|
||
| trees." It came down about 50 meters away. It was round with two |
|
||
| black wheels and two small windows. Then the girls saw a tall man in |
|
||
| black trousers and a black and brown shirt appear near the object; |
|
||
| there was nothing unusual about his appearance. Later at the landing |
|
||
| site was found a circle of pressed down grass. (Sources: Vicente-Juan |

| 1968 - Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina - Mrs. Emilia Larrude de |
|
||
| Salazar was alone with her children at home this night when she heard |
|
||
| very loud knocking at the front door at around eight p.m. Without |
|
||
| opening the door, she pulled back a curtain and saw a very tall |
|
||
| man-like figure over two meters (6.6 feet) in height, that appeared |
|
||
| to have no hair or ears, and with a large mouth and teeth. The being |
|
||
| wore a tight fitting dull black outfit and had very long dangling |
|
||
| arms. The being's eyes also shone with a brilliant light. The stunned |
|
||
| witness could not move and watched the strange figure move away |
|
||
| backwards without taking his gaze off her. Emilia thought she could |
|
||
| hear a muffled laugh coming from the figure. (Source: Albert S. |

|
||
| metropolitan area, in Beverly, Massachusetts. It made a loud humming |
|
||
| sound when it crossed over a bridge, and flew with an up-and-down |
|
||
| motion. Many cars slowed and pulled over to look. the UFO carried a |
|
||
| reddish-green light on top. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, case |

|
||
| 1974 - On this night at Navegantes Beach, Santa Catarina State, |
|
||
| Brazil Antonio De Azevedo, an angler, was on the beach with his wife |
|
||
| when they saw a discoid object with multicolored lights land close |
|
||
| beside them. It was shaped like "two plates with the rims stuck |
|
||
| together." The vivid lights temporarily paralyzed the observers. From |
|
||
| the object emerged three "strange short beings wearing greenish |
|
||
| spacesuits". Their faces "seemed to reflect the green color of their |
|
||
| clothes." Conversing in a strange language, they quickly "examined" |
|
||
| the angler and his wife, then seized his wife and abducted her, |
|
||
| taking her into the object, which took off at incredible speed. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1977 - At shortly after midnight two college students, Rocco Cerullo, |
|
||
| and Michael Giovanelli, were walking from Sturno, Italy to Frigento |
|
||
| when they saw three red lights symmetrically arranged in the midst of |
|
||
| some bushes overlooking the road, They also heard an intermittent |
|
||
| "beep-beep" sound. Continuing on, near a quarry a mile from Sturno, |
|
||
| they saw a figure over two meters tall that was wearing a silver, |
|
||
| tight-fitting suit and helmet. Where the man's eyes should be there |
|
||
| were two blinking orange lights. The witnesses fled back to Sturno |
|
||
| where they found three friends, and all five returned by car. The |
|
||
| group saw the strange being advancing and retreating with mechanical |
|
||
| movements on a steep slope. He appeared to stand at an angle |
|
||
| perpendicular to the slope. Some rocks were disturbed and rolled down |
|
||
| the slope. The abandoned quarry appeared to be illuminated as if by a |
|
||
| halo, and they became frightened and went back to Sturno, returning |
|
||
| this time with two more witnesses. The tall humanoid was still there |
|
||
| with emissions of intermittent light from its helmet. When one of |
|
||
| them flashed a light at the figure, it emitted radio-like sounds. |
|
||
| When it approached the car and the sounds ceased. It came as close as |
|
||
| 15 feet, and beckoned, as though wanting the witnesses to follow. |
|
||
| Finally, at about 12:30 a.m. it emitted a blinding light from its |
|
||
| helmet and disappeared. The outline of an object with portholes had |
|
||
| been seen further down the slope. After the flash the group fled back |
|
||
| to the village. They returned again later that morning, and |
|
||
| everything was gone. Trampled bushes were in evidence, and what |
|
||
| looked like landing gear imprints were found in the quarry with three |
|
||
| holes arranged in an isosceles triangle. (Sources: David F. Webb & |

|
||
| 1977 - In Mediania Alta Loiza, Puerto Rico at 8 p.m. two witnesses |
|
||
| were sitting and chatting at the steps of their home when they |
|
||
| suddenly noticed a disc-shaped craft flying above a nearby palm |
|
||
| grove. The craft stopped to hover. It had a large white light on the |
|
||
| bottom and a green and a blue flashing light, plus several brightly |
|
||
| lit windows could be seen on its side. The object then shut off its |
|
||
| lights and vanished. Later that night a woman had gone out in his |
|
||
| yard to empty some cooking waste when she saw four little men wearing |
|
||
| silvery outfits standing by a water faucet. They seemed to have short |
|
||
| antennae like protrusions from their heads, large pointy ears, and |
|
||
| were bald headed. They had small mouths and their necks were long and |
|
||
| thin. They all had their arms crossed in front of their chest. The |
|
||
| woman screamed and ran back inside her house to alert the others, but |
|
||
| the little men had already gone when they came out. (Source: Albert |

|
||
| two o'clock at night between San Juan and San Luis on Highway 147 in |
|
||
| Argentina when they were circled closely by a group of UFOs. Their |
|
||
| truck's engine stopped and they got out, throwing themselves to the |
|
||
| ground and hiding among the roadside vegetation. The truck battery |
|
||
| was totally discharged and the truck could not be restarted. At dawn |
|
||
| dead goats and birds were found at the site. (Source: Jane Thomas, |

|
||
| morning five miles northeast of Mancos, Montezuma County, Colorado on |

||
| tongue, rectum, and sexual organs had been removed with surgical |
|
||
| incisions. (Source: Richard Hall, Zetetic Scholar, p. 50, case 42, |

|
||
| office building in London, England on the south bank of the Thames |
|
||
| River at 7:00 p.m. when she glanced out a window and noticed an |
|
||
| object moving at rooftop level. It was bright silver in color and was |
|
||
| shaped like an elongated parachute. At the bottom was a man |
|
||
| protruding from its tip. The parachute or cone-shaped object moved |
|
||
| horizontally, then stopped briefly above a building. It finally went |
|
||
| behind the National Theater and was not seen again. (Source: Albert |
|
||
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, case # 999, citing P. |
|

| |
|
||
| 1978 - At 9:50 p.m. two small lights descended from a hovering |
|
||
| "silo-shaped" craft in Necochea, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. |
|
||
| Their luminosity increased and decreased. After the two small lights |
|
||
| emerged from the larger object and reached at point in the sky over a |
|
||
| shed containing cars and machinery, and they just hung in the air for |
|
||
| awhile. (Source: Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, October 1978, |

||
| 1980 - A witness named Lister reported seeing a disc-shaped object |
|
||
| making a humming noise between Ashbourne and Derby, England at 12:20 |

|
||
| other independent witnesses. (Sources: UFO Newsclipping Service, |
|
||

||
| |
|
||
| 1985 - A UFO, shape unknown, rose from the ground near US Highway 95 |
|
||
| in Laughlin, Nevada at 10:00 p.m. It directed beams of light on cars |
|
||
| and a house, and radio interference was reported. (Source: Robert |
|
||
| Gribble, UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, case 1028). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1987 - At 10:55 p.m. a dark, domed disc-shaped UFO with a mast or |
|
||
| antenna on top came down quickly over the high security Bangor |
|
||
| submarine base housing, home of the Trident nuclear ballistic |
|
||
| submarine fleet in Bangor, Washington and hovered over a playground. |
|
||
| Two boys who were sons of military personnel, ages 8 and 10, were |
|
||
| sitting on the swings and saw an occupant with a big head, big |
|
||
| pointed "cat" ears, wrinkled skin, and a greenish complexion in an |
|
||
| open hatch. It had a thin, spindly body, long webbed fingers and |
|
||
| toes, and tabs or suction cups on the ends of the fingers and toes. |
|
||
| It also had a wrinkled mouth "like an old grandma's." The boys |
|
||
| estimated the being to be about six feet tall. It pointed a device |
|
||
| that directed a beam of energy at the two boys on the swings, causing |
|
||
| the levitation of the metal swings. The boys fled quickly into the |
|
||
| home of one of them and got his mother, who saw a row of lights in |
|
||
| the sky as the UFO took off and flew away. Mrs. Springsteen, the |
|
||
| mother of one of the boys, then had the boys draw separate sketches |
|
||
| of both the UFO and the alien, which were remarkably similar. |

| 1989 - At 9:00 p.m. EDT a mushroom-shaped UFO with a light hovered |
|
||

|
||
| girlfriend's house in Barrio Supe, Berisso, Buenos Aires Province, |
|
||
| Argentina riding on a friend's motorcycle, when he spotted about 100 |
|
||
| yards ahead of him two short figures that quickly crossed from the |
|
||
| road ahead of him. Both were about one meter tall, wearing what |
|
||
| appeared to be black hooded smocks tight around the waist, and maybe |
|
||
| an unseen belt. He could not make out any facial features, arms, or |
|
||
| legs. One figure followed the other, and both quickly disappeared |
|
||
| from sight. Further inquires revealed additional witnesses, and the |
|
||
| possibility of four to five additional humanoids of similar |
|
||
| appearance that floated just above the ground. (Source: Albert S. |

| |
|
||
| 1990 - At 3:00 a.m. five small gray-colored humanoids, with large |
|
||
| heads and huge bright eyes, walked in front of parked cars in Lake |
|
||
| Cartagena, Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, and then down a road. They had |
|
||
| large pointed ears, with three toes on each foot and three fingers on |
|
||
| each hand. Ten carloads of witnesses reportedly observed the five |
|
||
| humanoids walking down the dirt road, heading in the direction of the |
|
||
| Laguna Cartagena. One of the witnesses, Miguel Figueroa, pursued the |
|
||
| beings in his car, but as he approached them, their eyes 'lit up", |
|
||
| and he was somehow prevented from getting any closer. When the light |
|
||
| dissipated, Figueroa again gave chase, and managed to get a better |
|
||
| look. He described the figures as skinny and gray, varying between |
|
||
| three and four feet in height, with pear-shaped heads, large slanted |
|
||
| eyes, long pointed ears, long arms, with three fingers on each hand |
|
||
| and three toes on their feet. The beings got away by running down a |
|
||
| ravine. The following day, there were reports of discs flying out |
|
||
| over the Laguna Cartagena. Small footprints were found in the area. |
