| 1966 - Taylorsville, Indiana - At 5:55 p.m. an egg-shaped object |
| zoomed towards the driver of a car "like a meteorite," then slowed to |
| an approach speed of 60 mph. The engine and headlights of the |
| witness's car slowly faded and died as the UFO came near. The object |
| was metallic and had three red and three green flashing lights. It |
| gave off a buzzing sound like an electric transformer. The object |
| passed by the stalled car and increased in altitude to between |

| time. They sent their photos to Dr. G. Allen. |
| |
| 1969 - Thirteen miles southeast of Quincy, Illinois on State Highway |
| 96, three people saw an object shaped like a rounded triangle. It |
| came very low and close to their car and suddenly lifted the car 10 |
| feet off the road. The motor and lights continued running, but the |
| steering was out until the UFO left the area. (Sources: Mark |
| Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 287, |
| citing UFOLOG, No. 68, 1970; Walt Andrus, Skylook, January 1970, p. |

| |
| 1972 - Coming over a rise in the road in Murray Bridge, South |
| Australia 19-year-old mechanic named Maxwell had the motor and lights |
| die. They came back on, then sputtered several times. A diamond |
| shaped object with the top cut off was sitting on the ground 45 |
| meters away in a paddock. The car radio made a noise like a "computer |
| on TV", with a constant beeping rhythm. The object made a vertical |
| takeoff. Three holes were later found in the soil at the site of the |
| landing. (Sources: Keith Basterfield, UFO Research South Australia, |
| citing investigator A. Seer; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, |
| Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 253; Keith Basterfield, UFO |
| Research Australia, March 1982, p. 26). |
| |
| 1973 -  Military radar tracked a UFO near the Torino-Caselle Airport |
| in Turin, Italy; a business pilot named Ricardo Marano and others saw |
| a disc-shaped object with glowing blue-red colored rings hovering 365 |
| meters over the end of the runway. It darted back and forth in the |
| sky, so he gave chase in his Piper aircraft. The object zigzagged |
| away at 5,000 km/hour. (Sources: Phenomenes Spatiaux, December 1973, |
| p. 15; APRO Bulletin, June-July 1975, p. 1; Dominique Weinstein, |
| Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 38; Richard H. Hall,  The UFO Evidence, |

| |
| 1974 - At 6:10 p.m. Jacques M. was driving a car following that of |
| Pierre Errecoundo and Maggy Carof, on a UFO hunting expedition in |
| Grosscourt, Oise, France. It was after dark and the cars were using |
| their headlights. Jacques suddenly saw a man at least eight feet tall |
| in the light of his car's headlights, standing by the roadside. This |
| being was milky white in color, as if wearing a tight white coverall, |
| and his round head was without hair or facial features. |
| Panic-stricken, Jacques drove on past; then, reconsidering, he turned |
| around and drove back. He followed the same route but he saw nothing |
| more of the man. Meanwhile Pierre, noticing that Jacques was no |
| longer following him, had gone back to look for him. He saw a white |
| headlight beam and a red light pass in front of him in the distance, |
| apparently on the road, but silently, and it disappeared before |
| reaching an intersection. Then Jacques showed up in his car. When |
| they compared their stories and retraced his route, it was discovered |
| that Jacques could only account for eight of the 11 minutes he had |
| been gone. He was therefore interviewed later under hypnosis. In a |
| hypnotic trance he recalled that he had gotten out of the car and |
| watched the being for 3.5 minutes, and had felt that he was |
| benevolent. He also said that there had been a big yellowish white |
| light in the field, which "quickly disappeared." The being suddenly |
| vanished, after which the witness returned to his car and to his |
| conscious recollection of events. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1974-79 |
| (A1613), citing Maggy Carof & Jean Luc Rivera). |
| |
| 1977 - In Costilla County, Colorado a 3-year-old cow was found dead |
| and mutilated near the San Pablo Wilbert Maestas Ranch. A helicopter |
| had been seen in the vicinity with bright revolving lights. (Source: |
| Christopher O'Brien case files, citing Sheriff report and Valley |
| Courier, December 6, 1977). |
| |
| 1978 - At round 6 a.m. six to nine bright nocturnal lights rose from |
| the sea off the shore of Ventimiglia, Liguria, Italy, and then flew |
| away. There were several witnesses. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| issue 212). |
| |
| 1979 - At 3:25 a.m. four police officers from Rickmansworth, England |
| in two separate patrol cars chased a long luminous cigar-shaped |
| object at 500 feet altitude for over two hours. The object flew off |
| toward the southeast. A balloon cover story was later released to |
| explain their sighting. (Sources: Gary Heseltine, UFO Magazine (UK), |
| July 2003, p. 9; Larry Hatch, U computer database, citing FSR). |
| |
| 1979 - A peasant named Santiago was weeding a palm grove near La |
| Palma, Oaxaca state, Mexico at around 5 p.m. when eight very tall |
| armed men approached him. They had apparently come from a nearby |
| hovering disc-shaped object, which was emitting a green light. The |
| men wore green goggles, had communicators, and carried what appeared |
| to be "machine guns." They all had very dark complexions. They spoke |
| to the witness in Spanish and ordered him to cut off his penis with |
| his machete. The witness apparently wandered the rest of the night in |
| shock and was given medical treatment in the morning. (Sources: David |
| F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| A2227; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1979, case # 323, |
| citing Robert E. Bartholomew, UFO Lore). |
| |
| 1979 - On the same night a couple staying in a beachfront cabin in El |
| Combate, Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico saw a bright, multicolored |
| oval-shaped object hovering above the water ½ mile off shore. It |
| appeared to emit some type of fog or vapor; the object then began |
| blinking its lights on and off. The witnesses lost interest for a |
| short time and left their viewing point and and went back to watching |
| television.  A few minutes later an intense white light flooded their |
| living room from outside. Looking out, they could see some kind of |
| luminous flat platform approaching the shoreline, and on top of the |
| platform stood a four-foot-tall man. He wore a one-piece white outfit |
| with gloves and boots, a very wide belt, and a large helmet with a |
| dark visor that completely covered his face. The source of the white |
| light was a luminous white sphere directly on top of the platform, |
| which emitted some type of multicolored smoke. Upon seeing this the |
| couple screamed, causing the platform and its occupant to return back |
| to the hovering object offshore. At this point the witnesses returned |
| back inside and did not see the object depart. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1979, case # 70, citing Jorge |
| Martin, Enigma, issue # 1). |
| |
| 1982 - In Botucatu, State of Sao Paolo, Brazil Joao Valeiro da Silva |
| was awakened at 2:00 a.m. by a noise in his backyard. He opened the |
| door and was confronted by two strange little men and a woman, each |
| about three feet tall, and wearing brilliant blue coveralls. They |
| approached him, holding their palms upward as if to show they carried |
| no weapons. Despite the friendly gesture the witness fainted, and |
| nobody missed him until early next morning when his brother Simeon |
| awoke early at 5:00 a.m. and tiptoed into his room to borrow some |
| antacid medicine. He noticed Joao was missing and what looked like |
| signs of a struggle, so he awakened the household. His family found |
| Joao lying outside, nude and unconscious, and alongside him was his |
| clothing in a rumpled pile. They rushed him to hospital where he |
| recovered two hours later. Although Joao did not remember being taken |
| onboard a craft, he remembered that he found himself in a |
| hospital-like operating room, and the same small beings were there |
| that had appeared at his door. They wore clothing that looked it was |
| made from a rubber material. They talked to him and led him to a wall |
| bearing an outline of a human form. The beings would look at the |
| drawing and then at him, as if comparing the two. Then they left. A |
| naked girl then entered the room. She had long hair, was tanned or |
| dark, and carried an instrument about a foot long. When she grasped |
| his head he lost consciousness. An subsequent interview with his |
| family disclosed that a "sickly smelling oily substance" had covered |
| his nude body. Da Silva also complained that his genitals "were |
| burning". (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1982, |
| citing Gray Barker's UFO Annual 1983). |
| |
| 1989 - At 9:20 p.m. a delta-shaped object passed low over a road |
| south of Plombieres, Belgium. It had two large lights in front, and |
| was silent. (Source: Timothy Good, The UFO Report 1991, p. 45). |
| |
| 1989 - In Pensacola, Florida at 6:30 p.m. a huge glowing object was |
| filmed at it hovered over the Gulf of Mexico, then moved west. |

| |
| 1989 - Driving on Highway 98 near Gulf Breeze, Florida at 9:45 p.m. a |
| 50-year-old woman saw a dark arrowhead-shaped object in the sky. |
| She parked her car to watch. The object rapidly and silently |
| descended and hovered near power substation, then its bright lights |
| came on. (Source: Dan Wright, MUFON UFO Journal, May 1990, p. 21, |
| citing Carol and Rex Salisberry, case # 900422B). |
| |
| 1989 - Two very large triangular objects, 100 feet above the ground, |
| were encountered in the Midway area of Gadsden county, Florida at |
| 10:00 p.m. They caused unspecified electromagnetic effects on the |
| car. (Source: Paul Ferrughelli, Computer Catalog of UFO Reports, |
| 1988-94, case 219, citing UFO Newsclipping Service). |
| |
| 1992 - A 62-year-old man in Valley View, South Australia first heard |
| a rushing wind noise, then saw a huge half-oval shaped UFO at tree |
| top level. It was orange/copper in color and had a black underside. |
| It stopped 100 meters away. There were three flashing exhaust vents |
| underneath the craft, which was rotating counter-clockwise, 5-6 |
| exhaust vents in the rear of the object, and two rudders. It climbed |
| away. (Source: Keith Basterfield, UFO Research South Australia, case |
| SA92035). |
| |
| 1994 -  Guards at a factory in Guiyang, Guizhou, in southern China |
| described a close encounter with a UFO at 3:30 a.m. It had two very |
| brilliant spotlights, changing colors from yellow to green to red. It |
| passed through the area making a noise like a locomotive engine. |
| There was large scale tree damage, over an area of 160 square meters |
| of forest, having cut through some trees that were three meters tall, |
| yet leaving some trees that were interspersed untouched. One worker |
| was reportedly thrown several meters through the air during the close |
| encounter. (Sources: Paul Dong, UFO Magazine, April 2000, p. 38; Lynn |
| Picknett, Mammoth Book of UFOs, p. 156). |
| |
| 1995 - At 9:04 a.m. a huge rectangular object with several red and |
| white "V" stripes on it crossed within 330 meters of an Airbus 330 |
| airliner flying near Orly Airport in Paris, France. It had 5-6 |
| "exhaust pipes" on the rear. It then vanished. The sighting was brief |
| and lasted no more than 6 seconds. There was an occurrence of |
| anomalous radar echoes in the Central European surveillance area on |
| this day. (Sources: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. |
| 47; Illobrand von Ludwiger, Best UFO Cases--Europe, p. 109). |
| |
| 1998 - At retired U.S. Air Force man in Cross Lanes, West Virginia |
| sighted a silver disc-shaped object swaying in the sky above a |
| Boeing 727 airliner. He then witnessed a military jet come to chase |
| the object, which then shot straight up and was gone in a flash. |
| (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case #18071, citing Joseph |
| Trainor, UFO Roundup, volume 3, number 48). |
| |
| 2000 - At 6:45 p.m. in Galway, New York two lights were seen moving |
| in a circular motion, just above the trees, for several minutes. |
| They then became erratic in their movements. The sighting lasted a |
| total of 5 minutes. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Nov. 2000 webpage). |
| |
| 2000 - A farmer on his farm southeast of Lincoln, Nebraska heard his |
| dogs barking loudly at around 7:00 p.m. He looked outside and noticed |
| a very bright light in one of his fields, so he decided to walk out |
| there with his dogs. However, the dogs were afraid and refused to |
| follow him. As he got closer to where the lights were located they |
| suddenly turned off, and he decided to go back to the farm home. When |
| he got back his dogs acted aggressively toward him, as if they didn't |
| recognize him. He then ran upstairs to the second floor and used his |
| binoculars to search the field. He could now see a lighted |
| disc-shaped object on or near the ground, and he was able to see what |
| looked like lighted windows on the object. Next, he noticed movement |
| in a thicket near the disc, and suddenly a figure moved quickly from |
| the thicket to the object. Shortly after this the object brightened |
| and took off. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 18152; |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2000, case # 3490, both |
