Event 24766 (210250AC)

Date: 2/12/1965
Description: A strange looking plane was seen to dive into the sea near Minehead on the North Devon, England coast. Four witnesses saw it from two different points along the coast. A lifeboat, two RAF helicopters, and a Shackleton failed to find anything after a 90 minute search, and no planes were reported missing. The “ghost plane” may have been seen inland before it reached the sea, for a strange low-flying plane was reportedly seen over Swainswick, near Bath in Somerset, England. The ash-grey “plane” was flying about 100 feet above the road in a west-southwestly direction. It had a misty appearance, despite the fact that there was no fog or mist at the time. It came from behind some trees, and then literally just disappeared. “The strange part was that it made no sound and did not appear to have an engine, but it was certainly not a glider.”

Event 24767 (2E33B401)

Date: 2/14/1965
Description: Walking along the beach near Guarani, Brazil five local residents saw a large flying object land. Two of them approached to within 60 feet and hid behind a sand dune. They saw three eight-foot tall beings, very thin in build, emerge from the craft. They wore dark, tight-fitting one-piece suits. There were later found landing imprints and footprints at the landing site.

Event 24776 (070F716F)

Date: 2/21/1965
Location: ARGENTINA Chalac
Description: (Translated from French) The place is located near the Argentinian-Paraguayan border. Several saucers were seen in flight and one of them landed. About 50 Indians from the Toba tribe remained astonished while three tall beings, enveloped in luminous halos, descended from the craft and approached slowly. The Indians knelt and paid homage to them, raising their arms according to the tradition of the Sun worship ceremony of their ancestors. They then heard a voice coming from the creatures of the craft saying that they should not be afraid, for the People of Space would soon return to convince the Earthlings of their existence and to bring peace to the world. An Indian who tried to approach the machine was dissuaded by gestures. The visitors then returned slowly to the craft, bathed during this time in the luminous rays coming from the small wings of the craft. The craft flew away, its luminosity becoming blinding. Argentine police officers were present and took a number of photographs of the craft.

Event 24779 (13865F47)

Date: 2/21/1965
Description: At least 50 members of the Toba Indian tribe in Chalac, Formosa Province, Argentina watched as a group of UFOs were seen flying overhead at around 9 p.m. One of the craft, bathed constantly in light beams emanating from small wing-like projections, landed in a pasture, and three tall beings enveloped in luminous halos emerged, causing the local population to go down on their knees. The beings approached slowly, with gestures that dissuaded one of the Indians from coming any closer to the UFO. A voice was then heard, telling the witnesses to remain calm for there was nothing to fear, and that the space people would return to bring peace on earth. The humanoids then returned to their craft, which then took off with a blinding luminosity. Photographs were said to have been taken by local police officers.

Event 24783 (B9CBF64D)

Date: 2/27/1965
Locations: Ballarat, Victoria, Australia; Mount Pleasant; Perth UFO Research Group; Flying Saucer Research Society of South Australia
Description: The first conference of Australian UFO organizations takes place in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. It is arranged by W. Howard Sloane of the Ballarat Astronomical Society to share information and remove some of the stigma of UFO research. The conference is held at the Ballarat Municipal Observatory in Mount Pleasant. Representatives of the Perth UFO Research Group, the Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society, the UFO Investigation Centre NSW, and the Flying Saucer Research Society of South Australia are in attendance. Witnesses include Rev. William Gill and Charles Brew. Former Air Marshal George Jones attends, and the RAAF is represented by B. G. Roberts, senior research scientist at the Operational Research Office, Department of Air. Roberts says that the RAAF has determined that 90% of reports are explainable, but that only those that might be a threat to national security are worth investigating and “there are no documents, files, or dossiers held by the Department which prove the existence of ‘flying saucers.’” The researchers quiz him on the 1953 Drury photographic case, but Roberts is unaware of that one. Jones insists on keeping an open mind about reports like those by Gill and Brew.

Event 24784 (E17FE1DE)

Date: 3/1965
Location: USA, Brooksville (California)
Description: (Translated from French) In the afternoon, around 2 pm, 60-year-old John R. Reeves was walking when suddenly 400m in front of him he saw a flying saucer 10m in diameter and about 2m high. It was resting on the ground, supported by a landing gear of 4 feet. The craft, blue-green tending to red, had two portholes in its upper part. As Reeves was 30m away from the craft, a creature came out and walked towards him. It stopped at 5m. This entity was 1.5m tall, stocky, wearing a green garment and a green helmet made of “glass”. Its skin was dark. All parts of the body were covered, except the face. Its eyes were wider than humans, and the chin more pointed. The unusual visitor gave Reeves some sheets of paper covered with strange writing. These sheets were given to an investigation commission of the Mac Dill base. (Guy TARADE: “S.V. and extraterrestrial civilizations” - J’AI LU, p. 184, 185 - dated March 1) Reeves noticed the object at some distance from him and approached it by a detour, then saw the space man. Around the object was an arrangement of pallets that looked like a Venetian blind and which opened and closed just before the object took off. The device rested on 4 feet and a cylindrical element with disc-shaped steps allowed to enter the device from below. The creature was wearing a tight, gray-silver suit, which seemed stiff. He wore a helmet very similar to an overturned glass cup resting on the shoulders. The head inside was covered with a dark material that hid the hair region. The ears, mouth and nose appeared normal, but the eyes were large and widely separated, with “a flat area” between them. The hands were covered with mittens that seemed very flexible and of the same color as the suit. Reeves did not notice any shoes. Reeves said that the creature coming out of the bushes and approaching the craft noticed him and came towards him. At first it just looked at him. Then he pulled out a small black box from his left side which emitted a flash, after which Reeves turned around. He lost his hat, bent down to pick it up, pivoted and the box emitted another flash. He did not see any flash. Reeves would have found two pieces of very thin paper bearing marks. (1965, 3 (or 4) March)

Event 24787 (446BA5CB)

Date: 3/2/1965

Description: 1:55 p.m. John F. Reeves, 65, retired, while walking in the woods east of Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida, sees a bluish-green and reddish-purple object 20–30 feet in diameter, 6 feet thick, saucer-shaped, and with an outer rim and a stairway, two 2-foot windows on top, landed on the ground on four 4-foot legs about 2,000 feet away. He approaches to 100 feet. After watching the object for 10 minutes, he sees a robot-like being about 200– 300 feet away, about 5 feet tall, wearing a gray-silver uniform, glass dome headgear, wide-spaced eyes, and pointed chin. It walks to 15 feet away from Reeves, stares at him for 1.5 minutes, points a box or 6–7-inch black object at Reeves that emits a flash 3 times, then walks back to the landed vehicle and climbs in. The object has Venetian blind–like blades on the rim that open and close; the rim starts rotating counterclockwise, the landing gear retract, then it takes off with a whooshing-rumbling sound and disappears vertically in less than 10 seconds, dropping two sheets of paper with indecipherable writing, and leaving indentations and footprints in the ground. The case is investigated by MacDill AFB in Tampa. Richard Hall supervises the investigation for NICAP and concludes it is a hoax. (NICAP, “Landed Object and Entity Case / Hoax”; “The Florida ‘Landing’ Incident,” APRO Bulletin, March/April 1965, pp. 1, 3; Joan Whritenour, “UFO Lands?” Interplanetary Intelligence Report 1, no. 1 (May 1965): 4; “Project Blue Book,” Interplanetary Intelligence Report 1, no. 2 (July 1965): 8; Clark III 209–218; Jerome Clark, “Passport to Moniheya,” IUR 20, no. 3 (May/June 1995): 10–19; Sparks, p. 304) March 5 — Two Air Force radar technicians are repairing the height-finder antenna at Benton Air Force Station [now Ground Equipment Facility QRC] in Ricketts Glen State Park near Red Rock, Pennsylvania, when they see a small, saucer-shaped object land nearby. As they approach it, a beam of light comes out and strikes both of them. That is the last thing they remember, and they fail to report to the command post. Their equipment is left behind at the antenna, but air police cannot locate the men. Pennsylvania State Police assist in a search of the area. About 16 hours later, a state trooper locates the two men walking along State Route 487 south of Lopez, about 10 miles away. They seem dazed, so they are taken to a hospital in Williamsport, where they are found to be dehydrated and confused. No alcohol or drugs are found. They are then taken to an Air Force hospital at Stewart AFB [now Stewart Air National Guard Base] in Orange County, New York. Trace amounts of alpha radiation are found on their clothing and strange marks are on their necks. AFOSI special agents interview them, but the men cannot remember anything. After 2 weeks in the hospital, they are released back to their unit.

Event 24788 (2BA711F8)

Date: 3/2/1965
Description: At 1:55 p.m. John F. Reeves, a retired 65 year old, was hunting for snakes in the woods in Brooksville, Florida when he observed a reddish-purple saucer-shaped object on the ground. It was 30 feet in diameter and 6-7 feet thick, and stood on four legs, with a clear dome on top and a row of vanes like an outer rim around the circumference. It also had a set of stairs. He crept to within 100 feet, and after watching it for 10 minutes he saw a robot-like being, about five feet tall, wearing a silver one-piece uniform with a transparent “fishbowl” helmet. His hands were gloved and he wore metallic looking boots. His eyes were set far apart and he had a pointed chin. The being walked walked to the craft, then returned with a box that emitted two bright flashes when pointed at the witness; Reeves took it to be somekind of camera. The humanoid then re-entered the craft by walking up a small retractable stairway, and the object rose vertically with a whistling noise. Reeves found at the site many dumbbell-shaped footprints, and four roughly equidistant 6 inch holes, left by the landing gear. There were also two folded sheets of thin tissue like paper that bore messages written in an unknown alphabet. Reeves subsequently had further sightings and contacts.

Event 24801 (B3FA9C0B)

Date: 3/5/1965
Description: On this afternoon two radar technicians were repairing the height finder radar antenna located northeast of Benton Air Force Base near Red Rock, Pennsylvania when a small metallic looking saucer-shaped object landed near them. A beam of light came out of the object and struck both technicians, and that was the last they could remember of the incident. They failed to report to their command post, and a search by both military and civilian police ensued. Sixteen hours later a state trooper found the two men walking on Route 487 in a dazed state. They were taken to a local hospital and found to be dehydrated. Later, trace amounts of alpha radiation were found on their clothing, and unexplained marks were discovered on their necks. One of the men had a brief recollection of encountering strange short creatures, who poked instruments into his eyes, ears, and mouth.

Description: In the Everglades, 30 km east of Big Cypress, James Flynn, 45, who was hunting, saw a huge, lighted object 1 m above the swamp surface. He watched it for 40 min, observing that it was conical, twice as wide as it was high, and seemed built from metal sections over one square m each. It showed four rows of square windows, 70 cm wide. Estimated diameter: 25 m. A yellow light shone through the windows, and the object made a sound of a transformer and wind. Flynn got within 2 m of it and made a gesture. A beam of light from the underside of the object struck him between the eyes and he lost consciousness for 24 hours. He had lost vision in the right eye, saw poorly with the left, went to a doctor in Fort Myers, and spent five days in the hospital.

Event 24817 (33E07B6E)

Locations: Everglades; Immokalee, Florida; East Fort Myers
Description: Around 1:00 a.m. James W. Flynn is deep in the Everglades in his swamp buggy, somewhere east of Immokalee, Florida, with his four hunting dogs. He sees a hovering object like an upside-down cone about 200 feet above some cypress trees slightly over a mile away. It moves back and forth from its original position. Through binoculars it looks 25 feet high and 50 feet in diameter, with square windows emitting a yellowish glow. Around its base an orange-red glow extends downwards and illuminates the ground some 75 feet around the rim. Some 40 minutes into the sighting, Flynn decides to approach it in his buggy. A high-pitched ringing sound bothers one of his dogs. He stops 600 feet away and walks, waving his arms, toward the UFO, which is hovering 4 feet off the ground. A blast of wind from the object nearly knocks him off his feet. He continues, and at 75 feet from the UFO he waves his arms again. The object beams a light like a “welder’s torch” that hits his forehead. He blacks out twice. When he wakes up he is temporarily blinded. In the morning he finds a symmetrical circle of burned ground. The tops of trees are burned. Flynn makes his way to the home of Henry Osceola (or Henry Billy) later in the day and arrives at his own home in East Fort Myers on March 17 and spends 5 days in the hospital with damage to his right eye, bruises, burns, deep muscle tissue damage, and loss of hearing. His eye damage is permanent. The landing marks and burned trees are verified by the Lee County sheriff’s office.

Description: Mr. James Flynn, a 45-year-old man, was out in a boat with his hunting dogs in the Big Cypress Swamp in Florida when he encountered a metallic cone-shaped UFO at around one o’clock in the morning. The UFO had three rows of square windows and a yellow light. It made a generator-like sound, then emitted a jet-like sound followed by a blast of air. His dogs howled. Then a beam of light shot out from underneath the object, striking the witness in the forehead. He fell unconscious, and awoke with blindness in his right eye. Damaged foliage was found at the site, and Mr. Flynn was admitted to hospital for a five day stay.

Description: 7:06 p.m. Capt. Yoshiharu Inaba is flying a TOA Airlines Convair 240 from Osaka to Hiroshima, Japan, at an altitude of 6,500 feet. Just after the aircraft passes Himeji, Hyogo, an elliptical luminous object appears and follows the plane. Inaba makes a 60° turn to avoid a collision, but the object makes a similar maneuver then follows along the plane’s left wing for about 56 miles. Emitting a greenish light, the object affects the automatic direction finder and the radio. As copilot Tetsu Majima radios the Matsuyama control tower, he hears frantic calls from Joji Negishi, the pilot of a Tokyo Airlines Piper Apache, who says he is being chased by a luminous object over Matsuyama. The object shoots away and disappears.

The word “sil” seemed to designate his UFO (Henry DURRANT: “First Investigations on ET Humanoids” - Laffont 1977 - p. 187) In April 1965, while hunting, he saw at a distance of 300 m a large egg-shaped craft hovering a few meters from the ground. The UFO was surrounded by something like a “ring spinning quickly” and seemed completely silent. He had rushed enthusiastically shouting “Amigo!” and had been suddenly struck by paralysis. A door of the craft opened and a small man descended a ladder about 30 cm wide. The little man was about one meter tall, wore a helmet and two cables connected the helmet to the saucer. The rest of his costume resembled a diving suit. They conversed, the small entity speaking slowly and with difficulty. He promised to return on May 3. [followed up on July 21, 1965] (April 1965)

Description: Two traveling salesmen were driving toward Fortaleza, Ceara State, Brazil at 11:20 p.m. when they saw something in the sky that looked like a bright red infrared lamp. It shined a beam of light down on their car. The object then descended just above the car, and the car then began to vibrate and its lights went out. They then saw another ray of light come down from the UFO onto their vehicle, whereupon the driver lost driving control and the vehicle skidded sideways and came to a stop. The red globe-shaped object then landed in front of the car, and two humanoids that resembled robots came out from the UFO and began to approach. Both men got out; one had a rifle that he fired at the entities. Suddenly there was a terrific explosion and the two men were blinded and could hear nothing. Fifteen minutes later they could see again, but the object and the two entities had already gone.

Event 24882 (52D71DA4)

Date: 4/24/1965
Location: GREAT BRITAIN, Dartmoor - Scoriton (South Devon)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 5:30 PM E.A. Bryant was out for a walk when he suddenly found himself face to face with an aerial object that was moving in a pendulum motion before stopping and hovering about a meter off the ground, a few meters in front of him. The object had literally come out of nowhere. (…) While he was looking, an opening appeared in the side of the saucer and three shapes emerged. They were dressed in “diving gear”. One of the shapes - they had the appearance of a human - gestured to the witness, who approached. The beings removed their helmets and he saw that two had very high foreheads, blue eyes and blonde hair. The third, smaller one looked to be about 15 years old, had normal features, dark hair and brown eyes. A conversation took place in acceptable English. The dark-haired man said his name was “Yamski” and added that it was a shame that “Des” or “Les” wasn’t there to see the visitors, as he would have understood! They also said they were from Venus and that they would return in a month bringing with them “proof of Mantell” or something like that.

Event 24883 (57A8CE10)

Date: 4/24/1965
Locations: Scoriton Down; Scoriton (or Scorriton); Devon, England
Description: 5:30 p.m. Ernest Arthur Bryant is walking toward Scoriton Down near Scoriton (or Scorriton), Devon, England, when he sees a saucer-like object approach him. It stops nearby and a door opens. Three beings appear and beckon to him. He approaches the saucer. Two of the three beings appear to be nonhuman, but the third seems to be a youth in his teens. The youth speaks with an accent that Bryant thinks might be Russian and calls himself Yamski. He says that he is from Venus, and then remarks that he wished “Des” was there, as he would understand what is happening. At the close of their conversation, he says that in a month he will return and bring proof of “Mantell.” Ufologists who eventually hear the story immediately associate Yamski with George Adamski, the controversial contactee who died on April 23. Adamski was of Polish background and had a noticeable accent. If this were Adamski, he has lost any signs of aging. Adamski’s friend Desmond Leslie was a coauthor of his first book. Captain Thomas F. Mantell, piloting an F-51, had been killed in 1948 when he began chasing what he thought was a UFO. According to Bryant, the saucer returns June 7 and leaves some items, including several pieces of metal, allegedly from an F-51. He reports the story to the British UFO Research Association, which launches an investigation. The various items Bryant turns over to the two investigators (a turbine fitting, metal parts, a broken bulb and fitting, a phial containing silver sand, and a piece of paper on which the words “Adelphos Adelpho” are written) prove to be mundane and irrelevant to the F-51, according to aeronautical engineer Leonard G. Cramp. In spite of problems with the story, one of the investigators, Eileen Buckle, rushes into print with a book, The Scoriton Mystery. Shortly afterward, Bryant unexpectedly takes ill and dies from a brain tumor on June 24, 1967. The other investigator, Norman Oliver, visits his widow. She says that she is familiar with the story in the book, as her husband had presented it to her first as the script for a science fiction novel. It is only after the investigation is well along that she realizes her husband was trying to sell the story as a real event. She indicates that the supposed items related to Mantell were purchased at a naval surplus store. Alice Wells, head of the Adamski Foundation, dismisses the Scoriton story from the beginning, as does Desmond Leslie. Between their rejection and Oliver’s uncovering of the hoax, few remain to support Bryant except Buckle.

Description: (Translated from French) Three customers of the Retreat Hotel saw a strange, brightly lit machine approach the hotel. These customers were J.W. Tilse, an old pilot, John Burgess, an Australian veteran of World War II, and Eric Jurdin, an engineer. Tilse recounts: This craft was about 300 m from the hotel veranda and was moving just above the trees. Under a circular platform there was a row of lights, about twenty or thirty. It was solid, seemed to be made of metal, and must have been 9 to 10 m in diameter. (…) For about thirty minutes it remained motionless. Then it began to rise and in the light of the lamps we could see that it had three legs at its base. Each one had a lamp. (Frank EDWARDS: “Les S.V. affaire sérieuse” - trad. Laffont 1967 - p. 88, 89) Three men saw a circular UFO about 10 m in diameter, which emitted a buzzing sound. This UFO was carrying another round disc. The main object had a tripod landing gear and lights. The police found landing traces and damaged trees. It was May 23, 1965. (1965, May 24 (23?))

Event 24932 (C380AB3C)

Date: 5/24/1965
Location: Epsom, Queensland
Description: 12:05 a.m. John Burgess, James Tilse, and Eric Judin are playing cards at the Epsom Retreat Hotel near Epsom, Queensland, when their attention is drawn to something on or near the ground. It appears to be a disc- shaped object with banks of lights underneath it to their southeast. Tilse estimates its diameter to be 30 feet, Judin as 20 feet, and Burgess as 6 feet. In the moonlight, its color seems to be charcoal. At times, it seems to approach them, then recede. Finally, it rapidly rises to about 300 feet, then it accelerates away to the northeast. Burgess and Judin heard a buzzing sound. Total duration is 40 minutes. Two days later, a circular depression is found nearby close to a telephone line. Tilse says that “tops of trees appear to be burned.”

Description: 3:25 a.m. An Ansett-ANA DC-6b airliner piloted by Capt. John Barker is flying over Bougainville Reef off the coast of Queensland, Australia, when it is paced for 10–15 minutes by an oblate UFO with exhaust gases coming from it. The copilot and a stewardess also see the object. Barker takes photos of the UFO, but when he lands in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, he is not allowed to have the film processed until he returns to Australia. When he eventually arrives in Brisbane, he is flown directly to Canberra where both the film and the flight recorder are confiscated. The Directorate of Air Force Intelligence in Canberra later denies that any such incident took place. However, an official statement by Barker to the RAAF surfaces, in which he says: “I had always scoffed at these reports, but I saw it. We all saw it. It was under intelligent control, and it was certainly no known aircraft.”

Event 24947 (626E4A94)

Date: 5/30/1965
Description: While sunbathing on the roof of her lake cottage on Lake Mason, Wisconsin at around 2 p.m., Ms. Gorzelle, age 45, witnessed a shiny disc-shaped object approach in a straight line from over the lake. She described it as metallic, about 40 feet wide, and with a row of windows and a dome on top. The domed disc hovered over her cottage property less than 200 feet away, then landed on tripod landing gear that emerged from the underside of the craft. From her roof she was looking down on the landed object. In one of the windows she was able to see an occupant. When the occupant saw her on the roof, he beckoned to another figure that appeared at a second window. Both of them seemed to be rather short–under four feet tall–with large, baldheads, slits for mouths and small noses. They stared at her for what seemed to be a long time. The next thing she recalled was watching the object depart rapidly in the direction of the setting sun. There was a time lapse of at least four hours in her memory. Under self hypnosis, the witness was able to recall walking up to the UFO and being led up a stairway into the vehicle by the two occupants. One of them held a small box that he opened, and inside the box was a dark-colored crystal that gave off a vapor or smoke. He held it in front of her face and the witness jumped back, but when he again passed it close to her face she discovered that the fumes were odorless. The next thing she remembers was being back on her roof watching the object depart. She had headaches following the incident. She would have another UFO encounter three months later.

Event 24962 (21341D2C)

Date: 6/4/1965 (approximate)
Location: IN SPACE
Description: (Translated from French) James Mc Divitt and Edward White were in orbit east of Hawaii. White was sleeping and Mc Divitt saw a bright, oval-shaped object, followed by a luminous trail, approaching GEMINI IV. He had time to take a photograph of the phenomenon. A few minutes later, as they flew over the Caribbean, the two men saw two similar objects. (Jacques POTTIER: “Les Soucoupes Volantes” - DE VECCHI - 1974 - p. 42, 43) (Filers Files # 15 of 19.4.1999, Georges Filer of MUFON).

(Jean-Francis CROLARD: “L’énigme des E.T.” - éd. Guy TREDANIEL 1995, p. 35) GEMINI IV June 4, 1965 (James A. McDivitt, Edward White). The camera was loaded with an Eastman color l6mm film, 6 images per second. McDivitt has publicly denied seeing a UFO and said that the published photo does not show the object he saw. This photo only shows the reflection on the copilot’s window. McDivitt is sure he saw a satellite launched from the earth, but the public must ignore it for security reasons. McDivitt, unlike other astronauts, has always willingly answered journalists’ questions about this incident. (June 4, 1965 (July?))

Event 24964 (0D8E85A7)

Date: 6/4/1965
Location: Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas
Description: During the Gemini 4 mission, astronaut James McDivitt spots an object that he describes as a “white cylindrical shape with a white pole sticking out of one corner of it.” He takes two photos of it. His partner, Ed White, is asleep at the time. McDivitt maintains that it was some unknown but man-made piece of debris, while James Oberg, flight controller at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, argues that it is most likely the Titan II second stage of the craft.

Event 24969 (E57BB760)

Date: 6/6/1965
Description: Private aircraft pilot Mr. C. Adams, and a television cameraman Mr. Les Hendy, reported seeing four or five “mysterious objects” floating in the sea 3 miles east of Fraser Island, 150 miles north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia at about 11.30 a.m. Mr. Adams first noticed two of the objects from a distance of about 8 miles while flying over Fraser Island. The weather was clear and the objects appeared to resemble two big dark-coloured logs. They were narrow and up to 100 feet long. As he steered toward them two or three similar but smaller objects appeared near the other two. They did not appear to move, but seemed to “sort of submerge" when the plane was about one mile away from them. From the air they appeared to be lying just below the surface and when “submerging” from sight seemed to do so without disturbing the surface. Mr. Adams was certain that the objects were too big to be fish or sharks, and the wrong shape to be whales. Mr. Hendy regretted that they were too far away from him to film them. Several experts got their heads together and decided that the objects sighted were migrating whales. However, their explanation was soon squashed when part-owner of the Seabrae Hotel–Mr. G. Sampson–and Mrs. V. Grady reported that they had sighted a similar object on the very same day, half-a-mile out between Redcliffe Pier and Redcliffe Point. They watched it for 10 minutes. It was long and black and there appeared to be a black balloon suspended over it. A Fisheries Dept. spokesman commented that it was unlikely to be a whale, because they very seldom come into Morton Bay.

Event 25002 (976E7C6A)

Date: 6/25/1965
Locations: Area 25; Nevada Test Site
Description: The Phoebus 1A nuclear rocket engine is tested at Area 25 of the Nevada Test Site as part of Project Rover. It runs at full power for 10.5 minutes. Unfortunately, the intense radiation environment causes one of the capacitance gauges to produce erroneous readings. When confronted by one gauge that says the hydrogen propellant tank is nearly empty, and another that says it is a quarter full, and unsure which is correct, the technicians in the control room choose to believe the one that says it is a quarter full. But the tank is indeed nearly empty, and the propellant runs dry. Without liquid hydrogen to cool it, the engine, operating at 2,000° C., quickly overheats and explodes. About a fifth of the fuel is ejected and most of the rest melts. The whole decontamination effort takes 400 people two months to complete, and costs $50,000.

Description: (Translated from French) John Stavano discovers, after hearing explosions the day before, a curious formation on the ground. The wheat ears seem to have been pulled out of the ground, uprooted. The case will be examined by A. Candusso and Larray Moyers, delegates of the Flying Saucer Investigating Committee, accompanied by Garry Davis. They find the strange circular configuration in Stavano’s farm located on a ridge. At the center of the circle is a depression about 28 inches in diameter. It is explored with a probe but only soft soil is found to a depth of 9 inches. A good part of the wheat has been moved, roots included, and clods of earth a few inches long have been scattered. The ears lie on the ground, in the form of a wheel spoke. Analysis of soil and wheat samples finds no evidence that could be caused by an explosion. (June 30)

He was sitting under a dome and wearing a helmet. He stopped 3 m away from the window, staying there for only 3 seconds: he was intensely observing her. During this short time the witness felt paralyzed, but as soon as the object left the feeling went away. She estimated the length of the object to be maximum 4 m, and heard a kind of whistling the whole time. After this observation she felt numb and everything sparkled in front of her eyes.

Description: 11:30 p.m.–midnight. Talking on the phone in her second-floor bedroom in Lake Forest, Illinois, Pat Harvey sees a flash and hears a commotion or “rustle” outside. When she finishes the conversation, she looks out the window toward her neighbor’s lawn and sees a transparent bubble of light about 100 feet away. Inside the globe are several individuals who look like normal human beings, though slightly shorter (5 feet tall) and with skin that looks tanned. They are lying down in a somewhat haphazard arrangement. There are no visible instruments or seats. The object bobs up and down slightly, and the beings’ arms are moving in a way that reminds Harvey of “rowing motions.”

He then saw an egg-shaped craft in his lavender field and approached it to within 6 m. In front of the craft, two figures seemed to be examining the lavender. They measured about 1.20 m and were dressed in a one-piece gray-green suit. Their head was three times bigger than a human head, had normal eyes, but only an opening where the mouth should be. They were not wearing helmets. Their hands were small and well proportioned. One of them took out a tube from a sheath on his belt and pointed it at Masse. He was thus completely immobilized. For 60 seconds the creatures circled around him and a kind of gurgling came from their throat, although their mouth did not move. Then the beings returned to the craft, the door slid shut, and Masse saw them in the dome. The craft lifted off the ground from its central pivot, rose slowly, its six thin legs began to spin faster and faster, and it flew off obliquely. After 50 m it suddenly disappeared in one go. After 20 minutes Masse gradually regained his mobility to return home.

The craft was set on a central pivot with six legs, was about 5 m long, and had a door showing two seats back to back. Near it were two dwarfs the size of 8-year-old children, with heads, normal human eyes, fine hands with five fingers, and no hair. They seemed surprised when the witness came near, and stopped their examination of a plant to aim a small device at him, causing inhibition of movement. They spoke among themselves in shrill sounds similar to a gargle. The craft took off and “vanished.” Traces.

Event 25029 (43F0578E)

Date: 7/1/1965
Location: Valensole, Alps-de-Haute-Provence, France
Description: 5:45 a.m. Maurice Masse is farming just north of Valensole, Alps-de-Haute-Provence, France, when he is startled by a whistling sound and sees an elliptical object resting on four legs some 200 feet away from him in his lavender field. Squatting on the ground near the object are two figures about the size of 8-year-old boys, apparently looking at a lavender plant. Masse approaches them to about 20 feet and the figures stand up. They are dressed in gray-green overalls and have smooth, pumpkin-like heads. Their eyes are large and slanted, their mouths have no lips and look like little holes. He hears some grunting sounds, and Masse hints that there is a telepathic communication. One of the figures points a pencil-like object at Masse and he is paralyzed. They enter the UFO through a door and the object shoots off at enormous speed with a whistling sound. It takes Masse another 20 minutes to regain control. Tracks left by the landing gear are found later by Masse and confirmed by gendarmes.

Description: One of the most famous landing and humanoid reports occurred on this day in Valensole, Alpes-Haut-Provence department, France. At around five o’clock in the morning farmer Maurice Masse, age 41, heard a strange noise and saw an egg-shaped object 30 meters away in a field of lavender. The craft was set on a central pivot with six legs, was about five meters long, and had a door showing two seats back to back. Nearby it were two dwarfs the size of eight-year-old children, with bald heads, normal human eyes, and fine hands with five fingers. They seemed surprised when the witness approached them, and stopped their examination of a plant to aim a small device at him, causing him to become temporarily paralyzed and unable to move. They spoke among themselves in shrill sounds similar to a gargle. The craft took off and “vanished” into the air. Ground traces were found in the field.

Event 25052 (97D5232F)

Date: 7/3/1965
Description: At their base on Deception Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica two Chilean scientists, Barrera and Perisse, witnessed, tracked with a theodolite, and photographed a bluish-green lighted object that zigzagged and caused strong radio frequency interference beginning at 7:14 p.m. Another electromagnetic effect was that the UFO registered on their magnetograph tapes and variometers. Photographs were taken. The blue-green lighted object was seen zig-zagging. There was a government coverup.

Event 25069 (9886FB90)

Date: 7/7/1965
Description: (Translated from French) A report from an Argentine detachment based in Antarctica relayed by an official statement from the Argentine Ministry of the Navy describes the gigantic UFO observed for several hours: It had the appearance of a solid material, red and green, iridescent from time to time with yellow, blue, white, and orange. The object moved silently eastward following a winding trajectory, but always without noise and at variable speeds. It often changed direction, heading sometimes westward, sometimes northward. In the afternoon of the same day, the same object was spotted by the South Orkney Islands base. It was moving northwest, at an angle of 30° relative to the horizon. It was at an approximate distance of 10 to 15 km. The Chilean Antarctic base also spotted the same object in the afternoon of the same day. On July 9th (?), an extremely important message arrived from the South Orkney Islands base. As a strange object flew over the base, 2 variometers, which were functioning perfectly before the flight, recorded disturbances of the magnetic field on their tapes. (July 7th)

She notices a luminous red object shaped like a cardinal’s hat coming from the west at high speed. It stops in mid-air and hovers above some nearby woods, rocking back and forth. She rushes back to warn her husband, Manuel Fernandes. They notice that their radio set has started making a loud noise. They estimate the object is about a quarter-mile away. Its top part is orange, and on its brim is a flickering red light. They watch it for 3 minutes before it takes off to the north at full speed. The radio goes back to normal.

Date: 7/19/1965
Location: Vaucluse, New South Wales
Description: 5:30 p.m. Denis Crowe, an aircraft artist, is strolling along a beach at Vaucluse, New South Wales, when he encounters a glowing disc resting on legs. It is about 20 feet in diameter and 9 feet high. The top and bottom are silver gray and the rim in between is glowing greenish-blue. A hollow area at the very top seems to be a glass dome. There are no windows or antennae. Dogs in the neighborhood all bark at it. When Crowe is 50–60 feet from the object, it takes off with a sound like air forced from a balloon. He watches it for about 10 seconds until it disappears into the clouds. After the object takes off, the dogs are strangely silent.

Date: 7/19/1965
Description: There were several sightings for this date. In Samarai, Papua New Guinea a red glowing cylinder moved across the sky from left to right. It flew with an oscillating motion, and made a sound like a diesel engine. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon in Antofagasta, Chile a cone-shaped object flew over the city at high speed, with the pointed end toward the rear, making loud explosive noises. At 5:30 p.m. in Vaucluse Beach, New South Wales, Australia a seven meter domed disc was seen resting on a sandy beach. When Mr. Crowe, the witness, approached to within 16 meters (53 feet) it rose with a rushing air noise like air being released from a balloon. There were ground marks left in the sand, and a check of radioactivity showed it was higher than the normal background level.

Event 25133 (AEC0916D)

Date: 7/20/1965
Location: ARGENTINA, Quilmes (prov. of Buenos Aires)
Description: (Translated from French) At 8 o’clock in the morning Ramon Eduardo Pereyra was driving his truck beyond Monte de los Curas when he saw an object like a parachute falling silently into the trees on a hill. He went to see what it was and he found, in a clearing, a chrome-colored egg-shaped device supported by metal feet. Its upper part was transparent and its lower part extremely smooth, without joints or connections. Near the machine stood a young blond man who seemed to be studying a piece of paper. He was wearing “a plastic diving suit” and small boots and had a kind of towel attached to his right leg. The witness managed to get to the device without being observed and took a look through a panel. Inside he saw a second man sitting at a control panel. It was then that the man from outside noticed him and headed towards him with an expression of anger. “What’s going on?” asked Pereyra, but without answering the other one climbed straight into the device which immediately rose to a height of about 30 meters, then moved away at a regular speed.

Event 25152 (587210BD)

Date: 7/21/1965
Location: ARGENTINA, Macias (Entre Rios)
Description: (Translated from French) (cf. April 1965, Monte Grande) No details seem to have been published about the encounter that allegedly took place on May 3. At 11 pm on July 21, Martinez met the same little man again and explained to him the great difficulty he had had in finding someone who believed his story. The latter replied that they would soon show themselves all over the Earth. He added that Martinez should accept a new appointment with them, exactly on December 3, 1965. When they returned they would take Martinez and his family away and then burn the whole Earth as punishment for his refusal to admit their existence. (…)

Event 25153 (3DAE7086)

Date: 7/21/1965
Description: In Macias, Entre Rios province, Argentina at eleven o’clock at night Felipe Martinez reportedly met with humanoid UFOnauts for the third time since they had first contacted him. He was told that the “space people” would soon show themselves to people everywhere on earth. They also told him that on December 3 that year they would return to take Martinez and his family, and then they would then burn up the entire earth as punishment for our disbelief in their existence. Obviously, none of these prophesized events subsequently occurred. Four of the crew he met with were little men less than three feet tall, while the fifth man was over six feet tall and blond. This last crew member wore metallic plates on his arms, which had numerous small lights.

Location: BRAZIL, Carazinho
Description: (Translated from French) … there were five dwarves, dressed in black uniforms and small boots, who appeared. We were told that two of them had in their hands an amazingly bright object, like a fairy wand. (Jacques VALLEE: “Chronicles of E.T. Appearances” - DENOEL 1972 - coll. J’AI LU - p. 105) In the evening Adilon Batista Azevedo, 15 years old, was strolling behind a group of young people going to the cinema. As he crossed an open field on the outskirts of the city, he heard a strange buzzing and saw two cones of white light in the sky, then two almost round devices, one larger than the other, land not far from him. He hid behind the wall of a well and saw three entities emerge from one machine and two from the other. The two teams joined and he could hear their words that did not resemble anything he had ever heard. The beings measured 1 m 50, wore helmets and one-piece scuba suits, dark in color and small boots. One of them carried in his right hand a very bright object resembling a wand. They conversed in their whistling language for about five minutes, then each team circled its machine three times, leaning down to examine the hull. The inspection finished, they got back into their machines which flew away at such a fantastic speed that in one or two seconds they were only a tiny point among the stars. Adilon ran to join his friends at the cinema but soon felt such a violent headache that he had to go to a pharmacist to buy tablets. Without any result, his headache lasted for five days. (…)

Examining the object more closely through the observatory’s telescope, they realized that the UFO was composed of 3 green balls in a triangular formation around a larger central light. The central sphere was estimated to be 90 m in diameter and its altitude was estimated to be 100 (200?) km, but the observers were unable to provide an explanation for what they saw. The observation lasted about 30 minutes.

When they pass a vacant lot on Rua David Canaberra between the Rua 15 de Novembro and the Rua Alexandra de Motta, they see a light beam coming from a cloud illuminating an area about 33 feet in diameter and hear a buzzing noise. The other boys run, but Adilon remains and sees an oval- shaped object landing in the vacant lot and hovering about 3 feet off the ground. Another smaller object descends and hovers next to the first. Two beings about 5 feet tall emerge from the larger object and walk around it. They are wearing dark clothing and light helmets. After 5 minutes, 3 others emerge from the smaller object and converse with the others. The beings reenter the objects, which take off several minute apart. Adilon gets a headache that remains with him for 5 days. Possible helicopters?

Description: 9:40 p.m. A USAF Reserve major and his wife observe a manta ray–shaped object fly almost directly overhead at Carswell AFB [now Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base], Fort Worth, Texas, below 1,000 feet altitude. The object moves at a constant speed on the same course. The object is approximately 40 feet long and has two brilliant white lights pulsating off and on once every second. It is completely silent and flies directly through the Carswell control zone at low altitude. The sighting is verified by three other persons on duty. The report states: “This sighting was a positive observation, under ideal circumstances, of a definite object of an unconventional nature—possibly of foreign origin, which could be a threat to national security.”

Event 25250 (DE753F2D)

Date: 8/1/1965
Locations: Francis E. Warren Air Force Base; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Sioux Army Depot; Sydney, Nebraska; Pine Bluff; Gurley; Quebec LCF; Chugwater
Description: 1:30–4:30 a.m. Various personnel from Francis E. Warren Air Force Base west of Cheyenne, Wyoming, report more than 70 UFOs near the base’s ICBM Minuteman I launch control facilities (LCFs) and launch facilities (LFs, missile silos). A Lieut. Anspaugh logs the reports and incoming telephone calls for three hours. The reports begin with a “large circular object emitting several colors but no sound” seen by civilians over Cheyenne itself at 1:30 a.m. This results in an alert at the base for all personnel to be on the watch for anything suspicious. Five objects are spotted over the Sioux Army Depot [now closed] in Sydney, Nebraska, at 1:45 a.m. Two UFOs are seen over the Echo LCF southeast of Pine Bluff at 1:48 a.m. Nine more objects are sighted at 2:50 a.m. The Echo LCF reports six UFOs stacked vertically. A Strategic Air Command team at the H-2 LF northeast of Gurley reports a white UFO directly overhead at 3:00 a.m. The Sioux Army Depot reports five objects going east at 3:35 a.m. Reports of white, round- or oval-shaped objects in various formations, continue solidly at the H- 2 LF for the next 40 minutes. At 4:05 a.m., the Warren base commander calls to say that the Quebec LCF southwest of Chugwater has nine UFOs in sight: four to the NW, three to the NE, and two over Cheyenne. Sightings continue to be reported the next two nights at missile sites assigned to Warren AFB, for a total of 148 objects seen by 143 combat defense force airmen, missile maintenance men, and NCOs. The sheer scope and blatant ostentation of the UFOs’ reported aerial displays over a sensitive atomic missile base is remarkable.

Event 25252 (28B9BE9D)

Date: 8/1/1965
Locations: Tinker AFB, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Norman, Oklahoma; Oklahoma City
Description: 9:08 p.m. Four objects, bluish-white with a red haze, are seen from the control tower at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. T/Sgt John R. Lang, 34, is the watch supervisor. All the objects appear at approximately 22,000 feet altitude. One is moving south, and another is moving north at speeds of 150–200 mph. Two of the objects appear stationary. The 746th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron reports radar contact with one object at 10,000 feet in the vicinity of Norman, Oklahoma, 20 miles south of Tinker AFB. The duration is 90 minutes. An Air Force weather observer, who wishes to remain anonymous, looks at a UFO through his 40x-telescope at Oklahoma City. It is tilted about 45° then straightens out. “It looked like Saturn with a flat top and flat bottom.”

Event 25256 (3261996E)

Date: 8/2/1965
Location: USA, Tulsa (Oklahoma)
Description: (Translated from French) Tens of thousands of Americans, from South Dakota to the Mexican border and beyond, saw bright colored lights moving in formations in the sky. Some formations were diamond-shaped and turned at right angles. Others were isolated and hovered from time to time. Some very high in the sky would dive down to a lower altitude. Others were low and would climb up in a spiral. From time to time one of these objects would stop. It was thus that around 1:30 am Alan Smith, 14 years old, from Tulsa, was able to take a remarkable color photograph of a stationary UFO in the sky, with an ordinary camera and a commercial color film. On the enlargements obtained, it was clearly visible that the UFO had the shape of a flattened disc at the back and was divided into three parts by two opaque bands. These three sections were, from left to right, with respect to the photographer, bluish green, yellow orange, white cream. (Frank EDWARDS: “Les S.V. affaire sérieuse” - trad. Laffont 1967 - p. 250, 251). IN REALITY: when the image is turned over, a wide-brimmed hat with a red fruit placed on it is discovered. The story is probably authentic, but the photo was tampered with by Alan Smith. (August 2, 1965)

Description: 1:30 a.m. Mr. A. L. Smith, accompanied by his 14-year-old son Alan and three other witnesses, watch an unusual, multicolored UFO over Tulsa, Oklahoma. The UFO is slowly moving toward the witnesses. Still several hundred yards away, it pauses briefly and hovers. At that precise moment, Alan snaps a photograph with his inexpensive camera, using ASA 64 film. Alan decides not to try for a second shot. He takes his camera inside the house and runs back outside just in time to see the object rapidly flying away into the night sky. The photo is a probable fake of a color wheel for an aluminum Christmas tree.

Wichita meteorologist John Shockley tracks several UFOs on the Weather Bureau radar flying at altitudes of 6,000–9,000 feet. His assistant Ellis Pike notes that they look just like airliner blips. They brighten and dim on the screen, moving at 45 mph. At least four citizens see colored glows in the southern sky during the early morning hours. One says: “They were red and exploded in a shower of sparks and at other times fluttered like a leaf in the clear sky.”

Event 25276 (964F242F)

Date: 8/2/1965
Locations: Sherman, Texas; US Highway 82; Bells, Texas
Description: 3:00 a.m. KXWI-TV news photographer Robert Campbell hears on his radio a conversation between Oklahoma and Texas highway patrolmen that a UFO has been tracked on radar and is streaking towards the Texas border. Campbell takes his 4-by-5 Speed Graphic camera and drives into Sherman, Texas, where he locates Chief of Police Peter McCollum. Together they search for the object and soon see it hanging stationary one mile east of Bells on US Highway 82. The object has a “Mercury capsule” shape at one end, possibly rounded at the other end. Several distinct bands circle the cylinder, with disc-shaped embossments on the surface. He takes four camera exposures, two minutes each at three-minute intervals. The negatives are carefully examined by USAF scientific advisers and astronomical experts. No acceptable explanation can be found for the object recorded on the negatives.

Date: 8/2/1965
Description: A famous color photograph was taken in Tulsa, Oklahoma by 14-year-old Alan Smith at 1:45 a.m. Unlike most photos of alleged UFOs taken by teenagers, this one had supporting witnesses. The photo shows a mosaic pattern of yellow, blue and white light in the shape of an ovoid with three tiny fingers. The object was described as about size of a basketball, which moved slowly and changed color, and also made a high pitched whining sound. Alan took his shot when the UFO was almost directly overhead.

Locations: Los Angeles County; Santa Ana, California
Description: 12:37 p.m. Los Angeles County Highway Accident Investigator Rex Heflin takes four clear Polaroid photos of a hat-shaped UFO on a lonely stretch of road near Santa Ana, California. The object is silent, and a beam of white light is rotating beneath it. He radios his supervisor, but the radio goes dead. One of Heflin’s coworkers offers to send the photos to Life magazine; he does, but Life declines to use them. Soon, someone from NORAD shows up demanding the prints and Heflin turns them over. They are not seen again. The photos are most likely a prank hoax by Heflin using a hubcap, complicated by flawed photographic analyses and investigations.

It had a transparent dome, was 15 feet in diameter, and was on or near the ground just 50 feet away from them. Next to the craft stood a small four and a half foot tall figure with yellow eyes, and inside the dome was another figure moving about. Frightened, the boys ran from the spot. As they ran they heard a “swishing” sound, and saw the round object rise over the treetops and disappear from sight as it flew out over the lake.

Description: (Translated from French) Nebraska trucker Don Tenopir is heading north to Abilene with a load of grain. An UFO descends from the sky above his truck and lands on the road in front of him. A car coming in the opposite direction swerves around the craft and stops with a screech of brakes. Tenopir slams on the brakes. His headlights go out, although his GMC Diesel semi-truck keeps rolling: the UFO moves and the truck’s headlights come back on. Tenopir can now see the object: a disk (topped with a dome) about 4m in diameter, hovering a few meters off the ground. There are square windows on the top. Too scared to move from his cab, but the driver of the car gets out and approaches him. Before they can talk, the UFO shoots sparks from where it is and takes off with a loud noise. The two drivers flee. Tenopir reports the incident to the Abilene police, but neither the city, nor the state, nor the government nor the military authorities take any action. The case bears an interesting resemblance to the encounter that took place in Hampshire (England) in November 1967. (1:30)

Description: (Translated from French) A 60-year-old man, Mr. P.S., experienced a curious event on August 7, 1965: “I thought it was a piglet falling from the sky… In any case, the thing that had just landed twenty meters in front of me, right in the middle of the path, had, in appearance at least, the shape and proportions of one: about 60 centimeters long and about 25 centimeters high at its highest point. I ran towards the strange thing, but it deflated like a balloon. More precisely, the thing seemed to disappear into the ground. Moreover, that is probably what happened. I struck a match. I was certainly not dreaming. But I didn’t find the slightest trace of my piglet…”

Locations: Beaver, Pennsylvania; Beaver County Times; Colorado project
Description: 11:30 p.m. A luminous UFO is allegedly photographed in Beaver, Pennsylvania, by James Lucci, 17. According to estimations by witnesses, the diameter of the UFO is around 42 feet. Lucci is photographing the full moon with his brother John, 23. According to them, a shining object appears from behind a hill. James manages to take two shots before the flying object leaves. His friends encourage him to send the photos to the Beaver County Times, where they are analyzed and declared authentic. However, both the Colorado project and UFO researchers determine the photo is a hoax created by holding a plate up next to the moon with a fist (probably John’s) and blurring it with motion.

Event 25368 (FA3BD677)

Date: 8/9/1965
Description: An anonymous music teacher, a “high level public employee”, was driving on the outskirts of Lima, Peru around 10:00 p.m. when his car’s engine started to miss, and then stop. At that moment, a beam of light enveloped the car from above, then levitated it from the road and carried it through the sky for an unknown distance, at such an altitude that the witness could see the coastline and a peninsula, La Punta, west of the city. He was paralyzed and unable to move during this process. The car was brought to the ground near the shore and he could hear waves breaking. Then, a voice spoke to him in perfect Spanish, and asked him to get out of the car. He did so and “could barely make out” little men with big ears. No UFO was seen, but there was a luminous screen nearby, on which was displayed, “We are using calming rays on you to remove your fear.” He then asked several questions, in response to which a spokesperson told him that they came from a place more distant than Mars, that they had visited Earth on various occasions in the past, and that they did not appear in public because that would cause panic. Asked if they knew about music, he heard they had “something that might be considered as music, but that it had the power of raising the feelings to the highest exaltation.” After that, his car was transported back through the air to the spot from which it had been picked up. He told his story to an uncle, an official in the Peruvian police, who informed reporters.

Location: Waverly, Iowa
Description: 3:30 p.m. David Gibson is sitting in the front yard of his house in Waverly, Iowa, with his father and sister. They hear a high-pitched whine and see an object descending to the south. The silvery UFO is about 15–20 feet in diameter and looks like two saucers put together. It lands on a tree-lined hill out of view and the whining sound fades away. Gibson walks about a half-mile to take a look and briefly sees a “being,” about 3–3.5 feet tall, watching him from behind a tree at the top of the hill. It quickly vanishes and he hears a rush of air. He reaches the spot but sees no footprints. About 40 feet south of the tree he finds a burned area about 15–20 feet in diameter and three rectangular impressions in the shape of a triangle.

Description: 11:15 a.m. Maj. Jack D. Bond is sitting in a passenger seat of a T-29 aircraft on a heading of 300° and descending from 4,000 feet to 3,000 feet near Springfield, Ohio. He sees a UFO ascending and descending that is slightly higher than the T-29. It appears to be 5–7 miles away and moving in a general direction of 90°. The object’s speed is highly erratic during the 3 ascents and descents that the object makes. On its third descent the object appears to level off and accelerate at a speed of 690 mph or more. Project Blue Book evaluates this sighting as a solar mirage, even though the position and time of day rule that out.

These beings had dome-shaped heads (with white dots where there are usually hair) and protruding eyes. The faces had no expression, the eyes were gray like stone and the lower part of the face seemed heavily tanned. They wore V-neck sleeveless jerseys of purple color, with white shirts underneath. The frightened young girls ran away for 15 meters and when they looked back, they had disappeared.

Description: A 37-year-old civilian had just put his car in the garage when he saw an object about 100 m in diameter, shaped like a disk, which flew in front of the moon in a northerly direction at about 80 km/h. It was surrounded with orange lights that weakened as a blue source came on, very intense for about 3 sec then all lights disappeared as the object was about 700 m away. This was followed by a sort of “shock-wave” effect, and tree leaves were shaken. The witness entered his house and called the Air Force. Twenty minutes later his vision became hazy and his eyes were painful. He gradually lost vision in both eyes, and his entire body was “sunburned.” Medical examination compared the symptoms to ultraviolet exposure. His vision came back gradually over a period of several days.

Description: 9:30 p.m.? Leonard Chalupiak has just put his car into his garage at Baden, Pennsylvania, when he sees a disc-shaped object about 300 feet in diameter flying in front of the moon toward the north at about 50 mph and 2,300 feet away. It is surrounded with orange lights that weaken as a blue light comes on, which is intense for about 3 seconds. Then all the lights disappear and a sort of “shock wave” that shakes the tree leaves commences. The witness goes into his house and calls the Air Force. About 20 minutes later his vision becomes hazy, his eyes grow painful, and he gradually loses vision in both eyes. He notices his entire body is sunburned. A medical examination indicates exposure to ultraviolet radiation. His vision returns gradually over several days. The Air Force labels it a hoax, perhaps confusing it with the Beaver, Pennsylvania, hoax photo of August 8.

Date: 8/13/1965
Description: As he drove away after dropping off his two daughters Mr. Ryerson noticed two unusual “persons” walking along the side of the road next to a bean field. His two teenagers, Ellen Grace Ryerson, age 16, and Laura Jean Ryerson, 13, in Renton, Washington approached these two very unusual beings, while walking next to the bean field at seven o’clock in the morning. The little men were grey colored “like stone”, had no hair, and had large bulging eyes. The first “person” was described as like a gnome and wrinkled. He wore a funny little hat. He was dancing and jumping around in front of the other being as they approached. He was making a cackling sound that the girls thought sounded like laughter. The other being was approximately 5 feet tall. He had a very unusual head. His face was gray but the back of his head had a bulbous extension with veins showing through it. It pulsated. On the rest of his cranium there were large pores and this part of his head was white. His eyes were described as like a frog’s eyes. In his mouth he had a little pipe, and he was blowing on it and making a shrill sound. The taller one wore shiny clothes, like satin. Both beings wore sleveless purple vests over white coveralls. Ellen feared that they were going to grab her, so she yelled at her sister to run. The girls fled, and when they looked back after running 50 feet the beings had completely vanished.

Description: David G., age 14, and his father and sister were sitting in their yard at four o’clock in the afternoon in Waverly, Iowa when they heard a high-pitched whining sound and saw an aluminum object 15-20 feet in diameter, looking like “two saucers glued together,” descend slowly from the sky. It disappeared behind a hill a third of a mile away, and the young man walked over to the hill to investigate. When about 150 yards from the site, he saw a humanoid being 3.5 feet tall, with a baldhead, peeking out from behind a tree. He did not see the figure leave, but a minute or so later he saw a “blur” and heard a rush of air. At the landing site, in an old quarry, he found a 15-20 foot circle of burnt glass, within which were three indentations of 5” x 12” and an inch deep. The encounter lasted about a minute and occurred during a minor wave of reports from Iowa and elsewhere.

Event 25411 (1990ABEC)

Date: 8/14/1965
Description: On this day on the banks of the river in Cruzeiro, Santa Catarina province, Brazil, a little man only 28" tall, introduced himself to a fisherman named Joao do Rio as a UFOnaut. He had large luminous eyes, and spoke perfect Portuguese. He gave Sr. do Rio an “unearthly” metal. The metal was given to the national railroad car factory for analysis. At 8:00 p.m. that same evening a motorist had a close encounter with a black, 90-meter-wide domed disc, which hovered silently over a highway southwest of Itabira, Minas Gerais province, Brazil. The craft hovered just 1.2 meters above the surface of the road, and it followed the contours of the terrain when it departed.

Date: 8/14/1965
Description: At around 10:00 p.m. two youngsters, Marc & Luc Lafreniere, were in their home in Ville Lemoyne, Quebec, Canada when a strong light attracted them to the window. Looking outside they saw a large oval-shaped craft floating just above the ground. A tall humanoid figure with long dangling arms, and wearing a silvery jumpsuit, stood in front of the craft. The being walked towards the house and touched the front door briefly, and then returned to the craft, while the terrified witnesses hid in their room. They did not dare look to see the craft or the alien depart.

Description: 10:45 p.m.–12:20 a.m. A woman leaves her house on the northwest edge of Sedalia, Missouri, to drive to a drug store. As she is returning home, she sees an unusual figure in the ditch to her right. It turns and waves at her, then stumbles as it climbs out of the ditch. Something (a large bird?) flies up in the air a few feet from the car. She steps on the gas and goes home, where her husband asks her where she has been because it is now 12:25 a.m. In 1977, she undergoes hypnotic regression with hypnotist Ron Owen and recalls an abduction experience where she undergoes some type of examination.

Event 25431 (91656529)

Date: 8/16/1965
Description: A woman was driving home at 11:00 p.m. and was within a mile of her house in Sedalia, Missouri when she saw a light in a field with “smoke” around it. In a nearby ditch she noticed two large “birds,” one of which flew at her car. She arrived home at 12:25 a.m. unable to account for the lapse of time. Under hypnotic regression she recalled that the “birds” in the ditch where in fact two entities wearing spacesuits. One carried a sack on its back, into which the other was putting clumps of grass and soil samples. They were “bouncing up & down, their arms flopping at their sides” in a “stiff” manner suggestive of robots. One started to come out of the ditch, slipped back, then emerged and stood in front of her; its helmet beginning to glow brilliantly. She could now see that its head was wrapped up in tape like a mummy, with only the eyes visible. It stood slightly over five feet tall. At this point a football-shaped UFO landed on the road ahead of her car. Two beings with slightly pointed heads & “wrap around” eyes emerged from the object and opened her car door. They conducted her inside the craft, assuring her telepathically that she would not be hurt. The air inside the UFO was “heavy” and difficult to breathe. Once she was inside they flew the ship over a nearby field, which caused its interior lights to change from white to red. One of the entities, who did most of the communicating, appeared to be a scientist or doctor, and he wore an insignia of three rings on his chest. Another had a red lighting flash symbol on his uniform, and she took him to be the pilot. A third entity appeared to be a woman. All three stood 5’10” tall. The “doctor” put an object of some kind over her head, and she felt as if something were going into her brain. A round black object was then taken out of the wall, and with it “pictures” were taken of her; the object glowed blue when the pictures were taken. On a screen on the wall appeared a pattern: seven vertical lines with markings between them, which she thought must be some type of tabular representation of her brain and body. Two more figures, about a foot shorter than the other three, made their appearance. These beings resembled “gnomes,” and they aroused fear in the woman. They appeared old because their foreheads were wrinkled. She was told by the “doctor” that they and the “mummies” came from different planets. Finally she was led back to her car; the UFO ascended, and then vanished while still at low altitude.

Event 25449 (427FD7E0)

Date: 8/19/1965
Locations: Cherry Creek, New York; Niagara Falls Air Force Base; Lockport Air Force Station
Description: 8:20–9:00 p.m. Harold Butcher, 16, is milking the cows in his father’s barn in Cherry Creek, New York, and listening to radio station WKBW. Just outside, a 3-year old bull is tied by its nose to a metal pipe. Harold hears the bull make a noise “like I have never heard come from an animal before.” Looking out the window, he sees the animal is bending the pipe. Simultaneously, he sees a metallic-looking, football-shaped UFO about 50 feet long and approximately 20 feet thick hovering just above the trees an estimated 450 feet from the barn. Slowly, the object descends behind a maple tree, emitting a red vapor from around its edges and a “beep-beep” sound. Meanwhile, the radio is emitting static, even though WKBW usually has a clear signal. Harold calls the house on an intercom, then runs outside. As he approaches the bull, the UFO rises and moves behind some clouds “as fast as a snap of my fingers” emitting red vapor toward the ground, then bounces back to the ship as it hovers about 10 feet in the air. The noise also increases to a level approximating a sonic boom as it goes up. As the UFO disappears, the clouds turn green. Inside, the boy’s mother, Mrs. William Butcher, notes that there is “definite interference” in her radio reception. Harold’s brother, Robert, also goes outside and the two boys see that the UFO has reappeared, this time hovering over a pine grove. It ascends again, emitting the red vapor and turning the clouds green. Others in the house include William Butcher Jr. and Kathleen Brougham, a friend. They do not see the object. It returns twice at 8:45 and 9:00 p.m., finally disappearing to the southwest. Trooper E. J. Haas and a fellow officer arrive on the scene shortly thereafter. As they all walk out to inspect the area of the initial sighting, they notice a pungent odor. Harold and the young daughter suffer from upset stomachs. Mrs. Butcher says the cows produce only one can of milk that evening, as opposed to their usual two and a half cans. Harold discovers a purple, oily-smelling liquid and gives a sample of it to the state police, who turn it over to Capt. James A. Dorsey and five others from Niagara Falls Air Force Base [now Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station], who come to investigate the report the following afternoon. When NICAP investigator Jeffrey Gow arrives on the scene, he notices the foot-tall grass in the area “seemed to be bent over in long curved sweeps.” Radar targets are picked up between 8:00–8:30 p.m. by an AN/FPS-6 Long Range Height Finder Radar of the 763rd Radar Squadron at Lockport Air Force Station [now closed] near Shawnee, New York. The target is sighted near the upper limit of the radar.

Date: 8/20/1965
Description: At 11:50 a.m. several tourists in Cuzco, Peru, including Alberto Ugarte and Elwin Voter, observed a strange craft land near the Inca ruins that they were visiting. The object was a small silvery disc, only five feet in diameter, and it landed on a terrace of the Sacsahuaman Inca site. Two luminous dwarfish beings, “of strange shape and dazzling brightness,” briefly emerged from it. They were also described as having “vertical mouths.” They quickly got back inside into their craft, which then flew off.

Date: 8/20/1965
Description: At 11:00 p.m. local time Eduardo Lujan Yacobi and his wife, Teresa Ernestina Acuna, were returning to their home in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires province, Argentina when they heard a loud humming sound and saw a reddish glowing, oval-shaped object pass overhead and land 200 meters away. The object, which was flashing and rotating, brushed the tops of nearby trees in its passage overhead and, after landing, the Yacobis could see luminous red or violet figures moving about and examining the craft, as if in some type of repair activity. After a short while these figures re-entered the machine, which took off and disappeared within a few seconds. Others in the neighborhood had seen the object’s passage overhead, and still others had heard the humming noise. Total duration of incident was 30 minutes.

Event 25489 (5A774B95)

Date: 8/26/1965
Description: At 1:30 a.m. Hector Crespo, a highway engineer, his son Urgenio, and Francisco Lopez were approaching Zhulleng, 11 miles from Cuenca, Ecuador when they saw two beams of bright light shining up into the sky. On going to investigate what they believed was a car wreck; they found a circular object 20 feet in diameter, with a transparent dome on top. A bright amber light kept flashing around the edge, and flickering red and blue beams were shining downwards. The three men approached to within 60 feet of the UFO, and could see through an open doorway instruments and lights inside it. Three human-like figures were seen outside the object, one apparently adjusting the light beam projector, and the other two handing him tools. They all moved very slowly, “as if under water.” They were dressed in metallic-looking, silvery white, close-fitting coveralls, with wide white belts, dark epaulets, and shiny helmets. At one point two of the “men” turned and looked directly at the spot where the witnesses were watching from, as though knowing the operation was being observed, but simply returned to the repairs. The object stood on telescopic legs with curved dish-like footpads, although they were uncertain as to whether there were three or four legs. Crespo’s son became so frightened that he became nauseated, so they went back to their car. After awhile they saw the object take off, and the light moving around the edge was now a brilliant red and the vertical white beams had been extinguished. Just before it “took off like lighting,” it became too bright to look at.

1967 - Two newspaper delivery cyclists, Jones and Hollander, had come to a bridge in Crewe, Cheshire, England at 8:30 a.m. when they saw a hovering domed disc-shaped UFO. It had a transparent dome with an antenna, an elliptical body, and an undercarriage with three dark circles and many wires or tubes that were evident. A very well documented report.At 8:55 p.m. two witnesses in a residential neighborhood at Shrewbridge Crescent in Nantwich, Cheshire, England viewed in the sky what they described as a yellow elongated rugby ball with a dome through binoculars. It was as bright as the full moon, and estimated to be half a mile away, at 25 degrees elevation. It flew in an arc, hovered, and then went in front of a dark cloud, behind another low cloud. It made a sound like a turbojet. A shiny white cigar-shaped object was seen by five witnesses in Sandbach, Cheshire, England at 9:00 p.m. It was brighter than the moon and had blurry edges, but appeared to be solid. It flew from south to northwest low in the sky, and went in front of a black cloud. It was viewed for 30 seconds and made no sound.

Location: CHILE, San Kintin Valley
Description: (Translated from French) A group of hunters who were travelling through the valley suddenly found themselves in front of a real fleet of twelve flying saucers. At midnight four hunters saw above them a large luminous saucer. They shone the headlights of their cars on the object (note from vog: how did they do this?). Soon eleven new arrivals had joined the first saucer and formed a circle above the hunters. One of the latter, having had the idea to turn on and off his headlights alternately, the saucers did the same. (1965, before September)

The being had luminous hands, cat eyes and carried a wheel of metal or crystal, which it manipulated to produce a beam of light. (Janet and Colin BORD: “Modern Mysteries of the World” - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 343) In Jalapa, an object was seen hovering whose circumference was pierced with luminous slots and in which an entity dressed in black, with eyes shining like those of a cat, was seen holding a kind of metal bar that shone. The entity suddenly disappeared while a journalist from the place, two taxi drivers and a bullfighter observed it in the street.

Description: (Translated from French) Between 7:30 and 8:00 PM, Mrs. A.V. was driving at 90 km/h. Her husband was following in another car at a maximum of 500 m. When she arrived at the sharp turn, she felt that the direction of the car was no longer responding, the steering wheel was going left and right without any apparent reason. She felt strangely lifted with the car a few centimeters above the ground. At the same time, “a small neon” appeared a few centimeters from the windshield, opaque, light yellow in color, and it stayed there for a few seconds. It was like a tube 70 cm long and 4 cm thick, slightly curved upwards, with sharp and well-defined contours. Then, it suddenly disappeared. The car regained contact with the ground and the witness had passed the turn by a good 50 m. During the “transportation”, she had seen the dust from the road flying at a height of about one meter…

Location: Angleton, TX
Description: Project Blue Book File #(?): Damon/Angleton, TX. Deputy Sheriffs Billy E. McCoy and Robert W. Goode were investigating an UFO in the back-woods roads when the purplish UFO shot instantly towards them to within 150 feet and hovered at 100 feet off the ground. The bright glow illuminated the interior of the car and the surrounding fields (11:30 p.m.). “Every blade of grass stood out clearly” in the field.

Event 25526 (54934D6E)

Date: 9/3/1965
Location: USA, Exeter (New Hampshire)
Description: (Translated from French) 2 a.m. Witnesses: Exeter police officers Eugene Bertrand, Jr. and David Hunt, and civilian Norman Muscarello. A dark, elliptical object, surrounded by a series of red lights, maneuvered silently and erratically around houses and trees, while the lights blinked in sequence. Farm animals were screaming. Observation lasted about an hour. (Project Blue Book - cfr Don Berliner). 1:45 p.m. (note de vog: ???) a young man, Norman Muscarello, 18 years old, stumbled into the Exeter police station. He was out of breath from his run, green with fear and trembling so much that he couldn’t speak. When he calmed down he was able to tell Officer Tolan and Agent Bertrand that as he was returning home on Route 150, the area in front of him was suddenly illuminated by a blinding red light, then a strange aerial vessel rose above a clump of trees. As the craft approached Muscarello saw 4 or 5 bright red beams, coming out alternately from its base, in a continuous line back and forth. The lights blinked in an increasing and decreasing sequence: 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1. Panicked, Muscarello rushed behind a stone wall, which the craft slowly and silently flew over at less than 30 meters high, before hovering just above the house of a neighbor, Clyde Russel. This allowed the witness to observe that the craft was longer than the house and must have measured about thirty meters. Agents Bertrand and David Hunt also saw the craft.

Time: evening
Location: Damon, Texas
Description: Two Angleton sheriffs, McCoy and Robert Goode saw from their car a huge object 70 m long, 15 m high, with a bright, violet light at one end and a pale-blue light at the other. They stopped to watch it and saw the craft fly within 30 m, casting a huge shadow when it intercepted the moonlight. They felt a heat wave and drove away in fear, but returned to the site a second time, only to turn around when they found the object was still there. Goode had been bitten by an animal before the sighting, and his left index finger swelled and bled freely. After exposure to the light from the object, the pain was gone, and the wound cured unnaturally. Later that evening, two men found him at a restaurant and described the object in detail, adding he should keep future encounters to himself.

Event 25547 (FA643F9D)

Date: 9/3/1965
Locations: Exeter, New Hampshire; State Highway 101; Route 150 (Amesbury Road); Kensington, New Hampshire; Exeter police station; Route 150; Pease AFB [now Pease Air National Guard Base] in Portsmouth; Boston
Description: Around 1:00 a.m. Exeter, New Hampshire, Police Officer Eugene F. Bertrand Jr. comes across a woman parked on State Highway 101. “She was real upset,” he says, “and told me that a red glowing object had chased her.” Around 2:00 a.m., while walking home to Exeter on Route 150 (Amesbury Road) near Kensington, New Hampshire, teenager Norman J. Muscarello is terrorized by a large object with four or five bright red lights that approaches from nearby woods and hovers over a field. Horses are spooked. Muscarello gets a ride to the Exeter police station, pale and shaken, and reports the incident at 2:24 a.m. Officer Bertrand drives him back to the field along Route 150 to investigate. When he is called to investigate Muscarello’s report, the earlier incident causes him to pay attention. At first Bertrand and Muscarello see nothing, but when Bertrand flashes a light around the field around 3:00 a.m., a huge dark object with red flashing lights rises up over the trees, moving back and forth, tilts, and comes toward them. They both see pulsating red lights that dim from left to right then right to left in a 5- 4-3-2-1 then 1-2-3-4-5 pattern. Each cycle takes about 2 seconds. The object hovers for several minutes, and everything is silent except for the dogs and horses. Then it darts, turns sharply, slows down, and begins to move away. Another patrolman, David R. Hunt, pulls up and sees the pulsating lights and the UFO. Bertrand says the lights are always in a line and at a 60° angle; when the object moves, the lower lights are always forward of the others. In the daytime, the police station calls Pease AFB [now Pease Air National Guard Base] in Portsmouth to reconfirm the incident. By 1:00 p.m., 2–4 police officers arrive to interview the three witnesses at length. Journalist John G. Fuller investigates the case during the next month. He finds a huge gap between media coverage and local perceptions. Raymond Fowler finds that the local advertising plane operated by Sky-Lite Aerial Advertising Agency of Boston was not running between August 21 and September 10.

The two sheriff officers in the car, McCoy and Goode, saw the huge illuminated object speed toward their patrol car, hover, and illuminate them and the surrounding terrain in a purple light. They reported that there were bright lights on either end of the object: a weak blue light was seen on the extreme right of the object, which came out in two steps, and a purple light on the left, which lit the ground and bathed the car’s interior.The UFO hovered within 30 meters of them, casting a huge shadow when it intercepted the moonlight . They felt a sensation of heat, and drove away in fear. Later they returned to investigate and had another close encounter. One of the officers reported that a skin lession he had healed rapidly after their UFO close encounter.Goode had been bitten by an animal before the sighting, and his left index finger swelled and bled freely. After exposure to the light from the object the pain was gone, and the wound cured unnaturally quickly. Later that evening, two men found him at a restaurant and described the object in detail, adding he should keep future encounters to himself.

The man was tall, normal in appearance except for a very high forehead, and was dressed in a white coverall with a metal buckle at the waist. She was led across the grass to an area that was suddenly brightly illuminated from a door opening in a craft, which she described as a large round mass sitting on legs, about 100 feet from the road. There were three more cars stopped along the road, and the occupants of these vehicles were also being escorted into the craft. Their abductors were all over 6 feet tall, with very high foreheads, and bald. Inside the vessel were two “normal appearing” men, also in white coveralls, one with white hair. He was the only one who spoke during the experience, and he did so in a language unknown to the witness. The other “human” looked Italian, and was younger. The four tall occupants each appeared to be in charge of the four abductees and were identical in appearance. The room was filled with electronic equipment and control knobs, and telepathically she was told she would not recall the incident. The next thing she remembered was being led outside again by her “host,” and being helped into her car. The other three men were likewise being assisted to their cars. Mrs Gorzelle made a U-turn, and drove straight home, where she went directly to bed. Self-hypnosis indicated that a medical examination had been conducted, and that this was actually her second abduction experience.

Event 25556 (ABB403D2)

Date: 9/4/1965
Description: In an isolated area of the Green River Gorge, Washington State a man named Salsbury encountered a landed white, disc-shaped craft from which a loud voice resembling a “loud speaker” originated. It told him not to be afraid, and to put down his gun. Once he did that, an oval-shaped door opened under the lower part of the object, and a man came out walking slowly towards him. The man was described as six feet tall, appearing to be about 30 years of age. He was dressed in a one-piece tight-fitting suit made of some sort of metallic coating, resembling aluminum or chrome, but dull reflecting. He also wore a helmet that was very tight-fitting on his skull. On his side he carried an odd-looking sidearm with a barrel about the size of a regular flashlight, but instead of a hole in it, it had some sort of oval lens of a purplish-bluish color. He spoke to the witness in a very refined voice, telling him “Don’t be alarmed, I am not here to cause you any injury or harm.” The man told the witness that he was the captain of his craft, and invited him onboard for a brief tour.

Description: (Translated from French) At 8:30 in the morning, Antonio Pau Ferro, a black farmer, was working in his cornfield when he heard “a loud whistling noise” and, turning, he saw two bright discs about 1.5 meters wide and 60 cm thick slowly land a little below him, on the side of the hill. They stopped and then rose to about 5 meters, leaving behind two small beings about 70 to 80 cm tall, who apparently had come out of the discs. The small creatures looked like men, were well proportioned, with smooth, reddish-brown faces “exactly like wax” and normal eyes. They wore one-piece clothing that fit very tightly. Terrified, the farmer leaned against a tree, holding a pickaxe in one hand, and the creatures that had approached returned, speaking an unintelligible language. When the farmer thought “Could these be the people from the flying saucers they talk about?” they turned, smiled, approached him, examining a tomato plant and plucking a fruit as they passed. Then they moved away again, the discs hovering descended, and apparently the little people got on board because when the discs shot up vertically with a sharp whistle, the little men had disappeared.

Getting out of the car Paul Green sees an object as high as a gasometer approaching, topped with a dome lit from the inside, while the buzzing increases. Then, unable to move, the witness feels paralysis taking over. The dark base of the craft stops a few decimeters from his head. He feels cardiac and cervical fluctuations, dizziness and receives an electric shock leaving him unconscious but standing. A little further the scooterist is also petrified. Later Paul Green notices his clothes cracking, his hair wrinkling and breaking. A dog from the nearby village has its fur affected in the same way, after the passage of a bluish phenomenon in the sky.

The humming becomes a loud buzzing, and his engine sputters and dies and the headlight goes out. The light resolves into an enormous domed disc that tilts and slowly descends. The underside of the disc has numerous round items. Green walks toward the object, but he feels paralyzed as the flashing blue light becomes intense, fluctuating in rhythm with his heartbeat. He feels a tingling like an electric shock. The object seems to land in an area with farmhouses. Green notes that another cyclist has had a similar problem, but with some difficulty he gets his cycle started. The next day he notices that his hair and clothes are imbued with static electricity.

Description: Just after 12:00 midnight. Constables John Lockem and Koos de Klerk are patrolling on the Pretoria- Bronkhorstspruit highway in South Africa when their police van headlights suddenly illuminate a domed, disc- shaped object sitting on the road. The UFO is copper colored and about 30 feet in diameter. Within seconds, the object lifts off the road, emitting tongues of flame from two tubes or channels on the underside. Flames from the macadam road surface shoot up in the air about 3 feet as the UFO departs, blazing long after it is out of sight. Later investigation shows that part of the road is caved in as if from a heavy weight, and the gravel is separated from the tar in a severely burned area about 6 feet in diameter. Lt. Col. J. B. Brits, district commandant of Pretoria North, tells the media that the incident is considered “as being of a highly secret nature and an inquiry is being conducted in top circles.” Samples of the road surface are taken for analysis by a leading scientific agency; the report is never made public.

Date: Fall 1965
Locations: Chesapeake & Ohio; Fostoria, Ohio
Description: 10:30 a.m. A Chesapeake & Ohio train is moving 8 miles south of Fostoria, Ohio, when the fireman and engineer see a large cigar-shaped object in the sky a considerable distance away. It is dark in color and positioned at a 45° angle from the horizon. It appears to be creating its own cloud screen. Suddenly a small object falls out of the tail and descends slowly in a fluttering fashion. Near the ground the small object stabilizes, emits coal-black smoke from its top, and then rises upward faster and faster. Three more objects leave the large one, each taking 10–12 minutes. They go off in different directions. After the last one leaves, a white cloud forms around the large object, which remains in the sky with other normal white clouds.

Event 25648 (E65E59D3)

Date: Late 9/1965
Location: Fort-de-France, Martinique
Description: 9:15 p.m. Two French submarines, the Junon (S648) and the Daphné (S641), escorted by the logistic support vessel Rhône, are anchored off Fort-de-France, Martinique, when a large luminous object the color of a fluorescent tube arrives slowly and silently from the west. Michel Figuet on the Junon goes into the coming tower and gets six pairs of binoculars that he distributes to companions. There are 300 witnesses, including four officers on the Junon, three officers on the Daphné, a dozen French sailors, and personnel of the weather observatory. All witnesses aboard the Junon see the object as a large ball of light or a disc on edge arriving from the west. It moves slowly, horizontally, at a distance estimated at 6 miles south of the ships, from west to east. It leaves a whitish trace similar to the glow of a TV screen. When it was directly south of the ships the object drops toward the earth, makes two complete loops, then hovers in the midst of a faint halo. Figuet watches the object vanish in the center of its glow “like a bulb turned off.” The trail and the halo remain visible in the sky for a full minute. At 9:45 p.m. the halo reappears at the same place, and the object switches on again. It rises, makes two more loops, and flies away to the west, where it disappears at 9:50 p.m.

Event 25692 (B60D4735)

Date: 10/7/1965
Location: USA, Edward’s Air Force Base
Description: (Translated from French) The audio documentation of Sam Sherman, “The Edwards Air Force Base Encounter” from the night of October 7, 1965, contains copies of the current voice recordings made available by the Air Force. During this night of October 7, 1965, twelve extremely bright UFOs invaded the airspace and descended to low altitude above the runways of Edwards Base, where operator Chuck Sorrels, in the control tower, saw them and reported the event to his superiors. I met Sorrels who can be heard on the tape and he confirms that this is indeed what he said. The UFOs are described and an interception decision is taken involving F-106s. This is without a doubt the best audio tape ever heard about UFOs and the recording itself is an unparalleled event. A copy can be obtained for (May 1999) $14.95 each, plus shipping $2.00, for a total of $16.95 – The buyer can also send a check to Independent International, Box 565, Dept. GF, Old Bridge, New Jersey 08857. [note from vog: I’m not advertising the cassette, I’m just translating the accounts of the “events”. Here it is obviously ufobusiness…]

Event 25693 (E5AE1385)

Date: 10/7/1965
Description: (Translated from French) Sergeant Tech Charles “Chuck” Sorrels, an Edwards Air Base control tower operator, sees a group of objects emitting red, white, and blue lights approaching the airfield. When these objects begin to perform unusual maneuvers, he concludes that this is not ordinary and notifies the Air Defense Command - in this case, a unit called LAADS (Los Angeles Air Defense Sector). Major Struble of LAADS orders the conversations to be recorded. He involves NORAD and other air bases: Norton, Hamilton, George, and March. The major wants to send planes towards the objects but cannot do so until a captain from Edwards has approved the sending of the planes. This captain is the “UFO officer” responsible at the base. It is requested that the planes can depart from the 28th Air Division at Hamilton, or else they will not take off at all. (October 7th, 0:30)

Event 25707 (05778DD1)

Date: Mid 10/1965
Locations: Cochrane, Alberta; Circle J Ranch
Description: 9:30 a.m. Bill Hertzke, a ranch hand on the Circle J Ranch near Cochrane, Alberta, is on his horse in a pasture when he sees an object like a small airplane parked on the ground. It is silver-gray with swept-back wings, about 16 feet long, a wingspan of about 12 feet, and its fuselage is about 4-5 feet deep. He rides over and examines it. The exterior is irregular, “like a waffle.” A transparent dome covers the cockpit. Through it he can see complicated instruments (knobs, dials, and switches), a TV screen, and two transparent (like Plexiglas) bucket seats. There are no visible motors, propellers, jets, insignia, or identifying marks of any kind. It has an exterior door about 2 feet wide and 3 feet high that is open about 2 inches. His horse is extremely skittish, so he ties it to a tree and returns on foot. He spends 10–15 minutes examining it and can see no landing gear (although it seems to be suspended 18–20 inches off the ground) or seams of any kind. He realizes he can go inside the door but is a bit too scared to even touch the object, and has to return to chores anyway.

Event 25719 (60A726E6)

Date: 10/21/1965
Locations: Saint George, Minnesota; Gibbon
Description: 6:10 p.m. Five witnesses are in a car near Saint George, Minnesota, returning to their homes in Gibbon from a bow-hunting trip. Arthur A. Strauch, a Sibley County deputy sheriff, is the first to spot a strange object that seems to be 2,000 feet above the ground and a quarter of a mile distant in the northwest sky. After watching for about 10 minutes from the car, the group drives down the road about a half mile and stops. Strauch observes it both with the naked eye and through 7x35 binoculars. At first they hear no sound, but as the object flies over them, Donald Martin Grewe describes the sound as a “whistling whine.” Strauch snaps a photograph just as the object begins to move. The object then flies into the wind for several hundred feet, then stops for a few seconds, at which time its lights change from bright white to dull orange, alternating several times. It then moves toward the southeast at a high rate of speed and disappears out of sight.

Event 25721 (F1017B50)

Date: 10/22/1965
Locations: Gauteng, South Africa; Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory; Jet Propulsion Lab
Description: Afternoon. Geof Gray-Cobb, a Canadian technician working with the Deep Space Instrumentation Facility [now the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory] in Gauteng, South Africa, in tracking Mariner 4, is present when the spacecraft’s signal strength begins rising at a point when it should not have. The team alerts the Jet Propulsion Lab. The signal strength is now so high that the instruments are clicking as they max out. Gray- Cobb says the “raw radio energy” is coming in indecipherable “blips and dashes.” Nothing can be seen visually. Eight minutes later, everything goes silent. JPL later asks them to point their dish in the direction it was pointing when they picked up the signal. They do, but forget to correct for the earth’s rotation. Nonetheless, they get the signal again, which means it is a local source. Nothing is visible in the sky, but a sound sweep reveals that the source is a perfect circle 2° in diameter. The team directs a packet of radio pulses at the source, but it falls silent. Two months later, Gray-Cobb discovers that the pages for the event are gone from the log; the tape recording of the event is also missing. The manager tells him that two men with “authorization” had come three days after the event to confiscate the tapes.

Description: Evening. José Camilo Filho is walking through a field near the city cemetery in Canhotinho, Pernambuco, Brazil, when he runs across two little men only 3 feet high with whitish hair sitting next to a tube 4 feet tall and resting on the ground. When they see Camilo, they jump up in a disorganized fashion, colliding with each other. One picks up the tube and the other points a straw at Camilo, who runs ahead. He decides to return and take a closer look, but the men and tube are gone.

Description: James Townsend, 19, was driving on Highway 27 when his engine, lights, and radio stopped operating. He then observed an object 10 m tall, about 3 m in diameter, shaped somewhat like a rocket, sitting on fins on the road. Three creatures with “tripod legs and matchstick arms,” brownish-black in color, having no eyes or facial features, stood in a large, lighted circle under it, facing the witness for a few moments before disappearing in the intense light. The object rose straight up for 400 m, with a high-pitched humming sound, stopped and vanished. The car then resumed normal operation by itself.

Event 25727 (C1A99FD8)

Date: 10/23/1965
Locations: State Highway 27; Long Prairie, Minnesota
Description: Night. KEYL-AM radio announcer James F. Townsend, 19, is driving on State Highway 27 four miles east of Long Prairie, Minnesota, when he slams on his brakes to avoid hitting a rocket-like device resting on three legs or fins. As his car skids to a stop 20 feet from the object, the vehicle’s motor and electrical system die. The object looks like it is made of stainless steel, stands 30–40 feet high, and is 10 feet in diameter. In a circle of light under it, Townsend sees three things that resemble beer cans with “tripod legs and three matchstick arms.” They have no eyes, but Townsend feels as if they are looking at him. He gets out of the car to try to knock one over, but they come over to him and they stand there looking at him. Eventually they turn around and “scoot under the ship,” disappearing into the light beneath it. An ear-splitting humming sound emanates from the UFO, which assumes a bright illumination and shoots off. The Todd County sheriff and UFO investigators assume that Townsend, a deeply religious man, is sincere.

Event 25728 (223F6B91)

Date: 10/23/1965
Description: James Townsend, age 19, a radio announcer for KEYL Radio, had a close encounter with a UFO and three creatures at about 7:15 p.m. on a road about four miles east of Long Prairie, Minnesota. As he was driving around a curve in the road he saw an upright, rocket-like object straddling the road. It was about 30 or 40 feet high and about 10 feet in diameter, resting on legs or fins. His car engine stalled, the lights and radio went out, and he slammed on the brakes and stopped twenty feet in front of it. His first thought was to knock it over with the car so he would have some evidence, but the engine had already stalled. Then he got out with the idea of trying to push it over by hand.

“When I got to the front of my car, three creatures that looked like individual tin cans on tripods, and were six inches tall, came from behind the rocket. They didn’t have eyes that I could see, but I knew they were looking at me. I stopped. I didn’t have any desire to get closer. There was no sound–just dead silence. It seemed like ages as we looked at each other. Then they went up into the rocket, which had a bright colorless light glowing out of the bottom. There was a loud hum. The rocket went up and disappeared. When the light on the bottom went out after it was in the air, my car radio and light came on, and my engine started without having to touch the starter.”

Townsend said his car had an automatic transmission and he had placed the selector lever in “park.” Townsend said his heart was pounding and his legs were like rubber. He drove at high speed back to Long Prairie to report his close encounter. Townsend said the craft took off, looking “just like a flashlight that is turned on and then lifted up from the table with the light at the bottom.” That night several hunters in the Long Prairie area claimed to have seen a strong light above them that lit up the ground. Other hunters reported seeing a lighted object circle around and around in the sky over their farm.

Around the same time, John Fuller hears from an Air Force pilot that pilots have been ordered to shoot down UFOs when possible, but the objects appear to be “invulnerable” and can outmaneuver any aircraft.

Date: 11/5/1965
Location: ARGENTINA, Duringo
Description: (Translated from French) A shepherd, José Luis Fernandez and his 15-year-old son Ignacio, were on a high plateau and saw a disk that stopped in the sky. After a minute of waiting, a round hole opened in the base of the spacecraft, from which reddish vapors emerged. Then a Martian appeared, which the two witnesses agreed to describe in the same way: "It looked like a big lizard, 80 cm long; it had mouse ears, six tubular arms and a long tail ending in an olive leaf. He held an object, a kind of metal umbrella, with three very thin supports that he waved as if he were making signals. After observing everything carefully, he jumped to the ground and, of course, José and Ignacio ran away.

Event 25764 (6673C265)

Date: 11/9/1965
Locations: Ontario; Connecticut; Massachusetts; New Hampshire; New Jersey; New York; Rhode Island; Pennsylvania; Vermont; Queenston, Ontario; Niagara Falls; Syracuse; Holliston, Massachusetts
Description: 5:16 p.m. The Northeast power blackout, a significant disruption in the supply of electricity, affects parts of Ontario, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Over 30 million people and 80,000 square miles are left without electricity for up to 13 hours. The cause of the failure is the setting of a protective relay on one of the transmission lines from the Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Power Station No. 2 in Queenston, Ontario, near Niagara Falls. Prior to and coincident with the blackout, there are a number of reports of unusual lights in Syracuse and Niagara Falls, New York, and Holliston, Massachusetts, and there is speculation that the blackout is related to UFO activity in some way. But there is no evidence of a direct connection.

Date: 11/10/1965
Location: Manhattan, New York City
Description: Before dawn. Actor Stuart Whitman is staying in a hotel in Manhattan, New York City, during the Northeast power blackout. He hears a “sound, like a whippoorwill whistling outside my twelfth-story window.” He steps to the window and sees 2 luminous UFOs hovering nearby, one orange, the other blue. He hears voices from the UFOs in his head, telling him they are fearful of earth because humans are messing around with “unknown quantities” that might disrupt the balance of the universe. They claim the blackout is a small demonstration of their power and ask Whitman to do what he can to fight malice, prejudice, and hate on earth. The objects disappear.

Event 25774 (1324EFDB)

Date: 11/13/1965
Description: Two odd looking craft were seen floating or hovering near the surface of the ocean at the southern tip of New Zealand. Two fisherman, Mr. R. D. Hanning, age 41, skipper of the fishing vessel Eleoneai, and Mr. W. J. Johnson made the sighting. They had set out from Bluff, the port of Invercargill, New Zealand, to tend pots in the area of Stewart Island, the southernmost part of New Zealand. At 11:30 a.m. they were about half a mile off Rugged Islands when they saw a strange craft come out of the water. Its tapered structure rose about 15 feet above the water and measured 5 feet high at the top and 12 feet at the water line. Then, about 30 feet away, a second box-shaped object, about 10 feet long and 5 feet high, was seen. There was no sign of any periscope or railing and nothing but the ‘tower’ and ‘box’ were visible. The water was smooth and the objects were in clear view 300 yards away. After 10 seconds there was suddenly a great surging of water and both object vanished beneath the surface. Both men were rather startled at this display and in fact were somewhat frightened by it. They hung around for a few minutes, decided not to wait any longer, and steamed off. The water at the spot where they had made the sighting was about 30 fathoms deep to a sandy bottom.

Event 25822 (ED1C41FE)

Date: 12/9/1965
Locations: Detroit, Michigan; Windsor, Ontario; Michigan; Northern Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Kecksburg, Pennsylvania; Johnson Atoll; Vandenberg AFB
Description: 4:47 p.m. A large, brilliant fireball is seen by thousands in at least six states and Ontario, Canada. It streaks over the Detroit, Michigan–Windsor, Ontario, area, reportedly drops hot metal debris over Michigan and northern Ohio starting some grass fires and causes sonic booms in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, metropolitan area. It is generally assumed and reported by the press to be a meteor after authorities discount other proposed explanations such as a plane crash, errant missile test, or reentering satellite debris. However, eyewitnesses in the small village of Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, claim something has crashed in the woods. A boy sees the object land; his mother Frances Kalp sees a wisp of blue smoke rising from the woods and alerts local radio station WHJB. Another observer reports feeling a vibration and “a thump” about the time the object reportedly lands. Others from Kecksburg, including local volunteer fire department members (Carl Metz and Paul Shipco), report seeing an object in the shape of an acorn and about as large as a Volkswagen Beetle. Writing resembling Egyptian hieroglyphs is also said to be in a band around the base of the object. A reporter and news director for WHJB, John J. Murphy, arrives on the scene of the event before authorities have arrived, in response to several calls to the station from alarmed citizens. He takes several photographs and conducts interviews with witnesses. His former wife Bonnie Millslagle later reports that all but one roll of the film is confiscated by military personnel. WHJB office manager Mabel Mazza describes one of the pictures: “It was very dark and it was with a lot of trees around and everything. And I don’t know how far away from the site he was. But I did see a picture of a sort of a cone-like thing. It’s the only time I ever saw it.” Witnesses further report that an intense military presence, most notably the US Army, is secures the area, orders civilians out, seals the area within 2 hours of the event, and then removes an object on a flatbed truck. The military claims they have searched the woods and can find “absolutely nothing.” The official explanation of the widely seen fireball is that it is a mid-sized meteor, as suggested, for example, by University of Michigan astronomer William P. Bidelman. However, speculation as to the identity of the Kecksburg object (if there was one—reports vary) include an alien craft; debris from Kosmos 96 (James Oberg), a Soviet space probe intended for Venus that fails and never leaves the Earth’s atmosphere (now seen as unlikely); a General Electric Mark 2 Reentry Vehicle launched from Johnson Atoll in the Pacific Ocean on December 7 by the Air Force as a spy satellite (John Ventre and Owen Eichler); and a secret Corona spy satellite, KH-4A 1027, launched from Vandenberg AFB [now Vandenberg Space Force Base] on December 9 (Bob Wenzel Gross).

Event 25824 (51F98CB9)

Date: 12/10/1965
Description: An anonymous Air Force security team member at Lockbourne AFB near Columbus, OH states he guarded an object on 10 December 1965 after it arrived from Pennsylvania. He states it was there for the morning and sent to WPAFB. Another source, a truck driver, states he saw a flatbed trailer with an object shaped like a “bell” under a tarp sitting upright.

This matches what witnesses say they saw crashed in Kecksburg, PA on 9 December 1965, a bell shaped object. John Podesta stated in 2003 that it was questionable how the “unexplained crash” records were not released by NASA.

Event 25825 (90EDCE67)

Date: 12/11/1965
Description: Charles Jones, who claims to be psychic and has frequently reported UFO sightings ever since 1947, was driving home between Sheridan and Lamong, Indiana at 1:05 p.m. when he saw a lighted object come down through the low clouds. It was shaped like a cigar, but with the rear end cut off on a bevel, and it bore a red and white blinking light. The front had a transparent surface and through it Jones could see a very stockily built, six-foot tall occupant. The being appeared to be hiding his face from the witness. He wore a tight-fitting headpiece, continuous with the coveralls, that obscured the hair and ears. Jones did however observe one eye, which he said was larger than normal sized and set more toward the side of the head. The face also had a wide nose and jowls. The complexion of the face was dark bronze, and the entity was wearing a one-piece brown coverall. The object was less than 60 feet off the ground and approximately 150 feef from the left side of the road, traveling north.

Location: Herman, Minnesota
Description: 11:45 p.m. Edward A. Bruns is driving his father’s 1962 Ford pickup truck, heading west just south of Herman, Minnesota. He sees a bright, oval-shaped object hovering several feet above the road. It covers the entire road and is shaped like two saucers with a dome on top. A window-like structure surrounds the dome and emits a green light. Suddenly the truck engine stops, the headlights go out, and the vehicle lifts up, spins violently to the right, ending up in a ditch on the other side of the road. Stunned, Bruns stares at the UFO, which makes a whistling sound, emits sparks, shoots upward, and disappears. He runs home, scared and nervous. His father goes to the site of the crash but cannot get the truck out. A reporter later confirms seeing the truck in the ditch with a complete “absence of skid marks in the snow to account for how it got there.”

Event 25873 (0519CEE6)

Date: 1/5/1966
Description: Violet Bricker was driving two miles north of La Harpe, Illinois on Rte. 94 at 8:15 a.m. when she observed a light flash that she first believed was an approaching plane. As it neared she saw it was more dirigible-shaped and closed rapidly on a collision course with her. It stopped and hovered over the telephone lines opposite her car. It was ovoid shaped and made no sound, and was about as long as a Piper Club. It had a single bright yellow-white light on the end facing her. There were no doors, ports, or landing gear visible, but a lateral line like a seam encircled the UFO. It began revolving in a clockwise motion on its axis, bringing the other end in view and exposing a two-foot platform on which stood a “man” wearing a bulky, white, one-piece suit. He was about five and one half feet tall, stocky build, and he stood with his left hand against the object and his right hand on his hip, staring directly down on the witness. His face had a ruddy complexion and his eyes were dark, but he looked entirely normal otherwise. The object drifted about on its axis and the man was lost from view. Ms. Bricker was so taken aback by the experience she could not recall if she actually stopped her car or not. She recalled seeing a man and a woman on foot not 20 feet away to whom she signaled frantically to catch their attention, but to no avail.

They fit together without the edges touching. Honestly, I can’t describe it any better. I won’t say it reflected light, but rather that it was luminous, you know, like the luminous dial of an alarm clock at night. I know it was something material, and I won’t budge on that. The outline was very clear. At no point was it blurry. We had the impression that it was a solid body, like when you look at an airplane… It was exactly as if, from below, I had seen an airplane just above me… Perfectly still… We had been observing the thing for maybe 5 minutes when it shot off at a dizzying speed. And yet, without a single sound being heard. (January 11, 3:05 AM)

Event 25919 (AD178508)

Date: 1/17/1966
Locations: Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Spain; Palomares, Spain; Savannah River plant in South Carolina
Description: A B-52G Strategic Air Command bomber collides with a KC-135 tanker during mid-air refueling at 31,000 feet over the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Spain. The tanker is completely destroyed and the B-52G breaks apart, killing 3 of its 7 crew members. Of the four Mk28-type hydrogen bombs the B-52G carries, three are found on land near the small fishing village of Palomares, Spain. The non-nuclear explosives in two of the weapons detonate upon impact with the ground, resulting in the contamination of a 0.77-square-mile area by plutonium. The fourth, which falls into the Mediterranean, is recovered intact after a 2 1⁄2-month-long search. Some 800 individuals with no hands-on expertise improvise search and decontamination procedures. More than 1,400 tons of radioactive soil and plant life are excavated and shipped to the Savannah River plant in South Carolina for burial.

Event 25925 (1D7DC3B1)

Date: 1/18/1966
Locations: China Lake Naval Ordnance Test Station; Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake; western Mojave Desert, California
Description: 4:55 p.m. Two surveyors are taking readings at China Lake Naval Ordnance Test Station [now Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake] in the western Mojave Desert, California. The surveyor using a theodolite hears a hum, looks up, and sees a UFO flying nearly straight at him from an angle of 35°–40° and from almost exact north. It passes directly overhead at less than 150 feet, then dives smoothly, turns to the east, then comes to within 10 feet of the sloping ground. The surveyor observes the object through the theodolite until it is lost in front of a lava flow about 2 miles away. Both observers (the other one is in a truck) say it is moving at 150 mph and it is a dull black color and very quiet. They attempt to report the sighting, but the radio is garbled. Their truck has difficulty starting, and the theodolite exhibits an odd change in the gravity reference indicator, requiring it to be re-leveled.

It passed directly overhead at an estimated 150 feet. It trailed a “wake” behind it like a jet dumping fuel. They noticed that the object had some kind of field effect on their theodolite, moving its setting west by 5 level gradations.

It passes overhead less than 150 feet, dives smoothly, turns east and comes within 10 feet of the ground before flying over the horizon. The surveyors say it is traveling at 150mph, dull black, quiet and its presence interfered with their radio. They also have a theodolite and notice the gravity reference indicator exhibits an “odd” change.

Date: 1/19/1966
Location: AUSTRALIA, Tully (Queensland)
Description: (Translated from French) At 9 o’clock in the morning, farmer George Pedley was returning to his farm driving his tractor. Suddenly he heard a loud whistling that overpowered the noise of the engine, like the sound of air escaping from a punctured tire. While still driving he checked his tires: they were intact. He continued on his way without paying further attention to the noise. "Suddenly I saw a large machine, of metallic appearance, rise from the marshland, at great speed, about 25 m from me. It was a bluish-gray color, 8 to 10 m wide and almost 3 m high. It seemed to me that it was spinning on its axis at an extremely high speed. It rose from the ground to about twenty meters, then it made a slight downward movement before quickly rising to the sky, where it disappeared in a few seconds at a fantastic speed. I saw no windows or antennas. Neither in the machine nor outside, I noticed any sign of life. (…) "

About 25 yards in front of him, he saw a machine taking off from the marsh. Blue-gray in color, it measured about 25 feet wide and 9 feet high. It circled and rose about 6 feet before taking off. All was finished in a few seconds, the craft departed at a terrifying speed, Pedley would declare. He later discovered the first “nest” with the reeds flattened in the direction of the clock hands. Other similar “saucer nests” were discovered nearby. See images/tully.jpg.

Event 25936 (5716C723)

Date: 1/19/1966
Location: Tully, Queensland, Australia
Description: Around 9:00 a.m. A banana grower, George Pedley, is driving a tractor about one half mile from a farmhouse at Tully, Queensland, Australia, owned by Albert Pennisi. Pedley’s attention is drawn by a hissing sound, clearly heard over the noise from the tractor’s engine. He looks about for the source of the noise and sees an unusual object about 75 feet away. It is some 30 feet in the air, rising vertically, and is shaped like “two saucers face to face.” It is light gray in color, dull, and non-reflective. He estimates its size as 25 feet long by 8–9 feet deep. The hissing diminishes as the object rises to a height of 60 feet, then departs, climbing at about an angle of 45°, extremely fast, to the southwest. The duration of his observation is only 5–6 seconds. The object appears to be always rotating. After its departure, Pedley finds a clearly defined, nearly circular depression in swamp grass, in a water-filled lagoon, at the point where he first saw it. The marking is about 32 feet long by 25 feet wide. The grass on the surface of the water is flattened in a clockwise direction. Royal Australian Air Force intelligence officers find a variety of circles in the area, ranging from 8 to 30 feet in diameter. Within each circle the plant roots are pulled completely out of the soil, as if the ground has been subjected to an intense rotary force.

Event 25943 (BD599553)

Date: 1/21/1966
Description: At around midnight near Shearwater Lake in Crockerton, Wiltshire, England a resident of Frome, riding on a motorcycle, saw three “gray garbed and white faced” figures, looking like frogmen, jump into a hedgerow. They had wide-spaced eyes and no apparent mouths. One figure was seen to have fair hair. They were shorter than normal humans, but with big shoulders, rather large heads, and thin legs. He turned around and came back, and saw a “large saucer of light” rise from the lakeside. The saucer hovered briefly before flying off in the direction of Cley Hill. Ground traces were found at the site.

Event 25952 (5FA81866)

Date: 1/30/1966
Description: (Translated from French) A reader of the Sydney Sun Herald suggests that the “nests” discovered in Queensland (Australia) a few days earlier are caused by a large, shy bird with a blue body and red spots on its head, a type of crane or blue heron. Many times when he was barefoot in the bushes, he said he had seen the birds dancing but they flew away quickly before he could reach them. They looked like a blue, vaporous cloud that, for sure, made a shrill noise when flying away. The ornithologist of the Australian Museum, H. J. Disney, states that cranes cannot make circular depressions of a geometric design. Likewise, he is skeptical of the theory of the bald coot put forward by another man, Ken Adams, from Gooloogong. I have never heard of this appearance in the bird, Disney declares. (January 30)

Description: A six-member Ad Hoc Committee to Review Project Blue Book, headed by University of Rochester optical physicist Brian O’Brien, meets at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. All but one (astronomer Carl Sagan) are members of the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board (psychologist Launor F. Carter, industrial psychologist Jesse Orlansky, rocket scientist Richard W. Porter, computer engineer Willis Ware), and none have any sympathy with the idea that UFO reports represent anything extraordinary. Also attending is Lt. Col. Harold A. Steiner, assistant secretary to the Scientific Advisory Board. They receive a briefing from Quintanilla, review the Robertson Panel report, and examine a few UFO cases. The group recommends that Blue Book “be strengthened to provide opportunity for scientific investigation of selected sightings in more detail and depth than has been possible to date.” Furthermore, USAF should negotiate contracts “with a few selected universities to provide scientific teams to investigate promptly and in depth certain selected sightings of UFOs…. The universities should be chosen to provide good geographical distribution.” They also conclude that “perhaps 100 sightings a year might be subjected to this close study, and that possibly an average of 10 man-days might be required per sighting so studied. The information provided by such a program might bring to light new facts of scientific value.” The group recommends that Blue Book data be given “wide unsolicited circulation among prominent members of the Congress and other public persons.” The Air Force ignores their recommendations.

Interference with the lights in the house and a high frequency noise that hurt the witnesses’ ears. Duration: 5-10 minutes. (Project Blue Book - cfr Don Berliner). RR1. 06 h 05 - 3 witnesses - duration: 5 minutes. “Looking out the window I realized that a red glow was illuminating the whole neighborhood. (…) I called my wife telling her to come and see, that something must have happened nearby. And then suddenly I realized that the light was coming from above. Looking up I could make out the outline of an object passing over my roof, at an altitude between 75 and 150 meters. The red glow was coming from underneath the object, towards the center. It looked like a stream of light coming out of an opening. My neighbor’s green truck looked brown. An airplane took off from the aerodrome and passed over the object. All the lights went out until the plane had passed. Then after blinking rapidly three or four times, it changed its westward course for a south-west route and entered the clouds.” (February 6, 1966)

Event 25976 (C512319E)

Date: 2/6/1966
Locations: Aluche, Madrid, Spain; Spain
Description: Around 8:00 p.m. Several persons in the barrio of Aluche, Madrid, Spain, allegedly see an unusual flying object. Looking out a window, Maria Ruiz Torres watches an object descending. She sees a “gigantic eye” looking at her through a porthole. Another witness, Juan Jiminez Dias, thinks he sees a door open in the craft. Other observers include soldiers at a nearby ammunition dump. Motorist José Luis Jordán Peña gets a close, extended view of the object, which he characterizes as “enormous.” Jordán Peña sends Spanish ufologist Antonio Ribera a sketch of the UFO, which has three legs and a curious symbol on its underside—something like two reverse parentheses with a vertical bar positioned between them. No other witness mentions anything like this. In 1992, Jordán Peña confesses to hoaxing his sighting, including the landing marks and physical traces, in order to prove his theory that paranoia is much more widespread in Spain that psychiatrists are willing to admit.

Locations: Toledo, Oregon; Reeves home
Description: Kathleen Reeves and a friend are walking on a rural road near their homes in Toledo, Oregon, when they think they see a neighbor’s field on fire. The fire seems oddly dome-shaped. They continue walking and see another smaller, duller light. Kathleen thinks it might be a prank, so she throws a rock at it. Suddenly, a group of much larger lights come on all around the small one. Frightened, the girls run home. Over the next few months, through October, the Reeves home experiences such poltergeist phenomena as whirring or sawing noises, rose-colored lights inside, small rings of light that crawl over the bedroom walls, and light beams.

Description: 10:40 a.m. A security guard at the Fábrica Nacional de Motores in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, alerts 10 employees to a mysterious light that is approaching the factory. It descends to 1,500–1,800 feet and hovers above the plant. The object is approximately 18 feet in diameter and emits a brilliant white light that makes it difficult to look at directly. It periodically flashes even brighter. Plant director Col. Jorge Alberto Silveira Martins calls the Army and Air Force. After 30 minutes, the object dims and moves away at tremendous speed before the Army trucks arrive.

Event 26082 (3EAC089C)

Date: 3/18/1966
Location: ARGENTINA, near Deseade, south of the San Jorge Gulf
Description: (Translated from French) At 4:00 PM, on a deserted beach about fifteen kilometers north of Deseade (south of the San Jorge Gulf), Carlos Corosan, a thirty-five year old farmer, saw a large wingless cigar-shaped craft. He said it was less than thirty-five meters away and estimated its length to be about twenty meters; it had a metallic look and reflected the rays of the setting sun. Its color was gray-black and its surface, apparently smooth, without visible markings or windows or any kind of external organs. However, gray smoke was coming out of the tail.

Corosan said that “it was rocking quietly” with a sound like an automobile having engine trouble. And then "the mysterious craft stopped and emitted a brief, muffled jet of smoke (sic), after which the smoke became “very dark black”. Corosan, having judged that it was not a normal craft, ran to take cover. At that moment, the object was hovering about a dozen meters above the water; it kept this position for a few minutes. Then it began to buzz and “vibrate all over as if it was going to explode”. The buzzing was followed by another brief explosion, and the craft began to rise slowly, heading northeast, with the same rocking movements. Corosan was about to leave his shelter, intending to report the thing to the authorities, but he heard a much louder explosion, followed by a decrease in the buzzing. He turned around and just had time to see the object “crash” into the sea. “It didn’t float at all. It just hit the water with a huge splash and went down very quickly.”

They walk over to the area for a look, taking about 30 minutes, and see a pyramid-shaped object with a rounded top, corrugated surface, and blue, red, and white lights. Mannor’s son-in-law Bob Wagner, back at the house, sees the object light up and rise to 500 feet, then come down again making some noise. Washtenaw County sheriff’s deputies David Fitzpatrick and Stanley McFadden arrive about 9:00 p.m. drive towards the swamp on Quigley Road. They see a brilliant light that dims and then reappears. By this time a crowd has gathered. One man reports that when two flashlights appear in the distance, the object seems to react by flying away at high speed. At another point the object passes directly over the Mannors with a whistling sound like a rifle bullet ricocheting. It remains in the swampy area for 30 minutes.

Description: 10:32 p.m. Cynthia “Pinky” Poffenberger and 16 other Hillsdale (Michigan) College students see a football- shaped object with red, green, and white pulsating lights descend from the sky and pass close to their dorm. It settles in a hollow in the Slayton Arboretum about 1,500 feet away. Some 87 students collect to watch the UFO, then they notify Civil Defense Director William Van Horn, who arrives with police. From the dormitory, the landed lights appear yellowish-white, dimming and intensifying. Only student Barbara Kohn stays most of the night, watching the lights vanish, reappear, and recede. Around 5:10 a.m., Kohn sees a lighted object move away and disappear from sight. Radiation is later detected at the landing area of about 330–600 microroentgens/hr, roughly 10–20 times the background level.

Sat on highway, a man dressed in military work clothes entered, and it rose after about 40 seconds. (Project Blue Book - cfr Don Berliner). Laxson, an instructor at the US Air Force, was driving towards Sheppard at 5 o’clock in the morning. He found the road blocked by a large object the size of a Douglas C. 124 Globemaster, without wings or engines, which was resting on cushions. A man in a jumpsuit and wearing a baseball cap was examining something under the sides of the aircraft. Laxson is convinced he met an old army mechanic.

Event 26137 (8CDAFA5F)

Date: 3/23/1966
Description: (Translated from French) At Temple (Oklahoma), an electronics instructor from Sheppard Air Force Base was driving to work on Route 65 and approaching the intersection with Highway 70: "At about 1500 meters from the intersection, I saw a very bright light about 1500 meters to my right and thought it was a truck in trouble on the highway. I turned West onto Highway 70. 400 meters further on, I changed my mind and thought it was a prefabricated house coming down the highway at an early hour. It was parked on the side of the road, I got to within a hundred meters, stopped, got out of the car and walked towards the object leaving my headlights on and my engine running. I took about 15 steps and then remembered I had a Kodak on the front seat and wanted to take a picture. I hesitated for a second and then saw the man dressed in military fatigues. I thought it was a sergeant… he had the insignia on his right arm and some kind of cap with the visor up. He weighed about 80 kg and was about 1.70 m tall. He was just a regular G.I. mechanic in civilian clothes… or a crew chief or something like that. He had a flashlight in his hand and was almost kneeling on his right knee, his left hand touching the bottom of the fuselage. The object looked like an aluminum airliner without wings or tail, and without seams along the fuselage. It rose vertically, about 1.50 m, then headed southeast, almost backwards, at about 1200 km/h judging by the barns it lit up as it flew along the valley. It was the size of a cargo plane but had no visible propulsion device. The witness was bombarded with questions by officers from the air base. A truck driver had observed the same object on the road.

Description: An electronics instructor, who was driving to work at a local Air Force Base, observed an object blocking the road. It was shaped like an airplane fuselage, 25 m long, with a “bubble” on top resembling the canopy on a B-26, rested on legs, and had very bright aft and forward lights. There was a door and a short stairway to the side of the object, and a man in coveralls appeared to be examining the craft which bore the identification “TL 4768” (see case 417). When the witness approached, the “pilot” went back inside, a sound resembling that of a highspeed drill was heard, and the object rose. No engine was observed. The witness was familiar with all conventional military aircraft.

Event 26155 (FED3BB78)

Date: 3/23/1966
Locations: Sheppard AFB (near Wichita Falls, Texas); US Highway 70 eight miles south of Temple, Oklahoma
Description: 5:05 a.m. As Sheppard AFB (near Wichita Falls, Texas) civilian instructor William E. “Eddie” Laxson is driving west on US Highway 70 eight miles south of Temple, Oklahoma, he finds the road blocked by a wingless aircraft, shaped like a fish, in the road. It is about 75 feet long, nearly 8 feet high, 12 feet wide, with a Plexiglas bubble on top, and bright lights forward and aft. Laxson stops his car about 300 feet away and walks to within 50 feet, noticing a designation on its side like “TLA138” or “TLA738” or “TL 4768.” He sees a “man” wearing a baseball cap or mechanic’s hat climbing up steps or a ladder on the object. Soon after it lifts off with a hissing or high-speed drilling sound and heads off southeast at about 700 mph. There are no landing traces. Laxson finds another witness, truck driver C. W. Anderson, parked a mile down the road. Laxson thinks it is some kind of military vehicle.

Date: 3/23/1966
Location: Bangor, Maine
Description: 11:50 p.m. John T. King sees a yellowish, elliptical object with a dome-like projection on top just off the ground near Bangor, Maine. It has a yellow-orange light in the center, a bluish light on the right, and a white light on the left. When the object moves toward his car, the car lights dim and his radio stops playing. King says he can hear the elderberry bushes scraping as it approaches and hovers 50 feet away. Frightened, he takes his .22 magnum pistol and fires it four times at the UFO, which glows brightly and takes off at high speed, making a “zinging” sound like the recoil of a spring.

Locations: Michigan; Dexter; Hillsdale
Description: Hynek spends three days in Michigan, interviewing witnesses in Dexter and Hillsdale, finding the reports contradictory and vague, and encountering a media frenzy. He participates in a police UFO chase that turns out to be the star Arcturus. A photograph taken by Deputy David Fitzpatrick on March 17 is obviously a time lapse of the Moon and Venus. He interviews two Hillsdale students, Sara Robechek and Jo Wilson. William Van Horn tells him that he at first thought the lights were marsh gas until they rose into the air 150 feet and he seemed to perceive a “convex-shaped” solid mass between two lights.

Date: 3/23/1966
Description: At 11:45 p.m. John King, 22 years old, was driving his in Bangor, Maine when he saw some lights nearby. When they came closer he saw they were part of an elliptical UFO with a dome on top that was glowing yellow, blue, and white. It had a bluish light at one end and a white light at the other. The UFO then landed. As it moved closer through the underbrush, the witness leaned out of his car, which he had stopped for a better look, and fired his pistol at it when it was less than 100 feet away. King fired four shots at the 60-foot long ellipsoid object. He believes that one bullet hit the craft. His car lights immediately dimmed and the radio stopped playing at this point. The UFO stopped at a distance of 50 feet, and emitted a slight humming noise. After a few more moments, it glowed brighter and took off quickly, shooting straight upward.

Description: Quintanilla needs quick answers, so he schedules a press conference at Selfridge AFB [now Selfridge Air National Guard Base] near Mount Clemens, Michigan, for Hynek to make a statement. Hynek, disappointed with the quality of the sightings and suspecting a mundane explanation, announces: “It would seem to me that the association of the sightings with swamps, in these particular cases, is more than coincidence. No group of witnesses observed any craft coming to or going away from the swamps. The glow was localized there…. It appears to me that all the major conditions for the appearance of swamp lights were satisfied.” The swamp gas theory doesn’t go over very well with the witnesses, the media, or the public.

Description: 9:15 p.m. EST. A teenage boy saw two luminous oval objects about 8 feet in diameter descend and land, making a buzzing sound. The objects had a row of multicolored lights around the rims (body lights) “flickering like a computer.” He approached for a closer look, and touched the nearest object, which felt hard and smooth like metal. No heat or cold was felt. The boy then touched an antenna-like projection at the end of one of the objects and received a shock. Frightened, he ran home. His parents confirmed a 3-inch burn mark on his hand and questioned him thoroughly before reporting the incident to authorities. His first-degree burn was treated at a hospital and healed normally.

Event 26246 (15D23AFB)

Date: 3/29/1966
Location: Hampton Falls, New Hampshire
Description: 4:15 p.m. A 10-year-old boy and his Dalmatian are walking familiar paths in a wood lot behind their home near Hampton Falls, New Hampshire. He notices something silver on a ridge and walks toward it. He sees an “L” shaped box, long side parallel to the ground, sitting on tripod legs. His dog runs ahead and sniffs the boxy structure, and then, appearing uninterested, the dog goes off into the woods. The boy stops about 24 feet away, not sure what he is seeing. The object makes intermittent sounds and movements in the following minutes. Then a blast of air from the object sends debris flying. A short high-pitched, then low-pitched, sound is heard as the object lifts off the ground about one foot, stops, swings in a clockwise motion, and settles back on the ground. Intermittent electric-like humming sounds are heard until the object again, with a blast of air stirring up debris and the same sounds as earlier, ascends vertically, this time to about 10 feet, where it pauses, moves horizontally, pauses and rotates clockwise again, then accelerates straight up. On the final ascent, the sound increases in pitch and loudness. The witness’s mother and sister who were at some distance from him also hear the sound. When the object moved horizontally, saplings directly under it swayed. Three elongated imprints are found in the form of a triangle. Reportedly plants do not grow in the area for the next 2 years.

Event 26293 (F9CF0529)

Date: 4/1966
Location: USA, Newport (Oregon)
Description: (Translated from French) (cf. Summer 1874) In 1966 there were no living witnesses of Muriel Trevenard’s disappearance left. The almost forgotten affair had already become part of folklore. But in April 1966 strange phenomena occurred again in Newport. (…) That evening, in Newport, 16-year-old teenager Kathy Reeves and a friend were walking back to Kathy’s home at Pioneer Mountain when they had the strange feeling of being followed. At one point they turned around and saw “like a flashlight covered with a cloth”. “I thought someone was playing a joke on us. So I picked up a stone and threw it at the light. At that moment a lot of big lights lit up everywhere and with fear in our hearts we ran towards the house.” What they saw next made them petrify in place. Three bizarre shapes were moving in the meadow, heading towards the multicolored lights below. Aliens? Kathy described them as “three little bits crossing the meadow. They had no head or arms, and their legs looked like tree roots.” The trio seemed to be wearing multicolored clothes in “orange, blue, white, yellow and ”. Screaming, the young girls ran towards the house at “v prime” speed. In the following days there were several “poltergeist” manifestations in the Reeves’ house, and the harassed family finally left the house where there was no longer any way to live in peace. (April 1966)

Description: (Translated from French) At 2:20 PM the witness was occupied in the garden when he suddenly perceived a strong illumination that made him look up to the sky. "It was as if a gigantic mirror was in my garden and was reflecting a blinding light: a shining object came towards me gliding. It must have had a diameter of 20 to 25 feet, and its altitude was probably around 120 feet. It looked like a big mushroom with its tail pointing towards the ground. It rotated around its vertical axis and thus took the position in which I photographed it. Again it started to rotate slowly but on its horizontal axis and its tail faced me. Suddenly, while it was almost stationary, it accelerated so strongly that it disappeared in a few seconds. Several seconds after it had disappeared a “bang” similar to that of an airplane passing the sound barrier was heard.

Event 26321 (10D0B973)

Date: 4/2/1966
Locations: Melbourne; Balwyn, Victoria; University of Arizona; Canada
Description: 2:02 p.m. James Kibel, a Melbourne businessman who is a member of the Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society, sees a shiny, hemispherical object above his garden in Balwyn, Victoria. It looks to be 20–25 feet in diameter and 120 feet in the air. “It seemed to float down towards me,” he says. “It resembled a big mushroom with a stalk pointing towards the earth.” He snaps a Polaroid photo, after which the object takes off and disappears to the north. However, when B. Roy Frieden, professor of optical sciences at the University of Arizona, examines the photo, he finds a jagged line of discontinuity running across the center of the image suggesting there are separate photos joined together and rephotographed. In 2017, Canadian researcher François Beaulieu reexamines the original and notices the reflection of the house below in the shiny object, and he finds that the discontinuity is actually caused by the Polaroid developing chemicals spreading unevenly across the photo.

Event 26338 (D920D5BE)

Date: 4/4/1966
Locations: Burkes Flat, Victoria, Australia; Wycheproof
Description: 7:50 p.m. Businessman Ron Sullivan is driving about 60 mph near Burkes Flat, Victoria, Australia. In the distance he sees a light near the road. Suddenly, the headlights of his vehicle bend to the right and light up a nearby fence. He brakes his car. In the middle of an adjacent field, he sees a column of light some 25 feet high and shaped like an inverted ice cream cone, 3 feet wide at the bottom and 10 feet wide at the top. It then rises to a height of 20 feet, after which the whole light complex disappears. There is no associated noise. Sullivan drives on to Wycheproof, where he checks his lights but finds nothing wrong. On the night of April 7, 19-year-old Gary Taylor is killed at the same spot when the car he is driving leaves the road and hits a tree. Police find a circular impression about 2–5 inches deep and 5 feet in diameter in the freshly plowed field.

Event 26339 (62123D90)

Date: 4/4/1966
Description: A famous UFO close encounter case involving the bending of a car’s headlights occurred on this night in Bourke’s Flat, Victoria, Australia on the road between Bendigo and Saint Arnaud. Mr. R. Sullivan, age 38, was driving home when he encountered a heavy mist and a shining white, oval-shaped UFO that appeared above him with a cone of light descending from beneath it. Rainbow colored rays of light ran down the sides of the cone. His car’s headlight beams were bent toward the object “as if they were pieces of pipe.” Mr. Sullivan overcompensated in his driving and nearly crashed, but was able to stop the car. He then saw brilliant lights flashing in a field, followed by the abrupt departure of the UFO. The car headlights were OK after the incident.

Event 26366 (B5FF7658)

Date: 4/5/1966
Location: USAF Office of Scientific Research
Description: The House Armed Services Committee conducts the first public hearing by the US Congress on the topic of UFOs. Air Force Secretary Harold Brown testifies that while USAF has done an excellent job on UFOs, perhaps there is room for “even stronger emphasis on the scientific aspects.” Hynek recommends that a “civilian panel of physical and social scientists … examine the UFO problem critically for the express purpose of determining whether a major problem exits.” Quintanilla is the only other witness. After Committee Chairman L. Mendel Rivers expresses some enthusiasm for the idea, Brown suddenly realizes that maybe he has found a way to get the Air Force out of UFO investigations. Shortly after the hearing, Brown tells the USAF Office of Scientific Research to accept the February 3 O’Brien recommendation to seek a university that will accept a contract to study the 600 officially unidentified UFO sightings.

Event 26370 (33EEC9B8)

Date: 4/5/1966
Description: USAF Maj. Hector Quintanilla tells the House Armed Services Committee that Project Blue Book had “no radar cases which are unexplained.”

Declassified records show this is a lie, as the Project was cataloging at least one radar “unknown” per month in its first year alone. Blue Book scientific advisor J. Allen Hynek later corroborated this, providing several radar unidentifieds such as 1951 Goose Bay, 1956 Lakenheath and 1957 Shreveport.

Hynek also noted Quintanilla’s deception in a book written six years later.

Event 26374 (6C2B7806)

Date: 4/6/1966
Locations: Clayton South, Victoria, Australia; Westall High School; Westall Secondary College; The Grange; Westall State School
Description: Around 11:00 a.m. A class of students and a teacher from Westall High School [now Westall Secondary College] in Clayton South, Victoria, Australia, are just completing a sport activity on the main oval when they see an object, described as a gray saucer-shaped craft with a slight purple hue and about twice the size of a family car. Witness descriptions are mixed: Andrew Greenwood, a science teacher, tells The Dandenong Journal at the time that he saw a silvery-green disc. According to witnesses, the object is descending and then crosses and flies over the high school’s southwest corner, going in a southeasterly direction before disappearing from sight as it descends behind a stand of trees and into a paddock at The Grange in front of the Westall State School (primary students). After about 20 minutes, the object—with witnesses now numbering over 200—then climbs at speed and departs towards the northwest. As the object gains altitude, some accounts describe it as being pursued from the scene by five unidentified aircraft that circle it. Some describe one disc, others claim to see three. The Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society arrives on the site on April 8, speaks to students, and views the ground marking, originally described as a large patch of yellow, flattened grass with a swirly pattern.

Event 26376 (79FFD7E1)

Date: 4/6/1966
Description: At eleven o’clock in the morning in Clayton, Victoria, Australia numerous independent witnesses including dozens of schoolchildren and teachers from Westall High School watched a metallic disc-shaped UFO land in a nearby field, then take off again, while several Cessna-type aircraft and other silvery “plane-like” objects circled the area. Some of the witnesses found a perfect circle of flattened grass on the ground, while others encountered military or government personnel in the area who warned them to stay away. Some witnesses said they saw a cow in the paddock where the object came down. The animal was reportedly to have been in such a distressed state that it eventually had to be put down. One student who arrived before the others was found in a dazed, trance-like state. Other schoolchildren saw the UFO on the ground and a normal looking man in white coveralls walking around it, telling everyone to stay back. Another man appeared, this one wearing a dark uniform with an emblem on it. One of the men was seen entering the object, while the other vanished. The object emitted a loud humming sound and then took off.

Two boys went out to investigate and heard a buzzing noise that seemed to surround them. In the field they saw two red lights each about a foot in diameter. Meanwhile those left behind in the shelter witnessed a very tall man dressed in black standing outside. They left and started back to their car. When the buzzing started again they saw two blue lights low in the sky, which were joined by a very bright white light. Watching from the car, they continued to hear the sound, and saw “four things like footballs with domes on them.” They drove away—with difficulty, for the engine kept stalling—and were followed by a “huge light” which did not reflect in the rearview mirror.

It zooms toward them in a flash, passes overhead from west to east, turns, makes a second pass from east to west, turns again, and makes a third pass. It makes a low humming sound when it passes about 15 feet above them. The boys run to the Holy Ghost Seminary nearby and hide under a nearby bridge abutment as the object continues to maneuver. When it hovers, it does so edge down and makes a fluttering motion. The disc looks metallic, 8 feet in diameter, has a black spot on top near its rim, and a red light on top of an antenna-like protrusion. Red and white lights appear to rotate counterclockwise. Nearly 2 hours later, the object takes off in a burst of speed.

When they tried to flee the area in their car the car’s engine wouldn’t start.

As the UFO moved away from them at about 300–500 ft. above the road, it would alternately start and stop ahead of them playing cat and mouse. At E. Palestine, OH, officer Wayne Huston joined in the pursuit. At speeds of 100 mph in unfamiliar territory, they were soon low on gas and had to give up the game with the UFO. Through local police dispatch the officers alerted the Air Force, who sent out fighter planes to investigate the UFO. As the officers saw the AF planes approaching the UFO shot straight up and out of sight.

Date: 4/17/1966
Location: USA, Portage County (Ohio)
Description: (Translated from French) RR1 - 05:05 - 4 witnesses - duration: 1 hour 35 Deputy Sheriff Dale F. Spaur, (…) they are informed by radio that a resident of Summit County reports an object brightly lit as big as a house, flying over the neighborhood at too low an altitude. Jokes fly. (…) Spaur tells: "Neff gets out on the right side and I get out on the left side. (…) When my eyes fell on the wooded area behind us, I saw this thing. At that moment it was rising. It climbed up to the top of the trees, about thirty meters. It passed over the trees and I didn’t take my eyes off it. It was so low that you could only see it if it came to us. I looked at Neff, he was watching the car in front of ours. The whole corner was beginning to light up and I told him to look over his shoulder. That’s what he did. He didn’t say anything, he just stayed for a minute with his mouth open and he must have lowered his eyes because the brightness was too strong. (…) The only thing, the only sound we heard was a rumble, neither loud nor piercing, resembling the sound of a transformer in charge. For two minutes I was scared and I stayed petrified and then I moved my right foot and everything seemed in order. We rushed together to the car, got in and didn’t move anymore. (…) I took the microphone and I just said to Bob who was on the line: “This bright object, the one everyone says is circulating around here, well, it’s there”. And he answered me “Bring it down”. It must be said that this thing was not a toy; Good Lord, it was as big as a house and so bright that it made your eyes water. They were asked to take the sighting in pursuit: what they did over 110 km, sometimes exceeding 170 km/h. (…) and that’s how there were 2 other witnesses, including Frank Panzanella of the Conway police. (…) (J. Allen HYNEK: “UFOs, Myth or Reality?” - Belfond 1974 - pp. 125-133, 276) The Associated Press agency reported that pilots from the Air Force stationed in Youngstown (Ohio) tried to give chase to the object, but could not do so because the speed of the UFO was much too slow compared to that of their jets. Some police officers reportedly heard these pilots talking to each other on the radio during the pursuit. Gerald Buchert, chief of the police of Mantua (Ohio) learning that the object was approaching, went out with his camera. He saw it (or a similar one) and took a snapshot.

Event 26438 (B7F5ED8E)

Date: 4/17/1966
Locations: Portage County; Randolph, Ohio; Mahoning County; East Palestine, Ohio; Salem, Ohio; Youngstown, Ohio; Conway, Pennsylvania; Rochester, Pennsylvania; Pittsburgh; Greater Pittsburgh International Airport
Description: 5:00 a.m. Portage County Deputy Sheriff Dale F. Spaur and Deputy Wilbur Neff are 4 miles east of Randolph, Ohio, when they see a moving light through some trees at the top of a small hill along the road. The light is headed in their direction. They have heard of a UFO reported over police radio that night and figure this must be what was seen. The object hovers 50–100 feet in the air, bathing the two officers in a bright light. Spaur’s eyes water up. They rush to the cruiser and radio the station; the dispatcher says to wait there until a car with a camera arrives. The object makes some sharp maneuvers, and Spaur drives toward it cautiously. The UFO is 18–24 feet thick and about 35–45 feet in diameter. The object is so bright he hardly needs his headlights to drive. It speeds up whenever Spaur accelerates, and soon he is driving at 80 mph. As the UFO reaches Mahoning County, the pursuit is being broadcast over police radios in three counties. As they reach East Palestine, Ohio, Patrolman H. Wayne Huston sees the UFO and follows Spaur and Neff, at times reaching 100 mph. Just before 5:30 a.m., two police officers in Salem, Ohio, see the UFO as a “bright ball” much larger than a jet. They also see three jets following it, apparently Air Force Reserve planes from Youngstown, Ohio. Police officer Frank Panzarella in Conway, Pennsylvania, sees the UFO, very bright and in the “shape of a half of a football.” He hears on his radio that a jet interception is in progress. Now in Pennsylvania, Spaur and Neff are given orders to abandon the chase. For most of the event, the object has remained at 1,000 feet, but now it rises to 3,500 feet and hovers. Then it shoots even higher and disappears. In 30 minutes, many police and civilians have seen the UFO. Panzarella alerts the Rochester, Pennsylvania, police operator, John Beighey, and asks him to contact the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport. Beighey calls Panzarella and says the Air Force wants to talk to the police witnesses. Spaur, Neff, and Huston go to the Rochester, Pennsylvania, police station and Spaur phones the USAF station at Pittsburgh. Spaur speaks to some colonel who tries to convince him he has seen something conventional. NICAP’s William B. Weitzel, a philosophy professor, begins his own investigation, tracking down witnesses. Within a few weeks, he or his NICAP associates have interviewed all the police officers, as well as several others who have figured in the UFO chase, either as dispatchers or as those who overheard the radio communications. NICAP members also interview some civilians who claim to have seen a UFO at the same time of the chase and/or had monitored police scanners.

Event 26439 (E6831FC8)

Date: 4/17/1966
Description: Beginning at around 5:00 a.m., Portage County Deputy Sheriffs Dale Spaur and Wilbur Neff and two other officers chased a 40-foot diameter glowing disc or football shaped object from Ravenna, Ohio to Atwater, Pennsylvania in the pre-dawn hours of this morning. It rose up out of the woods and stopped overhead. The UFO played cat-and-mouse with them in the pursuit: approaching, waiting for them to catch up, then moving away. It beamed an intense light onto the road. They chased it for 90 minutes. It was last seen shooting straight up into the sky and out of sight. At about the same time and in roughly the same vicinity, a man named George Buchert took a photograph of a double-saucer shaped object in Mantua, Ohio. Dale Spaur’s psychological condition and professional career deteriorated in the months following his close encounter. This famous case was the basis for the dramatic UFO chase in Steven Spielberg’s movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Date: 4/17/1966
Description: At 7:15 p.m. in Danvers, Massachusetts three witnesses watched an elongated oval-shaped object with rotating white lights. It was estimated to be the same size as a passenger train car. It circled slowly in the sky before entering a localized cloud. At 7:30 p.m. in nearby Peabody, Massachusetts four witnesses reported seeing a bright red glowing object flying in circular and zigzag patterns. It suddenly darted away at an incredible speed, faster than any aircraft. In Wakefield, Massachusetts at 8:30 p.m. a multicolored disc-shaped object shot off beams of white, then blue, and finally red light. It moved rapidly up-and-down and made a humming sound. It descended to just 50 feet above Lake Quanapowitt.

Event 26451 (715B878A)

Date: 4/18/1966
Location: Portage County, Ohio
Description: The Air Force begins a cursory investigation into the Portage County, Ohio, police chase case. Initially they telephone local news outlets, seeking information. However, local newspapers and radio have only vague outlines of the case. Air Force investigators also interviewed meteorologists and weather agency personnel, hoping to learn that a weather balloon was launched in the area during the UFO chase. They learn that there were no weather balloons launched that morning, and also that the wind had been so mild that the police would have had no difficulty catching up with any wind-borne object. Quintanilla calls Spaur to ask him about “this mirage you saw.” Spaur insists he has seen a clearly defined metallic object maneuvering at very low altitudes. When Quintanilla asks if they watched the object for more than a few minutes, Spaur asserts that he and Neff chased it for over half an hour, and that Huston saw the object for much of that period, and that Panzanella too had seen it. Quintanilla then, as Spaur said, “kind of lost interest.”

Description: On this evening there were four good UFO reports made in the northeastern United States in Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio. At 7:15 p.m. an elongated oval-shaped UFO with reddish green flashing lights on each end hovered over Peabody, Massachusetts, zipped around, and maneuvered to the horizon and back three times. The perimeter of the object glowed blue. A dense light was seen hovering only three feet above a roadway in Albany, New York. A blinding bright object with intense red lights landed on a road in Lancaster, Ohio and then flew off through a corn field. The witness, Mr. P. Friend, had sore and bloodshot eyes after his sighting from looking at the object. At 9:45 p.m. a UFO responded to a searchlight directed at it in Cohasset, Massachusetts by zigzagging, turning off its lights, and shooting straight up into the sky.

Above my head I could see nothing else, in the blur of the atmosphere, than lights emitting very bright signals at intervals. (…) If the object had not come closer I would not have run away, but I thought it was going to crash on me.” Another witness said: “I started to run. (…) I looked up and I was frozen in place. I saw a large round object just at the level of the rooftops. It was solid. I didn’t hear any noise but I thought this thing was going to fall on me. It was like a giant mushroom. I was fascinated, stunned, unable to think and I found myself running to escape it.” One of the police officers dispatched to the scene was to add: “There were three lights: red, green and white. This object hovered above the school and seemed to almost stop. The lights shone in flashes. The object flew over the school twice, then moved away.” (J. Allen HYNEK: “UFOs, Myth or Reality?” - Belfond 1974 - p. 118, 119, 276) Several people observe around 21 hours three luminous objects circling in the sky. A woman having made hand signals, one of the UFOs approaches at short distance. The witnesses then call the police and two officers take advantage of the show. The television was scrambled during the observation.

I was very excited - but not scared - and very curious. If the object hadn’t come closer, I wouldn’t have run away, but I thought it was going to crash on me. Another witness ran away: I started to run. Then a friend shouted ‘Look, it’s right above us!’ — I looked up, and I was frozen in place. It was exactly like the bottom of a plate. It was solid… I didn’t hear any noise, but I thought this thing was going to fall on me (…). I was fascinated, stunned, unable to think, and I found myself running to escape it. (9 PM)

Description: At 2:00 a.m. Dr. Eula Page, a psychologist, was driving home from Texas with her two children and a friend when she noticed a luminous object as big as the moon darting back-and-forth across the highway. She had just crossed the Red River bridge into Oklahoma near Thackerville when she noticed she had driven directly underneath it so she stopped the car. It descended and hovered close to the car. The UFO was luminous and lens-shaped, more than twice the length of her station wagon. It was surrounded by a spherical framework that was revolving around it. On one side of the disc was a long window through which four human-looking occupants could clearly be seen. They had slanted, “Oriental” shaped eyes and were wearing tight fitting, silverly gray uniforms. Her daughter said that one was a woman. Standing outside the car, Dr. Page watched the UFO for about 20 minutes. A “force field” around the craft made it difficult for her to breathe, and a hot wind blew from the sphere that smelt “electrical.” Finally another car approached, and the UFO quickly moved away toward the river.They felt a hot wind from the UFO as well.

Event 26514 (1F47BB35)

Date: 4/23/1966
Locations: Dorchester, Massachusetts; Kalnicki apartment; Boston
Description: 10:45 p.m. On hearing a listener call in a live UFO sighting on WMEX radio, Jeanne Kalnicki of Dorchester, Massachusetts, goes to the window with her two daughters and sees an oval, domed UFO with a ring of blinking red lights bobbing up and down above a building across the street. A yellow light is on top of the dome and alternately flashes on when the red lights blink off. It moves across the street and appears to be moving directly toward them at eye level. Humming, the object moves between their apartment building and the one next door, where it hovers for a few minutes. When the yellow light goes off, Kalnicki can see a glow within the dome. The object then moves erratically away to the east. The family goes to bed, but at 5:00 a.m., 11-year-old Judy Kalnicki is too upset to sleep, She wakes up when she sees a light coming in her window and realizes that the UFO is right outside, bobbing up and down, looking about the size of their 1955 Lincoln automobile, and flashing its lights as before. Thinking it is going to come inside her bedroom, Judy screams. Seemingly in response, the object speeds up its bobbing motion, and she hears a heavy thudding sound. The windows rattle, Judy’s bed rocks, and all the lights in the house go off. Downstairs, their German shepherd is whining and scratching at the door. The entire family rushes to the back porch, where they watch the object for about 12 minutes moving to the north toward Boston. The lights come back on. NICAP’s investigation shows that the power failure affected 2,500 homes in the area and was caused by two cables burning out a block away from the Kalnicki apartment. One particle on the window sill registered a strong radiation reading of .025 millimentgens per hour from a Geiger counter.

Description: 5:00 a.m. EDT. The same family as in the previous entry saw an identical oval or discoidal object with dome and yellow light on top and red lights around the edge. flashing in the same pattern as the night before. The object emitted a humming sound and “weird, whirring, mechanical noises” as it bobbed around apparently close to the building. An explosive sound was heard, the windows rattled and furniture shook, and the lights went out. The family German shepherd doa whined and scratched at the door (animal reaction). The start of a power failure, which affected about 2,500 homes in the area, was officially timed at 4:57 a.m. It was later attributed to a breakdown in the insulation of the wiring at a point very near the apartment building. Later that evening investigators detected some abnormal radiation on the window sill where the object had been seen. (Keyhoe & Lore, 1969b, pp. 45-47; Walter N. Webb investigation report; U.F.O.

Description: Night. Marvin and Viola Swartwood are driving in a rainstorm on State Highway 34B near Fleming, New York, when a “brilliant, flashing ball of fire” appears three feet above the front and slightly to the right of their car. The fire ball lights up the surrounding area, falls onto the car with a loud snap, and vanishes. As the ball lightning hits, Viola feels a shock in her neck and an impulse in her right arm. They drive to the sheriff’s office and then to a local hospital because the right side of Viola’s body is partially paralyzed. She is in satisfactory condition 5 days later. There is no damage to the car or any reports of normal lightning in the area.

Event 26532 (B9731882)

Date: 4/25/1966
Description: (Translated from French) William Haydon Burns, Governor of Florida campaigning for re-election, departs from Orlando for Tallahassee (state capital). On board the Convair, co-pilot Herb Bates spots two bright yellow globes side by side. At 6000 feet near Ocala (north Florida), Burns leaves the cockpit and announces: “We have a UFO next to us. I’m going to ask the pilot to head towards it.” Frank Stockton, the Deputy Secretary, Captain Nathan Sharron of the State Highway Patrol, and all the journalists on board can then see the phenomenon to starboard. Some will describe two bright crescent-shaped lights, with a weaker section, like a column of light, between them. The yellow-orange lights vary in brightness, but remain very distinct. As the plane heads towards the UFO, it then quickly rises and disappears after accompanying the plane for 40 miles. Duane Bradford, director of the Capitol Bureau of the Tampa Tribune, will declare: “I began to think that these UFO stories weren’t so funny after all.” Bill Mansfield, director of the Miami Herald’s central bureau, will declare: “There was something there. Something we all saw clearly. Something that still remains to be explained.” The Governor (who had already seen a UFO according to a documentary broadcast on a Miami television in October of the previous year) confirmed the observation, but would not say any more.

Description: When he learns that Rep. J. William Stanton (R-Ohio) has expressed an interest in the UFO chase, NICAP investigator William B. Weitzel writes him a detailed letter, outlining the inconsistencies and shortcomings of Quintanilla’s explanations. Portage County (Ohio) Judge Robert Eugene Cook (an acquaintance of Spaur and Neff) also writes to Stanton, defending the police officers’ judgment and characterizing the Air Force investigation as “grossly unfair” to Spaur and Neff. Stanton fails to get an answer from the Air Force, so he contacts USAF Chief of Community Relations Division Lt. Col. John Spalding, who promises to send an investigator. Stanton later writes to Defense Secretary Robert McNamara about Blue Book’s treatment of his constituents.

Event 26588 (DE7B63FB)

Date: 5/8/1966
Location: BRAZIL, Ipameri
Description: (Translated from French) James Pfeiffer had 50 combat air missions during World War II. He received 5 Air Medals and 12 citations for bravery, so it can be inferred that he was not easily frightened: "There was no sound at all and it was as big as an airliner, but without any indication of a company… My body reacted as if I had brushed against danger. I was shaken all day. Photo taken with an Instamatic camera. (J. Allen HYNEK: “UFOs, Myth or Reality?” - Belfond 1974 - p. 30) During a stop at a small restaurant by the river, a strange object suddenly appeared in the sky. In the shape of a sphere, moving 500 m above the front of the house, its diameter was about 20 m before it moved away at a speed of 200 mph. It first emitted a shrill scream, becoming deeper and so powerful that all the restaurant staff rushed outside. Mr. Pfeiffer managed to take two shots.

Event 26599 (C06A827C)

Date: 5/10/1966
Description: (Translated from French) The famous American reporter Walter Cronkite does a report on the Michigan observations in CBS Reports, presenting the witnesses as not very credible. It shows Donald Menzel pouring benzene on an acetone-filled aquarium to demonstrate elementary facts of optics known since the 18th century. He tries to convince Americans that UFOs are only mirages. This is followed by an interview with a “lunatic” describing his encounters with the “space brothers”. In contrast, an impressive interview with Carl Sagan, who forcefully argues with mathematical arguments the improbability of an extraterrestrial visit. The documentary then contains a discussion with a military officer who claims that UFOs are never detected by radar, and with an astronomer who states that UFOs are never seen or photographed by satellite observation stations.

Event 26604 (12C2CE48)

Date: 5/10/1966
Location: Smithsonian’s archives
Description: The documentary “UFOs: Friend, Foe, or Fantasy?” appears on CBS Reports, hosted by Walter Cronkite and narrator Bill Stout. Guests include Carl Sagan, Donald Menzel, Harold Brown, Lawrence Tacker, Donald Keyhoe, and J. Allen Hynek. The tenor of the show is to debunk UFOs, although Cronkite says the CIA has been secretly tracking UFO sightings around the world, even as it denies doing so. Air Force Capt. Gary Reese claims that NORAD’s satellite-tracking radar covers altitudes from 100,000 feet to 2,000 miles up but never finds any UFOs. He neglects to mention that UFOs are found in the atmosphere below 100,000 feet. (Even so, NORAD has been detecting occasional Unidentified Satellites, USATs, for years.) Reese makes a broad statement that the Air Force has never substantiated a “flying saucer” despite NORAD’s covering “nearly every square foot of the US” on its radar. USAF Maj. Albert Morse of NORAD spacetrack network supports Reese. A handwritten letter by Robertson Panel member Thornton Page, discovered in the Smithsonian’s archives by Michael Swords, confirms the CIA’s long-suspected role in the CBS program. In the September 10, 1966, letter, Page relates to Frederick C. Durant that he “helped organize the CBS TV show around the Robertson Panel’s conclusions.” Quintanilla has spent 3 days editing and censoring the TV program’s script to make sure it conforms to USAF public relations policy.

According to the principal reporting witness, a retired Boeing engineer named Allen, there where 30 witnesses, including a group of 19 who were on the roof of a nearby building and a 35-mm motion picture film crew who filmed the entire episode. The following day the NASA facility employees were debriefed and informed that what they had witnessed was an unmanned Air Force weather balloon.

Location: Temple City, CA
Description: 12:30 p.m. PDT. A newspaper editor and office manager were called outdoors to see a grayish-green object high in the northern sky changing shape from rectangular, or roughly diamond-shaped, to domed disc. The object, apparently metallic, was reflecting sunlight. Haze-like heat waves surrounded it. For 15 minutes the object moved around lazily, then suddenly sped off to the northeast and disappeared. The editor compared the departure speed to that of a jet aircraft. (NICAP: 01 - Distant Encounters)

Event 26621 (6E8B9333)

Date: 5/16/1966
Description: At 12:30 p.m. a newspaper editor and officer manager in Temple City, California were called out to the parking lot to see an unusual object in the sky. A grayish-green object, changing shape from rectangular to roughly diamond-shaped, to a domed disc, was reflecting sunlight and apparently metallic. It was visible high in the northern sky. Hazy heat waves surrounded it. For 15 minutes the object moved around lazily, then it suddenly sped off to the northeast and disappeared. The editor compared the speed to that of a jet. At 1:10 p.m. a school principal saw children on the school’s playground staring at a dark, disc-shaped object with a dome on top moving high overhead toward the east. At about the same time Charles Hardman was walking on Alessandra Street in Temple City when he noticed something that he first thought was a kite or balloon in the north-northwest sky moving slowly northeast. Through binoculars he saw that the object’s surface was glossy, gray or black, yet light reflective. At times the top was obscured by hazelike smoke. Without the binoculars Hardman could see that this was due to different angles of vision as the object tumbled over in its path. It was shaped like a diamond with concave sides.

About 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Beverly Harding of Temple City, California was driving about a mile south of the center of town when she saw an aerial object paralleling the path of her car, but traveling a little faster than she was. It looked like “a big bowl of jelly, plastic-like and shiny…” The object was roundish, but irregularly shaped. Finally, at 3:25 p.m. Mrs. Janice Oyler of San Gabriel, California was driving through Temple City when she saw a “black and silver cone-shaped object” in the sky. She stopped her car to watch, and saw the object bobbing around and circling slowly in one small area of the sky for about three minutes.

He spots a bright-red circular disc with a dome on top as it is apparently following an outbound flight of Navy jets from NAS Willow Grove [now NAS Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove] at 4,500 feet. The object makes a sharp turn without banking and approaches his plane on a near-collision course, passing below the starboard wing about 300 feet away and disappearing to the rear. They both get a good look at the object, which has no wings or visible means of propulsion.

Description: 4:15 p.m. PDT. A woman driving in Temple City saw a strange object approach from the southwest, hover and bob around. She stopped and observed the object at relatively close range, at treetop level across a wide highway. “It was the shape of two geranium pots put together with the bands in the center,” she said. Although the object was clearly outlined, there was a slight haze surrounding it. The color was bright green. Flashes of sunlight reflected off the surface, giving it a metallic sheen. On the body were what appeared to be a row of louvers and an antenna-like projection. After several minutes the object climbed to the northeast, observed as it moved away by employees of a nearby restaurant who were alerted by the witness. (Los Angeles NICAP Subcommittee report.)

Description: (Translated from French) In June 1966, very sophisticated military telecommunications satellites were put into service in the “IDSCP” (Initial Defense Satellite Communication Program) series. Launched in groups of 3 to 8 units, four times, these satellites were placed in a geostationary orbit, i.e. above the equator at 36,000 km altitude. (…) This network was complete, with 26 satellites, two years later. (June 1966)

Event 26647 (C89BAB26)

Date: 6/1966
Location: USA
Description: (Translated from French) There is also the “Pageos” case in orbit since June 1966, this satellite was well known to sky watchers, as it was easily visible to the naked eye. It was a 30 meter diameter “Mylar” balloon orbiting at 4300 km altitude. Despite this great distance, it shone on the night sky, illuminated by the sun, with the brightness of the North Star. Its coating reflected 98% of the light received. At this altitude it took three hours to complete a lap around the Earth and it happened that one could follow it with the naked eye for more than half an hour, from one horizon to the other.

A night watchman who was about a hundred meters away rushed over but was struck by a beam that “surrounded him with flames” and produced a “singing sound”. When the reporter of the facts arrived at the scene later, with several official investigators, they examined an oval burn mark left on the ground. (…)

He begins to feel numb and weak, but the sounds grows louder and he lapses into unconsciousness. He wakes up at 6:15 a.m. and the light and noise are gone. Because of this event he becomes interested in UFOs and joins NICAP’s Massachusetts subcommittee.

Event 26654 (9D1B7B5D)

Date: 6/1/1966
Location: Lake Ontario, CAN
Description: 10:30 p.m. LT. A former RCAF pilot and a friend were cruising on the lake when they saw lights on the water ahead. As they approached within a mile, the lights rose with an audible “swish” and a pulsating humming sound. The two men now could see that it was a disc with dome on top, and it cast an oval reflection on the lake surface. Around the dome was a row of bright yellow lights, and blue-green lights were visible around the lower perimeter (body lights). After hovering briefly, the UFO took off at high speed and quickly disappeared. (U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. Ill, No. 9, Aug.-Sept. 1966, p. 5) (NICAP: 02 - Close Encounters)

Event 26656 (054AF2E0)

Date: 6/1/1966
Description: On or around this day two Ontario residents had a chance encounter with a disc-like UFO hovering close to the dark waters of Lake Ontario. The object, which had rows of lights flashing around its perimeter, took off rapidly as the witnesses approached it in a motor boat. The incident was reported to NICAP by Richard Plewman. Plewman, a former RCAF Flight Lieutenant and pilot instructor, was cruising with a friend, Jack Grant about 2-1/2 miles offshore of Clarkson at about 10:30 p.m. While proceeding in a NE direction, the men noticed some lights like headlights on the water ahead. They continued talking, and approaching the lights at a moderate speed, not suspecting anything unusual. When they got to an estimated distance of 3/4 to 1 mile, the lights slowly rose with a “swish,” emitting a low “pulsating hum.” Plewman and Grant could now see a disc with a bubble-type dome on top and a flat bottom, casting an oval reflection on the lake surface. A row of bright yellow lights encircled the dome, blue-green lights around the lower perimeter. After hovering briefly, the UFO took off at high speed disappearing “Like a light bulb turned out.” Plewman said the perimeter lights clearly outlined the dark object, the colors changing from dull white to fluorescent tones as the UFO started to rise.

Event 26665 (09AC4A46)

Date: 6/3/1966
Description: Cape Canaveral, Florida - Three boys were playing behind their apartment about 7:30 p.m. when they saw a “rocket or jet” zip across the sky and disappear behind the building, apparently dropping into the water. They ran to the beach and saw, about 30 yards ahead, two men, talking, with their backs to them. The boys said the two men wore “glass helmets and gray suits with something that looked like scuba tanks on their backs.” One of the youngsters was so surprised that he made a sound, startling the men. They scrambled quickly aboard a “round white thing” which sped to a strange floating device about 300 feet offshore. There were windows in the floating object, they said, and they could see people moving inside. On one side, there was a gray star with some type of identifying letters. The boys ran back at the same time the men raced for the object, and when they paused to look back, they were expecting the craft to take to the air. Instead, it submerged and vanished.

Event 26675 (24B962CF)

Date: 6/8/1966
Location: USA, BAF Edwards
Description: (Translated from French) (cf: 21.9.64) On June 8, 1966, the second (prototype) XB-70A took off. On board were North American test pilot Al White and Major Carl Cross as co-pilot, for its first flight of this type of aircraft. The aircraft was to be tested at varying altitudes and speeds, and it was to make a passage at Mach 1.4 at 9450 meters altitude above the base to collect information on the supersonic bang. There was another point to check, the Air Force at the request of General Electric was testing the engines of this company. These were GE J93. The tests were to be done with the participation of a Navy F-4B Phantom, a T-38A Talon and an Air Force YF-5A and a NASA F-104N Starfighter piloted by Joe Walker. A Lear Jet also participated for the photos (for publicity). The day before, John Fritz, test pilot of General Electric who would be on board the YF-5A, had asked to fly in free formation with an approximate wingspan between each aircraft. [Ref 9-7] The XB-70A took off from Edwards at 7:15, followed by the T-38A piloted by Pete Hoag and Joe Cotton. (…) At 7:59 White and Cross climbed in altitude, while Hoag and Cotton landed to refuel the T-38. White and Cross made their supersonic passage at 8:30 and were then heading for the rendezvous point, Lake Isabella. At 8:43 all the others had thus joined the large white triangular aircraft (XB 70 A) which was to fly in the lead. (…) The weather was cloudy and in flight the formation plans were changed (for the needs of the photos) and that was the accident: the F 104 N of Joe Walker was too close to the XB 70 A and its stabilizer touched the tip of the front wing before hitting it and getting its wing in that of the other aircraft. It was the crash of the F-104N and the XB-70A. (NASA website 1997 “on The Frontier”) It was the jamming of the on-board instruments that cost the lives of two of the best American test pilots: Joe Walker and Carl Cross. The F 104 piloted by Walker came crashing against the giant delta-winged XB 70 bomber, powered by six engines, tearing off part of the rear ailerons. The two planes nosedived and crashed on the Edward base. Al White managed to get out of the burning debris and was taken to hospital in a serious condition. The collision took place when the F 104 was flying at 3000 km/h. [vog: so this incident has absolutely nothing to do with UFOs; there was no jamming, there was certainly human error.]

Event 26698 (F12A8DBA)

Date: 6/15/1966
Location: FRANCE, somewhere in Aveyron
Description: (Translated from French) Around 9:30 PM the 76-year-old grandmother saw through the window three white lights the size of a human head. They were far away and getting closer. The son-in-law was called: after a few minutes he saw one at 15 m from the house. It went out, then others appeared in the distance, every 2 or 3 seconds one of these lights lit up somewhere, then went out. So he went out. At that moment there were 6 balls spinning on a field, 50 m apart from each other. They lined up and moved slowly. There was no noise. Then they approached a huge white “shell”. The witness’s son also saw it. This whole scene lasted a very long time. The shell had three branches on each side and at one point each branch had a ball. (see January 6, 1967: continuation).

Event 26699 (0D73CD38)

Date: 6/15/1966
Description: (Translated from French) In Aveyron (France), on a calm night, a 76 year old woman living in an isolated farmhouse observes spherical “flaming” objects: "I was at the window, just for a moment, because at my age you need to take the air wherever you are. But I had never seen lights like that, nor anything similar! It was not just lights, it was fires! The objects cross the fields. The old woman gets scared: All these fires, I’m too old, I don’t want to see things like that. If things start moving like this, what are we all going to become? After that it moved again, in the corner of the vineyard, you remember , that’s when I called you, that’s when I was scared, but if it gets closer, it will go into the barn and everything will go up in smoke, the house and us with it. So I called him, I called him. The son-in-law, who ran the farm and had seen the same thing as the old woman, goes out to check on the spot: The objects were rounded on top and rather flattened underneath; they vanished on the spot as if they were controlled by a switch. At one point there were 6, less than 2 km away; they moved in line at the speed of a tractor, then merged into a large luminous object resembling a flaming tree, an illuminated shell. Everything disappeared. The witnesses returned, completely amazed. The whole phenomenon took place without a sound. Later she will go to bed dressed for fear of “what could happen”. (June 15)

Event 26700 (29B70A79)

Date: 6/15/1966
Description: (Translated from French) At the USAF base in Nha Trang (South Vietnam), in addition to the usual base activities, 8 bulldozers are at work, soldiers are watching a movie outdoors, and 2 Douglas A-IE Skyraider attack planes are preparing to take off on the nearby runway. In the bay, a Shell tanker is at anchor. The sky to the north suddenly lights up. The initial reactions are that it is an enemy flare, but the light starts to move, approaching the base. As it gets close to the observers, it slows down and then stops, remaining stationary over the base at an altitude between 90 and 150 m, illuminating the entire valley. At this point, all the machines and power systems of the base stop working, as do those of the tanker in the bay and some Diesels. After remaining in this position for about 4 minutes, the UFO shoots up and disappears from sight in less than 3 seconds. After the object’s departure, all the base’s power returns as quickly and inexplicably as it had disappeared. (9:45 PM)

Event 26766 (255402FB)

Date: 6/27/1966
Description: Cistella, Spain - Three Spanish witnesses named Masso, Crous, and Arajil watched two clearly defined, hexagonal cylinders rise into the air, approximately 1,800 feet apart from each other. A disc-shaped UFO flew into view and positioned itself between the cylinders as if to link them. Dense smoke arose, drying the mouths and noses of the witnesses the whole day, and one witness felt a wave of heat. The strange, three-part structure was visible for several minutes before departing at blinding speed. Over an area some ten meters across in a potato field all the leaves were brittle and yellowish. A branch of a nearby pear tree was newly broken off, thrown some distance, and twisted around.

Location: Viet Cong
Description: Richard Helms becomes director of central intelligence. He is the first DCI since Dulles to push hard for results in the mind-control field. Operation MKSearch goes into overdrive. Old projects are resurrected, abandoned projects reactivated. The safe houses are told to expect a steady supply of Viet Cong expendables to experiment on. One of the projects to be revived is the less than successful Operation Mindbender. Renamed Operation Spellbinder, the assignment is to create a sleeper killer, a real-life Manchurian Candidate. A hypnotist is recruited from the American Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. He becomes known to the CIA staff as “Dr. Fingers” and is selected because his file states that he has no qualms about conducting potentially terminal experiments. The intended victim of the experiment is Fidel Castro. After attempts to program several would-be assassins, the operation is discontinued and written off as a complete failure.

Event 26815 (A17C3CE9)

Date: 7/21/1966
Description: The FBI tells multiple U.S. citizens UAP is not and “never has been a matter that is within [its] investigative jurisdiction.” This contradicts many now declassified files including a 1957 memorandum where SAC Kansas City writes the FBI Director about a film of a UAP taken by a U.S. citizen, suggesting it be retrieved, sent to HQ and coordinated with AFOSI. The FBI also admits in a 1952 memo that it did “conduct some investigations regarding flying saucers,” but reached an agreement with USAF to refer cases to them on 27 September 1947.

Note: A 4 February 1948 memo from USAF Capt. Richard W. Guess states USAF commanders are charged with evaluating incidents, but they’re to be passed to local FBI offices. FBI seems to have had an ongoing relationship with USAF where UAP data was passed between local offices and USAF. One example of this is on 15 May 1952 where FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover writes AFOSI about flying discs seen above an AEC facility in South Carolina.

Event 26816 (6D91BA0A)

Date: 7/22/1966
Description: (Translated from French) An American naval officer is driving at night with his son John. An object is flying above the car: "I lowered my head to look through the windshield, and I saw it all - it was right in front of me. I said to John: ‘My God, it’s a flying saucer.’ It was almost like the science fiction movies on television… It stayed suspended there, absolutely silent, like a church bell tower lit up at night. Or it looked like those Japanese suicide planes that threw themselves at night into the beams of the searchlights - it reminded me of them. It turned around for about 100 m - absolutely as if it was disheartened. 2 other cars arrive and the mysterious machine will turn off exactly like a thermostat in a household appliance, leaving only a shadow. The UFO disappears in a bluish wake. (July 22)

The light emitted by the sphere was so intense that it lit up the whole countryside. It seemed to touch the ground and then rise again, hovering at mid-height for some time. Lacoste and his wife, now convinced that it was a military remote-controlled device, approached to a distance of about 300 m from the object, and it left and was lost from sight behind the woods. The observation lasted 4 minutes. A check will be made to see if any military experiments have taken place in that area: there were none. (July 28th, in the evening)

Description: The fourth and final launch of a D-21 drone from an M-21 ends in disaster 150 miles off the coast of California. Unlike the three previous launches, this one is performed straight and level, not in an outside loop to assist in the separation of the drone from the aircraft. The D-21 suffers engine problems and strikes the M-21’s tail after separation, leading to the destruction of both aircraft. The two crew members eject and land at sea. The pilot, Bill Park, survives, but the launch control officer, Ray Torrick, drowns. Johnson decides to refit the D-21 to launch from a B-52 bomber in order to not endanger any more M-21s.

Andrews AFB denied to a County police dispatcher that they had any unknown objects on radar, but the dispatcher said a control tower operator had acknowledged seeing a fast-moving lighted object, and he later learned that Andrews did have a UFO on its radar but would not admit it officially.

Event 26877 (4601447A)

Date: 8/1/1966
Location: Rushville, Indiana
Description: 7:45 p.m. Several children are playing outside in Rushville, Indiana, when they see an object hovering above a tree near them. Its altitude is about 75 feet. They describe it as round, brighter than the moon, silver, and about 4 times larger than the full moon. It has a fuzzy edge and rocks slightly as it hovers. One girl, Donna Glosser, calls it to the attention of others who are about a half-block away. When she does, the object changes to reddish- orange, seems to revolve, and moves across a road so fast it seems to jump. It stops abruptly over some trees on a hill about one block away. At least one adult watches the object for 5 minutes. The same object is apparently seen by a group of teens at the Dairy Delight Drive-In about a mile and a half away. It becomes brighter after 45 seconds and speeds away.

Date: 8/1/1966
Description: At 12:30 a.m. CDT Kathy Palmer, age 14, looked out the window of her home in Springfield, Missouri before going to bed and saw a luminous object bearing red and blue lights on the lawn. It was about six feet long, ovoid shaped, and four feet wide by four feet high, and it made a “rattling” sound. From a square hatch two 5-foot tall slender occupants emerged, who either had “large heads” or wore helmets. They walked about for three minutes, apparently communicating with each other, and examined some bicycles. Then they returned to the craft and it took off. The total duration of the encounter was about 30 minutes in all. At the landing site the grass was matted down, and there was a white substance which proved to be calcium phosphate.

Event 26885 (0825D63F)

Date: 8/6/1966
Description: (Translated from French) In a fairly isolated house in Texas, 3 young children (aged 6 to 9) noticed a dark object in the shape of an overturned bowl. Although it was afternoon, the children had not seen the object arrive. The object was dark, without color or light. Then a yellow glow appeared, as if a door was opening, and a small creature appeared in this square of light. The entity, 90 cm to 1.20 m tall, wore a black garment with yellow or golden reflections. The show lasted a few minutes, then the door closed. A low sound, like a buzzing, was heard, and the object left at an exceptional speed. The object never touched the ground: it hovered at a height of about 4.50 m, near a tree that was not damaged and which is about 10 m from the house. (August 6)

He consults with several scientists and reports on what they tell him in a memo to E. James Archer, dean of the graduate school, and Thurston E. Manning, university vice president. The memo, which is not sent to Condon and is intended to show university officials that the project will not embarrass them, says: “Our study would be conducted almost exclusively by nonbelievers who, although they couldn’t possibly prove a negative result, could and probably would add an impressive body of evidence that there is no reality to the observations. The trick would be, I think, to describe the project so that, to the public, it would appear a totally objective study but to the scientific community, would present the image of a group of nonbelievers trying their best to be objective but having an almost zero expectation of finding a saucer.” He recommends stressing the psychology and sociology of the witnesses rather than physical evidence. The memo stays under wraps for a year and a half.

Event 26898 (D917450B)

Date: 8/11/1966
Location: AUSTRALIA, Melbourne
Description: (Translated from French) Miss Marlene Travers, of Melbourne, reported having observed a large silver disc that landed near her. It is said that she was abducted and raped by an extraterrestrial wearing a metallic green tunic. Investigations revealed that this case was a journalistic hoax. (Keith Baskerfield - Australian Abductees, 1989) (note from vog: this Mrs. Marlene Travers passed away in 1996…) In her childhood Marlene Travers had already observed UFOs. In 1966 she was at a friend’s house in the countryside. In the evening, out of cigarettes, she went out alone to get more from a store 600 m away. Her attention was drawn to a star in the sky that grew disproportionately. Soon she saw a 15m diameter and 3m thick disc land in a field not far from her. A door opened and a tall and beautiful being, in a metallic green tunic, came out of the craft. He looked at her and telepathically announced that she would have the honor of being the first Earth woman to have a child from an inhabitant of another planet. Frozen with fear, Marlene Travers felt compelled by an irresistible force to follow the creature inside the saucer where he raped her. Just before leaving the spaceship, the young woman stumbled upon a kind of electric button: a flash burn crossed her ankle and she fainted. When she came to, she was lying in the field. No more saucer. Limping, she returned to her friends’ house and learned that she had been absent for seven hours. A doctor was called to treat the burn she did not have when she left the house. It would seem that she was indeed pregnant but this state was never followed by a birth.

Event 26900 (C2EACCBA)

Date: 8/11/1966
Description: An abduction and forced sexual encounter allegedly occurred near Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on this evening. Marlene Travers, age 24, was visiting friends in the country and had taken a walk alone after dinner. She heard a sound like an airplane and saw a 50-foot diameter disc land in a field. A tall man dressed in a loose-fitting green tunic got out of the craft. She tried to run away but couldn’t move. When he touched her she felt compelled to obey, and followed him aboard the craft past an instrumental panel into a “wildly furnished” room. She understood through telepathy that he intended to impregnate her.

After sexual intercourse he escorted her out of the ship, but when she tripped over some kind of a switch the resultant flash burned her ankles and she fainted. When she woke up she found herself lying in the field where the UFO had landed. Her friends had been searching for her for several hours. A doctor who examined her found burns on her legs and ankles. She brought her friends back to the spot where she claimed to have been inside the UFO, and a large indentation was found in the earth. She later was examined again by a medical doctor and found to be pregnant. There is no account of how the pregnancy turned out.

Event 26902 (3241766B)

Date: 8/13/1966
Location: ENGLAND Lakenheath
Description: (Translated from French) During the night, the radars of two different bases detected a mysterious object above Lakenheath. At the same time, several observers noticed the presence in the sky of several round, luminous, and very fast objects. RAF fighters took off to attempt interception. The on-board radars also recorded the presence of objects. Suddenly, one of them rushed towards one of the fighters and began to circle around it. Terrified, the pilot attempted to escape several times with extremely violent maneuvers. The object followed him as if playing. This game of cat and mouse lasted 10 minutes. And the craft moved away… Case studied by the Condon Commission. Pages 248 to 256 of the “report”. Conclusion of the investigators on this observation: The participation of at least one authentic (sic!) UFO is extremely probable. (1966, night of August 13th to 14th)

Event 26941 (6AAB3282)

Date: 8/20/1966
Description: (Translated from French) The police and fire department went to the slopes of Morro do Vintem. They discovered a handkerchief, a piece of crumpled blue and white aluminum foil, some Cellophane paper soaked in a chemical and some crumpled paper strips. On some of them, one can read mathematical or electrical formulas as well as on two others: At 4:30 in the afternoon, be at the designated point. At 6:30, swallow the capsules with an orange. Once their effect is in progress, protect half of the face with lead masks. Then wait for the agreed signal. and Sunday, one capsule before the meal; Monday, one capsule in the morning; Tuesday, one capsule before the meal; Wednesday, one capsule before bedtime. The investigation was entrusted to Inspector José Venancio Bittencourt of the Rio de Janeiro police. The two victims were Miguel José Viana, 34 years old, and Manuel Pereira da Cruz, 32 years old, both electronics technicians and specialists in television. Both married, they lived in the city of Campos where they were well known. The analyses will show that the blood found near the dead was not theirs, and the autopsy could not determine the cause of their death. Inspector Bittencourt is categorical on this subject: Our specialists have excluded the possibility of poisoning, an act of violence or death by asphyxiation. According to a forensic doctor, the death, which dated back to August 16 or 17, was natural (heart attack). Inspector Bittencourt did not make the link between this double death and the UFO, nor even with any scientific experiment that had gone wrong. It was for him a staging organized by the murderer or murderers in order to conceal a theft - it is said that the victims had left home with a very large sum of money in cash. A recidivist later declared to be the author of the crime, but he was ruled out.

Event 26948 (13555AF1)

Date: 8/20/1966
Locations: Morro do Vintém in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Campos dos Goytacazes; Niterói; Jacques Vallée
Description: Afternoon. Some boys looking for a lost kite on the Morro do Vintém in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, discover the bodies of two dead males and report them to the authorities. The Morro do Vintém is a hill with difficult terrain, and the police are unable to reach the bodies until August 21. When a small team of police and firefighters arrive, they encounter an odd scene: the bodies are resting next to each other, partly covered by grass. Each one is wearing a formal suit, a lead eye mask, and a waterproof coat. There are no signs of trauma or struggle. Next to the corpses, police find an empty water bottle and a packet containing two wet towels. A small notebook is also identified, on which were written the cryptic instructions, “16:30 be at the specified location. 18:30 ingest capsules, after the effect protect metals await signal mask.” The two men are identified as Manoel Pereira da Cruz and Miguel José Viana, two electronic technicians from Campos dos Goytacazes. Following an investigation, police reconstruct a plausible narrative of the men’s last days. On August 17, Cruz and Viana leave Campos dos Goytacazes saying that they needed to purchase some materials for work (although they tell others they are on a secret mission). The two men then board a bus to Niterói and arrive at 2:30 p.m. Evidence shows that the waterproof coats were purchased at a shop there, and one bottle of water from a local bar. Upon being interviewed, the waitress from the bar described Miguel as “very nervous,” and noticed he frequently checked his watch. That is the last time they are known to have been seen alive; it is presumed they go directly from the bar to the spot where they were discovered. One theory revolves around the testimony of a friend of the two men, who claims that they are members of a group of “scientific spiritualists” who are apparently attempting to contact extraterrestrials or spirits using psychedelic drugs. Believing that such an encounter would be accompanied by blinding light, the men cut metal masks to shield their eyes and may have died of drug overdoses. This account is corroborated by the esoteric diary entry found at the scene and by mask-making materials and literature concerning spirits found at the men’s homes. In April 1980, Jacques Vallée locates the exact spot where the bodies were found and notes that no vegetation is growing there.

Description: Later that day outside of Bozeman, Montana Dan Duggleby was up in the hills with a .22 caliber rifle when he heard a “whooshing” noise and looked up to see a large rocket-shaped object about 60 feet in diameter and 300 feet tall, which landed close by. An opening appeared in the side of the cylinder and a ramp slid out, and five robotic metal “boxes” with small wheels on the bottoms and four “arms” on the sides came down the ramp. One took ground samples, while three of the others took air, grass, and flower samples and the last one “just stood there.” When finished they rolled back up the ramp, the ramp slid in, and the ship took off straight up and vanished in the fog. The witness had seen disc-like UFOs on many previous occasions.

(Jean FERGUSON: “The Humanoids…” - ed. Leméac, Ottawa 1977, p. 168) Faber Niles, a merchant, and four other people saw the creature, some at less than ten meters, the others at 180 meters. The thing was at least 2.4 meters tall and its color changed from red to orange and then yellow. Niles took a photo of it from the window of his house. The photo is said to be in the hands of the authorities, who of course have never released the picture.

Event 26974 (56FF3611)

Date: 8/24/1966
Locations: Minot AFB M-6 Minuteman launch site southeast of Norma, North Dakota; N-7 (near Mohall)
Description: 10:00 p.m. Airman 3d Class Michael D. Mueller reports by base radio seeing a multicolored light high in the sky above the Minot AFB M-6 Minuteman launch site southeast of Norma, North Dakota. A team goes to his location and confirms the object and sees a second white object passing in front of clouds. The base radar detects the object, which is tracked at about 100,000 feet (20 miles). The object rises and descends a number of times, and each time Maj. Chester A. Shaw Jr., in charge of the M-6 missile crew, finds his radio transmission interrupted by static, even though he is 60 feet underground. The UFO gradually descends to ground level 10–15 miles south of the base. The Air Force sends a strike team to check on it. When they are within 10 miles of the site, static disrupts their radio contact. Five to eight minutes later, the glow diminishes and the UFO takes off. Another UFO is sighted and tracked on radar; the first object flies underneath this second one. The two objects disappear separately. The entire episode lasts about 4 hours and is confirmed by two other missile launch sites, M- 4 and N-7 (near Mohall). Another report from the same time period mentions that some missiles went off alert for 24 hours after a UFO sighting at the N-1 missile alert facility.

NORAD says it is the Soviet PROTON 3. But the PROTON 3 was traveling more than 350 miles beyond at the time of the observation. (Bruce Maccabee) Three photos are taken, enlarged and widely published. These photos are “hazy” and do not show at all what the astronauts said they saw with their own eyes. (1989 - listing and research by Harvey S. Stewart) Richard Gordon and Charles Conrad report the presence of an orange-yellow UFO about ten kilometers away from them. (note by vog: what precision! for astronauts in space without any reference point…) It dives in front of them and disappears when they try to photograph it.

Event 27099 (940D6DEC)

Description: (Translated from French) In Deadwood (South Dakota), 4 police officers observe night lights for 1 hour. 2 pairs of police officers on patrol in 2 neighboring towns observe a large, round, white and shiny object at 50° above the horizon. Radio communications between the two groups allow for an approximate triangulation that locates the object in the sky about halfway between the two towns… They try to get closer: The object remained suspended, motionless, for about 15 minutes, extinguishing when we directed our spotlights on it. It was the size of a dollar coin held at arm’s length. Shortly after, a smaller object - a light - streaked across the sky and also stopped next to the large light. Then the big light described a square trajectory, sending blue light beams to the ground from time to time. After maneuvering like this for about 1/2 hour, the lights shot off at full speed in the direction from which they came and disappeared in about 5 seconds. And all this absolutely silently.

Event 27141 (7BAD99A1)

Date: 10/2/1966
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
Description: 8:20 p.m. Mrs. Everett Steward is talking on the telephone at her home in Cincinnati, Ohio, when she smells a foul odor in the room. She goes to her bedroom, but she has a feeling of being watched. Looking out the window, she sees an oval-shaped object with portholes and red, green, and white lights revolving around it. It is 75 feet in diameter and hovering at 100 feet. She wakes up her husband, who also sees it, and calls her married daughter, Mrs. Janet Emery, a mile away; the Emerys also see it, and a neighbor with binoculars can see that it has square windows glowing yellow. Janet goes outdoors and sees the UFO eject a red ball, which maneuvers while the first UFO takes off southward. The red ball flies 75–100 feet over Janet’s head; its underside is shiny like aluminum foil. Mrs. Steward goes to bed, but the odor is still in the house. After some time, the room is filled for an instant with brilliant white light; then this vanishes and a globe of light about 21 inches in diameter appears at the foot of her bed. Inside are 5 “non-human, hairless heads” with oval, sunken eyes. Instead of noses, there are slits, and they have no mouths. Telepathically, they repeat several times: “We have made contact.” Mrs. Steward screams and the globe disappears. She is so disquieted by the experience that she goes under psychiatric care for the next 2 years.

Date: 10/2/1966
Description: Mrs. Everett Steward, a flight attendant, was talking on the telephone from her home in Cincinnati, Ohio at 10:20 p.m. when she smelled a foul odor in the room. She went to her bedroom, where she had a feeling of being watched. Looking out the window, she saw an oval-shaped object with portholes and red, green, and white lights revolving around it. It was 75 feet in diameter and 100 feet above the ground. She woke her husband, who also saw it, and called her married daughter, Mrs. Janet Emery, a mile away. The Emerys also saw it, and a neighbor with binoculars could see that it had illuminated yellow square windows. Next, her daughter Janet went outdoors and saw the UFO eject a red ball, which maneuvered about while the first UFO took off southward. The red ball flew 100 feet over Jane’s head. It too was oval shaped, and its underside was shiny like aluminum foil. It was “bigger than my cottage and yard combined.” She also smelled the garbage like odor. Mrs. Steward went to bed, but the odor still persisted in the house. Sometime later that night the room was filled with a brilliant white light, which then vanished, and a globe of light about 21 inches in diameter appeared at the foot of her bed. Inside the globe were the images of five “non-human, hairless heads” with oval, sunken eyes. “Instead of noses, there were slits, and they had no mouths.” Telepathically, they repeated several times that “we have made contact.” Mrs Steward screamed, and the globe disappeared. She was so upset by the experience that she began psychiatric counseling and continued it for the next two years.

Location: John Street in Connersville, Indiana
Description: 5:00 a.m. Jack Jones is delivering newspapers on John Street in Connersville, Indiana. He notices a group of lights in a field to the west past the dead end. He thinks it might be a new light installation and moves on. The next day, Jones is with another paper carrier, Don Doe, and he suggests they go see the new lights. Jack sees the lights, but they are in a different position somewhat to the north. Both boys sit on their bicycles and watch a dark disc-shaped object with flashing red, green, and white lights on it that is apparently on the ground some 840 feet into the field. They estimate it is 27 feet in diameter and 10 feet high. They hear a high-pitched whirring sound and smell a faint odor of sulfur and tannic acid. After watching it a few minutes, they hear a new sound as if someone is walking slowly toward them through some thick weeds. They take off on their bicycles and don’t look back. Some days later, investigators find three holes, 8 feet apart in an equilateral triangle, where the object was seen. The holes measure 7 inches at the top and 1 inch at the bottom.

When she went out, the object was arriving just south of the grain silo (72 feet high) going from east to west, slowly. The object was about 35 feet in altitude and the witness thought it was an airplane trying to make an emergency landing, but then she saw it in its entirety. This oval machine measured 50 feet by 100 feet, around the ends there was a bluish glow as well as around the bottom. This glow looked more like a kind of opaque mist. The craft itself was blue and seemed to be metallic and on the sides there were ribs. The object was not luminous. There was only one black window at the front. At the rear end, a part like a spur protruded. The object disappeared by raising its nose and leaving like an arrow.

(…) the witness stayed in his car until the bus driver, worried to see that he was not following them anymore, came back on his route. (…) the bus had scared the monster who dropped his long hair over his eyes. As soon as he did this, to the great surprise of the motorist, his engine started again. He did not tell anything to his friends for fear of being considered crazy. … a few meters from the first incident, his engine had misfires again. Priestly then saw sparks coming out from under the hood as if there was a short circuit. He looked at the side of the road and frozen with fear he saw again the giant looking at him. The bus came back again and this time the creature fled into the forest. (1966, mid-October)

Event 27205 (6CF903A6)

Date: 10/15/1966
Location: Split Rock Pond, south of Newfoundland, New Jersey
Description: 4:45 a.m. Forester Jerry H. Simons is driving home from a camping expedition, notices a reddish glow behind him, and stops his car near Split Rock Pond, south of Newfoundland, New Jersey, to investigate. A flat- bottom, red-orange disc with a dome on top is hovering above and behind his car. Near panic, he flees the area with the object following him. When the light from the object illuminates the ground around him, his car engine, dashlights, and headlights all fail. When the object recedes, his lights and engine function normally. This sequence is repeated three times, strongly demonstrating a direct correlation between the light from the UFO and the failure of his car’s electrical system. Shortly after the sighting, Simons begins experiencing a recurring illness (the reason for his story appearing in a medical journal); it is characterized by fatigue, anorexia, soreness, muscle weakness, chills, and significant weight loss. After about 6 months he has fully recovered.

The three objects then form 90° angles, equilateral triangles, and other geometrical figures. Two of the students go home for binoculars, and while they are away the sky show stops. They remain in the sky, but stationary. The objects look spherical through binoculars with some sort of lighted, colored areas that rotate.

Date: 11/1966
Location: BELGIUM, Aische en Refail
Description: (Translated from French) G.P., 19 years old, on a Flandria 49cc moped, was returning home at night, around 11 pm. As he approached a small hill in S, he noticed that in front of him the sky was blazing red and at the same time the moped’s engine weakened and the headlight dimmed greatly. He was unable to restart the engine. “I saw on my left an circular object from which the light was coming. From 3 to 4 m high for 4 to 5 m base: a flat disc topped with an elongated dome that looked like a beehive. The dome was dark, the base of the craft illuminated with a mixture of red, yellow and white, forming a reddish halo in which the shape was outlined, it was coming towards me emitting a dull noise.” The object flew so low that G.P. thought it was going to collide with him, but it certainly passed 10 or 15 m from the ground and continued on its trajectory towards the fields that it illuminated. When G.P. saw this thing up close he noticed a flat dark background circled with reddish-yellow lights, like portholes. When the UFO had moved away 50 m, the moped started again all at once, the machine jumped and G.P. had difficulty controlling it." Total duration of the observation: 15 seconds.

This grant was to a scientist who was pushed into it, had little interest and apparently no experience, and, despite his brilliance, ‘didn’t have a clue.’ Because the reports of the UFO phenomenon are so complex and multidimensional, this short-term ‘backwards grant’ was doomed to fail before it was even signed.”

Event 27266 (33D7D820)

Date: 11/1/1966
Locations: Newfields, New Hampshire; Exeter, New Hampshire
Description: 8:00 p.m. Mrs. Ray Tibbetts is talking on the phone in her home at Newfields, New Hampshire, when her son, Dale, yells that there is a strange light outside. Her foster daughter, Anita Purrington, joins Dale and they both get excited. Mrs. Tibbetts runs to a window when the house lights begin blinking on and off. She goes to her son’s room and sees a huge object with two tiers of four windows from which a strange, yellow-green light is shining. The size of one of the windows is as big as her living room wall. An apparent ceiling line is visible in the bottom tier. Suddenly an intense white light shoots out from the object at Mrs. Tibbetts, who is knocked backward and gets spots before her eyes. When her vision clears, the UFO is gone. She has pains in her eyes the next two days and they are extremely sensitive to light. She drives to a clinic in Exeter, New Hampshire, which finds a spasm in the eyelid and tearing, but it attributes this to the cobalt therapy she has been getting.

Location: USA, Parkersburg (West Virginia)
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Darenberger saw on the road a dark object flattened at the base and rounded at the top. As the witness stopped, the object came within 20 cm of the road surface. A man with a dark complexion wearing an ordinary shiny blue shirt and trousers emerged and smiled at him. The witness then felt as if he was receiving a message without any words being spoken. This message described another world called Lanulos and suggested that the sighting be reported to the authorities. The man from the saucer promised to return. Several people who were passing at that moment on the road reported having seen the man talking to the witness and that they saw a strange vehicle in the clouds. (November 2 (3?), 1966)

Event 27278 (5CB31BB9)

Date: Early 11/1966
Locations: Minot; Donnybrook; North Dakota; Parkersburg; West Virginia; Interstate 77
Description: Low and Hynek make the Colorado project’s first field trip, to Minot and Donnybrook, North Dakota. November 2 — 7:25 p.m. Woodrow Derenberger is driving his panel truck home to Parkersburg, West Virginia, on Interstate 77 when a low-flying dark object about 35 feet wide cuts in front of him and forces him to stop. It hovers a foot above the ground, only 20 feet ahead. The object has a profile similar to a kerosene lamp chimney flattened on the bottom side. A door opens and a smiling man of dark complexion descends, wearing a topcoat (“blue and quite shiny, having a glistening effect”) over shiny blue trousers. Without opening his mouth, which bears a fixed grin, he addresses Derenberger telepathically, asking him to open his window. For the next 10 minutes he conducts a telepathic conversation, first asking Derenberger’s name and saying that his own is “Indrid Cold” from a planet called Lanulos in the “Ganymede galaxy.” He tells Derenberger not to think of him as an alien and concludes by saying, “We will see you again.” After admitting Mr. Cold, the UFO rises vertically and disappears. A truck driver named Walter Vanscoy is going north on I-77 and sees, in apparent confirmation of the encounter, a truck parked on the berm of the southbound I-77 lanes with a man wearing a knee-length coat standing by the passenger side. Derenberger’s space adventures are only beginning.

Event 27283 (7B45C5F6)

Date: 11/4/1966
Locations: US Highway 50 near Parkersburg, West Virginia; intersection of I-77 and State Highway 47
Description: Derenberger has another encounter when he lapses into a trance while driving a truck with a colleague along US Highway 50 near Parkersburg, West Virginia. He starts speaking, sometimes mumbling, other times conveying messages about “ships.” Derenberger later says that Cold was sending him a telepathic message that his ship was directly above the truck. A sighting of a UFO “like two glass chimneys from a kerosene lamp welded together at their widest or bulging ends” at 6:45 p.m. by Irma Hudgins and her daughter Pamela Sue near the intersection of I-77 and State Highway 47 seems to confirm some UFO activity. Derenberger has further meetings with Indrid Cold and his companion Carl Ardo, who often pass undetected among earthlings, through the early 1970s and in 1984.

Event 27286 (D4ADD2D4)

Date: 11/5/1966
Description: On this night Mrs. Kathleen glanced out the kitchen door of her house in Arlington, Indiana and saw a lighted object, which moved toward her and hovered 50 feet away, some 20-30 feet up in the air. It was as big as a house and Saturn-shaped. In the middle of the object were brightly lit windows. Mrs. Kathleen could see in these windows a man and two women, who appeared to be on different floors. The man, muscular in build, was manipulating something like a steering wheel and was staring directly at her, which frightened her. One of the women who was on the lower level handed him a small object “like a cup of coffee.” After about three minutes the object began to move westward, then rose steeply emitting a multicolored exhaust. It moved off at a speed greater then a jet.

Description: 6:30 p.m. A driver on State Highway 47 near Parkersburg, West Virginia, sees a UFO and gets out to watch it. At first it looks like two lights near the American Viscose plant across the Little Kanawha River. The object crosses the river and the highway then turns off its lights at about 100–150 feet altitude. The lights come back on and it starts moving toward the witness, stopping right over his car and focusing a bright beam of light on him for 10 seconds. It shuts off and the object moves leisurely away to the south.

Description: Hynek and Vallée give an extended briefing to Condon and his staff. Hynek urges the project to adopt a rating system, by which if a sighting emerges as both strange and credible, it will be deemed worthy of further investigation. Vallée recommends standardized report forms that ask all the right questions. They both sense that Low, not Condon, is “clearly the decision-maker.” Hynek tells Craig that the project must recommend that scientific investigation of UFOs be continued.

Also, the numbers on the backs of the photographs are out of sequence with Ditter’s story.

(…) They were passing by one of the two abandoned electric stations, when they saw on the side of the road, a strange vertical creature observing them. The being “was of human appearance, but tall, between 6 and 7 feet tall [about 2 meters], and it had two large wings folded on its back,” declared Roger Scarberry. And his wife Linda added: “But what struck the most was its eyes. They were huge, red, like car headlights.” The car slowed down. For about a minute, the mysterious creature and the four passengers stared at each other in silence. Then the being turned around and entered the electric cabin, whose door was open… (1966, night of November 14th to 15th)

Event 27317 (A9C06A5B)

Date: 11/14/1966
Description: At 10:30 p.m. Mr. Newell Partridge was sitting at home in Salem, West Virginia when suddenly the TV blacked out. A fine herringbone pattern appeared on the tube, and simultaneously the TV began making a loud whining noise, winding up to a high pitch as if on a musical scale. He said it sounded like a generator winding up. Outside on his front porch his dog Bandit began wailing. Partridge picked up a flashlight and went outside to investigate. The dog was sitting on the end of the porch, howling down toward the hay barn in the bottom. Partridge shined his light in that direction and it picked up two red circles, or eyes, which looked like bicycle reflectors. There was something about the eyes that was difficult to explain. The eyes were huge and plainly visible at a distance of 150 yards. As soon as the flashlight picked out the “eyes” Bandit snarled and ran toward them. A “cold chill” swept over the man and he felt a wave of fear, which kept him from following the dog. That night he slept with a loaded gun beside his bed. The next day he went looking for his dog with some neighbors. They found tracks. At the approximate position of the “eyes” he found a large number of dog tracks. The tracks were going in a circle, as if the dog had been chasing his tail. Then the tracks vanished, the dog was never seen again.

Event 27326 (7D3A81CF)

Date: 11/15/1966
Locations: Point Pleasant, West Virginia; McClintic Wildlife Management Area; Mason County Courthouse
Description: 11:30 p.m. Two young couples from Point Pleasant, West Virginia—Roger and Linda Scarberry and Steve and Mary Mallette—are joyriding in an area outside of town known as the “TNT area” [the site of a former World War II munitions plant and now part of the McClintic Wildlife Management Area] when they encounter a large gray creature whose eyes glow red when the car’s headlights pick it up. Scarberry describes it as shaped like a man but nearly 7 feet tall. They describe it as a “large flying man with 10-foot wings” that are folded against its back. Terrified, they drive away but pass a similar creature on a hill by the road. As they pass it, it spreads its wings, rises into the air, and pursues their car, keeping pace at even 100 mph. The entity does not pursue them into town, but they drive directly to the Mason County Courthouse, where they tell their story to Deputy Millard Halstead, who accompanies the witnesses back to the site. He hears strange static disturbances coming from his radio, but they find no evidence of the encounter. On November 16, Sheriff George E. Johnson holds a press conference to discuss the sighting, the press begins calling the creature “Mothman” based on a comic book character. The Scarberrys and Mallettes go back to the site in the daylight and find odd-looking tracks like “two horseshoes put together.” After this sighting, more people begin reporting encounters, and hundreds of cars swarm out to the TNT area at night in search of a Mothman sighting. In May 1976, representatives of the Ohio UFO Investigators League reinterview several witnesses, all of whom stick to their stories and sometimes add interesting details.

Area on their way to visit some mutual friends, the Thomases. Suddenly, a strange and large red light appeared in the sky, moving above the T.N.T. Area. It was certainly not an airplane. When they arrived at their destination, the Wamsleys and Mrs Bennett were getting out of the car when an enormous gray figure suddenly appeared behind the car and rose slowly. It was bigger than a man, with two terrifyingly bright eyes. Panic seized the small group: the Wamsleys ran towards the house, followed by Mrs Bennett carrying her crying daughter.

Event 27338 (918AC1E3)

Date: 11/17/1966
Description: At 1:30 a.m. Margaret Marchute saw on the ground in Collegeville, Pennsylvania a luminous object that seemed to be made of polished metal. After about half an hour a red flame shot upward from the object, then two very bright lights approached it from the distance. When these were near it something like a luminous balloon sprang up from it and hovered in the air. At this point she could see 3 or 4 figures moving about the large object on the ground, which was pulsating from dim to bright. They were dressed in a “gold shiny material.” She watched them for about two hours before going to bed.

Event 27339 (5B510A29)

Date: 11/17/1966
Description: In Gaffney, South Carolina police patrolmen A. G. Huskey and C. Hutchins rounded a corner and saw a dark, spherical machine with a flat rim land in front of their patrol car at four o’clock in the morning. They estimated it was seven meters in diameter and about twenty feet above the ground. Hutchins described it as being spherical, like a ball, with a wide, flat rim around it. There were no lights or portholes visible on it. It was completely dark, reflecting a dull gold color in the headlights of the police car. A small doorway opened noiselessly on the underside of the sphere and a short ladder dropped down. A small man dressed in a shiny gold suit emerged. White light poured out of the opening, but neither man could see anything in the interior. The small being descended the ladder and walked slowly and deliberately toward the two police officers. When the figure reached a point about fifteen to twenty feet from the two men, it stopped.

“He didn’t move stiffly,” officer Hutchins said. “He moved just like anybody else, but kind of slow…like he was taking his time. He wasn’t scared of us or anything like that.” In appearance, the humanoid was about the size of a twelve-year-old boy, maybe four feet tall. He wore no helmet or headgear and was dressed in a gold suit with no buttons or zippers. His costume was shiny, like metal, in the reflection of the headlights, but it was not self-luminous. The humanoid asked numerous questions and ignored the witnesses when they asked any questions. Hutchins could not remember seeing the feet of the creature. It was standing on high grass and the feet must have been hidden. Both men could not really remember the full context of the “conversation”. Hutchins claimed the alien spoke perfect English. “Didn’t have any accent or anything. He acted like he knew exactly what he was saying and doing…didn’t make any quick moves or false moves. He just stood there and talked to the witnesses.” He wanted to know why both men were dressed alike. His speech was very precise. He pronounced each work very carefully. When asked where he was from, he just laughed. The meeting was brief, perhaps only two or three minutes. Then, Hutchins say, the creature announced, “I…will…return…in…two…days.” He turned, walked slowly back to the ladder and climbed into the object. The door closed quietly and the craft began to make a soft whirring sound like an engine with a muffler on it. The object rose slowly and vanished into the sky. A local councilman found numerous footprints at the site where the little man had stood. There was no return visit by the alien.

Event 27340 (88415B58)

Date: 11/18/1966
Location: USA, Point Pleasant
Description: (Translated from French) Sandhill Cranes are large, grey, aggressive birds with big red eyes. The TNT area is right next to the McClintic Wildlife Station, a sanctuary for birds and other wild animals. On November 18, the volunteer fire brigade of Point Pleasant, Captain Paul Yoder accompanied by Benjamin Enochs, were driving through the TNT area when they saw a large creature with huge red eyes. They had never seen anything like it before. But what they could certainly affirm was that the big beast was some kind of bird. (November 18, 1966)

Event 27363 (0CD96B03)

Date: 11/22/1966
Locations: State Highway 58; Willamette Pass, Oregon; Diamond Peak overlook
Description: 9:00–10:00 a.m. A biochemist and consultant to a logging company and his wife are traveling on State Highway 58 through the Willamette Pass, Oregon, when he decides to stop and take photos of some scenery. He stops at the Diamond Peak overlook, takes 2 photos, then pauses to take a third. Suddenly, he claims, a disc- shaped object with a domed top ascends into his field of view. After stopping for 3 seconds, it shoots off toward the right and disappears into a cloud bank. When he develops the roll of film, the photos show a blurred disc- shaped object with two black bands beneath and sitting atop a seeming column of vapor. NICAP is given the photo but is not impressed. In 1989, physicist Irwin Wieder performs a detailed analysis of the photo and determines that it is a blurred photo of the “Diamond Peak” sign taken from a passing car.

Description: 10:00 a.m. A deer hunter searching for game near Roaring River State Park, Missouri, returns to his group’s camp and becomes alarmed when he sees smoke rising from it. He finds their tent and other camping equipment destroyed. The tent is still smoldering, one of the aluminum tent poles is singed, and the aluminum cots are melted. The tent is set up under two trees, but their leaves show no traces of damage at all. About 15 feet away is a dead tree with its top still burning. The witness then heasr a low humming sound and sees an object rising from the valley about 300 feet away. He is able to take a photograph of it as it ascends and manages a second photo a few seconds later. It is an aluminum-colored disc, about 25 feet in diameter and 8 feet thick, with a band around its center and some kind of projection at its rear. The humming sound intensifies as the object picks up speed and disappears in 20 seconds.

It then turned toward them, terrifying the girl. It was about the size of an automobile and bright silver in color, with a bubble cupola or dome on top. It carried an antenna bearing a flashing red light. Inside the dome was a small human form dressed in black and wearing a helmet. Mrs Vargo did not see where the object went. It made no sound and there was no interference with the car’s radio.

Event 27456 (6C8C7086)

Date: 12/29/1966 (approximate)
Location: In flight, between Lima and Mexico
Description: (Translated from French) In the night of December 29, 1966, the Canadian Pacific DC 8, flight 421, was en route from Lima to Mexico, altitude: 12,000 meters. South of the equator, an object with two white lights descended towards it. “There must have been a solid cockpit between the two lights,” said Captain Robert Millbank with all the authority of his twenty-six years of practice, there was also a belt of lights, very similar to a row of lit windows on a passenger plane. For two minutes, the UFO had maintained its position slightly behind the left wing of the DC 8. The entire crew had been able to observe it. Then it had glided back and had soon disappeared. (Donald KEYHOE: “The Strangers from Space” - Pocket Press 1975 - p. 265-266) Robert Milbank, captain of the Canadian Pacific DC 8, submitted a report after landing in Mexico: It was 02:00, the passengers were sleeping. We were flying at 11,000 m, off the Peruvian coast, just below the equator. Two white lights appeared. They were observed by the co-pilot John Dale, the navigator Mike Mole, the trainee pilot Wolfgang Poepperi and the flight attendant Joseph Lugs (in addition to the captain). (…) It stopped at the height of our left wing and in the moonlight we distinguished between the two extreme light points a structure that seemed higher in the middle. The thing flew at our height for a minute or two, then disappeared behind our aircraft. (1966, December 29 (30?))

Event 27468 (34670C3B)

Date: 1967
Location: Lake Karachay, Russia
Description: In 1967 a drought reduced water levels in Lake Karachay where nuclear waste was being dumped, exposing radioactive dust. The dust was spread by gale-force winds in the area, spread over 25,000 square kilometers and exposing another 500,000 residents to nuclear fallout. The lake would eventually accumulate over 120 million curies of radionuclides. To put that in perspective, the Chernobyl incident released 1 million.

Event 27470 (DE4B14E2)

Date: 1967
Location: USSR
Description: (Translated from French) From January 1967, American NORAD operators noticed from time to time the satellization of Cosmos, which barely completed one orbit around the Earth before falling back, to the point that optical and radar installations could locate them precisely. The first of its kind was Cosmos 139, which was followed by several other identical satellites, launched at a variable rate. There were 9 of them in 1967 and on November 3, 1967, US Defense Minister Mac Namara could announce that the US Air Force had identified the nature of this Soviet space program, to which the acronym “FOBS” (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System) was attributed.

Event 27486 (B8FCD1AA)

Date: 1/1967
Location: Hammaguir, Algeria
Description: Night. French rocket scientist Jean-Pierre Morin is driving three members of a launch team to the tower at Interarmy Special Vehicles Test Center at Hammaguir, Algeria. When they arrive at a row of buildings, they notice a light in the sky silently coming toward them. Their car engine sputters and fails. It stops and hovers at an elevation of 45° about 1,600 feet away. Morin thinks it is attached to a black, cylindrical object 980–1,300 feet in length and 100 feet in diameter with “flames” of different colors along its side. The light begins moving slowly again, and a car with astrophysicists stops and watches it for another 20–30 minutes before it ascends and disappears.

The craft settled on a tripod landing gear; it measured 25 m in diameter and was 10 m high. Something similar to an elevator came down from it, and a man dressed in blue coveralls “with something like a glass fishbowl on his head,” of medium height, seemed to check something and left.

Event 27504 (D45AEBF1)

Date: 1/5/1967
Location: Lindheimer Observatory at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois
Description: Hynek writes to Condon, telling him that he, Jacques Vallée, and William T. Powers are devoting more personal time to the UFO problem and are setting up a file area in the Lindheimer Observatory at Northwestern University in Evansto, Illinois. He mentions that there is enough underground interest in UFOs among his scientific colleagues that he is thinking of creating an informal “invisible college” to discuss the subject quietly. He mentions that he sat in on a hypnosis session a few weeks previously with Benjamin Simon and was allowed to question Betty and Barney Hill. He also suggests that the Colorado project recommend that police squad cars carry cameras that can document ongoing UFO reports.

Description: (Translated from French) The luminous spheres observed on June 15th 1966 return after 6 months to the same farm in Aveyron. The farmer, who had gone out to take care of the animals, suddenly sees a sphere 50 m away from him. He decides to go behind the thing to see what it was, having already assumed that there was one in front and one behind; but when he passes the door, the sphere is just there waiting for him, while it was still in the courtyard a moment earlier. The man then decides to take a small path through the fields to go around the object but the sphere follows him for 60 m before blocking the entrance of the path: This thing followed me for about 60 m, quite close to me… so there was a small path where I wanted to pass… to go around it from behind, then it followed me all the way… until I stopped there where I wanted to go around it, and the “machine” stops too, just at the entrance of the path. So I said, there, there’s no arguing, I can’t pass! The farmer then calls his son and both of them see 6 spheres that scare them so much that they immediately go back into the house. The large oblong object is also there and it emits a beam similar to that of a lighthouse: There was a lighthouse above, just at the end, to the right, and it was lighting up this window up there, it was lighting up the whole room… I had the window open in front. - Was it a diffuse beam, or rather concentrated? - Oh, concentrated, very concentrated. - And it was lighting up your room? - Yes, it was lighting up it… going and coming… it was turning… it was always turning. - Was it turning in a circle, like a lighthouse? - Yes, sometimes it was lighting up the window below… it kept turning in a circle… but it was there, at 11 PM already, maybe 11:15 or something like that. And then, all of a sudden, everything went out. Everything went out and I didn’t see anything anymore. I don’t know if it had left or if it was still there. (January 6th, 11 PM)

(http://temrowski.tributes.com/obituary/show/Grant-Paul-Jaroslaw-94892245), take some Polaroid photos from the backyard of their home of a domed object moving slowly above Lake St. Clair. After they release the images to a wire service, the Air Force requests the originals for analysis. They refuse to relinquish them but give an officer at Selfridge AFB [now Selfridge Air National Guard Base] some copies. Maj. Raymond Nyls attempts to recreate the photos at the original site using a block of wood hanging from a string on a children’s swing set. USAF turns the copies and Nyls’s recreations over to the National Photographic Interpretation Center, which takes a serious look and suspects a hoax but cannot prove it conclusively.

Event 27525 (F36968BB)

Date: 1/9/1967
Description: At 5:30 p.m. there was a knock at Edward Christiansen’s home in Wildwood, New Jersey. Seventeen-year-old Connie Christiansen went to the door. Stunned, she reported back to her mother, “It’s the strangest looking man I’ve ever seen.” Mrs. Christiansen then went to the door and unlatched it and looked outside. It was growing dark and was bitter cold out. There was no car in view and this seemed unusual because the Christiansen home was in an isolated area and guests were unlikely to be arriving on foot. A tall man stood at the door and asked if Edward Christiansen lived there. He then said he was from “the Missing Heirs Bureau” and asked to be let in. They invited the stranger inside. The visitor must have been at least two meters (six and a half feet) tall, and was enormously broad shouldered. He wore a Russian fur hat with a black visor on it and a very long black coat that seemed to be made out of thin material–too thin for the cold weather. He told the family “this will only take forty minutes.” As he removed his hat he revealed an unusually shaped head that was large and round, while his face seemed angular and pointed. He had black hair, which was closely cropped. There was a perfectly round spot on the back of his head as if that area had been shaved recently. His nose and mouth seemed relatively normal, but his eyes were large, protruding, like “thyroid eyes,” and set wide apart. One eye appeared to have a cast, like a glass eye, and did not move in unison with its companion.

During the course of the conversation Mr. Christiansen noticed a badge on the stranger’s shirt pocket, which he quickly covered with his hand and removed, placing it in his coat pocket. It resembled a gold or brass badge and it seemed to have a big K on it with a small x alongside and letters and numbers around the edge, according to Connie Christiansen. Underneath his thin outer coat he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt made of a Dacron like material. His trousers were of a dark gray or black material, and were a little too short. He wore dark shoes with unusually thick rubber soles. A strange feature on his leg fascinated Connie and Mrs. Christiansen. When he sat down they could see a long thick green wire attached to the inside of his leg. It came out or his socks and disappeared under his trousers. At one point it seemed to be indented into his leg and was covered with a large brown spot. The Christiansen’s noted that the visitor had an unnatural pallor. His speech was also strange, with a high “tinny” voice that seemed especially peculiar coming from such a large man. He also spoke in a strange, hard to understand, sing-song manner. At one point when his face reddened he asked for a glass of water, and swallowed a large yellow capsule which he gulped down. He then returned to normal. After about 40 minutes he donned his hat and coat and told Mr. Christiansen that he would be in touch. When he reached the road, he made a gesture and a black 1963 Cadillac drove through the trees and pulled up. He climbed into the car and it drove away with its headlights off.

The object itself oscillates back and forth: - Were the car doors closed during this time? - Yes, yes… I had to open the window, I think… Or maybe it was after, when it left, that I opened the window… and then I felt a wave of heat and I felt almost… I couldn’t move my hands or feet as long as it lasted.

Event 27539 (9029D3C7)

Date: 1/11/1967
Description: That same night in Aveyron, Basses Pyrenees, France a farmer sighted a “shell” shaped object taking off from his farm. The man then proceeded to chase a ball of light in his car. The nocturnal light stayed 150 yards ahead of him until his engine died and his lights went out, when he then noticed a “saucer shaped” object descend. The saucer was slightly bigger than a Peugeot car, 9-12 feet above the ground, and came down about 60 feet away. The top of the object had two transparent cupolas in each of which he could see a helmeted figure, human like and dressed in green and white coveralls. He felt a wave of heat and a temporary sensation of paralysis. He watched a nearby road sign vibrating near the oval object. With a whistling sound the UFO rose to 50 meters altitude then dropped back again to near ground level. Becoming brilliantly yellow-white, it finally took off at tremendous speed. As it did so his lights came back on and he was able to start the car normally. Several days later the witness experienced trouble sleeping, followed by some weeks of excessive sleepiness. The area had been the site of repeated UFO incidents for a year.

Description: The USAF advisory committee holds a special briefing in Boulder, Colorado. Condon discusses project plans and asks the Air Force where the project should place its emphasis. Lt. Col. Hippler, along with Col. Raymond Sleeper, Blue Book’s boss as Foreign Technology Division Commander, says the project is not required to prove or disprove anything, but that “we don’t want any recommendation from you unless you feel strongly about it.” He rejects Wertheimer’s suggestion that the project should concentrate on witnesses, not sightings. Hippler and Ratchford do not adequately respond to Low’s question about what USAF wants from the project.

Event 27544 (3E8CCF3E)

Date: 1/13/1967
Location: USA, near Winslow (Arizona)
Description: (Translated from French) R0 - 22 hours - 3 witnesses - duration 25 minutes. A conversation had started between the Albuquerque control tower and the pilot of a jet Lear, located near Winslow. He had indicated that he saw a red light, first at his 10 o’clock position, which lit up and went out, then turned into four lights arranged vertically. Albuquerque radar, when the light lit up “painted” an object and remained silent when it went out. The light repeatedly generated four other lights, seeming to re-ingest the lights below it. Then, as the tower warned the plane that the object was approaching it, the latter seemed to play cat and mouse with it, notably through very rapid accelerations. After about 25 minutes and with a prodigious acceleration according to the plane’s pilot, the object rose at an angle of 30° and disappeared in less than 10 seconds. Albuquerque radar “painted” the object until its final acceleration.

Date: 1/13/1967
Locations: Joplin, Missouri; Pittsburg, Kansas; Stone’s Corner; Coffeyville, Kansas; Springfield, Missouri; Newton County, Missouri; northeast Oklahoma
Description: Early morning. Sgt. Norman Finley of the Joplin, Missouri, police alerts fellow officers about an unexplained object overhead. Pittsburg, Kansas, police dispatcher James Cunningham notifies the Joplin police that a UFO has been seen over Pittsburg. He describes it as an object with bright colors of “vivid blue-green with flashing lights.” Cunningham alerts the Joplin station because the object seems to be leaving Kansas and heading for Missouri. After receiving that call, Joplin’s Lt. Charles Hickman drives to Stone’s Corner near the Joplin airport. He waits for nearly an hour before spotting a UFO in the sky, which he watches for more than an hour. It is about 1,000 feet high and seems about as big as two houses. It makes turns and maneuvers “as if it were being controlled.” For the next three days, there are more sightings in the early morning hours at Coffeyville, Kansas; Joplin, Springfield, and Newton County, Missouri; and northeast Oklahoma.

Event 27552 (87BBF33D)

Date: 1/13/1967
Locations: southwestern New Mexico; Albuquerque; Winslow, Arizona; Los Angeles; Flagstaff
Description: 10:00 p.m. The crew of a Lear Jet flying at 41,000 feet over southwestern New Mexico sees a flashing red luminous object in their 10 o’clock position. The object splits into four smaller red objects vertically several times, each separated by about 2,000 feet and each emitting a “red ray.” It then retracts the lowest objects into the top object. Albuquerque radar tracks a target 39 miles ahead of the Lear Jet moving on the same heading, with no transponder signal. At that moment the object blinks off visually for 30 seconds then blinks back on. The UFO floods the jet with an intense red light so bright that the pilot has difficulty seeing his instrument panel. It maintains its position in front for a few minutes then blinks out, comes on again, and falls back behind the left wing. It then pulls forward again. Albuquerque radar reports that it looks like the target had merged with the jet. Both the UFO and the jet make left turns over Winslow, Arizona, after which Los Angeles Center radar picks up both targets. Past Flagstaff, the object climbs at a 30° angle and disappears to the west in less than 10 seconds.

Event 27553 (15229CC6)

Date: 1/13/1967
Description: Nine-year old Freddie Amos woke up at 1:30 a.m. in his farmhouse in Iola, Kansas to see a round object hovering motionless low over an adjoining field. It was 25 feet in diameter, had a dome on top, short wing-like protrusions, and three wheels on its underside. There were red lights on the ends of the “wings,” and a blue light on top of the dome. A man stood inside the dome looking out, and another man was visible sitting behind a console behind him. The man standind wore a “crinkly” green uniform that covered him entirely; his face was in shadow and his facial features could not be seen. This “terrible” man frightened the boy although he could not say why. He got back into bed but continued to watch the object, which circled his house and hovered again for five minutes back in its original position before flying off. In the morning some of their cows were found to have broken through the fence around their pasture. One had broken her leg. A pond in the pasture near the site continued to remain unfrozen although the temperatures were well below freezing. This encounter occurred during a minor concentration of UFO sightings at nearby locales.

Event 27554 (11072912)

Date: 1/13/1967
Description: At 10:00 p.m. Pilot Carl M., a flight officer, and passenger Jimmie Moran on a Lear Jet 23 en route from Houston, Texas to Las Vegas, Nevada flying at 41,000 feet and 300 knots saw a red oval luminous object in the 10 o’clock position. The object split into four similar red oval objects vertically a number of times, each separated by about 2,000 ft and each emitting a “red ray”. They then retracted up into the top object. Albuquerque radar tracked the object 39 miles ahead of the Lear jet moving on the same heading, with no transponder signal. The object blinked off visually for 30 seconds then blinked back on. Albuquerque control contacted a National Airlines DC-8 over Casa Grande, Arizona, whose pilot confirmed the Lear Jet pilot’s reports. Albuquerque control warned the Lear that the object suddenly darted towards the Lear at high speed, and within seconds the radar blips merged. The object flooded the Lear Jet with intense red light so bright the pilot had difficulty seeing his instrument panel, and it maintained a position in front of the Lear for a few minutes. Then, it blinked off-on again and started to fall back behind the left wing, but then pulled forward again. When the object blinked off the Albuquerque radar controllers would lose contact with the object, then regain it when it blinked on again. Both the UFO and Lear jet made left turns over Winslow, Arizona, when Los Angeles ARTC Center radar picked up both targets. Past Flagstaff the object climbed at a 30° angle disappearing to the west in less than 10 seconds.

He went to his window to check and was startled to see a shiny flying object moving slowly 25 feet above the ground. The UFO was described as jar shaped with a silver quilted surface and had an opening on the top. The object seemed to follow the contour of the land and made several sharp-angle turns around trees. The teen grabbed a small plastic camera and snapped several photos. One of the photos seems to show the head of a humanoid like figure protruding from the opening on top of the object.

The object hovers and swings around, revealing lights of a different color and configuration. When the girls stop to watch, their car stalls and the radio and lights go off. It has four glowing lights in the shape of a trapezoid, with red lights on top and white lights forming the base. The lights appear to be reflecting off a metal surface. The object starts moving slowly and then shoots away at high speed. A second car about 3 miles away also sees 7–8 bright lights flying low.

Description: In 1967 in Methuen, Massachusetts three teenaged girls saw a string of red lights moving low to the ground about 500 feet away. As they drove nearer, the object connected with the lights swung around to reveal a trapezoid shape with two red and two white lights and a metallic body. The object was now hovering at 100-300 feet altitude and as it moved to the side of the road, the engine, radio and headlights of the girls’ car suddenly failed. The generator light continued to pulse, however. The object abruptly shot away to the southwest at 6:45 p.m. and everything in the car worked normally again. Later that evening another group of three witness observed the same object 15 minutes later.

Event 27633 (2002ABAF)

Date: 1/24/1967
Description: At 8:10 p.m. Nicholas Rinaldi, a 37-year-old commercial artist, as well as 19 other people driving along Interstate 91 in Cromwell, Connecticut spotted a 300 foot long dark cigar-shaped object flying low over some highway construction on the new Route 9 interstate highway extension. Rinaldi drew a sketch of the object, which had three bright red lights, one at each end and one in the center. The UFO made a whirring sound. The total duration of the sighting, based upon the times reported by the independent witnesses, was 15 minutes. The Air Force attempted to explain the craft as a mis-identified helicopter, based on the notion that a helicopter would have had three red running lights.

Event 27634 (A386D458)

Date: 1/25/1967
Location: GREAT BRITAIN, Studham Common
Description: (Translated from French) At around 1:45 pm there was a sudden flash. It was raining, the atmosphere was heavy. Seven young boys were on their way to school, walking along the Dell, a low valley, ideal for hide and seek. Alex Butler, 10 years old, suddenly saw to the south, a small man in blue with a beard in a clearing above the Dell. He called his friends and they ran towards the silhouette. They were 20 yards away when it disappeared like a puff of smoke. As the silhouette had not scared them, they kept looking for it. They saw it again on the opposite side and it disappeared again, this time to the bottom of the Dell. They then heard “voices” in the bushes and started to be afraid. They saw the man a fourth time before the whistle forced them to go back to school.

Event 27635 (ED5A395E)

Date: 1/25/1967
Location: USA, South Ashburnham (Massachusetts)
Description: (Translated from French) Betty Andreasson Case (memories only under hypnosis in 1977)In the evening of January 25, Betty Andreasson was at home with her seven children and her parents, who had come to help her while her husband was recovering from a car accident in the hospital. Around 7 pm the lights in the house dimmed, Betty saw a pink light shining through the kitchen window. Her father saw small creatures, just like Halloween monsters, in the yard. One of them looked at him and he felt strange. Then the lights came back on. Everyone was petrified in a kind of catatonic trance, but Betty saw four 1.20 m tall beings enter the house passing through the closed door. These beings were typical “grays” wearing tight-fitting blue uniforms. Bette remembered nothing else before undergoing hypnosis regression in 1977 (etc… etc…) (“UFO Files”, ed. Marshall Cavendish, Paris 1998, Special Issue, p. 29) At 6:35 pm the lighting flickers and goes out and an orange pulsating light appears in the garden. Becky (11 years old) and her grandfather rush to the window and see small, big-headed figures hopping closer to the house. Then no one remembers anything else. There were Betty Andreasson, 37 years old, her 7 children, and her parents. Under hypnosis the scene was reconstructed 10 years later (in 1977): the entities float through the walls into the house, the mother also floats into the UFO with the inevitable medical examination etc…

Event 27647 (9D4A7ED1)

Date: 1/25/1967
Location: South Ashburnham, Massachusetts
Description: 6:35 p.m. Betty Andreasson has her first abduction experience in South Ashburnham, Massachusetts. Placed under hypnosis on several occasions in 1977, Andreasson relates that following the appearance of the creatures every member of the family except her enters a state of paralysis “as if time had stopped for them.” A Christian evangelical, Andreasson thinks they must be angels. The culminating event is when Andreasson witnesses a giant phoenix-like bird burn up and reappear from the ashes as a giant worm. Further hypnotic probing brings forth apparent memories of lifelong interactions with extraterrestrials. Raymond E. Fowler’s 1979 book about the case contains the first reference to an implant in abduction literature, a motif that later becomes much more common.

He got out to check under the hood and saw a bright luminous object, 75 feet long by 30 feet wide, approach and land on three legs on the highway. It made a loud whirring noise. Something like an elevator descended from the bottom and a man walked out. He was dressed in a silver-blue, tight-fitting coverall uniform with a “fish-bowl” helmet over his head. He was about average height and appeared to be human. The UFO occupant seemed to examine something on the object. He then got back into the UFO and it took off. The total event lasted between 3-4 minutes.

Event 27649 (A6D57948)

Date: 1/25/1967
Description: At around two a.m. three teenage girls–Susan, Tanya and Marianne–were enjoying a typical teenage pajama party in Pittsfield, Pennsylvania and were doing anything but sleeping when all three simultaneously spotted a peculiar light shimmering through the closed curtains of Susan’s bedroom. Without warning the drapes parted of their own accord and a midget-sized triangular object was revealed, hovering a few feet from the house. It began beaming a pinkish light of a painfully brilliant intensity into the bedroom. When the triangle moved to the second window, the curtains repeated their opening act, and the light intensity increased several fold. At this point the girls became quite frightened and tried to flee, but all three girls quickly became weak and paralyzed, unable to cry out or do more than whimper helplessly. After a few more torturous moments the light effect dissipated and their mobility was restored, although a dizzy sensation continued to haunt the girls for nearly an hour.

Event 27650 (1F31EFD8)

Date: 1/25/1967
Description: Shortly after sunset, Betty Andreasson, her parents and her seven children were frightened by a pulsating reddish-orange light outside their backyard in South Ashburnham, Massachusetts. This was accompanied by a “silent vacuum” and failure of all the lights in the house. Four entities appeared before Betty in the kitchen after passing through a closed door. The beings were nearly identical in appearance, with large baldheads, gray skin, large wrap-around eyes with hazy, light gray interiors. They had “scar like” mouths and holes for noses and ears. They wore sparkly, dark blue uniforms with a lighter blue “Sam Browne” strap. They had bulky hands, possibly gloved, and wore boots.

Their leader, named Quazgaa, was slightly taller and his suit was darker that the others. The reported height of the entities was between 3 1/2 and five feet. Quazgaa began telepathic communication with Betty in the kitchen. He asked her for some food and was offered some left over meat. The beings declined, asking that it be cooked again and she cooked it on the stove. They followed her into the living room where she handed the leader a Bible. He created several copies and handed them to the crew. He in turn handed her a thin, blue book containing their form of knowledge, which remained in her possession for nine days. During these proceedings the other family members were sitting in the living room in a trance state. However, Betty’s daughter remembered and confirmed part of the above testimony. Betty was then “talked into” going onboard the entities’ craft. She was on board for an estimated two hours. During this time she was led through several rooms, was given a physical exam, and had a needle inserted in her nostril and another in her navel, and had a body scan by a device that looked like a giant eye. She was then placed in an enclosed seat that was filled with a soothing liquid, in which she was “prepared” for an unusual journey.

Accompanied by two guides she visited an alien realm where she saw cities, strange bug-eyed creatures, and a vast ocean. She had a traumatic religious experience, which led her to believe that the beings were some form of “angels.” Returning from the journey she was led back to her home by two of the entities, one named Joohop. Her family was still in a state of suspended animation. Her daughter later recalled being “baby sat” by the one remaining entity. The beings, holding spheres of light in their hands, proceeded to put the family to bed, Betty the abductee being the last. The incident included automatic writing, speaking in strange tongues, visions, message transfer and telephone “contact,” some of these occurring under hypnosis and others during the investigation. Betty was found to have several previous contacts and numerous post-1967 abduction experiences as well.

Description: 8:30 p.m. The teenage daughter of a lieutenant colonel residing on a US Army base in Heidelberg, Germany, hears a strange pulsating sound. She tells her father, and they look out the window to see a dirigible- shaped object about 50–60 feet long hovering about 150 feet off the ground above a motor vehicle shed. Before long, a crowd of 50–60 people gather around their apartment building to watch the object, which is only 100 feet away. Some observers with binoculars say it is metallic and has lights that alternate in red, blue, and green colors. After about 20 minutes, US Air Force jets approach in response to a call from the base, and the UFO’s lights increase in intensity and it speeds away.

Event 27663 (D5003AE4)

Date: 1/26/1967
Description: On this morning, about a week after seeing a large metallic sphere hovering above a highway near Charleston, West Virginia, Tad Jones was driving along the same highway at the same time when he came upon a man standing on the roadside in the same spot where the sphere had hovered. Thinking that it was a hitchhiker Tad slowed down and called to him. The man did not reply but merely waved him on. He described the man as very tanned, wearing a blue coat, and a blue cap with a visor. He was holding a box in his hand. It appeared to be some kind of instrument with a dial on it, like a clock, and a wire ran from it to his other hand. A later check with the local gas company proved negative as far as it being one of their men. Furthermore, no such instrument described by Jones was in use anywhere by any of their employees. He saw the same man again the next day, but drove on.

Locations: Studham Common; Studham Lower School, Bedfordshire, England
Description: 1:45 p.m. Alex Butler, 10, and five young friends are playing on Studham Common as they are making their way to Studham Lower School, Bedfordshire, England. Suddenly a flash of lightning strikes nearby, and Alex sees a little blue man about 3 feet tall with a high bowler hat and beard standing motionless on the opposite bank. It is clothed in a one-piece garment with a broad black belt and black box in front. A dim glow envelops him, giving him a blue color. The other boys see it too. They begin to run toward the creature, but it disappears in a puff of smoke. The little man appears in a different spot, and the boys start running there, but again he disappears. As the vanishing act repeats again, the boys hear a deep-toned sound emanating from two spots nearby. At that point the school bell sounds, and the boys rush off to class. Miss Newcomb, the school headmistress, interviews the boys and collects their written reports in a scrapbook (now lost).

Event 27674 (83591E46)

Date: 1/28/1967
Description: By this date things were more or less back to normal at the Kushner household in Pittsfield, Pennsylvania following a frightening close encounter experience with a brilliant pink triangular UFO three nights earlier (on January 25th). However, shortly after dinner two strange men arrived at the door. They identified themselves as military investigators and flashed what appeared to be USAF identification. Mrs. Kushner described the ID card as having black printing on a durable white stock. Both men wore tan trench coats which they kept buttoned from knee to collar. The taller of the two, who did all the talking, was described as thin and deeply tanned, and having blond hair and green eyes. The other gentleman was heavy set with dark hair, piercing blue eyes and was also deeply tanned. The men were polite but very insistent about one thing: they wanted every shred of information about the girl’s experience. Neither parent could explain why they allowed their children to be so intensely grilled by these “government agents.” The men moved about the house with apparently total knowledge of the contents of the rooms, the placement of furniture and other objects. Their clothing looked as if it had been newly purchased and the bottoms of their shoes were unscuffed. When the mystery men left they backed their vehicle out onto the roadway, turned off their headlights, and powered away down the road. At one point one man was seen writing strange symbols in vertical columns, starting from the left, going down one column, up the next, and down the third. This was in a small booklet.

Event 27675 (8A4375EB)

Date: 1/29/1967
Description: At around 10:00 p.m. Mrs. Enid Campbell saw from her window in her home near Knox City, Missouri what at first looked like the full moon, but as it got closer she could see that it was a Saturn-shaped object, with the main body white in color like a frosted light bulb and a shiny gold horizontal ring around the center which had numerous round holes. The object came up to within several feet of her window before stopping, and through its semi-transparent material she could see a control panel with a lever on top, and two occupants, one seated at the panel, the other standing. They wore “shiny, silvery wetsuits.” She called her sons Gene, age 18, and George, age 14, who came to the window in time to see the object as it rose and moved away. While it hovered nearby two smaller white luminous spheres approached and entered the craft through an opening, after which the holes in the central ring jetted out red fire. Then the object ascended vertically and disappeared. The snow on the ground under the spot where it had been hovering was melted, and the ground over which the object first approached the house failed to grow plants, while plants elsewhere grew normally.

They are able to remain stationary in the atmosphere or shoot along at 100,000 kilometers per hour. They move without producing the slightest sound, by creating around themselves a pneumatic vacuum that protects them from burning up in our stratosphere. Their craft have the mysterious capacity to vanish and reappear at will. Besides, they are able to affect our power resources, putting to a halt our electricity-generating plants, our radio stations, and our engines, without, however, leaving any permanent damage. So refined a technology can only be the fruit of an intelligence that is indeed far superior to ours.” The article is regarded in the West as the first-ever evidence that the Soviets are aware of UFO phenomena too.

Description: 6:30 p.m. Capt. Oswaldo Sanvitti is flying a Faucett Perú DC-4 airliner from Chiclayo to Lima, Peru, when the crew and passengers notice a bright light coming toward them from the west. Sanvitti estimates it is about 9 miles away, but it soon reaches the aircraft and hovers above it. The cabin lights dim, the plane’s compass fluctuates, and the radio gives off static. The UFO speeds away to the east, increasing its luminosity by 50%, but reappears 5 minutes later with another object. Both UFOs trail the aircraft until 5 minutes before it lands at Jorge Chávez International Airport in Callao.

Event 27715 (F9CB9D1A)

Date: 2/5/1967
Location: FRANCE, Sauvigny-les-Blois (Sauvigny le Bois?) (Yonne)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 9:45 PM, Mr. Monin was closing the gate to his property as he did every night. When he turned around, he saw a light without a visible source in front of him. The light was sweeping the horizon above the cemetery (60 meters away from him) and it was yellow. The light was coming in a straight line from the cemetery and was increasing in intensity: it was dazzling like a neon bar. The cemetery was lit up as if it were daytime. The witness then called his wife and 17-year-old granddaughter. They were all three on the porch looking. His wife was scared and almost immediately went back inside. As it approached, the object took shape: it was a cigar-shaped object, and no sound was heard. It stopped 35 meters away from the witnesses, directly above the garden. It began to swing in a pendulum motion, and the light was now reddish. No structure was visible. After swinging, the craft descended quickly in a vertical motion. As soon as it touched down, it emitted flames at each end. The right one was yellow and the left one was red. The right one gave off a blowtorch effect. The center of the object was red. On the right side, it sounded like burning brush, with crackling. The light was still blinding, and the object was about 20 meters long and 6-7 meters high. “Then, almost at the same time that we saw the flames appear, we noticed a being, a dwarf, no taller than 1 meter 10 or 1 meter 20. My granddaughter immediately went back inside and I followed her. I asked my wife to come out and see what was happening, but when I went back out I only saw a big red ball taking off. I only saw the little man for 2 or 3 seconds: he was quite big, as if he was wearing a suit. I can’t say if he had arms and legs, because in that short time he didn’t move.” (L.D.L.N. “Mystérieuses Soucoupes Volantes” - ALBATROS-ETAPES 1973 - p. 54 to 57) Mr. and Mrs. Monin and their granddaughter experienced a fairly typical third kind encounter. An object shaped like a cigar lit up the environment, silently approached 25 meters away from the witnesses, oscillated and touched the ground. A dwarf in a suit came out. Then, back in their house, they saw a red ball form, take off, and move away in the sky. No trace was left.

Location: Hilliard, Ohio
Description: Evening. A young man in Hilliard, Ohio, hears a strange noise and a barking dog. He looks up and sees an object approaching at a low altitude over a road shoulder. It lands on three legs in a field. The object is egg- shaped and about 75 feet long and 45 feet high. An “elevator-like” shaft opens and beings emerge carrying small, circular balls that they place on the ground around the UFO. The human-like creatures appear to be waiting for something. Then a man approaches from across the field and talks to them, apparently by telepathy. The witness accidentally steps on a twig, and the beings hear it. One runs toward him and catches him by the back of the neck, leaving a burned wound. Another being comes and both drag him toward the object. As they get close, the beings look at each other, seemingly panic-stricken. They drop the witness, collect the balls, and run inside the UFO, which takes off.

The UFO had a rotating pattern of lights and came down to 30 feet over some railroad tracks, then landed near a school. It made a steady humming sound. From an elevator-like shaft came five or six tall, human-looking figures wearing black robes, who placed small spheres around the craft. A man walked up to them and appeared to speak with the entities. The teen was then noticed and the man ran after him, catching him by the back of the neck and causing burn marks. The man next dragged Timothy almost to the craft when his captors suddenly became panic-stricken, dropped him, hurriedly gathered up the spheres, and reboarded the craft, which took off rapidly.

Description: At 9:45 p.m. M. Louis Monin, age 49, was outside his house in Sauvigny-les-Bois, L’Yonne, France when he saw an intensely yellow luminous ovoid object coming at very low altitude over a nearby cemetery. He called his 17-year-old granddaughter Marie Solange to watch it. The fat cigar-shaped object approached, then oscillated and turned red-orange, and finally landed in Monin’s garden, 110 feet away from them. It was about 60 feet long and 20 feet high. At each end of the cigar was a jet of “flames,” directed obliquely downward, and a crackling noise could be heard. Next, a stout little man, 3.5-4.0 feet tall, appeared standing beside the object. Monin and his granddaughter immediately went back into the house to call his wife, but when the three of them came out again the little man was gone and the UFO now appeared as a red-luminous ball about 25 feet in diameter. This ball took off and was soon lost from view. The observation lasted five minutes, and no landing traces were found in the garden.

Event 27776 (2FB918E6)

Date: 2/10/1967
Description: At 5:30 that same evening a dark, triangular shaped UFO flew blunt-end forward over North Woodstock, Connecticut and hovered over a farm. The object had a white light in each corner, and was quiet when hovering, but made a roaring sound when it moved off. Television interference was also reported during the sighting. At the same time in nearby Worcester, Massachusetts a UFO with three bright lights hovered over a house. The refrigerator contents reportedly froze, and the color TV set in the house had the color fade out of the picture during the encounter. After five minutes the UFO flew south, stopped briefly, and then sped away. Ninety minutes later two UFOs were seen circling low over a house in Mahopec, Putnam County, New York. Six human-appearing occupants were seen on board the craft, and one of them appeared to wave at the two witnesses, who drove their car following the UFO. Reportedly one of the witnesses received a telepathic message from the occupants.
