|  July 3 |
| |
| 1947 - There are 35 unexplained UFO, USO (unidentified submarine |
| object), and humanoid reports for this day in UFOCAT, including the |
| alleged discovery of the famous Roswell debris field by Mac Brazel on |
| a ranch near Corona, New Mexico and the discovery of a crashed disc |
| by Barney Barnett in an arroyo near Magdelena, New Mexico. A cluster |
| of three reports came from around Cincinnati, Ohio between 10:30 a.m. |
| and 5:30 p.m. A cluster of another three reports came from Prince |
| Edward Island, Canada at 5:45 p.m. including the sighting of a black |
| cigar-shaped object in Charlottetown. There was a third cluster of |
| sightings from Sonoma County, California where a forest fire lookout |
| in Fort Ross saw what looked like a burning ship sink slowly into the |
| Pacific Ocean where no ship was reported missing. There was a fourth |
| cluster of three sightings between Baltimore, Maryland and |
| Washington, DC. |

| |
| 1947 - Harborside, Maine - John F. Cole, an astronomer, watched a |
| series of objects that gave off a roaring noise at 2:30 in the |
| afternoon from Harborside, south of Brooksville, Maine. The objects |
| were in the north and were proceeding northwest at a high speed. He |
| estimated their diameter at 100 feet. Calling the report an |
| "unusually well-supported incident," the Air Force had no |
| explanation. However, years later the Air Materiel Command publicly |
| explained the event as "birds or insects". This sighting was also one |
| of the 1947 cases investigated by the FBI. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, |
| Anatomy of a Phenomenon, pg. 51; Donald Keyhoe, Flying Saucers: Top |
| Secret, pg. 89). |
| |
| 1947 - In the village of Mendon, Vermont at 9:00 p.m. Mrs. Spieski |
| sighted a cylindrical UFO, shaped like a flashlight with a white head |
| and green body. It flew at a moderate speed over a meadow at low |
| altitude, heading toward the southwest. (Sources: Ted Bloecher; |
| Rutland (VT) Herald, July 9, 1947). |
| |
| 1949 - A blue-green fireball was sighted at dawn north of Vaughn, |
| Montana. It lit up the sky from horizon to horizon. At 10:40 a.m. 200 |
| spectators watched three identical disc-shaped objects fly over an |
| air show being held in Longview, Washington. Another disc-shaped |
| flying object was sighted in Astoria, Oregon at 1:00 p.m. At 3:00 |
| p.m. in Sterling State Park on the shore of Lake Erie in Michigan, |
| Mr. D. Swarz was watching 2 AT6 airplanes when his attention was |
| drawn to a metallic disc high above moving rapidly in opposite |
| direction. The object went south over the western end of Lake Erie |
| and was gone in 11 seconds. (Sources: Edward Sullivan, CSI-Los |
| Angeles letters from witnesses; Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying Saucers: Top |
| Secret, p. 86; newspaper clipping datelined Astoria, OR July 5, 1949.) |
| |
| 1955 - Mrs. Wesley Symmonds was driving near Stockton, Georgia when |
| she saw four "bug-eyed" creatures near the road. They were small |
| beings with thin arms, wide shoulders, large eyes, and pointed chins. |
| Two were turned away from the witness; one was bending over with |
| something like a stick in its hand; and the fourth one was facing her |
| with its right arm raised. It had bulging eyes, a sort of cap, no |
| visible mouth, a long pointed nose, a chin that came to a sharp |
| point, and long thin arms with claws. (Sources: Leonard Stringfield, |
| Inside Saucer Post...3-0 Blue, Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, p. 249-250). |
| |
| 1960 - An Argentinean Air Force Captain photographed a cone-shaped |
| UFO between Yacanto and Cordoba, Argentina at 4:30 p.m. There was a |
| mystery fall of ice from the sky in Portage, Pennsylvania. (Source: |
| FSR Case Histories, December 1973, p. 17; George Eberhart, A |
| Geo-Bibliography of Anomalies, p. 788). |
| |
| 1961 - An object resembling a hovercraft was seen at fifteen minutes |
| after minute in Ryde, England. It had five windows through which a |
| bright orange light was shining, and it hovered about 20 meters above |
| the trees. It left suddenly at high speed. (Source: Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 520). |
| |
| 1965 - At their base on Deception Island in the South Shetland |
| Islands, Antarctica two Chilean scientists, Barrera and Perisse, |
| witnessed, tracked with a theodolite, and photographed a bluish-green |
| lighted object that zigzagged and caused strong radio frequency |
| interference beginning at 7:14 p.m. Another electromagnetic effect |
| was that the UFO registered on their magnetograph tapes and |
| variometers. Photographs were taken. The blue-green lighted object |
| was seen zig-zagging. There was a government coverup. (Sources: La |
| Razon, July 6, 1965; NICAP UFO Investigator, September 1965, p. 2; |

| |
| 1967 - An 8-mm home movie was made at 1:00 a.m. in Buckhorn, Ontario |
| when a family saw 15 lights darting about in the sky. Mr. Denniss |
| shot a few feet of film in the direction of flight. On the film is a |
| red, round luminous object, flattened slightly on the top. They next |
| saw three lights traveling in a triangle formation. (Source: Skylook, |
| January 1968, p. 7). |
| |
| 1968 - Around midnight a man driving in a car in Colle Orlando, Italy |
| had a tall humanoid jump onto the roadway from an embankment in front |
| of him. The being wore blue overalls, had long hair, and a bright |
| light shone from his chest. The being easily jumped over the car, |
| laughed, then jumped to a hill where a small red disc was hovering. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database, 1968, case 99, |
| citing ITACAT). |
| |
| 1976 - Two 14-year-old girls, Ms. Chapman and Ms. Perry, in Mawman, |
| England heard a hissing sound around 10 o'clock at night. They then |
| saw a flying humanoid as big as a man, with glowing red eyes. It |
| looked like "a big owl with pointed ears." (Source: David F. Webb and |
| Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT, case A1641, citing Fortean Times, August 1976, |
| p. 17). |
| |
| 1999 - A couple driving between Oostende and Bruges, Belgium saw a |
| triangular object hovering seven meters above a field. It was silver |
| and black with lights in each corner, and had a pulsating red light |
| in the center. When one of them tried to photograph it the craft |
| approached them. They panicked and drove off. (Source: UFO Magazine |
| (USA), November 1999, p. 29). |
