|  September 30 |
| |
| 1954 - There are 20 UFO reports recorded in UFOCAT for this day in |
| 1954: one humanoid report from Michigan, one luminous daylight disc |
| from Holland, and the rest were from France. |
| |
| 1954 - While driving to work in Dearborn, Michigan Lawrence Cardenas, |
| age 41, a laundry employee, saw 15 strange men wearing dark green |
| uniforms along the side of the road to his right. They had cylinders |
| on their shoulders, tight fitting skullcaps with pointed peaks in |
| front, and heavy goggles. They were of medium height, and a taller |
| man seemed to be their leader and giving them instructions. About 80 |
| meters away from them was a 4-meter high craft with colored lights, |
| flickering on and off. The witness drove away as fast as he could. |
| (Source: Harold Wilkins, Flying Saucers Uncensored, p. 230; Jacques |
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 213). |
| |
| 1954 - At one o'clock in the afternoon in Blanzy, France two |
| bricklayers, Romain de Bastiani, age 21, and Bruno Burato, age 20, |
| witnessed a partially yellow, partially maroon colored cigar-shaped |
| object landed on the ground. They started to approach the three-meter |
| long object when it took off from the ground with a whistling sound. |
| The pointed section of the object was yellow; the rest of the object |
| was reddish-brown. Two foot-like appendages extended to the ground |
| from the fore section. (Note: Vallee |
| incorrectly lists the date as October 1.) (Source: Le Figaro, October 2, 1954; Jacques |

| Flotte-en-Re, on the Ile de Re, France when he saw a brilliant light |
| and, fearing a fire, rushed to the scene. There he observed a |
| luminous sphere 12 meters in diameter, hovering one meter above the |
| ground. The object changed colors from red to blue, and took off. Two |
| other witnesses also saw it leave. (Source: Sud-Ouest, October 2, |

| 133.4 degrees azimuth, 55 degrees elevation. The observer first saw |
| one object that was white or metallic in color, round in shape, and |
| the size of the head of a pin. Four smaller objects, traveling |
| very fast, then came out from the first object. The Las Vegas AFS |
| tracked a UFO on radar 45 miles southeast of Nellis AFB.  The object |
| was tracked for approximately 45 minutes. (Sources: Project Blue Book |

| 1968 - At around three a.m. Guy Lemargue, age 16, was walking with a |
| friend on a small country road in Roncenay, Aude, France when they |
| both saw, about 150 yards away, a disc-shaped red-orange luminous |
| UFO, about 50 feet in diameter and feet in height, resting on legs. |
| It had a row of portholes all around the edge. Beside it, several |
| luminous entities of small stature were “maneuvering” with very |
| strong lights sources in their hands, which they shone on the ground. |
| They walked or floated two feet above the ground, and sometimes made |
| sudden gliding leaps of a hundred yards. One creature approached to |
| within 15 feet of the teens, and they reported that they could see |
| that its hands were shaped like pincers or crab-like claws. Realizing |
| that their presence had been detected, the boys ran away. (Sources: |
| Luc Billion & Raoul Foin, Lumieres dans la Nuit, October 1973, p. 10; |

| |
| 1971 - At two a.m. Mr. Ron Foreman heard a loud noise outside |
| followed by a "whoosh" come from outside his home in West Malling, |
| Kent, England. His television cut out and the room lights went dim. |
| He opened the back door and saw a seven foot tall "creature" standing |
| there, clad in a silver suit and wearing a transparent helmet. It |
| "glided" away over a fence, but later returned with a second entity, |
| surrounded by a haze of light. Foreman went for the police. (Source: |
| David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, |
| case 1971-27, citing BUFORA Journal, Vol. 3 # 6). |
| |

| at a very high altitude hovering over Hanoi, Vietnam in the broad |
| daylight. It stayed in place for an hour and 20 minutes. (Sources: |

| FSR, December 1972, p. 10). |
| |
| 1973 - The witnesses, Claude Champoux, Florent Papillon and a man |
| called J. R. were camping near a lake--Lac-aux-Bleuets, Quebec, |
| Canada--when they heard a loud engine sound coming from a nearby |
| field. When they went to look the men spotted an oval-shaped, |
| metallic object on the ground. The UFO was silvery in color and |
| emitted flourescent-like orange lights that changed colors to blue, |
| and red. A strange humanoid figure, metallic or robot-like in |
| appearance, stood next to the object. It was wearing either a |
| reflective metallic suit or was itself made out of metal. The being's |
| body emitted bright silvery flashes. While on the ground the object |
| emitted a sound resembling that of a transformer. Soon the strange |
| character disappeared inside the object, which then rose up, moving |
| up and down like a yo-yo, it then accelerated and disappeared at high |
| speed. They estimated the craft to have been about 600 feet in |
| diameter. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1973, |
| citing Gilles Cote & Marc Leduc, CASUFO). |
| |
| 1973 - At 9:30 p.m. a Franklin County, Ohio man found the landing |
| site of an object he had seen hovering near his home earlier in the |
| evening. The site was in a field of waist-high weeds about a |
| quarter mile south of Hall Road, west of Outerbelt, Ohio. Weeds had |
| been crushed to the ground in a semi-oval area 20 feet x 30 feet. |
| There were no scorch marks. The object had swooped down in a zigzag |
| pattern and dropped below trees. Several dozen other sightings were |
| reported from the area. (Sources: Robert Gribble, UFO Reporting |
| Center, case 82; Francis L. Ridge, Regional Encounters, p.  46). |
| |
| 1975 - At 3:30 a.m. two men, Philips and Brown, had a close encounter |
| with a domed disc-shaped object hovering over a dairy farm seven |
| miles south of Corning, California and illuminating the dairy "like |
| daylight". It emitted a bright red light, and made a humming sound. |
| Cows fled from area. The UFO hovered for 3-5 minutes, then took off |
| and was out-of-sight "in the blink of an eye." An inside occupant was |
| also seen. (Sources: Corning (CA) Daily Observer, October 16, 1975; |
| Dwight Connelly, Skylook, October 1975, p. 14; Richard Hall, |
| Uninvited Guests, p. 283; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume |

| |
| 1980 - At one o'clock in the morning in Rosedale, Victoria, Australia |
| 54-year-old caretaker George Blackwell heard a screeching whistle, |
| and then saw a 25 foot wide domed disc or top-shaped UFO |
| withmulticolored body lights and a black tube appendage that landed |
| on the ground at the cattle station called White Acres. He got to |
| within 50 feet of it on his motorcycle before it took off with a wave |
| of heat and an explosive sound, showering down debris, and left a |
| black ring on the ground at the landing site. In addition, 10,000 |
| gallons of water were missing from a nearby water tank. During the |
| close encounter a horse galloped away and cattle bellowed, panicked |
| and ran. Mr. Blackwell suffered from physiological effects including |
| headaches and vomiting, and diarrhea that lasted for a week. |

| LaMontagne, Poland, and LeClair--had a close encounter with a large |
| metallic ovoid object with red lights while driving on a highway east |
| of Exeter, New Hampshire. It was seen at treetop level. The women got |
| out of the car and attempted to get closer. The sighting lasted four |
| minutes. (Source: J. Allen Hynek, International UFO Reporter, January |

| two teenage children who also watched it. It flew off toward |
| Dromkeal. John McManus of Dromkeal, Ireland reported he experienced |
| an abduction from his bedroom by four 4-foot tall beings. He was |
| taken into a circular room, which had an exam table like a couch. |
| They jabbe him in the neck with a probe, which caused him an electric |
| shock and he passed out. He woke up naked, with mud on his feet. |
| (Source: Dermot Butler, Conspiracy of Silence: UFOs in Ireland, pp. |
| 120-121). |
| |
| 1992 - At 6:30 p.m six witnesses in Miraima, Ceara State, Brazil saw |
| a fiery ball of light that moved at six meters altitude over a |
| railway bridge, then directed two beams of light into a nearby lake. |

| UBPDV, Causistica Brasileira de 1992, p. 11). |
| |
| 1992 - There were three reports of low level UFOs on this evening |
| from North Carolina, and another from neighboring South Carolina. On |
| Interstate 95 in Raeford, North Carolina a 36-year-old woman saw a 50 |
| foot long gray rectangular craft, 20 times the apparent size of the |
| Moon. It was seen at an estimated distance of 1500 feet, and had six |
| lights on the bottom. It was followed by 20 smaller glowing ovoid |
| objects, and the air got cold as the UFOs passed over. At 9:10 p.m. |
| in Gastonia, North Carolina a 45-year-old man was in his backyard |
| closing up his shop when he saw a glowing oval or fat cigar-shaped |
| object flying at 2,500 feet altitude that had three bands of a bluish |
| white corona around its mid-section. It had intense beams of light |
| coming from the two ends. Five minutes later (9:15 p.m.) in Stanley, |
| North Carolina a 38-year-old mechanic and his girlfriend were out |
| stargazing when they spotted a bright, light yellow glowing |
| cone-shaped UFO. It was surrounded by four misty white cigar-shaped |
| nocturnal lights. Three minutes later (9:18 p.m.) in Moonville, South |
| Carolina three witnesses saw a large cylinder with an orange glow and |
| a yellow flame that flew overhead and to the east; it had 5 small |
| lights around the object. (Sources: (1, 2, & 3) Donald M. Ware, MUFON |

| |
| 1997 - Dr. Carlos Munoz and Enrique Bermudez were parked in an |
| isolated wooded area near Punta Arenas, Chile at 11:30 p.m. They had |
| stepped out of the car when they heard something moving close to |
| them, and they could perceive small shadows nearby. They next saw a |
| fluorescent tube of light in a vertical position, about 30 meters |
| away. It was suspended about a meter from the ground. It was |
| pulsating and was red andwhite in color. They ran to their car and |
| grabbed a camcorder in a futile attempt to videotape the object. They |
| got back in their car and started driving away, when suddenly they |
| heard a loud engine noise and a black sports vehicle with tinted |
| windows drove past them at high speed. Simultaneously, their |
| vehicle's instruments malfunctioned. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, case |
