| September-October, p. 33). |
| |
| 1954 - At 5:00 p.m. over 200 witnesses in St.-Prouant, Vendee |
| department, France watched a cigar or carrot-shaped UFO as it emerged |
| from a cloud, tilted toward the ground, hovered, and then elevated |
| its front end quickly into a vertical position. It emitted vapor from |
| its lower end. Next, a metallic disc-shaped object flew out, spun |
| around the cigar, and then re-entered the mothership. (Sources: Aime |

| family's fields in Coldwater, Kansas when he saw a little man no |
| bigger than a 5-year-old child a few meters away from him. He had a |
| long nose and long ears and seemed to fly or glide as he moved toward |
| a saucer-shaped craft hovering just two meters above ground. It |
| "opened up" and the creature "popped inside." The craft became |
| luminous and shot out of sight. Unusual traces were found by police. |
| The being was dressed in shiny clothes, and his shoes seemed to have |
| "fins" attached. He carried two cylinders on his back and had long, |
| pointed ears. (Sources: Harold Wilkins, Flying Saucers Uncensored, p. |
| 239; Charles Bowen, The Humanoids, p. 53; Lincoln Nebraska Star, late |

| |
| 1965 - At 1:00 a.m. an engineer on a motorbikein Langenhoe, Essex, |
| England heard a high-pitched hum, which changed to a buzz when a |
| domed disc-shaped object approached to a close range, and then his |
| engine coughed, sputtered, and finally died. There was a blue light |
| coming from the translucent dome on the object. The witness also |
| received an electric shock, and suffered temporary paralysis. He |
| could not move or speak, and his body tingled like he had received an |
| electric shock. The buzzing diminished as the object descended and |
| landed in a swampy area near some houses. The witness also experience |
| strong static electricity throughout the next day. (Sources: Mark |
| Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 25; Richard |

| 1967 - At eleven o'clock in the morning Fabio J. Diniz, age 16, was |
| walking near a hospital in La Baleia, Minas Gerais State, Brazil when |
| he saw a mushroom-shaped craft on a playing field. It had a cupola on |
| top, and a guillotine-like door that slid up. The boy started to |
| flee, but a voice in Portuguese told him, "Don't run away." He next |
| saw two tall men, two meters in height, dressed in green |
| tight-fitting uniforms. They told him not to be afraid and to return |
| the next day, or "otherwise we will take your family." They had a |
| greenish skin tone, and round eyes that were set wide apart. |

| case # 881, citing FSR, November-December 1968, p. 8; David F. Webb & |
| Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # A0872). |
| |
| 1968 - Eight young people in Drummondville, Quebec saw a "man" who |
| walked like a robot. The next day they saw a little man, 4 feet tall, |
| who was surrounded by a luminous glow. He disappeared, and in his |
| place was the robot. The ground traces showed tracks of a creature |
| with six toes. (Sources: Sherbrooke Tribune, October 9, 1968; David |
| F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # |
| A0979). |
| |
| 1969 At 5:00 p.m. a young boy saw a small silver object land close |
| to him outside the town of Beauharnois, Quebec. Through a small hatch |
| two small, green colored humanoids emerged, these moved like robots |
| and appeared to gather rocks and plants before returning to the |
| object. The object then took off. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, |

| the West Palm Beach International Airport by FAA air traffic |
| controller C. J. Fox and tracked for about an hour. NORAD was alerted |
| and at approximately 6:00 a.m. two F-106 jet interceptors were |
| scrambled from West Palm Beach Airport, Florida to intercept the |
| glowing UFO, but the object disappeared from the radar scopes shortly |
| before the jets arrived. FAA watch supervisor George Morales viewed |
| the object through binoculars and described the object as silver |
| white in color and cigar shaped. Officials at Miami International |
| Airport also tracked the strange object. (Sources: NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, October 1972, pp. 1 & 4; Sandra Thomas, APRO Bulletin, |

| saw a UFO moving toward their car, about 45 feet up in the air. It |
| had green and blue hazy lights and a huge red flickering light |
| on top. It passed directly overhead, then came back and circled the |
| car. Next it hovered nearby for 20 minutes, and finally flew off |
| slowly to the south. (Source: John F. Schuessler case files, report |
| dated July 22, 1973). |
| |
| 1973 - A yellow ovoid-shaped object paced cars near Gravatai, Rio |
| Grande do Sul, Brazil for 20 minutes beginning at around 1:30 a.m. |
| There were several other reports of UFOs in the vicinity on the same |
| night. (Source: Inforespace, August 1975). |
| |
| 1973 - At 7:45 p.m. a 20-year-old woman with the last name of Plume |
| and her father were driving through a mostly swampy area between |
| Cuesnes and Mons, Belgium, when upon rounding a bend in the road they |
| saw a bright orange luminous object shaped like a truncated cone |
| hovering at low altitude about 200 meters off the road, almost |
| directly over an electric power station. The upper edge seemed jagged |
| and had sparkling antenna-like protrusions at either end. The object |
| was dazzling to look at and seemed to be vibrating slightly. As they |
| pulled abreast of the power station the object's luminosity |
| diminished and it flew away, rising gradually in a slight curve and |
| disappeared. (Sources: Dennis William Hauck, MUFON UFO Journal, |
| October 1976, p. 8; Jacques Bonabot, Catalog of Belgian Cases, case |
| 354). |

| |
| 1978 - At 6:00 a.m. in Torre del Lago, near Firenze, Italy a |
| cigar-shaped object with a blue trail of light behind it gave off |
| intense light beams. The craft's lights went off-and-on two or three |
| times during the sighting, which lasted five minutes. (Sources:Jane |
| Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, November 1978, p. 15, citing La |
| Cronica, September 15, 1978; Allan Hendry, International UFO |
| Reporter,  October 1979, p. 15). |
| |
| 1978 - At 10:00 p.m. in San Basilio, Sardegna, Italy a big brilliant |
| light in the night sky resolved to a huge metallic gray ovoid. It |

| |
| 1978 - The owner of a large firm and prominent business executive was |
| driving on I-80 to Randolph, Nebraska and had reached a point two |
| miles west of Belden at around 10:00 p.m. when an object descended on |
| the highway ahead of him, directing a light beam on the road surface. |
| It looked like a tank with treads but without guns. As the witness |
| stepped out of the car, a door opened on the object and a man stepped |
| out. He seemed normal, was dark haired, of normal height and wore |
| white pants and a white shirt. He spoke to the witness by name, in |
| perfect English, then re-entered the object, which rose up in a |
| brilliant column of light emitting a high pitched whine as it left. |
| (Sources: APRO Bulletin, December 1978, p. 1; David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case #  A1964; |

| Italy watched a sphere with luminous rays as it hovered for ten |
| minutes over the ocean, then shot away fast. (Source: Lumieres dans |
| la Nuit, issue # 200, December 1980). |
| |
| 1979 - On this night a beam of light shone through the witness's |
| bedroom window in Oakenholt, Wales and she suddenly felt dizzy. She |
| then felt herself being levitated through some form of a tunnel and |
| encountered two aliens in a field. A huge craft hovered nearby and a |
| beam of light lifted her inside. The interior of the craft consisted |
| of one large room with three other alien beings and an almost human |
| appearing girl of about 19 years of age. The room contained a |
| portrait of an older being, apparently a leader. After a 30 minute |
| otherworldly trip the beings showed her an alien zoo with many |
| bizarre animals. The beings communicated with the witness and then |
| said goodbye, whereupon she then found herself back in her bed again. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1979, case # |
| 2234, citing Jenny Randles & Paul Whetnall). |
| |
| 1979 - Two women in Canoga Park, California witnessed a disc-shaped |
| object with flamelike jets around the perimeter hovering ahead of |
| their car at 7:55 p.m. It tilted, darted from point to point, and |
| then took off at very high speed. (Sources: Ann Drufel, MUFON UFO |
| Journal, December 1981, p. 13; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, |
| Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, p. 24). |
| |
| 1987 - A 23-year-old man in Hebron, Indiana witnessed a very large, |
| black, boomerang-shaped object, the size of a railroad car, only |
| 75-100 feet away and at 75-100 feet altitude. It had two rows of |
| steady blue lights on the underside, with 11 lights in each row. The |
| object was described as blacker than black. Its speed was very slow, |
| moving at about 15 mph. (Source: Michael Rigg, MUFON field |
| investigator, MUFON case files CD-ROM, report # 880808). |
| |
| 1989 - A woman's dogs hid while a diamond-shaped object passed over |
| her home in Cantonment, Florida at 8:00 p.m. It looked “like two |
| Hersheys Kisses attached together at the bases” with more than 40 |
| colored lights, rotating clockwise. It was also seen by her |
| 12-year-old son. (Sources: Carol & Rex Salisberry,MUFON field |
| investigators, MUFON case files CD-ROM, 891006b; MUFON UFO Journal, |

| 1998 - At a little before sunset two women were sitting on the |
| balcony of a house belonging to one of them, at Markou Mousourou |
| Street in the Metz neighborhood of Athens, Greece opposite Ardittos |
| hill. They saw a small black object in the sky about one kilometer |
| away. They first thought it might be a helicopter but it made no |
| sound. When the object approached, they saw it was a humanoid figure |
| in a standing position. It flew closer and the flying humanoid turned |
| its body once in the direction of nearby Zappeio park and then once |
| in the opposite direction, without changing speed or posture. It |
| started coming down and seemed to land somewhere inside the forest on |
| Ardittos hill. They thought that the flying creature was wearing |
| something like an "astronaut suit" because from time to time the |
| sunset light gleamed on it. After landing the figure went up the hill |
| by making some small mechanical "hops," until it reached a point just |
| below the crest. It did not bend its knees when it hopped nor did it |
| move its arms. After ten minutes the creature transformed itself into |
| a "bright spot" and then vanished. During the incident, there was a |
| strong wind blowing but the movement of the creature's flight was |
| steady. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1998, |
| citing Thanassis Vembos). |
| |
| 2003 - At ten o'clock in the morning a dark grey disc-shaped object |
| hung 100 feet over the water at the Wivenhoe Dam in Brisbane Valley, |
| Queensland, Australia on a clear day. The water below the disc was |
| being agitated by the UFO's presence. The craft took off at an angle |
| at an incredible speed. The sighting lasted ten minutes and was |
| witnessed by a Mr. & Mrs. Thompson. (Source: Australasian Ufologist, |
| October 2004, p. 5, citing an email from the witnesses). |
| |
| 2004 - In Humboldt, Saskatchewan, Canada three or more orange-red |
| tinged, chevron-shaped objects at a very high altitude, flew from |
| west to east at a very high speed in single file. (Source: Geoff |
| Dittman, 2004 Canadian UFO Survey, case # 678, citing NUFORC). |
| |
| 2005 - A cigar-shaped UFO flew to the south over Guaynabo, Bayamon |
| province, Puerto Rico at 7:06 a.m. It was the size of a commercial |
| jet, but had no wings. Its polished silver surface reflected the |
| sunlight. It was lost from sight when the craft passed into |
| some cumulus clouds.Duration of the sighting was 15 to 20 seconds. |
| (Source: Mike Vike, www.ufoinfo.com). |
| |
| 2007 - At 10:30 p.m. a round orange light descended from the sky over |
| Saint-Anaclet, Quebec, Canada, then stopped. It flew off after 90 |
| seconds leaving a trail of smoke. (Source: Chris Rutkowski, 2007 |
| Canadian UFO Survey, case 602, citing RCMP). |
| |
| 2009 - At 10:15 p.m. a man who wishes to remain anonymous was driving |
| north on Hudson Drive, Stow, Ohio on his way to work when he spotted |
| a 9 to 10 foot tall solid black entity standing on the southbound |
| side of the road, near the Rte 8 overpass and just north of the local |
| Applebee's restaurant. It was only about fifteen to twenty feet from |
| his vehicle as he drove by. The creature had no discernable head or |
| facial figures. Looking back in his rearview mirrow the entity was no |
| longer visible, and the entire sighting lasted only about five |
| seconds. The witness became extremely upset, and he had uncontrolled |
| watering of his eyes; he tried to call his wife on his cell phone, |
| but it would not work, either from the programmed address book or |
| with manual input calling. He kept getting "call failed", which had |
| never happened before. The cell phone failed to connect all the way |
| to the I-271 entrance ramp, a distance of 8-10 miles. The following |
| day, on his way home from work, as he neared the Rte 8 overpass, this |
| time driving over the bridge, his eyes began to tear up |
| uncontrollably again until he got beyone the bridge, when his eyes |
| began to clear up.  (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 2009 Humanoid |
