| the west at 28,000 feet altitude at 7:45 p.m. and was seen by several |
| townspeople. It had a clearly distinguishable outline, and a very |
| bright light at the rear. (Source: Loren E. Gross, Mystery of the |
| Ghost Rockets, p. 10). |
| |
| 1947 - The radio announcer at Mexican radio station XEFI, a man named |
| Duran, reported the he had sighted five disc-shaped objects over |
| Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico and that two had been sighted over |

| |
| 1947 - At three o'clock in the afternoon in Amfreville-la-Mi-Voie, |
| Seine-Maritime department, France a small disc-shaped UFO landed on |
| the banks of the Seine River. Two short humanoids, about three feet |
| tall, got out and shortly later reboarded the craft. The UFO lifted |
| off silently, and flew off to the southeast.  (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case # 1000, citing Michel Figeut & Jean-Louis |
| Ruchon, OVNI: Le Premier Dossier Complet des Rencontres Rapprochees |
| en France, p. 50). |

| round silvery objects circled over one spot for two minutes at 2,000 |
| feet altitude. (Sources: Sacramento Bee, July 7, 1947; Ted Bloecher, |
| Report on the UFO Wave of 1947, case # 595). |

| twenty to thirty feet long, crescent-shaped, and flying at an |
| estimated 1,000 feet altitude. It circled in the east for about 30 |
| seconds. The photograph quality was sharp and clear, although the |
| reproduction below is from the newspaper that first published it and |
| suffers from deterioration in quality due to age and print technique. |

| 1967 - At 3:00 a.m. an intense light coming from their patio had |
| awakened the daughter of the Count de Ribas on the Mediterranean |
| island of Palma de Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. From her window |
| she saw two small figures apparently speaking to each other. They had |
| very large heads, possibly due to the presence of helmets, and huge |
| eyes. The witness tried turning on the lights but they did not work. |
| She then went to get candles and when she returned both beings and |
| the light had vanished. Two small marks on the outside of the wall |
| were found that could only be removed by scraping the wall; after it |

| house. The men proceeded to put on orange belts. A circular, |
| bell-shaped shining object descended from the sky to within two feet |
| of the ground. It was about 90 feet in diameter, and it changed |
| rapidly in color from orange to blue to white. It put down a small |
| staircase and the two men entered the object. It then took off and |
| vanished into the sky "at an impressive speed." (Source: David F. |
