| September 17 |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1897 - In the far eastern reaches of Siberia several people witnessed |
|
||
| a round UFO flying toward the northwest. It was seen for five minutes |
|
||
| in Antsiferova, Russia. (Sources: Luminieres dans la Nuit, issue # |
|
||
| 204; FSR, January-February 1969, p. 27; Larry Hatch, U computer |
|
||
| database, case # 214). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - Mr. and Mrs. Ted Hollingsworth of Tucson, Arizona sighted two |
|
||
| groups of three large, flat, shiny objects at 11:40 a.m. north of the |
|
||
| city. The daylight objects flew in tight formations: the first group |
|
||
| slowly, the second group faster. The sighting lasted for 2 minutes. |

||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - At 4:45 p.m. a silver bullet-shaped object was seen in the sky |
|
||
| by over a thousand people including military witnesses near the |
|
||
| Ciampino Airport, ten miles outside of Rome, Italy. It rotated from a |
|
||
| horizontal orientation to vertical with the point down. It had an |
|
||
| estimated altitude of 2500 feet and a speed of 150-180 miles per |
|
||
| hour. It left a luminous vapor trail and was tracked on radar. At the |
|
||
| same time in Pitigliano, Italy in Tuscany two hunters, Bacherini and |
|
||
| Formiconi, heard a series of detonations and then saw a round white |
|
||
| craft moving slowly with lateral oscillation as it advanced. It blew |
|
||
| toward the southwest. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the |
|
||
| Straight Line Mystery, p. 55-57; Richard Hall, UFO Reports from the |
|
||
| Files of the CIA, p. 21). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - At 7:15 p.m. a cigar-shaped object was seen through a 25x |
|
||
| telescope and was witnessed by at least 11 people in |
|
||
| Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-Dome, France. It was black with a luminous |
|
||
| tail, and the trail was exceptionally luminous. (Source: Aime Michel, |
|
||
| Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 57). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - Between Cenon and Vouneuil, France at 10:30 p.m. Yves David, |
|
||
| age 28, met a being in a diving suit who made friendly gestures. The |
|
||
| being was very small and had a voice "inhuman and incomprehensible." |
|
||
| The witness could not move throughout the encounter. He saw the |
|
||
| creature enter a three-meter wide by one-meter tall object sitting on |
|
||
| the road, and it took off "like lightning." It cast a greenish light |
|
||
| as it did so. (Sources: Le Figaro, September 30, 1954; Aime Michel, |
|
||

|
||

|
||
| (A0249), citing Aime Michel). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1955 - Pine Bush, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Bordes of New York City were |
|
||
| fishing at night when they heard a loud splash and a "gurgling |
|
||
| sound." They then saw a pink, iridescent, mushroom-shaped object rise |
|
||
| about 70 cm out of the water, then sink back into the reservoir. |
|
||
| Later, they saw the object again. It was about five meters long and |
|
||
| surrounded by turbulence. After it took off it reversed direction |
|
||
| several times without turning around and finally flew away at a high |
|
||
| rate of speed. (Sources: Arthur Constance, The Inexplicable Sky, p. |
|

|
||

|
||
| Century of Landings, p. 252). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1966 - Mr. and Mrs. Ronald MacGilvary of Cranes Beach, Massachusetts |
|
||
| saw a golden-white, luminous cigar-shaped object resting on the beach |
|
||
| at 4:45 a.m. It had two or three bright lights that flew in and out |
|
||
| of the craft. They moved around with an up-and-down skipping motion. |
|
||
| It left after an hour. (Sources: Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - At around 2:00 a.m. An anonymous witness observed an |
|
||
| eight-foot tall humanoid in a wooded area near Langley, British |
|
||
| Columbia, Canada. It was reported to be pink colored and covered with |
|
||
| scaly skin. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
|
||
| of Humanoid Reports, case A2085, citing John Brent Musgrave, UFO |
|
||
| Occupants and Critters). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1975 - At 8:20 p.m. two women in their fifties were driving on a |
|
||
| highway in Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts when they |
|
||
| briefly glimpsed a large humanoid creature. They noticed that as they |
|
||
| were traveling they were the only vehicle in the road, and there |
|
||
| was total silence in the area. Suddenly, a very tall gray figure with |
|
||
| bits of white hair appeared in front of the car. It had luminous |
|
||
| oblong shaped eyes and what appeared to be white whiskers. The |
|
||
| humanoid figure seemed to be in total "control" and had a "majestic" |
|
||
| air to him. It also had a long tail that narrowed towards the end. |
|
||
| The driver swerved to avoid hitting the creature, and temporarily ran |
|
||
| off the road, so they did not see the humanoid depart.(Source: CUFOS |
|
||
| case files, report dated May 6, 1976). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1976 - In Wingen, New South Wales, Australia at 3:30 a.m. a round, |
|
||
| bright object with an intense blue glow passed only 12 feet over a |
|
||
| car. The car engine stopped and the lights went out, and the |
|
||
| speedometer needle jumped about even though the car was stationary. |
|
||
| The driver, a 30-year-old man named Ryan, felt an intense heat from |
|
||
| the object, and his watch stopped working. He also reported that his |
|
||
| flashlight wouldn't work, even though it had new batteries. The UFO |
|
||
| made a low humming sound. Trouble with the performance of the car |
|
||
| persisted after the event. The close encounter lasted two minutes. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - At the Maatsuyker Island Lighthouse, Tasmania, Australia |
|
||
| electrical power failed twice at 9:20 p.m. when a big glowing light |
|
||
| flew by south of the island. It was seen by four men at the |
|
||
| lighthouse, including the main witness, a 47-year-old man named |
|
||
| Burns. (Source: Australian CUFOS Files, case file NA781219). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - In Torrita di Sienna, Tuscany, Italy at 8:15 p.m. two |
|
||
| witnesses watched a bright sphere descend over the area the same time |
|
||
| a electrical blackout occurred. Shortly after that a motorist, Sr. R. |
|
||
| Faralli, a 25-year-old man driving a Fiat 127, was on his way home |
|
||
| when his engine and lights went out, then a bright red object |
|
||
| descended over the road just ahead of him and hovered. It was a domed |
|
||
| disc, hat like in shape. He found he was paralyzed and could not |
|
||
| move, as he watched a panel open and two humanoids emerge and float |
|
||
| towards his vehicle. They were five feet tall and wore green |
|
||
| coveralls and helmets with aerials and face masks, and they floated |
|
||
| about four feet above the ground. They circled the car and appeared |
|
||
| to inspect it. Their skin also appeared greenish. They re-entered the |
|
||
| UFO, which took off with a flash of light and an explosive sound. The |
|
||
| witness suffered eye irritation. (Sources: Roberto Pinotti, |

|
||
| level before flying off slowly to the southeast. It had a neon |
|
||
| glow. (Sources: Robert McDowell, MUFON field investigation case |
|
||

| |
|
||

|
||

|
||
| commercial nor military aircraft. (Source: Peter Davenport, National |
