|
||
| the woods, according to the two witnesses. (Sources: San Francisco |

|
||
| UFO flew to the east slowly, then turned toward the south and flew |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1962 - A bright, light-bulb shaped object flew in toward the east, |

|
||
| minutes. (Source: FSR, July 1974, p. 32). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1973 - A box-shaped object approximately 8 feet in diameter was |
|
||
| sighted by some fishermen in Bonneville Carteret, Normandy, France at |
|
||

|
||
| nets. (Sources: Courier Ouest, December 7, 1973; Roland Godefroy, |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1973 - At 6:00 p.m. several teenagers in Levittown, Pennsylvania |
|
||
| observed a UFO with lights "flying funny" up and down the Delaware |
|
||
| River. It had three flashing red lights, and made no sound. It next |
|
||
| hovered in the sky for one minute, then vanished in the clear sky. At |
|
||
| 6:35 p.m. several city residents of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania |
|
||
| watched a UFO over the Linden Avenue area of the city, including some |
|
||
| who viewed it through binoculars. It looked like an acorn, with a |
|
||
| green bottom. It was blinking slowly and was surrounded by a gray |
|
||
| mist or haze. At 11:25 p.m. a cartographer and his wife saw UFO with |
|
||
| four blinking white lights and a red light in the center while |
|
||
| driving in northeast Philadelphia on Interstate 95. The object had a |
|
||
| rectangular-shaped bottom, and a hat-shaped side view; it flew to the |
|
||
| north, met up with a cluster of lights, and then flew off towards |
|
||
| Bristol. (Sources: Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, December 3, 1973; |

||
| with large round glowing eyes 18 inches wide, was seen in Korning |
|
||
| Wood, Quebec, Canada at a distance of about 200 feet from the house |
|
||
| of the witness. It possessed a large round head, long arms, and a |
|
||
| bright red glow that emanated from behind its head. It disappeared |
|
||
| behind the observer's house. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
|
||
| Contact Database 1973, citing Marc Leduc, CASUFO). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1973 - A 150 foot wide disc hovered in front of the car of a Mr. & |
|
||
| Mrs. Gerard while driving on the interstate highway near Wilsonville, |
|
||
| Oregon this evening. The object spun in a circular motion, and |
|
||
| traveled up the I-5 freeway. It had circular portholes two to three |
|
||
| feet deep, one inverted C-shaped area with no lights, and a blue |
|
||
| light on top. It went behind a hill and was gone from view. (Source: |
|
||
| J. Bernard Delair, UFO Register, volume 5 (1974), case #1174). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - Stephen Jenkins of Croydon, Greater London, England woke up at |
|
||
| 3 a.m. to hear clearly audible footsteps on the stairs. Two beings |
|
||
| appeared on the landing. Their body texture was "something like |
|
||
| closely compressed pulpy leaves." Their faces were reddish, with |
|
||
| yellow eyes with hard black pupils. Around them was a translucent, |
|
||
| faintly luminous "box like structure." In a moment they were gone. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - Driving home near Frederick, Wisconsin at 10:30 p.m. William |
|
||
| Bosak, a 69-year-old farmer, noticed something parked on the opposite |
|
||
| side of the road ahead. Slowing down to look, his headlights |
|
||
| illuminated an object with a curved, transparent front, behind which |
|
||
| could be seen a figure visible from the waist up, with arms upraised |
|
||
| over his head, as if in terror. The figure seemed to be a little |
|
||
| taller than a tall man, and had a square face with hair "sticking |
|
||
| straight out from the sides." It had long, narrow ears that stuck |
|
||
| straight out, brown furry arms, and a hairy torso. The eyes were |
|
||
| large and protruding. Frightened, Mr. Bosak sped up past the object, |
|
||
| which was surrounded by a kind of fog. As he passed, the car |
|
||
| "darkened, as if in shadow," or his headlights dimmed, and the |
|
||
| witness heard a soft whooshing sound. No ground traces were found at |
|
||
| the site the following day. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
|
||
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1974-58, citing Dewey |
|
||
| Berscheid, Edward E. Lightner, and Jerome Clark; Mark Rodeghier, UFO |
|
||

|
||
| flying around missile sites and nearby towns in Carter, Conrad, |
|
||
| Fairfield, Great Falls, Montana and at the Fort Benton J-5 Missile |
|
||
| Site in Chouteau County, Montana. (Source: Roberta Donovan, Mystery |
|

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1975 - Sandra Larson awoke at four o'clock in the morning to find two |
|
||
| beings standing beside her bed in Fargo, North Dakota. They were the |
|
||
| same type she had seen on August 26th: about six feet tall, brown |
|
||
| vinyl like bodies with metallic looking arms, and mummy-like heads |
|
||
| bandaged up in tape (with the eyes remaining visible). They floated |
|
||
| her out through the bedroom wall to a field several blocks away, |
|
||
| where they took her onboard a UFO. When she was taken from the craft |
|
||
| they were in a desert landscape with white sand, lit by a celestial |
|
||
| body resembling the moon. She was taken into a square building where |
|
||
| a humanoid--she thought of him as a scientist--interrogated her using |
|
||
| telepathy. Then she was taken home, again floating through a closed |
|
||
| door into her house. She thought about taking a bath, and the |
|
||
| entities asked her what "soap" was; she took them to her basement and |
|
||
| gave them a cup of laundry detergent. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted |
|
||
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1975-60 |
|
||
| (A1437), citing Jerome Clark, UFO Report, August 1976, p. 21; David |
|
||
| F. Webb, Proceedings of the 1976 CUFOS Conference, p. 270). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1977 - A Waimata Valley, New Zealand farmer had awakened at three |
|
||
| a.m. when he heard his dogs barking in the kennels. When he went |
|
||
| outside he saw a 50-foot in diameter saucer-shaped object on the |
|
||
| ground, about 100 feet away from his house. It was red in color and |
|
||
| he could see it had two open doors or ports. Near his dog kennel were |
|
||
| two silver-suited humanoid figures of slight build, about 4 feet 8 |
|
||
| inches tall; they were carrying off one of his dogs, which appeared |
|
||
| to be unconscious. He got his gun and opened fire on the creatures, |
|
||
| hitting one. They dropped the animal and the figure that was hit |
|
||
| staggered off into the bushes while the second one entered the |
|
||
| object, which then took off. The dog was comatose for a few minutes, |
|
||
| but later recovered. Friends visiting the farmer later found him in a |
|
||
| state of shock, fearful that they would return for retribution. |
|
||
| Footprints were found at the site. The incident also occurred during |
|
||
| a rash of UFO sightings in the area. The next evening there were |
|
||
| reports of hovering objects in Invercargill and Gore Matura, New |
|
||
| Zealand at 10:20 p.m. and shortly after 11:00 p.m. (Sources: Allan |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1977 - Five 45-foot in diameter domed discs hovered over Roseville, |
|
||
| Michigan at 12:20 a.m. Three more discs joined them. Two figures were |
|
||
| seen inside each dome. All flew away to the northwest after a couple |
|
||
| of minutes. (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator, October 1978). |

|
||
| Old Bridge, Oyster Creek, Point Pleasant, Red Bank, Toms River, and |

||
| Wall Township, New Jersey as well as Charleston and other parts of |
|
||
| South Carolina. The earliest report in the day appears to have come |
|
||
| from Charleston, South Carolina at 9:30 a.m. and the last report may |
|
||
| have been at 3:45 p.m. in New Jersey. The Oyster Creek, New Jersey |
|
||
| skyquake was heard near a nuclear power plant, which caused some |
|
||
| concern. (Sources: Dallas (TX) Times-Herald, December 17, 1977; New |
|
||
| York Times, December 20, 1977; George Eberhart, A Geo-Bibliography of |

||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - A nine minute long videotape was made of a luminous object |
|

| |
|
||
| 1978 - Thirty-one year old Emilio Carrascosa Atienza saw an intense |
|
||
| white light land 200 meters away from his car while he was driving in |
|
||
| Chiva, Valencia, Spain at 11:00 p.m. Its brightness decreased as he |
|
||
| approached the spot in his car. He then heard a penetrating foreign |
|
||
| voice on his car radio, and next two reddish-orange balls of light |
|
||
| appeared near the horizon before winking out. Dr. Willy Smith of the |
|
||
| UNICAT project rated the witness as highly reliable. (Sources: |
|
||
| Richard F. Haines, Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO, p. 139; |
|

| |
|
||
| 1979 - While stopped for gas at night on the Corso Europa highway in |
|
||
| Genoa, Italy F. Zanfretta, age 27, was approached by a tall figure |
|
||
| with an oval-shaped head who wore a loose fitting windbreaker. At the |
|
||
| same time a fog like mist surrounded the gas pumps and the figure |
|
||
| ordered Zanfretta to accompany him. Zanfretta obeyed, and he was |
|
||
| eventually taken onboard a craft which had landed in a wooded area |
|
||
| near Marzano. While flying over the area he was reportedly shown the |
|
||
| earth from outer space, looking like a marble free-floating in space. |
|
||
| The occupants of the craft also showed him numerous photographs of |
|
||
| friends and others, whom he did not know. He was also shown a large |
|
||
| glass cylinder filled with a blue liquid, inside of which floated a |
|
||
| huge hairy ape-like "Bigfoot" creature. In another container he saw a |
|
||
| horrible creature resembling a prehistoric pterodactyl. In yet a |
|
||
| third container he saw a large toad-like creature. While onboard the |
|
||
| craft he met a tall green-colored reptilian like humanoid who called |
|
||
| himself "Dargos", whom he had met on a previous occasion. The tall |
|
||
| humanoid reportedly offered Zanfretta a transparent sphere that |
|
||
| contained a rotating golden pyramid as proof of their existence, but |
|
||
| Zanfretta refused to accept it. Allegedly, local residents reported a |
|
||
| power outage near Marzano on this night. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, |
|
||
| Humanoid Contact Database 1979, citing CUN Genova; David F. Webb & |

|
||
| Contact, p. 38). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1987 - At 3:00 a.m. Ed Walters heard some strange voices outside his |
|
||
| home in Gulf Breeze, Florida speaking Spanish. Thirty minutes later |
|
||
| his dog started barking, so he went out on his porch to check and |
|
||
| when he pulled a blind he saw a four foot tall Grey humanoid being |
|
||
| with large almond-shaped eyes looking at him. The being wore wome |
|
||
| type of shield over its eyes, chest, and lower body and was holding a |
|
||
| lighted rod in its right hand. The creature turned around and ran |
|
||
| towards a nearby open field. Ed Walters chased the creature, and was |
|
||
| suddenly struck by a blue beam of light. He was unable to move his |
|
||
| legs and fell to the ground, as if the beam was holding him down. |
|
||
| When he was finally able to move, he ran back to the house and |
|
||
| grabbed his camera and his gun. He photographed a large, bowl-shaped |
|
||
| craft with darkened portholes and an illuminated orange ring on the |
|
||
| bottom. He could also see a beam of blue light shining down from it |
|
||
| onto the ground. (Sources: Donald Ware, MUFON UFO Journal, issue # |
