Update History:

v1.46: Adding ~3700 events, translated from the French chronology Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI by Belgian ufologist Godelieve Van Overmeire, 1935-2021. Note these events are from the old HTML version on archive.org, not the larger (10k event) PDF version. It is unclear if these events are copyrighted. I didn’t see a copyright in either the HTML or PDF versions.
v1.43: Added ~3160 events, translated from a French chronology to English using OpenAI, from rr0.org. I believe this chronology was composed by Jérôme Beau. Its license is here.
v1.40: Added digitized events/newspaper clippings from Frank Scully’s papers at the American Heritage Center in Laramie, WY, summarized the events from the timeline on the Disclosure Diaries website, and added more misc. events. Fixed auto-translation issue in the search page.
v1.38: Added a client-side search engine. There are a bunch of features I’m going to add to this engine, for now it can only search for keywords in the desc, location and and reference fields.
v1.37: Updated intro text, added total number of events to each event year, added a few 1800’s events.
v1.36: Extracted and summarized the events in the book It Didn’t Start with Roswell by Philip L. Rife. Also extracted the military UFO events from Richard Dolan’s book UFOs and the National Security State: Chronology of a Cover-up, 1941–1973.
v1.34: Added more modern events, 1917 Mystery Airplane newspaper articles.
v1.33: More events: Events from George D. Fawcett, short AI summaries of Stringfield’s 1978 MUFON symposium presentation, and short AI summaries of the pre-industrial era sighting events from the book Wonders in the Sky: Unexplained Aerial Objects from Antiquity to Modern Times.
v1.30: Added 203 Mystery Helicopter/mutilation related events (1970’s-1980’s) compiled by author/researcher Thomas R. Adams (1945-2015) (or see here), from his book The Choppers - and the Choppers, Mystery Helicopters and Animal Mutilations, minor fixes
v1.28: Added KWIC (Key Word in Context) index.
v1.27: Imported Anonymous PDF’s contents, originally from here, with fixed URL’s
v1.23-1.24: Added a handful of key historical events, such as Edward Tauss the head of CIA UFO disinformation in the 50’s
v1.22: Fixing the date of Dr. Eric W. Davis’s March, 2020 classified briefing to the Senate (I had it listed as March 2019) - info from NY Times. Basic locations added to Eberhart records using OpenAI.
v1.20: Split up into 5 parts, to work around iPhone web browser limits. Minor spelling and grammer fixes throughout timeline.
v1.15: Eberhart records now have basic locations, thanks to OpenAI’s Davinci-3 AI model. They aren’t perfect, but it’s a good start to geocoding them.
v1.14: Added nuclear test data, over 2000 records, from the Worldwide Nuclear Explosions paper by Yang, North, Romney, and Richards. Note the locations in the paper are approximate, and the yields are not super accurate, which are two problems I’ll fix over time. I improved the coordinates of the earliest USA/USSR tests by looking them up from Wikipedia.
v1.13: Split up the timeline into 4 parts. Still not the best solution, but it avoids croaking browsers.
v1.12: Added *U* database record data, using a custom event description decoder to handle his 1k+ abbreviations and custom syntax
v1.11: Crawled all ~10.5k unique URL’s in this timeline using curl and fixed dead URL’s to use archive.org.
v1.10: Added NICAP DB data.

Important Notes:

Best viewed on a desktop/laptop, not a mobile device. On Windows, Firefox works best, followed by Edge, then Chrome.

I’ve split up the timeline into 4 parts, to reduce their sizes: distant past up to 1949, 1950-1959, 1960-1979, and 1980-present.

The majority of the events in this chronology are sighting related, however it’s important to be aware that this is a timeline of
UFO/UAP related events, not necessarily or exclusively UFO sightings. This is not exclusively a UFO sightings timeline or database.

Some sighting reports or events appear multiple times in this timeline because they appear in more than one data source. I view this as a useful feature.

Currently, the events are not sorted by time of day, only by date. Some sources have separate “time” fields, but most don’t. This will be fixed once the event times are automatically extracted from the description fields.

A few events don’t have firm dates, for example “Summer of 1947”, or “Late July 1952”. In these instances the compilation code uses fixed dates I selected for date sorting purposes. (See the code for the specific dates.)

Source Code:

This website is created automatically using a C++ command line tool called “ufojson”. It parses the raw text and Markdown source data to JSON format, which is then converted to a single large web page using pandoc. This tool’s source code and all of the raw source and JSON data is located here on github.

Event Timeline

Year: 1980, 725 Event(s), (Back to Top)

Event 42814 (D64CDDFC)

Date: 1980’s
Location: Area 51
Description: Area-51 workers and widows said that throughout the 1980s the Air Force and its contractors regularly filled 55-gallon drums with toxic wastes, emptied them into football-field size trenches, doused them with jet-fuel and burned them. They claimed that the U.S. Air Force generated and mishandled hazardous substances, and that the Environmental Protection Agency failed to take necessary action to enforce the requirements of the resource conservation act against the Air Force.

Event 42815 (8267877D)

Date: 1980’s?
Description: The fake USG document AFOSI counterintelligence officer Richard C. Doty delivers to Bennewitz makes its way to the American public and is the subject of various books and media. Doty redirects attention away from AFOSI’s surveillance of U.S. citizens interested in UAP by claiming “NASA” investigated Bennewitz. It was later admitted the NSA investigated Bennewitz and Doty changed the description in the fake document.

Note: AFOSI’s actions against U.S. citizens reduced trust in government among the domestic population over time, fueled anti-government conspiracy theories in popular media, and caused great confusion over who and what controlled access to UAP information after Project Blue Book.

Event 42826 (2CE6BEF8)

Date: 1/1980
Location: Brazil, Tres Coroas
Description: (Translated from French) At the beginning of 1980, the 30,000 residents of the city of Tres Coroas, south of Rio de Janeiro, experienced the strangest concentration of UFOs ever seen elsewhere. For 20 days, balls of fire followed cars, flames erupted unexpectedly anywhere without causing fires, and squadrons of strange-shaped flying objects flew over the city at varying speeds. A flaming object followed Joao Jose de Nascimento’s car when he was returning home late at night. “I had the feeling that it was trying to capture me,” he said. “I was very scared.” When he got home, his son Vicente told him they had seen “a flying onion” in the sky, with green, orange, and blue lights. (…) Antonio das Gacas Santos, from the military police, hurried to see what was happening at the neighbor’s house, whose garden was violently lit. “I clearly saw a creature, resembling a human being, with its arms outstretched. I could not see any physical details, but I heard a faint cry, like that of a puppy. My neighbor touched the creature and fell back, shocked. I was scared, but it was an unnatural fear, I still get goosebumps when I think about it.”

Several teenagers are still awake, lying in hammocks and talking, when they see the UFO come across the river, stopping about 30 yards from the beach and shining a light on the water 60 feet below. The UFO hovers briefly then begins moving north, parallel to the shore. It travels more than half a mile, with the spotlight shining straight down before it disappears. The light beam leaves a trail of luminescence for several hundred yards.

Event 42835 (DB9760D7)

Date: 1/5/1980
Description: At around five a.m. the witness, a 33-year-old painter living in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England suddenly awoke in his bedroom to see a huge two-meter tall glowing green figure standing at the foot of his bed. It looked to him more like a holographic image than a solid figure. The being apparently communicated with the witness using telepathy. Among the many things mentioned was that his race regularly transported human beings to other planets in order to colonize them. When a planet was in danger of overpopulation they somehow started a war in order to reduce the number of inhabitants on that planet. He also warned that the Earth was in danger of “breaking in half.” Apparently the witness’s wife slept through the entire encounter.

Event 42846 (A8560202)

Date: 1/14/1980
Locations: Burnley; Todmorden, West Yorkshire, England
Description: 6:05 a.m. Truck driver William Barrett is on an early delivery run from Burnley to Todmorden, West Yorkshire, England, when he hears a deep humming sound. Looking ahead, he sees a machine with flames underneath hovering at a lay-by off the roadside. He slows his truck to a near crawl and moves past the object, which looks like a “toast rack” with curved sides and three red glows emerging from the edge to create a misty fuzziness obscuring the base. Now only 25 feet away, he sees that it has a bell- or tortoiseshell shape with a metallic sheen and a tube sticking up from the top. The red glows emerge from under a rim that runs around the lower part of the object. He can now see two figures standing in front of the object, one standing erect and wearing a uniform with a peaked cap, and the other crouched forward, wearing a silvery-gray jump suit. As he passes, the arc lights on the object start flickering like a disco. His headlights go out, and his mind gets hazier and he loses consciousness. He experiences missing time until he jerks awake sometime around 8:30 a.m.

Description: 10:30 p.m. Chilean astronomer Fernando Noël is at his home in the eastern suburbs of Santiago, Chile, when he sees a luminous point of light at 20° elevation moving from southwest to west. It is silent and resembles a satellite. He calls two other witnesses, during which time the object disappears. At 10:45 p.m., he sees a bright light moving slowly toward the zenith. Looking more closely, he sees it is actually a group of 30 objects in a V- formation. Each individual light of the group is pale white with a slight tint of yellow. The formation moves from 20° above the western horizon to about 20° above the eastern horizon before disappearing gradually. The duration is approximately 2 minutes.

Event 42853 (B81AC84E)

Date: 1/21/1980
Locations: Council Bluffs, Iowa; Pioneer Trail; Longview Drive
Description: 11:40 p.m. Seven women are driving home in two cars from a bridge game near Council Bluffs, Iowa. The first car with six witnesses, including Marilyn Anderson, sees a cluster of lights in the western sky as they are driving on Pioneer Trail. The lights are hovering about 200–300 feet above a bluff less than a city block away. When they stop the car to get out for a closer look, the lights speed away to the southwest. The seventh woman, in a separate car behind them, does not see the lights, but Anderson tells her about them when she pulls up. She continues driving home, but when she gets to Longview Drive, her car stalls, and the radio and lights go out. She restarts the car, but it stalls out another quarter-mile away. A bright orange light appears in a cornfield about 900 feet away with an intensity that hurts her eyes. Scared, she locks herself inside the car and passes out. When she wakes up, her car is turned sideways across the road, but she is able to drive it home. She can still see the orange light from her kitchen window, but she has some blotches and redness on her skin that fades by 4:20 a.m.

Event 42870 (E1DD87A7)

Date: 2/6/1980
Location: PORTUGAL, Montargil
Description: (Translated from French) At 11 o’clock, the 55-year-old farmer Paveo, like every day, was with the sheep in the pasture when he heard a strange noise and his sheepdog was in a panic. Mr. Pavao then understood that something unusual was happening behind him. Turning back as quickly as possible, he was surprised to find two motionless entities, standing 2.4 meters tall, looking at him fixedly. They were completely dressed in gray, but their faces were uncovered and seemed close to human. Except for the eyes and skin color, which were different. They had huge hairy hands. The strange entities approached the witness, seeming friendly and touched his right shoulder and other parts of his body. They spoke a kind of language made of modulations resembling the human voice. At this moment the witness saw that they had teeth and that they moved their lips to speak. One of the entities pointed to the sheep and Mr. Pavao, thinking that he wanted to know the name of the animals, told them. The entities laughed and talked. (…) This event was the cause of nightmares for this witness.

Event 42873 (6D133C70)

Date: 2/6/1980
Description: Mr. Pavao, a 55-year old farmer from Montargil, Portugal had just left his farm and was taking his sheep to the fields at around eleven o’clock in the morning. He heard a noise and had a feeling that something was happening behind him. At the same time his dog started to panic. He turned and was surprised to see two eight-foot tall humanoids standing close to him and staring at him. The humanoids looked very strong and were dressed in gray suits. Their faces looked human except their eyes and skin appeared different. Their hands were hairy and very big. The beings approached him with friendly gestures and touched his left shoulder and several other parts of his body. At the same time they spoke in an unknown language with a modulation similar to human speech. One of the beings then pointed to the sheep, and Mr. Pavao told him the type of animal it was. Meanwhile the two beings kept talking and laughing. The witness then gave an order to his dog to fetch one of the sheep. When he looked back towards the beings he saw an intense flash of light that blinded him for a few seconds. After that the beings had vanished.

Date: 2/11/1980
Description: At around 4 p.m. a woman in Bisuschio, Italy went outside to hang some linen to dry and was looking towards a nearby hill when she saw a strange dwarf creature in a tree about 50 meters away. He was about 30-40 cm tall, and was wearing black clothing. She went back inside and looked at the creature again out a window, at the same time calling her son to come see. She also called her mother in-law on the telephone. The boy observed the tree with a pair of binoculars but was unable to distinguish any additional features. The being appeared to move from branch to branch, and then seemed to stand on a very thin branch that appeared incapable of supporting his weight. The humanoid looked to be trying to conceal his face with his hand. He soon disappeared from sight.

Event 42882 (1D338677)

Date: 2/11/1980
Description: In Botafuegos, Spain later that same night five witnesses, including Rafael Tobajas, spotted a low flying whitish-orange luminous object lifting off from some nearby woods. Minutes later the object divided into three separate luminous sections, then re-united again into one luminous spot. Using a pair of binoculars, they watched the lighted object descend in a falling leaf motion. Near the ground two huge man-like silhouettes appeared in front of the lights. They were grayish in color and over three meters in height. They made huge leaps and strides over the ground, jumping easily over obstacles, but they seemed to move in slow motion and stayed in front of the luminous orbs of lights. According to Tobajas, the humanoid forms stopped briefly by a small creek and seemed to bend down several times. The humanoids suddenly began running at witnesses, who became terrified and drove away frantically from the area. The tall gray humanoid forms persisted in chasing the witness’s vehicle for several minutes. Tobajas reportedly encountered similar humanoid figures at night, one year later.

Event 42883 (3D77BCB1)

Date: 2/11/1980
Description: At 10:00 p.m. Carlos Vommaro, age 22, was driving home from dinner at his girlfriend’s house westbound on Route 22 between the towns of Ingeniero Huergo and Cervantes in Rio Negro province, Argentina when he noticed a strong glowly light over a field 200 meters away, on the left side of his truck and at about 30 meters altitude. He described the object as having two big “L” structures with a luminous rectangular form inside. The edges of the luminous “L’s” seemed to be covered in a diffused vapor that seemed to reflect the light. Perplexed, Vommaro watched the object as it came parallel to him. Vommaro then decided to escape, speeding up to about 60 mph when suddenly everything around him became dark and he blacked out. When Vommaro woke up he found himself leaning over the steering wheel. The light was now on top of the vehicle, and suddenly from the area of the luminous rectangular area a beam of light shot out, which seemed to spread out in width the further away it got. The beam of light covered the vehicle, but not its interior; it seems to be stronger at the point of origin. Terrified, Vommaro jumped out of his vehicle, running for help but the road is completely deserted. A couple of minutes later he saw a car approaching from the direction of General Roca, and he frantically tried to flag down the car. The car slowed down briefly, but then sped away. Perhaps the approaching driver had seen the luminous object still hovering above the road. After coming to his senses Vommaro now realized he was outside of the town of Cervantes, located more than 15 km away from were he had been, and he has about an hour of missing time he can’t account for. When he got home his dogs reacted strangely, did not seem to recognize him, and attempted to attack him. The next day he suffered from lack of appetite, weakness, lumbar back pain, and leg pain. There was also some damage to his car. There were numerous other UFO reports that evening from Argentina and Chile.

Description: Four family members of a family in Buen Consejo, Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico were awakened at midnight by noises on their patio where they kept caged rabbits. When they looked out they were stunned to see five strange looking beings inspecting the cages. Two of the beings were five feet tall and the others were three tall and more heavy-set. The tall thin creatures wore brown one-piece brown outfits, and had grayish skin with large ears, large eyes, and large flat noses with large thick lips. Their fingers were large and were connected by a thin membrane. Both carried a bright metallic-looking sphere in their right hands. The smaller beings were similar in appearance, except they had large bright medallions hanging from their necks and belts. A fifth witness later saw the same five beings enter a landed disc-shaped craft on a roadway near the village.

Event 42960 (A79B997C)

Date: 4/1980

Event 42961 (2413119F)

Date: 4/1980
Location: USSR
Description: (Translated from French) A third phase of satellite interception experiments began in April 1980 and appears to still be ongoing. In total, no less than 47 satellites have been used in this program, including radar calibration satellites launched in parallel. The Cosmos 1171 and 1241 targets, launched in April 1980 and January 1981, were thus approached at high altitude a few days later by the Cosmos 1174 and 1243 fighters.

Event 42962 (FB9D4622)

Date: 4/1980
Location: central Texas
Description: A farmer in central Texas is walking through his pasture to check on a cow that is about to give birth. Instead, he sees two nonhuman creatures carrying a calf between them, each holding one of its limbs. They are about 4 feet high and light yellow-green in color. He runs away and does not return to the location for two days, whereupon he finds the carcass of the calf. It looks as though it has been turned inside out, and only the head, feet, and hide remain. Researcher Tom Adams says the farmer is extremely reluctant to discuss the incident any further.

"There were a lot of clouds, but one could still clearly distinguish the spinning of the object. It was emitting a very intense yellow light. On the edge of the object there was a black zone and a white one (…) Twenty minutes later, the yellow object crossed the clouds and disappeared into the distance, but through the clouds one could still make out its yellow light.

The base commander orders a Sukhoi Su-22 fighter-bomber to destroy the target, assumed to be a Chilean balloon. Lt. Oscar Santa María Huertas commands the scrambled aircraft. As soon as the object is in his sights some 1,800 feet above the ground, he fires 64 rounds from his 30mm guns at it. The bullets seem to hit the object without causing any damage. The UFO then hurls skyward at tremendous speed. Huertas follows, putting the Sukhoi into Mach 1.2. As he approaches, the object makes a sudden stop and the Sukhoi flies past it at 36,000 feet. Further maneuvering takes place, and Huertas finds the object chasing him at one point at 62,000 feet. He abandons the mission 52 miles away from the base. After he lands 22 minutes later, the object reappears at the base and remains visible nearly 2 hours. A Department of Defense information release gives an erroneous date of May 9, 1980.

Event 42998 (499D0473)

Date: 4/18/1980
Location: USSR, SPACE
Description: (Translated from French) Above the USSR, the satellite Cosmos 1174 passed 8 km from Cosmos 1171, launched two weeks earlier. This near collision at a thousand km altitude was not the result of a mistake, but a deliberate act. Cosmos 1174 was a hunter and Cosmos 1171 was its target. However, a small error did not allow for full success, as the encounter was supposed to take place not 8 km away, but a few hundred meters. In any case, this was the seventeenth experiment of its kind credited to the Soviet Union since 1968.

Event 43006 (788624FB)

Date: 4/20/1980
Description: Barrio Aguerre, Ciudad Treinta Y Tres, Uruguay. At 12:40 a.m. 19-year-old Luis Vital Carneiro was returning home after visiting friends during a powerful electrical storm in the region. After entering a field through a gate he noticed a strange light cavorting over the field. Then, about 50 meters away near a barbwire fence, he noticed two short humanoid figures. Curious, he jumped the fence and approached the figures. At a distance of ten meters from the humanoids he noticed that they were projecting lights from the top of their heads down toward the ground. These lights suddenly turned red, and the two figures disappeared to re-appear 30 meters from the road. As Carneiro attempted to jump the barbwire fence again, a beam of light struck him that knocked him senseless. When he regained his composure Carneiro ran to his aunt’s house nearby and told her what had happened.

Mrs. Orialis De Los Santos, his aunt, went out into her garden where she saw in the nearby field a group of four humanoids that seemed to quickly glide back and forth above the ground. Accompanied by Vital, they then counted a total of thirteen humanoids that “glided” about in different directions, within an area of about 100 square meters. For almost an hour the witnesses watched the strange humanoids cavort about as if playing. Vital Carneiro again attempted to approach one of the humanoids but again was knocked down by a beam of red light that seemed to come from the creature’s head. He fell to the ground feeling as he had been struck by lighting. Concerned for his safety, Mrs De Los Santos ran to her stricken nephew and dragged him inside the house.

From inside the house they could still see the short humanoids gliding about, plus at about 500 meters distance, behind some trees, a large bright silvery light appeared on the ground that began slowly rising up and down. The witnesses described the humanoids as 60 cm in height, with very large heads, triangular faces, large pointed ears, and rounded eyes. Their bodies were small and “rectangular” in shape. They wore a kind of gray uniform and a rounded cap from where the beams of light originated. They seemed to communicate among themselves in quick bursts of “buzzing sounds.” They glided quickly across the ground and according to Mrs. De Los Santos they stood on small rounded platforms. However, Carneiro does not recall seeing the platforms.

Description: At 7:40 p.m. on this evening Sr. N. Sayago was driving his car on the outskirts of the city of Santa Rosa, La Pampa province, Argentina when he noticed something falling from the sky near some high-tension power lines. His vehicle suddenly stopped and could not be re-started again. He next felt a chilling breeze at this heet. He looked up and saw a very tall being gesturing at him. He was approached by two of these seven foot tall creatures, who he described as seven feet tall, with webbed hands, long pointed ears, protruding mouths, and almost no hair. They both wore shiny, almost luminous black diver suits. Their faces resembled very gaunt skulls, with hollow eyes and no visible noses. The beings moved their lips but did not speak. One of them took his hand with both of his cold hands, and Sr. Sayago beganto feel weak and dizzy. He then passed out. When he awoke he and the car were ten blocks away from where the encounter had taken place. He was hospitalized for a nervous breakdown.

Location: Ellsworth AFB in Rapid City, South Dakota
Description: Early afternoon. Thousands of base personnel and their families are congregating at Ellsworth AFB in Rapid City, South Dakota, to watch an SR-71 Blackbird take off after a refueling stop. A1C John W. Mills III and a few other airmen are on top of the barracks for a view. They see an odd, triangular object above the B-52 Alert Pad about half a mile away. It begins to move down the flight line, and they see it is a gray-black delta shape at an altitude of 500 feet. For some reason it is not visible through the pair of binoculars they have. It makes a right turn and suddenly disappears above a parachute-rigging building. The SR-71 does not take off. Later in the day, an official “flash” message goes out to base personnel telling them not to talk to the press in case they had seen anything.

Description: 10:15 a.m. A Santa Clara County park ranger and another county employee are in the hills east of San Jose, California, when they see a shiny, mirror-like spherical object moving north to south. They take turns studying it through binoculars. The object has a blue-green band in the center and is orange at the bottom. It makes rapid up- and-down motions as it moves forward and spins faster as its speed diminishes. The object stops and spins toward Lick Observatory to the east of their position for 10 seconds. Then it accelerates rapidly and speeds away to the south. The sighting duration is 3–4 minutes.

Event 43030 (7B061C04)

Date: 5/5/1980
Location: USA, Redding (Northern California)
Description: (Translated from French) The observation had taken place from 9:05 PM, the time of the karate class ending, to 10:10 PM, the time they arrived at their friends’ place. A woman driving in a street of Redding, accompanied by her two daughters (15 and 14 years old) and another girl of 13 years old, had been frightened by a sudden puff of smoke or fog that enveloped her van. All the noises seemed to have stopped around the 4 women while they “floated” inside this cloud. Worried, they went to their friends’ place as soon as they left the cloud. They discovered they had “lost” 30 minutes, time during which they could not account for their activities. During the following hours they suffered from various physiological reactions and the next day marks, resembling strange bites, appeared on the skin of two of the girls. They had dreamt of men pointing various kinds of weapons towards their heads. The witnesses reported the case to the police who advised them to address a private organization for UFO research. [note from vog: the author links the observation and the troubles to causes such as an exacerbated religiosity and a form of hysteria, though…] (1980, May 5 or 7)

Description: As she is driving home from Oklahoma to Eagle’s Nest, New Mexico, Myrna Hansen and her 6-year-old son see several UFOs in a field near Cimarron, New Mexico, after which they suffer confusion and a 4-hour loss of time. Paul Bennewitz, an Albuquerque, New Mexico, owner of humidity equipment company Thunder Scientific and a UFO investigator, on May 11 brings psychologist R. Leo Sprinkle in to meet Hansen. He hypnotizes them and gets a detailed abduction story from the mother, who also remembers watching the aliens mutilate a calf. Hansen also remembers being taken by the UFO to an underground area in New Mexico (leading Bennewitz to suspect it is the Manzano Weapons Storage Area at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque) where she sees tanks of water with cattle body parts, as well as a human arm.

Event 43041 (1D0A3462)

Date: 5/7/1980
Locations: Dachstein Mountains in the Austrian Alps; Air Control Center in Vienna
Description: 3:50 p.m. A Dutch KLM airliner is flying just over 30,000 feet above the Dachstein Mountains in the Austrian Alps. The pilot sees a gray spherical object flying overhead, which he reports to the Air Control Center in Vienna, which contacts the Austrian Air Force. Maj. Karl Schwarz orders three Saab 105 aircraft to intercept. Once they make visual contact, two of the jets attempt the intercept while the third takes film footage. The UFO’s erratic movements, however, make it impossible to follow, and the object is soon out of sight. At 5:50 p.m., a German Lufthansa airliner comes in close contact with a similar object, Schwarz orders two more fighters to scramble. The Saab 105 pilots think the object’s variable speed means it is playing with them. It is flying some 9,800 feet above them, but they cannot maneuver well enough to catch it.

All normal noises ceased, while the women seemed to “float” inside a “cloud”. Very worried, as soon as they were able to leave the “cloud” they drove to a friend’s house, where they discovered that they could not account for 30 minutes of time. During the hours that followed they suffered from various physiological reactions and the following day, marks resembling strange punctures appeared on the skin of two of the girls. Soon afterwards they experienced strange dreams in which “men” were pointing strange weapons or objects at their heads. The witnesses reported the strange event to the police who advised them to contact a private UFO organization.

Date: 5/9/1980
Locations: Bargersville, Indiana; Empty Fields
Description: 9:00 p.m. A woman is driving home with her daughter in Bargersville, Indiana, when bright red flashes of light illuminate the inside of her truck and the surrounding area. The flashes are caused by red balls of light about the size of lemons in the empty fields around them. The balls blink on and off in succession, climbing up one telephone pole. Moving down, and crossing the road to perform the same motion on another pole. They approach the truck, forcing her to back up the truck. Finally, the phenomenon ceases and she drives home. When they get there, her German shepherd dog starts whining and barking. Her husband steps outside to see what’s going on. Suddenly, their two daughters start screaming as small red balls of light move across their mother’s back and behind her hair. She does not feel anything, but the dog runs to the barn and stays there all night.

Event 43053 (65266E61)

Date: 5/13/1980
Location: Belgium, Eben-Emael
Description: (Translated from French) Near the intersection of the borders with the Netherlands and Germany, close to the Albert Canal, the mushroom farm was located almost in a strategic military place and the galleries established in the caves of the rocks. Around 10 o’clock the owner of the place was coming out in the courtyard of the farm (about 20 m x 15 m), face to face with a circular object of a diameter of about 5.20m, hovering 50 cm from the ground. From the dome of the craft an staircase unfolded to the ground and a man came out from above, descended the staircase and remained motionless at the foot of the craft. Two other men did the same and the trio headed towards the witness. They had an absolutely human appearance, pale face, slightly slanted eyes and a stature of about 1.60m. They wore green suits. One of the characters said (or exclaimed) “What are we doing here?”. The brave witness explained as if it was a question asked, that he cultivated mushrooms and asked if they wanted some. They wanted some. Flanked by the three visitors, the witness went to the cellar and took a crate of mushrooms that he wanted to offer them. But the leader of the trio only wanted one mushroom from the pile. As soon as the mushroom was placed in his hand he turned around and the three individuals rejoined their machine, climbed the staircase, and the machine took off very quickly in the direction of the Netherlands. Finally the gendarmerie of Bassenge was notified and the witness interrogated. In the afternoon he received a visit from two military men in navy blue uniforms, who made him understand “it’s better that he had seen nothing”. These military men spoke French with a Liège accent. [note from vog: The secret NATO base Cannerberg, the 2nd ATAF Joint Operation Center, is located in the municipality of Maastricht, on the Belgian border. It is an underground base, buried under a mountain that counts 85 km of galleries and which hosted between 1960 and 1992 more than 4000 military personnel from several countries. What is done in this base? It’s top secret, but as it was said in the Dutch press in 1995 “the military worked there in the field of communications” - excerpt from the article “Contaminated Soldiers, Cannerberg. There was asbestos in this secret NATO base installed two steps away from Eben Emael…” by Jean Michel Crespin]

After they are out of the beam’s path, the lights do not flicker again.

Date: 5/16/1980
Location: CHINA, Beijing
Description: (Translated from French) …very late at night (…) I went out into the courtyard to breathe the fresh air. Suddenly I noticed that the landscape became very clear all of a sudden. (…) I immediately saw an orange-red object floating above the roof of the house across from me. I felt scared by this unexpected foreign object. At first glance, this object seemed oval, resembling a heated electric iron. This red iron suspended in the sky of Beijing began to zigzag from southwest to northwest. It flew slowly, its big nose slightly raised and there was no trail behind it. We did not know at what altitude it was, it made no noise. (…) it was composed of several luminous bands of hemispherical shapes. Initially oval in appearance, it gradually revealed itself as a cone whose sharp outline was enveloped by a layer of yellowish mist. (…) it was as big as two full moons, but much less luminous. (…) between the dome and the main body, there was a belt of white light. In the blink of an eye it passed the agglomeration and the roof of the houses in front of me prevented me from continuing the observation. I saw it for three minutes, the clock marked 1:14 am on May 16.

Event 43064 (163B2943)

Date: 5/16/1980
Locations: Działoszyn, Poland; Wielún
Description: 3:00 p.m. A civilian pilot is flying a Pirat glider near a cement mill in Działoszyn, Poland, when he notices an object maneuvering across the fumes from factory chimneys below. Seconds later it moves in front of the glider, and he takes evasive action. It is an isosceles triangle shape with a side length of 30 feet and a dull brownish- green. At one point it turns up one of its corners at an angle of 45° in an apparent attempt to correct its flight. Then it changes orientation to the horizontal, shrinks in size, and disappears. A similar object is seen the same day near Wielún.

The animals have died of natural causes, he contends, and the mysterious aspects can be explained prosaically. He cites ornithologist Kenneth Sager: “The larger the animal, the more difficult it is for the scavenger to gain access to the food supply below the tough surface. [Thus they attack the] softer points of entry, namely the eyes, anal openings, and the soft underbelly areas, especially the udders of female bovines.” L. D. Kuttner of the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine says that many scavengers can make as clean a cut as “might be done by a surgeon with a knife.”

Event 43092 (4EAD0398)

Date: 6/14/1980
Location: USSR, Moscow
Description: (Translated from French) From 23:50 to 00:30 (or 00:30 on June 15) a half-moon of red-orange color followed by a luminous trail appeared above Kalinin to the north of Moscow, flew over Klin, Moscow where it stayed for 5 minutes, Ryazan 180 km to the south, then Gorki to the east where it also stopped for 5 minutes before finally disappearing in the direction of Kazan. During its passage, cows mooed, dogs barked and the population was panicked. Migs took off to try, in vain, to contact it. Thousands of Russians watched for 40 minutes this huge vessel which was visible on a trajectory of 800 km traveled at a speed estimated at 1500 km/h. According to the calculations of astronomer Felix Zigel, the diameter of the central part of the craft was 120 meters and its average altitude 90 km. It often changed speed and altitude and from time to time expelled smaller objects which spread in the sky. Two of these small objects were seen in Moscow. Lieutenant Colonel Karyakin noticed a saucer of about 4 m in diameter which stayed suspended for 2 minutes buzzing at 30 m above his house, then directed 3 jets of blue-green light towards the ground and flew away in a few seconds. Another witness saw in the craft a small figure in a space suit. In Certanovo, a southern suburb of Moscow, a television director named Koeshov distinguished a dark and buzzing mass placed in the street, with a small man walking around it. A few moments later a blinding light passed in front of his window and his wife felt a burning sensation on her arms on which red patches appeared and then disappeared.

c0mmando · May 26, 2024, 4:34am

s president himself, Iouri Andropov, who has just seen the UFO spotted at 10 PM the night before. The object is heading towards Moscow, where the sighting is confirmed by the astronomer Gindilis on duty that night at the observatory. The air defense radars have not detected anything, but the military think of a surprise attack by the Americans and trigger the alert. The UFO flies over the main airport of Moscow where it causes panic. Hundreds of witnesses see it emit a luminous crown and transform into a giant jellyfish: it moves away and expels 3 small UFOs which the Migs will vainly chase. Andropov orders the Institute of Studies of Magnetism and Earth Radioactivity to seriously study these UFOs still called anomalous atmospheric phenomena. (June 14, 4 AM)

Event 43099 (2D5CF7E1)

Date: 6/14/1980
Location: Moscow, Russia
Description: Evening. Many residents of Moscow, Russia, see a huge, reddish-orange, horseshoe-shaped object accompanied by swirling luminous gases. Some 250 miles to the west, Lt. Col. Oleg Karyakin hears a low- frequency booming noise and sees a bright object less than 500 feet away. He runs toward it, feels some resistance, but continues until he is about 150 feet away. It gives off a high-pitched sound and briefly emits three white rays, then ascends rapidly, hovers for 2 seconds, then moves to the northwest and vanishes. Shortly afterward, he sees a large, reddish UFO above some treetops. Another bright object is accompanying the first, flying horizontally and leaving a fiery trail. Some 30 others witness this event. Soviet investigators conclude that the objects were the launches of two communications satellites, a Gorizont and Kosmos 1188.

Date: 6/14/1980
Locations: Córdoba; Jorge Newbery; Ezeiza; Buenos Aires; Rosario; Argentina; Pajas Blancas Airport; Uruguay; Brazil; Chile; Paraguay
Description: 7:00–8:00 p.m. A flurry of UFO sightings by numerous witnesses takes place in Córdoba, Jorge Newbery and Ezeiza airports in Buenos Aires, and Rosario, Argentina, including airport personnel and meteorologists, with extensive newspaper coverage. Objects appear singly and in “fleets” and are described variously as “luminous oval-spherical,” “spinning top,” spindle-shaped, and a sphere that emits “an intense luminous ray that illuminated the surface of the river.” At Pajas Blancas Airport in Córdoba, a UFO causes operations to be stopped for several minutes after it follows the landing pattern of aircraft into the airport. Sightings occur around the same time in Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, and Paraguay. CUFOS suspects many of the observations might be due to a high-altitude barium cloud produced by a rocket launch.

Event 43128 (C7CB5D61)

Date: 7/1980
Location: SOUTH AFRICA, Johannesburg
Description: (Translated from French) Around 3am James Forber woke up with an intense thirst. To his dismay he was unable to get out of bed. He noticed a kind of blue mist forming in the room, then a center of blue light imploding without sound. Out of this light came a being, about 2.30m tall with blue and silver eyes - it was the face of the man seen at the window of the saucer 6 months ago. He was wearing a one-piece white garment with a golden insignia: a triangle with a 7-branched star. The apparition said: “Kodois, Kodois, Adonai Tsabyote.” and introduced himself as Karné. He came from the planet Aenstria (note from Vog: cf. Professor Hernandez in Mexico) James Forber then learned - what he had forgotten - that as a child he had taken a ride in a saucer with this entity. Today Karné had come to remind him that he had a mission to accomplish. Forber informed his friend Henry de Greef and two nights later, the entity appeared as before around 2:30am, but in the presence of the two young men, who were in their pajamas. It was in this attire that they accompanied Karné to the saucer where they were introduced to the female commander, Meyae. (…) The origin, the archetype of all men is Adam Kadmon. They are told about Andromeda, etc… They are told about the good and the bad and the Van Allen belt. In 1981 the two young men will create the NUFORIC group and get close to another contactee, Elisabeth Klarer.

Event 43130 (4589CA08)

Date: 7/1980
Locations: Pecos, New Mexico; Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque; Sandia Laboratories; Manzano Nuclear Weapons Storage Facility
Description: AFOSI special agent Sgt. Richard Doty writes an anonymous letter to APRO claiming that a Civil Air Patrol cadet named Craig R. Weitzel had seen and photographed a UFO landing near Pecos, New Mexico. Weitzel takes photos and is debriefed at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque. An alien, a man in a dark suit from Sandia Laboratories, and crashed UFOs stored at the Manzano Nuclear Weapons Storage Facility are also mentioned. But the letter is disinformational bait to see whether the Lorenzens might prove to be “useful idiots.” Weitzel admits to investigator William Moore and, later, Benton Jamison in 1985 that he had seen a UFO in 1980, but it was a classic daylight disc and took place in the southeast, not New Mexico. Much later on, Doty admits to Moore that he had composed the letter as disinformation.

Event 43131 (B1326811)

Date: 7/1980
Description: AFOSI counterintelligence officer Richard C. Doty delivers a forged anonymous letter to U.S. civilian UAP investigative organization APRO. The fake letter claims a Civil Air Patrol cadet Craig R. Weitzel photographed a UAP landing near Pecos, NM. The letter claims Weitzel was soon visited by a man from the Department of Energy contractor, Sandia Laboratories, who told Weitzel the UAP was from Los Alamos National Laboratories and Weitzel shouldn’t have seen it.

The letter also claims crashed UAP are stored at the Manzano Nuclear Weapons Storage, and that Sandia examined it. Doty later stated the letter was disinformation to see if APRO would be “useful idiots” and admitted AFOSI was targeting U.S. citizens with psychological operations.

Event 43132 (B6FCDD92)

Date: 7/1980
Description: Sunn Classic Pictures releases the film Hangar 18 about a cover-up following a crashed UAP in Arizona; the craft in the story is taken to the fictional “Wolf AFB” in Texas where it is analyzed. The occupants are described as near-human and match a similar story told to Linda Moulton Howe by AFOSI counterintelligence agent Richard Doty at Kirtland AFB three years later.

Sunn Classic Pictures was established in 1971 by the Schick Razor Company, of which Patrick J Frawley was a co-founder with significant creative input.

Frawley was a knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM), a Roman Catholic order with ties to the CIA and former CIA directors who served as knights including William Casey and John McCone. Frawley was also connected to the American Security Council as a member and donor, a military lobbying organization with membership of James Angleton, Nathan Twining and Douglas MacArthur, among others. Of note, Col. Philip Corso, who claimed UAP programs quietly encouraged film production for disclosure purposes, was a Shickshinny Knight of Malta, a breakaway group from SMOM.

Sunn also produced In Search of Noah’s Ark in 1976 at a time when the CIA was investigating Mt. Ararat as a location of the Ark (and mention Ararat in the film), The Amazing World of Psychic Phenomena about psi and TK during the predecessor programs of Project Star Gate and The Outer Space Connection, a film about the ancient alien hypothesis.

Description: (Translated from French) The most incredible case of contact with extraterrestrials is alleged by V.P.D. He says that the visitors put some kind of ring around his head, connected to a board with wires. The entities spoke to him and told him he would forget everything about the encounter. This was indeed the case. However, memories returned to him in bits and pieces during a period of great stress. He remembered a map, seen beyond the control board in the spaceship, which he drew and on which he saw 9 stars arranged in a horseshoe shape. This led investigators to assume that it was the constellation of Vela. (July 28, 1980)

Description: At 4:50 in the afternoon Edith Sage was walking down an alley on her way to some nearby shops in Medway, Kent, England when she saw a ring of smoke and sparks coming from a spot nearby, and an unusual craft suddenly materialized. It resembled a small helicopter without any rotor blades, doors or engines. There was a large transparent dome at the front of the object, and it had green and tan camouflage markings on the side. She could see two men seated inside, who were of normal height and wore gray jumpsuits. They looked very much alike except one had long blond hair and the other had dark hair, and both had olive skinned complexions. All sounds area suddenly ceased and there was also a sweet odor in the vicinity. The men apparently communicated with her via mental telepathy, but we don’t know the content of their communication. The craft then suddenly disappeared in plain sight.

Date: 8/8/1980
End date: 8/9/1980
Locations: Manzano Weapons Storage Area; Kirtland AFB; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Coyote Canyon
Description: Before 12:00 midnight. Three security policemen on the eastern side of the Manzano Weapons Storage Area adjacent to Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico, see a bright light descend in a restricted area about 3 miles to the north-northeast. It travels quickly and stops suddenly over Coyote Canyon. At 12:20 a.m., a Sandia guard observes a disc-shaped object with a bright light hovering behind a building. He approaches it with a shotgun and attempts to use his radio, but it has stopped working. The object shoots straight up. These and other incidents result in a report being filed with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations at Kirtland. The incident is subsequently investigated by agent Richard Doty , who files a preliminary report on the incident. The document is leaked to William Moore in January 1982 and obtained in a subsequent FOIA request by Barry Greenwood. Moore and Bruce Maccabee both interview Doty, who says there are most likely other documents including a longer report that he had written up. However, after Noah Lawrence at AFOSI Headquarters tells Maccabee there are no other documents on file, Doty begins to backtrack. Maccabee also meets Russ Curtis inside the Manzano area who says that the incident never took place (which contradicts Curtis’s statement to Moore in 1982).

Description: During the previous evening, around 9:30 p.m., author Ellen Crystal was out in an isolated field near Pine Bush, New York by herself when she noticed a large lighted object descend among some nearby trees. The object turned its lights off as it landed. She decided not to approach. However, after midnight she decided to investigate, drove near the site, and with a flashlight caught sight of a four-foot tall thin humanoid with a large head and huge yellow cat-like eyes. It was wearing a tight fitting, beige jumpsuit. The being stood there briefly and stared at the witness, who panicked and quickly drove away.

Event 43199 (ECE2AD83)

Date: 8/16/1980
Location: Australia, near Melbourne
Description: (Translated from French) (Source: personal testimony of Frank Scott, dated 07 Jul 92 23:44:00) "Twelve years ago I was in the military in Australia, I was a signal officer. That’s where I “believe” I had a close encounter as well as other officers with two small creatures. (…) It had happened like this: on August 16 at 2 pm, there was a round-looking “vessel” in diathermic interference on SHF frequencies. Suddenly there was a great commotion and we (six of us) had to go in a jeep towards the area of the visual appearance. The thing was 170 meters long, 50 to 60 meters wide and cylindrical in shape. An intense light beam was coming down from the cylinder to the ground and it emitted a buzzing sound that seemed to vibrate the air. As we got closer we noticed there was a small humanoid in the light beam. There didn’t seem to be any craft that had brought the humanoid to the ground: it was there, alone. We looked at each other in the jeep, we were all armed and considering we were in a defensive position, the order was to arm and be ready to shoot. However, we couldn’t do it: the pieces of our weapons seemed welded together. Then suddenly there was a terrible noise, “like a white noise” and… I woke up in the infirmary. This whole affair is quite disturbing to me, because I can’t figure out what happened. I would like to meet people who have experienced similar situations during their service in Melbourne.

Event 43201 (14ED746B)

Date: 8/16/1980
Description: Frank Scott and another soldier were ordered to go by jeep, to a location outside of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia where a UFO had recently been seen. They arrived there at around two o’clock in the afternoon, and observed a long cylindrical craft hovering close to the ground. The object was at least 170 meters long, and broad as well, and it emitted a buzzing sound that made the air vibrate. The craft was also emitting a beam of light towards the ground, and within the beam they could see a small humanoid being descending to the ground. The humanoid descended to the ground alone. Both men remained in the jeep, armed with their side arms, and watching the spectacle. Their weapons suddenly became disabled, as if welded together. Then there was a terrible noise, and Scott lost consciousness. He awoke much later in his base infirmary, not knowing how he had gotten there.

Description: 1:15 a.m. Security guard Phil Battle is driving his truck in the parking lot of the Teledyne-Ohio Steel plant in Lima, Ohio, and sees an unusual bright light in the sky. He steps out and watches a round, silvery form about 270 feet away. It has little holes on the surface, a flashing yellow light, and white floodlights all around it. It hovers for about 5 minutes, moving back and forth. Battle’s CB radio does not work when he tries to alert others. Suddenly a yellow light shoots out at Battle, knocking him back against his truck, scarring his knee and hurting his back and kidneys. The beam also reddens his left eye. The UFO then takes off. He and other guard look for the object and see a light about 1,200 feet to the north, slightly larger than the moon, which drifts westward after 15– 20 seconds.

Event 43211 (73880D7F)

Date: 8/20/1980
Locations: Mossy Head, Florida; Jacksonville
Description: 10:30 p.m. A college student is driving on a rural road about 5 minutes east of Mossy Head, Florida, when he becomes aware of an array of lights hovering above a hill ahead of him. They move low over the area from right to left, 300–600 feet ahead of him. It disappears, but another cluster of lights rushes by him on his left side with a quiet whoosh sound. Inadvertently he begins driving more slowly, slumped over the steering wheel. He continues driving to Jacksonville, where he notices his bare feet are red and inflamed. The redness fades away by the evening of the following night, leaving only some apparent bites marks that are sore to the touch.

Event 43212 (FBCA1600)

Date: 8/21/1980
Location: USA, East Texas
Description: (Translated from French) The young woman is visiting her parents with her 18-month-old daughter. The baby is suffering from an ear infection and a skin rash. As her condition worsens, the mother decides at midnight to go home and drives the 100 km on deserted roads. Halfway there the car radio malfunctions and the headlights dim. The driver then has the impression of taking off. She sees the tops of the pines agitated as if by a strong wind at the level of her gaze, and just above her a disk surrounded by a double row of lights. The car is sucked into the flying object and ends up in a brightly lit room. She hears a voice ordering her to get out of the vehicle. Small humanoids with big heads then operate various samples on her body. She will have the impression of having stayed on board for several days. She regains consciousness in her car parked near her home, where she immediately returns carrying the little girl in her arms. She staggers, suffers from nausea and a violent headache. At 5 o’clock in the morning she remembers the essentials of her experience. The next day the baby is completely healed. The mother will lose 7 kilos in the following days, discovers a long scar on her leg and on her back a mark in the shape of a H. (Bertrand MEHEUST: "In Flying Saucers - Imago 1992, p. 36, 37) (Jan Aldrich 10/97; Richard Hall, MUFON Journal 192, p14, originally 167-3) As for Meagan Elliott, captured on August 21, 1980 with her eighteen-month-old daughter (and the car they were in!) in East Texas, not only did she notice that the atmosphere of the craft was cold, but that a kind of smoke or fog was rolling at the level of the floor. Her abductors claimed to come from the same planet as her.

Event 43219 (C2E304FD)

Date: 8/22/1980
Description: In eastern Texas a UFO abduction occurred when a car was levitated inside of a hovering circular craft. Meagan Elliott was driving at 12:40 a.m. with her young daughter Renee in the early morning hours, on a desolate road near Lake Fork Reservoir, Wood County, Texas when her car radio became garbled and she heard a loud electrical noise, then her car headlights dimmed. The vehicle was suddenly lifted off the road, and they found themselves in a bright circular room, still inside the car, which sat on the flat metallic bottom of the hovering craft. A voice in her head told her to get out of the car, but she refused to move. Next, a small putty colored humanoid being with a large bard heald, his feet encased in mist, appeared and forced open the car door. He then forced Meagan and Renee to follow him. He was described as having huge oval eyes, no body hair, a broad flat nose, and a small slit for a mouth. Both of them were then clamped down on metallic tables, and their bodies were probed by two humanoids using different types of tools and a scanning device. Before being returned to the car and lowered to the ground, they said they were fed various colored pills. Under hypnosis, Meagan recalled extensive communication with the beings. They made the disturbing statement that the Earth “was a fearful planet with a tendency for annihilation.” She also recalled being shown seven characters, which represented the name of the place they came from, it sounded like “Asterisk”, but she said she could not pronounce it correctly.

His passenger, a school official, calls his attention to a shiny object ahead of them. For the first 5–6 seconds, the object grows larger in angular size. Then it stops getting larger, as if it has adopted the Cessna’s speed and direction. They close in on the object and watch it shoot right by the airplane’s left wingtip only 30 feet away. It looks like a metallic football no larger than 3 feet in size. It is silent and the surface has a mirror finish. It exhibits no wobble as it passes through the plane’s turbulence. List descends to 6,000 feet and turns to the south to look for it but cannot find the object.

Event 43244 (16329796)

Date: 9/6/1980
Location: CHINA, Jiangsu Province.
Description: (Translated from French) It was in the night, around 11 pm, on September 6, 1980, while we were doing night military exercises in the countryside near our barracks. Suddenly, a fighter on the ground noticed that a shining flying object was hovering in our direction. At his cries, we all looked up and saw a round object like a crepe, glowing, slowly flying in the air. Big as a plate, it shone, all red, and was followed by a bright tail of one meter. A red and round thing with a luminous trail on the blue background of the sky, what a magnificent sight! This trail changed color continuously (…) the object was at 200 meters altitude and its speed was approximately the same as that of an airliner. Two minutes later, the object suddenly accelerated its speed, shone much brighter than at the beginning and its trail became dazzling. It disappeared in a blink of an eye, mysteriously.

Event 43251 (CF0BAE80)

Date: 9/8/1980
Locations: Albuquerque, New Mexico; Kirtland Air Force Base; Los Alamos
Description: After doing a radio show in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Bill Moore is contacted by phone from someone at Kirtland Air Force Base. He meets the man he calls “Falcon” (described as elderly and gaunt) later at a restaurant, beginning a long-running relationship between Moore and 10 members of a shadowy group connected with military intelligence and supposedly opposed to the coverup of UFOs. The story soon emerges that the Roswell incident involved alien bodies and that in 1949 another alien, this one still alive, was found and housed at Los Alamos until its death in the early 1950s. It is called an Extraterrestrial Biological Entity (EBE) and is the first of three that the government would have in its custody. Moore decides to cooperate with these AFOSI sources and provide them with information. They tell him there is considerable interest in Paul Bennewitz and that he is to spy on Bennewitz and APRO as well, inundating them with disinformation that Doty and others will supply.

Event 43283 (571FC33B)

Date: 9/25/1980
Description: Elias Seixas de Mattos and two of his friends were returning to Rio de Janeiro in a truck. At 10:28 p.m., when they had reached a point on the road near Conceicao de Araguaia, Goias State, Brazil the driver felt a sensation like a cold liquid on his body, and heard a voice in his head telling him to go to a certain spot. The other two men saw a flash of light hit the hood of the truck. All three of them then saw a luminous object on the ground about a mile away. Sr. Seixas got out of the vehicle and attempted to film the object, while the other two men panicked and ran from the truck. A short while later Elias, feeling drowsy, talked one of the other men into driving the truck. They next experienced the vehicle behaving in a strange manner, perhaps because it was being levitated, followed by a period of missing time. Later under hypnosis, Elias recalled floating into a fiery red, cigar-shaped object with flashing white lights. Inside, he entered an egg-shaped chamber attached to a large white circular room with tables and machinery. A seven foot tall being, described as wearing a tight fitting, yellow coverall outfit that covered his entire body and head except for his face, operated the machinery. The being had large, slanted, lilac colored eyes, a long nose, a large lipless mouth, long arms and hands, and very pale skin. He wore a belt with a circular buckle that had colored lights. An invisible barrier apparently prevented the witness from approaching the being. Seixas was submitted to several medical examinations on top of an exam bed-like apparatus. At one point the aliens connected some type of equipment to his head and chest. In addition, blood and sperm samples were taken from him. He remembered seeing two human like beings, one black, the other white, who resembled identical twins; they wore tight-fitting gray uniforms. The beings told Seixas that their point of origin was within the star cluster of Ursa Minor, and that they had bases on the planet Mars.

Event 43290 (BA249C61)

Date: 9/30/1980
Location: Australia, near Rosedale (Victoria)
Description: (Translated from French) A farm boy, on night watch with the herd, saw a saucer-shaped UFO flying above the paddock. It had no wings or tail, but was adorned with orange and blue lights. It measured about 5 m in diameter. The object hovered above the water tank before landing in the paddock. The worker went there on a moped and as he got closer he heard a whistling sound while the air became icy, forcing him to stop. He remained about 15 m away from the object, which flew off with a shrill noise, sending him a gust of hot air. In the morning the landing area was clearly marked and the water tank was depleted of about 10,000 gallons (45,000 liters). (Janet and Colin BORD: “Modern Mysteries of the World” - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 311) (Source: Australian Post: August 5, 1989, Melbourne; Denise Dalgliesh) George Blackwell, 48 at the time, (…) I looked out the window to see what it was and I thought an airplane in distress was going to crash in the paddock. I jumped into my clothes and went out. It was a moonlit night and I clearly saw the craft. That’s when I realized it had no wings. It was topped with a dome and was about 3.5 m high and 8.5 m long and had blue and orange lights. It was barely flying 2 meters above the ground over the paddock and descended even lower to the water tank, hovering there for a while before landing. I wondered what was going on and if it was a new way of stealing cattle. I took the moped and went to see it, right close. As I opened the paddock gate I got a terrible electric shock. I couldn’t move, just stand there and look at the thing. It was bell-shaped with a small dome on top. I didn’t see any door, any rivets, any screws, just lit portholes. (…) For months the cattle refused to enter that paddock.

Getting up, he goes outside and sees a 24-by-15-foot sphere passing by, some 6–9 feet off the ground and 450 feet distant. It stops above a water tank, then settles to the ground. Blackwell rides a motorcycle to the spot and stops 45 feet from the landed object. It is making a loud whistling sound. After 3 minutes, the UFO emits a louder noise, gives off a blast of air, and moves off to the east. A 30-foot doughnut-shaped ring is found where the object rested, and Blackwell experiences health problems the next week. The 10,000-gallon water tank is mysteriously drained of water.

Description: (Translated from French) Anton Rinheiro, accompanied by his wife and another person, was driving in a desert region about thirty kilometers from Toluca. Suddenly the engine of the vehicle stopped for no apparent reason. A streak of bluish light flashed through the air about 50 meters from the car. The three occupants saw an object of conical shape resting on the ground on four feet. “Things” of conical shape too, provided with some kind of shiny tentacles, came out of it. They were busy for about twenty minutes in front of the amazed eyes of the witnesses who saw them gather stones and vegetation. After that, these “things” re-entered the device which left as it had come.

Event 43318 (8215888A)

Date: 10/15/1980
Location: Knox County, Indiana
Description: 11:30 p.m. A Knox County, Indiana, deputy sheriff stops by the side of a road to stretch his legs. Out of the east comes a black triangular form, as big as a house and 10 times the angular size of the full moon. He estimates it is 250 feet away and 200 feet up at its closest. Five figures are visible from the waist up through a long window on one side of the triangle. Large slanted unblinking eyes, white skin, and a straight-line mouth are visible on their elongated heads. He thinks they look afraid, so he tries to telepathically assure them not to be afraid. They respond by asking him, “Why do you hate the Iranians?” The object draws closer the speeds away to the northeast. During the sighting, his police radio displays intermittent interference and his patrol car’s engine and headlights pulsate. The deputy feels light-headed and sluggish, and his eyes water.

Event 43319 (EEE0DC20)

Date: 10/15/1980
End date: 10/20/1980
Location: Paris, France
Description: According to analyst Gary Sick , meetings are allegedly held in Paris, France, between emissaries of the Reagan/Bush campaign, with future CIA Director William J. Casey as a key participant, and “high-level Iranian and Israeli representatives” to make a secret deal with Iran to delay the release of the American hostages until after the election. In return for this, the United States purportedly arranges for Israel to ship weapons to Iran. Sick is never able to prove his claims, but the evidence suggests that the Reagan administration ships arms to Iran, both through Israel and directly, from 1981 to 1987 as payment for Iranian cooperation.

Event 43331 (A1202B17)

Date: 10/23/1980
Location: USA, Clifton (Arizona)
Description: (Translated from French) An object as big as a football field, perceived as a triangle-shaped cord of light, stopped, moved, stopped again above a sports field where the young people were rehearsing in the evening. 110 members of the orchestra and 30 to 40 parents were witnesses. The thing disappeared when the rehearsal ended. Shortly before that, five workers from a copper foundry 1.6 km west of the school had seen it: with twelve red lights and a large headlight at the front. The object hovered at one point above a 180 m high exhaust chimney and seemed to direct its headlight inside. It moved away, shot south, stopped abruptly, turned around and came back hovering above the foundry and above a large open-pit mine.

Event 43336 (51D0BF02)

Date: 10/23/1980
Locations: Morenci, Arizona; Phelps-Dodge Corporation’s copper smelting site; Greenlee County
Description: 8:55 p.m. Randall Rogers and Larry Mortensen, employed at the Phelps-Dodge Corporation’s copper smelting site at Morenci, Arizona, go outside to pick up three other employees for an evening meal break. They notice a boomerang-shaped object approaching the north smokestack at 1,500–2,000 feet altitude and a very slow speed. It stops and hovers briefly, then comes down to 700–1,000 feet, just above the stack. A brilliant light erupts from the forward angle and shines directly down into the interior of the stack. 10 seconds later it goes out and the object moves south to hover above the south stack and shine the bright light inside. It then moves off at 5–10 mph to the south, then suddenly takes off at great speed to the southwest. A very short time later, it returns and hovers above the slag dump. The object is seen as dull black and perhaps 1,320 feet from wingtip to wingtip. Eight reddish lights are on each wing about 75 feet apart and connected by a white tube of light. Greenlee County Sheriff Ralph Gomez also observes the object, as do about 100 members of the Morenci High School band.

Description: Paul Bennewitz over a number of months has become convinced that he has uncovered evidence of aliens controlling humans through electromagnetic devices, and furthermore claims that UFOs are regularly flying near Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque and the nearby Manzano Nuclear Weapons Storage Facility and Coyote Canyon Test Area. He is also convinced there is an alien base beneath Archuleta Peak northwest of Dulce, New Mexico. After failing to convince APRO (who considers him deluded), Bennewitz contacts AFOSI special agent Sgt. Richard Doty at Kirtland Air Force Base, who meets with him at his home today along with Jerry Miller, Kirtland’s scientific advisor for the Air Force Test and Evaluation Center.

Event 43343 (19949631)

Date: 10/26/1980
Locations: Bloomfield, Indiana; farm 2 miles southeast of Bloomfield, Indiana
Description: 7:00 p.m. An oddly shaped UFO is observed by a husband and wife on their farm 2 miles southeast of Bloomfield, Indiana. The object looks like two full moons spaced about 12 feet apart with a flashing red light in back like a lopsided triangle. Each white light is about 3 feet in diameter, and the white is intense but nothing around lights up. The object is at treetop level and passes to the right of a security light. There is no reflection of metal anywhere. The woman gets the impression that the lights are connected to something huge, saying: “The object passed about 20 feet above the barn making no sound and lights making no light. When it was over the barn roof, the sows with baby pigs in the barn jumped up and began wild grunting and knocking about in their pens. They settled down immediately after the object cleared the roof. The object is now coming very slowly towards the front of our house and yard. My husband had gone back into the house to watch from the front windows, my children are crying, and I am on the back porch having the time of my life.” The UFO disappears behind the roof line of the house.

Date: 10/26/1980
Description: A “huge” lopsided triangular object was seen by a farmer and his wife in a close encounter on their farm in Green County, Indiana. Moreover, their farm animals were affected while the UFO was over their barn. The UFO passed only twenty feet over the barn and disturbed their pigs. The object looked “like facets of a diamond.” It moved smoothly from a hovering position, and had two steady white lights with a flashing light in the back. When it moved further away it looked like a bright orange light in the southwestern sky.

Event 43361 (9EA83793)

Date: 11/1/1980
Description: A deputy sheriff on routine patrol in Lucky Point, Indiana had stopped to rest at 9:00 p.m., and was standing next to his police patrol car when he noticed a large, black, triangular-shaped craft hovering at an angle about 200 feet away. The craft had large rectangular windows on its side, and five humanoids could be seen standing inside from the waist up. The beings were “Greys”, having gray-colored skin with large heads, slim necks and slim bodies. No other features could be seen. As the police officer stood watching in amazement he received a telepathic message. The message asked him, “Why do you hate the Iranians?” He thought to himself that he did not hate anybody. At that moment one of the figures turned and faced the others, and as this happened the object suddenly shot straight up and disappeared at high speed.

They see a group of people looking at the sky where a Piper Cub seems to be on a collision course with a cigar-shaped object. The plane is moving north to south while the UFO flies silently from high in the east to the west. The object is rotating or spiraling about once every second. It takes nearly 10 minutes for the object to reach nearly overhead, dropping in altitude all the while. It remains stationary in the zenith about 5 minutes then moves to the south at a higher altitude.

Description: 8:45 p.m. A private pilot named Dennis is flying a Piper PA-32R-301T Turbo Saratoga SP at 8,000 feet near Lake Berryessa, California. He spots an orange, bullet-shaped light that is keeping even with him at 212 mph. The light brightens and begins to pulse with an increasing frequency, then shoots forward and makes a perfect right-angle turn upward. Five minutes later, it reappears behind him and performs a similar maneuver. The sighting is corroborated by a commercial airliner.

Event 43381 (85B38A49)

Date: 11/11/1980
Location: Spain - in flight
Description: (Translated from French) Harassment of seven commercial airplanes by a bright green UFO. The story took place over a large area stretching from a point in the Ebro Delta to another point in the sea near Gerona. The Iberia flight 350 from Barcelona to Athens spotted a UFO about 100 km east of Barcelona. The taxi plane registered as FBXAK had contact with it 200 km east-northeast of Barcelona. The Transeuropa plane from Palma de Mallorca to Bordeaux saw it about 100 km south of Reus from Barcelona. In all three cases, the UFO (or UFOs) were over the sea. The Iberia flight 810 from Barcelona to Asturias was 170 km west of Barcelona when it had contact, and an English plane from OM was 140 km west of Barcelona. At the same time, a UFO was seen from the Barcelona control tower near one of the runways, doing low passes, then rising and disappearing at a dizzying speed. These incidents, which forced the pilot of the Barcelona-Asturias line to make a 400-foot dive to avoid a collision, took place from 7 pm. (…) They were greenish balls moving at a very high speed. In some cases, the green balls transformed into five smaller objects, passing from the tail to the nose of the plane, where they seemed to “explode”.

Event 43389 (EB6BBF1C)

Date: 11/11/1980
Locations: Barcelona; Maella; Palma de Mallorca; northeastern Spain
Description: 6:40 p.m. Seven commercial aircraft—four Iberia Boeing 727s, a British airliner, an air-taxi, and a Transeuropa aircraft—encounter an unusual green object over Barcelona, Maella, Palma de Mallorca, and other points in northeastern Spain. Spanish journalist Juan J. Benítez investigates and determines that either 7 identical UFOs are involved or a single object is responsible, one capable of traveling hundreds of miles within minutes. Comandante Ramos, one of the Iberia pilots, says that the object is “like an enormous soap bubble” that is coming straight for his aircraft. He puts it into an evasive dive. When it passes close to the plane, they see a second smaller ball.

The flying object spewed out fog in all directions. It stayed suspended in the air for a few seconds, then, while emitting a dense vapor, it rose up again to remain motionless in the air for a certain time before rising again while ejecting vapor and so on until its definitive disappearance. Believing it to be something hostile, the commander ordered his men to pursue the strange object. The motorcyclists traveled about ten kilometers, and as the mountain paths were very difficult, they had to abandon their pursuit… (1980, Late Autumn)

Event 43404 (E8BAEB86)

Date: 11/17/1980
Locations: Bolling AFB in Washington, D.C.; Kirtland; Kirtland AFB
Description: Sgt. Richard Doty tells Bennewitz that AFOSI has decided against any further investigation of his claims. The same day, Doty forges a communication (later called the “Aquarius document”) from AFOSI headquarters at Bolling AFB in Washington, D.C., to the Seventeenth District AFOSI office at Kirtland and gives it to Bill Moore . It mentions, briefly and cryptically, analyses of a UFO film apparently taken in October. It also mentions MJ-12 and a government UFO investigation “outside official intelligence channels” called the Aquarius Project. Bill Moore calls it a retyped version of a real AFOSI message with a few spurious additions. Doty tells Moore to pass it on to Bennewitz, which he does eventually. In 2005, Doty tells radio host Art Bell that AFOSI’s interest in Bennewitz has nothing to do with aliens; rather, it is to protect the technologies and activities at Kirtland AFB.

Event 43405 (E4309930)

Date: 11/17/1980
Description: AFOSI counterintelligence officer Richard C. Doty delivers a forged document to physicist and Coast Guard veteran Paul F. Bennewitz. Doty states he was ordered by his superiors to confuse Bennewitz, who had observed an NSA laser project at Kirtland AFB from his own property near the base. Doty convinced Bennewitz what he saw was of paranormal origin, UFOs, and Bennewitz developed delusional paranoia and was committed to a psychiatric hospital as a result of AFOSI’s actions. Sen. Peter Domenici met with AFOSI; existing documentation suggests AFOSI may have also misled Domenici because it did not inform him of the disinformation targeted at Bennewitz.

Note: Doty states he was ordered to create the disinformation. It is unconfirmed, but diaries written by former Blue Book contractor Jacques Vallée state Brigadier Gen. Peter J. Hennessy was the “top guy” above Doty. After Hennessy retired, he was a VP at Battelle.

Event 43406 (4A17601C)

Date: 11/18/1980
Location: USA, Trenton (Missouri)
Description: (Translated from French) Throughout the evening, hundreds of people saw a large triangular object moving slowly, coming and going multiple times over an area of 16 km wide for a period of 4 or 5 hours. It was observed visually and by radar. (Bob PRATT - USA) Among the hundreds of people, there were three police officers observing a bubble-shaped object crossing through the clouds for four hours. The object reversed in the sky. The object was huge, as some witnesses compared it to a football field, while another said that the B52 bomber would have been a Piper Cub compared to the object. This witness, Don Leslie, thought the object looked more like a large cigar, traveling high in the sky from east to west. When it passed overhead, a faint humming was perceptible. Just before disappearing, it ejected six other objects in the shape of fins, which each went their own way. Randy Hayes also saw the fall of the “satellites”. “They were round and shone with a blue light. The big object was so big that part of the stars was no longer visible”. Rick Hull took a photo and got a triangle made of lights on the shot, together forming a kind of boomerang. Buddy Hannaford and his wife observed it with binoculars and Karla (the wife) said that the object was delta or triangular shaped, with two white lights and a red bulb at the base. It passed over their house. The Federal Aviation radar in Kirksville detected the object passing through the area 4 or 5 times, at a speed of about 45 mph.

Event 43413 (D8A2ED2C)

Date: 11/18/1980
Location: US Supreme Court
Description: For the resolution of the CAUS v. NSA, the National Security Agency creates two affidavits to explain why UFO information is to be withheld from the public. The affidavits are written by the chief officer of policy for the NSA, Eugene F. Yeates. The first of the two is the “unclassified, softened-down” version released to CAUS and the public. The affidavit says that it is in the NSA’s direct interests not to have the documents published, as they can compromise national security because they contain sensitive intelligence regarding the interception of foreign communication; and no meaningful amount of information can be declassified without giving foreign intelligence information regarding US time and methods of information interception. The second affidavit is for Judge Gerhard A. Gesell only, classified “top secret,” which the judge can read with an “in camera” clearance. The judge sides with the NSA after reviewing the affidavit (released to CAUS through an FOIA request with 95% redactions, later released in 1997 with only 25% redacted, and in 2014 with a bit less missing). Gesell states that “the public interest in disclosure is far outweighed by the sensitive nature of the materials and the obvious effect on national security their release may well entail.” CAUS fashions an appeal to the US Supreme Court.

Event 43414 (9C457DEA)

Date: 11/18/1980
Locations: Northern Missouri; Northeastern Kansas; Edina, Missouri; Fairview, Kansas; Kirksville, Missouri; Trenton, Missouri; Edinburg, Missouri; Sublette, Missouri; Kirksville area; Olathe, Kansas; Altus AFB in Oklahoma; Grissom AFB in Peru, Indiana
Description: 7:30–11:00 p.m. Many people living in northern Missouri and northeastern Kansas, from Edina, Missouri, to Fairview, Kansas, report a formation of unusual lights traveling slowly and noiselessly. An airport and the police department in Kirksville, Missouri, receive 25 calls or so. The basic description is a triangular formation with two bright headlights. Rick Hull, a 20-year-old photographer from Trenton, Missouri, watches the lights pass overhead four different times; the underside shows a diamond-shaped array of white lights with a steady red beacon in the middle. There are also two bright headlights and an apparent dome with seven green lights around it. He manages to photograph the array only once out of several attempts. Most people provide an estimated altitude for the lights as 300–400 feet, but a Trenton witness puts it at 1,000–1,500 feet, and Missouri Highway Patrolman Bob Lober guesses 1,500–1,800 feet in Edinburg, Missouri. The lights change direction frequently. Radar technician Franklin West, located at a remote radar station of the Kansas City Air Route Traffic Control Center at Sublette, Missouri, finds a radar target in the same direction and distance as visual reports that local witnesses alert him to. It passes through the Kirksville area 4–5 times in a 2–3 hour period. He estimates its speed at 45 mph. A pilot landing at the Olathe, Kansas, Air Route Traffic Control Center says he recognizes the UFO as a refueling tanker with jets following it, which matches an established refueling track in the area. The Center for UFO Studies confirms that Altus AFB in Oklahoma, flew a huge C-5A cargo aircraft behind a KC-135 tanker from Grissom AFB in Peru, Indiana, that evening. The two planes flew in tandem at 20,000 feet at an indicated air speed of 250 knots beginning at 8:00 p.m. and ending around 11:00 p.m. However, there are a few discrepancies with the reports.

Gesell, which he can only read with an “in camera” clearance. Judge Gesell sides with the NSA after reviewing the classified affidavit. This affidavit is later declassified with 25% redactions in 2014.

Locations: Longmont, Colorado; Denver
Description: 11:45 p.m. A couple is driving home to Longmont, Colorado, from Denver when they hear a loud “whish” and a beam of blue light strikes their car. Their headlights begin to dim and the radio emits static before fading out. The back wheels of the car leave the pavement and the car rises at an angle into the air. They lose consciousness and wake up as the car is resuming its 50 mph journey down the road. More than one hour of time is missing. The next day, the woman finds a rectangular mark on her abdomen and soon has vivid dreams of a craft and an entity. She develops a nearly fatal case of pneumonia and finds out she is pregnant. The man discovers a melanoma on his legs, but it improves. Under hypnosis they recall seeing a hovering domed craft, a luminous entryway, and a humanoid with a large head, gray skin, thin fingers, and shiny golden garb.

Description: Doty receives a call from former astronaut Sen. Harrison Schmitt (R-N.Mex.) who asks him about AFOSI’s role in Bennewitz’s claims. Doty tells him they are not investigating. But Doty later admits what he tells Schmitt is not true. AFOSI has told him to make Bennewitz believe there is an impending alien invasion because Bennewitz is actually observing secret Air Force projects. According to Doty, the Air Force wants to discredit Bennewitz so no one will figure that out. However, Doty claims that in doing so, he created hoaxed documents that are given to Bennewitz and other UFO researchers, and that he broke into Bennewitz’s house and office.

Event 43442 (189080E7)

Date: 11/28/1980
Description: Police constable Alan Godfrey, age 31, was on routine patrol in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, England when at 5:05 a.m. he encountered a metallic disc with a dome on top and a row of five windows, blocking the road ahead. He fetl attracted to it, and alternately frightened and secure while he sat in his patrol car. When he attempted to alert headquarters to its presence he found that his radio would not work. He then sketched the craft. The domed metallic disc had the rowof windows, was luminous, and had additional lights on top and bottom. The central section was spinning; bushes beneath it were agitated. Abruptly, he found himself one hundred yards farther down the road than he had been, and the UFO was gone. He had a vague recollection of getting out of his car and looking for the object, and hearing a voice, and he had 15 minutes of missing time. When he returned to the car it would not start.

Later, under hypnosis, Godfrey recalled that he lost consciousness after a beam of light from the object struck him. Then he felt himself floating into the craft and meeting a human-like being named Joseph. The UFO occupant was six feet tall, and friendly in demeanor; Joseph had a thin nose, a beard, and mustache. He wore a skullcap and was clad in a robe, making him look something like a Biblical prophet. A large black dog accompanied him. The room also contained eight metallic robots, each about three and a half feet tall, with headgear like lampshades, which were making a sort of murmuring chatter. Whenever they touched Godfrey, beeping sounds emanated from them. Joseph directed Godfrey to a bed. He thought about resisting, but instead lay down on the bed, where a beam of light from the ceiling shone down on him. Communicating by telepathy, Joseph touched his head, and Godfrey lapsed into unconsciousness for a while. The robots removed Godfrey’s shoes and studied his toes. Meanwhile, instruments were placed on his arms and legs , which caused him discomfort to the point of sickness. There was a sickly odor that permeated his nostrils, and he closed his eyes from time to time. Joseph asked him questions, but Godfrey would refuse to tell investigators what they were. The alien told Godfrey that they had met before, apparently when Godfrey was a child. After the incident, he had a split in the sole of his boot, and a bruise on his foot. EM effects were the failure of two different radio systems (UHF and VHF). Three other cops saw a bright light moving toward Todmorden at the time of Godfrey’s abduction experience.

Event 43444 (FB0A782C)

Date: 11/29/1980
Locations: Todmorden, West Yorkshire, England; Burnley Road
Description: 5:00 a.m. While checking reports of cattle wandering around a local council estate in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, England, Police Constable Alan Godfrey allegedly sees a bright light ahead on Burnley Road that appears to be a hovering, rotating object. He sees twigs and leaves swirling around beneath it. He experiences missing time of approximately 25 minutes, during which he splits a boot and acquires an itchy, red mark on his foot. Via hypnotic regression, he recalls being medically examined by alien creatures. In May, Godfrey had investigated the death of Zigmund Adamski , who had been missing for five days before his body was found on top of a coal pile. According to the coroner, Adamski died of a heart attack. Godfrey tells reporters at the time that he believes it possible that Adamski was abducted by aliens and placed on the coal pile “by someone or something.” Godfrey self-publishes Who or What Were They? in 2017, a book that includes his speculations regarding the Adamski case, abduction claims by Travis Walton, and his own UFO sighting.

Event 43445 (0740D930)

Date: 11/29/1980
Locations: Duncan, British Columbia; Mount Prevost
Description: Mechanic Granger Taylor, 32, of Duncan, British Columbia, a man obsessed with aliens and UFOs to the point of building his own full-size model in his backyard, announces to his friends and parents that he is going to board an alien spacecraft and take a 42-month interstellar voyage. He is never seen again. In 1986, truck fragments and bones are found at a blast site on Mount Prevost. Though DNA testing is not in common use at the time, pathology work by the coroner attributes the adult human bones to Taylor. Fragments of clothing found amid the decayed material are from a shirt owned by Taylor, as confirmed by his mother. Representatives from the auto division of the RCMP confirm the truck is his. A report by the B.C. Coroners office officially declares Taylor dead. A CBC-TV documentary about Taylor, Spaceman, is released in 2019 but fails to come up with a likely explanation.

Event 43450 (1A29D107)

Date: 12/1980
Location: Moscow
Description: Army Lt. Col. John B. Alexander discusses in Military Review how psychotronic weapons could be developed by studying the paranormal. He discusses the remote-viewing studies of Russell Targ and Harold E. Puthoff and their potential military applications. As for psychotronic weapons, he sees much potential, saying, “with development, these weapons would be able to induce illness or death at little or no risk to the operator. Range may be a present problem, but this will probably be overcome if it has not been already.” As an example, he cites work by the Soviets, who have “examined the effects of electromagnetic radiation on humans and have applied those techniques against the US Embassy in Moscow.”

Description: 10:00 p.m. Two teenagers parked next to a swimming pool in a subdivision of Normal, Illinois, see a stationary bright white light about half the size of the full moon in the western sky. Suddenly it splits into two smaller halves that rejoin, growing small and fuzzy, then brighten and enlarge. Three small lights shoot out and snap back in again. They watch the display for about one hour. During the last 15 minutes, their ears begin to hurt simultaneously. The pain shifts from their right ears to their temples, and they both feel a pea-shaped lump under their skin. They return home. The next day the lumps are gone but they have headaches. On December 8 at 8:45 p.m., the boy returns to the same spot alone and sees another light for about one minute. When he calls his girlfriend again to tell her, both regain the painful lumps in their temples.

Date: 12/14/1980
Location: CHINA, Beijing
Description: (Translated from French) At 5:35 in the afternoon, Fu Lingsong, Yu Lian, Qiu Jianhua and I were walking… (…) We suddenly saw a white flying object rise above the crest of the hill. The object looked like a cone, the lower part was larger than the upper part. As it rose, its dome became clearer and clearer. It was round, surrounded by a bluish halo, but the cone was still silver. It stayed in our field of vision for 30 seconds and then disappeared. Then the cone reappeared thirty seconds later. It was bigger than a fist, it went up and down, up and down zigzagging in the sky, this lasted three or four minutes, and then it suddenly disappeared forever.

Location: CHINA, Beijing
Description: (Translated from French) In the afternoon we were taking pictures in the garden of Yuanmingyuan. Suddenly we saw in the sky a red-yellow cloud with a shining nucleus which was barely bigger than a fist. This cloud was slowly heading north. After a while, the shining nucleus shot up a beam of red light, while advancing and descending (from time to time the shining nucleus shot up and down two beams of red lights). Then this shining point flew towards the northwest until it disappeared. We looked at our watches which marked respectively 5:33, 5:34 and 5:36.

Description: (Translated from French) (Dong Hongbiao) Wang Yancheng and I saw a UFO on December 14, 1980 at 5:32 pm. (…) …Around 5:35 pm, my brother and I were fishing at the edge of a reservoir of the Shijingshan steel mill. It was relatively clear then, there were no stars yet. My brother suddenly saw an object the size of a fist heading towards us. (…) I looked up and saw to the north an object shining above the mountain. As bright as a locomotive’s headlight, this white-violet object was in the shape of a sphere. (…) Shortly after, this UFO took a vertical position and started to emit white steam from its base, but we didn’t hear any noise. In two or three seconds it rose to more than 3000 meters, becoming as small as a nut. It stayed there motionless for three minutes. Then it started to move towards the north, horizontally, 5 km away, it descended vertically and disappeared behind the mountain to the west.

Event 43483 (A20DACE7)

Date: 12/14/1980
Description: “Larry W.” writes Leonard Stringfield and claims that while at Arizona State University in 1975, a classmate of his “Mr. DR,” told him he witnessed a UAP “capture or retrieval” in 1968 while in the Army attending intelligence school in a remote desert area of Texas, approximately 50 miles from Big Spring, TX.

One mile from the Army compound was a small 16 acre USAF “facility” too small to be considered a full fledged base; it was restricted, well guarded and patrolled; Larry claims it had a large
metal building and warehouse, 1-2 small guard houses and a nearby concrete helicopter landing pad, with no airstrip or runway, surrounded by an 8 foot chain link fence topped with barbed wire.

He claimed he and other classmates observed unusual activity at the USAF site, which was only entered or existed by blue, officially marked USAF vehicles; large flat-bed trucks entered the warehouse but none to his knowledge ever left; he stated he believed a large underground workshop was set up beneath the warehouse; within months, he received written orders not to observe, talk about or go near the USAF facility; 5-6 of his classmates decided to find out what was going on and tried to enter the facility wearing USAF fatigues, they were not heard from for a month and all but one returned to the school with apparent psychological effects.

Two to three months later after this breach, all Army personnel were restricted to their quarters and windows were blacked out; a small group went to a crawl space in the attic above their bunks and removed some of the roof’s shingles to look out, seeing an “intense twinkling light descending in rapid, jerking movements,” that was changing colors, diminish in intensity and take a shape, before dropping to the ground; “it was in no way a conventional craft,” it was relayed to him; the object was disc shaped with a small bulge on top, the air shimmered around the craft as if it were hot, and no occupants were seen; USAF personnel surrounded the object when it landed; the next morning the area was clear.

DR states in 1971 he was warned by a Col. not to mention anything about UAP and Big Springs
Base.

Description: 3:00 p.m. About 40 witnesses at the Orpington Hospital redevelopment site in London, England, watch a UFO that alternately hovers, moves slowly, shoots across the sky, and finally divides into three and disappears straight up at 4:15 p.m. The object is an elongated triangular shape with a reddish-orange nose, silvery body, and diamond-blue rear section, with its nose pointing southeast. Peter McSherry, clerk of works for Lovell (Southern) Ltd estimates its height at 50,000 feet. A video of the object is taken in the presence of other witnesses at Seal Chart near Sevenoaks, Kent, and although it shows only a point of light in a cloudless sky, it does corroborate the sighting.

Description: A Las Vegas pilot for Omni Airlines and his teenage passenger escaped uninjured after a midair collision with an unidentified object that ripped off part of the right wing and sent their plane into an uncontrollable spin at 5000ft. The pilot nursed his crippled Cessna 172 back to North Las Vegas Airport. The object striked with such force that it almost ripped off the wing. He stated he thought it was a missile. The object appeared as “just a streak” as it fell past the nose of the plane. Nellis Air Force Base spokesman said there were no Nellis-based aircraft or missiles anywhere in the area at the time of the accident. The spokesman added that AF jets enroute to the test range rarely approached the area. A call was immediately placed to Palmdale’s regional facility for radar emergency response.

Event 43499 (DC931938)

Date: Winter 1980
Location: Great Britain, Hull
Description: (Translated from French) In the early morning hours, Mrs. A. woke up: flashing lights illuminated the window. She thought it was a helicopter, but the lights did not move. So she thought the helicopter was on fire, got up and went to the window. She was shocked by what she saw and went to wake up her 15-year-old son Billy. About 50 meters away there was an orange-red, triangular-shaped object “on its side” above the grassy area of the park behind their house, about 25 to 30 meters from the ground. The entire object was glowing and incandescent like coal in a stove. The object pulsed, becoming smaller and more orange, then larger and redder, with black spots appearing on the red glow. When they opened the window they saw it better, a series of portholes ran along the length of the object, and a strong yellow light was coming out of it. They could see inside the object, it was yellow and apparently empty. At first stationary, it began to move away slowly at about 20 km/h. On the back there were two panels that were so bright it looked like a furnace; The object went towards the buildings on the other side of the park, it was at 2/3 of their height and there it stopped, slowly turning on its axis and moving to the right to go around the buildings. Behind these buildings was a 125 meter high factory chimney. The object was heading towards the chimney, changing course without jerks. The object was observed until it was out of sight, for 10 to 15 minutes. (1980-1981, Winter)

Event 43507 (48C6D45F)

Date: 12/26/1980
Locations: Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England; RAF Woodbridge [now MOD Woodbridge]; Orfordness Lighthouse
Description: 3:00 a.m. A series of reported sightings of unexplained lights near Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England, have become linked with claims of UFO landings. The events occur just outside RAF Woodbridge [now MOD Woodbridge], used at the time by the United States Air Force. USAF personnel, including deputy base commander Lieutenant Colonel Charles I. Halt, claim to experience a UFO event. A security patrol (A1C John Burroughs and S/Sgt Budd Steffens) near the East Gate of RAF Woodbridge sees lights apparently descending into nearby Rendlesham Forest. These lights are attributed by astronomers to a piece of natural debris seen burning up as a fireball over southern England at the time. The observers initially think it is a downed aircraft but, when others (S/Sgt James Penniston, Burroughs, and A1C Edward Cabansag) enter the forest to investigate they see, according to Halt’s memo, a glowing object, metallic in appearance, with colored lights. As they attempt to approach the object, it appears to move through the trees, and “the animals on a nearby farm went into a frenzy.” Penniston later claims he and Burroughs encountered a “craft of unknown origin” while in the forest, which he photographs and touches, although there is no publicized mention of this at the time and no corroboration from other witnesses. (Burroughs only reports a blinding white light.) Shortly after 4:00 a.m., local police are called to the scene, but they report that the only lights they can see are those from the Orfordness Lighthouse, a few miles away on the coast. After daybreak, Burroughs and Penniston return to a small clearing near the eastern edge of the forest and find three small impressions on the ground in a triangular pattern, as well as burn marks and broken branches on nearby trees. At 10:30 a.m., the Suffolk Constabulary are called out again, this time to see the impressions, which they think could have been made by an animal. Georgina Bruni , in her book You Can’t Tell the People (2000), publishes a photo of the supposed landing site taken on the morning after the first sighting.

Event 43509 (E0743939)

Date: 12/27/1980
Location: GREAT BRITAIN, Woodbridge (Suffolk)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 3:00am, two USAF security police on patrol saw an unusual light at the back exit of RAF Woodbridge. They were given permission to go and investigate, as they believed it to be a plane crash. Three men were sent on foot. They reported seeing a luminous object, of metallic appearance and triangular shape, 2/3 of a mile from the base, and 2m in altitude. The object was illuminating the entire forest with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing red light at its top and one or more blue bands of light on the underside. The object hovered in a stationary position, or stood on legs. As the patrol approached, the object maneuvered between the trees and disappeared. Meanwhile, the animals at the nearby farm were in a “frenzy”. The object was briefly seen again an hour later, again near the back exit of the camp. The next day, three depressions 1 1/2" deep and 7" in diameter were found at the spot where the object was seen. The next day (December 29, 1980) the area was scanned for radiation. Beta/Gamma readings of around 0.1 milliroentgens were recorded, with a maximum in the three depressions and at the center of them. A nearby tree showed a moderate reading (.05-.07) on the side facing the depressions.

Event 43510 (BB35A7FB)

Date: 12/27/1980
Location: GREAT BRITAIN, Rendlesham (Suffolk)
Description: (Translated from French) (Source: Did the Americans drop a satellite on Suffolk? Rendlesham Forest, 27/28 December 1980) During the night of 27th to 28th December, more than 50 people, both civilians and military, make their comments after the observation of a UFO. This ranges from an extraterrestrial vessel, to the dropping of hard drugs, to secret military experiments. But I propose the facts: Big Bird 16, a USAF low altitude spy satellite, is launched from Vandenberg base in California on June 18th, 1980 and is placed in a very wide polar orbit. This satellite carries six capsules, to be recovered. The 67th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron (ARRS), based in Woodbridge, is one of the units designated to collect the capsules when they enter the atmosphere. The satellite flies over the Arctic at 27,000 km/h, and north of Norway, in the night of 27/28 December 1980 and drops one of its capsules. While the mother satellite continues to orbit, the capsule enters the atmosphere above the North Sea, heading SSW. Some Lockheed HC-130 Hercules planes and a group of HH-53C helicopters from the 67th ARRS wait above the Dogger Bank, the planes at altitude, the helicopters near the water. But the parachutes of the capsule do not open. The capsule continues to descend without being braked, on its initial trajectory, flying too high and too fast for the planes that await it. This trajectory of the capsule leads it directly to the RAF base at Woodbridge. As soon as the alert was given about the failing parachutes, the capsule is seen on fire above Lowestoft, and the crash takes place in the woods of Rendlesham. The whole base participates in the search. (…) (1980, December 27-28)

Event 43522 (7B134AE6)

Date: 12/27/1980
Description: Bentwaters AFB, England - A famous close encounter landing with radar confirmation, and a possible encounter with humanoids occurred in the early morning hours between Bentwaters and Woodbridge RAF/USAF Bases. The case involved many military personnel, including the base commander, Colonel Halt. A nocturnal light had been sighted repeatedly over several nights prior to this encounter. On the night in question a 12 foot wide cone-shaped object was encountered near the ground outside the west gate of the Bentwaters base. According to several of the military witnesses, the UFO shone light beams into the nuclear weapons storage area, them landed or hovered quite close to the ground in the forest outside the base. A USAF security patrol outside the back gate of RAF Woodbridge likely had the closest encounter. The UFO they saw hovered at treetop level, and was described as being round with a red light on top and several blue lights underneath. It was surrounded by a yellow mist. It landed in a field, illuminating the ground, then shot up. Larry Warren, one of the military enlisted men present, claims that UFO occupants were seen on this occasion. At the same time, in nearby Martlesham in Suffolk county, a nocturnal light followed a car and then shot up into the air, causing a herd of cows to stampede.

Event 43523 (B09D93F2)

Date: 12/28/1980
Locations: RAF Woodbridge; Orfordness Lighthouse
Description: 1:48 a.m. RAF Woodbridge Deputy Base Commander Charles Halt visits the alleged December 26 landing site with 20–30 servicemen (including John Burroughs , Sgt. Adrian Bustinza , Sgt. Bobby Ball, and Sgt. Monroe Nevels). They take radiation readings in the triangle of depressions and in the surrounding area using an AN/PDR-27, a standard US military radiation survey meter. Although they record 70–100 microR/hr at the landing site, in other regions they detect only 30–40 microR/hr, around the background level. Furthermore, they detect a similar small “burst” over half a mile away from the landing site. Halt records the events on a microcassette recorder, the “Halt tape,” released to UFO researchers in 1984 by Col. Sam Morgan, who has succeeded Ted Conrad as Halt’s superior. The tape chronicles Halt’s investigation in the forest in real time. During this investigation, a flashing light is seen across the field to the east, almost in line with a farmhouse, as the witnesses had seen on the first night. The Orfordness Lighthouse is visible further to the east in the same line of sight. Later, three star-like lights are seen in the sky, two to the north and one to the south, about 10° above the horizon. The brightest of these hovers for 2–3 hours and seems to beam down a stream of light from time to time. Astronomers have explained these as merely bright stars. In June 2010, retired Col. Charles Halt signs a notarized affidavit, in which he again summarizes what happened, then states he believes the event to be extraterrestrial and covered up by both the UK and US military. Contradictions between this affidavit and the facts as recorded at the time in Halt’s memo (dated January 13, 1981) and tape recording (made December 28) have been pointed out. In 2010, base commander Col. Ted Conrad provides a statement about the incident to UFO researcher David Clarke . Conrad states that “We saw nothing that resembled Lieutenant Colonel Halt’s descriptions either in the sky or on the ground” and that “We had people in position to validate Halt’s narrative, but none of them could.” In an interview, Conrad criticizes Halt for the claims in his affidavit, saying “he should be ashamed and embarrassed by his allegation that his country and Britain both conspired to deceive their citizens over this issue. He knows better.” Conrad also disputes the testimony of Sgt. James Penniston , who claims to have touched an alien spacecraft; he had interviewed Penniston at the time and he had not mentioned any such occurrence. Conrad also suggests that the entire incident was a hoax.

Event 43524 (474C4C3A)

Date: 12/28/1980
End date: 12/29/1980
Locations: RAF Woodbridge; Capel Green; Orfordness Lighthouse
Description: Around 12:00 midnight. USAF A1C Larry Warren claims he is on patrol at RAF Woodbridge with other servicemen who are bringing lighting equipment to a large clearing called Capel Green. At 12:30 a.m., he is directed into the woods to “investigate a disturbance.” They soon come to a large field where about 40 military personnel are gathered. They are ordered to surround what appears to be a bright fog or mist. When his group enters the field, Warren sees it is a glowing, yellow-green, circular object not more than 12 inches in height. Two officers walk around it with Geiger counters, someone takes photos, and another operates a movie camera. He hears shouts of “Here it comes!” and sees a small red light that quickly approaches his group at 1:30 a.m. The basketball-sized object makes a downward arc and hovers at 20 feet above the ground. It then explodes in a blinding flash that gives off no heat. Instantly, about 25 away, Warren claims he sees a large, pyramid-shaped object topped by a glowing red light. Covering the entire surface are what look like boxes and pipes. An officer orders Bustinza and Warren (now feeling nauseous) to approach within 10–15 feet of the object. Before long they are ordered further back. A staff car arrives, carrying Col. Gordon Williams and his staff. From far behind the object comes a bright bluish ball of light. Warren claims he can see large-headed beings inside. He sees Col. Williams approach the beings and stare at them. Warren arrives back at Security Control at 4:30 a.m. Most ufologists find Warren’s account unreliable, and the book he coauthored, Left at East Gate, is withdrawn by the publisher, Cosimo, in 2017 after finding “inaccurate or embellished” testimony. In 2010, Jenny Randles, who first reported the Rendlesham case in the London Evening Standard in 1981 and coauthored with local researchers the first book on the case in 1984, Sky Crash: A Cosmic Conspiracy, emphasizes her previously expressed doubts that the incident was caused by extraterrestrial visitors. While suggesting that an unidentified phenomenon might have caused parts of the case, she notes: “Whilst some puzzles remain, we can probably say that no unearthly craft were seen in Rendlesham Forest. We can also argue with confidence that the main focus of the events was a series of misperceptions of everyday things encountered in less than everyday circumstances.” The most plausible skeptical explanation is that the sightings are due to a combination of several factors. The initial sighting on December 26, when the airmen saw something apparently descending into the forest, coincides with the appearance of a bright fireball over southern England; such fireballs are a common source of UFO reports. The supposed landing marks are identified by police and foresters as rabbit diggings. According to the witness statements from December 26, the flashing light seen from the forest lay in the same direction as the Orfordness Lighthouse. When the eyewitnesses attempted to approach the light, they realized it was further off than they thought. Timings on Halt’s tape recording indicate that the light he saw, which lay in the same direction as the light seen two nights earlier, flashed every five seconds, which was the flash rate of the Orfordness Lighthouse. The star-like objects that Halt reported hovering low to the north and south are thought by some skeptics to have been misinterpretations of bright stars distorted by atmospheric and optical effects. No evidence has emerged to confirm that anything came down in the forest. However, Nick Redfern in The Rendlesham Forest UFO Conspiracy alleges that the events were created by US and UK military as part of a series of top-secret experiments involving ball lightning and the “use of sophisticated holograms and hallucinogens” to test the reactions of the personnel exposed to them.

Event 43528 (2D579C7A)

Date: 12/29/1980
Location: USA, Huffman, between Caney and Dayton (Texas)
Description: (Translated from French) Case: “Cash-Landrum”. Two middle-aged women and one of their grandson were driving back to Dayton on a deserted secondary road at 7 pm. In front of them they saw a bright red object that suddenly started to descend and hovered in front of them: an enormous diamond-shaped object standing on its point and so bright they could barely look at it. They stopped and looked. Periodically the object would spit out flames that came towards the road; it would then lift up and travel a short distance. All three of them got out of the car but the grandson was so scared that the grandmother took him and locked themselves in the vehicle. The driver stayed outside for a short while and eventually got back in the car. After a quarter of an hour, the object which had been quite loud, also emitting a continuous “beep-beep”, rose above the pine trees, turned on its side and slowly glided south. As it moved away it was surrounded by more than 20 military helicopters identified by the women as CH-47 Chinook. On their way back, all three of them had nausea, severe headaches, diarrhea, skin rashes, stomach ache and intense thirst. The driver had to be hospitalized, her face was swollen and covered in blisters and she stayed in the clinic for a month. Since then all three of them have become highly sensitive to heat, the women lost a lot of their hair, which grew back in 6 months. However, military authorities deny the presence of helicopters in the area that night. (Bob PRATT - USA) Bette Cash, Vicky Landrum and her grandson notice a bright light in the distance while in the car, then see in front of them a vertical diamond, extremely bright, hovering over the road. Helicopters apparently escort the object. A beep-beep is heard, and the temperature rises sharply. The witnesses subsequently suffer from various symptoms, possibly due to exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing rays. Secret craft?

Event 43536 (35DF5D33)

Date: 12/29/1980
Locations: Piney Woods of East Texas near Huffman; Houston; Bergstrom Air Force Base [now Austin-Bergstrom International Airport]
Description: 9:00 p.m. While driving through the Piney Woods of East Texas near Huffman, about 40 miles northeast of Houston, Betty J. Cash and her two passengers notice a bright light ahead. As they draw within about 130 feet, they are confronted by a fiery diamond-shaped object, emitting flames down toward the road. What happens after that is mind-boggling. Betty Cash and Vickie and Colby Landrum suffer apparent radiation illness after watching a flame-spewing UFO and mystery helicopters. Eventually, Cash and Landrum contact their US Senators, Lloyd Bentsen and John Tower , who suggest that the witnesses file a complaint with the Judge Advocate Claims office at Bergstrom Air Force Base [now Austin-Bergstrom International Airport]. In August 1981, Cash, Landrum, and Colby are interviewed at length by personnel at Bergstrom and told that they should hire a lawyer and seek financial compensation for their injuries. With attorney Peter Gersten taking on the case pro bono, the case winds its way through the US courts for several years. Cash and Landrum sue the federal government for $20 million. On August 21, 1986, US District Court Judge Ross N. Sterling dismisses their case, noting that the plaintiffs have not proved that the helicopters are associated with the government and that military officials have testified that US armed forces do not have a large, diamond-shaped aircraft in their possession. Although there is no doubt that the incident occurred, it is now considered by many to be a non-UFO case. In December 2018, Brian Dunning investigates the case and reports his findings on the Skeptoid podcast. He finds that the notes taken by Cash’s cardiologist, Vasudev B. Shenoy , attribute her hair loss to the autoimmune disease alopecia areata, that her other symptoms could be caused by illnesses that started before the incident, and that Landrum’s only documented illness is developing a cataract in one eye. He suspects that “Cash and Landrum wrongly, but honestly, placed the blame for their health problems onto whatever they saw; and even pushed the truth a bit trying to get the Air Force to pay for it.”

Event 43537 (4177F809)

Date: 12/29/1980
Description: Shortly after 9 p.m. Betty Cash, age 52, was driving through a pine forest on a rural road near her home in Dayton, Texas with her friend Vickie Landrum, age 57, and Landrum’s grandson, six-year-old Colby. They watched as a brilliant diamond-shaped object descended over the road directly in front of them, spitting flames from its underside. Betty Cash slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a halt about 150 feet away from the UFO. They immediately felt an intense heat inside the car and heard a loud roaring sound. They got out of the car and stared at the blinding light and a metallic structure as big as the 200 foot-tall water tower in Dayton. It was shaped like a diamond with a blunt top. The UFO seemed to be struggling to climb above the treetops, and it was emitting blasts of fire and a continuous roar that reminded the women of a shrill welding torch, only much louder. After ten minutes the object rose above the trees, tilted onto one side, and began moving off slowly toward the south. They then saw up to 23 large, Chinook style helicopters show up in the sky, apparently in pursuit of the object.

(Continued.) On the drive home Betty and Colby said they suffered headaches and later nausea, and over the next several days experienced bouts of vomiting, diarrhea, and skin burns. Betty Cash also lost most of her hair, and on January 2, 1981 was admitted to Houston’s Parkway General Hospital as a burn patient. She spent four of the next five weeks in the hospital.

Cash and Landrum contacted the state police and nearby military bases, but no one could or would provide them with an explanation. Cash was advised to contact John F. Schuessler, a NASA contractor and employee of McDonnell Douglas Aircraft, who was a project manager for the Space Shuttle Flight Operation, and is now the Director for MUFON. Schuessler and NASA physicist Alan Holt interviewed the witnesses, who took them to the encounter site. Where the UFO came down over the highway the yellow line had swiggled from the melting heat. “A roughly 20-foot circle of the road surface appeared to have melted and then resolidified,” said Schuessler. Trees in the vicinity were blackened twenty feet above the ground on the side facing the road.

Schuessler also found five other witnesses who had observed the same or a similar UFO the same night. Another eight witnesses, including a Dayton police officer, claimed to have seen the swarm of helicopters but not the UFO. For the next several years Schuessler tried without success to identify the helicopters and where they came from, but there were unconfirmed rumors that the helicopters came from a Texas Air National Guard base.

Health problems continued to plague Betty Cash, Vicky Landrum and Colby. Cash moved to Birmingham, Alabama where, as Dr. Bryan McClelland said in an interview, "The illness that she suffered after her exposure was an absolute classic radiation injury in which she lost skin and hair, then had diarrhea and vomiting. She could not have made it up. Vicky Landrum has subsequently died.

Event 43538 (4B707CF8)

Date: 12/31/1980
Description: Near Sacramento, California the main witness, John, was driving on California Highway 5 heading toward Sacramento. Shortly after 10:00 p.m. he spotted a large, dark object coming toward him and moving slowly, left to right. The object passed him, but when he looked behind him it was no longer in sight. “I have to see what this is,” he thought to himself and he intended to pull over at the same time that he started to feel groggy and his truck’s engine began sputtering. He experienced a period of missing time, and the next thing he remembered was that he felt he had just awakened from sleep, although he was driving with both hands on the steering wheel. It struck him as odd that all the holiday traffic was gone and no other vehicles were on the roadway. Thinking only a few minutes had passed, he called his girlfriend to tell her about his unusual experience, and was surprised that she was angry with him because he had been out of touch for nearly three hours. It was already 1:00 a.m. on New Years Day.

(Continued.) In 1992 John underwent hypnotic regression, and was able to remember some of what had happened to him during his missing time episode. He remembered being led somewhere by hand, and having no control. Whoever was leading him seemed to have all the control. John became very agitated as they wanted him to look at something and he didn’t want to. Becoming even more agitated and crying, he remembered that the aliens were showing him tanks and he didn’t want to be there. John could not bear to look at what was being shown to him, and it took two more hypnotic regression sessions to get through his block and remember what he had been looking at. John described a small baby floating in some type of hearvier-than-water fluid. Tearfully, he described one of “them” saying this particular baby was his and that he had to show it some love. John recalled, “They are saying, I am here for a reason, there are a number of them telling me it’s my child, to love it, to feel love for that baby. I need to connect; they tell me it will help the baby feel part of something. I can’t believe this is happening!” After showing John “his baby”, the beings escorted him to another romm he described as “clean, sterile and bright, with a long table in the middle.” John began crying again and said, “I’m telling them I don’t want to do this again.” He recalled the aliens telling him that they were just going to take a sample. He became more agitated and repeated twice, “It’s not right what they are doing…it’s not right!”

They do not investigate, but in the morning they find three sets of footprint-like traces outside. They look like elongated scratch marks about 12 inches long, are uniform in shape, and go all the way to the fence line and through it. The couple begins to see a “perfectly round white circle of light,” about 1.5 inches in diameter, moving slowly around in their bedroom each night. The light is seen for about a month, no matter how the blinds and curtains are arranged. Sometimes it would stop moving for hours.

Event 43545 (EF6FA462)

Date: 1981
Description: Lawyer Andrew Basiago claims he served in a DARPA Project Pegasus in the 1970s which utilized time travel technologies to view different segments of human history. Basiago claims beginning in 1981-1983, he and William B. Stillings worked in a building at 999 N. Sepulveda Boulevard in El Segundo, CA operated by Hughes Aircraft. Basiago claims there is a “jump room” at this location that allowed for full teleportation of humans to a network of different jump rooms.

https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/marte/esp_marte_78.htm

Note: Basiago reiterates these claims in public media and in a signed affidavit alleging Project Pegasus gave the DOD foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks. Basiago claims knowledge of the “Montauk chair” (see 1971) and suggests programs utilize “time viewing” technology for intelligence purposes and a secret space program utilizes teleportation technology far advanced beyond those in the open source.

https://www.scribd.com/doc/294419690/Affidavit-of-Andrew-D-Basiago

Note: In the open source, quantum teleportation was first proposed in 1993 and achieved in 1997. Most recently, researchers have teleported information between atoms dozens of kilometers apart and have transferred information between clouds of gas atoms. A recent study at University of California also suggested human brains were ready for teleportation due to a unique natural behavior of the hippocampus. Still, Basiago’s claims are astounding and suggest teleportation technology in the black is hundreds of years ahead of open source, if true, though they may very well be false claims.

Event 43546 (302F9CA8)

Date: 1/1981
Location: USA, Morenci (Arizona)
Description: (Translated from French) The workers of the copper foundry repair team in Morenci say that a massive UFO appeared above the two 220-meter-high chimneys and seemed to want to examine the inside of one of them by projecting a powerful beam of light. The 4 men of the team, busy repairing the other chimney, say that the UFO had the shape of a boomerang and was as big as four football fields. On its visible surface there were 12 small red lights and a huge white searchlight in the center. “It seemed to stop halfway up, above the chimney, and projected its light inside,” said worker Randell Rogers, 20. His colleague, Larry Mortenson, added: “I’ve never seen an airplane hover like that. I had the feeling that it was not aggressive. Finally, it did nothing to scare us, although it did nothing friendly either.” A third man on the team, Kent Davin, said that when the projector was examining the inside of the chimney, one of the small red lights detached itself from the boomerang at an incredible speed, but returned after a few moments. Without warning, the UFO then turned and shot off into the sky like a rocket. This UFO was also seen by a hundred members of a musical support club with animation, who were doing a practical exercise outdoors on the local football field, a mile from the foundry. “I saw all these lights in the shape of a V in the sky,” said director Bruce Smith, and there was not the slightest sound. It hovered for a few minutes, then disappeared high into the sky.

Event 43557 (2DE72182)

Date: 1/8/1981
Location: FRANCE, Trans en Provence
Description: (Translated from French) At around 5 pm, Renato Nicolaï, who was working in his garden, saw an object that was round, about 2.50m in diameter and 1.70m in height, slightly curved and lead-colored. At its base there were 4 portholes. The craft was hovering 50 cm above the ground, motionless. After a minute, the witness approached and the object flew away vertically, very quickly, without making any noise or raising any dust. On the ground there was a circular trace 2.40m in diameter and 4 cm deep. On June 17, 1983, GEPAN, which works under the aegis of the National Center for Space Studies, published Report No. 16, bringing together the examinations of 5 laboratories and concluding “that a major event occurred in this place.” A line of fracture in the ground may have been due to the combined action of strong mechanical pressure linked to a heating estimated at 600 degrees, dried vegetation without any trace of carbonization, inexplicable chlorophyll mutations of wild clover plants taken from the site, with very significant alterations of their different pigments… which could have been caused by an electromagnetic phenomenon.

(Jean-Francis CROLARD: “L’énigme des E.T.” - éd. Guy Trédaniel 1995, p. 70, 71) Attracted by a whistling sound, Renato Nicolaï saw a disc-shaped object 2.50m in diameter land a few tens of meters away from him. He noted few details, and already the UFO was taking off and moving away at great speed. A circular, striated trace marked the landing site. Samples were taken. Wild clover had undergone biochemical disturbances, perhaps due to the action of microwaves.

Event 43564 (971EA34E)

Date: 1/8/1981
Location: Trans-en-Provence, Var, France
Description: 5:00 p.m. A well-documented case of physical effects from a UFO takes place in Trans-en-Provence, Var, France. Renato Nicolaï, a gardener, hears a strange whistling sound while doing agricultural work on his property. He then sees an object in the shape of two saucers, one inverted on top of the other, about 8 feet in diameter land about 150 feet away at a lower elevation. It has a thick band around the middle section, two circles that look like trapdoors, and two feet that extend about 8 inches below the body of the machine. The object takes off almost immediately, rising above the tree line and departing to the northeast. The case quickly comes to the attention of the police and is soon investigated by GEPAN, the French government’s scientific team of UFO investigators. The physical traces include evidence of vegetation and soil heating, skid marks, and circular ground marks. The chemical analysis reveals that the soil has been heated to 300°–600° C. Jean-Jacques Velasco thinks that the object could have weighed between 4 and 5 tons. Trace amounts of phosphate and zinc are found in the sample material, and an analysis of wild alfalfa near the landing site shows chlorophyll levels 30%–50% lower than expected. The police report says that the trace, which appears on an active road, looks like one made by a car tire. This explanation is dismissed by GEPAN because of Nicolaï saying otherwise.

Date: 1/8/1981
Description: Perhaps the best documented and most thoroughly investigated case of physical effects from a UFO occurred on this day in Trans-en-Provence, France. At five p.m. Mr. Nicolai, a gardener, saw a metallic disc-shaped object making a whistling sound land hard in a garden. It was estimated to be eight feet by six feet in size, and had four openings on the underside. It also had a thick band around the middle section of the object. The case quickly came to the attention of the police and was soon investigated by GEPAN, the French government’s scientific team of UFO investigators. The physical traces included evidence of vegetation and soil heating, skid marks, and circular ground marks. The chemical analysis revealed that the soil had been heated to temperatures not in excess of 600 degrees Celsius.

This object had a diameter of 5 to 6 m, its upper part was conical and its lower part flat. It did not move and stayed 80 cm away from the roof. Its center emitted dark red lights. It had a yellow halo. (…) the luminous object slowly faded from the outside to the inside until its complete disappearance. My observation lasted a total of two minutes.

Event 43598 (7CE2B906)

Date: 2/1981
Description: (Translated from French) Chico Gama, a farm worker, is on a small beach on the Atlantic coast, not far from Fortaleza. Having come with his fishing net in the hope of improving his daily fare, he was taking advantage of the moonlight. Suddenly, a beam of red light falling from the sky hits him and makes him shiver. Looking up, he discovers that it comes from a round and violet object floating in the air. Terrified, Chico Gama runs to hide in the nearest thicket. The object follows him, touching him intermittently with its red beam. This game of cat and mouse lasts 3 hours. Unable to escape the red beam and the buzzing emitted by his pursuer, Chico Gama spends a night of terror, convinced that, tired of playing, the object will eventually kill him with its beam. 5 AM: At dawn, the object suddenly stops its pursuit and evaporates into the sky, leaving the man exhausted and close to fainting. He nevertheless manages to get home and hides for hours under his bed before telling his family what happened to him. Two days later, he falls ill. The skin on his arms and back peels off like after a sunburn, he suffers from migraines and sweats continuously for a good month. Bop Pratt, who would meet Chico Gama in 1986, five years later, will tell of having seen a nervous and fearful man, who still sometimes hides under his bed. His daughters will tell him that he no longer goes out at night and that sometimes he is afraid to stay alone in broad daylight. (2 h)

Under hypnosis she recalled that a light shone on her and she suddenly found herself in a domed room with smooth white floors, walls and ceiling. The room contained a desk-like object with lights and an examination table. She undressed and two beings entered, held her by her arms and pressed her down on the table. A third being examined her abdomen. The beings were humanoid with light bulb shaped heads and with large unblinking eyes, small noses and ears, and slit-like mouths. They were thin with sloping shoulders, long hanging arms with 4 long fingers and had grayish skin. They wore metallic blue coverall uniforms with an insignia of a triangle inside a circle on the chest. Another being wore a reddish orange colored uniform. They conversed with the witness by using telepathy.

Event 43618 (5B3EB4D8)

Date: 2/13/1981
Description: The main witness had finished closing up his canteen in Fuentecen, Valladolid province, Spain at 2:30 a.m. He was walking back to his house when he observed several golden lights in a nearby field. He approached the lights but they suddenly rose up, circled, and landed again, this time closer to his home. The man went inside and woke his wife and son, and they all observed an object on the ground that intermittently gave off bright flashes of light. At this time his dogs began barking and acting strangely. His wife became frightened and went back to bed. Later, he heard footsteps and one of his dogs led him to a “figure” standing by the fence on his property. The being was a meter and a half tall, box-like in shape, and appeared metallic and almost robotic in nature. It did not seem to have a head, arms or feet. The dog approached the figure and began barking, and then both man and his son heard a strange barking “echo” that seem to come from the figure itself. The witness grabbed a flashlight and ran out, he then heard a loud “crackling” sound. The figure by now had disappeared. He next saw an object with rotating red lights rise from a nearby field and leave at high speed. A scorched area was found on the ground by government authorities.

Description: Jose Fermin Albornoz, an illiterate shephard, awoke at 4:00 a.m. to the sounds of his animals causing a commotion. Looking out from his hut he saw a “beautiful” blue light hovering over a field about 20 meters away. He woke up another shepherd, but his companion became extremely afraid, screamed out and hid under his blanket. He then heard a loud buzzing sound that appeared to originate from overhead. This was followed by something like the sound of a diesel truck, although the remote mountainous area of Manzano Amargo, Neuquen Province, Argentina that they were in was only accessible by horseback. Suddenly two short humanoid entities appeared out of nowhere, standing side by side. The beings spoke to him in an unknown, unintelligible language. Terrified, Jose now became confused and his next memory was of seeing a bright light quickly flying away. He described the humanoids as about one meter in height with extremely wide shoulders. They seemed to have normal hands and feet, but he could not make out any facial features. They wore helmets and tight fitting, dark blue outfits. During the incident some nearby horses stampeded away from the area, apparently terrified. Albornoz said the spherical light was bluish in color, and it did not illuminate the surroundings.

Event 43643 (D0419D9A)

Date: 3/1981
Location: Uruguay, Tacuarembo
Description: (Translated from French) The chief of police in Melo, Miguel Costa, was in a car with his wife and friends Armando and Maria Pena, on a gravel road near Tacuarembo, when a huge shape, with yellow and orange glows, emerged from the morning night in front of them. Costa stopped the car and, on an impulse, flashed the headlights. “Suddenly the UFO seemed to hesitate, then zigzagged up and down, as if responding to our calls,” he said. "As soon as I started, it followed us. Again I stopped the car and flashed the headlights. The UFO replied in the same way as the first time. We continued our journey and the UFO followed us for about half a mile. I stopped again. Finally the UFO accompanied us for about thirty miles. That’s when the strangest thing happened. We were all glued to the windows looking at the UFO, when suddenly it suddenly dropped as if it was going to crash to the ground. It stopped its descent at 75 or 150 m altitude. We then clearly saw its dome shape flat on the bottom. Around the dome there was like steam. The upper part was reddish, but the base was dazzling white. "Feeling somewhat threatened by the UFO’s new trajectory, Costa turned around and returned to Tacuarembo, the nearest town. The bright light of the UFO was constantly in view in the rearview mirror. At one point Costa stopped again and parked under the trees. They all got out and went to an open place. "A second UFO was traveling a short distance behind the first. They did not touch each other but seemed to be traveling together. They went up and down and finally went up above the clouds that they lit up.

Meanwhile, they are conversing via CB radio with Donald Atkins, who is in nearby Ridgefield, Washington, and watching a stationary light over the river. Atkins transmits a faint humming sound the object is making through his CB radio to officer Ricky Cade, who captures it on a cassette recorder. Yokum and Cade look to the south and see a bright orange-red light about 80–100 feet above the river, apparently the same one that Atkins is watching.

Event 43684 (6B450157)

Date: 4/8/1981
Location: San Luis Reservoir, California
Description: 3:00 a.m. A private pilot named Dennis is flying a Piper PA-28-181 Archer II near the San Luis Reservoir, California, when a bullet-shaped object pulls alongside the airplane. Simultaneously, Dennis’s distance-measuring equipment, navigation and communications radios, and transponder go out. The object shoots ahead of the plane by about 1,500 feet and executes some erratic motions. Then, slowly drifting back, it paces him. The object is glowing orange and has a whirling bluish ring around it. The object pulsates and shoots forward about 4–5 miles ahead of the plane, and makes an instantaneous right-angle turn upward, in somewhat of a repeat of his November 5, 1980, sighting.

E. Schenk, age 56, and his wife were driving south on Highway 58. At about 1:30 p.m. they saw the small disc, shaped like two saucers, one inverted on top of the other. The object was hovering just a few feet off the road about 40 feet away, with sunlight reflecting off its surface. Surprised by what he had seen, the former Navy pilot turned and drove back. He and his wife then saw the object at an estimated 2,000-4,000 feet altitude. It climbed rapidly through the sky, and disappeared in the distance, headed in the direction of Minneapolis. The weather was clear, and visibility unlimited. It was a bright, sunny day.

The object kept getting bigger and longer, it was heading from southwest to northeast. (…) This object had a length of 3.20m and a width of 0.15m. It seemed to me that a triangular thing was towing it. The whole thing was like a band of fire colored red, yellow, white and blue. Along this luminous band I also saw some small stars similar to the bulbs of flashlights. I didn’t hear any noise. The unknown craft followed a parabolic line and flew faster than a satellite. I saw it cross a cloud and then disappear into some black clouds. …

These five or eight flying objects left a luminous trail. The one in the lead shone brighter than the others. A large flying saucer was spitting out small saucers the size of a candy. The smallest luminous object looked like a lit cigarette. In my opinion, these objects were at 150 or 200 meters altitude, at an angular height of 40° above the horizon, and they were heading from southwest to northeast. They almost passed over me at an angular height of 75°. Suddenly they disappeared to my right (north). The lights had a transparent red color. (April 13, 1981)

At first sight there were seven or eight; they were bright balls flying in a single straight row, in the direction of the northeast. Among these balls, three larger and redder ones were moving relative to each other at fixed intervals; the smaller and whiter ones seemed to remain in formation. They all had a long red, white and yellow tail (it was actually a jet of flames) (…) Before disappearing, these flying objects reduced the length of the jet they were emitting, then the small balls began to go out and after a few minutes, everything disappeared and the sky returned to normal. I looked at my watch, it was 7:42.

Description: (Translated from French) At 00:20, two policemen in a car saw a strong reddish light coming down from the sky. The engine and electrical circuit of their vehicle stopped while the saucer, about 3 m in diameter and 1 m in height, landed on the street 50 meters in front of them. From a small door that opened in the saucer, they saw two human forms gesticulating and jumping to the ground. At the place of the eyes they had like balls of light, around the head and hands, like sparks. The head, compared to the rest of the body, was big. This took a few seconds or minutes, during which the beings seemed to converse with each other. Then the entities turned around, jumped into their craft, the door closed. A few seconds later the saucer made four rotations on itself, accelerating, while a very sharp noise was heard, the object catapulted and disappeared. Shocked by this experience, the agents restarted the engine, which ran, and they arrived at their destination, 100 km further, at 3:15 only! (1981, between April 15th and 20th)

Description: Merle Shane McDow is attached to the US Navy Atlantic Command Support Facility in Norfolk, Virginia, when a UFO is tracked moving at high speed on at least five radar scopes up and down the Atlantic coast. The UFO sets off a Condition Zebra alert in the Naval Command Center, and Adm. Harry D. Train II gives the order to force down the object and recover it. US jets chase the UFO for more than an hour as far north as Greenland, sometimes confirming it visually, but it evades them. During the event, KH-11 reconnaissance satellites take photos of the object. The object moves from Nova Scotia to Norfolk in one sweep of the radar. Eventually it moves off at tremendous speed.

Location: Danville, Pennsylvania
Description: 2 :00 p.m. As he is pulling up to his home in Danville, Pennsylvania, on a motorcycle, William F. Hummer notices “cobwebs” hanging over houses, telephone wires, and parked cars. Wispy material is falling from the sky. He sees something moving around in the sky and goes in to get binoculars. He and another man watch several flying discs as they dart overhead in groups of twos and threes. One pauses and he can see it is round and metallic with a dome and “kind of peak on it.” His sister joins them and says they can see big masses of material floating around for 30 minutes.

Event 43743 (8690EAD6)

Date: 5/5/1981
Locations: South Africa; Indian Ocean; Western Cape
Description: 6:00 p.m. Russian cosmonaut Vladimir Kovalyonok is orbiting in the Salyut 6 space station over South Africa and moving toward the Indian Ocean. After doing some gymnastic exercises, he notices through a porthole an elliptical object resembling a “melon” with two clouds like a “barbell,” moving in the same direction as the Salyut in a suborbital path. Then a “kind of explosion happened, very beautiful to watch, of golden light.” One or two seconds later, a second explosion follows, and two golden spheres appear. Soon the Salyut enters the Earth’s terminator and he cannot see them any longer. James Oberg speculates that the object could have been a South African test of an Israeli Jericho-class solid-fuel missile from the Denel Overberg Test Range near Arniston, Western Cape.

Event 43750 (49B99E54)

Date: 5/14/1981
Location: USSR, IN SPACE
Description: (Translated from French) (Note from Vog: I’m just transcribing, I’m not making up this story!) Salyut 6 is launched on March 12 with cosmonauts Vladimir Kovalyonok and Viktor Savinikh on board, for a mission in space that will last 75 days. Everything goes normally until May 14. Through the Salyut’s porthole, Kovalyonok notices a round-oval object. It is a spaceship that follows the Salyut at the same speed. Its diameter is about 8 meters, it has three rows of 8 portholes each, three of these portholes, at the bottom of the craft, are very large. Kovalyonok films this UFO. On May 15, the cosmonauts notice that the UFO is now only 100 meters away from the Salyut. They can see humanoid silhouettes behind the portholes. They wear some kind of transparent visor caps, they have well-marked eyebrows, have a large straight nose like the Greeks. What is striking is the size of their eyes which are twice the normal size of human eyes. The cosmonauts look through binoculars and transmit what they see to the ground control at Baikonour. They are asked to keep the situation under control. The next day, May 16, the object is only 30 meters away. Kovalyonok asks if they should go out to make contact. The answer from the ground is “Nyet”, a visual contact is enough. Kovalyonok then stands in front of the porthole and deploys a map of the solar system to the extraterrestrials. To his surprise, one of the extraterrestrials holds a map of the same kind in front of the UFO’s porthole. In Morse code and with his thumbs, Kovayonok greets them “the Russian cosmonauts greet the visitors”. He does it in Russian and English, without any result. So he repeats it with binary code 101101. There is a reaction. Soon after, the extraterrestrials come out of their craft and move in space. They are tall, measuring nearly 2 meters. They wear the same costume as they had inside the UFO. The cosmonauts film the demonstration. On May 17, the object leaves the Russians and moves away at a dizzying speed. (1981, May 14, 15, 16 and 17)

Event 43751 (6800494E)

Date: 5/14/1981
Location: in space, from onboard the Soyuz T-4 spacecraft, Space
Description: Cosmonauts Savinikh and Kovlenok observed a strange object from their space station. At first the object was 1/2 mile away but it eventually approached to a distance to 300 feet. Inside the cosmonauts saw three brown skin beings with slanted bright blue eyes straight noses and bushy eyebrows. (NICAP: 02 - Close Encounters) (NICAP: 07 - Entity Cases)

Event 43752 (540462B5)

Date: 5/14/1981
Location: Salyut 6 space station
Description: Cosmonauts Victor Savinykh and Vladimir Kovalyonok, aboard the Salyut 6 space station, supposedly observe a strange spherical object with 8 windows and well-lit inside. At first it is 1/2 mile away but it eventually approaches to 300 feet. Inside, the cosmonauts see three brown-skinned beings with slanted bright blue eyes, straight noses, and bushy eyebrows. At a distance of 100 feet, they resemble mechanical robots. Their facial expressions remain emotionless. They seem to be requesting closer contact with the Soviet craft. The object shifts around erratically and from time to time it vanishes, but then reappears in an instant. It seems to be metallic, but it has no doors, no solar batteries, no optical systems, no antennae, and no marks or writing of any kind. The cosmonauts also notice normal-looking armchairs, some devices, and walls inside the craft. Using a pair of powerful binoculars, the cosmonauts see the beings showing them what appears to be a star map. Allegedly the cosmonauts film the event and the film is later shown to party leaders by cosmonaut Georgy Beregovoy.

Description: (Translated from French) A man was fishing in the Thompson River. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon. A small boat had just passed when the witness heard a loud noise, like water boiling and overflowing from a pan. At 100 yards the water of the river began to boil, indeed. Slowly a disc-shaped object emerged from the river, rose up and flew away. A rain of “flakes” fell on the witness, probably produced by the UFO. He collected them to have them analyzed. Unfortunately we have no knowledge of the results.

(…) I directed my gaze to the north and then observed in the sky an object that was all white, milky, and seemed to be suspended. Its nucleus seemed particularly white to me. It had the shape of a cigar. A moment later the object began to move towards the east. I called the workers of our night shift (eight people in total, including myself) (…) The object flew over the Gobi Desert, and ten minutes later it landed on the sand, very far from us. We wanted to go by car to the landing site to examine it, but work prevented us. We stayed outside for a quarter of an hour until the complete disappearance of the object, which finally faded away on the horizon.

ged behind it a beam of light measuring more than 50 cm long. This tail of light had several colors: yellow, green, white, red. It was as if flames were spewed from the rocket. During these maneuvers, the ball kept spinning on itself, but without any noise. At 1000 or 2000 m altitude, the flying object headed from northwest to south passing over our barracks, before finally disappearing into a black cloud. The observation lasted a total of three minutes. Before, during and after this phenomenon, the radio went silent, and although the voltage did not vary, the fluorescent lamps flickered without really lighting up and the incandescent lamps became all pale. Five minutes after the UFO disappeared, everything returned to normal.

Event 43780 (7E9A823B)

Date: 6/11/1981
Location: CHINA, Xian (Shaansi)
Description: (Translated from French) (Yao Zhian) On June 11, 1981, at around 1:10am, I left the factory on my bicycle to go home. My family lives in the suburbs and I had to take a deserted road at that time. Right after passing the stadium, an orange-red object appeared above me. I looked up to see it. It was as big as a truck wheel, topped with a shiny dome, and the bottom was flat. At first I thought it was motionless in the sky. I pedaled quickly and soon arrived at the level of the Xiaozhai primary school, far from the city. When I made a 20° turn and entered a path, I noticed that this orange-red object was already in front of me, above two trees. It was higher than before and its outline had become clearer. I didn’t hear any noise. I was scared and accelerated my speed. When I looked up to see it again, it had mysteriously disappeared. Yet, when I arrived at the entrance of my village, to my great surprise, it was in front of me, on a roof. I then knew it was waiting for me there! I was terrified and could no longer stay on my bicycle. I got off and, pushing the bike, I timidly entered the village. At that moment the unknown object turned into an orange-red crepe, of a rather oval shape. It suddenly took off vertically and very quickly flew towards the north. Then it stopped moving again (…) and after two seconds it suddenly went out.

Event 43787 (0F741755)

Date: 6/12/1981
Description: Robert Gomez, a vacuum truck driver, was headed west on highway FR 665 toward Alice, Texas after finishing a job. His vehicle had about 165 gallons of water in the tank and no pressure. At 2:10 p.m. he saw a bright object in the sky that he first thought was an airplane. It increased in brightness and stopped in midair. The object was domed disc-shaped, brilliant white in color and with a dark ring around the rim and another dark ring around its center. Gomez felt the truck slowing down and tried to accelerate. The truck’s exhaust stacks were blowing smoke, but the truck had apparently been lifted a foot off the ground. Although his AM radio quit working, his CB radio was still working, so he reported what was happening to his dispatcher. Shortly later the UFO disappeared into the clouds. Smoke was discovered coming out of the water tank valve, which now showed 55 pounds of pressure on the gauge. He opened the valve to drain the remaining water, but only steam came out.

Event 43803 (D2944424)

Date: 6/22/1981
Description: In 1981 at 10:35 a.m. the fire lookout at the Satus Peak fire tower on the Yakima Indian Reservation in central Washington State saw a slow moving light descend in the sky, moving toward the northwest. The light entered a long, thin cloud, and never exited. At about the same time a large orange glow filled the windshield of a motorist and family in Forreston, South Australia pulsing on and off once a second. They drove under the source of the light and then it vanished.

Location: CHINA, Zibo (Shandong)
Description: (Translated from French) (Shi Wenglu)… A group of round-shaped UFOs was seen.… At 3:30 in the afternoon, I turned on my television, but there was a strong interference. I went out to the courtyard to check the antenna and that’s when I noticed three bright round objects arranged in a triangle, flying from northeast to southwest. A moment later I saw two other bright balls heading from north to south and finally heading west. I also noticed some other round objects that remained stationary in the sky. In total there were thirteen to fifteen UFOs, all as big as a bowl. They all disappeared suddenly at once. (…)(…)

Event 43805 (1AA56316)

Date: 6/28/1981
Description: Kennebunk, Maine - Carol Palmero was sitting in her backyard at about 2 p.m. when she saw a UFO pass overhead. The object was shaped somewhat like a football with rounded ends, made no noise and flew at a steady rate of speed from northeast to west. The following day (June 29), at about 9 p.m., Fire Chief Ramon Nolette was standing in front of the dispatch station when he saw a green and white light go 1,000 to 1,500 feet into the air. Twenty minutes later he saw another one. After Nolette called the Coast Guard he received calls from more than fifteen people asking what the lights over the water were. Other calls to the Coast Guard came from Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Wells, Ogunquit and Old Orchard Beach. A boat was sent out at 9:20 p.m. to look for the source, but the lights were not seen again.

He sees a well-lit, triangular object about 1,200 feet away and perhaps 1,000 feet above the ground. It is completely silent. After hovering, the object turns, moves, makes a sharp angular turn, and then another to draw a triangular path in the sky. Then it moves rapidly high, then low, back to its original location. A second triangle approaches, and they hover in close proximity to each other for 30 minutes. Then they split up and disappear rapidly.

Description: (Translated from French) (Cui Fengmin) I am a young soldier of the city guard of Urumqi. In the night of July 1st of this year, I witnessed a UFO phenomenon. (…) At 11:55 PM (Beijing time), lying on my bed, I was reading a magazine; two comrades sharing my room were getting ready to go to bed, when we heard outside, sentinels shouting (…) We rushed out and immediately saw a flying object in the shape of a crown. This object was spinning and throwing a bluish light, like that of an electric arc. It was actually an object in the shape of a hat, with the dome on top. The hat was flying from south to north, it was as big as a bowl. (…) From time to time the luminous hat stayed still and then advanced in jerks. What surprised us the most, is that this hat started to spew from underneath a stream of sparkling matter. This phenomenon lasted about a minute. Finally, this hat which was not far from us, suddenly disappeared. It was then 12:03 AM. (…)(…)

Event 43809 (6EC2636B)

Date: 7/4/1981
Location: USA, in flight, above Lake Michigan
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Gray, the pilot of the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar passenger plane, was flying on autopilot at 37,000 feet. The flight was from San Francisco to New York’s Kennedy Airport, and was approaching the east shore of Lake Michigan. The lake was invisible due to low clouds, but the sky above the plane was clear. Suddenly, from the left front, a silver disc appeared in its full dimension. Its initial shape resembled a sombrero seen from above. The UFO approached the plane in an arc, then abruptly moved away. It then appeared 10 times wider than tall, with six dark openings around its perimeter. At the top left, a light shone like the sun. When the object disappeared in a vertical elevation apparently without difficulty, Gray noted that it was surrounded by dark vapors. The first officer confirmed the observation, but the flight engineer saw nothing.

I searched the sky with my eyes and I saw an airplane flying from west to east. But at the same time I noticed in the sky to the west, a silver colored object that was moving in a straight line. Its shape was very strange: a big metal eggplant. It was flying from north to south. As the plane was making a lot of noise, I don’t know if this object was making any noise too. (…) The eggplant-shaped object was made of metal because it strongly reflected the sunlight. It was flying at about 2000 m from me. It had the size of a man’s shoe sole. Throughout the seven minutes of my observation, it did not change color or direction. (…)(…)

It stops abruptly about 600–900 feet away, then changes direction and begins silently pacing the car. Mrs. Thew, who is driving, becomes frightened and speeds up to 65 mph in an effort to reach a lighted area of town. The UFO keeps pace and moves closer, allowing the witnesses to see more details, such as two slots like vertically elongated rectangles and a row of square portholes. After a while it shoots away to the east. When they arrive home in Temuka at 1:20 a.m., they are surprised to see the object about 1,000 feet overhead. It remains visible another 40 minutes.

Event 43837 (0CD6BA48)

Date: 7/15/1981
Description: A missing time incident occurred in Uppington, England on this night, and an abduction experience was subsequently revealed through hypnosis. Three women, Ms. Walters, Ms. Hawkins, and Ms. Hayward, were driving home from a nightclub at 2:10 a.m. on the A5 expressway when they all suddenly experienced a strange mood change. They all sat quietly, going into some form of limbo. Then across an open field four white and two red lights appeared that seemed to be attached to a dark object. The object was round and began pacing their vehicle. At this point the vehicle seem to lose power and would not accelerate. All the women panicked and became more confused when the UFO and lights suddenly vanished. There was a time lapse, of perhaps 25 minutes, noted when they reached their destination.

Later under hypnosis, one of the women recalled the car being floated up into the sky and entering the bottom of the object through two large double doors. She was held down on a reclining chair and medically examined by several four-foot tall figures, who were hairless and had deep set dark eyes, very thin arms, and strange noses. They wore green cloaks. The second woman recalled being in a large room when several four-foot tall robot like entities with round heads, no facial features and wheel-like feet rolled in; she was not examined. The third woman remembers being hit by a beam of light. She felt pain and was floated into a room, there she encountered two six-foot tall humanoids, one male and the other female, both wearing green cloaks. They both had dark, shoulder-length hair, vivid blue eyes and extremely white skin. They seemed very friendly and appeared intrigued with her clothing. The third woman was also given a medical exam.

Description: Around 11:45 p.m. Chrystal Jackson and her son Chris are driving north on State Highway 17 near Sugar Camp, Wisconsin, when they see a large, reddish-orange, elliptical object hovering near some pine trees less than 500 feet away on their right. One minute later, their car’s speed unaccountably reduces from 55 to 30 mph. The car seems to be dragging, even with the accelerator pressed to the floor. The object keeps the same distance from the car for 10–15 minutes and another 10 miles when they turn west on State Highway 70, although it appears to be stationary. The car regains engine power after another 2 miles. A mechanic later finds that the two fuses controlling the brake lights and tail lights have blown, and the battery is leaking. A few days later, they discover that the thermostat in the engine is broken.

Event 43877 (65ACE19F)

Date: 7/31/1981
Location: Moscow Aviation Institute
Description: An interview with Russian UFO expert Felix Ziegel appears in the Italian weekly magazine Gente, followed by a second part in the August 7 issue. Ziegel claims he has 50,000 UFO reports on file in the Moscow Aviation Institute and has compiled eight volumes of research material that are still unpublished. He believes there are three basic types of UFO occupants: spacemen (tall beings), humanoids (human-like), and aliens (short and like the “greys”). He says that UFOs carry crews of androids that possess the ability to appear and disappear at will and “seem to be deliberately constructed in order to confound all our notions of space, matter, time, and dimension.”

Description: 8:50 p.m. Two men in a motorboat on lake Mönninselkä near Pielisjärvi, Finland, see a dark spot in the sky. Four lights suddenly appear above them, and a fog forms in front of the boat. They lose the ability to move and soon lose consciousness. When they wake up, they are differently placed in the boat, the time is 4:10 a.m., and the boat is drifting. They go back ashore to their cottage, their heads begin to ache, and they feel very sleepy. Their hands tremble for nearly 2 weeks afterward, and their sense of balance is disturbed.

Location: Kinston, North Carolina
Description: 9:15 p.m. A husband and wife are driving along a bumpy road near Kinston, North Carolina, when their headlights and dash lights go out and the engine stops. They open the doors and get out to push the car to the side of the road (noticing later that it is odd that they can see the road on a moonless night) and the lights suddenly come on again. They start the car up again and drive the short way home. Mechanics tell them they don’t know why a car would do that, so they assume there was a UFO involved.

Description: At 8:40 p.m. a black object, covered by “fog”, accompanied by two satellite lights which operated independently, flew over the stern of a boat on a lake near Cape Vaaraniemi, Lieksa, Finland and was watched by two witnesses. One man, age 35, felt paralyzed and couldn’t move his body or his head, but could talk. Seven hours of missing time followed. After effects included intense nightmares and disruption of balance. Hypnosis was unsuccessful in revealing any additional details.

Event 43881 (FCC1F984)

Date: 8/1981
Location: USA, Plainfield (Wisconsin)
Description: (Translated from French) Kim, 15 years old, was with two other young people in a cabin near Plainfield when they felt observed by a mysterious creature 7 feet tall, covered in thick white fur. “Its eyes were deeply set in black orbits,” he said, and neither nose nor mouth were visible. It was outside the cabin, looking through the windows, scratching and tapping on the walls of the cabin. No one dared to go out and the siege lasted all weekend. On Monday morning the creature was gone. When they returned home, the young people were not initially believed by their parents, but seeing the fear in their eyes they returned to the cabin to find in the mud almost human-sized footprints, 35 cm long.

Event 43882 (E0F06A23)

Date: 8/1981
Locations: Cheesefoot Head; Winchester, Wiltshire, England
Description: Three mysterious flattened circles appear in a cornfield within a natural amphitheater known as The Devil’s Punchbowl at Cheesefoot Head near Winchester, Wiltshire, England. The central circle is 55 feet in diameter; two smaller circles are arranged on either side. Ufologist Pat Delgado examines the field and is struck by the sharply defined edges of the circles and the manner in which the cornstalks are flattened in a clockwise swirl. He suspects UFO activity.

Event 43896 (08104795)

Date: 8/8/1981
Locations: Chalupy; Hel peninsula; Gdynia; Poland
Description: 6:15 p.m. A witness is on the beach with some friends at Chalupy on the Hel peninsula, north of Gdynia, Poland. He leaves them briefly to go back to a camping area and sees, 500 feet in front of him, “two boys in dark suits” dashing into the bushes on his right. A moment later they reappear, standing on the path in front of him. They are 5 feet tall, wear green suits, and have green faces with big, almond-shaped eyes and slits for mouths. He can see dark boxes, violet and yellow cables, and tapes and spirals hanging from belts on the entities. He notices a silvery object and receives a telepathic message to “not be afraid.” He walks closer to them and hears another message: “Keep walking. Don’t stop.” The witness has the curious sensation of “passing through the interior of a ball.” He walks past them, looks back, and they have disappeared. On his right, the silvery disc, 6 feet high and 16–20 feet long, is hovering only 3 feet above the ground. Investigators later find seven odd oval marks where the object had been.

Event 43902 (C4511197)

Date: 8/12/1981
Locations: Anderson, Indiana; Eta Tauri
Description: 2:15 a.m. Rupert Pring is several miles outside of Anderson, Indiana, taking time-exposure photographs of the Perseid meteor shower with a camera attached to a tripod. He notices a distant light flashing like a strobe far to the south; it is soon joined by a second strobing light, and both move northeast in a straight line. The lights are as bright as a “halogen automobile headlight at 50 feet.” They stop moving briefly twice near the star Eta Tauri, then make a sharp right turn to the southeast. When Pring first notices the lights, he gets out of his car for a better sight, but freezes abruptly, “like something heavy was pushing down on my head and shoulders.” He experiences nausea for three days afterward and has a temporary, day-long memory loss. Meanwhile, the camera has captured much of the 6-second flight path of the lights in an 8-minute time exposure. Further investigation prompts Pring to reveal that he and his wife had an abduction experience with missing time later that morning. As for the photo, the lights were most likely caused by Pring failing to close the shutter of his camera as he removed it from the tripod and thus picked up two mercury-vapor lights at a farmhouse about a half-mile away.

Locations: La Rochelle; Mutare, Zimbabwe
Description: 6:00 p.m. Twenty workers returning from the fields at the Forestry Commission Station of La Rochelle, 5.5 miles northeast of Mutare, Zimbabwe, see a ball of light moving around at a low level. Clifford Muchena is in charge of the group, and he watches the 5-foot fireball maneuver around the grounds then move up to an observation tower, entering through the top window before it bursts into flame. As Muchena is ringing a warning bell, he sees the fireball come back down the tower, go past him, and burst into flame again at an outbuilding. Muchena goes to douse the fire but stops when he sees three men wearing silver coveralls. The light is too bright to see clearly, and after it goes out the beings are gone. Women in the compound have seen the fireball and the entities and run out into the bush, thinking they are ghosts.

Event 43910 (F4A28BAB)

Date: 8/16/1981
Locations: Cyprus; Akrotiri; Dhekelia; RAF Lakenheath
Description: A huge object approaches the island of Cyprus. Radar at a Sovereign British Base, either Akrotiri or Dhekelia, track it at 30,000 feet going 900 mph. It comes to a sudden stop and hovers above the base for 45 minutes. Witnesses take many photos of a bright white triangle more than 700 feet long. Allegedly, the Ministry of Defence had sent an encrypted message to the base prior to the sighting, ordering a “complete stand-down of aircraft in the event that any strange ‘aerial phenomena’” are sighted. On August 17, a man and woman arrive at the base, stay for 6 hours, then leave with all the photos and other evidence. Shortly afterward, according to an informant, US and UK Air Force personnel meet at RAF Lakenheath in England to discuss the case.

At 10:30 p.m. Mr. Santoro, a reserve police officer was driving near the town of Alpine, California when he encountered a huge dark, disc-shaped object hovering 15 feet above the roadway. The witness’s vehicle suddenly stopped on its own accord. There was a bright flash, then moments later two small Grey humanoid beings approached and took him from his vehicle. He found himself back in his vehicle 15 minutes later and saw the dark disc rising rapidly into the sky, shining a beam of white light towards the ground. The witness fired four shots at the object and then drove home at high speed. Magnetic cassette tapes in the witness’s vehicle had been partially erased. In El Cajon, California a 27-year old computer engineer was abducted at 10:35 p.m. A luminous object illuminated the interior of his car. The luminous object then circled his car, and the witness fired a pistol at the object and attempted to flee the scene. He was badly frightened by the experience, and discovered that he had a memory loss and could not account for 30 minutes of his time. Red dots like puncture marks were found on his wrists, suggesting that he had been abducted as well. His digital watch was also damaged.

Location: Great Britain, Weston Mill Hill (Plymouth)
Description: (Translated from French) Denise Bishop, 23 years old, was turning the corner of the bungalow to go home at 11:15 pm when she saw a gigantic object that looked like a dark gray metallic crab, hovering above other houses at the top of a hill. At the bottom there were 6 or 7 lamps that sent out wide beams of pink, purple and white light. She was terrified and rushed to the door. As she put her hand on the latch, a beam of lemon-green light hit the back of her hand. Although it was a magnificent sight, she was terrified. The green ray stayed lit for about 30 seconds without giving any clarity, then went out. All around her there was a special silence, which only stopped when the object took off. Rubbing her hand, she ran to tell her sister, but the UFO had disappeared. The dog started sniffing her hand, then she felt tingling and there were like little drops of blood: it was a burn. Her brother-in-law came back around 2:30 am after his work as a disc jockey and advised to call the police.

Event 43941 (CD6DB022)

Date: 9/10/1981
Location: Weston Mill, Plymouth, England
Description: 11:15 p.m. Denise Bishop, 23, is returning to her home in Weston Mill, Plymouth, England, when she sees some lights behind the house. As she goes to the back of the bungalow, she sees an enormous metallic-gray UFO hovering above houses on top of a hill. Six or seven broad shafts of light are shining down on the rooftops beneath it. As she grabs the doorknob to go inside, a lime-green pencil of light comes from the object and hits the back of her hand and she cannot move. The light remains for 30 seconds; when it switches off, she opens the door and goes inside. The UFO then lifts into the sky and moves away. An hour of so later, she notices a burn mark on her hand. The next day she visits Bob Boyd, an investigator with the Plymouth UFO Research Group, who takes photos of her hand, which has a patch of shiny dermis with spots of blood and bruising. On September 12, Boyd visits her with a nurse, who persuades her to see a doctor. Scab tissue forms on September 15, followed by a scar that is still visible in July 1982.

Event 43942 (E429E2A6)

Description: At around 11:00 p.m. Denise Bishop, age 23, of Weston Mill, Plymouth, Devonshire, England had a time distortion while in contact with a pencil thin, green beam of light from a 125 foot wide, metallic appearing UFO. It felt “as though a film had been stopped and started again.” The huge UFO was the “same shape as the body of a crab”, and it hovered over a hill of residential houses, emitting 6 to 7 pink, purple and white light beams. The green beam of light from the UFO hit her left hand, and she was unable to move. Some congealed matter formed on her hand, causing a burn. She still had a burn on her hand three months later that looked like a “pale birth mark.”

Event 43943 (83DA59B8)

Date: 9/11/1981
Description: After having a late dinner with some friends, Mauricio Cavallo decided to drive around Monferrato hill in Trino Vercellese, Piemonte, Italy. He parked his vehicle and proceeded to explore on foot. He soon saw a bright football-shaped light that appeared to descend into the thick woods. After checking where he thought the light had landed, and failing to find anything, he decided to drive home. At home he felt uneasy and could not sleep. Inexplicably, around three a.m. he decided to drive back to the site where the light had come down. When he arrived he was overcome by a strange malaise, and soon saw a reddish orange yellow light floating about 100 meters away. Terrified, Cavallo felt himself being levitated up towards the light. His next recollection was of being inside a sphere where he was able to perceive numerous lights and movement around him. He then heard a metallic voice in his head tell him not to be afraid. Soon a tall woman, about 1.90 meters in height, appeared in front of Cavallo. She had black hair in a bun, Oriental shaped eyes, and she lacked any fingernails. She wore a long sleeveless habit with white boots. Among other things, the woman told Cavallo that she hailed from the planet Clarion and that her name was Ciama.

Description: (Translated from French) At 9am Barbara Crabtree saw a creature 7 to 8 feet tall in the wheat field behind her house. It was covered in dirty white fur and had very large eyes, which she couldn’t make out the details of due to the distance, and scared, quickly went back into her house. She assumes the creature took a dead chicken she had thrown in the trash that morning, as in the afternoon the chicken was no longer there. In the evening, coming back in the car with her husband, they saw the same creature come out of the woods on the side of the road. A few days later they heard growling outside and the dog started barking furiously.

Description: Hungarian-American filmmaker and UFO hobbyist Colman VonKeviczky, founder of the Intercontinental UFO Galactic Spacecraft Research and Analytic Network, writes a five-page letter to President Ronald Reagan, claiming that UFOs are an extraterrestrial task force that will destroy earth unless world leaders collaborate. It is the third time he has written, and it includes 17 documents that illustrate the “potential threat of the UFO forces.” In response to VonKeviczky’s letter to Reagan, Maj. Gen. Robert L. Schweitzer, White House chief military advisor, writes: “The President is well aware of the threat you document so clearly and is doing all in his power to restore the national defense margin of safety as quickly and prudently as possible.” VonKeviczky shows the letter to the Associated Press, which contacts Schweitzer, who says the letter is a mistake and thought the threat refers to the Soviets. Schweitzer is fired on October 21 for making unauthorized belligerent statements about Russia.

Event 43986 (DEFFA26C)

Date: 10/1981
Locations: Nellis AFB; Las Vegas, Nevada
Description: USAF Airman Simone Mendez, 21, trained as a telecommunications specialist, is working at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a top-secret clearance. One of her coworkers gives her a top-secret message with a copy of a classified document stating that NORAD has been tracking UFOs entering the Earth’s atmosphere. She holds on to it until January 1982 when she attempts to return the document to Nellis. She is told that the document must be destroyed. One thing leads to another, and Mendez finds herself under interrogation by the FBI and AFOSI. This includes polygraph tests, which she fails because she finds them very distressing. This leads to an emotional breakdown, hospitalization, and medication. There are more interrogations over the next few months, and another hospitalization. Eventually, the Air Force clears her of criminal charges, but her security clearance is stripped, and she is transferred to another base.

Event 43990 (F7A4E2E5)

Date: 10/2/1981
Location: Victoria, British Columbia
Description: Afternoon. Three days after a nighttime UFO sighting, Grant Breiland goes down to the business district in Victoria, British Columbia, to meet a friend. When the friend does not show, Breiland calls him up from a pay phone. Immediately afterward, he sees two men watching him. Dressed in dark suits, they have suntanned, expressionless faces and unblinking eyes. When they speak, their lips do not move. The first one asks his name, then the second asks for his address and phone number. He does not respond, and after 5 seconds, the men leave through the main door and walk in perfect synchronization to a nearby roadway. Breiland follows them and sees them enter a muddy plowed field some 80–90 feet across. Three-quarters of the way across, the men vanish, leaving no footprints behind. During the entire time the men are visible, no other human beings are in view and no cars pass by.

Event 44015 (37911324)

Date: 10/17/1981
Description: Abel Boro was hunting with his friend Ribamar Ferreira in the rain forest in Matoes, near Parnarama, Maranhao State, Brazil when they saw a bright star that descended and hovered over the two terrified men, focusing its light on Boro. He climbed a tree and Ferreira ran away. The object hovered over the tree, spinning around and doing something bad to Boro, who was shaking with fear. His body was glittering. When Ferreira came back with help, Boro was dead; his body was all white and he reportedly didn’t have a drop of blood left in him.

Date: 10/24/1981
Description: Two men were fishing close to the mouth of the River Salso near the city of Licata, Sicilia, Italy around 7:45 p.m. when they noticed some lights emerging from the sea. Five minutes later they noticed emerging from the surface three bright lights or forms that approached their position. One of the men grabbed a flashlight and pointed it towards the source of the lights. He was now able to see a two-meter tall humanoid standing in water up to its knees. The creature appeared hairy and was apparently only seen by one of the men, who felt a mysterious attraction towards the creature and the lights. Frightened, he fled the scene along with the other man who had only seen the lights.

Event 44028 (A48698FB)

Date: 10/24/1981
Description: Two young men traveling on an isolated stretch of road near Port Lincoln, South Australia stopped their vehicle at 9:30 p.m. after one of them reported seeing what appeared to be a “flare” in the sky to his left, southeast towards Spencer Gulf. They stopped and both saw a second light that moved around and flew up and down the hills and gullies, before stopping in one particular gully. They continued to watch for a while before setting off again. The two talked about what they had seen, and shortly one of them felt like stopping again. What happened next was a missing time and abduction experience that was hard for them to explain. He recalls “drifting off” into a white endless space. He knew he was there but he couldn’t move. A figure 1.2 meters tall walked up the road and stopped in front of him. It looked like it was wearing a toga like the Romans wore. It stood there for a while before vanishing. The other man woke up and sat for a while before his friend asked, “What happened”? He recalled walking into a big white room and also had vague recollections of an entity, seen as an outline standing some 15 meters away from the car. They had several hours of unaccounted for time.

She was sleeping on the upper floor, and her mother and two friends were sleeping on the floor below. She woke up in the night, went to the window, and suddenly saw a “svelte” round saucer of light. She wanted to call her friends, but she couldn’t move. All she felt was a kind of great happiness, as she watched the colorful light displays produced by the apparition. The object was about ten meters above her, and it was quite transparent; she remembers seeing a desk with people inside. Suddenly it was all over. In the morning she had proof that she hadn’t been dreaming: the curtains were still open. (Note from Vog: Huge proof, indeed!) She talked about it in her book “Ich bin ein Berliner” (Goldmann-Verlag).

Event 44045 (B96FA4C7)

Date: 11/1981
Location: Hessdalen valley, Norway
Description: Residents of the Hessdalen valley, Norway, begin reporting frequent sightings of unusual lights that hover (sometimes for as long as an hour) and sometimes streak off at speeds that render them all but invisible. On many occasions the lights are below the horizon, either just beneath the tops of nearby mountains or not far from the ground or the rooftops of nearby houses. The lights come in various shapes, but three predominate: a bullet or cigar, a sphere, and an “upside-down Christmas tree.” They are usually yellow or white. Sometimes a small red light appears in front of the others, the various lights maintaining a fixed position, leading observers to suspect they are all attached to a single, dark object. More often than not, they are seen at night moving from north to south; but daylight sightings also occur, usually during the winter. Anomalous sounds are sometimes reported. Especially frequent activity occurs between December 1981 and mid-1984, when the lights are seen 15–20 times per week, attracting many tourists.

Date: 11/8/1981
Description: At around 3 p.m. a 15 meter long metallic ovoid landed 15 meters away from six teenagers in Praglia, Liguria, Italy. The six boys were racing dirt bikes near a lake when one of them fell and hit his head. Two of the boys went to assist him, when suddenly a bright green light was seen descending over the surface of the lake. Inside the light appeared to be a gray metallic, oval-shaped craft that descended on telescopic like landing gear near the witnesses. A door became visible, and a tall, human-looking UFOnaut emerged. His arms seemed to be extended up into the air. He wore losse fitting, silvery coveralls. His arms appeared to be very long, and his feet resembled oval appendages. The being seemed to have no neck, and a triangular shaped head with normal looking eyes. The humanoid proceeded to walk towards the lake, and then to walk on the surface of the water. A few moments later he walked back into the object, which took off at high speed, disturbing the surface of the lake.

Event 44067 (8D9079F4)

Date: 11/13/1981
Location: USA, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula
Description: (Translated from French) At the Barone farm, Roxanne, 12 years old, heard noises in the barn in the evening and, not daring to go and see alone, was accompanied by Tina, her 13 year old sister. Tina went in first and, feeling around, searched for the light switch. Instead of a switch, her hand encountered something furry. She thought it might be a goat or some other animal. But it was something else entirely. It was growling softly, standing up and very tall - 6 to 7 feet - and covered in black fur. Its eyes were red. So as not to provoke the creature, Tina slowly backed out of the barn. Little cousin David, who had come out of the house with a revolver, fired a shot in the air. Then the creature ran off, fleeing into the distance on two legs. Tina said the creature was something between a monkey and a bear, with very long arms. At the beginning of December, Tina’s mother saw the creature again, sitting or crouching in front of the barn and looking at it. She supposes that the sacks of grain and apples that were ripped open were the work of this creature.

The truck began to vibrate, and hefelt a tingling sensation all over his body. He was unable to move as the truck was lifted up into the air and seemed to become transparent. Meneses then blacked out. He later awoke sitting confused in his truck at a location about 55 miles from where he had been, and did not remember how he got there. He was hospitalized in a state of confusion, shock, and disorientation. When he awoke he also had a vague memory of a humanoid encounter.Later under hypnotic regression he remembered being taken inside a room with mirror like walls, where he was made to lie down on a cot-like bed. He saw three short thin humanoids with dark gray skin, extremely long arms and thick wrinkles on their foreheads. The little beings communicated with Meneses using telepathy.

Description: (Translated from French) Hundreds of observations of curious phenomena, mainly yellow balls, powerful white-blue lights and groups of multicolored lights, and even non-luminous objects visible only during the day. The trajectories can be varied; the phenomena are recorded on various devices, sometimes on radar. Natural origin appears probable. (Science et Vie, special edition 1997: 50 years of UFO, Atlas of Unsolved Cases, pp. 60-63) On December 20, 1981, Nils Kare Nesvold and Per Holden, passing through Vongraven, saw a large star emerge from the sky and fly in a straight line over the mountain peaks. It was followed by a cluster of 19 other lights. It was all flickering, descending, accelerating, slowing down together. This was the first of a series of observations that would last for 5 years with hundreds of eyewitnesses. Most often the lights were observed in the evening, between 7:30 pm and 10:30 pm.

Description: Investigator Paul Bennewitz was sending regular reports to the APRO and contacted US Senator Harrison Schmidt and Senator Peter Domenici, as well as other UFO investigators such as Linda Moulton Howe and John Lear. By 1982, APRO had decided to investigate Bennewitz’s claims. They sent William Moore, one of their directors and a former schoolteacher turned writer and ufologist, to talk to Bennewitz. Bill Moore later stated in a public confession that he was recruited by someone with the code name Falcon to lead Paul Bennewitz astray by giving him false information. He claimed that he was given his orders by AFOSI agents (believed to be Richard Doty and Steve Atwater), and that for four years, he was asked to feed disinformation, including the forged “Aquarius Document” to Bennewitz. This disinformation included “verification” of Bennewitz’s beliefs about the “grays” and the underground base at Dulce. Bennewitz had to be hospitalized for “exhaustion”. He later died on June 23, 2003.

Description: In a 12/14/2022 article titled “The NSA Cash-Landrum (C-L) UFO Document”, under the section “The Army Investigation and the Lawsuit”, there is the following text showing a connection or association between US Army Col. John B. Alexander and the Cash-Landrum incident: “In 1982, Department of the Army Inspector General (DAIG) ordered Lt. Col. George Sarran to determine whether Army helicopters were involved in the C-L incident, but his mission was not to investigate the UFO report. To be thorough, Sarran contacted several ufologists, John Schuessler, the primary investigator; his former VISIT colleague Capt. Richard C. Niemtzow; M.D., USAF; and Dr. Peter Rank, Radiologist. Although not named in the documentation, US ARmy Col. John B. Alexander says that both he and his friend U.S. Navy Captain Paul Tyler (medical consultant for the Remote Viewing program) were also consulted. In his report, Sarran eliminated the Army as a suspect, and he found no evidence of helicopters flying by any other U.S. government entity - or by anyone else. However, Sarran had interviewed both Mrs. Cash and Landrum, and he explicitly described them as “credible.””

Description: 10:00 PM+. Two local militia sergeants were driving a “UAZ-469” vehicle (Russian patrol jeep) in an area about 10-15 kilometers from the city when suddenly they saw a very bright beam of light shining down to earth from somewhere in the sky. The beam of light appeared to be scanning the surface of the ground, and every blade of grass appeared to be lit by it. Several seconds later a hatch opened on the hull of the craft and several tall (about 3-4 meters in height) humanoids exited the object and went to a nearby field. The men could only speak in stuttering voices. At first they were subjected to alcohol tests but it proved negative, both were then sent to a mental hospital.

Locations: Inslaw; Israel; Ronald Reagan; Fabrizio Calvi; Thierry Pfister
Description: The National Security Agency, through the Department of Justice, covertly misappropriates a Prosecutors Management Information System (PROMIS) developed by private firm Inslaw to aid prosecutors in tracking cases. Inslaw claims that the feds withheld payments on the software, then pirated it, making modifications to allow it to monitor intelligence operations, then giving or selling it to Israel and 80 other countries through Earl W. Brian , a man with close personal and business ties to President Ronald Reagan and then-presidential counsel Edwin Meese . The NSA uses it to covertly conduct real-time electronic surveillance of the flow of money to suspected terrorists and other perceived threats to US national interests. Fabrizio Calvi and Thierry Pfister in 1997 claim that NSA has been “seeding computers abroad with PROMIS-embedded SMART (Systems Management Automated Reasoning Tools) chips, code-named Petrie, a Trojan horse capable of covertly downloading data and transmitting it, using electrical wiring as an antenna, to US intelligence satellites” as part of an espionage operation.

Event 44144 (A4618E66)

Date: 1982
Description: A USAF Capt. states while stationed at Fort Hood, in the late 1960s a pilot had to make a forced landing over a restricted air corridor at Gray AAF/Robert Gray Field. The pilot saw a huge section of land separating like giant sliding doors with vegetation intact revealing a huge corridor inside; the pilot was blindfolded and taken into the jeep inside the underground complex, inside a long corridor and interrogated by two men. He was blindfolded again where his aircraft was refused for him and was told not to speak of the incident.

In 1973, two witnesses saw a square UAP with lights and were approached by Chinook helicopters, who took up a tight formation around the UAP. The UAPs and helicopters disappeared out of sight; the next day, the witness called Fort Hood and was told there was a routine recon training mission in the area. Another researcher told the men who flew the helicopter were code named BLUEBOYS and it was a special group involved in UAP work. Another son of a man who allegedly worked underground beneath Fort Hood stated the technology involved is “science fiction.”

Event 44145 (2463144D)

Date: 1982
Description: Kit Green states he hired a retired senior USAF officer who was a physician to work on a science board at the CIA. This man told Green “the stories about alien incursions, recoveries and information are true.” He told Green he would clear him for the programs, but this never happened.

Even during Green’s retirement while at General Motors, this USAF officer told him he’d get cleared but it never happened.

Green never named the individual but it was revealed he passed away in 1997, and later evidence shows this was likely Brig. Gen. Donald Flickinger, who was a director of “human factors” for the USAF’s plan to put a man into space, he was a consultant for NASA and CIA, and he worked in the fields of bio-astronautics and life sciences.

Description: (Translated from French) Around 8:30 PM, farmer Morato was having trouble with his tractor, which had stopped running due to the frequent rains of the season. He went to seek help from a neighbor, who came right away with his own tractor. Suddenly the two men saw a dazzling light descending: it descended very close to the ground. Stunned, they saw on the Los Garabatos property, a hundred meters away from them, a well-defined cylindrical shape, about thirty meters long. They observed it for 5 minutes, which seemed like an eternity before fleeing, one tractor towing the other, towards another farm. These people had seen nothing, but there was static on the television for several minutes and the image was very disturbed. Instead of a landing, visited the next day, the ground was colored and seemed orange, which contrasted strongly with the surrounding land.

Event 44182 (154D0AEA)

Date: 2/8/1982

Description: Capt. Gerson Maciel de Britto, piloting a Boeing 727 for VASP Flight 169, notices an intense light source while flying over Petrolina, Pernambuco, Brazil, on a southern course. It starts accompanying the aircraft in a parallel course, keeping the same distance. But the object soon begins changing its speed, moving ahead of the plane and then allowing it to catch up. As it approaches Belo Horizonte, the object approaches the plane, allowing crew and 150 passengers to view its lenticular form. At this point, the light emanating from the UFO penetrates the interior of the cabin and illuminates it with a bluish tint. The UFO is still in clear view as the aircraft begins landing at Galeão Airport in Rio de Janeiro. Some witnesses on the Rio-Niterói Bridge also see the object.

Event 44211 (BE5416AA)

Date: 2/19/1982
Locations: Lake Onega; Petrozavodsk; Republic of Karelia; Russia
Description: 4:54 p.m. A strange radiance is noticed in the sky above the frozen Lake Onega, from Petrozavodsk in the Republic of Karelia, Russia. The glow is pale blue and is shaped like a cloud, inside of which is an elliptical bright spot. After a few minutes, the bright spot disappears behind the forest, but the luminescent cloud remains in the sky for a time. Around 5:00 p.m., two more spots appear, moving together. One of them resembles the first object but is smaller. The other is a luminous sphere moving in a spiral. As it moves, it leaves a hazy trail that quickly disappears. At 5:15 p.m., a bright arrow-shaped object flies directly above the city a great speed, leaving a trail. None of the objects make any sound.

Event 44212 (114EE09C)

Date: 2/19/1982
Description: At 9:15 p.m. Juan Fattorel, age 41, was driving his truck along a secondary road in Allen, Rio Negro Province, Argentina when his engine suddenly cut out. He coasted to a stop and pulled over to the side of the road. He next heard a loud buzzing sound coming somewhere from his left and in close proximity. When he looked he saw a small silvery mushroom-shaped disc hovering a meter over the ground about 10 meters away. It appeared to be balancing itself with short ascending and descending movements. At that moment his eyesight began to become blurry. He next heard a deep “electronic” voice coming from the object, which sounded somewhat threatening in nature. It told him to step out of the truck. Frightened, he refused to move, thinking he would be robbed. When he attempted to restart the truck he felt a painful, tingling sensation in his neck and blacked out. He experienced at least 20 minutes of missing time. When he woke up he was unable to see clearly, with a buzzing sound in his ears and still feeling some pain in his neck. He had some unexplained burns on his skin. A passing motorist picked him up, and he was hospitalized in a state of confusion, shock, and disorientation.

Clancarty thinks the totals must be higher, but Long explains that not all reports reach the MoD. The Earl of Kimberley asks how many of those remain unidentified, and Long replies that he does not have those figures as they “disappeared into the unknown before we got them.” Peter Hill-Norton asks whether all UFO reports received by the MoD before 1962 were destroyed because they were of “no defense interest,” and if so, who decided that. Long says that all reports have been preserved since 1967.

Event 44242 (86436159)

Date: 3/12/1982
Location: USSR, between Alma-Ata and Tashkent - in flight and from Tomsk to Novosibirsk
Description: (Translated from French) A regular airline plane was attacked by a UFO. It was an ovoid object, close to the traditional flying saucer, which started by circling the plane for a long time, at a speed that no human aircraft could reach in the atmosphere. Suddenly, it seemed to try to crash into it, trying to reach the cockpit. The pilot maneuvered to prevent the collision. The UFO then disappeared at very high speed towards the northwest. (L.D. - NOSTRA - 20.1.1983) A metallic object, like a missile, attacked a freight train (probably carrying nuclear material) that was rolling from Tomsk to Novosibirsk (Siberia) while at the same time an airline plane was caught in the circular flight of a UFO between Alma Ata and Taschkent.

Description: 2:00 a.m. Tim Miron, 18, is driving north on I Road northwest of Escanaba, Michigan, when he sees an orange-red light, which gets bigger and begins flashing red beams from its underside after he turns on I.5 Lane. The object keeps moving closer and he sees it directly behind a telephone pole to his left 125 feet from the road, hovering 10 feet above the ground. Miron arrives at his family’s farm, jumps out, and sees the UFO moving directly toward him. He wakes up his mother and the two of them watch the object for the next 30–45 minutes as it maneuvers over a wide area around the farm, finally disappearing behind some trees.

Location: India, Mudumalai Reserve
Description: (Translated from French) E.B., a young woman, and her friend A.J. leaving their bungalow at nightfall in the Mudumalai Reserve between Mysore and Otacamund in southern India, noticed a bright white light blinking from the other side of the river. After crossing the bridge, they followed the other bank and, as they got closer, the light became brighter with diffuse vibrations. They then saw, at a distance of 50 m, a kind of cigar 10 m long that moved to the left and rose into the sky with jets of fire, while three beings wearing white suits, about 1.7 m tall, were bent over the ground, seemingly picking something up with very slow movements. An intense and diffuse white light ball, 3 m in diameter, was hovering above them. The whole scene lasted about 4 minutes without any noise. Then the ball and the beings disappeared and for an hour a part of the sky resembling a large cloud was crossed in all directions by long white luminous rays, while the rest of the sky remained intact.

Locations: Petrolia, Pennsylvania; Pittsburgh
Description: 7:15 p.m. Three men are repairing a jeep in Petrolia, Pennsylvania, when one of them notices a bright object with a flashing red light just above the trees. A few minutes later they see it has risen much higher. After they turn on the jeep’s headlights, the bright object moves toward them. When they turn the lights off again, the object backs away. The lights go on again, and the UFO passes over their heads at 250 feet. Its bright lights go out, and its triangular shape becomes clear, as well as its gun-metal color and the luminescent mist surrounding it. A red light is on the front, with white and amber lights on the other angles. Two bright lights shoot away from the triangle, one going north and the other south. When a jet approaches from the east, the object stops and becomes bright. Then it rises straight up until it is out of sight. For several days, the witnesses have severe headaches, and one has diarrhea. Other triangular UFOs are seen in the Pittsburgh area from March 22 to May 19.

Location: SPACE
Description: (Translated from French) On May 1, 1982, after almost 25 years of space exploration, nearly 2300 rocket launches had put a total of almost unbelievable 13,168 different objects into orbit. Each launch is accompanied, in fact, by the satellization of several different bodies: the satellite itself (sometimes in a cluster of eight…), the last stage of the carrier rocket, the protective cone which sometimes splits into several parts, and different ancillary bodies: straps, bolts, etc… At the same date, there were still 4631 objects in orbit. [Note from Vog: which means, apart from the successful and publicly recognized recoveries, that about 8500 terrestrial objects have descended to Earth between 1957 and 1980, that is, about one per day!]

Event 44355 (B477A60F)

Date: 5/29/1982
Location: Spain, Vitoria (Alava)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 6:15 pm school was over. Among the multitude of boys from the Marianist college, Geraclio Arana and Sebastian Izquierdo, both around ten years old, were returning home together as they lived in the same building. On this splendid day, they observed a very bright point in the sky descending towards the nearby Olàrizu fields. Near this hill where a large stone cross is erected, there was an object in the sky that clearly had the shape of a white egg and seemed to sway like a dead leaf. Excited, the two young schoolboys left their usual route to get closer to the place by a small path. Having walked about a hundred meters on the path, a glance at the UFO showed that it had descended even lower, circling around the hill. On what seemed to be the fuselage, the two boys then saw a red symbol: it had the shape of a cross with each end having a half circle. The sight of this strange “letter” scared the boys and almost running they went back up the path to go home.

Event 44359 (7F383CE0)

Date: 6/3/1982
Location: USSR, Kapustin Yar (Volgograd)
Description: (Translated from French) The Americans did not fail to highlight a space experience, which the Soviets apparently did not wish to make public. This was Cosmos 1374 launched at 21:30 UTC. After completing one and a quarter orbits, the satellite detached to return to Earth. Its mission was already complete. In fact, it was not a landing but a splashdown, which is surprising given that until then the USSR had always landed its recoverable satellites, for simple geographical reasons. Only two “Zond” automatic spacecraft returning from the Moon had splashed down in the Indian Ocean. Precisely, Cosmos 1374 landed in the Indian Ocean, 550 km south of the Cocos Islands, about 2000 km from the Australian coast. The satellite remained exactly 109 minutes in space, at an average altitude of 225 km, at an inclination of 50.7°. The Russians had just tested a small inhabited spacecraft. The recovery operations involving seven Russian ships were followed and photographed by an Australian Air Force Lockheed P-3 Orion. The story does not say if it was flying over this area by chance.

Event 44363 (7C054EFF)

Date: 6/10/1982
Location: USA, Umatilla National Forest
Description: (Translated from French) Paul Freman, 39 years old, a patrolman for the Walla Walla area of the Blue Mountains, was alone in the forest that morning around 11:30. “Suddenly I saw something 10 feet tall rise up from a bench by the side of the road and come in my direction. We saw each other at the same time. It looked like the pictures I had seen of prehistoric man. It was really hairy, reddish hair. It covered its legs, arms and shoulders. But the face and chest were less hairy and showed a skin that looked like brown leather. I was 65 yards away from it and we just stood there, looking at each other. I could hear it breathing hard, as if it had been running and I could see the muscles of its stomach moving. Out of caution I stepped back a few paces. It had the hair on its neck and shoulders standing up, like a dog when it’s angry. When it saw that I wasn’t coming any closer, it turned around and went away.” The creature seemed very strong. Having a lot of experience with wild animals, Freeman says he had never seen anything like it. He then called his colleagues on the phone and they took photos and made imprints of the footprints left by the creature. They found 22 of them. Each one was 14 inches long, 7 inches wide and spaced 6 to 8 feet apart from the next one. Two days later, another witness, Robert France, saw an identical creature in the Chesnut area, beyond the Hillside village of Derry Township. (June 10, 1982)

Price believed there were “underground” bases in which UAP emanated from. Atwater attempted to corroborate these claims and did, using Army personnel outside of USG work hours.

The unofficial Project 8200 claimed to view UAP associated underground locations at Mt.
Hayes, AK, Mt. Ziel, Australia, Mt. Nyangani, Zimbabwe, and Mt. Perdido, Spain. The unofficial project
claimed these four locations — and possibly others — were integral in working together to communicate with space based platforms associated with UAP.

Later a dog that was with them began barking, then ran inside. The women next heard a peculiar sucking or croaking noise that was repeated four times, then a figure appeared suddenly in the empty field. It was normal height and wore a one-piece uniform that had a round helmet with visor. There was also a hose-like protrusion that came out of the visor. In one hand it held a square box that seemed connected to the hose. The women became frightened and ran inside. The police were called and searched the area but failed to find anything.

Description: At 10:30 p.m. a married couple and their son were driving home to Kent, Washington and were near Lake Sawyer when they noticed an illuminated object above the tree line, projecting a beam of light into the sky which moved back and forth like a searchlight. The object had four red body lights. When they stopped at a stop sign, they saw that the searchlight beam had disappeared and a new light beam had begun rotating in a downward direction. Moreoever, the UFO appeared to be moving in their direction. As they turned a corner, a bright beam of light shone down into their car “bathing the driver in red light.” The light and object then disappeared.

Event 44502 (1CE94429)

Date: 9/29/1982
Description: Hal Puthoff tells Jacques Vallée that he had a friend at Sandia whose uncle-in-law was said to have studied a crashed saucer in the 1950s and duplicated an antigravity device; Hal states the uncle-in-law was found hanged with his hands tied behind his back and his lab in shambles. The man placed his plans in a bank safe but when his family tried to access it, the bank told them “government men bearing official identification” had opened the box and confiscated the contents.

Hal states his friend from Sandia is “panicking” and his house has been burglarized several times; this man was studying an alleged energy machine “Johnson’s motor,” and the models were taken apart by whoever broke into his house.

Event 44509 (ECECD373)

Date: 10/1982
Location: Sweetwater County, WYOMING
Description: (late September-early November) Several livestock mutilations were reported here (and in adjoining Daggett County, Utah) during this period. According to Sweetwater County Deputy Sheriff Theron Wilde, helicopters were also being reported. On Sunday, the 10th of October, Wilde, whose own ranch is in the area of the mutilations, saw a small two-seater helicopter, with a glass bubble and a silver tail with red at the end of the tail. It was circling over the pasture lands. On November 7, the same or a similar chopper flew over in the same circling pattern. This area was the scene of a “shootout” of sorts between a reserve lawman and a mystery helicopter in 1977. (Ref. 3)

hed close together. They move in a northerly direction at a great speed, apparently about 43–50 miles in 5 seconds, or about 35,000 mph. Suddenly light rays flash down toward the ground simultaneously from all three objects. The rays are made up cones with an opening angle of about 15°. Their color is a powerful white with a bluish hue, especially at the sides. After 20–25 seconds, the rays begin to widen just as the light begins to diminish in strength. In 2–3 seconds the cones became “an ocean” of light with an opening angle of some 180°. Then they move off one by one with a separation time of one second. At the same moment as the lights go out there appears an ellipsoid object that gives off a faint light, but nevertheless is distinctly visible. Its color is pink with a deeper color tone that becomes gray just underneath the object. It is motionless, hanging in the sky for 30 minutes, then it suddenly disappears. All of the observers feel a strange, dead silence during the entire observation.

Date: 10/18/1982
Location: USA, Lake Norman, McGuire
Description: (Translated from French) At around 7:30 in the morning, Gary Fortenberry and Jimmy Bumgarner, employees at the McGuire nuclear base near Lake Norman, were driving along Highway 73 along the Catawba River when they observed, above a bank of fog, an enormous silver object with “4 feet” which they took to be a water tower. However, later in the day, when they took the same route again, they noticed that there was no construction in that area. Only high-tension lines crossed the area. (…)

Event 44541 (14DA2F3E)

Date: 10/19/1982
Locations: eastern Mediterranean Sea; RAF Troödos on Cyprus; coast of Israel or Lebanon
Description: Night. A US Air Force RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft monitoring Soviet military activity is buzzed by a huge object (larger than the RC-135) over the eastern Mediterranean Sea. British personnel at RAF Troödos on Cyprus listen to the radio calls of the American crew for 90 minutes as the encounter unfolds at 35,000 feet. The UFO, described as a multitude of lights flashing 20 at a time, is picked up on the aircraft’s radar as it approaches from the south about 2 miles away. It circles around the plane and closes in. Two US Navy F-14 fighters are scrambled from an aircraft carrier, and an RAF Phantom is diverted from a night flying exercise to intercept the object south of Cyprus. As the three interceptors approach, the RC-135 crew sees the object depart to the south. The fighter pilots can see nothing. Following the incident, British authorities launch a secret investigation, the results of which (including a transcript of the RC-135 crew’s conversation with ground controllers) are sent to the US Department of Defense in November. One senior RAF official strongly suspects that the object is a mirage effect from lights on the coast of Israel or Lebanon.

Event 44542 (1AED751F)

Date: 10/20/1982
Location: USSR, region of Pietropavlovsk
Description: (Translated from French) Due to bad weather conditions at the Magadan airport, the IL-62 flight, registration number 86457 (flight 206) from Moscow, had to land in Pietropavlovsk. During the approach maneuver, around 7:29 PM, they saw a luminous object parallel to their plane, which was moving at different altitudes and speeds. The radio conversation about this was recorded. The observation lasted half an hour. Once on the ground, Captain Vasilievikh made a report regarding the functioning of the instruments and the airport service. On the ground, a civilian and a military, both working at the control tower, had also observed the luminous object.

After 20 minutes the object takes off silently. The witness, a cellular biologist, reports that when the UFO rises up, the grass under it stands up straight. In the afternoon, the witness notes that two amaranth plants located near the UFO have desiccated, withered leaves. The witness calls the Gendarmerie, who inspect the garden and take some samples of the amaranth plants. The analysis of the samples made by GEPAN finds that the plants are dehydrated, but there is no evidence of radiation.

Description: 9:20 a.m. Pilot Michael Davis and his father (a student pilot) are flying a 1968 Piper PA-28 Cherokee 140 about 10 miles southeast of Lowell, Indiana. Just after reaching their cruising altitude of 2,300 feet, they encounter an object they at first think is a malfunctioning parachute. At one point, the UFO flicks across their nose, veering to its left and missing the aircraft’s right wingtip by no more than 10 feet. It has no exhaust trail. At the instant that it passes, the vortex hits them so hard that the plane’s airframe groans in protest, and the altimeter goes “wacky.” It continues to curve to the left, still accelerating and eventually beginning to climb until it finally disappears into the distant haze.

Event 44569 (90079C3A)

Date: 11/10/1982
Description: At 9:45 p.m. a man walking home in Vegas De Coria, Spain heard a loud wailing sound as he approached his house. He looked around, and noticed a strange black lump on the ground nearby. He walked towards it and as he got near the thing began to grow larger until it became a huge, dark man-like figure that approached him making a strange “swishing” sound. The frightened witness retreated and grabbed two stones from the ground. He then screamed and the figure stopped, turned, and left. He then saw a bright flash and the figure vanished. The figure was described as completely black, almost two-meters tall, and wearing a black cape.

Event 44576 (B10D3AF0)

Date: 11/19/1982
Location: GERMANY, Neuss
Description: (Translated from French) Getting out of the car at around 5 pm to see what the light was on a field, the witness saw an object as big as his living room, 8 to 10 m wide, at 100 m altitude, making no sound. It shone with pulsations as if hundreds of small candles were lit at the same time. The color was metallic silver: in front it was oval and it became a triangle at the back. It seemed to have a rotary movement. The witnesses watched for about 15 minutes, then a beam came out of the right side and pointed towards the couple, then a second: they were scared and ran towards the car. The UFO followed the car for a short time before moving away. They saw something long at the back and the lower part was black in color.

She stopped her car and looked in the direction of the light, and noticed that it was on a circular silvery grayish object that was shining a bright shaft of light onto the field. In the center of the object she could see a large bubble like window illuminated by a soft white light. Inside the window she could see three dark human-like figures moving around, visible from the waist up. The object then moved slowly towards her car flying over it, making a humming sound like a generator. It flew towards the bay and disappeared.

Description: Day. US Army Military Policeman Christopher Grooms is on guard duty in Tower 5 at the Army Special Weapons Depot at Kriegsfeld, a nuclear weapons storage and maintenance site in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. He watches for over 10 minutes a dark triangular-shaped craft fly slowly in a straight line from the southwest, over the valley, over the town of Gerbach, and directly over his watchtower, flying toward the northeast. After approaching for about 7 minutes, it flies directly overhead and Grooms steps out onto the tower landing with M- 16 in hand and looks straight up at the object. It is completely silent and has no markings. As it passes over, the object rotates 360° nose down, pointing directly at him, then rotates back into its original position. Grooms has “the overwhelming feeling that it was acknowledging my presence with this maneuver or was ‘checking me out’ as it did it.”

Event 44583 (62956067)

Date: 11/27/1982
Location: Palatine, IL
Description: Police Commander Michael McDonald was on patrol at 5:00 a.m. when the area around his car was lighted, as if by a phosphorous flare. Looking up he saw a large white UFO with tinges of red at an altitude of 900–1000 ft. Two other officers, alerted by radio, also observed the UFO. The other two cars gave pursuit to the UFO at speeds of between 60–65 mph but the UFO outdistanced them. A few minutes later another UFO was noted by the commander and then the other two officers. It was a diffuse “domed disc” which was seen to emit a beam of light towards the ground. The UFO then disappeared behind the tree line of a forest preserve. The police report includes a tape recording of the radio communications during the sighting.

Date: 11/29/1982
Description: In Botucatu, Sao Paolo State, Brazil Joao Valeiro da Silva was awakened at 1:50 a.m. by indigestion and a noise in his backyard. He opened the door and went outside where a brilliant beam of light fell on him and he was confronted by three beings, each about six feet tall, who were wearing blue, tight-fitting coveralls with holes for their eyes and mouth. They approached him, holding their palms up as if showing they carried no weapons. Despite the friendly gesture the witness fainted. Nobody missed him until early morning when his brother, Simeon, awoke at 5:00 a.m. and discovered him missing and signs of a struggle. His family found Joao lying outside, nude and unconscious, alongside his clothing in a rumpled pile. They rushed him to a hospital where he recovered two hours later. Although Joao did not remember being taken onboard a craft, he found himself seated on a circular seat in what resembled a well-lighted hospital-like operating room, and the same beings who had confronted him at his door appeared again. They wore clothing, which looked as if it were made of rubber material, and talked to each other in an unintelligible language as they led him to a wall bearing an outline of a human form. The beings would look at the drawing and then at him, as if comparing the two. Then they left the room by passing through a wall. A naked female who looked human then entered the room. She had long hair, was deeply tanned or dark skinned, and looked to be about 20 years old. She carried a Y-shaped instrument about a foot long. As she grasped his head and touched his cheek with the device he lost consciousness. He had a mark on his cheek, a scratch on his chest and an arm, and his wristwatch had stopped at 4:20 a.m. An interview with his family disclosed a “sickly smelling oily substance” had covered his nude body. Da Silva also complained that his genitals “were burning”. da Silva had been troubled by poltergeist activity before the abduction, but it ceased. He later had several other adbuction experiences.

They approached him, holding their palms upward as if to show they carried no weapons. Despite the friendly gesture the witness fainted, and nobody missed him until early next morning when his brother Simeon awoke early at 5:00 a.m. and tiptoed into his room to borrow some antacid medicine. He noticed Joao was missing and what looked like signs of a struggle, so he awakened the household. His family found Joao lying outside, nude and unconscious, and alongside him was his clothing in a rumpled pile. They rushed him to hospital where he recovered two hours later.

Event 44623 (F36C4657)

Date: 12/31/1982
Location: USA, Kent, New York
Description: (Translated from French) A few minutes before midnight, Vallor opened a bottle of champagne, then, as he had just moved into their new house, he took a second one to christen the house, as one christens a ship, by throwing it against the outer wall. His wife was not pleased with the initiative, saying that the bottle debris could hurt the children when they were playing outside, so Vallor went out to clean up. As he got up he saw a package of very bright lights in the sky to the south. Some lights were red, others green, others white. He thought they were the lights of a jet in trouble, but the object was moving much too slowly to be an airplane. He called his wife to give him the camcorder, and at the moment his wife came out, the lights were directly above the house. “They seemed to be connected to some kind of structure,” he said, “in the shape of a V or a boomerang. I could hear a faint and deep humming, like the sound of a factory in the distance” If the sound was barely audible, Vallor felt a strong vibration in his chest. He started filming, the object was perhaps 500 feet in altitude, right above the house. Instantly all the colored lights disappeared and in their place appeared a triangular formation of 3 white lights, so intense that everything was lit up like in broad daylight. Five seconds later these white lights disappeared and the package of colored lights replaced them… The film showed faint lights barely visible, five seconds of very bright lights, and again very faint points of light. No structure appeared, the screen was all black for the rest of the image.

Event 44624 (9713450A)

Date: 12/31/1982
Location: USA, Hudson Valley, Kent Cliffs
Description: (Translated from French) Just before midnight Edwin Hansen, a department store clerk, saw the phenomenon as he was driving home. “I thought it was a helicopter that had turned on its headlights to land,” he said. Then he saw several cars pull over to the side of the road and people looking at the phenomenon. As it got closer, the lights began to circle slowly in the air. “It was projecting a beam of white light down to the ground. It wasn’t a helicopter, because even though the craft was right above me, I couldn’t hear any noise.” As he was about to stop for a better view, the object descended and was right in front of his car. All lights off, it must have been about 100 yards above the road. “It was shaped like a boomerang, with little lights running along its wings. There was a part that looked like a rudder, or a tail behind the boomerang part. It was so huge that it filled up the whole sky.” The object then approached the car, and Edwin Hansen started honking frantically, at the same time he held a hand in front of his eyes, just in time to avoid being blinded by the beam of white light that he received full in the face. Hansen felt some kind of communication between him and the object and some kind of voice told him not to be afraid. Suddenly the object veered and disappeared.

Event 44629 (A1A40E5F)

Date: 12/31/1982
Locations: Kent Cliffs, New York; Interstate 84
Description: Around 11:50 p.m. An off-duty police officer and his family see a boomerang-shaped object drift slowly over their home near Kent Cliffs, New York. They can see a solid structure with roughly 15 red, green, and white lights anchored to its underside. It maintains a constant altitude of about 490 feet, moves at a gentle walking pace, and makes only a faint hum. As it passes over, he feels a deep vibration in his chest. At one point, the lights go out and three blinding white lights in the shape of a triangle appear in their place. About 5 seconds later, the colored ones return, and the object drifts out of sight. Warehouse foreman Edwin Hansen, 55, sees what appears to be the same object as he is driving down Interstate 84, just moments later. Hansen, among others, stops on the side of the road after spotting a boomerang-shaped formation of lights that project a bright beam of light to the ground. It is so large that it fills the sky in front of him, and it makes slow, tight circles in the air. Just as he thinks he’d like to get a closer look, the object moves in his direction. He panics as it approaches, but then hears a voice in his head that tells him not to be afraid. At the same time, the object turns away and the beam goes out. Hansen says that he “felt thoughts that weren’t [his] own,” and believes that he has received a telepathic communication from the UFO.

Event 44631 (50609D37)

Date: 1983
Location: Australia, New Zealand.
Description: (Translated from French) A Chinese woman wakes up in the middle of the night due to a terrible heat and she hears the voices of three men. Later she remembers passing through a door into a saucer. There were 6 non-human but very “male” entities who undressed her. Then she finds herself back in her own bed. [Note from vog: What is she complaining about? It’s always the same ones who have exotic encounters!]

Event 44632 (7FD8CF49)

Date: 1983
Location: USA, Hudson Valley, New York
Description: (Translated from French) One of the most famous hoaxes is that of the Hudson Valley observations. From 1983 to 1987, thousands of people in the valley observed a boomerang-shaped craft, between 200 and 1000 feet (80 to more than 300m) long. The ship was signaled by multicolored flashing lights. In 1984, “Discover Magazine” revealed the truth, revealing that it was a giant prank set up by the “Stormville Flyers,” associations of pilots of small single and two-seater planes. They had attached multicolored lights (like for New Year’s Eve decorations) between their machines. On a signal, they turned off the lights, making the “ship” disappear.

Date: 1983
Description: Since 1966, some 6,700 Ummo communications have been received. The early ones are written in Spanish, but over time they are composed in French, though certain grammar and punctuation oddities indicate that Spanish, not French, is the writers’ first language. Other analyses indicate a British origin.

Event 44639 (B0AE836B)

Date: 1983
Description: Col. John B. Alexander and the US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) analyzes the “Hutchison Effect,” a purported method to generate antigravity and materials cloaking. The group included Pharos Technologies, Alexis Pezarro, John Hutchison, George Hathaway, Alexander, two scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory and representatives from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Army R&D.

Reported effects included the deformation of a molybdenum rod, transmutation of steel into lead, the disappearance of a PVC pipe, time dilation and spontaneous levitation of objects around the test laboratory. Hutchison states Boeing and McDonnell Douglas invested in similar experiments as well.

Note: It is possible the Hutchison effect was accidentally tapping into quantum vacuum energy, or the zero point energy field. Uncontrolled, this energy could be used as a weapon; controlled, it could be a stable power source.

Note: Hathaway was one of the scientists tasked with writing a Defense Intelligence Reference Document for the 2009 AAWSAP/AATIP program.

https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/the-advanced-aviation-threat-identification-program-aatip-dird-report-research/

Note: The head of INSCOM at the time was Gen. Albert Stubblebine, who utilized the Monroe Institute to train his officers in ways to improve their psychic performance. In 1984, Maj. Gen. Harry Soyster replaces Stubblebine, a former VP of Intelligence Systems at BDM Intl. and
eventual Chairman of Psi-Tech (in 1992). BDM Intl. hosted the ATP Group meetings to determine UAP R&D and reverse engineering opportunities in 1985.

Description: CAUS director and attorney Peter Gersten has two meetings with Richard Doty in New Mexico. During the first meeting, with Bill Moore in attendance, Doty is guarded in his comments. At the second meeting with Gersten alone, he speaks openly about the 1977 Ellsworth AFB “incident” that he claims AFOSI and the FBI are investigating. He tells Gersten that the US government knows why UFOs appear in certain places and that “beyond a doubt they’re extraterrestrial” and come from 50 light years away. He mentions Project Aquarius, which he says is the government’s top-secret involvement in communications with aliens. He speaks of documents that tell of agreements between the US government and extraterrestrials under which the aliens are free to conduct animal mutilations and land at a certain base, in exchange for information about advanced UFO technology.

Soon the object is joined by two US Air Force jets from Incirlik Air Base. One of the jets flies in tight circles around the UFO, which dwarfs it in size and is described as a disc with a dome on the underside. The object accelerates and disappears over the Mediterranean Sea with the jets in pursuit. Only one jet returns to base, although the other could have been lost during an unrelated search-and-rescue mission.

Description: (Translated from French) Monique O’Driscoll and her 17-year-old daughter observed an object with several (about fifty) lights, shaped like a boomerang and silently passing vertically (at the level of the tree tops), which made her think of a bridge. There were heavy metal mesh parts with tubular parts here and there. (The object stopped above the frozen lake, and its red and blue lights were reflected on the ice … (…) The two women finally stopped near the Nandick house, who were shocked to see the lights in the sky and did not dare to leave the house. (…) At the same moment Herbert Proudfoot and two friends in a car left the highway 84 in Danburry, when they saw the lights. Proudfoot stopped the vehicle to be able to observe better. The lower part was black and resembled the engine of the movie “Close Encounter of the Third Kind” and despite being only 1000 feet high, no sound from the object was heard …) (VOB 1 - SOBEPS 1991, p. 298) and for the parts between parentheses:

Date: 3/10/1983
Location: FRANCE, in Yonne
Description: (Translated from French) At 8:00 PM, at the end of her work, Brigitte returned home in her car. “I saw, at the entrance of a wood, a light coming in the opposite direction that I identified as the headlight of a one-eyed car. I put my headlights in code and at the moment of crossing this light, it divided into many small, very bright but not dazzling balls. At that moment I had the impression of crossing a very bright zone. I had the reflex to brake, but my brakes did not respond. During this crossing (…) I had no sensation of rolling of my car. At that moment an obsession thought me: “they must not take me without Georges (my husband) and the children.” (…) It happened very quickly, in a few seconds at most. Then I saw in my rearview mirror the small bright balls gathering behind the car to form only one, larger, which moved away very quickly. Then, looking at the road, I noticed that I was parked on the right side, in the grass, just in front of the road sign of the entrance of the village of V… In a state of intense anxiety I then got out of the vehicle, I noticed that the body was hot, as well as the hood, as if I had parked for several hours under a scorching sun. (…)”

Description: (Translated from French) In the evening of March 17, Dennis Sant, judge of Putnam County, was inside his home when he saw, along with his son and two daughters, an enormous triangular platform flying over his property. He would later compare this flying fortress to a city in the sky at 30 m from the ground and with a dimension greater than 100 m. The object flew close to his land in absolute silence and projected a powerful beam to the ground, which seemed to scan the surroundings. The observation time was estimated between ten and twenty minutes. Then slowly the object moved away without making any noise. (Jean THOMAS: “Synthèse Ovni”, ed. Louise Couteau, 1999, p. 212) and for the account of other witnesses from the neighborhood:

Description: 10:00 p.m. A woman hospital employee is driving to work near New London, Connecticut, when she sees a light flick by quickly in the sky ahead. It stops above the treetops and shines a searchlight-like beam down on the woods. She pulls over to watch. Abruptly the object moves directly in front of her. There is no other traffic, although the road is usually busy. The object is round and has blue, yellow, red, and white lights flickering in a circle. She blacks out for a short time and finds that the engine, lights, and radio have been shut off. The window has been rolled down. The car stalls when she tries to start it, but the engine finally catches and she drives to work, where she arrives uncharacteristically late at 11:05.

Event 44699 (5D8AB312)

Date: 3/23/1983
Description: In what later becomes known as his “Star Wars” speech, President Ronald Reagan announces his plans to develop an anti-missile capability to counter the threat of Soviet ballistic missiles and to make these nuclear weapons “impotent and obsolete.” This paves the way for a Strategic Defense Initiative as an alternative to a proliferation of missiles under the concept of mutual assured destruction. SDI is derisively nicknamed by Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) as “Star Wars,” after the 1977 film by George Lucas. By the early 1990s, with the Cold War ending and nuclear arsenals rapidly reduced, political support for SDI collapses. SDI officially ends in 1993, when the administration of President Bill Clinton redirects the efforts towards theatre ballistic missiles and renames the agency the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization. BMDO is renamed the Missile Defense Agency in 2002.

Description: (Translated from French) For two and a half hours, hundreds of people saw objects in the shape of a boomerang. "I saw a beam of very bright white light coming from the center of the object and inside there was a small reddish object that broke away from the beam and flew very quickly towards the north. Then the beam went out. “The object was triangular and had lights all around it.” “The object lit up two spotlights that seemed to be looking for something on the surface of the pond; then I could hear a very faint noise”. “It was bigger than a football field”. etc… (VOB 1 - SOBEPS 1991, p. 298, 299) and for other details and other witnesses:

Event 44714 (81834997)

Location: Carmel, New York
Description: 8:00 p.m. Four persons in Carmel, New York, see a half-circle of red and white lights and the vague outline of a larger object to which they are attached. The lights are hovering above trees several hundred yards away. They drift to the east and are lost to view, but almost immediately a family living a quarter mile away sees them drift into view. Through binoculars they can see a “huge object” with a dull-green metallic color connecting the lights. When the UFO turns slightly, they see it has a V shape. At that moment a brilliant beam of white light shoots down from the center of the object, and in it a small reddish object descends then shoots off “very, very fast toward the north.” The beam is shut off and the object turns and heads slowly east.

Event 44715 (66C8F6F6)

Date: 3/24/1983
Locations: Yorktown, New York; Millwood; New Castle; Taconic Highway; Putnam County; Brewster, New York
Description: 8:30 p.m. Police officers in Yorktown, New York, say that their switchboard is flooded with calls reporting a large, boomerang-shaped UFO with red, blue, and green lights. Police in the nearby villages of Millwood and New Castle receive a flood of calls as well, describing an object as large as a football field. William Hele, a meteorologist for the National Weather Corporation, sees an asymmetrical V-shaped object about 1,300 feet long, with 6–7 lights as he is driving south on the Taconic Highway. The object descends from about 2,000 to 980 feet altitude and slows as it approaches. Hele realizes that the lights are all changing colors at different times, as if lit by a rotating prism within the structure. Suddenly, all the lights go out, leaving nothing in their place, as if whatever object was supporting them has simply disappeared. The lights reappear 30–40 seconds later, and a few seconds after that, the object turns to the north and flies away, as the lights change to a slime green. At the same time, people 15 miles north in Putnam County see a smaller object exhibiting similar behavior. Ruth Holtsman describes a silent object that hangs motionless in the sky. While it is in view, a driver pulls up and stops almost directly underneath it. The lights start to flash in a wild sequence up and down its “wings.” The driver jumps into his car and speeds away. Then the UFO approaches Holtsman’s car, which is bathed in a blinding white light as it speeds under the boomerang. John Miller sees the object hovering above a pond near his home in Brewster, New York. It is aiming two very bright searchlight beams over the surface of the water. He hears a faint whooshing sound.

Event 44716 (6561F2C6)

Date: 3/24/1983
Locations: ski-resort restaurant near Stormville, New York; Interstate 84
Description: 8:45 p.m. Several dozen diners at a ski-resort restaurant near Stormville, New York, see white lights in a boomerang shape hovering over a utility pole 600 feet away. Three other people driving near the pole stop by it. The driver, a corrections officer, gets out and studies the object about 200 feet above him. It is silent, and the structure that holds the lights is dark and nonreflective. After watching it for 20 minutes, he heads back to his jeep, at which time the UFO moves down the road. He follows it to Interstate 84 and all the lights go out, allowing him to see the boomerang shape. The lights come back on and he follows the object for more than an hour, clocking it speed at 20 mph.

Date: 3/26/1983
Location: USA, Mahopac (New York)
Description: (Translated from French) Albert Sylbert, a physics professor from White Plains (N.Y.), was driving home with his wife and two children after a bowling evening. It was around 10:30 pm. “As we approached our street,” said Sylbert, “we all saw a V-shaped formation of lights. I stopped at a clear spot to get a better look at the phenomenon. I was the only one out of the car, and this thing was coming straight at us. It seemed to be about 25 feet above the trees, and it was still descending while flying at a speed of about 40 mph. As it got closer, it descended another ten feet while coming straight at me, about 300 feet away. I asked for silence in the car and I could hear a muffled engine sound, but the sound of an engine nonetheless. A bit scared by the approach of this craft, I went back into the car, and distracted for a moment from the object, it had made a very tight turn and was flying in the opposite direction. In the car everyone was screaming, and I drove like crazy to get home to get my binoculars.” Sylbert is convinced that someone was playing a prank. He saw no mass behind the lights of the humming object. He supposes that the object was painted in a black night color to deceive the observers.

Event 44741 (A9C56317)

Date: 4/9/1983
Locations: Albuquerque, New Mexico; Kirtland AFB; Holloman AFB; Ellsworth landing; Roswell
Description: Linda Moulton Howe flies to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to interview Sgt. Richard Doty for an HBO series she is working on, UFOs: The ET Factor, but Doty does not show. She calls Jerry Miller, chief of reality weapons testing at Kirtland AFB, whom she knows from an earlier conversation about Paul Bennewitz’s claims. Miller drives her to his home and calls Doty, who arrives promptly. Doty’s attitude is defiant and nervous, but Howe asks him about the alleged 1971 Holloman AFB landing. Doty says Robert Emenegger got the date wrong and that it was actually April 25, 1964, shortly after the Socorro landing. Transferring to his office at Kirtland, Doty is reluctant to talk about the 1977 Ellsworth landing. He shows her a bogus, undated document, A Briefing Paper for the President of the United States on the Subject of Unidentified Flying Vehicles. The document lists UFO crash/retrievals and states that UFOs are piloted by extraterrestrials from a nearby solar system and have been on earth for many thousands of years. Through genetic manipulation, they have influenced the course of human evolution and helped shape our religious beliefs. Roswell and the 1949 living alien are mentioned, as well as Projects Snowbird (retroengineering a crashed UFO), Aquarius (umbrella project involving all ET contacts), Sigma (an ongoing electronic communications effort with aliens), and the defunct Garnet (investigation of ETs on human evolution). Doty promises Howe thousands of feet of film of crashed discs, bodies, EBE-1, and the Holloman landing for her documentary. He says that a similar release of data through Emenegger and Allan Sandler was halted because “political conditions were not right.” When she tells her HBO contacts about this, they ask her to secure a letter of intent from the US government with a legally binding commitment to secure the promised film footage. HBO wants the film, but Doty now stalls. In June, Doty tells her he is officially off the project. Further contacts up to March 1984 are fewer. In 2008, Doty claims that the intelligence community targeted Howe to find out who her inside sources were.

Date: 4/26/1983
End date: 4/27/1983
Locations: Nuremberg, Germany; Eastern Europe
Description: Day. For two days, a UFO is seen above Nuremberg, Germany. Amateur astronomer Walter Schwarz takes a photo that apparently shows a balloon. A local radio station hires a Lear jet to approach it, reaching 12,300 feet, but it is still too far away to identify it. Eckard Pohl, the astronomer at the Nuremberg Observatory, tracks it and says that it looks like a deformed pyramid with a pointed top and estimates it is flying at an altitude of 14.3 miles. The object is later identified as a balloon launched from eastern Europe.

End date: 5/2/1983
Locations: Husnesfjorden, Hordaland, Norway; Leirvik on Stord island; Selbjørnfjord; Halsenøy; Skåneviksfjorden; Høylandssundet
Description: Divers see an object like a submarine conning tower in Husnesfjorden, Hordaland, Norway. By 1:00 p.m., a search team from Norwegian Defense is at the site, consisting of the corvette KNM Sleipner, two submarines, and one Orion aircraft equipped with antisubmarine weapons. The next day the KNM Oslo and two more frigates join the search. At 4:55 p.m., the Oslo has a first sonar contact south of Leirvik on Stord island. At 5:21 p.m., it fires a Terne rocket as a warning. On April 29, a possible sonar contact is recorded in Selbjørnfjord. On the afternoon of April 30, the Oslo, after another sonar contact, fires a Terne rocket and drops a mine. Five minutes later it launches four more rockets, but then the sonar contact is lost. Around 4:00 p.m., five Terne rockets are fired at nearby Halsenøy. Near midnight, a sonar contact south of Leirvik results in another rocket firing. On May 1, at 4:20 p.m., another sonar contact takes place and six Terne rockets are fired. They hit the water and plunge deep before detonating. Immediately afterward, an Orion aircraft drops a mine at the same spot in Skåneviksfjorden. At 5:20 p.m., the Oslo again attacks with six rockets. Five minutes later it launches four more rockets, and the sonar contact is lost. At 8:30 p.m., an Orion aircraft has the last sonar contact. The aircraft drops mines at the entrance to the Høylandssundet. On May 2, mines are dropped in the Selbjørnfjord.

Event 44763 (30DBFEFC)

Date: 5/4/1983
Description: (Translated from French) Conversation between Jean-Pierre Deloux, journalist, a military radar operator and his supervisor: Question : Have you ever seen a UFO? Operator : Of course, and very often. Question : On average, how many monthly observations? Operator: Personally, around a good ten, or even a bit more. Question : Is it huge? Operator: Incredible! And rest assured that we check what’s happening in the sky before concluding to an unidentified object. Question: What do you mean by that? Operator: The same as you: an Unidentified Flying Object, UFO for short. Just like any plane, the UFO is visible on the radar. Question : What happens then? Operator: Nothing, I’m looking at the type next to me. He looks back at me and glances at my screen. He looks back at me again. We look at the supervisor… Supervisor: And I’m watching my two operators. I’m looking at the screen, and I’m not saying anything. I’m waiting for the hypothetical target to disappear. Sometimes, it seems to stay indefinitely. Question : What does that mean…? Supervisor: Several hours. Up to ten hours. It’s long, very long, like when you’re waiting for a shell to explode. I know it’s definitely a UFO. No mistake possible. But I’m not saying anything. Operator: He says nothing. Nobody says anything. We all know it’s a UFO, but officially, it doesn’t exist. Supervisor: We don’t talk about these things. It’s pointless. Question : But are you talking to a journalist?Supervisor : Even if we don’t know what it is, it needs to be known. Question : If the UFO intrudes, how long before you alert your superior? Supervisor : If it is stationary, near the base. After 3 minutes. Question : Should we send out the hunt, a patrol? Supervisor : Sometimes 2 reconnaissance planes: one to film it, the second to film its friend and the UFO. Question : What becomes of these films? Supervisor : Nothing. They are classified as top secret. So they don’t exist… (May 4)

Locations: Varzi, Pavia, Italy; alfalfa field
Description: 5:00 a.m. Retired restaurant manager Mario Claretto wakes up because his dogs are barking outside his home at Varzi, Pavia, Italy. He sees a shining object with an orange headlight on a hill across the road from his house. It is hovering low above an alfalfa field. Its upper portion is slowly rotating, showing a silver section, a dark section, then the orange light. After finishing some work in the kitchen, Claretto goes outside for a closer look. He sees another person walking toward the object; after approaching very near, the person runs away, escaping down the road. Claretto points the object out to a neighbor, Bruno Stafforini, who has also woken up because of the dogs. The UFO rises after skimming the grass for a few feet, its dome recedes, and it emits a vapor. It seems to change its form to cigar-shaped. Suddenly it speeds off to the south-southwest.

Event 44820 (FDB303EE)

Date: 7/1983
Location: FRANCE, Marseille
Description: (Translated from French) Taxi driver Benoit went to pick up the fortune teller Edmonde-Isis Athéna in the suburbs and headed towards the city center. Around 8:30 pm he descended the Rue de la Grande Armée, grumbling a bit, as for a long time now a small Peugeot 104 had been following him too closely. At the bottom of the Rue de la Grande Armée he stopped at the red light, the following car stopped next to him. He turned his head to scold it, but stayed silent, petrified with fear: at the wheel was a woman appearing to be 30 to 35 years old, with an olive to dark green complexion, wild hair with dominant brown, white and yellow strands. She was hideous, her features as if misaligned, like a human caricature, her green eyes like luminous. He asked Edmonde if she saw what he saw? She confirmed, emphasizing the details of a frightening ugliness that had nothing to do with the clownish makeup of a punk. Both of them then became aware of an inexplicable anomaly: in this neighborhood at the top of the Canebière (…) a mineral silence reigned. It was deserted, with a muffled, oppressive silence. The light turned green (…) and Benoit’s CX jumped forward but seemed not to touch the ground. (…) everything returned to normal on the Rue Alphonse-Thiers. (…)

section of their backyard has turned brown, a circular area about 8 feet in diameter. She contacts Budd Hopkins, who speaks with Debbie and her family and uncovers a pattern of events that have affected them for years. It appears that Debbie, her mother, and two of her children have been abducted at different points of their lives. Debbie and her mother have identical scars on their lower legs from apparent childhood abductions, and Hopkins believes that Debbie and her son have implants inserted near their brains, one through the nasal cavity and another through the ear. Hopkins conducts numerous hypnotic regression sessions, revealing apparent pregnancies induced by aliens.

Event 44833 (547EB71B)

Date: 7/12/1983
Locations: southeast of Danbury, Connecticut; Candlewood Lake north of Danbury
Description: 9:30 p.m. A police officer answers a call at a location southeast of Danbury, Connecticut, where several people are standing outside looking at a circular pattern of lights that are flashing red, blue, and green. The lights appear to be attached to a silent object 300 feet in diameter and less than 500 feet in altitude. The officer shines a spotlight on it, and the object projects a brilliant flash of white light downward. It then moves quickly to the north and is lost behind trees. At 10:55 p.m., Danbury Police Chief Nelson Macedo, his brother-in-law Charles Yacuzzi, his son Michael, and retired policeman Jim Lucksky are boating on Candlewood Lake north of Danbury. They notice a circular gray object silently hovering high in the sky. 20–30 bright blue, red, orange, and green lights moving in a circular pattern are visible on the object. The men turn off the boat lights and the object shuts off its own lights. After several minutes, Yacuzzi turns the lights on again, and the UFO switches on bright lights and moves off behind the mountains.

Date: 7/22/1983
Locations: Melton, Melbourne, Victoria; Melton Regional Shopping Centre; Toolern Vale stables; Rockbank Receiving Station; Rockbank; Sydenham; Diggers Rest
Description: 12:40 a.m. Police constables Raymond Ellens and Peter Ferguson are on car patrol east of Melton, Melbourne, Victoria, when they see a bright, stationary light over the center of the town. As they approach, they discern that it is composed of two lights. The object turns west and hovers about 200 feet above the Melton Regional Shopping Centre. Soon the object flies off to the southeast, making a high-pitched humming sound. After rising to about 500 feet, the UFO moves off to the north and is lost to sight. The UFO is picked up on radar at Tullamarine Air Traffic Control in Melbourne. The constables see it again at 2:40 a.m. when it appears to be on the ground at the rear of the Toolern Vale stables (they inspect the paddock but find no traces), then it is lost to view until 4:30 a.m. when they are again at the shopping mall. At some point police Sgt. Barry Harman and Chief Inspector Hickman also see the UFO above the shopping center. The constables follow the object, this time with more lights visible. Between their position and the object is the Australian Army Rockbank Receiving Station, and it seems to be headed directly toward the antenna array. Before reaching it, the object turns and arcs again to the north. Ellens and Ferguson lose sight of it at about 6:00 a.m. Their written report states that over time the UFO flew in a triangular pattern bounded by Melton, Rockbank, Sydenham, and Diggers Rest in a counterclockwise path between 200 and 1,600 feet in altitude. The Australian Signal Intelligence facility at Rockbank is alerted that its security has been breached.

Event 44858 (8C94EFA5)

Date: 8/3/1983
Location: LATVIA, Jurmala/Riga
Description: (Translated from French) Around 11pm, thousands of people were walking along the beach while concerts were playing. Suddenly, at least 60 bright lights descended from the sky to form a pyramid shape in the air, then a cigar shape, then a boomerang shape. The spectacle lasted 55 minutes, and then suddenly the lights disappeared, it was over. Among the spectators were musician Nickolai Schevtchenko (31 years old) and Riga Ballet dancer Normund Konrad Harris (26 years old). The latter already had contacts with extraterrestrials who answered his questions. Nickolai thus followed a few sessions with Normund and learned that the UFOs come from the Feta system, they are called “the children of Janos” and their spiritual leader is called Janos.

Event 44873 (F2D1ABD0)

Date: 8/12/1983
Location: ENGLAND, Aldershot (Hampshire)
Description: (Translated from French) Alfred Burtoo (77 years old) accompanied by his dog, had settled by the side of the Bassingstoke Canal, not far from an army barracks; in order to fish there all night. He heard a nearby clock strike 1 o’clock and prepared to drink a cup of tea from his Thermos bottle. Burtoo saw a bright light descend from what he initially took to be an army helicopter. It landed on the towpath of the canal at some distance and the light went out.

Within a few minutes he was approached by two beings measuring 1.5 meters in height, wearing greenish suits and visors on their faces. His dog, on the defensive, growled at them. They gestured for him to follow them and he complied (“Having 77 years, I had little left to lose” Burtoo would explain later). The trio arrived at a rounded object protruding from the towpath overlooking the canal and Burtoo bent down to cross its threshold. Once inside the craft he was asked his age and was asked in a shaky English to stand under an amber light, which he did. After a few minutes one of the extraterrestrials said to him: “You can go now. You are too old and too infirm to serve our purpose”. When he returned to his fishing rod, his dog was behaving normally, but his tea was cold. Shortly afterwards he saw the light of the UFO rise into the sky and then speed away at a dizzying speed. It was about two in the morning.

Date: 8/12/1983
Locations: Maraponga neighborhood of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil; Lagoa da Maraponga; Cavan poles factory; Uruoca, Ceará, Brazil
Description: 11:10 p.m. In the Maraponga neighborhood of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, João de Lira Pessoa Neto is riding his motorcycle with his friend Plínio Couto de Alencar Júnior to a party. The cycle breaks down, so they push it home and head back on foot to the party. They pass the train tracks and the Cavan poles factory, where they notice that a transformer that always buzzes is silent. Stray dogs do not bark, and the lights on the poles are blinking intermittently. A strong light blinks near them and they see a disc-shaped object about 325 feet above the Lagoa da Maraponga, its shape reflected in the dark water. The object moves, and the two witnesses run off. Party hosts Roberto de Lira Pessoa Neto and his wife Rejane, Rejane’s sister, and a sailor named Cal are intrigued and decide to return to the site together. They look around and see the UFO landing on the lake shore. The disc has large round windows and a brightly lit interior. Inside they see human-looking beings moving about and looking out the windows. Roberto sees three humanoid figures beside the UFO. They seem to be covered in a plastic cloak and have a wobbling gait. Plínio thinks the object disappears and reappears like a mirage. The witnesses begin running away when another similar UFO appears above them and causes a gale. It disappears, and everything returns to normal, with dogs barking and the transformer buzzing. Later at home, João has a strong urge to return to the scene. The object is still there, and he has a compulsion to meet the occupants. He suddenly gets dizzy and nauseous and falls to the ground unconscious. He revives 2 hours later and finds himself in a soccer field and cannot remember how he got there. He goes home, but his behavior changes, becoming ruder. On May 21, 1989, João drowns under mysterious circumstances in a lagoon in Uruoca, Ceará, Brazil.

Event 44901 (860C5108)

Date: Early 9/1983
Location: FRANCE, Champeaux (Dordogne)
Description: (Translated from French) First week of September. Around 7 o’clock in the morning, Mr. Puyrabaud, 53 years old, left for the woods next to the hamlet of Mareuil in search of mushrooms. (Note: In France, one must be careful when looking for mushrooms, these events often happen…) Upon arriving in a clearing, he was surprised to see an ovoid craft resting on three legs. The craft had the appearance of a smooth metal of silver color. Each end of the tripod was terminated by a sort of rotating ball. Approaching it, he saw an open panel with a staircase unfolded resting on the ground. The top of the apparatus was surmounted by a dome with windows. The witness did not have the opportunity to further study it in detail, as the panel began to close, folding the staircase with it. The junction was so perfect that it was no longer possible to distinguish the opening. A strange silence had reigned, but a faint humming like that of a small electrical appliance was heard while the craft rose at the same time. Some small lights surrounded the perimeter, somewhat like will-o’-the-wisps. Very quickly, radiations of an intense blue took hold of the ground, preceding the departure of the craft at Mach 5 or Mach 10 or more. Instantly, the place where the object had been placed was covered with frost. An intense cold penetrated Mr. Puyrabaud’s body. Abandoning the picking, he returned home to warm up without succeeding. A doctor was called: nothing could give the witness a little internal heat for about ten days. In short, the witness never felt well again and he died in 1986. (1983, Early September)

Event 44902 (8F96FF8D)

Date: 9/3/1983
Location: coastal lake near Wicie, Poland
Description: Day. Wiesław Machowski, his daughter, and a friend are fishing in a coastal lake near Wicie, Poland. They notice an orange sphere with another object below it and keep their eyes on it for 30 minutes or so. The larger light emits a smaller one that stops and returns to the bigger one; the sequence keeps repeating. When they return to their boarding house, they see it again but much closer to the coast. Machowski grabs a camera and takes three photos that shows the large object looking like a hat standing on its brim, and the object disappears shortly afterward.

Event 44920 (E8781737)

Date: 9/26/1983
Locations: US; Soviet Union
Description: Midnight. The Soviet orbital missile early warning system (SPRN), code-named Oko, reports a single intercontinental ballistic missile launch from the US. Lt. Col. Stanislav Petrov , who is on duty during the incident, correctly dismisses the warning as a computer error when ground early warning radars do not detect any launches. Part of his reasoning is that the system is new and known to have malfunctioned previously; also, a full-scale nuclear attack from the US would involve thousands of simultaneous launches, not a single missile. Later, the system reports four more ICBM launches headed to the Soviet Union, but Petrov again dismisses the reports as false. The investigation that follows reveals that the system indeed has malfunctioned, and false alarms are caused by a rare alignment of sunlight on high-altitude clouds underneath the satellites’ orbits.

Description: The US and a coalition of six Caribbean nations attack the island nation of Grenada. Codenamed Operation Urgent Fury, the intervention results in an American victory in a matter of days. It is triggered by the strife within the People’s Revolutionary Government that results in the house arrest and execution of the previous leader and second Prime Minister of Grenada Maurice Bishop, and the establishment of the Revolutionary Military Council with Hudson Austin as chairman. The invasion results in the appointment of an interim government, followed by democratic elections in 1984, and serves as a tune-up for the US military, which has been out of action for 10 years.

Event 44964 (DC333277)

Date: 10/28/1983
Location: USA, Croton Falls (Hudson River)
Description: (Translated from French) Jim Crooke, a biological chemistry engineer specialized in laser optics for surgery, was returning home to Mahopac (New York). Around 2:15 he was near Croton Falls when he saw bright lights between the trees. These lights were approaching quickly and eventually descended above a small lake used as a water reservoir. The lights went out and the witness saw only a dark triangular shape, stationary about 5 meters above the water. “Then nine red lights lit up on the sides of the triangle. They looked like LED diodes used for digital display. Something came out of the lower part of the object, a red beam of light that seemed to inspect the water, like a probe. Sometimes the object, still silent, projected a “screen” towards the water. And the luminous probe seemed to be behind the screen or inside. If you look through infrared waves, you can see the distortion of the background. It’s exactly like that.” (October 28, 1983)

Event 44966 (CBE0A8EA)

Date: 10/28/1983
Locations: Croton Falls Reservoir; Mahopac, New York
Description: 2:15 a.m. Biomedical engineer Jim Cooke is driving by the Croton Falls Reservoir on his way back to Mahopac, New York, when he sees “aircraft lights” approaching and dropping very fast. Oddly, they seem to hover for a while, then blink out. Cooke gets out of his car, walks toward the shoreline, and spots a triangular object hovering less than 15 feet above the water and 200 feet away. After a few minutes, 9 red lights come on from its sides and a red beam of light from the underside probes the water. The UFO moves to four locations above the reservoir, each time shining the red light on the water and remaining at a steady altitude. Each time a car drives by, its lights go out. Cooke estimates the object is 100 feet long at the base and 30 feet at the apex. After 10–15 minutes, it lifts upward at a 30° angle and disappears.

Locations: Casteau, Belgium; Western Europe
Description: NATO carries out a command post exercise code-named Able Archer 83. Its purpose is to simulate a period of conflict escalation, culminating in the US military attaining a simulated DEFCON 1 coordinated nuclear attack. Coordinated from the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) headquarters in Casteau, Belgium, it involves NATO forces throughout Western Europe. The Soviet leadership is concerned that this could be a ruse for an actual US nuclear strike and moves to a high alert. Historians such as Thomas Blanton, director of the National Security Archive, and Tom Nichols, a professor at the Naval War College, argue that Able Archer 83 brought the world close to a nuclear war.

At that moment, his bicycle stopped. No matter what he did, he was unable to make it move. The being moved towards the witness. As it advanced, it became larger and thinner. It stopped and assumed a strange position, placing its right foot over its left knee, its right hand on its left shoulder and its right arm extended in the air. Having done this, it simply vanished and disappeared on the spot. The witness was so shaken that he refused to speak to anyone about the incident. It was only a year later that he agreed to be interviewed.

Event 44996 (ED042BCC)

Date: 11/28/1983
Location: Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Description: 8:40 p.m. A woman in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, notices a ball of light approaching her. She goes inside to get her boyfriend and two children. They watch the light approach to within 400 feet, where it hovers at treetop level. It appears to be half the size of the house. Three smaller objects come from behind it and travel southeast, apparently landing in a swampy area near a manufacturing plant. The woman and children run toward the object on foot, while the boyfriend jumps in a car to pursue it. At one point he sees the object hovering above a small lake less than 200 feet away. But within seconds it vanishes. All four witnesses later experience eye irritation, and the boyfriend’s face and hands turn red and feel sore.

Description: Dr. Robert I Sarbacher, consultant US Research and Development Board and President and Chairman of the Board, Washington Institute of Technology, in a letter to Dr. William I. Steinman states that Frank Scully’s book (“Behind the Flying Saucers”) story is true and persons definitely involved in operations of recovered saucers were John von Neuman and Dr. Vannever Bush. Also, Dr. Sarbacher thought that Robert Oppenheimer was also involved. Dr. Sarbacher had been invited by President Eisenhower to attend several discussions associated with the reported recoveries, but was unable to attend them. He did receive Special Reports on the recoveries at the Pentagon but was instructed NOT to remove them from his office.

Event 45002 (69B7CB7D)

Date: 11/29/1983
Description: A letter from Robert I Sarbacher, physicist who consulted to the DOD Research and Development Board (RDB) in the 1950s, states he had no direct association with people involved in the “recovery” of UAP, but he believes John von Neuman was “definitely” involved, as was Vannevar Bush and Robert Oppenheimer.

Sarbacher states his work with RDB was limited but he heard “certain materials reported to have come from flying saucer crashes were extremely light and tough,” and were likely analyzed by US laboratories very carefully. Sarbacher also states the “people” operating these machines were also reportedly very lightweight, possible “aliens” constructed like insects here on Earth, according to rumors he heard.

Location: Chile, north of…
Description: (Translated from French) Marisol Espinoza Fica, 22 years old, was driving late at night 1500 km north of Santiago, on a mountain road. Suddenly, she declared, her vehicle was sucked up by a powerful force coming from a round object floating in the air and surrounded by violet lights. The car having been deposited by the craft a few meters away from a ravine and the engine refusing to start, the young woman was forced to make a long walk to get back home. With her father she went to the police station to make a deposition and when they left, both stunned, they observed the disk in the sky again. “An enormous craft” specified the father, overwhelmed.

After about 5 minutes he encounters a white and green object like a bus about 33 feet long and 10 feet high in the road ahead. He stops 100 feet from it, turns off the headlights and engine, and walks toward it. It has 10 squarish windows and is floating just above the ground. A few feet away he begins to feel heat and decides to return to his car. Suddenly a beam of white-red light strikes him and somehow pulls him toward the object. He wakes up inside the UFO and an abduction scenario takes place, compete with sex with a light-haired alien female who says her name is Cabala. She gives him a message warning that continued deployment of nuclear weapons will lead to bad things for Earth. Tasca wakes up around 6:00 a.m. at a different spot from where he had the encounter. A medical examination reveals a strange burn on his ribs and other odd marks on his backbone.

Location: Icacos Trinidad and Tobago
Description: (Translated from French) Time : 0400A – A 70-year old man driving back from his plantation suddenly felt a presence in the passenger side of his vehicle and at the same time he smelled a sweet perfume like fragrance. He looked at the seat and was astonished to see the seat being pressed down as if someone, unseen, was sitting there. Soon an image of a beautiful woman became visible. She wore a beautiful translucent dress and had long black hair. In apparent telepathic communication the woman apparently tried to seduce the elderly man. At this point the elderly witness looked down at the woman’s feet and was stunned to see one normal leg and another leg with goat like hoofs. At this time the terrified witness began screaming at the bizarre entity and ran the vehicle off the road. Glancing to the passenger set he found that the strange entity had vanished.

Only veterinary pathologists, not regular veterinarians, are truly qualified to determine the cause of an animal’s death, they write. They do admit there are some real mutilations of two kinds: copycat incidents where pranksters cut up the bodies of already dead cattle, and ritualistic killings by cult members. The latter incidents occur mostly in Idaho.

Event 45049 (8C54338E)

Date: 1984
End date: 1985
Description: Technical Sgt. John W. Mills III, of the 394th Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Test Maintenance Squadron at Vandenberg AFB, states he was shown a highly classified film of three Minuteman III dummy warheads (Multiple Independently-targeted Reentry Vehicles, MIRVs) in flight during a test at Vandenberg. On the film, a small white object maneuvered near the warheads; two of them disappeared, one of them splashed down at the target site. Mills states contractors at Rockwell Autonetics Division, Space Data Corp, or Lockheed (he wouldn’t specify to protect their identity) showed him the film.

Mills also states he heard secondhand that a similar situation occurred with Peacekeeper missile tests in late 1984 or 1985. Contractors told Mills a light beam coming from space hit three of the five missiles. He did not see the footage because his clearance had been lowered at that point.

Event 45056 (D812C745)

Date: 1/3/1984
Locations: Port Washington, Wisconsin; Lake Michigan
Description: 4:14 a.m. A woman wakes up in her home near Port Washington, Wisconsin, when a bright light shines through the bedroom window. She sees a strange object with three circular lights in a fixed position about 50 feet from the shore of Lake Michigan. The center light, as bright as a searchlight, rotates north, casting an illumination on the water, which is seen to be turbulent. All three lights are rotating clockwise around a 30-foot body. She wakes up her husband, who suggests that it is a Coast Guard helicopter. But the object is completely silent. After a short time, a smaller object also with three lights appears over the first one, hovers a few minutes, then disappears. The searchlight periodically shines directly in the window. The object moves about 20–30 feet then hovers there another 10–15 minutes. At 5:15 a.m., it moves away and disappears to the southeast. The woman goes back to bed, but soon feels a powerful electric shock penetrate her body with a buzzing sound.

Location: I-80 southeast of Cozad, Nebraska
Description: 3:15 a.m. Three people are traveling southeast in a van at mile marker 236 on I-80 southeast of Cozad, Nebraska, when the highway lights up and they see a huge disc as big as a baseball diamond 75–100 feet above and slightly to the right of the road. Bright lights are evenly spaced around the rim, most of them white, but others pink or blue. As the car passes it at a slow speed, they can detect no motion and can hear no sound. They attempt to communicate by Citizens Band radio, but the radio picks up strange interference like an “intermittent bleeping.”

Event 45087 (BA38A4B4)

Date: 1/21/1984
End date: 2/26/1984
Locations: Aspaskjolen mountain; Hersjøen; Litlefjellet, Norway
Description: Project Hessdalen sets up three fieldwork stations, the primary one on Aspaskjolen mountain, and two smaller ones at Hersjøen and Litlefjellet, Norway. This group secures technical assistance from the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment, the University of Oslo, and the University of Bergen. Over the course of one month, investigators see numerous lights, take photos of many of them, and track them instrumentally. On three occasions, lights are seen visually and tracked on radar simultaneously, casting a reflection on the radar screen so strong that a Norwegian defense expert later says that if that is not a solid object, then it must be a “strongly ionized gas.” One of the lights is tracked moving at 19,000 mph. On another occasion, a light under constant visual observation shows up on radar only on every second sweep. In most instances (33 in all), when radar shows something, the eye or a camera sees nothing. On two occasions the researchers direct a laser beam on passing lights. Out of a total of nine times, the lights respond all but once in a curious way, changing from a regular flashing light to a double-flashing light. The total number of sightings in this period is 188, although some may be attributable to passing aircraft. Only four of the photos taken through the special lens grating come out well enough to show light spectra, and only two of these are useful for analysis. Changes in the magnetic field are recorded in 40% of the sightings, but the Geiger counter and infrared viewer prove unhelpful. Researchers categorize the phenomenon into three different types: a white or blue-white flashing light, high in the air; a yellow light with a red light on the top, sometimes flashing; and a slow-moving, yellow or white light that maneuvers, stops for an hour or more, and continues maneuvering.

Event 45185 (7E79BF51)

Locations: Mikha Tskhakaya Airfield south of Senaki, Georgia; Black Sea
Description: A Soviet pilot in a MiG-23 is scrambled to intercept an object flying at supersonic speed from north to south over the Mikha Tskhakaya Airfield south of Senaki, Georgia. The MiG-23, flying at 16,400 feet in full afterburner at Mach 1.2, is unable to close in on the object. By the time the interceptor is approaching the coastline of the Black Sea, it is flying at Mach 1.6. The pilot activates his infrared search and track system when he is 7.5 miles away from the target and sees the largest “bloom” he has ever encountered. By the time he reaches Mach 2, he has to break off due to lack of fuel, never having acquired a visual target.

Event 45186 (7A78ED97)

Date: 3/21/1984
Location: USA, near Woodbury (New York)
Description: (Translated from French) Gordon Gebert (25 years old) was with his truck on the highway 87 near Woodbury around 8 pm. A flash of light in the rearview mirror made him blink several times. “It was still very far away,” he said. “I watched it and the light became more and more intense”. Then he lost sight of it. There was little traffic on the highway at that time. “Five minutes had passed when, looking to my left, I saw this huge thing that was on a collision course with my truck, at a distance of barely 100 yards and losing more and more altitude. It was an object shaped like a boomerang, dark in color, gray or black. The bulk of the mass was behind the lights, and some parts seemed to have depth. I slowed down to 15mph, rolled down the window, to better see this “plane” that I thought belonged to the US Air Force. There was no audible sound (note of vog: but the truck engine was running). It must not have been more than 100 feet in the air and was advancing in concert with the truck. It had the size of a Boeing 747. The lights seemed to rotate in a kind of prism, the purest colors I had ever seen.” He wanted to stop to see better, but thinking that he was practically alone on the highway and that this thing could be hostile, he abstained. The object stayed above the truck for five minutes and Gebert had the feeling of being watched. For a fraction of a second of inattention, the object disappeared, as if it had evaporated in an instant.

I looked up and saw a series of lights arranged in a V or boomerang shape. I stopped the car, the object was hovering less than 600 feet above us. I rolled down the window but I didn’t hear anything. Then the thing glided, not in a motor-driven motion, but floating. We saw the lights move off to the east."

Event 45199 (6DF26959)

Date: 3/25/1984
Location: USA, Croton Falls Reservoir (N.Y.)
Description: (Translated from French) Jack Grimsley, a 33 year old professional photographer, was driving on Route 6 around 8:45 pm when he saw the phenomenon coming from the south. “I saw large, intense white lights, about ten of them, arranged in a boomerang shape. The intensity was so strong that I had to shield my eyes. When they passed over me I saw some kind of dark structure connecting the lights, which were about 500 feet in the air. It was huge. It was flying at the same speed as my car, which was going 30 mph, so I was able to stay directly underneath it for a while.

Then it turned, descended over the trees, and headed towards the Reservoir. I stopped the car and got out with my camcorder. The thing was hovering about 50 feet above the water, about 100 yards from the shore. At this point the lights were blinking different colors, and I could hear a very faint buzzing sound. I filmed for about ten minutes, and when I zoomed in I could make out the dark gray of the structure. The object was about 300 feet long. Then, all of a sudden, the lights went out and the object was gone. I stayed there looking around, but there was nothing to be seen, the object had vanished.” This is when the strangest part happened. “I was walking back to my car, after what had seemed to be a quarter of an hour observation, but when I looked at my watch I had been near the Reservoir for over an hour. I must have been so stunned that I lost track of time.” At home he was able to watch the footage he had taken, and he could hear the sound he had heard during the observation. However, when he took the cassette to his physicist friend to have it edited, there was nothing recorded on the film. (…)

Description: 2:10 a.m. Air traffic control radar at Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados tracks a large group of unknown targets moving at about 100 mph in “loose but distinct formation” 30 miles southeast of the island. Authorities notify Prime Minister Tom Adams, the Barbados Defense Force, and the police commissioner. The BDF is put on Red Alert. By 2:20 a.m., the formation is 14 miles off the coast when two targets veer off to the island’s west side, two others move to the east, while the remainder keep on moving north. Police are deployed to the beaches. At 3:30 a.m., the BDF launches a patrol boat and scrambles a Cessna but does not find anything. Radar is still tracking objects at 4:00 a.m. over the northern part of the island. By 4:10 a.m., they disappear to the west. A temperature inversion is a possible cause.

Description: 10:10 p.m. A woman and her mother are watching TV at a trailer park in Saltfleet, Lincolnshire, England, when they see a dome-shaped object with circle of white lights, a small group of red lights above, and a brilliant white light on top. It is hovering nearby and about 500 feet in the air. More lights turn on and the object begins to revolve. As its speed increases, the colors blend into one another. The object moves away to the south, but over the next hour it circles the trailer park in wide loops that take it several miles out to sea before returning over their heads. It switches a searchlight beam off and on. The woman’s two dogs are looking fearfully at the UFO. At one point the object drops to 100 feet and hovers in absolute silence above the witnesses. The searchlight comes from two headlight beams projecting forward. The UFO has a “smoky glass” dome on top. Dogs are howling for miles around. The object switches off all but four of its lights and climbs vertically before heading out to sea to circle for a few more minutes.

Event 45253 (78FA43EE)

Date: 4/25/1984
Location: Blairgowrie, Scotland
Description: 6:00 p.m. A woman is in her garden at Blairgowrie, Scotland, working on a tapestry when her dog leaps up and runs indoors. A ball of light appears in the air and seems to enter her body. She is blinded for a few seconds but feels calm. A white cloud rises from her head and hovers above some bushes. It blinks twice and climbs into the sky toward a large silvery object shaped like a house key. The cloud moves along the length of the key, flashing and lighting up bits in turn. She calls her son, who arrives just as the UFO sways from side to side and vanishes in a sudden pink flash.

Date: 4/26/1984
Locations: Groom Lake, Nevada; Jackass Flats in Area 25; Tonopah
Description: On a visit to the 6513th Test Squadron, Red Hats at Groom Lake, Nevada, USAF Lt. Gen. Robert M. Bond requests to fly a MiG-23 BN fighter-bomber, a newly acquired supersonic Soviet aircraft flown for testing. Instead of the usual 2 weeks of training, Bond is given a cursory briefing while sitting inside the cockpit with an instructor. Just as he is flying at 40,000 feet and over Mach 2 speed, a hydromechanical inhibitor activates, preventing him from disengaging the afterburner. Bond loses control, makes a distress call, and is killed while ejecting. The MiG-23 crashes on Jackass Flats in Area 25, still contaminated from NERVA rocket testing. Bond’s body is discovered by a USAF sergeant on his way to work, who removes the rank insignia from Bond’s flight suit with a pocketknife before going to get help. The USAF does not confirm or deny that Bond was flying a MiG when he died and states that he was flying “an Air Force specially modified test craft,” but it leaks the information on the MiG testing program to journalist Fred Hoffman. There are fears that the publicity will also lead to the exposure of the F-117 program, still secret and also based at Tonopah, but this does not happen.

Description: 9:45 p.m. Terri West spots an odd light in the sky from her home on Belmont Lane, Stanmore, Greater London, England. At 10:15 p.m., she joins her neighbors Ruth and Bruno Novelli to watch the light, which is moving back and forth and constantly changing colors from blue to green to pink. Soon it emits a large ball of light that shoots toward the ground. The witnesses call the police at 10:22 p.m. A team of police arrives and watches the object for about 2 hours. Police Constable Richard Milthorp says the light is originally at 45° but after 15 minutes it moves up and to the right. He draws a sketch of the object, which is circular in the middle with a dome above and below. It has different colored lights on the top and bottom. One of the officers takes photos, but they do not come out well. Some others chase the UFO by car, but it is already fading from view.

Event 45312 (B5E586DF)

Date: 6/3/1984
Time: daytime
Location: King County, WASHINGTON
Description: No mutilation connection in this particular incident (although animal mutilations have been reported consistently for well over a decade in the area of Snohomish, King & Pierce Counties) - but it is of interest because of the description of the helicopter. Michael D. Hart and three other witnesses were camping near a river in Central King County. They heard a helicopter, then they finally saw it circling low over a dairy farm near North Bend. Through binoculars, the craft was seen to be all black, with no discernible markings whatsoever. The windows appeared tinted to prevent viewing into the cockpit. The witnesses said the chopper was a “Huey”.

Event 45313 (77CFBE2D)

Date: 6/4/1984
Location: USA, Lawrenceburg (New York)
Description: (Translated from French) Fred Ranaudo was camping in the woods. On a small hill he had made a fire, his vehicle was to his right, and he wrapped himself in the sleeping bag to sleep. Around 3:30 he was awakened in the dark night, without a moon. After a while, his eyes having adapted, he was sitting and looking around and heard in the undergrowth the sound of very heavy footsteps. He heard these sounds for a long time before he saw the creature. It was white, walking at a good pace, breathing loudly as if asthmatic, or out of breath after a run. It was 50 to 75 yards away, vertical, close to 9 feet in height. The creature was approaching and had not yet spotted the witness, who was downwind and whose fire had gone out. Suddenly, seeing the human being, the creature jumped, one big and two small jumps. Taken aback, the witness stood up and jumped towards his vehicle. “You know, this thing was very big, very wide, very white and covered in fur,” he said. He saw it disappear into the night and then heard nothing else.

There were two rows of lights and they formed a curved V. It was hovering. The neighbor asked, ‘What kind of plane is that that doesn’t move?’ (…) We all went outside and watched for a few more minutes. Suddenly it moved, sliding along a horizontal line. Then it was behind the trees and we couldn’t see it anymore.” The color of the lights was a pale green.

Event 45323 (8E1D47AD)

Date: 6/14/1984
Location: USA, Peekskill (N.Y.)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 8:30 pm a man was checking the oil level of his engine when he saw an unusual object in the sky. It was triangular and open in the middle. (…) “It wasn’t a “V”, it was a triangle, because it had three sides, and it was flying low. I saw lights all around it spaced two to three feet apart. There was a light at each point. The object itself seemed very thin, like a bridge, you could see through the sides of this thing. The only solid parts were the base and the tip, the center was hollow. There was nothing there. There were like crossbars around it.” The object was slowly passing through the sky and disappeared behind the trees. (…)

Event 45330 (CE6E43D1)

Date: Mid 6/1984
Locations: Mediterranean Sea 20 nautical miles east of Gibraltar; Greece
Description: 4:10 p.m. Seaman Alexander Globa and mate of the watch Sergey Bolotov are beginning their watch on board the Russian tanker Gori in the Mediterranean Sea 20 nautical miles east of Gibraltar. They see what seems to be an airplane with its landing lights on and flying toward them at an altitude of 4,920 feet about 2 miles away. It is shaped like a “frying pan turned upside down” with a shiny, metallic surface. It emits bright, irregular flashes of light. In two minutes it reaches the ship’s position, turns south, and keeps pace with the ship, gyrating for 3 minutes. The object is perfectly round and about 75 feet in diameter. There is a round, black spot on the bottom, and a cylindrical “tailpipe” is seen at the junction of two segments that are rotating in opposite directions. At 4:20 p.m., another ship approaches to the left, and the object flies quickly toward it and hovers above it. Capt. Sokolovsky contacts the vessel, an Egyptian dry cargo ship enroute to Greece, and it confirms the presence of the UFO. After 90 seconds it quickly moves back to the Gori, ascends at an angle of 40°–45°, veers to the right, and eventually disappears. Total duration of the sighting is 12 minutes.

Event 45331 (F56982B8)

Date: 6/15/1984
Description: On a partially cloudy day, at 4:12 p.m., 20 nautical miles east of the Straits of Gibraltar in the Mediteranean Sea the crew of the tanker Gori watched a disc-shaped object maneuver and pace their ship. The 25 meter in diameter disc had a rotating red dome, and a rosy neon glow from what looked like a cylindrical “tailpipe”. The UFO was gleaming with a grayish metallic shine. The lower portion of the craft had a precise round shape, its diameter no more than twenty meters. Around the lower portion of it they also observed “waves” of protuberances on the outside plating.

The base of the object’s body consisted of two semi-discs, the smaller being on top; they slowly revolved in opposing directions. At the circumference of the lower disc Globa saw numerous shining, bright bead-like lights. The seaman’s attention was centered on the bottom portion of the UFO. It looked as if it was completely even and smooth, its color yellow like that of an egg yolk, with three pie-shaped spots, and in the middle of it they discerned a round, nucleus-like stain. At the edge of the UFO’s bottom, which was easily visible, was something that looked like a pipe. It glowed with an unnaturally bright rosy color, like a neon lamp. The top of the middle disc was crowned by a triangular-shaped something. It seemed that it moved in the same direction as the lower disc, but at a much slower pace. Suddenly the UFO jumped up several times, as if moved by an invisible wave. Many lights illuminated its bottom portion. The crew of GORI tried to attract the object’s attention using a signal projector. By this time Captain Sokolovky was on the deck with his men. He and his Second-in-Command watched the object intensely. However, the UFO appeared to be distracted by another ship, approaching at the port side. It was an Arab dry cargo ship, on its way to Greece. The Arabs confirmed that the object hovered over their ship. A minute and a half later the object changed its flight’s trajectory, listed to the right, gained speed and ascended rapidly. The Soviet seamen observed that when it rose through the clouds, appearing and disappearing again, it would occasional shine in the sun’s rays. The craft then flared up, like a spark, and was gone instantly.

Description: 9:30 p.m. Investigators Dick Ruhl and Richie Petracca are on Interstate 84 in Dutchess County, New York, when they see a brilliant white wedge-shaped object floating and turning in the sky. The lights suddenly turn red, and as the object continues to turn, they see red, green-blue, and white lights. They stop and get binoculars out, then notice another object on the left. Both objects glide slowly and maneuver, constantly changing from white as they approach, and to red as they turn away. They finally form up into a boomerang shape. Ruhl and Petracca suspect they are seeing the “Stormville pilots,” so they drive to the Stormville airport. After waiting in the snack bar a short time, people see lights in the direction of the Green Haven Correctional Facility. It turns out they are six Cessna Skyhawks, apparently with mufflers on the engines, and they land one by one on a nearby runway. Ruhl photographs the serial number of one of the planes, N76106.

Event 45357 (93E4C07C)

Date: 7/12/1984
Location: USA, Bethel
Description: (Translated from French) In the evening, around 10:30 PM, Don Duhart, a doctor of science, was with a couple when he saw the phenomenon. The arrangement of the lights gave him a feeling of déjà vu. He supposes that it was simply a large balloon carrying external lights. “The weather was very calm that evening, and when the lights went out, I clearly saw the shape, that of a rugby ball, at 1500 to 2000 feet in the air,” he said. “You could see ropes or wires holding the lights. The object floated, and did not make any erratic movements at all.” In his opinion, the object was made of plastic on a light structure, somewhat resembling a zeppelin, all inflated with helium, carrying a light electric motor that was remotely controlled from the ground.

He gives up the chase, but the object descends and he approaches it again, failing to reach it as it retreats.

Event 45368 (E3A85322)

Date: 7/15/1984
Description: northwest of Detroit, Maine - Carol Cloukey and Robert White were driving on their way to Pittsfield, Maine for dinner. At 9:05 p.m., after traveling about a mile they rounded a bend and Carol, who was driving, was the first to see a bright yellowish-orange light. Suddenly the light made a perfect vertical drop in mid-air. They sped up to get ahead of the object, but the light dropped lower again, and was now dead center above the car windshield. Carol stopped and slammed the car into reverse. After backing up about 50 feet they saw that the object was alongside of them on the left side of the car and about 150 off the ground. The glow had subsided, and in the evening twilight it appeared grayish in color, triangular shaped, and larger than a 747 aircraft. It had 4 red lights and 1 or 2 brighter white lights. It made no sound. Robert opened his door to see if it was possible to make a 180-degree turn, and he told her to back into the driveway of a farmhouse. The object was now almost directly above them at an approximate altitude of 100 feet. He observed that when they stopped the UFO stopped, and when they moved the UFO moved! It became apparent that “it” did not want to let them go. Robert got out of the car and started to run toward the farmhouse. Carol called to him that another car was coming down the road. The UFO now began to move away slightly, traveling in a northeasterly direction for a distance of a few hundred feet when it suddenly vanished right before their eyes. Robert later expressed wonderment that such a large object could suddenly disappear in such an inexplicable manner. They estimated that the total incident took about two minutes to transpire.

Event 45370 (15310C11)

Date: 7/19/1984
Location: USA, Taconic Parkway-Dutchess (New York)
Description: (Translated from French) The witness was 32 years old and was a programmer in a scientific company that collaborated on sub-assemblies for the Hubble Space Telescope. We will call him Bill. Around 10:30 pm he was leaving the office and driving on I-84 highway. He saw a very bright, circular object suspended in the sky to the north. As soon as he saw the object, it started to move and then Bill noticed there was a large black mass behind the light. As he continued on his route, Bill lost sight of the object. He exited I-84 to take route 52 near Stormville. Meanwhile it was 11 pm and he suddenly saw a large dark object in the fields: he first thought it was a new housing construction and, intrigued, he stopped to look. It looked like a large barn, more tapered on the facades and very smooth. While he was looking at the object, it rose without a sound. This scared Bill, as he was alone on the road. When the object was twice the height of the trees, the car radio emitted noises like when you put a magnetic tape and it turns too slowly. Completely scared, he put his foot down. After several minutes he saw a glow above a hill… when he got closer… the object was there! It was standing 300 feet above the trees and was illuminated by yellow and white bands of light. He stopped, turned off the engine and the lights… in the hope that this “thing” wouldn’t see him. The object also turned off its lights and he saw the large dark triangular shape come and pass over the car. He only saw its belly which looked just like a destroyer from the “Star Wars” movies. Under the object he saw dark round spots, like tunnel entrances. In these tunnels there was a kind of white stroboscopic light. He didn’t hear any sound. It seemed to be about 300 feet long. Then something strange happened: Bill had seen the object come over the car, he didn’t see it leave. All he knows is that afterwards he was 200 m from the place where he saw the object around 11:30 pm. It was now 12:15 am. When he got home his wife was angry at his delay. That night he woke up and heard himself screaming: “Go away!” His wife confirms that he has been having such nightmares at least twice a week. He was so scared of having to come home at night again that he asked his boss for a change of schedule. Under hypnosis he remembered seeing entities on the road, feeling paralyzed and that these entities told him: “Don’t be afraid, we have selected you. We need you.” etc…

Event 45381 (1D8537A8)

Date: 7/24/1984
Locations: Indian Point Nuclear Plant at Buchanan, New York; Camp Smith; Peekskill
Description: 9:00 p.m. Security police at Indian Point Nuclear Plant at Buchanan, New York, again see a UFO with a semicircle of lights. The lights first flash yellow, then white, then blue. Far to the rear is a blinking red light. The dark mass behind the lights blocks out the stars as it approaches steadily. The plant’s movement-detecting sensors and alarm systems fail, as does the computer responsible for security and communications. By the time it gets to 500 feet away, the police can see an ice-cream-cone-shape and a solid body the length of three football fields. As it passes over the Unit 3 reactor, at one point getting as close as 30 feet, it is moving so slowly that the police can keep up with it by walking. An officer inside the plant watching security monitors is instructed to film the object using a camera atop a 95-foot pole; the camera has to pan almost 180° to cover the entire length of the object. One officer notices two hollow spheres or portals in the bottom. The UFO takes 5 minutes to pass over them. By the time the security police call Camp Smith, a National Guard base 10 miles away, and ask for an armed helicopter, the UFO is gone. Many other people in the area also report seeing the UFO over the plant. Police in Peekskill receive quite a few calls that evening. Police Sgt. Hoffman goes out to investigate and sees a giant UFO with more than a dozen white lights in a V formation slowly move toward the power plant. On July 25, the security guard supervisor tells them to forget what happened. Video and audio records of the event are removed, and in the next two days representatives of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission oversee a shakeup of the plant’s security operations.

Date: 7/24/1984
Location: Brewster, New York
Description: 10:20 p.m. Electronics executive Bob Pozzuoli shoots a videotape of a large object with a ring of 6 lights in the sky over Brewster, New York. It moves behind a pine tree then emerges as a string of rotating multicolored lights and a flashing red light in the rear. The video also shows airplanes flying in formation. The tape is analyzed by Lew Allen at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who is apparently unable to explain it adequately.

Description: At 9:00 p.m. a very large boomerang-shaped UFO hovered only 300 feet over an active vent of the Indian Point Nuclear Plant cooling tower for 15 minutes on the Hudson River in Westchester County, New York. Several guards came forward to report the incident, reporting there were a total of eleven witnesses to the UFO at the plant that night, and that the security guards broke out shotguns. A big coverup by government officials was claimed.

Event 45385 (A1C705BC)

Date: 7/24/1984
Description: Security police at Indian Point Nuclear Plant at Buchanan, NY allegedly see a UAP with lights oscillating yellow, white and blue. The plant’s movement sensors and alarm fails, and the computer responsible for security and communications fails. Police report it the length of three football fields and shaped like a cone. It passes directly over Unit 3 reactor for five minutes, and one officer films the object on camera. Over the next two days, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reportedly reassigns the plant’s security operations and video and audio records of the event are removed.

http://www.ufoevidence.org/documents/doc689.htm

Note: The NRC was born out of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) alongside the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) in 1975. ERDA became the Department of Energy (DOE) in 1977. If AEC played a prominent role in early UAP analysis, crash recovery and transportation, key evidence may be split between these successor departments and agencies. The NRC for example was aware of a black triangular UAP over the protected area of Cooper Nuclear Station, NE in the late 1980s, and created an incident file. No formal investigation appears to have been conducted.

Description: 9:00 p.m. Irene Lunn and her daughter are driving near Deer Trail Drive in Mahopac Falls, New York, when they notice triangle-shaped UFO with an unusual L-shaped tailpiece. They stop to observe it more carefully. The object has one red light, one green light, and eight white lights, and is moving south when it makes a sudden 90° turn and slowly moves toward them. They drive the short way home where they retrieve some binoculars. She can clearly see a dark, metallic object, which moves off to a neighbor’s yard and hovers. A rectangular object with white lights in each corner comes into view and moves in front of the first UFO for 5 seconds, then vanishes. The triangular object continues to hover, then silently moves off out of sight.

After 15 minutes, the object is spotted visually. Through a telescope it appears oval, metallic and shiny, and about 9 feet long. During its appearance, the base notices a strong interference on VHF and short wave radios. The target climbs and descends about 7–8 times to altitudes ranging from 6,500 feet to 34 miles as it moves west at speeds up to 7,450 mph, making zigzagging movements and turning at sharp angles. It is under observation for 40 minutes and is lost at a height of 62 miles as it disappears into space at 620 mph.

Description: (Translated from French) At around three in the morning, three men in a fishing boat, two miles from Campo Marino, saw a white light in the water, 500 to 1000 meters away from their position. They thought a submarine was about to emerge. But suddenly a round, grey metallic object came out of the sea vertically, turned 60 or 70 degrees and flew away at a dizzying speed. No sound, no stronger wave, no turbulence.

Event 45432 (BF956E05)

Date: 9/7/1984
Location: USSR, Belarus
Description: (Translated from French) The crews of two Aeroflot planes encountered a UFO in the sky of Belarus. For the plane flying from Tbilissi to Tallinn, this encounter at 04:10 was only a curious event. For the one flying from Leningrad to Tbilissi, the whole affair took a bad turn. The observation was made at 04:50, and the Minsk controller, wanting confirmation, asked them to turn in the direction of the object. The object stopped and sent a very powerful light towards the plane’s cabin. Y. Kabatchnikov received the light full in the face, and the captain on the stomach. Two weeks later the captain was in the hospital, where he would die 13 months later. Kabatchnikov was still able to work for two months, then he became completely disabled. (Note that this last witness is a personal friend of the author). (Boris Chourinov: “The Two Faces of Ufology in Russia” - May 1994 - p. 26) 70 km NE of Minsk (USSR) on 07/09/84 Vladimir Gotsiridze and Y. Kabatchnikov: serious malaise; deterioration of the health of the two men; G died in 11.85; K was dismissed on 01/07/85 for physical incapacity (source OR, page 165).

Event 45435 (27BAB7BD)

Date: 9/7/1984
Locations: Minsk, Belarus; Plesetsk Cosmodrome; Finland
Description: 4:10 a.m. While approaching Minsk, Belarus, the pilots of a Soviet Aeroflot Tu-134 airliner are startled to see a strange, brightly glowing shape that appears to their right and follows their path closely for several minutes. The glowing object changes shape repeatedly, appearing first as rays, then concentric circles, then as a cloud, and finally as an amorphous mass. While copilot Gennady Lazurin sketches the object, Captain Igor Cherkashin contacts air traffic officials, who report that radar shows a strange “double” object, believed to be the airliner and the unidentified object. Years later, reports surface of a second flight crew traveling in the opposite direction who also see the glowing object. At the same time that the pilots in the first craft notice the UFO, a Soviet missile is launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. Lazurin’s sketches of the object closely parallel sketches made by other witnesses at rocket launches, including amateur observers of the Soviet missile launch watching in Finland.

Event 45444 (AB275611)

Date: Fall 1984
Locations: UK Ministry of Defence; RAF Rudloe Manor; MOD Corsham; Bath, England
Description: The UK Ministry of Defence is reorganized, making the group Sec. AS (2a) its main focal point for receiving public UFO reports. Its mission is to “determine whether or not UFOs present a threat to the security and defence of the United Kingdom.” It has no other budget than minor staff costs and its records are unclassified. However, Timothy Good uncovers evidence that the U.K Provost and Security Services at RAF Rudloe Manor [now MOD Corsham] northeast of Bath, England, are conducting more serious and secret UFO investigations. More recent declassified files have revealed that RAF Rudloe Manor was a filter center for UFO reports in the 1950s. The British Police Force’s elite Special Branch in 1997 opens files on two UFO researchers in the UK who are collecting data on the Rudloe Manor operations—Robin Cole and Matthew Williams.

Location: Prata di Principato Ultra, Avellino, Italy
Description: 7:40 a.m. Giuseppe Cocozza goes into his alfalfa field near Prata di Principato Ultra, Avellino, Italy, to get some fodder for his cow. On the beaten-earth path to the field he encounters an entity about 4 feet tall, wearing a blue helmet on its head and carrying a blue box on its back that features tubes running into the helmet and the entity’s back. Its body is covered with long, dark-brown hair, and it appears to be using a T-shaped instrument to explore the ground. There is a wide, aluminum-colored slit around its eyes. After noticing Cocozza, the entity moves toward a clearing among some hazel bushes, emitting small bluish flames from its sides. The witness backtracks and loses sight of it, but sees a UFO ascend at an angle from the bushes, turn, and shoot away toward a mountain range. Cocozza returns with a shotgun and finds some hoof-like footprints and holes left by the strange instrument, as well as landing marks apparently caused by the object.

Date: 10/9/1984
Location: Via della Tessaia in Polcanto, northeast of Florence, Italy
Description: 3:30 a.m. A beam of light coming in through a window wakes up Isidoro Ferri in his residence on the Via della Tessaia in Polcanto, northeast of Florence, Italy. He sees that it is coming from the forehead of a dark figure on a nearby hill across the road. Suddenly the figure and light vanish, and Ferri sees a stationary ink light with three jets projecting downward. After several minutes, this light disappears and an extremely bright white light approaches and floods the area. Ferri gets up and approaches the window but finds himself paralyzed for a few seconds. The light then withdraws, and he finds he can move again. The white light is replaced by a red lens- shaped light that hurts his eyes then moves on to the northwest. Ferri’s dog has not barked through the entire encounter, refuses food for the next several days, and stays in its doghouse for 2 weeks. Three circular holes 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch deep are found in an area of somewhat flattened grass.

One light was red and the other green, both were spherical. A voice from the lights told her not to be afraid. She began to fall asleep, in spite of the luminous globes presence ; she then felt caresses and kisses all over her body as her nightclothes were removed. She felt something spread her legs and a sharp pain soon after. She woke up terrified to see a tall, blond, green-eyed being in a tight fitting outfit in bed with her. His eyes were so green that it made her dizzy to look straight at them. She felt very attracted to him. Apparently the tall blond humanoid had a silent and invisible companion that never manifested itself in human form. They told Monica that they traveled around the world and curiosity was the motivation for their sexual contacts.

Event 45488 (AD5749E7)

Date: 11/1984
Locations: Westchester County; Stormville, New York
Description: Discover magazine publishes a cover story on the Westchester County sightings, which claims that the UFOs are actually a group of pilots from Stormville, New York, who fly ultralight aircraft in a tight formation and use their lights in such a way as to create boomerang or circle patterns. The author, Glenn Garelik, notes that single-engine planes, even when directly overhead, are barely audible at ground level when they are flying above 3,000 feet. However, it fails to disclose that many witnesses are much closer to the object than that, nor does it mention the hovering for extended periods. In his 1987 book Night Siege, Philip J. Imbrogno lists 12 reasons for rejecting the explanation of the Stormville pilots. On those occasions when witnesses see both a plane and a UFO, the plane is clearly audible and the UFO is not, even if it is much closer. The UFO also appears on nights when the Stormville pilots are not in the air. The UFO’s maneuvers simply are beyond the capacity of most aircraft, and the power and intensity of the lights is far beyond the power capacity of small planes.

Description: (Translated from French) Time : 2300 – The witness awoke feeling a sensation of heat and a strong desire to go out into the garden. As he went out he was enveloped in a red light that took him up into a small hovering object. Moments later the small object entered a larger craft. He was met by several brown skin red haired beings that took a blood sample and gave him a tour of the craft. He was then taken to an operations base at an unknown location. Later under hypnosis he was able to recall more details. He remembered being taken to a cold place with white pointed mountains filled with holes. Later he went to several different rooms and “shelters” where he was injected with a white liquid and where other procedures were undertaken. In one of the rooms he was visited by one of the tall blond beings that spoke to him by using telepathy. A blond woman then entered the room. She wore a blue jump suit with black designs on the cuffs and collar and a large black belt. Eventually the witness was returned back to his home. (1984, 4 November)

Description: (Translated from French) Time : after midnight – Steven Hall was overcome with a feeling that something was watching him, when Steven and his wife looked out their kitchen window. Surprised they saw two of the most absurd creatures one could imagine. These creatures were no more than two feet away from the window. One of them made eye contact with Steven, and stood there, staring at him not moving at all. The witness said the eye contact was “frightening” and felt as if the humanoid was « looking into your soul. » It was difficult for Steven to break eye contact with the humanoid, but his wife quickly closed the curtains. He then woke up another occupant and the house that ran outside thinking someone was snooping around the house. He ran out the front door and around the corner to see one of the creatures from about 15 ft away for about 15 seconds. The creature seemed surprised, and then it slowly turned its head, ducked down, and made its way off into the thick evergreen. The witnesses described the creatures as about four-feet tall with an extremely thin body. Their hands extended to their knees, and they wore what the witnesses suspect was a skintight suit that shimmered in the light. The eyes were a soft diamond shape, there was a small rise for a nose, and the mouth was barely a slit with a very displeasing look on it. (1984, 10 November)

Description: (Translated from French) Peter and Ana Hoel were on Shore Road around 6:15 PM when they saw a yellow glow on the ocean transform into two red lights blinking alternately. The object was approaching the land and when it got close to the coast the lights went out. It was a triangle with four white lights on the back, and like a window illuminated from the inside with a yellowish light on the underside. This triangle made a low, sustained buzzing sound. It made a right angle turn towards the center of Magnolia: it had a wingspan of about 50 meters. Suddenly it disappeared in place. A little later the witnesses saw four red lights and two white lights through the trees, moving towards Kettle Island.

As the light crossed the highway in front of her vehicle, she could see that it was part of a large metallic triangular shaped object apparently made out of white metal with gray rivets. Three beams of light shone down from the side of the object, which had rounded edges. The object then began hovering above some railroad power lines. The witness could see an opening in the center of the object. She then noticed movement inside and saw a large round sphere pass by it. A round object came into view, it resembled a large head with two very large eyes, and the rest of the facial features were flat. The object then followed the witness vehicle briefly before disappearing from view. (1984, 26 November)

Event 45506 (36EBE898)

Date: 12/1984
Location: AUSTRALIE, Hexam, NSW
Description: (Translated from French) Time : 0230A – A couple had been camping on the Ponderosa Caravan Park located just east of the Pacific Highway when the husband woke up and went outside, he then called his wife and pointed out a large cigar shaped object with a brilliant white light at the front coming towards them very slowly. The front light seemed larger than the full moon and lit up the entire caravan park. The cigar-shaped object had windows along the side. These seemed to be closed and gray in color, same as the rest of the object. Five minutes later, three small disc shaped objects flew into view moving towards the object. They traveled very quickly, zigzagging to join the larger cigar. Each disc was gray, but showed an orange or rust colored area towards the rear of the disk body, before a tail fin. One of the discs stationed itself at the rear of the cigar and the other two on either side of the cigar. Shortly they switched formation and flew behind the large cigar. The wife reported what seemed to be an outline of a helmeted head in one of the smaller discs. The cigar shaped object was emitting a low, fluctuating humming noise, which rose and fell in pitch. The objects eventually moved away from sight. The witnesses then went straight to sleep.

He then realized that six hours had passed. Later under hypnosis the witness was able to recall floating up at very high speed and entering an object. He then found himself inside a round white room lying on a table in the center of the room. A light shone on his face and several figures surrounded him. The beings were short, with bald pointy-heads and flat faces. They were poking the witness with several instruments. He was able to hear radio-like static in the background and mumble-like words apparently coming from the beings. At one point a large long needle was inserted in the witness navel, which did not hurt, a dark colored liquid was injected into him. The witness was later taken to another room where two white fog-like beings waited for him, these two then took the witness to a huge room with transparent floors. The witness was then escorted back to his house by the two beings, which apparently floated him through the air. (1984, Winter)

At this point the witness called his sister but she refused to come, apparently frightened. One of the beings finally managed to climb over the fence and began running towards the house.

Event 45546 (BFFB35A4)

Date: 1985
Location: USA, Yucca Valley (California)
Description: (Translated from French) Chet Snow, on vacation with a friend, took the opportunity to go by car at 2 pm to see the “Integraton”, a building in the shape of a flying saucer, near Giant Rock (cf. von Tassel). Without understanding how he had veered off, he found himself on a track and got lost in the desert. By chance he discovered the small hill of milky quartz, about 20 m high, on which the contacted Van Tassel was visited by the ETs. He climbed it and lay down on the top to meditate. Just before closing his eyes he saw a big bright spot the size of a walnut and he thought: “It’s funny, a walnut flying.”

A plane engine noise brought him back to consciousness, he felt full of energy, happy with his meditation. He heard a voice “Call it a meditation if you want. We, we are done.” The plane was a small Cessna. It had just taken off. It passed so close that Snow saw the pilot’s astonished face. He heard another noise: a car starting. He then saw a big American car. The voice, the plane and the car: it was simultaneous. He took his own car and checked the time: 5:20 pm! Three years later, after a seminar on altered states of consciousness, he returned to the place and then knew that he had been abducted aboard the UFO and examined by tall blond beings. [vog: ah? if he says so, isn’t it?- ]

Date: 1985
Locations: Krasnovodsk [now Türkmenbaşy], Turkmenistan; Caspian Sea
Description: Near the town of Krasnovodsk [now Türkmenbaşy], Turkmenistan, a radar station under the command of Captain L. Valuev tracks a disc-shaped object at an altitude of 60,000 feet and apparently more than one-half mile in length. The object is stationary, and some time later a small disc about 16 feet in diameter flies out of it and then lands on a lengthy spit on the Caspian Sea. Patrol boats rush to that area, but when they reach a distance of 325 feet from the object, it takes off and flies more than one-half mile away. This happens five times. Then the object ascends at a huge speed and reaches the larger disc, which rises up and disappears.

Description: US physicist Bernard Eastlund files a patent on a “Method and apparatus for altering a region in the earth’s atmosphere, ionosphere, and/or magnetosphere,” that proposes a 40-square-mile radio transmitter using Alaskan natural gas to generate current to create electromagnetic radiation to excite a section of the ionosphere. The patent speculates on “possible ramifications and potential future developments” including magnetotelluric surveys, local weather modification, and missile defense. Eastlund later claims that HAARP is built using his patents, prompting Nick Begich Jr. to charge in 1995 that HAARP is capable of secretly controlling the weather. According to HAARP program manager John L. Heckscher, “HAARP certainly does not have anything to do with Eastlund’s thing, that is just crazy. What we have here is a premier scientific research facility with military applications.”

Location: Hessdalen, Norway
Description: Project Hessdalen II is launched to study the recurring lights of Hessdalen, Norway, with the participation of J. Allen Hynek , who arrives on January 26, but little light activity is noted. The phenomenon ceases in 1986. Investigators disagree on what the Hessdalen lights are. Odd-Gunnar Røed thinks they have some complex natural cause. Erling Strand finds it odd that the lights are so localized in time and space and must be an unknown phenomenon. Paul Devereux is convinced that they are earthquake lights resulting from seismic activity (even though the seismograph recorded no tremors). University of Oslo physicist Elvand Thrane says the lights remain a mystery.

Date: 2/1985
Locations: Essoyla station; Suoyarvi, Karelia, Russia; Novye Peski station; Zastava station; Petrozavodsk; Kutizhma station
Description: 2:35 a.m. Freight train #1702, consisting of 70 empty cars and a locomotive, is paced by a strange object for 31 miles from Essoyla station through Suoyarvi, Karelia, Russia, for 1 hour and 20 minutes. It comes from the side and crosses the railway about 100–160 feet ahead of the train. The men feel as if hypnotized and stare at an object about 13 feet in diameter that moves silently above the ground as if drifting. When the train is approaching the Novye Peski station, Engineer Sergei Orlov switches on his portable radio and contacts a woman on duty who goes out to meet the approaching train. She is surprised to see the shining ball followed by the vibrating object looking like an “upturned basin.” The train appears, moving at about 37 mph. She thinks the ball might hit the station, but right before the switch, it suddenly separates from the locomotive and passes around the building. When it returns, the object moves again toward the train, which speeds up as if the UFO is pulling it. The train manages to stop only near the Zastava station and the ball disappears behind the forest. The crew has to wait for a train coming from the opposite direction toward Petrozavodsk. Conductor Mironov gets out of the cab to examine the wheels, and as soon as he walks around the locomotive he feels a strange force press him against the train. He cannot move, but eventually it lets up; he reaches the cab and the train starts off as if it is waiting for him to take his seat. The train keeps moving for some time until the ball disappears behind trees. Automatic recorders on the locomotive and other official documents corroborate the testimony. The shining ball is noticed earlier at the Kutizhma station even before it is spotted by the train.

Event 45567 (396B797B)

Date: 2/14/1985
Location: USSR, Petrozavodsk region
Description: (Translated from French) Mechanic Sergei Orlov of a freight train noticed a ball flying towards the train and eventually positioning itself in front of the locomotive. The train arrived at a slope and the brakes no longer responded. The speed increased and the locomotive became uncontrollable, the mechanic asked for the track to be reserved for him to pass at full speed. The station master went out to see what was happening and saw a red light in the shape of a disk or cigar, flying in front of the locomotive almost touching the rails. At the height of the station, the light jumped to the side and immediately disappeared. Immediately after the station, the ball returned in front of the train. The mechanics had the impression of hitting a wall, the speed dropped to 20 km/h to regain its speed shortly after. Finally the light disappeared. The train stopped, the mechanic got out to examine the wheels: then a bluish light appeared behind him and an unknown force pressed him against the locomotive. When the “embrace” loosened, the mechanic panicked and returned to his post, closing all the doors. Final result: saving 300 kg of diesel on the journey.

Description: Las Vegas Review Journal: Experts ponder Vegans’ reports of tremors, lights in sky: Large article on Las Vegans frequently feeling unexplained tremors or seeing unidentified flying objects. Many conjecture what they felt or saw was caused by an unannounced test at the Nevada Test Site, by a sonic boom or some secret military aircraft maneuver. Typically news authorities have been baffled in trying to find explanations. Nellis Air Force Base officials say the rattling of windows and mild tremors isn’t them. Chances of Nellis aircraft causing booms that would be felt in Las Vegas are “rare,” said Col. John Kuminecz, the base’s chief spokesmen. The article stated that since 1951 more than 630 nuclear weapons have been deto

The trackers activate alarms when radar spots UFO’s and spotters, armed with cameras and binoculars, set out to sight them. The author stated that Prof. Hynek, of Northwestern University and head of the Center for UFO Studies, took a sabbatical from his teaching position about the same time as an anomalous aerial phenomenom appeared over the northern sky over Lake Michigan, without disclosing his location. She speculated that he may be part of Operation Starlight.

Date: 5/1985
Location: FRANCE, Marseille
Description: (Translated from French) (cf: October 1984, Marseille) With unknown customers Benoit perceives the amount of the taxi fare and leaves for his suburb. He wakes up at home, anxious: what time did he really come back after the memory gap following the departure of his customers? Around July 20th 1985 his white hair had become light brown, he was very afraid that it would take on the colors of the hideous creature he had met in July 1983! Another more joyful observation, he had the sensation of beginning to rejuvenate.

Event 45604 (053C7E42)

Date: 5/9/1985
Description: At 4:30 a.m. a man had stopped his motorcycle by the side of the road in Lowton, England to have a smoke. He became aware of a humming sound coming from the adjacent field. When he walked closer to the field, he saw a silvery glow coming from a depression in the field. Two figures suddenly appeared, and when he started to flee he heard a voice say, “Do not be afraid.” The beings were both human looking, and of similar appearance. They both had blond, shoulder length hair parted in the middle, and were wearing what looked like blue ski suits. The female was about five feet tall, and the male somewhat shorter. Each had an egg-shaped implement attached to a belt around their waist. The woman did all the talking, and she explained that they were from “the third solar system.” She also said they use the Earth’s magnetic field and gravity for propulsion. After the conversation was finished, both beings walked to the silvery glow in the field. Moments later the humming sound increased and the glow brightened. Then a craft shaped like a football and the size of two large buses lifted off from the hollow in the field. It hovered for a few seconds, then silently shot away at incredible speed.

Event 45605 (D61F9025)

Date: 5/20/1985
End date: 5/25/1985
Locations: BDM McLean Secure Facility in Virginia; Pentagon
Description: Army Col. John B. Alexander (Howard Blum gives him the pseudonym “Harold Phillips”), director of advanced concepts at the US Army Laboratory, forms a UFO working group titled Advanced Theoretical Physics Group made up of scientists and officers throughout the defense and intelligence community. His intent is to credibly gain access to actual deep-black military programs on UFOs or provide consultants for them. It meets for the first time this week, with only three other meetings: August 6–7, 1985; April 24, 1986; and November 18, 1987. They meet at BDM McLean Secure Facility in Virginia, and the last time at the Pentagon. This first meeting’s attendees include Robert M. Wood (McDonnell Douglas), Lt. Col. Ronald F. Blackburn (Air Force), Milt Jansen (or Janzen), Don Keuble (Lockheed), Harold E. Puthoff (SRI), Ed Speakman (Army Intelligence), Howell McConnell (NSA), William S. Wilkinson (CIA), and others. The group’s effort appears to be connected to an engineering project under retired Adm. Bobby Ray Inman. Wood says the meetings are top secret, but he hears “nothing that was truly classified.” Wood gives a presentation on UFO propulsion. Other people supposedly connected to the group are Maj. Gen. Albert Stubblebine , Jack Houck (Boeing), and remote viewer Ed Dames. Alexander states that one of ATP’s goals is: “Study of the UFO data could provide a potential for a leap in technology. This would not require access to a craft, but could be derived from scientific examination of the reports determining the theoretical physics required to achieve such results.” The group dissolves in 1988, since no government agency wants to openly fund it.

Event 45606 (A47E4FFF)

Date: 5/20/1985
Description: BDM Intl’s McLean Secure Facility hosts the “Advance Theoretical Physics Conference,” under DOE supervision, to determine if UAP evidence supports an R&D program, to collect new data and obtain “direct contact” between the group and UAP occupants. The meetings are classified using DOE controls: Top Secret/Restricted Data Sigmas as Required. Leaked meeting notes write that security for the group be “totally legal.” Astronomer Jacques Vallée writes that alleged participants were from Los Alamos National Laboratory, CIA, NSA, INSCOM, McDonnell Douglas, BDM, Lockheed and OUSD(R&E). To this date, DOE has not released any records of these meetings through FOIA to the American public, nor did it provide any information to the GAO report requested by Rep. Steven Schiff in 1995.

Event 45607 (063E50A2)

Date: 5/23/1985
Location: USSR, Khabarovsk region
Description: (Translated from French) Russian bombers were on a mission in this border region with China, when the control tower reported a UFO at 22:35. It was of an elliptical shape and pale yellow in color. The object flew silently at an altitude of 2000-3000 meters and at a speed of about 600 Km/h from west to east. The phenomenon was surrounded by a luminous halo. The radar screens had no trace of the thing observed with the naked eye. Duration of the observation: 13 minutes. The object stopped for a long stay. Two hours later an identical object was again observed for 10 minutes. The bombers approached it at 800-1200 meters. The object emitted light from the bottom and from the top, but the ventral light was more intense.

Event 45624 (3C7F0BFD)

Date: Summer 1985
Location: Mendocino County, California
Description: Midnight. Biochemist Kary Mullis (who in 1993 won a Nobel Prize for his work on the polymerase chain reaction) is outside his cabin in Mendocino County, California, when he sees a glow next to a fir tree. Pointing his flashlight in that direction, he sees that the glow is coming from a raccoon with black eyes. The raccoon speaks to him, saying, “Good evening, doctor.” He gives a friendly reply, and a moment later it is suddenly morning and he is walking on a road uphill from the cabin with no idea how he has gotten there. His clothes are clean and dry. Mullis goes back to the cabin for some sleep. Later, he returns to the area near the fir tree and experiences an irrational panic. In 1987, he sees the cover of Whitley Strieber’s Communion and feels a vague sense of recognition. His adult daughter Louise, who has also experienced missing time at the cabin, has the same reaction. Mullis has no memory of seeing a UFO or having an abduction experience, but he insists the experience is real.

(…) They went there, the UFO arrived, it was bigger than the Moon, it was in the shape of a saucer, it had two lights on the top, one on the belly and a small dome. Nickolai brought his camera and took three shots. Three minutes later, the UFO disappeared at great speed. The photo shows some kind of light, nothing else. (June 22, 1985)

Event 45631 (741DE9BB)

Date: 7/1985
Location: AUSTRALIA, Hobart (Tasmania)
Description: (Translated from French) (“Australian UFO Bulletin” - Dec. 1994 Victoria) In winter 1985 (July, as it was an Australian country) Mr. G. lived on his farm 55 km north of Hobart, with his wife, three sons and two daughters. The eldest was then 16 to 17 years old, the youngest 7 years old. The eldest boy had accompanied his father to hunt on a neighboring property 2.5 km away to the northeast at the foot of the hill. It was quite cold, but the weather was nice. When wanting to return, the boy called his father, saying to turn on the spotlight, as there was a visitor. So Mr. G. put his harness containing a 12 V battery on his back to power a powerful lamp. In the north, he saw a blue luminous object in the sky about 5 km away. In the following minutes, the object was only 200 meters away and was really flying close to the ground. He then saw that lights (more than 7 - less than 11) were suspended in a row 6 or 7 m above the object: these lights were also blue. The object landed vertically, without any noise. It was so surrounded by luminosity that the whole area was bathed in an intense blue light. The object seemed to be in the shape of a huge bubble, with the upper part rounded. At mid-height there was a ring or a rim, the base was flat. The object must have measured 20 to 25 m long and 6 to 7 m thick. As soon as the UFO was on the ground, Mr. G. felt something burning on his back: it was the battery that was boiling and bubbling. The 17-year-old boy had moved away from the thing when suddenly they heard a strange noise, like something singing, it seemed to come out of the object, it could be a kind of unknown language to them. That was too much for the witnesses, they moved away from the place as quickly as they could, jumping into the car, to return to their farm, without looking back. The product of their hunt had remained at the foot of the hill. At home Mr. G. made a strange discovery: while his shirt and sweater were fine, his singlet showed a burned hole of 15 cm. As they had left the battery and the gun on the property, the father went to get them but then never returned to the place.

Event 45633 (612183BA)

Date: 7/1985
Locations: Port Columbus International Airport; John Glenn Columbus International Airport; Ohio
Description: 3:00 p.m. As a pilot is flying a Grumman AA TR-2 toward the Port Columbus International Airport [now the John Glenn Columbus International Airport] in Ohio, the airport gives him authorization to investigate a “second sun” about two-thirds the size of a football field a few miles to the northwest. It is not tracked on ground radar. As he approaches, he sees it is a huge bright light that switches off as he gets closer, revealing a gray sphere. The object apparently consists of “millions” of clearly visible, pentagon-shaped, partially translucent crystals. The pilot estimates they are 6 inches in diameter, all spaced identically about 12 inches apart. He decides to penetrate the mass with his left wing, hoping he can knock some to the ground. As his wing slices through, he hears what sounds like a hailstorm on a tin roof and he sees hundreds of crystals breaking along the wing. The aircraft turbulence does not disturb the small objects, but their impact on the wing nearly destabilizes him. Later, he looks for fragments embedded in the wing, but does not find any.

Description: (Translated from French) Residents of six nearby towns said they had seen a UFO above Bulawayo. At 5:45 pm two Hawk interceptor planes of the Zimbabwe Air Force took off from the Thornhill base to go and see what was happening. The Bulawayo airport was picking up the UFO on its radar which was being observed by spectators on the ground. Round in shape, topped with a small cone, it shone so brightly in the afternoon light that other details were indistinct. The ZAF Hawks approached the UFO while it hovered at an altitude of 2000 meters, but then it rose to 210000 meters. The Hawks pursued it up to 9500 meters.

Description: 5:45 p.m. Two Hawk jets of the Zimbabwe Air Force piloted by C. Cordy-Hedge and T. R. Van Rooyen are scrambled from Thornhill Air Base in Gweru, Zimbabwe, following sightings in Bulawayo and five other cities in Matabeleland South. The object is seen and tracked on radar at Bulawayo Airport. It looks orange and round with a short cone on top. When the jets arrive at Bulawayo, the object is hovering at 7,000 feet, but it suddenly accelerates to a height of above 70,000 feet in less than a minute. The Hawks level off at 31,000 feet and return to Thornhill, where the object is seen for a few moments before disappearing horizontally at high speed. Air Commodore David Thorne states: “As far as my Air Staff is concerned, we believe implicitly that the unexplained UFOs are from some civilization beyond our planet.” UFO researcher Cynthia Hind speaks to some Bulawayo witnesses who think the object is a balloon coated with reflecting material, but radar operators say it is clear it is no balloon.
