| |
| 1905 - An intensely dark object flew over Llangollen, Gwynedd, Wales |
| at an altitude over two miles. (Source: Desmond Leslie, Flying |
| Saucers Have Landed, p. 34). |
| |
| 1952 - At three o'clock in the morning Mr. Turason, a radar operator |
| working for ground control at Midway Airport in Chicago, Illinois |
| picked up 40 targets flying in miscellaneous directions, up to 175 |
| mph. Two of the blips seemed to fly in formation with a DC-6 |
| airliner. The radar sightings lasted a total of eight hours. |
| (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, |
| case 2025; UFOs: A History. 1952: September-October, p. 3; Don |
| Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - At 5:50 p.m. two military observers at Davis-Monthan AFB in |
| Arizona saw seven large saucer-shaped objects, identical in |
| appearance, in changing formations. When they changed direction for |
| the last time all of them vanished. (Sources: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A |
| History. September-October 1952, p. 7; Richard F. Haines, Project |
| Delta, p. 183; UNICAT, case 744). |
| |
| 1953 - At 9:14 p.m. at Sidi Slimane AFB, Morocco pilot Lt. Col. |
| William Moore and co-pilot Lt. J. H. McInnis, flying in a C-47 |
| transport plane at 140 mph at 6000 feet altitude on a training |
| mission, encountered a very bright light that appeared on a collision |
| course with their aircraft. At the last minute the UFO levelled out. |
| It subsequently made a 90 degree and then it executed a 180 degree |
| turn. It descended to 700 feet or less, slowed and seemed to hover. |
| (Sources: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 21; |
| UNICAT, case #  767; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1954 - Twelve-year-old John Jacob Swain of Coldwater, Kansas had just |
| finished driving a tractor at 10:00 p.m. when he saw a dark |
| complexioned little man about the size of a five year old child |
| crouching about 20 feet away. The man had pointed ears and a pointed |
| nose, and wore shiny clothing. He also was carrying two two-foot long |
| cylinders on his back. He ran or glided, apparently floating across |
| the ground, to a 50 foot wide disc-shaped object hovering five feet |
| above the ground. He jumped in and took off without tilting the |
| saucer. Lights shone from windows or the craft as it flew off faster |
| than a jet. At the site were found numerous pear-shaped footprints 2 |
| inches wide x 4.5 inches in length, with very narrow heels. (Sources: |
| Wichita Evening Eagle, September 8, 1954; Ted Phillips, Physical |
| Traces Associated with UFO Sightings, case 677; David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1954-46, citing |
| Sheriff Floyd Hadley & Rev. Albert Baller). |
| |
| 1956 - At 4:30 a.m. a six meter long ovoid UFO hovered 5 feet over a |
| golf course in Dayton, Ohio. It illuminated an area 40 feet wide. The |
| sighting lasted more than 30 minutes, but the UFO vanished when the |
| 19-year-old witness shone a light on it. A Project Blue Book |
| "unknown." (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case 4379; Jacques Vallee, Anatomy of a Phenomenon, p. |
| 135; Richard F. Haines, CE-5: Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, p. |
| 13). |
| |
| 1958 - At nine o'clock several violent bluish-white flashes were seen |
| at ground level in Docelles, France. The next day four deep |
| rectangular imprints were found in the ground at the site. The |
| imprints were five meters apart, and arranged in a square. (Source: |
| Lumieres dans la Nuit, September 1976). |
| |
| 1960 - In the middle of the night Mr. & Mrs. Palmes noticed a large |
| dark gray object, covered with tiles and as large as a three-storey |
| building, in a nearby field while driving down a highway north of |
| Bunnell, Florida. The UFO then came and hovered over road, only 30-50 |
| feet away. The car's lights and engine died. The wife recalls seeing |
| short people in tight-fitting uniforms, and her husband being in a |
| trance. There was an undisclosed period of missing time. (Source: |
| David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, |
| case A0504, citing Norman Bean, Skylook, August 1975, p. 9). |
| |
| 1967 - At 1:30 a.m. Ms. Barbara Ward, awakened by her baby, glanced |
| out her window on the Bentilee Estate, Stoke-on-Trent, England and |
| saw, a very bright yellow object with an orange light on top in the |
| adjacent field. It was shaped like an inverted saucer. It appeared to |
| be on the ground or just above it, and its light fluctuated in |
| intensity. She could hear no sound, though she was behind a glass |
| window. She reported to investigators Roger Stanway and Anthony Pace |
| that she "half imagined" she could see shadowy figures moving back |
| and forth in front of the bright light generated by the object. She |
| could not be certain because the bright light caused her eyes to |
| strain when looking at the object. After watching for half an hour |
| she became tired and went back to bed. The UFO had not moved during |
| her observation. Subsequent examination of the field failed to reveal |
| any traces. This sighting occurred during a spate of several UFO |
| incidents in the same area. (Sources: Roger Stanway & Anthony Pace, |
| UFOs Unidentified Undeniable, p. 11; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-87 (A0863), citing |
| Roger Stanway & Anthony Pace; UNICAT, case # 567). |
| |
| 1967 - On this night Nelson Gutierrez, a salesman, encountered a |
| landed UFO on the Plains Highway, near the Hato Viejo farm outside of |
| Caracas, Venezuela. A being emerged from the object, and according to |
| press acounts the witness claimed to have taken a photograph of the |
| being. A copy of this photograph was not made available, and the |
| photographer's intent was to sell it when he had it developed. |

| F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1967-89, citing Jim & Carol Lorenzen, UFOs Over the Americas, p. 78; |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # |
| 877). |
| |
| 1968 - A brilliant royal blue ball of light with a whitish-yellow |
| outer ring hovered in the northwestern sky over Lockleys, South |
| Australia for awhile, then dropped like a stone, veering to the left. |
| It made no sound and left no smoke trail. (Source: Michael Hervey, |
| UFOs over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 182). |
| |
| 1971 - On this night a 17-year-old woman named James witnessed a UFO |
| hanging motionless in the sky for more than 30 minutes over Great |
| Barr, England. It changed shape and color, and disappeared at high |
| speed. It had green L-shapes with red light at each end. It became |
| oblong, then cigar shaped. (Sources: Mrs. K. Smith, BUFORA Journal, |
| January 17, 1972, citing Birmingham Evening Mail, September 3, 1971; |
| Flying Saucers, March 1972, p. 13; FSR, January-February 1972, p. |

| |
| 1973 - On his way to work at 1:30 p.m. an older man driving south of |
| Milroy, Indiana a man saw a green, domed disc-shaped object descend |
| making a swishing sound, and he watched the object approach in his |
| car's rearview mirror. The UFO scooped up his car like a forklift. |
| The front and side windows were blacked out, and he could only see |
| out through the rear window. He had 95 minutes of missing time during |
| his abduction experience. (Sources: Richard Nottingham, MUFON field |
| investigation case file database, case 951112aC; David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A1220, citing |
| Don Worley for MUFON). |
| |
| 1973 - Residents of Big Bear Lake, California reported a series of |
| sightings starting at around 11:00 p.m. of unidentified objects with |
| flashing lights. A hovering multi-colored object was observed, with a |
| red color predominating. It was then revealed to be a red disc, which |
| began moving in various directions, then accelerated and sped away |
| toward the north. (Source: Big Bear News, September 27, 1973). |
| |
| 1975 - A silent, dark disc-shaped object was seen at 12:30 a.m. |
| pulsating on the roadside of a highway in Chesterland, Ohio. It then |
| hovered at treetop level, and shot straight up very quickly. (Source: |
| FSR, April 1976, p. 25, citing CUFOS). |
| |
| 1976 - At 5:00 a.m. a UFO with multiple lights was involved in a |
| close encounter in Jaca, Huesca, Spain. It moved toward the car of |
| two of the witnesses, circled around it, and then moved over it. A |
| truck driver was an independent witness. The UFO had a solid top, but |
| indistinct bottom; it was 7-8 meters in diameter, and made a soft |
| whistling sound. Physiological effects were reported. (Source: |
| UNICAT, case # 455, citing Stendek, December 1981, p. 7). |
| |
| 1978 - A metallic-looking, cigar-shaped object was seen taking off |
| from a field of maize at 8:10 a.m. in San Michele, Veneto, Italy. It |
| made a hissing sound. An area of crushed and dehydrated plants was |
| found at the landing site. It was 6.5 meters by 3 meters (20 feet x |
| 10 feet). There were reportedly several witnesses, including the main |
| witness, a 14-year-old named Pozzi. (Sources: FSR, March 1979, p. 6; |
| Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, October 1979, p. 14; |
| UNICAT, case # 108, citing Toselli, FSR;Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, pp. 265, 349). |
| |
| 1978 - On this night Gene LeTourneau, a newspaper reporter, and |
| his wife watched a box-shaped, noiseless object at Russell Pond in |
| Maine. (Source: Portland Press Herald, September 13, 1978). |
| |
| 1979 - The witness, a surveyor, was out picking mushrooms at five |
| o'clock in the afternoon in a wooded part of Petushka, Russia when he |
| came upon a large, shiny, metallic looking mushroom-shaped craft on |
| the ground. The bottom half of the craft emitted a soft pink light, |
| and the top domed section was encased in an orange mist. The craft |
| appeared to be spinning and emitting luminous flashes from its edges. |
| Two short men emerged from the object. They were strongly built with |
| broad shoulders and strong chests. They wore black tight-fitting |
| suits that covered their entire bodies. The suits had two small slits |
| at eye level. They were talking among themselves in a language that |
| sounded more like the twittering of birds than anything else. They |
| appeared to inspect the craft, and then were somehow sucked up inside |
| it. The UFO subsequently took off. On the spot where the object had |
| been resting the soil was found to be totally sterile with all living |
| organisms completely absent. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1979, case # 835, citing Gordon Creighton, FSR, Vol. |
| 27, number 5; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 13272). |
| |
| 1980 - At 9:30 a.m. a blimp-shaped object with eerie lights and odd |
| maneuvers was seen in Texarkana, Arkansas by a doctor who was also a |
| pilot; it vanished on the spot! (Sources: William D. Leet, MUFON UFO |
| Journal, June 1982, p. 5; Larry Hatch, U computer database, citing |
| MUFON). |
| |
| 1984 - A black, saucer-shaped UFO was seen for six minutes flipping |
| around the Inner Harbor area of Baltimore, Maryland in slow motion. |
| It was witnessed by many, including physicist Bruce Maccabee. |
| (Source: Bruce Maccabee, MUFON UFO Journal, May 1985). |
| |
| 1994 - On this night on Dry Creek, the Greenhorn Mountains, Huerfano |
| County, Colorado a local hunter was at his campsite when a large |
| group of "aliens dressed in camo appeared", and before he could |
| react, he was gassed, captured, and tied up. They never spoke to him, |
| and never fed him. He claims he survived by eating grasshoppers. The |
| camoflage wearing, human looking entities appeared to be conducting |
| "some sort of maneuvers." The group then began boarding a small, |
| silver colored flying object, and the witness was astonished when the |
| object appeared to expand in size to accommodate them all. The object |
| then took off, morphed into the shape of a bear, then morphed into "a |
| three headed wolf", then turned into a cloud. Later, law enforcement |
| personnel searched the area and found the witness's truck trashed, |
| the remains of his campfire, and "his half-burnt clothes" scattered |
| around the area. At the same time a second hunter was reported |
| missing in the same area, but when he finally showed up, he "raced |
| away in his truck without saying a word." a local hunter was captured |
| by human-like alien beings, dressed in camoflauge. Small silver UFO |
| grew in size, changed shape 2x. 2nd hunter also missing, wouldn't say |
| why. (Sources: Christopher O'Brien, The Mysterious Valley, p. 254; |
| Albert S. Rosales, 1994 Humanoid Contact Database, case # 2550, |
| citing Christopher O'Brien). |
| |
| 1995 - At 10:30 p.m. at the Bay Bridge in Pensacola, Florida two |
| witnesses watched a one foot in diameter red ball of light low over |
| some trees shoot out and back a number of times, swinging back in |
| forth in the sky in a pendulum motion. (Source: UFO Newsclipping |
| Service, October 1995). |
