| they encountered a man between 6.5 and 7 feet tall. He was wearing a |
| two-piece garment of dark green denim like material with an "anorak" |
| type hood that almost completely covered his face. He held a silver |
| object resembling a flashlight. The man shouted in a resonant voice; |
| "Move on! Go away!" McClure shouted, "Will you harm us?" There was no |

| silver disc had a black center on the underside and was distinct |
| against the clear blue sky. Its angular size was about half that of |
| the full moon. There was no noise as it moved south to northeast at |
| high altitude. (Source: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, |
| December 1979, p. 8). |

| sweeping turn to the east" and went out of sight in 5 seconds. He |
| estimated in flew at 300 mph, at only 300 feet altitude, and came |
| within 500 feet of him. Later, military jets came over the area. |

| 1994 - At 8:30 p.m. a huge, green and red lit, delta-shaped object |
| with satellite objects was sighted in Racoon Lake, Indiana by five |
| witnesses driving on US Highway 36. It emitted smaller luminous |

| home onto her lattice-enclosed patio in Marshalltown, Iowa to get |
| some fresh air. She sighted an object that was either landed on or |
| hovering above her nextdoor neighbor's mobile home roof. She could |
| see a large curved window with a thin strip down the middle, and |
| there was a bright spotlight shining from the lower front of the |
| object. She heard no sound. She then noticed a "pilot" with something |
| like a form-fitting hood over his head, motionless. She could not |
| distinguish any features. Two doors then swung open in the craft and |
| several small entities exited. She could not see their shapes or how |
| they moved. The bright light was directed at her and she thought she |
| was being watched. Frightened, she went back inside her house and |
| noticed that the beam was now illuminating the interior. She |
| continued to watch the UFO as it moved around the trailer court, |
| occasionally stopping, hovering, and shining its light on various |
| mobile homes. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |

| district's Tambon Janjawa said they saw the humanoid early in the |
| morning in a rice paddy outside the village, and that he levitated or |
