |
| said to have observed a group of giant beings, three meters tall, |
| without noses or mouths but with bright red eyes, wearing gray |
| uniforms and boots. No object was described. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 700). |
| |
| 1967 - At 6:03 p.m. flying over the Pyrenees Mountains in a DC-6 at |
| 16,000 feet altitude, 65 miles north of Reus, Tarragona, Spain three |
| men, Underhill, Hope and Dunlop, sighted an inverted flying cone, |
| silver on top, with a curved base, that looked metallic and solid. |
| Its minimum distance was estimated to be 1/2 mile, and it was moving |
| opposite to the plane. It was initially higher, then half a |
| mile below. The sighting lasted more than two minutes. (Sources: APRO |
| Bulletin, September-October 1967, p. 6; Alastair Prevost, Flying |

| Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 36) |
| |
| 1968 - On this night in Pergamino, Buenos Aires, Argentina J. |
| Bautista Perazzo allegedly had contact with extraterrestrial beings. |
| He said he was going along National Highway # 8 when he caught sight |
| of “the only UFO which has molested the earth in these past years.” |
| The alien crew contacted him and communicated with him orally in |
| perfect Castilian Spanish about his technical resources and their |
| purpose on our planet. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1968-96 (A1570), citing Carlos |
| Banchs). |
| |
| 1975 - On this evening two children in Moulin Sous Fleron, Liege, |
| Belgium were frightened by a being dressed entirely in black that |
| moved like an ape and jumped from the bushes in front of them. They |
| ran to a neighbor's house. Twenty minutes later the same being was |
| seen again by another witness, who reported that the being had thrown |
| rocks at him. No UFO was reported. (Sources: Awareness, April 1975, |
| p. 12; newspaper clipping in CUFOS files; David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # A1625; Albert |
| S. Rosales, 1975 Humanoid Contact Database, case # 1761, citing Denys |
| Breysse, Project Becassine). |
| |
| 1976 - Colusa, California. At 12:45 a.m. mechanic Bill Pecha and |
| other household members noticed a complete electrical system failure |
| in their mobile home. Next, stepping outside to check the circuit |
| breakers, he felt static electricity and spotted a brightly lit, 150 |
| foot domed disc-shaped object with a clockwise rotating rim hovering |
| almost overhead, just 50-60 feet away. The object had a red light in |
| front and other lights on either end, and the bright light that came |
| from the bottom of the object dimmed when hovering. On the underside |
| it had 6-8 dangling cables, and on each were two arms with hooks |
| which retracted when Pecha stepped toward the object. The object |
| retreated, moving slowly out over a field, with the cables still |
| retracting. The white light underneath intensified and a cone of |
| light was projected downward, but initially the beam was truncated |
| before reaching the ground. The object maneuvered above a neighbor's |
| house illuminating the ground with beams of light. Two other similar |
| UFOs were seen in the distance casting blue light beams down onto |
| power lines, and an arc of light was extending upward from the power |
| lines to the objects. When the object shot away at high speed to the |
| west, it lit up the foothills, then it rushed back over the |
| neighbor's property again as the other two, more distant object sped |
| away in different directions, and were gone in 30 seconds. The power |
| came back on in Mr. Pecha's mobile home; the entire elapsed time of |
| the close encounter was 9 minutes. (Sources: Colusa (CA) Sun-Herald, |
| September 12, 1976; Brad Sparks, CUFOS files, report dated October 3, |
| 1976; Paul C. Cerny, International UFO Reporter, January 1977, p. 6; |
| UNICAT, case 234; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II. A |
| Thirty Year Report, p. 39). |
| |
| 1977 - A beam of red light penetrated the roof of 32-year-old Beatriz |
| Almada da Costa's house in the village of Santo Antonio do Ubintuba, |
| Para State, Brazil at 7:30 p.m. As the beam struck her body, |
| paralysis spread throughout her body accompanied by chills |
| and shaking. (Source: Bob Pratt, Operacao Prato, p. 11). |
| |
| 1978 - At 4:40 p.m. two men were sitting at home watching |
| television in Las Salinas, San Miguel de Tucuman, Tucuman State, |
| Argentina when they starting having TV interference. They next |
| attempted to use a stereo player, and then the radio, but these did |
| not function properly either. They then heard some noises coming from |
| an adjoining shop that was connected to their house. When they went |
| to investigate, they found some broken bottles on the floor and some |
| other damage. Moments later, they became aware of presence of two |
| short beings standing nearby. These beings were dressed in bright |
| blue, one-piece suits, dark blue helmets, and high boots also bright |
| blue in color; on their arms they wore shiny black gauntlets that |
| went above the elbow. Their faces were brown and their complexion |
| seemed pockmarked, their eyes looked normal and their noses were |
| flat. One of the figures was holding an object that looked like a |
| "hair dryer", and was pointing it at the witnesses. Both men then |
| received a telepathic message warning them not to scream. At this |
| point one of the men ran for the door, and in response both |
| figures put their fingers up their noses and vanished instantly, |
| reappearing in a different location in the shop. They did |
| this several more times as the first witness, armed with a knife, ran |
| around trying to get out of the shop. Some empty crates were thrown |
| at the witnesses during the melee. They finally managed to |
| escape, and summoned the police who searched the premises but found |
| nothing. Neighbors had reported seeing strange lights in the area. |

| Reports, case A2251, citing Jorge Eduardo Catoja, FSR, Volume 28, |
| number 4; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, case # |
| 825, citing Jorge Eduardo Catoja). |
| |
| 1978 - At 8:30 p.m. in Port MacQuarie, New South Wales, Australia two |
| men sighted a hat-shaped disc, glowing on-and-off around the |
| perimeter, that dropped behind the treeline. It made no sound. |
| (Sources: Australia CUFOS files, report dated September 1978; ACOS |
| Bulletin, December 1978, p. 20). |
| |
| 1978 - At 9:22 p.m. a disc-shaped object was sighted in Poitiers, |
| Vienne, France by six witnesses. It made a pendulum wobble, and had |
| six lights arranged around the circumference on the bottom. There was |
| also an orange-yellow cigar-shaped object, and a triangle-shaped |
| object with a red tip, orange behind tip, and a yellow body. (Source: |
| Jacques Coudert, Ouranos, 1978, issue 24, p. 10). |
| |
| 1978 - In flight over Springfield, Missouri 30-year-old Richard Renne |
| sighted a yellow-white light at 8:30 p.m. that descended from 15,000 |
| feet to the altitude of his Beech Bonanza airplane (9500 feet). It |
| went below his tail, then to the 3 o'clock position, and then finally |
| ascended above 25,000 feet. Another second light flew around |
| erratically. (Sources: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, July |
| 1979, p. 11; UNICAT, case 128; Francis L. Ridge, Regional Encounters, |
| p. 73). |
| |
| 1978 - At 10:15 p.m. in Dearborn Heights, Michigan a postal clerk, |
| Mr. T. Atkins, and five other witnesses sighted a stationary |
| formation of red lights at a 45 degree elevation in the sky, that |
| blinked on-and-off 3-5 times in 15 minutes. They grew dimmer over |
| time, then disappeared. (Sources: Allan Hendry, International UFO |
| Reporter, July 1979, p. 11; UNICAT, case # 129). |
| |
| 1981 - At around 11:00 p.m. Denise Bishop, age 23, of Weston Mill, |
| Plymouth, Devonshire, England had a time distortion while in contact |
| with a pencil thin, green beam of light from a 125 foot wide, |
| metallic appearing UFO. It felt "as though a film had been stopped |
| and started again." The huge UFO was the "same shape as the body of a |
| crab", and it hovered over a hill of residential houses, emitting 6 |
| to 7 pink, purple and white light beams. The green beam of light from |
| the UFO hit her left hand, and she was unable to move. Some congealed |
| matter formed on her hand, causing a burn. She still had a burn on |
| her hand three months later that looked like a "pale birth mark." |
| (Sources: Joe Graziano, APRO Bulletin, March 1982, p. 7; UNICAT, case |
| 311, citing Robert Boyd; Timothy Good, Above Top Secret, p. 98; |

| pp. 271, 383). |
| |
| 1992 - On the beach on a clear, pre-dawn morning on Fenwick Island, |
| Delaware at around 4:00 a.m. a 36-year-old couple witnessed an object |
| shaped like two triangles connected by cylinder. Next, 10-12 |
| nocturnal lights joined the first object, and all went off rapidly to |
| the north-norheast. Fifteen minutes later a second object followed |
| same path. (Sources: Stephen Rosiak, MUFON field investigation case |
| files, case # 930105E; Donald Ware, MUFON UFO Journal, February 1993, |
| p. 14). |
| |
| 1992 - Driving to work in heavy traffic a 30-year-old female in |
| Honolulu, Hawaii watched a flying object pass down the length of the |
| freeway at 6:55 a.m. It was a star-shaped disc with 5 rounded points, |
| like a discoid with 5 bites taken out of it. (Sources: Michael Brein, |
| MUFON field investigation case files, case # 921009W; Donald Ware, |
| MUFON UFO Journal, February 1993, p. 14). |
| |
| 1993 - At 8:30 p.m. a large silver, disc-shaped object hovered at 300 |
| meters altitude over Surrey, Vancouver, British Columbia. Over 100 |
| witnesses watched lights dancing in the sky for the next two hours. |
| (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, January 1994). |
| |
| 2001 - A bread delivery man and a salesman had separate pre-dawn |
| highway encounters with two bright oncoming lights in Kanturk, County |
| Cork, Ireland; one reported it looked like a figure-8 on its side. |
| (Source: Dermot Butler, Conspiracy of Silence: UFOs in Ireland, p. |
| 113). |
| |
| 2002 - An airline captain of Aer Lingus flight EIN 566, taking off |
| from Dublin, Ireland at 2:20 p.m., reported a "paraglider" two miles |
| north of runway 10, at an estimated altitude of 1200 feet. A "very |
| slight radar echo" was also detected from the object. There were |
| ground witnesses as well. (Source: Dermot Butler, Conspiracy of |
| Silence: UFOs in Ireland, p. 52). |
| |
| 2002 - At dusk a black flying triangle with three white lights in a |
| triangle formation, and a faint steady red light in the center was |
| sighted in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. It made a flat, 45-degree |
| left hand turn without banking. Later that same evening, a |
| disc-shaped UFO changing colors from purple to green to blue, then |
| with a solid blue with red glow on the trailing edge was seen at |
| 10:50 p.m. on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. It moved overhead |
| to the west, then disappeared. It was fast but slower than a meteor. |
| (Source: George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's Files: |
| Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, pp. 66, 44). |
| |
| 2004 - At about 10:10 p.m. a witness saw a bright moving object in |
| the clear sky over Mount Cobb, Pennsylvania and called his mother and |
| two sones to come see. It was moving near the Big Dipper and changing |
| colors from green to red to dark orange to white, as though it were |
| spinning. Looking at it through binoculars it was a rounded triangle. |
| They could see the colors very clearly. On top of the object was a |
| very bright white light. It was hovering, then it moved from the left |
| to the right. The main color of the object was yellow. A military |
| aircraft was flying to the northwest, but this object flew southeast. |
| The strange object was much brighter, much bigger, and much higher |
| than the military planes. That same night many witnesses in Los |
| Angeles, California also saw a triangle UFO that came back the next |
| night as well. (Source: George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's |
| Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, p. 98 & 65, citing Brian |
| Vike, HBCC UFO Research and MUFON Los Angeles). |
