| May 7 |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1843 - An object with the "resemblance of a ship" sailed through the |
|
||
| air over Quebec City, Quebec, Canada and cast a shadow on the ground. |
|
||
| (Source: John R. Colombo, UFOs over Canada: Personal accounts of |
|
||
| sightings and close encounters, p. 209). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1945 - Several observers on a morning flight on a B-17 between Port |
|
||
| Lyauttey, Mauritania and Dakar, Senegal sighted a shiny metallic |
|
||
| saucer seen several times; it hovered. (Source: Harley D. Rutledge, |
|
||
| Project Identification, p. 250). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1948 - At 3:45 p.m. several witnesses including Kaiser and Bray in |
|
||
| Memphis, Tennessee saw 50 or more lights make sharp turns in the sky |
|
||
| for three hours. They flew from east to west. Not meteors, according |
|
||
| to astronomer. (Sources: Memphis Commercial Advertiser, May 8, 1948; |
|
||
| Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 1309, citing MUFON UFO |
|
||
| Journal, issue # 241, citing FBI). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1950 - A couple and their grandson were returning from a picnic at |
|
||
| 6:45 p.m. when they saw a silvery white object at treetop level. They |
|
||
| were about nine miles south of Ely, Nevada at the time. It hovered |
|
||
| for ten minutes, then oscillated "as if attempting to rise" and |
|
||
| suddenly flew out of sight at high speed. (Sources: Project Blue Book |
|
||
| files counted in official statistics, case # 721; Jacques Vallee, |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - Five very clear photographs were taken on this day at 4:30 |
|
||
| p.m. in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They show a |
|
||
| disc-shaped object with a double protuberance on top. Its estimated |
|
||
| size was 300 feet in diameter. An apparent discrepancy with some |
|
||
| shadows was explained by the Brazilian UFO investigator, Dr. Olavo T. |
|
||
| Fontes, as having been due to some broken leaves. The witnesses were |
|
||
| named Keffel and Martins. The Brazilian Air Force conclusion on the |
|
||
| photos is that the "object is several kilometers from the camera." |

|
||
| McCutcheon and her 13-year-old son reported to the police that, after |
|
||
| the lights blacked out in their home while watching television, they |
|
||
| saw an object about six meters in diameter near the house. It had two |
|
||
| aerials and a red flashing light, and it was emitting a low buzzing |
|
||
| sound. After a minute, it flew away. (Sources: Flying Saucer Review, |

||
| 1965 - At 7:30 p.m. a light seen by a witness named Marshall over |
|
||
| Oxford, Michigan split into two parts, one of which was copper |
|
||
| colored. Then two more lights joined up with the first two. One of |
|
||
| the objects may have been tumbling. A Project Blue Book "unknown." |

| |
|
||
| 1967 - A domed disc-shaped object hovered at 200 feet altitude over a |
|
||

|
||
| by five teenagers, including a 14-year-old named Ricky Banyard and |
|
||
| another named Glenn Coates. A muffled whistling sound was heard |
|
||
| coming from the object, and the object directed a vertical light beam |
|
||
| to the ground. They looked at it through binoculars. A series of |
|
||
| bangs and a "screaming" noise like a jet were heard when the object |
|
||
| took off. Charring of stones and other physical traces were found at |
|
||
| the site. (Sources: Edmonton Journal, May 8, 1967; APRO Bulletin, |

| |
|
||
| 1967 - Later that evening a nocturnal light followed a car with the |
|
||
| Luck family of three through the rural countryside of Arnett, |
|
||

|
||
| looked solid in appearance, according to the witnesses. (Sources: |
|
||
| APRO Bulletin, May-June 1967, p. 6; Coral & Jim Lorenzen, Encounters |
|
||
| with UFO Occupants, p. 47). |

|
||
| Zealand watched a metallic looking, oval-shaped object hover in the |
|
||
| sky near the sun for ten minutes starting at 2:03 p.m. The center of |
|
||
| the object had a "transparent-like sheen" and it was the apparent |
|
||
| size of a basketball held at arm's length. It moved away to the |
|
||
| northeast. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, May-June 1970, p. 1; Mrs. K. |

|
||
| diameter, landed on two legs between two highway tunnels on Highway |
|
||
| N518 near Petits Goulets, Drome department, France and was seen by a |
|
||
| single male witness named Tardy, who was driving nearby when the |
|
||
| incident occurred. The landing spot was on a geologic faultline. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - Mrs. Margaret K. Roffe, a nurse's aide at the local Veterans |
|
||
| Administration Hospital in Coatesville, Pennsylvania was walking from |
|
||
| one hospital building to another at around 9 p.m. when she heard a |
|
||
| swishing sound and saw a disc-shaped object descend and land on the |
|
||
| roof of Building #1. Four silver-colored legs emerged from the object |
|
||
| just before the object landed, and a ramp came down out of the bottom |
|
||
| of the craft. Three gray-skinned humanoid occupants emerged from the |
|
||
| craft by climbing down the ramp backwards. They were all less than |
|
||
| five feet tall and had long, large bald heads and arms with clawed |
|
||
| hands; their legs were short. They spoke an unintelligible language |
|
||
| among themselves in high, squeaky voices. She was able to see their |
|
||
| features well because the area was well lit by an illuminated dome on |
|
||
| the roof of the building. When the beings noticed her they re-entered |
|
||
| the object. The object then took off slowly, making a swishing sound, |
|
||
| and passed over some nearby trees, which were shaken violently when |
|
||
| the craft flew over. The legs withdrew into the object as it took |
|
||
| off. (Sources: Ted Bloecher, 1975 MUFON Symposium Proceedings, p. 56; |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1977 - A powerful spotlight from a silent, delta-shaped object lit |
|
||
| the forest in Undersaker, Jamtland, Sweden on this night. A very |
|
||
| large second object, also triangle shaped and with three large |
|
||
| windows rose in the beam of light. Both objects hovered over the |
|
||
| trees, then changed shape from triangular to rectangular. (Sources: |

||
| |
|
||
| 1980 - At 5:20 p.m. an object described as an "upside down soup bowl" |
|
||
| with a dome on top came out of cloud cover directly ahead of the |
|
||
| witness's car driving on I-40 near Valdese, North Carolina. It was |
|
||
| estimated to be 40 feet in diameter and had a red rectangular area on |
|
||
| the bottom. It made a U-turn, then banked away. The car's radio |
|
||
| experienced interference during the close encounter. (Sources: MUFON |

| |
|
||
| 1980 - At 9:05 p.m. a woman with the last name of Riley was driving |
|
||
| her car in Redding, California accompanied by her two teenage |
|
||
| daughters (15 and 14 years old) and by another 13-year-old girl, when |
|
||
| they were frightened by the sudden appearance of a patch of smoke or |
|
||
| fog that suddenly enveloped their van. All normal noises ceased, |
|
||
| while the women seemed to "float" inside a "cloud". Very worried, as |
|
||
| soon as they were able to leave the "cloud" they drove to a friend's |
|
||
| house, where they discovered that they could not account for 30 |
|
||
| minutes of time. During the hours that followed they suffered from |
|
||
| various physiological reactions and the following day, marks |
|
||
| resembling strange punctures appeared on the skin of two of the |
|
||
| girls. Soon afterwards they experienced strange dreams in which "men" |
|
||
| were pointing strange weapons or objects at their heads. The |
|
||
| witnesses reported the strange event to the police who advised them |
|
||
| to contact a private UFO organization. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, |

|
||
| 1988 - At 10:30 p.m. a blue sphere was seen at 600 meters altitude |

| |
|
||
| 1989 - A South African Mirage FIIG AF allegedly jet shot down a UFO |
|
||
| that flew in from the ocean over the Kalahari Desert, 80 miles north |
|
||
| of the South African border in Botswana. It had been tracked by radar |
|
||
| by the Frigate SA Trafalberg, and the Naval headquarters in Cape |
|
||
| Town. They retrieved a silver disc-shaped craft, and two Grey aliens |
|
||
| were captured alive. They had three fingers/toes on each limb, and no |
|
||
| sex organs. The object was reported to have been lens-shaped, 18 |
|
||
| meters in diameter with three landing gear. There were three aliens |
|
||
| onboard; two alive but one died soon afterwards. The alive alien was |
|
||
| eventually moved to the S-4 facility. NORAD apparently tracked the |
|
||
| object as it fell to earth. An experimental SDI weapon was reportedly |
|
||
| used to expedite the downing of the craft, which apparently had |
|
||
| already experienced some technical problems. South African and |
|
||
| American military personnel crossed the Botswana border without |
|
||
| permission in order to retrieve the craft. The bodies and materials |
|
||
| were transported to the US in a C-5A cargo plane from South Africa. |

|
||
| field behind her house. The craft was gray, with lights in the |
|
||
| corners and a tile-like surface on the exterior. Two of the lights |
|
||
| were orange and the third was an orange-red color. A beam of light |
|
||
| that followed the contour of the craft connected all three lights. |
|

|
||
| finding himself parked in the middle of the road, where a truck |
|
||
| almost hit him. Later under hypnosis he recalled being abducted and |
|
||
| taken inside the object. There he saw two kinds of humanoids of both |
|
||
| genders. One type of tall with (upside down) pear-shaped heads, huge |
|
||
| eyes, and no discernable mouths. The others were similar but shorter |
|
||
| and smaller. He heard a voice in his head tell him he was going to be |
|
||
| alright. He thinks he was experimented upon, but the only thing he |
|
||
| recalled was drilling a hole in his head at one point. (Source: |

|
||
| their house. They also saw an alien figure floating next to the |
|
||
