| |
| 1952 - At 7:40 p.m. in Fayetteville, Georgia on highway 85 USAF Lt. |
| James Allen watched an 80 foot long orange, blimp-shaped object. It |
| flew at treetop level and crossed over Allen's car. As Lt. Allen's |
| car passed underneath it his radio went completely dead. The UFO |
| hovered for 20 seconds, then climbed up at a 45 degree angle and |
| climbed out of sight at a tremendous speed in 30-40 seconds. The |
| sighting lasted one minute. (Sources: U.S. Air Force Project Blue |
| Book files counted in official statistics, case # 2200; J. Allen |
| Hynek, The Hynek UFO Report, p. 191; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports |

| |
| 1953 - At Logansville, Ohio at 7:30 p.m. a huge, Ferris wheel shaped |
| object with many multicolored lights appeared in the sky. It's |

| Mr. Pecquet, saw an oval object on the ground in Corrompu, Somme, |
| France. When it took off the lights of a tractor went out. It |
| measured about 4.5 meters (15 feet) in length and emitted a bright |
| light similar to a welder's torch. It came back, turned, and flew off |
| toward the southwest. It reportedly made the same noise as a swarm of |
| bees. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, p. 240, case 323; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving |
| Vehicle Interference, p. 5). |
| |
| 1957 - At midnight in Longchaumois, France a businessman and his wife |
| saw a large, lighted object with openings, which hovered, came to |
| ground level, and took off with a great increase in brightness as it |
| flew away at very high speed, but without noise. (Source: Jacques |
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 261, case 416, |

| flying at two kilometers altitude in Caledon East, Ontario but it |
| quickly descended to just four meters above the ground. It flew |
| up-and-down by sudden jumps at the ground level, less than 200 meters |
| away, for five minutes. It had a red light at one end that changed to |
| a fiery color, then the object exploded. The witness ran. (Source: |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 473, |
| citing US Air Force ATIC). |
| |
| 1959 - Two brothers with the last name of Hawkins were followed for |
| 95 kilometers between Marton and Matamata, New Zealand by a luminous |
| object that looked like a large street lamp. The UFO maneuvered |
| around their car when they stopped near Oningaiti, New Zealand and it |
| ascended vertically at daybreak. The incident began at 4:15 a.m. and |
| continued until the break of day. (Source: Peter Rogerson, World-Wide |

| child saw a luminous object resembling a huge aluminium ball near the |
| Peropava River in Iguape, Sao Paulo state, Brazil. It "writhed and |
| struggled" in the air, hit a palm tree, changed direction while |
| spinning, crossed to the other side of the river, and plunged into |
| the water. The water seemed to boil after the object fell into the |
| water. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, January-February 1964, pp. 1-2; Jim & |
| Coral E. Lorenzen, UFOs over the Americas, p. 53; Ivan T. Sanderson, |

| September 1973, p. 27). |
| |
| 1971 - At 8:30 p.m. a witness out for a walk in Tinley Park, Illinois |
| saw three lights in the sky that got closer together, very low in |
| sky. A lot of dogs started barking wildly at the time. The UFO leaned |
| toward the witness, 200 feet away, revealing a disk silhouette. The |
| witness got scared, then it backed away, and floated out of sight. |
| (Source: Jay Rath, The I-Files: True Reports of Unexplained Phenomena |
| in Illinois, pp. 86-87, citing NUFORC). |
| |
| 1973 - At around 1:30 a.m., while they were driving to Tostado from |
| Reconquista, Santa Fe Province, Argentina on Route 98, Alphonzo L. |
| and his wife saw, about 400 meters away something that looked like a |
| railway car, but with a double row of small windows. It was weakly |
| illuminated by a yellowish light. Inside it they could make out a |
| group of humanoid beings of tall stature, moving around in a hurried |
| manner. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case # 1973-109 (A1600), citing Dr. Roberto |
| Banchs). |
| |
| 1976 - At about 6:00 p.m. the witness was being driven back home by |
| her husband on his motorcycle, and was going west on Figueroa Avenue |
| in Los Angeles, California. As they drove in front of a hotel, she |
| looked up and saw a metallic disc-shaped craft, shooting up from |
| behind the buildings. The object remained at a height of 100 feet as |
| it traveled in a straight line, occasionally dipping by 30 feet. |
| Rounding a curve, the sun shone on the object, and it appeared to |
| turn transparent. Inside, she was able to see three or four human |
| like figures. Two of them were looking at her, and they were leaning |
| over a console or platform. She commented that the men looked very |
| handsome. She gave them the peace sign, but they did not respond, |
| displaying no emotion just curiosity. The couple attempted to follow |
| the object but eventually lost sight of it. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, 1976 Humanoid Contact database, case # 3578, citing NUFORC). |
| |
| 1976 - Woody Polston's abduction occurred on this night from a |
| campsite in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. He made contact with |
| a big cylindrical kind of disc-shaped object, then a second huge |
| craft. He watched the two craft for 2-3 minutes before he entered |
| a semi-conscious state, followed by his alien abduction experience |
| for the next 12 hours. After the abduction he was plaged by |
| nightmares, and his watch was affected. The watch was 10 hours slow. |
| (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case # A2142, citing R. Leo Sprinkle). |
| |
| 1978 - A group of ten youngsters were sitting around chatting in a |
| field in Loose Valley, near Maidstone, Kent, England at around |
| midnight. After about 45 minutes of talk a boy named Will leapt to |
| his feet and began slapping his head, saying that there was a bee in |
| his hair. He looked absolutely terrified. A girl named Dorothy and |
| another witness then saw a tall, thin figure wearing a hat, "dancing" |
| behind him. Will said later that it was as if a terrifically loud |
| buzzing was coming up through the top of his head. However, only one |
| other person present, Rachel, heard any buzzing. Partially satisfied |
| that they had stumbled on a bee's nest they moved a distance away. As |
| they moved Dorothy and Will saw a ring outlined in the grass that |
| enclosed where they had been sitting. Eventually it started to rain, |
| so the group headed for Rachel's house. As they left one of the young |
| men turned around and saw the same thin black figure walk across the |
| opening between some trees to where they had been sitting. |
| |
| Later, while sitting in Rachel's bedroom, one of the young men looked |
| at Will and saw an amorphous black blob drop out of his hair onto the |
| bed. He was the only one who saw this. A few seconds later a black |
| shape started whizzing around the room. The main movement was from |
| bottom left to top right and getting larger during its flight. This |
| created a great fright among those present. Altogether four witnessed |
| this strange phenomenon. Later on the girls slept in a room together, |
| and Rachel and Dorothy again saw a black blob in the curtains during |
| the night. Upon awakening, one of the young men saw the thin black |
| figure silhouetted against some wardrobe doors. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, citing Fortean Times |
| Magazine On-line). |
| |
| 1981 - Shortly after 9 p.m. a huge, bright, round object was observed |
| flying at 180 meters altitude through the sky in Marcos Juarez, |
| Cordoba, Argentina. It was witnessed by Pedro Heslop of Austral |
| Airlines and Alberto Paracampo of Aerolineas Argentinas, pilots |
| of commercial flights coming in for landings. (Sources: Joe Graziano, |
| APRO Bulletin, March 1982, p. 6; Richard H. Hall, UFO Evidence, |
| Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, p. 125). |
| |
| 1981 - A UFO near Parnarama, Maranhao State, Brazil emitted an |
| intense glare that caused the witness to feel an electric shock, |
| increased body heat, loss of speech, paralysis and weight loss. |
| (Source: John F. Schuessler, UFO-Related Human Physiological Effects, |
| p. 96, citing El Comercio, Quito, Ecuador, November 4, 1981). |
| |
| 1983 - An F-5E interceptor was scrambled by the Brazilian Air Force |
| as many witnesses in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil reported a silvery spot |
| maneuvering over city at 5:10 p.m. The official explanation was |

| (Source: Irene Granchi, APRO Bulletin, July 1984, p. 1). |
| |
| 1983 - Police officer Hamel and several other witnesses observed an |
| octagon-shaped ovoid at 8:30 p.m. low over trees and buildings in |

| Bulletin, September 1984, p. 7). |
| |
| 1984 - At 8:45 p.m. the entire staff of radio station WVIP saw a |
| brilliant, 100-yard-wide triangle flying over Mount Kisco, New York, |
| going north. Ms. Bellatoni, a news reporter, had just left the Mount |
| Kisco police station when she saw a solid object with more than 12 |
| lights in a V-formation. One dozen more people watched it with her. |
| Mr. Wescon, a 44-year-old engineer, watched the 12 or more lights in |
| the V-formation fly over his location; it had steady red and white |
| lights. When the object stopped to hover, its lights began to flash. |
| (Source: J. Allen Hynek, Philip J. Imbrogno, and Bob Pratt, Night |
| Seige: The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings, pp. 150-158). |
| |
| 1987 - A hovering object was seen on Halloween night over Wytheville, |
| Virginia It shot off and broke sound barrier, rattling windows in |
| homes in the town. (Source: Danny B. Gordon, Don't Look Up!  The Real |
| Story Behind the Virginia UFO Sightings, p. 40). |
| |
| 1989 - A woman named Iva Gospina, who had previously witnessed |
| various UFOs maneuvering over the area of Brovary, Kiev region, |
| Ukraine, woke up in the early morning hours around three a.m. feeling |
| apprehensive, and suspecting someone had broken into her apartment. |
| She checked around the apartment and found her family sleeping, and |
| everything else seemed in order. She then looked out the window, and |
| noticed to her surprise a short woman wearing a tight-fitting black |
| suit standing at her door. The woman had long straight white hair |
| down to her shoulders; there also appeared to be a small black dog |
| standing next to the woman, but since it was dark the witness could |
| not see any other details. Still feeling apprehensive, she walked |
| back into the living room and attempted to sleep on the couch. |
| Suddenly, a large luminous yellow circle slowly entered through the |
| closed blinds of the window. Three figures, similar to people, then |
| appeared standing on her carpet. The figures wore divers suits |
| similar to cosmonauts or robots, and were approximately 140-150 cm in |
| height. Two of them wore diving suits similar in color to frosted |
| glass, and the third wore a golden, scaly suit. The yellow light was |
| now arranged in a semi-circle above the figures heads. The beings |
| stood quietly without moving or speaking. In a state of panic she |
| mentally commanded the figures to depart. Immediately they vanished, |
| and the luminous yellow circle floated slowly out the window. The |
| room became absolutely dark again. Iva stood up and rushed to the |
| window, feeling some regret that the figures had left, and she yelled |
| out for them to return in despair, thinking that she had lost a |
| unique chance in her life to communicate with extraterrestrial |
| beings. Later that night as she attempted to sleep she heard and |
| “felt” a large figure enter her room and stand over her. She then |
| felt completely paralyzed and was unable to move, and couldnt even |
| open her eyes from fear. Again she panicked and mentally commanded |
| the alien to leave. The next morning she learned from her neighbors |
| that a red luminous object had been seen hovering over the area. She |
| then believed that the three aliens who had entered her apartment had |
| come in peace, and she regretted panicking during her contact |
| experience. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1989 Humanoid Sighting |
| Reports database, citing UFO Ukraine, Interesting Newspaper D-8 |
| block, Kiev, issue # 8, 1999). |
| |
| 1989 - On this night a local bookkeeper, X. Saidov, spotted a large |
| dazzling object descending towards the ground in Mezhriybaza, |
| Uzbekistan. After the object landed, a tall, robot-like being wearing |
| a silvery suit emerged from the object. Terrified, Saidov was unable |
| to move, and apparently next lost consciousness. Waking up later, he |
| found himself in a desert-like location standing among the sand |
| dunes. He could see hills and pyramids around him. He saw a man and |
| woman exit one of the pyramids, but he remained paralyzed, and felt |
| the ground under him become soft. He soon lost consciousness again. |
| Later, he found himself standing next to his car close to the |
| village. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1989 Humanoid Sighting Reports |
| database, citing UFOFORUM, Russia). |
| |
| 1989 - On this evening a couple was watching several hovering orange |
| lights in a "W” formation in Greenville, South Carolina, and decided |
| to videotape them. Later, while playing back the results, they |
| discovered a small, two-foot tall humanoid figure running past their |
| bedroom window on the SW corner of the house. The figure appeared to |
| be holding his arms up to his face. (Sources: MUFON UFO Journal, |
| February 1990; Paul Ferrughelli, Computer Catalog of UFO Reports, |
| 1988-94, case # 150, citing Current Affair TV show; Albert S. |
| Rosales, 1989 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, case # 509, |
| citing Strange Magazine, issue # 6). |
| |
| 1990 - An employee at a local forestry preserve was doing some work |
| at the pheasant hatchery in County Tipperary, Ireland at 6:30 p.m. |
| when he noticed a yellowish light fall into the forest area. He |
| rushed over to the site in his truck, thinking that it might have |
| been a plane crash. Arriving there, he saw no trace of an aircraft, |
| but did see a 5-foot-tall man sitting on a wooden railing that |
| surrounded that part of the forest. The man had long hair and wore |
| brand new, large jeans and a checkered shirt. Questioning the man, |
| the witness was told that he was just there to help the poplar trees |
| in the forest. He acted in a strange fashion and proceeded to explain |
| to the witness in very scientific terms ways the method to cure and |
| correct tree disease. The witness felt that this last part of the |
| experience had a dream-like quality to it. He last saw the short man |
| walk off into the forest and disappear. Later the witness saw a |
| bright light zigzagging over the forest. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| 1990 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, case # 335, citing Diane |
| Tessman, UFO Universe, Winter 1993). |
| |
| 1992 - On this evening a witness driving a pickup truck on a rural |
| road on Gaither Mountain, Arkansas saw, standing by the roadway, a |
| short gray-skinned humanoid with a large head and huge black eyes |
| only 15 feet away. The witness apparently blacked out and experienced |
| at least 30 minutes of missing time. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1992 |
| Humanoid Sighting Reports database, case # 272, citing Francis L. |
| Ridge, UFO Intelligence Newsletter, 4-1993). |
| |
| 1995 - At 7:00 p.m. in Tacoma, Washington a witness called the UFO |
| Reporting Center to report a bright ball of light landing in a nearby |
| field. Two hours later a second witness saw a nocturnal light zigzag |
| through the sky and shoot off into the distance. (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). |

| 2001 - Derek Holmes, age 66, spotted a round, white airborne object |
| with curved edges while driving while driving home on Bonsall Moor, |
| Cromford, Derbyshire, England at 10:32 p.m. Slowing down, he looked |
| but could not find a safe place to stop on the narrow road to capture |
| the brilliant image on filme. Despite having a camera with him in the |
| car, he was too slow to get a photo. The size of the light went down, |
| as if someone hit a dimmer switch, and it went yellow. It moved into |
| the distance and then disappeared. (Source: George A. Filer & David |
| E. Twichell, Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, p. |
| 136). |
| |
| 2001 - A huge triangular-shaped object with a white light in the |
