| 1914 - Flight Commander C. E. Rathbone of the Felixstowe Naval Air |
| Station, Suffolk, England returned from an early morning patrol in |
| his seaplane to make perhaps the first report of a UFO sighting by a |
| military officer. He reported that, "At 5:35 a.m. whilst on patrol, I |
| sighted an airship steering south-southeast with a silver-colored |
| envelope on the horizon, while flying at 1,300 feet, 27 miles south |
| of Orfordness." (Source: George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's |

| sight. They were a white or blue color. (Sources: Jan Aldrich, |

| sighting lasted 1.5 minutes. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook |
| UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1954 - Two spheres hovered over Ain Khabbeb, Morocco at 10:30 p.m., |

| |
| 1964 - A saucer-shaped UFO touched down briefly in Cofico, Argentina |
| around nine o'clock in the evening. It stood on a single pedestal |
| that looked like a pillar, and gave off a blinding light. Nearby the |
| UFO the witness, Mr. C. Dagota, got a blurred glimpse of two figures |
| moving about. (Source: Oscar A. Uriondo, p. 27). |
| |
| 1964 - On that same evening in Medford, Massachusetts at 11:45 p.m. |

| emerged from a vertical, sausage-shaped cloud. The light flashed at |
| irregular intervals. (Source: Roger Stanway and Pace, UFOs: |
| Unidentified, undeniable, p. 14, case 50). |
| |
| 1969 - At 11:00 p.m. a strange man stared into the bedroom window of |
| Mrs. Barbara Robinson in Springdale, Arkansas. She called the police |
| and Officer Ken Speedlin “discovered that anyone who looked through |
| the bedroom window would have to have been at least seven feet |
| tall…there was nothing in the area of the window on which a prowler |
| could have stood.” (Source: John Keel, Operation Trojan Horse, p. |
| 184; Northwest Arkansas Times, July 8, 1969). |
| |
| 1973 - On this night a woman passenger in a semi-trailer truck on |
| Route 2 was enroute to Perth and between Penong and Ivy Tanks, |
| Western Australia. She had been sleeping but awoke to observe a |
| bright egg-shaped object on the ground off to the left side of the |
| road. Walking towards an open door was a normal sized figure of human |
| appearance. A second occupant was seen seated inside the object, |
| through a squarish window. He was looking up at something in the |
| craft. As the truck drove past the light rapidly faded until by the |
| time she got the driver to stop only a single white light was visible |
| in the distance. Both figures wore white silvery suits. She said she |
| had been awakened by a "voice" just prior to her observation. |

| 1974 - At 11:20 a.m. a pilot flying at 1200 feet, heading southeast |
| out of Half Moon Bay Airport, California spotted a daylight UFO |
| hovering over some ABM radar domes on top of a ridge of low coastal |
| mountains. (Source: J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, report |
| dated September 10, 1974). |
| |
| 1976 - On this night bat-wing shaped UFOs were seen in Port Austin, |
| Michigan; the next morning US Air Force radar tracked five UFOs for |
| 30 minutes. (Source: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II. A |

| |
| 1976 - At around eight o'clock in the evening a 60-foot wide UFO with |
| windows landed only 100 feet from a truck in Accopampa, Peru. The |
| truck motor stalled. Two men emerged from the UFO. They stood about |
| 5" 8" tall (1.8 m), wore shiny spacesuits, and carried lamps. One |
| touched one of the witnesses, who felt a hot searing sensation and |
| suffered from temporary paralysis. He later claimed to be healed of |
| his arthritis pain. Landing traces were found at the site. (Source: |
| David Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, |
| case A1495, citing La Razon, September 8, 1976). |
| |
| 1978 -  The young witness, Juan O. Perez, had gone out at dawn to |
| bring in a herd of horses in Venado, Tuerto, Argentina. At 6:45 a.m. |
| as he rode his horse through the morning fog he felt something fly |
| overhead. Next, several objects appeared and began maneuvering |
| overhead, emitting powerful beams of multicolored, changing lights. |
| His horse panicked and he barely managed to ride back home. When he |
| got home, his father reprimanded him and ordered him to go back to |
| get the horses. Back in the field he encountered a large round object |
| on the ground; it had a dome on top with several round windows. A |
| door in the craft opened, and a seven-foot tall being wearing gloves |
| and a cylindrical helmet appeared. The being seemed to be attached to |
| the object by some type of breathing apparatus. He invited Juan to |
| come inside. They boy then tied his horse to the craft's ladder and |
| climbed in. Inside, he was able to see a panel with buttons, tables, |
| and a small robot-like being that was apparently busy |
| disecting the large bones of some animals resembling either cows or |
| horses. Afraid, the boy jumped out of the object and onto the ground. |
| The tall being followed him out. He then requested that the giant |
| give him one of the giant's gloves, as proof of the experience, and |
| when he removed the glove he then saw that the being had green, |
| claw-like hands with blue metallic nails. The being then pricked |
| Juan's right arm, apparently extracting some blood in the process. As |
| he rode back toward home carrying the glove, two flying objects |
| caught up with him and emitted a small slab and sphere that descended |
| and brushed by the horse, pulling off the glove like a magnet. |
| Another curious feature of his report was that while inside the UFO |
| the young witness attempted to touch the being and the object several |
| times, but was prevented from doing it by what appeared to be an |
| invisible barrier. Six days prior to the incident the witness's |
| father had found a mutilated cow in one of his pastures. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, 1978 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, case |
| # 919, citing Jacques Vallee, Confrontations: A Scientist's Search |
| for Alien Contact). |
| |
| 1978 - A man on his way to bed in Sassello, Italy heard strange |
| sounds outside his house and looked out his bedroom window. He saw |
| two round black objects sitting in the street. They made sounds like |
| an incomprehensible radio dialogue, e.g. "bla, ble, bli, bla." |
| (Source: International UFO Reporter, October 1979, p. 15). |
| |
| 1978 - On this same night in Cordoba, Argentina a luminous UFO, |
| giving off red and blue sparks, started to emit a high-pitched |
| whistling sound at 11:15 p.m. Power outages occurred throughout the |
| neighborhood. The first UFO was joined by two or three other UFOs in |
| an undulating motion, and together they flew off in a V-shaped |
| formation. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, November 1978, p. 14). |
| |
| 1981 - Dogs ran and barked when a DC-10 sized cigar-shaped object |
| flew silently low over the trees in Pollock Pines, California. It |
| flew slowly at 10 mph to the southeast. |
| |
| 1986 - While driving in Evansville, Indiana at 3:30 a.m. two military |
| Air Traffic Controllers encountered a 55-foot long cigar-shaped |
| object with fins on the top and bottom. It floated at 3 mph from |
| behind a tree, and was in view for 15 seconds. It had red, blue and |
| green lights. It turned south, and then vanished. That evening at |
| 7:30 p.m. four extremely bright red lights in a tight rectangular |
| formation, traveling northeast to southwest, made a sharp angled turn |
| to the right, then flew off to the northeast ascending at a 45 degree |
| angle. It gave off a burst of black smoke when it turned. (Source: |
| Francis L. Ridge, Regional Encounters, pp. 99-100). |
| |
| 1988 - At 11:00 p.m. in Trun, Orne, France a driver saw an orange, |
| barrel-shaped object with ailerons as it flew over the road fast, |
| made a turn, and then hovered over the roadway, apparently waiting |
| for him. It was completely silent. When the driver turned off the car |
| headlights, the object left. (Source: GEIPAN, case # 15). |
| |
| 1993 - On this night in her home in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia |
| abductee Kelly Cahill awoke to see a slender, seven-foot tall being |
| with red eyes standing next to her bed. The creature was only inches |
| away from her as see felt a suction on her chest. It wore a black, |
| hooded cloak. It appeared to vanish. (Source: Kelly Cahill, |
| Encounter, p. 76). |
| |
| 1994 - At 1:30 p.m. a domed, disc-shaped UFO with a big contrail |
| moved to the north slowly over Cazeres, Haute-Garonne department, |
| France. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 327). |
| |
| 1994 - Beginning at 8:30 p.m., a multi-colored, cone-shaped object |
| zig-zagged and expelled probes over a two and a half hour period over |
| Rockville, Indiana. There were 5 witnesses. (Source: Croda Norma J. |
| Croda, MUFON field investigation files, case # 941108S). |
| |
| 1994 - An orange, V-shaped object flew over Edmonton, Alberta, |
| Canada. It had a large light with four others on either side; it |
| appeared "misty". (Source: Frank Ducks, 1994 Canadian UFO Survey, |
| case # 99). |
| |
| 1995 - The witness had fallen asleep in a chair in Ashland, New |
| Hampshire when shortly after eleven p.m. he found himself lifted into |
| a globular object and transported over a city where he saw people |
| looking up at him. He then flew above what appeared to be an African |
| savannah and muddy river, whereupon the craft then went up through |
| the atmosphere an into outer space. He was then placed inside a |
| transparent tub or tank filled with breathable fluid by two short |
| Grey humanoids, while a third being observed. He remarked that he was |
| surprisingly calm about the experience although he would normally be |
| panicked. After a few more minutes he was allowed to walk to a window |
| or screen. A huge metallic cylinder, apparently somekind of space |
| station, began to fill the view from the left side of the window. |
| There were white and blue lights running the entire length of it. |
| Later, before being returned, he saw four other species of beings |
| together in one place. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1995, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle). |
| |
| 1998 - A bedroom visitation also reportedly occurred in Bothell, |
| Washington on this night. At two o'clock in the morning the witness |
| was awakened by a white light appearing suddenly in a dark bedroom. |
| Sitting up in bed, the witness observed two creatures staring up her, |
| surrounded by the white light. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, Seattle, September 1998 log). |
| |
| 2000 - Three days after a witness had filmed a strange UFO over the |
| area, 31-year-old Gloria Siboa was walking home at 1:30 in the |
| afternoon in Santa Cruz, Manila, the Philippines when she was |
| approached by four women wearing black nun's habits that obscured |
| their facial features. They seemed to be lost, and asked Gloria for |
| directions. They failed to understand her directions, and invited her |
| to board their van and accompany them to their destination. |
| Strangely, she felt unwilling to resist and got in the van. As soon |
| as she boarded the van one of the women covered her nose and mouth |
| with a drug-laced handkerchief, knocking her out. Three days later, |
| Siboa woke up still in the van that was headed to an unknown |
| destination, and she was still blindfolded. She jumped out screaming |
| for police. She could not explain where she had been for the last |
| three days. Her abductors had taken her wallet and ID. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, 2000 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, case |
| # 3937). |
| |
| 2006 - A multi-colored, oval-shaped object with blue, yellow and |
| green lights passed 30 feet above the witness's car as he was driving |
| in Greensburg, Indiana. The witness could hear a voom and a whistle |
| coming from the object.  (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, August 2006 webpage, report uploaded October 30, |
| 2006). |
| |
| 2008 - At 7:30 p.m. three grayish, bullet-shaped objects flew near |
| witnesses in London, Ontario. At 10:00 p.m. a bell-shaped object, |
| stationary at first, was sighted in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It then |
| headed off the the south very fast. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2008 |
| Canadian UFO Survey, cases # 666 and 671, citing MUFON and Alberta |
| UFO Study Group). |
| |
| 2009 - In Newton, Iowa at 2:00 a.m. three bright orange, oval-shaped |
| craft were sighted moving slowly over Interstate 80. The sighting |
| lasted three minutes. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, August 2009 webpage, case uploaded December 12, |
| 2009). |
