| 1952 - San Antonio, Texas. At 1:30 p.m. ex-USAF aircrewman Woolsey |
| saw three circular aluminum objects, one of which was olive drab |
| colored on the side. They flew in a rough V-formation. One object |
| flipped slowly and another object stopped during the 3-4 minute |
| sighting. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case # 2177; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1952: |

| 1952 - The crew of an USAF C-50 transport plane, flying 500 miles to |
| the south of Hawaii at 6:58 p.m., sighted a round yellow light with a |
| red glowing edge. The object was estimated to be 100 feet in diameter |
| and it flew at 300-400 knots (350-450 mph). They watched it for 20 |

| Passengers were injured in the avoidance maneuver. (Source: Frank |
| Edwards, Flying Saucers--Serious Business, p. 67). |
| |
| 1954 - At 9:10 a.m. a silent aluminum colored cigar-shaped object |
| flew to the southeast over Taza, Tetouan, Morocco, then curved its |
| trajectory to the east, becoming spherical. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case 4005, citing Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue |
| #228). |

| 1954 - On this day two French Air Force jets chased a white |
| disc-shaped object with colored lights over Avignon, Vaucluse, |
| France.The flying disc easily outpaced them. (Sources: Leonard H. |

| 1954 - At noon 70 people in the city of Amiens, Somme, France saw a |
| fiery object spinning high in sky, shooting out green beams of light. |
| Also, at the same time in Montandon, Haute-Marne, France a teenager |

| wearing a white spacesuit exited the craft. His report was |
| investigated by the police. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issues # |
| 321 & 260). |
| |
| 1954 - Bruno Senesi saw two shining objects emitting smoke land in a |
| field in Livorno, Tuscany, Italy. Out of the craft came several |
| small, monstrous red beings that chased after him. Mr. Senesi was |
| brought to a hospital in a state of great distress , where he tried |
| to hide under a bed while screaming and trembling in terror. (Source: |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 234, |
| case 287, citing Il Messagero, October 20, 1954). |
| |
| 1954 - A 14-year-old girl in Montlandon, France reported seeing a |
| strange disc-shaped object descend and land in a field next to some |
| woods. A man dressed in a sort of white cassock or smock was seen |
| briefly onboard the object. The craft immediately took off again and |
| disappeared from sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1954, citing Raoul Robe, Regional Catalogue). |
| |
| 1954 - At 7:00 p.m. a disc-shaped object landed in a field in St. |
| Avold, Meurthe-et-Moselle, France. Trees were scorched and the ground |
| was plowed up at the landing site. Figures may have been seen. |
| (Source: Jean Sider, Dossier 1954 et l'Imposture Rationaliste, p. |
| 116). |
| |
| 1954 - At 7:20 p.m. Filippo Corridoni saw what he thought was a half |
| empty balloon at ground level near the Isonzo River in Gorizia, |
| Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. Near it, a ten-meter wide disc-shaped |
| object was resting on a strange frame. The upper part of the disc was |
| white with a black dome, around which was a series of portholes. Some |
| of the portholes gave off a very bright, bluish-white light that |
| suddenly went out as the object took off. The disc rose vertically |
| while spinning and pulling the balloon with it. (Source: Jacques |
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 234, case |
| 288, citing Il Messagero, October 21, 1954). |
| |
| 1954 - At 8:45 p.m a flaming object buzzed a truck driving in St. |
| Didier-en-Velay, Haute-Loire, France causing the engine and |
| headlights to die. They functioned again after the object departed. |
| (Source: Jean Sider, Dossier 1954 et l'Imposture Rationaliste, p. |
| 115). |
| |
| 1954 - Also at 8:45 p.m. near St. Samson-La-Poterie, |
| France 25-year-old Andre Vasseur and his wife were returning home on |
| their tandem bicycle and were approaching the descent that precedes |
| Hericourt-St. Samson when their attention was drawn to a hovering red |
| cigar shape gleaming in the sky. The shiny cigar-shaped object |
| plunged abruptly towards the ground at a terrific clip, leaving |
| behind a red trail and disappearing behind a hedge a few hundred |
| meters from the road. When the young couple arrived at the top of the |
| hill, Mrs. Vasseur cried about when she was confronted by a strange |
| being on the edge of the road, just inches from her handlebars. The |
| figure was of human shape, but squat, and his head was capped with a |
| helmet that came down to the shoulders. The strange being stood |
| staring fixedly at her, and a pencil beam of orange light came from |
| his eyes, which followed the woman. His wife lost consciousness and |
| fell into her husband's arms, but Andre continued on with his wife. |
| When he turned around to look back the being had still not moved. |
| They both suffered from insomnia after the incident. Police |
| reportedly found mysterious footprints at the site. (Source: Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1954, citing LDLN). |
| |
| 1954 - At 9:00 p.m. several UFOs flew over Bondowoso, East Java, |
| Indonesia. (Source: NICAP files; Jacques Vallee citing Jimmy Guieu |

| |
| 1954 - At 10:30 p.m. in Fabriano, Marche, Italy two men, satirist |
| Paolo Cutizi and writer Guilio Emery, were in a local park when they |
| saw a disc-shaped object, six meters in diameter, hovering and |
| emitting small violet flashes. On top of the object was a very tall |
| antenna. Two small robot-like beings, 1.2 meters or four feet tall, |
| descended from it on a long ladder. Their eyes were dark red and |
| "sharp." They spoke something that sounded like "Dbanoda skigyay o |
| dbano," then went back aboard their craft and flew away. (Source: |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 234, |
| case 289, citing Il Messagero, October 24, 1954). |
| |
| 1954 - At 11:50 p.m. a disc or orb-shaped object was seen at ground |
| level in some woods in Laqueuille, Puy-de-Dome, France. It was seen |
| by two witnesses from a truck, and reportedly had an 'arc-welder' |
| glare.(Source: Jean Sider, Dossier 1954 et l'Imposture Rationaliste, |
| p. 115). |
| |
| 1959 - At 9:25 p.m. Captain F. A. Henney, an engineering instructor |
| at the USAF Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado was flying a T-33 |
| jet trainer over Plainville, Kansas at 9:25 p.m. when a bright yellow |
| light came directly head-on at him. The T-33 pilot avoided it and the |
| light then dimmed. The encounter lasted 30 seconds. (Source: Project |
| Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case # 6563; Don |
| Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns, p. 28). |
| |
| 1959 - Two teenagers were in Poquoson, Virginia at 6:15 in the |
| evening when they saw a four foot wide black disc with a silver ring |
| around it, hovering at eighty feet altitude and making a whirring |
| noise. One of them took a shot at it with a rifle, and they heard a |
| clank suggesting that the bullet hit a solid object, then the UFO |
| disappeared. (Sources: Flying Saucer Review, November 1961, p.27; C. |
| W. Fitch, APRO Bulletin, May 1963, p. 5; Loren E. Gross, The Fifth |
| Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1959: October-December, |
| p. 13). |

| 1968 - At 1:30 a.m. a glowing white object seen in sky in West |
| Quincy, Massachusetts. It changed shape from an oval to a cigar |
| standing on end. At times a small blue light appeared underneath it. |
| It blinked out when an airplane approached. (Source: Raymond E. |
| Fowler case files, report dated November 22, 1968). |

| |
| 1973 - In West Melbourne, Florida a youth called the sheriff's |
| department and said he had been watching television at 4:30 p.m. he |
| looked out the window of his house and saw a UFO in his front yard. |
| Apparently the craft just materialized on the ground and did not fly |
| in. He told the department a creature got out that had silvery skin, |
| crab-like claws, antennas, and looked into his living room window |
| with "scary eyes." The sheriff's department quotes him as saying the |
| creature got back into the saucer-shaped object and flew off. It |
| notes that during the same time there were other reports. (Source: |
| David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case 1973-119, citing a newspaper source). |
| |
| 1973 - On this evening in Draguignan, France four youths in two cars |
| drove up a small mountain called Le Malmont to investigate the |
| sighting of an orangish yellow UFO seen earlier in the day by a |
| friend and his girlfriend. No UFO was seen, but a being was seen |
| approaching the group silhouetted by a diffuse white glow. Later two |
| of the witnesses saw three entities chasing their car. The entities |
| were wearing one-piece suits with red lights at the waist level. They |
| wore square helmets with luminous, rectangular eye slots. One of the |
| beings wore something resembling a gas mask with a veil covering the |
| face. Their gait was slow and mechanical. Meanwhile, the two |
| witnesses in the other car twice saw two sets of "red legs" cross the |
| road. A short while later their car was swung sideways across the |
| road and then back again by some unseen force. Other effects included |
| EM interference with the engines of both cars, a sensation of heat, |
| an odor like burnt insulating tape, and one of the cars was shaken |
| while parked. The beings made modulated whistling sounds. A powerful |
| white light beam was also seen. No physical traces were found at any |
| of the sites. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-49 (A1254); David F. Webb, |
| 1973: The Year of the Humanoids, case 73-30; Jean Chasseigne, FSR, |
| July 1974, p. 32). |
| |
| 1973 - In Goshen, Ohio a farmer was walking his dogs in a field in |
| the early evening when they began to bark. Further ahead he saw a |
| landed, round UFO, 40-45 feet in diameter, with white and blue lights |
| around it. From the object's illumination he could see a ladder and |
| two beings standing beside it. They were human like, about six feet |
| tall. When they saw the farmer and his dogs they got into the UFO, |
| which rose slowly with a low humming noise and then took off at high |
| speed. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case 1973-50; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of the |
| Humanoids). |
| |
| 1973 - A woman was alone traveling by car in Iowa when she noticed a |
| bright light over the next approaching hill. She dimmed her lights |
| and when she crested the hill she noticed a landed disc-shaped object |
| in a nearby cornfield. She slowed her vehicle and saw that the UFO |
| had a slight dome on top and was glowing with a blue light. She |
| called her husband on her CB radio and described the object but soon |
| static made it impossible to communicate by radio. She stopped the |
| vehicle and the next thing she remembered was watching the object |
| take off at high speed. Later under hypnosis the witness remembered |
| seeing five figures standing around her car looking at her. They were |
| about five feet tall with pasty white faces and huge elongated eyes. |
| They had two holes for a nose and slit like mouths. Moments later she |
| found herself inside the object where she saw walls, lots of |
| machinery, and also a very bright light. She next found herself in a |
| room with several monitor-like screens and two humanoids standing |
| near her. These creatures seemed to have claw-like hands. One of the |
| beings was described as more human looking, a female with long hair, |
| a skirt, and a band around her head. The male beings wore one-piece |
| silver metallic jump suits, with gloves, boots, and belts across the |
| chest area. She remembers lying on a table and being forced to remove |
| her clothing. After a physical examination she is led outside by two |
| of the beings and floated to her vehicle. (Sources: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1973, case # 1413; |
| Kevin D. Randle, The October Scenario). |
| |
| 1973 - A woman was driving on Interstate 75 near Ashburn, Georgia |
| when her engine, power brakes and steering quit. No UFO was seen, but |
| a small, metallic man appeared after she had pulled her car to the |
| side of the road. The being had a bubble-dome head or helment with |
| rectangular eye openings. The head moved like a robot's. From the |
| elbows down the arms were narrow and wrinkled, like a chicken's legs. |
| It moved around the car, then was gone. Afterwards she found the |
| engine billowing smoke and the hood intensely hot. (Source: David F. |
| Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1973-47; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of the Humanoids). |
| |
| 1973 - On this night a farm couple in Copeland, North Carolina |
| encountered a blue, oval-shaped UFO hovering near their mobile home. |
| They then saw a three-foot tall humanoid in a gold metallic coverall |
| standing directly below the object. Their dog fled the area, and |
| didn't return until the next day. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-48; David |
| F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The Humanoids). |
| |
| 1997 - The witness heard a strange noise in her kitchen in Crofton, |
| Maryland at 2:00 a.m. Thinking it was her cat she went to |
| investigate. At the entrance to her kitchen she encountered several |
| humanoids, which she described as about five feet tall, with pale |
| grayish skin and large black eyes. The humanoids seemed to be |
| inspecting a silverware tray, sliding it back and forth. Suddenly one |
| of the humanoids turned and saw the witness, who promptly fainted. |
| After a few moments she came to lying on the floor of the kitchen. |
| She looked up and saw three humanoids huddled together. Feeling a |
| surge of terror she fainted again, but not before seeing a silvery |
| flashing sphere hovering over her. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1997, case # 3193, citing Peter Davenport, |
| National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). |
| |
| 1998 - Several men were out elk hunting in an isolated area near |
| Vernal, Utah when they saw what appeared to be a plane crashing. They |
| left their truck and proceeded over a nearby ridge to investigate. As |
| they got closer to the area they saw two more craft hovering over the |
| area. On the ground they saw what appeared to be some "people" |
| gathered around. They reported their sighting to the National UFO |
| Reporting Center. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1998, case #3192, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, Seattle). |
| |
| 1998 - A witness at 9:30 p.m. in Defiance, Ohio was just pulling out |
| of a driveway when he noticed a triangular craft with a light at each |
| corner, two white and one blue. He pulled over to get a better look, |
| and watched as it flew silently close to the ground and behind some |
| trees. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle, October 1998 webpage). |
| |
| 2000 - At ten o'clock in the evening a white object hovered low over |
| a school in Chiu-Chiu, Atacama, Chile. Fresia Berlina Vega, a young |
| woman, was playing with 10-year-old Valentina, daughter of a local |
| schoolteacher, on the school grounds when they both saw a bright |
| star-like light suddenly appear in the sky. The light quickly |
| descended towards the witnesses, emitting bright blue, red and |
| yellow flashes of light. They could see a huge round object, the size |
| of a soccer field, that hovered just outside the school perimeter at |
| 40 feet above the ground. Next, a noise like a thunder clap was |
| heard, and a panel opened on the object and a bright beam of light |
| shone down from the object illuminating both of them. Fresia felt a |
| cold wave envelope her body. The beam of light then retreated back |
| into the object and another thunderclap was heard. The |
| object remained above the witnesses for a few more moments in which |
| Fresia again felt a definite change of temperature, and she felt her |
| head was swelling up. Momentarily, she was overcome with a state of |
| complete relaxation, and she felt a prickling sensation invade her |
| entire body. Meanwhile, Valentina felt the same presence and |
| complained of a headache and discomfort in her nose; she was later to |
| suffer from insomnia. They may have experienced missing time and had |
| a brief abduction experience at this time, because they were both |
| found dazed and shivering. As the object moved away towards a nearby |
| cemetery both witnesses felt a slight tremor in the earth. Fresia |
| reported some beneficial aftereffects from the encounter, because a |
| persistent back pain went away, but she also experienced |
| irregularities with her menstrual cycle. She felt also more relaxed |
| and at ease. She would have peculiar "dreams" in which several short |
| dark human-like figures with large heads would approach her and ask |
| her how she was feeling. They reassured her that things were going to |
| improve in her life. She further described the beings as about 1.50 |
| meters in height, wearing thick soled boots. She is convinced that |
| she will see them again some day. (Sources: UFO Magazine (USA), |
| February 2001, p. 29; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
| 2000, case # 3463, citing Ramon Navia Osorio). |
| |
| 2005 - At 8:45 p.m. a white sphere flew over the witness in Terrace, |
| British Columbia, then stopped, hovered, and finally flew away again. |
| (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2005 Canadian UFO Survey, case 102, citing |
| HBCCUFO). |
| |
| 2005 - At 10:00 p.m. in Whitesburg, Kentucky a black triangle with |
| red lights on the corners and two brighter smaller "escorts" flew |
| silently overhead in the night sky. (Source: peter Davenport, |
| National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, October 2005 webpage, report |
| uploaded November 3, 2005). |
