|
||
| tail section. (Sources: Project Blue Book files, February 1953; Larry |

|
||
| Ridgefield, Connecticut encountered a five meter long cigar-shaped |
|
||
| object close to the ground on the left side of the road. It had |
|
||
| several portholes about half a meter in diameter that were lit by a |
|
||
| yellow light. Shadows could be seen moving around behind the windows. |
|
||
| It took off going straight up. (Source: Thomas M. Olsen, The |
|
||
| Reference for Outstanding UFO Sighting Reports, case 86, citing APRO |

| he encountered a 40-foot wide oval-shaped domed disc with black marks |
|
||
| around the rim, 20-30 feet above the ground. The object seemed |
|
||
| metallic, was white in color with portholes, and made no sound. The |
|
||
| car's engine stopped when he was 20 meters away, but the headlights |
|
||
| remained on. The incident lasted five minutes. (Sources: Richard |

|
||
| to red to orange as it slowed, then accelerated. Venus was visible at |
|
||
| the time. (Source: Francis L. Ridge, Regional Encounters, p. 28). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - At 8:45 p.m. Donald and Marie Guseman were driving on U.S. |
|
||
| Highway 13 in Odessa, Delaware when they encountered a 50 foot wide |
|
||
| disc-shaped object with a cupola and ports underneath, and forwardly |
|
||
| placed light beams. It also had a green light on one side and a red |
|
||
| light on the other. It hovered motionless over some trees, then |
|
||
| emitted light beams that swung upwards at a 45-degree angle into the |
|
||
| sky. The object began moving away, and then suddenly disappeared. |
|
||
| Their close encounter lasted two minutes. (Source: Project Blue Book |

|
||
| 1969 - At 1:00 a.m. in St. Martin de Londres, Herault department, |
|
||
| France a 40-year-old farmer and his assistant saw a large stationary |

|
||
| became impotent as a result, and his dogs started barking every |
|
||
| morning at 2 a.m. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, July 1969; FSR, |

|
||
| encountered a bright yellow sphere hovering low over the road, about |
|
||
| 20 or 30 feet above a viaduct. Their car engine stopped. The car |
|
||
| engine restarted inself when the sphere rose vertically into the sky |
|
||
| and departed. (Sources: FSR, March 1973, p. 32; Mark Rodeghier, UFO |

||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - At around 9:00 p.m. four people riding in a car traveling on a |
|
||
| highway north-northeast of Evansville, Indiana were levitated by a |
|
||
| UFO and lost consciousness. When they recovered they had over two |
|
||
| hours of missing time. One of the abductees recalled interacting with |
|
||
| an occupant of the UFO, who looked to be human, and who somehow knew |
|
||
| the names of the four of them. (Sources: Francis L. Ridge, Regional |
|
||
| Encounters, p. 46; Larry Hatch, U computer database). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - That same night David Swanner of Shores Community, Tennessee |
|
||
| claims he was invited by two "men" to ride in a UFO. In a few moments |
|
||
| after accepting their invitation they flew over San Francisco, then |
|
||
| the Hawaiian Islands. His round trip excursion took only 45 minutes. |
|
||
| The purpose of their presence, he was told, was to warn of the |
|
||
| "possible destruction of Solar System by atomic bombs." The UFOnauts |
|
||
| were between four and five feet tall, wore white coveralls, and had |
|
||
| long, pointed chins, with tall foreheads and small eyes, ears, and |
|
||
| noses. They claimed that their lifespan was between 125-175 years. |
|
||
| Mr. Swanner was instructed to inform the public. He claims to possess |
|
||
| proof, but it "cannot now be revealed." This was his third close |
|
||
| encounter with the aliens. (Sources: Ted Bloecher, MUFON Symposium |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - At around two o'clock at night residents of Saline, Michigan |
|
||
| saw a boomerang or triangular object hovering near their homes. Mr. & |
|
||
| Mrs. Sibson as well as an Air Force mechanic reported their sightings |
|
||
| to the Center for UFO Studies. According to them it made a slight |
|
||
| humming noise, and was the size of three 747's with a "great |
|
||
| intensity of light coming from the center fuselage area." It flew off |
|
||
| toward the west slowly. (Sources: CUFOS files, letter dated February |
|
||
| 17, 1978; Philip J. Imbrogno, Contact of the 5th Kind, p. 18). |

||
| 1979 - Over 50 UFOs surrounded the butane freighter "Tamames" in the |
|
||
| Mediterranean Sea as it approached the Escombreras refinery in the |
|
||
| Baleares Islands. The ship's log reports that clouds appeared at 3:00 |
|
||
| a.m., and the ship's radar showed the presence of many huge aerial |
|
||
| objects. The presence of yellow lights in the clouds continued for |
|
||
| six hours. The radar of a second ship also reported the presence of |
|
||
| the UFOs, but not ground radar. (Source: Jane Thomas, UFO |
|
||
| Newsclipping Service, March 1979, p. 15, citing Pueblo, February 9, |

| |
|
||
| 1979 - A dark, beehive-shaped UFO was encountered by a 53-year-old |
|
||
| man named Hathaway at 9:00 p.m. while he was driving near Liverpool |
|
||
| Creek, Queensland, Australia. The failure of his car's engine and |
|
||
| lights closely corresponded with a brilliant flash of light coming |
|
||
| from the object. It rose vertically when it left. The witness |
|
||
| experienced memory loss for some of the events surrounding his close |
|
||
| encounter. (Source: Keith Basterfield, MUFON UFO Journal, December |
|
||
| 1979). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1988 - In Oswestry, Shropshire, England a 45 foot in diameter yellow |
|
||
| cloud of something that looked like fog was seen straddling a |
|
||
| hedgerow around 8:00 a.m. It glowed brightly and made a noise like |
|
||
| rushing air. A dog ran into it and disappeared for a time. The two |
|
||
| adult witnesses, a man and a woman, reported feeling a tingling |
|
||
| sensation and smelling a sulphur smell. The dog was later found |
|
||
| unconscious, wet and hot; its eyes were red and it seemed close to |
|
||
| death. It died a few weeks later. (Source: Jenny Randles, Time |
|
||
| Storms: Amazing Evidence for Time Warps, Space Rifts, and Time |
|
||
| Travel, p. 11). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1993 - A young boy went outside at 7:25 p.m. in Colebrook, New |
|
||
| Hampshire and saw a domed disc-shaped object approaching from the |
|
||
| northeast. He went and got his stepfather, and both of them witnessed |
|
||
| two hovering discs. The discs appeared to be the size of a house, |
|
||
| about four feet apart, and only 50 feet in altitude. They seemed to |
|
||
| have a pink glow on the far sides. Their lights blinked, and then |
|
||
| both discs disappeared. (Sources: Sandra Black, MUFON Field |
|
||
| Investigation case files, case 930604J; MUFON UFO Journal, October |
|
||
| 1993). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1993 - On the same night Mr. C. Wagh was at the Bridge of Earn in |
|
||
| Central Scotland when he sighted six white lights in a straight line. |
|
||
| He viewed then through binoculars as they hovered for the next 15 |
|
||
| minutes. They seemed to be about 6 to 8 feet apart. They suddenly |
|
||
| went out. (Source: Ron Halliday, UFO Scotland: The Secret History of |
|
||
| Scotland's UFO Phenomenon, p. 159). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1995 - La Canada, Avila, Spain - A 28-year-old security guard was |
|
||
| fixing his guard dog's dinner at 9:55 p.m. The dog was tied to a |
|
||
| heavy tonnage truck, and he suddenly began barking furiously and |
|
||
| staring at the nearby railroad tracks. The man looked around but did |
|
||
| not find anything unusual, so he fed his dog and went back to the |
|
||
| guard shack. Fifteen seconds later the dog began barking again. When |
|
||
| he stepped outside he was confronted by a bizarre looking, shiny |
|
||
| white figure that floated quietly above the ground. The apparition |
|
||
| was about 1.5 meters in length and floated horizontally just above |
|
||
| the ground. At the same time the dog's food dish began to vibrate and |
|
||
| "jump around." The figure was wearing what looked like a flowing |
|
||
| tunic, and a conical hat concealed its facial features. It advanced |
|
||
| slowly towards the witness. The terrified man noticed the humanoid |
|
||
| had long hair, resembling that of a woman's, and it carried that |
|
||
| looked like a baton in one hand. The man fled from the area and |
|
||
| didn't return until he had found some additional witnesses. When they |
|
||
| returned to the site they found bizarre symbols that had been traced |
|
||
| on the ground with a sharp tool. One of the symbols resembled a |
|
||
| six-pointed star and others were "STN", "BEL" and the letter "U". |
|
||
| Superstitious locals attributed these symbols to be "demonic" in |
|
||
| nature. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1995, |
|
||
| citing Iker Jimenez, Encuentros: La Historia de los OVNI en Espana). |

|
||
| of it among some hills. (Source: Barbara Trout, MUFON case files, |

|
||
| phenomenon was seen from two locations, and viewed through binoculars |
|
||
| for 30 minutes. (Source: Heseltine Gary, UFO Magazine (UK), July |
|

|
||
| database, case # 18079, citing Joseph Trainor, UFO Roundup, volume 4, |

|
||
| Chile spotted a UFO hovering over a group of 10 white-robed cultists, |
|
||

|
||
| powerful light. The next day cell phones in the area would not work, |
|
||
| and the witnesses complained of headaches, stomachaches, back pain, |
|
||
| and dizziness. (Sources: Australasian Ufologist, January 2001, p. 54, |
|
||
| citing Joseph Trainor, UFO Roundup, March 15, 2001). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 2003 - At 2:10 a.m. three witnesses in Indian Mountain, New |
|
||

||
| was 30 feet of their house, and returned by flying back out over the |
|
||
