Event 34957 (1704E129)

Date: 10/11/1973
Locations: Gautier, Mississippi; Pascagoula River; Keesler AFB in Biloxi; Mississippi Press Register; Jackson County Sheriff’s Office
Description: Around 7:00 p.m. Two men, 19-year-old Calvin Parker and 42-year old Charles E. Hickson Sr., both of Gautier, Mississippi, are fishing in the Pascagoula River when they hear a buzzing noise behind them. Both turn and are terrified to see a 10-foot-wide, 8-foot-high, glowing egg-shaped object with blue lights at its front hovering just above the ground about 40 feet from the riverbank. As the men, frozen with fright, watch, a door appears in the object and three strange beings float just above the river towards them. The two become numb and paralyzed as the entities carry them into the UFO. Some kind of “eye” device scans them before they are released 20 minutes later. They first contact Keesler AFB in Biloxi, but no one is interested; then they drive to the offices of the Mississippi Press Register a few blocks away, but it is closed. So they call the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office to report their encounter, and they arrive there at 10:30 p.m. At one point during 2 hours of intense grilling by Sheriff Fred R. Diamond, they are left alone in an interrogation room where they are unknowingly tape recorded while they continue to speak to each other about the abduction, emotionally distressed.

Event 34965 (DC2D8411)

Date: 10/11/1973
Description: Two men, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, were doing some evening fishing from an old pier in an abandoned shipyard on the Pascagoula River in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Shortly after nightfall, at around 8:30 p.m., Charley Hickson, looking around to bait his hook, saw a domed, football-shaped object descend until it hovered just off the ground about 30 feet away from them. The craft had two windows and two blue lights, and made a buzzing sound. When the object landed an unseen door opened to reveal a brilliantly lit interior. Three beings came out and floated toward the witnesses. These beings were about five feet tall. Their skin was gray and rough like elephant skin that made them look like mummies. No clothes were apparent. In the center of their faces was something about two inches long that came out to a point and resembled a nose. They had a slit for a mouth, which never opened, if they had eyes they couldn’t be seen because the area above the nose was too wrinkled. They had no neck and their ears were pointed and retractable. Their arms were unusually long, and their hands were like mittens with a thumb attached. Their legs never moved but stayed together like a pedestal. Their feet were elephant-like.

When two of the beings grabbed Hickson by his arms he felt a pain in his left shoulder. This immobilized him and allowed his captors to lift him and somehow float him over to the craft. The third being seized Parker, who immediately went limp. Once inside Hickson was nearly blinded by the light but was unable to close his eyelids. He saw no furniture, only a screen-like device on the wall. He hung suspended in the air at a 45-degree angle while an eyelike device appeared out of the wall in front of his face and circled around him. The beings that held Hickson moved in a stiff, mechanical way but did their work with speed and efficiency. One made a buzzing sound. The beings then disappeared for some time. When they returned, they grasped Hickson again and floated him through the opening, which had reappeared. They left him back at the place where they had found him. His legs collapsed when he touched the ground. Parker stood by with a terrified look on his face. Meanwhile, the buzzing sound and blue light resumed, and the craft rose straight up and disappeared almost instantly. Hickson “heard” a message in his mind that the beings were peaceful. Hickson subsequently reported having three more close encounter incidents, one of which apparently involved the same beings. Two involved telepathic communication only and the transfer of information that has not been disclosed.

Event 34966 (84BFB0D1)

Date: 10/11/1973
Description: On the same afternoon as the Hickson and Parker abduction in Pascagoula, Mississippi, a three-year-old boy told his mother that he had been playing with “some old monster” in the backyard. He said the monster was gray with wrinkled skin and pointed ears. This occurred in Tanner Williams, Alabama not far from Pascagoula.

Event 34969 (21D6D159)

Date: 10/11/1973
Description: Civilians Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker claim they see an oval UAP and are taken aboard the craft by “robots” for examination near the Pascagoula River in
Mississippi. Hickson refused to take a polygraph, but former Project Blue Book advisor J. Allen Hynek stated the testimony was sincere.

Parker claims his father once worked for the Atomic Energy Commission near Area 51, and the sighting occurred near a shipyard managed by Ingalls Shipbuilding, then owned by Litton Industries, creator of advanced space suits for the USAF and NASA. The appearance of the alleged entities Hickson and Parker saw may match the description of advanced experimental suits Litton was designing at the time. Was this event a military test of some kind using “UAP abduction” as a cover?

Note: AFOSI counterintelligence officer Richard C. Doty states the 7602nd Air Intelligence Group at Fort Belvoir, VA conducted psychological operations on U.S. citizens who inadvertently saw classified aerospace projects at the installation. Doty states the 7602nd would stage UAP/alien abductions and/or interactions to traumatize civilians near the base who witnessed USG or USG contractor projects. Was the Pascagoula event an early example of a similar “mi-lab” phenomena?

• https://youtu.be/I3U56KZbswU?t=100

Note: The term “milab” is used by ufologists and popular culture to describe a similar phenomena reported by some witnesses.

Note: Northrop Grumman acquired Litton Industries in 2000, but any UAP work could have spun off from Litton earlier. For example, Litton split some operations off into Western Atlas in 1994. It is unknown if Litton did any work for advanced UAP related projects, where that work would have been housed.

Event 34970 (0EA18848)

Date: 10/12/1973
Location: USA, Cincinnati (Ohio)
Description: (Translated from French) Mrs. Heitfeld had set up her mobile home next to a department store warehouse. Around 2:30am she woke up, tormented by a terrible thirst. Her gaze was drawn to a bright light outside. She pulled back the curtains and saw a row of lights forming an arc. Each light as big as an open hand. There were 6 of them, spaced 120 cm apart. There was also another light that appeared in the parking lot, just behind her caravan trailer: a car parked there was masking the lower part of this light source. It was at this moment that a creature resembling a monkey appeared in the glow. Terrified, Mrs. Heitfeld watched all this for 2 to 3 minutes, thinking that the creature was very close to the car. Her 13-year-old son, who was sleeping in the mobile home, was awakened by her. When she returned to the window, she noticed that the creature was about 10 m away from the car. It was inside a shield of light: it was like a standing monkey, tall and without a neck. It had a kind of muzzle ending in a point directed downwards. Its body was uniformly gray. Only the arms moved jerkily, like a robot. The witness never saw legs or other details in the rest of the body, which moved as if sliding on the ground. She called the police and was told “Madam, we have already been to the place”. “But it is still here; this can in no way be a human being!” she cried. While her mother was on the phone, young Carl saw a car approaching the one near the caravan and connecting the battery of one to the hood of the other, and he went back to bed. Shortly afterwards a dull noise was heard: Carl assumed that the car had left. There was indeed a car breakdown by Cliff Fulmer of Tina Marie Arrico’s car: these two people noticed nothing special. Mrs. Heitfeld’s observation had ended, without her seeing how the being had left.

Event 34978 (F954F7D1)

Date: 10/12/1973
Location: Mount Baldy, Arizona
Description: 4:00 a.m. A commercial pilot is flying a Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six near Mount Baldy, Arizona, at an altitude of 2,500 feet. He notices a red flashing light on the ground in a remote area, and circles around for a closer look. As he does so, the light begins moving too and reaches a speed about the same as his plane, 170 mph. It is flashing regularly at 2-second intervals. The object is skimming over the ground, apparently following undulations in the landscape. He changes course again to intercept the light, which accelerates instantaneously to 800 mph, moving up and over Mount Baldy, following its contours. The pilot follows it for a few minutes, about 50–60 miles. After about 5 minutes the light makes a right-angle turn and accelerates vertically. After 8–10 flashes, it disappears into the upper atmosphere.

Event 34992 (4EC07608)

Date: 10/14/1973
Description: Nancy, age 22, and her boyfriend Jim were camping at Phantom Lake, Wisconsin with another couple and the couple’s baby. Nancy and Jim had just settled down in the camper for the night when they were awakened by a bright light shining in through the back window. Then the camper door suddenly burst open. They saw a bright saucer-shaped object about to land, descending in a zigzag motion. Once on the ground the glowing object disgorged a variety of figures, perhaps twenty. They could see a couple of male figures approaching their camper slowly. One appeared to be a black man. A second was similar to a swami, standing on one leg with his other leg wrapped around his head. A disembodied face appeared in the camper telling them not to be afraid. About seven of the men stood in a semi-circle, ten feet away form the van door. One of the seven had dark curly hair and was dressed in blue jeans and a red plaid shirt, and he held a German shepherd in each hand by a leash. The group stood there for about ten minutes, staring silently at the witnesses, who cowered inside the van in great fear. A man appeared carrying what looked like a scroll. Three more beings, different from the others and only four feet tall, came out of the “space ship” and moved about the area very quickly, “just sort of running around.” They seemed to glow a whitish green color. One of these perched in a tree.

While this strange assemblage was still present, Jim jumped out of the camper and warned their friends who were asleep in a nearby tent. They were unable to understand what all the excitement was about because they were unable to see either the “spaceship” or any of the beings. Jim hustled them into the camper, collected all their belongings, found his dog and, with the other couple driving, they took off. En route back to Milwaukee Nancy and Jim, riding in the rear of the camper, experienced a variety of strange phenomena, including a gloved hand apparition and a presence. Both Nancy and Jim became hysterical. The other couple perceived nothing unusual and believed their friends had gone crazy. They took them directly to a hospital emergency entrance upon returnning to Milwaukee.

Event 34994 (39368208)

Date: 10/15/1973
Location: USA, Omro, Wisconsin
Description: (Translated from French) Shortly after midnight, George Willis was awakened by a piercing noise. His room was bathed in orange light. He could make out three nightmare creatures in front of him: one to one and a half meters tall, round heads, large ears, and wrinkled skin of a grayish white. They had jerky, mechanical movements, like robots. Willis fainted. He remembers that when he woke up, he was on the floor; the entities grabbed him and propped him up against the wall. In this vertical position, his body and limbs suddenly stiffened. Helpless, he saw that the three intruders were examining his body with a strange little oval object. When the device was pointed downward towards his leg, his leg bone was visible! Immediately he was seized with a violent headache and he fainted again. He only came to at dawn. Fearfully he looked around. The lights were still on. The sheets were neatly folded.

The witness passed out and then came to on the floor, propped against the wall, unable to move. The entities were examining him with an oval object that showed the bones of his legs when it passed over them. He had a severe headache and passed out again as a being reached toward him. He awakened toward dawn on the floor. He found the lights were left on the bedroom, and the bed sheets folded neatly back.

He wore a tight-fitting outfit with a hood. Other people had gathered to see the UFO and stood around as if in a trance. The witness was taken inside and glided around with the short humanoid next to her. She remembered seeing two other humanoids sitting at a control panel, and three cubicles as well as beautiful curved walls inside the craft.

Description: 7:30 p.m. Upon arriving home at Albany, Ohio, Mary Geddis sees a “ghost-like” figure floating about 50 feet above the ground at 1,000 feet distance; it is about 4 feet tall and thin, “like a person draped in a close-fitting sheet.” It is seen only briefly when she notices a bright white object moving about, and approaches to within 200 feet before going away. The object is about 20 feet in diameter and about 25–30 feet off the ground. Later, as she is making supper, she sees a “little blue-green thing” about 2.5 feet tall and with a face with “spiky things at the tops and the sides of the head” looking in an open door; it has stumpy arms (she sees no legs) and quickly disappears from sight. UFO sightings occur around the same time in nearby Athens, Ohio.

Description: 7:45 p.m. A 50-foot-wide bluish object hovers 2–3 feet above US Highway 82, seemingly suspended on a beam of light, near Eupora, Mississippi, 300 feet from a car. The engine and headlights fail as the object lands. Another object hovers about 60 feet above the first, illuminating it. A “catfish-like” creature emerges with flippers for hands, a wide mouth, and feathers on its back. It holds onto a handrail on the craft and never goes down to the ground. It gets back in and the object rises into the air. The driver restarts the car.

Event 35050 (0D8A81F6)

Date: 10/16/1973
Location: Mannford, Oklahoma
Description: Night. William and Donna Hatchett are driving down a country road near Mannford, Oklahoma, when she sees a bright light coming from the south. They first think it is a security light on a pole, but then realize the object is pacing them and descending. When the Hatchetts stop the truck, the light also stops in front of them. As the object hovers, it gives off a blinding light and a penetrating low-pitched hum. They have a feeling that there are occupants who know everything they are thinking. Donna is so afraid that she twice leaves the truck cab and goes into the back. William manages to persuade her to return, and they set off, the object rising up in the opposite direction.

Event 35051 (B076EFD8)

Date: 10/16/1973
Locations: Lehi, Utah; outskirts of Lehi, Utah
Description: Midnight. Single mother Pat Roach is dozing on the couch with her 5-year-old son Kent in an isolated house on the outskirts of Lehi, Utah. Suddenly, Kent wakes up screaming that he has seen a “skeleton.” Roach has a vague memory an intruder and a bright light. Suspecting a prowler, she phones a neighbor, who calls the police at 12:10 a.m. A few minutes later, officers arrive, talk to Roach, find nothing amiss, and leave. Roach then checks on her other children. Two of them, Bonnie and Debbie, tell her they had seen a spaceman who had come into the house and taken them on a spaceship. Debbie remembers being told not to tell anyone, as well as seeing a line of people waiting to go on board. Disturbed, Roach takes her children and spends the rest of the night at a friend’s house. In 1975, Roach sees an article by Kevin Randle on UFO abductions and contacts him. Randle arranges for an interview and hypnosis sessions with APRO’s research director James A. Harder. An abduction tale slowly emerges that involves some elements that are little known in 1975, among them the aliens’ clinical coldness, their curiosity about human emotion, their interest in gynecology, and human participants in the physical examination. However, Randle now believes that Roach underwent sleep paralysis, was influenced by some abduction accounts over the years, and was led into the narrative by Harder’s leading questions during hypnosis.

Event 35052 (F4883E96)

Date: 10/16/1973
Description: At 2:00 a.m. Gabriella Versacci was driving on the motorway and had just passed the Langford Budville, England exit. The highway seemed completely deserted, but she saw the glare of a single headlight ahead of her that seemed to be stationary. As she got closer she saw that it was too bright to be a headlight. Her car suddenly began to lose power. The headlights flickered, dimmed, and then cut out. Next the engine faltered, sputtered then fell silent. Panic-stricken Mrs. Versacci pressed her face to the windscreen struggling to steer the car to a halt in the almost complete darkness. Thinking she could not stay there alone in the vehicle, she climbed out the car. She fumbled with the car hood as she lifted it, and as she stood there feeling helpless she noticed a humming sound, faint at first that seemed to be growing stronger. She could not see the source of the hum. As she stood facing the car a heavy hand came down on her shoulder and pushed her to the ground. She struggled to face her assailant and saw a tall, dark-colored metallic figure. Gabriella then saw flickering multi-colored lights and blacked out. When she came to she was standing in a field. The “robot” like figure was standing next to her, and before them stood a strange bright object. It was half-moon shaped, rounded on top and flat on the bottom. It was silver gray in color and rested on thick legs, of which she saw two but there might have been more. It was about 20 feet in height and forty feet across, and it had large, oblong windows in the middle from which yellow lights issued.

Gabriella now realized that the humming sound came from this object. She then blacked out for a second time. She awoke inside a strange room.It was circular, and she was strapped to a table in the center. She was naked but covered with a light blue blanket. Her wrists were bound to the table by what she described as “large rubber bands.” Her spread eagle legs were restrained in the same manner, with the bands holding her ankles to the cold surface of the table. The inside of the craft was freezing. She glanced over to a far wall where the “robot” stood inactive. To her right was a console covered in buttons and dials. The floor was covered in what appeared to be black colored rubber matting. A few moments later, three men that came into view proved her. Two stood to the left of the table while the third went to the foot of the table and picked up some boxes or cubes. He placed three of the objects on a rail, which ran the length of the table, one by her head, one by her feet and one in the middle. As soon as the cubes were placed on the rail they began to glow.

The three men were all about the same height, five feet six inches to five feet eight inches tall. Fair skinned and slim in build, they wore the same garments. All wore a skullcap, tied at the back of the head and ending just above the eyes. Facemasks covered the nose and mouth, so only the eyes and upper face were visible. No hair was visible, but she could make out the hair bumps under the caps. The eyes were more rounded than normal human eyes, and seemed emotionless. All three men wore a tunic with a gray colored edging, long gloves that went to the elbows and very long aprons that fell as far as their ankles. Thick-soled boots covered their feet. Every piece of clothing was light blue in color. Throughout the episode none of the man spoke or made any other noise. They looked at each other frequently, and nodded occasionally. Furthermore they did not appear to breathe, making no respiratory noises. During the examination none of the three beings touched Gabriella. The man at the bottom of the bed took a number of gray colored instruments, which he used one by one. A small knife like implement was used to take a nail paring from her right hand index finger. A blood sample was taken with a small plastic looking bottle with tubes and wires attached. Her blanket was removed and a thin pencil-like device was used to prod and probe her and a large black rubber suction device was used on the area around the groin. Soon the examiner placed another blanket over her, which provided badly needed warmth.

Noticing her frequent glances towards the now inactive “robot” the examiner now spoke to her in perfect English. The robot was a trained retriever device. It did all the manual work outside the ship. It brought specimens for examination and study. It was merely a non-thinking intelligence that was programmed to do certain tasks. The examiner spoke in a deep male voice, although Gabriella could not see his mouth move beneath the mask. His eyes never blinked, not even once. His movements appeared practiced, deliberate and precise. When he completed his task, all three men left the room together. After several minutes Gabriella caught sight of the robot again. A flashing purple colored light was coming from it. It did not move but remained by the wall.

Soon one of the men came into view from behind her and walked to the far end of the table. He lifted the end of the blanket form the bottom and stared at her body. At this point she felt something awful was going to happen, and Gabriella struggled with her bonds but could not free herself. The being took a small pin and placed it on her thigh. Gabriella stopped struggling immediately. The device caused numbness in every part of her body apart from her head. The being climbed slowly on the bottom of the bed and slowly and without emotion raped her. She felt discomfort but no pain. Soon the three men came into the room and released her from the table. Gabriella looked down on the floor to see her clothes before passing out one more time that night. When she next regained consciousness Gabriella was standing, fully clothed, next to her car in the deserted country road. Distraught, she drove home.

Event 35056 (2B8ECFDB)

Date: 10/16/1973
Description: A woman was abducted from her home in Lehi, Utah as well as possibly three of her children and a neighbor boy, and given a medical examination on board a craft. Carrying a “machine” of some sort, three beings lifted the woman from a couch and carried her by the arms. Her next memory was of a big, bright room with lots of “lights and buttons” and glass tubes containing liquid. She observed four or five humanoids on the craft and at least two human like beings. The humanoids did not communicate with her, were coldly efficient, and made her feel like a guinea pig. They were 40-5 feet tall, with head coverings, no noses, long fish like mouths, orange hands (gloves?) with two or three big claws or fingers that opened “like a clasp.” They had large oval eyes that wrapped around the side of the head. The pupils were big, black, and round and move a lot. Their suits were a fluorescent 'silvery and blue," in contrast to the three beings that took her from her home who wore shiny, bright white uniforms. During the exam she was hooked up to a machine, probed with needles, given a blood pressure test and a gynecological exam. The beings were able to read her mind. One of the humans was bald, about 55, and talked with her and helped during the exam. They gave her a shot to make her forget, and then carried her out a door to be reunited with her children. The incident took between 45 minutes to an hour.

Event 35058 (0CDC2EC5)

Date: 10/17/1973
Location: USA, Loxley (Alabama)
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Clarence Ray Patterson (…) was only 50 km from his home in Pensacola, it was 10 pm. Suddenly, in his windshield, a few hundred meters away, he saw an enormous shining object appear, so big that he did not hesitate to compare it to a football field. The object stopped above his truck which was literally sucked into the UFO. In the heart of the craft, six beings of strange and incredible appearance approached and forced Patterson to get out of his vehicle. Round, with one eye, hands like crab claws, they were of small size, their heads barely reaching Patterson’s chest. They busied themselves around the man for more than 30 minutes (…) They moved around him with a slow, affected air. (…) Finally, they relaxed him on a road about 80 km from his home. The journey had covered 112 km. Completely broken, dazed, he drove to Pensacola where he stopped at the police station. There, he collapsed on a bench, crying hysterically. He told his adventure to Sergeant Lucien Mitchell. [vog: this author, decidedly, will have contributed enormously to the description of monstrous extraterrestrials, he had a very fertile imagination…]

Description: (Translated from French) Paul Brown reported to the police that a bright light had passed over his car with a whistling sound, just before he saw an object shaped like a cone land about 100 m in front of him. He stopped, surprised. When small creatures emerged from the object, he put his hand on the revolver in the glove compartment and crouched behind the open door, ready to shoot them. The creatures did not advance, they returned to their craft which quickly departed while Brown claimed to have fired some shots without hitting the flying object.

On a gravel road, he sees a 5-and-a-half-foot-tall, silver-suited figure in his headlights. He stops, gets out, and talks to the figure, all the while taking Polaroid photos of it. It steps towards him and Greenhaw turns on the red rotating police car light. The figure runs away and although Greenhaw pursues it in his car, it eludes him. The photos quickly become a national news story. NICAP investigator Marion Webb and others strongly suspect this is a hoax.

Event 35100 (1D4B9C3B)

Date: 10/17/1973
Description: There are 113 cases recorded in the UFOCAT database of UFO reports and close encounters on this day and night. There was one from Sweden and two from England, and the rest were from the United States. The common perception was that the UFO wave was concentrated in the South and the Midwestern States, but there were 10 reports from California including six close encounters. The state with the most reports was Tennessee, with 16, followed by Ohio, with 15. Robert Gribble’s UFO Reporting Center in Seattle, Washington received many reports, including a landing report with traces in Uniontown, Ohio at 7 p.m. and a vehicle interference CE-II report from Midland, Ohio at 8:30 p.m. At 7 p.m. CDT a car was also pursued south of Memphis, Tennessee by a metallic UFO emitting a beam of light. There were also aircraft UFO close encounters over Anaheim, California at 2 p.m.; Shreveport, Louisiana on this evening; and Johnson City, Tennessee at 9 p.m.

Event 35105 (0E262E9D)

Date: 10/17/1973
Description: On this evening a silver colored, oval-shaped object landed on US Route 29 near Danielsville, Georgia about 300 feet ahead of Paul Brown’s car, forcing him to make an immediate stop. Two small 4 1/2 foot tall beings clad in silver suits and white gloves appeared underneath the UFO. They had reddish faces and white hair. When Mr. Brown stepped halfway out of his car with a gun in his hand the beings turned and re-entered the craft, which took off with a whooshing sound. Brown fired several shots at it with no apparent effect.

Event 35106 (A306C339)

Date: 10/17/1973
Description: A 50 foot wide UFO hovered two to three feet above Highway 82 near Eupora, Mississippi at twilight, seemingly suspended on a “beam of light.” The primary witness’s car lights and engine died when it was 100 yards from the craft. Another car stopped just behind him. A second UFO hovered about 60 feet above the first, illuminating it with a light. Both craft were similar in appearance, like inverted cups, and had greenish blue flashing lights. A catfish like creature came out from the top of the lower UFO, holding onto a handrail. It had gray, fish-like skin, a wide mouth, one glowing eye, flipper like feet and webbing between its legs like a “flying squirrel.” It had feather like objects on its back, which opened and closed when it moved.

Date: 10/17/1973
Description: Two men were driving on Route 23 toward New York City from work when they saw a large, round, silver craft hovering over a field near Wayne, New Jersey.

The other man stayed behind and conversed with seven human-like beings, four men and three women, who got out of the UFO.

Event 35108 (172E36E5)

Date: 10/17/1973
Description: Later this same night Police Chief Jeff Greenhaw of Falkville, Alabama photographed a 5 1/2 foot tall being in a crinkly looking silvery suit after investigating a reported UFO landing. The Chief stopped his car in the road and the thing moved slowly like a robot toward the car. When 10 feet away it turned and began running. The Chief pursued it in his patrol car, but the being accelerated and disappeared when the car spun off the road. “He was running in a very odd manner, from side to side, arms down to his sides, and it looked as if he had springs under his feet to propel him. He could take 10 feet in one leap.” The photo is regarded by some UFO investigators as a hoax, as showing a man wrapped in aluminum foil.

Date: 10/17/1973
Description: Late on this night Clarence Patterson said he and his pickup truck were sucked up into a huge cigar-shaped object with a green light near Loxley, Alabama. He was pulled out of the truck by six robot-like beings that seemed to read his mind. The next thing he remembered he was back on the highway going about 90 mph in the truck. He may have been onboard for up to 30 minutes. A sulphur-like smell was noted during the encounter.

Date: 10/18/1973
Location: Mansfield, OH
Description: Capt. Lawrence Coyne, while flying an Army helicopter with three other crewmen were 45 minutes out over Mansfield when Staff Sgt. Robert Yanacsek spotted a red glowing UFO headed toward their helicopter at an estimated 600 mph. It stopped abruptly 500 ft. above them. It had a big, gray, metallic looking hull about 60 ft. long, shaped like an airfoil or streamlined cigar with a red light in front and a green light in the rear, the lead edge glowed red a short distance from the nose. There was a center dome. The ‘copter radio wouldn’t function and the copter was set for a 20 degree dive but gained altitude from 1700 ft. to 3500 ft. with no power applied. After a slight “bounce” the UFO took off to the N.E.

Event 35111 (32D28230)

Date: 10/18/1973
Location: USA, Mansfield
Description: (Translated from French) A red light seemed to be escorting an Army Reserve helicopter, piloted by Captain Coyne, then quickly approached it. The pilot descended to the ground to avoid collision, while the cigar-shaped object flew over it and illuminated it with a green light. During this time, the onboard radio was silent. Then the UFO moved away and Coyne realized that his aircraft had inexplicably risen 700 meters.

Event 35141 (5F4BE594)

Date: 10/18/1973
Locations: Columbus; Cleveland; Ohio; Mansfield; Akron
Description: 11:00 p.m. Army Reserve Capt. Lawrence J. Coyne (with his crew 1st Lt. Arrigo Jezzi, Sgt. John Healey, and Spec5 Robert Yanacsek) is flying an Army Reserve UH-1 Huey helicopter at 1,200 feet from Columbus to Cleveland, Ohio. Healey notices a steady, southbound red light. It looks like the port-wing light of an aircraft but seems brighter and carries none of the other FAA-required lights. He watches it disappear behind the helicopter and doesn’t tell the others. A couple minutes later, Yanacsek sees a bright red light on the eastern horizon and watches it for 90 seconds, realizing it is pacing the helicopter. He mentions it to Coyne, who tells Healey to watch it. Soon the light turns and comes towards the helicopter. Coyne takes the controls from Jezzi and puts the helicopter into a descent. He calls Mansfield (Ohio) Approach Control but fails to get a response. The red light is now closing on them at a dangerous rate of speed, possibly 684 mph. Coyne pushes the stick down, forcing the helicopter to descend quickly. When he gets to an altitude of 650 feet above the treetops, Coyne looks up and sees the object covering the entire front windshield. The red light is on its nose and a white light is on the tail of this cigar-shaped, metallic structure. Under the tail, a green beam sweeps a 90° arc and shines through the windshield. It hovers above them for 10–12 seconds before accelerating and heading northwest. The bright white light just snaps out. Coyne looks at the altimeter and realizes they have been ascending and are now at 3,500 feet, but the stick is still down. He pulls the stick up and the helicopter levels out at 3,800 feet. Reviewing his instruments, Coyne notices that the magnetic compass is rotating slowly, while the Radio Magnetic Indicator is functioning normally. They make radio contact with Akron and fly on to Cleveland without further incident. Other witnesses on the ground have seen the incident.

Event 35145 (2AB4C3E1)

Date: 10/19/1973
Location: USA, Huntsville
Description: (Translated from French) Driving alone on the road from Huntsville to Tifton around 3:30 PM, a businesswoman encountered the unusual. Suddenly the engine and all the car’s systems failed and she felt a strange sensation rising in her. Looking to the left, “the being” was there, against the door. She dared not look straight at him and did not want to believe that this apparition was real. Standing 120 cm tall, it seemed entirely clad in a metal resembling tin. In place of the head, a dome of the same material the size of a motorcycle helmet, pierced with two rectangular slits at eye level. After 5 or 6 minutes, the being moved from left to right, then back around the car. The walk was normal but the head turned mechanically. The witness did not see the bottom of the being’s body: she only saw him up to the waist. When the creature had disappeared, as she saw no one around, she decided to open the hood to attract the attention of passing motorists: when she lifted the hood, smoke came out even though there was no fire. An hour and a half later, a police car finally stopped near her. When the tow truck came, the hood was almost at the point of fusion, the metal was soft but the paint was not affected. It took 3 hours before they could touch the heated engine.

Event 35146 (A3CE152F)

Date: 10/19/1973
Description: (Translated from French) G.D. and his friend ride a motorcycle to the place called Le Malmont north of Draguignan (Var). When they reach the top, they see an orange light in the sky moving slowly. The young girl gets scared and the couple goes back down to the city. The young man meets a friend who is interested in the UFO phenomenon. He talks to him about it and a small group of 4 enthusiasts go to the place in two cars. When they reach the top, they see a white light in the vegetation 100 m away and then the orientation table starts to overheat. The sound of broken branches attracts them and they see a red light approaching. It comes from a large reddish silhouette going down the path. A modulated whistle is heard. One of the cars is then violently shaken. Panic ensues. Everyone rushes into the vehicles and starts the engines, they then see 3 large helmeted silhouettes before going down the path at full speed. They will see red legs crossing the road before reaching the city below. (October 19, 1973, 8:40 PM)

He told the department a creature got out that had silvery skin, crab-like claws, antennas, and looked into his living room window with “scary eyes.” The sheriff’s department quotes him as saying the creature got back into the saucer-shaped object and flew off. It notes that during the same time there were other reports.

Event 35168 (648A6352)

Date: 10/19/1973
Description: On this evening in Draguignan, France four youths in two cars drove up a small mountain called Le Malmont to investigate the sighting of an orangish yellow UFO seen earlier in the day by a friend and his girlfriend. No UFO was seen, but a being was seen approaching the group silhouetted by a diffuse white glow. Later two of the witnesses saw three entities chasing their car. The entities were wearing one-piece suits with red lights at the waist level. They wore square helmets with luminous, rectangular eye slots. One of the beings wore something resembling a gas mask with a veil covering the face. Their gait was slow and mechanical. Meanwhile, the two witnesses in the other car twice saw two sets of “red legs” cross the road. A short while later their car was swung sideways across the road and then back again by some unseen force. Other effects included EM interference with the engines of both cars, a sensation of heat, an odor like burnt insulating tape, and one of the cars was shaken while parked. The beings made modulated whistling sounds. A powerful white light beam was also seen. No physical traces were found at any of the sites.

Event 35170 (327346B9)

Date: 10/19/1973
Description: A woman was alone traveling by car in Iowa when she noticed a bright light over the next approaching hill. She dimmed her lights and when she crested the hill she noticed a landed disc-shaped object in a nearby cornfield. She slowed her vehicle and saw that the UFO had a slight dome on top and was glowing with a blue light. She called her husband on her CB radio and described the object but soon static made it impossible to communicate by radio. She stopped the vehicle and the next thing she remembered was watching the object take off at high speed. Later under hypnosis the witness remembered seeing five figures standing around her car looking at her. They were about five feet tall with pasty white faces and huge elongated eyes. They had two holes for a nose and slit like mouths. Moments later she found herself inside the object where she saw walls, lots of machinery, and also a very bright light. She next found herself in a room with several monitor-like screens and two humanoids standing near her. These creatures seemed to have claw-like hands. One of the beings was described as more human looking, a female with long hair, a skirt, and a band around her head. The male beings wore one-piece silver metallic jump suits, with gloves, boots, and belts across the chest area. She remembers lying on a table and being forced to remove her clothing. After a physical examination she is led outside by two of the beings and floated to her vehicle.

No UFO was seen, but a small, metallic man appeared after she had pulled her car to the side of the road. The being had a bubble-dome head or helment with rectangular eye openings. The head moved like a robot’s. From the elbows down the arms were narrow and wrinkled, like a chicken’s legs. It moved around the car, then was gone. Afterwards she found the engine billowing smoke and the hood intensely hot.

Description: 6:50 a.m. A conductor on a Louisville & Nashville Railroad train moving northeast out of Mount Vernon, Indiana, sees a bright white light coming out of the north and heading east. When they reach Caborn, Indiana, he notifies the rear conductors, who can now see a bright light (possibly another train) behind them. The train’s automatic blocking system is showing a red light, indicating there is a train to the rear. When the train reaches Belknap, the engine stops because a rear diesel unit has apparently overheated. The yardmaster in Evansville informs them that there never was any train behind them. The conductor hits a reset button and the train starts with no trouble. The light in the rear seems to be moving away, and the blocking system turns to an amber signal.

She turned up four days later at a police station, and reported that she had been driving along a deserted highway when her vehicle’s engine sputtered and died at around ten p.m. She stepped out to check on it and was suddenly grabbed from behind by three creatures. She described them as wearing white face masks, or having white faces like molded plastic masks. Their eyes were large and set close to the sides of the head, and they had three-fingered, claw-like hands. They all wore metallic blue coveralls with a white stripe down the side. She was floated onboard a domed, disc- shaped object that was sitting on a nearby field. She was forced into a room, stripped, and then strapped to a table. Then she was given an extensive medical exam in which several needles were inserted into her body. She was left briefly alone in the brightly lit room, and then strapped to a chair. There several electrode-like devices were attached to her body and the creatures interrogated her at length. She was later given water and some food, which she did not eat, and released on a lonely stretch of road.

Event 35192 (EC66C0FF)

Date: 10/20/1973
Description: A 48-year-old homemaker in Gerena, Sevilla province, Spain was in her kitchen washing dishes at 11:15 p.m. when she saw her patio suddenly light up. She next saw an oval-shaped object descend and emit a loud grinding noise. On each end of the object there was a bright red square, while the object’s central section appeared transparent. She saw two dark figures inside the UFO. The object descended very close to the ground, emitting a loud sound, and then then shot upwards while increasing in luminescence.

Event 35193 (A4C77283)

Date: 10/20/1973
Description: Late at night nine campers, a group of students led by three adults, had gone to El Yunque Mountain Park in Puerto Rico hoping to “contact” UFOs and their occupants. They made camp high up on a mountain trail. Mr. Heriberto Ramos, the group’s leader, said that at one point during their ascent they met three persons heading down the trail. There was nothing “alien” about the trio aside from the fact that they all dressed exactly alike and had similar features. One of the group members, who had stayed behind, took a photo of the three mysterious walkers, but only a patch of mist appeared on the developed film.

Later that night the campers found themselves surrounded by five or six vaguely humanoid figures who darted about the thick vegetation. They had claw-like hands and elongated ears. Some of these “monsters” blocked the precipice flanked trail that constituted the only way down from the mountain. Mr. Ramos tried walking cautiously toward pne being, hoping to show that his intentions were amicable. He got to within ten feet from the creature, and was able to describe it as having a triangular head and “extraordinary” eyes. He even he managed to touch the strange being, which did not stir. Its skin felt neither cold nor rubbery. Almost simultaneously, one of his students lit a large, powerful flashlight flooding the area with light. The clawed creature reacted by racing away from the scene, literally tearing a path right through the dense vegetation.

The path led to a 100 foot drop, giving Ramos the impression that they had frightened the being into jumping. But to his amazement it reappeared instantly at the side of its companions, who were still blocking the downhill path. From then until the sky began to lighten the besieged campers were watched by the beings, who remained in constant motion around them. Terror had led one of the students to bang himself repeatedly on the head with a flashlight, hoping to escape the situation by passing out. Seized by an inexplicable urge, another camper expressed a desire to take a walk in the woods. Fearing for his mental state, one of his companions offered to walk with him. Before they’d taken more than a dozen steps, they found what could only be described as a glimmering, polychromatic “egg” lying on the ground. While entranced by the curious flashing object, neither one felt brave enough to touch it.

Later that night they saw it in the claws of one of the alien creatures. At sunrise the campers made a mad dash for their cars that were parked at the bottom of the mountain. No trace of the aliens remained aside from their footprints, which were much larger than a human’s and appeared to have been made by heavy creatures. The campers made plaster casts of the prints and photographed them. These materials were stolen by unknown parties some months after the incident.

Locations: Cincinnati, Ohio; West Side
Description: 2:30 a.m. Reafa Heitfeld wakes up in her trailer on the west side of Cincinnati, Ohio, and notices a bright light shining outside. The source is a row of six lights forming an arc outside her window, as well as another bright light over the parking lot. Outside the second light she can see a gray “apelike creature” that seems to be fixing something. In the process of calling the police, she hears a loud, deep, booming sound, and the object and creature are gone. Investigator Leonard Stringfield finds that a fire alarm had gone off at the same time in a nearby warehouse only 150 feet away, although firemen can locate nothing that set it off.

Event 35200 (A41EE478)

Date: 10/21/1973
Description: At 2:30 a.m. Mrs. Heitfeld, a resident of the Cincinnati suburb of Covedale, Ohio awoke with a terrible thirst. A bright light outside her house then attracted her. She drew the curtains and saw a line of lights forming an arc. Each light was as large as an open hand. There were six of them, separated from one another by 120 cm. She also observed another light hovering above a nearby parking lot. Inside this light she observed a gray “ape like” creature. She woke her 13-year-old son who also saw the creature. The being was completely surrounded by a bell-jar shaped area of light. No facial features could be discerned, but the witness could see a snout like feature on the face. Its body was uniformly gray, and it was moving its arms in the sort of jerky way a robot would. Ground traces from the UFO were later found.

Event 35201 (8AA00BAD)

Date: 10/22/1973
Location: USA, Hartford City (Indiana)
Description: (Translated from French) Gary Flatter had just accompanied his friend, police officer Ed Townsend, to Hartford City where a motorist had reported the presence of two strange creatures on the highway. When Flatter and Townsend arrived, they saw nothing out of the ordinary. Ed Townsend then left for other duties while Gary Flatter decided to stay a bit longer. Suddenly, a whole menagerie rushed past his stopped vehicle: he counted 7 hares, a raccoon, an opossum, and several cats. At the same time, he heard a kind of sharp whistle. Looking more closely, Flatter saw two creatures staring at him, dressed in silver suits, on the opposite side of the road. They measured about 1 m 20, had an egg-shaped head covered by something like a gas mask. Flatter turned on the headlights. Far from being bothered by the light, the creatures began to put on a kind of show: they jumped to a remarkable height, and to come down they floated, and so on. Finally, they flew away leaving a kind of faint red trail.

She collects a sample and puts it in the refrigerator, but the substance still dissipates into strong white threads. The University of Massachusetts field station examines a sample. It is not spider web, but there is not enough of it for a chemical analysis. X-ray fluorescence and diffraction analysis indicates sodium, aluminum, silicon, sulfur, chorine, potassium, calcium, iron, nickel. The substance is 95% organic. Two other analyses indicate slightly different composition.

Description: 9:45 p.m.–after midnight. Dewayne and Debbie Donathan are driving toward their home 9 miles east of Hartford City, Indiana, when they see two strange-looking figures 30 feet ahead of them on the road. Four feet tall, they are dressed in tight-fitting silver suits and wear boxlike shoes. They move in a clumsy fashion, their arms flopping oddly along their sides. Debbie accelerates and drives past the figures. The witnesses alert the sheriff’s office, and two officers and a civilian friend, Gary Flatter, investigate. They see no figures but hear an odd, high-frequency sound. Around midnight, Flatter hears the sound again south of the original encounter and notes wild animals leaving the area. His headlights pick up two 4-foot figures 20 feet off the side of the road. He can see a hose going from their egg-shaped helmets down to their chests. Three times they rise 3 feet into the air then float down. The fourth time, they fly away, still standing erectly.

Event 35218 (FBC40FBF)

Date: 10/22/1973
Description: The first in a series of three independent observations of two silver-suited, four foot tall humanoids occurred in Hartford City, Indiana on this night. While driving home Ms. Debbie Carne saw the creatures slowly cross the road in front of her. As she drove past them on the roadside they made a loud noise and raised their arms as if to scare her. About 15 minutes after the first encounter by Ms. Carne, Mr. & Mrs. Donathan approached the same area in a car and saw the same or a similar pair of beings on the road. They were described as wearing bright silver suits, straight in form and with no features noticed except box-like feet. The pair moved in a clumsy, flopping manner as they tried to get off the road ahead of the approaching car. Mr. Donathan described this as a dancing effect. A snake-like pattern of lights was seen dancing over the field. The next day imprints were found in the field where the beings had last been seen.

Description: Bonnie Collier observes two metallic cigar-shaped objects over Midway, Texas. She photographs one of them. About 20 minutes later, she notices monarch butterflies are getting entangled in “sheets of a web-like substance” falling to earth. She retrieves a grapefruit-sized sample from a mesquite tree and stores it in a box. Some 20 years later, the sample is analyzed by two engineering students at the University of Texas at Austin. A neutron activation survey indicates high concentrations of sodium, potassium, zinc, and lanthanum. Other tests indicate the sample is spider silk produced by a cribellate orb weaver spider.

Event 35252 (E7265700)

Date: 10/25/1973
Location: USA, Greensburg - Uniontown (Pennsylvania)
Description: (Translated from French) … American witnesses saw two giant (2.50m) humanoid creatures come out of a flying saucer and immediately start walking on all fours. They had gray fur and green eyes, shining in the darkness. (Jean FERGUSON: “Les Humanoïdes…” ed. Leméac, Ottawa, 1977, p 127 and p.187, 188, the only author who dates it to October 27) … The trio walked up the hill; the object was landed. It was bright white, could have been 30 meters in diameter and made a lawnmower noise. In the light of the craft, they saw two tall beings, like monkeys, with shining eyes. They emitted shrill sounds and an odor of “burnt rubber” filled the air. One of the young men was scared and ran away. The man with the rifle fired several shots above the heads of the creatures, without stopping them. Then he fired three shots, this time at one of them. A moan rose up, then the one who had been hit raised his arm and both of them disappeared into the woods. The UFO disappeared. (Leonard STRINGFIELD: “Alerte générale OVNI”, ed. France – Empire, 1978, p. 91 to 93 which dates it to October 25) Around 9 pm, the young farmer Stephen Pulaski, according to the report published in the Flying Saucer Review, and at least 15 other witnesses saw a red glowing ball hovering over a nearby field. Stephen took his 30.06 rifle, and with two boys about ten years old each, sons of neighbors, drove to the thing to see what it was. The headlights of Stephen’s car dimmed when they arrived near the object, and when the object descended to the ground, Stephen’s German shepherd, left at the farm, became like crazy.

Event 35262 (157F6B92)

Date: 10/25/1973
Locations: Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt; Murat Road; North West Cape; Exmouth, Western Australia
Description: 7:15 p.m. Lt. Commander Moyer is traveling south from Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt, a restricted US National Security Agency station along Murat Road on North West Cape, north of Exmouth, Western Australia, when he sees a large, black object in the sky 5 miles to his west at an altitude of 2,000 feet. After about 20–25 seconds, the object accelerates at speed to the north. It is first seen at about 20° elevation, to the west. Moore estimates its angular size as half a degree. It is initially stationary and there is no associated noise at any point, no trail or exhaust. It is last seen at 45°–50° elevation. At about 7:20 p.m., William Gordon Lynn, an Australian civilian and US Navy employee fire captain, notices a large, stationary, black object in the clear sky. It has a halo around the center, which appears to be either revolving or pulsating. He watches it for an estimated four minutes, after which it takes off speedily in a northerly direction and disappears after a few seconds. He thinks it is about 30 feet in diameter and hovering at 1,000 feet over the hills west of the base. On this same date, the base is communicating a DEFCON III alert to conventional and nuclear forces in the region during the Yom Kippur War (an NSA misreading of a Syrian message to the USSR had indicated a Soviet build-up).

Event 35263 (041266B6)

Date: 10/25/1973
Location: Uniontown, Pennsylvania
Description: 9:00 p.m. A 22-year-old man and two 10-year-old boys allegedly see a bright-white, dome-shaped UFO about 100 feet in diameter land in a field near Uniontown, Pennsylvania. “Screaming sounds” emanate from somewhere nearby. The UFO makes a lawnmower-like sound. Suddenly they see two large apelike creatures with glowing green eyes walking along a fence, one in front of the other. The older witness fires a tracer slug with his rifle over the creatures’ heads, but they continue moving forward, seemingly communicating by making whining sounds. The tall and closer of the two, about 8 feet tall, is running its left hand along the fence, while the smaller one is struggling to keep up. The older witness fires three bullets into the larger creature’s chest. It whines and reaches toward the smaller creature. The UFO vanishes and the lawnmower sound ceases. The area where the UFO had been is now glowing brilliant white. The hairy creatures head toward the woods. A policeman arrives at 9:45 p.m. and finds the landing spot still glowing slightly. They hear something moving in the woods nearby and smell a sulfur-like odor. The officer and the witness panic and jump into the police car and drive about 150 feet. Stan Gordon shows up at 1:30 a.m. with four members of his Westmoreland County UFO Study Group. In the company of the witness and his father, they walk around the field until the witness undergoes a violent emotional attack, during which he growls like an animal and throws his father and an investigator to the ground. During his attack, he has an apocalyptic vision in which he receives a dire warning from a man in a black hat and cloak. The older witness undergoes hypnosis with psychologist Berthold Eric Schwarz, who says he has visions about the impending end of the world and after the event he “felt like an animal.”

Event 35264 (397816AC)

Date: 10/25/1973
Description: At around nine p.m. 15 people observed a very large red spherical object hovering low in the sky near Uniontown, Pennsylvania which began to descend towards a pasture. The incident began when the principal witness and two boys proceeded up a hill in a field and observed a white, dome-shaped craft on the ground that illuminated the area. It was making a loud whirring sound. It was estimated to be about 100 feet in diameter. They stood about 250 feet from the object, and about 75 feet from a fence line.

Walking along the fence line were two tall figures, from seven to nine feet tall, covered with hair, and with long arms hanging down past the knees. They displayed glowing green eyes. The witnesses shot at the creatures, first tracer bullets were shot over their heads, and then regular bullets was used. The larger of the two creatures turned towards the other almost touching it, and at the same time the object in the field disappeared and the sound stopped. The creatures slowly walked towards the woods. One boy had already run home, and the other two left the field and went to a neighbor’s farmhouse and called the state police. When the state trooper arrived he and the main witness went to the site. Where the object had landed there was a glowing area that was about 150 feet in diameter. He said he could read a newspaper from the light. The farm animals refused to go into the area. One witness reported that before they left the field the larger of the two creatures was seen in the woods about 10 feet from them. He shot at it and it struck the fence that stood between them. Later that night an investigation team arrived in the area. Radiation levels were normal and the glow was now gone, but the animals still wouldn’t go near the spot. Strange events now began to take place.

Some in the party saw a farmhouse several hundred feet away suddenly light up like daylight for several seconds. The main witness, a rather large man, suddenly began growling, and he threw his father and investigator George Lutz to the ground. The man ran into the field growling and screaming near inhuman screams. His own dog approached him as to attack, then ran off whimpering. He then collapsed onto the ground. Two of the investigating team started to complain they were having trouble breathing, and the air became filled with a strong odor like rotten eggs. As the main witness came out of what appeared to be a trance-like state, he began talking about visions he had seen of the end of the world.

Event 35265 (1A771AB8)

Date: 10/25/1973
Description: On this night Brian Scott saw an object with blinking lights on the bottom surrounded by haze. He drove to his home in Buena Park, California to get someone else to see it and returned with the teenage babysitter of his children. Both witnesses felt as if their minds had somehow been lifted up to the craft, bathed in green light, and returned. Scott saw short humanoids, but felt that this vague encounter was unplanned, and with different humanoids than in his earlier experiences. A period of an hour and a half could not be accounted for.

Event 35282 (C7B2F8DB)

Date: 10/28/1973
Location: ARGENTINA, Bahia Blanca
Description: (Translated from French) Very early in the morning, the truck driven by Dionisio Llanca had a flat tire. He therefore stopped outside the road, in a secluded place and began to busy himself to change the wheel. He had seen small lights in the distance, but had not paid attention to them until they approached and were of a bright blue. Trying to see what the object carrying this strange light was, he found himself paralyzed and could not move. He could however see how a dome-shaped disc descended, hovering just above the ground, next to the truck.

On the ground, near the vehicle, there were three humanoid entities: two men and one woman. They had long blond hair and almond-shaped eyes, wore silver one-piece suits, boots, but their head was free of helmets, they were not armed. The entities spoke among themselves, then one of them lifted Llanca by the collar of his sweater. Llanca was in the utmost terror, but the man adjusted a small black box around the index finger of his left hand and instantly Llanca became relaxed. In a few moments he lost consciousness. He woke up the next day, lying on the road. He told his story. Despite the use of hypnotherapy and truth serum, Llanco could not even remember a shred of what had happened to him after he lost consciousness. He could only say that the extraterrestrials had made contact with the earth in 1950 and were studying how the earthly man could live on this planet. He could describe the interior of the spacecraft, saying that one did not enter it either by a ramp or by stairs, but by a beam of light. He also said that the entities did not want him to remember anything else. (DON ELKINS with CARLA RUECKERT, CASE NUMBER 7, Investigator: Liria D. Jauregui, APRO Investigator) They spoke among themselves in a kind of language without vowels. The sound emitted made me think of a badly tuned radio. One of these beings took me by the collar of the jacket and forced me to stand up. I wanted to speak but I had no voice. The other placed a device on the index finger of my left hand, they applied it to me for a few seconds, I felt nothing. When removing it I saw two drops of blood on my finger. It was at this moment that I must have fainted, I do not remember the rest …" (1973, 28 October)

Locations: Highway 3; Bahía Blanca, Argentina
Description: 1:15 a.m. Truck driver Dionisio Llanca is changing a tire along Highway 3 some 11 miles from Bahía Blanca, Argentina, when a UFO lands and three humanlike beings, two men and a woman, approach him. Nearly paralyzed by the light from the UFO, Llanca lets one of the beings take a blood sample and later remembers going on board the craft, whose occupants warn him that humans are headed towards disaster. He loses consciousness and wakes up in a railyard 5.5 miles away, then finds himself in a hospital. However, Argentine UFO investigators find major discrepancies and consider Llanca’s story an invention devised to make some money.

Event 35289 (6537977E)

Date: 10/28/1973
Location: Bad Traunstein, Austria
Description: 11:30 p.m. Karl Fichtinger watches an odd orange-yellow light to the south of Bad Traunstein, Austria, that projects two beams of light that creep slowly upward like a pair of snail feelers. After moving up a short distance, they begin curving outward. After 7–10 seconds when they reach a certain height they stop moving, the two tips turn green for 2–3 seconds, a green mist falls down sideways, and the beams disappear. After 2–5 seconds the process repeats again and again. Around 12:30 a.m. he wakes his friend Johann Pritz in another house and they continue to watch the display for several hours. At 2:00 a.m. the light emits a red “missile” that moves east, stops, turns yellow-orange, and produces a similar pattern of signals. Then they notice a third object in the west that looks more like a dark domed disc, and it is also sending thin feelers up light upward. Three more smaller lights join the one in the east. At 3:30 a.m., the missile in the east stops and takes off to the south but the others remain. The witnesses go home at 4:30, and all the objects are gone by 6:00 a.m. They estimate that the first object has given off 1,200 signals, the domed disc some 550, and the missile a minimum of 360.

Event 35290 (DBFB9494)

Date: 10/28/1973
Description: Dionisio Llanca, age 25, was changing a tire along a deserted road at 1:15 a.m. near Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina when he became aware of a yellow and blue light behind him, and three human-like beings. He then began to feel weak and barely able to move. One of the beings approached and pulled him to his feet, and a second one drew a blood sample from his finger with a device that looked like an electric shaver. Afterward, the witness lost consciousness and suffered trauma to his head and forehead. Under hypnosis and sodium pentothal Llanca recalled being transported onto a hovering, plate-shaped craft via a beam of light. He saw a room with a window and various instruments, including a screen showing a display of the stars. His abductors were two men and two women, between 5 ft. 6 in. and 5 ft. 8 in. (about 1.7m) tall. They had blond hair, wide foreheads, and elongated eyes. They were dressed in gray, tight-fighting uniforms, yellow footwear, and gloves. The beings spoke among themselves in a “squeaky” language, resembling the sound of buzzing bees. A technical device communicated with him in Spanish, or by telepathy, to reassure him and tell him that they had been coming to Earth since 1950. They told him he was chosen for contact because he was simple and good. They warned that the current course of mankind would lead to catastrophe. Later, they said, they would come back and take him with them. Llanca regained consciousness between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., some 10 km (6 miles) from where his truck was. He wandered around with no memory of his own identity until a passerby took him to a hospital, where he remained for several days.

Llanca had nightmares and severe anxiety for a prolonged period, followed by personality change. He changed jobs frequently and finally stopping working altogether, became engaged to be married and then cut off all contact with his fiancee. His parents rejected him, and he subsequently was sentenced to prison for swindling. Afterwards, there were rumors that he had fabricated the story to sell a book, and that the doctors were a party to the hoax (which seems highly unlikely).

Event 35291 (DFEB4BAF)

Date: 10/28/1973
Description: In the early morning hours Ms. Proctor went to the window in her home in Reno, Nevada and saw three “very large,” saucer-shaped objects hovering across the street. A “ground crew” of 10-12 figures, wearing dully glowing “cube type” uniforms, were milling around, as if searching for something. A very low-pitched hum was heard, but no barking by the witness’s dog, or others in the neighborhood. When two of the men approached her driveway, the witness took alarm and returned to bed, where she fell asleep immediately. There was no confirmation of anything unusual from any of her neighbors, and no traces were found.

Event 35298 (5F85EAC6)

Date: 10/29/1973
Description: At 5:20 p.m. Carlos Argue Balvidares, age 43, the manager of a country estate located 25 kilometers northeast of General Pinto, in Buenos Aires province, Argentina was drinking tea when his 13-year-old son Manuel called his attention to the presence of three people floating in the air over the surface of a pond 100 yards away. Balvidares went to the pond and called out to them. They “disappeared immediately, only to return to show themselves at the opposite shore of the pond, 300 yards away.”

(Continued.) There were two men and a woman. The woman was about 5’ 3" tall and had long black hair, black clothing, and white boots. The two men were both of the same height and somewhat shorter. The men appeared to be naked and of a “sunburned” color; they may have been wearing tight fitting one-piece suits. They were blond, and their hair appeared “glued on.” All three had white complexions, wide foreheads, and small noses. They floated about with their arms held close to their bodies.

(Continued) On the far side of the pond rested a luminous rectangular object approximately 35 feet in diameter and 7-10 feet high. It emitted a beam of light 15 inches in diameter that struck Balvidares. He felt dazzled and he could feel heat from it. Balvidares took his horse and rode to the pond, but when he had got halfway there he encountered an “invisible barrier” and could not proceed. Meanwhile the beings continued to maneuver over the surface of the pond, communicating by “a kind of shriek, like the sound made by a radio which is poorly tuned.”

After an hour and a half Balvidares again mounted his horse to ride around the pond, but this time the beings returned to the UFO. The images of the men changed in color to dark green and orange" as they approached the craft. Then the witness smelled “an odor of sulphur” and became drowsy for a few moments. When he recovered the UFO and its entities had gone. On later investigation many triangular footprints four to five inches long, showing four claw marks at the front of the triangle, were found in the vicinity of the UFO’s resting place. The object itself left four triangular impressions 15 inches on a side, arranged in a square 13 feet on a side. The horse “exhibited nervousness” after the event, and its hair began to fall out.

Event 35331 (D752E680)

Date: 11/2/1973
Locations: Manchester, New Hampshire; Goffstown; Westlawn Cemetery; Beaudoin’s house
Description: 2:45 a.m. Lyndia Morel, a masseuse in Manchester, New Hampshire, leaves work and begins driving on State Highway 114 to her home in nearby Goffstown. On the outskirts of Manchester, she sees an odd light in the sky that is flashing different colors. The light vanishes when she reaches Goffstown, but it reappears twice more, seemingly brighter and closer. She sees that it is an orange-and-gold globe covered with hexagons like a honeycomb, with an oval window on the upper left. The red, green, and blue flashes come from somewhere near the center of the object, and she hears a high-pitched sound. Suddenly she is unable to remove her hands from the steering wheel. She feels that the object is taking control of her and the car and pulling them in. Her car speeds up against her will as she passes Westlawn Cemetery. The object is now only a few hundred feet away, and through a window she sees a smallish humanoid figure standing behind a console. The figure has a round, grayish head, a wrinkled face, a downturned slit of a mouth, and two large eyes with dark pupils. She feels that he is sending her a telepathic message to be unafraid. Somehow, she slows the car and turns into the driveway of a house just past the cemetery. She jumps out and runs to the kitchen door of the house, ignoring a German shepherd dog that growls and barks at her. She pounds on the door and rings the bell and yells for help as the UFO moves to a position across the street, hovering and watching her, still emitting a high-pitched sound. The residents, Mr. and Mrs. Beaudoin, come to the door and find a terrified woman who is covering her ears and claiming that a UFO is after her. The Beaudoins cannot see or hear anything, but Mrs. Beaudoin calls the police. Investigator Walter N. Webb finds that the position of the UFO corresponds too closely to the planet Mars, at least in the later stage of the sighting, to rule that explanation out entirely.

Event 35334 (508CD784)

Date: 11/3/1973
Description: (Translated from French) In New Hampshire, the witness’s neighbor calls him to look through his telescope at a silver, saucer-shaped craft with 4 glowing red windows at one end, which he thinks is hovering over a radio tower 1 mile away. The witness eventually goes back home and goes to bed. Shortly after 0 h, the witness’s dog seems agitated and he gets up to let it out. Going into the kitchen, he distinguishes 1 light coming from outside. He looks out the door and sees that the light is a diffuse glow coming from 2 silver-clad creatures with large pointed ears, big noses, and dark egg-shaped eyes that look like holes. Their boots are heel-less, with the ends curved up. They are picking things up from the ground and gathering them in a bag. The witness goes to his room to alert his wife, who doesn’t want anything to do with it, takes a 0.38 caliber automatic pistol and returns to the kitchen, inserting more cartridges. On his master’s order, the raging German shepherd jumps into attack. Approaching the intruders, he stops in his tracks and returns whimpering into the house. The humanoids continue their collection. At this moment the witness trembles and can no longer hold his weapon, let alone use it effectively, but he shouts that he will shoot if the beings come any closer. At the same time, the man was telling his wife what was happening. She didn’t want to answer until she heard that the creatures were leaving. She then reached the kitchen, only seeing their glow disappear into the woods. At 0 h 30, the police called arrive. No trace is found on the hard ground, covered with pine cones. (7:30 PM)

Event 35344 (4FDCA1D1)

Date: 11/3/1973
Description: Sr. Rincon Castillo received telepathic messages to go to a certain isolated area near a lagoon, 150 kilometers south of Santa Fe de Bogota, Colombia; at 8:00 p.m. After arriving there he was then instructed to go to a clearing in the woods. There he was told he would find a metallic sphere, which he did. The sphere was small and covered with tiny holes. It suddenly started shooting bright beams of light in different directions. The whole area was next illuminated by a bright glow, and two huge, saucer-shaped objects appeared and flew directly overhead. Both were dripping water and were emitting a strong heat wave. They were silent and had three rotating white spheres on the bottom, and were emitting multicolored lights. The objects then descended out of sight and dimmed their lights. After that, two tall humanoid figures wearing uniforms and helmets with transparent visors approached Castillo from the woods and told him not to be afraid. The two figures took him to a nearby clearing, where a flying craft now appeared overhead, shooting down a beam of yellow light that surrounded both the witness and the humanoids. He was then transported inside the object where he saw two more tall, smiling entities. The beings removed their helmets; they had handsome human features, and shoulder length, blond hair. Some of the men wore tight fitting silvery outfits with orange boots and gloves, while others wore brown outfits. The witness was given information about upcoming Earth changing events, and was given an extensive tour onboard the craft.

Date: 11/4/1973
Location: USA, Goffstown (New Hampshire)
Description: (Translated from French) Rex Snow ordered his dog to attack the two silver-clad figures frolicking in his well-lit garden. The dog, a trained attack German shepherd, leapt forward towards the intruders. But when it got to within 10 meters of them, the creatures stopped their gamboling and stared fixedly at the dog. The animal stopped, growled, and with its tail between its legs, returned to the safety of the house. Snow had a .38 caliber pistol in his hands, but he was trembling so much he couldn’t use it against the strangers. Overcome with a visceral fear, he followed the dog back inside. He watched the creatures through the window: they seemed to be faintly luminous, had oversized ears, sunken dark orbits for eyes, and a very pointed nose. On their heads they wore a Ku Klux Klan-style hat, silver like their costume. (November 4, 1973)

Event 35359 (74480C45)

Date: 11/6/1973
Location: Freeport, New York
Description: 9:00 p.m. Off-duty patrolmen Gary Steinberg and Thomas Brown are sitting in an unmarked patrol car in Freeport, New York, facing east. They see a bright light in the sky that is not the helicopter they think it is at first. They watch it for 5–10 minutes before it moves away to the southeast. Steinberg tries to get closer in the patrol car, while Brown stays behind and directs him by radio. He gets to within 300–400 feet of it, as it is 700–800 feet in altitude. It now appears football-shaped and 100 feet long. He watches it for 10–15 minutes as it glows silvery blue with an occasional yellow-red pulsating tint. The object then moves off to the southwest, stopping occasionally. A smaller object comes up on his right and drifts up to the larger object and merges with it. The larger object dims in sections (about 16), one after the other, and it takes off to the southwest and disappears in a couple seconds.

Event 35411 (76DA5F39)

Date: 11/16/1973
Location: USA, Lemon Grove (Los Angeles)
Description: (Translated from French) The witnesses were two eleven-year-old boys (Richard Thiel and Danny Fleming). They were going to play in a vacant lot (around 7 pm) (…) when they discovered an object that was motionless. (…) They slowly approached it. Five minutes passed, then one of the boys started to tap the object three or four times with an electric torch. The object, described by the boys as a clear grey, immediately came to life. The taps made a metallic sound. At the top of the object, the dome began to shine with a red light (alternating). At the same time, the object rose to 1 meter - 1 meter 20. Around the perimeter of the object, green lights flashed successively. The object began to spin on itself, making a rather dull sound. (…) and the object rose into the air, still making the same sound. The boys started to run; they felt assaulted by shivers, tinglings, and were overcome by a great weakness. (November 16, 1973)

Date: 11/16/1973
Locations: Lemon Grove, California; La Posta Astro-Geophysical Observatory in Campo, California
Description: 7:00 p.m. Two 11-year old boys are outside in Lemon Grove, California, intending to play in a vacant lot or field in the neighborhood. When they arrive, there is a dark object hovering about 18 inches above the field. It seems inactive. One of the boys cautiously approaches and raps it with his flashlight, making a sound like metal on metal. Instantly, the object’s dome lights up in a brilliant red light that illuminates the entire area. It rises three or four more feet off the ground, and a row of green lights light up around its perimeter, flashing in sequence. The thing begins rotating and making a “woooo woooo woooo” sound. The object is easily visible now and appears as a domed disc. The dome is large and tall (about equal to half or more of the disc height) and glowing bright red, then flashing intermittent red. The boys are now frightened and start to run away as the object takes off toward the southwest. At the site are found three marks forming an equilateral triangle within an area of grass swirled in a counterclockwise pattern. A magnetometer at La Posta Astro-Geophysical Observatory in Campo, California, allegedly registers a perturbation at 7:20 p.m.

Event 35427 (0B85E2CA)

Date: 11/18/1973
Locations: Tracy, Quebec; Contrecoeur; St. Lawrence River; Montreal
Description: About 6:00 p.m. Four women are driving south from Tracy, Quebec, to Contrecoeur when they see a “watermelon-sized” ball of yellowish light suddenly appear above a pylon a quarter of a mile ahead of them. As they pass, it starts moving westward over the St. Lawrence River. The object seems to change shape as it flies, becoming alternately larger and smaller, dimming and growing in intensity. The light follows them as they weave in and out through wooded areas. Eventually the object is lost to sight as the women drive into Montreal. At one point they encounter a large volume of traffic that seems to be slowed by an odd pink cloud lying across the highway. They also see a small human figure standing in the middle of the road.

Event 35428 (B1F8675B)

Date: 11/18/1973
Description: On the previous evening Enrique Castillo of Fulanos de Tal, Colombia was again summoned telepathically to go to an isolated area for possible contact with “extraterrestrials.” Hours went by, when at around three o’clock in the morning numerous illuminated objects appeared, one of which detached itself from the rest and slowly approached him in a zigzag fashion. It performed an astonishing series of maneuvers before landing on three supports about 60 meters away. The other lights disappeared. This craft was quite different from the one he had previous encountered, of a rather peculiar shape. A metallic ladder emerged, leaving a narrow, illuminated opening from which a human shaped silhouette could be seen. Castillo started to approach the craft but a deep voice ordered him to stop, and then beckoned him to approach slowly. Soon a human looking alien named Cyril, whom he had met on a previous occasion, met him at the doorway. He invited Castillo to walk up the six steps of the ladder. When Castillo extended his hand to greet him, he stepped back and motioned him to stop between the last step and the door. A very bright blue flash of light shone briefly, bathing Castillo’s body. He understood that the blue light was part of a sterilization system.

On board were two other very different beings with “avocado-shaped heads”, dressed in one-piece, ample overalls. They smiled constantly. He went to greet them, but they just bowed without extending their hands. The little men were bald, with pale skin, seemingly completed coated with a film of oil. They were about 1.5 meters (4 feet) tall, well proportioned, with large normal eyes and normal ears, a large “Greek” nose, and prominent jaws. Cyril declared that these creatures came from Mercury. Castillo was incredulous because he knew there were immense temperatures contrasts on that planet. But he was told, “you would be astonished by the civilizations that have flourished there.” Via a spiral stairway Castillo was taken to the second level, which he found rather cramped. Cyril announced that the craft was on its way to the “mother ship.” One of the other beings took Castillo to a closet on the first floor and gestured to him to put on a uniform, which stretched to fit him perfectly.

A gigantic craft came into view. A hatch opened, from which came an intense light. Inside the mother ship Castillo was led through several passageways and in one area he noticed an emblem, in high relief, of a winged serpent holding what looked like an egg. Inside this object Castillo also encountered toilet facilities. In the hall Castillo claims to have encountered yet another thoroughly unbelievable being, a giant man no less than three meters tall. His features were remarkably similar to those of a common terrestrial. His skin was grayish, his hands hairy with normal fingers, shaped at the tips like spatulas. He was dressed in a dull gray uniform. At one point Castillo boarded a smaller craft accompanied by Cyril and the two smaller humanoids. It took them on a ride to different places apparently on earth. Later back aboard the mother ship Castillo claims to have seen a robot, with some human features, and for the first time, women who wore tight-fitting suits and had decidedly feminine features. “Their golden hair framed the most beautiful faces I had ever seen,” Castillo enthused. They were as tall as the men, perhaps 1.75 meters. Eventually Castillo was returned to an area not farm from Bogota, Columbia. He had been away for about 26 hours.

Event 35429 (ABC4E76A)

Date: 11/18/1973
Description: On this evening four girls between the ages of 14 and 24 years old were accompanied as they drove from Tracy, Quebec toward Montreal by a luminous white flying ball of light. It was perhaps the size of a watermelon. It sometimes flew ahead of them and sometimes behind them, at a considerable distance. They passed through a cloud of red dust that obscured their vision, and shortly after emerging from the cloud they had to swerve to avoid a little man wearing dark clothing and a lappet helmet, who was standing on the white line in the middle of the road. He appeared to be sweeping with push-broom. He was short in stature and they could not see his face. After passing the “sweeper” they saw a car and three dark clad people beside the road. There were several other UFO sightings in this part of Quebec the same evening.

Event 35434 (149B1F92)

Date: 11/19/1973
Description: A truck engine stalled in Sidrolandia, Brazil on this night in 1973. Farmer Joao Rodrigues Terra and his farmhand Djalma Da Silva Faques were driving to the farmer’s house when they observed a a bright orange oval-shaped object 12 meters in diameter emerge from a strange, low white cloud. It flew at only one meter above the ground and came to within 30 meters. It had a dome on top and bottom. The surface was shiny and metallic with a luminous fan-shaped beam directed from the top, upwards. The UFO continually changed colors. They had trouble starting their pickup truck, and then could only creep along as the UFO paced them only 30 meters away for the next ten minutes. Faques, the passenger, observed the UFO closely and could clearly see a small human figure inside. The truck functioned normally after the object sped away, but its new battery failed three days later and could not be recharged. (Sources: David Webb, 1973 -Year of the Humanoids, case 73-46D; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-76; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume 2: A Thirty Year Report, p. 255). On this night in 1975 in Oak Brook, Illinois, a boy saw a domed disc hovering near his home. The UFO had a red light on top and two clear lights on the side.

Event 35437 (6A387734)

Date: 11/21/1973
Location: CANADA, Joliette (Quebec)
Description: (Translated from French) In the night this woman was unable to sleep and went to the kitchen. Around 2 o’clock her attention was suddenly drawn to a white object that seemed to be floating on the other side of the window. She approached it and discovered something 4 feet tall: a humanoid being, with a round head and normal eyes. She saw neither nose nor mouth on the face. Around the head, or helmet that surrounded the head, there was a kind of halo or aureole of flames. She also saw some kind of laces around its neck. The shoulders were not built square like a human’s but started from the base of the head or helmet, at an angle of 45°. She was not scared, the being even seemed beautiful to her. She felt drawn to the humanoid, but felt unable to move. When the creature disappeared after about 15 seconds, she suddenly realized that a strange event had just occurred and ran to the bedroom to wake up her husband. But there was nothing to be seen anymore.

He describes: "I saw in front of me an object that looked like a sphere of intense and very white brightness. This light decreased and increased: it never went out. Only its intensity varied. The object was a bit higher than my plane and so I started to climb to its height to approach it. While climbing, I had the clear impression (my control devices confirmed it) that the object was going up or down in front of me. Taking advantage of a moment when the object was below, I went down, I accelerated to exceed 400 km/h. But I did not manage to reach the object, because it moved away from my plane more and more, increasing its speed compared to mine. The craft moved away towards the south (…) The UFO was spotted by the airport’s radars. Several people will testify to having seen, that evening, a very large light above the city of Turin. The case has a great media impact. (November 30th, 7 PM)

Event 35477 (52E5F47A)

Date: 11/30/1973
Locations: Caselle Airport, Turin, Italy; Turin; Rome
Description: 7:00 p.m. Pilot Riccardo Marano is about to land at Caselle Airport, Turin, Italy, in a Piper Navajo, when the controller notifies him that there is a UFO about 1,320 feet above the runway. He sees a luminous, multicolored ball of light changing from violet to blue to dark red. “When I got closer and had a better view, the object at once made off, flying in a most irregular fashion, maneuvering in a way I have seen no plane do, making fantastic lateral deviations, and sudden vast jumps to and fro, as if it enjoyed playing hide-and-seek. Its speed was as high as” 540 mph, Marano says. Col. Rustichelli, commandant of the Caselle military airfield, sees the UFO on his own radar screen. “It was something solid, lit up, like a plane on my radar.” Commander Tranquillo, pilot of an Alitalia Air Line DC-9 en route from Turin to Rome, calls to the control tower: “I see a shining thing giving out intermittent flashes of light, four miles from me. I dare not approach. I give way.” Commander Mezzalami in another Alitalia DC-9 reports: “I was able to observe the object … notified by the control tower just as I was about to touch down. I had a good view of it I can offer no theories as to its significance and can only say that it was something very strange indeed.”

Event 35479 (9A74AA0A)

Date: 12/1973
Location: BELGIUM, Vilvorde (north-northeast of Brussels)
Description: (Translated from French) The witness lives in a modest row house and makes the observation from the ground floor. The 75 m² garden is delimited by three high whitewashed walls, behind the back wall there is the property of a convent of religious women housing a school. V.M. was already in bed that night, when around 2 o’clock in the morning he woke up for a natural need and had to go out to a small building attached to the kitchen. He did this without turning on the light, in the darkness. When he arrived in the kitchen he heard the sound of a shovel falling outside. Through the window curtain he saw a greenish light outside. His garden should normally have been plunged into darkness at this hour, the witness was very intrigued. He went to the window, moved the curtain aside. In the back of the garden was a small being of about 1m10 dressed in a shiny suit that emitted a greenish light. The character was visible from the back and three-quarters. He was of medium build, the head, legs and arms proportionate to his height. On his head he wore a transparent helmet in the shape of a ball and a tube came out of the back to connect to a kind of backpack that the character wore on his back. This bag, rectangular in shape, covered his back from the waist to the shoulder blades. This equipment had the same appearance as the clothes. On his stomach, at waist height, he wore a small bright red, luminous and sparkling square box, attached to a belt. The bottom of the billowing trousers was taken up in small tight boots of the same greenish aspect. The hands were gloved and the sleeves of the garment tightened at the wrists. Seen from the back, the head appeared round and black. A halo surrounded the visitor partially illuminating the ground and the left wall. He held in his hand a device comparable to a vacuum cleaner or a mine detector which he slowly passed over a pile of bricks at the bottom of the garden. The character seemed to move with difficulty. He was waddling as he walked. V.M. then used the flashlight and made two light calls in the direction of the creature. At this signal the humanoid turned around by pivoting in one piece. V.M. then saw for the first time the black face of the visitor. He saw neither nose nor mouth: only small pointed ears. The eyes, oval and yellow, were particularly bright and surrounded by a green edge. On the iris the witness noticed small black and red veins, the pupil was black and oval (note from vog: he saw all this at 25 m distance? This creature must have had ENORMOUS eyes!) When the eyelids lowered, the face became completely dark. Then the being answered the witness by raising his hand and forming a “V” with his index and middle finger (note from vog: unless it was donkey ears he was representing!) after which he turned towards the back wall. He put one foot flat against the masonry, then the other and climbed the wall holding his legs straight, arrived at the top of this 3 m high obstacle, he tilted forward to descend (probably) on the other side. A minute having elapsed, V.M. saw an aura of white light appear behind the wall and a round object gradually appear, of about 5 m in diameter, which eventually rose vertically to 20m, then tilted and left behind a luminous trail. During the flight of the craft there was a sound like the rubbing of the elytra of a cricket, which amplified into a whistling when the craft left.

Event 35483 (726B38A2)

Date: 12/1973
Locations: Kansas; Kansas City; north-central Kansas; Kansas State University Veterinarian Laboratory in Manhattan
Description: Kansas is quietly undergoing an epidemic of strange cattle deaths. The incidents first receive wide publicity in the December 22 Kansas City Times, which takes note of the fact that most of the deaths are Black Angus. They have died within a few miles of US 81 in a dozen counties in north-central Kansas. Many show knife marks on the carcasses, including the apparent butchering of sex organs. The lack of blood and footprints is also puzzling. Sheriffs from the affected counties meet and decide that cultists are responsible. But according to the Kansas State University Veterinarian Laboratory in Manhattan, the animals have died of bloat and coyotes have eaten the soft parts. Many ranchers reject the explanation. Mystery helicopters are also linked to the mutilations.

Description: In 1973, Mr. Marjapori was loading gravel at French Lake in Annandale, Louisiana at eight o’clock in the morning when he spotted a silver, cone-shaped UFO. The large end of the cone was revolving, and it was emitting silver streaks from the short end. It shot away to the southeast at a very high speed. At 7:00 that evening a shiny, silver cigar-shaped object descended and paced a car with a mother and daughter in Sugar Grove, Ohio. The UFO had a red light on one end, a green light on the other, and a pulsating white light in the center. It fixed a beam of light on the car and pursued it for 15 minutes.

Event 35487 (B56B5BEA)

Date: 12/2/1973
Location: FRANCE, Carteret-Barneville
Description: (Translated from French) Two fishermen, father Georges Jean and son Noël, arrived on the field around 05:30 in the morning. A big light was revealed at sea level, on the sand. Stunned, the fishermen did not dare to advance at first, but still went down towards the beach, each one going towards his lines. The son saw the light right on his lines and went to get the father, explaining that the light was at the heart of his nets. They headed towards it, pointing their lamps in front of them. The light did not move. They were scared and went back up towards their mopeds. Before leaving, they saw the yellow light go out, then a blue-green beam swept the ground and the dunes. Apart from fear, the witnesses felt nothing. (J. C. BOURRET: “la nouvelle vague des S.V.” - France Empire 1975 - P. 62,63) The same night, a curious accident happened on the coast. The trawler Archipel which was near the breakers of Urville just west of Cherbourg and on the trajectory of the object, lost its way, apparently due to a disturbance of its Decca-navigator (L.D.L.N), a deviation of the compass (J.Vallée Collège invisible p. 72). The boat hit the rocks and sank. (M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: “Ovni, Premier dossier complet…” - éd. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 426) They advanced to about 150 m from the object which had the appearance of an intense yellow window of 3.50m long by 1.50m high emitting a conical beam towards the ground. (…) but it suddenly changed: the yellow light went out. At the place where it had hovered was now a blue-green balloon which flew away at 6:05.

Event 35488 (8FCE56F9)

Date: 12/2/1973
Location: BELGIUM, Boondael (south-southeast of Brussels)
Description: (Translated from French) At 6:30, the witness, Rita Franco, was returning from a short walk with her young shepherd dog. As she was climbing the steps of her building, she heard a crackling noise. She turned around and saw, towards the Chaussée de Boitsfort, a gray-blue luminous beam. It was directed vertically towards the sky and was hollow. The top of the beam was cut horizontally. While she was looking at this phenomenon, it started to move: the crackling was replaced by a whistling. During its movement, the beam described quite tight circles. The dog’s fur was literally standing on end. She expected to see the phenomenon reappear momentarily, hidden by a building, but then she saw a gray-matte craft emerge, which stopped in the air after a silent trajectory of about ten meters. This thing was not lit. It was egg-shaped, with the large end downwards. It seemed to have important edges or welds, but too small to be wings. At that moment, the panicked dog ran towards the hall and she followed it. She hoped to be able to examine the phenomenon from the terrace, but when she got there, there was nothing to see anymore.

Event 35518 (BCF255A8)

Date: 12/6/1973
Location: FRANCE, Fabrègues (Hérault)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 6:45 pm two 14-year-old boys, Fernand Perez and Jean Paul Dazévédo, were out for a ride on their mopeds to the chapel of Saint Baudile. Almost at the top of the steep hill they saw a strange light illuminating the chapel. They abandoned their mopeds and continued on foot: they discovered a circular object about 10 meters in diameter and about 3.5 meters high, resting on legs, a bit lower down. The object was the color of aluminum and they heard a faint humming like that of a small electric motor. All around the dome there were red and white flashing lights. A door opened in the middle, sliding on the upper part of the dome. They were scared! They went back down to their mopeds, avoiding making any noise, and returned to Fabrègues to alert people. Three of their friends went back up with them. When they arrived at the site they were blinded by an intense light that prevented them from seeing anything. The story spread around the village, and when everyone arrived at the top, they saw an object that seemed to be trying to land, but it disappeared over the crest of the hill in the direction of Sète. - Traces (GARREAU and LAVIER: “Face aux extra-terrestres” - DELARGE 1975 - J’ai Lu, pp. 207-209) Note: the Fabrègues case is thought to be a hoax set up by the two main young witnesses, but no counter-investigation has come to our knowledge.

Description: Also on this day in 1973, two 11-year-old boys in Chula Vista, San Diego County, California spotted a flying saucer from their school classroom. The bottom of the object was “real shiny like it was glowing.” In Watsonville, Santa Cruz County, California early that morning at 5:50 a.m. a UFO with red lights on top and silver lights on the bottom moved gradually north after remaining stationary for 10 minutes. The UFO was viewed through binoculars, and reportedly had a wide red band that rotated around the middle of the craft’s body

Event 35547 (5FC03886)

Date: 12/10/1973
Description: About four hours later (6:20 p.m. local time) in Ouzoues-sur-Loire, France a 50-year-old couple, several other witnesses, and gendarmes watched a silent, 5 meter tall cone-shaped UFO only 20 meters from the ground fly away toward the southwest. Two hours after that, at about 8:30 p.m. in Hochries, Germany near the Austrian-Bavarian border, Friedrich Lennartz, age 33, and Peter Zettel, age 29, had a close encounter of the second kind when a multi-colored, ovoid UFO responded to a red signal rocket they had fired to get the UFO’s attention. The UFO had been hovering near a mountain ski resort with the pointed end up. Its size was estimated as nine meters in diameter and 12-14 meters tall. The top portion looked like a yellow dome. Four rows of colored lights (red, green, blue, and white) rotated counterclockwise around the lower portion. They experienced loud static on their short wave radio as the UFO changed color to a dazzling red, made a 90-degree turn, and sped toward the witnesses, traveling 5-6 kilometers in 10 seconds. It hovered close to their mountain for two more hours as their dogs whimpered to be let into the cabin. The UFO then shot upward at a steep angle at “breakneck speed.”

Event 35553 (CB6AFF26)

Date: 12/12/1973
Description: At 9:15 a.m. the witness was alone at home with her young daughter and had just stepped out onto her patio in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico when she saw a bright oval-shaped craft hovering at a high altitude overhead. It appeared to be rocking back and forth. She went back inside the house and she next heard a loud humming sound, which stopped for a few moments, then started again. She then saw through her kitchen window a strange being standing 15 feet away. He was of normal height, but wore a bright, tight-fitting uniform and a black helmet. His skin was reddish bronze in color and he seemed not to have a mouth or a nose. His eyes were two round holes that stared at the witness intensely. A yellowish beam of light illuminated the man from an unknown source in the sky. The witness felt like she going into a trance, and began receiving telepathic messages from the being. At one point she felt compelled to go to the front of the house, where she saw a floating box about three inches long and very shiny, it seemed to have had a calming effect on her. After the incident she went into a fit of hysterics.

Event 35555 (C3531B3C)

Date: 12/13/1973
Location: France, Clermont Ferrand, Puy de la Vache
Description: (Translated from French) Beginning of the CLAUDE VORILHON = RAEL affair. “That is how I found myself at the bottom of the crater (note from vog: extinguished! Phew!); And suddenly I saw a flashing light above the volcano (…) It was only when it stopped two meters above the ground, about twenty meters from me, that I noticed it had the shape of a huge bell, four meters high and seven meters in diameter. It had the color of silver metal”. The lower hatch of the craft opened and inclined towards the ground, unfolding like a removable footstep. "Seeing two feet appear, then two legs clad in green, I was panic-stricken. I only regained my composure when, above a thin silhouette, about 1.20m high, I saw the face of this mysterious being. With his slanted eyes, wide forehead, black beard and olive complexion, he had an Asian type. A kind of halo enveloped his face. (…) (Vorilhon follows the stranger inside the saucer) At the request of the extraterrestrial, he will return five days in a row at the same time to the bottom of the crater. He will receive a long message and stunning details about the origin of the worlds. (December 13, 1973)

Event 35597 (CBEA0640)

Date: 12/25/1973
Location: FRANCE, Les Riveaux (St Bonnet Tronçais)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 9 pm, Mme Jendreaux left the farm to check if the dogs were properly tied up for the night. The sky was particularly cloudy and low. Suddenly, towards the east she saw the phenomenon, as if it had just lit up: first a kind of milky dome above a meadow 100 m away from her, which was stationary close to the ground. Mme Jendreaux had the impression that it was made of a transparent or translucent material because she seemed to make out a kind of vertical “stovepipe” inside. On either side of this pipe, the dome was stained with two vaguely circular dark areas. The dome was the size of a small tractor. Above it, offset to the right, were two yellow neon tubes placed one above the other, horizontal and motionless. These tubes were clearly visible just above the line of trees. The whole thing was perfectly silent and Mme Jendreaux, fascinated, watched the phenomenon for several minutes without moving from the doorstep and without thinking to call her husband inside the house a few metres away from her. Suddenly she felt drawn, sucked towards the phenomenon. She had the distinct impression that she was rising, that her feet were leaving the ground… So, she clung to the door handle. At the same moment, the dog, which had not yet reacted, panicked and ran between her mistress’s legs to take refuge in the house. At the animal’s touch, Mme Jendreaux lowered her eyes and when she looked up again… there was nothing. The sky was empty.

Event 35614 (330F88F6)

Date: 12/31/1973
Location: FRANCE, Haisnes - Hulluch “La Tonne de Goudron” (Pas de Calais)
Description: (Translated from French) The merchant Liefooghe at 6 o’clock in the morning, on a route he takes every weekday, saw in a field, 100 m away: a rocket 30 to 50 m high. Upon his arrival it had tilted, emitted red-orange to white and disappeared into the sky at an incredible speed. Gendarmerie alerted and traces on the ground observed. (J.C. BOURRET: “La nouvelle vague des S.V.” - France Empire 1975, p.78 to 82) … the witness alerted the gendarmerie who, less than 3 hours later, was on the scene. They discovered, not only, clear traces left by the cigar, but also footprints of small feet measuring 17 cm long. (Erich ZUCHER: “Les apparitions d’humanoïdes” - ed. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 105) Around 7 o’clock, on a cloudy and foggy day, Mr. Liefooghe sees the shape of a DS Citroën car, with two yellow-orange headlights directed towards him. He finds it strange that a car is parked against the flow of traffic, but continues to move at a moderate speed. At 50 m from the parking spot of “the thing” he suddenly sees a craft leaving the side of the road and, having reached the middle of the road, performs a kind of turn. This “car” has no rear lights or reflectors. 400 m further on he sees an orange glow in front of him on the left. He then sees a large cigar-shaped object in a field 100 m away. No superstructure is visible. Quickly the luminosity of the cigar increases in intensity, it quickly tilts at about 20 degrees on its own axis. The luminosity is at this moment so strong that it partially blurs the previously sharp outlines. The surrounding fields are lit by a yellow-orange light and the witness sees it as if it were broad daylight. The illumination does not vary during the ascent of the object, but it suddenly stops after a few moments. Traces on the ground: traces of the craft and traces of small feet.

Event 35621 (3D33F7B3)

Date: 12/31/1973
Description: At 7:00 a.m. on highway 347 between Lens and La Bassee in Pas-de-Calais, France Mr. Liefooghe had a close encounter with two UFOs. He came upon a disc-shaped object on the road, and he watched a cigar-shaped UFO land in a vertical position. He did not stay around but came back later with investigators, who found ground marks and small footprints. At five a.m. CST another cigar-shaped object with two small wings approached a home in La Grange, Illinois rapidly from the west. The object was self-luminous and appeared solid, and passed low over the treetops. At 4:20 p.m. Pacific Standard Time a photograph of a luminous UFO was taken in Spokane, Washington and the event was witnessed by two families. At 10:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, on a highway near a farm east of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada a man saw a bright light in his rearview mirror. It looked like the revolving light on a train, except there were no railroad tracks in the vicinity. He then noticed an eight-foot tall giant running in a ditch alongside the truck at speeds up to 60 mph. The being touched the hood and roof of the truck before being out-distanced.

Date: 1974 (approximate)
Location: PORTUGAL, Rio Tinto-Oporto
Description: (Translated from French) At 8:15 PM, the 14-year-old witness was in the backyard with two family members when they heard a loud noise and all the lights went out at once. He ran outside and saw an object in the shape of Saturn, 6.50 m in diameter and 4 to 4.50 m high, radiating beams of light of all colors. The upper part was transparent and the witness saw 4 or 5 entities, dressed in dark frogman suits, about 1.80 m tall and humanoid in appearance.

Description: Since 1968, Marjorie E. Fish, a schoolteacher in Oak Harbor, Ohio, has been fascinated with the star map drawn by Betty Hill after her abduction. If she could figure out what stars are on the map, she might be able to determine where the UFO came from. With much difficulty and many failed attempts, Fish creates a 3D map that indicates the relevant stars are the two in the Zeta Reticuli binary system, 39.3 light years from earth. She first publishes her results in Pursuit. Later observations reveal some interpretations in Fish’s map to be inaccurate, and she rejects her hypothesis in 2011.

In terror, they head off over the moors, but moments later they run over a cattle grid, inexplicably finding themselves in Ilam 12 miles away. Seconds later there is another bump and they reach a developed area that turns out to be a town 20 miles to the north. They find a police station to report the incident and find that it is now 3:30 a.m.

He was out running in a driving rainstorm, when he came upon a seven-foot-tall, bulky figure standing in a slumped forward posture, with long arms dangling nearly to the ground. Behind it was hovering an orange pulsating flying saucer, only a few feet off the ground. The creature’s head accounted for more than half of its height. It had very large eyes, and its legs were “squashed” and “stubby.” It waddled up to Barry and struck him on the chest, knocking him into a pool of water. It then waddled away and climbed aboard the UFO, which rose into the sky. Others reportedly saw UFOs over Santa Ana that day.

Event 35658 (A1207973)

Date: 1/7/1974
Location: FRANCE, Chateaulin
Description: (Translated from French) It was exactly 8:20. They had left Chateaulun a little earlier and were in Saint-Nic, at the top of a slight height, when one of them saw an object in the sky, which caught his attention and aroused his curiosity. Gendarme Kaminski stopped the staff car at the request of his companion and both observed the strange “thing”. “It was approximately in the axis of Cap de la Chèvre,” explains Mr. Le Stunff. The color was orange, the shape elongated. As we said, it was 8:20. It was not very clear but the night had stopped. Due to its direction, it is obvious that this light could not be confused with that of the sun. The object was motionless and the light contrasted with the “cloud” behind it. We observed it for about five minutes. But during this period, it changed shape, in fact it looked like a kind of “condensation” of “smoke”, I can not think of another word. At the start it had an elongated shape, then it took the shape of a dome (a mushroom cap) before coming to a standstill above the aircraft carrier “Foch” in the bay of Douarnenez. Then the whole seemed to burst before taking the shape of a circle. After that, the UFO changed shape again into a dome, but this time the condensation surrounded it at its base, before taking altitude and disappearing into the clouds. (…) "(Jean François BOEDEC: “Les OVNI en Bretagne, Anatomie d’un Phénomène”, ed. Fernand Lanore 1978, pp. 90 to 92) At the place called “Coat Madiou” two gendarmes from the Telgrunc brigade, Le Strunff (the Stroumph, blue ???) and Kaminski, saw in the sky a strange object at 8:20 in the morning. It was in the shape of an orange half-sphere and was followed by a pale orange cloud. The phenomenon came to stabilize above a building of the navy in the bay of Douarnenez: the aircraft carrier Foch. Later the witnesses learned that the nuclear submarine “Redoutable” was on an immersion mission under the “Foch”. The cloud came to stabilize under the object and the contours became clearer. Later, this kind of “mushroom” luminous burst or seemed to explode to take the shape of a pale orange sphere. Then it took its initial shape and its first colors, the contours became crazy, it rose slowly to disappear into the clouds. (Philippe SCHNEYDER: “Ovni, first balance” - ed. du Rocher 1983, pp. 53, 54) This observation is reported on the date of February 3, 1974 by:

Event 35659 (F47179B9)

Date: 1/7/1974
Location: BELGIUM, Warneton (Franco-Belgian border in the north)
Description: (Translated from French) The witness was driving his AMI 6 at 60/70 km/h from Comines to Warneton at around 8:40 PM. The car radio was working normally. There was a bright moonlight and the sky was clear. Suddenly the car headlights went out and almost simultaneously the engine stopped after a few stutters and the radio became silent. The car continued to roll for about a hundred meters, then its owner stopped it with the handbrake. He was about to get out of the car to see what was happening, his hand already on the door handle: he didn’t have time to complete his gesture when he saw, on the right side, in the elevated field, what he took for a hay wagon 150 m away from him. But there were white and orange reflections on the object and he also noticed that it was standing on three legs. The whole object reminded him of a “Tommy” helmet. Through the windshield he then saw two silhouettes in the field, 30 m away from the car. They were walking towards him in a rigid and slow manner, stopped at 15 m and then resumed their progression. The first one, the smallest, looked like a Michelin man but with barely marked rings. He had a helmet on, the round helmet had a large window behind which one could see a face. He was holding a kind of short thick ruler in his right hand and pointing it towards the car. The second one was a bit taller (1.20 m to 1.30 m) and he was wearing an opaque cubic helmet, except for the front wall which was transparent and showed a strange face. The two faces were alike like those of twins: pear-shaped head, grayish complexion, two perfectly round eyes like agate beads, barely pronounced eyebrow arch. Small nose with little relief, the mouth a horizontal slit without lips. When one of them opened his mouth at one point, the witness saw neither teeth nor tongue. The costume was gray metallic matte. The shoes were big and pointed. Inside the helmets there was a soft light. Shortly after the beings had stopped very close to the ditch, the witness felt a slight shock at the back of the skull, at the height of the cerebellum: after this shock he heard (before he heard nothing, the windows being closed): a deep modulated sound, increasing in intensity. During all this time a third Michelin man stayed close to the craft in the field. The face-to-face was suddenly disturbed: suddenly the two beings turned their heads in a perfectly synchronized movement, the sound stopped, the beings turned around and quickly went back to the UFO. The tripod disappeared, the beings were inside the thing which rose 50 cm and after 3 or 4 seconds of immobility it rose horizontally and disappeared. In the rearview mirror the witness saw the white lights of a car approaching. Slumped in the seat the witness will see a Belgian motorist open the door for him and ask him: “Did they hurt you?” He had seen them too, he had engine stutters but not the headlights going out. After a few starter solicitations the witness’s car was also able to leave.

Event 35660 (111D5324)

Date: 1/7/1974
Description: (Translated from French) A Belgian businessman is driving near the French-Belgian border. His headlights suddenly go out. His engine stops abruptly. His radio goes silent. The driver pulls the handbrake and stops on the side of the road. He then sees in a field, 150 m away, an object that looks like a British helmet (the famous “flat cap”) and sees two small beings come out of it. The smallest one, who looks like the Michelin Man, wears a round helmet. He has strange eyes and a slit for a mouth. The bigger one wears a uniform, with a cubic helmet and a belt. When the bigger one seems to open his mouth, the businessman feels a shock at the base of his skull and hears a kind of modulated sound. At that moment, a car appears on the horizon. The two humanoids quickly move away, walking with abrupt and identical gestures, without seeming bothered by the mud covering the field. According to the businessman, their legs were only partially visible. (January 7)

Description: 8:40 p.m. A man’s car suddenly dies as he is driving near Warneton, Belgium. He sees a landed domed disc with a flat bottom like a WWI helmet, 23–33 feet in diameter and 7–10 feet wide. It has a flange around its base and three legs. White and orange alternating bands are on the glowing object. Two humanoid beings approach him. They have broad shoulders, heads shaped like inverted pears, long arms, large eyes, and no noses. One is about 4 feet tall, the other somewhat taller; a third being remains near the craft. They wear internally lit cube- shaped helmets with the face visible, gray jumpsuits, and gloves. The taller being comes within 12–15 feet of the vehicle, then opens and closes its mouth. The witness feels a shock to the back of his head and hears a low- pitched sound. The two humanoids quickly return to the craft, which now pulses with an electric blue color, and departs.

Event 35666 (62C9DD3E)

Date: 1/7/1974
Description: Driving toward Warneton, Belgium along the French-Belgian border, the witness experienced the failure of the lights, engine, and radio of his car. He saw a landed object 150 meters away in a field to his right. The UFO was shaped like a World War I British helmet, was 7 to 10 meters wide, and stood on tripod landing gear. It had patches of orange luminescence on top with a white light underneath. Two beings were seen coming from the direction of the object, walking slowly and stiffly toward the car. The shorter entity wore an outfit with horizontal rings around the torso and a round helmet with a large, circular face plate showing a pear shaped, grayish head with no hair, round “marble like” eyes, a rudimentary nose, and a slit-like lipless mouth. He held an object like a short thick ruler with a pointed tip, aimed at the car. The taller entity wore a cubical helmet transparent in form, showing a face identical with the other’s but with a small rectangular box under the chin. His suit was a dull metallic gray one-piece coverall, including gloves and heavy, pointed boots. He wore a black belt with a luminous disc in front and a diagonal “Sam Browne” strap from belt to shoulder, with a vertical row of “buttons” on each side of the chest. Both beings had long arms. The interior of the helmets appeared to be illuminated. A third entity was seen standing guard near the object.

The two beings approached to within four meters of the car and the taller was seen opening and closing his mouth. The witness felt a slight shock on the back of his head and heard, simultaneously, a low pitched, modulated sound. The two suddenly wheeled around and walked quickly back to the object, which now pulsated an electric blue color on top. The three beings boarded, the landing gear withdrew, and the object rose slightly, hovered, then ascended rapidly at a 60 degree angle. A car was then seen approaching, whose driver said he had seen the object and its occupants. As the primary witness drove off, he continued to get poor reception on his car radio. The duration of the close encounter was about 20 minutes.

Event 35667 (E23C8CDC)

Date: 1/8/1974
Location: USA, Springfield
Description: (Translated from French) John E. Justice, a night guard, having taken his car at the end of his shift, at three in the morning, was driving normally on the long park avenue, when suddenly his headlights dimmed and his engine stopped. In a few seconds Justice saw large lights descending and spreading out in the sky a short distance in front of his car. Then the rainbow of lights went out, and an oval-shaped light about two meters in diameter appeared. It was too bright for him to make out any shape of the fuselage. “The trees, the road, everything was lit up,” said Justice. “And in my car I could have cut my nails, it was so bright.” The object was getting closer. Soon it was only two meters in front of the car and slightly above. He could now see inside the oval object. It was a golden-colored room with 5 occupants seated on high chairs on the left side. They were motionless, in a row, wearing capes of the same color as the chairs. (…) their hair was so long that it covered part of their faces. They all looked alike. (January 8, 1974)

He could see five small occupants within, seated on high backed chairs and wearing bright colored robes. Each had very long brown hair that reached almost to the floor. They appeared to be three to four feet tall, but the witness could not recall their facial features. The UFO brightly illuminated the surrounding terrain and his car’s interior. After five minutes the interior light went out and the UFO ascended rapidly with another display of multicolored, flashing lights. A maintenance man on the workplace premises had noticed a failure of his “pager” radio four times between seven and eight o’clock earlier that evening although no UFOs were seen.

Date: 1/15/1974
Description: Two students were walking along the beach in Mar Del Plata, Argentina at midnight when they sighted a small white light moving towards the coast from the sea. It divided into three lights as it came closer. They walked to the nearest pier to catch a better look of the lights and began walking down the pier when two more lights became visible to their right. They could now see that the lights were five humanoid beings that were walking gracefully in the water. The seawater reached their chests. These beings were dressed in diving suits and their heads were covered with helmets with a mask and a tube going onto their backs. The beings walked out of the water and onto the road, leaving the area.

Event 35689 (B58CE629)

Date: 1/18/1974
Location: FRANCE, Landivisiau (Saint Derrien? ) (Finistère nord)
Description: (Translated from French) On January 18th 1974, it was Mr. Jaffres, from the village “Bellevue” in Ladivisiau who observed a “glowing ball” at the height of the clouds. This object descended vertically and came to a stop above a meadow. Mr. Jaffres then decided to take his car and go to the scene “to be sure”. To his surprise, upon arrival, the UFO had changed shape and presented itself as an immense vertical cylinder of metallic appearance, 6 meters high and 3 meters wide. Two rotors were visible above and below it: they emitted intermittent flashes of light. The witness, not very reassured by this presence, sent out several beacon calls: the craft then began to rise and fall! And it would do so with each call. Mr. Jaffres parked his vehicle near a slope, grabbed his… pistol and advanced towards the meadow… The UFO approached slowly… Mr. Jaffre then felt a tingling in his eyes… That was too much. Our man quickly returned to his home. The observation continued for 2 hours from the window of the first floor, in the company of two other witnesses, before the cylinder transformed again into a sphere before returning to the clouds… (Jean François BOEDEC: “Les OVNI en BRETAGNE, Anatomie d’un Phénomène”, éd. Fernand Lanore 1978, p. 74 ) It was 10:30 pm, it was raining, Mr. and Mrs. Jaffrès and Mrs. brother were about to go to bed, when, through the window, a bright light caught their attention. It came from a ball two to three times as big as the full moon, under the cloud ceiling. The wind was blowing hard from west to east. This ball was descending at great speed vertically, slowing down greatly when it was no more than 200 or 300 m from the ground, moving above a field. The shape, then more distinct, was cylindrical, with the lower and upper ends formed of rings. It was about 300 m from the house. Mr. Jaffrès finally, after already 3/4 of an hour of observation, took the decision to go out in the car and go to the edge of the field. Despite the rainy weather, the whole area of the place called “Belle-Vue” was lit up. After 10 minutes, he had the idea of making beacon calls. At each “code-phare” passage, the object went up and down, giving the impression of a helicopter in difficulty. The witness then had the certainty that the extreme rings were turning on the cylinder, projecting sparks and sparks of the color of a continuous flash. The witness got out of the car. The object sometimes moved slowly, sometimes much more quickly. When it came back to the witness, he felt for the first time a discharge of heat very clearly and he heard a buzzing like that of a fan. The witness was not really afraid, but became nervous and when the object was 20 m from him, he felt tingles and his eyes were tingling. Caution: he had armed himself with a defense pistol before going to meet the UFO… Then, seeing the object rise and believing that it was leaving, the witness returned to the house. It was already twelve thirty. They continued to watch the evolutions of what they took for takeoff attempts. At 03:00 in the morning, the light dimmed and they saw the ball return to the clouds. The next day the witness went to the field to find any traces: he found grass lying in places and in some places there was a liquid substance that looked like fuel but was not. Unfortunately, he did not have the idea of collecting a little of this liquid for analysis. (1974, January 18th to 19th)

Going outside people saw blue and orange lights floating in a circle around Cader Mountain, east of the village. Aa retired military man using the name of “Robert Prescott” that told him that he and some others had been assigned to transport two crates from the crash site at a place called Porton Down military personnel opened the crates and the Prescott saw two humanoid figures about 5 to 6 ft tall, very thin, almost skeletal in nature with a covering skin. Other units supposedly transported live aliens from the “crash” site. (HC addition # 3925; CSETI, Nicholas Redfern, “Cosmic Crashes”, Type: H) (NICAP: 07 - Entity Cases)

Event 35702 (3AC6248D)

Date: 1/23/1974
Locations: Llandrillo, northern Wales; Cadair Bronwen mountain, east of the village; Leicester University, England; RAF Valley in Anglesey, Wales; Dee Estuary; South Wales
Description: 8:30 p.m. Witnesses at Llandrillo, northern Wales, see a bright object followed by a luminous tail and (according to one witness) a blinking blue light. The object is motionless for several minutes, during which time it dims then becomes very bright. It appears to crash around Cadair Bronwen mountain, east of the village. Many people hear a terrific explosion and a violent shaking of the ground recorded up to 60 miles away. Astronomers at Leicester University, England, record at least three fireball meteors this evening. The British Geological Survey identifies the source of the explosion as an earthquake. Police and a mountain rescue team from RAF Valley in Anglesey, Wales, are in the area almost immediately and cordon off access to the supposed crash site on a barren hilltop. They find no trace of a crash the next day, but a nurse on the way to the crash site after being telephoned by police headquarters is on her way up the mountain with her daughters when she sees something sitting on the ground ahead of her. It seems to be intact and is large, circular, and glowing orange. The nurse and her daughters are within a few hundred feet when police and military forces show up and clearly tell her to leave the area. Researcher Tony Dodd is reportedly approached by a retired military man using the name of “Robert Prescott” who tells him that he and some others were assigned to transport two oblong crates from the crash site to a place called Porton Down where the UK Ministry of Defence’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory is located. They are instructed not to stop for anyone. Military personnel open the crates and Prescott sees two humanoid figures, apparently dead, about 5–6 ft tall, very thin, almost skeletal in nature with a covering skin. These are placed in decontamination suits. Other units supposedly transport live aliens from the crash site. At 10:00 p.m., a man watches a luminous sphere descend into the sea near the Dee Estuary about 25 miles north. Nick Redfern speculates that a UK version of Project Moon Dust might be in activation, which could explain reports of mystery helicopters in the area in prior weeks. Jenny Randles hears later from a former UK government official that a crashed UFO is being kept in a military base in South Wales. In May, Welsh MP Dafydd Elis-Thomas asks Defence Minister Brynmor John if any official investigation was made; John says the only official investigation was made by the RAF Valley team. National Archives files released in 2005 show that the MoD consulted the Meteorological Office and DI55, which says the meteor explanation is the likeliest.

Event 35703 (D4F83990)

Date: 1/23/1974
Description: The entire village of Llandrillo, Wales heard a loud explosion that was preceded by violent shaking of the ground. Running outside, many people saw blue and orange lights floating in a circle around Cader Mountain east of the village. Police and RAF personnel were in the area quickly and cordoned off access to a supposed crash site on the barren hilltop. A nurse, telephoned by the police, was on her way up the mountain to the crash site with her daughters when she saw something sitting on the ground ahead of her. It seemed to be intact and was very large, circular and glowed orange. She and her daughters got to within a few hundred feet of teh object when the police and military showed up and told her to leave. According to UFO researcher Tony Dodd, a retired military man using the name of “Robert Prescott” told him that he and some others had been assigned to transport two crates from the crash site to the top secret military weapons research facility at Porton Down near Salisbury, England. According to Prescott, military personnel opened the crates and found two humanoid bodies about 5 to 6 feet tall, and so very thin they were almost skeletal in nature. Other units allegedly transported live aliens from the “crash” site.

Event 35704 (D89AA6C6)

Date: 1/24/1974
Location: ENGLAND, Berwyn Mountains, Clwyd (Wales)
Description: (Translated from French) (Source: New 1999 book by veterinarian and ufologist Nick Redfern, U.K.) A UFO crashed in the isolated Clwyd valley and the bodies of two aliens were removed from the wreckage, writes this author. “Farmer Huw Lloyd, 39 in 1999, was then a 14-year-old boy watching television at his home in Llandrillo, very close to the crash site, that night in 1974. He says he saw a large object followed by a luminous trail and a flashing blue light. Huw remembers: ‘It was amazing how quickly the police arrived and how many people came to see.’ Among the arrivals, Redfern says, were units of the British army, and it was they who removed the body of the aliens. One of the soldiers, named ‘James Prescott’ (pseudonym) was sent from Llanderfel with four other soldiers, and loaded two long oblong boxes into their armored truck”. The truck was taking the boxes to the Chemical and Biological Defence Establishment at Porton Down, near Salisbury, in Wiltshire, with the strict order not to stop under any pretext or for anyone. "Mr Prescott is retired today and is too scared to allow the use of his real name. He says that once they arrived “the boxes were opened by senior officers in our presence. We were amazed to see two creatures in decontamination suits. It was obvious that they were not creatures of this world; upon examination they were found to be deceased. They measured 5 to 6 feet, had a humanoid shape, but in a way resembling skeletons covered with skin. Although I did not see the craft at the crash site, I was informed that a large craft had crashed and been found by other army units.”

Event 35713 (DF17E6E8)

Date: 1/25/1974
Location: PORTUGAL, Sagres - Algarve
Description: (Translated from French) Witnesses were flying in a TAP Boeing 707 from Lisbon to Cape Verde and Las Palmas. Alerted by technician Francisco Duarte, captain Rodrigo Freitas saw at Freitas’ coast, and facing their plane, at 80 miles, a formation of 5 lights. Two of these lights were spinning. The phenomenon was followed by a trail. The plane was flying at 900 km/h at 19000 feet. The lights were at 16000 feet above the plane. The pilot tried to find out if other planes were confirming this observation and learned that a South African plane had encountered the strange formation 40 minutes earlier. Knowing the position of the other plane, Mr. Freitas later calculated that the formation was flying at a speed of 36000 km/h and made a report to NASA. (1974, 25 January)

She immediately ran to her house to call her family, who came out into the courtyard. In the end, there were more than ten witnesses (…) It was a main object accompanied by seven smaller ones. The main body was oval-shaped and not shiny. The seven small flying objects in the shape of a sphere, emitted a yellow-white, transparent and dazzling light. They were on the same plane, around the main object and at an equal distance from it. Their light illuminated the main body well. They flew together, at the same speed, without any noise. (…) The UFO was 100 m away from the witnesses. It was a good night, the full moon illuminated the landscape. One could clearly distinguish these flying bodies, which, seven minutes later, disappeared in the northwest. (February 1974)

Date: 2/6/1974
Location: USA, near Uniontown (Pennsylvania)
Description: (Translated from French) Mrs. A., who lived alone in an isolated house in the middle of the woods, was watching television. Having heard a clanking noise at the entrance, and thinking it was stray dogs, she took her gun, only to scare them. She thus headed towards the door and turned on the outside light. Instead of a dog, she found herself face to face, two meters away, with a simian-looking, hairy creature two meters and twenty centimeters tall. The giant raised his hands above his head. Frightened, the woman shot, thinking he was going to throw himself at her. To her great surprise, he simply disappeared in a burst of light. (…) Her son-in-law, who lived with his wife and children in a trailer 300 meters away, had heard the gunshot. Immediately armed with a 6-shot revolver, he went to his mother-in-law’s residence. Approaching, he saw at the edge of the woods “four or five furry shadows”. It was a terrifying sight: simian-looking beings two meters tall, with long arms “with glowing eyes like embers”. He fired two shots, then ran to his mother-in-law’s house. Looking out the window, they both saw at a hundred and fifty meters from them a bright red light motionless above the woods. It looked like a Christmas tree ornament or the rotating beacon of a police car. Panicked, they called the police [note from vog: who came and found no trace…]

Date: 2/6/1974
Locations: Fayette County; Uniontown, Pennsylvania
Description: Late evening. A woman watching TV in rural Fayette County near Uniontown, Pennsylvania, hears a “rattling of tin cans” on her porch. She grabs and loads a shotgun, turns on the porch light, and steps into the doorway of the porch, where she encounters a 7-foot-tall apelike creature with its hands raised in the air. She fires into his midsection and it “just disappeared in a flash of light.” Her son-in-law, who lives in a trailer 100 feet away, hears the shot, grabs a revolver, and heads for her house. Along the way, he sees “shadows of four or five hairy people” who approach him. They have “fire red eyes that glowed in total darkness.” About 1,500 feet away, a red, flashing light hovers above the trees. Investigating police arrive and find no tracks but notice that the animals seem terrified. The son-in-law tells investigator Stan Gordon that he had encountered a similar apelike creature in November 1973.

Event 35763 (AC48658B)

Locations: Al-Hud Mosque in Al Mukalla, Yemen; Wadi Jawlan
Description: Sunset. Mullah Umar Siddiq, merchant Ibrahim Khaleb, and physician Muhammad Watif are standing on the roof of the Al-Hud Mosque in Al Mukalla, Yemen, when they see three large white discs gliding slowly downward. They gather some provisions, hire three camels, and head for the Wadi Jawlan 32 miles to the east, where they estimate the objects have landed. At dawn, they dismount to say prayers, and a vivid glow lights up the eastern sky above the Wadi Jawlan for a few seconds. The light is yellowish-white and comes from three beams that are stabbing upwards and fanning out into the sky. Although the light dies down, the beams are still visible, eventually growing paler. They find deep, clear-cut tracks of caterpillar-track vehicles all over the rugged area. At three places, about 325 feet apart, they find numerous scoop marks, about 33 inches wide, in an area in the form of a triangle with sides 17 feet wide. The rock has been fused and melted and the grass and thorn-scrub is burnt.

Description: On this evening at Wadi Jawlan in Yemen east of Al-Makalla, three Arab men saw three large white disc-shaped objects glide toward ground and land in the nearby desert. When on the ground a bright light and three beams of light were directed upward into the sky. The objects stayed on the ground for several hours. Later at the landing site investigators found three imprints, each 85 cm wide, arranged in a triangle with sides 5.3 meters in length. The vegetation was also burnt. On the same evening at 7:30 p.m. a glowing domed disc was sighted in Douvrin, France just 15 meters above the ground. It vanished, then reappeared.

Description: That same night David Swanner of Shores Community, Tennessee claims he was invited by two “men” to ride in a UFO. In a few moments after accepting their invitation they flew over San Francisco, then the Hawaiian Islands. His round trip excursion took only 45 minutes. The purpose of their presence, he was told, was to warn of the “possible destruction of Solar System by atomic bombs.” The UFOnauts were between four and five feet tall, wore white coveralls, and had long, pointed chins, with tall foreheads and small eyes, ears, and noses. They claimed that their lifespan was between 125-175 years. Mr. Swanner was instructed to inform the public. He claims to possess proof, but it “cannot now be revealed.” This was his third close encounter with the aliens.

Date: 2/14/1974
Location: Petite-Ile (Reunion), France
Description: 1:30 p.m. A man was walking along a rural road when he suddenly felt a force pulling at him and a tingling sensation. He then saw a white, disc-shaped object with transparent dome hovering just above the ground. A light beam was directed at him from the apparent craft. Three small beings, about 1.0 to 1.2 meters tall, were moving in and out of an opening and acting interested in the terrain. (Ouranos No. 14, 2nd Quarter 1975. Investigated by M.J. Bertil.

Event 35788 (DB794389)

Date: 2/14/1974
Location: Ely, Nevada
Description: 4:25 a.m. Two brothers are transporting their parents’ furniture in a U-Haul truck near Ely, Nevada, when they notice a round, orange object that paces them, then approaches. They feel as though they are “hit by a blast of wind or force field.” The engine and lights give out, the steering goes, and the truck seems to momentarily float, come back down, and coast to a stop. Ahead of them, just over a hill, they see a large, round object with a domed top and wings. The other object approaches again. One brother points a flashlight at it, whereupon they both get an intense feeling of isolation that lasts about 20 minutes. Since the truck appears to be damaged, they flag down a passing car and call for a tow truck. When the tow truck hauls it away, the rear wheels fall off. It needs new tires, a rear axle, outside housing, and gears.

Event 35789 (6CB24B5F)

Date: 2/14/1974
Description: Two brothers were moving some of their possessions in a truck near Ely, Nevada. At around 4:15 a.m. the engine of the truck began missing and the lights flickered, so they shifted into neutral. They then felt a blast of wind shake the truck and saw an orange colored light moving low to the ground from right to left. They stopped the truck and saw six different lights or objects surrounding them: three blue stationary lights, a red pulsating light, a silver colored saucer, and a reddish-orange saucer. The red light then came directly at the truck, passed close by, and continued on behind them. After the objects had finally disappeared, they found the rear axle on the truck broken in half.

The light from the portholes was bright and multicolored: yellow-blue-green. Rays of light were emanating from the portholes, directed obliquely towards the ground and illuminating the gorse and juniper that dotted the moor. The beams of light from the front were still visible. Suddenly the witness saw nothing. No sound. Altitude 200 to 300 m. Length of the object: 14 to 20 m. (February 21, 1974)

Description: French radio journalist Jean-Claude Bourret interviews French Defense Minister Robert Galley for his France Inter radio program, OVNIs: Pas de panique! Galley says his department has been interested in UFO reports since the French wave of 1954. Ministry records contain many baffling radar/visual cases. He speaks of the strong quality of the evidence and that people must regard UFOs with a “completely open mind.” The mass of UFO reports “from the airborne gendarmerie, from the mobile gendarmerie, and from the gendarmerie charged with conducting investigations,” all of which are forwarded to CNES, would make people see that it is “pretty disturbing.”

Event 35806 (F0BAC0C7)

Date: 2/22/1974
Location: FRANCE, Sauvagny (Allier)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 11pm a fairly thick fog forced Jean-Michel Lartigaud and his wife Marie-Thérèse to drive at about 60 km/h. At Sauvagny the fog dissipated and visibility became perfect. "At the same moment, I felt a great cold that froze me from head to foot, followed by a shiver like I had never felt before. In front of me, to the right of the road and 3 to 4 m below, I saw an enormous luminous object, which seemed to be resting on the ground. Instinctively I slowed down, shaking my wife who was dozing. It looked like a cylinder 8m high and 3m in diameter at the top and slightly narrower at the base. I could not detect any solid structure. It was perfectly still. The top was made up of a kind of camembert box lid 3m in diameter and 1m thick. It emitted a dry light of extraordinary power, almost bluish white, but this light did not radiate. Under the lid a luminous cone evoked frosted glass. On the ground, the base was not clearly defined. Everything remained dark around this object whose sharp outlines contrasted sharply with the black of the night. “Go away, get away quickly,” Marie-Thérèse ordered, feeling a sense of danger. Almost immediately the fog raised a cottony wall in front of the car headlights

Event 35824 (AF5A90C4)

Date: 2/26/1974
Location: Canada, camp 731 (80 km NE of Baie Comeau)
Description: (Translated from French) (source: “Le Bois Vert” No. 2 vol. 10, March-April 1974) "An extraordinary event is said to have occurred at 731 in the night of February 26th. It should be mentioned that on several occasions before this date, Koehring operators would have seen in the sky of 731, a strange object, like a very large star, of an even greater luminosity. After remaining motionless, this “thing” quickly disappeared from their view. But according to several employees of this camp, what happened during the night of February 26th, around 4 o’clock in the morning, is much more surprising! J.S.L., who told us this strange fact himself, was traveling in a truck with his work companion F.B. and the “thing” suddenly appeared to them at a distance so close that they were frightened and called for help to the camp by radio. According to these two eyewitnesses, the craft stopped nearby, and they stopped their truck. They could no longer use the radio because the interference made it unusable. For at least 20 minutes, this mysterious apparition remained there, motionless, at the height of the treetops. “It must have been at least 30 feet long,” J.S.L. told us. A blinding light prevented them from distinguishing the shape of this unknown craft, but they saw a green light on top. As for the rest, it was rather oval in shape, very bright yellow and incandescent red in the center. To finish the story, a car with J.P.L. and P.G. on board left the camp in response to the call they had received. Unable to communicate with the occupants of the truck, they suspected that something not very nice was happening and accelerated. When they arrived at the scene of the “appearance”, these last ones saw the object sparkling with all its lights, which immediately described a large circle and disappeared like a flash in the firmament. This account of Mr. S.L. is supported by at least five other employees who were witnesses of this apparition. (…) " (February 26, 1974)

Event 35833 (0428672F)

Date: 2/28/1974
Location: FRANCE, Origny en Thiérache.
Description: (Translated from French) At 5:30 the witness left his home on a moped to go to work. He had just crossed the bridge over the Thon and was face to face with “two cosmonauts” and noticed at the same time that he was stopped. The men were about 1.70m tall and wore dark suits. They had a cubic helmet on their head, with an opening in the face area, but in the darkness the witness could not make out anything. They wore gloves covering their arms up to the shoulders. He was astonished as he did not remember braking or stopping. On the left side of the road, in a meadow below at 35m, he could make out a large dark circular mass: there was no light or noise. The two figures, facing the witness, firmly held the handlebars of the moped. The witness was scared, especially as their gestures seemed to urge him to eat something. The witness was panicked. One of the beings made a sign to his companion who started rummaging in a kind of bag he was carrying on his back: he took out a small piece of substance (1 cm²) which he presented to the witness, urging him to eat it. He ate it. It was brown, like chocolate, soft in consistency, without taste. As soon as he had swallowed the material, the figures stepped aside and the witness was able to leave.

Event 35834 (C9B5681E)

Date: 2/28/1974
Location: FRANCE, Châteaugay (Puy de Dôme)
Description: (Translated from French) At 10:17 PM, the witness was watching television when he saw through the window a large row of circular portholes topped at the front by another row of teardrop-shaped portholes, suggesting the curve of a more or less curved surface. The portholes seemed to go all the way around the craft, but this change in shape happened suddenly, all at once. They emitted a fixed light exactly like that of a sodium vapor trail. The witness went outside and heard an unusual sound like the amplitude and frequency modulation of an electric motor whose speed was suddenly changed. The witness wanted to go and inspect the area but his wife held him back. (February 28, 1974)

Event 35835 (59B0A354)

Date: 2/28/1974
Location: BRAZIL, unspecified
Description: (Translated from French) Dirant Mello Ferraz, 18 years old, at his home, suddenly finds himself elsewhere: transported from the kitchen to a small square room without an opening. A voice coming from the ceiling tells him not to be afraid. On the empty wall a door appears and opens to let a large egg-shaped object pass through. From this egg emerges a human: the witness’s double! It has the consistency of human flesh and even has Dirant’s voice, then the double disappears through the wall. A television screen materializes and Dirant sees his double at home: he is being rude to his entourage. From 7:30 PM on February 28th to the next day March 1st at the same time Dirant remains facing his double, not aware of the passing of time, his watch having stopped, fascinated by his double who was crossing the wall. When he was bored, books and magazines materialized. (1974, February 28th to March 1st)

Description: The witness was motorcycling to work in Hirson, France at 5:30 in the morning when his motorcycle stopped suddenly in Origny en Thierache, and he found himself face to face with two beings he described as “cosmonauts” standing in the road. The two men grabbed his motorbike and and held on to it firmly. They were dressed in dark coveralls with square helmets, and sleeve-length gauntlets, but it was too dark to see their features through their helmet visors. They wore sleeve-length gauntlets, and one being gestured to the other, who brought out from a bag on his back a small piece of substance resembling chocolate; this he presented to the witness, urging him by gestures to eat it. The witness did so, but to his surprise it had no noticeable taste. They then moved off and let him pass. About 100 feet to the right side of the road he had saw a large, dark circular mass about six feet high, sitting directly on the ground. , where traces of crushed grass were later found.

Event 35849 (C6B58C2D)

Date: 2/28/1974
Description: In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil a man reported that he was home alone at 7:30 p.m., standing in his kitchen, when he suddenly was transported to a square room with no apparent doors or windows. A loud voice emanated from a box-like device in the corner of the room which told him to remain calm. A door then appeared in the wall across from him, then the door opened and a large dark, oval-shaped “apparatus” emerged. The apparatus came towards him and a yellow light came down from the top of it, illuminating him. From out of the oval-shaped machine emerged a figure that was an exact replica of the witness. This double spoke to the witness and told him that he did not intend to harm him or anybody else. This being then disappeared through one of the walls. A large TV like screen then appeared. The witness could see the actions of his double through this screen and was directed to assist him with his voice. He was finally released and the aliens apparently recalled his double. The aliens told the witness that they were here to help humanity.

Event 35850 (E7B0BF48)

Date: 3/1974
Location: FRANCE, Nogaro
Description: (Translated from French) At around 3:00 in the morning, the witness was driving from Nogaro. He was driving at 90 km/h when the engine of his vehicle stopped on its own. Trembling, the witness saw a being standing there. It was small, about 90 cm, and green in color. Its arms were so long that he couldn’t make out its hands. On the top of its head it had pointed ears. Its eyes were very black. Turning its back to the witness, the being headed towards the ditch and descended into it. Only the upper half of its body remained visible. When it finally looked at the witness, he felt a wave, followed by two more very close together. Scared, the witness looked away. Shortly after, his engine started up again. He turned around and returned to Nogaro, where he arrived without noticing anything unusual. He wouldn’t reveal anything about his adventure until 1977.

Event 35855 (D47F8926)

Date: 3/1974
Locations: Malmstrom AFB Romeo Flight missile alert facility near Brady, Montana; Romeo-29 launch facility
Description: About 9:00 p.m. A missile launch officer with the 564th Strategic Missile Squadron is on watch at the Malmstrom AFB Romeo Flight missile alert facility near Brady, Montana, when both the outer and inner alarms go off. A security alert team arrives and sees a large, brilliantly self-illuminated object hovering above the Romeo-29 launch facility. Suddenly, the missile starts a countdown. The officer quickly flips the inhibit switch, which puts the system offline. Then the system spontaneously restarts and the missile goes into launch mode again, followed by an inhibit order that does not work. But the launch code is false and the missile remains in its pad. Meanwhile, the UFO moves away straight up at high speed. An F-106 interceptor attempts unsuccessfully to reach it, and Malmstrom AFB radar tracks the UFO. Later he learns that the ground electronics in Romeo-29 are fried as if from a surge.

Event 35856 (13130496)

Date: 3/1974
Description: A large self-illuminated object hovers above the Romeo-29 launch facility at the Malmstrom AFB Romeo Flight missile alert facility near Brady, MT. A missile launch officer with the 564th Strategic Missile Squadron reports a nuclear missile countdown is started, and the officer flips the “inhibit” switch to turn the system offline. The system then restarts spontaneously and the missile again goes into launch mode; the officer’s next “inhibit” order doesn’t work. Fortunately, the launch code is false and the missile remains in its pad.

The UAP then moves away from Romeo-29 vertically at high speed. An F-106 attempts to intercept but is unsuccessful and Malmstrom AFB radar tracks the UAP. Electronics in Romeo-29 are fried from an electric surge. This event occurred at a time when the USAF was referring Congress and the American public to the findings of Project Blue Book, which concluded UAP were not a national security threat. The Romeo-29 event very clearly was a threat to national security and nuclear war.

Event 35867 (8362DA8A)

Date: 3/1/1974
Description: A woman and her invalid husband were sitting on their front porch enjoying the spring weather on this afternoon near Millington, Tennessee when something in the sky caught their attention. They saw five saucer-shaped objects about two feet in diameter that moved at a low altitude slowly through the sky. They floated leisurely over a field across the road from their house and settled down in the midst of a herd of cows some five hundred yards away. Only one cow paid any attention to the small discs. It acted offended by the intrusion and turned and walked towards one of the mini UFOs. The object rose up, flew over the cow, and settled down again behind the cow. Each time the cow attempted to approach it would simply rise up, pass over the cow and settle down on the other side. The woman’s husband became upset. He went and got his rifle and started hobbling out toward the field. The wife saw one of the objects fly very close to her husband’s head and then rejoin the others as they flew away. By that time her husband had reached the fence and was standing still. His hands were down at his sides, the rifle clutched in one of them. When she got to him he was icy cold and shivering. All he could say was that one of the objects had “flashed” him with a bright light. She helped him back up to the house and he went inside to lie down on a daybed. He stayed there the rest of the day and said nothing more. The next morning the woman looked out and saw the cow lying dead next to a pond. Two weeks later her husband also died. The doctor said he had died of a heart attack.

Event 35868 (0524E8B2)

Date: 3/1/1974
Description: At eight o’clock in the evening three observers saw a nearby hillside illuminated by a bright yellow light in Vesta Community, Virginia. A red luminous object was then seen ascending from the site. The object, about the size of a Volkswagen, hovered approximately 300 feet above the hill and went through a series of right angle turns, then headed south toward Stuart, Virginia. Billy Wayne Plasters and Richard N. Clifton drove to the landing site by truck and observed the silhouette of a “big, tall, heavyset man” approach from a lighted area. They called out and got no answer. Frightened, they jumped back into their truck and fled. The light on the hillside disappeared a few minutes later. Next day, patches of charred vegetation were found at the site covering a large area. Other people in the vicinity reported seeing strange lights that same night, and hearing unexplained noises.

Event 35881 (8E73DAED)

Date: 3/5/1974
Location: France, Wé
Description: (Translated from French) At 9 pm, Mr. Pasquier and his wife were occupied watching television at a neighbor’s house, Mrs. Lalande. Suddenly their gaze was drawn to the kitchen window by an extraordinary blue light, turning green, yellow, then red. Intrigued, they rushed outside and thus saw a strange “composite” object. It was formed of two balls connected by a kind of blue neon tube. The first ball, orange in color, was bigger than the following green one. The object ended with a kind of shadow sprinkled with small colored dots. The craft moved silently at a constant speed (approx. 80 km/h) at a relative altitude of 25 to 100 meters and at a distance of about 150 meters from the witnesses. The length of the object was estimated at 2 or 3 meters. The observation ended with the disappearance of the object behind buildings.

A few moments later the witness saw the object slowly rise and take on the successive shapes of a crescent and then a ball (the size of a tractor wheel). No sound.

Event 35896 (C3FC234D)

Date: 3/8/1974
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. D. was driving his 2CV between 12:30 and 1:00 in the Tarbes region. He was surprised by a red light: I saw on my right (…) about 400 or 500 m away a red-orange ball the size of the sun. I think this ball was quite high above the ground, without being able to specify. It was moving north towards Rabasten while getting closer to my car. (…) This ball was for a moment facing my vehicle. (…) At that moment, it took on a more oval shape, like a rugby ball. This ball was so bright, in front and around me, that I could see as if it were broad daylight. While it was at the height of my car, it no longer pulled, it had misfires, it did not move despite my acceleration - and this over a distance of at least fifty meters. When this ball so to speak turned in front of me on the national 21 (N 21), it had lost some altitude while still keeping the same color, but this ball was becoming bigger and bigger, that is to say it must have reached 2 m in diameter. I did not hear any noise (…). I was very scared. (…) I add that (…) I saw a second one, smaller, of a bright red. It was roughly at the same height as the first one. From these balls came a very powerful light and rays that blinded me. Mr. D.'s eyes will be red and tearful for 2 days. Several witnesses saw that night in the region powerful lights or luminous balls. (0 h 45)

Event 35899 (224462BC)

Date: 3/9/1974
Location: USA, Duxbury, Mass.
Description: (Translated from French) Early in the morning, this woman, not disposed to believe in UFOs, saw a pulsing red light at the height of the treetops, from which two beams emerged that crossed her car from side to side, immobilizing the engine and producing interference on the on-board radio. Shortly after, she received a telepathic message, telling her to go on a certain road, which she did. Again her engine stalled and the radio emitted strange noises. But this time she saw four small humanoids, quickly coming towards her, each in a small vehicle resembling a garden tiller, but moving quickly just above the ground. One of the entities approached the car and telepathically asked her to open the door. But when she opened one of the doors, all four opened wide at the same time. The entity examined the woman’s neck, applying a small device that left five puncture marks. She was told that thousands of their vessels had already visited the Earth for years. Nearby was their mothership, while their planet of origin was called “Omnius” or “Omnigus.” They added that they had examined thousands of people, but not all had done so voluntarily. She was not to touch the entities to prevent any contamination. She was also told that she might have terrible headaches for several weeks after the contact. The entities measured between 1m20 and 1m40, and wore helmets that masked their features. However, small eyes could be seen shining. They wore uniforms and a belt with a symbol made of wavy vertical lines.

Date: 3/15/1974
Description: At 1:45 a.m. a man and his fiancé were in a parked car on a road near the shore in Erbalunga, Corsica, France when he looked up and saw on the roadside bank, only 10 feet from their car, the silhouettes of three persons with long arms, bending forward. They appeared “smooth” and no clothing was seen. The witness at once backed up and got out of the road; then his fiancé called his attention to a pyramid-shaped luminous object which was just taking off from a spot about 400 feet away. It had a brilliant yellow base separated by a black band from an orange point area; the point was directed diagonally downwards. Once the object was in the air it suddenly disappeared. The car’s radio went out as the object took off. A search the next day found no traces.

He remembered that the “aliens” told him not to be afraid, and that someday they would be back. He could not recall anything else.

It advanced to within 10 meters of the road and then, seconds later, he saw the silhouette of a human looking being more than 2 meters tall next to the road. The being appeared to be wearing a diver suit from which projected a bright, cylindrical, solid like coherent beam of light from the front part of the collar. The light could lengthen and shrink. As the car passed by the entity the engine began to fail and the automobile was “shaking like a leaf” in a very strong wind. The witness sped up and, in fear, quickly left the site.

Event 35944 (77F78903)

Date: 3/20/1974
Location: SPAIN, between Horcajo and Lagunilla
Description: (Translated from French) On the night of March 20, Maximiliano Sanchez was driving his truck when he noticed a very bright light in the middle of the road, about 600 m ahead of him (…) completely blinded, Sanchez was forced to stop on the side of the road. The light eventually dimmed and Sanchez was able to continue in his direction, but when he was only about 200 m away, his headlights went out and his engine stopped. He then discovered that he had a magnificent flying saucer in front of him, about 12 meters in diameter, silver metallic in color, perfectly smooth, without any rivets or openings, resting on three rounded feet and lit from below. He then saw a second saucer that remained stationary in flight like a helicopter, above and to the right of the first. Two creatures of human appearance wearing shiny suits were making gestures (…) and seeing Sanchez’s truck, they got back into the saucer which rose about ten meters, placing itself next to the other craft at the same height. Seeing that the road was clear and his headlights were on, Sanchez tried to start the engine which turned on the first try. (…) he stopped, turned off his headlights, got out of the truck to see what was going to happen. The first saucer had descended to the ground. (…) scared, Sanchez went home. (…) The next day, March 21, he went to Lagunilla and arrived there around 11:15 pm. (…) Instead of two, there were now three saucers, one of them on the road and four humanoids. (…) [note from vog: same scenario with slight variations, and to my knowledge Spanish ufologists do not talk about this extraordinary observation]

Event 35949 (AEDB14B7)

Date: 3/20/1974
Description: Becky Ingram, age 14, heard “voices” in her head several times beginning on March 9th. On this afternoon she compulsively walked out into the center of her school football field in Lewisburg, Tennessee instead of taking the school bus home. Although she recalls seeing nothing in the field, she next remembers finding herself inside a brightly lit room as a ramped door closed behind her. She was confronted by two small humanoid entities, shorter than her. They had blond, short cropped hair and later identified themselves as “Alton” and “Tombo.” Becky was instructed to lie on a hospital-like bed where she was examined by a gloved implement that was passed over her. She was taken for an hour’s trip “to Australia” and then returned. She felt weak and sleepy, and for several weeks after this incident she was extremely fatigued and suffered from headaches and other physical symptoms. She had two more experiences over the next four months.

Description: Truck driver Maximiliano Iglesias Sanchez, age 21, was driving to Algunilla, Spain when he encountered a blinding white light on the road near Valdehijaderos at 2;15 a.m. When he was a distance of 200 meters from the source of the light, his car headlights and diesel engine went out. The 8 meter wide metallic UFO, now only faintly luminous, stood of three half-meter long legs, was wider than the road and had no visible openings. A second non luminous object hovered some 16 meters above the ground to the right. Two beings appeared in front of the landed object, and they gestured with their arms. One went around the side of the UFO and returned, then both disappeared to the right side and the object ascended making a humming sound. The figures were human looking, 6 feet tall, and wore tight fitting coverall type garments with a metallic hue. They appeared to walk and move in a normal manner. Mr. Sanchez was unable to make out any facial features. After he passed the site he looked back and saw that one object had landed again on the road.

Event 35954 (B4D36D5F)

Date: 3/21/1974
Description: Valdehijaderos, Spain - At 11:30 p.m. Mr. Sanchez had a second encounter less than 24 hours after his first close encounter, near the same site. Driving the same truck, he encountered three “ships” on the ground, and again his motor and lights malfunctioned. As before there were no openings in the UFO, but he saw four men approach him on the road. He got out and ran, and the figures pursued him. After running nearly 2 kilometers he threw himself into an irrigation ditch and hid as the four men searched the area, but they were unable to find him. After waiting a safe period of time, he cautiously returned to his truck. The three objects were still there, and his engine would not start. When he got into the cab and closed the door the same four figures re-appeared, gesturing to each other. They walked around the object and disappeared and it rose off the ground slowly with a humming or whistling sound. The truck then started normally. After passing the site, Mr. Sanchez saw that the third object had again landed and he stopped and returned on foot, hiding about 9 meters away. He saw the figures digging into the roadside with a T-shaped implement and a large horseshoe shaped tool. He could still make out no facial features. After 3 minutes he left. A few days later UFO investigators found radioactive traces and three 12-meter wide circles of flattened grass in the area. Civil guard officers also found traces.

Event 35973 (1B526778)

Date: 3/23/1974
Locations: Markim, Stockholm County, Sweden; Lindholmen, Vallentuna; Danderyds Hospital
Description: Night. A young man (pseudonym Harald Andersson) comes out of the parish house in Markim, Stockholm County, Sweden, when he hears a voice in his head telling him to follow a dark forest road. Just after passing a small cottage, he sees two runestones by the side of the path. Suddenly a blinding light knocks him to the ground where he lies unconscious for a while, then wakes up on the doorstep of his villa in Lindholmen, Vallentuna. His wife, disturbed by his condition (bleeding from his forehead and a burn on his cheek), takes him to Danderyds Hospital where hypnotherapist Ture Arvidsson regresses him to the time of the incident (twice, on April 1 and May 20). He discovers that a beam of light has floated him up into the air while tall, hooded figures touch his head with an unknown device, saying they will meet again in the future. Extraordinary abilities follow, including his ability to disrupt a compass needle, see vibrant auras, and premonitions. The incident is apparently witnessed by another man a short distance away. The Swedish Home Guard assigns 50 of its personnel to work with 15 ufologists to examine the region. The group reports a few odd lights in the sky.

Event 35974 (35154E1B)

Date: 3/23/1974
Locations: Albiosc, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France; Tavernes, Var
Description: 11:30 p.m. A French doctor allegedly photographs an odd object near Albiosc, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France. The color image shows a red object like a domed disc and four bright, beamlike extensions. UFO investigator Jean Bedet receives the slide anonymously on April 14, with a note pinned to his car windshield when he is visiting the town of Tavernes, Var. Bedet says his wife and others had seen a similar object at 11:00 p.m. the same night. The consensus among researchers in France is that the photo is a hoax perpetrated by Bedet to confirm the visual sighting.

Event 35975 (FB206FCF)

Date: 3/23/1974
Description: At 12:20 a.m. a middle-aged man named Vallentuna was walking home in Lindholmen, Sweden when at a crossroads he mysteriously felt compelled to take an alternate route. Suddenly a brilliant light blinded him. He threw himself in the snow but something lifted him up to a height of 30 to 45 feet. He next found himself at home with no recollection of how he got there. Under hypnosis he recalled seeing four “transparent” beings who had grabbed him, and he then was apparently studied by these beings inside a UFO. He suffered from severe shock after the incident.

Event 35976 (F28E4775)

Date: 3/23/1974
Description: On this night a young man known as “Anders” was walking along a dark road in Gustavslund outside Stockholm, Sweden when he heard a voice in his head instructing him to cross the road. Next a blinding light knocked him to the ground, where he lay unconscious until he came to, on his own doorsteps. His wife, disturbed by his condition and baffled by a mysterious burn on the side of his face, sent him to the local Danderyds Hospital. There hypno-therapist Dr. Ture Arvidsson put him under a hypnotic trance and regressed him to the time of the incident. He related how a beam of light had floated him up into the air, then some tall hooded figures touched his head with somekind of unknown device, saying that they would meet him again in the future.

Event 35977 (FCA96069)

Date: 3/24/1974
Location: FRANCE, Thérines: Clévrau and Taupin woods (Oise)
Description: (Translated from French) During an observation evening, Mr. Bréchant and his brother-in-law Mr. Cosme, and the child Patrice Bréchant, 11 years old, observed with the naked eye and binoculars: A white luminous ball on the ground, whose contours gradually became red. To the right of this ball, a series of 4 to 6 rectangles of a violent white light illuminated. With the binoculars, Mr. Cosme observed a luminous ball which projected from its base a triangular luminous beam, base coming from under the ball, point oriented towards the witnesses. Mr. Cosme observed with the binoculars two luminous silhouettes, stiff, seeming formed of two blocks and disproportionate: elongated head, too small for enormously wide shoulders. One of the silhouettes was behind the triangular beam projected by the white ball, the other slid on the beam towards the point and disappeared into the night. The one that remained near the sphere had on the left a kind of satchel, it gradually diminished as if it was collapsing and completely disappeared. The beam then went out and then the ball. They left and after 10 minutes observed through the back window, a white-yellowish luminous ball at the height of the trees which followed the car and according to the sinuosities was seen sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left. It approached very quickly taking 6 to 10 times its volume and a yellow-green color. The UFO hunters chased found the road to Beauvais and quickly returned to their home.

Event 35995 (0F14D4D6)

Date: 3/26/1974
Location: Valdehijaderos, Salamanca, Spain
Description: 2:00 a.m. Truck driver Maximiliano Iglesias sees a strange object like a plate placed above another large, round object hovering above the highway in Valdehijaderos, Salamanca, Spain, 650 feet away. Another object is 60 feet away. Two beings come out of the first UFO, point to the truck, then go in again. Both objects fly away. At 11:30 p.m., the same witness watches three silver ships parked on the highway with a floodlight. He stops his engine as some figures approach. He runs and they follow. They are about 6.5 feet tall, with arms and legs, but he cannot see their faces. On March 27, the Guardia Civil investigate and find a hole in the ground.

Event 35996 (28B86085)

Date: 3/26/1974
Description: A truck driver was driving in Valdehijaderos, Spain at 2:00 a.m. when he spotted a strange luminous object like a plate placed above another large, round object hovering motionless over the highway about 200 meters from the him. A similar object, also motionless, was seen 15-20 meters away. Two beings came out of the first vehicle, pointed to the observer’s truck, then went inside again, and both vehicles flew away. At 11:30 p.m. the same witness witnessed “three silver ships parked on the highway with light similar to floodlight.” The observer stopped the motor of his car and some figures approached him. He ran, frightened, and they followed him. They were about two meters tall (6.5 feet). The next day the Guardia Civil made an investigation. They found a hole in the ground, which the truck driver said he had not made.

Event 36000 (ADDE5567)

Date: 3/27/1974
Locations: Fort George Island, Florida; Jacksonville, Florida
Description: Antoine, Jerri, and Terry Betz investigate a small brush fire near their residence on Fort George Island, Florida, and come across a metal sphere the size of a bowling ball and weighing 22 pounds. They think the sphere could be a 16th-century cannonball and decide to take it home. Several days later, while Terry is playing the guitar, the sphere seems to react to the music and makes a throbbing noise. Later, the sphere rolls and stops on its own and changes direction. The sphere makes a noise when hit with a hammer, and Terry finds that it moves after being shaken and placed on the ground. In 2012, an analysis by Skeptoid indicates that the sphere is a ball check valve produced by the Bell & Howell company. Its size, weight, and metallurgical composition match those of the company’s check valves. The ball is almost perfectly balanced, and it takes only a small stimulus to make it move or change direction. New Mexico artist James Durling-Jones, who collects scrap metal for his sculptures, remembers loading ball check valves into the rooftop luggage rack of his Volkswagen van and driving through the Jacksonville, Florida, area around Easter of 1971. A few of the balls rolled off the luggage rack and were not retrieved. Skeptoid concludes that this is the sphere’s origin.

Location: Lomé, Togo
Description: 1:45 a.m. A French vacationer and a local female friend are lying on a sloping beach near Lomé, Togo, when they hear a high-pitched whine and see an unlighted cylindrical object above the ocean. It heads toward them on a level flight path until it gets to 500 feet away. It stops, and within moments a tidal wave washes over the two witnesses. Wave after wave crash over them as they hold onto a nearby tree. The UFO emits powerful beams of light, and the Frenchman can see the waters parting in a deep trough. They remain paralyzed for 20 minutes until the UFO turns off its lights and flies out to sea. The water surface returns to normal. Over the next few days, the man feels strangely exhausted and has a ringing in his ears.

Date: 3/31/1974
Location: FRANCE, Valensole
Description: (Translated from French) At 8:00 PM the witness was escorting a friend with his wife and son. In the heart of the Valensole plateau he saw an object on or very close to the ground. This device in the shape of a small car was lit from the inside where shapes seemed to move. (vog: ??? a small car on the ground is therefore a UFO?) Very familiar with the night and day landscape, this phenomenon seemed very unusual to him; Back in Valensole at 8:15 PM he no longer saw anything. But from his in-laws’ house, he could see the object again. With his wife and son he could get as close as 500 or 800m, stopping his car 2 km from Valensole, on the road to Manosque and walking along a dirt path leading to the fields. He could not go any further in the night. It was 8:30 PM.

Event 36023 (8D8DBE56)

Date: 4/1974
Location: Frimley, Surrey, England
Description: A woman military staffer at the GEC-Marconi contracting company in Frimley, Surrey, England, learns that a break-in has occurred the previous night. A guard suffers a nervous breakdown, is taken to an unnamed hospital, and is not seen again. Later, she hears a discussion in her supervisor’s office and describes it to Nick Redfern: “We have no way of keeping these beings out. We just don’t know what to do next. If they can get in here, they can get in anywhere.” She learns that the guard had seen an alien sifting through files and papers. A blue light emanated from its helmet, and the being dematerialized before the guard’s eyes.

Event 36024 (1BC706A9)

Date: 4/1974
Locations: Incirlik Air Base; Adana; Turkey
Description: 3:00 a.m. A staff sergeant assigned to the 355th Security Police Squadron stationed at Incirlik Air Base, Adana, Turkey, witnesses a white, glowing UFO hovering silently over the nuclear storage area about 500 feet above the ground for one hour. It appears to be the size of a Volkswagen. At 4:00 a.m., the UFO suddenly and silently accelerates toward the city. The witness sees the object from the Security Police dormitory about 2 miles away. The next day, other security personnel tell him that the only measures taken are “to set up their M-60 machine guns, and that they were not to fire on the object unless it initiated a hostile act.”

Event 36025 (F7E9C432)

Date: 4/1974
Description: An employee at government contractor GEC-Marconi claims a break-in occurred one night that month. A guard on duty allegedly suffers a nervous breakdown after claiming to see a non-human being in the secure facility looking through files. A blue light emanated from its helmet and it dematerialized before the guard’s eyes. The employee overhears her supervisor say “We have no way of keeping these beings out. We just don’t know what to do next. If they can get in here, they can get in anywhere.” It is unknown if this event was investigated by British or U.S. authorities considering GEC-Marconi was a key contractor for the USG’s Strategic Defense Initiative “Star Wars program” over the next decade.

Event 36032 (A8613B67)

Date: Early 4/1974
Locations: east Hancock County, Ohio; Findlay, Ohio
Description: A couple driving on a country road in east Hancock County, Ohio, spot a low light in the northeastern sky. They drive toward it, but it shoots up into the air so they can see its underside. As the man alerts people to the object on his CB radio, he sees the object lower a box, seemingly to take samples. Then the object approaches the couple and they drive away quickly, but it follows them for 47 miles. At 2:15 a.m., they pull into a Wigwam restaurant, where a man rushes up to them and asks them, “What did you see in the sky?” He denies having a CB radio, and talks in a strangely slow and choppy manner. The man continues to bother them, so they drive away from the Wigwam. Soon they are followed by some strange lights and an orange ball. They stop the car where the road ends and see a “little man on a little black object.” The lights follow them all the way home to Findlay, Ohio.

Event 36046 (CDAD71D9)

Date: 4/11/1974
Location: GERMANY, Hochheim (near Frankfurt)
Description: (Translated from French) (Case No.: 19740411 A) At 2 o’clock in the morning, four people in a car, including Karl Heinz N., observed a disc-shaped object at a short distance and low altitude which emitted a beam from some kind of projector. The beam gradually widened, then retracted back into the projector. Suddenly, the beam was emitted directly into the car after which it retracted back into the object’s projector. It was like a “solid” light. After this outburst, the flying object accelerated and disappeared into the clouds. While the witnesses thought they had observed the phenomenon for a quarter of an hour, two full hours had actually passed.

Description: (Translated from French) At around 1:00 AM, Mauro Bellingeri and his wife Carla Farè were returning home in their car when they saw a luminous object that stopped about 12 or 13 meters above the roof of their house. They stayed near the car and observed it for a few minutes. It was absolutely silent and motionless. There was a round cabin and they noticed the presence of 3 or maybe 4 helmeted beings inside and something near their mouths like a muzzle (sic!). One of the helmets turned towards the witnesses and at that moment there were 4 or 5 jets of flames under the craft. Carla ran towards the house. Around the cabin there was another separate disc with small red, green and yellow lights that were spinning slowly. There was a kind of air displacement. The UFO started to move when this outer disc began to spin faster, a whistling sound was heard, and it headed towards Milan.

Date: 4/16/1974
Location: Santa Maria del Tempio, Alessandrino, Italy
Description: 12:50 a.m. Mauro Bellingeri, 26, and his wife Carla Farè, 23, are returning to their villa in Santa Maria del Tempio, Alessandrino, Italy, when they notice a bright object that dives abruptly toward them, stopping at a height of 40 feet above the villa. The Bellingeris get out of the car to look at the motionless object. It has a transparent dome and a central ring of revolving red, green, and yellow lights. Inside the dome are three human- like beings with large, round, opaque, grayish helmets. At the base of the headgear is a hoselike apparatus. One being turns in their direction, then moves back. All three beings then rotate in unison. At this point, 3–4 jets of flame appear beneath the craft, the central portion begins to revolve rapidly, and they hear a whistling sound and feel a blast of air. The UFO speeds away, continuing to whistle.

Event 36087 (03AE4458)

Date: 4/16/1974
Description: At around 12:50 a.m. a classic Italian CE-III case that has defied explanation occurred in Santa Maria del Tempio, Casale Monferrato, Piemonte district, Italy. Mauro Bellingeri and his wife had just arrived home when a luminous disc-shaped object came out of the sky at them, and then stopped over their house 40 feet up. The craft had a central ring of revolving red, green, and yellow lights that revolved around the cabin. The object made no sound as it hovered there. The couple could see a round, clear, dome-shaped cabin on the upper portion of the object that was 30 feet wide and six feet high. Inside the cabin there were three seated beings who were visible, wearing fishbowl or globe-shaped helmets. After several minutes of just hanging silently in the sky, 4-5 jets of flame were emitted from the underside of the craft, and the outer rim began to turn more rapidly. The object started making a whistling sound. With a strong blast of air that nearly knocked the witnesses down, the object then took off and flew away.

Event 36092 (EBA69EE0)

Date: 4/19/1974
Location: Altamont, New York
Description: About 9:30 p.m. Ruth Currie and her daughter Laurie see a bright light that seems to be only several hundred feet from their house in Altamont, New York. Curious, they walk toward it until they are within about 200 feet. An oval object is resting on the roadway. It appears to have large windows in the top half, from which comes a brilliant golden glow. Changes of contrast in this light give them the impression that something is moving around within. Currie sends her daughter to get a neighbor, Rose Curtis, and they return shortly. Currie then retreats to her home and phones her husband, who drops what he is doing and hurries over. He can see an object rising up. It shifts speeds and accelerates out of sight. During the bulk of this encounter, the neighborhood dogs are putting up a continuous volley of barking. The next morning, the witnesses get together and go to the site, where they find an area of burned grass 50–75 feet in diameter.

Event 36098 (0C763675)

Date: 4/21/1974
Location: FRANCE, Hostum (Drôme)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 1 o’clock in the morning, Anne Ruchon returns from the ball with her fiancé Jean Louis Rimet. They are in a car. Suddenly they see a yellow mass emerge, which descends quickly and lands in a meadow about 500 m away at the place called “Les Lydes”. “We felt a strange feeling. After 2 to 3 minutes the light disappeared and we saw four night lights: three yellow and one red. The silhouette of the device was cut out like a kind of disk topped with a milky dome. For a few seconds I was able to see three shadows moving inside. Then this part went out too. At this moment a powerful spotlight came on and began to sweep the horizon in complete rotations, sometimes stopping in one direction. We heard a faint humming like that of an engine at idle. At one point the spotlight stopped in our direction. We were scared and left without waiting any longer.” When she arrived home Anne woke up her parents so they could watch the show, perfectly visible from the house. The spotlight illuminates a house located about 2 km away. After observing it for an hour, the witnesses go to bed. Anne has pain in her eyes and can’t fall asleep. (GARREAU and LAVIER: “Face aux extra-terrestres” - DELARGE 1975 - J’ai Lu, p. 67) IN REALITY: The farmer, Mr. Juven, late in his work, sowed corn from 8:30 pm to 3 o’clock in the morning. The witnesses will have seen his tractor in operation.

Description: At 12:20 a.m. in Gosselies, Hainaut, Belgium a 10-meter diameter glowing metallic ovoid object halted at 100 meters altitude, made a loud noise, then zig-zagged away. There were two witnesses named Vanderclausen. Four minutes later a loud wailing sound was heard in Jumet, Belgium and a green, 11-meter orb was seen hovering by three witnesses. It shot away to the south. It was back again at 12:30 a.m., then it moved off quickly to the southeast. At 12:30 in Loverval a domed disc-shaped object emitted a sound like American police sirens as it had a close encounter with four witnesses; it flew off to the east. At the same time in Marcinelle, Belgium 11 witnesses, including a 16-year old teenager who was the main witness, watched as a small gray disc with a 40 cm thick base and a three meter high dome oscillated slightly at a distance of only 30 meters. The craft had ten equally spaced windows, which alternated yellow-green and red in color. Half of the dome was illuminated. It too emitted a siren sound.

He said that a light appeared at around 11:30 p.m. just before he crossed a bridge while driving between Catanduva and Julio de Mesquita, Sao Paulo, Brazil. In fact, his car was found there. Under hypnosis he revealed that he had been taken aboard a UFO and been given a physical exam, but he resisted giving any further details except to say that a tall, fair-haired and blue-eyed young man was one of the aliens. The man was described as about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a small nose and small ears. He revealed that this was actually his second UFO encounter, because he had given a ride to this same individual previously on the night of his first encounter.

Description: At shortly before 10:00 p.m. in Altamont, New York a young girl looked out a window of the nursing home where her mother worked and saw what looked like a car parked on a hillside. She told her mother who also looked out. They thought it might have been a car accident at first since they saw red lights. There appeared to be a golden glow coming from the object. The two left the building to get a closer look. Neighborhood dogs were barking and horses in a field were also making noise. As they got closer they could see a huge oval-shaped object resting on a road. It had a rounded window on top that emanated a golden glow, and the red lights were coming from the front and rear of the craft. They then noticed an indistinct “egg-shaped” figure moving around inside the craft. Another employee of the nursing home and the woman’s husband also witnessed the object when he came to pick them up. The UFO rose up into the sky and disappeared quickly into the dark sky. There was a large burned area 60 feet in diameter at the landing site.

Description: 2:00 a.m. Iuliu Marian and his wife wake up abruptly in their home in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Outside they see a bell-shaped object or silhouette with a light tube in the center that seems to be waiting for them. Marian grabs a sports sword he keeps under the bed and goes outside, but the object is already moving away. He follows it around a corner of the house and the object is nowhere to be seen. Marian senses the object is still there somehow because he feels some kind of force field. Against his will he returns to his bedroom, the forcefield disappears, and he goes right back to sleep.

Description: 3:30 a.m. US Army Pfc R. Jack Phillips is assigned to the 193rd Military Police Battalion guarding Area 3 of an Army Ordnance Depot [now returned to Germany] where surface-to-surface Pershing missiles are stored near Fischbach bei Dahn, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Suddenly waking up, he watches an extremely bright star above him for about 15 seconds. Suddenly it approaches very quickly and hovers just beyond the depot fence line about 300 feet away. The light now looks like a domed disc about 60 feet in diameter with a concave indentation on its underside. It is covered in a greenish glow and completely silent. After 5 seconds the object gets much brighter for a second then dims again. The security lights in the complex go out. Phillips tries to report this, but his field phone is out. The backup generators fail to turn on. Some 30 seconds later, the object takes off so swiftly that he can’t tell in which direction it leaves. The lights come back on and all the bunker alarms go off. A roving unit needs to come by to reset all the alarms manually. Phillips admits that most of the guards sleep on duty, and that is probably why no one else has seen the object.

Sr. Faria ran for his uncle’s house, only 20 meters away, and succeeded in reaching it. The little man wore no helmet, and had muscular arms. In February 1973 Faria had seen a luminous, ring shaped UFO hovering low over his uncle’s garden, and on March 11 of that same year had been seized by a creature while returning from the bathhouse in the garden, and encounter that left claw markson his upper arms. These marks remained for eight months.

Event 36135 (1305F6E2)

Date: 5/5/1974
Locations: Lincolnshire, Illinois; Coatesville, Pennsylvania
Description: 5:30 p.m. David Dorn and Troy Warton, both 11, leave home in Lincolnshire, Illinois, to play basketball. As they walk down the street, they notice a dark object in the western sky. It comes closer, drops to a height just above the treetops, hovers slightly, then rises up and disappears. David has a new camera and he snaps six photos with his Kodak X-15 camera. The color pictures reveal a distinct dark object in the clouds and over the trees. Unfortunately, he discards the negatives. (“Boy’s New Camera Records UFO,” CUFOS Associate Newsletter 1, no. 5 (September 1980): 1) May 7 (possibly 1973) — 9:00 p.m. Margaret K. Roffe, nurse’s aide at the Coatesville (Pennsylvania) Veterans Administration Hospital, hears tree branches swishing and swaying nearby and sees a UFO descend and land on the roof of Building no. 1 about 150 feet away. Four silver-colored legs emerge from the object, followed by a ramp with steps. Three small figures climb down backwards. They are speaking to each other in high, squeaky voices that sound like “so many birds.” She says “The being nearest the edge of the roof had a very elongated head, grayish=looking skin, arms that extended well below his knees, and what looked like long claws instead of fingers. His legs appeared rather short.” He is bald and looks old. The scene is well lit by an illuminated dome on the roof of the building. When one of the entities notices the witness, they reenter the object, which takes off slowly over the trees, which are again violently agitated. The legs withdraw as it takes off.

Date: 5/5/1974
Description: At around 7 p.m. Ms. Becky Ingram was driving alone on a country road on Pisgah Ridge, Tennessee when she heard her nickname called (“Tomboy”) and was telepathically directed to a nearby field. There she saw a 100-foot long, football-shaped UFO on the ground. In an open doorway, with a ramp extending to the ground, stood two beings named “Alton” and “Tombo” that she had met on a previous encounter, who invited her onboard. She greeted them with a handshake and entered. Inside she saw five or six more humanoid beings seated around a table, eating. She declined an invitation to join them. They spoke in an incomprehensible language. She declined an invitation for another ride, explaining that her family was expecting her. She noticed that this time both Alton and Tombo walked without bending their knees.

Date: 5/7/1974
Description: Mrs. Margaret K. Roffe, a nurse’s aide at the local Veterans Administration Hospital in Coatesville, Pennsylvania was walking from one hospital building to another at around 9 p.m. when she heard a swishing sound and saw a disc-shaped object descend and land on the roof of Building #1. Four silver-colored legs emerged from the object just before the object landed, and a ramp came down out of the bottom of the craft. Three gray-skinned humanoid occupants emerged from the craft by climbing down the ramp backwards. They were all less than five feet tall and had long, large bald heads and arms with clawed hands; their legs were short. They spoke an unintelligible language among themselves in high, squeaky voices. She was able to see their features well because the area was well lit by an illuminated dome on the roof of the building. When the beings noticed her they re-entered the object. The object then took off slowly, making a swishing sound, and passed over some nearby trees, which were shaken violently when the craft flew over. The legs withdrew into the object as it took off.

The object approached and hovered over their vehicle giving off heat. All the passengers inside except for the principal witness became sick and passed out. He then felt as if he was being drawn upwards and also passed out. He next became aware of a bright white light around him and several figures looking down at him. The beings called him by his name, and then he passed out again. The aliens were described as five feet tall, with light skin, huge almond shaped eyes, and a small lower jaw. They were also apparently very strong. The man believes that his aging process had slowed down subsequent to the abduction. On the same night in nearby Evansville, Indiana a Mr. Oscar Jordan had a close encounter of the first kind with a UFO.

Event 36151 (C8D24B11)

Date: 5/11/1974
Description: At around 8:45 p.m. Barry King and Ian Vinten in Chingford, Essex, England observed a figure in the distance resembling a woman with long white hair, a featureless face, who was wearing a long black dress . They took out some binoculars and watched her stand perfectly still for 10 minutes as a second black-gowned figure moved among some nearby trees. The woman figure, then the second figure, vanished from view. Next, the first figure re-appeared 50 yards away from its original position and stood motionless again for 10 minutes before vanishing once again from sight. Upon returning to the site at 9:35 p.m., King and Vinten again saw through binoculars two more figures, this time dressed in white. One was motionless, the other was “darting about making very quick movements,” but showing no leg movements, as if gliding rather than running. At this point a red lighted UFO was seen rising slowly over the treetops in the same direction. After five minutes it moved off, passing almost directly over the witnesses, making a “weird throbbing, similar to a ship’s sonar.” It had a central white light and two blinking lights near the edge, as well as a vertically revolving bluish light around the center. It displayed a central red light and two blinking white lights as it moved off.

Event 36168 (FE4B390B)

Date: 5/20/1974
Location: USA, Hampton (New Hampshire)
Description: (Translated from French) Around midnight the witness was swimming alone near the beach. Suddenly he saw a disc-shaped object approaching parallel to the ocean and descending vertically to the ground. The craft had a diameter of 15 to 18 m, was biconvex in shape, and on each face a circular edge occupied the center. It was equipped with several lights, and was resting on four feet ending in a kind of tuft. It emitted a buzzing sound and gave off heat. After a few minutes a hatch lowered on the underside as if it were pivoting around a hinge. An electric motor noise then dominated the buzzing. Through the slope created by the opening, an occupant emerged: “humidity emanated from the occupant” at the time of his exit and extended up to 70 or 80 m. He was at least 1.8 m tall, and a garment covered his entire body, including his head. The garment was voluminous, tubes coming from the back of the maxillae joined behind the neck and descended along the back. He only took a few steps on the beach before re-entering the craft, whose door closed and then took off in the direction from which it had come. The witness could not specify whether his observation lasted 20 or 60 minutes. After the departure, the witness examined the landing site with a flashlight: in the hollow of the feet there was a pink paste, in which there was a thick liquid. At dawn the tide had leveled it all out.

Description: 7:00 p.m. A baker named Le Meur, with his wife and two children, is traveling on a small road toward Landévennec, Finistère, France, when they notice a powerful light ahead at ground level. It consists of a string of 7–8 spheres, each about one foot in diameter and arranged horizontally, about 3 feet above the road. Le Meur turns around and heads to the local Gendarmerie station in Telgruc-sur-Mer to report it. The police examine the site the next day and find a patch of ferns that appear abnormally wilted. They collect some plant and soil samples and send them to a lab in Paris for analysis. The wilted, brown ferns are found to be without chlorophyll and an unknown element (indicating pheophytins associated with the degradation of chlorophyll) shows up in the chromatography in ultraviolet light.

Event 36174 (B3ECFD41)

Date: 5/20/1974
Description: A young man of 20 was swimming at 12:30 a.m. at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire when he saw a domed disc-shaped object approach from the ocean. It landed on the beach about 80 yards away. It had a domed bulge above and below the central rim, and was about 50 feet in diameter. It stood on four legs and had several lights on the main body of the object. It also gave off heat and emitted a humming or pulsating sound. A hatch folded down and a ramp slid out, and a motor like noise was now also audible. A six-foot tall occupant emerged down the ramp, dressed in a head-to-foot light-colored coverall. Two hoses ran from the chin area to behind the head, with one hose running down the back. The figure stepped out briefly onto the sand and then re-entered the object, which ascended and moved off out to sea. The man searched the landing site and found a “deep, rose colored paste and thick liquid” in the four, deep landing marks. He also found a spot of red where the hatch had opened. Traces had been obliterated by the tide the following morning, before the investigator could gather samples. The landing site is not far from an outflow vent that would later be built for the Seabrook nuclear reactor.

Event 36189 (EC9AE7EC)

Date: 5/26/1974
Location: USA, Mitchell Caverns, California.
Description: (Translated from French) This witness had already observed several UFOs in the past. One night, he was woken up in his caravan by a buzzing and pulsating lights. He tried to call his family, but had no voice and felt paralyzed. He saw four toothed lights, red, orange, yellow and blue-green. The next morning he woke up two hours later than usual, with bloodshot eyes and feeling pain all over his body. He had the feeling of having been inside a UFO, but his memory refused to restore the details. Later, under hypnosis, he remembered better, and spoke of a row of gyroscopes along a partition. The toothed lights dynamized them to form an artificial gravity field. He had seen eight men of normal appearance. Seven of them were dressed in brown metallic fabric uniforms, the eighth wore a light blue work outfit. He saw on a screen a close-up view of the planet Saturn, there was a control panel and three reclining chairs. The entities examined his eyes with a magnifying glass, telling him to expect other contacts.

Description: Joseph Susedik was asleep in his camper with his wife and two small children in the pre-dawn hours near Mitchell Caverns, California when he was awakened by a humming sound and a pulsating light that reflected on the inside of the camper wall. He tried to call out to his wife and children but was immobilized. He saw “pinwheels of odd-shaped colored lights,” that were red, orange, yellow and blue-green in color but could not recall any further conscious details. He awoke two hours later than usual that morning with bloodshot eyes and body aches. He had vague impressions of having been inside a craft but could not recall any specific. He remembered that he had observed a UFO earlier that evening with other family members.

Later under hypnosis the witness recalled being inside a UFO and described a row of gyroscopes along an inner wall. “Pinwheels” of light energized the gyroscopes to form an “artificial gravity field.” He described a crew of eight men, seven of whom wore maroon “foil type uniforms” and one wore a pale blue uniform. One of his examiners looked at his eyes through a magnifying glass. He also saw a "nebulae in various colors showing concentrations of metals and minerals, a color image close up of Saturn displayed on a coil edged screen, and three black reclining style high backed chairs at a control panel. After this incident he claims to have become a prolific inventor.

Event 36191 (37366184)

Date: 5/26/1974
Description: At 10 pm. Mr. A. Rias, a stonemason, was listening to his radio in his small cabin in the middle of a field in Les Nourradons, Var, France when static suddenly erupted on the radio. Alarmed, he armed himself with a gun and went outside. He next caught sight of a being running through the field and a bright beam of light was shone upon him. He re-entered the cabin and closed the door. Then he heard knocks on the door and the cabin shook. His dog started trembling, terrified. Re-emeging from the cabin, he saw an object resembling a racecar prototype moving low over the field with two beings inside. Five other humanoids were walking nearby, moving with heavy steps. The beings wore khaki uniforms with large belts and a kind of mask over their faces. One being pointed a glass tube at the witness and a luminous beam of light struck him, paralyzing both him and his dog. The beings and the strange craft soon left towards a forested area and disappeared. The next day he saw red lights in the field that flew away when he approached. Mr. Rias suffered from shock and stayed in bed for the following two days. His dog also appeared to suffer some discomfort for several days.

Date: 5/28/1974
Locations: Albuquerque, New Mexico; Sandia Mountains; Tramway Boulevard NE; Menaul Boulevard; Copper Avenue; Kirtland AFB; Sandia foothills
Description: Day. A resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico, sees a large glowing object moving across the western face of the Sandia Mountains. It is so bright that no structure is visible. The witness opens his window to listen for noise coming from the object, but there is none. As he watches, the object appears to land on a nearby hill where it remains for an hour before it shoots into the air and vanishes. Three young men are camping in the Sandia Mountains that day around noon. They notice a silver-white UFO on the ground on the east side of Tramway Boulevard NE, between Menaul Boulevard and Copper Avenue. Next to it is a silver, triangular-shaped object with odd rune-like symbols on one of the pointed ends. After reporting the sighting, they wind up being taken to Kirtland AFB for interrogation by civilian intelligence agents. They are told they have witnessed a “Soviet incident” and are to keep their mouths shut, which they do for 34 years before talking to Linda Moulton Howe in 2007. Around 9:00 p.m., a family sees a large, glowing, football-shaped disc moving across Albuquerque toward the Sandia foothills. They jump in their car and try to follow the object, using dirt roads on the east side of Tramway. They are stopped by a state police officer, beyond whom they can see the UFO hovering low next to a rocky hill. It is surrounded by armed military personnel.

Event 36202 (107E3D46)

Date: 5/31/1974
Description: (Translated from French) Peter (24 years old) and his wife Frances (21 years old) — these are pseudonyms — are driving in a Peugeot 404, heading from what is then called Salisbury to Durban (South Africa). The route takes them across the South African border (with Zimbabwe) at Beit Bridge, at the Limpopo River. About 32 km south of Umvuma in Rhodesia (now Harare in Zimbabwe), Frances notices a light on the left following their car. The headlights dim, the couple suddenly feels very cold and has to wrap themselves in blankets. Realizing he is driving well beyond the speed limit, Peter lets off the accelerator — but nothing happens. The headlights go out completely, and Peter loses all control of the vehicle, which speeds down the road at 145 km/h. When Fort Victoria comes into view, the UFO veers off and moves away; the car then starts functioning normally again. The couple stops at Fort Victoria to get gas and astonishes the attendant by making remarks about the cold. Just outside of Fort Victoria, the UFO reappears and Peter once again loses control of his vehicle. Even stranger, the road becomes totally straight and without traffic, crossing lush tropical vegetation (when it is known to be winding and heavily trafficked at night, crossing arid landscapes). Arriving at the border near Beit Bridge, 290 km from Fort Victoria, the couple’s watches indicate 7:30, an hour late, and they have only spent 22 cents on gas. Hypnosis regression will reveal that the car had been under the control of a humanoid beam-shipped from the UFO to the back seat of the car, from a distant galaxy. The humanoid claimed to be able to take any form, from a duck to a normal human being… (May 31, 2:30)

Event 36206 (6568DF67)

Date: 5/31/1974
Description: In 1974 the strange events began early in the morning for a young married couple traveling from Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to South Africa via Fort Victoria and Beit Bridge. Peter and Frances saw what they thought was a policeman holding a walkie-talkie radio about 10 kilometers south of Umvuma. This is what he seemed to be to Peter, who was driving his Peugeot 404 well in excess of the posted speed limit. As the road was noted for speed traps, he slowed down. The pair of them began to think in more detail about the policeman. The metallic-looking suit seemed queer for a policeman, as they normally wore khaki. The UFO appeared at 2:30 a.m. on the passenger side of the car (left hand side). It appeared fairly close and seemed to keep pace with the car. For a brief while they wondered if it might be a helicopter. It had a bluish tinge, and was flashing bright and steady for 5 seconds, then off for 2 seconds.

The car headlights began to fade next, and there was an immense light around the car. As they drove along it suddenly became very cold in the car. They estimated the drop in temperature to have been between 20 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit, down to less than 50º F. Peter took his foot off the accelerator but the car continued to move forward at an accelerated speed! He tried to apply the brakes but it had no effect, and his steering had no effect on the direction of the car as well.

When they were some 10 km from Fort Victoria the UFO shot off like a shooting star, but it reappeared again about 10 kilometers outside of the city, but this time they also saw a second UFO move into position above the car. Frances fell asleep around 6:15 a.m. just before she feel asleep they lost all sound from the radio. Peter lost all track of time and he remembered nothing from about three minutes after Frances fell asleep. He felt at the time he must have been mesmerized by the road.

At the Customs post at the South African border showed 8:30 a.m. although their watches indicated it was only 7:30 a.m. Peter was also surprised when reading the car’s trip odometer. He had reset it to zero at Fort Victoria, but found that it had recorded only 17 km, yet the distance by road was 288 km. He had also filled the gas tank in Fort Victoria and expected to need a full tank when he reached the border, but when he tried to fill the tank it would take only 22 cents worth, which at the time was less than a half gallon. Under hypnosis Frances had no other experiences revealed than those she remembered consciously. Peter, however recalled seeing the inside of the “spacecraft” which had three levels, and interacting with physical beings that he believed could take on any appearance that he wanted them to look like.

Description: (Translated from French) … It was made by a clergyman from Fouesnant, while he was driving alone in the direction of Beg-Meil (Finistère). For two minutes, he was able to notice the presence in the sky of a black matte spherical object. It was about 6 pm. This flying object, whose size was compared to that of a football, was moving at 300 meters of altitude on a trajectory oriented southwest/west. It appeared as a solid volume and, curiously, dragged in its wake a triangular “luminous cloud” of orange color of about 200 meters in length. The UFO, which did not emit the slightest noise, veered towards the sea. The witness then rushed into a cafe to alert the customers: when they arrived, the craft had unfortunately disappeared.

Date: 6/1974
Description: (Translated from French) Lieutenant Colonel Toshio Nakamura and Commander Shiro Kubuta take off in a Phantom F-4EJ for what they believe to be an interception mission of a Soviet bomber. After takeoff, they are informed that they are actually being sent to investigate a brightly colored UFO that had been seen and picked up on radar. At 9000 meters altitude, they encounter a red disk-shaped object which Commander Kubuta says appears to be piloted by intelligent beings. The object maneuvers around the aircraft, forcing Nakamura to dive and turn. Finally, the object touches the aircraft. Kubuta and Nakamura manage to eject, but Nakamura’s parachute catches fire and he crashes to the ground.

Description: The witness to an earlier report of humanoids in Warneton, Belgium from January 7, 1974 saw the same two entities again. At 8:40 p.m. his car engine sputtered and the cassette player stopped working. He felt an electric shock, then heard a sound, and the beings vanished. At 9:30 EDT, less than seven hours later in Southampton, Massachusetts four men and women saw a domed object with multicolored lights and a bobbing motion, descend near a road. The witnesses fled in fear.

Event 36230 (8594701F)

Date: 6/7/1974
Location: BELGIUM, Warneton
Description: (Translated from French) (see January 7, 1974 in Warneton) Five months later, second contact, but quite particular, in the same place, same witness, same time, same circumstances. The witness had just resumed his evening classes for improvement the day before for the first time since a work accident in February. The witness sees the two beings posted at the side of the road (apparently the same ones) like two hitchhikers. There are engine misfires but since it is still daylight, there is nothing to say about the headlights. The radio is silent. The witness stops at the height of these two creatures who are then so close that they could touch the bodywork. He does not move from his vehicle: emotion and prudence. Again a small shock behind the head and a modulated sound for 2 or 3 minutes, which stops: the two beings disappearing abruptly as if disintegrated, without any noise or other reaction. After this instantaneous disappearance the radio works again, the engine starts without difficulty. Shortly before this second encounter, the witness had been overtaken by a Ford car registered in Belgium which, however, was not affected and the driver would not have seen the ufonauts.

Event 36233 (72EDB29F)

Date: 6/8/1974
Description: At Lake George near Goulbourne, New South Wales, Australia a Mr. L, an elderly farmer, noticed an elongated luminous object in the sky at around 11 p.m. on the night of June 7-8, 1974. It ejected a “falling star” that approached to within two miles of him, hovering about a half a mile up in the sky. It appeared as a red luminous sphere. Later that night this sphere appeared to land behind some trees several miles away. At around three o’clock in the morning he went out with his dog to investigate, and walked toward the landing site. He heard a number of other dogs barking, and a voice that yelled, “shut up!”, which caused him to stop. He sat down where he was and waited until around 6:00 a.m., and then went on to the site and found “an area of burnt vegetation for a distance of 200 yards.” When the witness was subsequently hospitalized and diagnozed with paranoid schizophrenia, he was able to recall futher details. He remembered that he had approached to withing 300 yards of the landed object, and observed it through binoculars. Three or four men over eight feet tall came from behind the landed craft and “floated” to the ground. They were wearing glowing silver colored suits that covered their bodies up to their necks. He could discern no facial features on the beings. Later, a chute emerged from the object, and down it came a number of cylindrical metal “packing cases.” After that, about 40 head of black cattle came down the chute, and were driven away by normal looking men, accompanied by dogs.

Event 36235 (0B183FBA)

Date: 6/9/1974
Location: northern perimeter of Japan
Description: Night. Maj. Shiro Kubota and Lt. Col. Toshio Nakamura are flying an F-4EJ Phantom II interceptor over the northern perimeter of Japan, apparently to intercept a Soviet aircraft. Ground control explains that they are to investigate a bright orange-red light reported by ground witnesses and tracked on radar. Leveling off at 30,000 feet, they see the light a few miles ahead. It appears to be about 33 feet in diameter, with square-shaped marks around its side. The object dips in a shallow turn as they approach. Suddenly the object reverses direction and shoots straight toward them. Nakamura forces the aircraft into a sudden dive to avoid it, missing the UFO by “inches.” The object then makes high-speed passes at the plane, drawing closer. Then, allegedly, the UFO strikes the F-4, forcing the two pilots to eject. Nakamura’s parachute catches fire and he falls to his death.

Date: 6/12/1974
Description: Alfred A. Knopf publishes The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence by Victor Marchetti and John D. Marks, which discusses how the CIA works and how its original purpose (collecting and analyzing information about foreign governments, corporations, and persons in order to advise public policymakers) has, according to the authors, been subverted by its obsession with clandestine operations. Marchetti uses the expression “cult of intelligence” to denounce what he views as a counterproductive mindset and culture of secrecy, elitism, amorality, and lawlessness within and surrounding the CIA in the service of American imperialism.

Date: 6/14/1974
Locations: Medellín, Badajoz, Spain; Castillo
Description: 5:30 a.m. Santiago Pulido Romero is driving in Medellín, Badajoz, Spain, near the Castillo when he sees a pot- shaped object rapidly approaching him 300 feet above the ground. He turns off his car lights, but the object follows his car parallel to the road about 210 feet away to the right. When he switches his headlights back on, the object begins approaching again, so he switches them off and the object retreats. When he arrives at his father’s property, the object hovers over the barn, moving up and down, so he runs into the house. Later Pulido goes outside to check, and the object is still hovering, lighting up the entire area like daytime. Three humanoid beings are visible inside the object. Early the next morning at sunrise, the object abruptly speeds away. Other witnesses in separate locations also see a UFO.

Event 36253 (8762BF58)

Date: 6/14/1974
Description: Earlier that same day, Santiago Pulido Romero, age 46, was driving to his father’s farm in Medellin, Spain at 4:30 a.m. when he saw a bright light, then a “pot-shaped” object flying rapidly towards him at a low altitude. The object paced his car at a distance of some 70 meters to the right. When his headlights were turned on the UFO would approach. When he turned them off the UFO moved away. The object hovered over the farmhouse he entered, illuminating the area “like daytime”. It rotated as it hovered, with a slight back-and forth, pendulum motion. No sound was heard. The UFO had a conical turret on top, which emitted a brilliant yellow light. Inside the turret he could see three beings more than two meters tall, moving stiffly, with something like helmets on their heads. The object was in view for more than 90 minutes and was seen by others. It departed as the sun rose.

Event 36255 (A8F4F592)

Date: 6/15/1974
Location: HIMALAYAS, Mount Dahjar
Description: (Translated from French) Mountaineer Keo Wha Unan was inspecting a rock formation in the upper part of Mount Dahjar. At one point, emerging from a kind of rocky cave, he saw above a ridge a silver disc, unlit and quite smooth in appearance, hovering 1.30 meters from the rock. Three humanoid creatures jumped out and began to collect samples of snow and rock. After five minutes, they had finished and climbed back up a kind of sliding ladder that had come out of the base of the UFO. Once everything was inside, the humanoids and the ladder, he heard a buzzing sound, the machine rose a few meters vertically, and then, like lightning, the object disappeared into the clouds.

Event 36273 (AAE9A453)

Date: 6/18/1974
Description: At 3:30 p.m. on a sunny afternoon a strange metallic flying object flew around over the sea off the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. It was at a distance of some thousand metres or so from the shore at Navegantes. After hovering for some six minutes above the sea, it veered at a 90 degree angle towards the beach and then dropped into the sea. Fisherman Avelino Severiano Generosa, age 46, his parents, his wife, and his nine children were all on the beach when they saw the silent, bright shiny object flying very low along the shore. It remaining stationary for six minutes, then it dropped into the sea. He at once put out in his motor-launch to the area, but found only foam on the sea where the object had disappeared. There were twenty other people on the beach who also saw the object, but none of the others had the courage to go out in the boat to see what was happening. Days later Celso Lemkuni, a diver, tried to make a dive to locate the object, but had no success owing to the strong winds lashing the coast.

Event 36274 (422CF497)

Date: 6/19/1974
Location: FRANCE, Cambrai
Description: (Translated from French) At midnight the sentry woke up the soldiers of base 103 to show them an unknown object. In the sky they saw a strange cylinder (like a cigarette at arm’s length) and silent. Through binoculars the military observed three triangular shapes under the object. They slowly rotated changing color, along the cylinder ran waves like hot air. The object was stationary for 10 minutes towards the north at 20° angular height. It then came above the witnesses but its dimensions were decreasing. It suddenly stopped while another luminous object coming from the west approached and circled it 5 or 6 times. The two objects left together towards the northeast.

Event 36281 (522F69A3)

Date: Summer 1974
Locations: southwest of Lodi, Wisconsin; State Highway 113 south of Lodi; Lodi
Description: Late evening. A witness living southwest of Lodi, Wisconsin, sees an intensely bright light that is illuminating a hill on an adjacent golf course. It covers an area the size of a football field, but he cannot see a beam or light source. A few hours later, a couple driving on State Highway 113 south of Lodi observe a triangular object with red and blue circular lights suspended beneath it. The object passes silently less than 20 feet above their car, hovers momentarily, and resumes its slow pass overhead. It is twice the size of their car. They watch as the lights shut off and the object is gone. At 1:00 a.m., a man in Lodi sees what he thinks are headlights pulling into his driveway. He sees three bright points of light fixed horizontally in the black sky. He goes in to get his brother who has a telescope, and they attempt to spot the lights (only two now) with the scope. It takes a while, and when they look straight up they see a large, triangular object right above them. No lights are visible, but its undersurface is clearly defined and metallic. It moves over the house, tips upward at a 45° angle, and shoots away.

Description: 1:15 a.m. A witness is up late in his trailer home at St.-Cyrille-de-Wendover, Quebec, when he hears a “bumm, bumm, bumm” sound, as if something very heavy has fallen onto the ground. He looks out the living room window and sees a UFO hovering low above a near field. It is a disc with a red domed area and an orangish lower area punctuated by oval windows from which comes white light. He sees a 6-foot-tall robot that has apparently emerged from the object and is now only 15 feet from his window. He and his wife see three more robots near the trailer next door. The observation lasts 3 hours as the couple peek out of the window periodically. At one point, they see 15 robots standing in line together close to a creek for 5 minutes. As if on command, they suddenly move together; when they look out again at 4:20 a.m., the craft and the robots are gone.

His chest was covered with a thick black fur crossed at the level of the stomach by a band of white hairs. All his back on the other hand seemed covered with a brown fur. (…) very large fingers with powerful nails. (…) a large mouth bordered by thick and black lips. His globular eyes surmounted by thick bushy eyebrows. His feet look human despite being covered with hair. He smells terribly bad. (footprints photographed by the police). . . (Jean FERGUSON: “Les Humanoïdes…” ed. Leméac, Ottawa, 1977, p. 126) A young girl was keeping yaks, sitting near the river. She heard a loud noise and saw a “Yeti” with black and reddish-brown fur, very large eyes and a prominent eyebrow arch. This creature grabbed the young girl and carried her for some distance. Finally he let her go, exasperated by her cries and tears? The creature then killed two yaks: one with a punch, the other by breaking its neck.

Description: Psychic Pat Price accurately remote views the Soviet URDF-3 facility adjacent to the Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan for the Stanford Research Institute [now SRI International] in Menlo Park, California. In another experiment, Puthoff and a skeptical scientist named Earl Jones drive to 9 separate metropolitan areas, all chosen by Jones. Back in the SRI lab, Targ monitors Price, who describes 7 of the places accurately —in some cases before Jones and Puthoff even reach the target or before Jones has decided on a target. Price also claims to sense four underground alien bases, volunteering the data outside the SRI experimental parameters. The bases are located under Monte Perdido, Huesca, Spain; Mount Nyangani, Zimbabwe; Mount Hayes, Alaska; and Mount Ziel in Australia’s Northern Territory.

Description: (Translated from French) Three young girls returning home saw a bright object land in the countryside. Almost immediately a yellow beam was directed towards the sky. Other witnesses observed the phenomenon. One of them, accompanied by his mother and sister, drove to the landing site. They discovered in a harvested field a half-sphere of intense red color, 8 meters wide, 4 meters high and whose base seemed to be enveloped in luminous mist. Frightened, they turned around and alerted the firefighters. When they arrived 20 minutes later, the craft had disappeared, the straw and thatch at the craft’s location was charred.

Event 36327 (D2DC0D60)

Date: 7/14/1974
Locations: Burlington, Vermont; Quebec City, Quebec; CFB Bagotville in Saguenay, Quebec; RCAF Station Mont Apica
Description: 3:36 p.m. A Scandinavian Airlines flight en route to Burlington, Vermont, is flying at 35,000 feet 35–40 miles southeast of Quebec City, Quebec. Capt. Korsvold and the crew notice a triangular object moving southwest and has it in sight for 7 minutes. Radio interference is reported. At the same time, C. W. Bacon is flying a private jet about 35 miles southeast of Quebec City and sees the same triangular object, but it seems to be stationary. Air traffic control at CFB Bagotville in Saguenay, Quebec, reports strong interference on a frequency of 121.5 MHz, a frequency reserved for aircraft in distress. The signal is also disrupting transmissions for 10 minutes at RCAF Station Mont Apica [now the Lac Castor Canadian weather radar station]. All is quiet after both the UFO and interference are gone.

Event 36336 (95E61505)

Date: 7/17/1974
Description: Mrs. Jackie Booth of Avon Lake, Ohio–mother of three–had had several UFO sightings earlier in this year in March and April, and at the end of June a strange and totally unexplained condition affected her eyes when light emanated from them for a two hour period. In early July ground marks that could have come from a landed UFO were found on her lawn. On this night she awoke and went to the front door where she found two strange figures standing. They were about five feet tall and had large heads that were flat on top, glowing eyes set wide apart, slit-like mouths, and grayish-colored skin. Their arms were long, but she could not recall any details below the waist. They entered the house and appeared interested in Mrs. Booth’s electric organ. She tried to talk to them, but they communicated with her telepathically, and she could “feel my thoughts leave my head.” They wanted her to play the organ, so she sat down and played scales, and when she looked up they had vanished. She went back to bed and tried to convince herself it had been a dream. Later, under hypnosis, she recalled additional details. None of her family had awakened during the incident. Other strange incidents subsequently occurred.

Event 36337 (0B2E567D)

Date: 7/17/1974
Description: Maj. Dallas van Hoose, Army spokesman at Redstone Arsenal, states “unexplained aerial phenomena” were observed during ballistic missile exercises the previous year. In one incident in August 1973, he stated, Vandenberg AFB launched a Minuteman ICBM to Kwajalein missile range; on its descent at 400,000 feet, radar scanners began tracking a UAP next to the ICBM nose cone. Radar picked up an inverted saucer-shaped object to the right and above the nose cone, and watched it pass in front of the warhead (while maintaining its speed) below and to the left before disappearing. In addition to Maj. Hoose, none of the experts journalists spoke to could explain the event. Ufologist Barry Greenwood later stated he filed FOIA inquiries for records and Vandenberg replied that the records were destroyed and unavailable.

• https://www.ufohastings.com/index.php/articles/ufos-are-stalking-and-intercepting-dummy-nuclear-warheads-during-test-flights#note_2

Note: This is a remarkable admission by the Army and suggests that while the Air Force continued to rely on conclusions from Project Blue Book to debunk UAP, other elements of
USG were tracking and making records of UAP events.

Description: (Translated from French) (Ke Jingzhi) …(21 hours) … as night was falling I was returning to dinner at the restaurant reserved for young city cadres transplanted to the countryside. As I was walking along a vegetable garden I suddenly noticed a completely black man standing in front of me; at 8 or 9 m. He seemed robust and tall (1 m 80). As it was very dark I couldn’t make out the details of his face. This black man stood out well in the night as his whole body was slightly glowing. I thought he was a peasant come to check the irrigation system. I shouted to him: “Who goes there? Come quickly to plug the ditch!” The glowing black man didn’t move or answer my call. So I joked: “If you don’t come, I’m going to hit you on the head!” Immediately the man started glowing brighter, and suddenly he hid himself in the tall grass of about one meter. I rushed into the grass to find him, but in vain. And after a few minutes I gave up. Then I got scared and ran away. (…) yet, two days later, in the same place, the head of our production brigade and the head of our team encountered a slightly glowing black man. The same man may have been. (…) (Shi Bo: “China and the Extraterrestrials” - ed. Mercure de France 1983, p. 233, 234) A student saw a luminous black creature in the vegetable garden. Two other witnesses saw him the day after.

Event 36370 (D47ACF97)

Date: 8/1/1974
Description: John E. Justice had just left his job at the Ohio Masonic Home for the aged in Springfield, Ohio and was driving home when he heard a voice tell him “let go the steering wheel.” Justice ignored this instruction and the order was repeated, calling him “friend.” Justice did so, and the car continued down the long drive of its own accord. The voice, somewhat guttural in tone, came from the passenger seat to his right, and Justice could see the seat was depressed, as though someone was sitting in it. He asked if he would be harmed, and was told, “Friend, I would not harm a hair on your head.” Justice then asked what he wanted and got no reply. He was told that the voice was that of a “spaceman,” and he had been in the UFO Justice and another witness had seen a few nights earlier. Justice was then told that he would be able to see him when he left the car, and was told to look above the power lines ahead. He then observed a figure suspended ten feet in the air in front of his car. It was perfectly human in appearance, a male figure of large build, about 6’ 6" tall, holding its arms outstretched in front. The being wore a tight fitting, silvery outfit with a belt, gloves, and short boots. He was very handsome, and illuminated by a strange light. Justice was told that he would be visited again. The figure passed from view and Justice took control of the steering wheel and continued home, very shaken by the experience.

Event 36383 (88981D3C)

Date: 8/5/1974
Description: An apparent abduction attempt that was thwarted by two other UFOs occurred shortly after dusk in Maracaibo, Venezuela. Two peasants in their twenties, named Sr. Chiaka and Sr. Monteil, were returning home when they were blinded by a round object in the sky that was “flattened at the sides, and of a silvery color.” They found themselves paralyzed and unable to move as the object landed. Two humanoid beings, who were more than two meters tall, emerged from the craft, wearing “lead colored clothing like the skin of sardines.” They also had on blue colored goggles and dark belts. They approached the witnesses slowly, making gestures, while a whistling sound came from their machine. What happened next was completely bewildering. Two other UFOs descended from the sky “and took the first UFO and its occupants in tow.” The witnesses were then able to move again, and made their escape.

Location: La Brousse, Charente-Maritime, France
Description: 11:30 a.m. A 15-year-old boy sees a disc maneuvering near a hedgerow at La Brousse, Charente-Maritime, France. It is about the size of a medium car, dull-lead in color, with a green reflective dome. One of three windows open “exactly like the shutter of a vanishing headlight on a sports car.” The lower part of the object rotates, but the dome does not. Later, three sharply defined circles of burnt straw form an isosceles triangle within an oval area of crushed straw. Within each imprint are two small pieces of lead.

Event 36433 (5421F40D)

Date: 8/16/1974
Location: CANADA, Port Coquitlam
Description: (Translated from French) (source: Graham Conway, Aufora) At around 8pm, three boys, David Bates (8 years old), Steven and Henry Stillie (10 and 7 years old) were taking their usual shortcut through a wooded area, on a path that would lead them back to the street where they lived. Halfway through the path, they heard a sharp whistling sound, so much so that the kitten that David was carrying in his arms was desperately trying to escape, scratching and clawing, and David had to let it go. The kitten ran off like a mad thing, then fell on its side “asleep”, said David. The other two boys said the kitten was “playing dead”. Looking in the direction of the shrill noise, the children saw an object above the trees, going from south to north, above the railway bridge over the river. It had a red light on top and flashing green and white lights at each end. The shrillness was so unbearable, especially for David, that he covered his ears with his hands, though David doesn’t remember this. The UFO then began to descend, and the noise became very faint in no time. The kitten regained its senses and came back to David, who took it back in his arms. To their great surprise, less than 50m away from them, the object touched the ground sending a very hot and violent gust of air, which made the boys enveloped in a cloud of dust. Before touching the ground, the object extended its feet and then something inside the craft made the earth and stones fly around. Here the testimonies differ. The Stillie brothers had seen enough and sprinted 100m to get back home, at Olympic speed, they say. David Bates, either braver or more stoic, stayed long enough to observe a door on the craft, without portholes and square on top. This is confirmed by the other two boys. There was like a chain around the object and at that moment, David started running towards his home too. His parents confirm he came back in a state of hysteria, eyes wide. Meanwhile, the sister of the Stillie brothers explains that when they came in, the boys closed all the doors and shutters before hiding under the sheets in their bed. There were still visible traces of the landing the next day.

Event 36439 (D2DE76F8)

Date: 8/16/1974
Location: Port Coquitlam, British Columbia
Description: 8:00 p.m. David Bates, 8, Steven Stillie, 10, and Henry Stillie, 7, are taking a shortcut past an abandoned sandpit close to their homes in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Suddenly they hear a high-pitched whine and the cat Bates is carrying panics and escapes his hold; it runs several yards and then stops abruptly. They then see an object with a red light on top and flashing green and white lights on either end. Moving slowly, the UFO reverses course and with an undulating motion heads for the clearing where the sandpit lies and lands there, about 150 feet away. The whine becomes intense. As the object settles down, it releases a blast of hot air that blows dust on he boys. It extends three short legs and blue sparks leap up from the ground. The boys run home. Investigator Graham Conway finds residual material present in three indentations at the site. Analysis shows that it contains an abnormally high amount of zinc.

Event 36441 (2A253B25)

Date: 8/16/1974
Description: Shortly after 7:30 p.m. three boys, ages 9 and 10, in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia saw a buzzing, multi-colored disc-shaped object land. It approached very suddenly from the sky and made an undulating motion as it came in to land. It landed with a blast of hot air, and gave off blue sparks during the process. An animal reaction was noted: their cat was frightened and ran away. The UFO had the outline of a door, and stood on three legs; it had a square at the top, and was 20 feet wide. Circular patches were found on the ground at the landing site. The entire close encounter lasted ten minutes.

Description: Driving on Route 43 near Derry, New Hampshire at 9:30 p.m. Joe Recupero saw an object through his windshield that was moving from east to west, approximately 300 yards distant, and as “big as a house.” It was white in color, fuzzy and bright as the sun, and was followed by several smaller objects. It moved into some trees along the highway between Exits 4 and 5, so he pulled off the road, got out, and began looking for it. After searching for several minutes, he suddenly spotted two small “mummy like” figures in the woods, some 40 yards distant. Alarmed, he got back into his car and drove off. The entire incident lasted one hour, although the mummy figures were only seen briefly.

Event 36453 (53B6767B)

Date: 8/22/1974
Description: A young woman, Kimberle Lenz, and her brother were abducted while driving on a road near Boulder, Colorado at about 1:30 a.m. The abduction experience lasted two hours, and involved missing time and physiological effects. R. Leo Sprinkle investigated the case and performed the hypnotic regression on the witnesses. Some kind of levitation force was used which pulled the witnesses in the car forward. Grey humanoid beings approached their stopped car from a field. They were made to touch a black box, which caused them to lose consciousness. Under hypnosis it emerged that the beings communicated with them using telepathy; they were curious about human emotions. When the abductees attempted to engage in resistance, they experienced pain.

Event 36463 (6EF3BEFD)

Date: 8/25/1974
Locations: Corpus Christi, Texas; Gulf of Mexico; Brownsville; El Llano, Coyame, Chihuahua, Mexico; El Paso; Mexico City
Description: After 10:00 p.m. A document is leaked to UFO researchers in the US and UK in 1992 and is apparently composed by someone within the US intelligence community who either personally knows about the case or who has run across top-secret documents. Now known as the “Deneb Report,” the document alleges that the following incident took place. Military radar at Corpus Christi, Texas, detects an unknown target moving toward the Texas Gulf coast. Traveling at a speed of 2,500 mph at an altitude of 75,000 feet, the UFO is first spotted over the Gulf of Mexico about 200 miles east of Corpus Christi. After going through maneuvers suggesting intelligent control, the object quickly turns south along the Texas coast, avoiding entry over land, and seems headed toward Brownsville. As the disc continues to hug the Texas coastline, it exhibits controlled descent, calculated turns, speed reductions, and other clear indications of control. The object descends from 75,000 feet to about 45,000 feet by the time it crosses over land into northern Mexico, about 40 miles south of Brownsville. Its speed is down to 2,000 mph and it is slowing very gradually. Zigzagging around mountain peaks that tower above 5,000 feet, the UFO continues to descend, although its speed is still near 2,000 mph at the time that it encounters another aircraft headed toward it on a collision course. Somewhere over a vast desert plain known as El Llano near Coyame, Chihuahua, Mexico, a mid-air collision occurs with a small aircraft flying from El Paso to Mexico City. Debris from the crash rains down on the desert plain below, and efforts are soon underway by both Mexico and the US to recover the remains. Mexican spotter planes first locate the wreckage of the aircraft, even as US electronic surveillance personnel listen in on the rescue activities from across the Texas border. The Americans hear the Mexican spotter planes say that the small craft is almost totally destroyed and that they have found a second crash site nearby with the remains of a nearly intact, shiny, silvery disc. The object is 16 feet, 5 inches in diameter, and equally convex on both upper and lower surfaces. There is an outer rim around the central circumference. The height is slightly less than 5 feet. They see no visible portholes, doors, or markings. In addition, no lights of any kind are apparent. There is also no obvious mechanism for propulsion. The external surface of the disc is like silvery polished steel. Mexican troops recover the crashed disc, winching it up onto the bed of a large military truck. They also retrieve fragments of the crashed civilian aircraft, although there is not much left of it.

Event 36464 (0CD6BEEA)

Date: 8/26/1974
Location: FRANCE, Feignies (Nord)
Description: (Translated from French) Miss Moret went to the fairground attractions and was supposed to be back at 8:30 pm. The parents were worried. Mr. Moret went out in front of his house at 8:55 pm to see if his daughter was on her way back. At 9 pm, suddenly, he distinguished in the sky an object that was descending very slowly, it was round, black in color, with a slight white halo, standing out against the grey background of the sky, at about 200 m of distance. He ran to get his wife so that they wouldn’t be the only witnesses as the street was deserted. Mrs. Moret also saw the thing which, after 15 minutes, stabilized at about 20 m from the ground. Then this ball opened up in the vertical direction, by a slow spreading, forming two black half-moons with a peripheral luminosity. The one on the left stayed in place without changing, the one on the right moved away, shrinking until it disappeared in the nightfall. Then, towards the flat side of the remaining crescent, a kind of veil was pulled slowly, as if one was sliding a single black curtain. On the new background, still black, two “cosmonauts” dressed from head to toe in metallic grey were gradually discernible. Their arms and legs were seen moving, but their heads seemed to be encased in a kind of bulky helmet. They moved by waddling like puppets, crossing from one side to the other. The scene lasted about 40 minutes. Then, all of a sudden, the parents remembered that their daughter still hadn’t come back, it was 10 pm. The UFO occupants’ show continued, but Mrs. M. went back inside to set the table and Mr. Moret left on his bicycle towards the fairground. When he came back with the young girl, he didn’t even look at the thing in the sky, if it was still there.

Event 36469 (A4E18E8B)

Date: 8/26/1974
Description: In Feignies, Nord Department, France at 9:00 p.m. Mr. & Mrs. Moret watched a round black orb, outlined by a faint white luminous corona, split in two. The sphere was about 200 meters away and it slowly descended to hover 20 meters above the ground before it split vertically into two “half moons”, one of which flew off to the south-southeast and was lost from sight. The other half remained in place, and figures in helmets were seen moving about inside. A sort of veil was drawn across it, and two “cosmonauts” clad from head to foot in a whitish-gray metallic material, and wearing large helmets, were then seen moving in it. The witnesses watched them for 40 minutes, during which time the UFO remained stationary. The diameter of the original ball was about 25 feet, and the UFOnauts’ were estimated to be five-feet tall.

Event 36470 (B52F86A2)

Date: 8/28/1974
Location: BELGIUM, Mont-sur-Marchienne (Charleroi)
Description: (Translated from French) Patricia Riega was taking the air, sitting in the courtyard, her parents being in the house. At exactly 8:55 pm she heard for 1 minute 30 a jet engine noise. Very quickly distinct sharp whistles were heard, suggesting a rapid rotation. She looked up at the sky, and she only saw stars (note from vog: at 8:55 pm in August, with a clear sky, you can already see stars at summer time valid in Belgium? Really amazing!). The noise increased to the point of piercing her ears and suddenly, as if coming out of a small cloud, an object appeared, comparable in size to a Boeing, a saucer surrounded by a round red-orange halo radiating strongly. The craft seemed to be rotating rapidly, it moved away obliquely on a SSE-NNO trajectory as if on an air cushion. The mother heard at the end of the observation for a few seconds the noise that was fading away. The witness remained shocked by what she saw, trembling all over and was unable to sleep all night

Date: 8/31/1974
Description: On this night at Navegantes Beach, Santa Catarina State, Brazil Antonio De Azevedo, an angler, was on the beach with his wife when they saw a discoid object with multicolored lights land close beside them. It was shaped like “two plates with the rims stuck together.” The vivid lights temporarily paralyzed the observers. From the object emerged three “strange short beings wearing greenish spacesuits”. Their faces “seemed to reflect the green color of their clothes.” Conversing in a strange language, they quickly “examined” the angler and his wife, then seized his wife and abducted her, taking her into the object, which took off at incredible speed.

Date: 9/1974
Location: Bermuda Triangle
Description: Author Charles Berlitz writes The Bermuda Triangle, in which he popularizes the concept of the Bermuda Triangle as an area of ocean prone to disappearing ships and airplanes. He quotes his friend J. Manson Valentine, who has reported several UFO sightings in the area. He also perpetuates a fake radio transmission from Lt. Charles Taylor of the missing TBM Avenger bombers in December 1945 containing the warning, “Don’t come after me… They look like they are from outer space.” Berlitz’s claims of unusual EM effects occurring in the Triangle are also fabrications.

Event 36493 (B1510F0A)

Date: 9/1/1974
Location: Canada, near Langenburg (Saskatchewan)
Description: (Translated from French) Around ten o’clock… Edwin Fuhr began to harvest his rape in a field located about 500 m from the house. (…) He had been harvesting for nearly an hour and was near a bog (…) When he looked up (…) he saw a metal dome about fifteen meters away from him, apparently resting on a grassy area between the rape and a ravine. He stopped his harvester, got down and approached the object to within about five meters. When he got closer to the metal dome he noticed that the grass was moving at the base and that the object itself was rotating very quickly. Fuhr was naturally very scared and he backed away, without taking his eyes off the object, until he reached the harvester whose engine was still running. He circled it, climbed onto the seat and looked at the rotating dome from this higher observation point. He then saw four other metal domes, all the same size, all rotating (…) He heard no noise, perhaps because of the harvester’s engine. After several minutes, it seemed to him, the objects suddenly rose into the air in a staggered formation, at a height of about 60 meters. They stopped and a puff of dark gray vapor escaped from pipes similar to exhaust pipes at the base of each object, accompanied by a downward gust of wind that almost blew Fuhr’s hat off and flattened the rape. The objects were now in perfect straight formation. After remaining stationary for one or two minutes, they suddenly rose into the low clouds and disappeared.

Event 36499 (E3094056)

Date: 9/1/1974
Location: Langenburg, Saskatchewan
Description: 11:00 a.m. While he is driving a swather to harvest his rapeseed crop near Langenburg, Saskatchewan, farmer Edwin Fuhr, 36, notices a metallic-appearing dome-shaped object about 50 feet away and stops to investigate. Walking to within 15 feet of it, Fuhr sees that it is spinning and swirling the grass beneath it. This frightens him and he backs away. Climbing back on the swather, he looks around and sees four more identical domes “like brushed stainless steel” arranged in a rough semicircle, all hovering and spinning about a foot above the ground. Whether from fear or an EM effect, Fuhr cannot get the throttle and steering wheel of the swather to respond. One object suddenly takes off, quickly followed by the other four, ascending in a step formation. At about 200 feet they stop, each emitting a puff of gray vapor from exhaust-like extensions at the base. The vapor extends about 6 feet, followed by a downward gust of wind which flattens the rapeseed in the immediate area. The objects then form a straight line, hover for a minute or two, then suddenly ascend into the low cloud cover and disappear. Fuhr goes to the landing area and finds five rings of depressed grass swirled in a clockwise fashion. There is no evidence of heat or burning. Some additional circles are found in the area later that month. Fuhr later learns that cattle in a nearby field bellowed and broke through a fence about the time of the sighting. Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Ron Morier, quoted by Canadian Press, says: “Something was there and I doubt it was a hoax. There’s no indication anything had been wheeled in or out and Mr. Fuhr seemed genuinely scared.” Later Morier tells an investigator, “There is no way that this is a hoax. Whatever was in there, it came out of the air and departed the same way, as far as I could tell.”

Event 36500 (DD9A80A0)

Date: 9/3/1974
Description: Late in August, while driving on her early morning paper route in Duxbury, Massachusetts, the witness observed a red pulsating object at treetop level. When two beams of light emerged from its base to play across a nearby cranberry bog, her car engine “fluttered” and the car radio emitted static. The car interior became extremely hot and she felt nauseated. On this pre-dawn morning while driving the same route as her previous sighting, the witness heard a voice “inside her head” telling her to turn left at the next intersection, which she did. Then her car radio went out and the car motor died. She next saw four short humanoid figures, each standing upon a “small surface vehicle” resembling a Roto Tiller, darting up and down the road a few inches above the road surface. One figure approached her and asked her, telepathically, to open the car door. When she did not, all four doors flew open at once. The humanoids, after inspecting the interior of the craft, requested that she make certain arm movements, then to bend her head forward. Looking at the back of her head, one being said, “Yes, you are different,” and touched the spot with something that left five small puncture marks. He then told her telepathically that there were thousands of ships that have been visiting Earth for many years, and many people who have been examined by the aliens, voluntarily or otherwise. He told her they come from a planet whose name resembled “Omius” or “Omnigus”; and that there was a “mother ship” at that time in Scituate Harbor. In reply to her own questions, the examiner said that she was not permitted to touch them or to board one of their ships, but he promised that she would see a ship subsequently. She was advised that she would suffer headaches for some weeks, which proved to be true; he also said that she would “not like to look upon their faces.” The humanoids departed and she arrived home an hour and a half later than usual. The figures were 4-5 feet tall, with small heads in transparent fishbowl helmets, through which she was only able to see “small, beady, very shiny eyes.” The spokesman had two stripes on the upper part of his arm, while the other three had stripes that were longer on their sides, just above their waists. The leader had a buckle on his belt upon which was a wavy line. She was extremely upset by this encounter, and told only her husband, who gave details to the investigator. On the night following this encounter, the witness again experienced E-M effects on her car as a large, disc-shaped object with multi-colored lights descended and extended three landing legs from the bottom. The craft passed barely inches from the windshield of her car, and she was able to see an insignia on the UFO that resembled “mathematical symbols.” After hovering briefly, the object shot straight up and vanished. The witness refused to cooperate in any further investigation.

Event 36520 (37580D64)

Date: 9/8/1974
Description: In Sioux City, Iowa a 16-year-old youth was awakened in his basement room at 3:30 a.m. by a loud noise like a sonic boom. A few minutes later he saw a bright purple light flashing outside his basement window, lighting up the interior of his room. The neighborhood dogs were carrying on, although the usually chirruping crickets in the basement were now silent. Three minutes after the purple light was seen a bright white light the size and shape of a baseball passed in front of the window. He heard a “scratching” sound on the screen door to the backyard, and the purple and white lights again came in through the window. Hearing a “tapping” nose outside, the witness got up and looked out and saw a three-foot tall figure carrying a purple light like a flashlight. He was standing between two garbage cans. The youth yelled and dashed upstairs, just as “an enormous gust of wind” hit the house. The sounds woke up two girls in the house. The following morning a dark scorched mark, three feet in diameter, was found on the concrete patio.

Event 36543 (17F9570A)

Date: 9/16/1974
Location: St. Helens, Tasmania
Description: Around 9:30 p.m. Mrs. A. Richards is driving a 1968 Toyota a few miles northwest of St. Helens, Tasmania, with her two children. The car radio suddenly turns to static as she is passing over a bridge and the sky ahead lights up. The car then loses power as it travels up an incline, and everything goes dead—car lights, radio, heater, and engine. The landscape is lit up by a bright area of light ahead. The mother tries to start the car without success. A deafening vibrating noise then seems to envelop the car. About the same time all three of them feel electric shocks like vibrations for one minute, and a choking smell fills the car so that they leap from the car and flee the scene, leaving the car and the glow in the sky behind. After nearly 2 miles, they reach a house whose resident gives them a ride back to the car to see what is wrong. The hood is warm, but the car starts up and there is no sign of a light. A check at the local garage finds water in the radiator low, otherwise both radio and electrical systems are in working order. The mother suffers from swollen arms and fingers the following day. The right side of her face is numb and she has red marks above her right eyebrow.

Event 36544 (302DAFF3)

Date: 9/16/1974
Description: At around 9:15 p.m. Mrs. Richards was driving north of St Helens, Tasmania, Australia with her two young children when she noticed the sky light up ahead of her. Crossing a bridge, the car then lost power and rolled to a stop. The entire electric system was out, even the heater, radio, headlights and dashboard lights, and an attempt to restart the car failed. Then “a deafening vibrating noise enveloped the car.” As she and the children covered their ears, “painful electrical shocks began penetrating their bodies.” This went on for about a minute. Next, the car filled with a “choking smell,” and they evacuated the car and ran down the road to a house some distance away. The local resident noted their alarmed condition and took them in, and after a short while they all went back to check on their vehicle. The light had gone, and all that was unusual with the car was that its hood was hot. The car started normally, and they drove home. Coincidentally, Mrs. Richards husband was out waiting for them and saw lights in the sky and heard a distant roar. Although the children suffered no subsequent physiological effects, Mrs. Richards had swollen arms, fingers, and became numb on the right side of her face.

Description: At 12:45 a.m. Younic Le Bihan, age 20, was awakened by his parents to observe a UFO hovering outside their house in Riec sur Belon, France. The family was using binoculars to view it. The object resembled a boat; it had lights like portholes that emitted a very bright light that changed from orange to green, and on each side of the base was a red light. The object was estimated to be 30 feet wide and 22 feet high, and it hovered just two feet above the ground. Then the lights were extinguished, and the family saw a star-like light that quickly disappeared. Younic then observed three heavy set humanoid figures, about 5 1/2 foot tall, “waddling” toward them. The beings were dressed in metallic suits and appeared to be floating above the ground, and their faces were not visible. The family fled from their house in fear.

Event 36551 (07D09D97)

Date: 9/21/1974
Location: Knutby, Uppsala County, Sweden
Description: 10:00 p.m. A Swedish army officer is driving with his family near Knutby, Uppsala County, Sweden, when a blinding light approaches the car from the right at an altitude of about 30 feet. The car stops and the radio and headlights go out. The UFO passes the road ahead and then lands on the left side about 250 feet from the road. A large area is lit up by the blinding, green-shimmering light from the object. The witnesses hear a sound like a swarm of bees. Through binoculars, the officer sees an egg-shaped structure some 33 feet long and around 10 feet high. The car engine still does not work. He gets out of the car, then hears a deafening roar. The UFO is taking off vertically with a rocking motion. It flies off slowly at about 100 feet altitude for a few hundred yards, then takes off and disappears in a fraction of a second. He gets back in the car and the radio is playing music and the car starts easily.

One driver is suddenly surrounded by a dazzling red light that illuminates the area. The engine, lights, and radio fail. After several attempts, he restarts the car and turns on the lights. A cone of white neon light descends toward the car. A bumping noise and a sound like broken glass is heard on the roof, and then a foot-long spurt of flame erupts from the car radio. The engine and lights fail again. After about 6 seconds a distinct “click” is heard, and everything works normally again. The car engine and radio are undamaged.

Event 36574 (200E7884)

Date: 9/29/1974
Location: FRANCE, Riec sur Belon
Description: (Translated from French) The first witness, Younic Le Bihan, was a sergeant in the army and 21 years old. Around 00:50 he had just returned to his home, near the Carrefour de la Villeneuve, while a violent storm was breaking out. Arriving in the living room he saw a fleeting orange light. Reaching his bedroom on the upper floor he noticed a red halo, like that of a fire. He then saw 500 or 600 m to the southeast a blaze the size of a house. He took out his binoculars and saw three rectangles of bright red color topped with folding shutters. Simultaneously he saw three luminous masses of phosphorescent white pass beneath these hatches. He clearly distinguished the contours of the object: a horizontal base topped with a truncated cone-shaped cabin, in which the red rectangles were still visible. In front of the object he saw three silhouettes the size and aspect of human beings, of phosphorescent white. They moved in his direction. The witness then alerted his parents, Francis Le Bihan and Yvonne Sallin, who observed with the naked eye and binoculars. The object suddenly had a slight lateral jolt and disappeared, while the three figures remained on the ground. Simultaneously there was a yellow light to the south, like a flash. Frightened, the parents left the house to take refuge with friends 300 m away. (J.C. BOURRET: “Le nouveau défi des OVNI” - France Empire 1976, pp. 84-98) »

Event 36591 (CBD0B138)

Date: 10/8/1974
Location: FRANCE, near Calais
Description: (Translated from French) At around 8pm Collette P., 49 years old, was tending to her rabbits and crossing the courtyard to get some water. In front of her, to the right of a walnut tree at the back of the courtyard, she saw a stationary, silent, luminous phenomenon that did not light up the surroundings: three concentric circles, the largest of which had a diameter of approximately 4m. The whole was surrounded by a white, oval-shaped halo 15m long. These circles at a low altitude gave the impression of being horizontal, but seen from below they were comparable to neon tubes. The whole thing slid behind the walnut tree and disappeared behind the ridge of the barn. Collette wanted to follow the phenomenon, but feeling an uncomfortable sensation, she did not dare to go alone. She called her sister Lucette, 54 years old, who was in the hangar. In the meantime, the phenomenon had become entirely oval and luminous, moved towards the road and then returned to the farm. Lucette made calls with the electric torch but nothing happened. To avoid being disturbed by the lights of the courtyard, Lucette went behind the hangar and continued her calls. Then the thing moved behind her towards the hangar. Collette ran to get her brother Dominique (53 years old) from the stables, while Lucette advanced along a path towards the cemetery. Her sister and brother joined her but no longer saw the phenomenon, which had just disappeared behind a roof. All three of them saw it reappear, it stopped again above the path in the form of concentric circles but this time with the colors of the rainbow. Then it changed shape, taking the form of three luminous points arranged in a triangle with the point upwards. This was followed by a mysterious ballet from left to right over a width of a hundred meters. Then the phenomenon changed back into concentric circles of different colors and quickly disappeared in the alignment of the path to the NE. The witnesses’ mother had glimpsed the phenomenon from her armchair through the dining room window.

Date: 10/10/1974

Description: 10:10 p.m. John Breen, a Canadian armed forces pilot, is paced by a UFO over Grand Falls, Newfoundland, in his Cessna 172, en route from Deer Lake to Gander. A passenger first notices a strange light following the plane when they are 50 miles away from Gander. Every time Breen looks at the light it seems to turn off, but finally he gets a better view: “It seems to be sort of a triangle—or delta-shaped, luminescent greenish light following us.” It stays on for 3–4 seconds, then goes off for a bit, then on again. Gradually it remains steady. About 25–30 miles from Gander, Breen radios the airport, which has no traffic in the area. The object’s reflection is clearly visible in the water of Gander Lake. Breen says: “I started a right turn and then cut hard left. Gander then picked up the object for two or three sweeps, which would have been about 10–12 seconds. When we turned around, I just saw it going off the other way and then I lost it because of the back of the airplane.”

Event 36614 (EA208140)

Date: 10/14/1974
Locations: Grand Forks AFB; Emerado, North Dakota
Description: 9:09 p.m. Air Force security personnel assigned to the Bomber Alert Area of Grand Forks AFB near Emerado, North Dakota, see two large, solid black, oval shapes hovering at 1,500 feet altitude in the northwestern sky. Although each of the unlit objects has five small lights arrayed across its surface, the UFOs approach to within one-quarter mile of the alert area before they are noticed. Within a 3-minute period, 14 security police sentries, two military pilots, and a B-52 maintenance supervisor independently report the objects to their respective control locations. Static on radio and other communications networks are noted. After hovering for 2 minutes, the UFOs slowly move in tandem toward the south, making a faint humming sound as they fade from view.

Event 36618 (692F8071)

Date: 10/15/1974
Locations: Ramona, California; Santa Maria Valley; Medicine Bow National Forest southeast of Rawlins, Wyoming
Description: Night. Five witnesses in Ramona, California, watch a mysterious round object as it maneuvers over the Santa Maria Valley. It lands on a hillside and turns ruby red before becoming a brilliant white light. As it passes over, horses act up and a dog tries to grab one witness by her sleeve back into the house. Another dog, chained, runs in and out of the doghouse repeatedly, and the chickens and goats are agitated as well. Radio and TV reception is disrupted, and a compass points to the object as it is moving. The object hovers briefly, then shoots away, emitting a noise like something between a hum and a foghorn. (NICAP, “Object Lands / Animal Reactions / Compass Deviates”; Bob Gribble, “Looking Back,” MUFON UFO Journal, no. 258 (October 1989): 24) October 25 — 4:15 p.m. Oil-well digger E. Carl Higdon Jr. is hunting elk on the northern edge of Medicine Bow National Forest southeast of Rawlins, Wyoming, when he sees five elk standing motionless. He attempts to shoot one, but the bullet falls about 50 feet from him as if hitting an invisible obstruction. He goes to pick it up, then hears a twig snap and sees a humanoid being (more than 6 feet tall) under a tree about 50 feet away. Its hair is sticking up “like wheat straw,” it is bow-legged, and it is wearing a black coverall suit and black shoes. Two belts cross its chest, and another is wrapped around its waist. The being asks Higdon how he is doing and whether he is hungry, after which it tosses him a package of pills. It tells him to take one, saying it will last for four days. Higdon looks up the hill and sees a transparent, lighted cubicle. Suddenly he finds himself inside it, strapped to a seat with a helmet on his head. Two humanoids are also inside, as well as four seats, a control panel, a mirror, a map, and several elk, frozen in a cage. The craft takes him to what seems to be another planet with a mushroom-shaped tower, 100 feet tall. He and one of the humanoids float to the tower, go down an elevator, pass down a corridor, and go into a room with a platform. After being screened by a “glassy shield,” Higdon is told he is “not any good for what we need” and is taken back to the original location, where he rolls down a hill, hurting his head, neck, and shoulder. Around 6:30 p.m., Higdon radios his boss, Roy Fleming of the AM Well Service in Rawlins, with his location and asks for assistance. At 11:40 p.m., Higdon is found by a rescue party, which includes Fleming, the Carbon County sheriff, a deputy, and three other men in several four-wheel-drive pickup trucks. He seems confused, so he is taken to Carbon County Memorial Hospital, unable to remember his own name. He does not recover his memory until the evening of October 27. Many details emerge after Higdon is hypnotized by R. Leo Sprinkle on November 2 and 17.

Date: Late 1974
Description: President Gerald R. Ford creates the Nuclear Emergency Support Team, a group of scientists, technicians, and engineers operating under the US Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration. Its task is to be “prepared to respond immediately to any type of radiological accident or incident anywhere in the world.” Since 1975, NEST has been warned of 125 nuclear terror threats and has responded to 30. All have been false alarms.

Event 36621 (AF2B515D)

Date: 10/16/1974
Location: The trawler "Avel-Mad, captain Jean Chorlay, returned to the port of Douarnenez, after a voyage to the North Scotland, marked by the appearance of a UFO. The facts are troubling. They were observed by three members of the crew who were on duty between three and four in the morning, as the boat was coming from the Isle of St Kildo and heading towards the Isle of Barra. Manon, a sailor, recounts the event as follows: “I was on the bridge with Michel Kerivel, the chief mechanic, and José Morel, a sailor like me. In the south-east we observed on the horizon for about ten minutes, a round, oval shape, glowing with an orange color. This light moved from right to left. What’s more, we were able to pick up on the ship’s radar screen the echo of this strange thing. Its point was as big as the Isle of Barra itself. And it varied at an angle of 25 to 30 degrees in less than a second, at an extraordinary speed”. (…) The next day this unusual presence was confirmed by the captain of a trawler from Concarneau, the “Kerscadec”. (Jean François BOEDEC, “Les OVNI en Bretagne, anatomie d’un phénomène”, ed. Fernand Lanore 1978, p. 57, 58) (note from vog: this passage is reproduced, with very slight changes and additions in: …)

Date: 10/21/1974
Location: ENGLAND, unspecified location - in the countryside
Description: (Translated from French) In the early morning Mrs. J. Rustenburg is busy in her home, when she perceives a powerful noise coming from outside. This curious noise makes her think of the sound that would be produced by water thrown on a red stove round, except that it is deeper and very loud. (note of vog: like the one made by close lightning?) She puts on a garment and hurries outside, believing that an airplane has crashed and fearing for the safety of the children playing outside. (…) She watches with astonishment a strange machine (which she compares to a Mexican hat) floating above the old barn, located 15 to 20 m from where she is. She estimates the diameter of the object to be about 20 m. Not yet recovered from her surprise, she sees through the translucent upper part of the object, beings of human appearance, of an indescribable beauty. They seem to be dressed in a blue suit, fitted like a ski suit! They have long golden hair (…) and their faces express tenderness and compassion in a striking way. (…) Recovered from her amazement, the witness’s attention is diverted by the presence of her children, to whom she hastens to ask if they too see this strange vehicle. “Yes mom” they all agree in chorus. Then, looking up, the witnesses realize that the object is no longer there. (…) The object moved a little further away to come back and make three circles above the witnesses. Soon after and still in silence, the object stops and disappears in a dizzying vertical acceleration!

Event 36643 (944F2A7F)

Date: 10/25/1974
Location: USA, Medicine Row (Wyoming)
Description: (Translated from French) Carl Higdon, a mechanic in an oil field, 40 years old, athletic, passionate about hunting, parks his truck under cover and walks into the forest to hunt elk. He finds the forest strangely silent. Suddenly he sees an elk, aims and shoots: the detonation is muffled, the bullet flies in front of him in slow motion and falls to the ground a few meters away, as if crushed. The hunter picks it up and puts it in his pocket, when he hears a crack of a branch. He sees a creature of human appearance, very tall, yellow skin, straw-colored bristly hair, dressed in a black suit, under a birch tree 15 m away from him. “How are you?” asks the stranger. “Very well” answers the witness. “Are you hungry?” asks the creature. “Yes, a little” says Higdon who immediately finds a box with 5 pills in his hand. He must swallow one “which will feed him for 4 days” and he obeys. The stranger invites him to follow him and the witness agrees. In the clearing he sees a transparent cubic structure surrounded by a luminous halo. Then he sees himself walking with the gun in his hand on an unknown path and he falls by chance on a stuck vehicle, but with the CB on board. He makes a distress call and waits. He did not even recognize his own truck, stuck 8 km from where he had parked it. He was found at 11:15 pm, did not recognize his wife, his body was covered with bruises and he only repeated a story of a man in black and pills. He finds the crushed bullet in his pocket. He is taken to the hospital where nothing serious is detected. It is only the next day that the memories come back to him: Higdon floats towards the cubic structure, finds himself inside in the company of 5 other characters dressed in black. From the outside the structure seemed transparent: here it is opaque and much more voluminous than it seemed. He is seated in a chair and there is a vertical acceleration, up to the planet of the entities. He can not get out of the vehicle but sees a giant tower at the top of which turn unbearable lights. He also sees some “humans” (Earthlings). Then he is told “We are bringing you back because you are not suitable for what we are looking for”. This is the return journey and the brutal expulsion through a hatch. Higdon falls from 2 or 3 meters and slides down a scree.

Mr. Higdon could not remember what happened next, but he knew he had a two hour period of missing time. Under hypnosis by Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle of the University of Wyoming, he recalled an abduction experience that involved three short humanoids who gave him a medical exam.

It was surrounded by a green mist, which the car rolled into, and they felt a sensation of cold and there was abnormal silence. They were then abducted and they had three hours of missing time. Onboard the craft there were four foot tall creatures with pointed ears and 6 ft. 6 in. tall hooded human-looking albinos. Following the incident John had a nervous breakdown, while Elaine and the children had personality and lifestyle changes. For instance, they became ill if they ate meat. Both John and Elaine gave up alcohol and John stopped smoking.

Event 36673 (4B58A88E)

Date: 11/2/1974
Locations: Tampa, Florida; Aztec, New Mexico; Hangar 18
Description: Robert Spencer Carr gives a lecture at the Flying Saucer Symposium at the International Inn in Tampa, Florida, on the 1948 Aztec, New Mexico, crash/retrieval and the aliens allegedly stored in Hangar 18, calling it the “worst-kept secret in the world.” Carr’s hour-long lecture is short on specifics, but in the question-and-answer session afterward, he is asked about his sources for the information. Carr says there are three witnesses, but they must remain unnamed. He says that the US government will end the coverup, admit that UFOs are really spacecraft from other worlds, and it will happen soon—before the end of the year. Curt Collins writes, “Part of the reason Carr’s story took hold was that it was so familiar, people wanted something like it to be true, and that it seemed to come from an authority figure, a university professor with official governments contacts and sources It also struck a chord with the public, capitalizing on their distrust of the government following the Vietnam war and Watergate scandal.”

She notices a man seated on a box that is suspended in the air above her house, rocking to and fro, and only about 12 feet from her. He seems to be about 6 feet 6 inches tall and dressed in a shiny, one-piece garment with green, red, and white markings, and a pair of ski boots with square toes and heels. A helmet covers his face, but he seems to be looking for something. The box has a control rod with colored stripes. The man moves a bit further away to the east on his box. Sensoli sees a bright light to the north and she is overcome by heat. The house is lit up for a few seconds. Sensoli follows the man, trying to understand his gesticulations, but he departs to the east, followed by the light. The incident has lasted 15 minutes.

Description: At 5:30 p.m. a woman was tending to some animals on her farm near Castelleale, Emilia-Romagna Province, Italy when she noticed that some of the chickens and rabbits were acting panicky, running around strangely, and staring upwards. She glanced up and saw on top of her house, at roof top height, a “man in a spacesuit” sitting on a 0.6 meter wide box-like object that was swinging back and forth, apparently looking for something. The man was described as tall, heavy set, and wearing a shiny one-piece uniform with green, red, and white markings and large square boots. He wore a helmet with a visor that covered his face. He appeared to be dark complexioned. The man sat on the object, holding a rod like device rocking slowly to and fro. He then moved slowly towards the east where a vivid white light hovered. When she saw the light she immediately felt a wave of heat coming from it. The humanoid then flew slowly towards a nearby cemetery, followed closely by the bright light. He appeared to circle the area several times before disappearing from sight.

Description: 9:00 a.m. A businessman is taking a walk along the shore of Nørresø in Viborg, Denmark, when he notices an object above the eastern bank of the lake. He snaps a photo of it as it hovers in the air about 1,600– 3,300 feet away. He looks around to see if there are other witnesses, but when he looks back the object is gone. The photo shows a circular object with an estimated diameter of about 65 feet with some cloudy filaments hanging from its base. Investigators suspect it may be a rare instance of a small cumulus cloud that has developed from a black smoke ring.

Date: 11/21/1974
Description: At 5:30 p.m. 14-year-old Lance Edwards was walking home at dusk in Plattonville, Louisiana when he saw two bright luminous objects flying low over some nearby houses. He pursued them, running down a farm road, and came upon one of the objects resting on the ground at the edge of a woods. Its brightness dazzled him so that he had to cover his eyes. Having the feeling that someone was watching him, he turned and saw a strange figure just behind him. He his astonishment he turned run, but ran straight into the figure and was knocked to the ground. He picked himself up and took off running again, thoroughly frightened. The figure was small, reaching only to Lance’s chest, but was stocky. It had no neck and had a “pushed in” nose similar to a Pekinese. The color of its skin was “bluish” like “a bruise.” The teen reported the encounter immediately to his father, who took him to the sheriff’s office where a complete report was made.

Date: 11/28/1974
Location: Shabbona, Illinois
Description: 11:43 a.m. Hugo W. Feugen is flying his own Aeronca Champion aircraft on a bright day over Shabbona, Illinois, and he is checking his position on the aeronautical map to determine if he was still on course. When he looks up, he notices that the magnetic compass is rotating counterclockwise at a rate of four revolutions per minute. He looks to his right side and sees nothing but the town below him. When he turns to his left, he sees a disc or ellipse flying parallel to his aircraft at the same speed (75–80 mph) and altitude, pacing him at 120° at an estimated one-quarter of a mile distance. He estimates its size as 120 feet long and 30 feet thick. After pacing him for 8–10 seconds, the object tips slightly and he sees that it is not an ellipse but round in shape. As it tips up at an angle, it accelerates to a fantastic speed toward the east and is out of sight in less than one second.

Event 36720 (50B21954)

Date: 11/30/1974
Description: At 6:10 p.m. Jacques M. was driving a car following that of Pierre Errecoundo and Maggy Carof, on a UFO hunting expedition in Grosscourt, Oise, France. It was after dark and the cars were using their headlights. Jacques suddenly saw a man at least eight feet tall in the light of his car’s headlights, standing by the roadside. This being was milky white in color, as if wearing a tight white coverall, and his round head was without hair or facial features. Panic-stricken, Jacques drove on past; then, reconsidering, he turned around and drove back. He followed the same route but he saw nothing more of the man. Meanwhile Pierre, noticing that Jacques was no longer following him, had gone back to look for him. He saw a white headlight beam and a red light pass in front of him in the distance, apparently on the road, but silently, and it disappeared before reaching an intersection. Then Jacques showed up in his car. When they compared their stories and retraced his route, it was discovered that Jacques could only account for eight of the 11 minutes he had been gone. He was therefore interviewed later under hypnosis. In a hypnotic trance he recalled that he had gotten out of the car and watched the being for 3.5 minutes, and had felt that he was benevolent. He also said that there had been a big yellowish white light in the field, which “quickly disappeared.” The being suddenly vanished, after which the witness returned to his car and to his conscious recollection of events.

Date: End of 1974
Location: Italy, SARDINIA, near Diolianova
Description: (Translated from French) A young shepherd went to pick mushrooms. He traveled in all directions in a mountainous region. Around 5 pm he saw, at 500 m, a strange cylindrical object. The witness estimated that it had a length of 100 m and that it was moving at 150 m above the ground. Its color was a bluish green. The object seemed to slow down, then stopped in a vertical position above a road. At the top of its middle part, the object emitted a powerful orange-colored light beam that rotated and blinked like a police beacon. It clearly emitted a whistle composed of a long sound and three or four short sounds. Shortly afterwards, a hatch opened under its middle part and three luminous balls of blue, red and grayish white color fell first in a free fall, but soon changed into an ascending and slow flight. When the three balls disappeared from his view in the distance, the witness was astonished to find that in the meantime the carrier vessel had also disappeared. (1974, end of year)

Date: 12/1/1974
Description: At 11:00 p.m. three persons in a parked car near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada observed several bright lights that looked like they were on the perimeter of a large, dark flying object. The object hovered at a low altitude and moved up and down. On several occasions a light approached their vehicle at high speed and stopped about 20 feet away. These shooting lights were quite bright but dimmed upon stopping, then disappeared. The occupants of the vehicle felt a cold sensation when the lights approached. One of the witnesses saw two human-like figures walking near their car. They were wearing silvery outfits with face masks and helmets. Each helmet had a single antenna. As the UFO left the witnesses felt a strong rush of air and something strike their vehicle. At that moment they felt a strong sensation of heat.

Event 36728 (89CE9C7B)

Date: Early 12/1974
Location: USA; Frederic (Wisconsin)
Description: (Translated from French) William Bosak, 70 years old, was returning from a farmers’ meeting. It was 8:30 PM. He was almost home when his attention was drawn to an object on the left side of the road. He stopped a few meters away from the craft. It was a kind of transparent bell-shaped vehicle. There was a curious figure inside, illuminated by a diffuse light source. The upper body was visible. The occupant had their hands raised (…) Their straight hair (3 cm) stuck out from either side of their head like a rag doll’s. Their body was covered in natural fur of a ginger brown color. (…) Their ears, straight like a calf’s, were no less than 8 cm. The being was thin and their height seemed to not exceed 180 cm. Due to the fog, Bosak could not see if the craft was on the ground or floating. (vog: but he saw all the details reported above?) He could not make out the lower body of the occupant either. (…) Their face was hairless, Bosak was 2 m away from the craft and the creature was looking at Bosak. He put his car back in motion and when he passed by, the strange vehicle seemed to project itself directly towards the witness. It then became very dark in the car and the witness heard a rustling sound as if something was brushing against the car. (1974, beginning of December)

Event 36730 (4FC6C6D9)

Date: 12/2/1974
Locations: Frederic, Wisconsin; County Road W
Description: 10:30 p.m. Dairy farmer William L. Bosak is driving back to his house southeast of Frederic, Wisconsin, on County Road W when he sees an object reflected in his headlights on the westbound side of the road in front of him. It is a disc-shaped UFO, the bottom half obscured by the fog. But what holds his attention is something inside the object’s “curved front of glass.” Inside stands a figure with its arms raised above its head. He thinks the figure is as scared as he is because its eyes are protruding. It is generally human in shape, but its body is covered in dark tan fur except on the face and chin. Its head hair seems to be swept back, and the calf-like ears stretch out about 3 inches. The mouth and nose seem flat. Bosak speeds past the object and his car lights suddenly go dim. He hears a whooshing sound and the UFO is lost to view.

Event 36732 (4452AC3E)

Date: 12/2/1974
Description: Driving home near Frederick, Wisconsin at 10:30 p.m. William Bosak, a 69-year-old farmer, noticed something parked on the opposite side of the road ahead. Slowing down to look, his headlights illuminated an object with a curved, transparent front, behind which could be seen a figure visible from the waist up, with arms upraised over his head, as if in terror. The figure seemed to be a little taller than a tall man, and had a square face with hair “sticking straight out from the sides.” It had long, narrow ears that stuck straight out, brown furry arms, and a hairy torso. The eyes were large and protruding. Frightened, Mr. Bosak sped up past the object, which was surrounded by a kind of fog. As he passed, the car “darkened, as if in shadow,” or his headlights dimmed, and the witness heard a soft whooshing sound. No ground traces were found at the site the following day.

Description: 10:30 a.m. Harry Charlton and his wife have just driven east through Melrose, New Mexico, when they see two objects moving on their left at about 1,500 feet altitude. They have no wings, tail sections, or engine nodules. Both are dull gray, like galvanized sheet iron. The larger one is in front, with a slightly smaller one about 600 feet behind. Charlton thinks they are about a half-mile away, but he can hear no noise or see any smoke. When the objects are about abreast of the car, a sliding door opens on the larger one near the front end. A large, shiny sphere (like polished aluminum) about 15–20 feet in diameter emerges, moves toward the smaller object, and enters it after a door opens near the rear end. After they move out of sight in a few minutes, Charlton sees two F-111s take off in their direction from Cannon Air Force Base near Clovis.

Event 36757 (7FA91FA5)

Date: 12/22/1974
Location: USA, Fairfield (Ohio)
Description: (Translated from French) At 10:30 PM, Mrs. Page (in her eighties) had just gone to bed, but she was still wide awake when she was drawn to a bright light coming through the partially raised window shade of her bedroom. (…) Looking outside, she clearly saw an oval-shaped object “somewhat boat-like” hovering just above her neighbor’s house, about 125 meters away. The object was large. Green and white lights lined its perimeter. On one side were three small square windows through which shone white lights. The object remained in view for a quarter of an hour, rising and falling slowly in the sky. The sky was clear when Mrs. Page saw the object move slowly in a straight line towards the church which was on the side, a block away. Then it positioned itself above the center of the church and resumed its vertical up and down movement. “It stayed above the church for maybe half an hour,” Mrs. Page would say. That’s when she saw two dark silhouettes above the windows of the craft in what seemed to her to be a transparent dome. She opened the kitchen door to get a better view. It was cold and she didn’t stay, but while the door was open, she hadn’t heard any noise. Finally, the UFO moved in a straight line, leaving the church towards the north, and suddenly gained tremendous speed. “The silhouettes I saw in the craft were those of two small men. I could see them up to their waists. Their arms were constantly in motion. They went back and forth from one end of the craft to the other and seemed to meet in the middle,” she said.

Description: The Privacy Act, signed into law by President Gerald R. Ford, establishes a Code of Fair Information Practice that governs the collection, maintenance, use, and dissemination of personally identifiable information about individuals maintained in systems of records by federal agencies. The act also provides individuals with a means by which to seek access to and amend their records, and it sets forth various agency record-keeping requirements. Each agency must file an annual report on its FOIA requests to Congress. Citizens can also petition courts to render decisions on whether or not to release documents from agencies. FOIA soon disproves the longstanding denial of interest in UFOs by the CIA, FBI, and military agencies.

Event 36776 (43105CE2)

Date: 1975 (approximate)
Location: AUSTRALIA, Adelaide
Description: (Translated from French) In the mid-1970s. (Source: Organization: OzEmail Pty Ltd - Australia) A taxi driver from Adelaide came to find Colin from the ufology organization, asking him if extraterrestrials eat potatoes? Because for the last 30 days of this period he received every morning an envelope without address, white, containing cash and written instructions. It was mentioned a place in the hills of Adelaide, where, every evening at 6:15 pm he had to deliver a ton of potatoes in 20 bags of 50 kilos. The first time such an envelope reached him, he did not believe the story, but as the money attached to the envelope was real, he left with a van to deliver the potatoes to the place and time indicated. He then left, ambushing with the van in a secondary road, under the cover of trees, to see what would happen. He fell asleep around 9 pm and did not wake up until the sun’s rays the next morning. He went to see the delivery place: the potatoes were gone! After this first delivery, he thought he would never hear anything from the anonymous customer again. But when he got home, there was a new envelope, with thanks, money, and the order of a new ton of potatoes. This lasted a whole month. Then the man met Colin to tell him the story. Colin asked to see the instructions, and the taxi driver took them out of his pocket: all were typed on a typewriter. The paper seemed quite old and yellowed, the typewriter characters looked like an old mechanical machine. Then Colin accompanied the driver to the delivery place, with a ton of potatoes. At the place Colin found burn marks on the ground and his counter indicated a certain degree of radiation. Colin set up the camera and with the driver went to ambush on the secondary road. He saw nothing all night, but in the morning, the potatoes were gone! Colin accompanied the driver-deliverer of potatoes for nine evenings, and never, nothing happened, while the potatoes were vaporized. On the ninth night when Colin accompanied the driver, the camera had photographed an orange ball in the sky, while the two men had not seen anything visually. In the morning of that day, the taxi driver found neither envelope nor money in his mail. In 39 days, 40 tons of potatoes had thus taken the key of the fields … The driver had received nearly $9000 for his services and for the goods … [note of vog: which was quite well paid in my opinion: because in FB it makes 450,000 fr. of 1975, while the potatoes at the wholesale price were worth about 5,000 to 6,000 francs per ton, or for the whole between 200,000 and 240,000 francs.] (Around 1975)

Event 36778 (EA4C60B0)

Date: 1975
Locations: Point Pleasant, West Virginia; Ohio River; Silver Bridge
Description: John A. Keel publishes The Mothman Prophecies, an investigation into sightings of a winged creature called Mothman in the area around Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in 1966–1967. It combines these accounts with his theories about UFOs and various paranormal phenomena, ultimately connecting them to the collapse of the Silver Bridge across the Ohio River on December 15, 1967. (Official investigations in 1971 determine it was caused by stress corrosion cracking in an eye bar in a suspension chain.) Other entities that Keel chronicles are not-quite- human individuals (men in black) who intimidate witnesses and seem linked with UFOs. Sometimes, he writes, they threaten witnesses who have not told anyone else about their sightings. Usually they wear dark suits, sometimes with turtle-neck sweaters, and have dark complexions and Oriental features. Others are pale and bug- eyed. Their behavior is frequently odd, as if they are operating in an environment alien to them. In many cases they drive black Cadillacs or other limousine-like vehicles.

Event 36789 (AB95DAC0)

Date: 1/1975
Location: USA, Manhattan
Description: (Translated from French) After closing his shop in the evening, George O’Barski drove home passing through North Hudson Park. The car radio began to crackle with static. Low in the sky, a bright object passed the car, buzzing, and stopped 3 m from the ground, beginning its descent. O’Barski observed a 9 m long vessel illuminated by a row of windows. A door opened and a dozen small, hooded figures in winter sports attire, all the same color, descended by a kind of ladder. Without paying attention to him, they dug in the ground, collecting soil, roots, and leaves which they put in bags before quickly returning to the UFO which took off and quickly disappeared. The next day O’Barski found the traces on the ground. Budd Hopkins, who collected this testimony, found another witness to the event: Bill Pawlowski, the doorman of a nearby building, was intrigued by the lights coming from a large dark mass. The Wamsley family reportedly went out into the street to watch the spectacle. Frank Gonzales, meanwhile, reported an identical incident occurring a week earlier.

Event 36794 (7A1E2F60)

Date: 1/1/1975
Location: SPAIN, Burgos
Description: (Translated from French) At around 6:25, Manolo Agnera, Felipe Sanchez, and Ricardo Iglesias, military personnel in a car, saw a luminous body describe a curve and head towards the ground at great speed. Manolo stopped the car. At the presumed impact site, on the other side of the road, at the crossroads, there was a glare like that of a stadium projector. The witnesses saw the object in the shape of a truncated cone, 2 m high and 3 m wide, emitting a yellowish light, but downwards it seemed to emit streams of light towards the ground, which it did not seem to touch. Suddenly it went out and darkness became total. Not for long, because immediately afterwards 4 identical objects, apparently aligned and separated by barely a few centimeters, lit up one after the other. The witnesses’ reaction was according to their personality: one wanted to stay and watch, another to approach, another to leave immediately. This is what they did, but only for 50 m, then they stopped again. Finally they continued their journey slowly. When they arrived at the barracks they informed the superiors. The military personnel found on the observation site a fallow field, a burned area 40 m long and 4 m wide.

Description: 6:25 a.m. Four Spanish Army soldiers (Manolo Aguera, Felipe Sánchez, Ricardo Iglesias, and José Laso) are driving near Quintanaortuño, Burgos, Spain, when Aguera sees a light fall from the sky at great speed. He stops the car and all four get out and watch a bright yellow object just above the ground some 1,300 feet away where the light has fallen. It has the form of a truncated cone and emits white jets of light toward the ground. The light goes out suddenly and four others appear in a straight line, lighting up in succession. Driving on toward Burgos, the soldiers stop two more times to watch the lights. Investigator Malo Martínez later finds two parallel scorched areas where there are numerous randomly spaced holes where the grass has been burned all the way to the ground.

Description: Just before sunrise. Actor Warren Oates is with four friends (Lee Clayton, Trina Mitchum, Judy A. Jones, and Ted Markland) in the desert about 20 miles northeast of Palm Springs, California, when they see an object moving in a semicircle through the night sky. They describe it as an oval, metallic object flashing yellow, green, and white lights, with one large orange light in the center. Clayton, watching it through binoculars, sees a bell shape on the top, and estimates it is about 3–5 miles away at an altitude of 2,000 feet. It stops and hovers momentarily before moving off behind the mountains.

His wife notices a strange object moving southward over the beach toward her, and she runs to tell her husband, who is walking nearby. It is soundless, has a square shape, its center is white or silver, and it has a black stripe along its perimeter. A row of lights is visible along the lower edge. He estimates that it is flying at 5,000 feet altitude traveling diagonally to the direction of the wind, and is about one mile away. Before it disappears to the southwest after two minutes, Lindstrom takes three photographs (slides), which show a spherical object bisected by a black square and topped by five bright dots.

He then saw an object that seemed to be made of chrome metal reflecting the sunlight, coming from the north. He braked, pulled onto the shoulder and the object passed to the right side of the car. It made a noise like when the wind blows through a shutter. It had the size of a large car, flew at 100m distance and at very low altitude. The car radio produced a discharge when the object flew over. The thing was disc-shaped, swollen in the upper middle part.

Event 36824 (0D1DAA61)

Date: 1/4/1975
Location: FRANCE, Lorient (Arsenal)
Description: (Translated from French) The sailor J.J.C. was driving a service vehicle at the Naval Arsenal at 5:55 PM when, about sixty meters from an intersection, he saw an immobile ball above a tree. The witness started to drive slowly towards the crossroads. The object began to descend very slowly in a gliding motion. It was matte black and resembled a hot air balloon. Continuing its slow descent towards the ground, it took the shape of a crescent, with the points facing down and emitting a slight black smoke to its right. The witness stopped at the intersection, the object descended to 4 or 5 meters from the ground, stabilized for a second or two, then inclined towards the buildings of the headquarters while taking a slight ascent. As it passed between the trees and the buildings, the witness could see two protrusions on its lower part.

Event 36825 (F96D5C9A)

Date: 1/4/1975
Location: BRAZIL, Maranao
Description: (Translated from French) The Alves Ferreira family was lying down. During the night a violent light suddenly shone on the house and passed, leaving a pungent smell of burning. The chairs caught fire: for the family it was obvious, a UFO had hit the wall of the house. The next day, Antonio, the 13-year-old son, was playing in the garden when he saw a UFO the size of a “Volkswagen” emerge and emit a beam of white and hot light towards him. A hatch opened, a ladder came out and two creatures descended to the ground. Antonio was frozen in place and without understanding how he found himself inside the machine, surrounded by masked beings whose appearance terrified him. The ship flew off and landed in a place Antonio did not know. “A multitude of people were waiting for us”.

He was taken to a white hemispherical building where a humanoid asked him questions in an unknown language. Antonio remained silent. Irritated, the humanoid looked at him fixedly and as if by a click Antonio understood and answered in the same language. Really absurd questions: what is the speed of cars on earth, what do earthlings eat etc. Suddenly, the humanoid punched Antonio in the chest. A red spot appeared, and reappeared with each subsequent “contact”. He was brought back around noon. He began to passionately draw dark-skinned entities with large pointed ears, slanted eyes, their helmets from which an abundant brown hair escaped, their uniforms, their ships seen from the inside and outside.

In all, Antonio would have made 11 trips to these aliens. Their writing is somewhat similar to Chinese ideograms, the streets are covered with conveyor belts: the whole panoply of science fiction comics. There money does not exist, there is only one animal, the “antitolilai”. The aliens ask to offer them a dog, a cat, a parrot and in exchange Antonio receives a metal statuette representing one of them, medals and a gun. Antonio returned these gifts, because the neighbors accused him of possessing works of the devil. The ETs did not return the animals offered. Unusual detail: for a 36-hour stay of Antonio with these ETs, he was replaced on earth by a “clone” of which the parents would have noticed.

(Marie-Thérèse de BROSSES: “Enquête sur les enlèvements E.T.” - Plon

[c0mmando]

1995, p. 283 to 285) The Aliens would have told Antonio Alvez Ferreira that they had to keep him for thirty-six hours. So that his family could not worry about his absence (the entities usually have no such scruples!) they sent them a double in the meantime instead of the real Antonio! Better (or worse, depending on your choice): on a screen aboard a UFO, Antonio could follow his double confronted with his parents, who would have realized quite quickly that bilocation was not their offspring … (1975, January 4th and 5th)

Date: 1/4/1975
Location: USA, near Cincinnati
Description: (Translated from French) Jane Putman was reading, alone in the living room. The curtains were drawn. (…) Suddenly, a high-pitched voice, like a song, broke the silence. Jane dropped her book, and listened. (…) (Her husband Ray) was awake: she heard him walking quickly on the landing at the top of the stairs. At that moment, the singing stopped. “What the devil is going on?” Ray cried out. And without further ado he grabbed the phone and called the police. (…) Agents searched the house and the entire yard, and found nothing. (…) Early the next morning, Jane, unsatisfied, carefully examined the ground under the window facing the lawn. Astonished, she saw a half-circle depression in the grass. The arc, about twelve meters long, went up to the vertical of the ends of the branches of a large oak. (…) (January 4, 1975)

Description: 3:30 a.m. Carlos Alberto Diaz is walking home from a bus stop along Daniel de Solier street, Ingeniero White, near Bahía Blanca, Argentina, when he is blinded and paralyzed by a beam of light. He revives inside a UFO where three greenish, 6-foot-tall creatures, are plucking hair from his head and body. Diaz faints and wakes up in the afternoon in Buenos Aires some 400 miles away, where someone takes him to the Hospital Ferroviario. However, an extensive investigation by ufologist Roberto Enrique Banchs uncovers numerous discrepancies that strongly indicate a hoax.

Event 36832 (1A8A79D8)

Date: 1/5/1975
Location: BRAZIL, Bahia Blanca
Description: (Translated from French) Carlos Alberto Diaz, 28 years old, was returning from his work in a workshop at the station. It was 4 o’clock in the morning. He was suddenly blinded by an incandescent light that paralyzed him. He wanted to scream, but no sound came out. A force literally sucked him up to the edge of a saucer. Three beings who had no hands at the end of their arms then pulled his hair. He fainted. When he regained consciousness he was in Buenos Aires, 600 km from Bahia Blanca. (GARREAU and LAVIER: “Face aux extra-terrestres” - DELARGE 1975 - J’ai Lu, p. 173, 174). (Jean FERGUSON: “Les Humanoïdes…” ed. Leméac, Ottawa, 1977, p.100, 101) He was suddenly blinded by a pulsating light while he heard a kind of whistling resembling a radio wave. He said that the air and even the street seemed to vibrate violently. He felt lifted off the ground. At three meters high, he looked down and fainted. He woke up in what seemed to be a bright, very illuminated sphere. Three silent, somewhat greenish creatures were near him. They pulled out tufts of his hair, but he felt no pain. Four hours after being sucked up into the air in a street in Bahia Blanca, he woke up dazed on the side of a road in Buenos Aires more than 500 miles from his home. Near him was the bag containing his work clothes and the newspaper he had bought that morning.

Event 36833 (574C6E49)

Date: 1/5/1975
Location: FRANCE, Laulne
Description: (Translated from French) Yvon Vildier, 12 years old, went outside to the courtyard to urinate at around 7pm, turning on the outside light. He then saw, 120 meters away from the house in a field, a strange craft: he only saw the dome with a yellow, shining porthole, the rest being hidden by a hedge. He was struck with stupor and a few seconds later the object rose up, spinning, until it reached 100 meters high vertically. It seemed to be composed of 3 or 4 levels, and in the upper part there were 5 portholes the size of a bowl. Three 50 cm tall legs seemed to be connected to the center of the base to form a seat and they retracted into the craft when it left. He estimated the size to be 15 meters by 3 meters, oval-shaped. Without the legs, the height could have been 4 meters. It left to the left at a great speed. Duration of the observation: 30 seconds. The child returned in a state of shock, unable to say a word due to his fear. Ground traces and analyses were carried out.

He then heard a humming noise and was levitated off the ground. He fainted, and when he came to he was inside a spherical room about 8 feet in diameter with luminous walls. Three beings, about 5’ 9" tall, entered the sphere. Their heads were half the size of human heads, shaped like smooth green knobs, with small noses and small ears, and were completely devoid of hair. They were dressed in pale cream colored “rubber” suits that covered their entire bodies up to their necks. Although their arms terminated in fingerless stumps, they were nevertheless able to pull out large clumps of Diaz’s, but this caused him no pain. They even pulled out some hair from his chest. Finally Diaz fainted again, and when he awoke he found himself lying beside a road outside Buenos Aires. The time was 7:30 a.m. but his watch had stopped at 3:50 a.m. He was nauseous the entire day, and was taken to hospital.

There was a row of blinking orange lights that encircled the room at waist height. He remembered being in this compartment for less than a minute. He then fainted again and recovered consciousness near his home. His father told him that he had been gone for nearly an hour. The photographs of the UFO were overexposed and out of focus. There were two other witnesses who briefly witnessed the flying disc in Brownstown.

Event 36863 (E25FDC58)

Date: 1/12/1975
Locations: North Hudson Park, New Jersey; Stonehenge apartment building
Description: 2:45 a.m. George O’Barski is driving home through North Hudson Park, New Jersey, when he hears static on his CB radio. Through the window he sees a dark, round object with brightly lit windows hovering over the ground about 100 feet away. Ten small (3.5-feet tall), helmeted figures dressed in coveralls emerge from the UFO, dig up soil, and collect it in bags for about 3 minutes before returning to the craft, which takes off with a humming sound. O’Barski returns to the site the next day and finds holes that had been left. Hudson County Police Officers Thomas Feldhan and John Mackanics investigate and file reports. Months later, O’Barski relays the story to an acquaintance, Budd Hopkins, who is interested in UFOs. Hopkins and two others associated with the Center for UFO Studies find independent witnesses, including a doorman at the high-rise Stonehenge apartment building, Bill Pawlowski, who sees a UFO with multiple lights in the park the same time. Hopkins, Ted Bloecher (then the director of New York MUFON), and Jerry Stoehrer, also of MUFON, investigate the incident and take soil samples.

Location: FRANCE, near Bezolles
Description: (Translated from French) At around 7:15 PM, the witness, having left work in Vic-Fezensac, joined Bezolles via D 112 and saw a light that transformed into a large, very white sun, whose rays were spaced and were 5 to 6 m long. This thing was stationary 2 or 3 m above the road. The witness flashed their headlights: immediately they saw nothing. Relieved, they drove off slowly and saw through the curtain of trees a reddish glow. They continued on and when the curtain of trees broke, they saw again a redder, less precise light in a wasteland, behind a small grove. The witness stopped and the light disappeared. Total duration of the observation: one minute.

Event 36906 (5C1AAED8)

Date: 2/1975
Locations: New York City; Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles, California; Alaska
Description: New York City psychic Ingo Swann receives a phone call from a friend in a government agency who tells him that he will be contacted by a “Mr. Axelrod.” One morning in March at 3:00 a.m., Axelrod calls Swann and asks him to be in Washington, D.C., at 12:00 noon. This leads to an unlikely adventure involving Swann’s remote viewing of a secret extraterrestrial base on the hidden side of the Moon and his “shocking” experience with a sexy, scantily dressed female alien in a Los Angeles, California, supermarket. He concludes that extraterrestrials are living on Earth in humanoid bodies. Swann deduces that there are many extraterrestrials, that many are “bio- androids,” and that they are aware their only foes on Earth are psychics. Later, Swann and Mr. Axelrod take a flight to an unknown northerly destination, deduced by Swann as possibly Alaska. Along with two twin bodyguards, Swann and Axelrod attempt to secretly watch a recurrent UFO appear and suck up the water of a lake. Axelrod discloses that the silent, growing, oscillating triangle is simultaneously scanning the area and eliminating any animals, and that the silent beams emanating from the object are “blasting deer or porcupines from the woods or something.” The bodyguards realize they are discovered and the group is attacked by the UFO. Swann is thrown to safety by his colleagues and sustains a minor injury.

Event 36935 (A70FC63B)

Date: 2/10/1975
Location: Annadale, Staten Island, New York
Description: 7:00 p.m. Two 15-year-old boys in Annadale, Staten Island, New York, see a glowing ball, 20 feet in diameter, hovering about 400 feet away above some trees near a frozen pond. The brilliant orange mass compresses itself from football-shaped to basketball-shaped over a period of 10 minutes then suddenly disappears. Another witness who is walking a German shepherd dog around the same time reports that the dog reacted very nervously to something in the woods. The boys return early the next morning and find that some trees, ranging 5– 20 feet in height, have been sheared off and some are coated with a carbon-like substance. NICAP investigators have dirt and wood samples analyzed at a scientific laboratory and find that the trees are only superficially burned on their bark but that the fire is oil-based. They suspect the glowing object is a low-temperature fuel fire.

Event 36942 (9DA2F289)

Date: 2/14/1975
Location: LA REUNION, Petite-Ile, piton Calvaire
Description: (Translated from French) At 12:05 local time, Antoine Séverin, 21 years old, was strongly shocked by a light beam coming from a bright ball on Mount Calvary. The interested party returned home on foot. He saw three little men come out of the craft which did not touch the ground, observed them and was thrown to the ground by a powerful flash from the upper part of the saucer which then rose whistling very loudly. The witness became blind and mute from the shock of the observation. When, regaining his speech after 4 days, the witness explained his observation, he declared to have been disturbed by incessant beeps in his ears since the morning of February 12. Just before the observation these beeps were so loud that he thought his eardrums would burst. He then felt a burning breath and felt paralyzed. That’s when he saw the craft in the shape of a large hat, which shone intensely. It had an aluminum color and was hovering 1.50m from the ground. A three-step ladder appeared from below, it inclined at 45° but did not touch the ground. Then a kind of Michelin man, plump and shiny, came out and was carrying a shiny object 30 cm long in his hand. On the stairs he seemed comfortable, but on the ground he moved his feet together. A second, then a third man joined the first. The first one scratched the ground, the witness did not see that he was putting earth in the shiny bag that the second one was holding out to him. All three had antennas on their heads on each side, the witness saw them in profile. To face him, one of the men pivoted and his antennas moved. That’s when the powerful flash came that threw the witness to the ground. Faster than they had descended, the men went back up into the craft and the object left whistling. The witness does not know how long he stayed on the ground, does not remember having been blind and mute. Note that between February 19 and 25, each time the gendarmes brought the witness to the observation site, he fainted. Later he said that the cause was “beeps” heard as soon as he approached this place.

Description: 12:05 p.m. Antoine Séverin, 21, is on the slope of Piton du Calvaire, a hill outside Petite Île on the southern coast of Réunion in the Indian Ocean, when he hears a deafening beeping sound, feels a blast of heat, and sees a bright metallic object hovering about 5 feet above the ground. A ladder with three steps appears on the underside, and a small being like the “Michelin man” emerges. He is holding a shining object. Two other beings emerge, all with antennae on their heads. A fourth is visible through a porthole. Then Séverin is hurled onto his back by a powerful flash of light. The beings run up the ladder and withdraw it, then the UFO takes off, emitting a loud whistle. For several days he has blurred vision, impaired speech, and a medical diagnosis of shock. The Gendarmerie investigate the case and judge him to be mentally sound.

Event 36972 (56AA8453)

Date: 2/23/1975
Location: JAPAN, Kofu
Description: (Translated from French) Two 7-year-old boys saw a light in the sky that descended into the garden. They approached and saw the UFO on the ground. It had “Oriental” inscriptions unknown to the boys. A ladder came out of the craft and a silver entity with a large head, quite strange, appeared. Inside they saw another identical creature sitting, with its hand on a lever. As the children were about to flee, the entity that came out of the craft spoke to them with a voice, like that produced by a record spinning too fast on the turntable. They fled and called the parents of one of them. The latter came out and saw the luminous object but did not approach it. (February 23, 1975)

Date: 2/23/1975
Location: Matachewan, Ontario
Description: Night. Glenn E. Bradley sees two large cylindrical objects like grain silos floating above Matachewan, Ontario. Both are shining white floodlights downward to the ground and have bright lights at the top. They are traveling to the west at about 30 mph. Bradley begins following them in his pickup truck. Outside the lights of the town he notices that the two silos are accompanied by smaller UFOs about 50 feet in diameter, all darting about at high speed. They appear to be entering and exit the larger silos.

Event 36976 (5DF81463)

Date: 2/23/1975
Description: At sometime between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. two seven-year-old boys named Kono and Yamahata watched a luminous orange UFO approach Kofu, Japan while making a “ticking” sound. It landed on three ball-shaped legs in a nearby vineyard. The object was a domed disc, five meters in diameter and six feet high. The boys got very close to it, and discovered the surface of the object was silver colored and had strange words embossed on its surface. A ladder extended out of the craft down to the ground, and a humanoid creature slightly over four feet tall disembarked. He wore a silver uniform and carried something that looked like a gun. His skin was dark brown and he had large pointed ears, but his large head had no facial features: no eyes, nose or mouth. It merely had wrinkles on the “face” and three silvery two-inch long “fangs” where the mouth should be. Both boys could see one more smaller humanoid in the cockpit holding a control lever. The being that had emerged reached out and touched one of the boys, patting him twice on the shoulder and uttering words “like a tape recorder running backwards.” The boy who had been touched sat down, paralyzed either by the touch or fear, but his companion took him on his back and carried him from the vineyard. They then ran to one of the boy’s homes and informed their parents, who could at first see the orange light pulsating in the vineyard. Then it disappeared as they watched. Two concrete posts were found pushed over at the landing site.

Event 36984 (4DC2B973)

Date: Late 2/1975
Location: USA, unspecified location
Description: (Translated from French) Last week of February. It was in the last week of February, while his wife and he were watching an opera on television around 3 pm. Suddenly the image began to flicker and fade. At the same time, both of them heard a hard, sharp, piercing noise - a sound of “cut glass”. (…) and lasted for about 5 minutes. Frightened, the W.s got up and looked out the window. They saw nothing out of the ordinary (…) A strange glow was coming from the china cabinet facing the window. Approaching it, Mrs. W. saw that this light - multicolored like a rainbow - was being radiated by a silver salt shaker and pepper shaker placed among the china plates. (…) The two silver objects were burned. The upper half was covered in black powder, but the lower half still sparkled. (…) Then Mrs. W. had suddenly opened the door of the cabinet, seized the two objects, still glowing. For a moment, she had held them out at arm’s length, then had run across the room to put them in the sink. “At the moment she passed in front of the window, the luminescence on the lower part of the objects stopped, the piercing noise stopped, and the television image returned to normal”. (…) “The silver objects, at the moment she took them, were not even warm”. [vog: what pranksters these E.T.s must be. They must not have liked the opera and they put their own spice in it.] (1975, Late February)

Event 36996 (62A83C72)

Date: 2/26/1975
Locations: Lake Sorell, Tasmania; Mount Penny
Description: 8:45 p.m. A former RAAF crewman and a companion are on a fishing trip to Lake Sorell, Tasmania, when they see three glowing objects in the northeast sky, one smaller than the other two. Two of the UFOs move closer and hover, then recede, intermittently obscured by clouds. Each has a pulsing red light on its base. The main larger object is an elongated disc with a row of twinkling red lights around the rim. After a bank of clouds go through with a passing storm, the object reappears, glows brightly, and suddenly zooms toward the witnesses at “phenomenal speed.” It stops abruptly about 2,900 feet away at a height of 490 feet, its lights dimming. It projects a brilliant, cone-shaped light beam toward the lake and sweeps it toward the terrain, illuminating the side of a mountain. Then it sweeps back across the lake beneath the object and fades out. The lake’s surface glows a fluorescent blue-white. The object then shoots away to the northeast. A second object, which has been hovering to the north toward Mount Penny, speeds off in the same direction.

Event 36997 (8EDAD050)

Date: 2/26/1975
Description: At about 8:45 p.m. a professional man and his companion were on a fishing holiday at a lakeside camp on Lake Sorrell, Tasmania. The main witness was also a former Royal Australian Air Force aircrew member. He saw three glowing objects in the northeast sky, one smaller than the other two, and watched them for some time since they appeared unusual. Then he noticed they were not moving in the same direction as the clouds. Two of the objects moved closer to him and hovered, then receded, intermittently obscurred by clouds. Each had a pulsating red light on the underside. The closer object also had a row of red lights around the rim that were either changing from red to white or rotating. After several minutes the clouds, which had temporarily obscurred the UFOs, started to glow and he saw one object emerge and travel in an easterly direction, stopping over the north shore of the lake. The second object was visible further to the north, stationary over Mount Penny. The main object was now very clearly defined with the red pulsating light very strong. It remained in the area for 8 to 10 minutes. After a bank of clouds went through with a passing storm, the object reappeared, glowed brightly, and suddenly zoomed toward the witnesses “at phenomenal speed.” It stopped abruptly 900 meters away and 150 meters up. A brilliant, cone-shaped light beam was projected down toward the lake and swept across the terrain, illuminating the side of the mountain. Then it swept back across the lake beneath the object and faded out. The surface of the lake glowed a flourescent blue. The object then shot away to the northeast “at a colossal speed.” The second object sped off in the same direction at the same time. Radio interference was reported at the time.

Event 36998 (7F3A0096)

Date: 2/27/1975
Location: FRANCE, Malesherbes
Description: (Translated from French) At around 6pm, Mrs. G. saw three or four times a “shadow” of human form approach her house, then a large “headless bird”. She felt the strange impression that these shadows “came out of her” and that a click happened in her head as if a part of her was going elsewhere. (vog: was she, then, the extraterrestrial?) Numerous poltergeist phenomena occurred in the house: a lamp oil glass disappeared from the kitchen table and reappeared wearing aluminum foil after the witness observed that the dimensions of the room and the light seemed to be modified; the cover of her bed undulated like a snake; the bed vibrated; a pencil moved by itself. All these phenomena happened when the witness was alone. One day she suddenly thought that the responsible for these phenomena could be two African masks adorning her room. She removed them and the phenomena stopped. [vog: you didn’t know that these African masks come from another planet?!!] (February 27, 1975)

Description: (Translated from French) The driver Daniel L. was driving in the direction of Chatillon sur Seine towards Montbard, between midnight and 01:00 (night of 27 to 28 February) when 2.5 km from Montbard he saw the phenomenon at the exit of a wood. The device appeared in front of him, coming to meet him in the axis of the road. It had an indescribable mass of metallic gray color and occupied the width of the road (7m40). The object passed at a dizzying speed, skimming the cabin and at the same time there was a violent flash. The appearance lasted only a few seconds and disappeared immediately. Witness emotionally shocked who spent the rest of the night in the hospital.

On March 3 he felt an internal impulse prompting him to go out and photograph the sky. He set off early and went to a deserted and slightly wooded area 7 km from Lecce. After a few moments, in the direction of the north, he saw, like a flash, an object that first emitted a faint buzzing sound, then a continuous whistle. After recovering from his surprise, he took several shots. Gianuzzi was also able to photograph a curious flaky substance. [Note from vog: “cloudy” in fact. ]

Date: 3/6/1975
Description: Around midnight Suzanne, a married woman, woke up in Chantilly, France with the feeling that an intruder was in her house. She next heard the sound of dishes breaking. She and her husband went to the kitchen investigate, but found nothing. Her husband went back to sleep, but she remained awake. After awhile she saw a light in the corridor and went back to check. There she confronts a beautiful tall humanoid being with wavy blond hair, wearing a long yellow outfit. The figure seemed to float just above the floor. They exchange glances. The being seemed surprised by her presence and immediately disappeared into the wall. The next day an unusual light came into the house. The witness reports that she experienced a period of “good fortune” after the incident. Previously, she reportedly saw odd beings on a train in 1959 and a luminous sphere in 1962.

Description: Lt. Col “X” of Carswell AFB states underground facilities and isolated areas of military reservations have squadrons of unmarked helicopters with sophisticated instrumentation on board and are dispatched to areas of UAP activity. He states in the “earlier years” some bodies were taken to WPAFB but later, bodies were taken elsewhere depending on where CR occurred; he states some bodies are being flown to a “secret naval installation” on an island in the Pacific Ocean.

He also states he witnessed a CR in northern New Mexico in 1962, a silver disc that skidded in the ground; he states bodies were small, dressed in silver skin-tight suits and taken to Holloman AFB along with the craft; segments of the craft were then taken to Los Alamos afterwards. A CIA source told ufologist Robert Barry a CR took place in NM the same year.

Event 37055 (0F499FEB)

Date: 3/15/1975
Location: FRANCE, Dourlers “Espérance” (Nord)
Description: (Translated from French) At 10 pm Mr. Sporta arrived 100 m before the intersection of Espérance and was drawn to an unusual light. In a meadow to his right there was a strong illumination, he slowed down and stopped 50 m from the intersection, turned off the engine, applied the handbrake, but left the headlights on. He got out and could clearly see a saucer shaped like a camembert box topped with a dome. On the ground it was 4 to 4.5 m in diameter, brown-khaki in color, the narrow and high dome was lighter. A strongly luminous nebula was emitted, forming a very bright, white envelope that allowed the grass around it to be seen for a radius of about ten meters. No sound was emitted. Then, multicolored glows appeared on the entire body of the UFO, spinning together giving the impression that the entire craft was rotating slowly at first, then faster. The brown color of the body was no longer discernible, the mass rose gently vertically in a stable manner. At about twenty meters altitude it suddenly took a horizontal trajectory that brought it over a wood, where after accelerating, it quickly disappeared

Event 37056 (22CE4B97)

Date: 3/15/1975
Location: CANADA, Grimsby/Hamilton (Ontario)
Description: (Translated from French) (Source Ian Haysom from the “Hamilton Spectator”) Mrs. Corrie DeJong, her 14-year-old son Charles, and her 9-year-old daughter Sylvia witnessed an incredible spectacle in the evening. Charles came back from church and rushed in saying to his mother to look outside; it was then 9:45 PM. “We were going towards the window,” said Mrs. DeJong, “we saw three huge golden balls in the field, in front of the house, about 750 to 800 m away.” These balls still hovered for a minute, dropped four or five smaller balls towards the ground and then disappeared. Afterwards, eight huge golden balls flew close to the ground, at 1.5 to 2 m altitude, for a few minutes, and then imploded. But the surprise was not yet over: there was still a large red ball on the ground, looking like a setting sun.

Description: 10:30 p.m. Two young men and three girls are driving along the Mount Flora to Dingo Beach Road about 50 miles from Nebo, Queensland, when they see a strange light in a gravel storage area to the left of the road. The object is a box-like mass, 8 feet high and 9 feet wide, with a row of flashing white-to-yellow lights about 3 feet above the ground and a circular mass above it. As they stop the car, the object emits a tremendous bang like a shotgun. They are startled and drive on, feeling that the circular mass is watching them, then they return to the original location, but the girls in the back seat are terrified. They drive 9 miles further and find a road construction crew and tell them about the UFO. The two men convince one of the workers to return to the spot, but the object is gone and they find unusual ground marks. On March 25, two investigating officers from RAAF Base Townsville examine three oval-shaped areas, one roughly circular area, and one rectangular area, all apparently recent and produced by a heavy weight or pressure.

Event 37086 (8A847945)

Date: 3/31/1975
Location: FRANCE, St Hilaire de Cambrai (Nord)
Description: (Translated from French) At 3:30 the witness was awoken by the furious barking of the dogs: they were unleashed and even climbed onto the table! He got up and saw through the double curtains of the bedroom a red luminosity. He even heard some kind of indistinct murmurs. His stepson who lives at the back of the house, intrigued by the commotion, turns on the light in the courtyard, looks out the window and sees a rectangular mass of intense red, 4.50m long, 2m wide and 2m high, moving around. It progresses at 40 to 60 cm above the ground, hopping. It continues on its trajectory, becoming round with a green and blue color, with a predominant electric blue. At 60m from the witnesses, the first witness’ wife and her two daughters join the two men, and the object lands on the left side of the road, taking on a green-white hue. A few moments later the object moves again close to the ground and lands at 80m from the witnesses, on the right side of the road, now being green and spherical. The dogs calm down, the stepson turns off the light in the courtyard and goes back to bed without responding to his stepfather’s calls and without witnessing the rest of the observation. The intensity of the sphere decreases and becomes comparable to that of our electric lamps. The witness wants to go out but his wife prevents him. He stays at the window for another half hour, but as nothing happens he goes to bed. At 4:40 the street lights turn on, the dogs start barking furiously again, the five witnesses get up quickly, the object has already moved and is approaching close to the ground in the form of a green sphere emitting a sound like a pot. Then, suddenly, when it reaches the witnesses’ home, the phenomenon disappears. The first witness and his wife complain of sore eyes. Strange tracks of “paws” 14cm long, 11cm wide with “3 toes and a spur” are discovered the next day.

Event 37088 (6E21B0D9)

Date: 3/31/1975
Description: At 3:30 a.m. the furious barking of her dogs awoke a woman in St. Hilaire de Cambrai, France. Frightened, the dogs ran and jumped onto the top of the dining room table. The woman opened the curtains and saw a red glow outside and then heard strange, indistinct murmurs and voices. Her son-in-law woke up and looked out a window to see an intensely red rectangular mass about 4.5 meters long and two meters high. It flew half a meter above the ground in a strange hopping motion. It continued on its trajectory, becoming round and greenish-blue in color. Two other family member joined the first two and watched the object move about 80 meters away, now becoming a green spherical form. The dogs calmed down and so the son-in-law went back to bed. Soon the intensity of the sphere lessened, while the remaining witnesses remained watching out a window for the next half hour. At 4:00 a.m. the streetlights brightened and the dogs began barking again. At this point the UFO, now a green sphere, approached the house rapidly and then disappeared. One of the witnesses suffered from eye irritation the next day. Ground traces and “footprints” were found in the vicinity of the house.

Event 37089 (B528205C)

Date: 3/31/1975
Description: Nine hours later, at 9:00 p.m. local time, a merchant in Japan felt a strange urge to go out for a walk on the beach. Guchi Shinda, age 42, went for this walk along the beach in Kawanoe City, Shikoku Province, Japan when he started to experience a sensation of weightlessness and saw what looked like multicolored electrical discharges around him. Suddenly, about 30 meters away, a short white creature appeared. The being had red eyes and a mouth and was wearing a white inflated “astronaut” suit and a round white helmet. It floated just above the sand, looking towards the witness who heard a loud sound resembling “electronic music.” He apparently passed out and did not see the humanoid depart.

Event 37132 (211050DE)

Date: 4/6/1975
Location: PORTO RICO, Miramar de San Juan
Description: (Translated from French) Willie Lopez at the Rock Radio studios on the top floor of the Darlington building heard three knocks clearly at around 10:30 PM at the outside window, just behind the control desks. Through the curtains he saw something bright moving quickly, but being alone he called a friend living in the building to come join him. At 10:45 PM, not having waited for his friend’s arrival, he suddenly pulled the curtain and saw, a few centimeters above the cooling tower, a bright yellow object about 12 meters in diameter, stationary and swaying slightly. Frightened, he closed the curtains, interrupted the music program to broadcast on the airwaves the story of his adventure. However, his nerves had been severely tested and he had to be treated for some time afterwards.

Event 37137 (59388887)

Date: 4/6/1975
Description: At 2:00 a.m. two 18-year-old youths, Rod Seagraves and Mike Lewandowski, were driving west on highway A from Wausau, Wisconsin toward Athens when their CB radio stopped working. Mike saw a UFO about 1500 feet north of the road. It was flat on the bottom and dome-shaped on top, and was on or just above the ground. It shone with a pulsating silvery-gray light. In another five minutes of driving they saw what looked like a seven-foot tall “tree trunk” near the road. It was about 100 feet away, and Mike saw it moving slowly. He then drove away toward the west. Reaching Wausau, they parked the car behind a restaurant and both fell asleep at around three a.m. When they awoke at 6:30 a.m. the car was in a different location in the parking lot, both were dirty, and a quarter of a tank of gasoline was gone, which suggested to them that they had driven back to the location of the UFO, but had no recollection of doing so. In subsequent months Mike reported having trouble with his thinking, and his memory was poorer than before the incident.

Event 37140 (BCDAFD5A)

Date: 4/6/1975
Description: On this night in San Juan, Puerto Rico Willie Lopez, a disc jockey, was working in the penthouse studio of WBMJ atop the Darlington Hotel when he heard three knocks on the window of the terrace behind his control panel. There was no way for anyone to get out there without going through the studio, and Lopez had seen no one come in. Curious, he went to the window and saw a “glowing figure” outside that ran and hid behind one of the columns atop the hotel structure. Nervous, he called the station manager Jose Manuel in the hotel. He then went back to the window and saw a luminous oval object 40 feet wide, no more than 4 feet from the hotel tower, performing a slight rocking motion in the air. He was so stunned that he pulled the curtains from the curtain rod. Going back to the controls, he cut into the music broadcast to describe to his listening audience what had just happened. About this time, Jose Manuel arrived at the studio. The disc jockey was in such a state of shock that he had to be taken to the hospital and sedated.

Event 37156 (741A6E27)

Date: 4/18/1975
Location: PORTO-RICO, Ponce
Description: (Translated from French) San Lucas hospital’s concierge, Mr. Orlando Franceschi, saw something pass by the window in the back courtyard around 8:00 PM. Thinking it was a stray dog, he went out with a shovel: he saw a monster, 1.5 meters away from him. It was 1.3 meters tall with big ears and a big nose, a slit for a mouth, two black spots for eyes, vaguely resembling a monkey, walking like a zombie. The witness quickly gave it a shovel blow to the chest, making it retreat, then a second blow with another retreat. As he was about to give a third blow, he fell off balance and couldn’t get up: the creature was gone. In the night, five young people coming back from Glenview had seen a strange dwarf to which they had thrown stones. Near Franceschi’s house, a dead rooster was found the next morning. A week after the event, the witness “heard voices”. He heard them seven times in a row and they told him that on May 31st, churches should remain open all day so people could pray. If this didn’t happen, even worse things would happen. In fact, nothing happened at all.

Event 37165 (56724BD7)

Date: 4/22/1975
Location: MEXICO, Mexico City and Queretaro
Description: (Translated from French) (cf. December 22, 74) Lya waits for Professor Hernandez, sitting in her car and they go to Queretaro, get out, walk a hundred meters, to find themselves in front of a small saucer of 3 meters, landed. Lya manipulates a small box that she holds in her hand, and the saucer opens, they board. Hernandez sees the lights of the city disappear, then realizes they are in orbit, he sees several satellites in space. The conversation is ecological, talks about climate changes and their cause. They talk about the ozone hole, deserts and virgin forests. She asks him to stop nuclear testing. Then she lands and takes the professor back to his car. She announces her departure for a group of extraterrestrials called in her language the Xhumz (note from vog: she read “The Cycle of Tchaï” published in 1968 and 1969 by Jack Vance!) and who have invaded our earth for 6000 years. They are responsible for abductions and animal mutilations. She also explains that the white race on earth comes from Maldek who gave birth to the world of Sion. They are responsible for the disappearance of the Atlanteans. (note from vog: she does Pangermanism and anti-Semitism!) In his diary Professor Hernandez will note several times how his contacts with Lya have changed his way of being and thinking. He will write e.a. “when I talk to her about my life experiences, she believes I’m crazy and I’m going to end up in a psychiatric asylum” On February 2, 1984, Hernandes mysteriously disappeared, leaving no trace (vog: was it looked for in all the madhouses?).

Event 37166 (0B3199D8)

Date: 4/22/1975
Description: On this day Professor Hernandez met a woman named “Lya” who claimed to be an extraterrestrial near Querataro, Mexico. They drove together in a car to an isolated area where he had had previous close encounters. They parked and walked about 100 meters on foot to a saucer-shaped craft about three meters in diameter. Lya took out a small, handheld device, and an opening on the craft became visible. They got inside and embarked on a journey. Hernandez soon realized that he is orbiting the Earth, and he was able to see several satellites in outer space. There conversation was mostly about ecological concerns and the coming climatic changes. They talked about changes to the ozone layer, deserts, forests, etc. Lya told him that the aliens insisted that all nuclear tests must come to a complete halt. Hernandez was later brought back to his vehicle. He was then told that their group of aliens was leaving Earth, and was going to be replaced with a more aggressive extraterrestrial race, who would be mostly responsible to forced human abductions and animal mutilations. Professor Hernandez mysteriously disappeared on February 2, 1984 and has never been heard from again.

Event 37168 (8E519811)

Date: 4/25/1975
Location: France, Marly le Roi
Description: (Translated from French) At 9 PM, 4 people from the P. and T. home in Marly le Roi observed an elongated, triangular-shaped light phenomenon moving parallel to the southern horizon towards the north. Initially yellow, the phenomenon took on a green hue and stretched out like a ruler. It then maintained both colors: green in the front, yellow in the back. The object moved like a piece of gum being stretched and shrinking in fits and starts. One of the witnesses observed a small trail of balls following and persisting for a few moments behind the ruler. The object moved faster than an airplane, but slower than a shooting star. Its height on the horizon was 20°, and the angle of vision between appearance and disappearance was 90° to 100°. Apparent dimensions at arm’s length: during phase 1 (triangle): 5 mm for the thickest part and 18 mm in length. During phase 2 (ruler): thickness less than 10mm, length 30 mm. Color of the phenomenon: 144 and 358 of the “Pantone” shade card (April 25, 1975)

Description: A UFO dove at spectators who had stopped to watch it along the side of a highway in Gerena, Sevilla, Spain, causing the witnesses to panic. The six witnesses got back into their cars and drove away, but were chased for two miles. The red, elongated or ovoid object came so close that the drivers were dazzled by the light. When they pulled into a filling station for santuary the light finally shot off rapidly to the east. The incident lasted approximately eight minutes.

Date: 5/1975
Location: Bosque County, TEXAS
Description: The reports of low-flying helicopters spotlighting cattle ended (apparently) in May. In response to citizen complaints, the Federal Aviation Administration conducted an investigation in July and August. The Air Force denied having any helicopter activity in the area and, according to the FAA: "The Army was operating some helicopters in (the) area earlier this ye~r, but without more definite information on dates, times, etc., they cannot confirm any specific flights. They stated it is not their policy to fly at night with their lights off. Two military reservations are located to the south of the area in question: The Army’s Fort Hood in Coryell County and Gray Air Force Base in Bell County. Cattle mutilations occurred in both counties, with one on Fort Hood

Event 37186 (533DA29A)

Date: 5/1/1975
Location: FRANCE, Lezay “Vaugru”
Description: (Translated from French) Gendarmes Dutel and Stroka of the Lezay brigade saw, during a patrol, near the Bois de La Trouille (vog: !) at 23:10 a bright yellow ball of 20 cm moving from east to west and approaching the ground at a regular speed. This object seemed to want to land at a short distance from them. They moved towards the supposed landing site and saw through the hedges 3 or 4 m from the ground a sparkle. At 23:17 they got out of the vehicle not seeing anything particular in this area. Almost immediately they heard a slight rustling of wings and noticed that a machine, whose shape and color they could not distinguish, was rising quickly from east to west, showing two faint red luminosities horizontally distant from each other by about 60 cm. The estimated distance of the object was about thirty meters. At 23:20 the object regained its bright yellow color and stabilized at an altitude they could not appreciate. The apparent diameter was 20 cm. During the prolonged immobility they observed it with binoculars, and saw two fins of 10 cm one above, the other below the disk which seemed to be dotted with black spots. At 23:25 they went in search of other witnesses. Around 23:45 the object quickly disappeared towards the west.

Event 37190 (0E142D80)

Date: 5/3/1975
Location: MEXICO, in flight, above the Ajusco Mountains
Description: (Translated from French) Carlos Antonio de Los Santos Montiel, 23 years old, pilot, aboard his Piper Aztec PA-24, found himself accompanied to the left and right of his aircraft by a saucer topped with a dome with a small porthole and an antenna, all of a mouse gray color. In front came a third saucer at high speed, just diving under the plane. There was a strange noise, like a shock. The pilot realized that the saucer was trying to lift the plane and the pilot tried rolling movements, but the controls did not respond. He nevertheless managed to establish radio contact with the Mexico control tower at 12:15. The three objects raised the Piper 200 m and slowed its speed to 40 km/h. Vertically from Tlalpan, the object on the left went in the direction of the volcanoes, immediately followed by the one on the right. The pilot does not know what became of the third saucer. On approach to the airport, the aircraft responded again to the controls, except for the landing gear which refused to come out. After 40 minutes of attempts, finally the gear came out and the plane was able to land without further damage. It is 13:34. (May 3, 1975)

Event 37199 (916C2C11)

Date: 5/3/1975
Locations: Zihuatenejo, Guerrero, Mexico; Mexico City; Laguna de Tequesquitengo in Jojutla, Morelos; Popocatépetl volcano; Freeway
Description: 1:34 p.m. Carlos Antonio de los Santos Montiel is flying a Piper PA-24 Comanche from Zihuatenejo, Guerrero, Mexico, to Mexico City at about 15,000 feet. While passing over Laguna de Tequesquitengo in Jojutla, Morelos, he feels a strange vibration in his airplane. Then he sees to the right, pacing alongside, a 10-to 12-foot-diameter disc with a dome on top. Another appears to the left of the plane, and a third disc approaches head-on, dropping beneath the plane. Carlos feels a jolt as if the object has impacted. He pulls the landing gear lever, but it fails to operate. The plane feels as if it is pulled or lifted, and the controls refuse to respond. Although badly shaken, Carlos notifies Mexico City by radio, describing what is happening. At the same time, air control radar is showing unexplained objects near his plane that are capable of sharp turns, unlike normal aircraft. Finally, their blips merge on the radar screen and speed away toward Popocatépetl volcano. After the objects leave, Montiel is able to lower his landing gear manually and land safely. Aviation personnel who know him testify to his sobriety and trustworthiness. A week later, de los Santos is invited to discuss the sighting on a TV talk show. As he drives to the interview, a large black Cadillac limousine pulls in front of him on the freeway. An identical car appears behind, forcing him to the side of the road. Four tall, broad-shouldered, pale-skinned men in dark suits jump out and approach him, still in his car. Speaking Spanish in a mechanical tone, one warns him to keep quiet about the sighting “if you value your life and your family’s too.” He breaks his appointment, and does so a month later after another visit by the men in black before an interview with J. Allen Hynek.

Location: Mogford Road south of San Antonio, Texas
Description: 9:15 p.m. Alois Olenick, 48, is driving west on Mogford Road south of San Antonio, Texas, when an amber- colored object rises up from a grove of trees. The object approaches him quickly, the light on its front changing from amber to red. When it hovers over his pickup for 10–20 seconds, the lights go out and the engine goes dead. He can see two occupants through a clear dome on the top of the UFO. They are bald with long prominent ears and long noses. The bottom of the object is “highly polished metal” that casts a reddish glow. Olenick hears no engine noise, only a shriek of wind. The object takes off straight up and vanishes instantly.

1975 - At 9:15 p.m. Alois Olenick, 48, was driving westward on Mogford Road to a nearby store in southern San Antonio, Texas when he saw an amber-colored object rise up from a grove of trees 900 yards away. It then approached his 1959 Chevrolet pickup truck, dropping in altitude, and the main light on the front of the object changed from amber to a blindingly bright, cherry-red light. When it was directly over him it beamed a spotlight on him, and at the same time his truck’s lights and engine died, and his truck was nearly buffeted off the road by a strong wind. “When the craft got directly over the top of my pickup,” Olenick said, “my lights went completely out and my engine was dead.”

He got out and saw a globular craft with two conical protrusions on either side that could have been a central ring (making an overall Saturn shape). The bottom was of “highly polished metal” with a reddish glow. When the UFO tipped at a 37-40 degree angle toward him, he could see that the top half was transparent and that it contained two humanoid occupants, visible by a reddish internal light. They were 5-feet tall or less, with bald heads, large pointed ears, long noses, and slit-like eyes. Their skin appeared smooth and grayish in complexion. They seemed to be handling controls. He said, “They appeared to be just as interested in me as I was in them. One of the occupants, the one farthest away from me, appeared to be the pilot and had his hands on what looked like controls. He was looking up and away from me. The other occupant looked directly at me…and appeared to be observing me. I got a good look at both of them. They weren’t human beings like we see here.”

There was no sound of a motor coming from the object, but there was a shriek of wind like a cyclone below the craft. Then the UFO turned its lights off and took off staight up, with a gust of wind that buffeted his pickup, and vanished almost instantly. There was an odor “like burning copper or electrical wiring” (he was a sheet metal worker) that persisted inside the truck for some time. His eyes were affected, and he had to wear dark glasses after the effect for some while as a result. (Sources: David F.

Event 37222 (023280C3)

Date: 5/10/1975
Location: USA, Florence, Kentucky
Description: (Translated from French) (between 9 and 10 pm) Chuck (15 years old) had gone out, after turning on the outside lamp, to bring in his horse. (…) Suddenly an abnormal noise had occurred in the immediate surroundings. It was a buzzing, similar to that of a swarm of bees. Having turned around, the young boy had seen an immobile object, about seven meters high, above his neighbor’s vegetable garden, some 25 meters away. (…) According to Chuck, the UFO had started to go up and down like a bobbing cork in the water. At that moment the ground had vibrated. There were two distinct sources of light on the object. One, radiant and green, came from a rectangular section, under the craft, near the front. (…) The rectangle, about three meters long by one meter twenty wide, was faceted or rather had rows of circular lenses, but the whole gave off a stable and green light. (…) The other light came from the tail of the craft which narrowed down to a needle point. It shone by pulsations, with flashes of brick red. (…) On the top, towards the front, there was a kind of dome without a source of light, without portholes or other particularities. (…) The porch lamp of the villa and the lights coming from the windows were reflected on the body of the craft, which thus appeared of a beautiful metallic green. (…) “Then a ray of light came out of the green rectangle. It was a darker green, perhaps olive green and it lit up the bushes in the neighbor’s courtyard. (…) It was a beam of light, like a laser”. (…) The beam came towards me and touched me. It was as if someone had thrown a bucket of very cold water at me? I suddenly felt frozen. I could not move anymore (…) I was like cast in plaster (…) “I did not lose consciousness, but I had strange thoughts coming from outside” (…) “I saw mathematical equations apparently without sense, and I remember having seen the omega symbol” (…) “Then the ray went out and I fell face down on the ground”. (the UFO had turned off its ray but was still there) “The buzzing became more intense, then there was a very high pitched metallic sound, through which I heard another sound, regular, like a drum beat. (…) The craft suddenly turned around, pointing vertically towards the sky, tail down. It stayed in this position for 4 to 5 seconds, then the brightness of the tail intensified, and everything became like a confused cloud”. Chuck still remembered a soundless purple flash, followed by three or four seconds of silence, then a loud clap of thunder. The UFO had gone. (…) (May 10, 1975)

On that same night two poor quality photographs were taken of a Saturn-shaped UFO seen above some trees in Colpo, France. The object had antennas and emitted beams of light.

Event 37271 (34DAF96F)

Date: 6/9/1975
Location: FRANCE, Saint-Tudel (Tudec?) (Finistère)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 11:45 PM, returning from a hay errand in a tractor, André François, a farmer, observed a luminous ball about 60 cm in diameter. He parked the tractor in the barn and sat on a hill to observe the thing, which was about 250m away, for 5 minutes. When it began to rise very, very slowly, he called his wife and for another 5 minutes they observed together the slow ascent of 1m up to 100m as it moved away to the NNO in complete silence. Then, returning home, his wife went to bed. The farmer went back out and still saw the ball at the same altitude, when after a minute he received two violet reflections directly in his eyes. It hurt so much that he could only see black and he was very scared. (Robert ROUSSEL: “OVNI, la fin du secret” - Belfond 1978, p. 48, 49) André François, a farmer, was returning to Quémestéfan when his attention was drawn to the northwest by a strange light. Intrigued, he approached and was able to better make out the configuration of the phenomenon. “It looked like a cylinder about 60 centimeters in circumference. The craft was very bright. At first it was stationary, then it moved on a horizontal trajectory that I estimate to be 60 meters. Its speed was constant and regular. Then, before disappearing, it emitted two violet rays that completely blinded me. Its altitude was about 15 meters.”

Description: (Translated from French) At around 11:40 PM, Jean-Pierre Narlot had just parked his car along the wall that encloses the castle park. He was accompanied by Sylviane Uyttersprit. It was pitch black, the moon had set about an hour ago. They saw a light, the UFO crossed a path, passed behind a small hedge and appeared in its entirety: two triangles joined together forming a cream-colored diamond shape that was shining but not illuminating the surroundings, 4 meters wide and 2.50 meters high, 50 cm from the ground. It moved slowly without making any noise above a field of broom. It stopped after a few minutes, a dark band seeming to come from the back of the object on the right side, which was the blurriest, unrolled downwards on the left side. Then the shadow disappeared and the object resumed its original shape. Mr. Narot then turned around…

It resembled the character from the old advertisement for the thermogene. This human shape leapt over the wall of the courtyard, apparently without touching the ground, and disappeared into the path leading to the M farm. A few seconds later Miss Maria saw the character jump from a meadow about 120 m away. She did not see its head or limbs but is sure it was not a real human person.

Description: (Translated from French) At around 11:15 PM, Mr. Plaquet was closing the shutters and saw a dark cylindrical object in a vertical position at 10 meters altitude. At the top of the object were two antennas, like butterfly antennas spreading outwards. Each antenna had an orange light at its tip. Three identical lights were placed one below the other on each side of the walls. A non-blinding white light was emitted at the base of the cylinder. The object was above a cement post. The object pivoted and the witness only saw a vertical row of orange lights. Then the object moved at the speed of a car for 200 meters, stopped just before disappearing behind the roof of a house and made the same journey in the opposite direction, stopping above the post. There it then made a vertical jump and moved away to the west.

Date: 7/1975
Location: CHINA
Description: (Translated from French) It was only in July 1975 that “China 3” was launched. It was, in this case, a real giant, whose weight, although never revealed, must have been around 3 and a half tons. A more powerful rocket, derived from a long-range missile, had therefore been used. From then on, the Chinese were able to launch satellites that were no longer just symbolic. (July 1975)

Event 37330 (E9E5259D)

Date: 7/1975
Locations: Tasman Highway; Hobart Airport, Cambridge, Tasmania
Description: 9:30 p.m. A family of four is driving home along the Tasman Highway near Hobart Airport, Cambridge, Tasmania. The interior of the car becomes hot, the engine stalls, and they roll to a stop. Although there is no smell in the air, the family feels that they can taste something like gasoline. Then they see an object hovering above the road ahead of them. It seems 650–980 feet distant and 65 feet in the air. It looks round, is colored a metallic grayish-white, and has its own irridescence or glow. The diameter is close to the width of the road, perhaps 16 feet. They stare at the object for 2 minutes. Suddenly, in a spiraling take-off, the object speeds away to the south. The husband is a car mechanic, and he finds nothing wrong with the car. He gets back in, starts the car, and they go home without further incident, although the object still is visible several more minutes as a diminishing light.

Description: (Translated from French) (Source: Canadian Northeastern Ufo Organization) A UFO landed on the land of farmer Joseph Borda. The provincial police arrived to investigate and took samples of a strange blue-green substance. According to the ufology group investigator, Thomas Grey, this farmer had seen a UFO topped with a luminous dome in his field while he himself was busy on a tractor doing a spreading. Two days later, while inspecting his tobacco field, he finds a circular area where all the plants were burned. The police found no other trace of vandalism. The soil samples with the blue-green material were analyzed and it appears to be an unknown silicone-based oily substance. A similar incident occurred in another farm in the area in 1962. However, in this case, Mr. Borda had not alerted the police and was surprised to see a limousine registered in Arizona heading directly to the damaged area without asking for his permission. Angry at this intrusion, he followed them and found the three occupants busy taking samples. When he asked them what they were doing there, they replied that he could go back to his work as this did not concern him. So Borda called the police.

Description: (Translated from French) (cf: June 1966) Many amateur astronomers had taken to following the passages of “Pageos”. On the evening of July 12, they were surprised to see in place of the satellite, a multitude of small luminous bodies. The best equipped observers, particularly in England, counted up to 27 of them, of which only 5 or 6 were visible to the naked eye. (…) The calculation of the speed of the different fragments led to the estimation that the explosion occurred at 10 minutes past. At that moment, Pageos was off the coast of Peru, above the Pacific, in the firing line of a missile fired from Kwajalein… (July 12, 1975)

He recovered quickly, and then all four of the witnesses fled the scene. Some glowing powder was allegedly found on the ground in the area later.

Event 37367 (AE5DAD96)

Date: 7/12/1975
Description: At 12:50 p.m. Richard W. and three friends, Pat S., Nancy T., and Ross K. were having lunch together at a coffee bar in Dunedin, New Zealand. The weather that was cold and damp and all of them were feeling a bit under the weather. They sat around a table located opposite the stairs and quietly ate their lunches. All of a sudden time seemed to stand still. The noisy and busy coffee bar, occupied by 80 people, became absolutely silent, when everything froze in place like a still frame from a motion picture. People were twisted in strange and unstable positions, frozen while performing movements, and their bodies looked comic. Richard remembered witnessing a cloud of steam suspended motionless in a dynamic configuration above the expreso machine. He also remembered seeing a waitress pulling out hot cakes from the oven, and sustaining their heat in her motionless hands. In the entire cafe only the four of them seemed to be unaffected, thus having the occasion to observe what was actually happening. At the top of the stairs leading down to the coffee bar from street level an unusual man appeared. He was about 1.75 meters tall and looked to be about 19 years old. He was dark, slim, thin, with olive skin and black wavy hair. His clothes looked normal, but displayed taste and elegance. Everything about him looked strikingly perfect. The man was surrounded by a beautiful white glow, especially around his head and chest. The light seemed to come not from him, but from the air that surrounded him. He glided down the stairs without moving his legs. He actually floated in the air slightly above the level of the stairs. Then he moved to the counter and stood first in the queue. As soon as he got there, everything started to happen normally again. People continued their actions from the point when they had been suspended in motion. Everything looked as though nothing had happened. The man bought a glass of fruit juice and sat at the last free chair available at a 12-person table. He acknowledged the witnesses attention with a smile. They wanted to talk to him and find out more about his unusual arrival, but there was no easy access to his chair. So they decided to leave the coffee bar and wait for him upstairs at the only way out. After five minutes of waiting and not seeing him pass, Richard went back down to discover that he had gone, yet there was no other exit from the coffee bar. The group was also quite surprised to find that their various ailments, which included the flu and a migraine headache, were gone. About six weeks later they spotted him again. He stood at the top of the stairs at the same coffee shop again, intent on entering the cafe. He moved his head in their direction as a kind of greeting. His clothes were the same, except that this time he was surrounded by a faint green glow. When he appeared nothing actually happened. He walked down as normal people do (his steps somehow lighter than normal humans) unnoticed by anyone but the witnesses. He again bought a glass of fruit juice and again sat in the same place. A few times he acknowledged their attention by a friendly look. This time they decided to interrupt him and find out who he was, so they wanted to stand up and get closer, but none of them could move. When finally they did manage to stand up, they directed themselves out of the coffee bar seemingly against their will. Pat tried desperately to turn back, but her efforts failed. After a short while Pat decided to return back inside the coffee bar, only to find that the mysterious stranger had already gone. They never saw him again.

Description: (Translated from French) Shortly after the 14th. Eric Darnaud, 17 years old, and his friend were walking to Lamastre between 10 and 11 PM. They were 100 m away from the village of St Julien la Brousse when they saw a dark silhouette walking towards Lamastre. It was a human-like figure wearing a large robe. The silhouette changed from dark to white. The entity’s movement gave the impression of gliding. In a turn, it disappeared. Then, to their great terror, they saw it come back at great speed, still gliding. The young men ran to the village, knocking on several doors that remained closed, except one. They told the old man their adventure and asked him to host them for the night. Without success. They sat on the terrace of a closed café facing the washhouse. They saw a round, red-orange, very bright light, the size of half a full moon, leaving a white smoke. (July 15, 1975)

Event 37397 (107E2FEB)

Date: 7/22/1975
Locations: Wales; Wylfa Hill; Machynlleth, Powys, Wales
Description: 5:00 p.m. A young boy on holiday with his family in Wales wanders by himself to the top of Wylfa Hill, south of Machynlleth, Powys, Wales. At the top he sees an apparently landed object. About 40 feet wide, it is comprised of a 7-foot round base and surmounted by a clear plastic–like, hemispherical dome. Large round lights about 5 feet in diameter are spaced evenly around the base, about 7 of which are visible, shining in strange colors. Each seems to be recessed into the silvery, metallic base. Clearly seen within the dome is a 7-foot-tall, 15-foot-wide, metallic unit, Two “jelly-like” entities are seen next to it, one on each side. They are approximately 7 feet tall, a whitish-translucent color, amorphous, and constantly changing shape. Inside each entity are hundreds of 6-inch, white, disc-like forms, similar to doughnuts. When another of these entities floats toward the object, the boy flees the scene and unsuccessfully tries to persuade his father to take a look. Returning alone, the boy sees the object carrying the entities disappear by pulsing in and out and changing color rapidly to match those of the surrounding sky and grass. It then “merges” into them. Immediately afterward, the boy suffers acute shock and what a doctor diagnoses as hysterical blindness in one eye that persists for months.

Event 37398 (0AFCBA78)

Date: 7/22/1975
Description: On Wyfla Hill in Machynlleth, Powys, Wales a young man saw a domed disc-shaped object that blended into its surroundings. It was estimated to be 40 feet in diameter with large round lights five feet in diameter around its base. It was near the ground only fifty feet away from him, and he could see inside the UFO that there were what looked like non-humanoid, jelly like entities. The light on top of the object and those inside the base began to glow and pulsate in a strange mixture of colors, that exactly matched the background scenery. The object went into the background like a chaleleon, and in a few moments was no longer visible. The witness suffered from psychosomatic blindness and other personality changes. Gelatinous

Event 37407 (2D7EEF43)

Date: 7/26/1975
Locations: Swiss Alps; Zwischbergen, Valais, Switzerland
Description: 3:00 p.m. Three Dutch hikers are about to take on the last kilometers of a two-day mountain trip in the Swiss Alps when they allegedly encounter a circular object hovering in the air in front of them. It seems to be made of “some sort of metal, not unlike aluminum,” is dull gray in color, and resembles an inverted soup plate. The strange contraption is approximately 50 feet in diameter and appears to be suspended over the small village of Zwischbergen, Valais, Switzerland, some 328–1,640 feet away. One of them succeeds in taking a color slide of the phenomenon. Immediately after the photo is taken, the object starts to move and glides behind the trees, where it disappears from view. Possible hoax.

Event 37410 (BC0B5400)

Date: End of 7/1975
Location: AT SEA off Spain
Description: (Translated from French) Around 11 PM. The observation was made on board a fishing boat whose home port is the island of Yeu. The captain was at the helm when he noticed that his boat was being followed by a luminous disc of metallic appearance. The size of the object was estimated at 5 meters, although its distance from the boat could not be appreciated. The object was topped with three antennas, one of which carried a green light. It swayed in the air and approached the boat when the latter turned off its lights. The captain, who was alone at the helm, woke up his crew who in turn observed the object. A strong smell of sulfur was so strong that the captain checked that his box of matches had not caught fire. After two hours of observation, the object became red and moved away at very high speed, faster than any plane could do. A few days before, another fishing boat from the island of Yeu had observed a similar phenomenon in the same area. (End of July, 1975)

Event 37414 (FE3C8996)

Date: 7/29/1975
Location: CANADA, Toronto
Description: (Translated from French) Having been warned of a UFO landing near his usual camping spot, Oscar Magocsi went there and prepared himself physically. On July 29th he finally dared to enter the saucer (without a pilot). The next day, July 30th, the UFO took off with Magocsi, flew over Canada, New York and the ocean towards Egypt. Finally the UFO landed, probably in Syria. Magocsi got out, noticed a military column with tanks and heard artillery fire. So he got back on board and when he was at 3000 m altitude, he was chased by three “Arab” planes that shot at the UFO. But the UFO sent out a blue ray that made the planes explode. The next stop was Tibet. There Oscar was introduced to an “extraterrestrial” convent. (vog: ouf! I could feel this enormity coming…) He received instruction there, as there were other people present, whites, Asians, blacks. The next day he was taken back to “his” UFO, which immediately set off towards South America. At the height of Peru, other UFOs joined them. The journey ended at Mount Shasta in California around 11 pm. (continued on August 2nd, 1975). (1975, July 29th and 30th)

Event 37417 (285B7F73)

Date: 7/31/1975
Location: SOUTH AFRICA, Loxton (Cape Town)
Description: (Translated from French) A farmer saw a UFO on the ground and small creatures with slanted eyes. He received a beam of light in his face. (Janet and Colin BORD: “Modern Mysteries of the World” - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 351) Danie van Graan approached what he initially thought to be a caravan in his field, but it had no wheels. He heard a buzzing and saw four strange occupants in the object. A light beam hit him, he was disoriented. The intensity of the sound increased and the object took off quickly. Traces were discovered on the ground, as well as gray powder, and the vegetation was affected. (Science et Vie, special edition: 50 years of UFO, Atlas of Unsolved Cases, p. 60 to 63) At dawn on this foggy July 31, Danie van Graan headed towards the water reservoir surrounded by a 3 m high earth wall, when he saw the roof of a caravan in the sheep enclosure. He knew that sometimes government prospectors come to search there (uranium) and surprised that they had not asked for his permission, he headed towards the thing, to offer a cup of coffee to the visitors. That’s when he saw that the caravan had no wheels, but rested on three crutches. He saw four men inside the object and was struck by the slowness of their movements, their small size (1 m high), their thinness and their paleness. They wore a cream-colored jumpsuit with a hood pushed back from the head. They had blond hair, slanted eyes, prominent cheekbones, and a pointed chin. Three of them seemed to be dealing with an instrument, the fourth was near a panel with flashing triangular lights. Intermittently the device emitted a low buzzing. When Danie had approached to about 3 meters, he heard the sound of a click. He saw that the four occupants were looking at him and a beam of light hit his eyes. He was swaying, felt like he was drowning, nauseous and tried to escape the light. The beam suddenly stopped and Danie then realized that he was bleeding from his nose. The buzzing intensified and the UFO took off at a dizzying speed, brushing the windmill at a few centimeters. In 20 seconds the device was invisible, on a 45° trajectory. The vision problems (double vision and lazy vision in the morning upon waking) lasted for several months.

Location: Loxton, Northern Cape, South Africa
Description: 7:30 a.m. Farmer Danie van Graan goes to inspect his sheep enclosure at Loxton, Northern Cape, South Africa, and sees a silvery disc with prong-like legs. He approaches to within 15 feet of it. Through a large window he can see 4 people, one standing near a panel of flashing colored lights, the other three apparently looking at some device. The entities are about 5 feet tall, thin and pale, and are wearing whitish coveralls with hoods hanging down around their necks. They have fair-colored hair, slanted eyes, and sharp, pointed chins. They all suddenly look up at him, and van Graan hears a “tick” noise as a light beam hits him in the face. Ill and confused, he tries to avoid the beam. His nose bleeds and he starts vomiting. The humming increases to a sharp whine, and the object takes off at a sharp angle. Later investigation reveals 4 marks on the outside perimeter of a circle 30 feet in diameter impressed in the ground, with crisscrossed central markings. A deposit of small, green granules is found near the center; analysis shows this to be carbon dust, grit, shale with feldspar inclusions, and thaumasite. Nothing grows in the affected area later.

Description: (Translated from French) (cf. July 29 and 30, 1975) (note from vog: there is a gap because he was at Mount Shasta in California and suddenly back in Canada, but with a personal UFO anything is possible…) On August 2, Oscar Magocsi boards the UFO that takes him to the mothership. On board the mothership, the journey continues and two days later Oscar arrives on a planet called Argona. The taxi driver previously encountered in Toronto now presents himself as Argus and takes him to a training center where there are other participants in the course. (vog: probably pre-Taliban!) Oscar obviously meets Quentin whose real name is Spectron, he is the commander. (…) The teaching is mystical and concerns IHM, the Cosmic Christ. On August 7, Oscar will be back in Canada. Argus warned Oscar against the MIB, who are adversaries. (August 2, 1975)

Event 37458 (6C185E32)

Date: 8/8/1975
Description: At 10:00 p.m. two teenagers in Ostricourt, Nord department, France, both 17, were watching a luminous object circle in the sky, when it came down in a field a quarter of a mile away from them. Together with a third younger witness they went off to the landing site, located among some old mineshafts and slag piles. They found the object hovering motionless about five meters above the ground, in front of a stand of trees, some 300 meters to their left. It looked like a plate turned upside down with a dome on top, with alternating red and orange lights blinking around the rim. The dome was red and the underneath portion was yellow, and it made no sound. They next saw two humanoid figures standing 30 meters directly in front of them. The beings were about 1.50 metes tall, and they were moving slowly and stiffly in the direction of the young people. They held their arms as if they were "glued to their bodies, and their legs were motionless as they glided smoothly along just above the rough terrain. Although they were brightly illuminated by a white light, they had no discernable features. After about a minute the young people, who had been petrified with fear, “found their legs” and beat a hasty retreat home. They told their parents what they had seen, but no one believed them. Next day the young people went back to the site. Although they could not find any footprints or other ground marks in the area covered by the beings, they did find the ground blackened and grass charred at the point over which the object had hovered. Two months later, when the investigators examined the site, the blackened area was still visible.

Event 37464 (A6EC798C)

Date: 8/10/1975
Location: USA, Gilroy
Description: (Translated from French) The observation began shortly after 11 pm, when the witness, a woman, drove Imelda Victor, 12 years old, home. They saw a lit object that was initially quite far away. The object quickly descended and approached their truck. Leaving the vehicle in front of the Victor’s garage, the witnesses rushed into the house. Imelda’s mother was alerted by their screams. (…) “The thing I saw was round, with 4 equidistant arms, like a landing gear. The central round section was bigger than a car but smaller than a house. Between the 4 arms there were 4 small protuberances similar to antennas coming from the center of the circle and on each one a headlight was mounted, similar to those on the top of a police car, with the difference that the lights were red and green and they were spinning.” (…) testimony of the first witness. Mrs. Victor: “I ran into the street and saw this gigantic round flying machine with 4 antennas forming a kind of landing gear and, coming out of it, all these blinking white and red lights… It was metallic gray and it was immense. It was there motionless in the sky. It was much higher than the trees.” Mrs. Victor’s husband witnessed the last part and said: "It was very big and I saw it just as it was moving away. I could see from the panel where all the lights were to the top, it had the shape of a triangle. At the moment it disappeared, the object was going very fast in the NNE direction, heading towards San José. (August 10, 1975)

Event 37478 (740A12F2)

Date: 8/13/1975
Location: Haderslev, Denmark
Description: Near Haderslev, Denmark: Police Officer Evald Hansen Maarup was driving home at 10:50 p.m. when all of a sudden his car was engulfed by a bright blue light while at the same time his car lost all power. The temperature in his car rose to that of a warm summer day and his radio was dead so he couldn’t call for help. The bright beam from the UFO was conical in shape with a bottom diam. of 4–5 meters and a top diam. at the UFO of 10 meters. Two dome-like protrusions were visible on the underside of the UFO that was hovering at about 20 meters altitude. He activated a special camera on the patrol car which automatically took 3 pictures of the UFO. As the UFO sped away he regained power to his car. The developed film which was later turned over to the Danish AF showed the light source of the UFO on it. No report or analysis has been available from the AF to date.

Event 37479 (D3E6AEFF)

Date: 8/13/1975
Location: Alamogordo, NM
Description: Staff Sgt. Charles L. Moody, USAF, drove out to the outskirts of town late one night to watch for meteors. As a disc-shaped UFO descended toward him, he tried to start his car to get away but it wouldn’t start. He heard a high pitched whining sound from the UFO and saw shadowy figures in it and felt numbness, after which the UFO departed. After driving home he found he couldn’t account for 1.5 hours. The next day his back was inflamed and he discovered a small puncture wound over his spine and a few days later he developed a body rash. As months passed he regained memory of the missing 1.5 hours. He remembered that he had been in the UFO and in telepathic communication with small 4’8" humanoids. They had whitish gray skin, large heads, large eyes, small slit-like mouths and mask-like features. He had been in a drug-like state on a table and they had poked a rod like device into his back. After this they escorted him about the ship and later dropped him off at his car.

Date: 8/13/1975
Locations: Holloman AFB; Alamogordo, New Mexico
Description: 1:15 a.m. Sgt. Charles L. Moody, stationed at Holloman AFB, is out in the desert near Alamogordo, New Mexico, awaiting a meteor shower. He sees a metallic disc drop from the sky some 300 feet in front of him. It is about 50 feet long, 20 feet wide, and faintly luminous. It stops descending at 20 feet altitude and begins approaching Moody. Uneasy, he gets in his car and turns the ignition on, but the engine is dead. Moody can see an oblong window in the UFO and shadow figures moving within. He hears a high-pitched sound like a dental drill for a short time, then he feels numb. The next thing he knows, the UFO is ascending and disappears from sight within seconds. The car starts and he drives home, where he notices the time is 3:00 a.m., representing about 90 minutes he can’t account for. Moody gets a pain in his lower back in the afternoon. Soon he is put in touch with APRO’s Jim Lorenzen, who calls him on August 21. Moody now has a heat rash on his lower body. His memories about the incident eventually return, and the Lorenzens visit him in 1976 at an overseas post where he narrates an abduction scenario with shortish, human-like aliens with big heads and wearing coveralls.

Suddenly, air traffic controller Joe Savage sees flashing lights closing in on him in a collision course. When he advises Riddle to take evasive action, the object turns orange and shoots up to 5,000 feet, where it hovers. Riddle looks behind him and sees another light trailing him a mile or so away. When he swings around, he sees it shimmering like a diamond and as big as a jetliner. Two blue beams come out from the sides. Dan Long, another controller sees the object through field glasses at an altitude of about 2,000 feet, then it moves upward while emitting a glow of green-tinted smoke and flashing red lights.

Event 37509 (B30C3E65)

Date: 8/18/1975
Location: FRANCE, between La Colle sur Loup and Cagnes sur Mer
Description: (Translated from French) Patrice Labonne, Bernard Gregory, Marion Towroslo, Claude Jouhan, Marylin Morin, Michel Pequeur (all aged 19 to 25) were camping at the “Hameau du Soleil”. Two witnesses were in a tent, the others in the cars: the tent was separated from the cars by a curtain of trees. Between 2:30 and 3:00 the witness came out of the tent and saw 15 meters in front of him, four phosphorescent masses, two to his right, two to his left: two meters high, one meter wide each. Believing himself to be the victim of a hallucination, he called Patrice Labonne, who in turn observed the strange phenomenon. Frightened, the two of them rushed towards the cars. Starting a car, everything began to light up: all the electrical equipment began to behave like a warning in action without any intervention, to make the phenomenon stop, he turned off the engine. Marylin Morin declared that the moon (which had set at 2:02) was behind a single elliptical cloud in the sky. It was of an opaque hue and a kind of trumpet, similar to a water spout, descended towards the ground behind the trees. The high-voltage line that crossed the place emitted a loud buzzing, no more night insects made noise, but the dogs barked and the roosters sang during the presence of the elliptical cloud. Three luminous points arranged in a triangle above the ground: the trumpet descended on its left side. The next day a substance ", similar to lime, formed an ellipse on the ground: it disappeared as soon as the sun appeared.

Event 37515 (39FC94A5)

Date: 8/18/1975
Description: Two men, Bernard Gregory, age 19, and Patrick Labonne, age 22, were camping in a clearing in Villeneuve Loubet, Alpes Maritimes Department, France. At around 2:30 a.m. Bernard suddenly felt uneasy, and saw four luminous “forms”. He called Patrick, who also saw them. Both men felt they were being observed. Afraid, they woke the rest of their friends. Suddenly all six of them saw a huge light and then a red cloud that ascended into the sky and transformed into a black, compact cigar-shaped object. The being-like forms were described as about 1.75 m in height, each with two eyes in the upper part. The forms were white in color, and they moved very slowly, like on rollers. As the witnesses walked away they looked back, and saw two of the forms in a tree. At this point the witnesses attempted to approach the beings, but were prevented by an “invisible” barrier. After the gray compact cigar-shaped object left, the grass at the site was found to be desiccated, and matted down in a spiral fashion. A white, oval-shaped stain resembling chalk was also found, but disappeared with the morning daylight. During the incident the witnesses noticed there was an unusual silence in the area, but dogs were heard barking in the distance.

Event 37519 (222B2B39)

Date: 8/20/1975
Locations: Albany, New York; Lake Saratoga; Albany Airport; South Glens Falls area; Lake George; Cambridge, Massachusetts
Description: Evening. Police stations in the area of Albany, New York, receive numerous calls about UFO sightings. State Trooper Michael Morgan is dispatched to the scene of one of the sightings, where a police detective is observing a blimp-sized object hovering at 500 feet over Lake Saratoga. As the reddish, glowing UFO flashes on and off, two smaller objects approach and merge with it. Air traffic controllers at Albany Airport locate the object on a radar scanner. After a few minutes, the two smaller objects break away and leave in the direction from which they had come. The first object moves toward the two policemen who see a brilliant white light shining from the center of its base as it passes over them. Silently, the craft turns and moves away slowly. Suddenly, the UFO disappears. After tracking the target for 45 minutes, the radar operators lose contact with it. However, within a short time, they receive a call from the pilot of a military airplane who warns them that he has just seen a red fireball 1,000 feet above him headed toward the airport. The controllers locate the object just as it enters the 50- mile range of one of their radarscopes. The anti-clutter device is thrown to ascertain whether or not the blip is a radar angel, but the image still comes through clearly. The controllers estimate its speed to be 3,000 mph. About five miles outside Albany, the target vanishes. The controllers speculate that it has either accelerated to a speed of 5,000 mph or has executed a seemingly impossible vertical maneuver at high speed. During the same time as the Albany sightings, large discs and bright lights are seen at low altitude less than 50 miles north over the South Glens Falls area and as far north as Lake George. The case is investigated by Ernest Jahn, who contacts the Smithsonian Institution in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They are unable to give any explanation for the sightings.

Event 37520 (D51EA9D7)

Date: 8/21/1975
Location: Kimball, Nebraska
Description: Law enforcement in Western Nebraska pursued a low-flying helicopter for around five hours, suspecting its involvement in recent cattle mutilations in Colorado. The helicopter, detected by Air Force radar in Cheyenne, Wyo, was flying between 100 to 150 feet above the ground, possibly trying to evade radar or find a landing spot. It briefly hovered over a Strategic Air Command missile site near Bushnell before fleeing. Though authorities came within half a mile of the helicopter and observed it, they couldn’t discern any identifying marks. The chase ended when the helicopter headed towards the Colorado border and vanished. Investigations are ongoing.

Event 37522 (0FF993CC)

Date: 8/21/1975
Time: early
Location: Logan County, Kimball County, NEBRASKA, and COLORADO
Description: A low-flying helicopter was pursued by several law officers in both counties (See Appendix for a more detailed account). At one point the chopper hovered over a SAC missile silo near Bushnell, Nebraska. This last action would turn out to be a precursor of similar activity over military installations in Montana, Maine and Michigan in the following months (again, see Appendix).

Event 37523 (71DCD69B)

Date: 8/21/1975
Location: Gunnison County, COLORADO
Description: Leaving the sheriff’s office after discussing mutilation investigations with Deputy David Ellis, Project Stigma investigators Tom Adams and Gary Massey drove south toward Saguache County on Colorado highway 114. Nearing the county line, they observed a small helicopter (of the Hughes “Cayuse” type) flying west-southwest across the highway toward the Powderhorn Pinos Pass area, where a cattle mutilation had occurred earlier in the week. The helicopter was filmed on Super 8 movie film as it passed out of sight over a ridge. The distance was too great to discern details.

Event 37524 (B9EBD09B)

Date: 8/22/1975
Location: FRANCE, Saint-Evarzec
Description: (Translated from French) Around 8:15 pm, two regular customers of the local bar burst in: - “Come quickly, there’s a flying saucer…” This was immediately met with general hilarity. (…) Then they all decided to go out onto the sidewalk, near the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nabucet. They just had time to join the previous witnesses when suddenly an “object in the shape of an overturned ashtray” appeared above the “Gouffès” wood. This object was hovering at the height of the roof of a nearby house: it was moving quite slowly and then suddenly stopped a little further away. That’s when the witnesses saw a “beam of light coming from the craft, like a flashlight” but much more powerful, of a raw, very bright white color. (…) the observers agree to describe this beam as cut off at its end. (…) The phenomenon lasted a few moments without a sound and nothing could be seen except for some bright points. And suddenly, as if the light source was cut off, everything went out! (Jean François BOEDEC: "Les OVNI en BRETAGNE, Anatomie d’un Phénomène, ed. Fernand Lanore p. 67) At 8:55 pm, about ten people saw an object in the shape of an overturned ashtray above the Gouiffès wood. The object emitted a beam of light that seemed to be looking for something.

Description: At 11:30 p.m. two young men were making a bulk newspaper delivery between Boulogne and Lille by motorbike when they were followed briefly by an unknown “vehicle” in the vicinity of St. Omer, Pas-de-Calais, France. A short distance further they saw a light in a field a few hundred meters from the road. They stopped to look, and they could see an ovoid object on the ground, lit from within by a yellowish white light. It was approximately 3-4 meters long, and to its right were two human forms about two meters tall that stood side by side. The figures were completely illuminated by the light from the object, so none of their features could be made out. The figures began walking very quickly toward the young men. Frightened, they took off on the motorbike and continued their journey. Several kilometers further on they saw the object ascend into the sky at an angle. Perhaps because of their astonishment and fear, they were unable to locate the exact site of their experience when they went back with investigators later.

Maria-José went out to the balcony on the first floor and heard guttural voices that seemed to be coming from a microphone. Suddenly, she could no longer hear the voices, but she saw a dark, elongated mass silently gliding down the road in front of the gate, 15 meters away from her. The object was about 2 meters high and had two chrome-like bands running along its length. The craft passed by and Maria-José heard the guttural voices again, fading away. Her friend inside asked her what it was. (1975, late August)

Description: 4:00 a.m. Near the Grand Forks AFB ICMB Complex. Sandra Larson, age 32, and her daughter Jackie, age 15, were being driven from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota by Jackie’s boyfriend when they heard a loud rumbling, thunder-like noise and saw eight glowing orange spheres descend from the sky. The objects stopped in mid-air, and three of the objects shot back upwards. This being had a luminosity around its head and shoulders, and it had long metallic-appearing arms. Its body was like “brown vinyl.” (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1975-28, citing Jerome Clark and Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle). (NICAP: 07 - Entity Cases)

Event 37544 (E211C1C7)

Date: 8/26/1975
Locations: Fargo, North Dakota; Bismarck, North Dakota; Interstate 94; Tower City, North Dakota
Description: 3:15 a.m. Terry O’Leary, his girlfriend Jackie Larson, and Jackie’s mother Sandy Larson leave Fargo, North Dakota for Bismarck, which they plan to reach around 7:00 a.m. Forty-five miles into their trip on Interstate 94, they see a brilliant flash of light and sounds like thunder. About 50 yards away on their left, they watch 8–10 orange, glowing objects heading south to east. One is distinctly larger than the others. The lights descend in a straight line at a 30° angle until they stop over a grove of trees. Suddenly one of the objects splits in half and others shoot away. At this point, the witnesses feel peculiar sensations of being unable to move. Jackie finds herself sitting in the back seat (she had been in the front seat with the others) and the lights are gone. The witnesses drive on to Tower City, North Dakota, where Sandy notes the time is 5:23 a.m., an hour later than it should have been. Through a mutual friend, Sandy eventually contacts ufologist Jerome Clark, who puts her in touch with psychologist R. Leo Sprinkle, who has used hypnotic regression in abduction cases. Sprinkle conducts three hypnotic sessions with Sandy and Jackie Larson on December 4–6. Sandy remembers a 6-foot-tall entity that looks like a mummy, various medical procedures, and a journey to a place with sand. She has further regressions with Sprinkle in January and February 1976, and she describes an otherworldly journey with three beings on a UFO. Clark writes: “What makes the Larson story interesting, in retrospect, however, is its anticipation of many abduction motifs which, though barely noted or entirely unknown in 1975, had become repeatedly demonstrated aspects of the experience by the late 1980s.

Event 37546 (65DA9F44)

Date: 8/26/1975
Description: near Buffalo, North Dakota - Sandra Larson, age 32, and her daughter Jackie, age 15, were being driven from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota by Jackie’s boyfriend when they heard a loud rumbling, thunder-like noise around 4:00 a.m. and saw eight glowing orange spheres descend from the sky. The objects stopped in mid-air, and three of the objects shot back upwards. Sandy had a peculiar feeling as though the car was motionless, and at the same time Jackie suddenly found herself in the back seat with no memory of how she got there. When they got to a gas station they discovered that an hour of time was unaccounted for. Later, under hypnosis, Sandra recalled having been “floated” from the car into a UFO, where a six-foot tall being (1.8 m) with a mummy-like head bandaged up in tape, with the eyes remaining visible, had performed some sort of surgical operation on her on a medical table. She had the sensation that even her brain had been briefly removed. This being had a luminosity around its head and shoulders, and it had long metallic-appearing, mechanical arms. Its body was like “brown vinyl.” No communication with the being was recalled.

Event 37551 (A7547FDA)

Date: 8/28/1975
Description: In a scrub pine forest near Truro, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, Lloyd Costa saw two people near a round dome like “tent” in the early evening. The dome was 20 feet in diameter and only 35 feet away. A fluorescent blue light came from inside it. He walked away, but then heard a humming noise and looked back to see that the “tent” was encircled by multicolored rings. It began to rise and fall, and luminous portholes were now visible on the craft. A car stopped and Mr. Elfe, a friend, came through the woods calling for him. He also saw the UFO. The people near the object were described as resembling small “puppets,” and were surrounded by something gauzy. There was an almond smell in the air that made Mr. Costa sick. His friend helped him back to his car. The next day he returned to the spot and found a circle of approximately 20 6-inch holes. There were also some pieces of a white woven material, “like spider web, but very strong.” The witness recovered some and took it home. He also took home some of the trampled pine needles, which still had the almond-like scent. When he put these in a cardboard box next to some potted plants, the plants died three days later.

Event 37553 (D5F05056)

Date: 8/29/1975
Description: (Translated from French) In France, a French gamekeeper spotted a green cigar: At 6:25 AM, it was normally daylight and the weather was slightly foggy, I was parking my moped against a slope and my gaze was automatically directed towards the farm (…). Suddenly I saw a strange craft hovering vertically above this house and about 50 m in altitude. This craft was coming in my direction. It had the shape of a shell, its color was very light green, when it passed in front of me the craft dazzled me as if looking directly at the sun. On its passage it left a trail that could be a kind of condensation and not smoke. It emitted absolutely no sound, its passage probably lasted only half a second. Its speed seemed slightly higher than the majority of meteors that can be commonly observed in space (…). It seemed to me that the cylindrical craft at the back measured 2 m in diameter and about 3 m in length. It apparently had no windows or other visible openings. There were also no fins or other superstructure on this craft. The back was flat and light green in color as well as the entire body in the shape of a shell. (August 29, 6:25 AM)

Rafael Muñoz Pastor is returning to Jerez air base [now Jerez Airport], Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz, Spain, piloting a Grumman AN-1 antisubmarine aircraft with four other crew members. He is flying at 3,500 feet and is already on the landing approach to Jerez, when he receives a call from the Seville air traffic center asking him if he can see any aircraft over Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Cádiz, where they have a radar target. The crew is seeing a “round light, brilliant red in color and with yellowish edges” in the area, so they are ordered to get closer. When they are 4–5 miles from Sanlúcar, the red ball ascends vertically from 1,000 feet to some 10,000–20,000 feet. Numerous residents of Sanlúcar also see the object from cafes. An F-5A fighter is scrambled from Morón Air Base in Seville province, which also spotted the object, and the Grumman returns to Jerez after viewing the light for an estimated 45 minutes.

Event 37609 (B07EE665)

Date: 9/11/1975
Description: Bernie, a young Milwaukee truck driver, was driving his truck near Rockford, Illinois around 1:00 a.m. when he had an “out of body experience” (OOBE) and the next thing he knew he found himself in a UFO. He conversed with a human-like entity, whom he identified as “Bob C”, telepathically for nearly two hours. During this exchange he was given a number of apocalyptic prophecies, and was then handed a cube-like device (or crystal) with instructions that if anyone should demand it, he should surrender it immediately. He then found himself back in his truck. When he arrived at his destination and parked his truck, he got into his car to drive home and found his passage blocked by a UFO. Several “Men in Black” (MIB) types confronted him and asked for the device. He turned it over to the men. Following his experience, he claimed to have a number of additional telepathic communications with “Bob C.”

Event 37619 (9D94DEAD)

Date: 9/15/1975
Location: USA, Industrial City (California)
Description: (Translated from French) (cf: August 10, 1975, Gilroy) Mrs. Victor was at a family member’s house. After watching television for a while she went to sleep in a room at the front of the house. Suddenly, she woke up and found two beings standing near her. They were wearing silver suits and had small slits for eyes, nose and mouth. Their suit covered their whole body as if it had been painted and molded rubber. The surface was smooth and without wrinkles. She felt very calm when she saw them. They seemed to communicate telepathically, asking her to “come with them”. (…) One of the two lifted Mrs. Victor by the elbows. Together they went to the front door. Mrs. Victor felt like she was flying. She clearly saw the flat roof, the garage. She saw the stars above her and a UFO hovering. It was identical to the one she had seen in Gilroy. They floated inside, passing through the heart of the object through its material and followed a ramp that went up at least three levels. One of the beings stayed with her, leading her into a circular room with an emerald floor, illuminated by a milky white light. The walls were silver, smooth, with large round instruments. She had a feeling of immense beauty. To her left was a door. Suddenly something traumatic happened. She was blinded by a white light, remembers nothing else and prefers not to know the end of the story. She woke up in her bed and realized it was day. (…)

On August 10, a lighted object followed and badly frightened 12-year-old Imelda Victor and another woman as they were driving to the girl’s house. The girl’s mother also saw the object, which had “four large landing gear like arms coming out of it.” On this night Mrs. Victor (a doctor by profession), woke up to find two beings in silvery suits standing near her in her bedroom. They had small slits for eyes, the nose and the mouth. She felt very calm. They asked her telepathically to go with them, and she found herself floating up into a hovering UFO. As she floated up she clearly saw the roof of the house and the stars. Inside, she had a sensation of intense beauty, with emerald colored floors. The walls were silvery, smooth, and with large round instruments. She was then blinded by a white light, and the next thing she remembers she woke up in bed.

They noticed that as they were traveling they were the only vehicle in the road, and there was total silence in the area. Suddenly, a very tall gray figure with bits of white hair appeared in front of the car. It had luminous oblong shaped eyes and what appeared to be white whiskers. The humanoid figure seemed to be in total “control” and had a “majestic” air to him. It also had a long tail that narrowed towards the end. The driver swerved to avoid hitting the creature, and temporarily ran off the road, so they did not see the humanoid depart.

Event 37650 (D10413AF)

Date: Fall 1975
Location: Jianshui County, Yunnan, China
Description: Evening. Two soldiers of a Chinese People’s Liberation Army unit stationed in Jianshui County, Yunnan, China, encounter a huge saucer-shaped object circling above their heads and emitting beams of soft orange-colored light. One of the men runs into the camp to sound an alarm, while the other stays to watch it. A few minutes later, the camp commandant and about a dozen armed men run up to the barracks entrance and find no trace of the soldier who had stayed behind. The commandant orders all officers and enlisted men to search, but they do not find him. A few hours later, four soldiers taking over sentry duty suddenly hear the sound of someone moaning behind them. They see the missing man, who has reappeared. His eyebrows, beard, and hair have grown extremely long. When he fully regains consciousness, his memory is completely gone. His wristwatch shows that it had stopped long ago. His weapons and watch are found to be slightly magnetized.

Date: Fall 1975
Locations: Toppenish, Washington; Ahtanum, Washington
Description: 4:00 a.m. A couple driving east toward Toppenish, Washington, see a bright white light that appears overhead and slightly ahead of them. At first they think it might be a helicopter with a searchlight, but then an area about one mile in diameter lights up around their car, their radio becomes noisy, and their headlights dim. The flood-lit area suddenly goes out and the light speeds up in the sky and disappears. When they reach Ahtanum, Washington, about 25 miles from the first incident, the bright light again appears overhead briefly, then streaks away and disappears.

She saw a helicopter fly over a field about 100 yards away. It flew down below a building on the property, then flew to within 100 feet of the house. The sound seemed “muffled”. The rancher was convinced that at least one of his mutilated cows had been dropped (into a pool of water) from above.

Event 37655 (029AA5C0)

Date: 9/25/1975
Locations: Coloraro; Texas; Minnestoa; Nebraska; Kanasa; Arkansas
Description: Since mid-1974, ranchers in the Midwest and other regions have been troubled by unexplained cattle mutilations, with no signs of these bizarre killings abating. Recent mutilations have appeared across several Colorado counties, with 58 cattle reported dead and mutilated, often found with vital organs missing and no blood traces. Wild theories have suggested devil worshipers or even extraterrestrials might be involved, though no evidence supports these claims. This phenomenon isn’t limited to Colorado; states like Texas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, and Arkansas have reported similar cases. Concurrently, there have been numerous reports of unidentified and often silent helicopters, leading some to speculate a connection between the two mysteries. Authorities and organizations, including the FBI and the Cattle Raisers Association, have tried to curb the mutilations and investigate the helicopters to no avail. Amidst the rising panic, the Army has even advised helicopter pilots to maintain altitudes above 1,000 feet to avoid being shot at by alarmed ranchers. These events mirror a similar wave of cattle mutilations and mysterious helicopters in 1973.

Description: A member of the U.S. Air Force, at home on leave in Mountlake Terrace, Washington was awakened by barking dogs at 5:50 a.m. He saw a bright red sphere about a foot in diameter hovering 12 inches off the ground in front of his parked car. Beside it stood a man about 6’ 5" tall. The witness next heard a high-pitched, beeping sound that made him feel as if he were going to faint. He awakened his wife and the beeping sound immediately stopped. When they looked again the sphere and the figure were both gone.

Event 37660 (E4724479)

Date: 9/26/1975
Location: France, Assevent - Maubeuge
Description: (Translated from French) At 9:40 PM several inhabitants of the village and the surrounding area saw an enormous light disk - estimated to be 250 to 300 m - slowly oscillating on the edge of a private airfield in Salemagne, where no aircraft was present at the time. Coming from different directions, about ten witnesses converged towards the field in their cars. The motorists were about 500 m away when the engines of their vehicles stalled, their headlights went out and their car radios suddenly went silent. The witnesses approached on foot, amazed and a bit worried at the sight of this mysterious hovering craft, about twenty meters above the ground and whose countless portholes emitted, they report, a not very dazzling light. An officer of the reserve, witness like the others, saw a kind of cone detach itself from the central dome of the UFO, take altitude, pirouette like a top, then land again on the base hull which disappeared into the night sky in five seconds, leaving behind a kind of fluorescent cloud which did not dissipate until after about ten minutes. No trace: no footprint or trace of combustion.

It was clearly something huge, impossible to define, it was already night. The sky was cloudy and covered, it was not cold. I turned off the headlights. The phenomenon seemed solid, it projected light rays in all directions that seemed white to orange, then blue. It projected luminous sparks. The multiple projections occurred at intervals of about every 20 seconds. The brightness and luminosity were quite bearable.” The object disappeared in the distance.
