|
||
| |
|
||
| 1897 - A lawyer was surprise to see a lighted object fly over as he |
|
||
| was driving his carriage three miles north of Aquila, Texas. His |
|
||
| horse shied and nearly toppled the carriage. When the main light was |
|
||
| turned off, a number of smaller lights became visible ont he |
|
||
| underside of the dark object, which supported an elongated carriage. |
|
||
| The airship went down toward a hill to the south, five kilometers |
|
||
| from Aquila, Texas. When the witness was on his way back, one hour |
|
||
| later, he saw the object ascending. It reached the altitude of the |
|
||
| cloud ceiling and flew to the northeast at a fantastic speed with |
|
||
| periodic flashes of light. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
|
||
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 30; Dallas Morning News, April |
|
||

||
| 1897 - At 5:15 a.m. in Barring Cross, Arkansas a photograph of a |
|
||
| structured flying object was taken. (Source: Jerome Clark, Flying |

||
| |
|
||
| 1897 - At 11:00 p.m. in Sidnaw, Michigan several people saw a green |
|
||
| ball of light fly overhead. (Source: Marquette (MI) Mining Journal, |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1948 - A flying humanoid was spotted on this morning in St. Louis, |
|
||
| Missouri and reported to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper by a |
|
||
| Mrs. Dolezal. (Sources: St. Louis Post Dispatch, April 26, 1948; |
|
||
| Kansas City Star, April 29, 1948). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - What first appeared to be a flaming ring made sharp turns in |
|
||
| the sky over a school in Newburyport, Massachusetts at around 3:30 |
|
||
| p.m. It resolved into a solid silver, disc-shaped object with a dark |
|
||
| center and protruding top. It made an intense roaring sound that |
|
||
| lasted five seconds. It left a bright white tail in descent, and flew |
|
||
| off rapidly to the southeast. At 8:35 p.m. 15 balls of light in a |
|
||
| V-formation buzzed a University of Georgia professor of aeronautics |
|
||
| and four other witnesses in Athens, Georgia. (Sources: (1) Richard |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1958 - At 9:05 p.m. a red hot coal-like object streaked across the |
|
||
| sky over Adelaide, South Australia. It made a hissing noise. (Source: |
|
||
| Michael Hervey, UFOs over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 164). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1959 - Luis Da Silva had seen a red colored disc in the sky before he |
|
||
| went to bed in Sao Paulo, Brazil and when he awoke at midnight he |
|
||
| felt a compulsion to go out into his garden, where he found a note |
|
||
| telling him to return the next night at 1:30 a.m. He did so, and a |
|
||
| circular UFO appeared at a low altitude, perhaps 100 meters. He felt |
|
||
| paralyzed and unable to move. In a spiral a man descended from the |
|
||
| UFO but did not quite touch the ground. He wore a helmet and was clad |
|
||
| in plastic looking clothing, with gloves that looked transparent like |
|
||
| glass. He told Da Silva to return again on Thursday at 2:05 a.m. and |
|
||
| then re-ascended in a spiral to his craft. On Thursday the same |
|
||
| sequence of events occurred, but this time three entities descended, |
|
||
| one at a time. The last of these beings asked Da Silva for a sheet of |
|
||
| paper, and he inscribed upon it a message consisting of |
|
||
| undecipherable markings. (Sources: Flying Saucer Review, May-June |

| 1967, p. 7; David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
|
||
| Humanoid Reports, case 1959-07, citing Dr. Walter Buhler, SBEDV). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1964 - An interesting photograph was taken this day in Burgh le |
|
||
| Marsh, Cumbria, England. A Mr. Templeton took a photograph of a |
|
||
| little girl holding a nosegay of flowers in the early afternoon. Not |
|
||
| seen at the time was what appears to be the image of a man standing |
|
||
| behind her, dressed in a white spacesuit. (Sources: Flying Saucer |

||
| Review, November-December 1964, p. 11; Gordon Creighton, FSR, |
|

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1964 - At 12:30 p.m. Orlando Gallegos observed a bright, metallic, |
|
||
| egg-shaped object about 70 meters away, on the ground, north of La |
|
||
| Madera, New Mexico. Blue flames appeared to circle the base of the |
|
||
| machine, which was silent and about the length of a telephone pole. |
|
||
| Scorch marks and four imprints were found, according to Police Capt. |
|
||
| Martin Vigil. Also on the same day, a thirty-foot wide silver, |
|
||
| inverted bathtup-shaped UFO was sighted near Truth of Consequences, |
|
||
| New Mexico by a Mr. Mitropolis. It was seen a quarter of a mile to |
|
||
| the east, flew up over a mountain, then down out of sight near the |
|
||
| Caballo Reservoir. (Sources: (1) Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1965 - At 5:00 p.m. Gary W., age 9, in New London, Minnesota saw an |
|
||
| object which came down silently and hovered at ground level, 60 |
|
||
| meters away. A sort of periscope emerged from the craft, and a |
|
||
| strange noise, which was also heard by the boy's father, was noted. |
|
||
| After a couple of minutes the "periscope" disappeared, the object |
|
||
| rose, and then dashed up into the sky at unbelievable speed. |

||
| |
|
||
| 1966 - A young man was driving his car in Follansbee, West Virginia |
|
||
| at 11:30 p.m. when he saw a silent UFO shaped like two bowls glued |
|
||
| together. It flew at 30 meters altitude, ahead of his car. He |
|
||
| estimated the diameter of the object at 10 meters. He drove away as |
|
||
| quickly as he could without looking back. (Sources: Jacques Vallee: |
|
||
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 766, citing US Air |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - At 8:30 p.m. a Miss Roberts of St. Catherines, Ontario saw a |
|
||
| blindingly red object ascend into the sky, then turn a green color. |
|
||
| It next shot beams of light at a dog on the ground, and made an exit |
|
||
| with erratic maneuvers. In nearby Waterloo, Ontario at 9:00 p.m. a |
|
||
| Mr. Dorscht saw an oil-drum shaped cylinder descend from the sky, |
|
||
| extend six legs, and then land on his farm. The 1.5 meter tall object |
|
||
| left behind six landing imprints in the ground after it departed. At |
|
||
| 9:30 p.m. EDT a witness in Kitchener, Ontario saw a small cylinder, |
|
||
| estimated to be 3 feet in diameter and 5 feet tall, with flashing |
|
||
| lights. The object landed, deploying six legs when it was about four |
|
||
| feet from the ground. A whirring sound during landing stopped once |
|
||
| the object was at rest. Ground impressions (physical traces) were |
|
||
| found at the landing site. (Sources: (1) NICAP UFO Investigator, June |

||
| 1967 - On this night in Mount St. Helens, Washington two teenagers |
|
||
| saw a saucer-shaped object with a dome. It had a swept back wing, and |
|
||
| red body lights. As it pursued the witnesses' car and illuminated it |
|
||
| with a light beam, a whistling sound could be heard. The object then |
|
||
| turned away and started to follow a truck that passed. (Sources: |
|
||
| Unidentified newspaper clipping, NICAP files; |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1969 - On this evening David Arychuk was out walking his dog in |
|
||
| Calgary, Alberta when he saw a circular object with three pulsating |
|
||
| red lights around the top, 200 yards away from him. The UFO was about |
|
||
| 30 feet in diameter and 20 feet high, and cream-colored with a pitted |
|
||
| surface. He smelled a rather nauseating odor of "sweet bitterness" |
|
||
| that was in the air. One hundred yards away stood two humanoid |
|
||
| beings, "taller than normal," wearing dark clothing. David yelled out |
|
||
| "Hey you!" and they walked around behind the UFO. His dog refused to |
|
||
| go on and was shivering from fright. By the time David came back to |
|
||
| the site with his stepfather the UFO was gone, but the odor was still |
|
||
| present the next day. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, |
|

||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - Forty-one year old Oscar Patero failed to return from a short |
|
||
| business trip that he embarked upon on this day. Five or six days |
|
||
| later he was found rain soaked and covered with ticks on a thousand |
|
||
| foot mountain near Colatina in the state of Espiritu Santo, Brazil, |
|
||
| which was over 900 kilometers from his home. He said that a light |
|
||
| appeared at around 11:30 p.m. just before he crossed a bridge while |
|
||
| driving between Catanduva and Julio de Mesquita, Sao Paulo, Brazil. |
|
||
| In fact, his car was found there. Under hypnosis he revealed that he |
|
||
| had been taken aboard a UFO and been given a physical exam, but he |
|
||
| resisted giving any further details except to say that a tall, |
|
||
| fair-haired and blue-eyed young man was one of the aliens. The man |
|
||
| was described as about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a small nose and |
|
||
| small ears. He revealed that this was actually his second UFO |
|
||
| encounter, because he had given a ride to this same individual |
|
||
| previously on the night of his first encounter. (Sources: Gordon |

|
||
| 1975 - A UFO dove at spectators who had stopped to watch it along the |
|
||
| side of a highway in Gerena, Sevilla, Spain, causing the witnesses to |
|
||
| panic. The six witnesses got back into their cars and drove away, but |
|
||
| were chased for two miles. The red, elongated or ovoid object came so |
|
||
| close that the drivers were dazzled by the light. When they pulled |
|
||
| into a filling station for santuary the light finally shot off |
|
||
| rapidly to the east. The incident lasted approximately eight minutes. |

|
||
| then flew off to the east-northeast. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer |

|
||
| looking entity climb rapidly up the side of a steep hill. It moved up |
|
||
| a practically vertical cliff using reptilian like movements, and |
|
||
| seemed to expand as if it possessed dark wing-like membranes on its |
|
||
| back, which may have helped propell it up the cliff. Once it reached |
|
||
| the summit witnesses began hearing strange growling and screeching |
|
||

|
||
| passed before the third object, and then five minutes again until the |
|
||
| fourth one passed. They all travelled beneath the cloud line. One |
|
||

|
||
| went on a straight line toward the northwest. Later a helicopter was |
|
||
| seen flying at a low level. (Sources: Geoff Dittman, 2004 Canadian |
