| 1952 - At 9:00 p.m. EDT aeronautical engineer Paul R. Hill along with |
| his wife Frances saw two amber lights in the sky make a U-turn over |
| Hampton, Virginia and then revolve around each other. They were |
| joined by two more amber lights, then all four sped off toward the |
| south at an estimated speed of 500 mph. They moved jerkily when |
| flying slowly. (Sources: Edward J. Ruppelt, Report on Unidentified |
| Flying Objects, p. 208; Richard F. Haines, Project Delta: Report on |
| Multiple UFO, p. 115, citing the Newport News Press). |

| masked. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, citing CISU). |
| |
| 1971 - In the early evening three people were driving down a road in |
| Grossweier, Germany when a large, bright red disc flew overhead and |

| about one meter in diameter. It descended suddenly and hovered just |
| above a police cruiser. The entire incident lasted 15 minutes. In |
| Malmesbury, Western Cape, South Africa an object that changed color |
| moved up and down at great speed south of the town at 8:30 p.m. There |

| |
| 1978 - At nine p.m. in Farningham, England a metallic gray |
| cigar-shaped object descended over a highway, causing a car on the |
| highway to stop. The witness reported that the car was then levitated |
| inside a beam and brought up inside the craft through an opening. |
| (Source: Harry Hatch, U computer database, case 12725). |
| |
| 1978 - On this night J. R. B. and his family observed a dome-shaped |
| metallic object land in a field in Iracauba, Brazil. A short humanoid |
| with greenish skin and large oval-shaped eyes emerged briefly from |
| the craft. It then re-entered the object, which took off. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, citing GEPUC |
| Brazil). |
| |
| 1979 - A flat metallic disc with rivets visible was seen by two men |
| fishing on Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territory, Canada at around |
| 11:00 a.m. They were able to take 12 photographs of the object as it |
| passed over their boat. Reportedly a wristwatch being worn by one of |
| the men malfunctioned. (Source: Coral E. Lorenzen, APRO Bulletin, May |

| |
| 1980 - At 10:30 a.m. a Civil Air Patrol cadet along with several |
| other witnesses observed a dull metallic, circular object maneuvering |
| near Pecos, New Mexico. The cadet got closer to the object after it |
| landed in a nearby clearing and took some photographs. He then |
| observed a human looking figure dressed in a metallic suit emerge |
| from the object and walk a few feet away from it. Moments later the |
| figure returned to the object and it quickly took off and flew |
| towards the northwest. The cadet was later approached by a mysterious |
| man who wanted him to turn over the photographs to him. (Source: |
| Timothy Good, Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-Up, p. 407). |
| |
| 1989 - Sudden light appeared over New Harmony, Indiana at 8:15 p.m. |
| and a silent disc-shaped object, six feet in diameter, appeared less |
| than 100 feet overhead. It had rods or beams of light of different |
| colors and lengths protruding from it. The witness was a 61-year-old |
| woman, and the encounter lasted two minutes. (Sources: Francis L. |
| Ridge, MUFON field investigation file database, case 890802; MUFON |
| UFO Journal, December 1989). |
| |
| 1994 - In the city of Dusseldorf, Germany six police officers saw a |
| multicolored disc-shaped UFO the size of an airliner at 10:15 a.m. |
| The craft had some sort of protrusion, and red and green blinking |
| lights. It was viewed through binoculars. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case 16447). |
| |
| 1994 - A large black disc, making a beeping sound, flew over a police |
| radio tower in La Chapelle-la-Reine, France at 11:40 p.m. It flew |
| away toward the west. Ten minutes later a bright illumination was |
| seen ahead of two witnesses driving on Route D16 south of La Vaudoue, |
| France. A domed disc-shaped object was the source, and it flew away |
| toward the southeast. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue #327). |
| |
| 1994 - A silent triangular craft flew over De Bary, Florida at 9:15 |
| p.m. The two witnesses saw the low flying craft with lights drop a |
| ball of light into some nearby woods. (Source: Paul Ferughelli, |
| Computer Catalog of UFO Reports, 1988-94, case 1792, citing MUFON |
| Florida). |
| |
| 1996 - A 66-year-old retired farmer named Dionisio was walking |
| through a field around noon in Los Villares, Jaen, Spain. He had just |
| sat down on a rock next to a tree to rest when he noticed a very |
| strong and pungent odor in the air and heard a low humming sound. He |
| next noticed an object hovering near the ground next to some nearby |
| power lines. The craft was shaped like a dome and was a shiny |
| metallic color. It had several black glassy oval shaped windows. It |
| was about three meters in length and a meter and a half in height. On |
| one side he noticed some inscriptions, part of which resembled |
| "IOIO." From the top of the object there were also some cables that |
| were apparently connected to the nearby power lines. |
| |
| Dionisio also noticed a curious fact. If he moved back about three |
| meters he could no longer see the object, but when he moved forward |
| again he was again able to see it. Suddenly he saw three figures |
| standing next to the object. Two were men and one was a woman, and |
| they stood about six feet tall. They were wearing tight fitting, |
| one-piece silvery outfits. Their faces were Asian in appearance, with |
| high cheekbones, very pale skin, and slanted eyes. They had large |
| hands with five long, well defined fingers and their mouths were |
| slit-like. They also wore silvery boots. Suddenly he felt something |
| strike his chest, and glancing up he noticed that the woman was |
| signaling him, and one of the men was kneeling down next to the |
| craft. He began hearing voices in his head. Frightened, he tried to |
| hide behind some rocks, and then heard the humming sound and smelled |
| the pungent odor again. When he emerged from behind the rocks he |
| noticed that the humanoids and the object were gone. Investigators |
| found ground traces at the site. A mysterious looking rock was also |
| found at the site. During the same time others in the region saw low |
| flying lights and objects. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1996, case # 3040, citing Lorenzo Fernandez Bueno & |
| Iker Jimenez Elizari). |
| |
| 1998 - Several local residents of Valentin Letelier, Chile reported |
| encountering a strange little creature about 50 centimeters tall on |
| this night. The being had a full head of hair and was spotted walking |
| around the local plaza for several hours that night. Two of the |
| witnesses have reported talking to the dwarf, who spoke in a gruff |
| voice and told one of the witnesses that he was hungry. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1998, case # 3637, |
| citing Paranigma Chile). |
| |
| 2000 - The 17-year-old witness reported encountering a large glowing |
| sphere in a field in Columbus, Nebraska at 11:40 p.m.. The object had |
| small protrusions on the bottom. Stunned and unable to move, he stood |
| watching the object when a five-feet tall Grey humanoid with huge |
| pitch-black eyes approached him. The being stared at him intensely |
| and seemed to analyze him. It had small holes for ears, no nose, and |
| a small slit for a mouth that never changed position. After about |
| five minutes the figure and the object disappeared. The witness |
| remained paralyzed for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2000, case # 3795, |
| citing UFO Abductions Raw Data Page & UFO Watch). |
| |
| 2003 - At around 8:30 p.m. two teachers in their fifties had gone for |
| a short evening walk across the fields of Barnoldswick, Lancashire, |
| England and were almost back home when they looked up and saw the |
| figure of a man in the sky. He was dressed in what looked like black |
| overalls, and he was descending as if by parachute. He came down |
| about 50 yards away behind the last house in the row, so they thought |
| he was going to land in the meadow beyond. But when he was only about |
| 15 feet from the ground he leveled off and began to slowly |
| accelerate, climbing gently and heading off in a northerly direction. |
| They watched as he crossed the valley and disappeared into the |
| distance. They did not see any means of propulsion on the man. |
| Nothing visible was attached to his back and he made no sound, at |
| least nothing they could detect. Visibility was excellent that |
| evening. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2003, |
| case # 3637, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle). |
