| |
| 1843 - Farmer Cooper saw three men flying through the sky over |
| Warwick, Quebec. They were completely white. (Source: John Colombo, |
| UFOs over Canada: Personal accounts of sightings and close |
| encounters, p. 209). |
| |
| 1951 - At 9:27 p.m. military radar picked up a large sausage-shaped |
| radar blip. It was tracked flying over Kadena AFB, Japan moving at |
| 4,800 mph. Listed as a Project Blue Book "unidentified" case. |
| (Source: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case |
| 984). |
| |
| 1952 - At 1:30 a.m. a UFO zigzagged over Abidjan, Ivory Coast. That |
| evening, at Cocoa Beach, Florida a white ovoid object hovered near |
| Cape Canaveral for two and a half hours. (Source: Loren Gross, UFOs: |
| A History. 1952: September-October, p. 61). |
| |
| 1954 - There are 81 UFO and humanoid reports recorded in UFOCAT for |
| this day. There is one from India, one from Lebanon, one from Quebec, |
| one from Switzerland, two each from England and Italy, and three from |
| Austria. The rest are from France, which appears to be at the center |
| of this massive wave of UFO sightings. |
| |
| 1954 - Angelo Girardo, 55, a stockyard employee, was going to work in |
| Bressuire, France at dawn when he saw a circular craft with a |
| three-meter diameter and a small figure wearing a diving suit, |
| standing close by. The object took off at a fantastic speed. |
| (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| p. 215; Michel Figeut & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier |
| complet des rencontres rapprochees en France, p. 111). |
| |
| 1954 - Between Rue and Quend, France on Route D27, near the village |
| of Vron, Rene Coudette and B. Devoisin were riding bicycles with a |
| third witness when they saw an orange object, shaped like a beehive, |
| on the road ahead of them. A small strange "man" wearing a diving |
| suit, about 0.9 meters (3 foot) tall, was standing close to it. When |
| they got within 70 meters of it, the object took off very fast. Less |
| than three hours later, the same or a similar orange object chased a |
| car down a road in Quend for eight kilometers, then flew away toward |
| the sea. The witness was a butcher named Georges Galant. (Sources: |
| Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, pp. 118, |
| 116; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. |
| 216). |
| |
| 1954 - At 7:20 p.m. the crowd at a fair in Chereng, France saw a |
| luminous object arrive very fast in the sky, stop in flight, emit |
| sparks, and come down to ground level. As witnesses rushed to the |
| spot it took off again. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the |
| Straight Line Mystery, p. 113; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, p. 216). |
| |
| 1954 - At 10:45 p.m. a circular craft was seen by Mr. Jean Allary, |
| age 22, while riding a motorcycle between Montmoreau and Villebois |
| Lavalette, France. It seemed to be gliding over the ground. It showed |
| luminous spots and became completely illuminated when it took off. It |
| was about 1.2 meters high. Grass was found flattened and scorched |
| over an area seven meters across. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying |
| Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 130; Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 216; Michel Figeut & |
| Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des rencontres |
| rapprochees en France, p. 114). |
| |
| 1954 - Near La Rochelle, France at 11:00 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. |
| Guillemoteau saw an object, five meters in diameter and 2.5 meters |
| high, hovering for several minutes one meter above the ground. The |
| UFO then rose vertically. Oily marks were found at the spot. |
| (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, |
| p. 131; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| p. 216). |
| |
| 1958 - At 3:20 a.m. in Owasco, Indiana four big, soft white |
| elliptical lights, about 40 meters in diameter, maneuvered back and |
| forth just above tree top level while changing color. (Source: NICAP |
| UFO Investigator, August 1959, p. 3). |

| 1967 - At 7:45 p.m. Kathy Skolem of Portland, Connecticut, age 13, |
| saw an orange cloud bigger than the moon, which changed colors from |
| pink to blue to green. This turned out to be a barium cloud |
| experiment launched by NASA at 7:18 EDT from Wallops Island, |
| Virginia. However, she then saw a white domed disc surrounded by a |
| haze. It had lights around its rim, and it flew off toward the |
| southeast. At 8:40 p.m. a glowing Saturn-shaped object with a fuzzy |
| amber center flew over Cambridge, Massachusetts. It had white lights |
| sparkling around its circumference. This too was not the barium cloud |
| experiment, which they had seen earlier in the evening. (Sources: |
| Donald A. Johnson, case investigation files; NICAP case investigation |
| files). |

| 1971 - Mr. and Mrs. Cury where driving in Anapolis, Brazil at 1:40 |
| a.m. when their car's engine made an odd sound and suddenly |
| accelerated to 160 kph despite the driver's effort to slow it down. A |
| large glowing sombrero-shaped object appeared in front of the car. It |
| passed back and forth across the road, oscillated up and down, then |
| sped away. On the same day two disc-shaped objects descended low over |
| Rainbow Lake in Derry, New Hampshire. There were independent |
| witnesses to the event, and other UFO sightings in the area. |
| (Sources: APRO Bulletin, September-October 1971, p. 3; Mark |
| Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 52; Hans |
| Holzer, The UFOnauts, p. 168). |
| |
| 1973 - During a flurry of low-level UFO sightings in the area of |
| North Melbourne, Australia, a man woke up in the middle of the night |
| and noticed two figures standing in the shadows in front of his |
| bedroom wall looking at him. They were described as humanoid and |
| tall, and they appeared to be floating just above the floor. Both |
| swayed gently from side to side. Both beings had large baldheads, |
| slanted eyes, lipless mouths, and small flat noses. Their ears were |
| pressed back against the side of their heads. No clothing details |
| could be discerned. Moments later one of the beings opened his mouth |
| and a high-pitched whine filled the room. At the same time both |
| beings began to fade and disappeared. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1973, case # 868, citing George Alahouzos, |
| FSR, Vol. 25 # 1). |
| |
| 1973 - A former aerospace photographer sighted a silver disc-shaped |
| UFO making erratic maneuvers near SR177, northeast of Cape Girardeau, |
| Missouri at 7:30 p.m. At 8:00 p.m. a UFO landed on a lake and lifted |
| off from the water's surface in East Derry, New Hampshire. (Source: |
| Harley Rutledge, Project Identification: The first scientific field |
| study of UFO phenomena, p. 170). |
| |
| 1975 - On this night a large mass of white light, with smaller blue |
| lights inside, hung stationary over Quincy, Massachusetts. (Source: |
| CUFOS News Bulletin, February 1976, p. 7). |
| |
| 1976 - On this night a luminous object rose up from the road only |
| twenty meters in front of an approaching car in Tonsberg, Norway. |
| (Source: U computer database, case 11905). |
| |
| 1978 - Thousands of witnesses in Bogota, Colombia saw two UFOs in an |
| unusually clear sky. One was shaped like a "croissant" and the other |
| was cylinder-shaped. Both gave off an intense luminosity. Traffic |
| halted throughout the city during the sighting. (Source: UFO |
| Newsclipping Service, December 1978, p. 15). |
| |
| 1978 - At 9:37 p.m. a car driving over a mountain pass near Sayama |
| City, Japan was suddenly illuminated. An orange beam of light came |
| down from the sky and struck the Mr. Amano's two-year-old daughter's |
| stomach. Then a short humanoid being with no obvious nose appeared |
| and pressed a metallic object against his forehead. He began |
| receiving telepathic communication from the being accompanied by a |
| high-pitched noise. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A1977). |
| |
| 1983 - At two o'clock in the morning Debbie Tomey heard a voice call |
| her in her bedroom at her home in suburban Indianapolis, Indiana. She |
| saw a small ball of light fly through her hallway. Under hypnosis she |
| recalled being drowsy, then being touched by a device clamped to her |
| neck. She saw a short humanoid being, and then experienced an episode |
| of missing time. When she regained consciousness she found herself |
| outside her house. (Source: Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions: The |
| Measure of a Mystery. Volume 1: Comparative Study of Abductions, case |
| 195 (episode K). |
| |
| 1983 - At 8:00 p.m. nine amateur astronomers sighted at blue ovoid |
| object orbited by smaller objects over Split, Croatia. (Source: MUFON |
| UFO Journal, December 1983). |
| |
| 1989 - At 3:00 a.m. in Ochlocknee, Georgia two men observed a round |
| object at tree top level, emitting small balls of light. (Source: |
| Paul Ferrughelli, Computer Catalogue of UFO Reports, 1988-1994, case |
| 992). |
| |
| 1996 - At approximately 8:00 p.m. local time a number of vehicles |
| traveling on I-25 south of Springer, New Mexico were witness to a |
| cigar-shaped object, estimated to be at least "two stories" tall and |
| covered with very bizarre lights. The object was seen to descend out |
| of the night sky and hover over an area near the highway. At least |
| 4-5 automobiles, and two tractor-trailers had stopped along the |
| highway and their passengers had gotten out of their vehicles to look |
| at the object. At some point during the sighting the object |
| extinguished its lights and apparently settled to the ground. One |
| young person was emotionally upset by the event, and was still in a |
| state of shock several hours later. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
| National UFO Reporting Center website). |
| |
| 1996 - On this Thursday night numerous sightings of one or more |
| blue-green "fireballs" streaking overhead were reported to various |
| law-enforcement agencies in California. Some reports hinted at the |
| possibility that the sightings were associated with several fires of |
| unknown origin that had allegedly broken out as the object or objects |
| passed overhead. Witnesses in at least four counties made reports to |
| the California Emergency Management Office in Sacramento. One |
| observer reported that he had seen a bluish or blue-green fireball |
| descend almost vertically to the east of his location in Bakersfield. |
| The object was observed for approximately 20-30 seconds, during which |
| time it traversed an arc or approximately 30 degrees of angle. The |
| object went below the horizon to the east. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
| National UFO Reporting Center website). |
| |
| 1997 - At four in the afternoon Osmo Kurkela was walking home from |
| school in Raahe, Finland when he saw a red light in the sky that was |
| coming straight down towards him. It stopped ten meters from the |
| witness then landed. The UFO was five meters long and ten meters |
| wide. Three human-looking beings emerged and one of them appeared to |
| be a woman. Osmo ran home and attempted to hide, but his next |
| recollection was being taken from his home and into the object. A |
| sperm sample was allegedly taken from the young man. (Source: Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1997, case # 2840, citing UFO |
| Sightings in New Mexico and the World). |
| |
| 1998 - A five-meter diameter disc flew low over the valley of the |
| Tevere River in Rieti, Italy and skimmed the surface of the water. It |
| flew off toward the southwest and was sighted again in Rome. (Source: |
| Joseph Trainor, UFO Roundup website, volume 3, no. 41). |
| |
| 2000 - A witness saw three lights chasing one another over Montreal, |
| Quebec at 9:33 p.m. They zigzagged around the sky making no noise. |
