|
||
| |
|
||
| 1947 - At eight o'clock in the evening a one-meter diameter disc flew |
|
||
| over Llano, Texas heading toward the southwest. It appeared to be |
|
||
| spinning, and it possibly landed remotely. (Source: Jan Aldrich, |
|
||
| Project 1947: A Preliminary Report on the 1947 UFO Sighting Wave, p. |
|

|
||
| confronted an F-51 over Dearing, Georgia with head-on passes several |
|
||
| times. Pilot Kinmon said he felt the air disturbance as the UFO |
|
||
| barrel-rolled around the airplane for 10 minutes. (Source: Richard |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - A large silver disc hovered over a tire factory in Miami, |
|
||
| Oklahoma at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. It had a halo of smoke around |
|
||
| its rim. It descended to a low, nearby spot, then rose up and shot |
|
||
| away toward the south. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, |
|
||
| case 2300). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - An aluminum colored disc maneuvered with flips and up-and-down |
|
||
| motion over Kutztown, Pennsylvania at 6:30 p.m. Observers took three |
|
||
| poor-quality photographs of the object. (Source: Project Blue Book |
|
||
| files counted in official statistics, case 1409). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1953 - A disc swooped down over the Sheppard AFB hospital building in |
|
||
| Texas. It was glowing and moved very fast. It headed off toward the |
|
||
| south. (Source: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
|
||
| statistics, investigation report dated July 12, 1953). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1955 - A perfectly round, gray-white disc paced a pleasure boat for |
|
||
| six minutes nine miles west of Newport Beach, California at 1:32 p.m. |
|
||
| It was surrounded by a "haze of fumes." It suddenly rose upward in a |
|
||
| zigzag motion and flew into a cloudbank. (Sources: Project Blue Book |
|
||
| files counted in official statistics; Morris Jessup, The UFO Annual, |
|
||
| p. 225). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1959 - An interesting parapsychological experiment closely tied to |
|
||
| the UFO phenomenon was conducted on this day in Washington, DC by the |
|
||
| Central Intelligence Agency and U.S. Naval Intelligence. It was held |
|
||
| at an office in a government building at the corner of 5th and K |
|
||
| Streets (quadrant of the city not given). According to Lt. Colonel |
|
||
| Robert Friend, the officer in charge of Project Blue Book at the time |
|
||
| and who was present at the session, telepathic communication was |
|
||
| attempted through a psychic channeler who was also a military |
|
||
| officer. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| Colonel Friend was invited to attend a meeting with this officer, and |
|
||
| was given the following background information. A Canadian woman, |
|
||
| Mrs. Swan, had come to their attention through the Canadian |
|
||
| government. The Canadians had conducted an extensive investigation |
|
||
| into Mrs. Swan's claims of contact with the aliens. With two Naval |
|
||
| Intelligence officers present, she went into a trance and they asked |
|
||
| her scientific and technical questions to which a woman of her |
|
||
| education could not possibly know the answers. Yet as questions were |
|
||
| put to her, she was able to answer quickly and easily, apparently |
|
||
| with telepathic help from purported extraterrestrials. According to |
|
||
| the report, the aliens represented an organization called the |
|
||
| "Universal Association of Planets," and this group had a project |
|
||
| monitoring Earth. The investigation took an unexpected turn when the |
|
||
| woman informed one of the Naval officers that "they" were willing to |
|
||
| answer questions directly through him, a Navy commander and |
|
||
| intelligence officer--with no prior experience in telepathic |
|
||
| communications. He took over, attempting to write down the answers to |
|
||
| questions put to him by his associate Naval officer. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| The word traveled back quickly to Washington officials and a very |
|
||
| skeptical CIA. Nevertheless, there was no strong reason to totally |
|
||
| disbelieve the report of this respected Navy commander and his |
|
||
| partner. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| A meeting was arranged to be held in the security portion of a |
|
||
| Washington government building. When trance state contact was |
|
||
| achieved, several questions were put to him, and answers came back |
|
||
| quickly. "Do you favor any government group or race?" and "Would |
|
||
| there be a third world war?" Both were answered "No." The officials |
|
||
| present then asked to see a spaceship. The commander, still in a |
|
||
| trance, told the group to look out the window and they would have |
|
||
| proof. They did promptly and a dark saucer-shaped object was seen |
|
||
| hovering in the sky "at approximately 1400 hours." |
|
||
| |
|
||
| They hurriedly made calls to the Washington radar center to confirm |
|
||
| the presence of the object. They were told by the radar operators |
|
||
| that they were experiencing a strange type of technical difficulty |
|
||
| with their equipment, and radar was blocked for that quadrant of the |
|
||
| sky over Washington. During the question and answer exchange the |
|
||
| answer to one question indicated that the UFOs acknowledged |
|
||
| difficulty in slipping through our radar net undetected. A number of |
|
||
| other questions were put to the psychic, including whether Catholics |
|
||
| were the chosen people. They were told that they were not. A |
|
||
| follow-up contact session was attempted that same day with only |
|
||
| limited success. It was indicated by the few answers that the |
|
||
| Commander received that "this was not the right time" [emphasis |
|
||
| added]. (Sources: Don Elkins, Secrets of the UFOs, p. 34; Robert |
|
||
| Emenegger, UFO's, Past, Present and Future, pp. 55-62). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1962 - A clear photograph of a gray cloud with three lights was taken |
|
||
| at 11:10 p.m. by Dr. Taylor, an atmospheric scientist at the Cape |
|
||
| Hallet Station in Antarctica. The cloud and lights moved toward the |
|
||
| northeast at a low altitude. Other sightings of UFOs occurred that |
|
||
| night at both the Chilean and Argentine Bases on the Palmer |
|
||
| Archipelago in Antarctica. (Sources: Coral E. Lorenzen, UFOs: The |
|
||
| Whole Story, p. 234; Brad Steiger, Strangers from the Skies, p. 39). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1965 - Miss Zielonka, age 30, witnessed a three-meter long metallic |
|
||
| object take off from the ground in Moyeuvre, Moselle, France at 12:30 |
|
||
| in the afternoon. The object flew south toward Metz. (Sources: |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1965 - At 3:00 p.m. at Santa Maria Island Airport on the Azores, |
|
||
| airport clocks stopped and compasses spun wildly when a white |
|
||
| cylindrical UFO flew over, flying toward the northeast against the |
|
||
| wind. Later in the evening at 9:10 p.m. EDT, six witnesses saw a |
|
||
| white nocturnal light that maneuvered in the sky over the Beckford |
|
||
| Power Plant north of Cincinnati, Ohio. (Sources: (1) BUFORA Journal, |
|
||
| September-October 1965, p. 18; (2) APRO Bulletin, January-February |
|

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - At 10:25 p.m. two boys shone a spotlight on a red and white |
|
||
| UFO "fluttering across" the Susquehanna River near Harrisburg, |
|
||
| Pennsylvania. It approached them with a sideways motion and beamed a |
|
||
| white light at them. Making a humming sound, it backed up and |
|
||
| disappeared. (Source: NICAP case investigation files, report dated |
|
||
| July 12, 1967). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1968 - At 11:30 p.m. two girls met a "man from another world" who |
|
||
| tried to talk to them in La Plata, Argentina. He was six feet tall, |
|
||
| had red hair and blue eyes, and wore a one-piece coverall uniform and |
|
||
| a green visor that emitted flashes of light. The girls fled inside |
|
||
| their house. Marks of four fingers were found on the door to their |
|
||
| house. (Sources: FSR, January-February 1970, p. 30; David F. Webb & |
|
||
| Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # A0948). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1968 - Three hours after the Argentine humanoid contact, at 9:35 p.m. |
|
||
| PDT in Long Beach, California a diamond-shaped, grayish-white hazy |
|
||
| mass was seen hovering under the full moon in the southeastern sky. |
|
||
| At 10:05 p.m. it moved 55 degrees in a horizontal line due west. Ten |
|
||
| minutes later it moved back to the first spot it had occupied. Five |
|
||
| oval-shaped objects with clear edges maneuvered around it. (Source: |
|
||
| Ann Druffel, Proceedings of the Center for UFO Studies Conference: |
|
||
| 1976, p. 65). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1970 - At 11:10 p.m. in Evillers, France a sphere, the apparent size |
|
||
| of the full Moon, was observed hovering below a black cloud. It had a |
|
||
| crescent-shaped object above it. The presence of the UFOs was |
|
||
| accompanied by a power outage in the area. (Source: Lumieres dans la |
|
||
| Nuit, June 1972). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1971 - At 7:30 p.m. several people on the Williams farm in Marrawah, |
|
||
| Tasmania, Australia viewed a 16-foot wide, white glowing object low |
|
||
| over some pastures for ten minutes. It changed colors. (Source: FSR |
|
||
| Case Histories, October 1971, p. 14). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1973 - Senora Mabel Gorchs de Veron was crossing the central Plaza |
|
||
| Colon at 6:30 p.m. in Mar del Plata, Argentina when she observed a |
|
||
| bright green light that made her look up. One hundred meters above |
|
||
| here was a circular object about 10 meters (33 feet) in diameter, |
|
||
| emitting a blue glow. It had a dome on the upper past and a row of |
|
||
| small windows around it, through which a dim light came from the |
|
||
| inside. There were some "strange figures" looking out from these |
|
||
| windows. The domed craft remained motionless for several seconds |
|
||
| until a commercial aircraft flew by. The UFO followed it for a few |
|
||
| moments before flying out over the sea. A newspaperman and a group of |
|
||
| office employees of the Argentine National Airline also observed the |
|
||
| UFO. Later that evening, at 7:15 p.m. Sr. Nahuel Villegas succeeded |
|
||
| in seeing some shadows moving around inside the same or similar |
|
||
| object while looking through his telescope at 200x magnification. The |
|
||
| object was at a higher altitude, and remained in the sky for four |
|
||
| hours, during which it was seen by hundreds of witnesses. (Sources: |
|
||
| Fenomenologia, no. 21, citing personal communication from Sr. Daniel |
|
||
| Veron; La Nacion, July 11, 1973; David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, |
|
||
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-75 (A1593), citing |
|
||
| Banchs and Veron). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - At one o'clock in the morning an ellipse-shaped UFO with rows |
|
||
| of lights along the side approached a police car on a road near |
|
||
| Kingston, New York. It responded to the police spotlight by beaming a |
|
||
| bright light into the car. It then sped away. (Source: J. Allen Hynek |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - A huge bullet-shaped object hovered over the port of East |
|
||
| London, South Africa at 11:50 p.m. It had portholes along the sides |
|
||
| of the craft. Electrical power fluctuated in the area at the time of |
|
||
| the incident. At about the same time or approximately twenty minutes |
|
||
| earlier, at 10:30 p.m. European Time, a dark disc blocked out the |
|
||
| stars over Le Luc, France. It had very bright beams of light that |
|
||
| were directed onto trees and a hill. It flew silently toward the |
|
||
| south. (Sources: Cynthia Hind, UFO Afri News, January 1990; Lumieres |
|
||
| dans la Nuit, January 1977). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1977 - A dull silver saucer-shaped UFO hovered off to the left side |
|
||
| of a road in Flat Rock, Michigan at 2:30 a.m. It was only about 200 |
|
||
| feet above and the ground and 150 feet from the road. It had many red |
|
||
| and green lights around its rim, and a beam of light illuminated the |
|
||
| ground for two minutes. The object floated away over the treetops |
|
||
| moving toward the southwest. (Source: J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO |
|
||
| Studies case files). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - An object descended from the sky to within a few kilometers of |
|
||
| the witness in General Alvear, Argentina. It moved away at a very low |
|
||
| altitude. (Source: Stendek, December 1978, p. 13). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - Two young men were walking along the railroad tracks on the |
|
||
| outskirts of Butler, Ohio when they heard a noise from the bushes |
|
||
| ahead. The youths saw a huge seven foot tall figure with large red |
|
||
| glowing eyes. One of the witnesses panicked and ran home, the second |
|
||
| remained transfixed by the creature and was unable to move. The being |
|
||
| was apparently beckoning to the young man to approach. The entity was |
|
||
| described as having a huge round head, large red eyes and was making |
|
||
| an unusual growling noise. The witness was finally able to flee the |
|
||
| area. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1993 - A domed disc-shaped object, looking like a Mexican sombrero |
|
||
| with light all the way around its rim, was seen by several witnesses |
|
||
| in Bishopstone, England at 7:00 p.m. (Source: UFO Newsclipping |
|

||
| 1995 - At least a dozen witnesses saw a huge triangle-shaped object |
|
||
| and four discs at low altitude in Gravois Mills, Missouri at 11:45 |
|
||
| p.m. Bizarre looking humanoid figures were also seen on the ground. |
|
||
| (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 17304, citing |
|
||
| Actaeon Advisor). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1996 - A triangular-shaped UFO landed in a field in Chillan, Chile. |
|
||
| It left three circular indentations in the ground 1.7 meters apart |
|
||
| and 10 cm across. That same day, while visiting the "Julia Set" crop |
|
||
| formation opposite the Stonehenge megaliths in England, two friends |
|
||
| of author Lucy Pringle became ill with nausea, fatigue, and memory |
|
||
| problems. The symptoms persisted for three days following the visit. |
|
||
| (Sources: Phenomena, issue no. 33; Lucy Pringle, Crop Circles: The |
