|
||
| |
|
||
| 1947 - The pilot and co-pilot of an airliner flying over Everett, |
|
||
| Massachusetts at 4:00 p.m. sighted a bright glowing orange |
|
||
| cylindrical object, 15 feet long and shaped like a cigarette, flying |
|
||
| at 150 mph. It had a glaring jet exhaust. At dusk two more pilots on |
|
||
| a civilian cargo plane saw another UFO that looked like a fuselage |
|
||
| without wings while flying over Bethel, Alaska. This second UFO |
|
||
| outdistanced their airplane. (Sources: Bruce Maccabee, MUFON UFO |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1950 - In the Atlantic Ocean approximately 100 miles southeast of New |
|
||
| York City (39.58 degrees N, 72.41 degrees W). At 10:00 a.m. EDT |
|
||
| Master Nils Lewring, Chief Mate Jacob Koelwyn, and the Third Mate of |
|
||
| the M/V Marcala sighted a ten-foot long cigar or ovoid object at |
|
||
| 50-100 feet altitude, flying with a churning or rotary motion. The |
|
||
| UFO was shaped like an egg cut lengthwise, and wobbled as it flew. It |
|
||
| also "sparkled in the sunlight." It accelerated away toward the end |
|
||
| of their fifteen-second observation. (Sources: Project Blue Book |

||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - At 2:20 a.m. in Phoenix, Arizona USAF Airman W. F. Vain |
|
||
| sighted a yellow ball of light that lengthened and narrowed to the |
|
||
| shape of a plate, then flew straight and level for five minutes. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - A woman with two children in Mount Vernon, New York reported |
|
||
| that they observed a white donut-shaped object for two hours, |
|
||
| beginning at 11:37 a.m. It emitted black smoke from its top and made |
|
||
| a 15-degree arc in the sky in 1.5 minutes. (Sources: Project Blue |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1959 - At 7:00 p.m. a white spherical object was sighted hovering |
|
||
| over Wakwapu, Papua New Guinea by Mr. R. Smith. It had coherent light |
|
||
| beams. There were green rays of light emanating from the base of the |
|
||
| object, one on either side at an angle of 15 degrees from the |
|
||
| vertical, and one aimed straight up vertically. All beams receded |
|
||
| into the UFO in a coherent fashion like retracting appendages. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1963 - Ronnie Austin and Phyllis Bruce, age 18, were driving to |
|
||
| Phyllis Bruce's home in Wayne City, Illiniois when they had a close |
|
||
| encounter with a humming, yellowish orange ball of light on Highway |
|
||
| 15 at 11:30 p.m. It paced the car to the woman's house, crossing |
|
||
| and recrossing the highway, and then hovered over a nearby barn when |
|
||
| they parked the car.While the UFO was hovering it changed its color |
|
||
| to a dull orange. They continued to watched the object from her house |
|
||
| with her family members for nearly an hour. When Ronnie left |
|
||
| the object buzzed his car repeatedly. He felt a cooling effect and |
|
||
| heard a loud whining sound on the car radio as the UFO made passes at |
|
||
| the car. His engine also missed and the speedometer was effected. |

|
||
| 1965 - At 1:30 a.m. on Highway 15, truck driver Don Tenopir, age 44, |
|
||
| had reached a point 25 miles from Abilene, Texas when his headlights |
|
||
| blinked and failed, but his truck's diesel engine did not. A |
|
||
| metallic, domed disc-shaped UFO swooped low from behind and dove |
|
||
| towards his grain truck, then landed on the road 30 meters ahead |
|
||
| causing a car coming from the opposite direction to leave the road in |
|
||
| order to avoid it. The object had an orange glow and was five meters |
|
||
| in diameter, 1.5 meters high, and had a "black spot" on its dome. It |
|
||
| took off toward the west, then turned south. The UFO made a sound |
|
||
| like wind blowing through trees, and gave off bluish sparks. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1965 - At 9:30 p.m. in Dallas, Texas 19-year-old J. A. Carter |
|
||
| observed an unexplained red and blue light that flew fast, straight |
|
||
| and level for 12 seconds. He thought at first it might have come from |
|
||
| a police car, but then a huge, orange object flying at ground level |
|
||
| passed him. (Sources: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; |

| |
|
||
| 1967 - A red domed disc-shaped object was sighted flying to the north |
|
||
| over Kidsgrove, Stoke-on-Trent, England at 11:10 p.m. It was the size |
|
||
| of two bungalows, and had 10 to 12 bright red lights arranged around |
|
||
| its circumference on the lower part. It changed direction to approach |
|
||
| the witnesses, and hovered a few seconds above the bungalows at the |
|
||
| top of the road. The witnesses were two married couples, Mr. & Mrs. |
|
||
| Brogan and Mr. & Mrs. Turner. The incident lasted about one minute. |

||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - Engineer Hugo S. Yepez was on a beach 25 km north of Arrecife |
|
||
| in Venezuela when he saw the water violently disturbed near a fishing |
|
||
| boat. A Saturn-shaped UFO, six meters in diameter, came out of the |
|
||
| water. It was gray, looked metallic, and hovered for a few seconds |
|
||
| just a meter above the surface. It then rose slowly to the east and |
|
||
| flew away. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, March 1968, p. 5; Ivan |

||
| |
|
||
| 1968 - Three young men walking along a street in Montreal, Quebec at |
|
||
| 5:00 a.m. noticed a three-foot tall, hairy, heavyset figure lurking |
|
||
| in some nearby shadows. It had long curving arms and was hunched |
|
||
| over; it suddenly made a tremendous leap and disappeared. (Source: |
|
||
| John Brent Musgrave, UFO Occupants and Critters). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1968 - On this evening in Cordoba, Argentina 11-year-old Graciela |
|
||
| Lourdes Gimenez was playing outside her home when she experienced a |
|
||
| bizarre event. "I wanted to go back indoors and watch TV," she told |
|
||
| reporters from the newspaper Cordoba, "and then just as I was about |
|
||
| to turn around...a white cloud, like mist, appeared on the front |
|
||
| path. It gradually came towards where I was, and then I could no |
|
||
| longer see the other houses, and I couldn't move or call out to |
|
||
| Mummy...and after that...I don't know anything more...until I found |
|
||
| myself on a square where there were lots of people and lots of little |
|
||
| boys..." She knocked at a nearby house, and the residents turned her |
|
||
| over to the police. She had somehow traveled from her Cordoba suburb |
|
||
| to the Plaza Espana in the heart of the city. After the incident, the |
|
||
| child suffered fits of weeping and cold chills. (Source: John A Keel, |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1972 - At dusk a domed, disc-shaped object was viewed through |
|
||
| binoculars, hovering over a mountain, by six witnesses in Baakline, |
|
||
| Lebanon. It had windows around its rim, and made no sound. It flew |
|
||
| off to the southeast after 15 minutes. (Sources: Walter Hamadi, FSR |
|
||
| Case Histories, June 1973, p. 12; APRO Bulletin, January-February |
|
||
| 1973, p. 1). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1973 - Three youths walking along Tallebudeera Creek Road, |
|
||
| Queensland, Australia were reportedly attacked by a two-meter tall |
|
||
| hairy humanoid with shiny eyes that stepped out of the bush in an |
|
||
| isolated area. The three youths fled the area. (Source: Albert S. |
|
||
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1973, case # 1823, citing Keith |
|
||
| Basterfield). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1973 - At 10:00 p.m. a flying boxcar-shaped UFO buzzed a car with |
|
||
| three male occupants east of Greenup, Illinois. It then hovered over |
|
||
| a nearby cornfield, and then over a farmhouse. The encounter lasted |
|
||
| 10 minutes. (Sources: Skylook, October 1973, p. 5; Francis L. Ridge, |
|
||
| Regional Encounters, p. 42). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1973 - A week to ten days after observing a mysterious light |
|
||
| maneuvering in the sky, the witness had to return to Phoenix and she |
|
||
| asked her brother to go along with her for company. At around ten |
|
||
| o'clock on this night, while driving up a hill somewhere in the |
|
||
| vicinity of Indio, California she began to receive pictures in her |
|
||
| mind and had a sense of presence. These "images" came in grays and |
|
||
| browns, and she tried to counter them by thinking of bright colors. |
|
||
| She found the gray images unpleasant, and had the sense of an |
|
||
| interior, with gray green walls, which had three vague "forms" in it. |
|
||
| Believing she was daydreaming and tired, she forced her concentration |
|
||
| back to her driving when she noticed colors reflecting on the |
|
||
| dashboard and asked her brother if there was something in the sky. |
|
||
| Both of them briefly observed a light over the highway changing |
|
||
| colors from blue, to green, to red, to yellow, and then to a |
|
||
| brilliant white. Then it vanished. It was in view for less than a |
|
||
| minute. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| Her brother was very excited. The trip continued and seemed to be |
|
||
| uneventful. However, later under hypnotic regression she was asked to |
|
||
| examine her image of a gray interior more closely. She described the |
|
||
| gray-green walls, with at least one black line, or slot, on the back |
|
||
| wall. She was with three vague shapes or shadows. It didn't feel like |
|
||
| a pleasant place, and she felt she had had another such experience at |
|
||
| another time. She was asked to go back to that experience and she |
|
||
| found herself in another room with a window looking out on an orange |
|
||
| sky. There was a white bench in the room, and the room seemed very |
|
||
| sterile. Then she found herself in a huge place with a domed ceiling, |
|
||
| and she was standing beside a 20 foot high crystal, set at an angle |
|
||
| so that it pointed towards the sky. It was green on the bottom half |
|
||
| and it revolved. There were other similar crystals in this place, |
|
||
| about five in all, and they were hooked up to a large piece of |
|
||
| machinery that was similar to a generator. The crystal was connected |
|
||
| to the machine by a rod. The whole room hummed. There were two other |
|
||
| people with her; one dressed in gray, looking older with grayish |
|
||
| hair. The younger man, wearing black, is taller. They pointed out a |
|
||
| formula to her, which was on the wall. It was composed of script |
|
||
| letters. She was brought out of the trance and given a post hypnotic |
|
||
| suggestion that she will recall the formula and be able to reproduce |
|
||
| it on a piece of drawing paper, which she does. (Source: David F. |

|
||
| 1973-123, citing case report by Dr. Alvin Lawson, John De Herrera & |
|
||
| Dr. William Mc Call). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1975 - At four o'clock in the morning a man and a woman driving near |
|
||
| Taltal, Antofagasta province, Chile had their van chased by a huge |
|
||
| orange ball of light. It was 100 feet from the side of the road when |
|
||
| it first started following them, and the driver was dazzled by the |
|
||
| reflection of the object's brilliance in his rear view mirror. Both |
|
||
| witnesses felt fear as the object pursued them for three minutes. |
|
||
| Finally, the UFO rose up swiftly to a pinpoint of light in the sky, |
|
||
| and then vanished. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, April 1976; FSR, |
|
||
| July 1976, p. 33; Carles Bowen, Saga UFO Report, December 1976, |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1976 - A ten-year old boy, Lorenzo Alvarez Vazquez, in the Bilbao |
|
||
| suburb of Bulla, Vizcaya province, Spain reported seeing two small |
|
||
| “extraterrestrial beings", about 1.20 or 1.30 meters high, on this |
|
||
| evening. They had green eyes and noses and wore silvery clothing. |
|
||
| They said nothing, but shone a light on the boy as they stood next to |
|
||
| a motorcycle. He watched them for five minutes, and then went to get |
|
||
| other local residents who, upon returning to the spot, saw nothing |
|
||
| although the boy said he could still see one of the entities. One of |
|
||
| the residents pointed a gun in the direction indicated by the boy, |
|
||
| who then announced the “spaceman” had taken refuge behind a car. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1979 - At 10:35 p.m. a 60-year-old woman and her grandson watched a |
|
||
| glowing object approach their location in Canoga Park, California |
|
||
| from the west. It then hovered silently above a nearby apartment |
|
||
| building. They described it as a domed metallic saucer with a |
|
||
| transparent dome. Inside the clear dome two humanoid figures could be |
|
||
| seen. They appeared to have oversized heads, but were human in shape. |
|
||
| The object tilted to one side, levelled off, then tilted in the |
|
||
| opposite direction and flew off behind some trees to the west. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1980 - At 4:50 in the afternoon Edith Sage was walking down an alley |
|
||
| on her way to some nearby shops in Medway, Kent, England when she saw |
|
||
| a ring of smoke and sparks coming from a spot nearby, and an unusual |
|
||
| craft suddenly materialized. It resembled a small helicopter without |
|
||
| any rotor blades, doors or engines. There was a large transparent |
|
||
| dome at the front of the object, and it had green and tan camouflage |
|
||
| markings on the side. She could see two men seated inside, who were |
|
||
| of normal height and wore gray jumpsuits. They looked very much alike |
|
||
| except one had long blond hair and the other had dark hair, and both |
|
||
| had olive skinned complexions. All sounds area suddenly ceased and |
|
||
| there was also a sweet odor in the vicinity. The men apparently |
|
||
| communicated with her via mental telepathy, but we don't know the |
|
||
| content of their communication. The craft then suddenly disappeared |
|
||
| in plain sight. (Sources: Jenny Randles, MUFON UFO Journal, issue # |

|
||
| 1991 - A couple in Flint, Michigan were stargazing in their backyard |
|
||

| flashlight beam at it, and it made a "sideways loop" before |
|
||
| continuing on. (Source: Shirley Coyne, MUFON case files, case # |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 2001 - At 12:40 a.m. a large, circular object was seen in the sky |
|
||
| surrounded by a number of small fragmentary objects, the size of 10p |
|
||
| pieces over Ricksmanworth, Hertford, England. The large object was |
|
||
| white and had a glow of red and blue, and was described as very |
|
||
| bright. At the same time in Port Talbot, Wales two large shining |
|
||
| white golf ball like objects were seen moving in and out of the |
|
||
| clouds. An hour later another strange formation of lights flew |
|
||
| overhead in Bushey, Hertford. At 2:30 a.m. over Glasgow, Scotland a |
|
||
| small white light was seen moving toward and away from a larger white |
|
||
| object. (Sources: British Ministry of Defense 2001 reports, cases |

||
| 2001 - At the local "Hospital del Torax" in La Paz, Bolivia nurse |
|
||
| Wilma Huanapaco was working the night shift in the intensive therapy |
|
||
| wing on the first floor when she was suddenly seized by a strange |
|
||
| stupor that paralyzed her body. She was unable to move her arms, |
|
||
| legs, or even her eyelids. Using tremendous effort, she finally was |
|
||
| able to turn around and was confronted by the figure of a tall man, |
|
||
| who was enveloped in a green aura and apparently headless. The figure |
|
||
| suddenly vanished in plain sight. Wilma remained in the stupor for |
|
||
| several more minutes. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |

| 3:00 p.m. two white circular objects were sighted over Dorking, |
|
||
| Surrey, moving at high altitude and speed. At 10:45 p.m. two strange |
|
||
| objects were sighted over Sheffield, West York followed by three |
|
||
| others. They were all bright and fiery colored, spinning and moving |
|
||
| very fast across the sky. Finally, at 11:15 p.m. a circular light was |
|
||
| seen zig-zagging across the sky over Worthing, West Sussex. |
