| 1880 - A farmer named Ju Tan in Song-Zi Xian Couny, China came upon a |
|
||
| misty white light in some bushes around 8:00 p.m. He then felt a |
|
||
| tingling paralysis, and heard a humming or rushing noise. He was |
|
||
| levitated upwards and lost consciousness. His next recollection was |
|
||
| finding himself, in a dazed state, in Guizhou province, which was 300 |
|
||
| miles away from his home. The time was two weeks later. (Source: |

||
| and electronic by TPS 1D radar. Length of observation was 10 minutes. |

||
| before him. The creature had long black hair, and gave a powerful and |

|
||

|
||
| reappeared, and hovered again before moving away for good. The |
|
||
| sighting lasted 15 minutes. (Sources: NICAP files, citing Ritter |

|
||
| morning sky before vanishing in mid-air. (Source: Michael Hervey, |

|
||
| from the NASA Space Flight Center, and a lady member of the UFO |
|
||
| investigators group APRO, went to her window at 3:30 a.m. and saw |
|
||
| three short figures about five feet tall walking by in single file. |
|
||
| All wore tight fitting, light blue sports shirts and dark trousers, |
|
||
| and had "pale complexions and mousy hair." They appeared to be |
|
||
| "intently engrossed." (Sources: APRO Bulletin, May-June 1971, p. 4; |
|
||
| David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, |

|
||
| heard a rustling sound in the bushes. They then observed a huge |
|
||
| figure, about eight feet tall and four feet wide, that crossed their |
|
||
| path about 25 feet away and disappeared into the woods. It was dark |
|
||
| blue in color and brighter than its surroundings. It had no distinct |
|
||
| arms or legs that could be discerned. A UFO landing had been reported |
|
||
| in the area a few days earlier---the reason for the investigator |
|
||
| being at the site at the time when he encountered the startled |
|
||
| witnesses. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
|
||
| of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-25, citing Barry King, FSR, Vol. 23, # |

|
||
| as big as the moon, swooped silently over their cars, moving rapidly. |
|
||
| It headed off to the east. (Source: Allan Hendry, International UFO |

|
||

|
||
| outside of Juniper and Kamloops, British Columbia. It split into four |

|
||
| up vertically. (Sources: UFO Magazine (USA), September 2000, p. 28; |

|
||
| a.m., saw a low hovering metallic looking UFO that was as big as a |
|
||
| house along Highway 13 south of Highway 2 in Clinton, Missouri. Its |
|
||
| bottom perimeter looked octagonal, and it had four small yellow |
|
||
| lights with a large red light in the middle. It directed a beam of |
|
||
| light down to ground, the UFO swayed, and then blinked out. It made |
|
||
| no sound. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |

|
||
| pointed slightly upwards and it was moving east. He states, "The |
|
||
| saucer/disk seemed to be wobbling and it had what seemed to be |
|
||
| notches that were evenly spaced around its middle as it wobbled and |
|
||
| rotated. I had my 35 mm camera with me the the sighting was so quick |
|
||
| that it was gone before I could get my camera out." (Source: George |

|
||
| located in the Havana, Cuba municipality of Boyeros, several people |
|
||
| witnessed the presence of a small silver oval-shaped UFO. Residents |
|
||
| saw the small oval-shaped vessel, silver-colored with a metallic |
|
||
| tail, as it descended and landed in an open field encircled by trees |
|
||
| on the El Pedregal farm. It made no noise nor smoke. It was about the |
|
||
| size of a pickup truck tire. Raul Beltran, 17, states, "I was tidying |
|
||
| the shelves when a bright light came through the window that was like |
|
||
| a glowing ball with a tail in its lower section. I showed it to my |
|
||
| mother and quickly ran outside to see where it would fall and watched |
|
||
| at the site until the UFO took off once more." It lifted off |
|
||
| perpendicularly, and then left through the palm trees. According to |
|
||
| the witnesses, the grass and small plants at the site where the UFO |
|
||
| landed were somewhat burned. (Source: George A. Filer & David E. |
