|
||
| |
|
||
| 1949 - Alain Berard saw a large, bright object land near his farm in |
|
||
| France with a flash of green lightning. It then became dark. As he |
|
||
| approached the craft, the witness saw three figures with stocky short |
|
||
| legs, apparently without heads. Frightened, he fired a gun at them |
|
||
| three times. A moment later the object took off vertically. (Source: |

|
||

|
||
| in Port Austin, Michigan picked up a clear and steady radar return at |
|
||
| a distance of 9 miles. The slow moving light changed color from red |
|
||
| to pink to pale white to white and then back to red. An explanation |
|
||
| of the sighting was changed to "Venus" in the Air Force files in |
|
||
| 1963. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1956 - Multiple radar sets at Orly Airport, Paris, France tracked an |
|
||
| unknown blip for four hours beginning at 10:50 p.m. It was twice the |
|
||
| size of and airliner, and made 2,000 mph bursts of speed. A visual |
|
||
| sighting of the object was briefly made by a pilot landing at the |
|
||
| airfield. (Sources: Alexander Mebane, Civilian Saucer Intelligence-NY |

|
||
| 1956 - In Anderson, South Carolina at 4:15 p.m. several thousand |

||
| |
|
||
| 1960 - A grayish black Saturn-shaped disc with exhaust cruised the |
|
||
| tops of the hills in New Martinsville, West Virginia. A |

|
||
| 1967 - At 1:05 a.m. in Dorchester, Massachusetts a metallic domed |
|
||

|
||
| hovered at treetop level over a rest home for the elderly before |
|
||
| moving away. At 6:55 p.m. in Lawrence, Massachusetts a dazzlingly |
|
||
| bright V-shaped object, with a variety of body lights, hovered low |
|
||
| over the interstate highway for three minutes. The witness drove |
|
||
| under it. There were a series of other, similar reports close by at |
|
||
| Methuen and Andover at about the same time. (Source: Raymond E. |

||
| |
|
||
| 1969 - A woman in Flinders Park, South Australia heard a whirring |
|
||
| sound coming from outside that woke her at 2:50 a.m. She looked out |
|
||
| the window and saw an unusual object in a nearby field. A man emerged |
|
||
| from the shadows and walked around the object. The figure was very |
|
||
| tall and lean with light colored hair. He wore white coveralls. He |
|
||
| walked several times around the object. The witness then ran to get |
|
||
| other witnesses but when she got back the UFO and tall figure were |
|
||
| gone. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1969, |
|
||
| case #1309, citing Keith Basterfield). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - At ten p.m. a 10 meter long cigar-shaped object appeared over |
|
||
| a vineyard in a rainstorm in Montreal-d'Aude, Aude department, |
|
||
| France. It had four blazing lights on display as it moved up a road. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1975 - At 9 p.m. Sheriff Richard Egebakken, as well as four other |
|
||
| Wheatland County and state officials, observed a bright round object |
|
||
| hovering near the Harlowton, Montana nuclear missile base. The object |
|
||
| made rapid darting movements, and bobbed up-down. (Source: Richard H. |
|
||
| Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 175). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1976 - A truck driver driving between Tarraleah and Berridale, |
|
||
| Tasmania saw a bright cigar-shaped object ahead and to his left at |
|
||
| around four o'clock in the morning. It was low to the ground. The |
|
||
| light had maintained its position relative to his truck for some |
|
||
| time, so the driver woke up his companion. The driver estimated the |
|
||
| object was about one kilometer away and 300 meters in altitude. The |
|
||
| two men tried a transistor radio, but it emitted only static until |
|
||
| the end of the sighting. They estimated the object to be 10 meters in |
|
||
| diameter with a dome on top. After being paced for 60 kilometers, |
|
||
| they stopped to change drivers. When they did this the UFO dropped |
|
||
| down to within 300 meters of their truck, then hovered nearby. As |
|
||
| they started driving again, the UFO moved across the road and paced |
|
||
| them again at varying distances until sunrise. A small orange light |
|
||
| accompanied the main object during the latter half of the sighting. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1977 - During the day a teacher and two canteen workers at Broad |
|
||
| Haven school in Pembrokeshire, Wales watched a silvery yellow |
|
||
| cigar-shaped object glide over a field emitting a loud humming sound. |
|
||
| Before it left the area, a human-like figure was seen briefly to step |
|
||
| out of the object and then go back inside. (Source: Albert S. |
|
||
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1977, case # 1386, citing J. A. |
|
||
| Brooks, Ghosts and Legends of Wales). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - Three school teachers, Mr. Moreno, Mr. Aguilar and Mr. |
|
||
| Coronado were on their way back to the town of Cocula, Mexico from a |
|
||
| late dinner, when around 2:00 a.m. they noticed bright flashes of |
|
||
| green, red and white light coming from a nearby hill. They stopped |
|
||
| their vehicle and got out to get a better look. They walked towards |
|
||
| the lights, which appeared to be about 300 meters away. The light |
|
||
| seemed to dim the closer they got to it. When they were about 20 |
|
||
| meters from it, they noticed that it was now an opaque egg-shaped |
|
||
| object, about 15 meters in length. It appeared to have three |
|
||
| antenna-like protrusions on top. The UFO now gave off a fluorescent |
|
||
| white glow. Curious, the three men continued to approach even closer, |
|
||
| and began to surround it. Suddenly, one of the men noticed something |
|
||
| moving very close to him and signaled the other two. All three of |
|
||
| them then saw a short "robot like" humanoid in a freshly dug ditch, |
|
||
| and it appeared to be still digging. The being was wearing a tight |
|
||
| fitting silvery outfit with a round helmet. The little man simply |
|
||
| ignored the trio and kept digging. Frightened all three men ran |
|
||
| across the field, got back into their vehicle, and drove away at high |
|
||
| speed. The next day they returned to the site and found numerous |
|
||
| ground traces, including the ditch. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
|
||
| Humanoid Contact Database 1978, case # 3507, citing J. J. Benitez, El |
|
||
| Arbol y La Serpiente). |

||

|
||
| 1994 - A 10-year-old boy in Barking, London, England witnessed a |
|
||
| domed object with reddish-orange lights underneath at 11:30 p.m. It |
|
||
| hovered silently at 300 feet altitude. (Source: UFO Newsclipping |
|
||
| Service, July 1994). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1997 - At 9:00 p.m. a 68-year-old woman was outside saying farewell |
|
||
| to her son-in-law in La Grange, Georgia when she noticed a |
|
||
| disc-shaped object in the southern sky. As it got closer, she saw |
|
||
| three white objects moving in unison and "floating." No one else was |
|
||
| outside or driving by while objects were in view. Ten minutes later |
|
||
| three female witnesses in Franklin, Georgia were outside when they |
|
||
| saw a multicolored spherical object approach at a rapid (but not |
|
||
| incredible) speed, then slow down near one house, then speed up again |
|
||
| and depart out of sight.(Source: John Thompson, MUFON case files, |
|
||
| cases # 970610E and 970217E). |

||
| 1997 - A 46-year-old man in Biloxi, Mississippi was cleaning his |
|
||
| carport 1t 2:30 p.m. when he heard the sound of jets and looked up. |
|
||
| He also saw three disc-shaped objects in the sky. He went and got his |
|
||
| binoculars, and when he returned there were now four objects with |
|
||
| multicolored lights. The UFOs slowly moved across the sky and went |
|
||
| out of sight. The sighting lasted seven minutes. (Source: J. R. |
|
||
| Gillia, MUFON case files, case # 970514bC). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1999 - In Campinas, Sao Paolo state, Brazil Gley Freitas observed a |
|
||
| large oval-shaped object on the ground. Next to the object stood two |
|
||
| tall humanoids, wearing tight-fitting outfits and helmets. Afraid, |
|
||
| the witness did not get any closer. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
|
||
| Humanoid Contact Database 1999, citing Thiago Luiz Ticchetti, |
|
||
| EBE-ET). |
