Description: 10:42 p.m. According to radar operators at Kincheloe AFB [now Chippewa County International Airport] south of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, more than 20 radar targets appear and disappear over the middle of Lake Superior over an 80-minute period, tracked at speeds of up to 2,000 mph, sometimes turning at sharp right angles and involving separation and merging of distinct targets. Radar at Duluth, Minnesota, has also picked up the targets. The Colorado project sends John Ahrens and Norm Levine to investigate. They check out rumors of visual sightings at Sault Ste. Marie, but these do not conform to the radar trackings. At Duluth, they draw a complete blank with denials all around.

Locations: Hospital da Baleia; Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Description: 10:50 a.m. “Fábio Jose Diniz,” 16, is walking along an asphalt path near the deserted grounds of an isolation unit at Hospital da Baleia on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He notices an object in an adjacent football field. It is shaped like a mushroom with a domed top and surrounded by a row of portholes and a thick central “stalk” in contact with the soil. A hazy screen like a force field drops around the object, and a door appears out of nowhere and slides upward along the column. Two humanlike figures, 6 feet tall, emerge, dressed in one-piece diving suits of greenish material and helmets. One of them carries a tube-like implement, and the other has a probe sticking up from his helmet and talks to Diniz in Portuguese, telling him not to run away. He starts running anyway, but the figure tells him to come back the next day or they will take his family. The figure reenters the UFO, which takes off vertically. He sees psychologist and UFO researcher Hulvio Aleixo, who says he is in severe shock. At the landing site, police find some foul-smelling black material that crumbles easily. This is examined by geophysicist Roberto Murto, who finds it is made of iron, magnesium, and silica. An impression like a large footprint is also found. Aleixo subjects the boy to psychological testing and he finds no disorder. The UFO fails to return the next day.

Description: (Translated from French) Strange creatures are observed in the glow of an elliptical shaped light. They are observed near a barn, and howl, like the wind, when they are caught in the beams of headlights. The silhouettes, run on human legs, towards the object which fades away. Around 9pm, two young girls at the window of the upper floor, see a large light come above a large tree, at some distance. The light appeared as big as a Volkswagen. At a few hundred meters distance, it was white and became red, dancing up and down. Alone at home, the young girls were scared. Then they heard noises in the barn a few meters from the house. It was like a coffee grinder that someone was trying to start. Looking in that direction, they saw three dark creatures, about one and a half meters tall, at some distance, standing near the mailbox. On the hill the glowing ball still shone. It was at this moment that a car arrived. The creatures started to run towards the bushes and the light on the hill went out."

Event 29496 (B1B39A93)
Date: 9/18/1967
Location: ROMANIA, Danube Delta.
Description: (Translated from French) I was on the ferry-boat Tulcea - Sfintul-Gheorghe, on the starboard bridge, it was 8:30 pm. A light rain was falling from the uniformly cloudy sky and it was very dark. At 8:45 pm the clouds changed color, very high above me and became luminous with a red fringe all around. Suddenly, without any noise, a luminous object appeared, shaped like a frying pan with its tail. It was going west. It stopped abruptly at 500 or 600 m from the boat and at perhaps 200 or 300 m in height. It was swaying, a bit like the flame of a candle. The disc seemed to be 5 to 6 m in diameter, as well as the tail whose base was half the size of the disc and which was getting thinner and thinner towards the end. The disc was a dark red, more precisely a garnet. At its periphery and the elongated part of the tail it had the color of methane when it burns. Globular sparks were ejected from the tail but they disappeared as soon as they came out. I was stunned, if not scared. After staying there for about four minutes, the object slowly pivoted around an axis without making any noise, then returned to its initial position. It then resumed its advance on my left parallel to the surface of the water pointing its tail towards the west. Then it stopped again after covering 200 to 300 m. Finally it disappeared into the clouds, still without a sound and without having made any lateral maneuver. The object had described a total U-shaped trajectory. I then looked at my watch again: it was 8:52 pm

Date: 9/22/1967
Description: In Caracas, Venezuela a horse trainer was awakened on this night by the presence of an intruder who first tugged at the trainer’s pillow, then grasped his arm tightly. As the man tried to sit up, the attacker encircled his neck with its arm trying to choke him. A horse in the nearby stables began neighing and the attacker let go and fled. The man screamed for help and was found to have several cuts and abrasions where he had been scratched by claws or sharp fingernails. A short while later another stable worker heard a horse acting up again, and as he approached the stall a small figure about the size of a boy, 3.5 feet tall, “zoomed” out of the stall and was gone in seconds. The figure was described as a hairy dwarf, and looking like a chimpanzee or monkey. The horse was skitish for several days following the incident.

Arriving at the deserted stretch of Calle Neuquen, they saw a strange machine hovering above a vacant lot, less than a meter from the ground. It was a saucer. At the same time, the car lights went out and a powerful spotlight lit up the strange craft. Before they could realize what was happening, three dwarves with big heads were sliding towards the motorists, who were completely paralyzed, while they saw other dwarves near the UFO. Suddenly feeling extremely tired, they both lost consciousness. Upon waking up, they noticed puncture marks on the tips of their fingers and they had also received a telepathic explanation (…) (1967, late September)

Event 29556 (20CA5678)
Date: 9/26/1967
Description: In the middle of the afternoon a woman was alone in her house in Seaford, Long Island, New York when she heard a loud humming sound coming from outside. Looking out the window, she saw a hovering silvery disc-shaped object, perfectly smooth without any visible openings. While she was watching her doorbell rang. When she answered the door she was confronted by a tall dark woman wearing a shimmering long gray gown. The woman asked her some questions, apparently confusing her for somebody else. She then asked for a glass of water and salt, claiming that she had to take a pill. When she left she walked away into the bushes, and moments later the humming sound got louder then the disc rose up and shot up into the sky.

Event 29560 (47A5A054)
Date: 9/27/1967
End date: 9/29/1967
Description: The Rocky Mountain News publishes a commentary by Condon wherein he debunks UFOs and disparages NICAP’s contributions. It quotes Low in a similar vein. Condon talks to the project staff and retracts nothing, only saying that he was misquoted about being disenchanted about the project. Project members hold a meeting without Low and Condon to decide what to do. Levine pushes for mass resignation. Craig is the sole dissenter. Saunders sides with Levine but wants to explore other strategies. Ultimately, they decide to prepare their own report, one “so compelling that Condon would be forced to accept it on its merits.”

Event 29574 (B22428B3)
Date: 10/1967

Description: (Translated from French) (cf: November 29, 1966) There were two other Soviet satellites with identical characteristics: Cosmos 185 launched into orbit in October 1967 and Cosmos 316, later in December 1969. Only Cosmos 185, among the four, had a relatively high inclination (64°) and performed maneuvers. It re-entered the atmosphere 15 months later. Such a short life span is surprisingly short for a satellite (…) The rapid fall of Cosmos 185 could thus lead to the idea that it was hollow. (October 1967)

Description: Valeriano Ruiz Fontes, a 28-year-old radio technician, observed an illuminated object at 10:30 p.m. in Tibidabo, Barcelona, Spain which he first took to be a large Jeep. However, It was hovering just above the ground about 700-800 yards away. It was about 14 feet long, with half a dozen oval illuminated windows, and had on top a square turret. Near the UFO were four people of normal stature wearing dark uniforms and bright helmets. Two of the beings climbed up the turret, manipulating or fixing some fittings there, while the other two were examined the underside of the object. After watching for about half an hour, the external lights were extinguished, showing only the illuminated portholes. The object then rose vertically with no noise to about 500 feet, showing yellow, red orange, and a triangle of blue-green lights, and took off at extremely high speed.

Event 29597 (4E119EC1)
Date: 10/3/1967
Description: At 7:45 p.m. Kathy Skolem of Portland, Connecticut, age 13, saw an orange cloud bigger than the moon, which changed colors from pink to blue to green. This turned out to be a barium cloud experiment launched by NASA at 7:18 EDT from Wallops Island, Virginia. However, she then saw a white domed disc surrounded by a haze. It had lights around its rim, and it flew off toward the southeast. At 8:40 p.m. a glowing Saturn-shaped object with a fuzzy amber center flew over Cambridge, Massachusetts. It had white lights sparkling around its circumference. This too was not the barium cloud experiment, which they had seen earlier in the evening.

Event 29598 (70917255)
Date: 10/4/1967
Location: CANADA off Shag Harbour (Nova Scotia)
Description: (Translated from French) The Royal Canadian Air Force confirms the appearance of a brightly lit UFO, seeming to glide over the waters off Shag Harbour. Many coastal inhabitants had seen it. Then, a bubbling of water had occurred, accompanied by yellowish foam. The Canadian Navy had sent some small vessels to the scene; but the UFO had apparently eluded them. (Donald KEYHOE: “The Space Strangers” - Pocket Press 1975 - p. 158) Yvan T.SANDERSON dates this event October 4, 1967. The affair was reported in detail by the Light Herald of Yarmouth, N.S.: The object was first seen at 11:30 pm on Wednesday night, in the Shag Harbour area, Shelburne County, near Bon Portage Island. David Kendricks, who was driving a car with a friend, Norman Smith, in the area between Cape Sable Island and Shag Harbour, saw a bright red-orange light in the sky above Bear Point. According to him, the lights were tiny and seemed lined up in a row, and at one point they blinked. These lights formed an angle of 45°, plunging to the right, advancing in order from bottom to top. Approximately at the same time, Laurie Wiggins, nineteen years old, observed the object as he drove in a car with four other people in Woods Harbour. According to him, there were four lights in a row that went out and lit up in turn and leaned at an angle of 45°. They slowly disappeared into the water. As they got out of the car, they saw the lights change to become a single white light that swayed on the water about 800 meters offshore. Wiggins then called the R.C.M.P. (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) of Wood’s Harbour who arrived at the scene after 20 minutes. Constable Ron O’Brien of the Barrington detachment of the R.C.M.P. and two other officers saw the light floating on the water about 800 m from the coast and reported that it was being carried out to sea by the tide and that it disappeared before they could reach it by boat. Meanwhile, a large number of other witnesses reported lights at the same time and in the same area. The R.C.M.P. immediately called the Canadian Coast Guard station in Clark’s Harbour and Rescue Boat No. 101 plus eight local fishing boats began to search the area. After an hour, the boats had arrived at the place where the object had disappeared and reported a very large area of bubbling water and foam. According to one of the fishermen, the foam was 25 meters wide and it was yellowish; he said he had never seen anything like it in the area. Seven divers from the navy searched for two and a half days but found nothing and these searches were abandoned. The possibility that it could have been an airplane was ruled out by the Canadian authorities; no aircraft was reported missing.

Event 29603 (5781A863)
Date: 10/4/1967
Locations: Nova Scotia; Sambro; Brier Island; Weymouth; Shag Harbour; Highway 3; Gulf of Maine; Clark’s Harbour; Halifax; Ottawa; Royal Canadian Air Force headquarters; Royal Canadian Navy headquarters; HMCS Granby; Shelburne Harbour
Description: From early evening until 11:30 p.m., numerous independent witnesses observe unexplained aerial activity in Nova Scotia. Near Sambro at 9:00 pm, Capt. Leo Howard Mersey and 20 crewmembers of the MV Nickerson see four brilliant red lights in a rectangular formation that appear to be on or just above the water. Occasionally one flares up so brightly that it causes an afterimage in their eves. The objects are also tracked on ship’s radar. They file a report with the Lunenburg CMP office. Between 11:00 and 11:30 pm, northwest of Brier Island, the captain and crew of a fishing vessel see a brilliant white light the size of the moon. As they watch, three brilliant yellow lights emerge and form a triangle around the larger light. The satellite objects then move across the sky and back at high speed. Observations are also made by other vessels. Five miles southwest of Weymouth, a policeman and three game wardens see an orange-colored light just above the tree line moving silently and slowly with spark-like objects emanating. At about 11:20 p.m., just west of Shag Harbour, Laurie Wickens and four other teenagers driving in a car along Highway 3 see an object flying low, flashing four lights one after the other, in a straight line. It appears to be slowly descending at a 45° angle. Multiple witnesses hear a whistling sound “like a bomb,” then a “whoosh,” and finally a loud bang. When next seen by the teens, the object has hit the water’s surface 820– 980 feet offshore. It drifts on the surface, showing a pale-yellow light. Wickens contacts the RCMP detachment in Barrington Passage and reports he has seen a large airplane or small airliner crash into the waters off Shag Harbour. Within about 15 minutes, 10 RCMP officers arrive at the scene. Concerned for survivors, the RCMP detachment contacts the Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax to advise them of the situation and ask if any aircraft were missing. Before any attempt at rescue can be made, the object starts to sink and disappears from view. A rescue mission is quickly assembled. Within half an hour of the crash, local fishing boats go out to the crash site in the waters of the Gulf of Maine off Shag Harbour to look for survivors. No survivors, bodies, or debris are found, either by the fishermen or by a Canadian Coast Guard search and rescue cutter, which arrives about an hour later from nearby Clark’s Harbour. By the next morning, RCC Halifax has determined that no aircraft are missing. The same morning, RCC Halifax also sends a priority telex to the Air Desk at Royal Canadian Air Force headquarters in Ottawa, which handles all civilian and military UFO sightings, informing them of the crash and that all conventional explanations such as aircraft or flares have been dismissed. The head of the Air Desk, Squadron Leader William Bain sends another priority telex to the Royal Canadian Navy headquarters concerning the “UFO report” and recommends an underwater search be mounted. The RCN in turn sends another priority telex tasking Fleet Diving Unit Atlantic with carrying out the search. A detachment of RCN divers from Fleet Diving Unit Atlantic is assembled on the HMCS Granby on October 6 and for the next three days they comb the seafloor looking for an object. The final report says no trace of an object is found. In the 1990s, researcher Chris Styles finds evidence that there is a second crash the same night. Witnesses see American naval exercises in Shelburne Harbour 30 miles to the northeast. Speculation is that the original object may have traveled underwater from Shag Harbour to Shelburne.
