Update History:

v1.46: Adding ~3700 events, translated from the French chronology Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI by Belgian ufologist Godelieve Van Overmeire, 1935-2021. Note these events are from the old HTML version on archive.org, not the larger (10k event) PDF version. It is unclear if these events are copyrighted. I didn’t see a copyright in either the HTML or PDF versions.
v1.43: Added ~3160 events, translated from a French chronology to English using OpenAI, from rr0.org. I believe this chronology was composed by Jérôme Beau. Its license is here.
v1.40: Added digitized events/newspaper clippings from Frank Scully’s papers at the American Heritage Center in Laramie, WY, summarized the events from the timeline on the Disclosure Diaries website, and added more misc. events. Fixed auto-translation issue in the search page.
v1.38: Added a client-side search engine. There are a bunch of features I’m going to add to this engine, for now it can only search for keywords in the desc, location and and reference fields.
v1.37: Updated intro text, added total number of events to each event year, added a few 1800’s events.
v1.36: Extracted and summarized the events in the book It Didn’t Start with Roswell by Philip L. Rife. Also extracted the military UFO events from Richard Dolan’s book UFOs and the National Security State: Chronology of a Cover-up, 1941–1973.
v1.34: Added more modern events, 1917 Mystery Airplane newspaper articles.
v1.33: More events: Events from George D. Fawcett, short AI summaries of Stringfield’s 1978 MUFON symposium presentation, and short AI summaries of the pre-industrial era sighting events from the book Wonders in the Sky: Unexplained Aerial Objects from Antiquity to Modern Times.
v1.30: Added 203 Mystery Helicopter/mutilation related events (1970’s-1980’s) compiled by author/researcher Thomas R. Adams (1945-2015) (or see here), from his book The Choppers - and the Choppers, Mystery Helicopters and Animal Mutilations, minor fixes
v1.28: Added KWIC (Key Word in Context) index.
v1.27: Imported Anonymous PDF’s contents, originally from here, with fixed URL’s
v1.23-1.24: Added a handful of key historical events, such as Edward Tauss the head of CIA UFO disinformation in the 50’s
v1.22: Fixing the date of Dr. Eric W. Davis’s March, 2020 classified briefing to the Senate (I had it listed as March 2019) - info from NY Times. Basic locations added to Eberhart records using OpenAI.
v1.20: Split up into 5 parts, to work around iPhone web browser limits. Minor spelling and grammer fixes throughout timeline.
v1.15: Eberhart records now have basic locations, thanks to OpenAI’s Davinci-3 AI model. They aren’t perfect, but it’s a good start to geocoding them.
v1.14: Added nuclear test data, over 2000 records, from the Worldwide Nuclear Explosions paper by Yang, North, Romney, and Richards. Note the locations in the paper are approximate, and the yields are not super accurate, which are two problems I’ll fix over time. I improved the coordinates of the earliest USA/USSR tests by looking them up from Wikipedia.
v1.13: Split up the timeline into 4 parts. Still not the best solution, but it avoids croaking browsers.
v1.12: Added *U* database record data, using a custom event description decoder to handle his 1k+ abbreviations and custom syntax
v1.11: Crawled all ~10.5k unique URL’s in this timeline using curl and fixed dead URL’s to use archive.org.
v1.10: Added NICAP DB data.

Important Notes:

Best viewed on a desktop/laptop, not a mobile device. On Windows, Firefox works best, followed by Edge, then Chrome.

I’ve split up the timeline into 4 parts, to reduce their sizes: distant past up to 1949, 1950-1959, 1960-1979, and 1980-present.

The majority of the events in this chronology are sighting related, however it’s important to be aware that this is a timeline of
UFO/UAP related events, not necessarily or exclusively UFO sightings. This is not exclusively a UFO sightings timeline or database.

Some sighting reports or events appear multiple times in this timeline because they appear in more than one data source. I view this as a useful feature.

Currently, the events are not sorted by time of day, only by date. Some sources have separate “time” fields, but most don’t. This will be fixed once the event times are automatically extracted from the description fields.

A few events don’t have firm dates, for example “Summer of 1947”, or “Late July 1952”. In these instances the compilation code uses fixed dates I selected for date sorting purposes. (See the code for the specific dates.)

Source Code:

This website is created automatically using a C++ command line tool called “ufojson”. It parses the raw text and Markdown source data to JSON format, which is then converted to a single large web page using pandoc. This tool’s source code and all of the raw source and JSON data is located here on github.

Date: Early 1970’s
Description: 2:30–3:00 a.m. Two young men in Furnace Creek, California, are followed by a red ball of light the size of a beach ball. They get scared and run ahead to their house, slamming and locking the door behind them. The ball stops at the edge of their yard, hovering and oscillating in size. After 4–5 minutes, the ball moves away and creates a vortex, causing stones to rise and circle in the air. They can hear the sound of the stones hitting together. Then the light blinks out, and the rocks crash down onto the road.

Event 32179 (04702506)

Date: 1970
Location: USA
Description: (Translated from French) At the same time (with the launch of the BMEWS alert satellites since Spring 1960) “IMEWS” (Integrated Early Warning System) were launched, equipped with two infrared cameras, one of which was equipped with a large diameter mirror, in order to discriminate between real rocket launches and simple reflections of the sun on clouds, which were the source of very numerous false alarms for the previous satellites. (…) The alert, if any, is transmitted to the nearest receiving station, in particular those of Guam or Australia. (…) These IMEWS are placed in geostationary orbit and not simply geosynchronous like those of the BMEWS. They are huge drums 3 m high and 3 m in diameter flanked by four solar panel panels giving them a wingspan of 7 meters. (From 1970 onwards)

In retaliation, the Soviets launched a very large number of them since 1970. The first of them was Cosmos 389, placed on an orbit between 600 and 650 km altitude approximately, inclined at 81°. Their launch frequency has gone up to 4 or 5 (per year) eight years later. (From 1970)

(vog: yet another unnatural gestation revealed by Jean FERGUSON… he does it on purpose!) Especially since the offspring she gave birth to has unknown physiological characteristics. Male, of human appearance, he can breathe safely in water or any liquid environment and can sniff a dozen deadly gases for ordinary humans. He has the gift of telekinesis, he can transmit his thoughts and read those of the people around him. So far, the father has not shown up to give a solid explanation about this “space cutting”. . .

Torbitt claims DISC’s offices are at 3990 East Broad Street, Columbus, OH and Redstone Arsenal.

He claims DISC includes the security division of NASA and includes awareness among a tight group of key personnel including J. Edgar Hoover, Wernher Von Braun, William Sullivan, Clay Shaw, and former FBI employee Guy Bannister. It is alleged Permindex is aware of advanced UAP projects and protects them with surveillance and intimidation, and possibly, assassination.

Event 32194 (E0DE4B15)

Date: 1/1/1970
Location: CANADA, Vancouver
Description: (Translated from French) (Source: From Our UFO Visitors, by John Magor) It was close to five o’clock in the morning when Miss Doreen Kendall, a nurse at the Cowichan District Hospital, noted that one of the strangers in her care was agitated. Deciding that he was too hot, she opened the window. As she drew back the curtains, she was met with a flash of light in her eyes. It was still dark outside, and about 20 m away, above the children’s pavilion to her left, there was a large luminous object, lighting up the area as if it were broad daylight. It was a circular object, the base was silver, but like a ball. All around it were lights in a necklace. The dome was transparent, made of glass and she could see inside. There were two figures, men, she thought. The one in front seemed taller, or was on a raised part. She looked on with immense curiosity but without any fear. Their heads were in something dark, tightly closed. She saw the craft rise, tilting, and she saw the figures from head to knees and they seemed to be facing chairs. They wore tight clothing of the same color as what they wore on their heads, but their hands were free and seemed human, with skin like that of the Earthlings. She saw a kind of panel, like a huge dashboard, going from the back of the object to the top, as if embedded in metal. This is how she forgot about Nurse Frieda Wilson, who was in the same room. She felt that she must not make any noise, nor call her colleague. The man in front slowly turned towards her, but his face was also covered, he touched the other man on the back, and the latter deliberately maneuvered a kind of lever and the saucer began to rotate slowly, still close to the building.

Event 32199 (BB61939D)

Date: 1/1/1970
Location: Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan, British Columbia
Description: 5:00 a.m. Registered nurse Doreen Kendall is looking out a window at the Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan, British Columbia, and sees a bright, Saturn-shaped object about 50 feet in diameter hovering one story above her, about 60 feet off the ground and 40 feet away. It has a row of lights around its middle. She can see two humanoid figures in dark, tight-fitting clothing and wearing headgear in the upper portion. One stands at an instrument panel, with the other behind it. The second being looks directly at Kendall, then touches the first being, who moves a lever, apparently causing the craft to tilt down and provide a view of its interior. Kendall calls for other witnesses, who arrive in time to see the UFO leave.

Event 32204 (574E06FA)

Date: 1/7/1970
Location: FINLAND, Imjärvi (Heinola)
Description: (Translated from French) Aarno Heinonen, 36 years old, and Esko Viljo, 38 years old, were skiing in a forest 16 km north of Heinola. At 4:45 PM, as the sun was beginning to set, they decided to rest. A kind of buzzing sound was then heard and, looking up, Heinonen saw in the air a light of strong intensity that began a wide turn and came in their direction. It descended and stopped right in the space, surrounded by a kind of luminous grayish mist that manifested itself by pulsations, 15 m from the witnesses. Through the mist they saw an object of metallic appearance, the base of 3 m in diameter had three globes on a rim and in the middle a kind of large tube of about 25 cm in diameter. The mist gradually dissipated and when the object descended to 4 m from the ground the buzzing stopped. A beam of light came out of the central tube and a creature of about 90 cm appeared at ground level in this tube of light. Its face was pale like wax, on the head it wore a shiny conical helmet, and it was dressed in a light gray overalls that shone. The humanoid was wearing green boots. In his hand he held a black box from which a blinding flash suddenly emerged. The mist reformed around the object and the illuminated circle emitted green and red sparks. The fog thickened, the light trembled like the flame of a candle and returned to the tube. Then it was as if the mist scattered and everything had disappeared. Heinonen felt weak, paralyzed on the right side. It took them two hours to cover the 2 km that separated them from the village. He had headaches, vomiting, his blood pressure dropped, his balance affected. He was cold, despite the sedatives he had very sore neck, stomach and back for a while and could not return to work. Viljo had a red and swollen face and lost his sense of balance. He felt a kind of lightness in his legs and his chest and hands were covered with red spots. Other people went to the observation site and were sick for two days. (Inforespace n° 22, p. 2 and 3) Arno HEINONEN (36 years old) and Esko VILJO (38 years old): AH; heat and numbness in the side exposed to the UFO; respiratory difficulties; inability to work; EC: swellings, redness, loss of balance, headaches

Event 32205 (F55A1085)

Date: 1/7/1970
Description: (Translated from French) Finnish competitive cross-country skiers, lumberjack Aarno Heinonen and farmer Esko Viljo, find themselves in the forest near Imjãrvi (Finland). They decide to rest in a clearing and watch the stars rise as twilight falls. The two men hear a buzzing sound and see in the sky a very bright light approaching from the north. It turns around at the clearing level and descends towards them from the south. It is surrounded by a red-gray luminous mist. When the cloud has descended to about 15 m from the ground, they see in its center a disc of about 3 m in diameter. The disc stays at this height, continuing to buzz. Then, according to Heinonen: The immense disc began to descend with the red-gray mist, which became thinner and transparent. It stopped at a height of 3 or 4 m, so close that I could touch it with my ski stick. We saw that its upper part was topped with a dome. Along the lower edge was a kind of raised part with 3 spheres with domes spaced at equal distances. From the center of its lower part protruded a tube about 25 cm in diameter, from which suddenly came an intense beam of light. I suddenly felt as if someone had pulled me back. At the same second, I saw the creature. It stood in the middle of the light beam, with a black box in its hands. It was about 90 cm tall, with very thin arms and legs. Its face was like pale wax. The nose looked more like a hook than a nose. The ears were very small and narrowed at the face. The creature wore a kind of suit in a light green material and a shiny conical helmet like metal. The being points the black box at Heinonen, and a blinding, flickering yellow light takes him as a target. A red mist begins to cover the area and red, green and purple sparks begin to rain around the skiers like candles about 10 cm long floating in long curves. The mist becomes thicker and thicker, until, according to Viljo, the beam suddenly began to decrease, rose like a flickering flame and was sucked into the opening of the craft. Then it was as if the veil of mist had dissolved. The air around us was empty! After a few minutes, Heinonen realizes that he can no longer use his left leg, the one that was most exposed to the strange light beam. Viljo supports his friend to his home, about 3 km further. In the months that followed, Heinonen suffered from severe memory loss, constant pain, exhaustion and headaches. For 2 months, his urine was like black coffee. Viljo suffered from facial swelling, headaches and eye problems. (January 7th, 4:45 PM)

Description: 4:45 p.m. Two skiers, lumberjack Aarno Heinonen and farmer Esko Viljo, at Imjärvi, Finland, watch a disc- shaped, buzzing UFO approach them and hover. It is so close to Heinonen that he could touch it with his ski pole. From an opening in the center of the object’s bottom, a bright light beam is emitted, creating an illuminated area of 3 feet in diameter on the snow beneath it, edged with black. A red gray mist descends again; when it clears, both men can see, only 10 feet away, a 3-foot tall humanoid creature standing in the illuminated area, carrying in its hands a black box with a pulsating yellow light. Its arms and legs are very thin, its face pale like wax, and its nose hooked; it wears a light green coverall with darker green knee boots, white gauntlets, and a conical metallic helmet. Then the mist again descends, and long red, green, and purple sparks float out from the lighted area. A sort of flame rises from this spot and enters the UFO; then the mist and the UFO vanish. After this experience, Heinonen finds his right leg numb, and he vomits and passes black urine; Viljo also suffers severe physiological effects. Heinonen claims, two years later, a series of contacts with a female spacewoman.

Event 32210 (6A7830FA)

Date: 1/7/1970
Description: At 3:45 in the afternoon two cross-country skiers, Aarno Heinonen and Esko Viljo, heard a buzzing sound and saw a round, ten foot wide metallic object with a flat bottom and a dome in the sky outside of Imjarvi, Finland. It was wrapped by a reddish-gray mist. The UFO descended to within ten feet of the snow-covered ground in a forest clearing and the buzzing sound ceased. It was described as being so close to Heinonen that he could have touched it with his ski pole.

The two men next saw a beam of light come from an opening in the bottom of the craft. It created an illuminated area three feet in diameter on the snow beneath it, edged with black. A red gray mist descended again, and when it cleared both men could see, only 10 feet away, a three foot tall little man on the ground standing in the illuminated area. He had thin arms and legs, a pale waxy complexion with a hook nose, and wore a light green coverall uniform with darker green knee boots, white gauntlets, and a conical metallic helmet.

He held a small black box at his chest level with a pulsating yellow light from which a beam was emitted. Then the mist descended again, and long red, green and purple “sparks” floated out from the lighted area. A flame of sorts rose from this spot and the being entered the UFO. Then the mist vanished along with the UFO. After this experience, Heinonen found that his right leg was numb. He vomited and he passed urine that was black in color. Viljo also suffered severe physiological effects. Aarno Heinonen would go on to experience other close encounters, two years later, in a series of contacts with a fair skinned female being.

Description: The UFO Subcommittee of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics sponsors a panel that meets in New York City to discuss differing viewpoints on UFOs. Among the panel members are Hynek , McDonald , Thornton Page , Gordon D. Thayer , and Philip Klass . The subcommittee, led by Joachim P. Kuettner, consists of scientists with no previous position on UFOs and reaches several middle-of-the-road conclusions. It criticizes the NAS position that the ETH is the least likely explanation and rejects McDonald’s position that it is the “least unsatisfactory.” It criticizes the Condon report, in which the conclusions do not match the data, and recommends a moderate-level, ongoing study of UFOs.

Location: BELGIUM, Rhode St Genèse (not Uccle-Calevoet)
Description: (Translated from French) The witness, having parked his car, began his usual jogging session in this rural area. After a journey, he followed a field with wide furrows. Suddenly he saw a vertical wall of blue and fluorescent light as if placed on the furrows. The shape of this wall of light was regular, a few meters from the path. Despite his astonished fear, the witness approached this palisade of light which, suddenly, collapsed like a mass of light snakes, forming a single entity with interruptions whose ends were like cut off. This wriggling agglomerate stretched like a rope and flew undulating through the fields, progressing in waves, as if it followed the height and hollows of the furrows taken across. Then, without stopping, it disappeared towards a wooded area. The witness then discovered the traces of the phenomenon on the crest of the furrows. He returned the next evening to the scene without discovering or observing anything. (1970, January 24 (not 23))

Event 32221 (DDD098B3)

Date: 1/24/1970
Location: France
Description: (Translated from French) Saturday, early evening, around 7:30 PM. Mr. Herbosch was walking in the middle of Avenue de la Réserve when his gaze was drawn to something faintly luminous, about 20 meters in front of him, to his left, on the vacant lot, raised at this point by about 75 cm. It was then 7:45 PM. The witness stopped and saw that it was a kind of “stain on the ground”, oval in shape, several meters in size, 7 or 8 meters at first glance, which suddenly became very bright, like a phosphorescent light green color. (…) He was looking for the lamp or light source that should have produced such an effect. Indeed, it was logical, only a powerful projector could have been the source of this stain on the ground. But no beam of light or any device was visible. There was NOTHING. Suddenly, when he was barely 10 meters away from this stain, the witness stopped dead in his tracks, so much so that what he saw seized him, bewildered him and scared him. (What follows took place in 20 or 30 seconds maximum). The stain became brighter and brighter; it seemed to vibrate, then it swelled or inflated, a bit like a balloon, first laid flat on the ground, then suddenly inflated. The luminous bell thus formed grew even more, and the top reached a height of about 5 meters. It also looked a bit like the dome that could be seen on old steam locomotives. The coloration became almost blinding and the green color became paler, tending more towards neon white. This mass of light vibrated in a frightening way but still kept a clear bell shape and seemed to be made up of thousands of tiny luminous particles moving and swarming in all directions inside the bell. This gave the impression of terrible nervousness. When it reached its maximum height, this insolent apparition violently illuminated the whole landscape, as well as the curtain of trees at the end of the vacant lot. These trees, which are about 100 meters from Avenue de la Réserve, were illuminated in their entire height, as if by a flash of extraordinary power. Mr. Herbosch was also able to notice through the bell which was translucent despite the strong brightness, that the base was perfectly elliptical. The spectacle was quite frightening, all the more so since it took place in total silence. No heat effect or smell was noticed. At that moment, in the face of this quite unusual and unknown phenomenon to him, Mr. Herbosch was seized by extreme fear, but he stayed there, frozen, paralyzed in front of this strange scene. Immediately after illuminating the landscape, which lasted a few seconds, the bell suddenly collapsed or deflated to take its initial form of a stain, identical to what it was at the beginning of the observation. The brightness became weak again and again of a pale green color. Then the stain moved on the ground of the vacant lot and moved away from the witness (perhaps at 10 or 15 km/h) and disappeared towards the northwest, in the direction of a villa under construction at the time…

Event 32258 (B140530E)

Date: 2/18/1970
Location: USA, Glacier Park (Montana)
Description: (Translated from French) Leona Nielson was with two friends in her mountain cabin. They had had a pleasant evening and had gone to bed around one o’clock in the morning. But Leona couldn’t fall asleep. Her room faced the Flat River flowing down the hill. Suddenly the room was brightly lit by a light coming from below and she went out onto the balcony to see what it was. She then saw, in the field on the edge of the river, an enormous flying saucer about 20 meters in diameter with a platform 2 meters wide all around it. Two strange beings were busy on this platform as if they were making a repair, and probably using electric welding, as sparks could be seen. These beings were of normal size, bareheaded, wearing white overalls and seemed to walk and work like human beings. With her two friends who had joined her, Leona watched the repair which lasted for nearly an hour, then the sparks stopped. The two humanoids went back into their saucer, it immediately started off at a fantastic speed and disappeared into the clouds. (February 18, 1970)

Location: CHINA, Weinanzheng, Gansu
Description: (Translated from French) One night at 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning, I went out to do a natural need. The weather was nice, the sky was all clear. On the porch, I instinctively looked up and saw, in the sky, to the northeast, something huge higher than the moon. This thing was luminous, 1.30m high and 1m wide, more than 2m long. The object looked exactly like a transparent door suspended in the firmament. Its luminosity seemed to me similar to that of a cinema screen. I was very surprised and stayed in the courtyard for about ten minutes without moving. (…) I went into the room to wake up my two other companions, but they were sleeping deeply and I didn’t succeed. As I was cold and scared, I didn’t dare go out again to see the strange phenomenon. The next day I fell ill and, for three days, I had a headache, I was always feeling like vomiting.

Event 32284 (7BB570D7)

Date: 3/26/1970
Location: SPAIN, Gabriel y Galand Dam
Description: (Translated from French) Nicolas Santos was driving when he could follow the maneuvers of an object of discoidal shape surrounded by portholes and surmounted by a dome. A reddish halo surrounded this thing that came to stop two hundred meters from the witness. Suddenly, under the object appeared several beams of bright light directed towards the ground. (…) “Suddenly the object started to move. It was something extraordinary. It gathered its light beams like a bird gathers its wings. The light folded in on itself gently and simultaneously the halo surrounded the craft again and it moved away.” Following the observation, the witness had to be treated for conjunctivitis. That night, for an undetermined cause, there was a power outage in the dam’s installations. (Jean-Marie DOUCHET - Nostra - 24.12.1980) It was, the witnesses said, something extraordinary, an enormous disc of about 15 m in diameter and 3 m high, flying horizontally, “majestically” and without noise. Very slowly, impressive to behold. The spectacle lasted 3 hours. It was evolving at an altitude of about 200 meters. A dozen powerful light beams illuminated the ground: a very particular light, very similar in intensity to fluorescent light, but of a slightly yellow-greenish color. On the side of the craft, portholes were faintly lit. Fairy spectacle more than frightening since one of the main witnesses, Mr. Santos Nicolas, a teacher in Guijo de Grenadilla, said: “I couldn’t believe it. It had been more than an hour that I could contemplate something wonderful, something so unusual that it really couldn’t belong to our world…” This long observation caused the witness’s vision to be altered, a burning sensation in the eyes. The ophthalmologist diagnosed conjunctivitis.

Event 32292 (A2C13E91)

Date: 3/28/1970
Locations: Cradle Hill; Warminster, Wiltshire, England
Description: 11:00 p.m. About 30 UFO spotters gathered on Cradle Hill, just outside Warminster, Wiltshire, England, see a flashing purple light. One of their sensors buzzes, indicating a strong magnetic field, and one observer (Norman Foxwell) takes photos that appear in the July/August 1970 Flying Saucer Review. But the UFO is actually a light beam from a high-intensity purple spot-lamp operated by a group of UFO debunkers, among them physicist David I. Simpson. Foxwell himself is part of the skeptical group (having pre-exposed a spurious UFO image), as is the individual who operated the bogus magnetic-field sensor. The hoax is revealed six years later.

Event 32307 (927593A8)

Date: 4/5/1970
Description: Internal McDonnell Douglas documents state Project Skylite was a pitched effort to replicate UAP observables that didn’t materialize. The term “DFO” or “Douglas Flying Object” is given as a reference to the concept of creating a craft that mimics UAP behavior. Bob Wood, Chan Thomas, Paul Wilson, Joe Brown and Stanton Friedman are all names attached to the proposed project that ultimately received no funding.

Description: (Translated from French) Finally, there was the aborted Apollo 13 mission, which forced the return to Earth of the lunar module that was supposed to rest on the moon forever. Inside its sides, however, was a small nuclear generator (4 kilograms of plutonium) destined to power the scientific equipment that the astronauts were to deploy on the moon. This module fell into the Tonga Trench in the middle of the Pacific. The surveys that have been carried out since then fortunately show no modification of the underwater environment. (Note from Vog: this module is supposed to still be intact in the sea, off the Fiji Islands). (April 11, 1970)

Event 32320 (84A9469D)

Date: 4/15/1970
Description: Kalle Tiihonen, age 39, a locally well known and respected retired athlete, had just come from the sauna and was drinking coffee in his kitchen in Kursu, Salla, Finland at around 5 p.m. when he and his family heard a sound resembling a swarm of bees. He then had the feeling that someone was staring at him from the doorway behind him. He turned around and saw a small creature about 1.2 meters in height, clad in a tight fitting shiny green suit and helmet. The creature had very dark, large eyes, with a human look. Tiihonen believed that the creature had not come in through the door since he would have heard some noise. For several moments they stared at each other, and then Tiihonen asked the creature where he was from. “From the space,” was the answer. Tiihonen was unsure if he in fact heard the answer or if it was a mental message. In an effort to make conversation Tiihonen asked the alien if the Apollo 13 astronauts, then stranded in space, would get back home safely. “Yes they will”, was the answer. Tiihonen spoke with the being of other subjects for some time, but could not recall later what they spoke about, other than the creature promised to return. It took a step backwards and disappeared in an instant. Tiihonen again heard the noise resembling a swarm of bees. Tiihonen’s eight-year-old son was sitting in another room during the encounter and heard his father talking to someone, but the dividing wall kept him from seeing the humanoid. However, he did see a bright object land on the grass outside, and also saw it lift off. Tiihonen ran to the sauna where his wife was and told her about his encounter. After the incident, Tiihonen was unable to sleep for three nights in a row, and experienced a sort of malaise for over a week.

Date: 4/29/1970

Locations: Lake Anten, Västra Götaland, Sweden; Enebacken; Gothenburg, Sweden
Description: Around midnight. Several independent groups of witnesses to the west of Lake Anten, Västra Götaland, Sweden, watch a red, glowing sphere fly around the lake and neighboring areas. It occasionally sends out a beam of light to the ground. Some of the observers get the impression that the beams originate on the ground rather than from the object. The next morning a few of the observers get into boats and sail to the spot where the sphere was seen hovering. In one corner of the garden of an isolated farmhouse named Enebacken, they find three round marks, one foot in diameter and 1.5 inches deep, burned into the ground in the shape of an equilateral triangle. A UFO group in Gothenburg, Sweden, takes soil samples to a laboratory for gamma-ray testing and finds significant non-background radiation at a peak that seems to derive from cesium-137, a radioactive isotope.

Description: (Translated from French) An engineering student from MIT attends a curious ballet: At that moment, the Great Bear was almost at its zenith. I suddenly noticed that 2 of the stars were moving… in a circle around a common center while maintaining their position around two opposite points of the diameter, as would for example two small paint strokes at the two opposite edges of a microcross turning on a turntable. They were making about 30 turns/min, in the opposite direction of the hands of a clock, at a constant speed; the brightness of the objects was lower than that of Acturus, a little lower than that of Alpha, Beta and Gamma in the Great Bear. They suddenly stopped. (…) They remained absolutely still, then they began to move away from each other and the one that was heading south suddenly stopped… “The star” that had started to move north continued its march.

Event 32368 (6900613F)

Date: 5/29/1970
Location: Washington, D.C.
Description: John L. Acuff, an experienced manager but not a UFO researcher, becomes the new president of NICAP. He is the former executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Society of Photographic Scientists and Engineers [now the Society for Imaging Science and Technology], which has cooperated with NICAP on photoanalysis but also has military and CIA connections. Acuff and G. Stuart Nixon dismantle the NICAP system of affiliates and state subcommittee system that have promoted the organization for years. Regional members are told to operate independently from one another; cooperation is discouraged. Criticism of the government’s UFO policy is no longer permitted and NICAP turns into a mere “sighting collection center.” Nixon is appointed executive director.

A circular object rises from behind some woods 1,600 feet from the road. It hovers for 30 seconds at an altitude of 66 feet. Relative to the trees, the object appears to be about 33 feet in diameter, and flames seem to shoot from its base. It slowly returns to the ground, where it is partially obscured by trees, but it continues to emit beams of light from its top and sides. Fearful, the driver leaves the area. Ufologist Bill Chalker accompanies the witness to the landing site, where they discover six circles of dead grass of varying sizes and burned trees.

Event 32383 (59115D39)

Date: 6/4/1970
Description: In Evillers, Doubs department, France in 1970, six children reported seeing four three-and-a-half-foot tall humanoid beings. The bulky humanoids wore red tops with black straps, and carried large sacks on their belts. They also saw a strange gray “dog” creature that jumped a distance of 40 feet. At around 2:45 p.m. Marie, age 10, was standing on the road opposite a house that was being used as a storehouse and stable, when she saw a figure at a windowpane-less second floor window. The being was the size of a child, but had a big protruding stomach. She told other children and several of them, led by Noel, age 12, entered the building. Noel saw a small person about 3.5 feet tall in a red sweater with a black shoulder strap across it, which he chased down the stairs and outdoors to the pasture.

That evening at 6:30 p.m. Bertrand, age 10, was near the building when he noticed a “boy” about 3.5 feet tall standing beside it. He had a big belly and was wearing a red sweater crossed by a wide black strap. This “boy” ran around behind the building. A short time later Noel, Simon, and Barthelemy all saw a long gray animal, which they called a “dog”, make a giant leap from the second floor window (about 12 feet high), and landed on the ground some 40 feet from the house. It left footprints “like a calf’s.” Then a small person like those seen earlier came out of the barn and called the “dog” to him with a snap of his fingers. He then passed a thick leash around its neck. Then three more such beings appeared, all alike except that one lacked a large stomach. They wore black hats with a peak behind. All four, with the “dog”, then began to run very rapidly down the road away from the village. Two trucks passed and as they did the little men and their “dog” nimbly jumped off the road and hid. They ran out of sight. The next day the “dog’s” paw prints were found. Six days later, the building mysteriously caught fire and burned to the ground.

This object was throwing a very bright green light. When it landed on the hill it started to emit an incomprehensible music. Finding this strange the peasant ran to report it to the village chief. The responsible (…) immediately mobilized hundreds of militiamen to surround the hill. That night the sky was covered and black as ink. (…) But after an hour, the flying object, ejecting a powerful white light, forced the line of militiamen and quickly rose into the sky. (1970, Summer)

Event 32398 (A159F75F)

Date: 6/21/1970
Description: Paul Foster, in the St. Helliers section of Auckland, New Zealand, saw a figure about 20 yards away from him while working on a car. It was facing in the opposite direction. Viewed from the rear, the humanoid was about 5’9" tall and wore a one-piece blue coverall, the legs of which were tucked into mud covered boots. The man carried a leather case on his left hip attached to a strap over his right shoulder, and was holding a box-like object to his face with a periscope like extender sticking out and up to the right side. This periscope device was pointed away from the observer to the north, toward the sun. The figure was blond with short-cropped hair. He walked dragging his feet, as if fatigued. Foster glanced away thinking it was perhaps a mailman, but when he realized it was Sunday, he knew this could not be. When he again looked up the figure had gone. Foster rushed out in search of him but could find no trace.

Event 32402 (9CED7090)

Date: 6/26/1970
Location: BRAZIL, Rio de Janeiro
Description: (Translated from French) Joao Aguiar, a policeman, drew the attention of Mrs. Nazaré to what was happening in front of them in the sea: was a boat capsizing, with water spraying out in all directions? The occupants of the boat were in the water and gesticulating in their shiny clothes with something on their heads. They then seemed to be working on the boat’s dome! It had a non-shiny metallic look and measured 4 to 6 meters. The policeman went to get help, Mrs. Nazaré and her family watched through binoculars. The phenomenon was 700 or 1000m away. After 20 minutes of immobility, the object approached a rocky outcrop 100m from the beach and stayed there for half an hour. Then it took off towards the southeast, gliding on the surface of the water with the sound of a motorboat. At that moment the policeman returned and observed the UFO with other witnesses. Its lower part was hexagonal with colored lights, green-yellow, white-red. Appearing metallic on the water, once in flight it seemed transparent and they saw two passengers seated inside. It disappeared silently. At the spot where the craft had been, one of the children saw a kind of white hoop, which disappeared, reappeared in the company of a yellow body, which floated half-emerged, it floated towards the beach and was followed by a green fringe. The yellow body made a 90° turn and left towards Gavea. The white hoop did the same and the witnesses lost sight of them. (Inforespace n° 8, p. 34, 35) Mrs. Maria Machado was looking out the window while preparing dinner and saw a gray disc, topped with a transparent dome, sailing on the ocean. Two silhouettes in luminous clothing were working on the deck. After 40 minutes the object left, leaving behind it a white mass floating towards the distance.

Description: (Translated from French) … one evening at 9 o’clock, my comrades and I were walking on the way back after a movie session. Hardly arrived in front of the improvised office on a deserted ground, we saw in the sky, in the northeast, a yellow lantern. More than ten people were already there to watch. (…) It was a luminous object in the shape of a hat inclined of 90°: its apparent diameter was more than one third of a meter. The whole seemed to be in a glass mask. The part of the dome appeared less transparent than the rest. The central part was brilliantly illuminated as if there was a powerful lamp inside. The luminosity remained stable during two minutes. When the object passed above us, it was at a hundred meters of the ground. My colleague Zhou Paizhong … immediately had the idea to go and get a long view … The object occupied the whole field of the eyepiece but we did not see the details of the inside of the luminous hat, which was heading towards the southwest and was getting further and further away, to finally become a small point in the eyepiece of our theodolite.

Description: 3:00 a.m. A 33-year-old Port Monmouth, New Jersey, housewife wakes up and sees a “big round ball” with an “eerie white glow” hovering over the meadows across the street. She watches it bouncing back and forth for 15 minutes as a series of red lights flash in sequence across it. The size is about 25–30 feet wide. The streetlight has gone out and comes back on when the object leaves. Her son and brother-in-law later find three imprints 30–40 feet apart in the shape of a triangle in the meadow. They also find circles impressed in the grass, the largest 15–20 feet in diameter. Then they find tracks “going to the creek like they had dragged some small round thing into the ditch” as well as “two sets of a dozen imprints which were about two feet apart. They were curved like raindrops. It was very visible, the grass was all crushed down, there was mud on the banks of the creek, and there were signs of the tracks in the mud.” One week later, the light returns and crosses the field across the street.

Event 32423 (09E1CCEC)

Date: 7/4/1970
Description: Sequoyah Trueblood was sitting by his pool at his townhouse in Laurel, Maryland, watching his children swimming with his wife sitting next to him. Without knowing why, he felt compelled to leave. He got up, went into the house, changed his clothes, packed a small bag, drove to the airport and took a plane to Oklahoma City. A friend then drove him to Norman, Oklahoma. He felt strange and wanted to lie down, so went to lie down in his friend’s bedroom. He was lying down relaxing when he saw a vortex of swirling lights “like a rainbow” into which he was sucked. Mr. Trueblood then found himself standing in a beautiful garden surrounded by hedges. He felt wide awake. In front of him he saw a silvery saucer-shaped craft and a shimmering small silver being standing on steps that came down from the bottom of the craft. The being had a grayish complexion and had a large baldhead with large eyes. The witness sensed that the being was “androgynous,” neither male nor female. The being communicated telepathically and told him that he had been sent to take him because “they” wanted to talk to him. He agreed to go and walked up the steps. Once inside the craft he heard no sound, but through a small window he could see the moon, the sun, and “millions of stars” go by in an instant. Soon the craft was hovering over a beautiful white city in what he believed was another planet or universe. He next found himself down on the ground. The people in the city appeared to be both male and female, wore white robes, and were fair skinned with “hair that was glowing like the color of sunlight.” The small being then took him down a street lined with beautiful white buildings three stories tall to a clearing in the woods that seemed like a park. There were a number of people there, and a male said to him that if he would “pay attention.” The people told him that they did not need food, for the air they breathed was converted into what was needed to sustain life. A leader figure told him that he had been brought here to show him the potential of the human race. Soon he asked to be returned, and was taken back into the craft, through the vortex, and found himself back in bed.

Event 32431 (A2FC7809)

Date: 7/12/1970
Location: CHINA, Jiala, Taiwan Province.
Description: (Translated from French) At around 5 pm, a UFO descended slowly from the sky and landed in a field (…) The witness is named Cheng Gangdang. He was in a field with his wife to pull out wild grasses, when they suddenly heard a strange noise above them. They looked up and saw an object flying as bright as a diamond. The object was transparent. Its diameter was about 3 arms. The bottom was pointed and the top was conical. Several lights were seen on the body of the object, like electric bulbs, which lit up in turn. Inside, it seemed that there were many instruments. The object flew quickly spinning on itself and it was surrounded by a misty halo. (…) The unknown object descended slowly near a fruit tree and landed without ceasing to spin like a top. This object did not make any noise when it turned (…) Its rotation speed resembled that of children’s tops. On the ground it did not leave any clear traces. Ten minutes after its landing, the object raised a cloud of dust and it rose quickly spinning. First it moved back to the north, then when it reached a certain height in the sky, it flew away in a flash towards the south. In a blink of an eye it had disappeared. (July 12, 1970)

He was surprised to see some kind of headlights coming down from the sky, with a deafening noise. He felt he was suddenly suspended in the air and made desperate efforts to get off his bicycle. This lasted a few minutes, he tried to scream, but no sound came out of his throat. Finally he felt the bike gently descend to the ground and started pedaling again but again he was lifted, but this time in complete silence. The episode otherwise resembled the first one. Finally he was able to leave and arrived at his brother’s house: they then discovered that a package of beef kidneys he was carrying on his luggage rack was missing…

Bennett), Nixon hears suggestions for expanded mail openings, resumption of illegal break-ins, electronic surveillance, and expanded counterintelligence. He approves the plan in July but will not sign it; neither will Haldeman or Ehrlichman. The plan was originally put together by Huston. Hoover torpedoes it when he announces that he will go along with it as soon as he gets written authorization from Nixon for all those break-ins and wiretaps.

Event 32447 (3CF9B6CF)

Date: 7/25/1970
Location: FRANCE, Jabreilles-les-Bordes
Description: (Translated from French) Etienne Géry, 16 years old, an apprentice baker, decided in the afternoon to go for a walk with the hope of discovering mushrooms. He took a familiar route, climbing a small slope. He passed the summit, the vegetation was very dense at this time, the ferns almost reaching the size of a man. Suddenly, between the ferns he distinguished something abnormal: a kind of dome of metallic appearance was there barely 15 m from him. At first intrigued, he stopped, then driven by curiosity he took two more cautious steps. With a stick he parted the curtain of ferns. In doing so, he was dazzled by a very bright yellow-orange light emanating from three kinds of rectangular tiles located just under the dome. In any case, the intensity of the light was such that it seemed to him that the top of the dome was separated from the lower part of the object. Etienne’s curiosity turned into intense fear. He felt paralyzed, unable to make a move, neither to advance nor to flee. The cupola suddenly began to rise slowly, followed by the shell and the whole of the machine emerged from the screen of ferns. The orange beam followed the ascent of the object and Etienne was no longer dazzled. He then distinguished 3 or 4 circular portholes in the middle of the lower part as if they were part of a row that would have gone around it. He estimated the length of the machine at 5 or 6 meters and the height at 2.50 m to 3 m and compared its mass to the importance of a Renault Estafette. On the dome he noticed 3 antennas: the one on the right measuring about 1.50 m, the one on the left inclined to the left 60 cm and the one in the middle standing vertically 45 cm. The antennas seemed rigid to him. They did not oscillate during the ascent. He did not perceive any silhouette behind the portholes. Suddenly the object began to rise, accompanied by a shrill whistle. On the underside four absolutely identical supports were as if they had come out of 4 holes. Each one ended with a flat or slightly convex sole, longer than wide. The four feet retracted into the lower part, the object tilted, took a normal attitude and moved away. During the elevation of the machine Etienne felt a feeling of heat. Once at an altitude of about 100 m the object took off at a lightning speed and disappeared in 2 or 3 seconds on the north-north-west horizon.

Description: (Translated from French) It was 10:45 pm when the dogs started barking violently. When they went outside, the people found themselves in front of a two-meter-long rectangle standing on the ground. It could have been likened to a door or a window. It was visible on a moonless night and was luminous with a matte white that suggested a “screen” to the witnesses. The dogs stayed about fifteen meters away from the thing, attacking it from time to time with their hair standing on end. One of the two men present approached up to 10 meters and addressed the apparition in these terms: “What do you want? Who are you? Come on! Let someone come out!” The other went to get his gun. When he came back, the thing was off, it no longer existed…

Event 32470 (B64AD8FF)

Date: 8/5/1970
Description: Around 4:30 a.m. between Plasencia and Bejar, Caceres, Spain a man was driving through a forest when he sighted a brightly lit, yard-wide sphere in the sky that stopped, descended vertically into a clearing in the forest, and then darkened. At 10:45 p.m. a UFO in Cazalla de la Sierra, Seville, Spain caused the furious barking of two dogs. What appeared before the four witnesses was a two-dimensional illuminated 2 m by 1 m rectangle, hovering in the sky only ten meters away, perpendicular to the ground, which blocked the view of the vegetation behind it. It vanished when a gun was pointed in its direction.

Date: 8/7/1970
End date: 8/12/1970
Location: Prescott, Arizona
Description: Evening. Contactee Paul Solem , who has managed to convince a number of Hopi Indian elders, among them Chief Dan Katchongva , that he is a true prophet heralding the coming of a True White Brother, publicly summons his space brother friends telepathically for 15 minutes in Prescott, Arizona, where UFOs have been reported over the previous few days. After Solem announces that “they’re here,” a “star” appears that had not been there before and Solem receives a message from space brother Paul 2, who tells him that the saucers are appearing because of a Hopi prophecy. Others see zigzagging lights in the sky over the next few nights, and Prescott Courier photographer Chuck Roberts takes a time-lapse photo of one.

Event 32479 (CACECB8D)

Date: 8/13/1970
Location: DENMARK, between Kabdrup and Fjelstrup
Description: (Translated from French) At 10:50 PM, Evald Hansen Maarup, a police officer, was returning to his home in Knud, in a police car. Between Kabdrup and Fjelstrup, as he was driving down a slight dip, the witness recounts: I was driving alone in the patrol car. Suddenly the car was plunged into a light of whitish-blue and at the same time the engine stopped. All the lights of the car went out, even the ignition light. I pulled over to the side and stopped. The dazzling external light, like neon, was so blinding that I couldn’t see anything. To protect myself from the light I covered my eyes with my arm and managed to find the radio by feeling around. When I had my hand on the microphone and tried to call the station, I noticed that the radio was just as dead as the rest of the electrical equipment on board. The temperature inside the car rose and became pleasantly warm. It was like driving in the sun in summer. After a while the light rose. It was a light in the shape of a cone, with a base of 4 to 5 m in diameter. As I looked up, leaning forward, I could see that the upper end of the luminous cone was at the base of a large gray thing. No sound came from this object. After a few seconds the light was drawn inside. It is difficult to explain how. The light did not go out but its inner surface rose in such a way that the space under the luminous cone was plunged into darkness. The light was pulled up in about five minutes. I got out of the car and saw how the last part of the cone of light disappeared inside the lower part of the thing, through a hole whose diameter was around a meter. When the light had disappeared inside the object it began to move. It disappeared in a few seconds, rising vertically into the air. It accelerated strongly, still without the slightest sound. As the object moved away all the lights of the car’s electrical system came back on.

Event 32488 (C2376AD2)

Date: 8/15/1970
Description: The witness, who was staying at his parents home that night, felt a strange compulsion to go out and drive to nearby Lake Michigan in order to watch the sky. He had arrived at the shore near Good Hart, Michigan at around 10:30 p.m. when a very bright light caught his eye. It seemed to have a descending trajectory, and he discounted any mundane explanation for what he saw. Watching through a telescope, he realized that the craft had orange, yellow, green and blue indigo lights. He could now see a large disc-shaped outline that glided lower towards his position. He saw a very brightly lit, large cartouche-shaped window. Inside he caught a glimpse of some figures who seemed to be peering over a console or instrument panel. The craft descended silently behind a rise about 100 yards from the witness. It hovered for a moment, then settled down on the beach.

For 15-20 minutes he saw no movement around the object, and so, curious, he walked towards it. The air around the UFO felt warm. He stopped about 50 feet from the huge object and heard a metallic sound. By the faint light available he saw a ramp come snaking out of the side of the ship toward him. The ramp sloped up to the blank hull. There was no opening visible, just a long ramp like a tongue sticking out from the side and burying itself in the sand just ahead of the witness. Without giving it much thought he walked up the ramp, and as he approached the hull seemed to dissolve ahead of him. He walked through an opening that appeared in his path. The interior of the ship resembled terra-cotta stone, and there was a soft illumination that emanated from the walls. It was comfortably cool inside and the air smelled of sage and cinnamon. He was in a corridor that stretched ahead of him in both directions until it disappeared beyond inside walls. Various small openings with little handles and knobs were situated at what appeared to be random locations along the corridor. He walked to his left down the corridor, the aroma of sage and cinnamon pervasive and persisting. He soon found a door and realized that the passage behind him was closing itself off into a door as well.

He walked into what appeared to be a central core of the object. Moments later he came upon an improbably placed viewing plate in which he could see the south end of Lake Michigan and lights from the nearby Big Rock Nuclear Power Plant. As he spoke to himself, his voice echoed strangely through the confines of the ship. He noticed to his right a view plate. He caught a glance through the darkened glass of several creatures that seemed to be at the controls. He looked inside the control room and saw five figures all with their backs to him. The figures were humanoid in form with large heads. They seemed to be occupied with a series of procedures. The five were all dressed in a similar style. The outfits were form-fitted, and tended to give off a bluish glow. The middle figure turned slowly to face him. The eyes of the humanoid were much larger than a human’s and spread farther around the sides of the head. No nose was visible, with flat cheekbones, lending a somewhat rotund appearance to the face .

At one point the witness saw himself in his own mind, apparently the way the creatures perceived him. The beings communicated via telepathy and he was escorted into another room where he was sat in a chair with knobs and controls in front of it. There he saw 3-D images flash through his mind at very high speed. At one point the aliens brought him a small cube-shaped container that contained a dark blue liquid, which he was told to drink. The aliens spoke among each other in a strange singsong language. He was told that, among other things, that the speed of light was “imaginary.” He received the impression that the craft was impossibly larger inside than what it looked like from the outside. The aliens told him that their main interest in coming to earth was water. He was eventually deposited back at the same spot on the beach where he was initially picked up.

Event 32489 (C1B195F2)

Date: 8/16/1970
Location: SPAIN, Puenta de Herrera (Valladolid)
Description: (Translated from French) The television film had just finished when an intense whistling sound was heard, the image blurred. It was impossible to restore it. As it was late, the witness turned off the receiver and went to the garden door to find the cause of the whistling. Astonished, she saw in the middle of the garage driveway a thing equipped with many lights, near which a man was standing looking at the lucerne field. She was so scared that she went back and locked herself in. After a moment she heard the same whistling again. Soon after, looking out the window, the thing had disappeared. The craft was about the size of a car: 4 m wide, 2.50 m high, of which 60 cm for the supports. An ellipsoid silver with a transparent hemispherical dome, at the top a white-bluish light that turned slowly. On the circumference of the object a gallery of small lights of various colors: white, violet, yellowish. The man was about 1.80 m tall, was dressed in a tight dark garment, his head tightly in a bonnet of the same color. Around the wrists, ankles and waist, he wore shiny bracelets. He looked at the field and suddenly walked quickly towards the UFO. At the place where the craft landed the ground shone: up close there were dark marks, like boot prints. These traces persisted for several days: during the day they were black, at night they shone slightly.

Description: Thirty minutes later, a 22-year-old woman in Puente De Herrera, Valladolid province, Spain heard a loud whistling sound accompanied by TV interference at one o’clock in the morning. Opening the door to her house she saw a silvery Saturn-shaped object standing on legs. On top was a transparent cupola bearing a bluish-white rotating light; and around its perimeter were other multi-colored lights. A few feet away stood a tall man dressed in a dark blue or black tight-fitting uniform. It had a close fitting hood of the same color with shining white wrist bands, anklets, and a buckle. The man was examining a nearby field of alfalfa. He then turned and took long strides toward the UFO, which was approximately 30 meters from the witness. She closed her door, frightened about being discovered, but heard the intense whistling sound again as the object took off. Footprints were found in the area, and for several nights the site where the UFO had landed glowed at night.

Event 32499 (20FCF506)

Date: 8/19/1970
Description: A ten year old student in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, Malaysia reported seeing about 25 landed small objects among the bushes just outside school grounds. From each of the objects emerged a three inch tall humanoid. As he approached the UFOs the school bell rang and he returned to class and did not see the objects depart. After school six school boys in the same village reported seeing a very small disc-shaped object, blue in color, land in some bushes near their school. Five little men described as merely three inches tall emerged from the object. One was dressed in a yellow suit and the other four wore blue uniforms. They were seen installing some type of aerial on a tree branch that apparently sent out signals. The boys became frightened and ran away.

Date: 8/19/1970
Description: On this same night Mr. And Mrs. Olaf Mohlinder were riding in a car near Narken, Sweden in a rainstorm with their friend, Assar Sandberg, who was driving. They saw in the headlights a little man on the roadway, no more than three feet tall, who raised both arms to cover his face as the car approached. There was a blinding flash and a sound like a gunshot. Sandberg slammed on the brakes. The little man was still there. They drove on by and had a brief glimpse of his apparel: he wore a grayish rain cape and a helmet like a western hat.

Event 32502 (99104C30)

Date: 8/20/1970
Description: At 6:30 a.m. several young boys in Bukit Mertajam, Penang province, Malaysia encountered a round blue object on the ground, and several three inch tall ugly humanoids stood around the object. One of the humanoids took out an object resembling a gun and shot one of the boys on his hand when the boy attempted to grab him. The boys ran to get their teachers but upon returning to the site the object and the creatures were gone. Later that same day the same young witness from the previous day encountered a small UFO on the ground near the school compound. Five three-inch tall humanoids emerged from the object. One of them, who appeared to be the leader, wore a yellow uniform and had two horn-like protrusions on his head. The other four wore blue uniforms. The leader pointed a weapon at the witness and shot at him. The witness blacked out and was found later lying in the bushes. He regained consciousness later, and a small red dot appeared on his leg where he had been shot by the creature. Two other boys in the same village went out looking for the reported small UFO and spotted two tiny men among some bushes. One was on a rock and the other on a tree branch. Both figures were dressed in yellow suits, and one had only one arm and appeared to be holding a small gun. The boys attempted to capture the entities but they got away. That evening the young son of a local high-ranking police official was returning from school when he saw two tiny figures hiding in the bushes near the school compound. As he tried to capture them he was shot in the hand and received a small cut.

Their headgear was conical and they were carrying a disc-like object over their heads. They stood about five feet tall.

The beings got to within 50 feet of a house and then turned and walked away, side-by-side, to a nearby railroad crossing. They stood there for a few minutes, then walked a short distance towards the witnesses. As the witnesses boarded a bus, one of the beings extended his arm upward. At this point they were able to see that the figure was wearing a cape.

Event 32513 (3DA0CEC7)

Date: 8/30/1970
Location: Brazil, Itatiala
Description: (Translated from French) This Sunday, Altamiro Martin de Freitas of the dam security was making his rounds in the rain. Around 9:30 PM he saw something floating in the air emitting multicolored lights. As he approached the object he noticed that all the lights belonged to a silent and motionless structure, shaped like an elongated shell or bus, floating one meter above the ground. There were 15 rectangular portholes, about one meter long and 80 cm wide, with rounded corners. The object must have measured 20 m long and 3 m high. He started to crawl and drew his 9.4 mm Taurus 38. He fired once at 12 m from the object, which started to blink faster. Aiming carefully, he fired a second time. The blinking rhythm became so fast that he could no longer distinguish the extinguishing. A higher-pitched sound than that of a jet engine was heard. He was about to fire a third time when the object emitted a light in the form of a very intense white-blue ray that blinded and completely paralyzed the witness. Taken to the Guanabara hospital, he gradually recovered his mobility, but he remained blind for more than ten days, although ophthalmologists could not detect any serious injury. The investigation revealed that at the place where Altamiro had seen the object, the ground was dry in the middle of a bog resulting from continuous rain. Moreover, a woman from the state of Minas Gerais experienced a similar adventure.

He described it as about a quarter of a mile away, looking like “a garbage can lid with a piece of watermelon on top” (more like a squared-off “coning tower”) and about 30 feet in diameter. The man believes that others should have seen it, too, because it was so low. He, his wife, and daughter observed it for a minute and a half before it left in a swooping dive to the north-northeast.

Event 32534 (0F2C26C2)

Date: 9/7/1970
Description: After an argument with her mother in Sao Joa da Boa Vista, Sao Paulo, Brazil 17-year-old Valeria was upset and drove away from her house with her brother. They parked the car in an isolated area at 7:30 p.m. to smoke cigarettes and relax. They soon heard a loud buzzing sound similar to those emitted by crickets. The sound rose in intensity until it became unbearable. At that moment Valeria’s mind seemed to go blank and she did not come to until 10:15 p.m. After the incident Valeria suffered from strange dreams of lights.

During a hypnotic regression session she remembered being in the car and hearing the loud humming sound. Moments later she found herself inside a room illuminated by an orange light. The room was very cold and she felt a tingling sensation on her hands. She was lying on top of a “bed” and she could not move her head. At first she could only see what appeared to be luminous spheres floating around her. Suddenly she felt someone holding down her hands. A figure then stood in front of her. She described the figure as short, with a large hairless head and dark eyes. Soon a sort of cable with what appeared to be a needle on its tip was introduced into her nose. The needle emitted a greenish liquid. A small implant was also apparently inserted between her eyes. Moments later a small cut was made on one of her big toes, but she did not bleed or felt any pain. A voice in her head told her that she was being implanted in order to facilitate future contacts. Soon one of the short humanoids approached her and took her on an “astral” journey. Both traveled through the solar system, around Saturn and the Sun and even inside the earth’s interior. Soon awoke back in the car.

Description: (Translated from French) In the night, a RAF Lightning fighter jet, piloted by Captain William Schaffner, takes off from the British base in Binbrook to intercept conical UFOs detected by radar. Captain Schaffner communicates to the base that he has just discovered among these conical objects a kind of large glass football. At the moment of interception, the radar operators see on their screen the UFOs and the plane become one, then separate. A few moments later, the Lightning crashes into the North Sea. (September 8)

Event 32559 (A89A3F60)

Date: 9/25/1970
Description: In Jessup, Pennsylvania a 16-year-old boy was returning home from a high school football game at ten o’clock at night when, three blocks from his home, he sighted a disc-shaped UFO. It was silver-aluminum in color and approximately 1,000 feet in length. It had a turret on top surrounded by a row of windows. The underside had three large spheres, with a central flat disk. It was glowing white. The sky was clear and the object moved silently across the night sky in an easterly direction. While deciding whether to report this incident or not, the witness was peering out his kitchen window and sighted a large black limousine. He could see it quite clearly because there was a street lamp directly across the street from his house. Four occupants were in the vehicle. Two were seated in the front, and two in the back. Each had on dark suits and hats similar to those worn in the 1940’s. They sat in their vehicle, motionless. They returned for the next several evenings. There was no verbal or physical contact with the strangers.

Event 32571 (5D9DB45A)

Date: 10/5/1970
Location: Canada, Quebec
Description: (Translated from French) Lellier Case. Ms. Gabriel Lellier (59 years old) from Latourelle Street was the victim on October 5, 1970, of numerous physical discomforts, caused by a very bright object and a kind of vapor that she had seen from her apartment around 4:30 in the morning. She had gotten up because she could no longer sleep, as often happens to her. She headed to her living room to sit down; suddenly she saw bright orange beams entering her living room through the window that faced the house across the street and Laruelle Street. She rushed to the window and, looking up to the sky, she saw a very bright orange disc. She then realized that her gaze was fixed on the object, that she could not move, her body was completely paralyzed. After 30 seconds the object descended to almost the top of the house across the street. It had tripled in size. It was now surrounded by a very bright white halo that lit up the entire sky. In the center of the red ball, Ms. Lellier could make out a black object spinning quickly, giving her the impression that it was a camera. Thirty seconds later she saw the object rise up at a dizzying speed. Its ascent was accompanied by a long luminous trail. Ms. Lellier could now move and she headed to the door that opened onto the gallery, opened it, put her foot outside and suddenly saw a series of two or three small white clouds, floating in a kind of thick fog that was only in the back yard. Without wanting to, she entered the first cloud and immediately felt her throat seized. A horrible gas smell had taken her and in one go she felt suffocated. Feeling faint, she ran back into the house and collapsed onto her bed, losing consciousness. An hour and five minutes later she woke up and her eyes hurt terribly. Looking in the mirror she saw that her hair had turned yellow and she had the deep feeling of giving off electricity. (…) Health problems for weeks…

Horses were frightened by the presence of the UFO. At 9:00 a.m. a 59-year-old woman in saw a luminous orange object descend very low over some houses in Montreal, Quebec. She described the object as a very luminous orange circle surrounded by a sparkling white halo. Inside the circle she saw a small black object pivoting upon itself. During this time she realized that she was paralyzed and couldn’t move. After a minute the object ascended rapidly into the sky, leaving a long trail behind it. She wanted to get some air and stepped out onto her balcony. She confronted a very heavy mist and a strong odor, which had a choking effect upon her. She went back inside, fainted, came to 10-15 minutes later with her eyes burning, her head feeling hot and heavy, and quite stunned. She felt electrical jolts in her body, and her hair had turned yellow in color. Her diabetes also manifested itself in an alarming fashion. UFO report involving physiological effects occurred in Quebec City, Quebec. At 9:00 p.m. that night in Saint-Romuald, Quebec two witnesses saw a elongated, luminous flying object. Their car radio had heavy static during the sighting.

Event 32581 (16EF240C)

Date: 10/7/1970
Description: (Translated from French) Charged with recovering the wreckage of the Lightning crashed on September 8th, the HMS Kiddleston of the Royal Navy is conducting searches, but it is impossible to find the body of Captain Schaffner. The wreckage is stored at the Binbrook base and not shipped to Farnborough where the expertise is usually done. Dispatched on site, the official investigators are surprised to have only limited access to the wreckage and to be watched by 5 civilians, including 2 Americans. They note that the cockpit and ejection seat are intact, but that in violation of regulations, most of the on-board instruments have been removed. A few hours later, they are asked to end their investigation. Summoned by their superiors upon their return to Farnborough, they are ordered to remain silent on the matter in the name of national security. As for the fighter wreckage, it is shipped to Wright-Patterson (Ohio). (October 7th)

Description: (Translated from French) At 4:00 PM, Pedro Machado and his son Euripide were grooming a cow separated from the herd with its calf. The cow was tied up not far from the paddock and the one-month-old calf was free at 5 m from its mother. The herd began to stir and moo, as well as the separated cow, which was looking at its calf with insistence. The calf also began to bellow. Astonished, the farmers saw the calf being carried in the air at 1 m from the ground, horizontally, towards the meadow, until a point at 20 m from its starting point, while they themselves felt paralyzed, unable to make a move. Suddenly, the calf, which was now silent, made a vertical ascent that lasted from 3 to 4 minutes, and suddenly disappeared from their sight in a cloud. (October 25-27, 1970)

Location: 2 miles east of Helleland, Rogaland, Norway
Description: 5:40 p.m. Reidar Salvesen is driving about 2 miles east of Helleland, Rogaland, Norway, when a dazzling light forces him to stop the car. He looks up and sees a globe about 60 feet in diameter approaching noiselessly. It stops about 18 feet in front of the car and hovers for 50 seconds about 30 feet up. Suddenly the object shoots straight up into the air, causing Salvesen to fall on the pavement. He hears a sharp crack caused by his front windshield shattering. About 3,200 feet in the air the globe changes to a fireball, which quickly disappears. After sweeping up the shards of windowpane glass, he drives on, but feels a numbness in his tongue a few minutes later. He also has an abrasion on his hand from falling down, but the skin sloughs off as if burned, and he has a redness around his eyes when he returns home. His travel clock starts keeping time badly.

Description: The UFO Subcommittee of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics publishes a formal statement in its journal Aeronautics and Astronautics. It recommends “a continuing, moderate-level effort with emphasis on improved data collection by objective means and on high-quality scientific analysis” as the “only promising approach” to solving the UFO problem, and sharply criticizes the Colorado project’s conclusion that studying the subject will not add to scientific knowledge.

Event 32611 (89D3F1B3)

Date: 11/1/1970
Locations: Trans-Canada Highway; Pense, Saskatchewan; Moose Jaw
Description: 10:30 p.m. Stewart Wilkinson and his wife are driving on the Trans-Canada Highway just west of Pense, Saskatchewan, when they see an disc-shaped object with a beam of light extending down to the road. It follows his car about 20 feet to the right at an altitude of 10–15 feet. At one point it moves ahead and hovers above a truck parked a half-mile away. When he comes alongside the truck, the object moves to the left side of his car about 30 feet away and almost on the ground. Wilkinson slows down and comes to a stop, and the object follows suit, hovering for another 10–15 seconds before disappearing into the lights of Moose Jaw to the west. It has followed his car for 12 minutes and 10 miles.

Description: 9:00 p.m. Albert Formiller is fishing for bass in Cholla Bay, Sonora, Mexico, when he sees a light in the sky coming from a saucer-shaped object, which stops and hovers about 200–300 feet above the surface. A light from a tube on the bottom illuminates a broad stretch of water about one half-mile wide. It changes from a broad floodlight to a sharp spot on the surface, apparently as it is raised or lowered. After a few minutes, a cloud forms around the object. After 5 minutes, the searchlight is turned off and a similar light appears on top of the UFO, illuminating the upper part of the cloud. The object then moves west and is visible for 20 minutes in all.

Description: At seven o’clock in the evening a compact “cloud” UFO emitting rays from the top was seen by hundreds in Belo Horizonte, Brazil during a time when part of the city experienced a power outage. At the same time Moyses Santos, a resident of the city, found himself surrounded by half a dozen three-foot tall beings in his room “who went around touching and upsetting everything.” They floated about in the air, and had a translucent quality. They “looked like ice.” When they got near a table lamp, they “lit up in many lights.” One of them handed Santos a piece of paper on which he drew a flying saucer, without knowing why. The being then took the paper back. Finally they disappeared by passing through the walls. He went outside in time to see the UFO above the city, flooding the area with brilliant light. Other sightings occurred about the same time in several Brazilian cities.

Description: 6:30 p.m. A 17-year-old student at Oizumi High School is riding his bicycle home at Tatebayasi, Gunma Prefecture, Japan, when he sees 5–6 objects flying in formation on a straight path from northeast to southwest. Seconds later, a solitary object appears to the north and approaches swiftly. The student parks his bicycle and runs up some steps to a raised enclosure for a better view. The single UFO changes course and circles several times, descending slowly. It then hovers, climbs, and disappears. The student gets back on his bike and sees a bright flash of white light to the southeast, which startles him and he pedals home quickly. The student returns the next day to the enclosure, which is actually a raised tombstone. He finds four circular patches of flattened grass.

Description: After finding huge mysterious footprints on their property in Vader, Washington three days before, a family watched a very bright object approach their house at 7:15 a.m. It seemed to have a central dome with a revolving ring around it and was deep orange in the center. The craft tilted slightly to one side, hovered briefly over some nearby power lines, then brightened while making a low sweep over the area. Two of the witnesses saw what appeared to be a gray colored “shape” drop from the object and scurry away into the woods before the UFO departed. Later that week a mysterious dark “prowler” was seen peering through windows.

Event 32670 (23247618)

Date: 12/24/1970
Description: Two independent sets of photographs showing luminous balls of light in motion were taken on this night in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Three teenagers–Larsh, Neal, and Sellars–took a photograph of two lights in parallel motion at 10:00 p.m. They had had sightings of similar phenomena earlier in the week and were prepared to take a time exposure on this night. They made their photograph using a Pentax camera on a tripod. The two lights were also seen by another resident, Hjalmar Bowlby, earlier that same evening. Remarkably, they weren’t the only ones who were able to catch an image of a UFO using a camera that night. At 10:35 p.m. Jerry Mozer, also of Alamogordo, New Mexico took a photo of a luminous point in motion, making an abrupt change of course resulting in a “buttonhook” effect on the image. Both photographs are reproduced below.

Location: USA, Laguna Beach, California
Description: (Translated from French) Fred Bell, who worked for NASA under Werner von Braun, who is a scientist, inventor, artist and mystic practicing alternative medicine, made a trip to India and the Himalayas. In 1971 he received his first sign from the extraterrestrial Semjase (note from vog: the one Billy Meier allegedly meets 4 years later…). The telepathic image takes shape under his pencil: he draws it very beautifully with long blond hair. In 1980 she will tell him that she comes from the planet Erra (note from vog: Billy Meier brings other entities from this planet…) whose configuration resembles the green valleys of the Swiss Alps. Semjase will be his inspiration for music and other inventions (note from vog: which he hastens to commercialize, of course) (…)

Event 32685 (3032F24B)

Date: 1/1971
Description: Author Preston Nichols claims he begins working for AIL-Eaton, a defense contractor on Long Island. He claims he begins working on a series of exotic
projects at Camp Hero in Montauk, NY, which allegedly did some experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Note: Brookhaven is linked to claims of a UAP crash on 24 November 1992 with little corroborating information. A MUFON report at the time suggested a video showed a large fire of an unknown object, large parts being driven away on flatbeds, special access by Brookhaven personnel, county police turned away by men in black jumpsuits and multiple eyewitness testimony of lights flying erratically over the crash site.

Event 32686 (88641330)

Date: 1/1971
Description: Alleged AIL-Eaton contractor Preston Nichols claims experiments in consciousness manifestation began at Camp Hero, culminating with the “Montauk Chair,” which could change thought into reality. Nichols claims Project Phoenix III worked on time travel aspects of consciousness manifestation, and teleportation to other locations began in 1982. Nichols claims Project Rainbow began in 1983 and accidentally manifested an entity that destroyed some of the base and its personnel, thereby ending psychic operations at Camp Hero.

https://www.de173.com/the-montauk-project/

Note: Nichols made these allegations in a book in 1992 with no independent sourcing. Over the next decade, Duncan Cameron, Steward Swerdlow and Al Bielek claimed to have been participants in Montauk activities too, though none provided any proof. Somewhat dubiously, all claim to have “remembered” what happened at the facility after they began communicating.

Later, Bielek began to claim he and Cameron served in the Philadelphia Experiment (see April 1956) and that he time traveled to the 1980s to work on the Montauk programs. Bielek changed his story several times and there is no proof he was ever in the US Navy as he claims.

Uri Geller does “corroborate” the existence of a Project Phoenix at the facility.

Description: 6:15 a.m. Maun and Matta Talana are drinking coffee when they see a brilliant light approaching from the lake outside their home at Saapunki, Kuusano, Finland. It is about 33 feet in diameter and moving against the wind. Their electricity goes off briefly. Looking out the window, the Talalas see their whole yard bathed in light caused by a huge fireball about 60 feet away, which rises up and disappears after a few seconds. Around 8:30 a.m., their son Timo asks them what the marks are in the snow outside. He has noticed a spot of hard green ice that is not covered with snow. Mauno takes some green ice and melts it into dark green water. The melted area is about 20 feet long by 10 feet wide, in the middle of which are ice needles as big as fingers with a ball of ice on top and some soot. The following day, he tells the newspaper, which sends a photographer to the site. UFO researchers from Oulu arrive on January 6 and take samples from the melted area and measure radiation.

Description: (Translated from French) Richard Williams said he observed an object 25 to 30 feet in shape of a diamond, equipped with white lights and two exhaust nozzles. The object initially looked like a bat, with wings wider than those of an airplane. In the middle of each wing it seemed there was a missile or a nozzle. The object had red and white lights on the wings and tail. (note of vog: did it perhaps look like a Convair Delta trainer?.. or another plane of the same kind?) The object hovered first at about 100 feet from the ground before catapulting upwards. He thought he could make out a creature inside the object. In the back of the cockpit there was a blinking light. The sheriff’s office of Huron County received 18 reports concerning this object

Event 32736 (9458F87C)

Date: 2/2/1971
Description: Two women, Mrs. Sinikka Kuittinen and Mrs. Manninen were driving from Kuusamo, Finland towards Oulu at 8 p.m. when in the town of Kiiminki they observed a light behind the car on the right hand side of the road. After some time the light passed over to the left side of the road, during which the ears of Mrs. Kuittinen plugged up. When they came to a field the light disappeared. Suddenly Mrs. Kuittinen, who was driving, saw a one meter tall creature with a helmet on its head. It was clad in a brown-green coverall suit and crossed the road using small jumps, disappearing on the other side of the road. There were no houses or other buildings in the area. The women were very scared and did not stop to investigate if it had left tracks, but drove straight to Oulu.

Event 32741 (DFA3CA14)

Date: 2/5/1971
Locations: Kangaskylä; Kinnula; Finland
Description: 3:00 p.m. Petter Aliranta and Esko Juhani Sneck are working in the woods around Kangaskylä, near Kinnula, Finland, when they see a 15-foot object descend to a clearing 50 feet away. As it lands, a small entity just under 3 feet tall glides to the ground from an opening on the underside. Through 3 windows on the UFO, three more entities can be seen. The entity approaches Aliranta, who turns on his chain saw. Suddenly, the being turns around and heads back to the UFO. As the humanoid is rising back up into the air, Aliranta grabs it by the heel of its boot with his bare hand. It burns him like a hot iron, and he has to let go. The burns are clearly visible 2 months later. The humanoid gets back inside, and the UFO takes off with a hum. Before the two men go back, they look at markings in the snow. At the end of each landing foot there had ben a round plate. These plates have penetrated the full depth of the snow (1.3 feet), leaving four round prints forming an even square 6.5 feet on each side. Circular footprints left by the entity are clearly visible, about 6 inches wide. Possible hoax.

Event 32742 (3338FAFE)

Date: 2/5/1971
Description: On this afternoon two young men, P. Aliranta and E. J. Sneck, were working in the woods in Kangaskyla, Kinnula, Finland when Mr. Aliranta noticed a 15 foot wide metallic saucer-shaped object descend and land on four thin legs in a clearing 50 feet away. After it landed a short entity just under 3 feet tall glided to the ground from an opening in the underside. It was dressed in a green one-piece “diver’s suit” and wore a helmet with a circular faceplate. It approached the young men, walking on top of the deep snow, and Aliranta moved toward it with his power chain saw in hand. Through three windows in the upper part of the object three more entities could be seen. The humanoid retreated from Aliranta and was levitating into the object from underneath when the young man grabbed it by the heel of its boot with his bare hand. He found that touching it burned like a hot iron and he had to let go at once. As soon as the being was back inside the object it ascended with a slight buzzing or humming sound. Both men felt stiff all over and had difficulty moving. Four landing leg marks and small footprints were left behind in the snow.

He stepped out on his front porch for a better look and was terrified to see a wolf-like man attempting to scoop up puddles of water from the bottom of the fish pond, crouched on its hands and knees. The sight was so shocking that Dickson suffered a heart attack and had to be rushed to Comanche County Memorial Hospital. In a report to the police Dickson described the creature as tall, with a lot of hair all over its face and body. It was dressed in an indescribable manner. Others saw the same or similar creature that same night.

Description: (Translated from French) Indeed, it took a year before a second satellite was placed in orbit, but it is true that in the meantime Chinese specialists had recorded a third failure. The “China 2” was launched in the greatest discretion in March 1971, since it was the American surveillance services who announced the news. The Chinese confirmation arrived only two weeks later.

Description: (Translated from French) Sun Trha Wong and five other soldiers on a routine patrol to check the state of the wells on the track to Erhlieh saw a huge luminous ball the size of a two-storey Western house, resting in a kind of rock-strewn circus from which one of the springs emerged. They hid to observe the phenomenon. After about ten minutes the luminosity of the sphere began to decrease slowly: they could not determine whether the ball was made of metal or plastic, it had no openings. Yet soon they saw three beings bustling around it with strange devices in their hands. They seemed to be looking for something and frequently looked in all directions. They were much taller than average and wore some kind of helmets. After a while they re-entered the sphere just as mysteriously and it took off and went north.

Event 32777 (E281FE3E)

Date: 3/5/1971
Location: FRANCE, between Trénal and Condamine (Jura)
Description: (Translated from French) M. Camus de Gevingey had a second store in Savigny: he made frequent trips between the two. That night he was returning around 01:10 and had just passed the small village of Trénal. A bright light in the distance caught his attention: it was not on the road, but more to the right. He continued to drive and quickly approached the place where this light source was located. He then saw that the lights were regularly arranged on the ground, on a line parallel to the woods. They were blue-tinted rectangles like fluorescent lights: he counted eight, the large side parallel to the ground. Then he almost simultaneously saw a kind of dull metal dome, about 8 m high and 15 m wide. Continuing to drive, a surprise awaited him: three beings were there, seeming to be waiting for him. He will qualify them as animals, so strange was their appearance. They were on all fours, climbing the embankment. Fear seized him. Especially when he saw about twenty of these beings in the meadow: some standing, others on all fours as if they were looking for something. The three near the tree were brownish, almost black, as if tanned. Their head had the aspect of an ant’s, a rounded lobe framed by two other lobes swelling like cheeks. The car passed very quickly in front of them, they did not make any movement. Hardly had he passed them when a light filled his car: looking in the rearview mirror he had the impression that he was being shot at point-blank range. From that moment his fear disappeared. He had time to notice that the beings in the meadow were smaller and that they had their arms on the ground. Another feeling overwhelmed him: since he was hit by the beam, he was no longer aware of what he was doing. He had the impression that his car was driving alone, and it slowed down from 100 km/h to 20 km/h although it remained in 4th gear. He did notice that it was slowing down, but it did not affect him. A few moments later he noticed that the car’s hood had become fluorescent, but this anomaly quickly disappeared. The car was only driving at 20 km/h and incredibly, it regained its regime on its own, without his conscious intervention. He did not stop, continued his journey at 50/60 km/h until Condamine completely disoriented. He only regained his senses in this village and continued to his home in Savigny. When undressing he was surprised to see traces of rectangles from 4 to 6 cm on 2 to 3 cm on the shirt, up to the belt. They were distributed on the left side; there were 7 or 8 of them. They were golden yellow, phosphorescent. Very fleeting they only lasted 5 to 6 minutes after he had taken it off. Three days later, brown rectangles appeared in the same places. It took three or four machine washes before they disappeared. The paint of the car was altered to the point that when washing it left green traces on the cloth. Pleasant consequence: for years M. Camus had suffered from headaches due to a liver disease: 6 months after this encounter he still has not felt any pain either in the liver or in the head.

Event 32779 (11E66103)

Date: 3/5/1971
Description: Gilbert Camus, a radio technician, was driving to his shop in Savigny, Jura department, France at 1:10 a.m. He was between Trenal and Condamine when he noticed lights ahead on the right side of the road. As he approached, he saw that these were on a line of eight bluish luminescent rectangles on the ground in a marshy meadow beside the road. Above them he could distinguish, in the moonlight, a flattened hemispherical dome, apparently of dark metal, about 25 feet high and 50 feet wide.

When he got closer to the object he saw three “animals” on all fours climbing up the road bank. Their heads were level with his windshield so they “must have been of great stature.” Their heads were shaped like an ant’s with “a rounded lobe flanked by two other lobes swelling out like cheeks.” He saw no faces. In the meadow he could see about 20 more of these beings, some upright and others on all fours. His car had just passed them when it filled with a bluish white light from behind, as if a “ray” had been projected at him. He lost control of the car, which spontaneously slowed down to about 12 mph, then recovered its initial speed when he reached the outskirts of Condamine. Later, when he took off his clothes he found on his shirt, below the belt line, several golden yellow rectangles about 1" by 2". These disappeared after a few minutes. Three days later similar chocolate brown rectangular marks appeared on his undershirt, and these persisted through 3 or 4 washings.

The paint began to come off his car when he washed it. Most surprisingly, he found himself cured of a liver ailment, which until then had been giving him excruciating headaches. A semi-elliptical imprint was found in the meadow the next day about an inch deep, with a long axis of about 36 feet. Inside the circle dandelions, abundant elsewhere in the meadow were absent, and where it crossed a drainage ditch the ice in the ditch had melted, and the water still seemed warm. At the edge of the woods beside the ground marks a large tree branch was freshly broken off. In the snow were footprints like those of “shoes without heels”, some as big as 16" long.

Event 32782 (3D1A62A5)

Date: 3/14/1971
Description: Two young men, Brian Scott and Nick Corbin, were in the Superstition Mountains, near Apache Junction, Arizona to gather snakes. During that night, at 9:06 p.m., they saw a light coming towards them over the mountains. As it approached they had a missing time memory loss, and their next recollection was that they were hastily leaving the campsite two hours later.

During a hypnosis session five years later Scott described how the object approached and hovered over them. It was emitting a purplish light from underneath, and he felt a “pulsating, pulling feeling” as the two men were lifted up into the craft. They were separated once they were inside, and Scott was led by a 7 foot tall entity down a corridor to a door which “shattered” when they entered through it. On the other side was a small room filled with mist, where he encountered 4 or 5 similar beings, 7 foot tall and with grayish skin similar to that of a crocodile, and with 3 fingered hands. The room was cold and the mist emanated from vents in the floor.

Scott was stripped and placed against a very brightly lit wall panel. A machine directly in front of him appeared to “scan” him, and a new 9-foot-tall entity communicated with him telepathically and asked why he was afraid. His mind was briefly transported to some other worldly environment, presumably the being’s home planet. The beings that examined him had huge ears, no hair, and slit-like mouths. Their feet were elephant like, with three broad toes. When the examination was completed, Scott was reunited with his friend and they were both returned to the ground with no conscious memory of what had taken place. However, they both felt an unspecified terror to such a degree that they immediately packed their gear and returned to town.

Description: At 12:30 a.m. six soldiers stationed at a radar base at Monte Pani, Cabo De Creus, Spain were alerted by another soldier to a fiery red, disc-shaped craft moving slowly over the area. The guard dogs began howling, and the men all watched as the UFO suddenly shot away at high speed. Moments later one of the soldiers screamed in pain from a sudden bright flash that seemed to come from the ocean nearby. Meanwhile one of the soldiers released one of the guard dogs, a wolfhound with a fierce disposition, that was going crazy inside his cage. The dog ran immediately towards some nearby buildings and was followed closely by two of the men. The dog slowed down and began to grow menacingly, and one of the men felt heavy static in the air and his tongue began to itch. Both men then heard a loud noise coming from some nearby bushes. They saw a huge bulky figure that seemed to move clumsily among the brush. The men yelled at the figure to stop but it changed directions and began moving away quickly. Seconds later the men heard another noise and felt something heavy moving towards them. They fired their weapons in the direction of the noise and everything became silent. A search of the area the next day proved fruitless.

Event 32802 (A47EAE4F)

Date: 4/2/1971
Description: In 1971, a middle-aged man in Greenhill, New South Wales, Australia was standing in his kitchen at around 10 p.m. when he noticed a small entity standing outside. The man, an Australian aborigine, next felt a sucking force that pulled him outside, smashing him through a glass window that had an iron bar across it with a clearance of less than a foot. His wife, hearing the pane of glass breaking, entered the kitchen in time to see her 5’ 2" husband disappearing horizontally through the lower pane, which was 4.5 feet from the floor. To jump through it would have been impossible, as it was only 32 inches wide and only 10 inches in height, and fronted upon the kitchen sink. The distance to the ground outside was seven feet. The man was terrified, yet he could not run from the strange being out of fear. Instead, he went towards it. He was discovered on the ground by a relative, cut and bruised, seven feet away from the smashed glass. This strange occurrence took place only hours after a number of people in nearby Kempsey had observed a strange bright light in the sky.

The field lights formed a king of “ceiling” over the field and is unlikely that had they looked up, the players could have seen anything. The object was “football shaped,” the interior light being “the brightest blue imaginable.” The top portion of the UFO was transparent and the bottom was a greenish metallic “like gun metal” color with three large transparent portholes. The object was tilted downward at an angle revealing three tall humanoid figures, over six feet tall, in the transparent upper half of the UFO. One of the occupants pointed down at the witness and then turned toward a rectangular, lighted area. Mrs F. asked the cabbie, a Greek immigrant, to stop the taxi, but he accelerated away and drove them straight to her home without stopping. He left in a frightened state without collecting his fare.

Locations: Holloman Air Force Base; Alamogordo, New Mexico
Description: 6:00 a.m. A 16-mm film is allegedly taken of retrieved UFOs at Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo, New Mexico. It supposedly shows “three disc-shaped craft,” one of which lands and the other two fly away. A door opens on the landed vehicle and three human-sized beings emerge with an odd, gray complexion and pronounced noses. They wear tight-fitting jump suits and thin headdresses that appear to be communication devices. In their hands they hold a “translator.” A Holloman base commander and other Air Force officials go out to meet them.

Event 32848 (D41B0AA2)

Date: 5/14/1971
Location: Canada, near Gleichen (Ontario)
Description: (Translated from French) Wilton Eater and his wife Rosalin were driving home after visiting friends in town. As they were approaching a hill, they saw a very bright light burst out to their right, which disappeared after a few seconds. Suddenly Mrs. Eater felt the car lift off the road, and to her great surprise, it floated in the air without leaving the right side of the road. Meanwhile, her husband tried in vain to steer the vehicle, with the headlights still on. A quarter of a mile further, the two astonished witnesses heard the sound of tires touching the road. (Allan 1971) (A. SCHNEIDER-H. MALTHANER: “Le dossier secret des OVNI”, ed. De Vecchi, 1978, p 35, 36) At night, Mr. and Mrs. Raw Eater were driving at 70 km/h. Suddenly a flash of light hit their car. The car floated about 60 cm off the ground, the speedometer stayed stuck at 70 km/h and despite the bad condition of the road there were no more bumps. This continued for a distance of about 400 m. When the strange light went away, the car regained contact with the ground. (May 14, 1971)

Date: 5/15/1971
Description: Fifteen-year-old Michael D. of Passapatanzy, West Virginia was on his way home with his dog after camping out the previous day with two other boys. He was crossing a grassy field at 10:00 p.m. when he saw a bright object slowly approach at a low altitude, passing over some high-tension wires that crossed the field. He crouched down in some tall grass as the object landed with a bounce, about 100 feet away. The silvery UFO was higher than it was wide and had a “walkway” that ran around its circumference. It had red and white revolving lights on top and made a humming noise. A door “came down” out of which emerged a “huge” figure who was hunched over and walked in a “stiff legged, bouncing” fashion. The humanoid being had long arms and wore shiny, light reflecting clothing. In one hand it held a glowing box. The humanoid giant appeared to be approaching the tall grassy area where Michael was hiding, so the teenage ordered his dog to attack the figure. The being then turned and re-boarded the craft, and within a couple of minutes it took off. His companions from the camping expedition came and found Michael a short time later still in the grass, moaning and very frightened. The next day seven holes where found in the ground at the site. They were 2.5 inches wide at the top and a foot deep into the soil. Two days later, Michael and several other family members saw a bright disc-shaped object, which had been pursuing his sisters as they drove in a car up the long driveway to their house.

The craft was disc shaped with a dome on top and an antenna like protrusion. It had a door like opening to the left of its center; the opening emitted an reddish orange glow from inside. It also emitted a faint humming sound. He stopped his car to watch, and after two minutes he saw a figure walk back and forth within the doorway of the object. The humanoid being was dressed in a grayish white metallic suit with a hood and stood about six feet tall. The craft itself was dull gray in color and appeared to have burnt areas along the bottom. The witness, sitting behind the wheel of his vehicle, turned his head to his left and saw a similarly garbed figure only three feet way from the driver’s door. He then heard a click and two seconds later a blast threw him against the vehicle’s console. A loud explosion moved the car forward and the witness drove away as fast as he could. He then drove to the emergency room of a local hospital where he was treated with what looked like pellet wounds.

Location: first-floor dental office of Walter Griehl on the Avenida Pedro Molina in Mendoza, Argentina
Description: 12:10 p.m. Retired artist Julio Suárez Marzal is in the first-floor dental office of Walter Griehl on the Avenida Pedro Molina in Mendoza, Argentina, when they see a flattened, Saturn-shaped object about a half-mile away to the south. Griehl goes to retrieve some binoculars and misses most of the sighting. It is an incandescent dark orange in color and moving from east to west. It begins floating down with a rocking movement and approaches to within 230 feet. Suárez Marzal sees that it is revolving because of a small circular mark on its rim. A dense cloud issues from the object and surrounds it, turning it pearly gray with a faintly bluish sheen. As it gets closer, the circular mark seems to extend like a bronze-colored cylinder and has a handle-like protuberance on top. At one point it moves away to the northeast and disappears for 4 seconds but reappears even closer, only 130 feet away. It remains stationary for 10 seconds, and the cylinder seems deliberately pointed toward the short-wave antenna on the nearby central post office. He estimates it is 18–20 feet in diameter. It continues rocking and changes shape from a globe to a hat to an oval. Then after being visible for 90 seconds it takes off suddenly to the south, leaving a trail of vapor.

Event 32885 (8D1FBB15)

Date: 5/30/1971
Location: FRANCE, Dannes
Description: (Translated from French) Mrs. Pierrette Debofle was cutting grass for rabbits in her garden at 2:05 PM. Looking up, she saw in the direction of the chalk quarry, whose summit was 178 meters high, a dark mass in the shape of a saucer with a dome, the size of a bulldozer, suspended close to the ground. She continued her work while keeping an eye on the unusual and motionless object. After a long time, a small being, with an abnormally large head, seemed to float rather than walk around the object. He moved around the object, bent down as if to pick something up, passed under the object where he disappeared inside as if sucked in. Immediately the craft took off without a sound (800m from the witness) like an arrow towards the hill and disappeared into the clouds.

Event 32893 (17C329E0)

Date: 6/1971
Location: USA
Description: (Translated from French) The first “Big Bird” (formerly Super Samos) was put into orbit. These devices orbit at very low altitude, almost skimming the surface of the Earth on a scale of our planet. Initially launched at 170 km altitude, they then descend to 130 km and sometimes even less. This low altitude poses a problem due to atmospheric drag, multiplied by ten when descending from 170 to 130 km. (…) The big birds (officially “LASP”) are enormous cylinders of 12 tons, equipped with an Agena rocket engine which regularly raises the altitude of the satellite above the fatal 130 km. (June 1971)

Location: Caribbean Sea
Description: 8:30 p.m. The aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy is completing an Operational Readiness Exercise in the Caribbean Sea when an incident occurs following an 18-hour period simulating General Quarters. Yeoman Third Class James M. Kopf is in the Communications Center monitoring messages on various teletypes. Suddenly all the messages begin coming in garbled and he hears that all ship communications are out, including the radar, compasses, and electrical systems. A signalman from the deck tells them over the intercom that something is hovering above the ship. Kopf and others rush topside and see a huge, pulsating, orangish sphere stationed silently above the ship at a 60°–70° angle. The object remains about 20 minutes, but Kopf sees it only one minute before General Quarters sounds and he needs to return to his battle stations. The two F-4 Phantom jets on high readiness alert cannot take off. Soon the messaging returns to normal and the crew stands down after 2 hours. Kopf thinks only about 18 men witnessed the object out of the 5,000 on the carrier, because everyone is exhausted from the exercise. He hears that commanding officer Capt. Ferdinand B. Koch is frustrated by the event, but two days later Koch reminds the crew that certain events are to be considered classified.

Date: 6/7/1971 (approximate)
Location: CANADA, Rosedale (Alberta)
Description: (Translated from French) Esther and Bill Clapisson, brother and sister, lived in a small house in the outskirts of Rosedale. On the night of June 7th Esther noticed a light approaching under the full moon. She went out onto the porch of the house with the dog. She saw an illuminated, rectangular-shaped object descending towards the ground near the intersection of two roads, 60 m from the house. The side of the craft facing her seemed to be occupied across its entire width by a control panel, but one of the men was hiding it with his back and outstretched arm. He made a sign to the other one inside, slightly leaning out to the right of the entrance, as if he wanted to attract the attention of a third one 6 m away on the road, collecting rock samples. She wanted to go and take a closer look, but the dog, in a state of panic, was pulling her back. She went inside to call her brother and when she came out again there was nothing, not even a light. The next day she found a 6 m long rectangular trace of burned grass at the edge of the road at the landing site. Four months later this imprint was still perfectly clear. (1971, June 7 (or 9?))

Event 32910 (393FC881)

Date: 6/9/1971
Description: At 8:50 p.m. Miss Esther Clappison or Rosedale, Alberta noticed a light outside her home and went to the window. She saw what looked like a rectangular window that she judged was about 200 feet away, illuminated from within by a white light. It was on a darkened object whose shaped she could not make out, but she believed was resting on the ground. In the window was a man less that five feet tall dressed in olive green coveralls. The outfit completely covered him, even his face. He seemed to be aware of the witness and he used his body and arm to conceal some sort of instrument panel. He seemed to be trying to attract the attention of another humanoid figure outside the object, visible in the light from the window, who was stooped over and picking up rocks from the ground. She wanted to get closer to get a better look, but her dog would not let her. Trembling and cowering, the dog forced his mistress back inside the house. After the object left the grass at the landing site was charred black over an area 20 feet in diameter.

Location: CHINA, Dayu (Qiufu)
Description: (Translated from French) At about 2 o’clock in the morning, the peasants were startled awake by the noise of the village dogs and roosters and by the strange vibrations of the houses. Believing it to be an earthquake, people rushed out of their homes. That’s when everyone could see a large bright disc quickly crossing the sky from NW to SE, almost skimming the roofs of the village. The shock caused by the gust tore off tiles, the leaves of the trees made a dull sound. (…) the villagers confirmed to me that their houses had trembled and they confirmed to me the existence of a disc of more than 3 m in diameter, but in the villages around no one felt an earthquake, nor saw this bright disc.

Event 32930 (F4CF08DC)

Date: Summer 1971
Location: CHINA, outskirts of Beijing
Description: (Translated from French) One day at dusk, the sun had already set and the sky was turning black. Having finished my work in the vegetable garden, I set off for the return. The moon was suspended in the sky in the southeast. I was walking in the direction of the north. I unconsciously raised my head and saw another bright moon in the northwest sky (…) which was almost blue, its brightness similar to that of a fluorescent lamp. (…) the blue moon shone particularly as if it had exploded. Two other luminous objects shot out at the same time from this moon, one above the other: they were even bigger, but less bright than the blue moon. This spectacle put me in a deep stupor. I couldn’t believe my eyes. A few minutes later, another strange phenomenon occurred: these two luminous objects themselves divided into two, making five objects in all including the blue moon. The last two were the biggest but the least bright. These five unknown flying objects were perfectly alike and they all stayed in the sky for a moment. (1971, Summer)

They stand there waiting for 5 minutes, then begin to put on orange belts, talking together animatedly. Suddenly a shining object appears in the sky, descends, and stops at a height of 2 feet from the ground. It is circular, bell-shaped underneath, and has a “turret” on the top. The object changes rapidly in color from orange to blue and to white. Suddenly a small staircase is dropped from the object, enabling the two men from the Mustang to enter the UFO. The staircase is drawn in, then the object takes off at an impressive speed.

Description: Alain G. was tent camping with three adolescent boys in a grotto about ten kilometers from Rocamadour, Lot department, France when he heard the sound of breaking branches outside his tent at around one o’clock in the morning. They were all concerned about possible prowlers, so he looked out from his tent window and saw a human-like figure, foggy white in color like a phantom, walking down a path toward the boy’s tent. The farther away the figure went, the less distinct it became. Stunned, he got up and ran out of his tent and down the path toward the other tent, but the figure had disappeared. He got the boys up and they explored the surrounding area, but they found no one. They then got into his car and they drove for several kilometers in both directions but found nothing more unusual.

Date: 7/12/1971
Description: At 11:00 p.m. Gaetan Paquin, a young man in his twenties, was just arriving home in Notre-Dame-Du-Nord, Quebec when a white object flew over the road. He next saw “a completely white being of human form, with a pointed nose, slanted eyes, and a little puckered mouth” standing near him. He saw the being in profile. “His height did not exceed 4 feet. He had no hair, and nothing that resembled clothing. He was very, very visible in the darkness–there was no light, for the sky was overcast and the electricity was out that night.” The being appeared to be transparent, and Gaetan had the impression that a stone thrown at him would have passed right through him. Although the apparition completely ignored the presence of the witness, Paquin became frightened and fled.

ders the driver to stop. They watch the object, now hovering about one- quarter mile away at an altitude of 1,000 feet. After 10 minutes it silently swoops toward them at high speed and stops 300 feet away at a height of 100 feet. The object is about 25 feet in diameter with two “tapering wings” on either side and casts a fluorescent yellow glow. After a few more minutes, the UFO moves toward the southwest at a 45° angle after drawing its two wings inside the main body. Some 50 witnesses report the same or similar objects in the same area that night, and both Abeywickrema and Wijesinghe report seeing UFOs around 2:00– 3:00 a.m. after returning home.

The witness and his wife went outside and saw the cows running from the field. They also saw a dark spherical object hovering above the field, with a reddish light shining out of what appeared to be an open door in the object. Three small men who glowed a pale green color were moving around the object. They seem to glide just above the ground in rapid, darting movements. At times the beings seemed to pick something up from the ground. The little men went back inside the object, closing the door behind them. The UFO then rose slowly and disappeared over some nearby trees. The next day a circular spiral was found on the ground, plus a silvery lump of unknown material that was later tested at Laval University.

Event 33015 (8F00E7E8)

Date: 8/1/1971
Description: At 11:35 p.m. a married couple driving in a car between Gladstone and Rockhampton in Queensland, Australia witnessed a circle of lights near a river. What should normally have been a two hour trip took them only 40 minutes. They have amnesia about what happened after sighting the lights in the sky, and an unusual oily residue and marks were found on their car. A possible UFO abduction involving time loss, a probable translocation, and levitation are suspected. Hypnotic regression failed due to the main witness having a violent, shaking, fearful reaction to re-envisioning the event in memory.

Event 33036 (2EFC7AF8)

Date: 8/11/1971
Description: At around midnight a 30-year-old woman in the Gavea district of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil was sitting by an open window while her husband slept. It was cloudy, and she noticed an orange glow coming from behind a cloud, which she first thought was the moon. She watched a large, elliptical metallic object come out from behind the cloud that was larger than a Boeing jet plane. It hovered, trembling and shaking like a dry leaf, then it stopped entirely and hovered directly above the science building on the University campus. Two smaller objects, perfect replicas of the first, next came out from beneath it and started oscillating in their flight around the larger one. The larger UFO was silvery metallic in color but had a wide orange, phosphorescent band crossing it from side to side. Within this band the witness believed she saw oval-shaped portholes of a light hue, and three or four shapes moving behind them.

The larger UFO emitted a broad, bluish beam of light that fell directly into the room in which the witness was sitting, so it appeared to have been aimed at her. She compared the type of light to that of an oxyacetylene lamp. Every time it hit her it nearly blinded her. The light turned off briefly and then turned on again, at first gradually, then more brightly. She now felt irresistibly drawn to it and had to hold on to the back of the settee so as not to fly out the window. She felt that the light was having a hypnotizing effect on her, and she tried to call out to her husband but could not say a word. The beam of light turned off and on five times over a ten minute period until she finally managed to wake her husband who came over to see the larger metallic object fly away. It flew at an incredible speed in a northeasterly direction until it was lost to sight beyond the Sugar Loaf in the direction of Niteroi.

Furthermore, they had no recollection of the journey, except that they had seen a strange green light at one point. Their car, a 1971 Valiant Sedan, was covered in an odourless oily substance. Attempts to learn more through hypnosis failed.

Description: (Translated from French) A Finnish couple, Ben and Helen K., are driving through a foggy night on the winding road from Gladstone to Rockhampton (Queensland, Australia). They are about to run out of gas when, passing by a closed gas station, they notice a green light among the trees. Ben and Helen suddenly realize they have been driving in a straight line for a long time and realize they have been repeating the same words. They notice a circle of lights above them on the left just before passing a sign indicating Port Alma, 40 km from Calliope River. The last thing they remember is being at a railroad crossing just outside of Rockhampton. They stop at an open gas station and inquire: they have traveled about 130 km in 40 minutes, and have no recollection of that time passing. (August 12th, 11:30 PM)

Event 33047 (22CB4F45)

Date: 8/16/1971
Description: Jan-Ove Sundberg was in the woods above Foyers Bay on Loch Ness, Scotland at around nine a.m. when he saw a grayish-black cigar-shaped object in a clearing in the woods. It was about 30 feet long with a curved standing portion at one end, so that it had the profile of a huge smoothing iron. Three grayish entities of normal human size then appeared out of some nearby bushes and stood together. They were dressed in what looked like diver’s suits and helmets. They approached the object and entered it by a door in the upper part of the curved portion, the UFO then rose vertically to a height of 50 feet and then took off rapidly in a near-horizontal trajectory. Sundberg took a photograph as the last of the occupants was boarding.

Event 33048 (B6FD7B03)

Date: 8/16/1971
Description: At nearly the same time as the Loch Ness CE-3 encounter, three adults and four children were in an isolated area on a Mediterranean beach in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain when they suddenly noticed a very tall figure that seemed to be trying to enter the water in a very clumsy manner. It was a very tall, well-built, and human like, but with very pale skin that seemed to lack any pores. It had a large hairless head with a high forehead and large gray colored eyes. It wore a pair of green shorts and it walked towards the shore very stiffly, almost like a robot. It walked past the witnesses maintaining a straight steady gaze on them. The witnesses turned their heads for a second and when they looked back the being had completely vanished. There was nowhere he could have gone and he was nowhere in sight.

Event 33049 (3F26DBBC)

Date: 8/16/1971
Description: At 6:45 p.m. John R. Renz had just been relieved from guard duty at Francis E. Warren Air Force base near Cheyenne, Wyoming and had stopped at the mess hall for a beer. On his way back to the barracks he came upon an unlit area of the base at the concrete reinforced bridge, which crossed over Cow Creek. For some reason everything was unnaturally quiet around him. As he began to cross the bridge and just before he got to the middle of it, a paralyzing sound resembling loud heart beats became evident. Simultaneously the area around the bridge lit up like midday. There was also a heavy breathing sound present, and the bridge began to sway in a wave-like motion and then settled down. Frightened, he began to run toward the other end of the bridge, but before he reached it he realized that he had dropped his tobacco pipe and went back to retrieve it. The bridge was still lit up and the loud sounds persisted. He found his pipe and stooped down to get it. When he looked up he was stunned to see a six to seven foot tall being standing there, only three feet away from him. The being had a medium build as far as the torso, but its head was much larger than normal and it had long arms. It appeared to be wearing a wet suit. The hood and body suit were one unit. The eyes were covered with a one-piece face mask that went across both eyes, as if it was some kind of blast shield, but the nasal area joined in with it. From the nose there was a silver gray tube that stretched at least a half a foot long and went straight into the chest area. The silver gray tube was ribbed and looked like a tracheal tube. The hands consisted of three long fingers that ended in claws. The feet were three toed and did not appear to have any heels. When Renz looked up to the being’s face, he was almost in a full standing position. The being raised its right, three-fingered hand and motioned for him to come closer. Instead, Renz turned and ran. His next recollection was of coming up on a military jeep and being picked up by two soldiers, still on the base. There was a seven-hour period of missing time.

Years later, under hypnosis, Renz remembered being inside some kind of object in a cockpit along with the being. The being spoke to him telepathically. He remembered descending through clouds of vapor that had a reddish brown tinge. The craft then flew in between two huge mountains: there was no vegetation anywhere and it looked like a rocky desert. He next remembered following the being through a huge door into the side of a mountain tunnel and entering a small room. In this room there was a table that floated in mid-air. The walls and floor of the room were a silver-gray color. On the floating table there was the carcass of a creature. The creature on the table had a larger than normal head and a face resembling that of a wasp. The eyes were large, like wasp eyes, and had slits inside that looked like pupils. It had what looked like multi-lens eye coverings, and it had a small jaw and a slit-like nose. The creature was about four to five feet in length and looked to have an exoskeleton. Its color was tan to brown with a bluish gray tinge. The humanoid creature gave off an unbearably foul odor, resembling a rotten egg sulphur smell. It had three fingers on its hands and at the elbows there was a sharp concave shaped spike at least six inches long. The mouth was gaped open and the teeth were like small shark teeth. A clear liquid with a reddish substance was dripped on the table.

The tall being then told the witness to leave the room. Outside the room he saw a saucer-shaped craft with a wide front end and a round tapered tail. The whole craft sat on two pillars, rectangular in shape with at least 50 feet between them. The being told him to go inside and sit in the left seat. On what appeared to be a control panel Renz saw numerous strange symbols. There was a sound like a powerful electric motor and the craft took off. Later he recalled the craft attacking a large mountainous area resembling a beehive. He could see numerous creatures inside. They appeared to be scrambling back and forth. There were a couple of hundred of them and they appeared to be the same as the insectoid humanoid that was on the floating table. The craft landed in the destroyed complex where he remembered seeing a live creature with the face of a wasp that was wearing a dark cape or cloak. Within its cloak it was carrying three small insect creatures at least a foot long. Their heads were triangular in shape with large eyes. The tall humanoid shot and killed the creature and the little ones. Renz was then taken back to the Air Force base.

Event 33051 (AEC83F2F)

Date: 8/17/1971
Description: John Hodges and Peter Rodriguez, both in their late twenties, had just gotten into John’s car at two a.m. when they saw in the headlights things that looked like “brains” on the road about six feet away. Of a bluish color, a localized mist surrounded them. One was the size of a human torso, and had something red on it; the other was “the size of an overgrown softball.” Frightened, the young men took off for home. Under hypnosis five years later, John Hodges recalled that the larger brain had spoken to them telepathically, saying, “Take the time to understand yourselves, the times draws near when you shall need to. You shall not remember this incident until we meet again.”

He also recalled that when he had arrived home and was still sitting in his car, he had a “dream” or vision of being in a large room with the brain. There were control consoles all along the wall, and there were several 7-foot-tall Grey skinned, bald humanoids with 6 webbed fingers and toes and thin lipped mouths. On a TV-like screen were pinpoint of lights, which the brain told him were places on Earth where there was “too much power.” He was also shown 3-D pictures of atomic explosions, and of a planet destroyed by “too much power.” After feeling a “buzzing” sensation he found himself back in his car. He thinks the experience was a “holographic projection,” because he noticed that behind him all was black.

As the object approached he noticed that it was a man-shaped figure that rapidly changed direction and headed towards him. Concerned he called for other witnesses and noticed that the being flew in a crouched position resembling that of someone riding on an “invisible” motorcycle. He described the figure as human with rosy skin, long black hair, and a beard and was very tall. It hovered near the witness, staring at him with penetrating black eyes. As other witnesses approached the figure disappeared in the direction of a nearby river at a low altitude.

Event 33061 (9D8DB517)

Date: Late 8/1971
Location: CHINA, Chungking (Sichuan)
Description: (Translated from French) (Li Chun) A peasant from my production brigade, named Zhang Rongchang, was tending to the corn fields. One day at noon, as he was returning home for lunch, in the middle of the path, he suddenly saw a man with a big head coming towards him. When Rongchang was 5 or 6 m away from the unknown man, the latter stopped. Astonished by the unexpected presence of this strange creature, Zhang stopped too and shouted twice to the man: “What do you want?” No reaction. The old peasant had the time to examine the man without seeming to and saw that he had a well-proportioned body structure. His body was dressed in a one-piece garment, like a space suit, made of metal leaves, with dots in front and behind. His clothing shone intensely in the sun. It was difficult to distinguish his arms and legs; His walk and his look seemed stiff, silent. His very bulky head was three times bigger than that of a normal man. It was covered with a helmet and the witness could not see any detail behind this helmet. Zhang Rongchang was very scared: he took a detour and ran desperately. When he was at some distance, he turned back to see the creature again, but it had mysteriously disappeared. (Zhang was never the same again, he remained prostrate, and died in January 1972) (…) (…) (1971, late August)

Event 33064 (ECBB9A7B)

Date: 8/25/1971
Description: Feeling a compulsion to go to a certain place, Paul de Brescia walked to an isolated wooded area near Grasse, France. In a clearing he encountered two very tall humanoids, about 1.85 meters in height with well-proportioned bodies and long blond hair. They wore tight-fitting bluish metallic coveralls with wide white belts and white gloves. The witness felt a sense of compassion and understanding emanating from the humanoids. The humanoids approached him and communicated in French, telling him that they had come from the star system of Vega. They were here on a mission to attempt to persuade humanity to change its ways. After more conversation one of the humanoids gave Paul something resembling a piece of chocolate, which he ate, he became drowsy and later woke up in his apartment, suffering a complete amnesia of the event. He was only able to recall the incident on a later date.

Event 33078 (86C82718)

Date: 9/4/1971
Location: Lago de Cote, Costa Rica
Description: 8:25 a.m. Pilot Omar Arias is flying a twin-engine Canadian Aero-Commander F680 at a height of 10,000 feet above Lago de Cote, Costa Rica, taking aerial photos as part of a preliminary study for future hydroelectric projects. On board are photographer Sergio Loaiza, a specialist in aerial photography, plus geographer Juan Bravo and topographer Francisco Reyes. Loaiza was using a R-M-K 15/23 camera, specially made for cartography and using high-resolution black-and-white film, strapped on the bottom of the aircraft and taking automatic photos with an intervalometer. No one sees a thing while they are up in the air, but when Loiaza reviews his images, he discovers in frame 300 what seems to be a huge metallic disc against the dark background of the lake. The object does not appear in the previous or following frames. Jacques Vallée obtains a copy of the negative and examines it with Richard Haines and concludes that the photo shows “an unidentified, opaque, aerial object was captured on film at a maximum distance of 10,000 feet. There are no visible means of lift or propulsion and no surface markings other than darker regions that appear to be nonrandom.”

More than 50 “soldiers” in blue “uniforms” emerge. They march in formation into a hollow in the field and are lost to view. Juan can now see only five or six “chiefs” standing on a slope and staring in his direction. When they shine a light at him, he ducks behind the hut. A bit later he looks out again and they shine the light once more. Frightened, he flees to Aznalcóllar to inform his employers, who do not take him seriously. He later insists that the object and the “soldiers” have left marks in the ground, but police do not bother to follow up.

They see a bright flash as something passes overhead and in front of the car. It now appears ahead of them on the right side of the road. Honke pulls alongside it and steps out of the car. They can hear a low-pitched humming from the object only about 150–225 feet away. It is shaped like two saucers, one on top of the aother, and has flashing green and red lights and one white statonary light. The object hovers for 30 seconds, then starts moving slowly to the southeast. But as the men drive north again, the object begins following them at a distance for about 45 minutes.

Event 33118 (1AD79366)

Date: 9/20/1971
Description: At 1:45 a.m. Osvaldo Nestor D’Annunzio, age 19, was returning by truck along an isolated road from a local ranch in Estacion Gil, near Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina when he noticed a bright white object quickly approaching him at high speed. The object rapidly approached the ground in an unnatural manner by making a very wide curve. As the object got closer it looked more like a reddish, triangular light. When it came even closer it changed into a top-shaped craft that emitted a cloud of red and white flame. The craft swung from right to left in a descending pendulum trajectory, finally slipping behind the tops of some nearby trees near the edge of the road. Once the object went behind the trees, a powerful reddish glow transformed the night into day, and he felt heat emanating from the object. At that moment he blacked out.

When he recovered consciousness he saw the UFO ascending, and it disappeared behind a nearby eucalyptus forest. He did not know how long he had been unconscious. Upon arriving home, D’Annunzio felt a paralysis in both his arms. He could walk, but his arms became so completely paralyzed that he could not use them to open the door, and he had to kick the door to attract attention. He was immediately rushed to a local military hospital for treatment. His paralysis continued until four p.m. the next afternoon.For the next seven months he suffered from paralysis in his arms, starting at midnight and lasting until early in the morning. He also suffered facial and scalp burns. Later he had further memories of the incident, recalling that he saw numerous cows and sheep standing strangely still at the edge of the road as the UFO descended, and the craft seemed to have split in two as it disappeared behind the trees. He further described the UFO as shaped like a child’s top, metallic blue in color, and encased in a red glow with a flame shooting from the bottom. It was about three meters in length.

Other witnesses in the area reported seeing the same or a similar UFO flying low over the area, including a man who reported vehicle interference as a result of the passage of the object. Later, local UFO investigators discovered dozens of cows and sheep dead and scorched alongside the road. Using a Geiger counter they measured a high level of radioactivity in certain areas. In the place where the object had descended they also found a burned circular area of grass about 10 meters in diameter. In addition, several metal telephone lines in the area were found severed along what appeared to be the object’s trajectory. A last unusual detail is that D’Annunzio apparently managed to drive the last eight kilometers in only two minutes, so some levitation and translocation may have been involved.

Event 33123 (2678BA01)

Date: 9/22/1971 (approximate)
Location: BRAZIL, Itaperuna, Serraria
Description: (Translated from French) Between 7:30 and 8:00 PM, Paulo Caetano Silveira in his VW car saw a luminous object circling his vehicle at 3 m, causing it to stop. As the speed was engaged, the car jumped forward when the UFO moved away, but stalled immediately. Panicked and sweating, the witness turned the key and was able to leave, but twice more the red and blue object approached him, and the car stopped again. Three humanoids of 90 to 100 cm in height were approaching him, floating, and he was taken by the trio and transported inside the craft where he was examined without being touched. He was brought outside by some kind of elevator and collapsed on the ground. They dragged him 5 m to the edge of the road, where he lost consciousness

. Ten minutes later he was able to get up and saw someone approaching: it was Doctor Crespo to whom he asked for help. (…) He immediately went to tell his story to the police, who saw him arrive with his arms and clothes dusty as if he had rolled on the ground. (follow-up on October 11, 1971) (Inforespace n° 56 of 1981, pp. 38 to 41) Between Natividade and Itaperuna, RdJ (Br.) on 22/09/71 Paulo Caetano Silveira (27 years old): temporary blindness; scratches and bruises; state of shock (source FSR 17.6 page 24). Paulo Silveira recounts that two figures in blue one-piece suits took him inside a luminous disc. He was driving towards Itaperuna when the disc blocked the road. A beam of light came out of it and the engine of the car stopped, while Silveira himself remained without energy. He heard a motor sound when the two extraterrestrials, the size of children of about ten years old, carried him on board. He fell into a coma. He woke up when they laid him on the edge of the road near his car, then they entered their craft and left. A passing motorist found the unfortunate, disoriented, dazed, and blind, and took him to the hospital. The abduction had lasted three hours. (1971, (12?) September 22)

Event 33124 (8B61A4EF)

Date: 9/22/1971
Location: BRAZIL, Cataguazes
Description: (Translated from French) Benito Miranda, truck driver, returned home on September 25, with his clothes stained with red and black earth, and his eyes injected with blood. He was treated at home, lay down and fell asleep. He told the police that while he was traveling around 24 hours between Itaperuna and Cataguazes, he saw a strange round object on the road. Approaching, he saw two small men measuring about 30 cm. From their belt, the dwarves took out a lamp from which a light beam, sometimes blue, sometimes vermilion, came out. The beam was directed at him and when the light hit him he was suspended in the air like a bird hovering. Every time the light intensity increased, the witness went higher, up to about 50 m: he felt paralyzed, unable to even scream. After about 5 minutes, headlights appeared in the distance. The dwarves lowered the beam towards the ground and the witness was taken back inside the truck. It took him a quarter of an hour to recover. (…) He stopped on the bridge crossing the Rio Carangola to check a steering defect, not knowing why he suddenly fell asleep and woke up at 6:30 the next morning, not understanding how he was in the car and had his clothes soiled). He returned home not remembering anything but had pains all over his body. 10 days after the incident, his left hand was still shaking slightly. [note from vog: confused all this! is it the 22nd or the 24th of September to start?] (1971, night of September 22)

Event 33131 (78DA5B19)

Date: 9/22/1971
Description: Sr. Paulo Caetano Silveira, age 27, a typewriter technician, found his car being followed by a red luminous disc while driving to his home in Itaperuna, Brazil. At Tombos he reported the matter to the local police, but they did not take him seriously. After he calmed down he started off again. This time, at about 7 p.m. and at a small village named Serraria, he encountered a black object on the road that turned a luminous red and then blinding white in color, and his car engine died. The object, slightly larger than a Volkswagen, had small windows and an open door. Next to it were standing three short, chubby beings approximately 20 inchestall, with fair complexions and slanted eyes. They wore one-piece, sky-blue coveralls with high collars, and “Roman helmets” with spikes. They carried vivid red and blue lights and moved in a stiff, mechanical way.

Two bright beams of light were focused on the witness’s car and its doors popped open. These beams pulled the witness from the car and into the machine, whose interior was brilliantly illuminated by white light. There was little in the way of furnishings inside, but inside were five more similar dwarfs. “An infernal din” commenced and believes the object flew some distance with him, but he shortly lost consciousness. The next thing he was remembered was being carried out and laid on the road beside his car. The UFO then rose vertically, hovered a moment, then shot off laterally at a staggering speed. The witness was left in a state of shock and nearly blind. For five days he still could not see well and was extremely nervous. His watch had lost 15 minutes.

Description: (Translated from French) Joël Bodain and Philippe Bruntz observed in the direction of the east, at about a hundred meters away from them, around 5 pm, an enormous round mass, white, semi-transparent, more similar to a disk seen from the front than to a sphere, motionless above the roofs of the houses. The huge object (4 cm at arm’s length, that is 6 to 8 m of real diameter) stands vertically and is dotted with round spots, all of the same size (1 m in diameter) whiter than the disk itself. As nothing happens, the children abandon their observation after one or two minutes. (1971, Autumn)

Description: 7:30 p.m. Chen Chu, a member of a People’s Liberation Army unit stationed in Dingzhou, Hebei, China, is on assignment in a small valley north of the city when he and other soldiers notice a ball-like object rising slowly to the north of their quarters. It is emitting mist, and after a few seconds it spurts out a large jet of smoke and rises in the air. It hovers a few more seconds then rises to a higher level. Soon it drops down toward the ground and disappears. The unit dispatches a motor vehicle to find the object, but due to the ruggedness of the mountain roads, it turns back after more than 3 miles.

Event 33147 (C89E50BC)

Date: 9/25/1971
Description: At two a.m. Benito Miranda, a 24-year-old truck driver, was driving on Highway 40 west of Itaperuna, Minas Gerais, Brazil when he perceived a strong beam of reddish light, coming from something that blocked the road ahead of him. He lost control of his car, and it slowed down and stopped despite his best efforts. He got out of his car and saw an object about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle on the road. A door opened in the object and three diminutive beings, less than two feet tall, jumped down from it. They wore coveralls with “Roman type” helmets, and carried dazzling lights. With a yellow beam of light they levitated him 150 feet from the ground, where he was floated for about 15 minutes. When the headlights of an approaching car came into view he was gently lowered back down to the ground, and the object and its occupants vanished. He drove back to Itaperuna and reported his close encounter to the police, who sent him to SAMDU Hospital to be examined. An independent witness, the driver of the approaching car, reported witnessing the event.

Event 33148 (85A81BDB)

Date: 9/25/1971
Description: The first sighting of a tall, hairy creature to occur on this day in Wantage, Oxfordshire, England happened at 5:30 a.m., but no details are available. Later that same day Miss Linda Milne saw a tall, hairy creature enter some woods near the old Wantage canal. Two 14-year-old boys said they were chased by it, that when they threw stones at it it ran towards them. They scaled a fence to get away, but the creature did as well. Later, they observed a disc-shaped object take off from a field in the same field. At the time there were many reports of UFOs in the area.

Date: 9/27/1971
Description: On this night Len Delman, a lorry driver, saw what he took to be a man in a white suit in the road directly ahead of his truck while driving near Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. He slammed on the brakes and came to a halt, believing he may have hit the man. He jumped out and went behind his truck, but found no one. Coming back around to the front of his vehicle he saw in the headlights a “spaceman,” 7-8 feet tall, with big, staring eyes 8-12 inches apart and extending around the sides of its head. It had a pack on its back from which two tubes led to the head. When Delman honked his horn repeatedly the “thing” jumped three feet in the air and ran across the road, then leapt over a hedge. Two other lorry drivers came upon the scene, and together they watched a disc-shaped object take off from the field where the figure had disappeared.

Description: (Translated from French) A Soviet-built Cuban plane lands in New Orleans without being detected. In 25 months, this is the second time American radars have seen nothing, as in October 1969. A report from an investigative commission of the House of Representatives will establish the existence of this 2500 km breach in the American air defense system between Florida and California, one of the regions where the most mysterious disappearances occur: the famous “Death Triangle”. It would cost $125 million to remedy it. (October)

Description: 7:50 p.m. Two students, Vània, 9, and Vera, 21, are sitting down outside their residence on a busy street in the populous neighborhood of São Cristóvão in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when they see a luminous, yellow, silent object above a building across the street some 260–300 feet away. They run out into the street to alert others, and the object follows them above the roofs of houses. Another student, Nelson Calmon Schubsky, 23, and his fiancée rush into the street along with many others to see the object. Chbosky has a Leica camera and takes two photos without having time to adjust the settings. The UFO has three luminous appendages (white, yellow, and red) and is rose-colored in the center with a red outline. It pulsates rapidly, changes color, and disappears behind a nearby tower. Chbosky’s photos are blurry.

Description: (Translated from French) At 6:14 PM, the ANA Boeing 727 flight 69 from Tokyo to Sapporo was flying at 27,000 feet when the captain, Tadayoshi Sugimura, saw a golden glowing object two o’clock away. Two other members of the crew were also observing the object. It almost filled the cockpit window, resembling a glowing stick, with four lights two-thirds of the way down its length and a trail following it. It was flying southeast at around 12,000 meters altitude and remained visible for nearly a minute. At 6:15 PM, another ANA Boeing 727, flight 68, was flying at 26,000 feet and the captain, Kenji Yamada, the co-pilot Akio Ishii, and flight engineer Roye Hopper observed the phenomenon 90° to the left of the nose of the aircraft. They estimated the length of the object to be 200 to 300 meters and 10 to 12 meters high, with a golden glow, with sparks at the front and a speed of Mach 2.

Event 33184 (769C1C57)

Date: 10/5/1971
Locations: Santos Dumont Airport; Rio de Janeiro; Brazil
Description: Early morning. While on the downwind leg of the pattern to runway 20L at the Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, four pilots on board a single-engine Cessna airplane watch as a “huge star” approaches them on their starboard side. The object descends to their altitude and slows rapidly to their air speed, smoothly changing its direction to fly parallel with them at an estimated distance of 98 feet. It looks like an “inverted dish” with a small rounded protrusion centered on its upper surface that seems to contain oval windows. What appears to be the head of a person is seen in one window looking at them. The UFO is seen for about 85 seconds. The object descends at high velocity toward the water’s surface, turns sharply left without any hesitation and disappears from sight in several seconds. The reporting witness is Chief Flight Instructor José Américo C. Medeiros, 23, pilot of the Cessna.

Location: BRAZIL, between Campo and Itaperuna
Description: (Translated from French) Omar Salera Armond took the bus from Italva to Itaperuna at 01:05. The 39 passengers were asleep. 8 km after Italva he saw a yellow-orange light about 500 m away and with an apparent diameter of 2 m. He told the conductor and the driver, who stopped the bus. The passengers got off to observe the phenomenon, which was then still. After some discussion, everyone got back on and the journey continued. During the last 31 km, the light accompanied the bus, except twice, it was constantly in front of the bus at 60° and executed various trajectory evolutions. The driver was suggested to make a call of headlights: he did. The UFO disappeared and returned a few minutes later. This happened 5 times. The bus stopped 3 more times on the way to observe the phenomenon.

Next to the UFO, small humanoids were pointing a box in his direction. They looked at each other like this for 10 minutes, then Paulo Caetano felt a sharp headache. The UFO left, he went back to bed, but he couldn’t fall asleep again.

Date: 10/11/1971
Description: Itaperuna, Brazil - At three o’clock in the morning Paula Caetano Silveira awoke from sleep abruptly, as if by “a mental shock.” From his bed he saw a light in the garden, so he went to his kitchen where he could get a better view. Through the window grating he saw the same object that had stopped him on September 22nd. It was hovering a half meter from the ground only three meters from his house. Paulo Caetano saw several small figures beside the craft, who pointed a small box-like implement in his direction. The witness and the small figures remained eyeing each other, with no movement, for 10 minutes. At some point Paulo Caetano’s head began to ache. The craft and its occupants left, but the witness was so upset he was unable to return to sleep.

Description: (Translated from French) … At two o’clock in the afternoon, I was walking on the left sidewalk of a street in the city. (…) I looked up without any particular intention and to my great surprise saw a strange flying machine shaped like a tank. I estimated its height to be between 4 and 5 m, its diameter between 2 and 3 m. It was in the sky at 400 or 500 m from the ground. It was a shining metal machine that flew along the street without making any noise. Its speed was equal to that of the cars and it was turning slowly on itself. I stopped to look at it better and the passers-by followed my example: everyone in the street was looking at it for a minute, then it disappeared.

Event 33204 (B15D1545)

Date: 10/16/1971
Description: Six members of a rock band were returning from a performance and were driving in a van near St. Catharines, Ontario when they saw a large disc-shaped object with brightly lit portholes and blue beams of light shining on the roadway. The group tried to turn back but the van came under the control of the object and it drove directly towards it. They got to within 20 feet of the craft and the van stopped. They all felt heat at this point. They then saw a face with large black eyes staring at them through the window. The back door of the van was opened and four humanoids stood there. They had large hairless heads and large black eyes. The beings communicated telepathically with the witnesses telling them they would not be hurt. Three of the witnesses were taken inside the object and tested with numerous instruments. At one point the aliens told one of the witnesses that there was not a “correct religion on earth.”

Event 33215 (05480DE8)

Date: 10/28/1971
Description: On this night Sally Pike was on a UFO watch on Cradle Hill, Warminster, England when she suddenly and inexplicably became apprehensive. Upon turning around, she saw, very clearly, the outline of a tall male figure striding up the road in the bright moonlight. The figure was about seven-foot tall, with extremely long arms, which hung limply at his sides. He seemed to have no neck, and his head appeared to rise directly from his shoulders. The body itself was almost transparent, with only the outline being solid. Later that same night, Neil Pike also was on watch near some white metal gates, and looked over to the road leading up to a military vedette post. He became aware of three giant figures standing in a line near the opposite hedgerow. His description was similar to his wife’s, except that the bodies ended at the mid-section and he could not discern any legs. Startled, he shone the beam of his flashlight at one of the tall figures. Immediately it vanished, only to reappear at another spot nearer to him. He flashed the flashlight on the other two and the same thing happened. They were now much closer to him. Alone on the hill, he panicked and ran to his car, got in, and quickly sped away.

Date: 11/2/1971
Location: USA, Delphos, (Kansas)
Description: (Translated from French) Ronald Johnson was working in the sheepfold and his mother was calling him for dinner when he heard a rumble. He then saw an object in the shape of a fly agaric mushroom, which lit up from top to bottom in all colors, the base being very bright. It came over the shed, broke a dead tree on the way, broke a branch off another tree and stopped near the latter, about 60 cm from the ground, for several minutes. Then its base became brighter and it rose obliquely at great speed, passing over the shed with a shrill noise like that of a jet plane. Ronald called his parents who finally decided to come and saw the light of the craft disappear in the distance. Going around the shed adjacent to the site, Ronald and his parents saw in the dark (night had come) a bright circle with a faint glow. The ground shone with a gray-white color. The branches of the site also shone in the same way. Approaching closer, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson touched the circular surface. It was not hot, but to the touch the texture of the ground seemed strange, as if the ground was crystallized. Mrs. Johnson immediately felt that her fingers had become numb. She then rubbed her hand against her leg to try to dispel this numbness, but the part of her leg where she had rubbed became immediately insensitive like the tip of her fingers. She compared this numbness to a local anesthetic. Mr. Johnson also felt the same sensation after touching the ground. (…) Broken branches, crown-shaped trace whose ground is waterproofed, containing a whitish substance. No radioactivity.

Event 33229 (1E64A1D4)

Date: 11/2/1971
Location: Delphos, Kansas
Description: 7:00 p.m. Ronald Johnson, 16, is tending sheep on his family’s farm at Delphos, Kansas, when he hears a rumbling sound and sees (75 feet away in a small grove of trees) an object become suddenly illuminated with a mass of blue, red, and orange colors. Nine feet in diameter and 10 feet high, the UFO is slightly domed at the top and is hovering 2 feet above the ground. He and his dog stare at the object while the sheep are bellowing. After several minutes, the glow at the base becomes more intense and the object takes off at an angle, clearing by no more than 4 feet a shed attached to the sheep pen. The rumbling is replaced by a high-pitched wail. Johnson is temporarily blinded but recovers his sight a few minutes later and sees the object still there. He runs into the house to tell his parents, and they also see the light in the southern sky moving off into the distance. At the site where the UFO has been is a glowing, gray-white circle where the soil seems to be crystallized. After the parents touch the soil, it turns their fingers numb, persisting for several weeks. Johnson takes a photo of the circle. Seven separate soil analyses are conducted. Soil samples taken from the ring so not absorb water, have a higher acid content, and contain more soluble salts and calcium. They also produce less seed growth than control samples and are coated with a hydrocarbon of low molecular weight that is difficult to remove. A second substance is also found that is composed of white, crystalline fibers.

Event 33230 (C27E555B)

Date: 11/2/1971
Description: A famous UFO close encounter leaving physical evidence occurred on this day at a farm one mile northeast of Delphos, Kansas. Sixteen-year-old Ron Johnson was tending the family sheep with his dog at around seven p.m. when he saw a mushroom-shaped UFO appear in the night sky. The object was covered with multicolored lights on its metallic surface. It hovered only a few feet above the ground only 75 feet away from him in a sheep paddock. Ron estimated the craft’s diameter at 6-8 feet. The teenager tried to get a closer look but under the brilliant luminance he was not able to make out any additional details. He described the craft as making a loud sound, “like an old washing machine which vibrates.” The glow from the bottom of the UFO increased as it began to shoot up into the sky. Ron was temporarily blinded by the brightness of the craft as it ascended. After he regained his sight and composure, he ran back to the family house to alert the others. The bright glow was now high in the sky, as it began to vanish from sight altogether.

Three family members came running around the side of the house to get a glimpse of the unusual object. They were shocked to see a glowing ring on the ground, right under where the craft had hovered. Ron’s mother touched the surface of the ground around the glow, and said it “felt strange, like a slick crust, as if the soil was crystallized.” Her fingers went numb, like she had been given a local anesthetic. Seeing nothing else of the craft, the family finally went to bed for the night.

(Continued.) At dawn the family returned to the sight of the glowing ring and to their surprise, it was still there. The inside and outside of the ring were damp from a rain shower, but the ring itself was completely dry. The ring had a crusty appearance, as though the rain had simply run off. Slightly over a month later, after a snow fall, the white ice had melted both inside and outside of the ring, but the ring itself maintained the snow drift. Investigators experimented with the ring by removing snow from a section of it and pouring water on the exposed part. The soil would not allow water to pass through.

Further experimentation showed the ground under the ring to be dry to a depth of one foot. The ring itself was composed of a whitish substance, which was sent for laboratory analysis. The lab findings found that there were fibers in the soil of an organism called Actinomycetales actiniomycete nocardia, which is an intermediate organism between bacteria and fungus, and is “often found together with a fungus of the order Basidomycetes, which may fluoresce under certain conditions…” One possible interpretation is that high-energy stimulation triggered the spectacular growth of the Nocardia and of an existing fungus, and caused the latter to fluoresce. Phosphorous may also have been baked out of the soil and may have been the substance that numbed Mrs. Johnson’s fingers when she touched the ground. The experience of Ron Johnson is still considered one of the best documented “ground trace” UFO cases on record.

Event 33232 (32DEBA2F)

Date: 11/3/1971
Description: Trudy Van Riper was awakened at around four o’clock in the morning by her cats “growling and carrying on” on her ranch near Austin, Texas. When she opened the door they ran inside and hid under the living room couch. When she looked out the window, she saw an “elliptical moon” object lighting up her backyard and part of the pasture beyond. Going to the front door, she discovered a strange little vehicle that had landed on her lawn, which resembled a Volkswagen without fenders or doors. From the top emerged three small men dressed in dark garments, one of whom communicated with her telepathically, saying, “Are there any pigs in that field? They are hungry.” Then she saw, near the men, two peculiar looking creatures covered with fuzzy hair, but standing erect. She retreated back inside her house, and when she looked out again the object was airborne, and the “moon” was gone. Later she learned that several pigs had been lost at a nearby farm.

At a certain moment he saw a light about 2 km away diagonally down and thought that a colleague was working like him. He went up the slope and felt that it was bright. He was flown over by lights without a defined outline, located at 50 m altitude and to his unpleasant surprise he saw these lights descend vertically and suddenly panicked. He left the tractor with the headlights on and the engine running. He fled to his brother’s house a few hundred meters away. He nevertheless turned around and saw (it was as bright as day) five lights parallel to each other about ten meters above the tractor. Regaining courage he waited and after a few seconds the lights rose, rose to fifty meters and moved back on the trajectory followed on arrival.

Description: (Translated from French) In Bordeaux (France), farmer Angelo Cellot is plowing one of his fields late at night under the headlights of his tractor, despite a dark sky and a light rain. Suddenly, Cellot thinks he sees a light coming from another tractor. He then realizes that the light is in the sky and is moving in his direction. He then assumes it is a helicopter and continues his work. This light, preceded by another red one, follows him along the field, hovering just above him. Then, 5 extremely powerful beams shoot out of it towards the ground. The witness is unable to guess the nature of the object that produces them. When the UFO starts to descend towards him, Cellot takes off, leaving the tractor with the headlights on and the engine running. Almost immediately, the UFO rises and slowly heads north. It is only then that Cellot realizes that it had made no noise. He returns to his home, deeply shaken. (November 14, 1:50 AM)

Location: BRAZIL, Bananeiras
Description: (Translated from French) (cf: continuation of October 11, 1971) At 9:30 PM Paulo Gaetano was returning in a car with passenger Elvio Bianchi. He felt that the car was not pulling normally and he mentioned it to his companion, who replied that he was tired and wanted to sleep. The engine stalled and Paulo had to pull over to the side of the road. That is when he saw the craft about three and a half meters away from him. A beam of red light emanated from it, which apparently caused the car door to open. Several small beings appeared, took Paulo into the craft and laid him on a small table. After tying his arm they lowered an apparatus resembling X-rays from the ceiling. He felt a cut near his elbow. They then showed him three panels, one of which depicted the city of Itaperuna and the other an atomic explosion. Paulo felt numb. Did Elvio see the saucer? No, he only saw a bus. Elvio said that Paulo had become nervous and said that they were being pursued by a saucer. The car had stopped and Elvio had to come to Paulo’s aid who had fallen to the ground behind the car. Elvio was unable to explain why the door was open and what had happened to Paulo who was injured on the elbow, nor could he explain why they had taken the bus. (see continuation on December 5, 1971 - also note that on November 15 and 16, 1971 Paulo Caetano had taken photos of the UFO

Date: 11/27/1971
Description: (Translated from French) For many weeks, the satellite Eole stubbornly refuses to work on Sundays! No valid scientific explanation can be given for these silences. Radio astronomers from the NRAO detect a transmitting source from Jupiter emitting ordered, perfectly rhythmic messages. This source had already been reported in 1961. Graham Smith, a world-renowned English radio astronomer, based on these musical modulation messages, unambiguously declares that it is an emission like he has never before captured elsewhere in space. The messages continue for a period of 9 hours and 56 minutes, the same as the rotation time of the planet Jupiter.

Description: Following a pre-arranged date with some mysterious entities, the well known stage psychic Uri Geller and physicist Andrijah Puharich drove to the appointed place near Tel Aviv, Israel around 10:00 p.m. There they saw a bluish light pulsating over a small square of open field. Geller felt an irresistible attraction towards the light. They left the car and heard a cicada-like electronic noise. Geller remembered asking Puharich and another witness, named Iris, to wait there and he set off towards the pulsating light. As he approached it he felt like he was entering some sort of trance. Everything became completely silent around him and he felt like he had entered some type of “vacuum.” The very air had changed quality. He then remembered seeing a strange “building” or UFO having no discernible shape whatsoever. Soon a shapeless dark figure parted from the strange building and approached him, then put something in his hand. Geller felt a sudden feeling of fear and ran back to Andrijah and Iris. Before he reached them he realized what was in his hand: it was the very same pen that had mysteriously vanished from their experiment box.

The light disappeared and then he saw it in a field near the runway. He approached: it was a very intense light blue light. At twenty meters he noticed that it was an oval shape emitting this blinding light. And then he saw the being. He was walking near the thing, he was small, one meter tall or less, bareheaded, wearing a khaki uniform and small boots. They looked at each other fixedly, the being and the witness, who was terrified. Then the creature turned around, raised his arms horizontally and lifted off the ground, he returned to his craft as if he was attracted by a force, from the top, head first. Inside there were at least two other beings, they were looking at the witness without moving. A kind of slide closed with a small sound. The object moved away first slowly and at fifty meters at a lightning speed, disappearing in a second.

After a fierce struggle, one of the two young women managed to free herself for a few seconds. As she was about to reach her companion, the beam struck her in the back. She then felt an unbearable heat and a vibration throughout her body. Both felt abandoned and had lost their sense of time (note from vog: still without breathing?). Finally freed from the beam, they rushed into the nearest house. Their clothes were covered in mud and one of them had lost a shoe [note from vog: logical, after the beam adventure!] (1972, unspecified date)

Description: Betty Hill begins making numerous trips to a rural area near Kingston, New Hampshire, where she claims to see 6–7 UFOs every night, often at close range. Saucer-seeking pilgrims join her on these vigils. CUFOS field investigator John Paul Oswald joins her occasionally and is convinced she is only seeing airplanes and, on one occasion, a streetlight. She claims no further abductions or CE3s, but many ufologists think her celebrity has clouded her judgment.

Event 33354 (E468FE8F)

Date: 1/26/1972
Description: At three a.m. Norman Chastain was out fishing late at night in the St. Johns River near Blount Island, Florida when he saw something like “half a ball” with orange and blue flashing lights. It came “directly toward my boat” and hovered noiselessly overhead at 150 feet. He turned off his light and the object slowly moved off. He had drifted to the shore and with his spotlight he could see in the nearby woods “the darndest looking human-like creature one could ever imagine.” Waht he saw was a humanoid creature about five feet tall, with pointed ears, large eyes, and a sharp chin. Next a brilliant white light hit him that paralyzed him until dawn. He noticed an “overpowering stench” in his clothes and hair, and threw away his clothes. Three nights later he smelt the same odor again, and in the morning found a fungus like growth similar to “a cluster of several flesh colored heads looking at me;” he said they “had teeth, big eyes, a wide mouth, and pointed ears,” and looked “like the devil looking creature” he saw on Blount Island.

Event 33372 (E81FE531)

Date: 2/12/1972
Location: FRANCE, Saint-Pierreville (Ardèche)
Description: (Translated from French) We had just crossed the pass and were beginning to descend towards Saint-Pierreville, Bernard Vialle recounts, when we suddenly saw a brilliant light burst from the ravine, along the road, about 300 meters ahead of us. Surprised, and a bit scared, I braked. It took me about 200 meters to stop. We opened the doors, ready to flee, for during those few seconds, a luminous sphere had appeared, rising slowly from the ravine. It seemed to have a diameter of about thirty meters. It seemed to us that it was heading towards us. We ran away, abandoning the car. But we quickly realized that the thing was not pursuing us. At a very low altitude, it had begun to fly over the side of the valley, very slowly, sometimes stopping. It lit up the ground in a radius of 300 meters. A firework light. A bit unreal. It was something wonderful and terrifying at the same time. We were so captivated by the spectacle that we didn’t notice the time passing. We suddenly realized that we had been there for more than an hour. We can’t stay like this, Jean-Claude said. Tomorrow, when we tell this, we’ll be called “lunatics”. We got back in the car, but taking the road that follows the opposite slope to the one being flown over by the “thing”. When we arrived at the hamlet of Feouzet, we discovered the valley again. The enormous luminous sphere was still there. Fascinated, we watched it again for a long time. Then we rushed to wake up the deputy mayor, Eugène Payot. "When Bernard and Jean-Claude came to wake me up, they were so excited that I had a hard time understanding what they were saying. Nevertheless, I got up and went out to look. It was more beautiful than I could have imagined, this kind of disc hovering, motionless, above the valley. I have no words to describe it. We couldn’t take our eyes off it and we fought against sleep to observe it for as long as possible. Around six in the morning, the craft moved away towards the east. Its luminosity gradually weakened, then it disappeared. We parted without daring to talk. Thus, for five hours, the UFO explored the valley, sometimes motionless, sometimes moving very slowly and scanning the ground with its spotlights. And during those five hours, Saint-Pierreville experienced an inexplicable power outage. The gendarmes and the mayor confirmed it to me. A curious outage, since, if the light bulbs refused to turn on, the electric radiators and the clock of the bell tower continued to work. “It was an electromagnetic phenomenon,” said a technician. “That is why only the devices in a closed circuit continued to work.

Surprised, and a bit scared, I braked. It took me about 200 m to stop.

It seemed to us that it was heading towards us. We ran away, leaving the car. But we quickly realized that the thing was not pursuing us. At very low altitude, it had started to fly over the side of the valley, very slowly, sometimes stopping. It lit up the ground over a radius of 300 m. A firework light. A bit unreal. It was something wonderful and terrifying at the same time. We were so captivated by the show that we didn’t see the time pass. We suddenly realized that we had been there for more than 1 hour. “We can’t stay like this,” said Jean-Claude. “Tomorrow, when we tell this, we’ll be called ‘illuminates’. We need a witness.” We got back in the car, but taking the road that follows the opposite slope to the one that is flown over by the “thing”.

Description: Victor Marchetti , who has worked as an analyst for the CIA from 1955 to 1969, announces his plans to write a nonfiction book about the agency and completes a draft of an article for Esquire which, according to a later CIA account, includes “names of agents, relations with named governments, and identifying details of ongoing operations.” The CIA receives a copy of the article and decides to seek an injunction against its publication. The basis for seeking an injunction against Marchetti is the secrecy agreement which he signed when beginning employment at CIA. The agency presents the agreement and the parts of the draft article it considers in violation of the agreement, to Judge Albert Vickers Bryan Jr. of the US District Court for Eastern Virginia, who grants a temporary restraining order in April. The case proceeds to trial, at which Bryan finds for the CIA and issues a permanent injunction requiring Marchetti to submit his writings to CIA for review prior to publication. Marchetti appeals the injunction to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which upholds Bryan’s restraint but limits it to classified material. The appeals court also finds that Marchetti is entitled to timely review of materials he submits to the CIA. Marchetti appeals again to the US Supreme Court, but SCOTUS rejects Marchetti’s appeal in December. Marchetti continues work on his book with a coauthor, John D. Marks , and signs a book contract with publisher Alfred A. Knopf. In August 1973, they submit their manuscript to the CIA. After reviewing the manuscript, the agency responds with a list of 339 passages that it claims are classified information and demands their deletion. Marchetti and Marks reject the demand and indicate they will go to court to print the manuscript as written. The CIA then withdraws its objections to 171 of the items but stands firm on the remaining 168. The trial is held again before Judge Bryan. This time, however, he rejects all but 26 of the deletions requested by the CIA on the grounds that the information in them is not properly or provably classified. The CIA appeals Bryan’s ruling, and ultimately the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upholds all 168 of the deletions. The book is published by Knopf in 1974 as The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence. It is printed with blanks for deleted passages and boldface type for the 171 deletions that CIA originally requested and later withdrew. It is the first book the federal government of the United States ever goes to court to censor before its publication.

Date: 3/7/1972
Description: At 2:30 a.m. Diana Granville Matthews was driving along the Warminster-Bath Road near Norridge Common, England when she saw an orange oval-shaped UFO that crossed the path of her vehicle. It came from behind a hedgerow to her left and sailed down to road level, no more than 12 yards in front of her car, before lifting and careering over another hedgerow and out of sight. Startled, she did not stop to investigate but continued driving on. No sooner had her dazed vision become re-accustomed to the road when she saw a tall male figure all in white clothing walking towards her on the far side of the road. He was a few hundred yards ahead of her and was loping along quickly . She noted little about his facial features or coloring, but he was of giant stature. She pressed hard on the accelerator and saw the tall figure striding along through deep pools of water alongside the road. She drove home badly frightened. She went to bed but at about 5 a.m. she was awakened by a sharp rapping on her front door. She heard a voice clearly and insistently calling. She got up, went to the front door and opened it but saw no one there.

Description: President Nixon legitimizes the use of special access controls and the “special access program” is finally made official. These are security protocols that provide highly classified information with safeguards and access restrictions that exceed those for regular (collateral) classified information. SAPs can range from black projects to routine but especially sensitive operations, such as COMSEC maintenance or Presidential transportation support. In addition to collateral controls, an SAP may impose more stringent investigative or adjudicative requirements, specialized nondisclosure agreements, special terminology or markings, exclusion from standard contract investigations (carve-outs), and centralized billet systems.

Location: FRANCE, Civières, hamlet of Aubigny
Description: (Translated from French) Daniel Laurets (Loretz?), a fireman lieutenant, saw at 9:25 PM through the windshield, to the right of the road, something descending towards the ground and landing very quickly. He braked. He estimated that the object was 200m away from him. At the moment of the landing, a kind of small red ball covering the UFO went out. At the front, two elliptical openings were diffusing a pale light obliquely towards the ground, which was lit. At the back, a weak red glow was lighting the plowed field. Thirty seconds after the landing, the lights went out and in the now black night, nothing was visible anymore. He had a hard time making the engine of the new R6 work properly and it coughed for several hundred meters before running normally. (1972, 10th March)

Allen Hynek, R. Leo Sprinkle , Frank B. Salisbury , James A. Harder , and Robert F. Creegan. The deadline for evidence is January 1, 1973. On May 23, 1973, the panel announces that none of the entries examined warranted the full prize, but it has decided to award $5,000 to the Johnson family of Delphos, Kansas, for submitting the 1971 landing trace evidence. The panel awards seven other UFO cases with a portion of the reward, the last going to Deputy Sheriff Val Johnson in 1980.

He stopped his truck and saw the mist replaced by a blindingly vivid light. When he opened his eyes again he saw “a large oblong machine with a rim on the upper part and wide projections in the under part” about 100 yards away. Three men with very broad shoulders emerged, walking with difficulty. They “looked like Chinese, but with sharper features.” They came up to the witness and one of them touched him, gripping his elbow. They spoke to him in a strange language, but he understood that he should not be afraid of them. Then one of them took out “a plaque with two shining symbols on it,” and showed it to him.

Description: (Translated from French) (cf: March 3, 1972) Another driver had a similar encounter. He was driving in the opposite direction and saw, lying in the middle of the road, what looked like the corpse of an animal. He got out of his car with the intention of moving the corpse off the road. As he opened his door, he saw in the light of the headlights the creature moving, half running, half hopping, and jumping over the guardrail while turning its head towards the witness. The witness took his gun and fired, but missed. The description of the creature matched that given fifteen days earlier. This witness went to the police station to report it.

Event 33417 (4E634237)

Date: 3/17/1972
Description: On this night in Loveland, Ohio police officer Johnson’s headlights picked up an animal lying on the road. As he opened his car door it rose up on its hind legs and showed itself to be a leathery skinned biped with a frog like face. It was three to four feet tall, like the creature seen by Officer Williams two weeks before. It stepped over the guardrail and went down the embankment of the river. Officer Johnson took out his service revolver and fired a shot at it, but missed.

Event 33418 (4B8F2B58)

Date: 3/18/1972
Location: FRANCE, Pont de Cheruy
Description: (Translated from French) At 7:15 PM, Edouard Sessière and his 17-year-old son Christian, in a car, were suddenly blinded near the “Cantamin” house in the Brochet district. The light came from an object stabilized at 35 m high. The light was so dazzling that Mr. Sessière had to stop abruptly. It looked like an electric arc as reflected by rotating mirrors. The object did not appear to be metallic, its diameter could be 10 m. After two minutes it pivoted into a horizontal position, started, stopped 100 m further on to take up its vertical position and disappeared at great speed describing a yellow-pink-red “S” in the direction of Charvieu. The “S” disappeared after a quarter of an hour. Physical effects on the watch and on the car.

Event 33429 (C8F3ADDA)

Date: 3/19/1972
Location: Santa Maria Acuexcomac, Puebla, Mexico
Description: 10:00 p.m. A boy named Mario goes out onto his patio at Santa Maria Acuexcomac, Puebla, Mexico, to look for a broom when he sees a bluish light, which gets larger as if it is approaching the ground. He sees that the thing is descending into a vacant lot and, thinking it is a hot air balloon, runs towards it. When he reaches the lot, he sees the thing is a kind of luminous sphere giving off a blue light like that of a welding torch. Mario now becomes frightened and runs to call his mother. As he goes in the house, two neighbors, Zacarian Mendoza and Manuela Carlotta de Mendoza, also see the object. When Mario comes out again accompanied by his mother Josefina, the object, which has been on the ground for 7 minutes, begins to rise up, producing a hum and casting off more blue sparks. Gradually the light and sound are lost in the sky. The next day, Mario goes to the site and finds four deep tracks, about 8 inches deep, separated exactly from each other in the form of a square of 8.2 feet. At an equidistant point in the center of the tracks there is a black burnt mark on the ground.

Event 33435 (D4DD5C45)

Date: 3/25/1972
Description: At 3:30 a.m. the witness was roused from sleep at his home in Soesterberg, Utrecht, The Netherlands by a loud humming sound and saw a bright light from his window. Looking out, he saw a blinding white light surrounded by a fog, and thought that his car was on fire. He ran out, started his car, and began to move it. His next recollection was that he found himself in a deserted moorland, and he stopped his car. Next, a “human like figure” ran past the car from the rear and then “suddenly…vanished.” He got out of the car and saw a lens-shaped object on the ground to his left, about 100 feet wide, surrounded by a greenish glow. The green light came from windows in the craft, and three beams shining upward from it. In one of the windows he could see a human-like being. He approached on foot to within 10-12 feet, and he saw this figure motion to him to go back. The figure was between five foot and five foot four inches tall, and wore a tight fitting metallic looking coverall that had a belt with a tube that ran to his collar. He had almond shaped eyes and seemed to be smiling. Behind him was some sort of instrument panel. Several other humanoid beings were seen standing behind other windows. Then the object then “jumped” from the ground, floated for 30 feet, and then “hurled away” with a scraping noise to the wouthwest. Traces were later found at the landing site.

Event 33443 (3FFFA1A5)

Date: 4/1972
Location: PERU, Huaypo Lagoon
Description: (Translated from French) During an excursion with 4 cars and a total of 15 adult people and two children, when they arrived at Huaypo around 8:00 pm, all 4 cars suddenly stopped. Worried, they started to examine the engines and then heard a buzzing coming from the north. It was an object of 10 to 15 m in diameter moving quickly in a straight oblique line towards the lake and slowly submerging into it. It was a silver-blue disc surrounded by an orange halo and when it submerged, the water of the lake turned orange at the point of impact. The engines of the cars could be restarted 2 to 3 minutes after this phenomenon. (April 1972)

Event 33444 (2D606666)

Date: 4/1972
Location: FRANCE, Sainte Soulle
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. X was driving and was 2 km from his home. It was around 10 pm. In a bend near a wood, he saw on the right a light seeming to come from a clearing near the road. When he got close, he was astonished to see a very large disc-shaped object with a dome on top, apparently resting on four legs. Panicked, the witness tried to drive away and noticed that the headlights were off and the car wouldn’t start. He stayed there for 45 minutes. A progressive paralysis spread through his limbs and voice. At the end of his forced wait, in absolute silence, he saw a tiny, blackish figure, thin, 1m tall, jump out of the wood bordering the clearing, jump onto the edge of the disc, then jump again and disappear into the dome. Immediately the craft took off in a pendular ascent, stopping for a few seconds between 50 and 90 meters. Then, in a beam of light, it headed towards Marans, the marshes of Brie and St Michel to the north. Mr. X saw his headlights come back on but was still shocked. He was dazed, crying at the wheel of his car, unable to move. It was 10:50 pm, when Mr. G.'s (Mr. X’s neighbor) magnetic detector went off, emitting a discontinuous sound. Mr. G., interested in UFOs, took his car and found Mr. X, half-unconscious. It was only the next day that he could tell his story and remember. However, he was left with partial amnesia, not remembering the events of 6 months ago. His memory returned several weeks later. There were numerous traces, including a cow in the meadow near the wood from which the humanoid had emerged: the farmer found it dead, marked with three neat holes in the middle of its forehead between the eyes.

Event 33459 (D7A5A2A8)

Date: 4/13/1972
Location: Canada, Val Senneville (Quebec)
Description: (Translated from French) Jacques Fortier was walking at 10:30 PM. “Having reached the top of a small hill (…) I saw lights that went out in front of me. (…) I continued to walk with my head down and it was after a while, when I looked up, that I saw with astonishment a kind of “machine” in the shape of a spinning top, difficult to describe. I am sure I heard something moving inside. At the same time I realized that I was no longer able to move, I was like frozen in place. A whole panel of the half of the machine in front of me opened (noise) and out of it came an extremely strange object, a kind of double triangle (thickness) attached at the base and which stayed close to the “machine” at the level of a kind of raised hem that separated the machine in the middle. It was like a kind of transmitter device that transmitted this to me: “Don’t talk too much, for you too will no longer speak”. The voice was hard, hoarse, separating the words (I heard it in my head and maybe not elsewhere…) The speaking thing was spinning while staying close to the central bulge of the machine and the background noise seemed like a kind of buzzing: bzz… bzz…” The witness’s surprise came mainly from the fact that he was immobilized for half an hour while normally it only takes five minutes to go from the neighbor’s house to his own. He arrived home at 11:35 PM. (…)

Event 33491 (EC6A2058)

Date: 5/1972
Description: Project Blue Book scientific advisor J. Allen Hynek writes that Blue Book was a “cover up” and that the UAP problem was “glossed over.” Hynek said he felt his hands were tied, and if he complained, the USAF and Pentagon would pull his access to case files as retribution.

Hynek also writes he suspected Blue Book was a “front” for a more classified investigation, stating he was told to drop one case and told by higher-ups “not to pursue the matter further.” This is significant because for decades the USAF used Blue Book’s conclusions to debunk UAP to the American public and Congressional inquiries.

Description: William G. Lestin and his wife were driving to a motel near Salisbury, Maryland at around 11 p.m. when they saw a luminous disc settle to the ground 100 yards away. Mr. Lestin got out of the car and walked to within 50 feet of the object. He described seeing a round object sitting on tripod landing gear. Moving about underneath it were two four-foot humanoids, resembling human beings but with long arms that dangled to the ground. They were “apparently covered with a glazed coat of grayish material” and wore helmets. As he watched, a door opened and a ramp descended; the two humanoids re-boarded and the object rose up into the air with a blinding red light. The entire incident had lasted more than five minutes. Mr. Lestin was terrified by his experience and had to be sedated when he arrived at his destination.

Date: 5/5/1972
Description: Aarno Heinonen was at home in Imjarvi, Finland at 10:15 p.m. when he heard a strange noise, and then a female voice that told him to go alone to a certain crossroads. He did so, and encountered a 4 foot, 8 inch tall young woman with blond hair, wearing a yellow pantsuit that seemed to glow, and silver colored shoes. She carried a silvery ball by a handle, and it had three antennae like projections on it. She told him that her people had come from “the other side of the Milky Way” and that three different kinds of humanoids, ranging from very small to very tall, had visited Imjarvi. She also told him that she was 180 years old, and instructed him not to mention the contact to anyone else. Heinonen previously had a dramatic close encounter with a friend while out cross-country skiing in January 1970.

Event 33523 (98C83F5E)

Date: 6/1/1972
Description: The principal witness, along with her mother and two friends, were driving to the village of Collage near Molong, New South Wales, Australia at around 8:00 a.m. As she sat in the back seat she looked out the window to her right and noticed a large bright shiny object. It was saucer shaped with a dome on top, and along side of it on the left was a very tall person dressed in an outfit that glowed the same as the ship. Another similar figure was walking towards the road (the craft was about 30 meters away from a fence line, which was 5 meters from the road). A third figure was standing on the right side of the object near a dead tree. All three had on the same clothing with helmets with black visors. She described the aliens as being very tall, approximate eight feet in height. As the car drove she noticed that they seemed to be collecting items from the ground. She also noticed that the one walking towards the road seemed to have turned his helmet and look at their vehicle as it drove off. The witness never told anyone else in the car what she had seen.

Description: New York City artist and psychic Ingo Swann visits the Stanford Research Institute [now SRI International] in Menlo Park, California, to begin remote viewing experiments. He is brought by Harold E. Puthoff and other scientists to a building where, several floors below, is a heavily shielded magnetometer whose sole function is to measure quarks. One scientist asks him to “perturb” the device. As Swann sits there trying to visualize the magnetometer, a scientist monitoring it tells the group that the needle is moving wildly and malfunctioning. The scene is repeated several more times, each time when Swann is imagining the device. Puthoff is intrigued. He writes up his findings and a few weeks later he is visited by two CIA intelligence analysts who want Puthoff and SRI to investigate remote viewing for espionage purposes.

Event 33549 (783EAE17)

Date: 6/20/1972
Location: SOUTH AFRICA, Fort Beaufort (Cape Town)
Description: (Translated from French) A red fireball, one meter in diameter, changing color and becoming green, then white, was observed hovering above the trees of a farm. Bernie Smit fired several shots at the object, with no result. An hour later, the alerted police arrived and they then saw a black sphere fleeing behind the trees at their approach. They fired at the ball. It then became gray-white, frolicking above the trees, with a loud noise of air stirring. (Janet and Colin BORD: “Modern Mysteries of the World” - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 350, 351, placing this on June 20th) June 26, 1972 - Port Beaufort, Farmer de Klerk was watering his cattle in a meadow. Suddenly he saw a plume of smoke in the clear and cloudless sky. The smoke quickly headed towards him and exploded into a roaring fireball. Terrified, de Klerk dropped his bucket and ran to fetch the boss, Bernie Smit. Mustering a group of workers, Smit returned to the scene to find the fireball hovering above the meadow. As the men climbed the fence, the fireball fled and rose up. (1972, June 20th or 26th)

Event 33552 (7460C0A8)

Date: 6/22/1972
Location: SPAIN, Logrono (Old Castille)
Description: (Translated from French) Javier Bosque, preparing a degree in theology and philosophy, lies down on the bed to read “Don Quixote” and turns on the radio at the lowest volume. At a late hour of the night, he does not hear due to this a crackling of background noise: around two o’clock in the morning he is still reading. Suddenly it seems to him that the light increases in intensity. He puts down his book and looking towards the window he sees a strong luminosity through the slits of the slightly open window. His curiosity turns to fear when he realizes that the window is opening slowly, allowing passage to a luminous object that comes towards the center of the room. It moves slowly, two meters from the ground, without noise. The light hurts the eyes and Javier has taken refuge under the covers, eyes half-closed. The object rises, descends to 40 cm from the ground, stops. Since this thing is in his room the transistor emits strangely high-pitched whistles. He sticks out his arm from the covers and turns on the recorder. The device descends even lower, begins an exploration with a laser-like beam of 5 cm in diameter, from the radio to the recorder. Once this beam is completely retracted the device rises to 2 m, after a few seconds of immobility, flies towards the window and disappears. When no more whistling was audible he stopped the recorder and went to the window: deserted street and partially cloudy sky. The recording has been the subject of several studies.

Event 33556 (E7217803)

Date: 6/22/1972
Locations: Logroño, La Rioja, Spain; Spain; Brazil; France; US
Description: 2:00 a.m. Javier Bosque, a seminarist of the order of St. Joseph Calasanz, is reading in bed at his room at the Colegio Escolapios in Logroño, La Rioja, Spain, when he notices a bright light outside through the half-closed shutters of his window. To his surprise, the window begins opening by itself and a 2-foot-long, football-shaped, metallic, luminous object enters his room and approaches the foot of his bed. His radio begins to emit a loud, continuous sound. He reaches over and turns on a cassette tape recorder. The object descends from about 6 feet above the floor to 15 inches above it. A beam of solid light extends from the object, touching the radio twice, retracts, then touches the cassette recorder. Bosque grabs the recorder and holds the microphone in his lap. The object ascends to about 6 feet above the floor and moves out the window and up. The radio sound weakens. The 8-minute sound recording is analyzed by laboratories in Spain, Brazil, France, and the US. It contains some pure tones at first, followed by modulations in amplitude. Robert H. Coddington finds, after an analysis of the tape, that it most likely is a recording of the chance reception of an ordinary test transmission from a terrestrial broadcast station and does not match Bosque’s narrative.

Event 33557 (013F962C)

Date: 6/23/1972
Location: BRAZIL, Apacurana (Parana)
Description: (Translated from French) Sergio Gugerman, 12 years old, ran back home around 1:30 pm, drawing attention to an object suspended at a certain height above a pine tree. The child said he had seen the object rise up from behind the cane and banana plantations, in the middle of a whirlwind of dust, leaves and grass. The spectacle made the horses and cows gallop. The witnesses ran towards the object and saw that it was round, dark underneath, and shiny on top. It looked like an enlarged bladder. It moved without making any noise. Before accelerating southwards, it dropped a rain of shiny paper leaves, which the children wanted to catch, but suddenly they rose towards the craft, as if sucked up by it. Traces. The day before, Sergio’s father had heard a noise around 7 pm, which his wife thought was a branch falling, but they had not gone out to see.

Event 33567 (5F6241EA)

Date: 6/26/1972
Locations: Braeside Farm; Fort Beaufort, Eastern Cape, South Africa
Description: 8:00 a.m. Bennie Smit, the new owner of Braeside Farm 9 miles from Fort Beaufort, Eastern Cape, South Africa, is alerted to a “fiery red ball hovering at tree-top level” by his hired hand Boer de Klerk. Its color changes to bright green and then to whitish yellow, with flames shooting out. Smit dashes home, grabs a rifle, and calls the police. He shoots at the object, but the bullets have little effect. At 10:30 a.m., police sergeant Piet C. Kitching and warrant officer P. R. van Rensburg arrive at the spot where the UFO is still hovering. As the object moves away, Smit fires at it an eighth time; this time he hears a thud, and the object moves up and down and stops changing colors. Smit and Kitchin fire at it some more, after which it disappears and reappears about 60 feet away looking gunmetal gray in color and somewhat oval-shaped. After they fire two final shots, the object moves away through the trees around noon. The next day, van Rensburg leads a team of police officers to the site, looking for evidence. They find nine circular imprints of its supposed landing gear found in damp clay soil. On June 28, Brig. A. Vosloo, divisional commander of police for the Eastern Cape, takes soil samples and plaster casts of the imprints.

Event 33568 (525E3971)

Date: 6/26/1972
Description: At 8 o’clock in the morning some native farm laborers came running to farmer Bennie Smith, the owner of the Braeside farm, near Fort Beaufort, South Africa. They thought they saw a fire in the thick bush land. Thinking it might be poachers on his land, Mr. Smith went to the spot with his .303 rifle. Hovering partially behind some brush 200 yards away was a glowing egg-shaped UFO. He went and called the police, and at 9:00 a.m. Sergeant P. Kitching and Warrant Officer P. van Rensburg arrived at the site. The color of the object was a gun metal blue but after they watched it for a while it started to glow red all over. They were sure it was under some form of intelligent control because when the farm laborers shouted from the bush the object moved down out of sight of the witnesses.

They decided to shoot at it with the rifle. Fifteen rounds were fired. They heard a thud from the seventh shot. The UFO changed color from a red glow to a green glow and then to yellow, and rocked from side to side. They watched it for another hour before the police had to leave the area. Mr. Smith stayed to see it leave a short while later. It turned on end and climbed rapidly into the sky, making a humming sound.

Event 33635 (7DE52C62)

Date: 7/15/1972
Location: ARGENTINA, Arroyito (between Balnearia and Cordoba)
Description: (Translated from French) Severino Porchietto driving a 1968 Ford Falcon and his passenger Attilio Brunelli, both in their fifties, were surprised at 3:10 AM by a bright flash of light illuminating the area as if it were broad daylight. A few moments later they saw to the left of the road, 50 meters away, a row of rectangular lights which they took to be those of a stopped train: 2 meters high and 70 cm wide, separated by dark posts 50 cm wide, emitting an orange light. As they talked between themselves, they suddenly realized they were in a town they estimated to be Rio Primero, which they found strange since they should have gone through towns like Transito and Santiago Temple. They were back home at exactly 3:30 AM, having covered the 185 km in only one hour! The car had only consumed 12.5 liters of gasoline! Then the driver remembered, but two days later, that at a certain moment, after the flash, he had been surprised by the abnormal smoothness of the car’s driving, as if it were swaying gently. There were physiological consequences.

Description: (Translated from French) Giordano Orioli was woken up around 1:15am by the barking of the dog, which was running frantically from the door of the house to the garden gate. He simply brought the dog in, which calmed down. Around 4:40am Lina Orioli, shortly after getting up, opened the window and immediately saw the object while it was still dark. She called her husband. They thought it was a broken down truck parked outside the road. Around 5:00am Giordano went out with the tractor intending to move this “truck”. But… it was a rectangular object 6 or 7m long and 1.50m high with a curved top part bringing the total height to 3.5m according to his estimation. On the wide side, in the curved part, there were two rows of four round, nickel or silver-colored portholes, about 40cm in diameter, and a tube or curved antenna coming out of the narrow side and pointing towards the ground. When he got to 6 or 7m from the craft, it suddenly began to rise making a noise like 3 or 4 gas bottles opened at the same time. Too stunned, the witness didn’t even follow it with his eyes

Locations: Australian Annual Flying Saucer Review; Dartmouth
Description: 9:15 p.m. Maureen Puddy sees the same object she had seen on July 3 at almost the same spot. This time it seems to drain power from the car, causing it to stop, the car steering itself off the road. A voice in her head tells her, “All your tests will be negative. Tell media, do not panic. We mean no harm.” Several months later, she is “mentally” abducted into a room where she sees an entity. This event occurs while two other people are present with her, but they only report that Puddy lapses into unconsciousness. On a later occasion, the entity appears as she is driving the car.

Magee, “The Close Encounter of Maureen Puddy,” Victorian UFO Research Society, 1996; Keith Basterfield, “Present at the Abduction,” IUR 17, no. 3 (May/June 1992): 13–14, 23; Mark Cashman, “Behavioral Classification System for UFO Occupants,” IUR 24, no. 1 (Spring 1999): 20) July 27 — The Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Oceans and International Environment holds hearings on Senate Resolution 281, proposing an international treaty to ban weather modification as a weapon of war. Dartmouth environmental scientist Gordon J. F. MacDonald opposes the bill, saying that research needs to be unfettered, but he mentions weapons that might use electrical waves, created by the differential between the ionosphere and the surface of the earth, “that would be tuned to the brain waves…. About ten cycles per second…. You can produce changes in behavioral patterns or in responses.”

Event 33673 (28F6C80B)

Date: 7/25/1972
Description: The witness, a 37-year-old woman, saw a blue light from a saucer-shaped object nearby while driving in Frankston, Victoria, Australia on this evening. She tried to accelerate away from the object, but her car’s engine died, although the headlights remained on. She felt as if she was “under observation” and heard a voice. Her engine then started by itself and the saucer left. The woman had seen the same object before on July 3.

Event 33675 (C165A72F)

Date: 7/26/1972
Description: In a continuing series of strange encounters at Cradle Hill in Wiltshire, England Robert Mason and Stephen Barnett had reached a field beyond the copse at 9:15 p.m. while it was still light out. A short while later they both looked back towards a barn and caught sight of a figure, resembling that of a small man or boy, in the clearing just in front of the barn. Upon being noticed the figure dodged out of sight behind the side of the barn. Stephen looked through binoculars to see if the being would pass the line of trees leading back down the road to the gate, but saw nothing. They searched the copse but found no one.

Location: Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California
Description: Ingo Swann returns to the Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California, as do the two CIA intelligence analysts. With Swann in a Faraday cage, the SRI team conducts a series of what’s-in-the-box tests in which office supplies hidden inside a box are presented to Swann, who is asked to identify the objects inside. During a lunch break one of the CIA agents walks outside and collects a small brown moth, capturing it alive, and sealing it inside a box. When Swann looks at the box, he sees “something small, brown, and irregular, sort of like a leaf…. Except that it seems very much alive, like it’s even moving.”

Locations: Puerto Rico; San Juan; Ponce; Adjuntas; Barrio Garzas; Utuado; Utuado High School
Description: Numerous UFO sightings are reported throughout rural areas of Puerto Rico, as well as in San Juan and Ponce. People travel to the small town of Adjuntas, where the objects are seen frequently. One Friday night, the mayor of Adjuntas is traveling with a group of people in three cars along a lonely stretch of road in Barrio Garzas when he sees three bright discs moving through the sky. Their light changes in color and intensity. Sightings also center on the town of Utuado, where the Air National Guard has scrambled F-104s to chase the objects. A teacher at Utuado High School is driving back from town with his brother when they see a bright light off in the bush 300 feet from the road. They get out of the car and approach the light, which is sitting in a clearing. It is a flattened disc about the size of a small house and has a set of small, dark rectangles evenly spaced around its edge. It is brilliantly lit and its colors are constantly changing. They watch the object for a few minutes until it vanishes like “someone turning off a light.”

The main witness and two other men who accompanied him waited at the site for several hours before they saw a light travel across the lake and descend behind some nearby trees. Shortly later they heard heavy footsteps of someone approaching through the trees. Frightened, they ran to their car and began to drive away when a giant creature resembling an octopus with large tentacles appeared, apparently trying to grab them. The three men got out of the car and struggled with the creature, but soon got back into the car and drove away, stopping at a field outside the forest. They then went back, but the creature had disappeared by then.

Location: FRANCE, St Jean du Gard
Description: (Translated from French) At around 2:30 in the morning, the witness who was camping with her husband in the garden of a friend’s couple was taking a breath of fresh air outside. She saw a very bright illuminated shape the size of a Fiat Isotta in the hills when she heard footsteps behind her, like those of a child. She turned around and saw at 3 or 4 meters a shape facing her. This shape was 1.20m tall, absolutely black. The body was parallelepiped-shaped. It seemed to her that the shape was made of wood 30 to 40 cm thick, topped with an ovoid shape in place of the head. Two white circles of 5 cm placed in place of the eyes were the only thing that stood out from this motionless mass, whose bottom was hidden in the tall grass. The witness felt a morbid impression as if the shape wanted to neutralize her, and she jumped into the tent to join her husband. He did not have the courage to come out and closed the tent from the inside.

Event 33729 (094CA5C9)

Date: 8/9/1972
Locations: Saint-Jean-du-Gard, Gard, France; Nîmes
Description: 2:30 a.m. A married couple, both college professors, are camping out in a garden in the backyard of some friends’ home just off the road to Nîmes at Saint-Jean-du-Gard, Gard, France. The woman is walking outside and sees a shiny white ball the size of a small car sitting in a nearby parking lot. She hears footsteps behind her and sees a dark shape about 4 feet tall in the shape of a parallelepiped topped by an oval where a head would be. It has 2 white circles for eyes, but no visible arms or legs. It turns toward her and she feels an extraordinary fear. After a few seconds, she runs back inside the tent.

Event 33730 (F8F54020)

Date: 8/9/1972
Description: A woman teacher was camping out in the yard of a friend’s house in Saint Jean Du Gard, France and had gone out for a walk at 2:30 a.m. when she noticed a white spherical light that appeared to be in a nearby field. As she stood there watching, she heard footsteps behind her that sounded like someone walking on the dry grass. When she turned around, she was confronted by a five-foot tall, robot-like being that was completely black. Its head was egg-shaped and it had two round white discs for eyes. The witness felt an unbelievable level of fear and had the feeling that the being possessed extraordinary powers; it could in fact control “nature itself.” She blacked out and when she recovered found herself back in her tent with her husband. That same morning a truck driver named Marcilio was forced to stop his vehicle in the pre-dawn hours on the Amaral Peixoto Highway in Brazil when the road was blocked by a UFO sitting on the road with yellow and blue flashing lights. It took off rapidly.

Event 33756 (E7963BF4)

Date: 8/12/1972
Location: Taizé, Saône-et-Loire, France
Description: 2:00 a.m.–5:00 a.m. About 30 young members of the Taizé Community in Taizé, Saône-et-Loire, France, are having a discussion in a rustic theatre circle to the northwest of the community buildings. Renata Faa is the first to see a star-like object come out of the sky in the west. It lands on the ground on a ridge facing them. Eventually, after more yellow lights appear on the object, they see it as cigar-shaped and about 100 feet long. Five other white lights emit luminous beams that extend progressively across the ground. Two cupolas are visible on its left side. Three small white discs appear on the right side, apparently emerging from the main object, and perform complex maneuvers. Some of the witnesses feel a tingling in their fingertips and knees. Faa and three of the other witnesses decide to walk through the fields and approach the object. Around 3:00 a.m., a multitude of red particles appear in the air around the approaching witnesses and in the ground around them. The lights on the object constantly change their patterns of display and movement. The four witnesses see a dark mass like a haystack on their left about 30 feet away. A small red light is moving haphazardly around it. When one of them shines a flashlight on the haystack, the beam travels horizontally for a bit then is directed perpendicularly upward. Finally, toward 5:00 a.m., the large object rises up and moves off to the south, following the terrain.

Date: 8/18/1972
Description: Raimundo Alvarez and Pancho Torres, two masons, were working on a roof drain at around two o’clock in the afternoon in Istapalapa, Mexico when they heard a humming sound. Next they noticed that all ordinary daytime sounds had eerily ceased, creating a “stifling” silence. About 50 yards away from them Alvarez saw two strange, eight-foot tall figures, dressed in bright silvery clothing resembling fish scales. When they got closer the two men could see that the beings were unusually broad shouldered and slender. They had round heads that were bright silver in color, with two round bumps in place of eyes, small ears, no visible mouths or noses, hands with four digits, and large webbed feet like those of ducks. They “seemed to float in air” while walking. The beings started to approach the witnesses, but just then a woman carrying a milk can came around the corner of the house, and the two creatures “flew” toward her. A great deal of dust arose from the ground; the two entitiesvanished into it and were not seen again.

She estimated that the figure was more than 11 feet tall. She felt an electric shock in his presence, and added, “He must have been emitting some kind of electricity, because it felt just like when I touch the [electric] iron and my body goes all jerky.” Suddenly, the giant apparition shot into the sky and disappeared. The woman and her daughter ran from the spot, spilling the water in their flight.

Event 33804 (85FD38D8)

Date: 8/26/1972
Description: A man was driving down the highway in Rural, Illinois on this night when a bright light in the sky caught his attention. He followed it to where he saw a disc-shaped craft descend and hover close to the ground. A door opened in the craft, and an angled plank slid down from it from the doorway to the ground. Several slim humanoid figures wearing coveralls began to exit the craft. The witness crept up to it and suddenly the outer rim slid aside, following the curve of the craft, exposing transparent cylinders, which looked to be incubators with infants inside them. As the witness stared at them in disbelief, one of them opened its eyes and smiled at him, and he smiled back, then a look of distress came upon its face as if it appeared to be having trouble breathing. The man proceeded to pound on the glass, trying to break it open, and then picked up a rock intending to smash it open, but he abruptly felt himself being lifted up, from his two sides, away from the craft. He believes that the aliens knew he had been trying to help, and were glad that the noise he created alerted them to the apparent problem with the incubated hybrid. His memory ends at this point with an ensuing period of missing time.

Event 33814 (62B55256)

Date: 8/28/1972
Description: At around 3:00 a.m. Eduardo Dedeu was driving home between Medanos and Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina when he stopped to pick up a very tall hitchhiker wearing a coat with the collar turned up. His chin was much longer than normal. To Dedeu’s remarks the stranger made unintelligible replies. After several miles, his car’s lights went out and Dedeu was obliged to stop. Ahead of him on the road was what he first took to be an overturned bus, with a large blue light in the middle and smaller white lights on the sides. When he got out of the car he was dazzled by a brilliant flash of white light, accompanied by intense heat; when he could look again he saw the object, with white lights in its windows, moving leftward. The hitchhiker was gone, and the passenger door handle was detached, laying on the floor of the car.

Locations: Valea Plopului, Romania; Odaia hill
Description: Just after midnight. Vasile Cărăbuş, a night watchman at an agricultural cooperative in Valea Plopului, Romania, sees a yellow star with a trail crossing the sky. It then hovers and appears to land in an orchard on the Odaia hill about 1 mile away. A couple days later, Cărăbuş and other locals visit the orchard and find a circular area 15 feet in diameter where all the stems are broken off about 3 feet from the ground. In the center of the circle is a mound of earth about 2 feet in diameter and 15 inches high. In the middle of this is a round hole at least 6 feet deep, around which are three identical impresions 4.5 feet apart. Hundreds of curious onlookers visit the site, among them engineer Justin Capră , who detects a substantial increase in gamma radiation in the center of the circle. Ufologist Călin Turcu notes that the vegetation on the mound of earth is completely absent for the next 4 years and frail after that.

Fox describes the contact as a “good clear target.” The object is tracked for over an hour when at approximately 6:00 a.m., NORAD is alerted. Two F-106 jet fighters are dispatched from Homestead AFB [now Homestead Air Reserve Base] in Miami–Dade County to locate and identify the object. The UFO disappears from radar scopes shortly before the jets arrive. At the airport, FAA watch supervisor George Morales views the object through binoculars and describes it as silver-white in color and cigar-shaped. Officials at Miami International Airport, which also tracks the strange object, report no aircraft are known to be in the area where the UFO was spotted.

A few minutes later, the phenomenon repeated in reverse. Mrs. Mahaut jumped out of bed, opened the window, and saw in the bend 250 meters away an orange, elliptical light spread out on the ground. Everything was bathed in this light, which in fact represented a hemispherical volume of several meters in height. The phenomenon moved away to the west. The orange light was replaced by orange rays, which disappeared and a cyclamen sphere rose up.

The object looked like the planet Saturn, the hemisphere above the ring was gray aluminum pierced with oval portholes three times wider than high. Two of the witnesses decided to leave, the third had the idea of making headlights. To his great surprise the UFO then started up and in the blink of an eye dived towards the car, barely missing it before disappearing. Wanting to leave, the motorist found that the engine was stopped. He was trembling like a leaf and the next day he was still white as a sheet: he thought his last hour had come.

It climbs to the top of the hill and settles in for 4 minutes. He watches it increasingly brighten from a row of windows at the upper dome and glow pink on the bottom side. He flashes his lights at it, and it rises and dives at his car, passing just 30 feet above it. The engine stalls, the radio goes off, and the headlights dim. A wave of heat passes over him, then the UFO races away. (

Description: (Translated from French) The scene of the observations was the IKA-RENAULT factory. At 05:40 Merlo headed towards the changing rooms (of which he was the guardian). At 01:40 he had closed the access doors and he had to open them for the maintenance personnel who would arrive around 06:00. He opened the first door and switched on the light, then opened the second door and placed soap and towels near the first sinks. At that moment he noticed that the light on his left was off and that a person was sitting on one of the small sinks. He was surprised. Immediately a second lamp burst with a sharp noise, while the one that was off lit up and he noticed at the same time that the seated figure had disappeared. Merlo quickly stepped back, but he could not find any trace of him. He checked everything up to the inside of the metal cabinets: there was nothing. He did not dare tell anyone about his experience for fear of being accused of negligence. In the evening, at 21:10, taking the bus to return to his night shift at the factory, sitting on the 3rd row he suddenly saw in the rearview mirror the face of the figure observed in the morning. After 3 minutes the image faded and he then saw the scenes inside the bus. Around 22:30 he started work, but disturbed by the events he had experienced, he decided to confide in Romero, head of the factory protection department. The whole affair was kept secret. The witness suffered for 3 days from an irritation of the eyes and there were strange incidents with the lights in the changing rooms and with the witness’s watch.

Description: At 5:40 a.m. in Santa Isabel, Cordoba province, Argentina Sr. Teodoro Merlo, age 56, a maintenance worker at the Ika-Renault car factory, unlocked and entered a company washroom and was surprised to encounter a “man” nearly eight-feet tall sitting on the long washbasin. The being’s complexion was very pallid, and he had a bald head with high, pointed ears. The giant wore a very tight-fitting, dark blue one-piece garment. He noticed the uniform was glove-tight at the wrists, and that the being held his right forefinger below his nose. The figure suddenly vanished unaccountably from the washroom, in which the temperature was abnormally high. Lights in the building went on and off by themselves. Sr. Merlo later suffered eye irritation, repeated headaches, and back pain in his lumbar region for eight days. The witness reported that he again saw the face of the entity in a mirror on the bus the next day.

Date: 9/22/1972
Description: At 9:00 a.m. Virgilio Gomez was driving along a lonely road near the University’s experimental farm in Palenque, San Cristobal, Dominican Republic when a man wearing a light green coverall that covered even his feet waved him down. The man wore no gloves, and had a sort of watch on his wrist. The man identified himself as Freddy Miller, a well-known Dominican baseball player who had disappeared mysteriously more than 13 years ago on May 5, 1959. He said that a UFO had rescued him from drowning in a boating accident, when two of his companions drowned, “because of my knowledge of radio technology and my intelligence.” Nearby were two slender men seven feet tall. They were dressed like Miller. They had complexions like Orientals and short, chestnut colored hair. Miller pointed out to Gomez the craft in which they had arrived: it was football shaped, the size of an automobile, with a bright “nickel plated” surface. The conversation continued for about five minutes, during which Miller told Gomez that the humanoids were “supposedly from Venus.” Then Gomez was told to leave, because theywere departing, and not to worry if his car wouldn’t function, because it would return to normal spontaneously. As he drove away Gomez saw the three men approach and get into the UFO.

The headlights go out and the engine and wipers stop. The light persists for 5 minutes, and the temperature inside the car rises. Suddenly the light is gone, and the electrical system works again. The car starts at the same time as the witness smells a strong odor of ammonia or ether. The witness drives home quickly, terrified.

Event 33892 (9882BC3E)

Date: 9/27/1972
Location: ARGENTINA, Santa Isabel.
Description: (Translated from French) Again at the IKA-RENAULT factory. Around 10:30 PM, the young Moreno deposited documents on the table in the Engineering Office, without turning on the lights, as per routine. Immediately the lights turned on and off, three times in a row. After that he heard a sound like a turbine, quite unusual for the area. He was scared and quickly got on his motorcycle to head towards the depot, 200 meters away. At 11:13 PM he made the return trip when he saw, quite far to his right, a kind of rainbow near the ground. Suddenly, at a distance of 100 meters to the right of the path and 10 meters from the sidewalk, a bluish-green figure was moving slowly. When he was 30 meters away from the being, it turned around. The exhaust pipe of Moreno’s motorcycle produced a discharge, the machine was shaken, the engine slowed down. His motorcycle eventually stopped inexplicably, facing the being. It was 230 to 240 cm tall, athletic, angular face, whitish or light green, no hair, pointed ears, bright and round eyes. No eyelids, no eyelashes or eyebrows, straight mouth. This lasted about 30 seconds before the motorcycle started again towards the left, made a sudden jump before starting to obey the witness. The factory’s stop work siren sounded, it was 11:30 PM but the witness’s watch had stopped at 11:13 PM. He informed the guards of the events. The next day, around 10:30 PM, looking out the window he saw the same being outside, in a deserted corner. (1972, September 27th and 28th)

Locations: Santa Isabel, Córdoba, Argentina; Ika-Renault factory
Description: 5:40 a.m. Teodoro Merlo, maintenance man for the Ika-Renault factory in Santa Isabel, Córdoba, Argentina, is making early rounds at the plant. He enters a previously locked washroom and sees a man sitting on one of the basins who is nearly 8 feet tall and wearing a close-fitting, dark-blue, one-piece garment tight at the wrists. It has a bald head with high, pointed ears, and very white skin. As Merlo approaches, the light by the janitor goes out and a light near the entity goes on spontaneously. Merlo hears a noise like “a metal object striking glass,” and the entity disappears.

Event 33895 (6CB639FB)

Date: 9/27/1972
Description: At 11:13 p.m. Enrique Moreno was delivering documents to the Ika-Renault factory in Santa Isabel, Cordoba, Argentina when the fluorescent lights in the engineering room went on and off three times. There was an accompanying noise like that of a turbine lasting for several seconds. Driving his motor runabout outside the plant he briefly glimpsed “a sort of rainbow very near the ground,” but thought no further of it until he suddenly encountered a tall figure, glowing a bluish green, moving among a pile of chassis beside his route. As he approached within 30 meters the figure swung around, in a stiff mechanical way, to face him, and at the same time his engine faltered then quit when he came opposite the being.

This humanoid figure, strongly built and about 7.5 feet tall, had eyes like yellow light bulbs, large pointed ears, a square chin, and a slit-like mouth. The face appeared pale green, but this may have been do to a reflection from the clothing, a one-piece luminescent bluish-green tight fitting coverall with a broad silvery belt. Moreno felt an intolerable humming in his ears, a sensation of heat, and itching over his entire body. There was also the smell of burning oil. His arms and legs were paralyzed. After 30 seconds of this confrontation, his motorcycle shot off to the left seemingly under its own volition at high speed, and the witness was returned to the Security Office without his conscious control. He arrived there at 11:30 p.m., but his wristwatch had stopped at 11:13 p.m., leaving 15 minutes unaccounted for. Moreno was in a highly agitated state, and subsequently suffered nausea and pains in the neck, as well as a burning sensation in his eyes. At the encounter site two rectangular “footprints” 8 inches x 16 inches were found and the soil there was warm to the touch.

Through the window, Rodriguez saw the tall figure from the side, but not the head. When the figure arrived at the front right of the truck, the witness saw it through the windshield. The figure pivoted on itself and stared at Rodriguez, then made the same movement in reverse and continued walking. Its movements were those of a robot. As it moved away from the truck, the being crossed the road diagonally, heading left into an alley where it disappeared behind the metal frames placed there.

Event 33899 (D90006CD)

Date: 9/28/1972
Description: At 3:40 a.m. in Santa Isabel, Cordoba province, Argentina truck driver Luftolde Rodriguez was making a delivery to the Ika Renault plant four and a half hours after another UFO close encounter, and he had driven into the northeast sector of the plant to unload. He was driving a 1957 Dodge dumptruck. Having unloaded his cargo, he was just starting off when he noticed the whole area light up. He heard someone approaching from behind, and when he looked out the right window he saw, in profile, the torso of a very tall figure pass close by. Only when he could see this figure through the windshield could Rodriguez see its head. At that point the being stopped, did a right about turn stiffly, and looked straight at him. He did another right turn, and walked slowly and awkwardly ahead, finally crossing diagonally to the left and disappearing behind some pallets. He had been in view from 60 to 90 seconds. The entity was dressed in a tight one-piece coverall of luminescent blue-green color, identical to the one seen by Moreno four hours earlier. He was over 2.5 meters tall and his head was bald, with the skull flattened at the rear. He hadlong, narrow pointed ears. His eyes were numerous circles with no eyelids or eyebrows. The nose was straight and the mouth rudimentary. His complexion was very white. Legs and arms were extremely long, and he did not bend his legs as he walked. In his left hand he held a small white sphere the size of a billiard ball. He had on a wide silver belt and large, square silver boots.

A number of physical effects occurred simultaneous with the being’s appearance: the truck’s engine and lights died, and these effects lasted until it was 25-30 meters distant. Rodriguez was immobilized in his seat. Although he could follow the movement of the figure with his eyes, he could not move either his arms or legs. He heard a humming noise, similar to bees, while the figure was in view. He sat there for several minutes after the figure vanished, not knowing what to do. Finally, some other workers approached to ask what was wrong and he told them what he’d seen. A search disclosed no sign of the intruder, nor where there any traces. Subsequent inquiries disclosed there were a number of independent UFO observations in the area during the evening of September 27-28.

Description: 12:00 midnight. Security guard John Byrne is patrolling Cairo Mill, an old factory at Waterhead, Lancashire, England, that has been converted to an electronics system testing facility for jet aircraft. Near the bicycle shed he hears a deep humming noise like a generator inside a closed room. The sound bores into his head. He looks up and sees a huge object parked at a height of 300 feet adjacent to the tower end of the mill. It resembles a glowing bell shape turned on end with the flat base vertical to the sheer wall of the tower. The object is giving off a blue, fluorescent glow that falls like a curtain of solid light. Byrne watches for several minutes until the object turns sharply on edge and moves straight up into the sky until it is only a blob of light.

Event 33941 (B2F218A4)

Date: 10/14/1972
Description: Airman First Class Steven Briggs and Airman Dennis Hillsgeck, stationed at McChord Air Force Base in Pierce County, Washington, were instructed to check the tactical air navigational (TACAN) facility located eight miles east of air base. Upon their arrival at the site they opened the locked security fence surrounding it and entered the compound. Once inside, they began their systems check of the equipment. At around 2:00 p.m. Briggs heard a high-pitched engine sound coming from outside the building, so he went out to investigate. Once outside he observed a saucer-shaped object directly over the building. He then watched the object land just south of the compound. Startled, Briggs entered the building and summoned Hillsgeck. Back outside both men observed two “creatures” walking towards the fence. Briggs went back into the building and telephoned the base security police. He yelled that they needed help because “intruders” were attempting to enter the facility. Sgt. Holmes at the security desk dispatched Sgt. Dwight Reid and AIC Michael Tash to the scene. After 17 minutes they arrived and observed Briggs and Hillsgeck standing near their government vehicle; both appeared to be in a daze and neither could speak. An ambulance was summoned. Hillsgeck appeared to have burns around the face. Tash walked around the area and found ground marks in the soft dirt. Suddenly Reid yelled to Tash that an object was directly overhead, and indeed the saucer-shaped object was hovering just above the facility. Sgt. Reid attempted to communicate with the security police desk, but the radio would not work. Reid and Tash then got Briggs and Hillsgeck and drove them from the scene. One mile from the site Reid was able to communicate with security, and he requested assistance, declaring a “Covered Wagon” (a high security violation alert). Four additional security officers arrived, including Sgt. Darren Alexander and his dog “Champ.” Approximately 400 yards south of the site, Sgt. Alexander was alerted by his dog to two creatures standing near a remote power station. Sgt. Alexander yelled for the creatures to stand and raise their hands, but instead both creatures moved towards Alexander, who noticed that one of them was holding somekind of an object he thought was a weapon. Sgt. Alexander then fired six rounds form his revolver. After firing the shots, Alexander returned to his vehicle and radioed that he had fired at the creatures. Soon another security alert team arrived. They conducted a search of the area and also observed the saucer sitting on the ground, directly east of the power station. They circled the craft and called for a supervisor, a Captain Henry Stone. When Stone arrived and walked toward the object it flew off in an easterly direction and was out of sight in a few seconds.

Event 33943 (DEBA02D1)

Date: 10/19/1972
Location: USSR, Tashkent, Ryzl Lake
Description: (Translated from French) Several witnesses observed a disk that seemed to be in distress above the lake. One of the witnesses noted the fall of silhouettes resembling vaguely wounded and disjointed men. The police who arrived at the scene discovered the body of a being that measured 1 m 34, with gray skin, and despite a long stay in the water showed no signs of putrefaction. He had a prominent belly. The specialized divers checked if there was no wreck at the bottom of the lake: no wreck, no other bodies. But traces, photographed: a long regular trench 4.60m wide which widened in certain points. In rocky places the stone had been cut to the same width, but no trace of metal torn off. The rocky walls where the rock is attacked are literally vitrified. (M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: “Ovni, Premier dossier complet…” ed. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 616, 617) Around 11 o’clock in the morning a peasant passing by a pond near Tashkent sees an oval device of 10 m in circumference, violently shaken, falling into the pond. Little beings are ejected during the fall. A few days later a fisherman discovers the corpse of a small humanoid without ears, with gray skin, 1 m 34 tall (…)

Event 33949 (04997A59)

Date: 10/22/1972
Location: MEXICO, unspecified location
Description: (Translated from French) (cf: May 10, 69, Mexico) Around 10 pm Enrique Mercado was enjoying the cool air on the terrace of his house. Suddenly a tall young man was behind him. “Enrique, do you want to come with me?” Enrique agreed. He had to attach himself to the young man with his belt and then they found themselves flying in the air, on an invisible beam to a saucer 10 meters wide. In the saucer Mercado was amazed by the apparent simplicity of the equipment: a panel with 5 buttons of different colors, a kind of screen and two armchairs, that’s all. They flew to a mothership, around which twelve other saucers were circulating. Mercado was then dressed in a green suit and was presented to the commander of the ship, a tall man over two meters tall, who was dressed in blue. The commander’s name was Yastek and he showed Mercado a map of the sky. “Where are we?” asked Mercado. “Some 100,000 km from Mexico”. Suddenly, he found himself on the balcony of his house, two hours had passed, it was close to midnight.

Event 33951 (0AB96EAE)

Date: 10/22/1972
Description: Enrique Mercado, who had been involved in other alien encounters, was lounging on the terrace of his house in Mexico City, Mexico at 8 p.m. when a very tall young man suddenly appeared behind him. The man asked: “Enrique, do you want to come with me?” Enrique agreed. The young man straddled Enrique as he grabs a girdle on the man’s coveralls. Then they fly through the air, inside an apparently invisible beam, into a hovering saucer-shaped object. Inside the craft Mercado is surprised at the apparent simplicity of the craft’s furnishings. There is a table with multi-colored buttons, a screen on the wall, and two armchairs. The saucer then flew into a hovering mothership, around which other saucers were hovering. Mercado is then given a green coverall to wear and he is introduced to the commander of the vessel, a huge man over two meters tall, who wore a blue coverall. The commander’s name was Yastek, and he showed Mercado what he called “sky charts”. Enrique is informed he is at a point some 100,000 kilometers above Mexico City. Suddenly, he finds himself on the balcony of his house, and two hours have elapsed.

Event 33953 (D3D3A0C1)

Date: 10/23/1972

Description: 6:30 p.m. Capt. Daryle Brown and two copilots are flying a Wardair airliner at 22,000 feet some 180 miles northwest of Churchill, Manitoba, when they see a bright streak of light approaching from the west. As it comes closer, it appears to be a bullet-shaped object larger than a Boeing 727 and adorned with a cluster of multicolored pulsating lights. Brown notifies the 15 passengers aboard and turns out the interior lights so they can see the object better. Almost a dozen portholes are visible, while red and yellow lights are flashing on the top. At the rear of the object is a fog-like cloud and orange sparks. It takes up a posit

ion about 2,500 feet in front of the jet and on the same flight path. The object shines a beam of light at the airplane, bathing it in light that is bright enough to read to, and stops in mid-air directly in front of the jet. Before Brown can take evasive action, it moves off to the right. A dense fog engulfs the object as it disappears in the distance.

Locations: Isla de Lobos; Punta del Este, Uruguay
Description: 10:15 p.m. Cpl. Juan Fuentes Figueroa and four other Uruguayan Navy seamen are stationed at the lighthouse on Isla de Lobos, off Punta del Este, Uruguay. Fuentes goes to inspect the electrical generators and discovers some odd lights, which prompts him to retrieve a handgun from his room. When he returns, he notices an object in the shape of an inverted bowl with several white, yellow, and violet lights on top of a 20-foot terrace. An entity is next to the object and two others (one much taller) are descending from the UFO. They all notice Fuentes and face him from about 89 feet away. He raises his gun to shoot but feels strangely paralyzed and confused. The beings reenter the UFO, which moves straight up emitting a humming noise. When it reaches a height of 150 feet, it tilts, belches a bright fireball, and silently disappears at tremendous speed to the southeast.

Event 33965 (1CAB5D98)

Date: 10/29/1972
Location: BELGIUM, Tirlemont
Description: (Translated from French) Between Beauvechain and Tirlemont, shortly after 11 pm, the Garin couple in their car were accompanied at 3 or 4° elevation by two blinking light points. At 11:30 pm Mr. Garin stopped the vehicle to observe better. They then saw that these blinking lights belonged to a dark, metallic gray, oblong-shaped object, stationary above an apartment building. The front was pointed and the back had a vertical fin with a blinking light at its end. The couple stayed for ten minutes observing this strange, silent thing that had two rows of square windows clearly visible and lit up with a yellow light. Then, very slowly, the object started moving west and the witnesses then heard a very faint whistling sound, like a muffled electric motor from a coffee grinder. As it moved away, it suddenly emitted 4 or 5 flashes of silver light that illuminated the bottom of the object. Then it disappeared into the night.

On this occasion, anthropologist Ashely Montagu states that other forms of life are likely more intelligent than ours, which may explain why they have not made contact with us. They may view us the same way we view rabbits or cholera. We should prepare to meet extraterrestrials and not wait until contact has been established to decide what to do.

Description: (Translated from French) In broad daylight, at 4:20 PM, in splendid weather. “It happened above my fish ponds,” said Georges Vuillien. (…) my eyes were drawn to transparent spirals that descended to the ponds. And there, at 50 m, I discovered this enormous thing, motionless at about 10 m high above the small chalet. I saw it from the side. It had a diameter of about 25 m. It was topped with a small dome of 2 to 3 m high. The disc itself was of a matte aluminum color. The dome was shiny like a mirror. No trace of an opening. (…) frankly I was starting to get worried. Around this motionless and silent machine, no shrubbery, no leaves moved. Not even when it started to move. (…) I was really scared stiff. Slowly it pivoted as if on a horizontal axis to turn on its side and take the shape of a disc. It rose slowly to about 50 m. It lasted 4 or 5 seconds. Then, suddenly it shot up to the sky, like a cannonball. It stopped at 10000 or 12000 m and was then the size of a grapefruit. After three minutes it started moving again. My legs were shaking, I had to sit down to recover." (November 2, 1972)

Date: 11/12/1972

Description: 8:00 p.m. Three soldiers (Petrus Nel, Fanie Rosseau, and Gerrie Buitendag) are guarding a petrol dump at Rosmead, East Cape, South Africa, when they see a red light moving in circles above the tennis court adjacent to the primary school. At nearby Middelburg police station, Sgt. John Goosen and Constable Koos Brazelle are looking towards Rosmead with binoculars and see an odd light above the town. School Principal Harold Truter sees the light moving vertically up from his home near the tennis court. The court is churned up with huge chunks of surface tar dug up, so he calls the Middelburg police about it. Goosen and Brazelle respond. There are 5 holes in the court, the largest 10 feet in diameter. Two spike holes are also found. The only entrances to the court are still locked up and there are no vehicle tracks inside or outside. A eucalyptus tree at the end of the court has suddenly begun to die and appears scorched. District Police Commandant Col. B. J. van Heerden unsuccessfully tries to duplicate the damage with shovels.

Event 34018 (62082A64)

Date: 11/28/1972
Location: CANADA, La Sarre (Quebec)
Description: (Translated from French) Witness: 1; Time: between 10:00 and 10:45 It was after a conference on flying saucers that I met the Mercier family from La Sarre. (…) Mr. Louis-Charles Mercier, forty. Mrs. Rose Mercier, forty. Marlene Mercier, 14 years old. Mario Mercier, 11 years old, the main witness. The incident concerns Mario, but the whole family collaborated in the investigation with remarkable spontaneity. (…) “I was then 9 years old. I had gone to have fun on the skating rink located 214 m from the house. Then, for no reason, at one point, I looked up at the sky. It was then that, with astonishment, I saw like a cloud descending towards the ground at a vertiginous speed and which landed close to the shed attached to the house, on the side of the kitchen. This unusual spectacle was becoming more and more interesting, but also frightening, when three small “divers” black and square in shape, with a grayish face and measuring about 1.20 m, came out of this round cloud. I saw one who hid behind the shed, another behind the solid cloud and the third, he, was picking up snow with some kind of small black boiler as black as the costume of the one who held it. I did not see any hands, the handle was hidden in the costume. The owner of the boiler stood up, because he had bent down to collect the snow and he rushed towards the chicken coop, forty feet or more from the house. He was about to open the small door when I shouted loudly “ouch!” He turned his face towards me and he ran towards me, frozen with fear. I felt a great feeling of anxiety rising in me, not knowing what could happen to me. So I took refuge in my net used to hold hockey pucks when they are thrown in that place. I may have stayed a minute. Then, I got up. The square man was heading towards the cloud not paying any attention to my presence, contrary to what I had believed at first. With his companion, he got into the cloud. What I found very strange is that only two of them got in. The other, I do not know what became of him.”.(…)

Event 34022 (5EFFCB78)

Date: 11/28/1972
Description: At 12.30 a.m. Alfonso Rey, age 62, was watching television in his home in Tres Arroyos, Buenos Aires province, Argentina when the TV picture went out. When he got up to check the TV he noticed a tall being seated in an armchair at the opposite end of the room, wearing a blue-green metallic coverall uniform, with helmet, boots, and a black belt with a box attached. The being stood up, and was at least 6.5 feet tall. Sr. Rey asked the being what he wanted, but got no reply. Rey touched the being’s hand, which felt cold and abnormally soft, “like foam rubber”. He could not describe the facial features except for the eyes, which “seemed to emit a silvery light.” Sr. Rey went into the kitchen, followed by the strange visitor, and he noticed that his refrigerator was not running normally. Sr. Rey also noticed that his visitor seemed to be walking on air. Next the being pressed some buttons on his belt apparatus, which caused an amber light to come on. Then he walked to the backdoor, and looking up at the sky pressed other buttons on his belt. The being went outside into the yard, then vanished into thin air. That afternoon, at 4:20 p.m. several patrons of a bar reported witnessing a similar looking stranger in the bar at the corner of Calle Alsina and Calle Pringles, in Tres Arroyos. Their descriptions matched those provided by Sr. Rey. They said the stranger walked into the bar’s bathroom and did not emerge.

Date: 11/28/1972
Description: In La Sarre, Abitibi, Quebec at 10:30 a.m. a nine-year-old boy, Mario Mercier, was alone on an ice skating rink on a sunny day when he observed a white, spherical cloud-like UFO land in a snowy field 700 feet away. Three four-foot tall, square-shouldered beings emerged, wearing black suits and black square-shaped helmets. One of them carried a small black “kettle” that he proceeded to fill with snow. He then walked to the Mercier family chicken house, and was about to enter when the boy cried out. He then turned toward Mario, who attempted to hide inside the rink’s hockey net. The UFOnaut walked back, and with one of the others, was seen to “climb” or levitate into the “cloud.” The UFO rose vertically swiftly. A 10 foot circle of blackened grass was left behind, with rectangular tracks in snow. It was two years before grass would grow again at the site.

Description: 11:15 p.m. A motor mechanic named Maxwell is out testing his vehicle in Murray Bridge, South Australia, when the engine dies and lights go out as he is coming over a rise in the road. The lights come back on but vary in intensity several times. He decides to stop the car. To his left he sees a “diamond shape with the top cut off” noiselessly sitting on the ground 148 feet away in a paddock. His car radio starts making a noise like a “computer on TV,” a constant rhythm. He tries the ignition key but nothing happens, not even the oil light comes on. He tries the wipers and the electric air horn but they do not work either. He locks all the doors and winds up the windows and just sits there for the next 45 minutes. After this time the object leaves, and he finds he can restart the car. An inspection of the vehicle the next day reveals no cause for the electrical problems.

Location: Dias d’Ávila, Bahia, Brazil
Description: 7:04 p.m. Fritz Abbehusen is watching TV in Dias d’Ávila, Bahia, Brazil, when his set experiences some interference. He goes out on the porch and sees a huge, round luminous object descending to a hill approximately 3 miles from his home. After a while, he goes to get binoculars, and with these he can see that the luminous shape is hovering a several feet above the ground. Its lower part is glowing like a neon light, while the upper part has a row of orange-red portholes. His wife Margarida and servant join him to look at the display. Suddenly, three blinking lights emerge from the object. One of these lights slowly moves in the direction of his house. After 15 minutes, the moving light has arrived within 165 feet in back of the house. Three small beings emerge from it, wearing what appears to be a one-piece suit of whitish or light-gray color. The beings keep their elbows close to the body when walking, as if on tiptoe, raising their knees exaggeratedly at each step. They go away, but the big object remains on the hill until around midnight. At one time it emits a beam that sets the brush on fire.

Description: (Translated from French) The crew of the Romanian ship Moldoveanu observed, at 60° North latitude and 61° West longitude, an object radiating quickly towards the boat flying over the sea. When it arrived above the ship, it slowed down and changed shape repeatedly. Its color also changed, from red to yellow and then to a bluish white, each time the shape changed from circular to elongated oval. After an hour of observation (so from 3 to 4 in the morning) the object jumped up and disappeared, becoming smaller and smaller.

Event 34072 (F80973D1)

Date: 12/30/1972
Location: ARGENTINA, Buenos Aires Province
Description: (Translated from French) At 10:30 PM, the 73-year-old witness was sitting 6 m away from the small shelter in which he lived and was drinking his “maté”. He had just finished his evening meal. Near him were his 4-5 year old dog and a cat with kittens. He was listening to his transistor when suddenly it stopped working. He then heard a loud humming, louder than that of an angry swarm of bees. He saw a light illuminating the whole region and distinguished a large floating object almost above his head at 10 or 20 m in height (…) At first only one figure was visible from the size of the head through a porthole, and then he saw a second occupant, and then others. He only remembers their slanted, fixed, deep eyes and a simple slit for a mouth. The object moved in all directions. On the tight-fitting uniform of one of the visitors he saw an emblem resembling a seahorse surmounted by a crown, next to it there were symbols on the right side. He saw a large number of instruments and dials. A blinding flash came out: this beam carried away the cat which disappeared on the spot. The humming became louder and the device became blue-green. In total the observation lasted only 20 seconds. The cat reappeared 48 days later, on February 16, 1973 and its back showed signs of burns and scratches. Different physical effects felt by the witness (having only two years of primary school): still under the device he felt tingling in his legs. This sensation lasted 2 days and only disappeared on the 3rd day. Three or four hours after the observation he had a terrible headache, which worsened, and for which aspirin was ineffective. This lasted eight days before gradually decreasing. At that moment the pains were also felt in the neck and neck. Eight to nine hours after the observation he had violent colic, up to 8 times a day. This diarrhea lasted eight days and it was then possible to cut it with Streptocarbocaftiazol. The first four days the colic were accompanied by nausea and vomiting. He lost his hair abnormally with each comb. Fifteen days after the observation he had red pustules in the neck that itched. After the observation the witness had difficulty speaking and could hardly move his tongue: this lasted 10 to 12 days. In addition, the eyes were crying, this lasted 5 days. (Perrin Jack R. “The Mystery of UFOs” - J’ai Lu / Pygmalion 1976, pp. 103-109, based on an article published by F.S.R.) Following a visit to Maceiras, from 19 to 21 February 1973, Romaniuk noted: “Since around 10 February, Maceiras has seen new teeth grow in his upper left gum. I can confirm that on the day of my visit, two front teeth and two side teeth were growing, and they already had two to three millimeters long”

Event 34075 (EE4A536F)

Date: 12/30/1972
Description: Ventura Maceiras, a 73-year-old gaucho, was sitting near his shack in Tres Arroyos, Buenos Aires, Argentina with his dog and his cat when his transistor radio failed. He then heard a loud humming noise, “like angry bees,” and looked up to see an object 70 to 80 feet in diameter hovering overhead. It was some 10-12 meters over a grove of eucalyptus trees, and it was emitting a powerful light. An enormous “wheel” was spinning around this object, which at first was reddish orange in color and then became purple. In its upper portion he could see a spherical cabin with two windows, and in one window was visible from the waist upwards a figure wearing dark gray clothing made of inflated “rolls,” joined together, similar to our astronaut’s space suits. On this being’s head was a helmet with a transparent visor and a tube that ran to a box on his back.

With a shower of sparks, the UFO tilted toward Sr. Maceiras, and he could now see a second occupant with identical features and clothing. Their eyes were slanted and their mouths were mere slits, and their faces were very flat. Behind them he could see a small flag or insignia showing a crowned seahorse followed by symbols resembling “S C Y” against a blue background. There was also a long instrument panel bearing “a lot of instruments and clocks.”

A powerful flash of light came from the underpart and completely enveloped the cat while temporarily blinding the witness. The humming grew louder, and the UFO changed color again to a blue-green, then moved away, sinking to a height of only 12-20 feet above the ground. It moved off toward the main road, leaving a strong odor like “sulphur or arnica.” Maceiras was not frightened—in fact he called out to the occupants of the object to come down and share his mate. After the encounter, his cat disappeared, to return only after 48 hours, her back still showing burn marks. She now shunned the site of her misfortune. The tops of the eucalyptus trees at the site were scorched. Maceiras himself experienced severe physiological aftereffects: diarrhea, nausea, hair loss, and severe headaches, all lasting about two weeks. He also had some trouble speaking, and his eyes watered for a few days. Six weeks after the event he was feeling better and in fact felt rejuvenated, and he began cutting a new set of teeth in his upper gums. These effects were to continue.

When leaving the small place, she saw through another window, three creatures about 1.2 meters tall, moving towards her house. They all wore a kind of monk’s robe and had a kind of pointed headgear. They moved in single file. The one who closed the small row, a bit taller than the other two, suddenly looked in Mrs. Vermeulen’s direction. Simultaneously the three little creatures turned around and disappeared from view. Mrs. Vermeulen was about to wake her husband, and in the bedroom, she saw through the other window, a large red ball suspended in the air about ten meters from the house. The diameter of this ball was around 5 meters. At the moment her husband woke up, everything disappeared, as if by magic.

Event 34127 (AFDA7D62)

Date: 1/10/1973
Location: FRANCE, Quarouble
Description: (Translated from French) At around 1 o’clock, Mr. Pouget (Pourain?) and Miss Donez were driving down Rue du Dauphin towards Blanc Misseron and the Belgian border. Near the stadium, a grey-white light was moving slowly. At first they didn’t think much of it. But when the light suddenly and intermittently projected intense beams of light, moved east, zigzagged, rose and fell, moved in a saw-tooth pattern, curved, arrived at Rue du Dauphin and directed its beam towards the witnesses, and then suddenly went out, the witnesses were scared. After regaining their composure, five minutes passed and the phenomenon appeared again. It no longer projected a beam: it was a square with rounded corners, with a dark curved vertical line, and a large halo around it, giving it the size of a house. A veranda was lit up by the phenomenon and the witnesses could see all the details. (vog: I suppose here we are talking about the details of the veranda and not those of the phenomenon).

Event 34170 (37CEA8A3)

Date: 2/4/1973
Description: While driving from Iron Knob to Kimba, South Australia on Route One, Brian Hunt and his passenger, Miss Sharon Kinckler, observed a red light at 9:50 p.m. approximately 32 kilometers northeast of Kimba. It was in a clearing to the right of the road. As they passed it, the two observed a red orange lighted area of rectangular shape, about 10 feet high by 5 feet wide, in which they saw a sharply defined man in a white spacesuit. The figure was of normal height and appeared to be of ordinary shape, but was suspended some 2-3 inches above the ground. He floated into the middle of the lighted area some 2-3 feet above the base. Brian called this to his companion’s attention as he accelerated past the scene, and Sharon was able to see the orange glow spread across the entire highway behind them. When they arrived at Miss Kinckler’s home in Kimba, they called the local police and a constable accompanied them back to the site. The light was gone and no traces were found. Two other independent witnesses were subsequently located by investigators. Mr. Allen Degnor, a Ceduna truck driver who passed by the same area at 10.00 p.m. described essentially the same phenomenon. Mr. Max Inglis, who had passed Brian and Sharon just before reaching the site of the strange phenomenon.

Event 34198 (9D643316)

Date: 2/19/1973
Locations: Inverness (Florida) Golf and Country Club; Homestead AFB [now Homestead Air Reserve Base] in Miami-Dade County; Homestead AFB; RAF Bentwaters [now closed] near Woodbridge, Suffolk; Biscayne Bay
Description: President Richard Nixon meets on the 18th green of the Inverness (Florida) Golf and Country Club with entertainer Jackie Gleason . Gleason has long been a fan of UFOs. He later becomes a subscriber to the newsletter Just Cause (Citizens Against UFO Secrecy). Gleason has a collection of 1,700 books on parapsychology, UFOs, and the unknown. Gleason’s second wife, Beverly McKittrick , says that Nixon took Gleason to a heavily secured area at Homestead AFB [now Homestead Air Reserve Base] in Miami-Dade County where he views the remains of small aliens in a top secret repository. McKittrick relates this story in an unpublished manuscript of Gleason called “The Great One.” Larry Bryant , editor of Just Cause, the newsletter Gleason had a subscription to, files a Freedom of Information Act request with Homestead AFB. Bryant requests documentation on the repository and Gleason’s visit there to see the alien bodies. Homestead replies that “no such records existed.” Bryant also sends an advertisement to the Homestead AFB newspaper soliciting information. The public affairs officer at Homestead denounces the Bryant advertisement and “forbade its publication.” At the same time Bryant writes Gleason providing him with a draft affidavit. He asks Gleason to execute the affidavit so it can be used as part of a growing accumulation of evidence Bryant is collecting in preparation for taking the government to court to release all information on alien crash retrievals. Gleason does not reply. Shortly before his death in 1987, one story says Gleason confirms the story about seeing the bodies at Homestead. The person who Jackie Gleason tells the story to is Larry Warren , who is a member of the Air Force Security Police at RAF Bentwaters [now closed] near Woodbridge, Suffolk, one of two bases in England where in late December 1980, three days of bizarre UFO incidents take place. Warren says that Gleason and Nixon enter a room with 6–8 glass-topped freezers. Inside “were the mangled remains of what I took to be children.” On closer inspection, he sees that some of the figures look old and injured. Gleason cannot sleep or eat for three weeks after the visit. The director of the Secret Service under President Clinton , Lewis C. Merletti , claims that the idea of a president escaping his secret service agents only happens in the movies. In response to a question by reporter Joan London about the possibility of the president escaping his protection to go out and secretly do something, Merletti claims, “all Hollywood. There’s no sneaking out. It has never happened.” Marty Venker, a Secret Service agent who worked with Merletti under Presidents Ford and Carter , however, tells a different story. In his book Confessions of an Ex-Secret Service Agent he explains that not only can the president disappear, but it has happened. Venker states that in the exact year of the Homestead incident with Gleason, 1973, Nixon tries to cut his secret service protection. Venker also states that it was not uncommon for Nixon to try to elude his Secret Service detail. The agents working on the Nixon presidential detail were warned about it. Nixon is familiar with Homestead AFB, which is only minutes from his Biscayne Bay compound. There is no proof that Nixon escorted Jackie Gleason to view alien bodies at Homestead, but everything checked out indicates it could very well have happened. It would have been very easy in terms of distance for the Gleason/Nixon alien event to have occurred.

Description: Night. Clearwater High School basketball coach Reggie Bone and five players on his team are driving back to Clearwater after a game. On US Highway 60 near Ellsinore, Missouri, Bone notices a “bright shaft of light beaming down out of the sky.” A few miles later, near Brushy Creek, student Randal Holmes notices another light, and Bone pulls over for a closer look. They see lights about 600 feet away from the road hovering over an open field at about 400 feet altitude. The lights seem to be portholes, each a different color: red, green, amber, and white. According to student Cary Barks, they watch it for 10 minutes before the lights rise up noiselessly and disappear over a hill. Around 10:00 p.m., Edith Boatwright of nearby Mill Spring sees a similar object flying low near her farmhouse.

Event 34210 (945A859D)

Date: 2/22/1973
Description: On the night prior to this experience, Mrs Maureen Puddy “heard a voice” calling her name. The next morning she perceived a message telling her to return to the site of her 1972 vechicle UFO close encounter. She contacted two investigators of the Victorian UFO Research group and drove with them to the site at Mooraduc Crossing, Victoria, Australia. On route she briefly saw a man sitting in the front seat of the car whom her passengers did not see. As she approached the spot of her earlier encounter, she saw the same figure standing outside the car, but the others again saw nothing. She reported that the figure was normal sized, wearing a white ski suit style coverall tucked in at the wrists and covering the feet. He had long blond hair. He beckoned to Mrs Puddy, but she did not respond; instead, she appeared to lose consciousness.

She experienced some kind of altered state of consciousness, in which she was able to describe to the two passengers in the car what she was seeing at the moment. She felt she was in a round room lit by an unknown source. The figure appeared in the room with her, and the room was shaped like a large mushroom with a stem at the bottom and a hemispherical dome on top. It appeared to have an inner hemisphere that appeared to be wobbling, and had what looked like hieroglyphics on it. She saw no doors or windows in the room, and became frightened; she started to cry and “woke up” with tears in her eyes, but she could recall nothing of what had just happened in her trance-like state. About a week later she was driving with her son, and was seated in the front passenger seat. The same “man” again appeared, sitting between them, but her son did not see him. His presence was accompanied by an abrupt change in the weather, which had been rainy. It suddenly cleared, and Mrs Puddy could see for miles. When the figure vanished abruptly the rainy conditions again prevailed.

Event 34218 (4CF917EB)

Date: 2/26/1973
Description: Helene, age 14, was riding the family snowmobile near McWaters, Quebec with her two brothers and seven other teenaged friends, all on snowmobiles, when at around 9 p.m. a giant “headlight” rose from behind them and flew over, illuminating the entire landscape. After it had gone, all the boys went off on a race, leaving Helene behind. The brilliant light source then reappeared and flew back over her. She estimated it was 60 feet in diameter. Suddenly its light went out, and Helene thought it must have been a plane that had crashed somewhere behind her. She turned her snowmobile around and drove back about 150 meters, then got off and walked toward a very large dark bulk that she could make out among some trees. When she was about 50 feet from it a small, cold hand came from over her shoulder and seized her by the chin, attempting to drag her backwards. Thinking it must be her younger brother playing a joke, she broke free and pushed her attacker back so that he fell down into the snow. Turning to face him, she saw a childlike figure smaller than her 13-year-old brother sitting in the snow. She ran back to her snowmobile and grabbed a flashlight, and turned it on the person who was now walking slowly toward her. She saw it was a being less than four feet tall, clad in a dark, close fitting uniform with a “plated” surface, and wearing a helmet covering the head down to the chin. A visor on the helmet reflected the light from the flashlight, and the being’s enormous eyes shone brightly in the light, like those of a cat. Terrified, Helene dropped the flashlight, ran to the snowmobile, and fled on it. She was joined by the other snowmobilers, who were returning for her. Her left arm was paralyzed, so she was taken to a doctor at Rouyn, who gave her a sedative. The next day several people went out to the landing site, where they found a large patch of snow melted down to the ground. It was 50 feet in diameter and shaped like a donut. Next to it were the footprints of two small bipeds, a few yards away from each other. The tracks were short and wide with a large protruding great toe.

Event 34248 (DA233010)

Date: 3/13/1973
Description: Jorge Roberto Herrera, an engineering student, saw a daylight UFO shaped like two plates put together rim to rim about 20 kilometers north of Salta, Argentina. It descended in a falling-leaf fashion until it was within a yard of the ground, then it settled in a tilted position beside the highway he was on. It was aluminum colored while it was landing, but turned color to a dull copper after in landed. It was about 3-4 meters (16 feet) wide. After three minutes some legs thrust out, which leveled the UFO. Then Herrera saw beside it a being 5 feet two inches tall, dressed in a white “diving suit” with an opaque helmet. The beings arms were cut off short without any hands. The feet were covered by the suit, with no other footwear. He did not see the entity emerge from the craft. It glided a few feet without walking, then vanished. A few seconds later the UFO retracted its legs, returned to an inclined position, and took off. Herrera was about 50 feet away from it at the time. He took what he thought was one step and found he was already standing at the landing marks, having moved 50 feet without any conscious memory. There were seven imprints at the site, nonsymmetrically arranged, covering an area of only about five feet square. A small truck came up and its driver said that he had seen the UFO and it had caused his engine and his radio to fail. This man drove Herrera, who now felt ill, to Salta. He entered a medical clinic there, where he underwent treatment for eight days without ever being told the diagnosis.

Event 34257 (27A72298)

Date: 3/20/1973
Locations: Tarcienne, Belgium; Florennes
Description: 7:15 p.m. Lucie Vandervoort is looking out a window of her house in Tarcienne, Belgium, when she sees a bright light approaching. It passes over the roof of a nearby house, then banks, makes a 90° turn, and begins to blink as it disappears to the east. Similar objects appear every 10 minutes, continuing until 9:15 p.m. The objects’ slow speed allows her to take photos. At one point she looks through her late husband’s World War I trench periscope and sees a humanoid figure dressed in shiny, tight-fitting clothes and standing in the front of one of the objects. Only one photo turns out and shows a squarish light against a dark sky. Analysis suggests that the objects were probably aircraft taking off from the military base at Florennes a few miles away, the humanoid figure was imaginary, and the photo was a blurry streetlight.

Event 34258 (BFA9C938)

Date: 3/20/1973
Description: Mrs. Vandervoort, who was living outside the village of Tarcienne, Belgium, went outdoors at 7:15 p.m. to close her shutters. She saw a white light pass over the roof of the nearest house some 100 meters away. The UFO approached silently from the direction of the nearby woods and moved toward the east. In the next hour, at intervals of some minutes apart, she saw a total of 25 similar lights or objects fly over at only 10 to 15 meters above the trees, moving very fast. With the aid of a telescope she observed in the front of one of these objects a “man” standing. He was handling a “board” and was just a “tiny” figure but “of great height.” He held one arm straight up. The witness reportedly took photos of some of the lights. “It was impressive,” she was quoted as saying, insisting they were not normal aircraft. She said she was familiar with aircraft because there is a Belgian Air Force Base northeast of her locale.

Event 34261 (758C8529)

Date: 3/21/1973
Description: On this night Brian Scott returned to the site of his 1971 alien abduction in Apache Junction, Arizona. He again experienced being taken aboard a UFO by the same nine-foot-tall entities as on the earlier occasion. This time he also encountered a short, squat being known as “The Host.” However, he believes the experience was projected into his mind, rather than a real, solid event. The voices of the entities “didn’t seem to come from their mouths.” He said that on this occasion he also found the pair of boots that he’d lost on his earlier encounter.

Event 34277 (BCC5B211)

Date: 3/24/1973
Location: Borgerhout, Belgium
Description: 7:30 a.m. Arthur de Weerdt is watching a distant airliner in Borgerhout, Belgium, when he notices another sunlit object pacing the aircraft at a higher altitude. Suddenly the object stops and remains motionless for about one minute, then moves at a greater speed, making an angle of 70° before coming to another wobbling halt for about 8 minutes. De Weerdt manages to take a color photograph of the object, which shows a whitish spot. Ballester Olmos and van Utrecht suspect the witness saw a weather balloon and that the photo is the result of a development flaw.

Event 34278 (D76FB8C3)

Date: 3/24/1973
Description: Therines, Oise, France - At midnight M. Brechant, his 11-year-old son Patrice, and his brother-in-law Mr. Cosme, were in a car on a dark night on a UFO hunting expedition. In a field near Songeons, France and some 250-300 meters away from the road, they saw a luminous ball whose light diminished in intensity. For a few seconds 4-6 white luminous rectangles appeared beside it. They tried to drive around the light and observe it from behind. A second luminous ball, likewise in the field, was about 200 meters away. A triangular beam of light emerged from its base, pointing toward the left. Through binoculars Mr. Cosme could see two luminous silhouettes of humanoid beings, one behind the beam and one “sliding on it” towards the point, where it disappeared. They seemed to have elongated heads and enormously broad shoulders. He could not distinguish arms and legs but the one behind the beam seemed to carry a sack on its left side. This silhouette gradually “evaporated.” The beam then went out, and then the ball disappeared. On their way home their car was pursued by a ball of yellowish-white light that turned yellowish-green at treetop level. The first saw it 300 meters away and it later approached to within 50 meters.

Description: Just after midnight Mr. Brechant, his 11-year-old son Patrice, and his brother in law, Mr. Cosme, were driving in a car on a dark night on a UFO hunting expedition in Therines, Oise, France. They spotted a luminous ball in a field near Songeons only 250-300 meters away. The light diminished in intensity, and for a few seconds 4-6 white luminous rectangles appeared next to it. Then next tried to drive around the field and observe the light from the rear. A second luminous ball was then seen in another field about 200 yards away. From its base emerged a triangular beam of light, with its base on the sphere and its apex pointing toward the left. Through a pair of binoculars Mr. Cosme could see two luminous silhouettes of humanoid beings, one behind the beam and one “sliding on it” towards the point, where it disappeared. They seemed to have elongated heads and enormously broad shoulders. He could not distinguish arms and legs, but the one behind the beam seemed to be carrying a sack on its left side. This silhouette gradually “evaporated,” then the triangular beam went out, and next the luminous ball turned off. On their way home their car was pursued by a ball of yellow-white light, then yellowish green light at treetop level, which was first seen 300 meters away and later approached to within 50 meters.

Event 34283 (6A43A36C)

Date: 3/26/1973
Location: AUSTRIA, Graz
Description: (Translated from French) It was 5:00 in the morning, Mr. A. was on his way to work (Puch factories in Graz-Thondorf). When he arrived at the Puntigam bridge, he noticed that the road and the air were lit up by a blue glow. He then saw an object gliding through the sky, just above the high-voltage line. The object was approaching at a constant speed, like a glider ready to land, its front pointed towards the ground. The object had the size of a medium-sized car, colored blue, ending in 4 or 5 fan-shaped points on a kind of parallelepiped (box) with rounded corners, and at the front there was something like a ledge. The witness on the bike pedaled faster, feeling a strange feeling of insecurity, so much was he taken aback by this apparition. When he arrived at a corner of the road, he looked around and saw the flying object close to the ground parallel to the road. That’s when he saw 8 or 10 fixed red points, like small domes emitting a very bright red glow that contrasted with the blue of the rest of the object. Suddenly, without any noise, it went out, leaving the area in complete darkness.

Event 34296 (FEE900EA)

Date: 3/29/1973
Description: Armando Silva and his wife, of La Salina, were at their country home at the seashore near Caracaya, Venezuela. On the evening of March 28th they had seen two elongated bluish objects high overhead. At about one o’clock at night they awoke to stifling heat inside their house. Mr. Silva went to the balcony and saw the two blue, capsule shaped objects they had seen earlier now flying near the shore. One of them dropped into the sea and re-emerged on the surface. It was then joined by the second, which bobbed on the surface nearby. Silva went down to the beach to get a better view.

At one of the small windows of the first little object that came down from the sky he saw a tiny figure like a five-year-old child. The craft was floating only a few meters from shore. “I was terrified when…I saw a tiny figure…wearing on its head what looked like a great gourd. I cannot say for sure that it was an intelligent being, since I only saw half of its body and its head, which, as I say, looked like a gourd. Nor did I see any arms. And I didn’t wait to see if it made any movements.” Sr. Silva turned on his heels and ran back into the house, where his wife was watching from the balcony. The two UFOs that had come down from the sky were still bobbing up and down in the water when he rejoined her. The incident lasted about 15 minutes.

Event 34303 (8F08C165)

Date: 4/1973
Locations: L5 point in the same orbit as the Moon; Epsilon Boötis; Arcturus
Description: Scottish author Duncan Lunan claims he has identified and deciphered a hidden radio message sent as long delayed echoes by an alien space probe that had been detected in 1927. Published along with an accompanying editorial disclaimer, Lunan maintains that the putative message comes from an object at the L5 point in the same orbit as the Moon, sent by the inhabitants of a planet orbiting Epsilon Boötis. He says the message reads, “Start here. Our home is Epsilon Boötis, which is a double star. We live on the sixth planet of seven, coming from the sun, which is the larger of the two. Our sixth planet has one moon. Our fourth planet has three. Our first and third planets each have one. Our probe is in the position of Arcturus, known in our maps.”

Event 34304 (9982D6EF)

Date: 4/1973
Locations: Southeast Missouri State University; Piedmont, Missouri
Description: Southeast Missouri State University physics professor Harley Rutledge hears of numerous reports of unidentified lights in the sky around Piedmont, Missouri, and decides to subject these reports to scientific analysis. He puts together a team of 620 observers with college training in the physical sciences, including a large array of equipment at 158 different viewing stations: binoculars, RF spectrum analyzers, Questar telescopes, low-high frequency audio detectors, an electromagnetic frequency analyzer, cameras, sound recorders, Geiger counters, and a galvanometer to measure variations in the Earth’s gravitational field. The resulting Project Identification commences in April, logging several hundred hours of observation time and 157 documented sightings over the next 7 years. This is the first UFO scientific field study, able to monitor the phenomena in real-time, enabling Rutledge to calculate the objects’ actual velocity, course, position, distance, and size. Observation of the unclouded night sky often reveals “pseudostars”—stationary lights camouflaged by familiar constellations. Some objects appear to mimic the appearance of known aircraft; others violate the laws of physics. The most startling discovery is that on at least 32 recorded occasions, the movement of the lights synchronize with actions of the observers. They appear to respond to a light being switched on and off, and to verbal or radio messages. Rutledge publishes a final report, Project Identification, on his field research in 1981.

Event 34306 (15CCB96D)

Date: 4/1973
Location: Carroll County, ARKANSAS
Description: Exact date unknown, likely April or May. One night, a woman searched on foot for her dog in a rural area near Berryville. She saw what appeared to be a silver helicopter sitting on an adjacent golf course. Approaching a clearing, she saw humans in white coats or uniforms, plus 2 non-humans she had encountered weeks before - all gathered over a horse which seemed to be in pain. She was spotted, ran through the woods, back by the golf course (the helicopter was gone). She was “zapped” with something, burning her, making her ill. This is the “Ordeal In Arkansas” case from STIGMATA #4(1978). At that time, it was not known that the event actually occurred in 1973.

Description: At 10:30 p.m. An orange ball of light was observed from a Cessna 150 by physicist Harvy Rutledge and one other witness at 2500 feet flying southeast of Piedmont, Missouri. The orange ball of light appeared on the slope of Clark’s Mountain, and disappeared when the aircraft turned toward it. A simultaneously identical light appeared to their right. When the aircraft banked again, the object turned and then shot straight up. The acceleration was estimated at 330 G’s. Also, a glowing ball or disc-shaped object was chased by two experienced pilots in a Piper Cherokee over Farmington, Missouri, the same night and at the same time as the Piedmont incident. The object gave off heat waves, and made no noise. it outdistanced the plane with a tremendous burst of speed.

Event 34342 (E21BF9D1)

Date: 4/15/1973
Description: During the late afternoon on the road between Manor and Penn, Pennsylvania twelve witnesses saw a disc-shaped object, between 35-60 feet in diameter, that came within 70 meters of a car, causing the car’s headlights to dim. During the night of April 15-16 more than a dozen witnesses reported observations of UFOs in the area of Penn and Manor, Pennsylvania, near the larger town of Jeanette. Among these was the report of a single witness who was driving near the Manor, Pennsylvania Power plant at 10:55 p.m. when he observed a large glowing object over the nearby railroad tracks. It was just above the trees, and the light from the object illuminated the immediate area with an intense white color. The witness pulled over to the side of the road and got out for a better look. The object, no more than a hundred yards away, was about 400 yards west of the power plant and approximately 10 feet above the trees. The object itself was completely illuminated but apparently solid in construction and about three car lengths in size. It had a dome like structure on top, which was the same bright color as the rest of the object. Around the main section were 2 or 3 rows of multi-colored lights, or square windows. One was whitish, the next red, and the third a blue or green hue. From the left side of the UFO a line or cord extended some 30 yards, and at the end of the cord floated a human form some eight to ten feet tall, similar to the “Apollo astronauts walking in space”. It was of a purple or orange color. The witness did not see the humanoid form retracted into the UFO; rather it disappeared like “a string of lights.” The witness had left his lights on and engine running when he got out of his vehicle, and he noticed that the headlights had dimmed to the strength of a weak flashlight. When the object departed, the headlights came back on as bright as before. The object made a high-pitched sound “like a spinning top” when it departed. “You could hear the trees blowing” as it went over them. The encounter lasted three to four minutes.

Event 34357 (EE2B342E)

Date: 4/25/1973
Location: USA, Enfield, Illinois
Description: (Translated from French) Late at night, Henry McDaniel was watching one last movie on television. A noise reaches him, someone is scratching at the door. He wonders who it could be at this late hour. He gets up and goes to open the door. There, an indescribable being is looking at him. It measures between 1.20m and 1.50m. It has three legs, a hunched body, two small arms coming out of its chest and its two pink eyes the size of a flashlight reflector are fixed on McDaniel. The dark grayish creature tries to enter the house. Horrified, McDaniel does not give it the chance. He rushes to his gun and without warning, he opens fire. With the first shot he has the sensation of having hit it, but he notices that the monster does not seem to be any worse off. With a wild cat hissing, it jumps in three bounds and covers a distance of at least 25 meters. It then disappears behind the steep slope of the railway line in the bushes.

Event 34373 (C9853BB4)

Date: 5/1973
Locations: Norton Air Force Base; San Bernardino, California, International Airport; Holloman AFB, New Mexico; Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio
Description: A series of meetings takes place between USAF representatives (Col. William T. Coleman and Col. George Weinbrenner) and two well-connected Hollywood figures: documentarist Robert Emenegger and producer Allan Sandler . The colonels encourage the pair to make a documentary on the UFO phenomenon and the question of extraterrestrial life. Not only will they have the military’s full cooperation, they will also have access to their files, including those of the Department of Defense. Upon arriving at Norton Air Force Base [now San Bernardino, California, International Airport] the two men are immediately taken to a “clean room used by the CIA,” designed so that “there was no way anyone could eavesdrop” on events taking place inside. Here the proposal takes place, including the promise of using 3,200 feet of a 1971 UFO landing footage at Holloman AFB, New Mexico, that shows several of the “alien visitors” and their meeting with the representatives from the US government. Paul Shartle, chief of requirements for the Norton AFB audiovisual program, promises to get the Holloman footage. Emenegger is told that the military is monitoring signals from an alien group that their extraterrestrial visitors know nothing about. At the last minute, permission to use the film is withdrawn, though Emenegger and Sandler are encouraged to describe the Holloman landing as something that might happen in the future or could have happened. Emenegger goes to Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio to talk to Weinbrenner, who while haranguing about the need to find out about Soviet Mig-25s, hands Emenegger a signed copy of Hynek’s The UFO Experience.

Event 34374 (C1066AB8)

Date: 5/1973
Description: USAF Col. William T. Coleman and Col. George Weinbrenner allegedly meet with Hollywood documentary filmmaker Robert Emenegger and producer Allan Sandler and encourage them to make a documentary on UAP and its extraterrestrial origin. They are told they’ll have the government’s full cooperation and exclusive access to classified footage of a UAP landing in 1971 at Holloman AFB, NM. Coleman and Weinbrenner claim the film shows “alien visitors” and their meeting with members of the U.S. government. Emenegger is told there are multiple extraterrestrial groups and the military is monitoring at least one other group the Holloman entities don’t know about. After pre-production, permission to use the landing film is withdrawn.

https://web.archive.org/web/20190622183540/http:/www.presidentialufo.com/old_site/disclosure_72-75.htm

Note: This story is alleged but if true, highlights the Air Force’s attempts to shape public opinion through mass media and possibly “disclose” UAP on the USAF’s terms in 1973. It is curiously similar to meetings with USG officials, Lockheed Martin personnel and Clinton campaign personnel in 2016. Those meetings led to the formation of To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science with former USG employees and contractors from the intelligence community in 2017 whose release of three UAP videos shaped mass media.

Event 34395 (BA94A389)

Date: 5/12/1973
Description: At 9:20 p.m. a man driving west on Route 76, near Kent, Ohio observed a group of flashing lights overhead almost directly above his car. They moved with him until he stopped out of curiosity, and so did the lights. Looking up through the windshield he could see a football shaped object that flashed from red to blue to white in a repeating cycle. He then saw a human figure materialize 10 feet below the object. The figure was clad all in silver, and descended rapidly to the roadway directly in front of the car. When it reached the pavement the figure stood looking to the right, then to look directly at the witness. After a half a minute the figure ascended rapidly, “like a helium balloon,” towards the object. It vanished before reaching it.

The figure was entirely silver in color and seemed to lack hair and ears. A narrow mouth with a small pointed chin were also observed. He was uncertain whether the silvery body was a close fitting garment or the actual skin color, because he saw what appeared to be the faint outline of a vein running down the inside of one of the arms. The feet were clad with boots or shoes, with a heavy, distinct line between the sole and the boot itself. The height of the figure was not much more than 2.5 feet. When it descended it was approximately ten feet in front of the car. The UFO shot up in a rapid vertical ascent, rocking the car “as if a semi was passing.”

Event 34408 (1B440E7A)

Date: 5/15/1973
Description: At around 4:00 p.m. Fay, a 7-year-old girl, was with a boy about her own age on the golf course in Sandown, Isle of Wight, England when they heard a wailing siren at around 4 p.m. They followed it through a hedge into a swampy meadow, where the noise ceased. As they were crossing a brook by a footbridge a strange figure came out from under the bridge. This person fumbled with a book, dropped it in the water, retrieved it, and then went with “a strange hopping motion, with knees raised high” to a metallic “hut” with no windows.

The being was nearly 7-foot tall and neckless. He wore a yellow, pointed, hood with a black knob on top with “wooden” antennae or horns on the sides, and a green tunic with a red collar. “His face had triangular markings for eyes, a brown square of a nose and motionless yellow lips.” Other round markings were on his paper-white cheeks, and a fringe of red hair fell onto his forehead. “Wooden slats” protruded from his sleeves and from below his white trousers. There were only three fingers on each blue-gloved hand and 3 toes on his bare, white feet. The being took from the hut a black knobbed microphone, into which he spoke to the children, now 50 meters away, saying “Hello, are you still there?”

Since his tone sounded friendly, they approached him. He then wrote in a “notebook”, in a large hand, “Hello and I am all colors, Sam.” Talking without the aid of a microphone, his lips did not move, and his speech was unclear. They asked about his clothes, which were all ripped, and “asked if he was really a man.” “No”, he replied, with a chuckle. When they asked if he was a ghost, he answered “Well, not really, but I am in an odd sort of way.” “What are you then?” they asked, but he replied, “You know.” He also said that he had no name, and “confided that he was frightened of people.”

At his invitation, the children crawled through a flap into his hut, which he told them he had “just made.” It contained two levels. The lower, which “had plenty of headroom”, was “wall papered” in blue green and covered with a pattern of dials; there was an electric heater and simple wooden furniture. The upper level, less spacious, had a metal floor. He told the children that he fed on berries, and drank the river water after cleaning it. He said he had a camp on the mainland. Inside the hut he removed his hat to reveal round, white ears and sparse brown hair. Before eating a berry, he performed an “odd trick” with it; he placed the berry in his ear, where it disappeared and reappeared at one of his triangular eyes.“repeating the process, the berry traveled to his mouth.” The children talked to this being for at least half an hour, then rushed across the golf links to tell the firs man they had seen a ghost.

Date: 5/16/1973
Description: In the mid-afternoon an anonymous man “who enjoys an excellent reputation in Bahia” was walking through his property by the river in Parafuso, Bahia, Brazil carrying his shotgun, when he heard a soft humming. Then a man about 5 feet 3 inches tall appeared in front of him. He wore a brownish gray, tight-fitting coverall, with metallic colored boots and a wide belt with a very large blue buckle. His face and his hands, which had long fingers, were pallid white, his ears were small and pointed, and his head “larger than ours.” This man, speaking in Portuguese, told the witness not to be afraid and to put away his gun, saying that he was “not of this world-I come from a planet that you people call a satellite.” He also said that his ship was hovering a few yards above them, invisible to the eye. Then he said, “Good bye, brother, I must go” and pushed a white button on his belt buckle. At this a beam of light shone on him “and then drew away, carrying the man with it”, he disappeared a few yards above the man’s head.

Event 34431 (8664E6EE)

Date: 5/22/1973
Location: BRAZIL, Catanduva (Sao Paolo)
Description: (Translated from French) At 3 o’clock in the morning, Onilson Patero, a 40-year-old employee, had dropped off a passenger in Itajobi and was continuing the journey home to Catanduva. The car radio had strong interference, the engine was stuttering at the same time as an intense blue light began to sweep through the interior of the car. As the vehicle jolted, a blinding but lower light source startled him as he saw his engine in great detail: the hood and dashboard seemed to no longer exist, as if he was looking at it with X-ray eyes. He then stopped the vehicle. Inside, the heat was so intense he was suffocating and he opened the door. Then he saw the object hovering 10 meters above the ground, 15 meters away from him, emitting a turbine buzzing sound. It resembled two hats stuck together, without any structure, and from a single source it emitted this intense light. Then a kind of tube descended from the lower part and a semi-transparent veil covered the craft: the witness no longer felt the heat or lack of air. (…) He lost consciousness. Around 5 o’clock in the morning a policeman found him unconscious in a stream near the road, 30 meters away from his car parked on the side, doors open and headlights on. The man was taken to the hospital. Inside the car, the briefcase had been opened and the documents it contained were scattered. Physiological effects: brown hair had become completely black, yellow pigmented spots on the body. (Inforespace n° 11 - p. 36, 37 - 1973 - SOBEPS) Finally he was seized by such panic that he left his vehicle and ran, head down, into the nearby forest. After running about thirty meters, he felt a mysterious force pulling him back like a spring. Desperate, he tried to free himself from the lasso he thought was holding him prisoner, but his hand did not encounter any tangible link. When he looked towards his car he noticed other unusual transformations. This time the witness was so terrified that he lost consciousness.

Event 34433 (296A96DE)

Date: 5/22/1973
Description: (Translated from French) Mike Shea is driving his car when suddenly, a beam of light illuminates a barn located about 50 m from the road. Silent and surrounded by flashing lights, a large UFO appears. Anxiety begins for Mike Shea once the beam turns off as he believes he can feel something approaching behind him. As the UFO flies over him, he feels an electric shock along his spine. He eventually reaches Olney, his destination, but discovers with astonishment that he took 2 hours more than expected. After a decade of nightmares and diffuse malaise, Mike Shea decides to call Budd Hopkins, the famous specialist in abduction cases. Hypnotic regression sessions allow him to remember the abduction he suffered after being flown over by the UFO. He suddenly saw on the side of the road 4 strange entities: 3 of large size (about 1.80 m) and one smaller. They looked like large elongated insects, as if wrapped in a dark plastic armor, and stood upright on their rather arched hind legs. Their two pairs of front legs were used to grasp. Their head was rounded and their eyes globular. He was taken inside the UFO where he underwent various more or less traumatic examinations. (On a Friday, 7 PM)

Event 34438 (6F1FF7DF)

Date: 5/22/1973
Locations: São Paulo, Brazil; Catanduva
Description: 3:00 a.m. Onilson Pátero, an organizer of public libraries for the State of São Paulo, Brazil, is just outside Catanduva, after giving a ride to a stranger. First his car radio gets static and the engine begins to fail. Suddenly he notices a blue circle of light about 8 inches in diameter moving around inside his car. It passes in front of the dashboard and he sees it is transparent. Then a beam of blue light shines on him from the top of the hill he is driving up. He pulls over to avoid a collision, but the light keeps coming toward him. Overcome by a sensation of heat and stuffiness, he steps out of the car and hears a buzzing noise. The UFO is a gray structure about 25 feet thick and 36 feet wide, resembling two soup plates attached rim to rim. A tube stretches out from its base toward the ground. Pátero panics and runs about 100 feet when something holds him back. Turning, he sees that a rod of blue light from the UFO is moving above his car. The light seems to make the car transparent, allowing him to see the contents of the trunk, the wheel gears, the engine, and the interior of the body. Pátero faints. An hour later, two young men drive by and see him lying on the ground in gushing rainwater. They speed on into Catanduva and return with a policeman, Clóvis Queiros. Turning Pátero over, he regains consciousness and they take him to the hospital, where he is soon released. However, the next day he feels an itchiness on his back and stomach. Irritated patches of his skin turn purplish blue. Later, these spots turn yellow and eventually disappear. Subsequent medical examinations show no cause for the discoloration, and Pátero seems in good mental health. He experiences another encounter on April 26, which some investigators think might be a fantasy.

Event 34439 (76340E50)

Date: 5/22/1973
Description: Sr. Onilson Patero, a 40-year-old salesman, was driving home to Catanduva in Sao Paolo, Brazil during a rainstorm. He had given a lift to a young hitchhiker and had dropped him off at Itajobi. At around 3:00 a.m., about seven miles from Catanduva on Highway 321, his car began to lose power and his car’s radio filled with static interference. He noticed a circle of light moving about inside his car and he pulled over to the side of the road, thinking a truck was about to pass. He then saw a hovering object about 50 feet ahead and 40 feet above the road, and at the same time the interior of his car began to heat up. Patero felt a lack of air so he opened the door and stepped out. A “curtain of light” began to form around the object, and the heat and lack of air diminished. He could now see that the object was not a helicopter. He next saw a “tube of light” hit the car and, as it did, the car became transparent. He fainted. About an hour later two young men found Sr. Patero laying in the mud and rain. He recovered consciousness, crying out “they were trying to get me!” He was taken to a hospital in Catanduva and later released. Over the next several days he suffered physical ailments of an unknown cause. Eleven months later Patero became the principal experiencer in an abduction event in which he vanished for five days, turning up again in Colatina 700 km away. Under regressive hypnosis he described one of his abductors as the same individual he had given a ride to in this case.

Event 34440 (ADFCECE2)

Date: 5/22/1973
Description: At eight a.m. Manuel Angle Gonzalez was driving a six-ton truck loaded with asbestos sheeting, cement, and steel, and he was in the vicinity of the town of Cintalapa in the State of Veracruz, Mexico when he noticed five little figures standing in the road ahead of him. They had their arms raised in the air, and they seemed to have appeared from nowhere. He slammed on the truck’s brakes and came to a stop only a short distance away from them. At first he thought they might be children, but close up he could see that they were perfectly proportioned adults but only two feet tall. They had light brown skin and black hair, but he couldn’t recall any details about what clothing they were wearing. As he got out of his truck the little figures began to scatter to the sides of the road, disappearing into the underbrush along the highway. When he turned to go back to his truck he saw it suddenly engulfed in blue flame, and in a matter of 30 minutes the truck and its normally non-flammable contents were reduced to ashes and fused metal. Two other motorists stopped to witness the conflagration. According to the witness, two days after the fire metal fragments that had been collected from the site spontaneously burst into blue flames and were likewise reduced to ashes. The witness compared the appearance of the little beings to stories of little people from Mexican folklore, called the Chaneques. Investigators later learned that two more trucks were similarly destroyed and that in one case, UFOs were seen.

Event 34453 (2EA61882)

Date: 5/27/1973
Location: São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, Brazil
Description: 2:00 a.m. A Mrs. Geni, 57, is preparing some wedding cake at her home in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, Brazil. Through her balcony window she sees a reflection of some kind in her walled-in backyard. When she goes to her porch door, she sees a flying object hovering above the roof of one of the rented buildings on the ground floor in the back some 50 feet away. The object is white-metallic and luminous on the bottom, about 6.5–13 feet wide and 3–6 feet high, with a kind of credenza behind which three entities can be seen. They are small with large round heads, big eyes, protruding lips, dark brown skin, small ears, long flat noses, small arms, and wearing a cap with a ball in the center. Each holds a device like a flashlight that emits a beam of different colors: green on the left, red in the middle, and orange on the right. The object emits a noise like a motor as it sways above the building, then after a few minutes it moves away beyond the horizon. Mrs. Geni goes back to work, but she now has pains in her knees, legs, and head. She screams in pain, and the young woman who rents the building in the back arrives to help. She also has heard the motor noise and confirms that Mrs. Geni’s face is swollen with bloodshot eyes that last for 3 days. At about 5:00 a.m., Mrs. Geni suffers a prolapsed uterus, for which she has to undergo surgery on June 8. She gradually loses hearing in her right ear, her vision deteriorates, and spots appear on her skin. A clock in the kitchen begins to behave erratically. In the backyard, a dwarf coconut tree and a jabuticaba tree both lose their leaves prematurely.

Event 34455 (E3038DAD)

Date: 5/27/1973
Description: Sao Jose Do Rio Preto, Sao Paulo, Brazil - Geni Lisboa was busily baking wedding cakes early in the morning at 2:00 a.m., when her attention was drawn outdoors by the squawking of her pet parakeet. When she looked out she saw a luminous flying object approaching her property. The object circled her garden and hovered above the wall. Ms. Lisboa, only a few meters distant, could see three identical looking figures of small stature through the transparent upper portion. They were behind a kind of “parapet” which hid them from the waist down. Each one was directly a beam of light down as if searching for something. Then their beams simultaneously converged on the witness, immediately paralyzing her. Feeling some pain and dizziness, she was nevertheless able to call out for help to her neighbor, but the object departed before she was able to respond.

When her neighbor arrived, she found Ms. Lisboa’s face swollen and her eyes bloodshot. Her body was painful, particularly in the joints and especially in the knees, but she continued working until the pain returned and she was forced to call her neighbor again. Her physiological symptoms worsened and she was hospitalized for what the doctors labelled a prolapsed uterus. She had had a gynecological test six months before and had been healthy. In addition to this, her eyesight worsened after the experience to the point where she was forced to wear corrective lenses for the first time in her life. Also, her previous medical condition of hypertension seemed to have made an improvement to the degree where she was able to drop all previous anti-hypertensive medication.

These characters immediately fled as soon as the witness stopped the truck to examine them closely. He searched for them for a few minutes without seeing them, and returning to the truck he saw that it was surrounded by gigantic blue flames producing no heat. In a few moments the truck and its load were destroyed. This strange fire had spared the plastic of the seats, the paint of the doors, the fuel tank…

Event 34464 (401B00AD)

Date: 6/1973
Description: Great Lakes Naval Base instructor RK states a UAP was shot down by the US Navy with a surface to air missile, retrieved from the ocean and taken in secret by rail to the Great Lakes Naval Base under heavy guard. RK states he guarded the object in Chicago and it was shot down in the Pacific; it was in a large quonset hut. While on guard, he was approached by an officer in a jeep who handed him a sealed envelope for the Commandant in the hut, to which he saw a metallic craft, 30 feet long and 10 feet high resting on a wooden platform.

It was light silvery blue and shimmering, tapered like a tear drop with a flange running along its topside from one end to the other and there were no windows. RK states he heard it was shot down by a missile between Hawaii and the mainland in June 1973, and was picked up on a destroyer’s radar and made three close passes. RK states he heard the object was retrieved by a Glomar Explorer, shipped to Hawaii, and then sent Stateside and to Chicago.

Outside, her horse is going berserk. Suddenly, the light is gone. The next day, she finds the horse frothing, and it had apparently been running around the house during the night. This takes place in the middle of a concentration of UFO reports in the area.

Event 34498 (F411FEC8)

Date: Summer 1973
Location: USA, throughout Pennsylvania
Description: (Translated from French) As this is a report grouping 118 separate testimonies of encounters with unknown creatures, the date and location have been generalized. Each report differs somewhat but all have certain details in common. The common thread of the reports is the encounter with one or more hairy creatures, resembling monkeys, with glowing eyes, prominent ears, large noses, carnivorous teeth and long arms. Where Gordon was able to take footprints, they were very large. The encounters usually took place in wooded areas or near rural villages. During the observation of these creatures, domestic animals usually remained calm, but in the period before and after, animals and small children were very agitated: cows mooed, dogs barked, children cried all night. These creatures have often been seen in association with UFO sightings, seen entering or exiting a UFO, and occasionally telepathic messages from these creatures have been reported. On three occasions the witnesses shot at them from close range, which caused the instant disappearance of the entity, in a flash of light. (1973, Summer)

Event 34507 (15E09966)

Date: 6/23/1973
Description: At midnight Roberta T. sighted from her Phoenix, Arizona patio what first appeared to be a star. It descended from the sky until it came much closer and appeared to be a large, illuminated spherical object, hovering in a spot just above some trees beyond her patio. As it hovered, a square opening appeared on the side facing her, like a “garage doors opening.” Illuminated brightly from within, she observed a human-like figure approach the opening from one side, cross over, and then bend down to do something. When she uttered an exclamation he abruptly looked up and out at her and peered directly at her, leaning out of the opening. He was visible from the knees up and wore a tight-fitting garment. When he dropped his head down to look at her she could see that he was tall, with a large head and with hands that appeared to be busy working instruments. She next heard a humming sound, and saw a second, smaller object approaching to her left. It passed a post on the patio and abruptly disappeared. She then looked back toward the first object and found it too had vanished. She then fell asleep and when she came to later, found herself lying in a different position.

Under hypnotic regression, she described seeing the same figure appear before her on the patio. She then describes in vague uncertain terms how she was told not to be afraid, and then “taken somewhere” by being floated upwards. She recalled seeing a dog that had been constantly barking also floating in the air. She was in some dark “enclosed” place where she couldn’t see and an instrument of some sort was placed on her head, which made her uncomfortable. There were others around her but she “felt” them rather than saw them. She had the impression they were “talking” to each other in a language she could not understand. She also had the impression there were two people present. When she awoke on the patio, it was some 4 or 5 hours later.

At one point a small light joined the first object.

Location: USA, Murphysboro (Illinois)
Description: (Translated from French) A little after midnight, Randy Needdham and Judy Johnson were parked in their car on the boat dock of the Big Muddy River. Suddenly a shrill cry. Looking up they saw, coming from who knows where, a huge giant walking heavily towards them. He stopped six meters away. He seemed white, with short hair plastered with the mud of the river. He was of very strong build and measured about 2 m. The witnesses fled to go and warn the police, who found traces.

Event 34522 (C63CD60D)

Date: 6/28/1973
Locations: University of Missouri; Columbia, Missouri
Description: 12:30 a.m. University of Missouri animal care technician James G. Richards, 41, and his daughter Vanea, 16, hear a loud, persistent, thrashing sound outside their house trailer in Columbia, Missouri. Richards moves to the window and sees two bright, silver-white light beams about 5 feet apart from each other and 50 feet away from his window. The beams disappear, and a glowing bright oval form appears, about 12–15 feet in diameter, lighting up the area. The thrashing sound is apparently made by trees moving as if blown by wind, and after the oval form appears, this sound suddenly ceases. As Richards moves from window to window, he notices his dogs lying very still near the corner of the trailer that is nearest to the oval object. The dogs are large security animals that are not easily frightened. Richards thinks it strange they are not barking at all the noise and the bright lights. The object moves away to 200 feet from the window and hovers, and now, less bright to the eye, the witnesses can see a blue band of light and an orange glow extending around the outer edge of the oval. The oval moves back near its original position and disappears by growing smaller before police arrive at 1:45 a.m. Later searches uncover broken tree limbs, damaged foliage, scorched leaves up to a height of 35 feet, and impressions on the ground as deep as 2 feet.

Event 34526 (37F39C06)

Date: 6/30/1973
Location: CHAD, in flight
Description: (Translated from French) The Concorde piloted by André Turcat was flying over Chad at 17000m altitude and Mach 2, on a scientific mission: observation of the solar eclipse. Jean Begot, a technician from the CNRS, was taking pictures. Upon development, one of the photos showed a bright point in the night of the eclipse. (15 km from the plane) Upon magnification, this “star” took on the size of a flying saucer. This bright point had been observed by the entire crew: planet or saucer? (Robert ROUSSEL: “OVNI, the end of the secret” - Belfond 1978, p. 20) IN REALITY: According to Pierre Guérin, a well-known astrophysicist and an experienced ufologist, the bright spot has absolutely nothing mysterious about it. That day at 11:12, the swarm of Beta Taurid meteors was indeed passing over the equatorial African zone and was therefore clearly visible. René Fouéré from GEPAN thinks it was a development fault, such as one caused by the presence of a small air bubble.

Date: 7/1973
Location: CHINA, Changchun (Jilin)
Description: (Translated from French) It was a day in July 1973, at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly we observed an object flying from north to south, in our direction. Its speed was slow and no sound was heard. Looking at it more closely, we noticed that it resembled a large shuttle and that its two ends were pointed. Its entire body was transparent like glass. In its front part there were lights inside as bright as an electric arc. The middle and back were divided into four floors with portholes neatly arranged like those of a large boat. At 7000 meters altitude, it seemed enormous to us. If it had landed on the ground, it would have been at least as high as a two-story building. Throughout its journey over our heads, it made no noise. We immediately alerted the other fighters of the barracks and everyone came out and looked in amazement. (…) Our observation lasted in all five or six minutes. The object disappeared in the distance. (July 1973)

The cottage was being bathed in a strong blue light. Going outside, Jarmo saw a blue light “twice as big as a row boat” approach from over the lake. It stopped and hovered offshore. The light seemed to radiate from a kind of “jelly,” glowing in an unusual manner. Jarmo thought he could see a strange being inside the light. The next thing he remembered he was lying on the porch of his cottage porch at about 6:00 a.m. He had lost track of four hours of time.

Event 34553 (FDC104C3)

Date: 7/9/1973
Description: 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.

Date: 7/10/1973
Description: At 8 p.m. a supervisor at the Goshen, Indiana rubber plant was called outside by one of his men who had been smoking a cigarette. The man pointed up and to his left, and they both saw an unidentified craft moving very slowly from the northwest to the southeast. There were a number of downward slanted windows in the craft and they could see several humanoid figures moving about inside. Some appeared to be peering down out of the windows. The background behind the figures was red, making the figures look like silhouettes. The unusual thing about the craft was that it made a bobbing motion as it moved… They watched the UFO for about 10 minutes until it drifted out of sight.

Then a woman comes in and the entities begin moving around and touching him. He is paralyzed and can only move his eyes. He is then taken to another room and directed to sit on a chair as the UFO lands in the spot where he had been before. He then leaves the object and watches it take off. He picks up his camera and photographs the ground traces.

Event 34595 (1491A539)

Date: 8/1973
Location: BRAZIL, Nova Friburgo (Rio)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 2pm, Edmond Cardoso, working at Fazenda Velha, heard a rustling in the leaves 20m away from him: through the leaves he saw a sparkling ball near a bush whose leaves were agitated (even though there was no wind). As he got closer, he noticed that the object was floating 50cm from the ground, that it was a ball 2m in diameter of a blue-aluminum color with a nearly blinding shine. The object was horizontally encircled by a dark green band and at the top of the ball emerged a vertical cylinder 4-5m high and 50cm wide. The cylinder was finished with a funnel-shaped form also 4-5m high. This object rotated on itself in 2-3 seconds and swayed with an amplitude of about 50cm. Cautiously, he stepped back a few paces when he heard a clap, like a metal door. He turned around and indeed saw in the lower part of the ball an opening about 1m high and 60cm wide and saw at the same time that the thickness of the wall was indeed 5cm. In the frame appeared 30 seconds later a being of human appearance that was floating outside 50cm from the ground, completely dressed in black from feet to head, except for the details that were ash-colored: the wrists and hands were smooth, the shoes 20cm long, 5cm wide and 3cm thick, a band around the neck 6cm wide, openings for the eyes and mouth. The fabric was of the bubbled kind, like several juxtaposed half-spheres. The being was connected to the craft by two transparent cables 5cm wide coming from the shoes towards the inside of the UFO. In 5 strides it advanced 3m towards the witness who, terrified, ran away. (1973, August (a Tuesday))

Event 34603 (63F10F70)

Date: 8/1973
Locations: West Seneca, New York; San Antonio, Texas
Description: 10:30 p.m. Three people are sitting in their front yard in West Seneca, New York, when they hear a low hum coming from an object above their garage. It is a silvery half-egg with glowing orange-and-blue overtones. It begins a slow descent toward the roof, and when it is only 5 feet away, one of the witnesses yells for it to stop. The object stops, hovers briefly, and shoots away straight upward. One of the witnesses hears the same hum at about the same time two days later, and the same object appears, moving down the street. The object is only 3–4 feet above the pavement and covers the width of the road. The witness approaches it, and it stops at the end of his driveway. He walks toward it and gets only 4–5 feet from it without feeling any heat. When his dog barks, he backs away. The object waits a moment, then slowly moves 20 feet down the street, quickly rises, and vanishes rapidly at a 45° angle. (Michael D. Swords, “Unusual Experiences from the Timmerman Files,” IUR 27, no. 2 (Summer 2002): 23–24) Between August 3–6 — Night. A woman and her children are watching the stars in their backyard in San Antonio, Texas. Two “very perfect” cumulus clouds move into view low above them. A perfectly round sphere with a green glow slowly emerges from the top of the cloud on the left. Soon they see lightning going back and forth from the two clouds but never toward the ground. One lightning bolt hits the sphere and red sparks fly out, whereupon the sphere slowly reenters the cloud. The clouds remain stationary for 35–40 minutes until the sphere disappears, then they float on.

Event 34615 (21B63C38)

Date: 8/4/1973
Description: A week to ten days after observing a mysterious light maneuvering in the sky, the witness had to return to Phoenix and she asked her brother to go along with her for company. At around ten o’clock on this night, while driving up a hill somewhere in the vicinity of Indio, California she began to receive pictures in her mind and had a sense of presence. These “images” came in grays and browns, and she tried to counter them by thinking of bright colors. She found the gray images unpleasant, and had the sense of an interior, with gray green walls, which had three vague “forms” in it. Believing she was daydreaming and tired, she forced her concentration back to her driving when she noticed colors reflecting on the dashboard and asked her brother if there was something in the sky. Both of them briefly observed a light over the highway changing colors from blue, to green, to red, to yellow, and then to a brilliant white. Then it vanished. It was in view for less than a minute.

Her brother was very excited. The trip continued and seemed to be uneventful. However, later under hypnotic regression she was asked to examine her image of a gray interior more closely. She described the gray-green walls, with at least one black line, or slot, on the back wall. She was with three vague shapes or shadows. It didn’t feel like a pleasant place, and she felt she had had another such experience at another time. She was asked to go back to that experience and she found herself in another room with a window looking out on an orange sky. There was a white bench in the room, and the room seemed very sterile. Then she found herself in a huge place with a domed ceiling, and she was standing beside a 20 foot high crystal, set at an angle so that it pointed towards the sky. It was green on the bottom half and it revolved. There were other similar crystals in this place, about five in all, and they were hooked up to a large piece of machinery that was similar to a generator. The crystal was connected to the machine by a rod. The whole room hummed. There were two other people with her; one dressed in gray, looking older with grayish hair. The younger man, wearing black, is taller. They pointed out a formula to her, which was on the wall. It was composed of script letters. She was brought out of the trance and given a post hypnotic suggestion that she will recall the formula and be able to reproduce it on a piece of drawing paper, which she does.

Date: 8/21/1973
Description: At 2:30 a.m. a woman was alone in her bedroom in Derry, Pennsylvania and had her bedroom window open with the drapes closed. She awoke with the feeling that someone was watching her. She turned her head and was horrified to see a hideous face staring at her from the window. The creature was over nine feet tall and had dark oval eyes with no whites nor eyelashes. Apparently it had pushed the drapes aside to look inside. The creature moved back awkwardly as the witness moved. Her daughter also saw a huge shadow on the wall from a figure outside. A strong odor like rotten meat persisted after the creature had gone.

She had been sleeping but awoke to observe a bright egg-shaped object on the ground off to the left side of the road. Walking towards an open door was a normal sized figure of human appearance. A second occupant was seen seated inside the object, through a squarish window. He was looking up at something in the craft. As the truck drove past the light rapidly faded until by the time she got the driver to stop only a single white light was visible in the distance. Both figures wore white silvery suits. She said she had been awakened by a “voice” just prior to her observation.

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 reply, he then asked, “Will you come back?” The answer was “Yes.” Another member of the group followed this man into the copse, where he vanished while the witness attention was diverted for a moment.

Description: Kent, Litchfield County, Connecticut - At 10:30 p.m. two 17-year-old boys were driving north on Route 7 from Westchester County, New York to Connecticut and saw a large oval object with flashing colored lights when they were several miles south of town. The object hovered just over the ridge on the west side of the Housatonic River, and they stopped and got out for a better look. They were joined by another couple, a boy and girl also driving back from Westchester to Connecticut. Meanwhile on Spooner Hill, in Kent, Connecticut to the east, a witness on his way to visit his friends, a young married couple, saw the same object and when he arrived at his friend’s house, he called them outside. By this time the object had dropped behind a ridge, although they could still see its lights shining over the crest of the hill. They got into the witness car and drove down the hill to Route 7, where they met the four younger people. All seven then drove north into town to bring back two additional witnesses. The large object was no longer visible, but they now saw a dozen or so smaller whitish lights maneuvering in a circular pattern just this side of the ridge. These lights then separated into a single line and proceeded north toward Mt. Algo, just southwest of the main section of Kent. The witnesses got into their cars and followed the lights toward Kent. The two additional witnesses were dropped off in town while the other seven turned west on Rte. 341 and crossed the bridge over the river, heading toward Mt. Algo. There they turned south on Schaghticoke Road, which runs along the base of the mountain, to Bonu’s Field, an open spot about a mile south. The group assembled there briefly but was unable to see anything. Meanwhile, at about the same time, a separate group of three teenage girls, camping out in a backyard along the Housatonic, observed a line of lights descending Mt. Algo on its steep, north side. The witnesses at Bonu’s field had gotten back in their cars and drove north again to the junction of Rte 341, where they discovered a small parked white car that had not been there a few minutes earlier. They parked their cars and the two younger boys got out and asked the occupants of the white car (two unidentified girls) if they had seen anything unusual. They said that they were waiting for a group of hikers who had told them an hour earlier that they were “hiking over the mountain” and that the girls should meet them there.

Just then a group of 15 to 20 “hikers” came jogging down Schaghticoke Road from the same direction the young people had just driven (they had not seen anyone on the road). Each “hiker” had a lighted hat like a miner’s hat on his head and they all carried poles or “rods.” They were mumbling or “chanting” and approached in a double column. They did not answer the boy’s questions as they passed on either side of them, when asked where they’d come from. According to the young people, the “hikers” apparently turned right at Route 341 and headed towards Kent. However, when they all got back in their cars and drove after them, the “hikers” were nowhere to be seen–as though they had disappeared into thin air. According to the two young men and the younger couple, there were at least two hours they could not account for. The three older people could not recall what they did or where they went after the “hikers” passed them. Hypnotic regression was attempted, but the results are not described.

When the driver blinked the headlights off and on, the object reproduced the same signals. The driver stopped the car and he and some passengers then got out, waving their arms. The object was very close to the ground and appeared to be about to land. They resumed their trip and after awhile the object, which continued to pace them, beamed a light in their direction. One of the passengers said she had the impression something or someone was trying to contact her mentally.

Date: 9/14/1973
Location: BELGIUM, Cuesmes
Description: (Translated from French) It was 7:45 PM, night had just fallen, Mr. Plume was driving his daughter Sonia to Mons. “Suddenly, at the exit of a bend, we saw in front of us on the left of the road an immobile object at about 200 m of height, almost vertically above an electric cabin, at less than 200 m from us. It was like a flower pot of the size of a small car, with at its upper part a kind of saw of which one could only see the teeth. At the extremities of this part two short oblique antennas. The whole was of a vivid orange color. Four dazzling yellow lights on the antennas and at the base of the object were twinkling. The upper part under the teeth was more clear and blurry, yellow-orange. The teeth were brownish. An orange clear and blurry halo was crowning the object between the antennas. It was animated by light vibrations. A few seconds later, arrived at the height of the electric cabin, the object inclined towards the right and moved away towards Ciply. Its light was decreasing in intensity and its contours were fading.”

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.

It then hovered silently overhead. They could see three lighted windows and behind them several occupants were inside and they appeared to be looking down. They were described as having large oblong shaped heads that seemed too big for their thin necks. They appeared to be leaning on something, and their long skinny arms were crossing each other. The craft suddenly turned off its lights and ascended quickly out of sight.

Location: Romford, Essex, England
Description: 9:00 p.m. Anne Taylor is walking to her farm in Romford, Essex, England, after walking her three dogs when she sees a green light near the cowshed. She continues watching the light, which starts moving toward her slowly. Her two terriers are whining and cringing. The light approaches to within a few feet of her, about 12 feet above the ground. It is completely silent. Her watch has stopped, and her spine begins to tingle. She hears a jet plane in the distance, and the light goes out. She hears an “electric whirring” and the green ball shoots straight up. Her dogs return to normal behavior, and her watch starts up again when she returns to the house.

Event 34785 (DE05BCA5)

Date: 9/20/1973
Location: PORTUGAL, Alija-Vila Réal (Oporto)
Description: (Translated from French) Between 10:30 PM and midnight, Serge Ribeiro Lisboa, Maria Filomena Costa Lisboa, and Maria Carmela Santos Costa were travelling together in a car. Near Sao Laurenço and Tua, they heard an unusual buzzing coming from outside the car, and a faint light moving to their right. The driver stopped and all the passengers got out. They then saw a white, luminous object, like a disk, emitting a powerful red light from its upper part. These flashes allowed them to see part of the structure, which appeared to be metallic, light aluminum. The object was small: 2 m in diameter, 1 m high, and seemed to be at 300 m altitude. Feeling uneasy, the witnesses got back in the car and continued their journey to the town of Alija. There, the engine had some difficulty with its speed, for no apparent reason, and they heard the buzzing again, with a sound of modulated, brief cadence, without any light being seen. After a journey of 4 or 5 km, they saw an unusual object in the headlights on the road. A strange cylindrical object emitting a bright green color. The driver slowed down, fearing it was some kind of explosive, and narrowly avoided the object. At the same time, the passengers saw two human forms lying on their backs on the embankment. They were wearing lead-silver colored suits, were 1.5 m tall, and had spherical helmets with a horizontal rectangular window at eye level and an antenna 50 cm long emitting red glows at its end. The observation was brief. Frightened, the driver accelerated and as the car passed the cylindrical object, the two humanoid forms rose from the ground, in a rigid manner, without any movement of their arms or legs. The witnesses then saw a kind of backpack on the backs of the humanoids as they rose and disappeared above the car. [vog: to note that of this observation in Portugal, I have absolutely seen nothing in the list of Portuguese ufologists themselves!]

Event 34794 (DC448D5A)

Date: 9/20/1973
Description: Julian Garside was riding home from work at night on a friend’s motorbike near Halifax, Yorkshire, England when the two young men saw three bright triangular lights, or shapes, gliding uphill through the woods near the road. They stopped and, out of curiosity, decided to follow. The shapes sped up and the boys noticed an odor like burning oil. When they reached the top of the hill, a quarter mile from the road, the figures had vanished; above them, however, they observed a small, round orange light, like a road-crossing beacon. It vanished in about a minute. There had been no path through the woods, and the three objects (or figures) appeared to glide straight through the undergrowth, leaving no traces. The odor of oil was the only trace left behind.

lane flies up over the side of the road and hovers above some trees. Then it changes into a cigar shape with lights. The driver gets out of his truck to watch. The cigar moves off then returns with a new, round shape. It lights up with many multicolored lights and moves above a nearby house. It makes a low, “loop-loop-loop” thumping sound. Then a large, bright, square light descends and swings from the other object. It approaches the truck, then swings back and forth. He tries to jump back in the truck but apparently passes out. He later notices he has some marks on his hip and shoulder. He does remember seeing the UFO change from a round shape into a triangle, and then move out of sight.

Event 34805 (098C7DEA)

Date: Autumn 1973
Locations: Francis E. Warren AFB Golf launch control capsule missile site northwest of Sidney, Nebraska; LCC India, southwest of Sunol, Nebraska
Description: Late night. 1st Lt. Walter F. Billings is a deputy crew commander at the Francis E. Warren AFB Golf launch control capsule missile site northwest of Sidney, Nebraska. Over UHF radio, he hears the crew at LCC India, southwest of Sunol, Nebraska, order its security guards to investigate an alarm at one of India’s 10 launch sites. The guards find that the inner security alarm has also been triggered, meaning that something has penetrated the security fence surrounding the site. They find a large, bright UFO hovering above the site. One minute later, the UFO moves off slowly for several thousand feet then zooms off at a high rate of speed. All crews on duty that night are told not to say anything to the public or media about anything they heard on UHF radio that night.

Event 34817 (C2F0A7EE)

Date: 9/26/1973
Description: The main witness was a young woman who was walking through a local park in Actinolite, Ontario, Canada along with some friends during the evening when a strange heavy mist enveloped the area. They saw what seemed to be a silvery glow coming from the center of the mist. and the witness felt strongly attracted to it. As she got closer she saw a beautiful silvery object on the ground. She described it as a “starship.” She went inside the object and saw several of her friends being led towards different sections of the craft. She was taken to a large circular room of a transparent blue color with two transparent doors at each end. The occupants of the UFO were all apparently human or human-like beings and beautiful in appearance. Through a large window she saw a woman sitting at a communications console. The witness sat on a chair in the center of the room and ate from a bowl of fruit on a table. A man entered the room and walked into what appeared to be a circular shower stall and removed some dirty coveralls. When the stall lit up the man then emerged wearing shiny clean coveralls. The witness felt that she had experienced some type of mind control onboard the object, which changed her life.

Event 34819 (6F85602B)

Date: 9/27/1973
Location: FRANCE, Bédarrides (Vaucluse)
Description: (Translated from French) Antoine walked to a small clearing to pick mushrooms. It was 5:30 PM, the sun was already low, the sky covered with a few clouds, not a breath of wind. He noticed a large “mushroom nest” and bent down to pick it, but when he looked up he saw two “children” coming out of the bushes 30 m away from him. He called them to come pick mushrooms with him. But they were not children: they were small people 1.2 m tall, with regular and fine features, wearing a beret, dressed in a tight beige jumpsuit, their hands were bare, but Antoine did not see their feet, hidden in the grass. Yet one detail struck him: they had no ears. At Antoine’s call they looked surprised, emitted a kind of laugh, then disappeared into the bushes. A few seconds later, an oval shape, gray-blue matte, without visible opening, rose from behind the bushes. It measured 5 m long and about 2 m wide, it rose to 20 m, dragging the dead leaves up to 6 m from the ground. It remained motionless for a brief moment, then flew horizontally at a dizzying speed towards Mont Ventoux. All this was done without the slightest noise, except for a slight whistle during the vertical ascent. There were traces on the ground at the supposed landing site.

Event 34825 (4B1A1A1E)

Date: 9/27/1973
Description: At around 5:30 p.m., while picking mushrooms in the woods on Mont Real in Bedarrides, Vancluse, France, the witness observed a four-foot-tall dwarf standing at the edge of the clearing some 100 feet away. As he grabbed something from the ground a second identical-looking being joined the first one from the woods beyond. They looked human and wore beige coveralls that covered up their wrists and neck; their feet were obscured by high grass. Their arms were slender and their hands normal. Each wore a black beret on his head. Thinking they were children, the witness called out to them, whereupon they laughed aloud, then turned and fled into the brush behind them. A few seconds later, the witness saw a dull bluish-gray oval-shaped object, about five meters wide, rise up beyond the trees and ascend to a height of 20 feet, making a slight whistling sound. There it paused briefly, then departed toward the northeast rapidly and in total silence. At the landing site, a bush and some grass had been flattened, suggesting that the UFO had been hovering a foot or so above the ground.

Event 34826 (49C3728C)

Date: 9/27/1973
Description: Two girls were standing outside in Beaver County, Pennsylvania at 9:30 p.m. when an eight-foot tall being covered with white hair and with red glowing eyes ran into the woods nearby. The humanoid was carrying a large luminous sphere in its hands. The girls ran off hysterically into their house. The father of one of the girls then went into the woods in search of the creature and stayed there for over an hour. When he returned he refused to talk about what he had seen in the woods. During the period of time he was in the woods several people watched a silvery object hovering over the woods. At one point it emitted a beam of light into the woods.

Event 34838 (A89CE06B)

Date: 9/30/1973
Description: The witnesses, Claude Champoux, Florent Papillon and a man called J. R. were camping near a lake–Lac-aux-Bleuets, Quebec, Canada–when they heard a loud engine sound coming from a nearby field. When they went to look the men spotted an oval-shaped, metallic object on the ground. The UFO was silvery in color and emitted flourescent-like orange lights that changed colors to blue, and red. A strange humanoid figure, metallic or robot-like in appearance, stood next to the object. It was wearing either a reflective metallic suit or was itself made out of metal. The being’s body emitted bright silvery flashes. While on the ground the object emitted a sound resembling that of a transformer. Soon the strange character disappeared inside the object, which then rose up, moving up and down like a yo-yo, it then accelerated and disappeared at high speed. They estimated the craft to have been about 600 feet in diameter.

Date: 10/1973
Location: USSR, Baikonour
Description: (Translated from French) The same scenario was repeated in October 1973, during the Yom Kippur War between Arabs and Israelis. This time the means employed were much more important, in proportion to the stakes. Eight satellites were launched in two weeks, the first three (Cosmos 596, 597, 598) were recovered after 6 days of observation. For the others, the delay ranged from 7 to 13 days. (October 1973)

Event 34841 (5F1E64E4)

Date: 10/1973
Location: FRANCE, Nohant en Gout (Cher)
Description: (Translated from French) George Chubert was on his way to work on his moped. It was 5:30, still dark. His engine had some hiccups in a slight curve and stopped. He resumed his journey pushing the moped. As he came out of the curve, he was blinded by a strong bright white light and a few meters further he could make out a bright shape blocking the whole road. He was scared. He was completely terrified when he saw a being approach him and put his left hand on his right shoulder. “Where are you going?” the being asked. “To work” Chubert replied. “I’ll be back” said the other. “But now don’t look at what I’m going to do”. Real exchange or telepathy? In any case, Chubert obeyed and turned around. A few seconds later the craft flew away with a “buzzing of a bee swarm”. 3m.

Event 34842 (FD93D29B)

Date: 10/1973
Description: (Translated from French) In the October issue of Pursuit, Hubert Malthaner, after a long investigation into the metal cube discovered in 1885, indicates that the famous “cube” had never actually disappeared from the Salzburg museum (as was believed in 1910), since it had in fact always been in the Vöcklabrück regional museum (Austria). He supports his claims with a photograph of the cube, showing that it is far from being as artificially-appearing as it had been proclaimed. He finally indicates that an analysis carried out in 1986 (1886?) at the Vienna Natural History Museum had established that the object was simply a mass of cast iron. Finally, it also seems that the cube was not found in a mine but by a worker from a foundry who was breaking coal blocks

Event 34851 (C748ED48)

Date: 10/1973
Locations: Dyess AFB; Abilene, Texas; Offutt AFB; Bellevue, Nebraska
Description: Night. Sgt. Michael D. Jenkins of the 96th Security Police Squadron is stationed at Dyess AFB southwest of Abilene, Texas, when a major alert goes off at the base after a large ball of light is reported hovering 100–150 feet above igloo bunkers housing nuclear weapons. Twelve police with M-16s are sent to the Weapons Storage Area, and an incoming C-130 is asked to do a fly-by of the area to get a look at the object. Three K-9 teams that normally patrol the perimeter report that their dogs are afraid and acting up. An order to fire on the object comes from Strategic Air Command Headquarters Offutt AFB near Bellevue, Nebraska. Jenkins hears gunfire and sees a bluish-white streak as the object speeds off. As it leaves, it drops a trail of “angel hair” all the way from the weapons area to the southwest perimeter of the base. The angel hair hangs around on the area ropes and buildings for three days. On the third day it rains and the material dissolves, completely disappearing.

Event 34852 (D7B06401)

Date: 10/1973
Description: Sgt. Michael D. Jenkins, 96th Security Police Squadron at Dyess AFB, TX worked security over nuclear-armed B-52 bombers. The base had a nuclear weapons storage area as well. Jenkins states he and his squadron were ordered to draw arms from the armory and patrol after a large spherical UAP was seen over the weapons storage area. Jenkins states he heard an order to “move it out of the area,” afterward hearing gunfire and seeing a “streak of bluish-white light moving at high speed” out of the base. “It was the UFO getting out of there,” he states. Jenkins and others were told not to speak about the incident under penalty of court-martial.

Jenkins states the next day he saw a Top Secret teletype that chemical analysis had been done on a thin, strand-like physical substance recovered outside on the base property. Neither Congress nor the American people at the time were aware that physical evidence was being recovered after UAP events.

The doctor examining the glasses said a terrible heat had expanded the frame and one of the lenses had fallen out. The truck driver was treated for his burns and did not start to see again until several hours later.

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.

Description: A man was driving on the Simi Freeway in Simi Valley, California during the afternoon when he saw a 30 by 350 foot triangular object in a dust cloud near the road. It was 80-100 feet away and was swaying back and forth 10 feet above the ground. An eight-foot hose dangled from the bottom of the object. A clear bubble three feet in diameter swiveled atop the UFO. As he watched a being crawled around from behind the machine, looked at the witness, and then scrambled out of sight. The humanoid was of normal stature but wore a silvery type of wet suit. The bubble began rotating faster and disappeared inside the object, which emitted a whirring noise. A fog enveloped the craft, which then disappeared.

Event 34904 (65AB2C57)

Date: 10/5/1973
Description: At 3:35 a.m. Helen Hoag of North Miami, Florida–who had previously seen mysterious multi-colored lights outside her window–decided to make an attempt to communicate with them using telepathy. Moments later she unexpectedly found herself inside a circular control room, onboard a V-shaped craft. A beautiful tall blond woman greeted her. She wore shiny pale-blue pants, a jeweled scarf, and a headband. The woman introduced herself then a taller man wearing a silvery white suit appeared and introduced himself as the captain. There was a metallic pole in the center of the craft that flashed in multi-colored hues of light; and it seemed to be part of the flight control mechanism. She was taken to a soft contour chair and given a peach-colored liquid to drink. She was later shown a huge viewing screen on which she was given different messages.

Event 34905 (D0C0A01F)

Date: 10/6/1973
Location: CANADA, St Mathias de Chambly
Description: (Translated from French) At around 12:45am, the R.N. couple saw the light of a large projector about 500m away, sweeping the ground of their land. The husband assumed it was the police looking for cattle thieves reported in the area. At around 11:35am, while hanging laundry behind the house, Mrs. R.N. saw a thick smoke on a wet, plowed land. She called her husband, as this smoke in that place was rather unusual. In the same direction, the witnesses saw a yellow-orange dome about 25m in diameter with blurry edges, as if submerged in the fog. The object was 500m from the ground and a yellow-orange “bulldozer” emerged from it and moved away 65m from the large machine, to the edge of the stream near its source. Then there was a back and forth of 5 small figures, 1m tall, wearing bright orange suits, moving quickly, very busy and as if in a hurry to finish a job. The small craft moved again following the stream and stopped 100m further. The observation lasted between 20 and 25 minutes, but the witnesses went about their business, coming to see from time to time “if the children” were still there! At around 11:55am everything had disappeared. The witnesses’ daughter went to see on the spot and found a large circle 18m in diameter and a smaller one 4m in diameter, where the grass was flattened and burned in some places. As soon as she was back home, she was taken with headaches and vomiting.

Event 34912 (9D64DA5A)

Date: 10/6/1973
Location: St.-Mathias-sur-Richelieu, Quebec
Description: 12:45 a.m. A couple strolling along a country road near St.-Mathias-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, see a bright light like a projector emanating from a nearby field. Later, at 11:30 a.m., the woman is hanging clothes on a line in her backyard when she notices a column of smoke rising from fields in the north. She calls over two workmen doing repairs at her home, and they see a yellowish object like a tent near the smoke. Soon a square, yellow object resembling a bulldozer emerges from the tent and travels about 180 feet to a small spring. Between the two objects, moving around in the field, are five “little people” about 4 feet tall performing various actions. Assuming them to be boy scouts, the witnesses notice they are wearing some kind of helmets and clothing that is the same color as the tent. The witnesses return to their work and 20 minutes later someone notices that the objects and figures have disappeared. The couple’s daughter returns in half an hour and goes to check the location. She finds a large, circular patch of burned and crushed grass about 45 feet in diameter, as well as two tracklike marks, each about 6 inches wide. Returning, the daughter feels ill with headache and nausea. A month later, UFO investigators arrive and find additional marks in the shape of a triangle.

Event 34913 (C7F53316)

Date: 10/6/1973
Description: Shortly after midnight a married couple in St.-Mathias-de-Chambly, Quebec saw bright lights on their property. Later that morning they observed a dome like a “tent” about a third of a mile away. A second, smaller object emerged from it and moved across the ground to a distance of about 200 feet from them. Five figures of small stature, wearing bright yellow garments and helmets, moved quickly back and forth between the two objects for a time. When the witnesses next looked, both the objects and the humanoids had vanished. Ground traces were found at the sight the next day consisting of three rectangular imprints arranged in a triangle with 34 foot sides. There was a 50 foot in diameter circle of burnt grass, and a second circle 12 feet in diameter next to a spring. The daughter, who investigated, subsequently suffered from nausea and headaches.

Event 34938 (1296EA4D)

Date: 10/10/1973
Description: Fifteen objects with colored lights buzzed rooftops in New Lebanon, Ohio at 7:30 p.m. By 8:00 p.m. there had been at least 15 different sightings of UFOs “covered with red, green and blue lights” reported in southwestern Ohio, zooming about at tree-top level. Most sightings occurred between Dayton and Cincinnati, and were all classified as “unofficial” reports by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base officials. None were detected on radar, apparently because they were flying too low. A New Lebanon Township, Ohio police officer reported his sighting shortly after 8 p.m. “He didn’t want to say he saw it, but he said it,” Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputy Michael Sullivan reported. “The officer said it was oblong and covered with lights. It appeared stationary in the sky about treetop level for several minutes until he tried to shine his cruiser spot light on it,” Sullivan said. “It then zoomed toward him and then shot straight up in the air… after he turned out his light…and disappeared.” Sullivan said the UFO sightings lasted from a fleeting moment to twelve minutes. “They would be behind the trees and come up and fly away…as if you startled it or something,” he said. A spokesman at Wright-Patterson AFB said there would be no attempt to investigate the sightings unless there was an “imminent danger.”

Event 34940 (EBC2D296)

Date: 10/11/1973
Location: USA, Pascagoula
Description: (Translated from French) Charles Hickson, a 45-year-old shipyard foreman, and Calvin Parker, 19, were fishing on the banks of the Pascagoula River (in the town of the same name - Gulf Coast of Mexico) at around 7:00 PM when they both noticed an oblong shape emitting a bright blue light. The object was already very close and was descending towards them, making a humming sound. Suddenly, an opening appeared and three pale, reddish beings floated out of it. Without having to use force, they grabbed the witnesses by the arms: two of them took hold of Hickson, the third of Parker. They felt themselves being lifted off the ground and guided towards the opening of the object. From then on, the young Parker could not remember exactly what happened to them. Hickson recounts that inside there was a white luminescence without a visible source. He floated like the beings and stayed there for between 20 and 30 minutes, under the gaze of what looked like a large eye. Various instruments that he could not identify were visible, but there were neither seats nor windows, only this opening. He was unable to move, scared to death. The humanoids moved around him and he was apparently observed by an electronic device. In the end, the creatures brought the two men back, still floating, to where they had found them. These beings, about 5 feet tall, did not seem to be dressed. They emitted a faint humming sound. According to Parker: they looked like ghosts, were naked and their skin was wrinkled. Hickson estimated the dimensions of the craft to be 14 feet long by 8 feet wide. It suddenly disappeared. The witnesses were convinced that no one would believe them, but after reflection they decided to alert the authorities. The police officer declared: “they were so scared they were on the verge of a heart attack”. The men were interrogated again and again in the following days and gave another part of the observation under hypnosis.
