|

| December 7 |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1872 - At King's Sutton in Banbury, England an object resembling a |
|
||
| haystack flew on an irregular course at one o'clock in the morning. |
|
||
| Sometimes flying very high, sometimes very low, it was accompanied by |
|
||
| fire and dense smoke. It produced much the same effect as a tornado, |
|
||
| felling trees and walls. It vanished suddenly. (Source: Jacques |
|
||
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 2). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1896 - A large airship flew over the small town of Camptonville, Yuba |
|
||
| County,California and landed nearby at 9:00 p.m. Five men went out to |
|
||
| investigate, and found the ship with its sole occupant, a bearded man |
|
||
| who appeared to be deaf and mute. Some written communication was |
|
||
| attempted, in response the man produced an "alphabet" and spelled out |
|
||
| a message saying he lived in the Montezuma Mountains with his wife |
|
||
| and two children. He declined to answer any further questions, so the |
|
||
| five men left. The craft was seen flying off the next day. (Sources: |

|
||

|
||
| at the Oak Ridge Nuclear Research Facility in Tennessee sighted a |
|
||

|
||
| moved up and down twice. The case remained unexplained by the Air |
|
||
| Force. (Source: Project Blue Book files counted in official |

|
||
| airplane over Torrance, California sighted a shiny metallic |
|
||
| football-shaped object in the sky at 10:21 a.m. The object seemed to |
|
||
| be stationary at first, then it moved away. (Source: Dominique |
|
||
| Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 15). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - A 26-year-old man riding a bicycle near a farm in |
|
||
| Gainchurizqueta, Irun, Spain saw an object land nearby. It came from |
|
||
| the sea on a north to south flight path, and passed within six |
|
||
| meters. It was round, three meters in diameter, with a headlight and |
|
||
| four fins. Traces: ground marks and metallic samples. (Source: |
|
||
| Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in |

| |
|
||

|
||
| seven minutes. A Project Blue Book "unidentified" case. (Sources: |
|
||
| Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case # 3356). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1957 - Two disc-shaped objects maneuvered and circled in the sky over |
|
||
| Brisbane, California at 7:10 p.m. One flew off to the west, one flew |
|
||
| south toward Moffett Field. (Source: Loren E. Gross, The Fifth |

||
| 1966 - On this night four women driving on Route 33 near Gallipolis, |
|
||
| Ohio--the town just across the Ohio River from Point Pleasant, West |
|
||
| Virginia--saw a brownish silver humanoid flying creature with glowing |
|
||
| red eyes. (Sources: John A. Keel, FSR, July-August 1968, p. 13; David |
|
||
| F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - On this evening near El Paso, Texas William C. Collins |
|
||
| observed an unidentified object hovering about 200 feet in the air. |
|
||
| There appeared to be a humanoid figure onboard the object. (Sources: |
|
||
| NICAP UFO Investigator, March 1968, p. 3; David F. Webb & Ted |
|
||
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-121, |
|
||
| citing a newspaper source). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1970 - After finding huge mysterious footprints on their property in |
|
||
| Vader, Washington three days before, a family watched a very bright |
|
||
| object approach their house at 7:15 a.m. It seemed to have a central |
|
||
| dome with a revolving ring around it and was deep orange in the |
|
||
| center. The craft tilted slightly to one side, hovered briefly over |
|
||
| some nearby power lines, then brightened while making a low sweep |
|
||
| over the area. Two of the witnesses saw what appeared to be a gray |
|
||
| colored "shape" drop from the object and scurry away into the woods |
|
||
| before the UFO departed. Later that week a mysterious dark "prowler" |
|
||
| was seen peering through windows. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
|
||
| Humanoid Contact Database 1970, case #1480, citing Loren Coleman, |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1972 - A married couple named Willis saw a cylindrical light hovering |
|
||
| while driving in Port Elizabeth, New Jersey at 8:50 p.m. It moved |
|
||
| into some nearby woods as their car approached. Ground traces and a |
|
||
| missing plug of earth were found in the woods, at the suspected |
|
||
| landing site. (Sources: Atlantic City Press, December 13, 1972; |
|
||
| Data-Net Report, March 1973, p. 13). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1977 - In Tatapouri, New Zealand a red, disc-shaped object came over |
|
||
| land from the direction of the sea at 7:30 p.m. It followed a car |
|
||
| with three people inside. The headlights on the car dimmed but did |
|
||
| not go out during the sighting, which ended when the UFO veered off |
|
||
| into the sky. When the witnesses arrived home, they found the car's |
|
||
| battery had no water in it, even though it had been serviced only two |
|
||
| days prior to the sighting. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports |
