The lights are attached to an object that emits a light beam from its bottom center that moves around and illuminates the desert. The lights disappear, but a few minutes later the UFO reappears from behind a hill a mile away, followed by two white lights flying in step formation, one of which lands or nearly lands. The remaining light merges with the large object.

Event 27844 (C3076AA7)

Date: 2/16/1967
Description: Raymond Wettling said that in the early morning hours a 180 foot long, cigar-shaped UFO landed in a field beside Interstate 70 near St. Louis, Missouri. Three silver-suited occupants emerged from the craft and invited him aboard for breakfast. He said he spent a pleasant hour and 45 minutes chatting with them inside their craft, over coffee. His hosts showed him through the craft’s two rooms. One was lit up with bright red lights, the other looked like a modern office. After he left the ship, it took off straight up at a high rate of speed. No one else reported seeing it, but there was another UFO landing that evening near Weston, Missouri (see below).

There, Satura Ra was waiting for them with another car. They went into the mountains, and in a completely isolated place, a saucer came to pick them up. On Itibi Ra, they had moved their Moon (Caxa Xixan) and the people were very philosophical, devoted to Cosmophilosophy, called Amat Mayna. They lived very close to nature, nature identified with God. Pallmann visited the colony and the Dschungel plantations. After two days Pallmann was brought back to Earth, to a train station in Peru, and returned to Lima [note from vog: what does he do with his car that is in Huancayo???] (February 17, 1967)

Event 27857 (74F9DF7C)

Date: 2/17/1967
Alternate date: 2/18/1967
Locations: Ware Road; Old Warren Road; Flynt Street; Palmer, Massachusetts; New Jersey
Description: Around 10:00 p.m. Contactee Stella V. Lansing takes motion picture footage on a borrowed Keystone 8mm Capri camera of some yellow-orange lights on Ware Road near the junctions of Old Warren Road and Flynt Street in Palmer, Massachusetts. Suddenly a white light shoots upward in a zigzag motion and she is able to film some of its maneuvers. Subsequent frames seem to show low-contrast images of four human-like beings apparently conversing. Lansing is later studied by New Jersey psychiatrist Berthold E. Schwarz, who finds her repeat UFO sightings, further UFO films, and photographs showing superimposed clock-like patterns a subject of some interest.

Event 27863 (B49BE6A2)

Date: 2/19/1967
Location: USA, Wharton
Description: (Translated from French) Among the dozens of witnesses: K.R. Miller and his wife, and Frank Jones, editor of the “Journal”. Miller saw, from his car, a red light that was quickly approaching and losing altitude: he pulled his car to the side of the road. "The thing descended quickly, at the height of the telephone poles. It crossed the road in front of my car, 20 m away from us, just high enough to avoid the trees. It was an enormous circular craft that must have been 15 to 20 m in diameter. My wife and I had been able to see a row of lights of red, amber, blue and green colors, encircling the lower part of the craft. It had the shape of a bell, or a cup topped with a dome, we couldn’t tell exactly because of the dazzling light emitted by some kind of white beacon at its upper part. I then saw two similar lights in the distance and drove towards Lane City and called Frank Jones. Miller, who had served for 4 years in the Air Force, added: “These things didn’t look like anything I had seen. The one that passed over the road made no sound, no air turbulence, although its speed seemed to be around 120 km/h. I was able to see a large opening lit up at its upper part, above the craft’s rotating beacons”. (February 19, 1967)

Two 12-year-old boys in Bunkie, Louisiana saw two points of light with tails moving in spurts through the sky for about ten minutes at 1:30 a.m. At eleven o’clock in the morning, an engineer named Scott sighted a round, luminescent object the size of a dime at arm’s length flying in a “lazy, lackadaisical manner” for 40 seconds in Newburgh, New York. A resident of Topeka, Kansas noticed a wide top-shaped UFO with red and blue body lights at 7:05 p.m. local time. The sighting lasted three minutes, and he noted that there was electrical interference on his television at the time. Less than 15 minutes later, at 8:19 EST, a multicolored oval object with red and green lights and a bright white light in the middle, made a ninety degree turn in the sky and then shot out over a road in Grand Haven, Michigan. It stopped in place, then shot away at a speed that was too fast to follow with the eye. At 7:30 p.m. MST in Vernal, Utah a luminous orange dome-shaped object, blue-green and with occasional red flamelike lights on the underside, dipped low and then disappeared over a hill after more than 30 minutes. In Port McNeill, British Columbia at 7:30 p.m. PST four witnesses named Flick, Harrison, and Siemens watched a large, bright, oval-shaped UFO that was white on top and blue on the bottom. They viewed it through a 45x telescope for several minutes. It later changed color to a bright red as it went straight, left, right, and disappeared and reappeared several times. Finally, at nine p.m. MST a cigar-shaped object briefly hovered over a hospital in Edmonton, Alberta. It was white on top and red on the bottom, and made a sound like a siren.

Event 27978 (FA7D113E)

Date: 3/1967
Locations: Cuba; South America; Homestead AFB [now Homestead Air Reserve Base] in Miami–Dade County, Florida; Fort George G. Meade in Maryland
Description: Cuban air defense radar controllers report a UFO approaching Cuba from the northwest, moving at 660 mph at an altitude of 33,000 feet. Two MiG-21s are scrambled and are guided to within 3 miles of the object. The flight leader radios in that the UFO is a bright metallic sphere with no visible markings. He is unable to establish radio contact with it and Cuban air defense orders him to shoot it down. The flight leader reports that his radar is locked and missiles ready. Seconds later, a wingman screams into the radio that the flight leader’s MiG has disintegrated. The UFO then accelerates and climbs above 90,000 feet, heading towards South America. The US 6947th Security Squadron headquartered at Homestead AFB [now Homestead Air Reserve Base] in Miami–Dade County, Florida, is monitoring the incident and sends a report to the NSA at Fort George G. Meade in Maryland. NSA orders the squadron to ship all tapes and data to them and list the airplane loss as “equipment malfunction.” The details sound like it might be the CIA’s Oxcart A-12, the Air Force version of which is the SR-71, which are known to overfly Cuba.

Event 27993 (668A71C5)

Date: 3/1/1967
Description: DeWitt Baldwin was raccoon hunting at night in the woods near Eden, New York when he heard a noise like buzzing bees around 1:30 a.m. He flashed his flashlight on a gold colored, unlighted saucer-shaped object that had landed on the ground. A sliding door opened and a man emerged, dressed in a black, tight-fitting suit and wearing a helmet with goggles. He asked the witness some questions, such as what he was doing there at that hour and where he had been born. He then took Baldwin’s gun, looked at it and then handed it back. Baldwin claimed the humanoid broke the muzzle of the gun while examining it. Baldwin said, “He wasn’t white and he wasn’t black. He talked very plainly and with no accent. He had black curly hair.” He told me he would be back, walked up to the saucer, got in and seconds later zipped off out of sight. No footprints or landing imprints were found in the snow where the object had rested.

Event 28033 (C7379F42)

Date: 3/5/1967
Location: USA, Huntington (Ohio)
Description: (Translated from French) At the beginning of March 1965, likely the 5th, a Red Cross car was driving through towns to collect blood from volunteer donors, on Highway 2 near the Ohio River. Suddenly, a large, shining object descended above the vehicle and lowered two long tentacles, like arms, on either side of the car. The driver, 21-year-old Beau Shertzer, was extremely frightened and accelerated. But the object followed, and the arms seemed to want to grab the entire car. Fortunately, a number of vehicles came in the opposite direction. When they appeared, the craft retracted its tentacles and fled. An nurse was in the Shertzer car and she was extremely excited when they arrived in Huntington. (March 5, 1967)

Date: 3/5/1967
Location: Lövåsen, Vilhelmina, Sweden
Description: 1:25 a.m. Lenny and Tommy Söderström are returning home to their farm in Lövåsen, Vilhelmina, Sweden, when they notice a “spaceship” behind a barn. They rush inside and wake their parents and a sibling. Looking through the kitchen window, they see a dark, cigar-shaped object, 82–130 feet wide, silhouetted against the sky. Wobbling slightly on its axis, it hovers 24 feet in the air. After someone turns on the kitchen light, the UFO shoots off toward the north, emitting a whistling sound, as a smaller object appears from behind it. This UFO is a silvery globe about 20–40 feet in diameter; it turns and approaches the farmhouse. When it passes above a power line, it stops and hovers for 4 minutes. It takes off toward the northeast.

Event 28069 (3682B513)

Date: 3/7/1967
Locations: US Highway 20; Keeneyville, Illinois; Bartlett, Illinois
Description: 12:30 a.m. Lucille Drzonek and her daughters, ages 24 and 17, are driving northwest on US Highway 20 just past Keeneyville, Illinois. Their beagle is with them. They see a solid object, estimated at 15 feet in diameter, outlined in bright white lights and with two big beams in front. As it nears the ground it takes on a disc shape and begins flashing red and green lights. The beagle is so frightened that its hair stands up straight on its back. As they turn off the highway toward Bartlett, Illinois, the object descends into a woods, lighting the trees with a red glare. It projects two white light beams into the rear window of their car. As they pull into their home, the UFO is hovering about 10 feet above a tree in their yard. A strange, localized gray mist appears and when it dissipates the UFO is gone. The beagle is visibly upset for the next two days. A veterinarian suggests he might have heard a noise inaudible to humans.

Event 28070 (B57809B9)

Date: 3/7/1967
Description: A UFO pursued a car near Elgin, Illinois and then landed in some woods at 12:30 a.m. Something zoomed out of the UFO directly at the car, and then two white beams of light shone through the car’s back window. A dog in the car was badly frightened. The UFO, which was reportedly surrounded by a fog or mist, followed the car home. Ten minutes later in St. Joseph, Michigan a multi-colored UFO was reported hovering over Lake Michigan. It was observed through binoculars, and was described as about the size of a tangerine at arm’s length. It changed colors from red to green to white, and had what were described as police cruiser lights on its bottom. It made a sound like “a hot-rod” initially, which later changed to a swishing-crunching sound.

Event 28072 (5884324D)

Date: 3/8/1967
Location: USA, Leominster (Massachusetts)
Description: (Translated from French) RR2, around 01:05 - 2 witnesses, husband and wife, painter and hairdresser (William Wallace and his wife). As they drove along the cemetery which seemed to be covered in a blanket of fog, although the night was particularly clear. They suddenly noticed a light. Thinking that a fire was burning in the cemetery and that the fog was the smoke coming from it, they turned around and came back. Having done so, he lowered his windows and leaving the road, he drove along the cemetery towards the light which was just above. He got out of the car, closed the door (the window remained lowered, and raised his arm to point to the object. Several events happened simultaneously then: all the car lights, the radio and the engine stopped working, he felt an electric shock, felt numb and unable to move. The arm he had raised was suddenly thrown back against the roof of the car with such force that it was imprinted in the glass that covered it. Mr. W. could no longer move a muscle, yet he heard perfectly and his brain seemed to function normally. Then the radio and the car lights came back on while the object, which had not stopped swaying, suddenly climbed emitting a kind of buzzing and was lost above the blanket of fog.

Several events then occurred simultaneously: all the lights, the radio and the engine stopped working; he felt an electric shock, felt numb and unable to move, the arm he had raised fell back violently against the roof of the car, with such force that it was imprinted in the glass that covered it… Mr. W. could not move a muscle, yet he could perfectly hear and his brain seemed to function normally. Then the radio and the car lights came back on while the object, which had not stopped swaying, suddenly climbed emitting a kind of buzzing and was lost above the fog blanket. (March 8, 1:05 AM)

Event 28100 (4B2F6C57)

Date: 3/8/1967
Locations: Leominster, Massachusetts; St. Leo’s Cemetery
Description: 1:05 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. William L. Wallace are returning home to Leominster, Massachusetts, when they pass through a dense fog near St. Leo’s Cemetery and notice a bright light on the left. Wallace turns the car around and heads back for a closer look. The glow is from a light that is hovering 400–500 feet above the cemetery. Intrigued, Wallace places the car in neutral, pulls the emergency brake, and steps outside. As he points toward the light, something pulls his arm back and drops it on the roof of the car, which then stalls and the electrical system goes out. He remains immobile for more than 30 seconds even as his wife is trying to pull him back. As the lights and radio come back on, the UFO rocks back and forth, rises with a humming sound, and disappears. Wallace goes back into the car, which now starts normally. Wallace still feels “slow and sluggish” on the drive back, and he collides with the garage door as he pulls into his driveway. They return to the cemetery 10 minutes later, but the fog is gone.

Date: 3/8/1967
Description: Mr. and Mrs. Wallace were driving in Leominster, Massachusetts at 1:05 in the morning when they noticed an unusual light flying over a nearby cemetery. They drove closer to investigate and saw the UFO surrounded by a heavy fog or mist. They described the object as a bright bluish-white, glowing dome-shaped object that was hovering low to the ground with a rocking, pendulum motion. The rim of the object glowed as bright as an acetylene torch. The car’s engine, lights, and radio failed. Mr. Wallace got out of the car and felt his arm tugged by some force against the body of the car. He felt tingling electric shocks and felt paralyzed in close presence to the object. The UFO wobbled, hummed, and then shot up vertically into sky.

Event 28110 (FAEEA988)

Date: 3/9/1967
Description: (Translated from French) The men of Detachment A of the 6947th Security Squadron (charged with monitoring Cuban Air Force communications) based at Key West Naval Air Station in Boca Chica Key, about 150 km from Cuba, suddenly heard Cuban radar controllers report the approach, at 10,000 m altitude and Mach 1 (a little over 1050 km/h) of an unidentified aircraft from the northeast. Immediately, 2 MIG-21 fighters were sent to intercept the intruder. The 2 pilots soon discovered a shiny metal sphere devoid of any identification marks. After exhausting radio contact attempts, the Cuban Air Defense Headquarters ordered the mission leader to destroy the UFO. He then confirmed that the target was being tracked by his firing radar and that he had armed his missiles. These were his last words. A few seconds later, the other pilot began to scream into his microphone that the MIG-21 had exploded, or rather, he specified a moment later, had suddenly disintegrated without fire or smoke. The Americans of Boca Chica Key then heard the Cuban radar controllers announce that, following an incredible acceleration, the UFO had suddenly risen to nearly 30,000 m and had disappeared in the direction of South America. The NSA under the operational control of which the Air Force Security Service units are located then demanded that all documents related to the accident be sent to it within the hour and that it be immediately recorded in the surveillance unit’s archives as due to a mechanical malfunction. The case remained secret until 1978, when one of the witnesses of Boca Chica Key — whose anonymity is protected — revealed it to Stanton Friedman.

Date: 3/9/1967
Description: (Translated from French) A Red Cross car travelling through towns to collect blood from volunteer donors passes on Highway 2, near the Ohio River (USA). Suddenly, a kind of star quickly descends towards it and places itself just above the vehicle. It lowers two long tentacles, in the shape of arms, on each side of the car, even though the driver accelerates. The arms seem to want to grab the car. The machine finally retracts its arms, probably due to cars coming in the opposite direction. It then disappears into the sky at a prodigious speed.

Event 28145 (60B30419)

Date: 3/10/1967
Description: Two men were driving in a remote part of Piggott, Arkansas when their truck’s engine failed. Before they could get out of the vehicle to investigate they saw a 50-foot wide saucer shaped object descend to the ground in front of them. Two bizarre looking “aliens” emerged from the object and walked over to their truck. The humanoids were described as of average human height, but with large heads that were flat in the back, and gray in color. They had normal eyes, noses, and mouths. They also wore tight-fitting gray diver’s suits. The men felt like they were being bombarded with vibrations and had the uncanny feeling that the aliens knew what they were thinking. Rolling down the truck windows, the men spoke to one of the aliens, who reportedly told them that they meant them no harm and they could continue on their journey if they promised to keep this meeting a secret.

Description: Four boys, Bob & John Kangas, Mike Kauppi, and Scott Mackay, ages 9-12, were riding on a snowmobile in Palo, Minnesota at 2:15 p.m. when they saw a very bright light coming from an old abandoned hayshed, and a second beam of light about 100 yards away in an open field. Near the latter were 5 moving black “objects” about three to four feet high, arranged in a diamond formation with a fifth at the center. These “objects” or beings seemed to glide over the deep snow, then moved toward the beam of light and when they reached it, both the light and the “objects” faded out of sight. The boys headed for the nearest house, “visibly shaken, almost to the point of hysteria.” Two footprints of an unidentifiable shape were found later at the site.

Description: At 7:15 p.m. in McIntosh, South Dakota a single witness saw an object with red, green, and white lights. After he reported the incident, four young men went to the area to investigate. They saw four green lights hovering low over the road, but the engine of their car stalled as they approached. Because their car had stalled on a hill, they turned the car around and coasted downhill. The car re-started then, so they drove away without investigating further.

Event 28168 (F67C98AC)

Date: 3/12/1967
Description: Clyde L. Dwyer observed a large disc-shaped object from a window in his South Glenn Falls, New York home at 10:30 p.m. It was approximately 100 feet in diameter and hovered motionless 175-200 yards southeast of his home. Three large square windows were spaced around the midline of the object and just below these, jets of what appeared to be steam were emitted continually from a number of equidistant points around the object. Its dark mass was illuminated by a nearby street lamp. A white light shone from the windows, and two men and a woman could be seen in the central window, with two more men standing behind the window to the right. Although no distinguishing characteristics could be seen, “these figures were definitely of human appearance.” After hovering for about five minutes, the object gradually departed toward the southwest. No sound was heard at any time.

After stopping with the car lights off for a while, he sees two yellowish-white globes of light at 200 feet altitude, which start moving toward the car in a parallel course. The objects descend a quarter mile away, then shoot toward the witnesses at 70–80 mph. The daughter hears a “chorus of voices” in her head saying “don’t move” repeatedly. The man switches on the headlights, the lights disappear, and the voices stop. Moments later, 10 feet from the car, they see five figures standing in an irregular semicircle. The man gets into the car but the daughter continues staring at the figures, which have slits for eyes and mouths. All have long blond hair and are wearing something like baseball caps. They wear loose-fitting clothing. The witnesses drive away quickly and go to their minister’s home.

Date: 3/24/1967
Locations: Malmstrom AFB; Roy, Montana; Launch Control Center; SAC USAF 341st Strategic Missile Wing; Boeing’s Seattle plant
Description: Late evening. An airman with the Malmstrom AFB Oscar-Flight Launch Control Center for the SAC USAF 341st Strategic Missile Wing south of Roy, Montana, sees a star-like object zigzagging high above him. Soon, a larger and closer light appears and behaves similarly. He calls his NCO and the two men watch as the lights streak through the sky, maneuvering in impossible ways. The NCO phones his commander, 1Lt. Robert Salas, who is below ground in the LCC. Salas is dubious and tells them to let him know if they get any closer. A few minutes later the NCO calls him again and shouts that a red, glowing UFO is hovering outside the front gate. Salas tells him to make sure the site is secure while he phones the command post. Meanwhile, one of the guards is injured when he approaches the UFO and has to be evacuated by helicopter. As Salas briefs Lt. Fred Meiwald, an alarm rings through the small LCC and both men see a “no-go” light turn on for one of the missiles. Within seconds, 4– 7 more Minutemen nuclear ICBMs go offline in succession.

Description: The Bailey and Lore families had observed UFOs in the area of their homes in Minitare, Nebraska on several occasions. On the evening of March 26 at around 7:30 p.m., Robert Lore and Cecil Bailey drove north of their farms to look for lights that looked like they had landed on an isolated section of farmland. The two men drove past a man in white coveralls standing alone by the side of the road. Their dog was riding in the car, and it “really kicked up a fuss” and appeared to be terrified. When the men got home the lights were once more visible in the sky. One particular bright light was strong enough to light up the hill behind it. When they returned to the site where they had seen the stranger the next day, they found numerous nearly rectangular footprints, some of them 9.75 inches long and others 8.5 incheslong.

The sky was starry, and the wind was nil. “I was coming out of my house. I saw this craft moving towards the northwest. Once it arrived above the Jura, it stopped for 3 or 4 seconds, then it went towards Geneva for 15 seconds; it went in reverse, it stopped in the same place as the first time; it continued its route in the opposite direction to Geneva, then it returned to its stopping point. Then it returned towards the southeast for 15 seconds, then it went towards the Jura behind which it disappeared. The object seemed to turn on itself. It had a small notch on each side (above and below).”

The Cruzeiro plane follows the UFO for 15 minutes before it disappears.

Event 28305 (1C28EC2B)

Date: 3/28/1967 (approximate)
Location: USA, Munroe Falls (Ohio)
Description: (Translated from French) David Moran (Morris?), in a car, was returning home from work when he saw a glow from the other side of the hill. He arrived at the crest around 2:20am and saw the outline of an object shaped like a cone at 25 or 30 yards, to the left in a field. It appeared as a triangle 7 to 8 meters high and 3 to 4 meters wide. At the top there was a ball. His curiosity turned to horror when he saw five creatures running quickly towards him on the road. He put his foot down and in the beams of his headlights he saw that the creatures were luminous, red-orange, like the object in the field. He couldn’t stop in time, heard a thud, and hit one of the creatures. He didn’t dare stop, but looking in the rearview mirror, he saw nothing on the road (nothing lying down) behind him, except the whole group, running in a disordered way. (APRG, on the Internet in May 1997) It could be 13 meters high and its base must be 7 meters. It is cone-shaped and glowing red. (1967, March 28 (or 30?))

Event 28308 (BA6E6B9E)

Locations: Munroe Falls, Ohio; Kent
Description: 2:25 a.m. Electrical worker David Morris, 20, is driving home to Munroe Falls, Ohio, from nearby Kent when he sees a glowing red-orange object shaped like an inverted cone hovering just above the ground. The object is about 12 feet wide at the base and 25 feet high, with a ball-shaped object at its top. Looking at the road ahead, Morris sees four or five large-headed humanoids moving rapidly back and forth about 50 feet ahead. He slams on his brakes, but it is too late. He feels a thump against the right front corner of his car and sees an arm with a thumbless mitten fly up, then down. The car stops 10 feet later; Morris thinks about providing assistance, but the otherworldliness of the situation causes him to get away quickly. In his rearview mirror he sees a group of the entities position themselves around something lying on the ground. In the morning, Morris finds three dents in the front bumper and right headlight ring of his car.

Event 28309 (0F305421)

Date: 3/28/1967
Location: Colorado
Description: A second briefing for Robert Low by NORAD analysts effectively diverts researcher attention away from NORAD’s 500 defense radars and onto its useless handful of space defense satellite-tracking radars and cameras (referred to as “spacetrack” and are the least likely to detect UFOs). Low tries to find out if NORAD can help with identifying satellites that might be misreported as UFOs and whether NORAD can’t track a UFO entering the atmosphere from outer space (or just aren’t), but the analysts are evasive. NORAD says its satellite-tracking radars (with non-ballistic maneuvering and erratic flight paths) actually can “see” UFOs, but no one will ever know because the data that does not fit satellite or ballistic trajectories are thrown out automatically by system computers. No mention is made of NORAD’s high priority for not ignoring unpredictable, UFO-like maneuverable cruise missiles or hypersonic space planes. This discussion is distributed as a briefing paper to all Colorado project members on June 6, including Condon.

Description: (Translated from French) Elis Grahn was walking in the forest at night and glanced up at the clear, beautifully starry sky. Motionless and silent, a few hundred meters above the treetops, there was a luminous disc about three times the size of a full moon, deep green and red inside. Boys from the village arrived and were also witnesses. Soon the thing began to rotate on its axis, becoming uniformly greenish-white. Grahn ran to get binoculars and returned with his wife. The disc had moved a bit and was still shining, although its outlines were less clear. Then he soon noticed that near the edges he could see the stars through the object, while the center remained opaque. The strange disc then began to slowly disappear, maintaining the same position. It lost its consistency after a few minutes, and everything had disappeared. Independently, a couple of motorists had seen the disc vanish with the same vaporous aspect. (April 1967)

Date: 4/2/1967
Description: Late on this night in Medina, New York Miss Shane Kurz, who had been observing UFOs maneuvering in the skies for the past several nights, had gone to bed after seeing another one. She suddenly felt paralyzed, and then lost track of time. She remembers a bright light outside her window and a loud humming sound. Her next memory is waking up with her foot covered with mud, her eyes swollen shut, and a triangular shaped burn mark on her abdomen. Later under hypnosis, she remembered being somehow taken into an ovoid metallic gray craft with lights around a revolving rim. She found herself inside an octagon-shaped room with lights that seemed to emanate from all around her. She was then placed on a black slab like table and was unable to move. Later she saw a being with an oval-shaped face, very light skin, and large black almond shaped eyes. The being communicated with her, apparently by using telepathy, and told her she would not be harmed.

Event 28356 (CC618DA6)

Date: 4/4/1967
Description: (Translated from French) CADILLAC (AP) - Police reported a rush of sightings of unidentified flying objects in a three-county area in northwest Michigan Friday night. A Cadillac police officer and others reported the sightings to Traverse City in Grand Traverse County, Reed City in Osceola County and Cadillac in Wexford County. Cadillac is roughly halfway between Traverse City and Reed City, a distance of about 100 miles. The reports came three days after similar reports in Grand Haven on Lake Michigan and hours after a Northwestern University investigator left Michigan after examining the Grand Haven reports. “I saw something, but I don’t know what it was,” said Cadillac patrolman Harry Hagstrom. Hagstrom said the object was bright white and appeared in a clear sky over Lake Cadillac. He said two other police officers verified the sighting. “It seemed to change directions,” Hagstrom said. “Up, down, left, right and then it stayed stationary for a moment. It was bright white the first time I saw it, but the color faded to a duller white, then red, then green. It was a very clear night and all the stars were bright,” he added, “But I’m sure it wasn’t a star. Other than that, I don’t know what it was.” William T. Powers, a member of Dr. J. Allen Hynek’s team at Northwestern University, Evanston (Illinois), was in Grand Haven most of Friday investigating the Grand Haven sightings. Dr. Hynek was commissioned by the Air Force to conduct an independent investigation of such sightings. (April 4)

Event 28374 (66168A0B)

Date: 4/5/1967
Locations: State Highway 72; Lickdale, Pennsylvania
Description: 7:45 p.m. Justice of the Peace John H. Demler is driving north on State Highway 72 just south of Lickdale, Pennsylvania, when his car’s engine sputters and stops and the lights go out. He sees an object approaching about 20 feet above the road. It is about 30 feet across and looks like “it had lights in back of a painted black glass.” It flies over the car as Demler lowers his window and he notices a smell of sulfur and oil. It emit a sound like an electric motor, which grows louder as it leaves the area. The UFO shoots off sparks similar to that of “grinding on an emory wheel.” The UFO comes to a stop alongside the car, tilts, starts off slowly, then puts on such a terrific burst of speed that Demler and his automobile seem to be pulled to it. The car settles down so fast that he is moved all the way across the front seat. When he looks up again, the object has “turned to a bluish tinge” and is far in the distance. The next day, the skin on his hands and feet begin to peel and Demler is a nervous wreck. His coworkers confirm he is in a state of physical or psychological shock for many hours.

Description: Two young boys saw a dark gray object overhead at sunset in Sjaellands, Denmark. One ran home while the other hid in a ditch. The UFO descended and put out three legs as if to land, but then retraced them and moved out over the Kattegat. As it passed over the shore it threw out some “boxes.” Hovering low over the water, the object lowered a box on an arm-thick cable, and eight small humanoid figures emerged from the large object and descended on the cable. They were the same size as the boy and all but one wore striped suits and had scuba like packs on their backs. The eighth UFOnaut wore a blue uniform and had no pack. They all had on striped caps and lights on their shoulders, and carried objects that looked like binoculars or cameras. They waved to the boy before the object disappeared. A lump of strange material was later found on the shore. When it was analyzed it was found to be an unprecedented mixture of substances.

Description: At 9:00 p.m. a motorist driving near Melville, New York saw a glowing object overhead. Suddenly his car engine stalled and a smaller circular metallic object landed besides the road. His car radio, which had been turned off, began broadcasting in a strange language. A tiny metallic robot-like figure appeared in the doorway of the object. It came out and dug up some dirt and then placed it inside the craft. The doorway then closed and the object turned a bright red color as it rose into the sky, emitting a whirring sound. It appeared to join the large glowing craft overhead.

Date: 4/17/1967
Location: USA, Jefferson City (Missouri)
Description: (Translated from French) RR1 9:00 PM - 4 witnesses: duration 10 to 15 minutes. "I was on my way home from a Parent-Teacher Association meeting; it was night and I was driving through the countryside on a small road, thinking about the blackboard the association had promised to provide for the school. Suddenly I noticed a light above the hill and I thought, there’s one of those old planes that has gone off course and is going to land in that cornfield. (…) And then this incredible object - which had a bit of the shape of a World War I helmet - passed over the hill. So I slowed down. I couldn’t understand how an airplane could follow a gliding trajectory - when this huge object, which I estimate was over 90 meters long, detached itself from the hill and stayed above me for a fraction of a second, like an aircraft changing direction. Then it headed for the airfield. It was a terribly bright light. The roof of the car didn’t even seem to be a screen anymore. When I looked at my friends, it was like an X-ray photo. "So I went to the airfield. Oh, I didn’t have to say anything to the people on the ground. They had seen it. Two lawyers from Kansas City were still standing there, their mouths wide open in amazement. It had practically flown over the airfield. The unglazed control tower had not yet been warned. They were busy with the arrival of an Ozark. The Ozark pilot said when announcing his landing: “I see it, it’s below me, it’s huge”. (April 17, 1967)

Suddenly I noticed a light above the hill — and I thought, hey, that’s one of those old planes (a C-47) that has gone off course and is going to land in that cornfield (…). And then this incredible object - which had a bit of the shape of a WWI helmet — went over the hill… So I slowed down… I couldn’t understand how an airplane could follow a gliding trajectory — when this huge object, which I estimate was over 90 m, detached itself from the hill and stayed above me for a fraction of a second like an aircraft changing course; then it headed towards the airport… It was a terribly strong light. The roof of the car didn’t even seem to be a shield. It’s incredible, a light so intense. When I looked at my hands, it was like an X-ray photo. Several teachers will witness the event.

Description: At 3:30 a.m., near Estacion Casalegno in Santa Fe, Argentina the conductor of a train, Enrique R. Galimberti and another crew member saw what appeared to be bright multi-colored lights about 120 meters away from the tracks. Thinking it was a fire, Galimberti stopped the train and both men attempted to approach the scene, armed with fire extinguishers. When they got close to the area they saw the multicolored lights moving around in a circular motion, and then both observed a square metallic object over three meters in width behind the lights. It had several lighted windows around its edge. At the front the UFO had what appeared to be a “rotating wheel” that emitted multicolored light flashes. Several short humanoid beings were seen walking around the object. They wore silvery gray shiny uniforms, appeared to be bareheaded, and carried what resembled “rifles” or weapons on their shoulders. The witnesses used the train horn to check for a reaction from the creatures but there was none. Another railway employee, Salvador Pomidoro, reported seeing the same square metallic object on the ground about 15 minutes earlier.

According to the driver, the accelerator no longer responded when the object approached, the engine slowed down and began to cough as if there was no more juice. At the moment when the distance between them and the object seemed the shortest, the latter no longer shone but appeared clearly and distinctly defined, lenticular in shape and of a muted amber color, like the yellow of flashing lights but more attenuated. (…) Object: ovoid, with objects embedded on the entire surface like car headlights, each sending a beam of white light, so that the device seemed bristling with rays of light diffusing in all directions. Then it had the appearance of an ovoid object of amber color. (April 21, 1967)

Event 28488 (E27765B8)

Date: 4/21/1967
Location: USA, South Hill (Virginia)
Description: (Translated from French) On April 21, Mr. Crowder had left the store of his company around 9 pm. When he reached a turn in the paved road, he discovered an obstacle that looked like an orange metal tank, at least 4 m in diameter, resting on legs about one meter high and without any openings or particular features. It was just an object resembling a tank that blocked the way. When he got to about 60 m from the thing, Crowder flashed his headlights. At that moment, in a brilliant blaze emitted from its base, the object rose quickly into the air. It had gone off like lightning, but Crowder had seen it in his headlights. It was 5 to 6 m high. The blazing breath from its base had set the asphalt on fire. When the police arrived at the scene with Crowder, they found a 90 x 75 cm plate still hot from the fire. The next morning, four holes about 18 mm deep and 12 mm wide were found in the asphalt, forming a rectangle about 5 m long.

Event 28510 (3FA0F58D)

Date: 4/21/1967
Locations: South Hill, Virginia; Northwestern University
Description: 8:55 p.m. Clifton N. Crowder, manager of the Mobil Chemical Company warehouse in South Hill, Virginia, leaves the warehouse and starts home. About 50–75 yards down a narrow asphalt highway his headlights fall on an object 400 feet away on the road ahead. It is pewter-colored, shaped like a storage tank, about 12 feet in diameter, and 15–16 feet high. It is standing on legs about 3–3.5 feet long. He switches to his bright lights and the object belches a white burst of flame from the bottom and ascends rapidly. Meanwhile, the road is on fire. After it dies out, Crowder drives to South Hill and contacts police. They return and find a kidney-shaped black spot on the road, about 3 feet wide at the widest point. William T. Powers, assistant to J. Allen Hynek of Northwestern University, arrives on the scene to examine the spot. Using kerosene, gasoline, and a blowtorch, he attempts to simulate the black spot, but has no luck. Where each leg of the machine rested he finds two spike holes, similar to those made by football cleats. They are about 6 inches apart, 7/8 inch in diameter, and about one inch deep. The four feet are about 11.5–12 feet apart and the diagonals are 16 feet 1 inch and 16 feet 6 inches, respectively. Powers concludes that the center of gravity is above the firepoint and notes that the intersections of the diagonals deviate 2 degrees from 90°.

Date: 4/21/1967
Description: Driving near a dam 10 miles south of Ephrata, Washington two couples had a close encounter with a UFO on the road at 1:30 a.m. They braked to avoid collision with the object and stopped 10 feet away. When the UFO took off, it went behind their car, and paced them for five minutes. The engine of the car missed when it was passed on left by the oncoming white and yellow-orange blinking lights of the craft. The witnesses were badly shaken by the incident.

While Mrs. Scott and the children waited in the car, Mr. Scott and the officer searched the wooded area and became separated. The deputy found nothing, but the witness came upon the craft resting on small legs in a marshy area. Standing next to it was a medium sized man. He called out “hello” but got no response; he then repeated the greeting and this time received a mental warning, “Get away from here!” He turned and fled to his car, badly frightened and in an agitated state. When he returned home he told his wife about his encounter.

Rolando Cubela Secades of the Cuban military in plans to assassinate Castro. The operation is known as Project AMLASH. After receiving the report, Helms orally briefs the President about its contents. According to his testimony before the Select Committee, when asked if he has told the President “that efforts to assassinate Fidel Castro had continued into Johnsonʼs presidency, Helms replied, ‘I just can’t answer that, I just don’t know. I can’t recall having done so.’”

Date: 4/28/1967
Location: Brixham, Devon, England
Description: 11:30 a.m. Brian F. Jenkins and seven other coast guards at Brixham, Devon, England, watch a huge, cone- shaped object through 25x binoculars mounted on a tripod. The object is hovering at 15,000 feet and seems to be revolving. Jenkins says the cone is pointing down, and the object seems made of glass or highly polished metal: “Near the bottom there was a triangular-shaped opening or door with a white rim on the top that reflected a lot of sunlight. The bottom was crinkled, very white, and seemed to consist of strips of metal hanging down.” It drifts to the northwest, rising to 22,000 feet and 8 miles away. At 12:40 p.m., a jet aircraft approaches it, flies above it, passes it, turns, and approaches it from below before it disappears from sight. Possible balloon.

Event 28574 (B114E919)

Date: 5/1967
Locations: Vietnam; South Vietnamese
Description: The CIA launches the Phoenix Program in Vietnam to gather information on the Viet Cong, whose members would then be neutralized (captured, converted, or killed). Emphasis for the enforcement of the operation is placed on local government militia and police forces, rather than the military. Heavy-handed operations—such as random cordons and searches, large-scale and lengthy detentions of innocent civilians, excessive use of firepower, torture, and targeted killings—have a negative effect on the civilian population. Between 1968 and 1972, Phoenix “neutralizes” 81,740 people (26,369 are killed) suspected of belonging to the National Liberation Front. The reported torture is carried out by South Vietnamese forces with the CIA and special forces playing a supervisory role.

Description: A man identifying himself as Maj. Richard French visits a woman in Owatonna, Minnesota, who has had a UFO encounter the previous November. He is 5 feet 9 inches with an olive complexion and hair too long for an Air Force officer. He is wearing a fashionable gray suit, white shirt, and black tie. At one point, French complains of stomach problems, and the woman recommends Jell-O. He says he will return if the symptoms persist, so he shows up the following morning. The woman sits him down with a bowl of Jell-O, which he tries to drink. “I had to show him how to eat it with a spoon,” the woman tells John A. Keel.

Description: 12:30–3:15 p.m. During a reconnaissance exercise in Madagascar, a detachment of 23 officers and men serving with the French Foreign Legion watch a bright object landing in a “falling leaf” motion. When it touches down on tripod legs, the glow dissipates. The egg-shaped craft is 23–26 feet high and has no visible markings except for openings at the base through which flames are visible. The witnesses seem paralyzed or at least extremely distracted while the UFO is on the ground. When they recover their senses, they find that 2.75 hours have elapsed. For 2 days afterward, they all have violent headaches, a buzzing in their ears, and a throbbing in their temples.

Event 28585 (2768CA6D)

Date: 5/1/1967
Description: At 10 p.m. nine witnesses in Simoca, Tucuman province, Argentina, returning from a hunting expedition, were riding on a trailer being pulled by a tractor when they observed a very bright object in the sky that they first thought was the moon. The object emitted an intense orange-reddish light and approached rapidly at high speed. It briefly moved away, but returned when one of the men signaled at it with a flashlight. It then hovered over the tractor, swinging back and forth like a pendulum. It was a domed disc, shaped like to plates put together with a crystal-like dome on top. Around its edge they could see several square window-like openings, from which a bluish light emanated. They also saw the figure of a man come out of one of the windows, who then moved up to the dome and then climbed back down to the window and entered. Finally the UFO moved away, gaining altitude and disappearing at high speed.

Event 28600 (A06F4388)

Date: 5/6/1967
Location: FRANCE, Champ du Feu (Schirmeck-Strassbourg)
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. and Mrs. Schirrmann, their son Jean-Luc (10 years old), and his friend Philippe Wassmer (11 years old) came to spend the weekend in the chalet at Champ du Feu. It was 7 pm, the occupants had finished dinner and were going out to the terrace to admire the sunset. The sky was very clear, without any clouds. Suddenly, a row of 7 or 8 well-aligned and equidistant objects appeared in the west-northwest, at a distance of about 2 km. Each object consisted of a dark part surrounded by a halo like a smoke ring. The objects seemed to be a few tens of meters above the woods and, since the terrain sloped in the direction of observation, their altitude was roughly the same as that of the witnesses (1000 m). In the minutes that followed their appearance, the objects slowly glided south towards the hamlet of Bellefosse. Suddenly they disappeared in place, then reappeared a little further south, dispersed and simultaneously ceased to be visible. To the west, where the objects had disappeared, the forest was all red as if on fire, although the sun had already set. Dozens of red spots were gently oscillating above the forest. Observed through binoculars, the trembling spots had shapes that evoked tomatoes or boxing gloves. It was past 8 pm, night was falling. The red spots also disappeared. Shortly after 9 pm, the four witnesses saw an enormous black object - or appearing black - in the shape of a lens with a diameter of 15 to 20 m, coming from the south, about a hundred meters from the chalet. In total silence, the saucer slowly approached the chalet. It was horizontal and a little higher than the witnesses, who could barely distinguish the underside. The saucer was now only 20 or 30 m from the chalet. Suddenly, a white-yellowish luminous ribbon appeared under the object. It seemed to end with a bulge and was animated by a movement that evoked a snake for Mr. Schirrmann and an octopus tentacle for Jean-Luc. After about ten seconds, the snake disappeared or went out. Mrs. Schirrmann left the terrace to go to the south-west facing kitchen, turned on the light and opened the window with the intention of closing the shutters, perhaps pushed by an instinctive desire to put something between the object and the witnesses. Yet, neither she nor her husband or the children were seized by panic. Suddenly, a luminous rod shot out from under the saucer, Mrs. Schirrmann screamed and called her husband, who joined her at the kitchen window, followed by the children. The saucer was there, motionless, a few meters from the chalet and at the height of the roof. A shiver ran through the Strasbourgers when a click or a slight sound was heard. Two luminous rods had joined the first. They were parallel to it, but while the first was whitish blue, the other two were greenish purple. Their sections were also different: the first rod was as thick as the thumb, the other two were finer like the little finger. These rods ended about 1 m from the ground. All three seemed to be in a non-vertical plane and were a few tens of centimeters apart. According to Mr. Schirrmann, the ends of the rods were cut off neatly like a sausage. Another curious luminous phenomenon is to be noted: on the ground, a white luminous band follows the shape of three sides of a trapezoid. This band is as wide as the hand. The three luminous rods point towards the inside of the trapezoid, whose two non-parallel sides end at the foot of the wall of the chalet. Perhaps the luminous band extended on the wall, perhaps it closed on itself? The witnesses did not lean out to observe the wall. The observation of these luminous phenomena lasted only about ten or fifteen seconds and everything disappeared or went out suddenly, with a sharp click. Mr. Schirrmann said: “I don’t like this, let’s go in!” and closed the window, then, driven by curiosity, returned to the terrace. The object slowly glided north, away from the house. The witnesses could then distinguish on its upper face, a greenish luminous cone. Suddenly, the object disappeared in place, still without any sound, while it was about a hundred meters from the chalet. It was a little after 10 pm, the witnesses went to bed.

Date: 5/6/1967
Description: A 24-year-old man named Campeadore was driving on the main highway 17 miles west of St. George, Utah at 12:43 a.m. when he heard a loud humming sound and stopped his car to investigate. He got out of his vehicle and saw a 40-foot wide, amber colored domed disc hovering only 20-30 feet over his head. He took out his pistol and fired a complete clip of bullets at the object. He reported that he heard the bullets ricochet off. He also suffered some physiological after effects as the result of his close encounter.

Event 28613 (61706BC1)

Date: 5/6/1967
Description: Raymond Schirrmann, his wife, and two children of Schirmeck, Bas-Rhine department, France first sighted seven or eight black, lenticular objects at 7:00 p.m. over a grove of trees at an estimated distance of two kilometers. They were aligned in a straight, diagonal line in the sky, and each was surrounded by a halo of smoke. At 9:00 p.m. a large lens-shaped object, 15-20 meters in diameter, was seen close to the ground near their chalet only 25 meters away. A coherent beam of light snaked away from the object, ending in midair. It detached, then retracted into the object. Following this some landing legs appeared. The event lasted three hours, and the UFOs were tracked by radar at a nearby military base.

The posterior faces of the object were glowing with a pink luminescence, like opalescence.

Date: 5/11/1967
Time: 0200
Location: Saint George, Utah
Description: Michael Campeadore, 25, a hospital employee, was driving to Salt Lake City when he heard a noise similar to that of a truck, but saw nothing. Then a yellow light became visible to the left, and thinking that it was a jet plane about to crash, he got out and saw it stop 30 m away at 30 m altitude. It was shaped like an inverted bowl with a dome on top and looked metallic. The witness became afraid and emptied his .25 Beretta in the direction of the craft. He heard the bullets hit metal and the object took off at great speed. When he told his story at a nearby service station, the attendant replied that about 20 reports had been made in the Saint George area recently.

Event 28659 (5382107A)

Date: 5/13/1967
Location: USA, Colorado Springs (Colorado)
Description: (Translated from French) Panic on the landing field of Colorado Springs. A UFO flew over the airfield at less than 60 meters altitude. Radars recorded its passage. Case studied by the Condon Commission (pages 310 to 316 of the “report”). Conclusions of the Condon investigators: This case certainly constitutes one of the most singular radar detections ever recorded, and no conclusion is possible. (Charles GARREAU: “Flying Saucers: 20 Years of Investigations” - Mame 1971 - p. 58) (…) nothing appeared to the direct view, while the screens denounced the rapid movement of a voluminous object. The operators were too trained to confuse an echo with a real object. The flight characteristics could be those of an F 100 or an F 104. From the airport tower, the flight controllers were still trying to see the mysterious object when a Braniff airline plane landed. Almost instantly, the mysterious object still invisible to the naked eye came to the right. Now, according to the radar, it was flying over the field at less than seventy meters. This is a normal procedure for an approach without an actual landing. The craft passed about 2500 meters from the tower, still invisible, even with binoculars.

After stopping the car and getting out, he notices a huge object, 45–50 feet in diameter, hovering 25–30 feet above him. He reaches into the car and gets a .25 caliber pistol, loads it, and fires point blank at the object. He hears the bullets hit and ricochet as they strike. Before he has finished the clip, the object begins moving off and disappears in seconds.

Description: 4:40 p.m. An object is picked up on radar at the Colorado Springs, Colorado, airport. A Braniff flight is coming in for a landing on runway 35. The track of the object behaves like a ghost echo, perhaps a ground return being reflected from the Braniff aircraft. The blip appears at about twice the range of the Braniff blip. When the Braniff airliner touches down, however, the situation changes radically. The UFO blip pulls to the right (east) and passes over the airport at an estimated height of about 200 feet. The object track passes within 1.5 miles of the control tower. The object is not visible even through binoculars by personnel in the control tower. The Colorado project finds this to be one of the most puzzling radar cases on record.

Event 28670 (1EC16405)

Date: 5/13/1967
Description: At the Colorado Springs, Colorado airport an unidentified flying object was picked up on radar at 4:40 a.m. MDT. During this time a Braniff flight was coming in for a landing, and the track of the object behaved like a ghost echo, perhaps a ground return being reflected off the Braniff aircraft. The radar blip appeared at about twice the range of the Braniff blip. When Braniff touched down, however, the situation changed radically. The UFO pulled to the east (right) and passed over the airport at an indicated height of 200 feet. The object passed within 1.5 miles of the control tower, but was not visible even through binoculars by personnel in the control tower. This case was written up in the Condon report, and it was stated there: This must remain as one of the most puzzling radar cases on record, and no conclusion is possible at this time. It seems inconceivable that an anomalous propagation echo would behave in the manner described, particularly with respect to the reported altitude changes, even if AP had been likely at the time. In view of the meteorological situation, it would seem that AP was rather unlikely.

Event 28679 (B6E4C836)

Date: 5/15/1967
Description: After attending an amateur astronomy club meeting, Benito Hamburgo Valenzuela returned to his home in La Paz, Baja California, Mexico at around 11:00 p.m. where he encountered a giant, nine foot tall man. The man had large blue eyes, red hair, and very large ears. He wore a tight fitting red coverall like garment with short sleeves, boots, and bracelets on both arms. On his chest he wore an insignia of white dots, and he wore a white cap on his head that looked nickel-plated. He also wore a wide belt, from which hung a small box with a small antenna. The collosus pulled up a large piece of wood and sat down on it. He greeted Hamburgo in slightly accented Spanish, and introduced himself as “Wirkle, Chief of the Guard.” He answered Benito’s questions, anticipating them before the witness actually spoke them. He said he was from a very distant “region” and that they were an advanced race, concerned about the misuse of atomic energy. When he left he refused to shake hands, explaining that contact with him would aggravate Benito’s cardiac condition.

Location: CANADA, Falcon Lake
Description: (Translated from French) At 12:15, Steve Michalak (deceased at the end of 2000), of Polish origin, aged 52, a mechanic and prospector, saw two glowing objects flying at high speed. One of them blew away the vegetation when it landed, surrounded by incandescence. Steve observed it for 30 minutes before a door opened, revealing a violet inner light. He also noted a shrill sound and a smell like that of an overloaded electrical circuit. Approaching, the witness heard voices. When he touched the craft his rubber glove burned. He was blown away by the hot air when the object began to spin. The witness felt dizzy, suffered minor burns on his face, second and third degree burns on his chest, had frequent vomiting for four days and lost more than 10 kg. Diameter of the craft: 11 m, height 3 m, with a superstructure of 1 m. (Henry DURRANT: “The UFO File” - Laffont 1973 - pp. 73-74) Stephen Michalak approaches a 10 m diameter disc that has just landed nearby while a second UFO disappears into the sky. The craft buzzes, emits a bright light and seems to cool down. Michalak takes a look inside and touches the wall of the object, but his glove is burned. A hot breath ignites his clothes and makes him spin, then the craft takes off and disappears in a few moments. The victim will be hospitalized for his burns and various ailments, perhaps due to radiation. (Science et Vie, special edition 1997: 50 years of UFO, Atlas of Unsolved Cases, pp. 60 to 63) A young man suffers first degree burns after encountering a UFO landed on the ground.

Event 28718 (212056B0)

Date: 5/20/1967
Locations: Falcon Lake, Manitoba; Misericordia Hospital in Winnipeg; Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota
Description: 12:15 p.m. Stefan Michalak is quartz prospecting near Falcon Lake, Manitoba, when he sees two red, glowing, cigar-shaped objects in the sky. One object begins to hover then move away, while the other lands on a large, flat rock 160 feet away. The landed object is more than 35 feet wide and 10 feet thick with a 3-foot high cupola. It goes through several color changes then appears like hot stainless steel with blinding purple-colored lights coming through slits in the cupola. It is making a whirring sound and warm air seems to be coming from it. Michalak sits and sketches the object for 30 minutes, then a small door opens on the side, revealing a lighted interior. Michalak walks to 60 feet away and hears voices inside. Thinking it is a US aircraft, he steps forward and shouts. “Okay, Yankee boys, having trouble? Come on out and we’ll see what we can do about it.” He says the same thing in five other languages. There is no response, so he puts green lenses over his glasses and looks inside, where he sees a series of flashing lights. He pulls his head back, noting that the wall is 18 inches thick. Almost immediately the opening closes. When his glove accidentally touches the surface, it burns and melts. The UFO angles upwards and he sees a 9-by-6 inch gridlike vent with a uniform pattern of small holes. A blast of hot gas erupts from the grid, searing his chest, sending him reeling backwards, and burning his shirt and undershirt. He rips the flaming clothing off just as the UFO ascends in a rush of air. It heads off to the west, the same direction the other UFO has gone. Michalak now has a headache and severe nausea, so he starts driving back to his motel. He eventually gets to Misericordia Hospital in Winnipeg and receives a sedative. His chest burn heals, but the gridlike burn lesions on his abdomen persist. The symptoms continue well into 1968, when Michalak visits the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, staying there 2 weeks and undergoing outpatient treatment. He relocates the landing site on June 30, 1967, and the RCAF visits it in July, noting a 15-foot circle of cleared vegetation on the flat rock. Michalak obtains metal samples of unknown provenance from the site in 1968.

Description: Polish-born Steve Michalac, age 52, an industrial mechanic and prospector, saw two red-glowing objects flying at high speed while prospecting at Falcon Lake, Manitoba, Canada. One of them landed nearby, and blew up vegetation as it landed. It was surrounded by a glow, and he watched it for 30 minutes before a door opened, revealing a purple glow inside. A high-pitched humming sound and an odor resembling a burning electrical circuit were noted. Seeing no further activity Mr. Michalac approached the landed craft, but he then heard voices, and when he touched the craft he burned his rubber-coated glove, and he was blown backwards by a hot blast of air. The object then started spinning. The witness felt dizzy, suffered minor face burns, and second and third degree burns on his chest. He vomited frequently for the next four days, and was hospitalized, losing over 10 kilograms. The landed craft was estimated to be 11 meters in diameter and three meters tall, with a one meter high superstructure.

A farm woman, who requests anonymity, was sitting on her front porch at 11:30 p.m. waiting for her husband to come home. She said she saw a brilliant red light with a smaller blue light beside it come toward her from the South. It illuminated the ground and appeared to land, whereupon she became frightened and went into the house. The next morning, she and her husband investigated the area where the object had apparently landed and found a semi circular area 90’ x 150’ in flames. The strange aspect of this case is that on the 15th of June, the area was still smouldering despite the fact that there had been considerable rain in the interim. Soil samples taken at the site yielded nothing.

He says that the Ummites (who have been supplying him with messages since 1965 describing in excruciating detail life on the planet Ummo, which revolves around a star 14.6 light years away) have given him a startling printed message predicting that a spacecraft will appear on the evening of June 1. The space people have supplied the exact geographical coordinates: the area of San José de Valderas, Madrid. All the Ummite messages, passed on to Sesma by his associates Enrique Villagrasa and Alicia Araujo, are usually postmarked in Madrid, but as time goes by, other postmarks indicate mailings from London, Germany, Austria, New Zealand, Yugoslavia, and Canada.

Description: (Translated from French) UMMO Affair. On May 20, 1967, the newspaper “Informaciones” of Alicante reported that between May 30 and June 2, a cosmic vessel would land in the vicinity of Madrid. The information came from a certain F. Sesma who claimed to have obtained it from an extraterrestrial friend. (A. SCHNEIDER-H. MALTHANER: “The Secret File of UFOs”, ed. De Vecchi, 1978, pp. 173-182) At 8:20 pm, about a hundred people (vog: really a hundred? I could only count about a dozen, at most…) saw an enormous, lenticular, disc-shaped object with a luminous dome on its upper part, near the top of the Estramadure road. The observation lasted 12 minutes, the object remained motionless, oscillating slightly. On its underside it bore the symbol “UMMO” - photographed. In Santa Monica it is said to have landed and left “tubes” inside which a “plastic” material was found. (June 1, 1967)

Event 28792 (BEAAB057)

Date: 6/1/1967
Locations: Aluche, Madrid, Spain; San José de Valderas
Description: The UFO seen by José Luis Jordán Peña in Aluche, Madrid, Spain, allegedly reappears in the neighborhood of San José de Valderas. This time, Jordán Peña plays UFO investigator, taking statements from witnesses who describe a low-flying disc-shaped object with the same strange symbol on the underside. An anonymous man takes several photographs that he drops off at a photo lab on June 2. He then calls newspaper photographer Antonio San Antonio, telling him where to pick them up. All but one show an edge-on view of what appears to be a large, squat disc with a rim through its midsection. One photo shows the bottom of the UFO with the Aluche symbol, this time with a horizontal bar crossing the verticals and linking the two arms. In August, another photographer calling himself Antonio Pardo produces two more photos of the edge-on disc taken the same day, as well as some hard green-colored plastic strips bearing the distinctive Aluche symbol supposedly found in a capsule that leaflets by a “Henri Dagousset” predicted in June would be found. Jordán Peña later confesses to hoaxing the plastic strips, which are made of Tedlar (polyvinyl fluoride) produced by DuPont for the US space program. Independent analyses by French space scientist Claude Poher and the US group Ground Saucer Watch determine that the San José de Valderas photo with the Ummo symbol is a small model—an 8-inch plate suspended by a string or fishing line— held close to the camera. The symbol apparently is drawn in ink.

Event 28793 (F6B7DC72)

Date: 6/1/1967
Description: A yellow-orange disc-shaped object with three legs and windows allegedly landed in Santa Monica near Madrid, Spain at 11 p.m. Ground traces included three holes in the ground and burnt grass at the landing site. The holes were rectangular in shape and 15 cm x 30 cm in size. An aluminum colored powder and some mysterious tubes were also discovered. An object, said to be lens-shaped, was photographed 30 minutes earlier in San Jose de Valderas, Spain. The photo shows an “H” insignia on the bottom of the craft. The photograph, however, is regarded by many UFO investigators as a hoax.

Description: Day. Two Spanish Air Force pilots flying Lockheed T-33s at 4,000 feet encounter a UFO over the Extremadura region, Spain. Attempts at radio contact fail, and when they fly above or below the object, their radios cease to function and emit interference noises. The UFO soon moves off, easily outstripping the jets, stopping and waiting for them to approach, then moving on again, The two pilots notify the Talavera la Real Air Base in Badajoz and Torrejón Air Base in Madrid, from which two faster fighters are scrambled. The new fighters experience the same radio interference and maneuvers until the object shoots straight up at high speed.

Description: Six-year-old Leland Wlazlak was in the bathroom in Seattle, Washington at 9 p.m. when a red ball came in through the window and struck him in the forehead. It then “went up through the ceiling.” He looked outside and saw bright blue, red, and black lights, and a strange being who had short horns, slanting eyes, and a lipless mouth. The stranger asked the boy what the garden soil was, and told him to “watch the rocket ship–he’d be back.” Then he flew up on the roof with the aide of two tanks on his back shooting out white smoke. The boy said, “He didn’t have a body.” Two more strange beings were visible in the ship. Then the first being came back, asked Leland what a tree in the backyard was, and pointed a device that looked like a gun at him. The boy screamed and ran out of the bathroom.

Event 28832 (6B0811F0)

Date: 6/10/1967
Description: A daytime photograph of a disc-shaped object was taken in East Woonsocket, Rhode Island by UFO contactee Harold Trudel. The photograph shows a slightly asymmetric hubcap shaped object with a small dome and aerial extending from the bottom. To even the untrained eye it looks like a fake, more than likely produced by suspending a model from a string. Trudel believed he was in mental contact with space people, who sent him telepathic messages as to where and when they would appear. Oddly enough, two more cases of photographs being taken of UFOs occurred on this day in Austria. Two people, one named Tutter, took a photograph of a UFO in Vienna (Wien), Austria at 9:55 p.m., and two more people, one named Brettschneider, took a photo in Ganserndorf, Austria at 11:35 p.m.

Date: 6/13/1967
Location: CANADA, Caledonia (Ontario)
Description: (Translated from French) It was 2:30 a.m. when Carmen Cuneo, a miner, stepped out of one of the Domtar Quarrys barracks for some fresh air. Caledonia is located between Lakes Ontario and Erie. As he stepped out, he was surprised by what he saw: an object shaped like a cigar, about twelve meters long, close to the ground, and a circular object about 5 m in diameter hovering above him. Not sure of what he was seeing, he noticed four windows along the side of the cigar. He was even more amazed when he saw three small figures wearing bubble-shaped helmets with an amber light on top, picking up things from the ground. Not believing his eyes, Cuneo stayed there looking for about ten minutes before entering the barracks and waking up other workers. They came out just in time to see the two objects rise from the ground. However, they were still surprised as the objects hovered above the square between the barracks for another 20 minutes before heading southwest, flashing lights of all colors but without making a sound. At the landing site, a kind of oily substance was mixed with the soil. Samples were analyzed and the result was that the oil was a common lubricating oil…

Date: 6/13/1967
Description: At 2:30 a.m. Carmen Cuneo, a night shift worker at a factory in Caledonia, Ontario saw two objects near the factory’s scrap heap and dump area: a large cigar-shaped object on the ground, 35 feet long by 15 feet thick, and a hovering disc-shaped object about 15 feet in diameter. The smaller object, tilted up at a 45-degree angle, had a row of orange-lighted windows around its periphery. In the larger object were four square windows emitting a pulsating orange light, and from one end of it projected upward at a 45 degree angle a rod 15 feet long, bearing a large red light at the end. Beneath this light moved three small humanoid figures about three feet tall, wearing miner’s hats with small lights on them. They were picking up and examining small objects on the ground with quick, jerky movements. After watching for 10 minutes, Cuneo called co-worker Marvin Hannigan to see it, but by the time Hannigan arrived the humanoids were gone. The two craft started very slowly to rise straight up into the air. After they reached a height of 50 feet they departed at about 40-45 mph without making a sound. At the landing site branches were broken and the brush charred, and an oily liquid was found on the ground.

Location: Clearwater Bay on Shoal Lake, Ontario
Description: Late evening. A family is returning home by boat near Clearwater Bay on Shoal Lake, Ontario, when they notice a bright oval object hovering 50 feet above the treetops about a half-mile away. As they approach, the object turns an orange tinge and suddenly sweeps toward their boat at great speed. They beat a hasty retreat to the other shore, while the UFO returns to its original position. The same thing happens when they approach the object again. After about 15 minutes, the object takes off at an incredible speed to the northwest. One resident, who is not aware of the UFO, reports later that the static on his radio was so bad that he had to turn it off. Wilted leaves on the top of birch, hazel, and chokecherry trees are discovered in the sighting area. Leaf samples are analyzed by the Canadian Department of Forestry, which cannot find an explanation for their condition other than heat. The University of Manitoba finds evidence of fungus on one sample but not on others.

Location: USA, between Colorado and California
Description: (Translated from French) A family was travelling in a caravan towards California. At a petrol station they saw a round flying object, it looked like a child’s bonnet and the thing was surrounded by a bright ring with multicolored lights. Underneath was a kind of searchlight that swept the ground. The beam stopped on the caravan and the object quickly flew over it. Then it disappeared as it had come. The next day, after having driven a long way, the family was surprised to find the same flying device which this time came as close as 25 meters to the caravan. Taken by fear, the mother of the family fainted. When the craft finally moved away, the witnesses had another big surprise. Inside the caravan, a carrot placed on the table had grown roots so quickly that they almost touched the ground… (1967, Summer)

Description: At 10:30 p.m. Robert Luca was driving from Durham, Connecticut to Hamnonassett Beach when he saw two large, cigar-shaped objects in the sky. From one of them came two smaller objects; one flew to the east, the other to the west. One of the discs came towards him, descending in falling leaf motion behind some trees about 1/4 mile away. It was dull metallic in color. The next thing he remembered was arriving at the beach shortly before two a.m., with no memory of the intervening three hours. Under hypnosis in 1977, Luca remembered being nude in a room with a white floor, lighted by indirect blue white light. In a later session, he remembered being on a table in this room, with two “persons” at his head and feet. The entities had large baldheads, no noses and “tapered” faces.

Event 28939 (EEA11B8C)

Date: 6/30/1967
Description: Mrs. Lemarquandsa was walking through her house around six o’clock in the evening in Thompson, Manitoba when she heard an odd beeping sound. It was repeated at regular intervals about once a second, and she wondered what was causing it. She looked out her kitchen window, and saw dirt and loose pieces of paper flying in a large circle around her house. Outside, she found her husband, who had just come home, and five children staring up into the sky. A young boy was holding her eight-year-old daughter down on the ground. Up in the sky a box-shaped or rectangular object hung in the air, slowly rotating counter-clockwise and showing alternating silver metallic and black sides. It was black on its lower surface, and made no noise. The object began moving off at an angle, stopped and hovered, and then continued towards the southeast. Until this time the circle of dirt and dust had persisted, but it now died down. The whirlwind was confined to the area immediately around their house and did not affect any other houses on the street. When the object moved away, the dirt fell to the ground. Going to the children, the woman found they were calming down except her daughter, who seemed dazed. The boy explained that the five of them had been playing in the yard when the object first appeared overhead. As they watched, her daughter had been levitated into the air, and this levitation was apparently caused by the UFO in the sky. By the time the other children had come to her aid, she was about one meter off the ground and her clothes had edged up her body. Her daughter said she did not remember anything from the time she felt the wind until the time she recovered after being dragged back to the ground.

Event 28940 (EEE2C707)

Date: 7/1967
Location: Spain, Balearic Islands, Palma
Description: (Translated from French) At 3 o’clock in the morning, Miss de Ribas was suddenly awakened by an intense light coming from the patio. She distinguished at the window two small silhouettes that seemed to be talking to each other. They had a big head and huge eyes. In a state of extreme agitation, the young girl tried to turn on the light, but nothing happened, as if the electricity had been cut off. She changed rooms to get a coat, as she intended to flee, but when she returned, she saw nothing. She went out and noticed that there were two footprints of small feet in front of the window.

Event 28941 (D351950F)

Date: 7/1967
Location: NETHERLANDS, Oosterschelde (arm of the sea)
Description: (Translated from French) Industrialist Stefan Danaerde is at anchor on the Oosterschelde with his sailboat. His son tells him that the radar is defective. As the evening promises to be calm, Danaerde is not really worried. In the evening he starts the engine and sets sail for the Burgsluis lock. Then a kind of blue sun appears in the sky emitting a shrill noise. On the water floats like a dead man and Danaerde jumps into the sea to bring back the dead. That’s when the “sun” presents itself as a fairly flat metal saucer and a staircase descends to the water, while a dark silhouette is outlined. Danaerde is sucked towards the saucer and panics. He finds himself in the presence of beings 1.40 m tall, dressed in astronaut costumes with multiple ornaments. They have a very high forehead, pointed ears and speak with a mechanical voice in English. “Can understand you us?” - “Yes, I do.” They thank Danaerde for having come to the aid of one of their own who had fallen into the sea and say they are from another planet but have been on Earth for a long time. Danaerde then receives, as a sign of recognition, a metal piece. Through the computer and television (note from vog: in 67? On board a sailboat?) he is taught all kinds of things about the planet Jarga, which would be 10 light years from Earth. People there live in cylinders, as the planet is overpopulated. They practice a kind of absolute communism and private property does not exist there. There is no money either. Their only goal is “omni spiritual creativity”.

Event 28942 (0DBA655D)

Date: 7/1967
Location: PORTUGAL, Monte (Oleiros, Ponte da Barca) - Viana do Castelo
Description: (Translated from French) At 7 pm the farmer saw an object flying in the sky at very high speed and projecting beams of yellow, red and green light. Meanwhile, his two daughters, who were keeping the flock, saw with understandable fear two humanoids standing on a wall 30 meters away from them. They had big heads. Their arms and legs reflected the light of the sun. They were small, less than one meter tall. They jumped off the wall (50 cm high) with both feet and disappeared. When the girls told their father about this adventure, they went to the wall to look for traces, but there was nothing.

Date: 7/3/1967
Locations: Highwood Ranger Station; Calgary, Alberta; Canada; American; Colorado
Description: 5:30 p.m. Warren Smith and two friends hiking in the mountains near Highwood Ranger Station, 50 miles southwest of Calgary, Alberta, take two color photos of a daylight disc that appears to be about 25 feet in diameter. The disc appears from less than 2 miles away and at an altitude of approximately 2,000 feet. It travels toward the hikers, gradually losing altitude, then at a distance of about one-half mile it hovers for a moment and an object appears to fall from it. It disappears from sight at treetop level at great speed. The photos are examined by both Canadian and American authorities; Hynek describes them as some of the best photos on record at the time. An analysis by Canadian National Defence finds the object is an oblate ellipsoid with a diameter of 40–50 feet and a thickness of 11–14 feet. The witnesses sign statutory declarations to the effect that the photos are not a hoax; if proven false, they would be subject to prosecution under the Canada Evidence Act. Nevertheless, the Colorado Committee thinks the object could be a hoaxed hand-thrown model. Ground Saucer Watch declares it genuine.

Event 28966 (42FA0477)

Date: 7/3/1967
Location: Woonsocket, Rhode Island
Description: 7:15 p.m. Joe Ferriere sees a large, cigar-shaped object about 75–100 feet long hanging low in the sky above Woonsocket, Rhode Island. A peculiar piston-like apparatus appears to be pumping in and out of its left end. It is moving right to left in the manner of a pendulum. Before it moves off to the east, it releases a glowing disc- shaped object, about 12–15 feet in diameter. He takes a total of 6 photos of the objects.

Location: Leawood, Kansas
Description: 9:15 p.m. Thomas H. Nicholl, his family, and another couple, Mr. and Mrs. John Dowd, are sitting on the Nicholls’s porch in Leawood, Kansas, when they see an unusual orange-red light approach from the north- northeast. It is bright metallic in color, about 50 feet in diameter, and traveling 100 mph at an altitude of 2,000– 3,000 feet. The red-orange color emanates from three lights on the rear side. After 5 minutes, the object blows up, leaving in its wake a “nearly pure white” cloud that dissipates. The witnesses see fragments falling to earth.

Event 28969 (F66F90C4)

Date: 7/3/1967
Description: Marine “RT” with Alpha Red TS Crypto Clearance states he was at a CR site in 1967 where he departed from Camp Pendleton to a retrieval site “somewhere in the desert” on 3 July 1967. When he landed there were tents and a pre-fab hangar and at the site were men in fatigues without insignia. RT was assigned guard duty. RT states he looked inside the hangar and saw a metallic disc with a dome on top with no windows, around the craft were men at work and tables with technical instruments. A large walk-in refrigerator unit on skids had several empty body bags.

RT states he was seen looking into the tent, escorted to the officer in command Col. “P”, USAF Medical Corps, reminded of his Security Oath and confined to his quarters before being sent back to Pendleton for punishment. RT states when he called APRO about the CR he began receiving threats, he was visited by an intelligence agent and reminded of his Security Oath, his apartment was pillaged on 21 July 1980, visited on 22 July 1980 and threatened where RT performed a citizen’s arrest with a gun and the police booked the man before another man in a “limousine” showed the police their credentials and he was released.

On 28 July 1980 RT states he was visited by a man dressed in black who offered to exchange UFO information and it was the last call made. The visitor’s ID allegedly said CIA. After his admissions RT then got a job at the AEC and stopped telling his story of the CR.

Description: 5:15 a.m. At least five witnesses from two independent locations about 5 miles west of Corning, California, see an oblong, metallic-appearing object with a brilliant light on top and a smaller light on the bottom near the front. Jay Munger, proprietor of an all-night bowling alley, and two police officers, Frank Rakes and James Overton, describe it as a dark-gray flattened sphere with a brilliant light beam on top directed upward, and a smaller and dimmer light on the bottom directed downward. A dark band circles the midsection. Two men north of Corning independently see the object. The witnesses estimate a diameter of 50–100 feet. At first the object appears to be hovering, then it moves slowly a few hundred feet above the ground, finally picking up speed and disappearing from view to the south after being visible for about 10 minutes.

Locations: Murray Bridge, South Australia; Karoonda Highway
Description: Night. A witness is driving five miles north-northeast of Murray Bridge, South Australia, on the Karoonda Highway when he notices interference on the car radio, which becomes a high-pitched whine. He turns the radio off. Within 300–450 feet, his car engine stops by itself. The ignition is on but the warning lights on the dash come on. Looking up, he sees a distinct break in the fog with stars visible and a “large dark shadow” at a height of 20 feet. The shadow seems 120 feet thick. Above it is a grayish-blue glow. The top of the shadow appears convex. He stops the vehicle and gets out to look, but the shadow and light are gone. There is no sound, and the object has vanished. The witness returns to the vehicle, tries the ignition, and the motor works. There is no longer radio interference.

Description: (Translated from French) Geraldo Baqueiro, 45 years old, a driver, aboard his car climbing painfully at 40 km/h to the top of the Serra de Mantiqueira, saw at 01:30 a blinking red light coming towards him. As it approached, the vehicle advanced less and less and the engine responded in intensity to the pulsations of the light. There were some misfires and then everything stopped: engine, headlights, radio. The thing stayed at 10 or 15 m high and at about thirty meters it became increasingly red and finally a disc-shaped object emerged and the light became neon white. In the lower part a square dome, and a kind of windshield 2 m long on this disc making about 5 m in diameter and 3 m high. It remained suspended silently and the white light emitted came from inside the object. At the height of the windshield an humanoid appeared, followed by 4 others: he only saw their faces: like cats! They made no sign, only looked at the car for a short time. With a violent gust of wind and a deafening whistle the UFO left from where it came. As soon as it was away, everything worked again in the car. Total duration of the observation: 5 minutes

Event 29000 (D67FC4D2)

Date: 7/7/1967
Description: At 3:00 a.m. an intense light coming from their patio had awakened the daughter of the Count de Ribas on the Mediterranean island of Palma de Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. From her window she saw two small figures apparently speaking to each other. They had very large heads, possibly due to the presence of helmets, and huge eyes. The witness tried turning on the lights but they did not work. She then went to get candles and when she returned both beings and the light had vanished. Two small marks on the outside of the wall were found that could only be removed by scraping the wall; after it had been painted, the marks reappeared.

Date: 7/13/1967
Location: Whitehouse, Ohio
Description: 11:26 p.m. Robert Richardson and Jerry Quay are driving near Whitehouse, Ohio. When rounding a bend, they encounter a brilliant blue-white light blocking the road. It appears to be a triangle 8 feet tall and 21 feet wide. Richardson brakes and close their eyes. They feel a bump but can see nothing. The local police do not take the incident seriously. However, the accident is investigated by the state police and highway patrol, who find only skid marks at the scene. The next day Richardson returns to the site and finds a piece of metal in the road. Marks on his car hood and bumper suggest a collision with an object taking off. On July 18 and 23, Richardson is visited by mysterious men, those on the second occasion being foreign-looking, who make a threat against his wife. Roy Craig of the Colorado project conducts a test on the metal and finds it consists of iron and chromium, with traces of nickel and manganese. Fibrous material from the front bumper is 92% magnesium, 5% aluminum, 2% zinc, and 1% manganese.

Event 29042 (A71E2FEF)

Date: 7/17/1967
Location: FRANCE, Arc-sous-Cicon (Doubs)
Description: (Translated from French) A group of young children had gone for a walk in the pastures at the foot of the woods, when the youngest girl of 6 years old exclaimed “I saw three black Chinese people”. The small group saw nothing but ran towards the village. The little girl said that they were small and that they spoke to each other in a kind of music: ra, ra, lé, tré, la. It was then 3 o’clock in the afternoon. A 15 year old girl then went to the site, but saw nothing. She returned around 4 o’clock accompanied by several other young people. Sitting on a rock about ten meters from a dirt road that serves the pasture: the terrain is rugged. Suddenly they saw a small black being running on the flat part: it was about 1.10m tall and completely black. It had a head that was roughly normal for its size, but it shone: was it covered with something? Except for the belly, which was big, the rest seemed proportionate. It passed 25m from the witnesses at 4pm in the middle of summer, so they saw it well. It ran like a man and disappeared into the hedge. It was wearing some kind of black tights. They rushed after it, but in vain. The next day people found a circle of 4m where the grass was burned: a particular smell emanated from it, not comparable to the smell of burned grass. The circle was more burned in the center than on the edges. In the northeast were traces of small feet. (July 17, 1967)

Description: 11:25 p.m. Emma Funk is driving on State Highway 22 north of Millerton, New York, when a black, shiny object the size of a baseball flies into her headlight beams. It heads toward the windshield, brushes against it, then veers off to the left. As it brushes, her car lights up “like a great electric light bulb,” her engine quits, and the headlights go out. Funk is stunned, and when she regains her senses, the car is facing the opposite direction, toward the south. The engine starts up normally, but there is a cracked area in the windshield the size of a fist. She can’t account for about 15 minutes.

Description: While driving home at 1:00 a.m. in Newville, Pennsylvania Mr. Stanley L. noticed a light that he first thought was the moon, but it moved towards him and dropped into a position directly in front of his car. It paced him, keeping a distance of 15 to 20 yards, while he drove along at 55 mph. It was a rounded object, 10-15 in diameter, and was glowing brightly with an orange light. Stanley thought he could see the shadowy silhouette of a man inside the object working controls. When he slowed down the UFO rose above the telephone wires but continued to pace him the rest of the way home. At home he called out his sister Joanne, and her boyfriend Carl, and all three of them saw the object hovering over a field. When he drove away it followed his car again, and returned with him to the house where they could now make out the form of the occupant inside the object. The object made no sound. While they went inside the house the UFO disappeared. This encounter occurred during a continuing wave of UFO sighting reports in south central Pennsylvania.

Description: At 3:15 in the afternoon in Arc-sous-Cicon, Doubs department, France four children saw three dark humanoids with protruding stomachs who spoke an unintelligible language that sounded like musical tones. They were dressed in black suits. Broken vegetation, a circle of burnt grass four meters in diameter, and three small footprints were found at the site. Several hours later there were widespread reports of fireballs seen by hundreds of people throughout Europe. Some believed these sightings were the result of a satellite re-entry or possibly a spectacular meteor. According to investigator Eric Zurcher, “We now know that the beings in question were already in the area three days earlier, since they were seen on the 14th and 15th by an agricultural worker.”

It came right up to her car, seemed to brush against the windscreen, then veered off to the left. When it made contact the car lit up “like a giant electric light bulb.” The engine and headlights failed and she lost consciousness. When she recovered the car was pointing in the opposite direction and there was a cracked area the size of a man’s fist in the windshield. In September she underwent hypnotic regression in which she spoke of the radio being filled with static and unspecified beings, which turned the car around and struck her across the chest with a rod.

The noise started again and he received the message that he had nothing to fear, that no harm would be done to him and he would do none. He approached and another message came to him: “Danger. I must go.” He saw a kind of light in the sky and when he looked down again the entity had disappeared. (vog: Was the Reverend really awoken or was he dreaming?

The phenomena appear to be moving towards the northeast. Specialists advance the thesis of ball lightning similar to those that occur when lightning strikes. A new statement, drawn from calculations of the US administration for aeronautics and space, transforms “the” fireballs into “one” single luminous ball, and identifies it as the last stage of the carrier rocket of the Soviet satellite Cosmos-169 which burned during its reentry into the atmosphere. The Soviet authorities do not respond to this statement. (1:15)

Event 29073 (1248D12D)

Date: 7/18/1967
Description: At 1:20 a.m. Rev. Anthony De Polo, an Assembly of God minister, was lying in bed in Boardman, Ohio when he heard a very loud whining sound that rose and fell in pitch. Then he received a distinct mental message telling him to go to the window. He did so, and saw a five foot tall figure wearing a luminous tight-fitting “spacesuit.” There was also a source of light coming from above the figure. At first he thought someone was playing a prank, but the apparition was well-defined and looked real. He stepped out onto his porch and mentally heard the words,“You have nothing to fear.”

He began to walk toward the being when the whining noise began again and he heard, “Danger; I must go.” Then the figure dissolved into a blurred glow of light. Before it completely disappeared De Polo received another message of a personal nature. On the same night and not far from De Polo’s home, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dixon heard a loud noise outside, looked out, and saw an object hovering over their house. It moved off toward the south after about five minutes. De Polo has had a number of subsequent UFo sightings and “contacts.”

Description: 11:30 p.m. Barbara Fawcett is driving alone on North Key Largo, Florida, near Jewfish Creek. She sees a large light in her rear-view mirror apparently following the car. The burning yellow light seems to be floating 6–8 feet off the ground, and it stays over the road. She accelerates to 100 mph as the light overtakes her car and seems to be about to land on top of it. As a car approaches in the opposite direction, the object emits a bright yellow glow that lights up the road and then disappears. She decides to return home to Pompano Beach with her sister the same morning, and at 2:30 a.m. they are on US Highway 1 near the same spot when she sees the light again, rising from a swamp and moving toward them 15 feet above the ground. Her sister’s toy poodle is terrified. The light veers away from the road and appears to land on a sand dune.

It seemed to be about seven-meter in diameter, circular or disc shaped, and was observed to be spinning. Some twenty people in the vicinity saw it. It stopped and hovered over some nearby trees and threw off some metallic fragments. The next morning two trees showed cuts at a height of five meters, and a third tree at three meters. On the ground were found fragments of what seemed to be burnt wood, but the inside looked like fused glass. Chemical analysis of the fragments established the presence of sulphur, copper and silicon that had been subjected to a heat of more than 1600º Celsius.

Description: Ronnie Hill, 14, of Pamlico County, North Carolina, sends a color photo of what looks like a little man in a spacesuit standing in front of a spherical UFO to a New York magazine editor. It winds up in the hands of John A. Keel. Hill tells him the UFO landed in his backyard. Keel gathers affidavits from Ronnie’s teachers, parents, and the local 4-H club, and submits the photo to “several professional photographers” in New York, who cannot find evidence of a hoax. Soon, however, Keel has doubts and the photo is revealed to be that of a small model positioned in front of an egg.

Within the glow he could see two shiny silvery figures moving about, apparently floating just above the ground. The figures soon disappeared from sight. Later, two V-shaped depressions were found on the ground in the same area.

Event 29100 (6373F643)

Date: 7/21/1967
Description: At 2:30 a.m. Barbara Fawcett, age 18, and her sister saw a yellow “jagged” object rise above a swamp near Jewfish Creek, Florida. A dog riding in their car became fearful of the low flying yellow light, which flew just 15 feet above the roadway in Pompano Beach. The UFO then veered off to the right and landed on a sand dune to the east of the road. Air Force investigators found a very large scorched area at the spot.

Event 29101 (76A5B390)

Date: 7/21/1967
Description: On this afternoon in Pamlico County, North Carolina 14-year-old Ronnie Hill was playing in the garden when he noticed a strange odor in the air, and his eyes began to tear. He then saw a spherical object about three meters in diameter descend from the sky and land in a nearby field. Thinking that nobody would believe him, he ran inside his home and obtained a small Kodak camera. Once back outside he saw a small figure emerge from behind the object. The figure was about 1.25 meters in height, wore a tight-fitting silvery suit and carried in its hand a black object that it inserted into the ground, The entity then returned to the object, which took off into the sky at high speed. The odor was described as resembling propane gas. Ronnie Hill also noticed a total lack of sound during the encounter. A controversial photograph of the humanoid and UFO was taken and subsequently publicized. The photograph is widely regarded as a hoax by UFO investigators, with an eggshell used to model the UFO.

Capt. Julián Lucas Ardanza comes to the deck and sees a cigar-shaped UFO about 110 feet long, glowing blue and white. It paces the ship for 15 minutes, then suddenly dives and passes underneath the ship, vanishing in the depths. Chief Officer Carlos Lasca describes the object as a “submergible UFO with its own illumination.”

Event 29136 (73484AE1)

Date: 7/30/1967
Locations: Kernville, California; Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake; Walker Pass; Edwards AFB; Boron AFS ADC radar site
Description: 10:17 p.m. George and Brownie Petyak see a bright yellow star-like light at about 65° elevation to the east of Kernville, California. It is later joined by a second similar object appearing to try to “steer” the first onto a “definite course.” Through binoculars the first object appears bright blue. A second independent observation from Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in the Mojave Desert locates an object visually and/or on radar to the west over Walker Pass (about 20 miles) and is reported to Edwards AFB. Thus the visual sighting lines intersect from opposite directions. A controller at Edwards uses RAPCON (Radar Approach Control) radar (or Boron AFS FPS-35 search radar) and confirms the visual report at China Lake but tries to dismiss the 115 mph target as merely civil aircraft that “frequently” fly over the area. The Kernville witnesses report by phone during their sighting to the Boron AFS ADC radar site. Blue Book claims the date of the sighting is in question because the questionnaire sent to the Petyaks uses the military time (Greenwich Meridian Time or Zulu time) instead of local time.

Event 29154 (7386A87D)

Date: 8/1967
Locations: Idaho; Tennessee
Description: At the request of President Johnson, the CIA sets up Operation CHAOS to gather intelligence about foreign influence on American dissent. Its mission is to gather and evaluate all information about foreign links to racial, antiwar, and other protest activity. The operation is launched under DCI Richard Helms and counter-intelligence chief James Jesus Angleton, and headed by Richard Ober. The program runs through 1973, amassing 10,000 files on more than 300,000 individuals and 100 domestic groups. The operation also infiltrates foreign intelligence targets and domestic radical organizations. The NSA assists in the surveillance with its own Project MINARET. Operating between 1967 and 1973, over 5,925 foreigners and 1,690 organizations and US citizens are included on the Project MINARET watch lists. NSA Director Lew Allen testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee in 1975 that the NSA has issued over 3,900 reports on the watch-listed Americans. At some point, the NSA is tasked with monitoring the overseas telephone calls and cable traffic of two prominent members of Congress, Sen. Frank Church (D-Idaho) and Sen. Howard Baker (R-Tenn.). The FBI begins COINTELPRO–BLACK HATE, which focuses on Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference as well as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Revolutionary Action Movement, the Deacons for Defense and Justice, Congress of Racial Equality, and the Nation of Islam. BLACK HATE establishes the Ghetto Informant Program and instructs 23 FBI offices to “disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize the activities of black nationalist hate type organizations.”

Event 29155 (6E183FE9)

Date: 8/1967
Location: Wapakoneta, Ohio
Description: 2:00 a.m. A man is returning to his mother’s home in Wapakoneta, Ohio, when he sees a strangely bright star to the left of Polaris. As he watches, it grows a bit brighter and begins to move directly beneath Polaris and then continues to the right. It repeats this in reverse and then goes under Polaris and stops. The star then migrates north and south, tracing out the elements of a large cross. It does this several times rapidly. Then it comes back below Polaris and just sits there. After nearly 3 hours, the witness decides to stop watching. At that, the star goes up to Polaris and shoots away to the left.

They had the opportunity to see that there was a large dome, with a blue light at one end and a yellow light at the other. The object made no noise. The dome was rotating. The pursuit lasted from 8 pm to 8:40 pm. The driver experienced a great pain in his forehead between the two eyes, which lasted for 16 days after the observation and the lawyer had a yellow complexion and had a feeling of lightness. It seemed to the two witnesses that they had received some kind of mental message about the possible life on other planets.

Description: 8:00 p.m. Amauri Barbosa da Silva and Jonil Faydit Vieira are driving on the road to Japeri from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when they see several yellowish lights that eventually extinguish themselves, one at a time. Later, they see similar lights positioned directly in front of them. Da Silva blinks his headlights, and the lights respond similarly. The lights maintain their position in front of them, moving from one side of the road to the other. When they are approaching Miguel Pereira on a mud road between Arcádia and La Chaumiere, they see two bright beams of light, one yellow and one blue, about 1,000 feet away from them on the right, apparently attached to the dome of a disc. The object follows them for at least 40 minutes and is seen by Nelson Gonçalves Ferreira at their destination in Miguel Pereira.

Description: 11:30 p.m. A married couple and their teenage son are sleeping in their car outside their home in Caracas, Venezuela. They wake up and see a white, disc-shaped object hovering 100 feet above a nearby palm tree. Within a few minutes, an opening appears in the UFO, and a smaller lightbulb-shaped object emerges and drifts downward, stopping just inches from the ground near their front porch. A door slides open and a small, glowing figure steps out, who bends over, picks up some stones, examines them, and looks up at the larger object, apparently communicating with someone. He looks toward their car frequently. After a few minutes, the figure reenters the small object, which returns to the large disc and enters it. The disc speeds away and disappears in seconds.

Event 29204 (7FE365C7)

Date: 8/5/1967
Locations: Duhamel, Alberta; CFB Namao [now CFB Edmonton]; Defense Research Establishment Suffield [now DRDC Suffield]
Description: Morning. After a night of heavy rain, Edgar Schielke finds a circular mark more than 30 feet in diameter in his cow pasture near Duhamel, Alberta. A UFO group from Edmonton visits the field and finds three additional rings. An RCAF team from CFB Namao [now CFB Edmonton], along with Gareth H. S. Jones of the Defense Research Establishment Suffield [now DRDC Suffield], visits the farm on August 11 after much of the evidence has been trampled. Jones finds two more rings. The marks vary from 5 to 7 inches wide and from 31 feet 9 inches to 36 feet 3 inches, and each is incomplete on its western side. He is puzzled as to what made the marks, can find no evidence of a hoax, and seriously considers whether an aerial object could have made them.

Date: 8/6/1967
Locations: Mexico; Tamaulipas; Tlaxcala; Hidalgo; Veracruz; Lake Pátzcuaro; Michoacán; Mexico City International Airport; Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mexico; Cape Canaveral
Description: 7:55–8:20 p.m. Formations of lights in groups of 3–5 are seen in many states of Mexico, including Tamaulipas, Tlaxcala, Hidalgo, Veracruz, and Lake Pátzcuaro in Michoacán. Most are generally moving west to east. Many people at the Mexico City International Airport watch a group between 8:10 and 8:20 p.m. Technicians in the control tower can make out 9–10 objects through binoculars. Capt. Angel Fojo Ceballos and Capt. José Luis Espejo are flying an Aeronaves de México [now Aeroméxico] DC-9 at 23,000 feet over Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mexico. They see three bright points flying in formation from northwest to southeast an estimated 30–40 miles away. They cross the horizon at 55,000–60,000 feet in 40–45 seconds. One of the objects appears to break formation and approach the aircraft, showing a round shape and metallic composition, but then it veers away and out of sight. The events are thought to be the reentry of the Pioneer 7 rocket body that had launched from Cape Canaveral on August 15, 1966.

Description: Again in the San Bernardino area of Caracas, Venezuela (see report above from 1965), at 2:00 a.m. Pedro Riera was awakened by someone shaking his bed. When he focused his eyes he saw in front of him a small humanoid being with a disproportionately large head, wearing a “rubber suit.” He jumped out of bed and grabbed the little man, but the dwarf wriggled free and went out the second floor window. Riera looked out and saw a round, multicolored, luminous object so brilliant that he had to close his eyes. In the morning he found deposits of a rust-like substance, and small footprints in this “rust” on the pavement below his balcony. Several neighbors had also observed the UFO.

Event 29231 (77DFF4BB)

Date: 8/7/1967
Description: At 2:00 a.m. Pedro Riera of San Bernardino, Caracas, Venezuela was awakened when his bed was suddenly shaken, and he saw in front of him a small being with an unusally large head wearing a “rubber suit.” Sr. Riera jumped out of bed and grabbed the little man, but he wriggled free and went out the second floor window of his bedroom. Riera looked out and saw a round, multicolored luminous object so brilliant that he had to close his eyes. In the morning he found deposits of a rust-like substance, and small footprints in this “rust” on the pavement below his balcony. Several neighbors had observed the UFO. Two teenagers and a child saw a saucer-shaped object on the ground on the same street as Riera lived.

They are awakened by their dog barking outside. They look out the window and see a large, fluorescent, half-moon-shaped object in a neighboring pasture about 450 feet away. It is shining a beam of light at a milk house only 25 feet from their camper. The dog has stopped barking and they can hear none of the usual night sounds. After about one hour, they hear the sound of someone walking in the gravel and sand outside. Three times the footsteps are heard going from north to south. The Miedtkes remain in bed, hoping no one would know they are in the camper. After another hour, just before dawn, they hear the dog whimpering and barking, followed by the muffled noise like a huge generator that fades away after 6–8 seconds.

Event 29266 (19C735B1)

Date: 8/13/1967
Location: BRAZIL, Santa Maria
Description: (Translated from French) Ignaço da Souza, an agricultural worker, fired at the normal-sized humanoids with his Winchester 44. He was instantly paralyzed by a green beam coming from the UFO that had landed nearby, fell to the ground, became ill and died some time later from leukemia. (Henry DURRANT: “First Investigations on ET Humanoids” - Laffont 1977 - p. 66,67) Returning home around 4:00 PM, Ignaço and Maria da Souza noticed a strange object shaped like a bowl with its opening facing downwards, on the landing strip of the property. This device had a diameter of 35 m. Between it and the house were three unknowns, of human appearance, except that they were bald. They were playing and frolicking like children, but in silence. When they saw Ignaço they pointed at him and started running towards him. He made his wife go back into the house, and she ran there. As he had his rifle with him, he shot at the closest one, at which point a green light came out of the device and hit him in the chest and he fell to the ground. His wife ran up, but by then the men had already gone back into their craft which rose vertically at great speed, making a sound like that of bees. (…) Ignaço da Souza fell ill, his condition only worsened, his whole body was covered in yellow-white spots, he suffered horrible pains, and died on October 11, 1967.

Event 29270 (DCA1C5A2)

Date: 8/13/1967
Locations: Pilar de Goiás; Crixás, Goiás, Brazil; Estancia de Santa Maria; Goiânia
Description: 8:00 p.m. Between Pilar de Goiás and Crixás, Goiás, Brazil, a plantation worker at the Estancia de Santa Maria, Ignácio da Souza, is returning home from work when he and his wife see an object in the form of an upside-down basin 115 feet in diameter sitting on the landing strip of the ranch. They initially think it is some flying machine tested by the ranch owner, Ibiracy de Moraes, a wealthy man and former president of the Bank of Brazil. Between the object and the couple, there are three humanoid, child-size beings that they initially think are naked children before realizing that they are hairless creatures wearing a tight suit of yellow. The beings seem to be playing around silently, but then move quickly towards them. Da Souza tells his wife to lock herself up in their house. He is armed with a rifle and frightened, so da Souza shoots the closest of the beings. At the same time, the UFO emits a ray of green light that hits him, throwing him to the ground unconscious. Seeing her husband fall from the kitchen window, his wife runs onto the scene shouting, interposes herself between the beings and the body of her husband, and picks up his rifle. But during this time the beings have retrieved the one that had fallen to ground and quickly flee to enter the craft. After a short time, it slowly rises vertically while emitting a buzz similar to that of a swarm of bees. Taken to the hospital of Goiânia, the state capital, de Souza suffers from nausea and a general numbness. Burns are noted, initially attributed to a toxic plant, but when de Souza and de Moraes hear the erroneous diagnosis and are told what had happened, doctors perform a blood analysis that returns with a diagnosis of advanced leukemia with life expectancy of two months. Da Souza quickly deteriorates, suffers, develops yellowish spots, and dies on October 11. In accordance with his instructions, his wife burns the bed, the mattress, and the clothing that he has used.

Event 29271 (E42B7606)

Date: 8/13/1967
Description: At about four o’clock in the afternoon Inacio De Souza, age 41, and his wife Maria were approaching their home at Santa Maria, Brazil near the town of Crixas Pilar de Goias, when they saw three figures “playing about” on the landing strip of the owner of the Fazenda. The beings were as tall as young children, had no hair and were wearing skin-tight clothing of a pale yellow color. At the end of the landing strip was a landed UFO having the shape of an inverted washbasin. De Souza, carrying a .44 caliber carbine, fired a shot at the nearest being. Just then a beam of green light came from the UFO and struck De Souza on the head and shoulders, knocking him unconscious. The three entities entered the object, which then took off vertically at a high speed with a sound like buzzing bees. De Souza incurred a circular burned patch six inches in diameter, and he was also diagnosed with leukemia by a physician, from which he died less than two months later.

Event 29279 (AA29F787)

Date: Mid 8/1967
Location: Nova Scotia Light and Power substation in Caledonia, Nova Scotia
Description: About 12:00 noon. Electrical engineer Albert Fulton and superintendent Sherman Anderson are making rounds at the Nova Scotia Light and Power substation in Caledonia, Nova Scotia. They notice steam rising from one of three large transformers, then Fulton spots two silvery disc-shaped objects maneuvering around the sky some distance away. The pair watches them a they zip back and forth in different directions from horizon to horizon in 3–4 seconds. Each time they leave a silvery line about 10 times their length behind them, which disappears when the objects stop. They watch this spectacle for about one minute, then both discs come to a common point in front of a suddenly visible gray, cigar-shaped object. After stopping briefly the two smaller objects merge into the cigar, taking 12–15 seconds. The large object disappears.

On a platform around its perimeter were seated eight to ten little men about three feet tall, who wore tight fitting brown uniforms. A circular depression 12 feet in diameter was later found on the ground at the site.

ddish glow moving back and forth in the nearby woods. Continuing home, they run across a locked, deserted shack that seems to have some yellowish lights moving around in one room and noises like muted thuds. The red glow reappears moving close to the ground from the west. Suddenly it turns brilliant white and appears to land on the other side of a brook. They run home and see a huge light like a flashlight hovering 13 feet above the ground near the house. They hear a whistling sound coming from the brook and what seem to be footsteps coming toward them. They run to a ravine where they see, about 35 feet away, a small being with a disproportionately large head and wearing dark clothing. It lifts its arms and seems to be holding a box-like apparatus with a tube. Two thin, wire-like bands appear around the creature’s ankles and give off an intense white light. They run home again. The next day they return to where the being was and find some odd three-toed footprints about 6 inches long.

Event 29305 (F8CF3290)

Date: 8/23/1967
Description: In Kolmarden, Sodermanland, Sweden a 15-year-old boy and girl, Erik and Inga, were walking together in the evening when they saw a reddish glow descend into the woods at 8:00 p.m. When they reached an abandoned cabin they saw a conical light beam cast onto its wall, and the red light re-appeared. Alarmed by this, they walked to the home of the boy’s sisters, where they found a round, brightly luminous object hovering about 13 feet in the air. Then they heard a whistling sound and footsteps, and finally a little being jumped out from behind some bushes, 35 feet away. The being was 4 feet 4 inches tall, and its face was at first completely in shadow. Then it jerkily raised its head and arms, holding a box from which a short tube protruded. Its head was very large, covered by hair or a helmet. It had large dark eyes, and a nose and mouth that together formed an “X.” It was bowlegged, and around each ankle was a brilliant, white glowing wire. The witnesses ran for home. The next day at the site the boy found some apples that had been broken apart, some of them with the marks of five fingernails or claws on the broken surface. Other apples were coated with a foul smelling slime. Also found outside the house were deep, odd footprints, 6 inches long and with three-toe marks.

Date: 8/26/1967
Description: At 2:00 a.m. Marine Private Esteban D. Cova was just leaving the hangar at Maquetia Airport, Venezuela when he was accosted by a little man about three feet tall who was covered with wiry hair. The little man had a very large head, bulging eyes, and made a deep whistling sound that gave the witness a prickling sensation throughout his body. The little man then spoke in Spanish, asking Cova, “Won’t you come with us? We need one more.” Cova passed out.

Description: David Saunders proposes to the Colorado project team that they issue technical reports on whatever phase or case they have concentrated on. These will be circulated among the staff for review but not for veto. They would stand as the author’s own work without censure. Appropriate disclaimers would be attached before they are issued to the public. A final report might be cobbled together from these technical reports. Condon and Low apparently disapprove of this immediately.

Description: 11:20 p.m. Kenneth Flack is passing a car near Texas Creek, Colorado, when his engine and car lights fail. He pulls to the side of the road, along with the car he is passing and a camper-trailer. He sees a large object in a field some 900–1,200 feet away. It is football-shaped and silvery. He approaches it on foot and is hit by a bright light coming from the object that knocks him out. Bystanders from other cars carry him back to the roadside and tell him that he had been frozen in a standing position for 5 minutes. Flack is intensely cold and sleepy, so another unidentified driver gives him a ride back to Pueblo in a camper

Event 29347 (9061BF26)

Date: 8/29/1967
Location: FRANCE, Cussac (Cantal)
Description: (Translated from French) François Delpeuch, 13 years old, and his sister Anne-Marie, 9 years old, on school holidays, went with their dog Médor to drive about ten cows into the pasture of the place called “les Tuiles”. At one point, the cows wanted to cross a wall separating a neighboring pasture where there were about thirty cows. François got up to call the dog to divert the animals from their purpose. He then saw, on the other side of the D. 57, about sixty meters away, what he took to be four children he did not recognize. He called his sister and, already happy for a possible diversion, she called out: “Are you coming to play with us?” The strangers did not answer. Behind them, half hidden by the fence, François and Anne-Marie saw a shining object, 2 to 2.50 m in diameter, painful to look at because of the bright light. They did not see any openings in it. Two of the strangers were standing to the left of the object and looking at each other, the third had his back to them, it seemed he was kneeling and scratching the ground. The fourth was standing and looking in the direction of the children. He was holding a rectangular object “a mirror” 20 x 30 cm with two faces. Its brilliance blinded the children. The children quickly realized they were dealing with what they called “little black men”. They were long and thin in proportion, with an elongated head, arms proportionally longer than a man’s, thin and short legs. A bulge near their ears gave them a kind of fluffy beard. Black hair and a beard covered their neck and chin. They were dressed in a tight, shiny black suit “like a mechanic” François said. They were all the same size, those on the left a bit smaller (1 m) than those on the right. The hands were not described. François climbed onto a small wall to get a better view. Seeming to have become aware of this presence, the beings returned to the object. First the two on the left, then the one who was kneeling, and finally the one with the mirror. They propelled themselves upwards, arms glued to their bodies, and entered through the top, head first, plunging into the upper part of the sphere. The fourth seemed to have forgotten something on the ground, he went back and then went up to catch up with the sphere which, having taken off in a spiral, was already higher than the trees. During this ascent, other details were noticed. The feet were of a special shape “webbed feet like ducks”. Anne-Marie mentioned the pointed nose. After the latecomer’s return, the object described a few more spirals, then a soft whistle was heard, the sound of the breath was perceived, the object became dazzling, blinding: “my eyes hurt, I was crying …” and the sphere disappeared straight into the sky, towards the northwest. The dog was barking, the cows were mooing, those from the neighbor had left their pasture and had joined François’s herd, mooing, there was a smell of sulfur in the air. François took care of the cows and they returned home crying, bringing the herd back. (1967, 22 or 29 August)

Description: In Cussac, Cantal department, France at 10:30 a.m. 13-year-old Francois Delpeuch and his younger sister, Anne Marie, age 9, were tending their family cows when they saw four dwarfish figures, 3.5 to four feet tall, on the other side of the road, dressed in black. Nearby was a six foot spherical object of dazzling brilliance that rested on the ground. On closer examination they saw that the beings were completely black—either naked, or wearing skin tight black coveralls. They had pointed heads or helmets, which were also black. One was picking something up from the ground, and another had a bright object, like a mirror. When the entities became aware of the children they rose up into the air vertically, one after the other, and plunged head first into the top of the sphere, which then rose in a spiral pattern with a whistling noise. It left behind a smell of sulphur.

Location: Vietnam
Description: The CIA staff’s frank opinions on Vietnam are sometimes modified before reaching President Johnson. At one point the CIA analysts estimate enemy strength at 500,000, while the military insists it is only 270,000. No amount of discussion resolves the difference. In September 1967, the CIA under DCI Richard Helms goes along with the military’s lower number for the combat strength of the Vietnamese Communist forces. This leads a CIA analyst directly involved in this work to file a formal complaint against Helms, which is accorded due process within the agency.

Event 29383 (9C2FDF7E)

Date: Early 9/1967
Location: FRANCE, Missancourt
Description: (Translated from French) In the night, between 1:30 and 2 o’clock two men were hunting. One of them was sitting under an apple tree at the edge of the forest and the other was about to sit down too: they were waiting for a third companion. Then they saw a light like a burning car, yet everything was silent. Without speaking they advanced towards the phenomenon, guns armed. An object was there 20 cm from the ground, beautiful like a meadow mushroom (Coulemelle or rosé des prés), it looked like a fluorescent tube with a red rectangle in the center like the morning sun. The white part of the “mushroom” was 7 to 8 m long and 2.20m to 2.50m high of a bright white. They arrived at 25 m from the thing and suddenly they were both stopped dead, as if paralyzed. The white part of the mushroom dilated and came towards them like a rolling cloud. (…) Serious physiological and psychological effects on the two witnesses. (M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: “Ovni, Premier dossier complet…” - éd. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 289, 290) Two hunters were patrolling an immense field of freshly mechanized wheat. Suddenly they saw at a distance of 150 to 200 m a “car on fire”. (…) It was at this moment that the object dilated in a kind of mist that rushed towards the witnesses, the red rectangle remaining perfectly clear and in the middle of this cloud. The two hunters had different reactions at this moment. The first, in a painful effort, turned around and waited for it to pass, while the second, in a reflex of fear, shouldered his gun towards the phenomenon. But he could not fire… After a few seconds, the first, who had felt nothing, straightened up and found his companion frozen in the previous position, dazed, unable to make a gesture or pronounce a correct sentence. He had felt a feeling of heat when the phenomenon passed over his head (at 2 m) and he had instantly dreamed that he was levitating holding his dead son in his arms. (the witness has a 30-year-old son in 1979 and in perfect health). (1967, late September or early October)

It was shaped like an inverted saucer. It appeared to be on the ground or just above it, and its light fluctuated in intensity. She could hear no sound, though she was behind a glass window. She reported to investigators Roger Stanway and Anthony Pace that she “half imagined” she could see shadowy figures moving back and forth in front of the bright light generated by the object. She could not be certain because the bright light caused her eyes to strain when looking at the object. After watching for half an hour she became tired and went back to bed. The UFO had not moved during her observation. Subsequent examination of the field failed to reveal any traces. This sighting occurred during a spate of several UFO incidents in the same area.

Event 29407 (83B15602)

Date: 9/4/1967
Locations: Clevedon, England; Welford, Berkshire; Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary; Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough
Description: Dawn. A paperboy in Clevedon, England, discovers a 5-foot-wide, saucer-shaped, metallic object in a field. He calls the police, who send it to the guided weapons division of British Aerospace, whose chief design engineer declares it an expensive hoax. Soon five identical objects are found in fields and golf courses in the southern part of England. The sites lie on a straight path 220 miles long that spans 1° of latitude, running west to east from Clevedon to the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary. A USAF intelligence officer takes photos of one in Welford, Berkshire, and chemists with Britain’s Home Office analyze samples of a foul liquid that is seeping from one of the objects. But the objects are a prank involving 15 engineering apprentices, primarily Christopher Southall and Roger Palmer, at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough. The objects are made of fiberglass, and the smelly liquid is a fermented mixture of flour and water.

Description: Caracas, Venezuela - Miss Alicia Rivas Aguilar, age 23, was getting ready for bed at 2:30 a.m. when she noticed a strange looking being just outside her bedroom window. It seemed to be gesticulating but she did not get a good look because she began screaming and the creature flew off. Her brother in law and her parents saw the creature flying off over the neighborhood rooftops. It was surrounded by a yellow glow. Gumersindo Neiro, her brother in law, got the best view from his own room. When he heard her screaming he looked out his window and saw a little being shove off from the window sill. It “soared as if he were lighter than air, with its hands and feet pointed backwards.” The creature flew eastward and out of sight among the tall buildings in that part of the city.

Event 29439 (3975FA1E)

Date: 9/9/1967
Locations: San Luis Valley, Colorado; Great Sand Dunes National Monument; Ross Medical Center in Denver; Great Sand Dunes; Pueblo Chieftain; Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine; Alamosa
Description: A 3-year-old saddle horse named Lady [not Snippy] belonging to Nellie Lewis of the Harry King Ranch in the San Luis Valley, Colorado, just south of Great Sand Dunes National Monument, is found dead a couple days after it has gone missing. The animal appears to have been skinned from the neck to the shoulders, which are nothing but bleached bones. The cut in the neck looks smooth and surgical. The soil beneath the horse is damp, and there is a medicine-like smell. A nearby bush is flattened oddly. Alamosa County Sheriff Ben Phillips blames Lady’s death on lightning. A few days later, rangers at Great Sand Dunes arrest John Henry Altshuler, a pathologist at Ross Medical Center in Denver, for trespassing after dark; he has actually gone to the area to look for UFOs. When they find out he is a specialist in blood coagulation, they say they will drop the arrest record if he takes a look at the dead horse. He finds that Lady’s lungs, heart, and thyroid are completely missing and finds the complete absence of blood distressing. Altshuler begins to think the dead horse has something to do with the UFOs he had seen when he was in the Great Sand Dunes. Nellie Lewis also admits she has been watching something in the sky every night. Duane Martin, a US Forest Service ranger, records a pulse of unusually high radioactivity near Lady’s carcass, although others think it is only background radiation. The Pueblo Chieftain reports on the case in its October 5 edition and it gets picked up by the AP. Pathologist Robert O. Adams, chief of surgery at Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, investigates Lady for the Colorado project and concludes that bacteria, birds, and coyotes are responsible for the lack of blood and organs. He finds an infection in the horse’s right flank that could have killed it; the cut at the neck might have been someone’s mercy killing. “Exhaust marks” found are probably fungal infestations, and indentations are probably weathered hoofprints. Alamosa veterinarian Wallace Leary later finds evidence of two bullet holes in Lady’s rump.

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

Event 29475 (71EC597D)

Date: 9/14/1967
Alternate date: 9/17/1967
Locations: Hospital da Baleia; Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Description: 10:50 a.m. “Fábio Jose Diniz,” 16, is walking along an asphalt path near the deserted grounds of an isolation unit at Hospital da Baleia on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He notices an object in an adjacent football field. It is shaped like a mushroom with a domed top and surrounded by a row of portholes and a thick central “stalk” in contact with the soil. A hazy screen like a force field drops around the object, and a door appears out of nowhere and slides upward along the column. Two humanlike figures, 6 feet tall, emerge, dressed in one-piece diving suits of greenish material and helmets. One of them carries a tube-like implement, and the other has a probe sticking up from his helmet and talks to Diniz in Portuguese, telling him not to run away. He starts running anyway, but the figure tells him to come back the next day or they will take his family. The figure reenters the UFO, which takes off vertically. He sees psychologist and UFO researcher Hulvio Aleixo, who says he is in severe shock. At the landing site, police find some foul-smelling black material that crumbles easily. This is examined by geophysicist Roberto Murto, who finds it is made of iron, magnesium, and silica. An impression like a large footprint is also found. Aleixo subjects the boy to psychological testing and he finds no disorder. The UFO fails to return the next day.

Event 29477 (BA015348)

Date: 9/15/1967
Location: USA, Winstead (Connecticut)
Description: (Translated from French) Strange creatures are observed in the glow of an elliptical shaped light. They are observed near a barn, and howl, like the wind, when they are caught in the beams of headlights. The silhouettes, run on human legs, towards the object which fades away. Around 9pm, two young girls at the window of the upper floor, see a large light come above a large tree, at some distance. The light appeared as big as a Volkswagen. At a few hundred meters distance, it was white and became red, dancing up and down. Alone at home, the young girls were scared. Then they heard noises in the barn a few meters from the house. It was like a coffee grinder that someone was trying to start. Looking in that direction, they saw three dark creatures, about one and a half meters tall, at some distance, standing near the mailbox. On the hill the glowing ball still shone. It was at this moment that a car arrived. The creatures started to run towards the bushes and the light on the hill went out."

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

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

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

When she answered the door she was confronted by a tall dark woman wearing a shimmering long gray gown. The woman asked her some questions, apparently confusing her for somebody else. She then asked for a glass of water and salt, claiming that she had to take a pill. When she left she walked away into the bushes, and moments later the humming sound got louder then the disc rose up and shot up into the sky.

Event 29574 (B22428B3)

Date: 10/1967
Location: USSR
Description: (Translated from French) (cf: November 29, 1966) There were two other Soviet satellites with identical characteristics: Cosmos 185 launched into orbit in October 1967 and Cosmos 316, later in December 1969. Only Cosmos 185, among the four, had a relatively high inclination (64°) and performed maneuvers. It re-entered the atmosphere 15 months later. Such a short life span is surprisingly short for a satellite (…) The rapid fall of Cosmos 185 could thus lead to the idea that it was hollow. (October 1967)

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

Event 29597 (4E119EC1)

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

Event 29598 (70917255)

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

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

Event 29604 (C72489DD)

Date: 10/4/1967
Description: At 11:20 p.m. Atlantic Daylight Time at least one and most likely two separate UFOs dove or crashed into the ocean near Bon Portage Island, in the area of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. There were at least a dozen independent witnesses to the event. Canadian Navy divers searched the area for three days but found nothing. This followed a series of six UFO sightings across Quebec and Nova Scotia beginning at 7:19 p.m., when Air Canada Captain Pierre Guy Charbonneau, flying between Sherbrooke and St. Jean, sighted an orange rectangular object followed by a series of smaller lights, followed by a sizeable explosion near the large object that turned into a big white ball-shaped cloud. The cloud turned red, then violet, and then blue. Two minutes later there was another explosion that turned into a second sphere which was orange in color. Like the first one it too eventually faded to blue. The smaller lights on the “kite tail” broke formation with the rectangular object and began to dance around the spheres like fireflies.

Date: 10/6/1967
Description: An abduction and sexual encounter occurred in Belfast, Northern Ireland at 10:45 p.m. Eugene Browne was walking home from a jazz club when he saw a craft in the sky. A yellow light came from it, which danced around him and made him feel dizzy and soon lose consciousness. He awoke on an exam table in a windowless, oblong room that was lit by a blue light from the floor. He was strapped by metal bands attached to an apparatus on the side of the table. Four men and a woman surrounded him; although they were human in appearance they had a bluish aura. The tallest was dressed in a dark one-piece uniform and said, “at last, someone who will do,” and released him. The woman had long blond hair, high cheekbones and was very fair with a freckled complexion. He had sex with her and she told him they were “from another galaxy” and were experimenting to obtain human seed. Afterwards he was tied up and told it would not be long before he was returned. He blacked out again and recovered in a field about a mile from his original location. He had been abducted for about 40 minutes. He saw the object leave, which took off with a whistling sound as it retracted its tripod landing gear and flew off. He reportedly suffered somephysiological effects after the encounter.

He goes out to check the generator and sees an odd green light moving slowly up the valley from south to north. It approaches to within 500 feet of the cabin. The object is about 75 feet in diameter and looks like two bowls clamped together. Around the rim is a pulsating green light that seems to come from a neon tube. Another green light is rotating slowly inside the top portion, and there are porthole-shaped indentations in the side. Suddenly the light on the rim is extinguished, the upper gfreen light turns white, and the object ascends at a terrific speed, trailing jets of flame.

Description: The Lorenzens visit the Colorado project and find its investigatory procedures “sadly lacking,” with no standard report form or methodology. They also meet with Boulder Daily Camera journalist R. Roger Harkins, who has been covering the Colorado project. They give him a 7-point rationale on why the CIA might be interested in UFOs, just to see if it gets published. Harkins dictates the story to the Associated Press, but it is never published. The Lorenzens suspect the project has a CIA mole. (Low did work for the CIA in 1949 when it was aiding Albanian resistance fighters.)

Event 29633 (8F416B3B)

Date: 10/10/1967
Description: At 12:45 a.m. Norman Cory was driving home in Lakewood, Colorado when he was flagged down by a tall man with a forked goatee. The man was well over six feet tall, and was wearing a jacket with four gold bars on each shoulder. The man talked to the witness without moving his lips, presumably by telepathy. He asked where the North Star was, and what the date was; in response to the answer, he replied, “In your primitive time.” He then asked what the witness had in his mouth, and on being told it was a cigarette, he replied, “Oh, one of your primitive vices.” He next asked about the car and said, “Oh, your primitive mode of transportation.” When the witness asked him who he was and where he was from, the man replied, “I cannot tell you now, but my colleagues and I will return.” Then the man walked about four feet away from the roadside and vanished. Norman then heard a noise and looked up and saw hovering overhead a red object the size of a football field. With a whining noise it went straight up, and then was joined by two more objects, and all three shot away at a tremendous speed.

Event 29637 (74831EA9)

Date: 10/11/1967
Location: SWITZERLAND, Oberhrendingen (Aargau)
Description: (Translated from French) Othmar Willi observed three cylindrical objects with portholes while they hovered about 5 m above a cornfield. Each craft had a small cone and made a sound like that of a swarm of bees. Their dimensions were estimated to be 10 meters in length and 5 meters in diameter. (Jean-Marie DOUCHET - Nostra - 144 of 1979) They were turning slowly and the witness saw two rows of windows in the upper part of the craft. A very particular light was coming out of these small windows. The cylinders emitted a sound like the buzzing of a swarm of bees. Suddenly a hatch opened under one of the craft and a kind of rope appeared at the end of which was suspended an ovoid shape. A container? This stopped at the level of the corn ears, and only the container was illuminated by a light. Then the container was raised. All this lasted about a minute. The three cylinders suddenly started and left at a crazy speed. (Perrin Jack R.: “The Mystery of UFOs” - J’ai Lu / Pygmalion 1976 - pp. 23 to 25) Shortly after midnight, in the night from Tuesday 10 to Wednesday 11 October 1967, while he was contemplating the sky while savoring a last pipe, Mr. Othmar Willi, 37 years old, single, from Oberehrendingen, in the canton of Aargau, saw three cylindrical objects (in a vertical position), surmounted by a small cone, descend from the sky and station themselves about fifty meters from his house, about five meters above a cornfield. The cylinders were 10 meters high and had a diameter of about five meters, estimates Mr. Willi. (…)

Location: USA, Bluff Creek (California)
Description: (Translated from French) … interesting film taken by Roger Patterson (deceased since) a rancher from Yakima (Washington). (…) Having learned that traces had been found along Bluff Creek, he went there accompanied by an experienced hunter, Bob Gimlin. (…) on the morning of October 20th (…) he saw a huge being partly hidden by a large fallen tree trunk due to the flooding of the stream on the edge of which it was drinking. Patterson’s horse began to tremble all over, refused to go any further, snorted and finally fell on its side. "The creature was on my left, about 40 meters away on the other side of the stream. It had an almost human face but the features were much more fleeting, the forehead wide, the nostrils flared. When it walked, the ends of its arms reached almost to its knees. Its body, except for the face, was covered with brown hair between 5 and 10 cm long and appearing lighter on the surface than at the root. (…) pendulous breasts. The creature (…) crossed a sandbank and began to flee towards the hill. The rancher grabbed his camera (…) the (?) humanoid beast turned around and looked at its pursuer with insistence and curiosity. Then, without more, it entered the woods and disappeared (…) Bernard Heuvelmans believes that the film is a hoax, as does John Napier

Event 29729 (9E641E5C)

Date: 10/22/1967
Locations: Charleswood; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Canada Highway 100
Description: Night. Edward Fortney and another real-estate agent are locking up for the night in Charleswood, a suburb of Winnipeg, Manitoba, when they notice a formation of brilliant red, pulsating lights above an adjacent field. They are joined by six other people who have stopped their car to look at the lights. Two similar lights appear and take up a position near the formation. The objects then rise and move away noiselessly in formation. Floating above Canada Highway 100, they appear to change positions, forming a perfect triangle. Fortney looks at them through binoculars and sees dark rectangular objects that the lights are attached to. The formation dips and bobs toward a line of high-voltage towers half a mile away. The three lights in triangular formation break up and form a single file, the wires and towers lighting up with a red glow as they speed over them. They are last seen traveling northwest. On his way home, Fortney experiences a “skullbuster” headache that lasts until midnight. The next day, he visits the site in the field and finds child-like footprints in the moist soil, 7 inches long and under 3 inches wide, leading to and from a peculiar circular pile of fist-sized stones. The heel marks seem deeply impressed in the soil. Fortney also experiences leg and back pain, sunburn on his face and hands, and a yellow- green coating on his tongue.

Description: At 9:30 p.m. Donald Chiszar, age 13, and Pat Crosier, age 10, reported seeing a large light that came closer and hovered over a house in Newfield, New York only 50 yards away. It was a round object with a cupola and antenna on top, and it had an oblong box on the bottom with red, green, and white lights. It was of a dull silver color, about 30 feet in diameter and 6-8 feet high. Around the rim were square shaped red and white lights. It tilted toward them, and they could see two big, square windows separated by a bar in the dome. Through these windows two humanoid beings were visible, each less than 5’7" tall, with “rocky or bumpy” skin of a chocolate brown color. They stood motionless, peering out, while several additional shadows shadows were seen moving behind them. Knobs and electronic equipment were visible inside the lighted section. The domed disc hovered in the same spot for about two minutes, tilted upward in the rear. Then the rim lights became very bright, it assumed a horizontal attitude, and shot away at great speed “like a puff of wind.” The following night, Chiszar told investigators he saw two more of the same flying objects. The boys claimed their walkie-talkies malfunctioned during the observation, and a nearby dog was barking.

Event 29750 (536E3653)

Date: 10/24/1967
Description: On this evening George W. Ritter and three other soldiers were on guard duty at the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation in California when they all observed an orange fluorescent oval-shaped craft slowly approach, leaving a trail behind it. A hatch opened in the bottom of the craft and five small drones dropped out of it. These formed into a V formation and began hovering above the witnesses. As the men looked up they became mesmerized, and Ritter began hearing a “blip-blip” sound like sonar. All four felt paralyzed at this point. Ritter’s next recollection was of being abruptly lifted up into one of the objects. He then found himself lying on the floor of the craft with a Grey humanoid looking down on him. The other three soldiers were nowhere in sight. The being had large black oval-shaped eyes, grayish skin, and did not appear to be wearing any clothing. He saw three other similar smaller creatures that appeared to be assistants. He next heard a voice in his head telling him that he was not going to be hurt. Inside the object there was a misty weird light, resembling a black light. He was then given a shot in his thigh near the groin, and then one of the beings came up to his left side and somehow put his whole hand inside the upper left side of his chest. After some time he was taken into another room where he saw a bright ball of light; it communicated telepathically with Ritter and emanated a sensation of energy and love. Ritter was told that “something wonderful was going to happen” in the near future His next recollection was of standing back on the ground, looking up, but the objects had gone. He and the other men reported the incident to the military authorities, and as a result Ritter spent two months in a military mental hospital.

Event 29764 (C8702CA2)

Date: 10/25/1967
Locations: Truro, Nova Scotia; Moncton, New Brunswick; Wentworth Station, Nova Scotia
Description: 3:15 p.m. R. G. Putnam, a brakeman on a train running from Truro, Nova Scotia, to Moncton, New Brunswick, when he sees a disc with green vapor billowing from it pacing the train at treetop level near Wentworth Station, Nova Scotia. Putnam feels an intense blast of radiation, forcing him to cover his face with his hands to look at it. The object soon drifts away from the train, tips to a 45° angle, then turns to a vertical poistion. A jet arrives, seemingly in pursuit, and the object levels out, taking on the appearance of a cigar-shaped cloud. Both fly out of sight to the west after 35 minutes of observation. One week later, the hair on the back of Putnam’s hands disappears, his hands shrivel up, and his eyes are sore and swollen. Two weeks later, his chest and throat get sore. He reports the sighting to the RCMP and the Canadian Forces, but apparently gets no response.

Event 29778 (E4983B20)

Date: 10/26/1967
Locations: Moigne Downs; Ringstead Bay; Dorset, England
Description: 11:25 a.m. J. B. W. “Angus” Brooks, a former BOAC pilot and photo interpreter, is walking his Dalmatian and German shepherd at Moigne Downs near Ringstead Bay, Dorset, England. An odd-looking craft descends and hovers at an altitude of 200–300 feet at a distance of about a quarter mile from them for 22 minutes. The German shepherd has been foraging for game; when she returns she seems “distraught” as she stands beside Brooks. Her ears are pricked, indicating she is worried about the sounds she is hearing, although Brooks can detect no sound from the object. The odd-shaped craft has a central round chamber estimated to be 25 feet in diameter and 12 feet thick. Four long slender fuselages (estimated 75 feet long and 8 feet wide) extend from the central chamber. In flight, one of the 4 fuselages leads, while the other three are together in the rear. As the object slows to hover, the fuselages move to form a cross. The object rotates 90°, then remains motionless for 22 minutes despite strong winds. Upon departure, the leading fuselage is not the one that led on approach. The remaining 3 fuselages come together in the rear as on the approach, and the object climbs away with increasing speed. The craft appears translucent, taking on the color of the sky above it. There are dark shadows along the bases of the fuselages and the center chamber. On future visits to this area, the German shepherd appears nervous.

Date: 10/27/1967
Description: (Translated from French) A Parshall (North Dakota), close observation, distance less than 150 m, by 2 independent witnesses, one of them a police officer. The observers were far apart, which allowed for triangulation and the calculation of the distance afterwards. Duration of observation 5 minutes. The observed object first moved horizontally, then made a stationary flight with yo-yo movements, and finally a sudden final ascent. Excerpt from the policeman’s account: I had to sit and watch it for 5 good minutes. It bounced like a ball that would jump to a musical rhythm, but when it left - bang - it disappeared in less than 5 seconds. It went straight up, without deviating… I thought it was guided by someone or something, because a balloon floating in the air would not move like that. (3 h)

It was plate shaped with a convex bottom side, and about 30 feet in diameter. When he got to within 50 feet of it his car motor stopped. He described the object as “full of lights”, red and other colors, which alternately blinked on and off. Standing near the saucer was a robustly built man about 5-1/2 feet tall, dressed in a light colored garment (the witness could not specify the color because he was color blind). This being walked in front of the witness and turned on a very bright white beam of light from a flashlight like object. The witness thought he would be assaulted, so he half opened the car door, steadied his .22 revolver on it, and fired 6 shots at the UFO occupant. He reported that he was a good shot with this revolver, and after shooting he could no longer see him. Then the saucer-shaped craft began to oscillate, and he heard a sound like a cowbell. At last, the UFO flew away on an oblique course.

Event 29818 (20489EB0)

Date: 10/30/1967
Locations: Mayanup; Kojonup; Western Australia
Description: 9:30 p.m. Alexander Spargo is traveling alone in his car on the Mayanup–Kojonup road about 10 miles east of Mayanup in Western Australia at a speed of about 60–65 miles per hour. He is approached by a lighted object from the sky. A beam of light comes from a “tube” on the object and immerses the car. Almost immediately, the car stops dead. However, there is no feeling of deceleration. The vehicle’s motor, lights, and radio go off. Spargo hears no noise. The tube seems 2–3 feet in diameter. It is not uncomfortable to the eyes. After about 5 minutes, the tube closes off and the object disappears. His vehicle is suddenly going at 60–65 miles per hour again, with no feeling of acceleration. The object is only seen from underneath, but he estimates its diameter as 30 feet and about 100 feet up in the air. It glows an iridescent blue.

Event 29820 (82691A41)

Date: 10/30/1967
Description: Approaching his home in Melfort, Saskatchewan, Canada at 9:00 p.m. Donald Marshall saw a light beyond it. When he got closer he saw that it was an object with a large rectangular lighted panel that hovered 12 feet off the ground, 200 feet away. The rectangular lighted panel was about 4 feet high and 16 feet long. It appeared to be a large window in the object whose shape was not clearly seen, but was perhaps 50 feet long. A bright spotlight came on, and he saw then three small humanoid figures, the size of ten-year-old children, coming from the machine. They moved very fast, wore green uniforms, and some type of headgear. They disappeared into the darkness, and the craft took off slowly at about 5 mph. It moved at first into a gully, breaking some trees, where it remained for another 3 or 4 minutes. The total time during which Marshall observed the object was 18-19 minutes. Broken trees were found near the site.

Description: (Translated from French) A man in a car suddenly saw a beam of light fall on him from an object located about thirty meters from the ground. Looking at it through the windshield, he saw that the beam had a diameter of 60 to 90 cm and that it was hollow. (Michel BOUGARD: “Des S.V. aux OVNI”. - SOBEPS 1976 - p. 173) Suddenly driving at 100 km/h without knowing why, the car stopped, the headlights went out, the radio went silent. (…) Spargo’s car restarted as suddenly as it had stopped, by what effect? This time Spargo stopped deliberately. He looked up at the sky, but all he saw were stars.

Event 29840 (C096988F)

Date: 11/2/1967
Locations: Navajo ranch; Ririe, Idaho; US Highway 26; Willard Hammon’s farmhouse; Ririe and Rigby, Idaho
Description: 9:30 p.m. Navajo ranch hands Willie Begay and Guy Tossie, both 23, are driving south of Ririe, Idaho, on US Highway 26 when they are blinded by a flash of light. Their car comes to a stop, and immediately in front of them they see an object 6–8 feet in diameter and 3 feet thick, hovering 5 feet off the ground and shaped like two saucers joined together. Around the rim is a row of alternately flashing orange and green lights. On top is a transparent dome, where two small entities are visible. The dome flips open, and one occupant floats out and approaches the car. It is 3 feet tall, bald, with ears set high on its head, round eyes, and a mouth like a slit. It is wearing tight-fitting coveralls and carries a pack on its back. It opens the car door and sits behind the wheel as Begay and Tossie move in horror to the right. The car begins to move as if fastened to the craft into a field of wheat stubble where Tossie gets out and runs toward the farmhouse of Willard Hammon for help, followed by another entity apparently holding a light. Begay stays in the front seat of the car with the first entity, who tries to communicate with him, twice saying something in a high, chirruping voice. The second entity returns, and the two float back to the craft, which rises and departs, a yellow flame-like light coming from the bottom. Hammon lets Tossie inside his farmhouse, where he eventually calms down and tells his story. They go back to the site, where they find Begay in a state of shock in the car. At 11:30 p.m., an anonymous witness driving between Ririe and Rigby, Idaho, sees a landed UFO with a small occupant who stops the car and taps on the side window.

Event 29842 (BC33D5B3)

Date: 11/2/1967
Description: At 9:30 p.m. two 23-year-old Navajo Indians, Guy Tossie and Willy Begay, were driving south of Ririe, Idaho when they were blinded by a flash of white light. Their car engine stalled and came to a stop and immediately ahead of them, hovering just five feet off the ground, they saw a domed disc-shaped UFO 6-8 feet in diameter and perhaps three feet thick. On top was a transparent bubble dome, occupied by two small entities. The dome flipped open and one of the occupants floated out and to the ground, then approached the car. Through the UFO’s flashing lights the men were able to see that the being was no more than three feet tall, and bald with ears set up high on his head. His facial skin looked scarred and wrinkled, “like a cantaloupe.” His eyes were round and showed no pupils, and his mouth had lips so thin as to be barely visible. They saw no nose. He was wearing tight fitting coveralls and carried a pack on his back.

To their horror, the being opened the car door and seated himself behind the wheel. Both of the men slid over to the right as far as they could as the car was towed, or driven, off the highway and out into a field of wheat stubble. As soon as the car’s motion stopped a terrified Tossie jumped out of the right side of the car, and began running to the farmhouse of William Hammon a quarter of a mile away. As he ran, he found his shadow preceding him, as though a bright light were shining on him from behind. In the car, Begay cowered in the right side of the front seat as the little being attempted to communicate with him, twice saying something incomprehensible in a high, chirruping voice. Getting no response, the being got out of the car and joined the second being, and then the two floated into the UFO which took off and zig-zagged into the sky as it departed.

At the Hammon farmhouse Tossie banged on the door screaming for help. The farmer and Bob his son admitted him, and it took a period of time to calm him sufficiently to get his story. By the time they accompanied him back to the field the object had departed and Begay was found in a state of near shock in the front seat. The farmer had to escort the youths by car their fear was so great. There were attendant sightings in the area, and cattle had been reportedly “spooked” on several farms that night.

Event 29861 (2194606F)

Date: 11/6/1967
Location: ENGLAND, Avon - Shopley (Hampshire)
Description: (Translated from French) Between 1 and 2 o’clock in the morning, Carl Farlow was driving a truck loaded with stoves on the part of the A 338 road connecting the villages of Sopley and Avon. He was approaching the intersection near a bridge crossing the Avon River, when the headlights of his van went out. His diesel engine continued to run and assuming a simple short circuit, he stopped to look for the cause of this sudden malfunction. Before he had time to get out of the cab, he was surprised to see a curious ovoid object moving from right to left across the road in front of him, about 7.50m from the ground. It was magenta in color with a white base and was about 24 meters long, large enough to overshadow both sides of the road as it crossed it, exhaling a smell like “a drill bit attacking wood” and making a sound like “that of a refrigerator”. As it crossed the road, the craft gradually accelerated, and after a few seconds it disappeared completely from Farlow’s field of vision. Farlow then realized that a Jaguar that had come from the opposite direction was broken down on the other side of the UFO’s trajectory. Its driver, a veterinarian, approached Farlow and explained that his vehicle was out of service and that his passenger was in a state of hysteria. He then offered to call the police, which they did. The police joined them shortly afterwards. A preliminary inspection of the site revealed that the surface of the road seemed to have melted. The veterinarian’s passenger, in shock, was taken to the hospital.

Description: 1:30 a.m. On a section of the A338 road [now B3347] south of Sopley, Hampshire, England, truck driver Karl Farlow (or Barlow) finds that the lights on his diesel truck have failed. As he pulls over, he sees a glowing, 15-foot-wide, egg-shaped UFO that moves slowly across the road from the right, passes slowly to the left, then speeds up and disappears. The object makes a sound like a refrigerator and gives off a smell like a drill boring through wood. Before it goes away, a Jaguar sports car comes from the opposite direction, and its engine stalls and lights fail. The UFO glows a vivid green color. The diesel engine is not affected. The driver of the Jaguar is a veterinary surgeon, and he and Farlow call the police from a nearby call box. The witnesses note that there are marks on the ground and the road surface seems to have melted. The veterinarian’s girl passenger is taken to a hospital suffering from shock. A week later, Farlow notices that a 200-foot stretch of the road at the encounter site has been completely resurfaced and the call box has been repainted.

Description: Miss Dianne Marable and Mrs. Pearl Robins, nurses, were driving home to Tennessee Ridge and had reached Erin, Tennessee at 11:40 p.m. when they noticed a luminous object in the sky, which they first mistook for the moon. It approached and landed 50 feet in front of them, covering the entire highway. It was dome shaped, in part a fiery orange- yellow color, and in part ash black. Inside the object they could see five dark greenish creatures, four feet tall, “milling about some type of machinery.” After five minutes of watching it, they began to approach more closely but the object then swiftly rose up. It traveled a short distance beside their car, then it landed again in a field. The two women again tried to approach it by driving up a gravel road when its lights when out. They could no longer see it, though they could see a bright red light in the sky. The young women then drove home, where they discovered they had experienced 30 minutes of missing time.

He then calls for the help, in the form of testimonies, of all Soviet citizens for this study which constitutes a real challenge to science. Foreign press correspondents can’t believe their ears. They are unaware that the authorities have refused to transmit the enormous mass of top-secret documents on UFOs to General Stolyarov because it was too important for him. (November 10)

Description: Condon, Low, and editor Harriet Hunter meet to discuss the final University of Colorado report. Condon deliberately excludes the other senior staff because he is now insisting on no old cases and no “case book.” He insists on including everything in which the Colorado project participated in, even phone calls. He wants to write a section on the harm done by irresponsible UFO authors. The meeting ends with a roughed-out list of subject sections and authors. Condon reserves writing the summary and methodology sections himself. He assigns to Hunter the job of selecting which cases are included and how they are written up (perhaps he no longer trusts Low to do this).

A beam of light shoots from it, putting him in a “trance” and pulling him into the craft, where he meets two hideous-looking entities with brown crocodile skin, slits for mouths, and holes for noses and ears. They wear no clothes and have hands with only four fingers. They take Seewaldt’s clothes off and lead him into another room where one studies his hair, eyes, and nose. An orange ceiling light is directed on him and he is given a shot with a small needle. The entities dress him again and beam him back to the field. He runs home in a state of terror and hides under the bed. All conscious memory of the event vanishes until 5 months later, when it returns in a dream. In 1968 he is hypnotically regressed by a Dr. Masson of the University of Alberta.

They looked out a window facing the coastal hills and saw a brilliant metallic disc-shaped object. It landed on a hill opposite the apartment building. The UFO struck and shattered a tree as it came down. Underneath at either end was a red light, and on top was a spinning cupola with slat windows. Three men clad in white coveralls came out of the UFO, which hovered just above the ground. They walked around it side by side with their arms hanging by their sides. After about five minutes they returned to the disc and disappeared underneath it. The two witnesses continued their work and left the building at 2:55 p.m., noticing that the disc was still in the same spot, but by the time they reached a nearby corner the UFO was no longer in view. They had not seen it depart.

Event 29981 (6D4B8E32)

Date: 11/28/1967
Description: At 2:18 a.m. farmer Wilson Gusmao, who had been involved in previous humanoid encounters, was awakened in Alexania, Goias State, Brazil by a telepathic voice that called his name. He got out of bed and upon raising the curtain he noticed a huge bright light resting on the ground about 100 meters from his house. He attempted to wake up his wife but to no avail. He also attempted to get his brother in law to wake up, but with the same negative results. Walking to the living room he could now clearly see a landed object encased in a bright blue glow that was about five meters in diameter. He left a written note to his wife, telling her that he was going to check a landed “spacecraft,” grabbed a flashlight, and walked outside. It was raining very heavily at the time that Wilson approached the UFO, getting to within three meters. A bright beam of light then struck Wilson around the waist, causing him to levitate closer to the object and completely paralyzing him. A door now opened and Wilson could see the inside of the craft clearly. He saw four humanoids, all dressed in tight-fitting coveralls. They wore a belts with large buckles that had what looke like “piano keys” on them. The beings stared at Wilson intently. Wilson somehow felt inferior when the humanoids watched him. He described them as human looking with long blond hair. Their skin appeared porcelain-white, as if they had never been exposed to any sunlight. The leader of the group conversed with Wilson and gave him several messages dealing with nuclear armaments on Earth. Wilson was to have later contacts along with members of the Brazilian defense establishment including General Uchoa.

Event 29984 (48C4415A)

Date: 11/28/1967
Description: At 10:20 p.m. near High River, Alberta, Canada a car radio began fading in and out and the headlights and dashboard lights dimmed. The witness then saw a bluish-green, elongated object to his left. It was quite fuzzy and no details could be made out. He stopped the car and heard a noise like a “jet motor,” only very loud. The object continued traveling on a straight line towards the east and disappeared, whereupon the lights and radio then started operating properly.

Description: (Translated from French) At 8:30 PM (or 2:30 AM) police officer Herbert Schirmer, patrolling at night in his car, encountered a UFO which paralyzed him with a beam and he had a “conversation” with one of the occupants of the craft. (He saw an object with a row of blinking lights. Thinking it was a truck, the policeman “put on his headlights”. The object took off (…) He returned home with a strong headache and heard a buzzing that prevented him from sleeping. He also had a red spot under his left ear) In Boulder (Colorado) he was put into a hypnotic state in order to be questioned about his encounter. It was Dr. Leo Sprinkle, a psychologist at the University of Wyoming, who conducted the hypnosis and the interrogation.

Event 30015 (C2F645BE)

Date: 12/3/1967
Locations: Ashland, Nebraska; US Highway 6; State Route 63; Boulder, Colorado
Description: Early a.m. Police Sgt. Herbert Schirmer checks on restless cattle twice at a barn near Ashland, Nebraska. At 2:30 a.m. he is driving on US Highway 6 when he notices some red lights along State Route 63 that might be a stalled truck. He drives a short distance up that road and stops with his headlights shining on the object. The red lights are blinking through the windows of a disc hovering at a tilt 150 feet away and 6–8 feet above the road. It looks made of shiny, polished aluminum. It ascends slowly with a sort of siren sound and emits a flamelike substance from the bottom. His head sticking out the window, Schirmer watches it pass overhead then shoot up out of sight. He drives back to the police station and writes in the log book, “Saw a flying saucer at the junction of highways 6 and 63. Believe it or not!” He is puzzled to see it is 3:00 a.m. He gets a headache and a buzzing noise in his head. He also has a red welt below one of his ears. In the morning, Chief Bill Wlaskin goes to the site and finds a piece of metal that he shows to Colorado project investigators. It turns out to be composed of iron and silicon. On February 13, 1968, Schirmer is hypnotized in Boulder, Colorado, by R. Leo Sprinkle. During the session he remembers that his car engine and radio failed, and a blurry white object came out of the UFO and communicated with him telepathically. He is taken on board by aliens (who first ask him, “Are you the watchman over this place?”). They are humanoids, 4–5 feet tall with long heads, gray-white skin, and cat-like eyes. They wear silver-gray helmets with small antennas on the left side of the ear area. Their uniforms and gloves are the same color. An unusual feature of this case is the emblem of a winged serpent on the left breast of each entity’s uniform. The Colorado project comes to a predictable conclusion: “Evaluation of psychological assessment tests, the lack of any evidence, and interviews with the patrolmen left project staff with no confidence that the trooper’s reported UFO experience was physically real.” Schirmer undergoes hypnosis again on June 8, 1968, and more details emerge.

Event 30017 (15A6D881)

Date: 12/3/1967
Description: About one-and-a-half hours earlier, at around 2:30 a.m. Central Standard Time, a famous UFO abduction case occurred in Ashland, Nebraska. Mr. Herbert L. Schirmer, a 22-year-old police officer and military veteran, noticed a glow in a nearby paddock while driving his patrol car along a highway. He pulled in to investigate, then his patrol car engine and lights died. He noticed a silver disc about 30 feet in diameter, surrounded by a brilliant orange glow. He remembered that he tried to send a two-way radio message, but an orange and red beam directed at him made it impossible for him to move. He remembered being taken aboard the craft by four aliens about 4.5 to 5 feet tall with slanted eyes. They used language and telepathy to communicate with him. He experienced temporary amnesia for about 30 minutes, followed by headaches and other physiological effects. The case was thoroughly investigated by the Air Force sponsored University of Colorado UFO study, headed by Edward Condon, with mixed conclusions. Hypnosis was used to enhance memory recall, and the two psychological experts called in to evaluate the case developed opposite opinions. One believed the case was a hoax and Mr. Schirmer was a pathological liar, the other felt that Schirmer was totally sincere and found his account convincing.

Date: 12/10/1967
Description: (Translated from French) In a village (France), observation by 3 very close witnesses (35 m), with confirmation by 3 other observers for the arrival phase, of an ellipsoidal object of 10 to 12 m approximately of large axis, and 5 to 6 m of height, which brightly illuminates the ground with a white beam along its descent trajectory, during 1 minute, at a reconstructed speed of the order of 200 km/h during the descent, then 10 km/h during the village flyover, before making 4 to 5 oscillations in “dead leaf” at very low altitude, then landing in the garden of the main witness. The craft is orange-red luminous, it emits “flames” briefly by one end with a crackling noise while the rest of the 2 to 3 minutes of the total observation takes place in silence. One of the witnesses believes to have observed briefly a small character next to the UFO during the brief landing, then the device takes off slowly, inclines and is then seen as a very luminous red ball of 10 to 15 m in diameter which then suddenly leaves towards the starry sky where it disappears as a luminous point. The reconstructed duration of this sudden rise is 4 to 5 s. No trace was found on the ground. (9:45 PM)

(Henry DURRANT: “First Investigations on ET Humanoids” - Laffont 1977 - p. 186) A lady who wishes to remain anonymous had her car stopped by a flying saucer. She was driving towards her house at 7:15 pm with her 5-year-old son in the back seat. Suddenly she saw flashes of light through the windshield. She thought it was a police check. But then she saw an unusual object passing over her car. There were red and green lights, and the object was oval-shaped. The engine slowed down, all the electricity went out, so she stopped barely 40 meters from the first contact. The aerial object remained suspended above the car. Although the radio was not turned on, she heard like a choir, like a group saying the same thing at the same time, in the same tone but in a foreign language. A single voice seemed to speak in English telling her not to be afraid. Then the flying object started to move, and the car too, while the witness was not driving it, over a distance of two miles. When other cars appeared on the road, the UFO left and the witness finally regained normal control of her vehicle.

Her son in the back seat looks immobilized with his eyes “bugged out.” A white beam emanates from the humming object above her and she hears voices in her head saying that her son would not remember this and that a friend of hers has been killed in a car accident. (This turns out to be true.) The car then moves out of the ditch and back onto the road facing the wrong way. She finds that she can control the car again and speeds home.

His sighting precipitated a number of vivid dreams that night, in which he believes he had been “contacted” by the beings aboard the UFO. He also believes that he may have experienced an actual abduction, the memory of which was erased from his mind. There were no details or other evidence of an abduction that the witness was able to provide.

Event 30088 (917E975B)

Date: 12/26/1967
Location: ARGENTINA, Catamarca
Description: (Translated from French) At around 4 in the morning, Jorge Clerici and his wife were returning to Catamarca. They were driving on a deserted road when suddenly the night was pierced by two beams of violet light, which then turned green. Mr. Clerici stopped the car and turned off the headlights. He then saw a UFO about 2 meters in diameter pass by quickly and disappear. They continued on their way. A few kilometers later, the object reappeared and began to fly over the car, only a few meters above it. Completely panicked, Mr. Clerici made a U-turn and drove back to the village of Andalgala which he had just left. The object moved away. Mr. Clerici waited until daybreak before leaving again.

Description: 9:00 p.m. Two people are traveling along a back road in Wells Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, when they see three lights on the horizon. They stop the car as the lights approach. They are attached to a domed disc that is following the road at a height of 300–400 feet. As it approaches to within about 3,000 feet, it makes a banking movement that reveals square, fluorescent panels on the bottom. The dome light in their car turns on spontaneously as the whole bottom of the UFO flashes. The two witnesses get back in their truck and drive on, but the object follows them for a while, then moves off toward Elmira, New York. About 20 minutes later, the parents of one witness experience a power failure in their home on Elmira’s south side.

Event 30101 (DE72CD32)

Date: 1968
Location: GRANDE-BRETAGNE, Stratford
Description: (Translated from French) Two people in a car saw a bright disc in the sky. They slowed down, stopped to get a better look, as it moved in sudden jumps and rapid maneuvers. Finally it descended behind the trees and the witnesses continued on their way. However, on the part of the journey between Burford and Stratford one of the witnesses understood surprising news which she described as “Nature” and “Reality” and which were related to the appearance of this bright disc. After dinner at friends that evening, she went out and saw a strange silhouette and she was seized with a cold panic. It had goat or dog legs, was covered in a silky, dark and shiny fur in the darkness. It was crouching and staring at her with green grape-colored eyes without blinking, slit upwards and without pupils: its eyes shone and it was frightening. It had pointed ears and a long muzzle. If it had stood up it must have been 1.50m tall, its hands and fingers were thin like sticks. The witness went back inside to let her panic pass. She then went to see if the creature was still there: it was but had moved further into the shadows. The witness then did not dare pass near that window for the rest of the evening and linked the appearance of this creature to the observation of the bright disc.

Event 30108 (DA3A42C9)

Date: 1968
Description: UFO skeptic and electrical engineer Philip J. Klass publishes his first UFO book, UFOs—Identified, in which he theorizes that sightings are caused by ball lightning and anomalous free-floating plasmas. Klass’s plasma hypothesis is not well received by anyone on either side of the UFO debate, who note that Klass is using one unverified phenomenon (his hypothetical plasmas) to explain another unverified phenomenon (UFOs). Klass and physicist James E. McDonald engage in a bitter, 18-month-long debate, leveling a variety of charges and accusations at one another. In September 1968, Klass writes to McDonald’s superiors at the US Navy (McDonald is formally retired from the Navy, but often works with the Office of Naval Research), questioning how McDonald could spend so much time on UFO research and still fulfill the requirements for his atmospheric research grant. This does not result in McDonald losing ONR funding, but it does draw some criticism of Klass from members of the UFO community.

Event 30114 (F6389B80)

Date: 1968
Description: M.S. Cahn and G.M. Andrew of Northrop Norair publish a paper on Electroaerodynamics in Supersonic Flow, suggesting Northrop was researching methods to reduce the
drag of an aircraft by creating an electrostatic field around the craft. “Dan Marckus,” a pseudonym for a source in the British aerospace industry, states in 2002 that the Pentagon pulled the paper and “made it disappear.” Marckus suggested the B-2 Spirit utilized an electrostatic field around the aircraft to reduce drag, something that still has not been publicly admitted.

• https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/abs/10.2514/6.1968-24
• http://www.worldcat.org/title/electroaerodynamics-in-supersonic-flow/oclc/456432694
• https://archive.org/details/huntforzeropoint0000cook/page/134/mode/1up (page 134)

Note: “Marckus” suggests early efforts at drag reduction through electrogravitics may have developed into more robust antigravitic programs later, almost assuredly done in the black. He argues the fact that white world research on the issue stops in the 1960s suggests it was advanced.

This method is the same Thomas Townsend Brown proposed in the 1950s (see 1952), what Franklin Mead (see June 1972) at Edwards AFB pursued for decades, what Hal Puthoff (see 2002) suggested a black budget program utilizes, and what Mark McCandlish testified (see 9 May 2001) was used to develop USG recreations of UAP craft.

Note: One of the only open source books discussing electrogravitics for aerospace purposes was authored by Thomas Valone, a former patent examiner at the USPTO and co-founder of the Integrity Research Institute. [rg: Also see books/presentations by physicist Paul Laviolette]

Date: Early 1968
Location: Lüda (now Dalian), Liaoning, China
Description: Four artillerymen stationed at the naval garrison at Lüda [now Dalian], Liaoning, China, see a luminous, gold, oval-shaped object that leaves a thin trail in the air. It climbs steeply at high speed and disappears. When it begins to climb, all communications and radar systems fail, nearly causing an accident in the fleet. The naval patrol goes on alert, and the fleet commander orders his men to prepare for combat. After 30 minutes, comms and radar return to normal. A two-man coast guard patrol allegedly sees the UFO land on the south coast and fires at it with automatic weapons.

The UFO made no noise and had a solid row of red and green lights going on and off in sequence along its midsection. It also had five steady bright white lights spaced evenly along the top section. Linda walked closer just before the UFO rose upm to a higher altitude, levelled off, and then moved away into the distance. She saw a tall man in a dark coat and a dark brimmed hat, who had been standing closer to the object. When she called out to him he turned and ran down the darkened street.

Description: 11:00 p.m. Robert Ballard and his wife Lynn are visiting his parents near Vermillion, South Dakota. Robert goes outside to warm up his car for the trip home. He sees a large object and calls to his father to come outside. They watch a big ball of red and orange fire to the east. At first they think it is the moon and go inside, but as Robert and Lynn are leaving, the object gives off a flash, and one of the dogs begins barking vigorously. They drive toward the object, which seems to be flickering in a field. It seems to be spinning and is 20 feet above the ground, sometimes less. When Ballard turns onto State Highway 50, the UFO, about 30 feet in diameter, starts following them. He accelerates to 60 mph and the object jumps to just behind their car. At one point it is hovering only 3 feet above an intersection. It keeps following them at telephone height, even though Ballard speeds up to 110 mph. After another car goes by them, the object speeds up and heads straight toward them from behind. Soon it rises and disappears to the east.

Event 30166 (FEF59A86)

Date: 1/21/1968
Locations: Thule Air Base, Greenland; Savannah River plant in South Carolina; Pantex, in Amarillo, Texas; Danish Institute for International Studies
Description: A fire breaks out in the navigator’s compartment of a USAF B-52 near Thule Air Base, Greenland. The bomber crashes 7 miles from the air base, causing the non-nuclear explosives aboard to detonate and rupturing and dispersing its nuclear payload of four hydrogen bombs carried on an ongoing (since 1960) Operation Chrome Dome alert mission to deter a Soviet nuclear first strike. The recovery and decontamination effort is complicated by Greenland’s harsh weather. Contaminated ice and debris are buried at the Savannah River plant in South Carolina. Bomb fragments are recycled by Pantex, in Amarillo, Texas. The incident causes outrage and protests in Denmark. USAF Strategic Air Command Chrome Dome operations are discontinued immediately after the accident, which highlights the safety and political risks of the missions. Safety procedures are reviewed and more stable explosives are developed for use in nuclear weapons. A BBC News report in 2008 seems to confirm through declassified documents and interviews with those involved that one nuclear bomb was lost. However, the Danish Institute for International Studies concludes in August 2009 that there is no missing bomb and that the US underwater operation was a search for the uranium-235 of the fissile core of a secondary, a small object one half meter long. For the first time, the report is able to present an estimate of the amount of plutonium contained in the pits of the primaries.

Event 30180 (27003576)

Date: 1/24/1968
Description: John Everhart was driving home in Indiana, Pennsylvania at 3:30 p.m. when he saw a round, saucer-shaped object with a dull aluminum finish hovering over a pond some 100-200 feet away. Its top section was transparent, and he could see two men, normal in every appearance, wearing light gray coveralls inside. He could also see levers and little lights as might appear on a computer. Under hypnosis he remembered “hearing” them talk, perhaps telepathically. They were engaged in fixing something and hurried when they saw him watching them. In a subsequent hypnotic session he recalled being led into the UFO by a slender man in black. Inside were four seats on pedestals, and the light inside the craft was so bright that it hurt his eyes. He was sent by elevator into the room where the repairs were going on. The men spoke to each other in English. He was instructed to sit in a chair that rendered him immobile. There was a time lapse in his memory of several hours between his leaving work and his returning home. This case is apparently an early abduction report describing apparently normal human-looking abductors. No further hypnotic regression sessions were attempted.

Event 30183 (63306B8D)

Date: Late 1/1968
Location: URUGUAY, Torres
Description: (Translated from French) Axel Aberg was on the beach around 11 pm when he saw, astonished, a luminous craft emerge from the sea in a shower of water. The object approached the beach and stopped about twenty meters away from him. A luminous beam shot out from it and the witness felt as if he was paralyzed. As if in a nightmare, he saw two beings appear standing next to the UFO. Their height exceeded two meters and one was taller than the other. They seemed to be made of crystal, they moved stiffly as if they had no joints or were mummified. (Jean-Marie DOUCHET - Nostra - 20.11.1979) (…) (1968, late January)

Event 30185 (10D5925D)

Date: 1/25/1968
Description: (Translated from French) In the Mediterranean, the French submarine Minerve disappears with 52 men in the vicinity of Toulon. Searches are undertaken, and a metal mass is detected by sonar at a point however very far from the route that the Minerve should have followed. Only a sandy and hilly terrain is found, without any wreckage. A little later, an echo is detected more precisely south of Cape Cépet. It is again a metal mass, located at 134 m deep and measuring about 8 m wide and 60 m long. This could be a submarine. Moreover, the mass was on the route of the Minerve. But, despite the searches undertaken, including with Commander Cousteau’s diving saucer, nothing more is found than the carcass of a cargo ship. A little later still, a new echo is received by sonar and located 1.8 km northwest of the first, without anything being discovered. The searches last in all 5 days and occupy half of the total means of the French Navy in the Mediterranean. Rear Admiral Storelli, commander of the submarine forces, confirms that the French Navy has no new element and that it is in absolute ignorance of what could have happened, given the quality of the men, beyond reproach, and of the material. On the other hand, the Minerve had been checked as is done at each change of commander and it was in perfect condition.

Event 30186 (3E880C2D)

Date: 1/25/1968
Description: At eleven o’clock at night, Dr. Axel Aberg Cobo, a Professor of Human Relations and Journalism, was walking along the beach in the town of Torres, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil when a silver colored, luminous object emerged from the ocean only 25 yards away from him. He felt as though he was paralyzed. Shortly, two men over six feet tall, “who looked as though they were made of crystal,” walked up to him stiffly, without bending their knees. He felt as if they were communicating with him telepathically. They greeted him by touching shoulders, and one of the beings, which had introduced himself as “Rubinako,” said to him, “Krebs, Navis, Karsicujo and Krero.” Only partially paralyzed, Cobo noted these words, writing them down with a ballpoint pen on his bare arms. They next told him they would meet him again in Mar Del Plata, Argentina. He had a vague recollection that the craft took off vertically.

The men acted nervous and seemed surprised that she lived there alone. They finally left disappearing down a nearby footpath. They seemed to have no obvious means for getting on or off the island, and she completely disbelieved their story that they were from the public utility.

Location: ACORES-PORTUGAL, Criaçao do Cabrito, Terceira
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Serafim Sebastiao, married, 36 years old, security guard in a military installation was working that night and noticed that the radio receiver was not functioning properly. He went outside and saw an oval-shaped object, of metallic appearance with, on the upper part, a “glass tower”. He first saw two humanoids. He stepped back to get a different view and then saw that there were two more, making a total of four: two inside the craft and two outside. When the witness directed his flashlight towards them, all he saw was that they seemed to be dressed in lead. He heard a sound like that of a bee hive. The object had a diameter of 6 m and a height of 3 m. The witness does not know how the two entities on the ground got into the craft which then took off at a lightning speed, enveloping the witness in an immense light beam, then in “fumigations” or gases which left him unconscious, just at the moment he decided to call for reinforcement by radio. It was there, at 5 o’clock in the morning, that he was found, still unconscious. He had to be hospitalized for 5 days. (1968, night of January 31st to February 1st)

Description: McDonald sends Low a 7-page, single-spaced letter, citing Condon’s negative statements, his preoccupation with crackpot elements, Condon’s failure to conduct any investigations himself, the lack of communication between Low and Condon and the active investigators, and the failure of the project to take seriously any assertions of cover-up. He mentions Low’s memorandum, saying “I am rather puzzled by the viewpoints expressed there.” He concludes: “I am not opposed to negative findings—on UFOs or other scientific questions; what bothers me is that it appears that these negative findings were being adumbrated as early as January 1966, and perhaps even earlier.” He sends a copy to the project’s open files.

Looking around, he sees an oval metallic object surmounted by a transparent tower on top of which is a small balustrade on which two beings are leaning. The silhouettes of two more beings are visible in the tower. The object is hovering above a munitions dump. Serafim phones one of the other sentries then shines his flashlight on the machine. As he does so, the men on the tower see him. The object emits a cloud of gaseous dust that overpowers him. When his colleague finds him a few minutes later, the object has vanished.

Description: Felix Ziegel, Soviet cosmologist and assistant professor at the Moscow Aviation Institute, Russia, writes an article on UFOs for Soviet Life with reports supplied by Novosti. He mentions four UFO reports and concludes that they could be extraterrestrial in origin. He thinks the 1908 Tunguska event is a remarkable UFO case and reveals that the USSR established a “UFO Section of the All-Union Cosmonautics Committee” in October 1967. Ziegel soon afterwards receives a letter from Edward Condon, the director of the University of Colorado UFO Project, suggesting that the Soviet and the American groups should cooperate, starting with an information exchange. Ziegel and 12 other members of his group sign a letter requesting the Soviet government to create a state-sponsored organization that would coordinate all the UFO research in the country. Next month he receives an official negative response.

The metallic oval object was topped by a transparent “tower” with a small balustrade against which two of the beings were leaning. The other two could be seen as silhouettes inside the transparent tower. After telephoning another sentry he approached and shone his flashlight on the craft. He was enveloped in smoke emitted by the UFO and fell to the ground in a faint, where the other sentry found him a few minutes later.

Event 30221 (BF030B93)

Date: 2/4/1968
Locations: Redlands, California; Columbia Street; Colton Avenue; Norton AFB; San Bernardino; March AFB; Riverside County
Description: 7:20 p.m. About 200 residents of Redlands, California, see or hear a huge, low-flying, disc-shaped object as it passes overhead. The UFO is about 50 feet in diameter, with seven lights on its base emitting bright orange flame. Some 8–10 other lights on its rim alternate red and green, giving the impression that the object is rotating. A minister recording his sermon captures a high-pitched, modulated, whining sound from the UFO on tape. The UFO apparently descends just west of Columbia Street and north of Colton Avenue, then proceeds to the northwest for about a mile at an altitude of 300 feet. Coming to a stop, it hovers briefly, jerks forward, hovers again, then shoots straight up in a burst of speed. The object is not detected on radar at Norton AFB [now closed] near San Bernardino or March AFB [now March Air Reserve Base] in Riverside County. An investigation is conducted for APRO by four University of Redlands faculty: Philip Seff (geology), Judson Sanderson (math), Reinhold Krantz (math), and John Brownfield (art). They conclude that the object is not attributable to any known phenomenon or aircraft, but that the recorded sound comes from an emergency vehicle.

Description: Low summons Saunders to Condon’s office, asking him if he knew McDonald had a copy of the memo. Saunders said yes, and didn’t think he needed to alert anyone, since McDonald is a friend of the project. Condon says, “For an act like that, you deserve to be ruined professionally!” Saunders avoids admitting he was responsible (indirectly) for McDonald’s having the memo. When Norm Levine arrives, Saunders is ordered to leave. Levine tells him the memo’s release is a group effort. Condon tells Levine not to discuss this meeting or communicate further with McDonald. Levine says he can’t do that, Condon tells him he is no longer useful, and Levine walks out. Condon and Low meet with other staff members the rest of the day.

Event 30229 (D0CE1D72)

Date: 2/9/1968
Location: USA, Groveton, Missouri
Description: (Translated from French) At 3:20 a.m. the farmer heard his cows mooing in the field near the house, as if something was frightening them. He rushed to the window and saw, a hundred meters away in the dark night, a bright light of such luminosity that he could move around inside without turning on the lamp and outside he saw his animals in a semi-circle to the left of the light. It was an enormous circular craft, and the greenish light came from the concave side. Its apparent size was 30 cm, it remained stationary 6 or 7 meters from the ground, in the middle there were 7 openings or portholes which in real dimensions must have been between 60 and 75 cm in diameter. The cows were standing 30 to 60 meters from the craft and some were looking towards the object. And then, suddenly, one of the cows turned around and ran, tail in the air, towards the barn, the others followed. In a few seconds the field was empty. Throughout the time there was a noise (…) like the whistling of a piece of iron spinning, but it was also jerky at the same time. At the moment of departure this noise became louder and the jerks more rapid. It left quickly towards the southwest at an angle of 45° without ever changing its horizontal position.

Description: 12:00 midnight. Teenagers Richard Frombach, Boone Powers, and Chris Beachner are parked next to a pond in a gravel pit near Vashon, Washington, when they notice a glowing oval object resting on a hill to the east. They drive into town to pick up an additional witness, Joseph Frabush, and return to the area, park on the main road, and walk into the pond area. The object has moved to the east. Frabush thinks it is metallic and about 30 feet long. They drive back into town for more witnesses, but when they return the light is gone and the 100-foot pond is completely frozen over. Temperatures in the area have been above freezing for several days. Small puddles and mud patches surrounding the pond are not frozen at all. The pond ice is dry, even though it has been raining all night. Investigators find that the ice is 3 inches thick in some spots, composed of 2–5 layers, and riddled with bubbles filled with air and dirt.

Event 30259 (982FA14F)

Date: 2/19/1968
Location: Bengough, Saskatchewan
Description: 11:55 a.m. Martha Heggs is in her farmhouse kitchen about 10 miles west of Bengough, Saskatchewan. She hears a high-pitched whine that has such a penetrating intensity it is similar to a mild electric shock, causing a tingling sensation throughout her body. Looking out, she sees an object 300 feet away circling around a pole with an electric transformer on it. The object is shaped like two saucers edge-to-edge, surmounted by a dome with 6–7 ports, rounded at the top and extending straight down to the base of the dome. These ports are indented and white in color, resembling frosted glass. The saucers are about 8 feet wide and the dome about 4 feet wide. The body of the object looks like dull aluminum. There is a smaller, vented structure on top of the dome and an antenna on top of that. When the object first appears, a dog is seen cowering and lying in the snow, trying to cover its ears with its paws. Sixteen head of cattle, loose in the farmyard, bolt when the object moves into the area. They enter the cattle sheds and do not emerge until at least 30 minutes after the object disappears. The object moves about the farmyard, sometimes hovering, its altitude ranging from 3 feet to 20 feet. After 20 minutes, still 9–12 feet above the ground, the object leaves the farm through a windbreak and moves north until lost to view.

Event 30266 (16B129D0)

Date: 2/21/1968
Description: At eleven o’clock that night Miss Amato, a 12-year-old girl, heard a “bloop-bloop” noise outside her bedroom window and looked out her window at the abandoned Winsted, Connecticut railroad station behind her family’s house. She saw a white egg-shaped UFO, a little larger than a station wagon, hovering close to the ground beside the building and railroad tracks. A short beam of light came out of the craft, pointed downward at an angle like a ramp, and 15-20 little men about three feet tall walked down the light beam in single file and jumped from the end of the beam to the ground. They were dressed in dull silver coveralls and wore fishbowl-type helmets. They proceeded to climb up the side of the station, one after another, with a hand over hand movement as if they were swimming or had suction cups on their hands. When they reached the roof, they spread out in different directions and appeared to be interested in looking down inside the building through a skylight. The girl became frightened at this point and went to bed, covering her head with the bedcovers. The building was being used as a storage site for ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

Event 30283 (54BA9C69)

Date: 2/27/1968
Locations: Bideford; Cullompton, Devon, England
Description: 6:55 p.m. Truck driver Andrew Perry is driving from Bideford to Cullompton, Devon, England, when he sees a bright light appear at the crest of a hill. As he gets closer, he sees the light is coming from a mushroom- shaped object. As he reaches about 900 feet away from the object, he stops the truck and climbs to the top of the cab to get a better view. He sees about 4–5 figures about 4 feet tall spread out around the object. Suddenly they scramble toward the UFO and disappear inside. The object emits a high-pitched whirring sound that causes his truck to vibrate. Perry gets upset and climbs back into the truck, driving it fast down the road. Meanwhile, the UFO has risen about 200 feet into the air and is passing above his truck, making a noise so loud he can’t hear the engine running. Suddenly the truck engine cuts out. A few seconds later, the noise stops and Perry sees the UFO moving away in the distance. He drives to the nearest police station to report the incident.

Event 30290 (396AD9B6)

Date: 3/1968 (approximate)
Location: BOLIVIA, Otoko (Uyuni)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 6:00 PM, Valentina Flores went out to bring in the flock of sheep and llamas that were grazing a kilometer away. She had just finished locking up the sheep and was returning with the llamas when she noticed that the enclosure she had carefully closed was open and a kind of net was covering it. Inside the enclosure she saw a small man about 1.10 m tall, busy killing her sheep with a large tube with a hook at the end. Thinking it was a sheep thief, she threw stones at him. Then the strange creature headed towards a box resting on four legs, resembling a radio: he turned a wheel on the top of the post and it quickly absorbed all the net stretched over the enclosure. Mrs. Flores armed herself with a stick and approached to punish the thief. But he advanced towards her with the same instrument that had been used to bleed the sheep, throwing it several times against her, inflicting slight cuts on her arms. Each time the instrument returned to his right hand, like a boomerang. Then the humanoid picked up the box that had absorbed the net and a kind of plastic bag containing the viscera of the killed animals. The creature wore a helmet with a visor topped with a rod about 3 cm long, double-curved in the shape of an S. He wore a dark suit, his legs tucked into thick boots that seemed to be lined. On his back he carried a bag with sharp angles held by two wide, thick, light straps crossed over his chest. A rigid rod came out of the bag. Holding the net device in one hand and the viscera bag in the other, two large tubes emerged from under the backpack, on the side, until they touched the ground. Then the little man began to rise into the air and then, accelerating his ascent with an extraordinary whistling noise, he finally disappeared. The alerted police soon arrived: they noted the loss of 34 sheep and on each of the corpses small sections of the digestive tube and organs had been taken. (Henry DURRANT: “First Investigations on ET Humanoids” - Laffont 1977 - p. 98, 99 which dates from March) Mrs. Valentina Flores was busy in the kitchen when she heard her sheep stirring, etc… (1968, March (May 14?))

Event 30296 (1399EC07)

Date: 3/1968
Description: The Defense Intelligence Agency monitors a crashed “circular metal disc” recovered in Nepal. Four months later, a State Dept. cable subject line “Moon Dust” (referring to a covert USAF Project Moon Dust at the time to recover space debris) writes to the DIA, 1127th at Ft. Belvoir, WPAFB, Andrews AFB and MacDill AFB that a diplomatic visit to Kathmandu was a “fishing expedition” for info on “space objects.”

Another cable shows the Royal Nepali Army showed photos of four space objects to U.S. officials, and Nepal’s defense secretary asked the U.S. if it had determined the origin of one object. A possible cover story of a crashed satellite is given, despite NORAD and NASA data showing the Cosmos 208 satellite launched in March 1968 was a success.

• https://www.dia.mil/FOIA/FOIA-Electronic-Reading-Room/FileId/161544/ (p55, p57, p104).
• https://www.archives.gov/files/declassification/iscap/pdf/2009-068-doc212.pdf (p2)
• https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=1968-022A

Note: The presence of the 1127th on the cable corroborates the USAF document “AFCIN-1E-0 Draft Policy” dated 13 November 1961 that states the 1127th Field Activities Group at Ft.
Belvoir had responsibility for recovery of foreign space vehicles under Projects Moon Dust, Blue Bly and UFO. That document distinguishes UAP recovery from crashed Soviet/Bloc vehicles and describes the need for quick reaction teams. The above cable suggests the 1127th monitored and possibly attempted to retrieve the circular metal disc in Nepal.

Note: The presence of MacDill AFB on the cable is potentially significant because the location is linked to rumors of housing four reverse engineered flying disc craft with tail fins witnessed by ret. USAF pilot Warren Botz in 1966 and journalist Jack D. Pickett in 1967. Curiously, 18 years earlier, a NACA (predecessor to NASA) employee saw a disc with tail fin in Oregon cataloged by Project Grudge.

Locations: Columbia, Tennessee; Knud Drive
Description: 8:30 p.m. Several witnesses are traveling east on Knud Drive in Columbia, Tennessee, when they notice a large rectangular object approaching them silently from behind. When they stop the car, the object is directly overhead and moving east. It has hundreds of small, dimly lit points of light in 5–6 rows on its base. Witness Norman E. Bryant thinks it is 1,000 feet long, 250 feet wide, and flying at an altitude of 2,000 feet. It passes them in a matter of seconds.

Locations: Glossop, Derbyshire, England; British Aerospace
Description: 9:00 p.m. A man is driving his new Triumph Spitfire up a country lane near Glossop, Derbyshire, England, when two golden objects shoot over the top of his car, killing his headlights, radio, and engine. Moments after the objects pass to the north, the headlights come back on, but the radio still fails. He is able to restart his car engine after the lights come on. A BUFORA investigator takes the radio to his workplace at British Aerospace and finds that two key transistors have burned out, seemingly due to a power surge. Once the transistors are replaced, the radio works again.

Date: 3/4/1968
Description: Ricardo Castillo Trujillo, a janitor, saw a long, very bright UFO at 1:45 a.m. making a noise like an electric motor. It landed in an isolated section of Valparaiso, Chile and two crew members emerged. They were dressed in aluminum colored uniforms. Although he could tell they were light-skinned, he could not make out any facial details. Speaking in strange echo-like voices, they asked him about his nearsightedness, promising him that the condition would be cured. “I didn’t understand them too good,” he said, “but the fact is that I can see real good now, and without glasses.” The humanoids promised to return for the witness.

Date: 3/8/1968
Location: PORTUGAL, Coimbra
Description: (Translated from French) At 04:00, a group of ten students were awoken at the university residence by Mr. A. Branco Rodriguez from the Chemistry department. They observed for five minutes an orange, slow-moving object. It alternated between round, like the sun, and triangular with what seemed to be helicopter blades at the ends. It then took an elongated shape before disappearing towards Figueira da Foz. Photos were taken: on one of the photos the object resembled the cone of the Apollo capsule, and on another a shape like an egg was seen resting on a plate. (1968, 8 March)

Event 30332 (49F9DBC4)

Date: 3/10/1968
Locations: Opoco; Uyuni, Bolivia
Description: 6:00 p.m. Valentina Flores is bringing in her llamas on her farm between Opoco and Uyuni, Bolivia, when she discovers that her sheep pen is covered with a net made of some plastic-like material, and that inside the pen is a helmeted being, 3.5 ft tall, who is engaged in killing her sheep using a tubular instrument with a hook on the end. Flores throws stones at the being, whereupon he walks over to an instrument resembling a radio and, moving a wheel on it, quickly absorbs all the netting. The woman approaches the pen with a cudgel, upon which the being throws its instrument at her several times; it returns to him like a boomerang, after it inflicts superficial cuts on her arms. The entity picks up the machine, which has absorbed the net as well as a bag containing sheep entrails, and puts them into a rucksack on his back. Two legs emerge from the rucksack and extend down to the ground, at which time the entity rises straight up into the air with an extraordinary sound and vanishes. 34 sheep are found dead; from every one, “certain small portions of the digestive organs were missing.”

Location: FRANCE, Malataverne (Montélimar - Drôme)
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Manselon, 37 years old, operating a small quarry, was returning around 7:50 PM from the hut where an employee was stopping the generator. Still lost in his thoughts, the witness walked with his head down. Suddenly a bright light made him look up and immediately he felt immobilized: he tried to back away, in vain, to advance: in vain. To call out: impossible, no sound came out of his mouth. In front of him there was a kind of luminous barrel, 1.50 m from the ground. It was 2 m high and 1.50 m wide. It was a very bright white but not dazzling. Two very bright antennas topped it: the object was 5 or 6 m from the witness. However, the upper edge was indistinct and blurred: the object did not light up around it. He stayed facing this thing for a minute, then it rose slowly vertically. As it rose, the witness was more relaxed. When it reached 8 or 10 m in altitude, the thing tilted and went out. He saw nothing more, heard nothing more, felt nothing more: he was scared and started to tremble. He ran towards the hut but the employee there had not noticed anything

Date: 3/19/1968
Location: Beallsville, Ohio
Description: 8:30 p.m. 12-year-old Gregory L. Wells is walking toward the trailer home of his parents in Beallsville, Ohio, when he sees an oval-shaped, bright red object hovering above some nearby trees and illuminating the road. It has a band of dimmer red lights around its midsection. Suddenly a big tube emerges from the object and moves around until it is pointed at him. A light beam shoots out and hits the upper part of his arm, knocking him down. His jacket catches fire and he rolls around, screaming with fright. His mother and grandmother come out to help, and they both see the red UFO, which just fades away after 10 minutes. The boy is taken to a hospital and treated for second-degree burns. His scars are still visible three months later.

Event 30351 (70EF23AD)

Date: 3/19/1968
Description: At 8:30 p.m. ten-year-old Gregory L. Wells was returning from his grandmother’s house to his own home next door, when he saw a red oval-shaped UFO hovering just over some trees. The large red object was so bright that it illuminated the road. It had a band of dimmer red lights flashing around its center. “I stopped,” Gregory recalled. “I wanted to run or scream but suddenly a big tube came out of the bottom, which moved from side to side until it came to me, and a beam of light shot out.” Gregory turned away as the light beam hit the upper part of his arm, knocking him to the ground. His jacket caught fire and the boy rolled around on the ground screaming with fright. Both his mother and grandmother responded. Mrs. James Wells, the boy’s mother, also reported seeing the UFO, which “just faded away.” During the sighting a large street light on a nearby pole went out and the dog barked uncontrollably. The burning jacket resulted in second-degree burns that required medical attention.

Description: Two prospectors, Ed Sampson and Bill Johnson, are sleeping in the Anza Borrego Desert, California, when they wake up at the sound of an explosion. The sky above is filled with a fading red light, and they see flashes on the western horizon. The two climb to the crest of a hill and look down. Sampson sees a “red, circular flying saucer” hovering over the valley, while entities with glowing red eyes march in single file close to the ridge of an adjacent canyon. Something like a church bell rings out at intervals, and mechanical clanking is also audible. After noticing two glowing-eyed creatures standing behind them, they take off running.

Description: At 1:15 a.m. a 22-year-old mechanic riding a motorbike between Fos-sur-Mer and Port Saint Louis in Arles, France observed a UFO descend and land near a power transformer. An opening appeared in the base of the object and a bright white light shone out from it. Then a human-looking entity emerged and descended to the ground on a kind of ramp. He wore something resembling a security guard’s uniform with a “rolled collar.” The suit was light colored and brilliant, and appeared woven with heavy stitches. The man’s hair was in a crew-cut and was very light blond or white in color. The UFOnaut examined the ground around him and then noticed the witness, whom he watched for a moment before re-entering the object. The UFO took off gently with a gust of cool air.

Event 30386 (FCFDC236)

Date: 4/3/1968
Description: (Translated from French) In Cochrane (Wisconsin), 2 witnesses (including an air hostess) observe a UFO for 5 to 10 minutes. Excerpt from the air hostess’s account: …This thing came up from the bottom of the hill, very, very fast, and in a very uniform way, as if it was sliding, but it was lower than an airplane, and it came gliding to stop above this car [a car that had just passed the witness’s]. Then its lights went out [those of the other car] and I stopped, thinking there was a young person driving. Since it had turned everything off, I didn’t want to hit it. And meanwhile my headlights were dimming a bit, but I didn’t pay attention until everything went out in my car: the engine, the headlights and the radio. That happened when it [the UFO] released that car to go back up the road… up above us. It had made a descent from the other car, and it was very low. When I wanted to look at it through the windshield I had to lean on the wheel and turn; I looked up and it was there, above us - and the car was completely stopped. I had opened the window of the door when the lights of the other car went out and it was still open, but I heard absolutely nothing. The object had a triangle shape, like those little triangles of dough that you roll to make croissants. It was orange-red, like the light on a beautiful St. Martin’s summer, very colorful… When it was just above us, I tried to restart the car, I tried, I tried, but as long as that thing stayed above us I couldn’t make it go, it wouldn’t even turn 1/4 of a turn. I turned the key, and it went “ouah” and then nothing at all, it was like the battery was dead… When that thing was there, you heard absolutely nothing, not even the lively noise of nature, it was a strangely worrying calm. And then I remember that I had become light, airy, a bit like in an airplane when it goes down in an air pocket, I felt light as air, without gravity. Then it went down behind us, on my side, and it went to fly over a field near a farm that is there. It moved smoothly, without jerks. Finally, when it released the car, it left with a jolt. I turned the ignition key and the engine started, I was able to start the car, so I kept my foot on the accelerator and I arrived in Cochrane. I saw it passing over the railway and going away slowly. A good while after, my feet were still burning, when I got out of the car, it seemed to me that they were bathing in a source of dry heat. (April 3, 8:10 PM)

Description: On this afternoon at around 1:45 p.m. Mrs. Mabel Walch and her nephew, John were driving toward Newport by the shore of one of the Narrabeen Lakes in New South Wales, Australia. They saw a strange creature standing near the road in shallow water. The being was just over four feet tall and had a tough leathery dark gray skin, like an elephant. Its legs were round and thick. Its arms, or forelegs, were small, and as they watched it ambled out of the water with “a strange shuffling walk, but quite fast.” They only saw it briefly before it ran into the scrub. Mrs. Walch said “it’s head reminded me of an anteater’s trunk.” The chin or probiscus was rigid and squared off at the end, and “stuck down and out at an angle.” It had no ears nor a tail, but it had small eyes.

Event 30449 (C6EE5786)

Date: Early 5/1968
Locations: Chascomús; Maipú, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mexico City; Argentine embassy in Mexico City
Description: Night. Gerardo Vidal and his wife are driving home from Chascomús to Maipú, Buenos Aires, Argentina. They are just outside Chascomús when their car is enveloped in a thick green fog. The next thing they know they are driving on a road near Mexico City in broad daylight, 4,400 miles to the northwest. Their watches have stopped, and they discover that two days have passed. They visit the Argentine embassy in Mexico City, where Vidal calls a relative in Maipú to report that they are well. However, a June 4, 1968, Reuters dispatch from Mexico City contains a denial of the incident by the Argentine embassy, and subsequent inquiries can find no one in Maipú that could be the Vidals. Finally, in October 1998 Argentine film director Aníbal Uset admits to researcher Roberto E. Banchs that he had invented the Chascomús teleportation as a publicity stunt to spread a fantastic story based on the plot of his upcoming film Ché OVNI. The movie’s poster even shows a UFO carrying off an automobile.

Both wore dark “neat” coveralls, as if they were brand new. One of the men was about 20 years old, and he seemed to hide behind the other man as the witness approached them. The younger man stared intently at the woman during the conversation she had with the older man, and only spoke once. She continued to be mystified about how they were coming and going from her remote island location.

Event 30453 (1715D04D)

Date: 5/3/1968
Description: During the evening hours of the night of May 2nd-3rd Miss Shane Kurz, a 19-year-old woman, had watched a luminous cigar-shaped object in the sky for two hours from her home in Westmoreland, New York. It moved in her direction, stopped, then shot straight upward into the sky, turning red in color as it did so. At four o’clock in the morning her mother came into her room and found her lying on top of her bedsheets with her robe and slippers on; both were covered with dried mud, as were her legs. Earlier in the night her mother had found her missing from her bedroom and the door open.

Ms. Kurz stayed out of school for the next two days because of depression and recurrent nightmares. Her eyes were causing her pain, and two reddish ring-shaped marks appeared on her lower abdomen. Her menstrual cycle stopped after this incident and did not return again for a year. Later under hypnosis she remembered that she went outdoors in response to hearing her name called, and saw a saucer with windows and a revolving rim hovering close to the ground. It approached her and lifted her inside with a beam of light, after which she found herself in a bare white room. A man shorter than her, with no nose, wearing what looked like a dark “motorcycle jacket” and another being, a “doctor” in a long coat, forced her onto an exam table. He inserted a long needle into her navel. A third being, the “leader,” next entered the room. The UFOnauts all had very “penetrating” eyes with no pupils. They said to her, “We’ve watched you. You’re the one. We want you as a mate.” He also said that they came “from very, very far.” The others went out and the leader proceeded to undress her and then rape her. He told her she would not remember. She was floated down to the ground again by a light beam.

Event 30455 (F596C91C)

Date: 5/5/1968
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Vidal regains his senses. It is day and, as he does not know the region, he asks a peasant for the route to Buenos Aires. The peasant, taken aback, gently suggests to him that perhaps he is looking for Mexico? Mr. Vidal must come to terms with the fact that he and his wife are in Mexico, and 48 hours after their disappearance. That is to say, about 7500 km away from the place where their car entered the cloud, their last memory. Mr. Vidal then takes a closer look at the 403: the black paint of the bodywork has disappeared, as if it had been removed with a blowtorch. It must have been subjected to a very high temperature. Mrs. Vidal regains her senses a little later and almost has a nervous breakdown: But, then, what have they done to us during these two days? In whose hands were we? When the couple returns to Argentina, their friends sigh with relief, having thought it was an accident. It is materially impossible for the couple to have made the Buenos Aires-Mexico journey in 48 hours: they would have had to cross all of South America, Central America, on roads, paths and tracks barely paved and, at an average speed of 160 km/h.

Event 30458 (FF3BDAFA)

Date: 5/5/1968
Description: Jerome Clark and three other young men had driven to visit a rural site on a highway between Fargo and Kindred, North Dakota where a “ghost light” had been recently reported. They spotted a nocturnal light and had been chasing it, more or less fruitlessly, in their car. When it re-appeared at 1:45 a.m. it loomed up in front of them, and against its reddish orange light they could see the silhouette of a huge figure gliding toward them. They took off in fear in their automobile, but when they looked again from a side road the silhouetted figure was still visible and still moving towards them. This time they drove several miles before stopping.

Estabrooks, a Canadian-American psychologist and former consultant for the FBI and CIA, tells the Providence Evening Bulletin that the key to developing an effective spy or assassin is by creating a multiple personality with the aid of hypnosis, a procedure he describes as “child’s play.” Estabrooks suggests that Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby could have been controlled in this manner. “This has and is being done. I have done it. It is child’s play now to develop a multiple personality through hypnotism.”

Event 30477 (FA7206B9)

Date: 5/17/1968
Location: BRAZIL, between Florianopolis and Laguna
Description: (Translated from French) At 8:45 PM, in a VW minibus, José Da Silva, the driver, and passengers Manuel Gonzalez, Flavio and Moises were driving with the windows closed because it was raining and the radio was on. Suddenly they saw a bright light and a noise like the sound of an electric drill. At the same time the van was lifted and held in the air (estimated height of 50 cm from the ground) for a moment, after which it fell and was immediately lifted again and placed with less force. After stopping they saw in front of them at 100 m altitude a strange intensely bright craft that suddenly accelerated and stopped at 500m. Frightened, the witnesses did not take their eyes off the thing: it was circular, appearing to be no more than 2 m in diameter, on the lower part several openings like portholes, through which indefinable movements passed. A reddish light seemed to rotate around the upper part. The UFO remained motionless for a few minutes, tilted and flew very quickly towards the sea. A truck driver arrived who had seen it all from a distance. The two vehicles did not leave each other until they reached their destination. Secondary effects: Moises was vomiting, Gonzalez had lost all the hair from his eyebrows and was suffering from itching, Da Silva who had a thick head of hair, became bald in less than a year. On the roof of the minibus a round burn with blisters of broken paint in the center.

Date: 5/17/1968
Location: Caconde, São Paulo, Brazil
Description: 5:00 a.m. Caetano Sergio dos Santos is returning home from his job as a night watchman at Caconde, São Paulo, Brazil. In the courtyard of his house he sees a cylinder-shaped object, about the size of a powdered-milk can, stuck in the ground. At each end are dials, one with a black band, the other with a red one. They are encased under a glass or plastic lens with embossed figures arranged in a semicircle. Above each figure is something like an Arabic numeral. Dos Santos takes the object into the house and studies it for 90 minutes, then puts it on a windowsill in the bathroom before going to bed. He goes back to work, then at about 1:00 a.m., he returns home and notices that the object is lighting up the house, with his wife and son, very agitated, standing outside with neighbors. She tells him that a loud buzzing and intense heat had wakened her, both emanating from the object. Dos Santos goes inside and finds a hole in the roof, tile scattered over the floor, and the object gone.

Event 30483 (EB6CF554)

Date: 5/17/1968
Description: At 8:45 p.m. Jose Da Silva, the driver of a VW minibus, and three passengers were listening to the radio under a light rain while driving between Florianopolis and Lagune, Santa Catalina State, Brazil when they suddenly heard a whirring sound and noticed a diffused light over the road. Suddenly the van rose up in the air about 50 centimeters and stayed there for a moment before coming down and again rising up in the air before it was set down on the road again, this time more slowly. The four men then noticed an intensely luminous circular object hovering overhead at about 100 meters altitude. Frightened, they watched from the van while the UFO hovered above them. They described the object as only about two meters in diameter with several porthole-like windows on its lower part. Through the portholes shadows or sillouhetted figures were visible moving about inside. A reddish light emanated from the top of the object. The UFO remained motionless for a few minutes, and then tilted at an angle and disappeared towards the ocean. After the incident all four men suffered from nausea and vomiting. One of the men also lost all the hair from his eyebrows. Da Silva, who before the incident had had an abundant head of hair, became bald in less than a year. A circular burnt area was found on the roof of the minibus.

Event 30485 (22282710)

Date: 5/17/1968
Description: Three photographs of luminous UFOs were taken by Dr. Gabriel Alvial at the University of Chile’s El Inferniello Observatory, in the Andes Mountains, Chile. The scientific research facility involved with this photographic case has been set up in the high Andes primarily as a Cosmic Ray measuring installation. The operators of the observatory apparently began observing a “series of luminous phenomena” months before. The objects were mobile but also stopped and hovered. One of the images can be viewed at http://www.nicap.org/images/680517andes.pdf

Event 30486 (10AA4F23)

Date: 5/18/1968
Location: BRAZIL, Caconde (Sao Paulo)
Description: (Translated from French) At 5 o’clock in the morning C.S. Dos Santos, a night watchman, returned home after finishing his work. In the courtyard of his house he found a small metal cylinder partially embedded in the ground. It was of a fairly high weight (like a car battery) and at each end it had dials, protected by glass or plastic lenses, resembling manometers, (vog: there is no doubt that 1968 is the year when UFOs lose their sheets and bolts anywhere …), said Dos Santos. Dos Santos took a snack before going to bed and placed the cylinder on the window sill of the bathroom. That night he went to work as usual and had completely forgotten his find. At 1 o’clock in the morning, he goes home to see if his wife needs anything (she is pregnant) and finds his wife, his son and the neighbors outside, in lively animation. His wife told him that she had been awakened by a buzzing like a large transformer and by an immense, suffocating heat. Fearing a short circuit, she got up to turn off the electricity. At that moment she saw an intense bluish light in the bathroom and the noise that seemed to come from there was indeed the one that had awakened her. Frightened, she went to call the neighbors. As soon as they were in the courtyard, an enormous crash resounded, the moment after the heat and the light had disappeared. In the bathroom there was a hole in the ceiling and debris of tiles everywhere. The object he placed on the window sill had disappeared.

Event 30521 (913BEDD5)

Date: 6/4/1968
Description: Artist Benjamin Solari Parravicini was walking home after midnight in Buenos Aires province, Argentina when he was confronted by a fair skinned man with eyes “so light in color that he looked as if blind.” The man addressed him in an unintelligible guttural language. Looking upward, the witness saw only 50 meters away a hovering aerial craft with no lights. He became dizzy, and when he recovered, he found himself inside the machine, with three other people. One of these, a very handsome man, was questioning Parravicini in an alien language, which he was able to understand telepathically. The being told him that they would take him once around Earth, and he observed Japan, France, and Chile before being returned to the same street corner. Since this experience the alien beings have allegedly contacted Parravicini several times.

Event 30533 (A48FF872)

Date: 6/10/1968
Description: In Los Cigarrales, Argentina Jorge Yaru, a member of the Argentine Navy, was on his way to bed at 3:15 a.m. when he heard a very loud engine noise and stepped out of his home to investigate. He saw nothing and returned inside. He heard the noise again and went back outside. Looking towards a nearby empty field he saw a hovering disc-shaped UFO, with a dome on top and bottom. Around the bottom part of the object were yellow, red, and orange lights. He estimated the craft to be about 1.5 meters in thickness and six meters in diameter, and the craft was rotating in a counter-clockwise direction. He watched the object for 40 minutes while it remained motionless, then the craft shot away at a ninety-degree angle towards some nearby wooded hills. It remained stationary there for 40 minutes and then made an abrupt jump, hovered again, and shot off at a high rate of speed. Sr. Yaru then felt a strange urge to bathe in a nearby brook, which he did despite the very low outdoor temperatures at the time. He felt a strange need to “cleanse” himself. At the same time a neighbor, Adela Garcia, heard the same noise and noticed in the same empty field a strange triangular shaped cloud. A giant man-like figure, over two meters tall, with long blond hair, descended to the ground from the cloud. The strange being, which Garcia likened to Jesus Christ, approached her and she knelt before him. Averting her eyes from the being briefly, she looked up and both the being and the cloud were gone. A large are of scorched grass was found in the field.

Her father had gone out for the evening. She turned off the lights of the motel, then noticed a glow in the hall. That’s when she found herself in the presence of a blond man over two meters tall, wearing a tight-fitting suit made of shiny sky blue scales. He held a sphere, also sky blue, in his left hand that kept moving. Smiling continuously, he waved his right hand, adorned with a huge ring in front of her. Light shot out from the tips of his fingers and Maria felt lethargic, while feeling “kindness and goodness” emanating from the creature. At the same time he muttered a language that made her think of “Chinese”. (vog: really? It sounded like Chinese, really???) Maria was petrified, but after a few minutes the being slowly headed towards the side door and left. Maria fainted and was discovered around 0:50 by her father.

The object and the lights disappeared a few minutes later. Señor Pretzel ran to the house where he just found Maria unconscious. It will take her a few days to recover from her heartbreaking experience. The police promised to investigate the event but never released their conclusions. (0 h 50)

Event 30544 (74E4D366)

Date: 6/14/1968
Location: CUBA, Cabanas
Description: (Translated from French) Shortly after midnight, the reserve units heard several bursts of machine gun fire in the area where Isidro Puentes was supposed to be, who was on patrol alone. It was only at sunrise that they found him lying on the ground unconscious. He was taken to the hospital in Pinar del Rio while the military intelligence services went to the scene. They found 48 shells from Isidro’s machine gun and 14 flattened projectiles, as if they had hit a particularly hard surface. They also found a depression formed of a central hole one meter in diameter surrounded by three smaller marks. The radars had also detected a strange object. Within a radius of 5 meters the ground was charred and covered with gray dust. The Soviet specialists arrived and carried out detailed analyses. Isidro remained in a state of shock for 15 days, unable to express himself. He was taken to the naval hospital in Havana. (…) When Isidro was finally able to speak, he said that shortly before midnight he had seen a whitish blue light filtering through the trees. He approached within 50 meters of the object resting in the middle of a clearing. He thought it was an American helicopter and fired at the craft, which changed color to orange. The last thing he remembered was a loud whistle. (1968, night of June 14th to 15th)

Date: 6/14/1968
Locations: Cabañas, Artemisa, Cuba; Pinar del Rio; Havana
Description: Shortly after 12:00 midnight. Isidro Puentes Ventura is on guard duty in Cabañas, Artemisa, Cuba, when he sees on the ground a brilliant domed UFO with several antennas on top. He approaches to within 165 feet and fires about 40 machine gun rounds into it, convinced it is American. The object turns orange and emits a whistling sound as Puentes loses consciousness. At dawn, an Army patrol finds him still unconscious and takes him to a hospital in Pinar del Rio, where he remains in shock for 6 days, unable to speak. He is then taken to a Naval hospital in Havana, where he remains in shock another week. At the site, Cuban and Soviet intelligence specialists find 48 spent cartridges and 14 bullets flattened by impact with something solid, as well as equally spaced indentations on the ground. Tests reveal that the soil has been exposed to a high temperature.

Event 30552 (5843B7B8)

Date: 6/14/1968
Description: At 45 minutes after midnight Mr. Pedro Pretzel, a 36-year-old hotel proprietor in the resort town of Villa Carlos Paz, Cordoba, Argentina sighted a UFO with two very intense beams of red light while walking home. A short while later his 19-year-old daughter Maria, who had been working as the hotel receptionist, encountered a six and a half foot tall blond man dressed in a sky blue diver suit, holding a sky blue sphere in his left hand. On his right hand was a huge ring, like a gauntlet covering half his hand. The ends of his fingers and toes emitted light, and whenever he pointed his hand at her she felt faint and began to lose consciousness. He smiled and spoke to her in an unintelligible language for some minutes before leaving.

Event 30553 (97EAAA46)

Date: 6/14/1968
Description: A few hours later in Cabanas, Cuba a soldier fired 48 rounds from his machine gun at a landed UFO. Shortly after midnight several bursts of machine gun fire were heard coming from a location in the vicinity where militia member Isidro Puentes Ventura was on guard duty. At dawn, Puentes was found unconscious by an Army patrol and taken to a hospital in Pinar Del Rio, where he remained in shock and unable to speak for six days. Removed to the neurological ward at the Naval Hospital in Havana, Puentes was diagnosed to be suffering from emotional trauma, remaining in shock for another week. At the site where Puentes had been posted, Cuban and Soviet intelligence investigators found forty-eight spent cartridges and fourteen bullets apparently flattened by impact, as well as equally spaced indentations in the ground, indicating that a heavy device had landed. At the landing site three indentations were found suggesting tripod landing gear, inscribing a circle about four meters in diameter. Tests revealed that the soil had been exposed to a high degree of heat.

When Puentes recovered consciousness he reported that he had come to within 150 feet of a brilliant disc-shaped object on the ground, with a dome and several antennas on top. Convinced that the device was an American helicopter, Puentes fired at it. The craft turned orange and emitted a loud whistling sound, Puentes last recollection before losing consciousness. Soviet intelligence specialists subjected Puentes to a fifty-hour interrogation after which he was examined by a team of psychiatrists and put through fifteen hypnosis sessions. No contradictions were found in his story.

Event 30554 (82890BAA)

Date: 6/14/1968
Description: At 6 p.m., or about the same time that the widely publicized asteroid “Icarus” passed close to Earth, strange events were reported in the northern Italian province of Abruzzi. A semi-hysterical woman phoned the Celano, Italy police station reporting that three huge, disc-shaped UFOs were hovering outside of town. The objects glowed a pale red. Lt. Germonde took the call. Minutes later other witnesses reported seeing “spinning discs” the size of houses slowly descend to the ground in a wooded area near the town. But soon it got much weirder. Lt. Germonde received a call from a bar-restaurant owner reporting “huge birds with tiny wings and with faces like humans.” According to the witness there were four or five huge birds or flying humanoids flying towards Celano. The strange creatures were described as three-feet in height and flying upright, as if they were men being propelled above the ground by some unknown force. No wings were visible, only a blur above their shoulders like the fast-moving wings of a hummingbird. Whatever kept them flying was small and moving very fast. The creatures reportedly flew at a height of only a few feet above the ground. They appeared to have trouble moving in heavily wooded areas. Their faces were reported to have been human like, but contained blank looks.

Date: 6/15/1968

Description: 1:05 a.m. María Elodia Pretzel, daughter of the owner of the Motel La Cuesta on National Highway 20 east of Villa Carlos Paz, Córdoba, Argentina, is locking up for the night when she encounters a strange-looking man in the dining area. He is 6 feet tall and dressed in a blue helmet and a suit that glows with an eerie light and seems made up of scales. In his left hand he is holding a glassy sphere that is radiating a coherent light that lights up the room. She feels somewhat paralyzed and is getting a mental message not to be afraid. The entity raises its other arm, which is emitting beams of light, and she feels helpless, falling backward. The entity walks slowly toward the outside door, putting one foot directly in front of the other, arm extended and holding the now extinguished sphere, and passes outside. Still shaken, María goes to the laundry room and drops on the floor, head and arms on a divan. A few minutes later, her father, Pedro Jacobo Pretzel, arrives and discovers her. Minutes earlier, he had seen two odd, stationary red lights about 5–6 feet from the ground off Highway 20. Maria is conscious but very disturbed, a condition that lasts for several days.

Locations: Demilitarized Zone in Vietnam; Cồn Cỏ (Tiger Island); El Choro, Poopó, Bolivia
Description: Night. Allied forward spotters along the eastern part of the Demilitarized Zone in Vietnam see about 30 strange slow-moving lights. At the time they are interpreted as North Vietnamese Russian-built M-14 Hound helicopters ferrying men and materiel over the border. The lights appear the following evening, and several US 7th Air Force Phantom fighter-bombers soon arrive on the scene and fire on the intruders, supported by anti- aircraft ground fire. During the Allied attack the presumed helicopters move down the east coast and out to sea. The destroyers HMAS Hobart, USS Edson, and USS Theodore E. Chandler are ordered to undertake surveillance missions around Cồn Cỏ (Tiger Island) along the north central coast. Around 3:14 a.m. on June 17, the ships are involved in a friendly fire incident in which the Hobart is hit by 3 missiles from one of the Phantoms, causing major damage and killing two of the crew. (Jon Wyatt, “HMAS Hobart Hit during Vietnam UFO Enciunter?” AUFORN Special Report, no. 34 (April 2003), reprinted in UFO Evidence) June 16 and 19 — Night. Chief of Provincial Police German Rocha and Police Maj. Niceforo Léon observe a round object with a vivid blue light near El Choro, Poopó, Bolivia.

Event 30571 (8570558C)

Date: 6/19/1968
Description: On this night Romulo Velazquez, age 25, a miner, saw a UFO land in Poopo, Oruro, Bolivia. From the landed craft emerged a tall thin being, to whom the witness felt drawn “as if by a magnet.” When the witness got closer the humanoid took hold of his right wrist and he then felt paralyzed and lost consciousness. Neighbors, including police officers, saw the UFO maneuvering for some minutes over Poopo at a low altitude, illuminating the village like daylight. Emitting blue rays, it rose and disappeared. Velazquez was found paralyzed on one side by a stroke, caused by a cerebral hemorrhage. At the landing site there was a wide area of burnt grass.

Description: Eustaqui Zogorwski, age 63, a Polish immigrant, claimed that on this date he was drugged by a man who drove up to his house in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires, Argentina in a black car. When he recovered consciousness he found himself in an otherworldly environment, where giant beings were dwelling in an aerial city.Two of these beings, over two meters tall, conducted Mr. Zogorwski to a tower in the center of the city, seemingly suspended in space. He was seated at a table around which sat 12 similar giants. They took his arms and he began to “trace signs automatically.” He believed that they had “brainwashed” him. He was finally released between the towns of Brinkmann and Cotagaita, in Cordoba province, where the mysterious man in the black car picked him up and drove him to his home.

Event 30578 (E6337506)

Date: Summer 1968
Location: CHINA, Lüda (Liaoning)
Description: (Translated from French) Four patrol boats of the Lüda naval patrol, (…) were patrolling the sea not far from the coast. Suddenly the soldiers discovered a luminous object, which, of golden color, of oval shape, skimmed the surface of the water at an incredible speed. Shortly after this object disappeared to the right of the fleet. Almost at the same time, all the radars and all the wireless telecommunications installations of the four patrol boats broke down. The ships continued to patrol for half an hour and found that two large warships were rushing towards them. (…) The situation was very tense. At this critical moment, the communication instruments began to function normally again. (…) (1968, Summer)

Event 30579 (23F18264)

Date: Summer 1968
Location: USA, Nellis Air Force Base (Nevada)
Description: (Translated from French) A small flying saucer approximately 6 meters in diameter landed on the Nellis Air Force Base. Witnesses had seen it emerge a few minutes earlier from a huge saucer that had been hovering stationary above the base for three days, but at an altitude too high to be seen up close. To greet the visitors, a colonel was sent with an armed patrol in case of incident, but without any aggressive intentions. Then a small humanoid emerged from the craft, perhaps misunderstanding the intentions of the colonel or his men, and directed a blinding light beam at him, paralyzing him in place. Seeing this, the patrol leader ordered his men to shoot, but their automatic weapons jammed immediately and they too felt completely paralyzed by the blinding beam of the humanoid. (vog: we are in full fantasy fiction with this Chatelain…) The humanoid then calmly returned to his craft, closed the door and took off vertically in front of the astonished witnesses, who saw the small saucer join its mother in the sky.

The two women had reached a vacant lot when suddenly everything became dark: there was no more moon. A pitch black darkness that lasted a few seconds. Then the moonlight reappeared. Then the two women noticed in the vacant lot two small figures passing in the round disk of the moon, which was at the horizon level at that hour. Two beings, one of which was visibly smaller than the other. The larger one must have been 1.70 m and the other 1.60 m. (vog: not so small, and such precision on their size!) They were all black. They were wearing a garment that seemed to be made of one piece (…) They had a human appearance and a human-looking face. One of the two figures had a kind of pick (fork with two branches) and seemed to be probing the ground or scratching the earth. They were floating instead of walking. (…) (1968, Summer)

They approached the witness who had by now left his vehicle. They expressed curiosity as to his long hair. He explained that he just wanted to wear it that way and was not into drugs or anything. They seemed to appreciate that. They then told him that they came from a world with no cities where its inhabitants were born in the wilderness. They told him that cities were a danger to society. They called themselves “Dodonians.” The witness shook hands with the men and they boarded the craft, which quickly left the area.

Event 30608 (CC7C5E79)

Date: 6/26/1968
Location: Argentina
Description: An Argentine Trotskyist using the pseudonym J. Posadas, who formed a movement in 1962 based on the inevitability of nuclear war, has proclaimed an interest in UFOs as entities with the ability to master sophisticated technologies that are compatible with socialism. If UFOs exist, they might be helpful in addressing some of the major problems in the earth. In his pamphlet, Les Soucoupes Volantes: Le processus de la matière et de l’energie, la science et le socialisme, Posadas pleads that “We must call upon beings from other planets when they come to intervene, to collaborate with the inhabitants of the Earth to overcome misery. We must launch a call on them to use their resources to help us.”

Description: Three children, Hugo Cesar Messina, Oscar Crespo, and a third boy were bicycling in Cerro de las Rosas, Cordoba, Argentina at 5:30 p.m. when they were surprised by the appearance of a silvery colored object. The UFO had on its lower part a kind of helix, where lights of white and sky-blue were revolving. It hovered about 20 meters up and 50 meters away from the boys. On the upper part of the object appeared a couple, a man and a woman, who floated in the air. They were of enormous stature with long white hair, and they wore luminous close fitting garments. Holding hands, they began to descend slowly, disappearing into the object without any door opening. The luminous helix began to rotate at greater speed, and the UFO went away at great speed.

Event 30621 (5024FF15)

Date: 6/30/1968
Description: At 1:15 a.m. Jose Paulino Nunez, a distillery worker, encountered two people on the beach in Lujan, Mendoza, Argentina that he first mistook to be guards. Their dress and actions were like normal people, but they showed him a spherical device some 30 cm in which he could see images of people walking about. Speaking in a strange, metallic voice, one of them asked him, “Do you know these people? They were like you. Many more will be like them. Many people in the world will see the same thing you have seen. We will talk about this again. If you speak of this, be sure it is with responsible people.” At that point the witness experienced a lapse of memory, for the next thing he recalls was being back in the laboratory, where it took him an hour to compose himself. The people he saw in the images were all tall and human like, with pale complexions, and long, light colored hair, who appeared to be walking about in a trance.

Event 30634 (49D6C2F7)

Date: 7/1968
Locations: Gardena Pass, South Tyrol, Italy; Rhodes, Greece
Description: 1:00 a.m. Walter Rizzi is taking a nap in his car by the road just south of the Gardena Pass, South Tyrol, Italy, when he wakes to the smell of something burning. He sees a light about 1,600 feet further downhill shining through the mist. The mist parts, and he sees an enormous object that suddenly reminds him of an encounter he had with a strange hermit on the island of Rhodes in Greece when he was in the Italian army in World War II. The hermit had predicted he would someday meet with advanced beings from the cosmos who would provide him with the assurance of life throughout the universe. Rizzi makes his way downhill toward the object, which is silvery, some 260 feet in diameter, standing on three legs, bathed in fleecy white light, and emitting a burning odor. He gets within 10 feet and cannot go further. He sees two beings inside a transparent cupola on the top who are looking down at him. To the right of the object is a robot about 8 feet tall with three legs and four arms. A beam of light comes from the center of the object, and Rizzi sees another being dressed in a tight-fitting suit and glass helmet descending. They communicate telepathically about other planets and the universe. Eventually the entities reenter the object and take off. Rizzi claims there are landing marks, effects on the grass, and his watch starts losing time.

Event 30643 (8C510FD7)

Date: 7/1/1968
Location: UNESP Hospital das Clinicas of the Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil
Description: 12:30 a.m. Three boys are sitting on the main gate of the UNESP Hospital das Clinicas of the Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil. Suddenly they see a large object “as big as a house” sitting about 1,150 feet to the west of them. It has a large tripod undercarriage and a ladder reaching down to the ground. The boys can hear a weird “tinging sound on a high note.” They start to yell as the UFO retracts its tripod and ladder and rise into the air and speed off to the east, reaching a great altitude. Alerted by their shouts, other witnesses see the object moving away. A student named Antônio Alegre examines the landing site shortly afterward and finds marks forming an isosceles triangle, two sides measuring 20 feet and one side 23 feet.

Event 30644 (B4FD9810)

Date: 7/1/1968
Description: Returning home at four o’clock in the morning after a dance, 17-year-old Raul Salcedo encountered two very tall strange beings in Ricardone, Entre Rios, Argentina. They were nearly 10 feet tall. He “felt himself drawn towards them by the powerful magnetism radiated by them,” which temporarily immobilized him, but he was able to break free and fled home in terror. There was simultaneously a spate of UFO sightings locally and in nearby San Lorenzo.

Event 30645 (A780440C)

Date: 7/1/1968
Description: At 12:30 p.m. three boys in Botucatu, Sao Paulo State, Brazil saw a disc-shaped object on the ground about eight meters wide and 350 meters away. It had a large tripod undercarriage and a ladder reaching down to the ground. These landing devices were retracted inside the object, and the object rose a few meters into the air, then flew off at high speed. Physical traces included the ground marks left behind by the tripod landing gear: imprints 7m x 6.8m x 5.45m apart, and marks left by the ladder. There was also a residual “gunpowder” smell, and the boys thought they heard a “tingling” sound during the encounter.

Event 30646 (B2DD81F6)

Date: 7/1/1968
Description: A man, who lived in a third floor apartment along with his wife and young son, was watching television around midnight with his wife. It was a hot and humid summer night in Norwich, Connecticut. Suddenly the TV reception began to snow, and then they heard crying coming from the child’s room. The man then caught a glimpse of someone in the room and ran to see who it was. When he got to the bedroom window he saw the figure fly away to a point about 200 feet up and several hundred feet south of the apartment building. It was headed towards a UFO that was ruby red in color. In seconds the figure was like a silver dot that had merged with the object along with 3 or 4 other dots. The object then rose to about 1000 feet and went southwest at high speed. The creature was described as about four-foot tall with large eyes and fang-like teeth. Its arms were disproportionately long, like an ape’s arms. It wore a silvery colored suit and its feet did not appear to touch the ground. It seemed to float across the room and went out the open window.

Location: Sierra Chica, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Description: 11:25 a.m. Oscar Heriberto Iriart, 15, sees two men of normal height motioning to him at Sierra Chica, Buenos Aires, Argentina. They have short, white hair and red clothes. They also have semi-transparent legs because he can see through them to the grass behind. Near the men is an elliptical, silvery machine, 6.5 feet long, 2 feet high, with three legs 19 inches high. The men give him an envelope they telepathically say contains an important message, telling him to dip it in water before reading, then they fly off. Iriart dips the envelope in a puddle and finds that both the envelope and his hands are dry. The message is written in Spanish in a crude handwriting: “You are going to know the world. F. Saucer.” The witness’s horse and dog are paralyzed for several minutes. The boy arrives home terrified. The family goes to the landing site and finds three holes, each about 5 inches deep and forming an isosceles triangle, the base side measuring 6.5 feet and the other 2 sides 5.2 feet wide. At 11:15 p.m., five skeptical men (including Police Sgt. Raúl Coronel) from the Sierra Chica Social Club visit the landing site and declare the holes to be fake. However, they see a zigzagging light a few feet from the ground and heading their way. They drop to the ground, it passes over them, and then shoots away straight up.

They were five and a half feet tall, with thin white hair and wore red clothing. The witness noticed that their legs were semi transparent. They told him, in Spanish, “You are going to know the world. We will take you. But not now, as we have a big load.” They directed his attention to an elliptical object six feet in diameter, standing on 20" tripod legs in a drainage ditch. Then one of them handed the boy an envelope, telling him to dip it into a nearby puddle. He did so, and found that neither the envelope nor his hand were wetted. In the envelope, written in a crude hand like a small child’s, was the message, “You are going to know the world, F. Saucer.” The two men then got into their machine through the top, and it took off vertically at great speed. Oscar found both his horse and dog paralyzed, and unable to move for some minutes. At the spot were found 3 holes 5" deep, arranged in an isosceles triangle. 5 local skeptics visited the site at 2315 that night and were amazed to observed a luminous object zigzag above them at low altitude.

Description: Sr. Aldo Juan Santiago, with Miss Espinoza and her son and a young friend of the latter, were driving near Canota, Mendoza province, Argentina on a cold, moonlight night at around 3:00 a.m. when they saw a luminous object pass over and land near Villavicencio, about three kilometers away. The object was fluctuating in color between blue-green and yellow. They stopped and had a mid-night cookout, and toward the end of their stopover they witnessed a man approach, walking on the road to Villavicencio. He walked by making “giant strides,” and came up and then passed by them without speaking. He was wearing “a sort of one piece Montgomery, fastened at the wrists & ankles.” It was blue in color, with a hood over the head, and he seemed to be wearing spectacles. The area was far from any town and they had seen no one else, and no other car, on the road.

In a corner of the room she saw a short humanoid figure wearing a silvery suit. Frightened, she managed to grab hold of her young daughter and ran outside screaming. Several neighbors, among them Rogelio Gianomini, came to her aid and found a strange white substance on the floor and a strong sulphur-like odor in the area. Small footprints were also found. Mrs. Gilabert suffered from nervous shock after the incident.

Date: 7/17/1968
Location: BRAZIL, Sao Paulo
Description: (Translated from French) Pedro Dema Filho, residing at Conceiçao Street No. 12 in Rio de Janeiro, was at 11 pm on the main road of Sao Paulo near the Dom Bosco seminary when he heard a buzzing sound that grew louder. Suddenly he was blinded by a powerful beam of light and two green lights that appeared near him. When the lights disappeared he saw an object whose horizontal door opened, letting out four entities no more than 50 cm tall. The creatures were greenish and wore something like headphones on their heads. They ran in his direction. He tried to flee but found himself immobilized. He could still see, hear and think, but could no longer move or speak. The little creatures spoke to him in Portuguese, but he thinks it was telepathy because he never saw their lips move. Grabbing him by the arms, they pulled him inside the craft, which looked like a laboratory. He was subjected to a questionnaire and a physical examination. Bringing him outside, the abductors informed him that after their departure everything would be in his mind like a dream. Terrified and confused, he stood at the side of the road and watched the craft take off.

Description: Late evening. A civil servant is allegedly snatched off the São Paulo Highway in Brazil and taken into a UFO by four green entities wearing devices that look like headphones. While he is in a state of paralysis, they question him via telepathy about human customs, physiology, and reproduction. The creatures depart abruptly as if in response to instructions.

Event 30713 (58BADF4D)

Date: 7/17/1968
Description: Near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at around eleven p.m. a civil servant named Pedro Dema Filho heard a loud humming noise and was blinded by a powerful beam of light accompanied by two green lamps. These vanished, and from a door in a UFO emerged four short greenish entities not much over 20 inches tall, wearing something like headphones. They quickly approached and paralyzed him, and he was unable to run away. They next seized him and dragged him into their craft, the interior of which “looked like a laboratory”. There they questioned him, apparently using telepathy, at length about human customs. They didn’t seem to have mouths. After that, they undressed him and conducted a detailed physical examination. They put a luminous wire device into his mouth that made his body appear transparent. During this procedure his limbs felt cold, his head felt like it was spinning, and his tongue felt like it had “turned to stone.” They finally released him, and he watched the craft fly off leaving a luminous trail. He felt no subsequent ill effects.

Event 30719 (E75A3426)

Date: 7/20/1968
Location: ESTONIA, Vesti (Otepaa)
Description: (Translated from French) Three 14-year-old girls, at a summer camp near Lake Kaarna, were sitting around a table at the back of the house between midnight and 1:00 a.m. when they suddenly saw a star moving at great speed, joining a cigar-shaped object that had suddenly appeared and entering it. It was quite frightening, but since it was late, they were going to bed. As they were undressing, their room was flooded with light, and the large, shining cigar was then 150 m away. It was like a bus, surrounded by orange and yellow beams of light. The large light disappeared, but there was a luminous mist that shone with a bluish-green color. Around the object there was a belt of the same color. The object seemed to become smaller and finally there was only a disc. The blue light was very frightening to the teenagers. This had been going on for five minutes when they heard a very faint buzzing and the object disappeared, they do not know how. One of the young girls felt the need to go out and see, and at the corner of the house she saw a small human figure, a little woman with a silver ribbon crossing her chest. This good woman simply vanished into the air, and the young girl quickly returned to her room with her friends. They did not sleep all night. The next day, where they had seen the craft, they found an almost circular trace of 2 m in diameter with burned grass, and then another and another: over 180 m there were several of these imprints.

Description: After 12:00 midnight. Three 14-year-old girls at a summer camp at Kaarnajärv, near Otepää, Valga County, Estonia, see a swiftly moving star and a cigar-shaped object in the distance that quickly disappears. Somewhat disturbed, they decide to retire to bed. Through a window they see a bright object about 165 feet away. It is surrounded by reddish-orange and yellow beams of light. Soon it goes out, leaving only a dark greenish nebula with a blue-green ring around it that illuminates the surrounding woods. They watch it for about 5 minutes until it blinks out. One of the girls goes outside and sees a female figure, less than 5 feet tall and wearing a silver ribbon, standing where the object had been. It vanishes. The next morning, they find a circular burnt area about 6 feet in diameter and four wedge-shaped prints in the soil.

Description: At 12:30 a.m. three 14-year-old girls at a summer camp on Lake Kaarna, Estonia were sitting outside eating when they saw a bright light descend overhead and join up with a cigar-shaped craft that had just appeared. The objects soon disappeared. Moments later, after the witnesses had gone inside their cabin, they saw a bright orange bus-shaped object on the ground about 50 meters away. It was surrounded by dazzling beams of orange yellow light, which suddenly dimmed and the object began emitting a green blue light. It had a blue green stripe around it and seemed to shrink in size, and after a few minutes the witnesses heard a buzzing sound and the object disappeared behind some bushes. One of the witnesses ran to where the object had been and saw a small human-like figure that had feminine features; the figure was standing where the object had been, and she seemed to be wearing a shiny silvery ribbon across her chest. The being suddenly rose up into the air and vanished. The next day strange ground markings were found at the site.

Event 30723 (892B0E03)

Date: 7/20/1968
Description: A man on a hiking trip near Cluj-Napoca, Romania was scanning the field with his binoculars at eleven o’clock in the morning when he noticed four bizarre looking humanoids standing on a field. The humanoids were standing around apparently inspecting the area except for one that appeared to be lying prone on the ground. These human like figures appeared to be naked or topless as if sunning themselves in a beach. As he watched, five minutes later a large gray balloon shaped object appeared above some trees. It was flying in a west-east direction and appeared to be about 25 meters in diameter. At one point the object ejected a small sphere that descended in a vertical parabolic trajectory disappearing behind the trees. Soon 4 bell-parachute shaped objects appeared and descend over each of the humanoids covering them completely, each of the humanoids raised their arms as if waiting to be covered by the objects. The parachute like objects then disappeared along with the humanoids. The witness described the humanoids as about 1.40 meters in height, of a robust build with short muscular legs and over-developed calves. Their skin was dark reddish in color and their hair was dark and swarthy. Their heads and faces were peculiar since they had dog or canine-like characteristics.

Date: 7/22/1968
Location: Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England
Description: Around 12:00 midnight. Off-duty police constable Martyn Johnson is walking with his girlfriend in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, when they see two lights approaching them from above a nearby park. They are giving off many colored lights. As they hover above a nearby house, the couple’s poodle becomes agitated and runs off. The two lights then become four and arrange themselves in an oblong formation. All at once they vanish at terrific speed, following a railway to the northeast. A few hours later, Johnson is awakened and told to report to police headquarters, where there are two “government men” waiting to quiz him about the sighting. They desperately try to convince him that he has seen an aircraft or helicopter. They tell him he is sworn to secrecy for the next 25 years. When he asks what he has seen, they tell him, “What you have seen is an unidentified flying object or UFO. Some people call them spaceships, and if the people of the world knew how many genuine sightings there were like yours, there would be total panic.”

Location: Dr. Carlos Pereyra Neuropsychiatric Hospital at Ituzaingó 2837, Mendoza, Argentina
Description: 1:20 a.m. Adela Casalvieri de Panassiti, 45, night nurse at the Dr. Carlos Pereyra Neuropsychiatric Hospital at Ituzaingó 2837, Mendoza, Argentina, hears a loud, penetrating, humming noise outside in the hospital courtyard. Going out to see what it is, she observes a mushroom-shaped landed object only 65 feet away. It is luminous and sitting in the middle of the courtyard. A bright red beam comes from the object and strikes her, and she finds that her legs are paralyzed. Putting her hands up to her face for protection, she discovers she is completely unable to move. She remains immobilized for a number of minutes until the red beam is extinguished. At this time, the object ascends vertically then flies off rapidly to the south, barely clearing the wall that surrounds the courtyard. Before it disappears, she is able to observe several human-looking figures through square portholes that encircle the craft. These beings move back and forth, passing each other, and are visible from the waist up only. A lead- gray stain, 31 x 12 inches, that smells of sulfur is found at the landing site. It persists for two days. Several small potted trees are burned. Casalvieri de Panassiti has first-degree burns on her face and hands (an allergic reaction?), and parts of her nurse’s cap and clothing are singed. In addition, her watch, which has stopped at 1:30 a.m., is found to be radioactive, as is her ring. The daughters of a garrison commander witness a luminous, egg- shaped object at the same time from the garrison casino.

Event 30742 (7B767C41)

Date: 7/23/1968
Description: In Bauru, Sao Paulo state, Brazil a night watchman named Oliveira was on duty at the Central Electric Power Station at 1:00 a.m. when he saw a helmeted figure. Suspecting it was a criminal intruder, he tried to strike him with a metal crowbar but the figure dodged the blows and was soon joined by two other accomplices. They quickly overpowered the guard. One of the men, who, unlike the others, was dressed in yellow coveralls, uttered some unintelligible words. The security guard called out for help, at which point the three men boarded a gray colored, unlighted vehicle the size of a Volkswagen station wagon, and flew off into the air. The men were about the same size as the witness, about five foot five inches in height.

Event 30747 (558555A1)

Date: 7/25/1968
Location: ARGENTINA, Olavarria
Description: (Translated from French) It was in the morning on an airfield. The four military personnel were intrigued by an intense glow on a rescue track. They went to the site in a jeep and saw a round craft, equipped with landing gear and equipped with headlights of different colors that was stationary on the ground. Three beings descended. Their size: 2 m. They had a human appearance but were dressed in phosphorescent uniforms. The frightened military personnel saw that the beings were coming towards them. The brigadier who commanded the group decided to shoot them, but in his nervousness, he fortunately did not hit them. The beings had luminous balls in their hands and these balls shot rays at the soldiers who were paralyzed. Immediately the strange visitors returned to their craft which flew away at full speed. (Jean FERGUSON: “Everything about Flying Saucers”, ed. Leméac, Ottawa, 1972, p. 201). The corporal ordered the “invaders” to surrender and as they did not obey, he fired a burst of machine gun, which had no effect either on the craft or on the invaders. But at the same time the military personnel were paralyzed, for three minutes, by rays from bright spheres that the beings held in one hand raised above their heads. When the military personnel regained their senses, the UFO had left and was only a small point fading in the sky.

It settled to the ground and three beings more than six feet tall, wearing silvery uniforms, emerged and advanced with slow, unsteady steps toward the soldiers. The corporal fired a burst of submachine gun fire at them, upon which the beings lifted up their hands to show a small luminous ball, whereupon all the witnesses were overcome by a strange lassitude and were incapable of using their guns. Only after the beings re-entered the UFO and it had taken off with a zigzag motion did the soldiers recover their faculties.

Description: 12:00 midnight. A farmer, his wife, and two children near Upton, Quebec, are awakened by the barking of their dog. When he gets up to investigate, he sees a sparkling, rotating “cloud” in the yard. It flies just over him and goes into a nearby field. About 12 feet in diameter, it is dark on the bottom but luminous on top. The cows in the field are being chased by 4 or 5 small entities, perhaps 3 feet tall with heads shaped like bottles. As the UFO flies above them, they disappear. The cattle seem ill for weeks afterwards.

Event 30774 (22AC91B3)

Date: 7/28/1968
Description: At 9:00 p.m. five young people, including Paul Sauve, age 20, and his sisters, Nicole, and Joanne, and Regent Leger and his brother Dennis Leger, saw two circular objects with brilliant red halos over St.-Stanislas-de-Kostka, Quebec, Canada. One of the objects was seen to land about 1,000 feet away. When they went out with a flashlight to investigate they encountered a being about four feet tall, 50 feet away from them, that terrified them so much that they ran back to the house. It had a big head 'imbedded in the shoulders" without a neck, large round eyes, a flat nose, and a dark brown skin that was “wrinkled, scabby, and with bumps.” When caught in the flashlight beam, it lifted a hand, which was very large, black, and rough, “like the skin of a toad.” It opened and closed its mouth, then it backed off toward the barn. After they were back in the house, it came up to a window and knocked on the pane, making a mooing sound “like a cow.” Later they saw the object take off vertically. A 15-foot circle of crushed grain was found at the landing site.

When the object flew over, the humanoids disappeared.

Event 30783 (8F818F6B)

Date: 7/29/1968
Locations: University of Illinois at Chicago; UC-Berkeley; UCLA
Description: The hearings that Rep. J. Edward Roush and NICAP have been calling for are held as a “Symposium on Unidentified Flying Objects” before the House Committee on Science and Astronautics. Rep. George P. Miller (D-Calif.) is chairman of the committee, but Roush directs most of the proceedings. Hynek, McDonald, Sagan, Robert L. Hall (University of Illinois at Chicago), James A. Harder (UC-Berkeley), and Robert M. L. Baker Jr. (UCLA) give testimony. Hynek is introduced by Rep. Donald Rumsfeld (R-Ill.). Menzel, R. Leo Sprinkle, Garry C. Henderson, Stanton T. Friedman, Roger N. Shepard, and Frank B. Salisbury offer prepared papers. NICAP representatives are not permitted to testify. Many witnesses parrot the NORAD party line that its radars only look in certain directions (when indeed it looks for many types of potential attacks in all directions). Harder states: “On the basis of the data and ordinary rules of evidence, as would be applied in civil or criminal courts, the physical reality of UFOs has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.” McDonald makes the biggest impression, presenting 30 pages of UFO reports. He states: “my own present opinion, based on two years of careful study, is that UFOs are probably extraterrestrial devices engaged in something that might very tentatively be termed ‘surveillance.’” Menzel concludes that UFOs merit no more scientific study than “the concept of ghosts, spirits, witches, fairies, elves, hobgoblins, or the devil.” The symposium has no lasting impact, as Congress does nothing about the problem.

Event 30792 (654C8E89)

Date: 7/30/1968
Location: Claremont, New Hampshire
Description: 2:00 a.m. A land surveyor and his wife in Claremont, New Hampshire, are preparing to retire when they see a dome-shaped object in a field about 230 feet behind their house. It is about 20 feet wide and moving slowly 10 feet above the ground, creating shadows on the freshly cut hay. The UFO shines a 20-foot wide gray-colored beam of light onto the ground. Their children moan and cry out in while they are sleeping and their dogs are whining loudly. They hear a high-pitched humming sound like a utility pole transformer. A few minutes later the object moves 25 feet to the east, the humming growing louder. At one point, a projection from the object descends to the ground. Around 4:30 a.m., the object goes brighter and slowly moves off toward the west.

Event 30793 (57FA70BB)

Date: 7/31/1968
Location: REUNION (ISLAND OF THE …) Plaine des Cafres.
Description: (Translated from French) Around 9 o’clock, Luce Fontaine, a farmer (…) was picking grass for his rabbits in the Plaine des Cafres when he saw in a small clearing 20 m away from him, an oval-shaped object, measuring about 5 m in diameter and 2 to 3 m thick, hovering 1 m above the ground. The central part of the craft was transparent and Luce Fontaine could make out two small, wide shapes inside the unknown vehicle, about 1 m tall, resembling Michelin men. One of them spotted the farmer and immediately there was a blinding light that erased the landscape in a fantastic explosion of white light. Luce Fontaine lowered his eyes to protect himself and when he looked again, the object had disappeared. Afraid of being mocked, Luce Fontaine did not immediately inform the authorities.

Locations: La Plaine des Cafres; Réunion; Indian Ocean; Madagascar; La Soucoupe Volante
Description: 9:00 a.m. Farmer Luce Fontaine is collecting grass for his rabbits at La Plaine des Cafres on the island of Réunion (in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar), when he sees an oval-shaped object about 75 feet away. It is sitting about 15 feet from the ground on a flange of metal; a similar structure protrudes from its top. The cylinder has two blue ends and a transparent center through which he can see two humanoids less than 3 feet tall in metallic helmets and dressed in puffy suits like the Michelin Man (the tire company mascot). Seemingly sensing Fontaine looking at them, they turn their backs and the object disappears in a sudden flash of light and a burst of hot air. The incident is investigated by Capt. Maljean of the local Gendarmerie and Capt. Léopold Legros of the Civil Protection Service, who detect an abnormal amount of radioactivity at the site and on Fontaine’s clothing 10 days afterward, as well as six apparent landing marks in the ground. A country club called “La Soucoupe Volante” (Flying Saucer) is later built on the site.

Event 30802 (BCE439C1)

Date: 7/31/1968
Description: Mr. Luce Fontaine, age 31, a farmer on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, was picking some grass for his rabbits at around 9:00 a.m. when he saw an object 5 meters in diameter like two metallic saucers put face to face, standing on a “glass foot” like a goblet. It was only 25 meters away. On its top it bore another such “foot.” It was dark blue but had a large central window, through which could be seen two small individuals, only 3 feet tall, dressed from head to foot in bulky coveralls, something like the Michelin “tire man.” Both wore helmets that partially masked their faces. They turned their backs and there was a brilliant flash of light, and a sensation of heat with a blast of wind. A few seconds later nothing was to be seen. There was a local police investigation.

Locations: Con Thien combat base; Demilitarized Zone, Quang Tri Province, Vietnam
Description: The US Air Force Weapons Laboratory begins to set up a field instrumentation lab at Con Thien combat base near the Demilitarized Zone, Quang Tri Province, Vietnam, specifically for the purpose of investigating and tracking unidentified aircraft. The first project name is HAVE FEAR. At least 500 UFO sensor trackings via radar-visual, laser range-finder, video camera, infrared, nightscope, and telescope are investigated through April 1969. The UFOs, often seen as red lights, usually travel at speeds of 30–80 mph at altitudes of 1,200–1,600 feet. After several days of tracking, the red blinking lights extinguish when under radar surveillance. They are only seen at night and only in certain places. In mid-August, Project LETHAL CHASER is added, using portable manpack radars. The findings involve 99% UFOs and only 1% IFOs, primarily because the system does not include human anecdotal accounts. Pacific Air Forces’ unit history clearly states the investigation is about UFOs, not enemy helicopters.

It gradually came towards where I was, and then I could no longer see the other houses, and I couldn’t move or call out to Mummy…and after that…I don’t know anything more…until I found myself on a square where there were lots of people and lots of little boys…” She knocked at a nearby house, and the residents turned her over to the police. She had somehow traveled from her Cordoba suburb to the Plaza Espana in the heart of the city. After the incident, the child suffered fits of weeping and cold chills.

Event 30838 (32115F64)

Date: 8/7/1968
Locations: Buff Ledge Camp; Lake Champlain; Burlington, Vermont; Adirondack Mountains
Description: 8:10 p.m. As a young man and woman watch from the end of a dock at Buff Ledge Camp [now closed] along the shore of Lake Champlain north of Burlington, Vermont, a bright light appears in the southwest sky and swoops down in a long arc until it stops and assumes a horizontal position. It now resembles a white, glowing, cigar-shaped object, possibly as far away as the Adirondack Mountains more than 10 miles from the witnesses. According to the young man, three tiny white lights emerge one at a time from the right-end bottom of the UFO. As soon as the third is expelled, the object retreats along its original path and vanishes seconds later. The three smaller objects perform a series of spectacular maneuvers, all the while moving closer. After 5 minutes the objects assume a horizontal triangle formation, and two head off in opposite directions, one to the north, the other to the south, making a sound like “thousands of different tuning forks.” The remaining object (40–50 feet across) moves toward the witnesses. It ascends and vanishes in three seconds, only to reappear moments later as it descends along the same trajectory and plunges broadside into the water. A sudden wind blows waves across the heretofore placid surface. Animals up and down the shore howl and shriek. A few minutes later the UFO surfaces and moves toward the witnesses. It stops 60 feet from them, hovering about 15 feet above the water. The young man can see two figures with large heads, oversized oval eyes, and small mouths. Visible to the waist, they are short and clothed in skintight gray or silver uniforms. Thus begins an abduction experience that was only uncovered through separate hypnotic sessions with each of the witnesses by Walter N. Webb years later. Webb’s background checks, buttressed by psychological analyses, convinces him that there is no question of a hoax.

Event 30839 (D5028211)

Date: 8/7/1968
Description: On this date a very important and well investigated abduction case occurred on the shores of Lake Champlain near Milton, Vermont. In the late afternoon at a private camp called Buff Ledge two teenage camp counselors, a man and a woman, had stayed behind from a campwide swimming meet and were relaxing by the dock on their day off. They saw a large, glowing cigar-shaped object swoop low over the lake in the distance. Three small round objects left the large “mothership,” which then departed. Two of the small objects also left, but the third, a domed disc-shaped craft, descended close to the witnesses. It had a transparent dome and a revolving rim. The craft approached the dock and hovered very close to the witnesses. Two beings could be seen inside the dome. They had large elongated heads, huge eyes, two nasal openings, and small mouths. The beings apparently communicated telepathically with the witnesses. They had no conscious recollection of what happened next, and the next thing they remembered it is getting dark and they heard the campers returning from their swim meet. They had lost track of at least an hour of time.

They never talked about the incident because the camp ended the next day and they went their separate ways. Years later the man contacted UFO investigator Walter Webb about his missing time experience. He remembered that the girl was planning to attend a college in the southeastern U.S. By knowing the name of the woman’s college, Webb was able to track the second witness down by contacting her college’s alumni department. He called her and asked her if she would like to come back to New England and talk about the incident. She agreed, and through hypnosis both witnesses independently recalled nearly identical accounts of their abduction experience.

They gave separate but nearly identical accounts of what happened to them. When the UFO moved over the dock they were bathed in light from the object, and both witnesses went into a trance state. They were taken onboard the craft, although they had no recollection of how they had gotten there. They were both given medical examinations on a table. They both gave independent accounts of recalling seeing nearly identical instrument panels and other instruments. There sketches of the aliens and the UFO craft were quite similar. When they awoke on the dock it was evening. An independent witness, a camper who had run down to the lake ahead of all the others, saw the lighted UFO as it departed the scene.

Date: 8/8/1968
Description: At around two a.m. Miguel Bitschko of Canuelas, Argentina was woke up by a bright light coming from outside his home. Going outside he was astonished to see a huge disc-shaped object on the ground in a nearby field. The object had a dome with a revolving red light on top. As he stared at the object in disbelief a door opened on the craft, then a ladder descended to the ground. Soon a very tall man, over two meters tall, emerged from the craft. The figure wore a shiny metallic, tight fitting uniform. At the same time the object was emitting a loud humming sound. The giant started to walk towards the witness, who stood paralyzed with fear. The figure then suddenly stopped, walked back to the object, and got back in. The craft then climbed vertically up into the sky at high speed and disappeared from sight.

Event 30854 (F5A0E524)

Date: 8/13/1968
Description: (Translated from French) Inacio de Souza and his wife Louisa return to Pilar de Goias (Brazil) to the ranch where Ignacio, a 41 year old illiterate, works as a laborer, 240 km from Brasilia. The place is important enough to have a landing strip, and that is where de Souza sees 3 people — wearing tight yellow clothes, according to the woman — apparently playing. The 3 beings notice de Souza at the same time and start to approach. Then he notices a strange device — like an upside down sink — on the landing strip. Frightened, he grabs the 44 caliber rifle he is carrying and fires at the closest creature. The reply is a green light beam coming from the machine. It hits de Souza in the head and shoulders. The 3 beings then run to the machine and get inside; it takes off vertically, buzzing. De Souza develops symptoms ranging from nausea to tremors, and is taken to see a doctor in Goiâna, 290 km away. Leukemia is diagnosed and the doctor examining him believes his UFO and extraterrestrial story is a hallucination. De Souza, who had the reputation, before his encounter, of being very robust, will die on October 11th. (August 13th, 4 PM)

Description: 12:00 midnight. Dick Skewes is driving west with his wife Anne and babysitter Gail Yemm about 20 minutes east of Springhill, Nova Scotia, on the Trans-Canada Highway. After driving up a hill, he sees a group of 5–6 lights hovering 50 feet above some trees on his left. Another light is approaching at high speed to join the others. One of the objects breaks away and descends silently over the highway in front of them, its yellow lights flashing brilliantly, on an apparent collision course. When it is 40–50 feet away it veers upward and disappears to the east. Skewes continues down the highway and loses sight of the objects when he rounds a bend.

Description: 6:00 a.m. A farmer doing barnyard chores at La Serra d’Almos, Catalonia, Spain, glimpses a light more than half a mile away. He thinks someone’s car has stalled, so he walks over with his dog intending to help. But he finds a globe-shaped, glowing object hovering 3 feet above the ground. On the other side of it, he sees two creatures of an octopus-like appearance. Light-colored, 3 feet tall, they are running on “four or five legs” toward the UFO, which abruptly takes off. Reporters and UFO investigators find a considerable area of burned grass at the site. Those who visit the site shortly afterwards find their watches stop mysteriously.
