|
||
| |
|
||
| 1947 - Two railway men, J. A. Martin and Kenneth Smith, working near |
|
||
| Livingston, Montana saw disc-shaped machines traveling to the south |
|
||
| in the sky just before sundown. Their speed was 40-60 mph; they |
|
||
| glided smoothly and made no sound. They were plainly visible. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - At 4:10 a.m. USAF Lt. H. K. Funseth, a ground radar observer, |
|
||
| and two U.S. Navy men watched an unidentified pulsing amber light fly |
|
||
| straight and level for seven minutes outside of Akron on US Highway |
|
||
| 224 in Atwater, Ohio. The object was pulsating in intensity from very |
|
||
| intense to normal. They reported observing a light only, and could |
|
||
| not discern what the object looked like. It was described as |
|
||
| amber-orange, round, the size of a car headlamp on dim, and traveling |
|
||
| at a speed of 200 mph. (Sources: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1953 - At 12:30 a.m. in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada two |
|
||
| witnesses experienced two hours of missing time after their car had |
|
||
| stalled in the presence of a black, 14 meter in diameter circular |
|
||
| object, which hovered overhead. During hypnosis it emerged that |
|
||
| telepathy was used for communication. (Source: Don Ledger, Maritime |
|
||
| UFO Files, p. 38). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - Outside of Vernon, near Paris, France a giant cigar-shaped |
|
||
| object was observed standing on end at 1:00 a.m. It emitted a |
|
||
| disc-shaped object, dropped in free fall, then slowed and swayed. The |
|
||
| disc was surrounded by a red halo. Over the next 45 minutes it |
|
||
| emitted four more discs. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and |
|
||
| the Straight Line Mystery, p. 19; Richard F. Haines, Project Delta, |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - On this day Elise Blanc approached an object that looked like |
|
||
| an aluminum trailer in Lugrin, France. Standing close to it were two |
|
||
| small beings dressed in silver uniforms. They made grunting sounds |
|
||
| like pigs. The object took on a glowing, fiery color and flew away. |
|
||
| [Note: the Airstream model of trailer, common for this period, is |
|
||
| aluminum in color and somewhat ovoid shaped.] (Sources: Jacques |

|
||
| plasma glow. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, May 1965, p. 6; John |

||
| |
|
||
| 1959 - At 9:30 p.m. a student watched a bright, pulsating ellipsoid |
|
||
| object hover in Midland, Michigan. It made a whirring sound, was |
|
||
| sharply outlined, and about the size of a T-33 plane. It changed |
|
||
| color from white to bluish-white when it shot off. (Source: John M. |

|
||
| triangular windows at the bottom. The object flew in an arc for two |
|
||
| minutes. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |

||
| 1965 - At one o'clock in the morning Casimiro Zuk was riding |
|
||
| his bicycle near a railroad crossing in Apostoles, Argentina when he |
|
||
| saw a luminous object above him that circled, then landed near the |
|
||
| tracks. It was round, five meters in diameter, and 2.5 meters high. A |
|
||
| door opened and a man dressed like a pilot emerged, walked around, |
|
||
| and then re-entered the object, which flew off in a spiral. (Source: |
|
||
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1966 - Columbus, Ohio. - At seven o'clock in the evening two |
|
||

|
||
| white object split into five objects. All five objects streaked away |
|
||
| toward the west. The sighting lasted 15 minutes. (Source: Don |

||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - Joyceville, Ontario - While driving from his home in Toronto to |
|
||
| Montreal at four o'clock in the morning Stanley Moxon, age 20, saw a |
|
||
| green light in a field ahead of him, not far from the road. He turned |
|
||
| off his headlights and swung onto a side road to get closer. Turning |
|
||
| his lights on again, he saw a huge greenish colored lens-shaped |
|
||
| craft, and two somewhat bulky human-like entities about four feet |
|
||
| tall, wearing white uniforms and helmets. They "seemed to be at work |
|
||
| around the machine." When they were discovered, they quickly jumped |
|
||
| into the craft, which took off silently at tremendous speed. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - Two young men, Ricardo Hurtado and Antonio Piedra, in Caracas, |
|
||
| Santa Monica district, Venezuela heard a noise like "horses |
|
||
| galloping" in their kitchen. They encountered two small beings who |
|
||
| when discovered left hurriedly. There were no lights on in the room |
|
||
| and their details could not be discerned very well, but they did not |
|
||
| believe the visitors could have been children.(Source: APRO Bulletin, |
|
||
| September-October 1967, p. 13). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - In Kolmarden, Sodermanland, Sweden a 15-year-old boy and girl, |
|
||
| Erik and Inga, were walking together in the evening when they saw a |
|
||
| reddish glow descend into the woods at 8:00 p.m. When they reached an |
|
||
| abandoned cabin they saw a conical light beam cast onto its wall, and |
|
||
| the red light re-appeared. Alarmed by this, they walked to the home |
|
||
| of the boy's sisters, where they found a round, brightly luminous |
|
||
| object hovering about 13 feet in the air. Then they heard a whistling |
|
||
| sound and footsteps, and finally a little being jumped out from |
|
||
| behind some bushes, 35 feet away. The being was 4 feet 4 inches tall, |
|
||
| and its face was at first completely in shadow. Then it jerkily |
|
||
| raised its head and arms, holding a box from which a short tube |
|
||
| protruded. Its head was very large, covered by hair or a helmet. It |
|
||
| had large dark eyes, and a nose and mouth that together formed an |
|
||
| "X." It was bowlegged, and around each ankle was a brilliant, white |
|
||
| glowing wire. The witnesses ran for home. The next day at the site |
|
||
| the boy found some apples that had been broken apart, some of them |
|
||
| with the marks of five fingernails or claws on the broken surface. |
|
||
| Other apples were coated with a foul smelling slime. Also found |
|
||
| outside the house were deep, odd footprints, 6 inches long and with |
|
||
| three-toe marks. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |

| |
|
||
| 1967 - At 10:15 p.m. a 19-year-old teenager riding on a motocycle two |
|
||
| miles north of Lacombe, Alberta, Canada was chased by a red UFO with |
|
||
| a vertical stripe down the middle. It followed him two miles down a |
|
||
| twisting country road. The motorcycle engine "coughed", but did not |
|
||
| stall. He felt heat, and heard a loud whistle sound. (Sources: |

|
||
| Rodriguez, age 34, in Nuez, Zamora province, Spain at 12:30 a.m. It |
|
||
| was disc shaped and also had red and white lights, and was four |
|
||
| meters in diameter. His car's electrical system failed when the |
|
||
| object approached.The light vanished, then reappeared 15 meters away, |
|
||
| then moved off behind some trees. (Source: Vicente-Juan Ballester |

||
| Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in Spain and Portugal, case |
|
||
| 145, citing Jose-Tomas Ramirez y Barbero, Stendek, December 1971, p. |
|
||
| 16). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1971 - At around 4 p.m. on highway D1 southeast of Verteillac, |
|
||
| Dordogne, France a huge metallic disc-shaped UFO was spotted as it |
|
||
| rose from behind some trees. It stopped in midair and dropped back |
|
||
| down again. Nothing was found on the ground when the area was |
|
||
| searched. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 123). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1976 - Dean Anderson was cutting grass on a golf course in Egg |
|
||
| Harbor, Door County, Wisconsin at 4:15 a.m. when he saw a large |
|
||
| orange craft drop down into a culvert behind the road. Anderson |
|
||
| stopped his lawn mower. Two figures emerged from a door in the craft |
|
||
| and floated down to the ground on a “band of light.” The craft then |
|
||
| took off. Both figures carried flashlights 3 feet long. They came up |
|
||
| to Mr. Anderson and one of the beings extended his hand, which the |
|
||
| witness shook. He said, “We come in peace. I am Sunar from Jupiter. |
|
||
| This is Treena; she comes from Saturn.” The witness shook Treena’s |
|
||
| hand while Sunar allegedly explained that they were here on a |
|
||
| scientific mission, gathering specimens. Treena took off her outer |
|
||
| spacesuit, and appeared in a close fitting, light green one-piece |
|
||
| suit; the top was of “some glistening metallic material,” but the |
|
||
| pants were dull. She also wore slippers. Her skin was light tan, her |
|
||
| eyes blueish gray, and she had shoulder length hair. She was 5’2” |
|
||
| tall. Sunar did most of the talking; he had copper colored skin, and |
|
||
| said he was over 200 years old. The witness was told that the man he |
|
||
| had chased on a previous closer encounter was Muton, from Mars, and |
|
||
| that Sunar had once met Baha’u”llah, the founder of the Baha’i |
|
||
| religion. After about 20 minutes of conversation, Treena put her |
|
||
| spacesuit back on, and gave Anderson an envelope made of yellow nylon |
|
||
| cloth, which she asked him not to open for nine days. The craft |
|
||
| returned, and the two UFOnauts ascended to it on a beam of light. The |
|
||
| craft was estimated to be 30 feet wide at the bottom, and 60 feet |
|
||
| high. As soon as daylight allowed, the witness photographed the |
|
||
| footprints of Treena and Sunar in the dirt. Later, upon opening the |
|
||
| envelope, the witness found a gold-colored, engraved amulet inside. |
|
||
| There is no mention of what he did with it, or whether he still has |
|
||
| it. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
