|

| December 24 |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1903 - A priest named Ivanku Petrovszky saw a glistening ball of |
|
||
| light illuminate the countryside in Szuhabaranka, Hungary. The object |
|
||
| landed and shadowy figures returned to it. A man who had gone to a |
|
||
| well at the same time was never seen again. The case of his |
|
||
| disappearance was closed ten years later but still unsolved. (Source: |

||
| Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery, case |
|
||
| 255, citing the UFO Report Annual 1983, p. 43). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1944 - A red ball of light climbed to the altitude of a Beaufighter |
|
||
| from the 415TH NFS squadron while it was flying over Karisruhe, |
|
||
| Germany on this night. The two man crew, Baker and McFalls, watched |
|
||
| the light pace their aircraft for awhile and then climb away from |
|
||
| them. (Sources: Kenneth Arnold and Ray Palmer, The Coming of the |
|
||
| Saucers, p 126; Gordon I. R. Lore, Jr. and Harold Dennault, Jr., |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1953 - Ten silverly oval-shaped objects were sighted flying |
|
||
| horizontally over El Cajon, California at 8:04 a.m. Two Navy F-9F |
|
||
| Panther jets attempted to catch up with them but failed. The UFOs |
|
||
| were flying at 50,000' altitude at a speed in excess of 400 knots. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1960 - A domed disc, estimated to be 20 feet in diameter, was seen |
|
||
| near a mountain top in Durango, Colorado at midnight. It had a ring |
|
||
| of lights around its rim. It pulsated and was in view for 15 minutes. |
|
||
| A dog panicked in an agitated reaction, and later died. (Source: |

|
||
| Outstanding UFO Reports, case 117, citing APRO Bulletin, January |

|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1963 - At 7:25 p.m. in Rowarth, Cheshire, England a farmer named |
|
||
| Chandler had his car battery die while a UFO flew by. His cows also |
|
||
| became ill. (Sources: Orbit, April 23, 1963; Mark Rodeghier, UFO |
|
||
| Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 21). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1965 - At 6:36 p.m. a yellow colored flying object with three bright |
|
||
| spotlights was sighted by 13 young women working at a factory as it |
|
||
| flew from the northwest to the west over Gifu prefecture, Japan. It |
|
||
| kept changing its speed and apparent size as it flew. Fourteen |
|
||
| minutes later a disc shaped object with a flat bottom and two |
|
||
| spotlights flew toward the northeast on a horizontal trajectory. It |
|
||
| was seen for four minutes. (Source: Y. J. Matsumura, Flying Saucers, |
|
||
| October 1966, p. 39). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - On this evening a couple driving near Tucson, Arizona saw a |
|
||
| blob of red light. The engine and headlights of their car then quit. |
|
||
| The light came near the car, passed overhead, and moved away to the |
|
||
| south. The engine and lights both came back on as it departed. Two |
|
||
| minutes before this sighting, both witnesses had seen a star-like |
|
||
| object fall to earth. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving |
|
||
| Vehicle Interference, case 230, citing CUFOS). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1970 - Two independent sets of photographs showing luminous balls of |
|
||
| light in motion were taken on this night in Alamogordo, New Mexico. |
|
||
| Three teenagers--Larsh, Neal, and Sellars--took a photograph of two |
|
||
| lights in parallel motion at 10:00 p.m. They had had sightings of |
|
||
| similar phenomena earlier in the week and were prepared to take a |
|
||
| time exposure on this night. They made their photograph using a |
|
||
| Pentax camera on a tripod. The two lights were also seen by another |
|
||
| resident, Hjalmar Bowlby, earlier that same evening. Remarkably, they |
|
||
| weren't the only ones who were able to catch an image of a UFO using |
|
||
| a camera that night. At 10:35 p.m. Jerry Mozer, also of Alamogordo, |
|
||
| New Mexico took a photo of a luminous point in motion, making an |
|
||
| abrupt change of course resulting in a "buttonhook" effect on the |
|
||
| image. Both photographs are reproduced below. (Sources: Alamogordo |
|
||
| Daily News, December 31, 1970 and January 3, 1971; Data-Net Report, |

|
||
| 1972 - The Romanian ship Maldoveanu while in the Atlantic Ocean off |
|
||
| Cape Chidley, Labrador, Canada sighted a UFO at 3:00 a.m. The object |
|
||
| continually changed shape and color, from round to oval, and from red |
|
||
| to yellow to a bluish white. (Source: Ion Hobana and Julien |
|
||
| Weverberg, UFOs from Behind the Iron Curtain, p. 279). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1975 - A huge disc covered the entire N19 highway in Bar-sur-Aube, |
|
||
| France. It vanished at 8:10 p.m. when a car approached. (Source: |
|
||
| Lumieres dans la Nuit, May 1976). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1975 - At 10:00 p.m. power circuit breakers were tripped four times |
|
||
| when a glowing ball of light came down near the ground in |
|
||
| Ploubazlanec, Cotes-du-Nord, France. A 0.2 meter area of burnt grass |
|
||
| was found at the site were it apparently touched down. (Source: |

||
| Jean-F. Boedec, Les OVNI en Bretagne: Anatomie d'un Phenomene, p. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1989 - At 5:50 p.m. a man in Sambreville, Belgium took a ten minute |
|
||
| video of a round white shape in the sky. It could be seen moving and |
|
||
| rotating slowly. An hour later, at 6:50 p.m., a woman made another |
|
||
| videotape, this time of a luminous globe in the sky over Nimy, |
|
||
| Belgium. The videotape shows a white ball with a black ring around it |
|
||
| and plasma. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 303; Timothy Good, |
|
||
| The UFO Report 1991, p. 56). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1989 - At 11:00 p.m. a Russian L29 Trainer flying between Chelyabinsk |
|
||
| and Korkino, Russia sighted a yellowish white cigar-shaped object |
|
||
| flying at 8000 meters altitude. It vanished when the pilot attempted |
|
||
| to approach. (Sources: Timothy Good, The UFO Report 1992, p. 61; |
|
||
| Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 46). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1992 - Twenty civilian witnesses and police southwest of Monroe, |
|
||
| Louisiana watched a silent, boomerang shaped UFO with bright beams of |
|
||
| light pass over cars in a forested area at 6:00 p.m. and bounce up |
|
||
| and down for six minutes. The object was videotapted by one of the |
|
||
| witnesses, a 39-year-old man. (Source: W. L. Garner, Jr., MUFON UFO |
