Event 30894 (B279E10C)

Date: 8/21/1968
Location: FRANCE, Villers en Morvan (Côte d’Or)
Description: (Translated from French) Witnesses Marius Carré and Paul Billard were in a field almost at the top of a hill with a cart pulled by a tractor to collect bundles of rye. It was about 10:30. First Marius Carré noticed to the left of a pine forest, on a small hill 2 km away to the southwest, a very light white spot that had the appearance of a lozenge. He compared it to a picnic blanket spread on the grass. Paul Billard spoke of a mass on the ground the approximate size of a small car. Without thinking further, the two farmers began to load a cart. Half an hour later, the operation finished, they bring the cart back into a path, hitch another empty cart to the tractor and start to load it. They then see, from the point where the “white blanket” was, a kind of luminous extension in the shape of a tube or factory chimney, which lengthens approximately in their direction. In 5 to 10 minutes this luminous tube reaches the record length of 2 km and comes to a sudden stop on a hedge (a bush hedge marking 30 to 40 m from the witnesses, the limit of the field). This luminous tube is extremely bright and almost unbearable to the eye. Paul Billard nevertheless tries to look. This is perhaps why the next day he will have sore eyes and have to wear sunglasses. The two witnesses agree to describe the end of the tube of 1 or 2 m in diameter as a kind of bright, moving spider web, like the luminous points on a lit television screen. This situation lasts about ten minutes. Marius Carré, mainly concerned with bringing in his rye, the work continues undisturbed while the end of this fantastic thing is there, forty meters away, and follows the tractor in its progress. A hundred meters traveled in ten minutes. Then, just as slowly as it had lengthened, the tube begins to contract, disappearing completely after 5 to 10 minutes. The object seen on the ground about three quarters of an hour earlier is still there but Marius Carré now sees it green, like some wrapping paper. Suddenly it disappears. Paul Billard then believes he can see, in the pine woods, like a 2 CV going away.

Description: 5:40 p.m. Capt. Walter Gardin and Capt. Gordon W. Smith are flying over Zanthus, Western Australia, at 8,000 feet in a Piper Navajo single-engine airplane when they see a large cigar-shaped object surrounded by five smaller ones. The formation maintains a constant angle from their own flight path for more than 10 minutes, while they are flying at 224 mph. The large object then opens up its center and the smaller objects fly to and from the larger object. Ground air control reports no known air traffic in the area. At this point the radio fails at all frequencies until the objects fly away.

Event 30912 (0DD776BE)

Date: 8/25/1968
Location: Serafim Ferrreira sanitarium in Lins, São Paulo, Brazil
Description: 5:00 a.m. Hospital assistant Maria José Cintra of the Serafim Ferrreira sanitarium in Lins, São Paulo, Brazil, hears a noise like the braking of a car. Cintra readies herself to meet people needing medical assistance. She opens a glass door and asks the visitor if she is a patient. The visitor, just over 6 feet tall, answers in an unknown language. The visitor is wearing a blue satiny cape, matching shoes, and a dress with a high collar and long sleeves. She shows Cintra a vessel with engraved ornaments, and Cintra fills it with water from a fountain and offers her a doughnut. The visitor walks to the door of the sanitorium and through some flowerbeds. At this point Cintra notices a semicircular “pebble-like” light on the ground and a UFO floating 1–2 feet above the grass. She feels the force of an invisible rotating movement and notices that the visitor is no longer there. The UFO rises into the air, making soft sounds like those she heard when the visitor arrived. Later, she and the sanitorium manager and his wife find high-heeled footprints on the freshly waxed floor near the door. On the lawn they discover a spot of scorched grass that persists for 4 months. Subsequent investigation reveals a depression in the ground 5–7 inches deep, apparently made by a vehicle with a diameter of about 6.5 feet. From his bed, another patient has seen the UFO land some 260 feet from the fence of the sanitorium and remain there for 15 minutes.

Event 30913 (F6CFAE76)

Date: 8/25/1968
Description: In Aldaya, Valencia, Spain Juan Gazcon del Toro, age 44, was riding his bicycle home from work at 8:00 p.m., and was crossing a cultivated field when, as he turned a bend, saw a silvery gray object on the ground resting on four legs. Next to the object stood two short beings; the witness bicycled closer to the object, stopped 40 meters away from it, and then looked at it more closely. The craft had a small dome with an antennae on top, and an open door from which a silvery ladder extended to the ground. Both beings wore helmets with visors from which a rubber hose like protrusion was apparently connected to their chest area. They also wore wide belts and small boots, and their outfits were white in color. The beings stood by the object ignoring the witness, so he pedalled his bicycle away from the site and did not watch the object depart.

Locations: Gleeson, Colorado; Brown’s Peak
Description: 7:50 p.m. Pearl Christiansen is unchaining the driveway to her ranch near Gleeson, Colorado, when she notices a round, silver disc. She watches it for 5 minutes, then a second object appears, “very shiny and gold.” Both are hovering above 7,200-foot high Brown’s Peak. They remain for several hours, then just after midnight they back away behind the mountain. Mr. and Mrs. Willard Mayfield also see the objects. Daily Citizen reporter Cecil James and photographer Dan Tortorell visit the apparent site and find erratic burned patches of Dasylirion plants (charred at the base but not at the top) and grass. Rocks show evidence of high heat and are still hot to the touch two days later.

Description: Awakened by a flapping noise outside, hospital receptionist Maria Cintra in Lins, Sao Paulo State, Brazil opened the door to find a “foreign looking woman” wearing white light colored, shiny clothes, and a tight fitting hood, and holding an engraved glass bottle and a mug. Mrs. Cintra filled these for her from the drinking fountain. While she did so, the woman placed her hand on the witness shoulder and repeated several times the word “Rempaua.” Then the woman went out and entered a luminous, pear-shaped UFO craft, shaped with a flat bottom that was hovering 3 feet above the hospital’s lawn. Another person also saw the craft. It took off and climbed slowly in a spiral, with a repetition of the flapping sound.

Event 30919 (1BE88BBE)

Date: 8/27/1968
Location: BRAZIL, Lins
Description: (Translated from French) Dona Maria Cintra, a receptionist at the Clemente Ferreiro sanatorium near Lins, early in the morning, heard a loud noise and a prolonged whistle. (…) Then as suddenly as it had begun, the noise stopped. A few minutes later, Dona Maria heard knocking at the door. She went to open it and found herself in front of a tall woman with light eyes (…) her face looked as if it had been powdered with rice powder. She addressed the receptionist in an unknown language with staccato intonations as if she was having difficulty breathing. (…) Dona Maria thought she understood that she wanted water as she was holding a very pretty bottle engraved with incomprehensible motifs. Dona Maria then let her in and filled her bottle with water. She walked with the stranger outside to the car park (…) That’s when she saw in front of the stranger, at some distance, a circular, silver vessel that was oscillating slightly above the ground. The visitor got on board. Completely shaken, Dona Maria turned around and ran back inside the sanatorium, where, with other witnesses, she saw the craft rise and disappear 5… (Jean FERGUSON: “Les Humanoïdes…” - éd. Leméac, Ottawa, 1977, p. 40, 41) Mrs. J.M. Cintra gave water to a humanoid who said several times “Rempaua” or “Abaura” probably to thank her. (Henry DURRANT: “Premières enquêtes sur les Humanoïdes ET” - Laffont 1977 - p. 187) Maria Jose Cintra was woken up by a noise. At the entrance door stood a woman with a strange look. She spoke in an unknown language and handed Maria a cup and a glass bottle covered with beautiful engravings. Maria filled them. The woman said something resembling “Rempaua” and headed towards a shiny object, shaped like a pearl, which flew away with a great noise of wings.

Event 30930 (8046C572)

Date: 8/28/1968
Description: At 7:30 p.m. Pedro Aylagas Galvez saw a lighted object in his field in Ucero, Soria, Spain that descended 500 meters away and emitted a beam of light directed upward. It then made a strange, abrupt maneuver, and then shone its light at him, hitting him in the face and blinding him and also making his hair stand on end. The object descended in a spinning motion, stabilized, and displayed four large windows on top with four smaller ones underneath. As he watched, he saw four “small dark objects” ejected from its central part, which landed on the ground. After about a minute these arose and re-entered the hovering UFO, which then ascended and disappeared in seconds. The entire incident lasted about seven minutes. Others independently reported seeing the object depart.

Event 30939 (13BE921C)

Date: 8/29/1968
Description: Starting on this evening at 6:30 p.m., a group of children in Coleraine, Quebec, Canada on four consecutive evenings saw a strange being hanging onto a boulder overlooking a cemetery. He was a dwarfish humanoid about 4 feet tall, with a shaven or bald head, naked chest, heavy black beard, and with red and bumpy skin, “like that of a lizard.” This being would disappear into thin air unexpectedly. A roaring noise was also heard coming from an excavation at the foot of the boulder, and a kind of “flying saucer” was seen, about 30 feet wide and colored blue, white and red. It left a long trail of smoke, and each time it “looked as if it were trying to land behind the boulder.” The children were Denis Bogus, age 7, who first saw the object; his brothers Michael and Andre, and their uncle, George Bogus; other adults who subsequently observed the phenomena were Normand Daigle and Luc Cadorette.

Event 30940 (D005C9F5)

Date: 8/29/1968
Description: Larry Sorenson was driving from Ely to Delta, Utah on this night when he saw a stationary bright, white light close to the horizon. It turned a red color and became much brighter. Sorenson’s truck engine suddenly failed as he continued to drive towards the light. He got out and watched the light travel overhead and disappear behind him. It was changing colors from red to green to white and back to red. After the light was gone, the truck could be restarted. Sorenson noticed another car had also been stopped on the road. When he got home, the trip had taken almost two hours longer to complete than expected, and he had to account for two hours of missing time with a possible UFO abduction experience.

Event 30942 (32219759)

Date: 8/31/1968
Location: ARGENTINA, Mendoza
Description: (Translated from French) Two employees of the Mendoza casino were returning home when their car stopped inexplicably. Immediately they were surrounded by three beings, no more than one meter forty tall, bald and with an abnormally large skull. These creatures were dressed in sky blue jumpsuits and seemed to come from the circular craft that the witnesses saw on the ground. “We have just landed for the third time,” the strangers said. “We are studying the customs of your planet. The Sun is good,” they added sententiously, “without it we would not exist.” Then the three of them had fun engraving characters resembling Chinese writing on the Argentines’ vehicle with a tool similar to an electric welder. Then, using a beam of light as a bridge, they got back into their craft, dragging the witnesses with them, offered a short “television” program featuring waterfalls and explosions, and finally took off with a great noise. The witnesses also declared that they had been paralyzed by these beings who pricked their index and middle fingers to take a few drops of blood.

Description: Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina - Mrs. Emilia Larrude de Salazar was alone with her children at home this night when she heard very loud knocking at the front door at around eight p.m. Without opening the door, she pulled back a curtain and saw a very tall man-like figure over two meters (6.6 feet) in height, that appeared to have no hair or ears, and with a large mouth and teeth. The being wore a tight fitting dull black outfit and had very long dangling arms. The being’s eyes also shone with a brilliant light. The stunned witness could not move and watched the strange figure move away backwards without taking his gaze off her. Emilia thought she could hear a muffled laugh coming from the figure.

Description: 3:42 a.m. Juan Carlos Peccinetti and Fernando José Villegas are driving home after getting off work at a casino in Mendoza, Argentina. On the Calle Neuquén, their car stops and the lights go out. They find themselves unable to move and several humanoid beings standing near an enormous landed UFO. They receive telepathic messages from the aliens who make marks on the windshield and one side of their car and see a screen full of dystopian images. The beings prick their fingers and take blood samples before gong back to the UFO. However, the two later admit to making up the story.

Event 30961 (C584665D)

Date: 9/1/1968
Description: In Mendoza, Argentina two casino workers, Juan Carlos Peccinetti and Fernando Jose Villegas, were driving home after work at 3:30 a.m. when the engine of their car quit and the lights went out. Peccinetti had just started getting out of the car when both men found themselves paralyzed. They were soon face to face with three strange, five-foot tall beings with unusually large bald heads, wearing coveralls. Behind them was a circular or oval UFO 12 feet across and five feet high that was hovering four feet above the ground and directing a bright beam of light downward. When the entities came closer the witnesses heard a foreign-sounding voice repeat, “Do not fear.” Then they were told, “we have just made three journeys around the sun, studying customs and languages of the inhabitants of the system…mathematics is the universal language.” Meanwhile, another one of the entities, using a tool that looked like a soldering iron, was making inscriptions on the doors, windshield, and running boards of their car. The witnesses next saw a circular TV-like screen, on which there appeared first a waterfall, then a mushroom cloud, and then the waterfall again, this time with no water. Finally the beings took hold of the witnesses’ left hands and pricked their fingers three times, taking blood samples, after which they ascended to their machine along the light beam. There was an “explosive effect” and the object rose and disappeared. The men ran to a nearby military college to report their experience. They later retracted their story, but there are indications that they were coerced into doing so. In fact, authorities in Mendoza quickly made the “spreading of UFO rumors” a criminal offense to discourage widespread rumors on this and other cases that occurred about the same time.

Locations: Madrid, Spain; Royal Observatory of Madrid
Description: Night. Thousands of people in Madrid, Spain, see a bright object in the sky, causing a monumental traffic jam. The Spanish Air Force scrambles an F-104 jet to intercept it. The pilot climbs to 50,000 feet but the object is still above him, and he has to return for fuel. Air Force radar tracks the UFO moving slowly at 90,000 feet. A photo taken through a telescope at the Royal Observatory of Madrid shows a triangular object, apparently solid on one side and translucent in some sections. The object disappears at great speed. The Madrid Weather Bureau says it has no meteorological balloons aloft.

Event 30989 (931E232E)

Date: 9/10/1968
Locations: Omarunui Road southwest of Taradale, New Zealand; Gloucester Street; Napier Hospital outpatient clinic
Description: Evening. John Dow and Paul Franklin are on the Omarunui Road southwest of Taradale, New Zealand. They see a circular object with a red and green light that is only a few feet in diameter and glowing white. Heading toward the source, they watch as the UFO disappears behind a cloud. After crossing a bridge, they see the object again, hovering on the opposite side of the river. The object glows intensely and speeds toward the automobile from the rear. Panicking, they try to jump out of the car, which is traveling at 35 mph, but get tangled up and the car veers out of control. Both of them fall out the left door as the bright UFO hovers 2 feet above the car roof. The car crashes into the store of a fruit dealer on Gloucester Street. A crowd gathers around the two young men, still dazed and shocked. Nearly 24 hours later the witnesses are treated for “bruises and abrasions” at the Napier Hospital outpatient clinic because “their clothes were sticking to them.” Dow is charged with reckless driving, but the circumstances convince the court to drop the charge and the insurance company pays for the damages.

Event 30991 (141024D4)

Date: 9/11/1968
Location: SPAIN, San Marti de Tous (Barcelona)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 11:45 PM the witness, intrigued by a glowing shape at the top of the hill, got out of his car and climbed the hill. He saw four bright shapes with metallic reflections, which he described as “eights” composed of two balls, the lower one bigger than the upper one. The things quickly climbed the hill towards the object, taking a bouncing step (the upper ball stretched and seemed to pull the lower part, producing a faint whistle. The “eight” measuring between 40 and 50 cm long then fell back into its original shape and so on) and disappeared underneath the large orange dome (5 m high). They seemed to ignore the witness’s presence. The object immediately flew away at great speed. (September 11, 1968)

Description: Farmer Marius Magnan sees three dull metallic, gray, football-shaped UFOs at an altitude of 2,500 feet and 2 miles away at Ste. Anne, Manitoba. They are traveling northwest to southeast in a vertical orientation at tremendous speed. The UFOs are discharging white substance from the upper surface just like popcorn. The white substance streams upward from two of the objects and downward from the third. After they disappear, a white, fibrous substance falls and settles on foliage, buildings, and power lines. The University of Manitoba analyzes a sample and finds it to be “cellulose-like and unstable,” with a uniform fiber diameter of 5 microns, and probably rayon coated with a gummy substance.

Event 31044 (D1E2C783)

Date: 9/23/1968
Location: FRANCE, Roncenay
Description: (Translated from French) Two young witnesses were walking back at 03:00 on a small road, after having abandoned their moped due to lack of fuel. At the turn of the road, hidden by the grove, they saw a round object on the ground, of a luminous orange-red color, resting on metal feet about 1 m from the ground. All around was a luminous halo produced by numerous projectors arranged like portholes. The upper part in the shape of a dome was of a dark color. The length of the craft was 15 to 18m, the height 1.20m. Surprised, they hid in a ditch and observed the object from 150m away, as well as three beings moving with very strong light sources in their left hand. They seemed to be looking for something and ran without touching the ground, above the grass, at about 60 cm. One of the beings approached the witnesses, who fled in terror. They did not see the craft take off. One of the witnesses, Guy Lemarque, reported to the investigators that the three beings sometimes moved by making jumps of 100m, as if they were sliding, so quickly that the movement could not be followed.

Event 31061 (EEB0E48D)

Date: 9/26/1968
End date: 9/27/1968
Locations: Vila Baumer; Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil
Description: 6:00 a.m. Industrial chemist Henrique Schneider Jr. gets up and checks the fire in the kiln next to his house in Vila Baumer in the northern part of Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil. He comes across a strange object in the pottery yard about 16 feet away. It is a cone-shaped device about 13 feet high sitting on a tripod under which a bluish light illuminates the ground, and it has a rectangular opening through which comes a treadmill. On the treadmill are two squared cylinders standing on end, both motionless. Schneider feels paralyzed and begins to converse telepathically with the nearest cylinder, which answers his questions clearly and briefly about where they come from, which is another star system, and they are investigating global warming on earth. Soon the treadmill goes back up into the object, the entrance closes, and it takes off with a hissing sound. The next day, Schneider finds a burned circle of grass just over 2 feet in diameter at the landing site. Inside this is a smaller circle of compressed grass and three holes where the tripod stood.

Location: BRAZIL, Joinville (Santa Catarina)
Description: (Translated from French) In the night, around 03:00, Henrique Schneider, witness of the landing of a conical craft, was momentarily paralyzed and had the opportunity to converse for 10 minutes by telepathy with… some kind of metal plate that slid out of the craft along an inclined plane. The answers to his questions were brief and stereotyped. In addition to an oil smell that permeated the landing site for a long time, the next day the footprints of the tripod on which the device rested were found. Inside this triangle, a circle of 65 cm in diameter was burned and 3 years later nothing had grown back yet.

Locations: Australia; Europe; USSR
Description: Philip J. Klass writes a letter to Robert A. Frosch, wanting to know who has financed James E. McDonald’s visits to Australia to investigate UFOs and who would fund his upcoming trip to Europe and the USSR. In late 1967, McDonald had secured a modest grant from the Office of Naval Research in order to study cloud formations in Australia. While there, McDonald conducts some UFO research on his own time. Klass mounts an extended, concerted campaign against McDonald, arguing that he has squandered government funds. The ONR responds by announcing that they had known of McDonald’s UFO interests and have no objections to his personal hobbies. The University of Arizona comes to McDonald’s defense, announcing that his UFO research was done on his own time, and has no adverse impact on his regular teaching and research duties at the university.

Event 31073 (DB1DF397)

Date: 9/30/1968
Description: At around three a.m. Guy Lemargue, age 16, was walking with a friend on a small country road in Roncenay, Aude, France when they both saw, about 150 yards away, a disc-shaped red-orange luminous UFO, about 50 feet in diameter and feet in height, resting on legs. It had a row of portholes all around the edge. Beside it, several luminous entities of small stature were “maneuvering” with very strong lights sources in their hands, which they shone on the ground. They walked or floated two feet above the ground, and sometimes made sudden gliding leaps of a hundred yards. One creature approached to within 15 feet of the teens, and they reported that they could see that its hands were shaped like pincers or crab-like claws. Realizing that their presence had been detected, the boys ran away.

Event 31075 (91BB0F7D)

Date: 10/1968
Location: BELGIUM, Ghent (East Flanders)
Description: (Translated from French) André Kesteleyn was at 04:00 in the morning at the bus stop of Steenakkerstraat, to go to work. He heard a whistling that was getting louder. He thought it was a fighter plane, but then he saw the UFO. It was a saucer with a dome and round windows that were lit up. The UFO was coming from the city and flew at a very high speed above the roofs of the houses. For a fraction of a second the object stopped in front of the witness. The object was very close, the witness hoped to see the “pilots” through the windows, but he saw no movement. When the bus arrived, he was still shocked by what he had just experienced. For the record: since this observation, André Kesteleyn has never been sick again, not even a cold.

Pereira sees four beings around it wearing blue tunics and red skirts. One is on the platform with a weapon in its hand, another is picking up earth samples, the third is looking at his tractor’s engine, and the fourth is inside the object at the instrument panel. The being with the weapon fires it and a luminous ball hits Pereira in the stomach, paralyzing him. The entities go inside, and a transparent dome encloses them. The object ascends and shoots off at high speed. With difficulty, Pereira climbs off the tractor and stumbles to the road where a friend takes him home. Later he is given a medical examination by Antônio Geris and summoned to a Brazilian Air Force facility where he is questioned and held for three days.

Event 31086 (FC070C21)

Date: 10/2/1968
Description: In Lins, Sao Paolo State, Brazil at 6:20 a.m., while oiling his bulldozer’s engine, Sr. Doribio Pereira saw a golden colored cigar-shaped craft hovering a foot or so above the ground, only a few feet away, Next he saw a man standing on a platform that extended from the base of the object, who drew a weapon resembling an electric drill from his sleeve. The being pointed it at the witness, and when it emitted a bright flash Pereira found himself paralyzed. He could see that inside the cigar, which had a “glass roof,” there was a man using some sort of keyboard with both hands, and outside the craft on an extended platform stood three more men. One of them was taking soil samples with a “conch shaped object.” Then the craft flashed a very vivid light three times, the platform retracted, and underneath the craft appeared “something like an electric polisher, rotating at high speed.” After that it took off with a slight sound. The men were described as thin, about 5’5” tall, and dressed in blue knee-length robes, hoods, and brown sandals with cross garters to the knees. Pereira, in a state of near shock, was given a lift to his home, and from there he reported to the Town Council. Because of his nervous state he was sent for a medical examination, during which Dr. Antonio Geris found him entirely normal. Officials of the Brazilian Air Force later subjected him to an intense interrogation.

Description: 7:52 p.m. John D. Hickey and his family are driving near West Morehead Street in Charlotte, North Carolina. While stopped at a traffic light, he sees a black object like a short cigar moving on his left, but it stops and hovers above a low building about 500 feet away. Suddenly three large gray-white lights shaped like television picture tubes turn on, each about 22 inches in diameter. A small black arm-like device moves slowly out of one end, extends a few feet, then stops. A blue light is at one end. The three large lights begin to blink slowly, then rapidly for 25 seconds. The blue light goes out, the arm retracts, the large lights blink more slowly until they stop. The lights go out and the object moves to the east.

Description: (Translated from French) A farmer found a dead cow near 7 circular traces of burned grass. A few days later, mushrooms the size of basketballs grew on these traces. Around the date of the discovery of the dead animal, the neighbors had noticed unusual lights in the sky. (Janet and Colin BORD: “Modern Mysteries of the World” - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 307) A civilian pilot had noticed a strange drawing on the ground and went there with the military. As they headed towards the place where a saucer had previously landed, they discovered a circle of 6 feet in diameter where the earth was scorched. In the circle, eight giant white mushrooms had grown. One of the mushrooms measured 3 feet in diameter. - In the province of Santa Fé, other extraordinary mushrooms were discovered under the same circumstances.

Event 31114 (4C6F3E8D)

Date: 10/15/1968
Description: Driving across the desert near Kingman, Arizona with a hitchhiker at around 3:00 a.m., Michael Watts saw a “falling star” that stopped in midair, and then shot back up into the sky. The two men then stopped the car and got out to investigate a distant light source on the ground. When they walked up to it the light on the ground proved to be four lights, one of which took off into the air. Nearby they could dimly see two four-foot-tall beings with large heads and abnormally long arms, and heard a sound like digging. The hitchhiker then suggested they go back to the car for a gun, and the figures vanished. Other maneuvering lights were then observed. Then something sounding like a train passed by at a distance: it had a string of lighted windows in which silhouettes of passengers sitting up inside were visible. After this, a dark lens-shaped object having a flat dome on top and a row of pulsating multi-colored lights around the edge approached them quite closely. As the dawn approached and it became possible to see better, the remaining lights on the ground could be seen to be connected to a palely lit cigar-shaped object. Watts believes he may have experienced a memory lapse at this point. Cloven footprints were found at the site where the beings had been seen. The hitchhiker could not be identified and was therefore unavailable for an interview by the investigators.

Description: (Translated from French) A whole family was drawn outside by the furious barking of the dog. They were then able to see an object of purple color moving at three meters from the ground and a strong smell of ammonia was felt. The object was spherical in shape and its diameter was about ten meters. It was possible to distinguish two occupants, as the UFO was partially transparent. The pilots looked like normal human beings. The observation lasted a few minutes, after which the craft suddenly rose and disappeared into space. (October 18, 1968)

Event 31123 (93DA12A8)

Date: 10/18/1968
Locations: Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina; Mostar
Description: 5:00 p.m. Hundreds of witnesses view a conical object that appears above Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, traveling from northwest to southeast. The UFO at first appears bright blue then changes first to a whitish-blue then to red. When it reaches a point just south of Sarajevo and northeast of the city of Mostar, the object turns to the east. It remains in view from 90 minutes to two hours. Members of the Akademski Astronomsko-Astronautiki Klub take photos of the object and, six months later, issue a report on their investigation of the incident. It estimates that the UFO was flying at an altitude of 16 miles and a speed of 20 mph, probably guided by air currents and not self-propelled, and most likely was a military reconnaissance balloon.

Event 31124 (65364EED)

Date: 10/19/1968
Location: USSR, Tyuratam
Description: (Translated from French) A few days after the Americans had put their first occupied Apollo cabin into orbit, the Soviet Union had already launched a space vessel “Zond 5” towards the Moon, which was nothing more than a Soviet Soyouz without an orbital compartment. On October 19th, Cosmos 248 was propelled to 520 km in altitude by a Scarp rocket and began to orbit the Earth at an inclination of 62°. The following day, an identical rocket, launched from the same place, reached an orbit of the same inclination, but much higher; it evolved between 840 and 3380 km. After several trajectory corrections, Cosmos 249 passed in a flash above Cosmos 248 and exploded. At the moment, the NORAD specialists who recorded the explosion did not understand well. The radars recorded 81 different fragments in place of Cosmos 249, while they did not yet know that it was a decided explosion. (1968, October 19th and 20th)

Event 31141 (69FE7F8B)

Date: 10/24/1968
Locations: Minot AFB, North Dakota; Bowbells, North Dakota; Launch Facility Oscar-7
Description: 2:15–5:18 a.m. Sixteen military personnel stationed throughout the Minuteman ICBM missile complex at Minot AFB, North Dakota, report a very large, brightly illuminated aerial object, alternating colors from brilliant white to orange-red and green, with the ability to hover, accelerate rapidly, and abruptly change direction. Ground radar tracks an unidentified target correlated with a visual orange glow and radios it (saying, “Someone is seeing flying saucers again”) to the attention of the USAF crew of a B-52H Stratofortress bomber at 2,000 feet as a UFO target 24 miles to the northwest. It shifts to 15 miles at 3:35 a.m. RAPCON alerts the pilots (instructor pilot Maj. Bradford Runyon and copilot Maj. James Partin) to the location of the UFO near Bowbells, North Dakota, which the B-52 navigator Capt. Patrick D. McCaslin observes on the radarscope maintaining a three-mile distance throughout a standard 180° turnaround. Radar navigator Maj. Charles Richey captures the tracking on film. As the B-52 starts its descent back to Minot AFB, the UFO appears to close distance to one mile at a high rate of speed, pacing the aircraft for nearly 20 miles before disappearing off the radarscope. Both B-52 UHF radios cannot transmit during the close radar encounter with the UFO and when the radarscope film is recorded. Shortly afterwards, RAPCON provides vectors for the B-52 to overfly a stationary UFO on or near the ground. After turning onto the downwind leg of the traffic pattern, the pilots observe a large, illuminated UFO ahead of the aircraft for several minutes, before turning onto the base leg over the UFO while observing it at close range. After the B-52 lands, both outer and inner-zone intrusion alarms are activated at the remote missile Launch Facility Oscar-7. The duration of the reported observations is over three hours. Other witnesses include Capt. Thomas Goduto, S/Sgt James F. Bond, S/Sgt William E. Smith, A1C Robert O’Connor, A1C Joseph P. Jablonski, and A1C Gregory Adams. The chief of the 862nd Combat Support Group, Lt. Col. Arthur J. Werlich, is designated as Blue Book liaison and he calls the report in at 4:30 p.m. after SAC investigations, an analysis of the radarscope film, and the B-52 crew debriefing. Werlich provides Blue Book with selected data through October 31. On November 13, Blue Book chief Lt. Col. Hector Quintanilla completes his evaluation and forwards the final report to SAC headquarters. It is a single-page letter providing several possible explanations for the various reports, along with 11 pages of attachments cobbled together in support. He attributes the B-52 radar contact and loss of UHF transmission to “a plasma similar to ball lightning.”

Event 31164 (9A1949C3)

Date: 10/31/1968
Locations: Colorado; Great Falls; McMinnville
Description: The Colorado project delivers its report, Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects, to the Air Force. The first two sections, conclusions and recommendations, are written by Condon himself. He concludes that “further extensive study of UFOs probably cannot be justified in the expectation that science will be advanced thereby.” It is a clear signal to shut down Project Blue Book. Yet 30% of its cases are unexplained. Condon says a UFO cover-up is unthinkable because no one could keep such a secret for so long. He refutes the claim that the CIA has installed an agent within the project. He disapproves of UFO “amateurists,” especially NICAP. The project ignored old cases because they only offered witness testimony, are probably misidentifications, and it makes little sense to reinterview witnesses. But this means ignoring the most compelling cases of the past 20+ years. Condon rejects the ETH because it is so unlikely that aliens can get here from there. This attitude suggests that Condon’s approach is fundamentally antiempirical. The report also includes summaries of field studies, photographic evidence, direct and indirect physical evidence, optical and radar cases, and astronaut sightings. In the field studies section, Roy Craig concedes that some of the older cases suggest something extraordinary (Great Falls, RB-47). William K. Hartmann divides photo cases into fabrications, misidentifications, poor image quality, and clear images that lack sufficient data. Great Falls and McMinnville are the only two that he considers unusual. Gordon Thayer discusses the predominance of anomalous propagation in radar cases. In finding natural explanations, Thayer often disregards witness testimony. The rest of the report is mostly padding.

The next day it also exploded, into 117 pieces this time, after passing close to Cosmos 248. (…) At that moment it was not yet very well imagined that the USSR had undertaken the development of an anti-satellite satellite system! (November 1, 1968)

Event 31170 (7D4B97B5)

Date: 11/1/1968
Location: FRANCE (unspecified - south of France)
Description: (Translated from French) Famous case of “Doctor X”, born in 1930, biologist and musician. The doctor was awoken shortly before 04:00 in the morning by the crying of his 14-month-old baby. He found the child very excited, making gestures towards the window. Through the shutters the doctor saw flashes of light but didn’t really pay attention and gave the baby a bottle of water. It was raining very hard. There were more flashes coming from the south, but no thunder. When he opened a window onto the terrace he saw two disk-shaped objects, horizontal, silver-white on top, bright red underneath. On top there were several vertical and one horizontal antenna and a white beam illuminating the fog beneath the disks, which were approaching each other until they made contact, the beams overlapping, the flashes ceasing while the two objects merged. After a while the disk turned vertical, swept the house with a beam of light, there was a kind of explosion and the disk left behind a whitish glow slowly dissipated by the wind. In the following days the doctor noticed that not only had the bruise he had sustained disappeared, but also the after-effects of a wound he had received during the Algerian War. However, he had lost weight, felt very disoriented and after a day of cramps and abdominal pain, he developed a triangular pigmentation around his navel. Now, in the night of November 13-14 the same triangle appeared on the baby’s belly. This pigmentation remained visible for 2 or 3 days before disappearing. But its appearance was recurrent each year, as it was filmed again in 1985. (Michel Aimé 1969; Lob/Gigi 1975; Jacques VALLEE: “Autres dimensions” - trad. Robert Laffont 1989 - p. 198 to 200) etc…

Description: At 4:00 a.m. a Filipino farmer north of Baras in Rizal province, the Philippines saw a red light come down and land 100 yards away from him, making a hissing sound like an arc welder. He approached with a flashlight and encountered a white object, the size of a VW Beetle, on small wheels. It had six big exhaust tubes in the rear and a transparent canopy. There were two “ordinary Caucasian” looking pilots in the craft wearing white coveralls or flightsuits, with earphones on their heads… The craft took off vertically without making as much noise.

Event 31176 (394553B1)

Date: 11/1/1968
Description: A third close encounter of the third kind in the Philippines was made that same day by another farmer, bicycling near the site of the first reported incident at 11:00 a.m. He saw the same “strange car” downhill from his location. As he coasted down toward the object on his bicycle he saw two men; one was outside the object “looking around” and was “very tall” and looked to be a normal Caucasian, the other man was inside the object. Both wore white coveralls and what appeared to be earphones. He stopped 20 yards past the object, looked back, and saw that the man outside the object was watching him. He couldn’t decide whether he should go back to speak to him, but while he was thinking this the man got into his vehicle. With a roar, the craft moved up the hill and then ascended silently into the sky.

Event 31178 (684520A9)

Date: 11/1/1968
Description: In the early morning, pre-dawn hours a French physician living in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department of southern France, “Doctor X”, was awakened by the sound of his 14-month-old son crying. His son was standing in his crib pointing at the window. Behind the shutter a very bright light could be seen moving. After the child had gone back to sleep, the doctor went out onto the balcony of his house, located on a hillside, and he saw two glowing discs in the sky, silvery white on top and bright red underneath. Each had a tall antenna on top and one on either side, and they were directing a narrow beam of white light towards the ground below.

The two objects slowly drew closer and merged into a single object, about 200 feet in diameter and 50 feet thick. The single object then approached the doctor, and tilted 90 degrees so that the beam of light struck him. He then heard a loud bang, and the object evaporated into a whitish cloud that dissipated with the wind. A thin thread of light rose high into the sky before vanishing as a white dot, and exploding like a firework.

A few days earlier the doctor had accidentally cut a vein in his leg while chopping wood, and a decade earlier he had stepped on a landmine in Algeria, leaving his right side partially paralyzed. After this close encounter incident he found that the swelling and pain from his leg injury had vanished, and the chronic after effects of the injuries he had sustained in the Algerian war improved dramatically in the days that followed.

Also a few days after the encounter, the doctor and his son each developed a strange, reddish, triangular mark on the abdomen, and this mark recurred in successive years. Strange paranormal phenomena began to take place around the doctor and his family, including poltergeist activity and unexplained disturbances in electrical circuits. The doctor began to have mysterious meetings with a strange, nameless man he called “Mr. Bied.” He would hear a whistling noise inside his head and would feel guided to walk or drive to a certain location where he would meet the man, who would discuss his UFO experience and paranormal matters. Mr. Bied caused him to experience apparent teleportation and time travel, including a distressing episode with alternative landscapes on a road that he knows does not exist. The stranger also once visited the doctor at his home accompanied by a three foot tall humanoid with mummified skin, which remained motionless while its eyes darted quickly around the room. The doctor experienced uncontrolled levitation on at least one occasion.

He is lying in bed when he is awakened by his crying 14-month-old son. He sees two luminous objects outside his house. They are coming close together and merging about 590 feet away. A vertical beam of light is aimed at him for a second as the object tilts, and then the display vanishes with a sort of explosion, leaving behind a slowly dissolving cloud. Shortly afterwards, the man’s leg heals and his war wound is better. He also experiences nightmares, stomach pains, and a red pigmentation appears around his navel, forming a triangle. He goes to a dermatologist but does not mention the UFO; the doctor is stumped. The man’s son also develops a red triangle. In November 1984, a French radio reporter records the gradual reappearance of the triangle on X’s abdomen.

Event 31208 (CEC4D9E2)

Date: 11/9/1968
Description: A couple in Lorain, Ohio was awakened at 5:45 a.m. by a loud thump on the roof of their trailer. The bump was followed by the sound of something moving near their bedroom window. When they looked out the window, they saw a huge face staring down at them. The creature’s two front paws or hands were resting on the windowsill. The husband lept out of bed and frantically searched for his gun, but by the time he located it the creature was gone from the window. Running on two legs, it dashed around the east side of the house, weaving from side to side, and crossed two streets before disappearing into the woods. The creature stood about six-feet tall. Its front side was grayish brown, and the rest of the body was a darker shade of the same color. According to the couple, it resembled “a large bipedal lion of around 600 pounds.”

Event 31209 (329E58DC)

Date: 11/9/1968
Description: At 11:30 p.m. in El Salto, Santiago, Chile two young sisters, Afrodit and Eugenia Lovazzano El-Far, 12 and 9 years of age respectively, were playing on a Sunday night in front of their home when they saw a large ball of fire approaching from the nearby mountains. It came suddenly to a stop in front of the girls. Afrodit saw it first as she was on her bicycle, and noticed the red light suddenly appear from behind the mountain, resembling a brilliant star. The red light seemed “gelatinous” in nature and soon changed to a sphere with a greenish tint. Both girls could now clearly see what appeared to be a small “woman” inside the luminous sphere. The strange entity had a large mouth, which seemed to be moving constantly, apparently calling the girls; it also had a pair of large pointed ears. Moments later, the small woman exited the sphere and approached Afrodit, who tried to run but was unable to move due to a strong “pulling” force. It pulled her by her blouse and suspended her in midair. When Eugenia reached the kitchen door the force seemed to release Afrodit, who suffered from earaches, hoarseness, and what appeared to have been scratches on her waist area. It was later determined that a third girl, 12-year-old Monica Patricia Lagos also saw the bizarre incident, which she described as a ball of fire that floated around over the ground and then disappeared in a flash.

Description: The Condon Committee, funded by the USAF, releases an extensive report on 90 UAP sightings to the National Academy of Sciences and later to the American public. It concludes “nothing has come from the study of UFOs” in the last two decades and further study “cannot be justified.” Project Blue Book scientific advisor J. Allen Hynek later wrote the Committee ignored key evidence and could not explain over a quarter of the cases examined.

Reference: Johnson
Reference: Meriden (CT) Morning Record, November 20, 1968). Later that evening a UFO was detected on radar at the Cumbica AFB in Brazil at 8:45 p.m. At 11:00 p.m. four college students in Pirassununga, Brazil saw a blue disc approach within 30 meters of the car, at which point their car engine failed. After ten minutes the UFO moved off down the road in front of the car and they were able to restart it and continue. However, their car nearly ran down three tall figures standing in the road who were dressed in pale-blue spacesuits. (Sources: Walter Buhler, FSR Case Histories, April 1971, p. 13; David F.

Event 31232 (C1ACEEB3)

Date: 11/20/1968
Location: Hanbury, Staffordshire, England
Description: 5:45 p.m. Milan and Doris Milakovic and their son are driving southwest out of Hanbury, Staffordshire, England, when several rabbits run across the road from their left. Suddenly they see a brilliant object. They stop the car and watch as it rises from a field on their left, silently pass over the car, and move toward a solitary house about 300 feet away on the right where it stops and hovers, “quivering like jelly.” The air temperature seems to drop. For approximately 5 minutes, they see what appear to be several humanoid figures walking across the bright top of the UFO, which is as wide as the house. Intermittently, some of the figures bend down as though looking at something in the part of the object below the rim. Then the UFO begins moving up in a pulsating or jerky movement. The intensity of its light increases and Milakovic feels like his eyes are burning. Thoroughly frightened, Milakovic pushes his wife and son back into the car and speeds away from the scene.

Date: 11/20/1968
Description: The Milakovic family was driving down their farm road in Hanbury, England at 5:30 p.m. when they noticed rabbits fleeing. They then noticed a landed domed disc with white, amber, and green lights and a transparent dome in a field to the left. The brilliant object rose from the field and hovered above a house. It appeared to “quiver like a jelly.” Several human-looking figures were seen walking around on the deck of the craft, bent down. The UFO left with jerky movements, and the bright lights from the craft hurt their eyes.

Event 31236 (F6248AB2)

Date: 11/21/1968
Description: A woman was on a bus that stopped for a while in Macedo, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. At 9:30 p.m. she saw at the bus station there, about 40 yards away, a domed metallic UFO the size of a small car, which was hovering only a few feet above the ground. Around the rim of the craft were a row of changing lights that gave the impression of it rotating, and beneath it a patch of violet light was cast onto the ground. A door in the object was open, with three steps below it, and standing in front of the UFO were three six-foot tall figures of human appearance, wearing skin-tight, shiny black coveralls and shiny black boots. The suits were one-piece, with hoods covering the heads, so that only the face was left exposed. One of the men was carrying a cylinder 2 feet long and 3 inches thick, with a thinner tube of aluminum like material coiled around it in a spiral. Facing the beings was a crowd of about 20 people, including three police officers, who had their guns drawn, and two police cars were parked nearby. After a short while a beam of silver light shot forth from the cylinder and the people closest to the beings were paralyzed, while the others felt dazed as if in a faint. The UFOnauts calmly walked back to their craft, which they then boarded, and the craft took off and rapidly climbed out of sight. The duration of the entire incident was about 15 minutes.

When he rounds a bend he sees a brilliant yellowish-white light about 200 feet ahead of him and 50–75 feet above the road. As he approaches, the car radio fades into static. Then the object emits a beam of well-defined light about 5–6 feet across that illuminates the trees and causes his engine and radio to cut out as it passes over his car. The object changes color to orange-red and ascends at a high rate of speed, disappearing in less than 15 seconds. The car engine starts spontaneously afterward.

Description: 6:00 p.m. Elaine Pelchy is driving with her 2-year-old son and dog on Highway 174 south of Marcellus, New York, when they see an object with five red, blinking lights about 100 feet in front of her car and heading southeast. The radio gets a lot of static and the English setter begins to get nervous, clawing at the window and putting its head over its eyes and ears. The boy starts crying, then the car engine begins to sputter. The object executes a U-turn and moves to the northwest as the lights change to blinking blue and white. Suddenly, the UFO stops and changes to a white, dome-shaped object with a “fluorescent star” next to it. The larger object merges into the star and disappears. Pelchy drops her son off at her mother-in-law’s, then returns on the same route. The dog starts to whine again as a light the size of a basketball fluctuates in intensity and zigzags across the sky. She goes home but returns to the scene with a neighbor and the light is still visible and maneuvering.

Date: 11/25/1968
Description: On this date in 1968, at just after 6 p.m. on Highway 174 outside of the town of Marcellus in upstate New York, a mother and her small son saw a domed-disc UFO with a red blinking light on top. As it approached to within 100 feet of their car the engine lost power and the radio filled with static. Their dog cried, clawed to get under the seat, and covered its eyes and ears with its paws. The UFO moved away then, but continued to pace them down the road. Once more it made a pass at the car, and again the engine lost power and the radio wouldn’t work.

Event 31300 (BC6089FE)

Date: 12/1968
Location: USA, Point Isabel
Description: (Translated from French) Around 10 pm there had been a noise near the house, “like something hitting metal”. Larry, his father and a relative, Arnold Hubbard, went out to see what it was. Then from the other side of the house, they heard rustling in the grass. “We went to get a flashlight,” said Larry, “and then we saw… The monster emerged from the bush about 15 meters away. It was walking towards us and seemed to be more than three meters tall, with shoulders about a meter and a half wide, and arms as long as a monkey’s.” In the light of the flashlight the body seemed hairy and rather brown, the eyes shone above a nose that Larry said he couldn’t describe. The teeth protruded, the ears pointed. (…) “The thing put me in a kind of trance,” said Larry. “I couldn’t speak.” When Larry shone the flashlight on the monster, it fell to the ground and disappeared. Then a few minutes later, they heard it again, near the garage. Frightened, Larry’s father went back home and brought a .22 long rifle and passed it to Hubbard. As the men crossed the fields, the monster suddenly stood up, clearly visible, fifteen meters away. Larry shone the flashlight on it and Hubbard fired. The first shot hit. The monster gave a horrible cry. (…) Then, inexplicably, in front of the three men, the “creature” was suddenly enveloped in a white mist. In less than a minute the mist disappeared, then darkness.

Event 31307 (DE1C1166)

Date: Early 12/1968
Location: NEW ZEALAND, Te Mata (Havelock North)
Description: (Translated from French) (Before the 20th) The primary school students saw a UFO at close range and were all scared. They noticed a window and an antenna on the saucer-shaped object which hovered at low altitude around a clump of poplars making a kind of “tic-tac” sound. It was as big as half the school swimming pool. The children had reported the object to their teacher. Suddenly the object shot up and flew off in the direction of Hastings, leaving behind a trail of vapor. In Hastings a teacher saw for about ten minutes an object making a kind of come-and-go motion. The nearby aerodrome and civil aviation in Napier confirmed that at the time of the sighting there were no planes in flight in that region. (1968, Early December)

Event 31323 (AF944DD7)

Date: 12/10/1968
Description: This event took place about one-quarter mile from the hydroelectric dam on Lake Secession, near Abbeville, South Carolina at 12:30 a.m. A man was alone in his lake front cottage when he heard a whirring, dynamo sound coming from outside. He also saw an amber-colored flashing light reflecting off the trees outside, so he walked outdoors and saw a disc-shaped UFO directly overhead, not more than ten feet up. The craft was silvery metallic looking, saucer shaped with a smaller dome on top, 35 feet in diameter, about 10 feet high, and it had four sets of lights which bathed the surrounding area in amber light. The witness was terrified and unable to move. After hovering overhead, the craft backed away some 20 feet and descended to where it was almost at eye level with the witness, who was standing on a deck on stilts above the lake, 8 feet off the ground. The dome had a round porthole, but he could not see if there was anyone or anything inside. Nevertheless, he “knew” that someone was there and was looking at him. The craft next rose up, coming directly forward and hovering overhead again. The experience lasted an estimated five minutes, although there were gaps in his memory as to what exactly happened next. The craft finally sped off effortlessly about 200 yards, and hovered momentarily over the lake. It then sped off at a 45 degree angle into the sky towards the southwest at a tremendous speed, quickly vanishing from sight.

Description: (Translated from French) From 18:58 to 20:00, 20 passengers of the “Armor” train observed the maneuvers of a white luminous ball that followed the train. This ball of intense brightness moved on a trajectory that faithfully followed that of the train. It went up and down, sometimes passing a few hundred meters in altitude, sometimes at ground level. Near the agglomerations it lingered above the houses, then caught up with the train a little further on. At Lamballe it stopped vertically to resume its curious game until its arrival in Rennes where it took altitude and suddenly disappeared into the clouds.

On his night patrol around the buildings of the “Ultrasonic” factory, Mr. Drivière was very surprised to hear a high-pitched and powerful voice say: “700 K… 700 K… 700 K”. Believing he was dealing with pranksters, he circled the building, when the same voice again uttered the words “700 KA”. He then observed the object 100 or 150 meters away from him, moving quickly from the south-east to the north-west.

In the following minutes, the current is cut and the radio fails. The diesel backup generator fails to start. When the object moves away, it starts working normally. The object will remain visible for another 15 minutes. (December 16)

Event 31355 (A32D9AAF)

Date: 12/21/1968
Location: IN SPACE
Description: (Translated from French) Apollo VIII: presence detected of a space disc during the circumlunar voyage. (Philippe SCHNEYDER: “Ovni, premier bilan” - ed. du Rocher 1983, p. 233) On December 21, at 6 pm a mysterious, luminous object remained visible for about an hour and moved towards the west. The object was photographed at 7:26 pm by the photographic telescope of Professor Furia of the Campo dei Fiori Observatory. The “Corriere della Sera” of December 22, 68 reported: “…the specialists were unable to give any explanation to this phenomenon, at least one of them located it in a hypothetical field.” (S. DELLO STROLOGO: “Ce que les Gouvernements vous cachent sur les S.V.” De Vecchi 1975 p. 186-187) Apollo 8, Dec. 1968 (Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, William A. Anders) Frank Borman and Jim Lovell reported the presence of a “bogie” (ghost) at fifteen kilometers altitude. (J. Allen HYNEK and Jacques VALLEE: “Aux limites de la réalité” - ed. Albin Michel 1978, p84) During this flight, at the moment when the command module emerged from behind the moon, Lovell transmitted: “We have just been informed that Santa Claus exists!”. As it was the eve of Christmas, most people on earth understood that it was a message given with Lovell’s humor, for the many children watching television. Others suppose that this term, used for the first time by Walter Schirra in the Mercury 8 flight, has another meaning. The eve of Christmas Borman and Lovell nevertheless reported having seen a UFO. Rumors circulate that NASA would have captured phrases in an unknown language (vog: by Berlitz and Moore e.a.), on one of the frequencies used during the mission.

Event 31363 (F4064DB6)

Then suddenly the voice of James Lovell was heard announcing: We have just been informed that Santa Claus does exist! The man had just experienced a violent surprise, as indicated by the telemetry controls. His pulse had reached 120 beats per minute, while during the previous 93 hours, his heart rate had been perfectly normal. Troubling coincidence, this silence, which Apollo 8 had inexplicably just shown, can be explained by the presence of an external magnetic field, disrupting the radio links with the ground.

Event 31365 (3767A6AC)

Date: Late 12/1968
Locations: Patagonia; Nahuel Huapi Lake, Argentina; Puerto Blest
Description: 11:30 a.m. Traumatologist Sebastian José Tarda is on vacation in Patagonia and leading a group of secondary school students on a motorboat field trip on Nahuel Huapi Lake, Argentina. Tarda is taking photos of the lake shore near Puerto Blest, but does not notice anything unusual. When one slide is developed, it shows a blurry white object against a mountainous background. An analysis by the Argentine UFO group Circulo de Investigación Cientifico Espacial states that the image is not caused by a lens flare, damaged emulsion, or a known object. Another analysis suggests that the object moved while the shutter was depressed. Ground Saucer Watch considers it a lens flare.

Event 31376 (799ADA6C)

Date: 12/28/1968
Location: AUSTRALIA, Goulburn (New South Wales)
Description: (Translated from French) A resident of Goulburn, while out hunting, had a similar experience to one he had ten years prior. He saw an object approximately 40 feet in diameter and 10 feet high. As he approached, a being emerged from behind the object and circled around to meet him. It was a humanoid about five and a half feet tall with a youthful face and long hair. It was wearing a silver-colored material. A conversation ensued in English, which may have lasted three minutes, during which the being declared it was from Saturn. After that, it ran back to the object, which rose about fifteen feet, stayed stationary for a moment, then took off. The man had time to take four photos before it disappeared.

Description: The witness had been in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia the area back in 1950 and at that time had experienced a peculiar incident, which left him with a scar. He returned to the site in December 1968 and saw a disc-shaped craft 40 feet in diameter and 10 feet high, and met its human looking occupant, who walked around the side of the object. The man had long hair, stood about 5’ 6" tall, and wore silver colored shoes. The witness spoke with him in English for about three minutes, learning that the UFO occupant claimed to be from Saturn. The man seemed to be in a hurry to get away. He boarded, after which the craft rose off the ground and hovered momentarily at 15 feet before moving off and disappearing in the distance.

Event 31383 (6105D7C0)

Date: 1969
Location: USA, in Missouri
Description: (Translated from French) At the time when she was 7 years old, when she was living with her parents in Missouri, Mrs. Jenny K… experienced an astonishing event. One night she found herself paralyzed in her bed. Then small beings entered her room through the windows of her window. They took the girl by the arms, lifted her from her bed and everyone left the house through the same process, through the closed window. The beings and the child floated in the air while approaching a huge mass above them. The girl also saw her little brother Mark who was being dragged in the same way by other small creatures. This was the beginning of a fantastic series of abductions that lasted until 1992.

Event 31386 (48BD1E69)

Date: 1969
Description: In Passport to Magonia, Jacques Vallée proposes a radically revisionist argument that UFOs are better understood when related to folk traditions about supernatural creatures (elementals, fairies, angels, demons) than to astronomers’ speculations about life in outer space. He says science cannot adequately deal with such matters, although he does not specifically disavow the scientific method. It is the first book to question the ETH and the first to lay the groundwork for the psychosocial hypothesis, which sees UFOs as largely the product of unusual mental states and perpetuated by social acceptance. He argues that ostensible otherworldly manifestations are fantastic images propelled via psychic technology from humanity’s future to generate myths and religions that will change fate. In time the book leads to a new school of ufology whose advocates hold that UFOs and other anomalous experiences are internally generated and shaped entirely by cultural processes as opposed to nonhuman intelligences. Jerry Clark writes that the “genius of Passport, a genuinely brilliant work, is its success in placing UFOs into not only cultural but experiential context.”

Description: Night. During its extended deployment to Vietnam with the 7th Fleet, the destroyer USS Leary is navigating fishing waters in the Gulf of Tonkin. Ensign Will Miller is alerted by the lookout about a possible light from a fishing boat in the water ahead. But the light suddenly moves from above the water to below the surface and heads rapidly toward the ship at 45° to the bow, passing below the vessel. The sailors run to the starboard side to see whether it will emerge, but it does not. Nothing is tracked on radar or sonar or by the ECM system.

Event 31390 (FAFC6567)

Date: 1969
Description: A former intelligence officer tells Jacques Vallée the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST) once conducted an investigation into UAP as early as 1943 under Hugh L Dryden, which also looked into German research into jet aircraft. They were already aware UAP interfered with combustion engines due to EM effects.

Dryden later joined NACA and then NASA; Dryden told the House Appropriations Committee that someone named “Doolittle” told him UAP didn’t exist.

At 9:00 p.m. in Port Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil soldiers at the Vila Floresta watched a hovering fireball that shot a fiery beam when it began moving. At 11:45 p.m. on the highway between Campos and Itaparuna, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil a single witness stopped his car to watch a metallic domed ovoid-shaped object hovering over a nearby hilltop. The dome on the object glowed a purple color.

Event 31406 (54ADA16F)

Date: 1/6/1969
Locations: Leary, Georgia; Eglin AFB near Valparaiso, Florida
Description: 7:15 p.m. Future president Jimmy Carter is preparing to give a speech at a Lions Club meeting at Leary, Georgia. One of the guests calls his attention to a strange object visible about 30° above the horizon to the west of where he is standing. Carter describes the object as being bright white and about as bright as the moon. It appears to have closed in on where he is standing but stops beyond a stand of pine trees some distance from him. The object changes color, first to blue, then to red, then back to white, before appearing to recede into the distance. Carter feels that the object is self-illuminated and not solid in nature. Carter’s report indicates that it is witnessed by about 10–12 other people and is in view for 10–12 minutes before it passes out of sight. Skeptic Robert Sheaffer concludes that the object is a misidentification of Venus. Ufologist Allan Hendry does calculations and agrees with the assessment of the object as Venus. A member of the Carter family thinks it might have been a barium cloud produced by rockets launched from Eglin AFB near Valparaiso, Florida.

Event 31407 (DB1824AC)

Date: 1/6/1969
Description: Maren Merino was working in the kitchen of her family’s small café in Pontejos, Santander, Spain at 9:15 p.m. when she looked out the kitchen window and saw an intensely bright light. Her daughter, 25-year old Felicidad Fernandez Merino then entered the kitchen and also observed the light. Felicidad asks her mother about it, but she continued to ignore the light. Thinking this was abnormal, Felicidad yelled to two other women, including a woman called Paquita. All three women then opened the window and saw an incredible scene: on a field only 30 meters away, and hovering about three meters from the ground, was a luminous square 4-5 meters wide. It was an intense orange-white color. Inside the luminous square they saw the silhouette of a man walking about. From the right another figure appeared and both walked toward the left side of the illuminated square. Next, from the opposite end of the square three more figures appear, making a total of five figures. By now the witnesses are totally fascinated and shout out to the beings. At this time they are joined by another witness, 35-year-old Antonio. When Antonio looked out the window the craft vanished from sight.

According to the witnesses the movements of the humanoids was mechanical in nature, with arms straight down their sides with no apparent joint movement. The beings were tall and well built, with normal features, chestnut-color hair, and light skin. They wore something similar to black, tight-fitting coveralls with sleeves and turtlenecks. The incident lasted for five minutes. As the witnesses continued to look for the UFO a small shiny sphere descended from the middle of the sky, falling to the ground in a curved trajectory. The body of the UFO again became visible, clearly displaying the shiny square section and the portion of the object hat had been invisible to the witnesses thus far. It was a dull silver color, lightly fluorescent, and shaped like a domed cupola. The object then rose slowly and disappeared quickly, leaving behind a brilliant greenish track that persisted for about 15 minutes after the object left.

Three “men” descended from it in a miniature craft similar to the large object. They seemed to be three times the size of humans. They also shone with a yellow-violet light. They began to pick sugarcane, which they put into the large craft through a transparent tube. After ten minutes, they entered the large vessel, which flew away. The takeoff made the witnesses’ hair and fur stand on end.

Event 31428 (E0DEAEFB)

Date: 1/14/1969
Description: George Vas and his wife and two daughters were asleep in their trailer near Childers, Queensland, Australia when they were awakened at 4:30 a.m. by the barking of their dog. They also heard a loud buzzing noise like a swarm of wasps. It came from a UFO shaped like a sombrero, about 25-30 yards in diameter, which gave off a brilliant violet luminosity. From the craft three beings descended. They were huge, “about 3 times as large as humans,” and had “blocky arms and legs and shapeless bodies.” They emitted a purple and yellow glow. For about ten minutes they gathered sugar cane and other plant specimens, without concern for the observers. Mrs. Olga Vas said that the beings descended from the larger craft in a small object similar in shape. At one point one of the entities came close enough to the group for Mr. Vas to call out in alarm. The “spaceman” showed no concern and moved away only after picking up several rocks. The giant creatures re-entered their craft and the UFO took off vertically. When it took off the hair on the witnesses’ bodies stood on end, as if affected by a form of static electricity.

Event 31436 (14F80342)

Date: 1/15/1969
Description: During the afternoon of this day Ludwig Pallmann felt a burning sensation from a ring given to him by someone he presumed was an extraterrestrial. The sensation was a signal for an upcoming contact, so Mr. Pallmann took his motorboat to a local sandy beach on Isla del Altar, El Salvador. There he noticed that several huge concentric circles ruffled the normally placid waters of the lake. Shortly after that he encountered a human looking being named Satu Ra, who he had met on previous occasions. Satu Ra was sitting motionless on a nearby rock. He wore dark green coveralls and had on a broad instrument belt on which was a large device. Ra was inexpressively sad. He told Pallmann that another extraterrestrial that they both knew, named Xiti, had been killed. Supposedly a disaster had befallen the expedition on another planet. Shortly after this close encounter locals reported observing a silvery disc-shaped UFO hovering over the capital city San Salvador.

Event 31470 (1C888936)

Date: 1/31/1969
Description: At around 8:00 p.m. a small “space ship” approached General Moacyr Uchoa and his investigating team on Wilson P. Gusmao’s Alexania Fazenda, Goias State, Brazil where UFO sightings had been occurring frequently for more than a year. It performed some maneuvers before landing 100 meters away. Senor Gusmao left the group of investigators and walked up to within a meter of the vessel, which he found to be only two meters long and a meter wide, hovering 18 inches above the ground. A door in the top of the craft opened, and a crew member stood up in the hatch. He looked at Gusmao while manipulating something on his belt, which Gusmao thought was a camera. Then he turned around, and as if obeying an order a big light arose from the nearby ridge. The occupant then turned to face Gusmao, and he put his hand on his belt again, causing a luminous halo to surround his body. After this, the onlookers could see him only as a ball of light. Then, with a slight gesture, he slipped down again into the craft, which took off rapidly.

Event 31471 (DC72E6FD)

Date: 2/1969
Location: CHILE, Valparaiso
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. and Mrs. X and their two daughters were lying down around 4 o’clock in the morning when an intense light coming from outside woke up the father and the whole family. From the window of the house, at the entrance of the beach, near the woods, they saw an object flying at their height at 60 m of distance. It had an octahedral shape with a semi-spherical dome, two kinds of antennas on the upper part of the dome, several portholes and three support points similar to legs. It measured from 5 to 6 m long and about the same in height. Its aspect was metallic, very bright, of a celestial blue. It descended slowly swaying and landed on the 3 legs. A light beam came out of the object and three beings of humanoid aspect descended through this beam which gave the impression of a solid inclined plane. They could not distinguish the features of their faces. They measured 2 m in height. A kind of suit covered their whole body, the gloves and shoes forming a whole with the garment, which had a vertical line all along resembling a closure and one could see like a kind of metal badge on their chest. They walked on the beach: each of them placed in the sand ten small tubes which must have had 10 cm in diameter and 25 cm in length, according to the traces found later. They then picked up the black stones (pumice stone) that were in that place so that the next day the witnesses could not find any more. Then, these beings dressed in dark blue picked up each of their 10 small tubes and went back into the object. The object rose diagonally swaying. During the observation a suction noise was heard. The witness’s watch stopped at 04:38 marking the end of the observation. The witnesses had desquamations which healed three days later. They suffered from a nervous depression with a feeling of insecurity.

Event 31486 (B25F6B94)

Date: 2/6/1969
Location: BRAZIL, Vila Pinheros (Pirassununga)
Description: (Translated from French) Tiago Machado, F. Hanse and B. Joana saw a luminous disc resting on the hill. Machado arrived first at the scene and saw two small creatures floating out of the craft, and two others remaining inside. The beings were 1.1 meters tall, wearing metallic-looking suits with ringed joints at the shoulders, elbows and knees. The helmet was round with a tube at its base. They spoke an incomprehensible language in a hoarse and guttural voice. As Hanse and Joana approached, they returned to the craft by floating. One of them directed a weapon resembling a blowtorch at Machado, from which a red-bluish flame emerged, hitting him in the knee. The witness fell. Many witnesses saw the craft take off. Machado, with swollen legs, had to be hospitalized. (CICOANI - Brazil) on 02/06/69 Tiago MACHADO: fainting; swelling of the legs; dehydration, hypersomnia and weight loss; healing by acupuncture (February 6, 1969)

Event 31487 (3979C621)

Date: 2/6/1969
Description: At 7:30 a.m. people in Pirassununga, Sao Paolo, Brazil were excited about a mysterious disc-shaped object on a hillside. Tiago Machado, age 19, got out his binoculars and went up the hill, approaching to within 30 feet. It had a narrow dome on top, was aluminum colored, about 12 feet in diameter and 5 feet high. A hinged door was open in the top of the dome, and from this two humanoid figures emerged and seemed to float to the ground. Two others were visible inside the craft, through windows. The beings, 4.5 feet tall, were dressed in tight, silvery garments without buttons, covering them from head to foot. Their facial features were seen through transparent helmets. Their skin was yellow, and they had slanting eyes, and mouths with thin, slit-like lips. They came to within 3-4 meters of the witness. When they laughed at the witness, who was smoking a cigarette, he could see that they had black teeth. He tossed the cigarette pack close to one, who put his hand above it, and the pack floated up into his hand. The thumb of his hand was set further back than on a human hand. The beings spoke in “hoarse, guttural” sounds. When a friend called out to the witness the entities walked backward and re-entered through the door. The second one, when halfway through, pointed a tube at Machado, which emitted a bluish flame that “floated” toward him. When it hit him, he felt pain and was paralyzed; as the UFO took off, almost horizontally, the witness fainted. A red welt remained where the flame had struck him. On the ground were found three landing gear leg marks.

Event 31488 (317858E2)

Date: 2/6/1969
Description: Barbara Mina Da Silva was weeding a rice field later that same morning at a place called Chacara Do Benedito, Pirassununga, Sao Paulo State, Brazil when two boys, Joao Batista Da Silva, age 9, and Benedito Paulino Ramos, age 13, called to her attention a “shining little tent” 500 meters away. She described it as white, looking like one of the triangular tents used by exterminators of the sauva ant. Nearby were three men with helmets, whom she took to be the workers fighting the ants. The boys told her that the men’s clothing was shining, but she described it as gray. She continued her work, when suddenly the boys cried out, “Look, the little tent has disappeared.” She saw that both tent and men had indeed gone. Shortly afterward the boys pointed out a “luminous ball the size of the sun” stationary just above the woods. It disappeared after 30 minutes, and soon after a Brazilian Air Force helicopter appeared and descended about two kilometers away. The helicopter was seen on several occasions during the next few days.

Event 31491 (41CEE32F)

Date: 2/7/1969
Locations: Pirassununga, São Paulo, Brazil; hill on the grounds of the Zootecníca
Description: 7:30 a.m. Tiago Machado, 19, wakes up at his home in Pirassununga, São Paulo, Brazil, and hears a neighbor shouting about a silvery-blue object landed on a hill on the grounds of the Zootecníca. He watches it for a time, then goes in to get binoculars. He goes off to the hill and approaches the object until he is about 33 feet away. It is a disc made of silvery metal with a dome on top. It is about 13 feet in diameter and stands on three legs. A door opens and two men come floating down to the ground. Machado can see two other beings inside. The men walk toward him, making signs. They are wearing silver diver’s suits, have black teeth and thin-lipped mouths, and one eye is lower than the other. Each has a kind of burn or cicatrice on each cheek. Machado is nervous, so he lights a cigarette. The beings apparently think this is funny, so he tosses the cigarette pack toward them. One of them leans sideways and stretches out his hand. The pack floats 8 inches up to his hand and disappears. Suddenly one of Machado’s friends calls out to him, and the beings walk back to the UFO, still facing him, and jump up to the door. The last one in pauses and pulls out a kind of weapon, points it at Machado, and a flame like a welding arc comes out of the barrel and floats toward him, hitting him in the thigh. He feels faint and paralyzed as the UFO takes off. His friends carry him to a neighbor’s house and find a red swelling on his leg. Later, investigators find three imprints in an equilateral triangle at the site, each about 5 inches in diameter. Soil samples taken show no radioactivity.

Event 31492 (5D1548AF)

Date: 2/7/1969
Description: Shortly after 7:00 a.m. in Pirassununga, Sao Paulo State, Brazil the shouts of people exclaiming about a mysterious bluish-white object that had landed on a hillside awakened Tiago Machado, age 19. He grabbed his binoculars and went to look at it, approaching to within 30 feet. It was a domed disc, aluminum colored, about 12 feet in diameter and five feet high. A hinged door was open on the top of the dome and from it two humanoid figures emerged and floated to the ground. Two more beings were visible through windows inside the craft. The beings were 4.5 feet tall and dressed in tight-fitting silvery coveralls without buttons. Their facial features were visible through transparent helmets. Their skin was yellow, their eyes slanting, and their mouths were thin and slit-like. They came to within 3-4 meters of Tiago. When they laughed at him while he puffed a cigarette, he could see that they had black teeth. He tossed the cigarette pack close to one, who put his hand over it and the pack floated up into his hand. The thumb of his hand was set further back than it would be on a human’s hand. The beings spoke in “hoarse, guttural” sounds. When a friend shouted out to Tiago the entities walked backward and re-entered the craft through the door. The second one pointed a tube at Machado when halfway through, and it emitted a bluish flame that “floated” at him. When it hit him he felt pain and was paralyzed. The UFO took off in a horizontal direction just as the witness fainted. A red welt remained where the flame had struck him. On the ground were found three landing-leg marks.

Event 31501 (817FAEF9)

Date: 2/12/1969
Location: BRASIL, Pirassununga
Description: (Translated from French) Luis Flozino had been married for nine years and was the father of eight children. At 5:40 in the morning, after finishing his breakfast, he was rolling his first cigarette of the day when he heard a noise of branches being crumpled in the nearby woods. Without transition he felt himself seized by a force that was pulling him out of the house, whose door was open, and dragging him in a semi-suspended state in the air. In his efforts to free himself he was braking with his feet on the ground and was losing his shoes. This force was irresistibly taking him to a small wood 200 m away. There he realized that all this was the work of two strange beings, about 140 cm tall, and “very ugly” by our usual standards. Their eyes were asymmetrical, their hair on their shoulders, a beard that covered the lower part of their face, he was seized again while these creatures were talking between them. He received three blows on his right ear, but Flozino, a strong man, managed to free himself. He was getting up, still dizzy, while the unknowns were coming back to the attack. He decided to face them, but they were agile. He still managed to knock them down one on top of the other. They exchanged some words between them and said to him in Portuguese: “Now we are leaving, because with you we cannot…” They were turning on their heels at the same time and were entering the wood without hurrying. The witness, furious at this aggression, pursued them, caught up with them and seizing their long oily hair tied them together by knotting them. These beings continued their way imperturbably without undoing their hair. The thickets in which they were progressing easily prevented Flozino from following them, so he had to give up the pursuit. The dog that accompanied Flozino everywhere had first started to bark furiously, then to howl and to roll on the ground moaning. (February 12, 1969)

Description: At 5:40 a.m. in Pirassununga, Sao Paolo state, Brazil Luis Flozinho De Oliveira, a farm worker, was on his way to work when he was approached and attacked by two strange looking aggressive tan skinned beings. The men were 1.5 meters (4.95 feet) tall and had beards, long hair, and asymmetrical eyes. Both humanoids wore white unbuttoned shirts and long beige colored pants with what appeared to be colorful inscriptions and drawings on them. They also wore dark shiny medallions around their necks. At first stunned, Luis fought back effectively, knocking them both to the ground, one on top of the other. The two humanoids got up and exchanged some words between themselves in a strange language. They then told Luis in perfect Portuguese that they were leaving since he was much stronger than they, and they both fled into the thick underbrush. Luis’s dog “rolled up into a ball on the ground for protection” during the attack upon its master. The dog refused to eat anything after the encounter, and died a month later, its body found bloated up. The dog had never been willing to return to the place of the encounter.

Description: Morning. Barbara Smyth, a teacher in a small town in Alberta, is driving to school when she sees on her right a “gigantic, bright pinky-red coloured” object “about seven times the size of a steel granary of 14ft. diameter.” It looks like two rounded layers divided by a thin blue line. There are two flashing white lights on the top and a tent-like structure that pulsates and changes color from silver to fiery yellow. The UFO starts spinning counterclockwise and jumps over to the next hill. Suddenly, her car is no longer under her control as it floats down a very bumpy road. After three minutes the UFO disappears, and the car returns to normal.

Event 31522 (0B419E10)

Date: 2/20/1969
Location: BRAZIL, Pirassununga
Description: (Translated from French) During the night José Antonio Fioco was woken up by the noise coming from the pigsty. He got up and went outside to take a look. In the fields, 20 m away from him, he saw a disc-shaped object resting on the ground on a tripod. Around the ramp of the craft stood three small beings: one was holding a tube about 35 cm long and was illuminating the henhouse with this instrument that emitted a pink light up to 250 m. A second one was looking into a “box” camera, the third one had a tube, longer than the first one, and was using it to examine the ground. When the witness turned around to alert other people, these beings finally noticed his presence. They were wearing a shiny metallic-looking suit and short boots. Immediately the craft took off. Duration of the incident: 3 minutes. (CICOANI - Brazil) (vog: now follows a completely different version…. Jose Antonio Fioco (…) became the witness of several successive UFO landings near his farm. In one particular case (…) he was able to give details about the object and its occupants. (…) Fioco revealed that on several occasions he had noticed interferences in the images received by his television. This is how he had noticed that the programs of channel 4 of the Sao Paulo station were sometimes replaced by images showing women with strange clothes that went down to their feet and a kind of ruff around their face, as well as helmeted men, all of small size. These beings were speaking in a curious unknown language, which resembled the idiom of a Hungarian who had stayed for some time in the countryside with words containing very few syllables. The voice was deep and the phrases badly pronounced. The images received were unstable, blurry, rarely clear. The whole family was able to witness these strange interference phenomena. (…) radio broadcasts interrupted and replaced by an unintelligible voice, especially during certain space flights carried out by NASA. (…)

Event 31531 (D15859B5)

Date: 2/22/1969
Description: Nathan Brown, a 46-year-old Maori, was walking home in Awanui, New Zealand at one a.m. when he saw a light. He came upon two men sitting with their backs to the road and their feet in a ditch, while a pale young woman with white, shoulder length hair lay across the ditch. She wore a long white gown that covered her feet. The men sat in a relaxed attitude looking down at the woman. They were about 5.5 feet in height, had dark brown skin and closely cropped hair, and wore brown pants and jackets. He questioned the men but got no response. When he stepped closer to see what was wrong with the woman he ran into an invisible barrier that he likened to a bar across the stomach. He tried to grab one of the men but was again prevented by a force that repelled him. This frightened him and he ran off, “shaking like a leaf.” The light he first saw was a luminous haze that had no visible source. Mr. Brown found some marks on the ground at the site the following day.

It was about 100 ft. in diam. apparently rotating clockwise and emitting a strong white beam of light down to the road which seemed to magnify the size of theroad it was shining on. He felt intense heat from the direction of the UFO and his CB radio was dead. As heneared the light beam from the UFO his truck motor and radio quit. As the beam moved away from his truck he was able to start the engine again. He followed the UFO for about 4 mi. staying away from the beam. The UFO followed the contour of the land it was flying over. After 7–8 min. the UFO veered away and went out of sight. “I had never believed in them too much until I saw this,” he said. “Now I know that there is something to these UFOs!”

Description: 6:40 a.m. William Overstreet, 50, is driving his truck on Missouri J between Elmer and Atlanta, Missouri, when he sees a bright reddish-orange light about 100 feet in diameter and floating along at 40 mph. It begins to follow the road and beams a strong, cone-shaped white light on to the road from a height of 50 feet. Overstreet can feel the heat. The object changes from red to a blue sphere surrounded by a red ring. He attempts to drive through the beam, but his motor and radio die when he gets to within 6 feet. The beam moves away a bit, he tries again, and the same thing happens. The UFO moves about a mile away, turns back to red, switches off the beam, and cruises away.

Around 6:30 PM I had the feeling that I had to go outside.” He opened the door and saw an enormous object 15 meters from the building, estimated to be 150 meters in diameter, filling the ravine behind the station. Inside the object was a tunnel, glowing with a misty gray light. Next to the object and in the tunnel he saw about ten individuals: they looked like clouds without outlines and seemed to be floating, about 130 cm tall and 30 to 40 cm wide. The witness wanted to call the police but realized he couldn’t move.

Event 31600 (92516085)

Date: 3/12/1969
Description: Mr. K. Maslund, a radio and TV station technician, was at work at his TV station at 6:30 p.m. in Trejorningsjo, Angermanland, Sweden when he heard the station’s transmission alarm system go off. Opening the door, he saw outside about 50 feet away a UFO 150 meters wide and 5-6 meters tall, hovering in the air. A “tunnel of light” extended from the object through which the witness saw 7 or 8 entities, about 1.30 meters tall by 30-40 cm wide, floating towards him. They passed Maslund within inches and he found that he could not move; after 5-10 minutes, they left the station and re-entered the object through the tunnel, which then closed. The object then took off toward the north and the witness was again able to move. The entities were non-humanoid in shape, looking more like boxes than anything; he had the feeling the entities were inside the boxes and did not want to be recognized in their “true form.”

Event 31619 (6184FB59)

Date: 3/17/1969
Description: At 2:45 a.m. a retired army general had become stranded along a dirt road near Barra da Tijuca, Brazil after his car engine had quit. Moments later he saw a light rising above a nearby hill and felt a strong compulsion to walk towards it. After a short walk he came upon an object with translucent walls that gave off a dazzling light. Despite the translucent appearance the object seemed to be made of some metallic substance. Part of the surface of the object flung itself back, and three human-like figures stood in the opening, one a woman. The witness was invited inside by one of the men, who informed him that the other two were also humans. After a short ride in the craft he was told that time, as we conceive of it, doesn’t exist. He was eventually released back to his vehicle, which could quickly be started again without any difficulty.

The two cars kept driving together, but the craft again came to hover over one of the cars. The drivers stopped again, but this time nothing happened to the headlights. The object rocked gently while keeping its position. After a few minutes of hovering it flew quickly into the distance.

Date: 3/19/1969
Description: In 1969 Renato Bifarella of Caltanissetta, Italy on the island of Sicily was looking at the sky with binoculars on a night of a full moon, when at 1:35 a.m. he saw what resembled a “tortoise” hovering in the sky. It was green in color with pale brown spots, and had “legs” underneath. It was 5-6 meters wide and four meters high, with a brilliantly lit turret in which he could see at least two figures moving about. It approached him, and emitted a beam of pink light that struck him and caused him to faint. When he regained consciousness, he could see that the UFO had led down two thick “ropes” that were one meter in thickness. Through binoculars he was able to see that two humanoid figures—one in red overalls and the other in white, with blue helmets—were climbing toward the object. The witness fainted again, and when he came to, the object was gone.

Event 31633 (4C0BF77E)

Date: 3/21/1969
Location: FRANCE, Evillers
Description: (Translated from French) At 10:30 PM Marcel Baud was at the doorstep along with the Pointurier couple, Alcide Pointurier and Jean-Marie Reddat. Suddenly it seemed to them that a farm was burning a few hundred meters away. As there were no buildings in that direction, it seemed strange to them. Looking carefully, they saw that the phenomenon was moving slowly to the right in front of the ridges separating Evillers and Septfontaines. It was a black, rectangular object with symmetrically 4 or 5 openings in the lower part and 4 or 5 openings in the upper part. These openings were of a dark red color illuminating the black rectangular mass. The phenomenon was advancing at a very low altitude. Observation until 10:45 PM: it passed behind a house and was not seen again.

Event 31637 (519BDEF5)

Date: 3/22/1969
Description: Two unidentified teenage girls were returning home in the Colegio Batista district of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil at around 8 p.m. when they saw a luminous object with a blue light hovering in the west. It had a ring of white lights around it and appeared to be spinning. At home later one of the girls went to the window and saw a little man near a gate ten meters away. He was standing erect and facing her window. He wore a kind of diving suit with a soft green luminosity, and a helmet through which she could see a pair of glowing reflective eyes, like those of a cat. She told her earlier companion and a third girl. The second girl also saw the entity, who by then was standing facing sideways. The third girl ran to the aid of the first witness who was so frightened by the figure’s appearance she went into a state of shock. That same evening the boyfriend of one of these girls was walking on the other side of the city when the streetlights went out and he saw the faintly illuminated silhouettes of two small figures standing on a precipice above the street only a few meters away from him. Frightened, he hurried on, but walking through the area later the streetlights were on again and the figures were gone.

Event 31642 (F9B8E0D5)

Date: 3/31/1969
Description: As many as two hundred residents of of the Coenze neighborhood in Nova Iguaca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil witnessed the descent of a “mystery airplane” on Maxambona Hill in the middle of the afternoon. It fell from the sky, falling in an unusually slow manner, in an apparent controlled descent. Among the many witnesses was an elderly man and his children. He told the children to go immediately to the landing site to assist any possible survivors. As he watched hundreds of townspeople converging on the hill, he saw two beings come out of the craft. The craft itself seemed to be slowly “moving like a wing” that was shifting slightly in the wind. When the first people neared the site the object and its occupants vanished abruptly, and nothing was to be found at the “crash” site. No one heard any engine noise as the craft descended, and investigations at the site by the military police found no wreckage.

Description: The two witnesses were parked in a remote area of West Nyack, New York at 7:00 p.m. when they saw a light approach. They got out of the car and saw a large oval-shaped craft with lights around its edge and a beam of light shining from its center. A memory lapse occurred, with one witness vaguely recalling the object landing and shining a beam of light towards them. Later one of the witnesses remembered being inside a circular room lying on a white Formica table. He was surrounded by several humanoids described as being five-foot tall with pale gray skin, large round heads, and large black eyes. These beings were well built and wore tight fitting grayish green coveralls. One being appeared to be the examiner, and he wore a turtleneck garment and peered intently into the witness’s face. At one point one of the witnesses remembered struggling and thought it felt that he had been ripped to pieces and then reassembled again.

Event 31658 (A43BA7AE)

Date: 4/12/1969
Locations: Pori Airport, Finland; Vaasa
Description: During a Fouga Magister aircraft training mission at Pori Airport, Finland, a Finnish Defence Forces flight controller tells pilot-in-training Tarmo Tukeva to investigate seven air balloons that are floating at approximately 5,000–9,800 feet above the airport. Tukeva reports that the objects are ball or disc-shaped but cannot determine how far away they are. Tukeva sees the objects accelerate away from him “at great speed.” Indeterminate radar images are also later reported 125 miles away in Vaasa. A second pilot-in-training, Jouko Kuronen, overhears the radio communications between the flight controller and Tukeva and sees the UFOs as well. According to the Finnish Armed Forces magazine Ruotuväki, the reports are similar to other cases occurring over bodies of water during ongoing military exercises and may have been due to “transnational spy planes or aircraft.”

Description: A former-schoolmistress was exercising her dog in some fields between Bridgeworth and Shrewsbury, England at about 6:30 p.m. when she observed a top-shaped object on the far side of a hedge, It stood about three meters high and was resting on gray colored legs. Around the object she saw three beings about the size of 11-year-old children. They had pear shaped heads and appeared to be lacking hands. They wore black outfits with white belts. Despite their apparent lack of hands they were collecting samples from the ground that they placed on the side of the object. The specimens seemed to disappear into the solid craft. The woman’s dog fled the scene at the outset of her encounter.

Description: Morning. T. J. Hefferman of Bungawalban, New South Wales, wakes up and notices that his dogs are “strangely subdued.” Outside, he finds a flattened area in a sacaline (Reynoutria sachalinensis) forage crop on his property. A roughly circular area is flattened in four distinct patches, the largest 60 by 15 feet. All the stalks lie in one direction, north to south. The previous night, two men working night shift on a flood mitigation dredge a quarter mile north of the farm had seen a glow in the sky, and a neighboring farmer had seen two “toplike objects” moving about for a number of nights. G. Testa, an independent investigator from Lismore, visits the site on April 20 and takes 25 feet of 8mm color film to document the damage.

A powerful beam of light switches on across the top of the cane path, and it slowly turns in a half circle before going out and being replaced by a “low beam” and “cabin lights.” A UFO is above the cane and she feels a powerful force lifting her up and pulling her toward the object when the “high beam” is on. The helmet-shaped object is 20–28 feet long and 22 feet wide. At its closest the UFO is 40–50 feet away. It disappears suddenly.

Event 31676 (851580CD)

Date: 4/20/1969
Description: On this evening in Itaucu, Goias state, Brazil, 25-year-old Adelino Roque was on his way to the local Serradinho ranch on his horse when a bright beam of light struck him from above. He soon found himself inside some kind of dark, drum-like object that was totally silent. The object was moving through the sky at a very high speed. He blanked out and could not remember anything after that. He awoke lying on top of a rock next to the Paranaiba River, miles from his original location. Meanwhile, his horse had been found tied up at another ranch, apparently unharmed. Sr. Roque also appeared to be unharmed except for a strange bruise on his side. He did not remember seeing any entities or hearing anyone talk to him during the time he was missing. Soon after his experience he began neglecting his work and drinking heavily. He also reportedly fell in love with his 17-year-old niece. A month later Roque again was reported missing, this time along with his niece. On June 12, both Roque and his niece were found dead under unusual circumstances. Some said they had been poisoned.

Event 31691 (25105407)

Date: 4/25/1969
Location: Roberts Park in Greenacre, New South Wales
Description: 7:30 p.m. A woman and her 11-year-old daughter are travelling by taxi past Roberts Park in Greenacre, New South Wales, when they spot a “Japanese lantern” above some trees. One minute later, as the taxi turns a corner, they see it again, 100–130 feet away, apparently in the same spot. The driver stops the taxi, and they can see what looks like a metallic craft, approximately 33 feet in diameter, with the appearance of “two soup bowls joined rim- to-rim.” There is a steady red light on top. The object seems to be noiselessly rocking backwards and forwards, at a frequency of 1–2 rocks per second. A “depressing blue glow” can be seen through a window that takes up most of the upper part. A humanoid figure is apparently operating controls near the window. Another figure is pointing at the witnesses. A third seems to be walking toward a back door. All three are apparently human-sized and are either wearing tight black clothing, are black skinned, or seen in silhouette. After 15 seconds or less, the driver speeds off down the road, drops the couple off, and drives off quickly without taking their fare. At 8:00 p.m., the woman and her daughter return to the park. The UFO is not to be seen.

Event 31692 (89AADC3D)

Date: 4/25/1969
Description: At 7:30 p.m. a ten-meter diameter disc-shaped object was seen hovering over a park in Greenacre, New South Wales, Australia by three witnesses. A Greenacre woman, Mrs. Froml, and her 13-year old daughter were going home by taxi. When they passed Roberts Park they saw the object hovering over a playing field lit by floodlights, where some youths were playing football. The floodlights formed a kind of ceiling over the field and it was unlikely that had any of the players looked up, they would have seen anything. The object was football shaped, the top was transparent, and the bottom was a greenish metallic color, like gun metal. It had an interior light that was “the brightest blue imaginable,” and the bottom portion had three large transparent holes. The object was tilted downward, and inside the object could be seen three tall humanoid figures, over six feet tall. in the transparent upper half of the UFO. One pointed down at the witnesses and then turned toward a rectangular, lighted area, apparently working some controls. Mrs Froml asked the cabbie, a Greek immigrant, to stop the taxi, but instead he accelerated away from the park and drove straight to her home. After he dropped her and her daughter off, he left in a frightened state, without collecting his fare.

In my view, publishers who publish or teachers who teach any of the pseudosciences as established truth should, on being found guilty, be publicly horsewhipped, and forever banned from further activity in these usually honorable professions.”

Date: 4/26/1969
Description: On this evening David Arychuk was out walking his dog in Calgary, Alberta when he saw a circular object with three pulsating red lights around the top, 200 yards away from him. The UFO was about 30 feet in diameter and 20 feet high, and cream-colored with a pitted surface. He smelled a rather nauseating odor of “sweet bitterness” that was in the air. One hundred yards away stood two humanoid beings, “taller than normal,” wearing dark clothing. David yelled out “Hey you!” and they walked around behind the UFO. His dog refused to go on and was shivering from fright. By the time David came back to the site with his stepfather the UFO was gone, but the odor was still present the next day.

Event 31713 (7145C072)

Date: 5/3/1969 (approximate)
Location: BRAZIL, Bebedouro (Belo Horizonte)
Description: (Translated from French) José Antonio da Silva, a military man, was fishing in a lagoon north of Belo Horizonte and saw shapes moving behind him. He saw a flash of light hit his legs and felt a numbness that made him drop his fishing rod and fall to his knees. He was seized by two masked individuals, about one meter twenty tall, wearing metallic suits, who took him to a machine resembling a vertical cylinder. Inside, the beings gave him a mask similar to theirs and tied him up before taking off. The higher the aircraft flew, the harder it was for the soldier to breathe. He felt a fatigue similar to paralysis. After what seemed like an interminable journey, the aircraft landed with a jolt. He was untied but a band was put on his mask and they dragged him, his knees scraping the ground. He was placed on a seat without a back and the band was removed. He found himself in a room about 9 by 13 meters, 4.5 meters away from a robust dwarf who fixed him with an obvious satisfaction. The dwarf was very hairy. He had green eyes. Other similar dwarves arrived, until there were 15 of them. The three walls in front of him had neither door nor window. On the left, a platform held the corpses of four men, one of them black. He had to drink from a stone cube with an inverted pyramid carved into it, a dark green liquid. On the left wall there were paintings of animals, vehicles and very earthly houses. The dwarves examined his fishing equipment and took a double of each item: one of each type of hook, one banknote. A conversation by signs was established with the chief dwarf. At one point José Antonio had a vision of an entity resembling Christ. Then he was taken back. He lost consciousness and woke up alone near the town of Victoria, in the state of Espirito Santo, three hundred and sixty kilometers from where he was fishing. Four and a half days had passed.

Once inside, he was restrained and forced to wear a helmet. The machine took off and, after an interminable time, landed. Da Silva’s eyes were blindfolded and he was taken to a brightly lit room, in which he saw the bodies of 4 other humans. He was then interrogated by 15 tiny creatures. They were hairy, with long red beards and hair of the same color, big noses, big ears and no teeth. They took his fishing gear, his ID card, and his banknotes. They asked him to be their guide among men. When he refused, he was brought back to Earth. (May 4th, 3pm)

Description: 3:00 p.m. A 24-year-old Brazilian soldier named José Antônio da Silva is fishing by himself at Bebedouro (apparently a small lagoon in the Área de Proteção Ambiental do Carste de Lagoa Santa) near Matozinhos, Minas Gerais, Brazil, when he begins dozing off. He perceives figures moving around him, and he feels himself shot with something that paralyzes his legs. Two small humanoid beings, joined by a third, drag him off into a strange machine shaped like two saucers joined together by a thick, vertical cylinder. The machine lifts off, and after a long interval it lands. Da Silva is carried by his armpits into a large quadrangular room, where he finds himself with his original three captors and a fourth being—also humanoid, with red hair and a beard that comes down to his waist—who seems to be their leader. He remembers afterward that all four have mouths that look like fishes’ mouths. The room is made of stone. Inside, on a low shelf seemingly fashioned out of stone, da Silva sees the bodies of four human men lying stretched out side by side. Naked, rigid, and positioned on their backs, the bodies bear no visible wounds, but it is obvious that they are dead. One is a well-built black man and another has light brown skin. Two others, more slightly built, are Caucasian, one of them very blond “like a foreigner.” The beings do not speak any Portuguese but, using pictures, the leader manages to convey to da Silva that they want him to be their guide and weapons provider for what he supposes is a subsequent invasion of Earth. He refuses, fingering his crucifix, which the angry leader rips from his hand. Out of nowhere, da Silva sees appear in front of him a human figure who stands motionless, gazing at him in a friendly fashion. The figure, about five and a half feet tall, is Caucasian, slender, bearded with long fair hair, and dressed in a friar’s cassock. Amazingly, the little men seem oblivious to his presence. Speaking in Portuguese, the figure gives da Silva certain “revelations” that he afterward insists on keeping secret. He apparently knows who the figure is but he does not reveal that either, saying only that he wasn’t Jesus. The figure vanishes, and the beings who have abducted him start quarreling among themselves. They carry da Silva back to their machine; there follows another flight, another landing. Da Silva awakens in the dawn of what turns out to be May 9, four and a half days after his abduction, some 300 miles to the east of the place where he had been abducted. He supposedly bears the physical marks of his ordeal— wounds on his neck, lameness in one leg—for days afterward.

Event 31719 (0A5C6A70)

Date: 5/4/1969
Description: An abduction occurred in 1969 to a soldier while fishing on the banks of the Rio das Velhas near the city of Bebedouro in the state of Espirito Santo, Brazil. Jose Antonio da Silva had left his home in Belo Horizonte and taken a bus to Bebedouro to go fishing the evening before. At about midnight he reached the banks of a small lagoon and set up his tent and fished for a while without success. The next day, at about 3 p.m. he became aware of figures moving around behind him. He heard a deep sound like a groan, then was struck in the legs by a “burst of fire” coming from a form partly hidden in the bushes. Seized with a cramp and feeling a numbness in his legs, he knelt down. A beam of light, greenish in the middle and reddish on the edges, had hit him. In a matter of seconds he was seized under the armpits by masked two four-foot-tall humanoid beings, who wore shining light-colored garments and aluminum colored helmets with facemasks. Tubes ran from the masks to small containers on their backs.

They blindfolded him and brought him before a little man with long red hair and a big nose. They dragged him to a craft that was shaped like a vertical cylinder terminated by wider saucer shaped top and bottom; rods from the base of the cylinder supported the upper disc. It was only bout six feet high and nine feet wide. Inside was a cubical room, brilliantly lit but from no visible source. Here they fitted on him a helmet like their own, then tied him down to a seat.

He felt a sensation of taking off. During the flight, which he felt lasted for hours, they talked among themselves in an incomprehensible language with many “R” sounds. At one point in the journey the craft seemed to turn on its side for awhile. When they landed he was blindfolded and dragged into a large room, where a little man without a spacesuit confronted him; he had long reddish hair and a beard that flowed to his waist. He was strongly built, and his skin was pallid in color. He had large round, green eyes and a big nose, and his mouth appeared toothless, “like a fish.” To the side of the witness were laid 4 human cadavers, one a Negro’s. A dozen more little men, all much resembling the leader, were in the room. They examined his fishing tackle and other possessions. Several carried weapons. The leader then addressed him in his incomprehensible language, simultaneously making sketches on a whiteboard beside him.

He was given a stone cup and drank a bitter green liquid that restored his energy and made him better able to comprehend what the alien was trying to say. The leader conveyed to Da Silva the idea that he was expected to help them land on Earth, a proposition that the soldier rejected, fingering his rosary. The leader became irritated, snatched the rosary away, and showed it to the others. At this point a kind of vision appeared to Da Silva of a Christ-like man with long fair hair and beard, dressed like a monk, who spoke to him in Portuguese, giving him a message, which he was sworn to keep secret. After this vision had vanished, Da Silva was again blindfolded, dragged back to the spacecraft, and returned to Earth in the same manner as he had been taken away. He was released during the night. When morning came he found that he was near Vitoria, more than 200 miles from Bebedouro, and that four and a half days had passed since his abduction. He suffered various physical ailments later. Jose Antonio has repeatedly refused to reveal the content of this message.

Event 31721 (49FE7307)

Date: 5/5/1969
Description: A deaf mute named Antonio Rodrigues, age 60, of the Fazenda Constantino was fishing during the day on the Rio Das Velhas near Jaboticatubas, Minas Gerais, Brazil when he was confronted by the same type of beings that Jose Antonio Da Silva encountered the day before in Bebedouro, 20 kilometers to the east. When they made signs for him to approach he fled in terror, and they pursued him and knocked him to the ground by the force from an energy weapon one of the short humanoids drew from his belt. They gathered around Rodrigues, felt his arm, and conversed amongst themselves in an unintelligible language. Finally, they shook their heads and departed in a UFO parked nearby that ascended vertically. The witness identified the beings from various drawings, including Da Silva’s that were shown to him by the investigators.

Date: 5/11/1969
Locations: Chapeau, Quebec; L’Isle-aux-Allumettes; Ottawa River
Description: 2:00 a.m. Near the village of Chapeau, Quebec, on L’Isle-aux-Allumettes in the Ottawa River, farmer Leo Paul Chaput is awakened by his dog barking. He looks out the window and sees a brilliant light close to the ground. The light source seems to be a domed craft with a flat bottom (like a World War I helmet) about 500 feet away. He looks away briefly, and the object is gone, although he can hear the diminishing sound of a motor. When Chaput gets up in the morning, he finds a large circular indentation in the ground, 600 feet from his house. The impression is 32 feet in diameter and is surrounded by a ring of scorched grass 2.5 feet wide. Inside, the vegetation is not damaged, but there are three holes that form a perfect equilateral triangle, 15 feet on a side. The holes are 8 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep. He finds a second, slightly smaller circle to the southwest, again with scorched grass and 3 indentations. A third ground marking, a semicircle, is near the second.

Event 31733 (C9BEB6FF)

Date: 5/11/1969
Description: At 1:45 a.m. Mike Luczkowich, age 20, a student at Manakin, Virginia was returning home after a date with his girlfriend. He had just driven past the Rockville General Store when he noticed something about 50 yards ahead of his car. At first he thought it might be a couple of deer, but he soon realized that he was looking at two humanoid figures about three and a half to four feet tall. The creatures were wearing spherical helmets that looked as large as basketballs. Circling each helmet was a pale green band that reflected the headlights of the vehicle. The beings stood motionless at first, but they soon scurried off by running up an embankment to the left. The first two had barely disappeared when a third small being appeared from the right side of the road and quickly joined the others by climbing over the embankment. Luczkowich reported that the little men were dressed in light-brown coveralls that were somewhat baggy in the legs but tight-fitting at the ankles. He did not see any arms, and he could not detect features behind the oversized helmets.

The student was shaken by his experience, and he did not tell anyone of the encounter until Sunday. On Monday Luczkowich and three other men returned to the site. They were able to locate a fresh trail through the poison ivy and honeysuckle growing on the embankment the three beings had scaled. Beyond the embankment they found a barley field with a path through it, such as the three humanoids might have made. After walking in a few feet they noticed two flattened areas, where small entities might have thrown themselves down in the field. According to Luczkowich, the crushed barley at one flattened area showed the imprint of two small bodies, while the other impression outlined one other small body. About a half mile west of the area and two hours earlier 18-year-old Debbie Payne had reported seeing an oval-shaped luminous object over her house when she arrived home from a date. The UFO appeared rather bright, then dimmed and became bright two times before she and her date reached the door to her house.

Description: (Translated from French) In the morning around 7:30am, Georges Kaiser went out to his tractor. (…) He crossed the farm yard when he had the sensation of an unusual presence. Surprised, he saw 6m away from him a being who, for two minutes, paid him no attention. It was at least 2.50m tall, standing but leaning forward. Its arms were the same length as a normal man’s and its musculature seemed very developed. It had no neck, its head resting directly on its shoulders. Its hands had normal fingers (…) It had long hair falling down the back of its massive head. Its whole body was covered in hair, except for its face which was black and the palms of its hands too. Georges (…) made a movement to retreat, which drew the attention of the being. It immediately emitted a growl and turned around to flee. It jumped over the ditch bordering the road and disappeared. It was running at an astonishing speed.

Description: (Translated from French) José Perreira Sacramento lives at 190, P. Eustaquio Street, last house on the street. Around 1:00 AM the witness was woken up by a rumbling engine and he thought his scooter was being stolen. Hurriedly getting up he went to check: the scooter was still there, but now he heard the dog growling. He was heading towards the animal when he saw a luminous spot on the ground and looking up he saw a dark circular object hovering at about 500 m altitude. Very quickly the object grew bigger, as if it was descending, and scared the witness wanted to run back to the house: he was unable to move. When it reached 1 m from the ground, the witness saw an opening of one meter diameter and he was sucked inside into a circular compartment of about 14 m diameter brightly lit. Standing in this place he saw to his right and left a group of three small beings each time, 80 cm tall, sitting on round stools without legs. They were covered with a kind of flexible fabric wrapping the head and the visible part of the body: only the thorax. These beings had a language made of grunts and yaps and were only occupied with a panel in front of each of them. This lasted about 5 minutes. Then, the light increased even more in intensity and the witness lost consciousness. He woke up at 6:00 AM in his bed with pain in his shoulders and red and irritated eyes.

Event 31759 (7750DF65)

Date: 5/20/1969
Description: Jose Pereira Sacramento was awakened by a noise outside his home in Vila Operaria, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Going outside through his back door at 1:00 a.m., he saw “the white face of an animal” and a light in the sky which came down toward him. He was paralyzed and could not move to re-enter the house or call out. An “enormous object” landed beside him, and he was “pulled through an opening” into the ship, finding himself inside a small elevator, which went up into a brightly lit circular compartment with a curved ceiling, about 45 feet in diameter. In this room were six small humanoid beings only 31 inches tall. They had big heads and they wore tight-fitting, plastic like outfits, entirely covering their bodies and heads, light cream in color, having openings only for their eyes and ears. Their eyes were slanted. Each entity stood inside a cylinder three feet in diameter and 15" high, and above its head was a curved plate with a lever. They spoke among themselves in a language of short shrilly sounds, “like pigs grunting.” After four or five minutes one of the beings moved a control and the illumination increased in brightness to such a point that Pereira lost consciousness. At 6:00 a.m. he woke up in his bed, not knowing how he got there. He had an inflammation of the eyes lasted a month, and a year after the event he still felt light-headed and had difficulty concentrating.

He stepped out his door and saw three of the same short entities he had a frightening encounter with earlier that month at Bebedouro, Minas Gerais, Brazil dressed in the same flightsuits. They stood motionless, looking at him. He quickly stepped back inside and bolted the door, without saying a word or hearing a sound from them. He then explained to investigators that they wanted him to “work against my own people” and expressed his great fear that our world was in great danger, without knowing from where the danger would come.

He calls his mother, who sees a steady red light on top of a more diffuse blue-white light darting haphazardly in a zigzag pattern but in general moving to the north until it disappears behind their house. The witnesses shift their position and can still see the light hovering in the northwest. The light is now seen as circular with hazy edges and about half the diameter of the full moon. At about 7:00 p.m. it moves at high speed to the north. The mother calls the radar station at Kalamunda, which simultaneously gets a request from Perth Airport to check out an unidentified echo on their meteorological radar. The Kalamunda operator sees a large echo some 9 miles away, which reappears for short durations on 5 further occasions and is last seen at 7:42 p.m.

Description: Two people were sleeping outside in their backyard on this summer night in Portland, Oregon when they saw an object approaching them at 1:00 a.m. When first spotted the UFO was at about 500 feet altitude and a ¼ mile away. Soon they could see that it was a single file formation of disc-shaped objects, which dropped down to about 30 feet and turned north. The UFOs were about 30 feet in diameter. As they flew over a nearby field the witnesses could see a bluish green light under each object. They could also see small-lighted windows in the objects and in each window a figure was seen looking out. The last object shot up at a 30-degree angle and vanished within seconds, leaving a luminous short trail of light behind.

At the same time he noticed on the front passenger seat an opaque cube-shaped form that appeared out of nowhere. His next recollection was of again driving his vehicle around a curve and then arriving home, feeling very tired and haggard having no recollection of what occurred during approximately one-hour period of missing time.

Event 31843 (9CFC12A3)

Date: 6/20/1969
Description: On this evening numerous witnesses in and around the Michigan City, Indiana area, bordering Lake Michigan, saw a series of multi-colored, maneuvering lights for a period of at least two hours. Among the witnesses were policemen, Coast Guardsmen, a harbor patrolman, a local newspaper photographer, and an electronics engineer. The first report was at 9:35 p.m. “The objects appeared solid and yet were a source of their own light,” US Coast Guardsman Vernon Kleman stated. “They appeared as if from nowhere and could brighten up to a size much larger than when originally seen. They moved at a variety of speeds, some fast, some slow and at times they were stationary for a minute or more…The objects were colored white, green or orange and they changed colors at will.” A roughly oval-shaped UFO appeared to have a rotating rim with red, green and yellow lights around its center. Increasing in intensity, the object was in view for about a minute before it “quickly diminished in size and brilliance” and disappeared. “Once a smaller object seemed to enter the water,” Kleman continued. “It was submerged for 4-6 seconds. Then it traveled straight upward at an excessive speed.”

Event 31844 (B6D11ED8)

Date: 6/20/1969
Description: At 10:25 members of the Michigan City Police Department and Port Authority began seeing the UFOs. Robert G. Howington, harbor policeman, said the objects he saw disappeared to the “northwest with terrific speed.” Officer Ted Stantz saw lights that erratically “went back and forth across the sky.” Policeman James R. Coughlin and others saw the objects at the same time. “We saw about 9 or 10 such objects over a span of about two hours,” Police Sgt. Lance M. Hilberg stated in his report to NICAP. “One seemed to approach very close. The others were quite high and very distant. All objects appeared very bright and solid. The closest one was extremely bright [and] faded away at tremendous speed–much faster than any aircraft…”

Officer Tony C. Ragle said he was cruising in his squad car when he got a call to assist personnel at the Port Authority. Looking through his windshield, he saw the large bright object that "hovered over Lake Michigan for approximately 90 seconds, then went up and darted toward Chicago.” Bill Allen, a photographer-reporter for The Michigan City News-Dispatch, saw an object over the lakefront at 11:30 p.m. It looked like an upside down saucer with a pulsating red light around the bottom. The top was an orange-yellow color. The objects were also viewed over Gary, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois.

He sees an odd object rocking from side to side that suddenly drops into the brush out of sight. Thinking it is an accident, he approaches to within 20 feet and sees the landed object, which then ascends, hovers a moment, and takes off in a gentle climb. He hears the humming sound again and feels a blast of air as it moves away. The Brazilian Air Force investigates the landing, and UFO investigator Hans Bemelmans finds some scorched grass in the thickly tangled brush.

Date: 7/4/1969
Location: COLOMBIA, Anolaima
Description: (Translated from French) At 8:30 PM two children saw a bright object about 300 meters away. They grabbed a flashlight and sent signals. The object approached them until about 60 meters away. (10 meters and they could see an entity inside the object) The children called the rest of the family and the 13 (11) people living on the farm observed the light as it flew away and disappeared behind a hill, while the glow remained visible. The father, Arcesio Bermudez, 54 years old, took the flashlight and went to investigate. When Arceso returned, he was terrified. From a distance of less than 6 meters, he had seen a small being inside the upper part of the object which was transparent, while the rest of the vehicle was dark. He saw the being when he turned on his flashlight. The object became bright and flew away. (…) 48 hours after the observation Arcesio felt very ill, he was cold, his temperature dropped. He was unable to eat and had dark blue spots on his skin. There was blood in his stool. On the 7th day after the incident his family took him to Bogota(…) Arcesio died a little before midnight.(…) (Jacques VALLEE: “Confrontations” - Laffont 1991, p. 165-168, for the version where the father goes to search for the UFO) (Janet and Colin BORD: “Modern Mysteries of the World” - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 322: for the date and details in parentheses: these authors show the entity seen by the children, the adults only witness the departure of the UFO.

Event 31871 (AE6E7FC6)

Date: 7/4/1969
Locations: Anolaima, Colombia; Bogotá
Description: 8:00 p.m. Two children, Mauricio Gnecco and Enrique Osorio, in Anolaima, Colombia, see a glowing object about 900 feet away. It approaches to within 180 feet and the children run over the hill to tell other children and adults. Thirteen people, including their father, return to see the object. Arcesio Bermúdez takes a flashlight with him and returns in terror after seeing a small person and a craft that lights up and flies away. Within 2 days, Bermúdez loses all appetite, his skin temperature drops, blue spots appear on his skin, and his stools become bloody. Within a week, two Bogotá physicians, unaware of his UFO experience, concludes he has gastroenteritis. Within hours of his exam, Bermúdez dies. His doctor claims he has previously been in good health. His injuries suggest a fatal whole-body ionizing radiation dose of 300–500 rems. Likely only X-rays, gamma rays, or neutrons could travel a distance of 45 feet through the air.

Event 31873 (DBCDDB4A)

Date: 7/4/1969
Description: At eight o’clock in the evening Mauricio Gnecco saw a yellowish red light moving in the sky over Anolaima, Colombia. When he signaled to it with a flashlight it approached to within 150 feet of his house. It was a Saturn-shaped UFO, yellow-orange in color, and had two bent, blue and green legs. It appeared to land on a nearby hill. Arcesio Bermudez, an adult, went to the landing site and approached to within 20 feet of the craft. He saw a being inside the object whose upper body looked normal, but whose lower half–from the waist down–resembled a luminous letter “A”. The object then “blinked on,” rose and disappeared. Two days later Sr. Bermudez became very ill, and within a few days he died of gastroenteritis.

She looked to her right and saw a UFO hovering about 1,000 feet away. She described it as an oval-shaped craft, with a transparent rectangular section in the center. She saw inside this transparent part the silhouettes of several men staring at her. At one point she briefly looked away, and when she looked back the object had disappeared.

Event 31875 (637C193E)

Date: 7/5/1969
Description: (Translated from French) Arcesio Bermudez’s two children spot a shining object about 300 m away from them. When they signal it with their flashlight, the UFO approaches to a distance of about 60 m. The children quickly alert their family. Arcesio Bermudez asks those accompanying him to wait: he will explore alone and with his flashlight the hill behind which the luminous object they are 12 like him to have seen has disappeared. When Arcesio returns, a few minutes later, he seems to be in an intense fear. Pressed with questions, he tells that he saw the object, now dark except for its transparent and luminous top, only 6 m away from him. He then directed the beam of his flashlight towards this illuminated part and glimpsed “a small person”. At that precise moment, the UFO lit up and moved away at great speed. (July 5th, 8:30 PM)

Locations: Beaufort, Victoria, Australia; Golf Course
Description: 8:30 p.m. Economics student Tim Oliver is near a golf course on the outskirts of Beaufort, Victoria, Australia, when he sees a red “star” over a hill about a mile away. On closer inspection, it proves to be a hovering UFO. He quickly goes home, and by the time he returns with his mother in the family car, the UFO has been joined by another identical object. They are moving about 20 mph to the southeast, 50 feet in the air, 200 feet apart, and nearly parallel to some high-powered electrical lines. As they drive to right outside the golf course, both UFOs apparently respond to their presence by turning toward them but soon resumed their parallel course when Oliver turns the car engine off. Oliver walks to within 50 feet of the leading object. Each is about 30 feet in diameter, saucer-shaped, with an upper flat-topped cupola and about 24 square windows through which comes the bright red light. They are completely silent. Both he and his mother (who has watched from the golf course fence) see the UFOs disappear to the southeast, still flying parallel to the power lines.

Description: (Translated from French) Arcesio Bermudez dies in the hospital of Bogota where he had just been admitted. The doctors’ diagnosis — to whom the story of the UFO was not told — is that he succumbed to gastroenteritis, a very common disease in the country. A report from Dr. Cesar Esmerald Barros, from Bogota, indicates: The victim’s temperature had dropped to 35°C. The cardiovascular-pulmonary system presented: pericarditis, asphyxia, coughing, painful chest oppression, slow pulse. The digestive system was affected: bloody diarrhea, black vomiting, dry mouth, painful abdomen, particularly on the right side. Mental faculties and nervous system: normal.

Description: 11:00 p.m. Patti Barr and Kathy Mahr, two teenage cousins, hear a loud roaring noise at Van Horne, Iowa, while upstairs in their house. They look out the window to see a reddish-orange ball of light rotating and spinning counterclockwise above the adjacent soybean field. The next morning, they tell Pat’s father, farmer Warren Barr, who then discovers a 24-foot-diameter, nearly bare oval in the soybean field. The plants’ leaves are severely dehydrated, dry, and brittle. This case was investigated by several groups at the time; localized intense heat or radiation is listed as most likely cause.

Locations: Petawawa, Ontario; Ottawa River; Ontario
Description: Early morning. Edgar Paquette and Mrs. Leo Edwards are driving near Petawawa, Ontario, when they see a bright star that lights up the Ottawa River next to them. Convinced the light is following them, Paquette turns off the headlights, which makes the object appear to hesitate. But he gets out of the car, causing the interior light to go on, and the object descends to within 60 feet of the ground. When he starts signaling it with a flashlight, it comes even closer, and Paquette sees that it is 8 feet in diameter with two legs beneath it. Both of them panic and drive home, dragging their teenage children out of bed to look at the light. Ontario police officers Jack McKay and Grant Chaplin follow the light for 38 minutes as it travels at a high altitude.

Date: Mid 7/1969
Location: Manotick, Ontario
Description: Bernard O’Brien is cutting grass in a field with his tractor near Manotick, Ontario, when a small cloud of smoke rises from the ground as he passes over a particular spot. He notifies the field’s owner, John Fox, who comes out for a look. Fox finds three near-perfect circles in the field, two together and the third nearly 150 feet away. Each of them are rings of affected grass 15–20 feet in diameter and about a foot wide. Grass is flattened inside the circle, but the rings themselves are dark and contain a crystalline substance. Peter Millman of the National Research Council claims that the circles are caused by the fairy ring mushroom (Marasmius oreades) because an analysis of the crystalline substance shows no evidence of mineral content or radioactivity.

Event 31912 (3260A870)

Date: 7/20/1969
Description: (Translated from French) Before the first moon landing, the crew of Apollo 11 observe a large flying object heading in the same direction as the capsule. Seen through a small telescope, it looks like a hollow, dented cylinder at times, but when the telescope is focused properly, a distinct “L” shape is seen, like an open suitcase, according to Neil Armstrong. The crew thinks it is the SIV-B launch rocket, now detached, but the ground base announces that the rocket is 10000 km away. One of the investigators suggests that the object might have been a piece of insulation material. Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin gently land the Eagle module in the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon while Michael Collins remains in low orbit (112 km) aboard Columbia, filming both the visible and hidden sides of our natural satellite. 6 hours later, he descends the ladder, soon joined by Edwin Aldrin. He spends 2 and a half hours on the lunar surface. (July 20/21)

Two of the ships had capsized but the other three were totally undamaged despite the disappearance of all passengers and crew.

Event 31914 (784E0CAD)

Date: 7/21/1969
Location: SPACE
Description: (Translated from French) Armstrong and Aldrin, after walking on the Moon, returning to the Lem to rejoin Apollo 11, would have exchanged surprising remarks picked up by North American amateur radios and censored by NASA which, for this purpose, often retransmitted with a difference of 5 seconds the words of the cosmonauts (according to journalist Sam Pepper in the Canadian newspaper National Bulletin of September 29, 1969). (…) On their return Aldrin and Collins confirmed that on their way to the Moon they saw a huge cylindrical craft orbiting between their capsule and the lunar surface and Collins declared himself “shocked by the traces on the Moon.” (Jean-Francis CROLARD: “The Enigma of E.T.” - ed. Guy TREDANIEL 1995, p. 36, 37) Apollo 11, July 1969 (Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin) It is supposed that two UFOs were hovering at the moment when Armstrong was about to descend the ladder of the LEM placed in the Sea of Tranquility. The magazine “Modern People” says that Aldrin took some photos, which they published in their June 1975 issue. They would have obtained these photos from a Japanese source. (…) The halos seen around the astronauts is due only to a reflection on their spacesuits. (…) Timothy Good writes that HAM radio amateurs would have received VHF signals from the conversation, filtered by NASA: (“They are here and they are watching us”) Timothy Good uses an excerpt from “SAGA UFO SPECIAL #3” as the source of his assertion. But the technical debriefing of Apollo 11 speaks of an object (debris?) very close to the Moon. Collins also said he felt a shock, but thought he might have imagined it. Armstrong also said that the distance was not evaluable, and therefore the size of the observed thing, either. They observed it with the telescope and found it more or less in the shape of an L: like an open suitcase. Or like two rings connected, difficult to specify, because the vision was very bad. (…) In his book “Carrying The Fire” astronaut Michael Collins makes no mention of this incident.

Event 31954 (0C71DC6B)

Date: 8/11/1969
Description: Jean Migueres was driving an ambulance at around 6:00 a.m. from Perpignan to Rouen, France when he heard a voice in his head say: “Do not be afraid, nothing bad will happen to you, you will feel nothing.” Twenty minutes later he observed a nearly spherical cloud moving toward him. It then took the form of a cloudy nucleus surrounded by an incandescent white ring having at its base a dull black metallic platform, shaped like a domed disc, about 65 feet in diameter. At the same time, a “DS” car appeared, moving directly toward the ambulance. Migueres was unable to avoid it, and a head on collision took place 30 kilometers from Rouen. He estimated that the ambulance was speeding at 100 kph at the time. After the crash, a being “materialized” on the seat beside Migueres, and addressed him telepathically in French. “Be assured, you are only apparently injured…you will feel no physical pain…I am going to “regenerate” you by a procedure that is not yet known on your planet.” He then took from a pouch on his belt a disc about 1 inch in diameter, of an incandescent white luminosity, and applied it to the nape of Miguere’s neck. Migueres felt a prickling sensation all along his spinal column. The being said:”This accident was necessary for you; we will come back to see you.” Then he disappeared. Migueres had multiple injuries and broken bones but reported feeling no pain, then or later. He underwent several lengthy operations and was twice pronounced “clinically dead.” After an internal hemorrhage with bursting of the gall bladder, he received a telepathic message to “leave the hospital immediately,” which he obeyed, being transported to a hospital at Montpellier, near his home, where he was again pronounced “dead.” Nevertheless he survived. After three weeks in the Montpellier hospital he received a message: “You have succeeded in your mission thanks to our help…you can now go home, we will continue to protect you.”

He went home, but for three years his broken bones remained unhealed. “Then one day, all the bones re-knitted in record time,” and he was able to walk again, without even a limp. Migueres says that since his accident he has had the gift of healing. He remains in contact with the “extraterrestrials,” who have given him a “code which permits him to free the corresponding wavelength of his brain” to establish contact with them. The “extraterrestrial” seen at the time of the accident was of medium height, or less, with a very swarthy skin and a big head with a very high and wide forehead, eyes far apart, eyebrows “like scars,” and brown hair cut short. He was wearing a coverall or a pants and shirt combination resembling a military uniform, with no hat or helmet.

Description: Luis Renato Matos, a schoolteacher, was driving his sister in law and her two children from Ararauma to Campos, Brazil. At 2:50 a.m. near Macae, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil he saw a blue light which, when seen again some 200 meters ahead, now appeared as a bright blue inverted plate about 20 meters in diameter. It floated at an inclined angle 3 to 4 meters above the ground. His passengers were all sleeping at the time. As he came around a bend in the road, Sr. Renato saw five or six small human like figures less than a meter tall, all scurrying rapidly about. Each one carried an illuminated pear-shaped implement, held by a small rod; these glowed like red-hot irons. Renato sped up the car and just after he passed through Macae his headlights failed and the motor quit. He sat there for a long while not knowing what to do until, finally, he was again able to start the car and proceed.

Event 31964 (772B391E)

Date: 8/22/1969
Description: After Mrs. Joyce Vellacca and her husband reported seeing a multicolored UFO maneuvering over South Akron, Ohio she decided to lie down on the sofa for a short nap. She had scarcely stretched out when a big gust of wind swept through a window and blew the curtains out. Mrs. Vellacca got up to close the window and became frozen in place, literally unable to move. Furthermore, standing on the other side of the window was a woman staring back at her. The woman was well proportioned with beautiful long dark chestnut hair. But the woman had no discernible features where her face would be. Oddly, when Mrs. Vellacca recovered from her frozen immobility, the visitor had vanished. She rushed outside and turned on all the floodlights to illuminate the area, but could see nothing unusual. Then there came a high-pitched whine similar to that of a motorcycle, except that when a motorcycle reaches its highest velocity there is a loud roar, and none was heard. Instead, the noise gained in shrill frequency until it was no longer heard. The dogs in the neighborhood were raising a great rumpus.

Description: At 10:10 p.m. eleven people were watching for UFOs on Cradle Hill in Warminster, England when they saw something like a “burning bush” on the ground about 600 yards away, in a place called “Kidnappers Hole.” Christopher Trubridge and Robert Coates ran towards it. The light went out, but when they got near the spot Christopher saw a figure about seven feet tall in the moonlight, about 100 feet away. It was dressed in a tight-fitting shiny black suit, with a gold sash or “bandoleer” over one shoulder. It also had long, dark golden hair that fell to its shoulders and had bright eyes. The eye color was impossible to determine in the moonlight, but it had a “rather feminine” set of features and a not unattractive face. She was motionless, with one arm upraised. The witnesses could not approach any closer than about 30 yards, overcome by fear. Fear mixed with another impossible to describe emotional response caused both men be beat a hasty retreat.

Event 31989 (C2098E0E)

Date: 9/4/1969
Location: NEW ZEALAND, radar-optical
Description: (Translated from French) The observation began shortly before 7:30 PM. Moonless night, visibility 20 km. Capt. Cullum and First Officer Faircloth had just taken off for a routine flight on a Bristol-cargo of the Straits Air Freight Express, from Wellington to Blenheim. Suddenly the control tower calls: the airport radar has an unknown object located 6.4 km in front of the Bristol, which is flying at the time towards the north, then turns towards the west facing the coast, then towards the southwest towards Blenheim. It is at this moment that Faircloth locates a fluorescent, blue, bright, pulsating light, on the right rear of the Bristol at about 3.2 km. The radar is informed. The UFO flies very slowly, from 92 to 111 km/h. Its light pulses every two or three seconds and is as bright as a first magnitude star. It is heading south. During the return flight, 90 minutes later, Faircloth spots the same object resembling a group of lights, about 24 km off the coast of South Island, near the Cape Campbell lighthouse. The Wellington radar confirms the observation.

Event 31991 (A3D323BE)

Date: 9/4/1969
Location: Ngatea, New Zealand
Description: A farmer, Bert O’Neil, discovers a circular patch of dead and silvery-white manuka plants (Leptospermum scoparium, tea tree) in the midst of otherwise green and lush growth on a remote section of his farm near Ngatea, New Zealand. Near the center of the circle, he finds three ground indentations, positioned so as to form the inside points of a triangle. Off to one side is the taller stand of tea tree, also bleached and dead. He remembers seeing this from afar three weeks earlier, arousing his curiosity. The dead scrubweed within the circle is still standing and undisturbed. It looks as if some large object has come down from the sky and landed on three long stilts. At first, O’Neil only discusses his find within the family, but the news quickly leaks to the local radio and press.

Location: CANADA, Montreal region
Description: (Translated from French) Mrs. L. and her son were walking on a small road near a wood, and were worried because their dog had disappeared during the walk. Suddenly, near the wood, about 150 m away, they saw an object on the ground, with three men outside, who were bent over, and two inside the craft, with their backs to them. The men were tall, about 2.30 m, and thin, wearing suits. The craft was oval and about 5 m high. The witnesses remained motionless observing for 10 minutes, then turned around to go and get the husband. When they returned to the spot with him, everything had disappeared. (September 22, 1969)

Date: 9/22/1969
Description: On this evening a woman was walking with her son along a footpath in a wooded area in Montreal, Quebec when they noticed a bright circular object on the ground at the edge of the woods. There were three men standing outside of the object and two men inside. The men were described as very tall, over seven-foot tall, thin, and wearing tight-fitting one-piece garments. The witness left to get other witnesses but upon returning the object and the humanoids were already gone. A circular flattened area of grass was found at the site. That same evening in Saratoga, New York at 7 p.m. a large circle of white light was seen by three witnesses. It was flashing red, green and orange lights. It made no sound as it moved very slowly off at a low altitude.

Event 32018 (DAE548EE)

Date: 9/24/1969
Location: BELGIUM, Zellik (Brabant)
Description: (Translated from French) The witness was walking his dog around 8 pm. Suddenly a craft appeared in the sky: it came from the north and moved in a sparkle without emitting any sound. It stopped, its shape was triangular. “This extraordinary delta wing had a murky luminosity, a mix of white and blue around the tail, a bit like the glows of neon lights in the city at night. The hull was a mix of dark red and dark yellow. Suddenly a second craft appeared and placed itself to the left of the first one, still motionless. It had an identical structure, but the fuselage was illuminated. This second object stayed motionless for a few minutes before disappearing all at once. An astonishing disappearance. The object was no longer detectable. The craft that had appeared first was still there, motionless, with its emissions of light and sparks. It was facing me slightly inclined. How long did I stay there? I don’t know, five minutes? It was my dog pulling on the leash that made me realize I had my feet on the ground.” (September 24, 1969)

Event 32042 (6AD727C5)

Date: 10/3/1969
Locations: Rennie, Manitoba; Highway 44
Description: After 8:00 p.m. RCMP Constable S. B. Barrie and his wife Vivian are driving 5 miles west of Rennie, Manitoba, on a poor highway in bad weather. He stops to clean mud off the headlights and noticees a light to the east hanging just off Highway 44 and over the trees. He continues driving and he sees the light as a light-pink inverted saucer moving with a jerky motion. Now only 500 feet away, it seems to be 20 feet in diameter with an odd white tail that snakes toward the ground. Suddenly the car’s windshield wipers stop working, the headlights go out, and the engine stalls. Barrie gets out of the car and the object zooms silently to the southwest and is lost to sight. He senses the air has a strange, heavy odor, but he is able to get the car started again.

Location: St. Louis, Missouri
Description: A large area of St. Louis, Missouri, is blanketed by a pure-white, sticky substance ranging from dime-size to 10-foot-long streamers. The majority of it sublimates on ground contact. The Smithsonian concludes it is caused by ballooning spiders, even though only one spider specimen is found. When a sample is tested by Wayne E. Black of the St. Louis County Health Department, he finds the samples test negative for protein, the basic composition of spider web.

Event 32049 (AAAAF62B)

Date: 10/9/1969
Location: BELGIUM, Grâce-Hollogne
Description: (Translated from French) Jacques Yerna, 16 years old, on horseback, saw at around 7:45 PM, 4 blinking lights arranged in a square, in a straight line, slowly, without any noise, hovering between 50 and 100 meters in altitude. White flashes of light at irregular intervals, suggesting a round shape. Arriving at a small grove of birches of 100 x 30 meters slightly elevated, the horse shivered and pricked up its ears. Suddenly, from the corner of the wood, from a field of beets, an electric flash of the same type as those emitted by the craft. He turned in that direction and saw, vertically above the trees, at an elevation of 10°, a black round shape with a small dome, motionless, with 4 red blinking lights arranged in a square. This second object seemed to be of smaller dimensions than the first and was about 6 to 7 meters long and 2 to 3 meters high. Suddenly, the second object moved very quickly and placed itself at 60 or 70 meters behind the first: the 8 red blinking lights then flew together in a straight trajectory. Total duration of the observation 15 minutes. At 100 meters beyond the witness encountered a car stopped with all lights off and a man standing about thirty meters away in a field looking south. At this moment the horse suddenly became very afraid, as did the witness, and so he returned directly to the stable.

Date: 10/11/1969
Location: FRANCE, Wambez (Oise)
Description: (Translated from French) At 6:15, in the place called “Les Longues Raies”, the road worker Amédée Luquet saw, in the morning fog, 150 m away in a meadow a bright white light partially hidden by a hedge. A lighthouse rises and finally a dark mass (black ovoid block 12 m long or the size of a 4CV according to one or the other of the two investigators) dotted with red lights (6 to 10 for the investigator M. Lesbros) (5 to 6 for MM. Barthel and Brucker) Everything is strongly lit. The craft made a loop that brought it almost above Mr. Luquet at an estimated height of 50 meters. It made a complete loop and disappeared in the direction of Buicourt. At the closest, the witness heard a noise similar to that made by the wind in the foliage and a slight whistle. The cows in the meadow had no reaction.

Event 32066 (8C10F872)

Date: 10/16/1969
Description: On October 8, 1969, or eight days earlier, ten-year-old Steven with another youngster had sighted a UFO at the base of a cloud in Waterville, Iowa and took a snap shot. The UFO apparently landed at the time, leaving traces. On the 16th at around 5 p.m., Steve watched a spherical UFO, ten feet wide and 6-7 feet high, land not 60 feet away from him. His attention was caught by the humming sound it emitted as a ramp came smoothly out of the craft. A little man, 3 to 4 feet tall, with long arms and hands with only two digits, emerged with a bow-legged gait. He wore a disproportionately large yellow-brown helmet, which he took off to wipe his brow. The boy could see that he was bald and had a pale green complexion. He had large eyes set close together, a slit like mouth and a double slit where the nose would be. He was dressed in a white spacesuit. The being looked directly at Steven, then put his helmet back on and re-entered the UFO.

Event 32067 (D7AF08C7)

Date: 10/20/1969
Description: Brig. Gen. Carroll H. Bolender, USAF Deputy Director of Development, writes a draft document saying that the “continuation of Project Blue Book cannot be justified either on the ground of national security or in the interest of science.” Bolender adds that “reports of unidentified flying objects which could affect national security are made in accordance with JANAP 146 or Air Force Manual 55-1 and are not part of the Blue Book system.” This is a clear indication that Blue Book is only a front for a classified UFO project.

Event 32071 (8EECAED9)

Date: 10/24/1969
Locations: South Pacific Ocean; Valparaiso, Chile
Description: 12:43 a.m. A Chilean Navy destroyer is moving north at 20 knots in the South Pacific Ocean about 350 miles south of Valparaiso, Chile. The radar officer reports a target rapidly approaching the ship, apparently moving 213 miles in one minute, which would indicate a speed of 12,780 mph. At 12:47 a.m., the target is only 12 miles away, and it suddenly breaks into six targets. The officer in charge and five other personnel can now see one massive and five smaller lighted objects approaching the ship. The large UFO looks like a big box with semicircles on the side, and it is bigger than the ship, which is 360 feet long. The five smaller objects are egg- shaped, bluish, and no more than 8 feet long and 5–6 feet wide. At about 6,000 feet from the ship, the smaller objects move away from the larger one, three to portside and two to starboard, and begin flying in ellipses between the ship and the large object. At 900 feet away, the officers can hear the object make a humming noise. The ship’s power and instruments go dead as the large object passes overhead. Bright red lights under the UFO seem to be moving back and forth inside the craft, visible through a half-circle on the bottom. “Corn cobs” with green or turquoise pulsating lights are on the side. When the UFO is 600 feet away, the power comes back on. The smaller objects, never coming closer than 1,500–3,000 feet, fly around the ship and join up with the large object on the other side. All 6 objects vanish about 2 miles away. At least 8 minutes have passed, with three radar technicians tracking the UFOs. The ship’s commander orders everyone to keep silent about what they have seen. The sighting is deleted from the ship’s log. The six witnesses are debriefed for two days in Valparaiso by two Chilean Navy officers and four Americans who are allegedly naval attachés with the US Embassy.

Event 32072 (5EC558DD)

Date: 10/24/1969
End date: 10/27/1969
Locations: Ankara, Turkey; Mürted Air Base
Description: The Turkish Air Force is inundated with reports of UFOs over Ankara, Turkey. Jet fighters are scrambled from Mürted Air Base [now closed] northwest of the city and close to within 7.5 miles, but the objects always pull away and climb higher. Even the base commander, Ercüment Gökaydin, flies with the interceptors to 35,000 feet, but the UFO is at a height of 50,000 feet. It is a silvery, oval disc. The jets take gun-camera film, which has never been released. One pilot says the object has three round portholes.

Event 32073 (E60A7BD9)

Date: 10/24/1969
Description: A Chilean informant claims a Chilean Navy destroyer witnessed six objects that approached the ship, one larger than the destroyer. The objects were cube and egg-shaped, and electromagnetic interference was reported. The next morning, the ship arrived in Valparaiso, Chile, four U.S. naval attaches spoke with the Chilean officers on duty the night before, were told they didn’t see anything and interrogated for two days until they signed NDAs. Source claims they were threatened if they ever spoke about it.

Date: 10/30/1969
Location: Redding, California
Description: 10:00 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. Chapin are driving at their mine site near Redding, California, when they see a rattlesnake in the road. As they get out to go to the mine and kill the snake, they find the area oddly hot. They notice a disturbance in the brush some 60 feet away in a flattened area of mine tailings. An egg-shaped object rises noiselessly a few feet off the ground and takes off down the canyon, swaying but not striking small trees. Soon it zooms upward at a sharp angle and is out of sight in seconds. They find a shallow, oval, depressed spot less than 2 inches deep and 10 feet across in the mine tailings. A conical pile of unusual-looking sand is also discovered, and two days later they find a metallic glob about the size of a fist nearby. They have the material analyzed in 1977. Scattered about in the unusual sand pile are irregular bits of pale-green glass-like material made of nearly pure silicon. The metal glob is completely black on the outside and 77% copper in the interior, combined with tin and traces of silver, chromium, and other metals. Both are considered foreign to the geology of the mine site.

It was seen as it landed in a steep, wooded canyon. The minimum distance to the object was only 60 feet. It took off fast, causing the trees to sway, and zoomed up into the sky. Ground marks were found at the landing site: there was an 10 foot oval-shaped depression, 1-2 inches deep.

Event 32102 (6AB09599)

Date: 11/6/1969
Location: BRAZIL, Pirasununga
Description: (Translated from French) Very many witnesses, including military personnel, observed the landing of a 6m diameter disc. On top, a lid lifted and two beings of about 1m10 emerged, while two others remained inside in a kind of glass cabin. Their complexion was greenish, they wore aluminum clothing and a helmet from which a rubber tube emerged. Through this tube, rough sounds were heard. They seemed to show a globe to the witnesses and something that fell. As the closest spectator smoked, they seemed intrigued and attracted the packet with their hand like a magnet. Men arrived shouting. The two beings then retreated without looking back and floated in the air to enter the craft. When the last one was half introduced, he directed a kind of blowpipe at the closest witness and a blue-red ray reached the young man’s legs, paralyzing him. Then the craft took off. The two little beings had yellow eyes without pupils or whites, the end of their nose was flattened and their teeth interlocked with each other. Crushed vegetation and visible furrows on the landing area.

Event 32107 (C0092EFC)

Date: 11/14/1969
Location: IN SPACE
Description: (Translated from French) Apollo XII: two very bright objects were seen at about 200,000 km from the Earth. (Philippe SCHNEYDER: “Ovni, premier bilan” - éd. du Rocher 1983, p. 233) During the Apollo 12 flight, an unidentified object followed it for 3 orbits around the Moon and, three hours before landing, Conrad warned Houston “that between the capsule and India they are flying over, there is an immobile bright light, as big as Venus, at least”. (…) (Jean-Francis CROLARD: “L’énigme des E.T.” - éd. Guy TREDANIEL 1995, p. 37) Astronauts Pete Conrad, Alan Bean and Dick Gordon say that a UFO accompanied them up to 212,000 kilometers from the Moon, preceding them all the way. (J. Allen HYNEK and Jacques VALLEE: “Aux limites de la réalité” - éd. Albin Michel 1978, p 84) Apollo 12, November 14, 1969 (Conrad, Gordon, Bean) On the first day of the trip, the astronauts informed the Ground Control that two flashing lights were seen above the capsule. After rejecting the possibility that they were spinning debris from the Apollo booster, the ground suggested that they might be protection panels dropped. “It could be,” replied one of the astronauts, “but one of those lights just passed here at a dizzying speed”. It is however reasonable to think that they were indeed debris from one or the other satellite, not always American, orbiting on a different orbit. (1989 - listing and research by Harvey S. Stewart) Ground observatories observed the capsule accompanied by two bright UFOs near the Moon. Then, on approach to Earth before landing, a large UFO with red lights was observed.

Event 32109 (C60D90A4)

Date: 11/15/1969
Location: FRANCE, Nancy
Description: (Translated from French) At around 5 pm, the witness was waiting at her window to feed the pigeons she usually feeds every day. Coming from her right, in front, at the level of the roofs, behind a chimney she saw a transparent dome with two heads visible. At first she had no reaction, went back to the kitchen and suddenly, surprised, she returned to the window. From behind the chimney, the object slowly emerged from its hiding place: a curved metal disc in grey, with a transparent dome from which only the heads of the two occupants were visible. Numerous lights like car headlights composed the underside of the craft. “But it’s a saucer,” she said out loud. And she heard, as if whispered from the outside to her ear: “Yes, it’s a saucer, don’t be afraid, you have to look.” The two beings looked at each other, turned their heads towards the witness with a smile, then their heads disappeared inside the craft. In front of a tall chimney, on its trajectory, the object performed a loop. At the same time, two other UFOs, entirely identical to the first, with two humanoid figures visible, skimmed the roofs at 70 m from her. The first object joined the two others and the formation moved away towards the Rue d’Amerval (NO). The witness then wanted to warn her neighbors, but when she turned around she saw herself in the mirror and was stunned to see that her face and hands were swollen and that a bump, as big as a pigeon egg, adorned her forehead. (In 1978 a red scar still persisted). The swelling and the bump disappeared half an hour after the observation.

Event 32114 (D099F549)

Date: 11/15/1969
Description: The witness was at his window in Nancy, France at 5 p.m. awaiting the arrival of some pigeons that he customarily fed. He spotted a transparent cupola with two heads visible inside that was behind a nearby chimney. He initially had no reaction, but when he turned back to look out the window a short time later he saw the UFO fly slowly from behind the chimney. It was a gray metallic disc with a transparent dome on top. It had many lights resembling car headlights visible around its circumference. He exclaimed, “But it’s a saucer!” and heard a voice whisper outside his ear: “Yes, it is a saucer, do not be afraid, it was necessary that you see it.”

The two beings inside the dome then looked at themselves, and then turned their heads towards the witness while smiling at him. Their heads then disappeared from inside the objec, and at that same moment two other UFOs, identical to the first, also with visible figures inside transparent domes fly over the roofs about 70 meters above him. The first object joined the other two and all three flew towards the north. The witness tried to notify his neighbors but found himself in a kind of stupor with his face and hands swollen and a red bump on his forehead. A red scar on his forehead was still visible when last examined by investigators in 1978.

Event 32165 (2F2C7A09)

Date: Winter 1969
Location: FRANCE, Bourg-Lastic/Laqueuille
Description: (Translated from French) At 8:30 PM it was pitch black and raining. Mr. Carlet saw in the middle of the road an immense white mushroom-like object, 3 m tall, that was moving. He noticed that the thing was moving at 50 cm from the ground. It seemed luminous and ghostly, its contours were sharp and its base undulated like it was striped. The thing was moving at the same speed as the motorist and he considered overtaking it, but there wasn’t enough room. He then flashed his headlights to force the mysterious intruder, which was about 80 m away in headlight range but 20 m away in dipped beam range, to give way. He then played around with the lights, convinced of the unreality of what he was seeing. Suddenly he accelerated and drove through his “mirage” in order to play a trick on this hallucination!

Alas! He actually drove into the thing. There was a metallic sound, the object passed over the hood, veered to the right, brushed against the windshield. The witness then braked and, turning his head, saw the thing outside the range of his headlights crossing the ditch and disappearing behind a wall. He returned home in the grip of a terrible headache. The next day he looked for the point of impact on his car: the hood was intact. (1969, Winter)

Date: 12/26/1969
End date: 12/27/1969
Locations: Boston, Massachusetts; NASA Manned Spacecraft Center; MIT; University Corporation for Atmospheric Research; Cornell; Lakenheath-Bentwaters
Description: The American Academy for the Advancement of Science holds a special two-day segment on “Unidentified Flying Objects” at its annual meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, at the Sheraton Hotel. The program is arranged by Thornton Page (NASA Manned Spacecraft Center), Philip Morrison (MIT), Walter Orr Roberts (University Corporation for Atmospheric Research), and Carl Sagan (Cornell). Rising to the occasion, James E. McDonald presents an excellent critique of the Air Force and Colorado project investigations as well as an in- depth examination of the RB-47 and Lakenheath-Bentwaters cases. Donald Menzel attempts to show that all UFO sightings can be explained, even though some of his “explanations” are complex. Morrison discusses the nature of hard evidence and concludes that reliable UFO reports would stand up both in a court of law and in the rigors of science. Cornell University Press publishes the proceedings, UFOs—A Scientific Debate, in 1972.

Event 32169 (2EE2D57A)

Date: 12/27/1969
Description: In the early hours after midnight Miss Mary Smith and her mother were in their parked car near Atlanta, Georgia talking. They were parked along the side of the road in the suburbs, and it was about two a.m. when her mother first noticed a black, saucer-shaped flying object with a flat bottom hovering some distance away. The bottom opened slowly and from it descended a “plastic bubble” with a glowing light inside. It drifted downward, and then separated into three glowing, arrow-shaped objects that came to rest in a parking lot across the street. Shortly afterwards they saw three dark humanoid forms at the spot. They looked like men with wide shoulders and narrow hips, but with arms shorter than normal. One was much larger than the others. All three were “sweeping furiously” with tools like lawn rakes over a spot about nine feet in diameter. What they swept up was put into a basket-shaped container in the center. At one point the larger figure chased after something to the edge of the street and caught it in his hand, picking it up and running back to put it in the basket. When two teenaged boys drove up in a car and saw the beings they drove into the parking lot. The figures then abruptly vanished.

Has anyone ever traveled to a UFO sighting location or historical event site just out of curiosity? I was reading about past sightings and wondered how people plan such trips. During a visit to Seattle, I even noticed how Seattle Limo Service are sometimes used for long city tours.
