| April 20 |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1897 - Capt. James Hooton was hunting in the vicinity of Homan, |
|
||
| Arkansas when he heard the noise of a steam engine and found an |
|
||
| object in a clearing. It looked like a cylinder with pointed ends, |
|
||
| lateral wheels, and had a horizontal blade overhead. Hooton spoke |
|
||
| with a man who wore dark glasses and walked behind the craft. There |
|
||
| were three or four occupants in total. The witness was told this was |
|
||
| indeed "The Airship" and that it used compressed air for propulsion. |
|
||
| Capt. Hooton saw the wheels spin when the craft rose and flew away. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1945 - A priest gathering mushrooms near Reneve, France around 6 p.m. |
|
||
| saw a 17 cm tall midget with gray hair and a gray beard. It popped up |
|
||
| less than a foot away and ran off into the forest. The tiny being |
|
||
| wore dark-red coveralls with a pointed helmet. (Source: Henry-Jean |
|
||
| Besset, Phenomenes Spatiaux, September 1975, p. 21). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1950 - Mr. Robertson was driving about 13 km west of Lufkin, Texas |
|
||
| when he saw a round object about three meters in diameter hovering |
|
||
| about 7 meters above him. It had a dull red glow. It took off with a |
|
||
| "swooshing roar" as sparks flew from a slot under it. Minutes later |
|
||
| the witness felt a burning sensation on his face. (Sources: Flying |
|
||
| Saucers, July 1959; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
|
||
| Landings, p. 195). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - A dark cylinder was sighted over London, England at 10 o'clock |
|
||
| in the morning, flying at 40,000 feet altitude. It was moving from |
|
||
| north to south at a speed in excess of 1,500 mph. Jet interceptors |
|
||
| couldn't reach or catch it. (Source: Toronto (Ontario) Globe & Mail, |
|
||
| April 21, 1952). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - At 9:15 p.m. several people at a drive-in theatre in Flint, |
|
||
| Michigan saw several groups of UFOs fly over. There were two to nine |
|
||
| objects in a group, and a total of 20 groups. The UFOs were shaped |
|
||
| like "oat kernels" and made changes in direction like conventional |
|
||
| aircraft at a high rate of speed, but a red glow surrounded each |
|
||
| object. The weather was clear at the time, and the sighting was |
|
||
| reported to the Air Force by a Naval Aviation student. (Sources: |

|
||
| Study of Multiple UFO, p. 121, citing UNICAT). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - At 9:30 p.m. a commercial pilot named J. Fidelli, on the |
|
||
| ground at McClellan Air Field in Sacramento, California saw eight |
|
||
| luminous objects moving in a undulating motion at a high rate of |
|
||
| speed. They appeared to be following an aircraft during a landing |
|
||
| approach. The formation of objects passed thru 20 degrees of arc in |
|
||
| 6-8 seconds. They made no sound. (Source: letter to Civilian Saucer |
|
||
| Intelligence from witness dated April 10, 1952; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: |
|
||
| A History. 1952: January-May, p. 51). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1964 - Flying over Ross Island near McMurdo Sound Naval Air Station |
|
||
| in Antarctica in the early morning hours, six members of the crew of |
|
||
| a U.S. Coast Guard C-130 spotted nine bright white flying objects in |
|
||
| a "V" formation. The UFOs came from above and paced along the left |
|
||
| side of their transport plane. The aircraft entered a strange haze at |
|
||
| 12,000 m altitude, and it experienced a total failure of the radar, |
|
||
| radio, and engine. However, during this temporary engine failure |
|
||
| the plane did not loose altitude. The entire encounter lasted about |
|
||
| 45 minutes. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, March 1981, p. 1; Richard F. |
|
||
| Haines, Project Delta, p. 141). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - At 3:30 a.m., near Estacion Casalegno in Santa Fe, Argentina |
|
||
| the conductor of a train, Enrique R. Galimberti and another crew |
|
||
| member saw what appeared to be bright multi-colored lights about 120 |
|
||
| meters away from the tracks. Thinking it was a fire, Galimberti |
|
||
| stopped the train and both men attempted to approach the scene, armed |
|
||
| with fire extinguishers. When they got close to the area they saw the |
|
||
| multicolored lights moving around in a circular motion, and then both |
|
||
| observed a square metallic object over three meters in width behind |
|
||
| the lights. It had several lighted windows around its edge. At the |
|
||
| front the UFO had what appeared to be a "rotating wheel" that emitted |
|
||
| multicolored light flashes. Several short humanoid beings were seen |
|
||
| walking around the object. They wore silvery gray shiny uniforms, |
|
||
| appeared to be bareheaded, and carried what resembled "rifles" or |
|
||
| weapons on their shoulders. The witnesses used the train horn to |
|
||
| check for a reaction from the creatures but there was none. Another |
|
||
| railway employee, Salvador Pomidoro, reported seeing the same square |
|
||
| metallic object on the ground about 15 minutes earlier. (Source: |
|
||
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1967, citing S. von |
|
||
| Wurmb, Hoy newspaper, Asuncion, Paraguay). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - At 8:30 p.m. two dark objects with two bright flashing red |
|
||
| lights and two dimmer white lights flew over a lake in Georgetown, |
|
||
| Massachusetts. They made no noise. At 9:40 p.m. a mushroom shaped |
|
||
| object with a frosted white light on top and a red light on bottom |
|
||
| hovered over Bolton, Massachusetts. It had turquioise colored lights |
|
||
| fore and aft, and eight yellow lights on its perimeter. (Source: |
|
||
| Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 347). |

|
||
| 1969 - At 7:30 p.m. at a farm on Harwood Island, New South Wales, |
|
||
| Australia a 25-foot diameter hat-shaped disc flew low over the sugar |
|
||
| cane crop. It emitted a strong beam of light that swept the ground |
|
||
| for 360 degrees. (Source: Bill Chalker, The Oz Files, p. 125). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1969 - On this evening in Itaucu, Goias state, Brazil, 25-year-old |
|
||
| Adelino Roque was on his way to the local Serradinho ranch on his |
|
||
| horse when a bright beam of light struck him from above. He soon |
|
||
| found himself inside some kind of dark, drum-like object that was |
|
||
| totally silent. The object was moving through the sky at a very high |
|
||
| speed. He blanked out and could not remember anything after that. He |
|
||
| awoke lying on top of a rock next to the Paranaiba River, miles from |
|
||
| his original location. Meanwhile, his horse had been found tied up at |
|
||
| another ranch, apparently unharmed. Sr. Roque also appeared to be |
|
||
| unharmed except for a strange bruise on his side. He did not remember |
|
||
| seeing any entities or hearing anyone talk to him during the time he |
|
||
| was missing. Soon after his experience he began neglecting his work |
|
||
| and drinking heavily. He also reportedly fell in love with his |
|
||
| 17-year-old niece. A month later Roque again was reported missing, |
|
||
| this time along with his niece. On June 12, both Roque and his niece |
|
||
| were found dead under unusual circumstances. Some said they had been |
|
||
| poisoned. (Sources: Gordon Creighton, FSR, September-October 1970, p. |

| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1969, case 66, citing Willy |
|
||
| Silva, Revista Brasileira OVNI). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1969 - At 11:00 p.m. Mr. & Mrs. Phillips were driving on Highway 11 |
|
||
| one mile west of Browntown, Wisconsin when a UFO came directly over |
|
||
| their car, then hovered just 100 feet away off to the right. Its |
|
||
| color changed from orange to yellow-orange to red as it moved. It was |
|
||
| kettle-drum shaped, and had lights streaming from the bottom in a |
|
||
| cone shape. The UFO followed their car home, for a total of five |
|
||
| minutes. The UFO made a "tweeting" sound. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, |
|
||
| May-June 1969, p. 8; Jay Rath, The W-Files: True Reports of |
|
||
| Wisconsin's Unexplained Phenomena, p. 64). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1972 - At 2:45 a.m. neighborhood dogs in Scituate, Massachusetts |
|
||
| began barking. A policeman on patrol noticed a light beam on the |
|
||
| ground, and when he glanced up he saw a perfectly round, white |
|
||
| glowing disc-shaped object move overhead. It descended into a marshy |
|
||
| area behind some trees. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: |
|
||

|
||
| 1977 - Mark Marston, age 11, was looking for bird's nests in a hedge |
|
||
| in Herbrandston, Pembrokeshire, Wales when "a red glow appeared in |
|
||
| the sky 50 yards away." A few moments later a figure appeared and |
|
||
| drifted through a closed gate at the other end of the field. It was |
|
||
| dressed in a silver suit, like a diver, with a large helmet and a |
|
||
| square, featureless face. It approached Mark rapidly, who turned and |
|
||
| fled for home, screaming. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, |
|
||
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977, citing Randall |
|
||
| Jones Pugh for BUFORA). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1980 - Barrio Aguerre, Ciudad Treinta Y Tres, Uruguay. At 12:40 a.m. |
|
||
| 19-year-old Luis Vital Carneiro was returning home after visiting |
|
||
| friends during a powerful electrical storm in the region. After |
|
||
| entering a field through a gate he noticed a strange light cavorting |
|
||
| over the field. Then, about 50 meters away near a barbwire fence, he |
|
||
| noticed two short humanoid figures. Curious, he jumped the fence and |
|
||
| approached the figures. At a distance of ten meters from the |
|
||
| humanoids he noticed that they were projecting lights from the top of |
|
||
| their heads down toward the ground. These lights suddenly turned red, |
|
||
| and the two figures disappeared to re-appear 30 meters from the road. |
|
||
| As Carneiro attempted to jump the barbwire fence again, a beam of |
|
||
| light struck him that knocked him senseless. When he regained his |
|
||
| composure Carneiro ran to his aunt's house nearby and told her what |
|
||
| had happened. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| Mrs. Orialis De Los Santos, his aunt, went out into her garden where |
|
||
| she saw in the nearby field a group of four humanoids that seemed to |
|
||
| quickly glide back and forth above the ground. Accompanied by Vital, |
|
||
| they then counted a total of thirteen humanoids that "glided" about |
|
||
| in different directions, within an area of about 100 square meters. |
|
||
| For almost an hour the witnesses watched the strange humanoids cavort |
|
||
| about as if playing. Vital Carneiro again attempted to approach one |
|
||
| of the humanoids but again was knocked down by a beam of red light |
|
||
| that seemed to come from the creature's head. He fell to the ground |
|
||
| feeling as he had been struck by lighting. Concerned for his safety, |
|
||
| Mrs De Los Santos ran to her stricken nephew and dragged him inside |
|
||
| the house. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| From inside the house they could still see the short humanoids |
|
||
| gliding about, plus at about 500 meters distance, behind some trees, |
|
||
| a large bright silvery light appeared on the ground that began slowly |
|
||
| rising up and down. The witnesses described the humanoids as 60 cm in |
|
||
| height, with very large heads, triangular faces, large pointed ears, |
|
||
| and rounded eyes. Their bodies were small and "rectangular" in shape. |
|
||
| They wore a kind of gray uniform and a rounded cap from where the |
|
||
| beams of light originated. They seemed to communicate among |
|
||
| themselves in quick bursts of "buzzing sounds." They glided quickly |
|
||
| across the ground and according to Mrs. De Los Santos they stood on |
|
||
| small rounded platforms. However, Carneiro does not recall seeing the |
|
||
| platforms. (Sources: UFO Newsclipping Service, June 1980, p. 12; |
|
||
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1980, case 62, citing |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1980 - At 5:30 a.m. in San Mateo, California two witnesses in a car |
|
||
| on I-280 watched five bright metallic Saturn-shaped objects silently |
|
||
| travel the length of the San Andreas Reservoir. They flew straight |
|
||
| and fast to the southeast. They reflected sunlight, and were seen |
|
||
| against the background of hills and the overcast sky. (Sources: Allan |

|
||
| Year Report, p. 25 & 155). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1980 - In the suburbs of Palatine, Illinois at 8:20 p.m. a father and |
|
||
| son viewed a grayish-black, crescent-shaped UFO with white lights at |
|
||
| the ends of each curve. The white lights flashed every 3-5 seconds. |
|
||
| The craft made abrupt changes in direction as it flew. They viewed it |
|
||
| through binoculars for most of their seven minute sighting. (Source: |
|
||
| John Timmerman, CUFOS News Bulletin, September 1980, p. 4). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1981 - Walter and Judy Austin, a 42-year-old married couple, were |
|
||
| flying in a Cessna 210 at 1,600 feet over Cannon Airport in Reno, |
|
||
| Nevada at 10:30 a.m. when they sighted a domed disc-shaped UFO. The |
|
||
| UFO was seen below their horizon at a distance of only 300 feet. They |
|
||
| described it as a solid object, shiny like chrome, which tilted and |
|
||
| fluttered as it flew. It was small, onlly 3-5 feet in diameter. It |
|
||
| tilted, accelerated rapidly, then sped away toward the cloud |
|
||
| shrouded mountains. It did not appear on radar. (Source: MUFON UFO |
|
||
| Journal, October 1981, p. 6; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence Volume |
|
||
| II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 26 & 125). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1981 - Sr. J. De Souza Ramos was driving on Highway 101 near |
|
||
| Linhares, Brazil in Sao Paulo state at 6:30 p.m. when a bright light |
|
||
| overtook and blinded him. He recovered consciousness five days later. |
|
||
| When he awoke he was in a remote part of Brazil, over 1000 kilometers |
|
||
| away to the northwest, and without his car. (Sources: Thomas E. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1982 - Sometime after three a.m. a man in County Tyrone, Ireland |
|
||
| awoke trying to scream and immediately became aware of two unusual |
|
||
| humanoid figures standing by his bed. One was short and the other |
|
||
| tall and lumpy, and the second being somehow had its head inside the |
|
||
| witness's mouth. The beings were communicating in a language that |
|
||
| resembled the ringing of bells. The witness could not move or yell |
|
||
| because he was paralyzed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
|
||
| Contact Database 1982, case # 1508, citing Steve Gerrard, Northern |
|
||
| UFO News # 101). |

| |
|
||
| 1984 - Four people in a car in Beaverton, Oregon reported watching an |
|
||
| aerial "dogfight" between a blue UFO and a yellow UFO at 10:04 p.m. |
|
||
| The blue UFO zapped the yellow fireball with a red beam, apparently |
|
||
| causing it to disintegrate because its light went out. The blue |
|
||
| object then shot straight up. (Source: Bob Gribble, International UFO |
|
||
| Reporter, May 1984, p. 16). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1986 - At 7 p.m. three people were in a boat on a reservoir near |
|
||
| Pacajus, Ceara State, Brazil when a gray colored UFO, the size of a |
|
||
| car, swooped down silently out of sky and approached the boat, then |
|
||
| flew back up and away. (Source: Bob Pratt, UFO Danger Zone: Terror |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1986 - On the same night a group of police officers in Kremmling, |
|
||
| Colorado saw a mysterious flying triangle with lights. It hovered |
|
||
| over the southern shore of Green Mountain Reservoir, then took off to |
|
||
| the southwest. A jet aircraft flying in the sky at the time was |
|
||
| observed taking evasive action and veered to avoid a collision with |
|
||
| the UFO. (Source: Philip Imbrogno, Contact of the 5th Kind, p. 27). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1989 - At 10:30 p.m. a couple driving in a car in Westchester County, |
|
||
| New York saw huge lights on what they described as an object four |
|
||
| times the size of a Boeing 747. Three other witnesses in a different |
|
||
| location also reported seeing it. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer |
|
||
| database, case # 15341, citing Bob Gribble). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1992 - On this night a guard on duty at the Oderzo Army barracks in |
|
||
| Oderzo, Italy suddenly found himself paralyzed and observed two |
|
||
| humanoid figures wearing what appeared to be cloaks. The figures |
|
||
| walked by him and then disappeared from sight. Around the same time |
|
||
| other military personnel saw an object shaped like a cigar descend |
|
||
| towards the ground from the sky. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
|
||
| Contact Database 1992, citing CISU website). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1998 - In Oakley, Michigan a stationary bell-shaped object was |
|
||
| videotaped for 58 seconds by three women. It had three lights, red, |
|
||
| white, and blue in color, that pulsated in sequence. It was lost from |
|
||
| view at 10:15 p.m. (Source: Dan R. Wright, MUFON UFO Journal, July |
|
||
| 1999, p. 16). |
|
||
| |
|
||

|
||
| mechanic, and his wife Lia Simmons sighted a disc-shaped UFO from |
|
||
| their home in Rialto, San Bernardino County, California as it hovered |
|
||
| overhead. The craft darted back and forth over Ontario Airport. When |
|
||
| two commercial jetliners approached it emitted a shower of red sparks |
|
||
| and instantly shot out of sight. (Source: Preston Dennett, UFOs over |
