|
||
| |
|
||
| 1947 - There are 35 unexplained UFO, USO (unidentified submarine |
|
||
| object), and humanoid reports for this day in UFOCAT, including the |
|
||
| alleged discovery of the famous Roswell debris field by Mac Brazel on |
|
||
| a ranch near Corona, New Mexico and the discovery of a crashed disc |
|
||
| by Barney Barnett in an arroyo near Magdelena, New Mexico. A cluster |
|
||
| of three reports came from around Cincinnati, Ohio between 10:30 a.m. |
|
||
| and 5:30 p.m. A cluster of another three reports came from Prince |
|
||
| Edward Island, Canada at 5:45 p.m. including the sighting of a black |
|
||
| cigar-shaped object in Charlottetown. There was a third cluster of |
|
||
| sightings from Sonoma County, California where a forest fire lookout |
|
||
| in Fort Ross saw what looked like a burning ship sink slowly into the |
|
||
| Pacific Ocean where no ship was reported missing. There was a fourth |
|
||
| cluster of three sightings between Baltimore, Maryland and |
|
||
| Washington, DC. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1947 - Harborside, Maine - John F. Cole, an astronomer, watched a |
|
||
| series of objects that gave off a roaring noise at 2:30 in the |
|
||
| afternoon from Harborside, south of Brooksville, Maine. The objects |
|
||
| were in the north and were proceeding northwest at a high speed. He |
|
||
| estimated their diameter at 100 feet. Calling the report an |
|
||
| "unusually well-supported incident," the Air Force had no |
|
||
| explanation. However, years later the Air Materiel Command publicly |
|
||
| explained the event as "birds or insects". This sighting was also one |
|
||
| of the 1947 cases investigated by the FBI. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, |
|
||
| Anatomy of a Phenomenon, pg. 51; Donald Keyhoe, Flying Saucers: Top |
|
||
| Secret, pg. 89). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1947 - In the village of Mendon, Vermont at 9:00 p.m. Mrs. Spieski |
|
||
| sighted a cylindrical UFO, shaped like a flashlight with a white head |
|
||
| and green body. It flew at a moderate speed over a meadow at low |
|
||
| altitude, heading toward the southwest. (Sources: Ted Bloecher; |
|
||
| Rutland (VT) Herald, July 9, 1947). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1949 - A blue-green fireball was sighted at dawn north of Vaughn, |
|
||
| Montana. It lit up the sky from horizon to horizon. At 10:40 a.m. 200 |
|
||
| spectators watched three identical disc-shaped objects fly over an |
|
||
| air show being held in Longview, Washington. Another disc-shaped |
|
||
| flying object was sighted in Astoria, Oregon at 1:00 p.m. At 3:00 |
|
||
| p.m. in Sterling State Park on the shore of Lake Erie in Michigan, |
|
||
| Mr. D. Swarz was watching 2 AT6 airplanes when his attention was |
|
||
| drawn to a metallic disc high above moving rapidly in opposite |
|
||
| direction. The object went south over the western end of Lake Erie |
|
||
| and was gone in 11 seconds. (Sources: Edward Sullivan, CSI-Los |
|
||
| Angeles letters from witnesses; Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying Saucers: Top |
|
||
| Secret, p. 86; newspaper clipping datelined Astoria, OR July 5, 1949.) |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1955 - Mrs. Wesley Symmonds was driving near Stockton, Georgia when |
|
||
| she saw four "bug-eyed" creatures near the road. They were small |
|
||
| beings with thin arms, wide shoulders, large eyes, and pointed chins. |
|
||
| Two were turned away from the witness; one was bending over with |
|
||
| something like a stick in its hand; and the fourth one was facing her |
|
||
| with its right arm raised. It had bulging eyes, a sort of cap, no |
|
||
| visible mouth, a long pointed nose, a chin that came to a sharp |
|
||
| point, and long thin arms with claws. (Sources: Leonard Stringfield, |
|
||
| Inside Saucer Post...3-0 Blue, Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
|
||
| Century of Landings, p. 249-250). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1960 - An Argentinean Air Force Captain photographed a cone-shaped |
|
||
| UFO between Yacanto and Cordoba, Argentina at 4:30 p.m. There was a |
|
||
| mystery fall of ice from the sky in Portage, Pennsylvania. (Source: |
|
||
| FSR Case Histories, December 1973, p. 17; George Eberhart, A |
|
||
| Geo-Bibliography of Anomalies, p. 788). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1961 - An object resembling a hovercraft was seen at fifteen minutes |
|
||
| after minute in Ryde, England. It had five windows through which a |
|
||
| bright orange light was shining, and it hovered about 20 meters above |
|
||
| the trees. It left suddenly at high speed. (Source: Passport to |
|
||
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 520). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1965 - At their base on Deception Island in the South Shetland |
|
||
| Islands, Antarctica two Chilean scientists, Barrera and Perisse, |
|
||
| witnessed, tracked with a theodolite, and photographed a bluish-green |
|
||
| lighted object that zigzagged and caused strong radio frequency |
|
||
| interference beginning at 7:14 p.m. Another electromagnetic effect |
|
||
| was that the UFO registered on their magnetograph tapes and |
|
||
| variometers. Photographs were taken. The blue-green lighted object |
|
||
| was seen zig-zagging. There was a government coverup. (Sources: La |

|
||
| 1967 - An 8-mm home movie was made at 1:00 a.m. in Buckhorn, Ontario |
|
||
| when a family saw 15 lights darting about in the sky. Mr. Denniss |
|
||
| shot a few feet of film in the direction of flight. On the film is a |
|
||
| red, round luminous object, flattened slightly on the top. They next |
|
||
| saw three lights traveling in a triangle formation. (Source: Skylook, |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1968 - Around midnight a man driving in a car in Colle Orlando, Italy |
|
||
| had a tall humanoid jump onto the roadway from an embankment in front |
|
||
| of him. The being wore blue overalls, had long hair, and a bright |
|
||
| light shone from his chest. The being easily jumped over the car, |
|
||
| laughed, then jumped to a hill where a small red disc was hovering. |
|
||
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database, 1968, case 99, |
|
||
| citing ITACAT). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1976 - Two 14-year-old girls, Ms. Chapman and Ms. Perry, in Mawman, |
|
||
| England heard a hissing sound around 10 o'clock at night. They then |
|
||
| saw a flying humanoid as big as a man, with glowing red eyes. It |
|
||
| looked like "a big owl with pointed ears." (Source: David F. Webb and |
|
||
| Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT, case A1641, citing Fortean Times, August 1976, |
|
||
| p. 17). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1999 - A couple driving between Oostende and Bruges, Belgium saw a |
|
||
| triangular object hovering seven meters above a field. It was silver |
|
||
| and black with lights in each corner, and had a pulsating red light |
|
||
| in the center. When one of them tried to photograph it the craft |
|
||
| approached them. They panicked and drove off. (Source: UFO Magazine |
