<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Long time readers of Magonia and its predecessor MUFOB might remember the huge catalogue of ‘Type 1’ UFO reports that featured in its pages. This was the continuation of the catalogue that featured as an appendix to Jacques Vallee’s </span><em style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Passport to Magonia</em><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. The work began in 1971 and publication of reports began in the Autumn of 1972 and continued until the early months of 1982, at which time it was felt that it no longer reflected the ethos of what was then Magonia.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Originally it was constructed with some distinctly Old Ufology biases, with attempts to separate out ‘true’ and ‘false’ cases, those with conventional explanations being excluded. By 1982 it was becoming clear that this could easily mean very little would be left, and there were endless arguments about which case was true or false. Interest was failing, the old Vallee classification of Type 1 (below 100 feet or 30 metres or treetop height) made little sense (who can safely estimate height, how high is a tree etc.). It also has to be said that many of the stories thus included were very banal indeed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">By 1982 I had compiled the catalogue 1880-1980 and assumed the work was finished, there were various plans to get it ‘onto computer’ a rare beast in those early days. For several years the complete catalogue of over 5,000 entries was housed in the then ASSAP library in the basement of Purley Library where John Rimmer was librarian. When that closed in the early 1990s the catalogue came home, I occasionally used bits of it in articles, but it was not until the rise of the Internet that I considered transcribing it to computer. The task of transcribing 5,000 plus entries is more than a little daunting, so I decided to concentrate on a more realistic sample, the entity cases.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Readers must understand that these stories are presented as just that, stories, examples of modern folklore, products of the human imagination. The “aliens” presented here, with a handful of exceptions that never made the canon, are far too human to be the real thing. They belong in traditional folkloric categories, and the observant reader will detect many traditional motifs. This human imagination can be assumed to manifest in various forms, in the spontaneous imagination of dreams, hypnogogic hallucinations or waking visions, or manifest in the misperception of conventional natural or human phenomena (or unconventional or even exotic natural phenomena if such exist), in the more crafted imagination of “told as true” tales, whether by the “witnesses” or journalists, ufologists or popular writers, to the more sophisticated hoaxes, whether played by or on the “witnesses”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These stories show how UFO stories meld imperceptibly into ghost and fairy tales. They encode the mysteries of the night and wild and liminal places and show interesting constants of the imagination. Their patterns hint at the kinds of things that are misperceived (how many spaceships, complete with crew at the controls are misperceptions of the moon and its markings low on the horizon or seen through foliage and mist? They merge traditional motifs with modern imagery (the little people of tradition come complete with diving suits or space suits, they do things that people imagine human astronauts would do, such as gather soil samples (but also linking to themes of vegetation and fertility).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What most separates these memorates from ghost stories, traditional and often modern, is that they are located in time and space, they occurred to so and so and such a time and such a place, not the vague “people say” or “it is said” of much ghost-lore.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The catalogue here is compiled as it was up to 1982, no new cases or information has been added. All I have done is make some clarifications in the text, added sub-national geographical areas and modernised the references. In doing so I may have made an error or two in cases where there are prolific authors. </span><br />

She heard two loud knocks on the back door and felt compelled to open it. Outside were three beings, 1.8m tall, wearing tight fitting silver suits with belts, thick boots and collars. Their faces were white and they had long fair hair and large eyes.

It was over 2m tall, with an ape like head, though no facial details were visible. The thing was covered in long dark, dull hair and its arms and legs were disproportionately long. It moved in an awkward manner from the edge of the road. It put out its arm and then its right leg, which seemed to almost go over their car’s bonnet. As it did so, the vehicle lost power. It took them about 1.5km before the car power returned to normal.

It was a bright light coming up in the rear from the distance. After a short while Gordon lost sight of this light, but about 5 minutes later, looking to his left he saw a huge, dark boomerang shaped object with lights on its side. Gordon turned down his window but heard no noise from the object, which was descending about 100m away, though he noticed unusual amounts of static on his radio. The thing came down to about 30m above Gordon’s truck, stretching across the width of the road. It paced him for about 5 minutes, emitting rotating lights of “the purest colours”.

One of the men saw a silvery-grey, reflective disc shaped object coming very low north to south. It then turned east and came towards the men, who were in a field about 20mm from the river. The thing came close at only 3m above the ground, and appeared to be about 10m diameter. When the thing came directly overhead it became invisible, though it still cast a shadow on the ground, and the men felt electricity in the air. They did not see the thing move away; it just appeared again in the northeast. The men experienced about 8-10 hours of missing time. One of the men suffered nightmares afterwards and both had psychological after effects. <br /> <br />Ridge 1994 p77 citing his own investigation <br /> <br /> <br /> November 26 1984. 1830hrs.<br /> GLOUCESTER (MASSACHUSSETS : USA) <br /> Per and Ana Hoel were taking their dog for a walk along Shore Road when they saw a bright light out to sea, which they thought was a rescue helicopter. They saw it was hovering close to the water about 400m away, shining a yellow light onto the sea. They were, however, unable to hear any noise. After about 5 minutes the thing seemed to take off and came towards them. They saw that it was a triangular object with two flashing red lights on either side, travelling at about 7kph 30m above them. It was about 50m long, 40m wide. In addition to the red lights, which had now stopped flashing, they saw a row of 5-6 white lights and on the centre of the underside was a sort of yellow canopy. The thing was dull grey, with a darker rim along its edges. As it passed over towards Magnolia Centre, just above the trees, the Hoels heard a faint humming sound. It hovered near a property on a nearby hill and then seemed to disappear. The Hoels ran to the spot, but the thing had turned and was now heading out to sea. In profile only a cone of light was visible.

At first he took little notice, but then they went over his car and a luminous mass landed on the road ahead. At this his lights and motor failed. As the car glided to a halt, the witness saw the road blocked by a cigar shaped object, giving off glaring lights from the underside, which hurt his eyes. The object itself was grey in colour, 5-6m long and 2m high. The terrified motorist hid behind a bush and was violently sick. He then saw that his car was moving towards the object, despite its hand brake being on, being dragged out 10m. A Land Cruiser approached and its lights failed also, though its engine kept on running. The driver of this vehicle got out to help, and as he did so the strange object took off with a high pitched whining sound and curved away to the south. The first motorist thought that the bitumen on the road where the thing had rested, had melted, and found a splash of bitumen on his car. When he revisited the site next day, the road appeared to have been repaired. The second driver was never traced and the first rejected further investigation after a claimed visit by three men who told him not to talk about the incident. <br /> <br />Chalker 1996 p.182 citing TUFOIC investigation <br />Hall 2001 p.259 <br /> <br /> <br /> December 20 1984.

The lights levelled off about 800m ahead and continued towards the car only 5-6m above the road, at over 160kph. The lights appeared to be about 1.5-2m diameter and the distance between them was wider than that of the two lane road. The thing then suddenly stopped 15-18m away, the lights dimmed down. They now saw two rows of lights, blinking on and off in random for about 10 seconds, after which the lights dimmed. They could now see that the lights were on a rectangular object at least 30m long. The bottom row of lights was about 2.5-3m above the base and the upper lights about 2m below the top. The thing’s general surface was battleship grey in colour.

K (38), an artist from Warsaw was on a camping holiday. He decided to
take some wildlife photographs. At some point in his walk he noticed
two figures dressed in green, which he took to be boy scouts, about
60m ahead. He lost sight of these figures and continued on his walk
but a number of metres further on after a bend in the path, he saw
them again; they were stood, straggling the path, their elbows
folded. When K got within 10m of them, he realised that the 1.6m tall
figures didn’t just have green clothes, but that their faces were
olive-green. They ha d large eyes and slit like mouths. K went to
approach them but received a message in his heads telling to keep on
walking. As he did so, K noticed a thin object in the woods behind
them. The beings seemed to change location without moving and were
covered in vapour from the object behind them. When he looked back
this object seemed to have diminished in size. K also felt he had
received a message from the beings concerning the fate of their
planet. When an elderly couple he had overtaken caught up with him,
they seemed to walk right through K, and appeared to think him mad
when he challenged them movements later. He felt unable to take

Taylor was driving down the East Lancashire road with her mother,
from Southport to Manchester, when at a unspecified location they
realised that the road was unusually free of traffic for the time of
evening. They then saw a large light at treetop level to their right,
pacing the car. The car refused to accelerate and the engine then
misfired, reduced their speed to 6.5-8kph. Their attention was drawn
then to the presence of an ancient 1930s style car too close to them
for safety. They then saw that the light had been replaced by a large
metallic object hovering over them. Linda screamed and the car in
front just vanished. They were now terrified and drove to a filling
station, where the light was still visible. It approached them,
tilted and shot up back into the sky. When they arrived home Linda
discovered that her coat was missing from the car and was then
violently sick. She later had a dream of being in a white circular
room, with a tall, blond, blue eyed man and a dolphin in a pool. </span></div>

off white flakes. Through a row of windows along its side they could
lights and figures moving towards its front. One of the figures
stopped and when the witness waved at it, it waved back, only to be
pulled away by one of its fellows. As the thing moved off to the
southwest, seven multi-coloured disks seemed to be ejected to the
southwest, and the main object split into three and disappeared. </span></div>

The thing was hovering at about 1.5 times the height of the telephone

had got out of his car for a better look but then felt a sudden
intense fear and got back in the car, during which time the object
seemed to have moved. They were then distracted by a passing car and
when they looked again the object seemed to be both moving away and
fading away from the rear. They were unable to remember the incident
until it came out in conversation some time later and the 90 minute

whistling sound and, looking up, saw an object just above pine trees
on the edge of his property. It descended into an alfalfa field, at
which Niccolai fled to a small cabin on the hill above his house.
From there he saw the object on the ground about 80m away. It
resembled two saucers, one inverted over the other, 1.5m tall, of a
leaden colour, and with a sort of brace around the circumference. The
whistling then increased and the thing rose to treetop height and
then shot away to the northeast. As it rose, Niccolai saw a sort of
landing gear consisting of two pieces extending 20cm below the
object, and two circles resembling trap doors. It kicked up dust as
it took off. The thing had been on the ground for less than one
minute. The next day traces suggestive of a large object were found
in the soil. Gendarmes found two concentric circles 2.2 and 2.4m in
diameter respectively. Investigations for the official body GEPAN
suggested unusual changes in the vegetation. </span></div>

metallic grey conical object, which rather resembled a tent, but had
no external markings, and appeared to be about 2,.5m high. In front
of this object were three pure white ovals, like blotches, about 25cm
high. She assumed that this was some sort of new fangled tent, but by
1030 the thing had gone. The field’s owner denied all knowledge of
it. A customer, with an interest in UFOs, examined the site a few
days later and found a disturbed area 3.3m x3.3m and three
depressions about 10cm deep, By the time the case was properly
investigated 13 months later these traces had disappeared. The
witness had a number of odd experiences. </span></div>

and Maureen Hall were driving back to Dartford when they saw lights
moving up and down in the sky. The stopped at Hale and watched the
lights, which kept appearing and disappearing over a nearby field.
They drove on, and close to the Hale roundabout, they saw a dark
object hovering over a wooded area. Maureen felt an odd sensation as
the thing passed over their car and when she arrived home she had the
feeling that someone was pushing her towards her door. Soon after
this she saw the figure of a man in the doorway, but the figure
disappeared when Michael approached it. </span><br />

forming an equilateral triangle hovering at treetop height, 15m away.
The lights appeared to be on a dark metallic object, from the base of
which a dull beam of light descended slowly. The object had a large
window, through which two beings could be seen. They had large heads,
with elongated eyes and two holes for a nose. One was sitting the
other standing, the latter having white skin and a long thin neck and
appeared to be staring at the girl with pupiless eyes. In front of
the two beings was a white instrument panel with black or grey
controls. After staring, transfixed, at the sight for 15 minutes the
girl returned to the sitting room and did not see the thing leave.

blanket and refused to look. Jose then heard a buzzing sound, which
turned into one like a truck, though no trucks could get to this
remote terrain. Two1m tall, very broad shouldered dwarfs then
appeared side by side as if out of nowhere and spoke in an
incomprehensible language. They seemed to have normal hands and feet
but Jose could not make out their facial features but saw they wore
tight fitting blue, helmeted suits. Jose became confused and the next
thing he remembered was the bright blue light, which did not
illuminate the surroundings, move off at speed. </span><br />

at least 2m tall, which walked swinging its arms. It was covered in
black or dark brown hair about 10cm thick and gave off a musty smell.
The lad remained still in the boat for several seconds, and then,
when the creature had gone out of sight, paddled rapidly away. His
father noticed his evident fear and returned to the site with him.
The odour was still in the air, but they could find no other traces,
but then they heard a large animal running ahead of them, but they
were unable to catch a sight of it. </span><br />

other people in the area, being taken from the booth. Mark was taken,
given a physical, encountered a “female” alien, who seemed caring
and talked about Ebola. Mark was the tapped on the head by a wand
terminating in a crystal. This gave him a vision of a nuclear bomb
dropping on Atlanta and then a vision of a pastoral future. He was

75m further on, he saw a large red luminous object, like two soup

out to investigate and noticed a bright object on the ground near the
horses. Thinking it was a downed meteorological balloon, Michael went
to pick it up, but as he did so, the 60-90cm diameter disc, with a
chrome top and black bottom, rose up 45-60m and then went over his
head, and descended to 20m above the ground. Michael was then joined
by colleagues, Kevin Clarke and Raymond Miller. The three watched as
the thing moved off towards Idstone. At 0805 two couples, Mr and Mrs
Richardson and Mr and Mrs Case, travelling together in the opposite
direction and saw the object come in from 200-300m and pass over at

and dark indentations around its perimeter. </span><br />

they were overtaken by an unusually fast taxi. As the journey
continued, they noticed her quite everything had become. Further
along they saw lights in the distance, but when they got closer, saw
they were on a domed object, with a row of windows in the centre,
above a field to their left. It was first seen as a ring of white
lights at about 60m altitude, within which were two red lights. The
object seemed to come towards them, the car seemed to run slow and
they suffered a 25 minute time loss. Under hypnotic regression one of
them recalled the car being stopped, with the doors open and one of
her companions missing and going out to investigate. Outside it was
black until a bright light appeared and a male voice told her not to
be afraid. She was sucked into a triangular room without furniture. A
male and female entity entered the room, they were about 1.8m tall
with dark shoulder length hair, blue eyes and white skin and were
wearing green cloaks. She found it impossible to give a better
description of them, as trying to do so gave her headaches. The
beings examined her clothes and the female took off her shoes and
tried to walk in them. The witness was then given a medical
examination, including something of a gynaecological nature that she
could not remember. The entities would not say who or what they were. </span><br />

year old men on a vacation were sailing a motor launch, towards
Lieksa, on this day in which there were strong winds and currents,
when they saw a spherical, black object in the sky, surrounded by one
large and several small lights. The large light approached, so they
stopped the boat, and then a dark object with two lights, surrounded
by a sort of fog flew to their stern. One of the men became
paralysed. The lights and the object suddenly disappeared and the men
found themselves sitting in a different position, and they realised
that it was 0410. Despite the passage of 7 ½ hours, the boat was in
the same location. The men later suffered nightmares, a loss of
balance and uncontrolled shaking. Hypnotic regression was
unsuccessful. </span><br />

resembled a glowing orange human head with red eyes. It moved off

a yellow glow. On this visit he saw the glow again, coming within 7m
of a domed object. As he watched it, someone grabbed his shoulder and
he fainted. When Carlos came to and returned to his car, he
encountered another car. From this emerged a young man who approached
Carlos and told him that if he wanted to know what he had experienced
to meet him the next day. He did so and saw the young man with a

down. We he got to his feet, the figures had vanished. Another

riveted surface and four windows, emitting light, underneath was a
faint light and on top was a searchlight from which the powerful
light was coming. As he propped himself against a tree the light got

farmer some 65km from the Missouri river was working in his fields
when a bright blue light hovered over him. Two days later he found a
circle of burnt ground, about 10m diameter, in a pasture. Two further
marks were found the next day. The evening after that the farmer’s
wife was bringing in the cattle when she saw what she thought was one
of the neighbouring children but was a humanoid about 1.5m tall, with
an unusually round head and large eyes. She waved at the stranger,
who waved back and then went off into the cornfield. Her husband
thought it might be a runaway child and made a search but found
nothing. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At
0300hrs. the next morning the farmer was awoken by the sound of his
cattle acting up and got up to investigate. Through the bedroom
window he saw a disc shaped object, emitting a green glow, hovering
over the barnyard, with shadowy figures moving around it. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Before
he could wake his wife he saw three of the beings stood in the
bedroom doorway. His yells awoke his wife and both found their
initially fear giving way to feelings of calm as the beings led them
downstairs and out past the yard to the disc, from which a stairway
descended . They walked up the steps into a dimly lit area, where the
woman was persuaded to lie on a table, to which she found herself
manacled as her nightdress was cut away by a “female” entity that
made a humming sound. There she was given various medical procedures.
The man was given a drink which gave him a fever and made him
sexually aroused, allowing them to take a semen sample. The couple
then woke up in bed. </span><br />

that shone brilliantly. On the underside was a dark line, at the end
of which was a box like structure, which slowly revolved anti
clockwise. A cyclist also saw the thing, but other motorists seemed
oblivious to it. After a couple of minutes the arm stopped moving and
the thing crossed the road, heading east towards Bollington , stopped

(see Autumn 1947) was with a church party on a car trip to Mull. An
American acquaintance had got out to take photographs, when they all
felt a strange sensation and the car became surrounded by grey mist.
It came up to the windscreen, and when the American’s hid their
faces, Dawn something silvery moving about. They lost track of time
and when the mist cleared the sun had moved on in the sky, the car
clock and the American’s quartz watches had stopped, but Dawn’s
wind up watch was still working, suggesting 20-30 minutes had
elapsed. It took some time for the car to restart, but after that
there were no problems. The American’s denied anything mysterious
had happened. </span><br />

women working in the city centre saw a solid sphere with a dull
metallic surface above the skyscraper building of the West Yorkshire
police service. It then vanished for 3-4 seconds, only to reappear
closer to the roof of the building. First seen as a point source, it
expanded into a cigar or oval object, giving the impression that it
was descending rapidly. After 15 seconds it went down behind the
police building and was lost to sight. The two women were so shaken
that they were still unable to return to work three days later. </span><br />

Sobrino was hanging the washing in her yard when she saw a bright
light coming towards her over a nearby Cocoa-Cola factory. It
increased in size as it came silently closer. Magdalena then saw a
transparent cabin, in which she could see two thin humanoid figures,
about 2m tall dressed in grey tight fitting overalls, their arms
outstretched as if operating some equipment. Magdalena stood stunned
as the object flew behind a nearby building. </span><br />

Spurlock, an electrical power company worker, and his girlfriend were
out driving in his 1876 pickup truck, on a back road when they saw a
bright light moving at right angles and then turning and approaching.
On coming closer, to within 12m it resolved into two beams projected
by an object with a flat bottom, surmounted by a turret like dome,
from which the beams came, and on the bottom of which were four
pulsating lights, red, blue,, green amber, and with a red flashing
light on its top. On the lower edge were four windows giving off a
dull white lights and it had a sort of grill structure on its
underside. The, soundless, 6m diameter object was very low, almost
scraping the hedge tops. Dale drove off, the object following. It
stopped when they did and projected its beams again. When the couple
turned onto the main highway and object moved off. The following day
the truck’s alternator and battery were found to be ruined. </span><br />

surrounded by a sort of mist, at about 30m altitude. The thing then
began to descend, and the light became so bright as to be
uncomfortable, and appeared to be a mix of blue, green, yellow and
red. They drove up to the thing, which was about 30m to the side of

giving them the impression that it was somehow alive. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Their

“ismail” Hamid (24) had gone to the river to wash when he almost
passed out. When he came to he found himself in a “beautiful palace
in a beautiful village”, mainly occupied by women, who plied him
with fruit and other meals. He felt homesick there and asked to go
home. Two of the women escorted him along a tree lined grassy path
way. On the route back he encountered a beautiful house, whose owner
invited him in, however as he entered he hit his head and came to in
a cow shed. His wife had reported him missing and locals and police
had conducted an unsuccessful search for him. After the incident he
developed shamanic powers. </span><br />

Warwick was walking back from a camping trip along a narrow dirt road
and, having gone over a rise, saw a light ahead. He first thought
that it was a truck coming towards him, but then realised that it was
static. Getting closer he saw that it was an unusual object, around
which were dwarfs 1-1.2m tall, with large eyes. Don raised his gun at
the creatures, at which they ran back into the object. Don got down
from the bank on which he was standing and ran off. The strange

altitude and roused his half asleep wife to watch it,, but the light
had now disappeared. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Shortly
after this the thing or something similar reappeared, with two
columns of light on its underside, beamed at their car. The red and
blue flashing lights came on and the thing plunged from about 600m
altitude to about 5m above the road, and passed over their car as
another car approached to the right. They were able to see that the
thing was a rectangle, about 18m long and as thick as a car. The
passing car accelerated away and the object went into the southwest. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">About
5 minutes later it reappeared from the southwest and swept low over
the road ahead of them. This was repeated a number of times, the
object retreating when they entered towns. Eventually they spent the
rest of the night in one such town to escape the thing. </span><br />

his near left side. When he looked in that direction he saw a strange
object hovering over the ground about 10m away. Juan’s eyesight
began to blur but he was able to make out that the thing was a
silvery colour, about 2m tall and 1.5m wide, quivering up and down
about 1m from the ground. Suddenly Juan heard a “loud aggressive “
voice, seeming to come from the thing ordered him out of the truck.
Juan, fearing a robbery, stayed put and tried to re-start his truck.
He then felt a neck pain so severe as to make him loose
consciousness. He recovered with blurred vision, buzzing in his ears
and still a pain in his neck. He found he had been unconscious for 20
minutes. He was picked up by a motorist as he tried to get to his

sitting up in the living room watching the state night TV after
returning from his shift when his dog started acting up. Going to
investigate he saw lights he thought were on a truck but then feared
were on a crashed plane. He called on his 18 year old daughter to
call the authorities and rouse his wife, who like him, was a member
of the rescue squad. As he went out to see what he could do he saw a
car with its headlight on the lights, but that moved off before he
could speak with the driver. The police confirmed that there were
other calls. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">DS
drove towards the site but just after a crossroads his engine and
lights failed, so he continued on foot. As he crossed a field he saw
a red pulsing light and encountered a figure a figure dressed in a
silvery one piece suit, holding a sort of rod or baton in the manner
of holding a rifle. The stranger did not reply to DS’s concern for
his health. However he then seemed to answer questions as if by
telepathy saying he was a watchguard, was “not from here” and
then delivered a standard homily about humans misusing resources etc.
He further claimed “they” had been here many times before and
“were known”. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Suddenly
DS found himself much closer to the thing, which was not easy to make
out, but appeared to be wider than thicker, and had a sort of window
which gave off a hazy purple light. He later developed severe sunburn
on the areas of his body exposed to this light. The being then just
vanished and the opening disappeared. A portion of the object then
seemed to spin, other lights appeared and the object took off,
emitting a humming sound as it did so. After it rose to the height of
a two story building it just moved off into the distance, getting
brighter as it did so. DS’s car now started easily. A circular area
of parched grass was left at the site. </span><br />

Miron (18) was returning to the family farm from his girlfriend’s
house when he observed a reddish star like object less than 20
degrees west of North and 25 degrees above the treeline. About 300m
on it appeared larger than a star, and then appeared to be flashing
red rays all around but mainly from the bottom. About 1.5km from his
home he saw it as a flattened cone, larger than the apparent diameter
of the moon, and with a an arc of small red lights that flashed on
and off. As Tim moved slowly on, so did the strange object. It then
suddenly backed away and descended behind trees 200m from the road,
disappearing from sight. When Tim got within 800m of his home, he saw
the thing again, still larger, hovering over a neighbour’s house
barn and yard 150m away. As he approached again the object backed
away, hovering over works buildings. He moved rather closer and it
seemed to expand and to be hovering about 3m above the ground. Now
afraid he rushed the last 300m home, He awoke his mother and they
both watched the thing manoeuvre around the property for 30-45
minutes, before it disappeared behind trees to the north.</span></div>

they turned their lights off and coming forward again when they
turned the lights back on. It passed over them at about 75m altitude,
and as it did so, its bright light went out, showing that it was a
large, dull triangular object, the colour of gun metal, surrounded by
a glowing mist. There was a red light in front, amber at the rear
corners. It shot out two bright beams, one to the north, and the
other to the south. When a plane approached the thing stopped,
increased in brilliance and rose straight up. It was quite silent and
during the observation the men had a sensation of their skin

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">During
the period of the Falklands war, a woman was sitting in her chair
watching television, when she began to feel a feeling of lassitude.
Though the door was locked a figure, the size of a small child
entered and took the witness by the hand and led her out of her flat,
through the now open door, onto the street. There she encountered a
vehicle, though her eyes were blurred and she was unable to look at
anything directly, resembled a London taxi cab. The being led her
inside, and she now knew this was not a cab. She then found herself
in a terrifying dark void, only for the door to open. Two male but
not really human figures, to whom she felt a strong erotic
attraction, led her out. She still felt leaden. The figures left her
and she became swamped by extreme emotions.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">She
next found herself in a room with a shower cubical. Here five female
beings, dressed in tube like clothing, came through the wall. They
had short noses, thin lips, slanted eyes and identical hair. The
tallest of them was about 1.5m tall. The witness undressed, went into
the shower cubical, which rotated around, projecting lights onto or
through her body. She then dressed. The five females then gave a sort
of collective sigh and walked out of the room.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
now frightened woman followed them out of the room and found herself
in a corridor, through which she had to drag herself and the only
feature of which was a window, through which she saw a scene as if
she was in space. This made her burst into tears. The creature that
had first escorted her there now reappeared, looking more like a
goblin than a child. It asked her in a sneering voice why she was
crying. She asked to go home because her mother was dying. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
being led her back to her flat, from which a green light was shining.
When she got inside she fainted. She came too on the floor next to
the chair where she had been sitting. Only 15-20minutes had passed.
In the following weeks she had a migraine and saw strange lights in
the sky. </span></div>

farmer Zulimo Toffoli (46) was roused by the alarm in one of his
chicken sheds sounding. As Zulimo went to investigate he noticed a
beam of light shining towards the entrance gate, beyond which were
two red rotating spirals which gave him the impression that they were
pointing at him. Above the electricity inspection cabin there
appeared to be a dark mass of some sort, from which the light beam
appeared to be emanating. This beam was yellow –white and lit the
area like daylight. Still thinking that someone was trying to attract
his attention Zulimo called out several times. The light beam and the
spirals then went out and Zulimo could see that the mass above the
cabin was about a solid structure about 4-5m long, 2m thick. The
temperature in the unit where the alarm had gone off was down to
below 18degrees, despite the summer warmth. The object then took off
with a sound like an insect buzzing and headed off to the west.
Zulimo then returned to bed but could not sleep. </span><br />

Rosalind saw blue lights through the rear view mirror and the car’s
engine and lights failed. There was a sudden silence, even the wind
stopping. They got out to see what was the matter at which the
headlights came back on, the ignition worked and they drove from the
scene. When they arrived at their destination over three hours was
missing. Rosalind suffered from scars on her lower body, weight loss
and nightmares. Some years later she underwent hypnotic regression
which proved traumatic. Memories surfaced spontaneously of, when they
stopped to examine the engine, under the direction of a voice in her
head of walking towards a object from which a beam of blue light
stunned her, of waking up in a well lit room with a translucent
table, of being forced to strip by small blue grey beings with
wizened faces, and of a taller entity holding a probe to her abdomen
and telling her they wanted her to have a child. </span><br />

they were dressed in one piece grey suits with white collars, thought
they were vicars, but then realised they were absolutely identical in
appearance . They smiled at him as they stroked the motorcycle, and
the witness’s memory became confused. The men were then walking
towards a vertical bullet shaped object on the ground. It was about
3m high, 2m wide, standing on four girder like legs 1.5-1.8m long. On
the side of the object was a bright red insignia, in which was a
vertical arrow. This emblem then vanished, as the craft rose slowly
to about 7m then suddenly vanished. After about 10 minutes he pushed
the bike home, where he found its seat was ripped, petrol cap
missing, and a strange powder on it. Some of this was sent to BUFORA.
This was found to be similar to paint pigment. The investigator was
never able to meet the witness despite repeated visits.</span><br />

(45) and his two sons (15, 10), saw through their living room window,
a glowing object like an inverted letter “L”. The 10 year said a
little person was carrying it, and when father and elder son went
outside, they saw that it was being held by a 1m tall being, dressed
a light grey wetsuit, hovering 60cm-1m above the ground. The being
wore a belt ringed with circular objects and had a disproportionally
large face. The 10 year old running out a little later and 6m from
the house saw a second being and jogged towards it. Getting closer he
noticed its large eyes and caved in nose. It gave the boy a stare but
he kept on running toward. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mr E
looking at the first being, gave his attention to the thing it was
carrying. This was about 2m high and about 5cm or so in diameter,
with the top portion 60cm-1m long and appeared to be fuzzy in nature. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When
the 10 year old called out, Mr E turned around to confront the second
figure, also hovering 60cm-1m above the ground and wearing a similar
suite, but not holding anything. It was about 3.5m away, and he could
see it had grey skin, with no visible ears and a slit like nose. He
could see what looked like veins on the thing’s head. Mr E tried to
reassure the beings that the family meant no harm, but they seemed
not to comprehend. After about 5 minutes they floated away, still
above the ground on an intercept course.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mr E
then saw a third being near a pile of junk in the yard, which then
began to float away much faster than the other two. The three
converged and gather round, perhaps touched the strange devise then
turned into a mass of light that shot off into the cloud cover. There
was no physical evidence, but Mr E developed insomnia and additional
energy since the event. </span><br />

about 5 seconds the light went out. Moments later he saw two beings
on the grass to his right, seemingly looking at him. He approached
and saw they were about 1.65m tall, male with dark curly hair, high
cheekbones, light complexions and blue eyes, but otherwise having
“eastern features”. They wore tight fitting light grey one piece
suits with a motif above the heart that he could not remember. They
were illuminated by a sort of glowing aura. They conversed with the
witness for a few moments then glided away, feet off the ground, then
vanished in the undergrowth. The beings spoke English in mechanical
fashion, their mouths remaining open. They asked him to go with them
but he refused even when they said he would return and would be

found a fuse and the ignition key in his hand without remembering how

Norris (28) was driving home when she heard a sound like an
explosion and her car began to vibrate and then halted. She then saw
a brilliant object, emitting a high pitched noise. The thing was a
sort of elongated disc, with an upper window, through which she could
see about 20-30 slender human like beings, about 1,75m tall, with
large chests and heads, which were bald and earless. They had pale
skins and wore white suits. They seemed to take no notice of Pat, and
about 5 minutes later the object turned and flew off. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">After
this experience Pat had dreams in which she was on a table in a room
with many lights and a strange tree made of gold and silver. She was
surrounded by beings, one of which seemed to be very old. When she
felt cold one of the beings lay its hands on her and she felt warm.
They touched various parts of her body with metal rods and questioned
her, by telepathy, about her emotional problems. After these dreams,
her lifelong back problems and her headaches were cured. </span><br />

both saw that it was an arrow shaped object with a row of red lights
at its front and a single green light on each side and was hovering
over a field. The object turned towards them, projecting two lights
in their direction. These beams did not light up the surroundings but
when they focused on their car the car radio failed. Another car
passed them without stopping. During this period the normal ambient
sounds were absent. Jerry then drove off and as they entered a built
up area the object moved off, rising above the trees and disappeared
into the south-southwest. As it did so the car radio came on again.</span><br />

static mass on the water. Intrigued he stopped and pulled over to
watch the chevron shaped object, about 150-200m away. After some
minutes it began to move, and as it did so a row of red lights
appeared up and down its surface. Wondering it if was an experimental
craft, he got out and walked to the shore of the reservoir. As it got
within 60m he saw that it was made of some dull grey material and its
surface appeared completely smooth, without any visible joins. A
light was coming from the underside.</span></div>

forward again. This happened twice more in the 20 minute observation.
The thing got within 30m of Jim and then turned away to the left. At
this point a laser like red light came from its underside, apparently
probing the water. It then moved back to the centre of the reservoir,
from where it emitted a powerful beam at Jim, stunning him. When he
came to his senses it was daylight and the thing had gone. </span><br />

woman woke so see a red football sized object, which then
vanished. She thought it was ball lightning and went to another room
to open the window. When she returned to her own room she encountered
four humanoids about 1.75m high, of athletic build, long pale faces,
with long thin noses and mouths and elongated blue pupilled eyes.
They spoke to her in French, walked outside with her, where there
were other enities carrying black spheres. There they showed her
sepia coloured images of earth’s history. They declined
refreshments. At 0400hrs. they declared it was time that they left
and the woman escorted them to the door where she saw a dark oval
object, about 15m long, in which there was an opening from which came
a misty light, about 30m away. A gangway came down and the entities
entered through it, crossing the shed roof in the process. Once the
object had left with a faint whistling sound, the woman became very
afraidDuring the experience she was not able to wake her husband, her
dog was quiet, and she felt sluggish and devoid of will during the
experience. </span><br />

investigate. As he did so, he saw a stranger coming through the
fields. This person came across the dome and moments later ran off.
Moments later the strange object began to take off and saw that its
underside was the shape of a very shallow dish, and that the upper
dome was retreating into the main body of the thing, a sort of smoke
appearing as it did so. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
thing travelled low to the ground for a few metres and then took off
vertically only to stop and hover 20-30m above the hill. The “cupola”
re-emerged and then thing then took off to the south- south west,
giving the appearance of a brown pear shaped object. A neighbour
Bruno Stafforini (about 60) also saw the thing. Traces were found at
the site, and hens died a couple of days later. </span><br />

was visitors in a vehicle he got into his van and drove towards it.
When he pulled up, the light came up to him blinding and paralysing
him. When he recovered he saw four small beings, one of whom seemed
to be talking without moving its lips. One of the small beings was a
woman. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">He
then found himself, along with his van, inside an object, where one
of the beings calmed him by touching his arm. The beings explained,
via telepathy, that they needed a blood sample and undressed him and
pricked his arm twice. They then returned his things and the next
thing he remembered was coming to on top of his van on the road to
Villa Mirasol. There had been problems with telegraph transmissions
and with television reception at the time. </span><br />

Burtoo (77) was fishing on the banks of the Basingstoke Canal, with
his dog, and was just about to drink some tea, when he saw a bright
light descending. He first thought that it was an army helicopter. It
landed on the canal towpath some distance away and its light went
out. Some minutes later he was approached by two beings about 1.2m
tall, wearing green seamless overalls and facial visors. His dog
snarled at them, but they gestured for him to follow them. They led
him to a circular object, 12-13.5m diameter, on the path, and Alfred
went inside, into an octagonal room with a sliding door and black
walls floor and ceiling, where he was quizzed about his age, and told
to stand under an amber light. After a few minutes one of the beings
told him he was too old and infirm for their purpose and that he
could go. When he returned to his fishing rod, his tea was cold but
his dog acted normally. Shortly afterwards he saw the light take off.
An hour had passed. He then resumed his fishing. </span></div>

they saw circular object in the sky, which they lost sight of as they
turned into their home street. As they got out of their car they saw
a 9m diameter circular object surmounted by a dome, around which were
slat like openings, descend to 15-18m altitude in a gap between
trees. At each and of the object was a red light and the thing
emitted a noise like a soft whistle. They found that it was now 0410,

tall and was covered with dark shaggy hair. Its shoulders appeared to
be 75cm wide and its hair 10-15cm deep. It had a rather triangular
head, about 1 1/3 x that of a human. Its eyes seemed to glow and when
the torch beam hit them, they showed luminous green, which later
changed to a red. The men were so afraid that they left the area and
reported the matter to the police. A trail of broken vegetation was
found at the spot. </span><br />

be about 60-90m long, with a blue-grey metallic appearance. On the
underside was a sort of rectangular area 12-18m diameter, and its
perimeter was covered with softly glowing amber lights. The lights
ranged from about 25-35cm diameter and were about 1.2-1.5m apart and
1m from the object’s edge. As the object hovered overhead, emitting
a penetrating deep “whooping” sound, the witness became
frightened and tried to drive away at speed up to up to 135kph. He
would outpace the thing, then it would shoot overhead again; its
thumping sound going through him. The object was now down to 12m
overhead and he feared it would hit his roof. </span><br />

teenage boy cycling down a county road through a wooded area looked
to a field bordering the tree line about 5m away where he saw a large
creature sitting down. The thing then seemed to notice the boy and
stood up, revealing itself to be about 2.7m tall and to be a humanoid
covered in long grey hair everywhere except for its chest. The eyes
in its large round head seemed to glow with a green sheen and its
nose was flat. The thing’s arms hung down to the knees. After some

dark mass behind the trees. He got out to try and get a better view,
but his view was blocked by trees, so after a couple of minutes he
walked through them to the water line of the lake. He then saw a dark
triangular object hovering about 5m above the water, 60m away. As he
looked nine red lights came on the side of the thing, and a red light
or probe came from its underside and hit the water, seeming to throw
up some sort of screen. The object came moving from one part of the
lake to another, on each occasion letting down this probe. The thing
appeared to be about 30m long and 10 wide at its apex. Eventually the
thing took off at a 30 degree angle. </span><br />

disappeared behind moors, but reappeared some minutes later. At this

Irene Williams was sleeping un the spare room after working late. She
awoke in the night and went to look through the window. She saw the
face of a man looking in on her through the upstairs window, as if on
stilts. He had a roundish face, with an olive complexion, had short,
dark, curly hair and was dressed in a blue one piece suit. Suddenly
the figure appeared in her room. He told her to put the light off,
and seemed to illuminate the room. He approached, with two fingers
extended and then vanished, the room immediately becoming dark again.
Irene then went back to bed and fell asleep. She later felt that she
was experiencing telepathic messages from aliens. </span><br />

stopped and the cyclist was unable to move it forward. As the being
approached the cyclist, it changed from short and fat to tall and
thin. It then placed its right foot over its left knee, its right
hand on its left shoulder and its right arm up in the air. It then
just vanished. The witness was very shaken by this experience. </span><br />

Nelso Tasca (49) was driving back to Chapeco after visiting friends
at a ranch in Colonia Cella, when just before a Coca-Cola plant he
stopped. In the sky to his right was an object that he first thought
was a bus, but then saw that it was a circular object emitting beams
of white light. When it also started giving off heat Tasca turned
around and began walking back to his car, only to be sucked into the
thing by a beam of light. He awoke, naked, in a dark claustrophobic
place, which terrified him. He felt increasingly numb and then felt
invisible hands touching him. The room then became filled with light,
seeming emitted from the walls and ceiling. A woman, dressed in
pyjamas and slippers entered and delivered the usual contactee
messages by telepathy and gave Tasca a mission. Everything then
went dark and he had the feeling that small beings were escorting
from the scene into another room, where he again lost consciousness.
He came to on a rock near a factory and motorway. There were unusual
marks on his back. </span><br />

at a railway bridge, rose slightly and passed over the electricity

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">M Brown was cycling home from a friend when his bicycle lights failed. Looking up he saw a bright white light coming from the other side of a hill further along the road. He rode towards the hill, but when he was half way there, a luminous sphere rose from behind the hill and moved towards him. It hovered overhead for about 30 seconds and then rose at a 45 degree angle. The light dimmed and he could see the light came from a row of flashing lights on the underside of a spherical object, which then shot away. His bicycle lights them worked perfectly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rodney James (33) a lecturer in painting and decorating at Trowbridge College woke up to see a glowing, green-white figure at the foot of his bed. The figure spoke 'without using words' and delivered a standard message about aliens mating with earth people in times past, the earth splitting along a great rift etc., before fading away, like (an old fashioned) TV picture from the outside to the centre. Rodney felt at ease and there was no sense of aggression from the figure, which appeared to be composed of shimmering white light. It was the outside of a tall, stocky, humanoid figure, 2.1m tall. No facial features were visible and the limbs ended in
stumps.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Miss J was in the kitchen while the other members of her family were out. Her two dogs began to bark as she heard a high pitched hum that came and went. By 1405 it hurt her ears, so she went outside to investigate. She observed a silvery metallic egg shaped object in the sky, surrounded by an orange-red glow, flying at an angle, at 30m altitude. When it passed directly overhead she felt a vibration in the ground, and an odd chemical smell that first resembled sulphur, but then more like a strong sickly detergent. She felt an unusual tingly sensation all over her body, and went back into the house. 45 minutes later, while she was watching TV, the dogs again became noisy and, through the window she saw a halo like glow near the back door, and the hum returned along with the sulphurous smell. The red glow seemed to be a luminous solid tube several centimetres thick, the size of the kitchen sink. She then felt a malevolent presence beside her; when it left she felt giddy and sat down by the window where the tube seemed to be increasing size and coming toward that window. The buzz and smell increased in strength. The tube was about 23cm in diameter, 4.5m long when it reached the window. The smell faded and the hum ceased, but then the windows rattled and something like orange cigarette smoke was noted outside. The cooker although turned off at the mains was all switched on and overheating. Other members of the family later experienced a presence and poltergeist effects.

On either side of the main red light was a white oval spotlight. The thing appeared to be a triangle, 6m long, 4.5m wide at base. After hiding in Janine’s car, the two rushed inside to get two more witnesses, Kathy Clemens and Mary Huron. Another worker clocking out also saw the light. The lights then suddenly vanished.

It was a roughly dome-shaped object from which three red beams of light were projecting. On top was a sort of bent pipe. Two men stood in front of it, one had a peaked cap and two-piece uniform, the other, who was stooping, had a one piece silver-grey suit. The driver passed this object, thinking it was some sort of military vehicle. Shortly afterwards the truck lights went out, though the engine continued to run. He had no visual impression of the strange object now and his mind seemed to go hazy. He came to with a jolt some distance along the road. His memory of much of the rest of the journey seemed vague. He found an unexplained bruise on his leg and felt great fatigue.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Marilyn Anderson (37) was driving Rita Sobetski and four other woman (including a nun) home from a bridge party, when they observed a huge cluster of lights 60-90m above a bluff less than a block away. It consisted of 3-4 square white lights and a flashing red one. The observation lasted for 10 seconds. Marilyn ran back to a second car where another lady from the party was driving home alone, but this lady had not seen the lights. This lady (who did not want her name used) then continued on a separate way home near the Iowa School for the Deaf. As she pulled up at a stop at Longview Drive, her car engine, lights and radio all failed; she was, however, able to restart the car. She drove another 400m, then the sky turned a pink-orange and the car stalled again. She got out, and in a cornfield 300m to her left, an intense light, which hurt her eyes, appeared, so she jumped back into the car in terror. She then experienced a period of time loss. When she came to the car was turned sideways across the road, as though she had skidded on the ice, but she was unable to remember this happening. The vehicle gave no trouble as she drove home, from whence she could see the glow through her window. When she looked at the bathroom mirror, she saw her face was red and blotched and she had a temperature of 102 degrees, and was nauseous and sweating. She did not wake her husband but phoned her sister, who advised her to see a doctor. The redness sided down during the night and had gone by 0420. Her journey had taken 15-20 minutes longer than usual. No traces were found at the site.

It had a greater angular diameter than a star or planet. It paced his car, stopping and starting with him. When he arrived home he called his family and they saw the light hovering in the southern sky. It suddenly moved rapidly and silently to the west, where it was joined up by another light, which stopped directly under it, then headed north. A third light appeared and followed the second. The main light wad bright white, the others had one red light on top, three white on the bottom.

The main disk then titled slightly and moved off at speed over the rooftops towards the church. There was no sound during the observation, but a few hours before she and her daughter had heard a strange high pitched sound for they could find no explanation.

When he first went outside he could not see anything, but as he looked towards the sound he saw a large yellow cylinder 8-9m long, with a hemispherical underside about 30m up in the branches of a 70m tall cypress tree. He saw 30cm thick branches snap like matchsticks under its weight. He shone his flashlight on it but, because he had two children with him, he retreated to the house and called the police, but when they arrived the object had gone. The tree showed evidence of an impact sufficiently strong to loosen the roots and gouge the branches. The dogs would not approach the tree for two days and horses in nearby stables seemed frightened.

He felt paralysed and numb but warm and calm, and detected a sulphurous smell. Three figures emerged from the light, one approached and signalled its colleagues to stay back. The beings were human like, of average build, wearing dark metallic one piece suits, their faces covered by brown visors, their hands by dark material. The being spoke in a sort of a mixture of foreign languages, but then turned to telepathy, telling the witness that they were the original inhabitants of the earth and warning humans against polluting it and threatening apocalypse. The figure vanished leaving the witness weak and dizzy. Police were called but did not take him seriously.

Seconds later the light shot straight up in the air and exploded, just leaving a little red blinking light, which disappeared after a while. Scott’s eyes were bloodshot. Independent witnesses included Fred and Myrtle Bullivant, who observed it for 4 minutes from their porch and described it as a yellow-orange-red sphere, around the top of which smoke was whirling.

They fixed it and drove off. As they did so the engine kept misfiring, their fuel gauge and speedometer weren’t working and the object was following them. The engine finally failed and they coasted down the road while trying to switch to the second tank. This took some time, and when they succeeded the object had gone. The gauges were now working.

She had a four hour period of missing and vague memories of a close encounter. Under hypnotic regression by Leo Sprinkle, she remembered two white suited beings come out of one of the discs and mutilate a cow with a 45cm knife. She argued with them but was abducted as was her son. She was undressed and given a vaginal probe. This was interrupted by a tall human who appeared to have jaundice, and who apologised for her treatment. He took her on a tour of the ship, and was taken to an underground facility where there were vats full of human body parts. She and her son were subjected to bright lights and loud noises, before being taken, car and all, back to the place where she had been abducted.</span><br />

After hovering silently for a few seconds it shot off like a rocket further north and stopped, hovering, as a red blinking dot. His wife Pat (28) came out of their restaurant, also attracted by the orange glow. She became nauseous and vomited in the sink. Fred felt drained and began to sweat profusely. He drove off towards the light with his father but could not overtake it. Other residents saw the light from a distance. At 2400 Fred a saw a flashing multi-coloured light in the west. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Vivian Cruz Rodriguez (196) and her brother Jose Celso were asleep in their house on Calle Canales in the suburb of Buen Consejo. Vivian was awoken by the yelping of their small pet dogs which were asleep in Jose’s room. She also heard some zinc sheets in the patio being moved. Going to the window, she saw five figures moving about on the patio. Though they were human shaped they were definitely not human, so she awoke Jose and they both watched as the figures inspected the chicken coups. Two of the beings were 1.5m tall, the other three about 1m tall. The two taller beings were more human looking; slim, well proportioned, wearing tight, dark brown coveralls. Their heads were bare showing dark grey faces with large pointed ears, their bare hands were also grey and their fingers webbed. The smaller beings had broader chests. Both sets of beings had long arms, but in the smaller creatures these were pendant and forward hanging, giving an illusion of having hump backs. The bodies of these smaller creatures were covered with a sort of scaly material, full of small, dark brown, protuberances over the whole body, except for the hands and feet; their ears were also pointed. One of these small beings seemed to sense they were looking at it, and looked back straight at them. It had a grey, elongated face, pointed chin, pear shaped head, with large eyes that shone like an animal’s, and large eyelids. Its helmet had a sort of central crest on it.
All five wore helmets, and all moved around by little jumps, the two taller beings seeming to exercise control of the smaller ones. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Though the dogs were barking neither the hens, nor a goat tethered nearby seemed to be affected, even when the beings touched them. At one point one of the smaller beings took water from a neighbour’s duck bowl. After a time both Jose and the dogs became very sleepy and had to go back to sleep. The parents, in the other wing of the house, had also been awoken by the dogs, but when they attempted to get up and see what was going on, they had been struck by such an intense drowsiness that they couldn’t get out of bed. Before Jose went back to bed he saw that one of the taller beings, who he took to be the leader, was holding a silvery sphere. This being was inspecting a discarded car mirror, which it eventually put back. Back on her own, Vivian had a feeling that the beings would not harm her and had a desire to go out to them, but prudence dictated otherwise. Eventually after 30 minutes a car approached and the beings moved away. They moved a strange slow motion. Later two hens were found dead and on a zinc sheet near the car mirror the imprint of a webbed hand was found and the metal was very hot.

They had had a couple of drinks but were not intoxicated. They had pulled up for a short rest and the friend had dozed off. Rivera opened his eyes to see an illuminated object 12m away, standing on three supports. It had a large, silvery-aluminium coloured, metallic cupola, with a row of windows emitting a deep orange light. From an antenna on top of the cupola beams of white light were projected in various directions. Below the cupola was a central yellow area and below that a smaller inverted cupola in which there was an opening from which a small metallic ladder descended to the ground. Rivera then awoke his companion and they both saw the antenna descend into the machine, which alarmed them and they decided to drive away. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As Rivera started up the car and lights, they saw five strange figures moving on the slope of a nearby property. When they reached the edge of the property they floated just above the ground to the path and over a chain link fence, and, on arriving at their craft, entered through the ladder. The object then retracted its supports and rose silently in a pendulum motion, the central portion rotating, then shot off to the east at 45 degrees. The object was about 7.5m in diameter and about 3m high. There were two larger beings, one of which appeared to be a woman) and three smaller ones, who small medallions on their belts and collars hanging from their breasts. Their lips were thick and they had wide nostrils. One of the taller entities seemed to speak into a device, at which the medallions on the smaller beings lit up. In other respects the beings resembled those in the previous case.</span><br />

Because of its brightness she could only make out that the thing resembled a wingless piper cub, with three antennae projecting out towards the ground from the underside. She awoke her husband Wilson, and they went out onto the porch, but the object had moved North-West towards Sulphur Road, where it shot up and down and side to side before it disappeared from sight. As they watched they saw a much smaller object with multi-coloured lights close to the ground on Sulphur Road. They called the police but the objects had gone before they arrived.

They first thought it was a plane landing at Liverpool Airport, but were unable to make out the usual lights. Eventually they stopped and switched off the engine. As they light approached they could see if was shaped like a clover leaf with white lights on each of the four corners. There was no sound, and when the light turned and headed straight towards them they became unnerved and drove away from the area. Margery looked back and saw that the object, which was not hat shaped with an orange underside, appeared to be about to land in some fields. When the two women drove back, after dropping their friend off, they noticed another, red conical, object pacing the car, and drove away. Once on the journey to and twice on the journey back from Knowsley, they had to swerve to avoid a figure in a white mackintosh coat, with long grey hair and pale thin face, in the road, apparently oblivious to their presence. The next morning the car radio would not work and it was found a fuse had blown. No traces were found in the field.

After it had crossed about a quarter of their windscreen view at high speed it suddenly stopped. Steven got out and saw that the thing had an apparent length of 250mm with a depth of about 60mm. After a few minutes Steven got back in and they drove at about 15kph down the lane, switching between headlights and side lights. After a while the thing was lost to view and they drove on until they reached a lay-by where they turned to face Nunney Catch, from where Steven detected a glow on the horizon. They then drove back And forth down the lane until they saw, to their right, a brilliant vertical beam of light not far behind the trees. Driving around some more they encountered, after crossing a small, bridge, an object at 20 to 30 degrees elevation about two or three fields away and the apparent size of Steven’s thumb at arm’s length. From the centre of the thing’s base, a white beam of seemingly solid light was slowly descending. They watched this for some time, and then continued to drove, Steven asking Julie to make the sign of the cross. They continued for some time and then stopped again, at which the object rushed towards, descending to the height of electricity pylons and went over their car, disappearing in 2-3 seconds. </span><br />

He then became afraid and tried to accelerate but could get no power into his car, which kept cutting out for about a second. This happened four or five times in 15-20 seconds. He did not see any other road traffic, and the lights did not seem to light up the surrounding countryside. They stayed with the car for a while, then there was a flash and the lights were moving away into the distance. There was no further trouble with the car.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Patricia Dziomba (27) was motoring in the Mulhouse area when a brilliantly lit object shot out of the sky at terrific speed straight at her. She became frightened and turned round to go back the way she had come, only to find, shortly afterwards, the glowing sphere right in front of her. At a bend in the road, her car stopped and engine died, and she was unable to re-start it. Seeing a house about 200m away, she ran to it. The object was till there, flying around the house. When the owner, Michel Ludwizak, opened the door, he saw the sphere himself, in the distance. An unusual object was also seen by control tower staff at the Mulhouse-Basel Airport.

A few minutes later it shifted west, continued its diagonal motion and moved off into space until it was only a dim point of light.

Looking up the slope she saw something like a steel coloured ball bearing with striations along the surface, surrounded by a sort of heat haze, about 60-90cm wide. The thing began to move down the slope towards them, following the contours of the land, about 1m above the ground, making a low sub-sonic hum. It approached within 15m of the couple and then took off into the sky. Her husband said he had seen it, but decided they should flee the area.

He first thought it was a tower, then saw it was a solitary light with no substance behind it. He went under a bridge, slowing to 30 kph and winding his window down. On the other side he found himself level with a huge object no more than 90m away and at the height of an ordinary block of flats. It was surrounded by two shell like projections side by side, and from its underside it projected two beams of light that did not reach the ground. Unnerved, he first stopped then drove on home. Just before he left the scene, he saw red –pink jets of flame, one behind each shell. He hurried on about 1km to his turn off, still seeing the pink lights. He
returned to the site with his mother but nothing could be seen. </span><br />

When they stopped the light stopped also. As they reached Bury St Edmunds, the light seemed to 'jump' across the road and disappear. They then began to get the impression that the countryside was 'wrong' and the journey taking much longer than expected. Before long they found themselves in an area of fog or smoke that seemed to seep up from the ground. They also saw a number of lorries moving eastwards through the fog, giving the impression that they were
driving themselves.
When they reached Baldock they settled in for the night but at 0045 Sarah was started by a red light flashing across the sky. Marion then felt impelled to go into the garden from where she saw an object the size of a house, with red, brick shaped lights, along its top and bottom, and with brilliant white lights along the side, travelling to east behind some barns. This was also witnessed by the 11 year old. As the thing descended, its white lights seemed to diminish in size, and they could see that it was a disc surmounted by a dome. It appeared to land in cornfields about two fields away from their location. Dogs in the neighbourhood began barking and a bright white light flashed across the sky. The family later experienced poltergeist effects.

The woman felt tired and confused and forgot the incident. She had nightmares of being taken by aliens.

They were out hunting 200m from the house, and reached a small paddock sloping gently up from a valley. As they were making their way slowly up, they noticed a white star with a much large angular diameter than Venus at 20 degrees to the west. They soon lost interest, but at 2230 they were returning when, as one boy raised his rifle to shoot a bandicoot, he noticed two areas of light appear on the grass out of nowhere. These lights were squarish, 30cm or so wide, and circled each other aimlessly around the paddock. The boys then noticed a ball three quarters the angular diameter of the moon 30m away and about 20-30m above the ground, over the trees. One boy hid behind a bush, waiting for the other to shine his light so they could avoid traps, but a few seconds later the ball grew in size as if approaching, so they fled. This latter part of the observation lasted about one minute.

Outside, looking at the lamp, were two young looking people, one male, the other female. They were unusually tall, well proportioned, with short, black curly hair and wore extremely tight grey clothing, which resembled down. What struck Juan the most however was that each had a sort of wound on their forehead. The male being then tried to enter through the unlocked door, and as Juan grabbed its hand to resist, he found his own had severely burned. The beings then walked away from the scene. Juan’s hand was covered with vivid red spots or prick wounds. Contested trace marks were found.

Shortly afterwards there was a terrific flash of light. AK thought there had been a nuclear explosion and went back to sleep, waking very late with a terrific headache. His wife, sleeping in another room, was also awakened by the brilliant flash and heard a buzzing sound from the open window. Switching on the bedroom light, she saw red marks on her arms. Terrified she put her head under the blankets and went to sleep. Next morning the red marks had gone.

It then changed course and dropped into the water without making a splash. It had been unlit and they had only seen that it was vaguely lighter than the sky, but as it floated on the water an interior light came on, giving the upper portion a uniform yellow illumination. Kevin yelled at it, whereupon its light went out. He wanted to swim towards it, but Jill was scared and they left for home. The observation lasted for 5-10 minutes.

They were so low close that she wondered if they were going to crash, but then they stopped at hovered at treetop level. The higher of the two lights gradually faded out from top to bottom. The second thing turned on its side and shone a beam towards the ground for 5 minutes before resuming its original horizontal posture and disappearing in the same manner as the first. Five minutes later Janet stepped outside and noticed that the natural rural noises were absent and that her dog was quiet. Two minutes later the outside noises resumed. No traces were found.

She saw nothing at first, but when she switched off the back door light, she saw a round, bright, blue-white circular object, with white lights flashing around it, hovering over the treetops 150m away. It was the size of a house and virtually soundless. She re-checked a couple of times, but it was still there. She then went to bed. It became very bright at the rear of the house (she put this down to the moon, until next day, when was told there was n0 moon that night) and heard an engine sound. The next day a ring of discoloured grass, 6m diameter was found in the field where the thing had hovered. The grass was brown and slightly depressed but not burnt.

phosphorescent glow about 8m long, 2m high, with a white light containing a red flickering centre on either

disappearing from view.

(15m altitude), over an adjacent field, 45-60m away. The object was 15m tall, the bulbous end was 7.5-9m wide.
The whole mass was lit by a white incandescent glow, which did not seem to illuminate the surroundings. From
its right hand bottom edge, the object projected a beam of light towards the ground at a 45 degree angle. The
witness then suffered an apparent time lapse (perhaps of only a few seconds), and came to crouching in the
bushes in terror. He had no feeling in his legs and his hair was pricking. After about 5 seconds the object
vanished. He ran home through the bushes, rather than on the path, for cover. He reported the matter to the
local newspaper and police when he arrived home. Both reporters and police testified to his shocked state. Two
newspaper employees, who were unaware of the incident, were on the same path an hour later and observed a
bright meteor.

moments later, now pulsating. They now saw that the lights were on some underwater object and fled the scene.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mrs Gatward woke up and was unable to get back to sleep. She noticed a white light moving past her window,
which light appeared to be on an object which halted at times. There was also a red flashing light and she
first thought that they were on an aircraft, but then realised they were on something at rooftop height no more
than 25m away. She switched on the bedroom light and tried to alert her husband, but he was not interested.
Returning to the window, she saw the lights were on a bullet shaped object, the apparent size of a matchbox at
arm’s length, with light beams shining from the front and rear and with a red flashing light mounted on the
rear. There were no appendages and she could not hear any sound. She estimated its size as that of the average
UK family car of the period, about 2m long, 70cm wide. The white lights at its rear could be seen around its
circumference as it moved off westwards. When the object had gone she felt cold from standing by the open
window. Next morning she awoke feeling nauseous, with a tingling in her arms that lasted for a few hours, and
for 30 minutes she heard a roaring in her left ear unlike her usual tinitis. She was unable to eat until 1400.
She attributed these effects to radiation. She also felt that she should not discuss the incident.

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mrs M.E., a young woman with a bachelor’s degree in education, was driving, in a great hurry, home from her
mother’s, a distance of about 110km, still in her nightclothes, as her two year old daughter had developed a
severe earache She had travelled about 50km and was near the three bridges on Lake Fork Creek when her radio
started to drift from one channel to another. As she turned it off, she was assailed by a loud electrical noise
that hurt her ears, her car lights dimmed and the car appeared to be lifted off the highway. She fastened the
little one to the seat and looked out of the window to see the tops of pine trees below the car being blown as
if by a wind. She then looked up to see the metallic bottom of an object with a double row of lights. The car
was drawn in through an opening to a circular, brightly lit, room, with no apparent source of illumination. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">As
she sat there in panic saw bright lights and smelled something like rain. A voice in her head told her to pick
up the child and get out of the car. An opening appeared across the room and a sort of vapour rolled towards
them. A little creature appeared and again told them to get out. When she refused the car door fell off the
hinges. M.E. felt quite calm. The being walked with a peculiar fluid motion which made the little girl laugh.
It was a dwarf with a large head, no ears, oval eyes without either eyebrows or lashes, and a broad nose with
two apertures on the upper surface, slit mouth, thin neck, completely hairless body, four long fingers on each
hand, horizontal naval and no visible genitals. She was unable to tell whether its putty like surface was its
skin or a tight fitting suit.
They entered a roundish room, the floor of which was covered by mist, and in which were tables, multi-coloured
lights and two other figures. M. E. and her daughter were clamped onto peculiarly wet tables, as two probes
with ball and socket joins came down from an upper dome. When ME protested about the probe touching the sick
child she was told that the child was no longer sick. ME was naked on the table. She was then moved into a
vertical position from where she could see peculiar writing on the wall and a sort of screen on which a
kaleidoscope of colour was moving. Through a window she could see two stars. The clamps were realised and they
went into another misty room in which there was a triangular bed and a drawer in which a sort of pill was kept
as food. She ate these and slept 10 times. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">She was visited by the three beings, who said she could ask any
three questions about the universe. Both questions and answers were banal. She was led through a corridor, put
back in the car, which was set down on the ground again. She found herself driving automatically only about 5
minutes from home. She was extremely dizzy when she got there and became withdrawn, losing 14 pounds in weight.
After another UFO experience three weeks later she became panic stricken and sold the car. The garage claim
that the door had indeed been taken off at some point. Much of this story came out under hypnotic regression
and precisely what detail was otherwise remembered is not clear. The little girl’s earache and a rash on her
thigh both cleared up.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">On an island off the coast of Estonia, a worker was checking some instruments in the factory yard when his
attention was caught by a strange object on the ground 30m away. Thinking it was something left behind by a co
-worker he approached it. This object he now saw was a cylinder sending out flashes of multi-coloured light.
Next to it was a black cube about 50 x 50 x 50cm, surmounted by a much smaller cube, from which came a rotating
tube. After about 20 seconds the upper cube turned and revealed two holes, from one of which came a warm orange
light that knocked the witness back and over. He landed without hurting himself as though the ground was soft.
The bright tube then changed shape into a disc surmounted by a dome. This then flipped over, revealing its dark
underside and then vanished. The witness was then able to get up and return to work. He felt unwell for about
20 minutes after the incident.

He was unable to restart the car and then saw an orange light in the distance, seemingly rotating around some
circular object. While he was taking this in, he saw, standing 4m to his right, a small being no more than
1.35m tall, dressed in a silvery suit. A metallic voice came through his radio speakers said that the being
would not come nearer and that it came from Zeta Reticulli and that they would meet again in 1981. The being
then walked away through the corn, the light grew brighter and took off before suddenly disappearing. The car
then started normally. He drove home, where his wife asked him not to speak of the incident, which was only
revealed through a work colleague. </span><br />

taking a taking a pregnant woman, Elzbieta Pluta (15), from Zulawka to Sztum, when, near the village of Tropy,
Barbara noticed a large red ball. It was dark crimson and the angular diameter of the moon and as it moved on
an oblique course to the road. NE-SW, it came within 500m of the ambulance, and thence to treetop height only
150m away. At Kawla they accelerated up to 130kph but the ball stayed with them.
At the railway crossing between Kawla and Szum, it appeared suddenly 200m ahead of them, though they had no
perception of it passing them. It overlapped the 6m wide road by 50cm on either side. The surface of the ball
displayed curved bands and stripes, with a mass of irregular black lines, like a net of veins.
The ambulance people called two girls on level crossing patrol, Jozefa Kaminska and Gabriela Ludorf, who were
leaning out of the window, who confirmed that they too were watching this object. At this point Barbara called
the police to come and clear the road, whereupon the ball, still brightening and dimming, moved slowly to the
right behind a tree, and up a summit, lighting up the area. Getting desperate the crew flashed the headlights
and as they moved forward the sphere vanished like a TV set being turned off. No traces were found. </span><br />

next room. Linda refused to come out so Mrs Repp awoke her mother and both women observed what appeared as a
bright yellow-white oval light surrounded by a yellow-green glow, as if moved up and down, back and forth 4
times over an angle of 3-4 degrees. Several yellow, green and red flashing lights were attached to its surface.
The night was unusually silent except for a humming sound like a swarm of bees. The older woman was not
impressed and returned to bed. The light then went down behind trees. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">From his ranch home a few kilometres south of Anderson, electrician Jerry McAlister (41), convalescing with a
broken leg, was awakened by a loud screech. Hobbling to the south east facing bedroom window, he saw a huge
round seamless object hovering above backyard trees 33m away. He estimated the diameter of the thing as at
least 27m. Surrounding its perimeter were hundreds of brilliant steady white lights, which illuminated the
yard, rotating in a clockwise direction. Around its centre was a row of square white windows, through which he
could see, but not to make out any interior features. The lower half of the object resembled black steel. The
object rotated and wobbled bout 8m above his 12m tall pine trees for three minutes. He awoke his wife Faye (34)
and eldest daughter Shirley (18), who saw the object receding east-north east, the lights still rotating round
it. As the object tilted flashing red lights were seen on the underside. The object receded into the
distance.A description of the object in the distance supplied by 14 people might have been of Venus.Though
Jerry claimed that his ears were ringing with the with the sound from the object for three days, neighbours
only heard a muffled sound, if anything at all. Jerry suffered from red burning eyes, swollen glands in the
neck and a headache the following day. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">50km to the north of Anderson, retired power company worker Larry Garrett (40) was working on a car outdoors
when he heard a sound like a swarm of bees and, looking to the north in a cloudy sky, saw a huge domed object,
with a row of dark windows, which looked ruby red when illuminated by the sun. The object was estimated to be
25-30m in diameter, was a grey-purple metallic colour and was hovering just above some tall oak trees on a hill
to the north. It then drifted further north and out of sight behind the trees. It was observed for 35-40
seconds. There were no other witnesses. </span><br />

along with three other children who were asleep, home from Springfield (Mass), south on Rt32 near I-86, when
they observed a pancake shaped form 45 degrees above the SE horizon. Milt saw it was surrounded by an orange
rim of light, greyed down by surrounding haze, surmounted by a clear dome, also seen by Constance. Milt alone
observed a bald or helmeted head in the dome. The whole object was the angular diameter of the harvest moon.
Constance and her mother saw lighted areas separated by dark spaces. All agreed that it was tilted up on one
side as it flew towards the car at 80kph. They did not look back and the observation only lasted 4 seconds.

the window in time to see the 1.8-2.3m wide light move from the trees to directly over the front yard. It
hovered and moved fast in all directions without a sound. Just before daybreak Laura and Lisa went to see if
the light was attached to anything. At that the light went straight up, hovered just below the clouds and
disappeared. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>ROSEDALE (VICTORIA : AUSTRALIA)</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">George Blackwell (54) the farm hand and caretaker of the 600 acre “Whiteacres” property, 8km from Rosedale was
awakened by a screeching or buzzing sound and heard a disturbance among the stock, so went out through the back
door to investigate. From the back veranda rail he observed an object pass between a cypress and a silo shed,
150m away, only about 2.5m above the ground. He first thought that it was a plane in distress, but as it
emerged into clear view, he saw that it was a domed object with a white top, about 8m diameter, 4.5m high, with
orange and blue lights on its surface.
The object moved over the property and then headed towards a concrete 10,000 gallon water tank about 400m away.
The object seemed to rise up and hover on or just above this tank for about a minute before it rose again for a
short distance and landed on the ground some 15m to the north of the tank.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">George then went and got dressed and set out on his motorcycle to the paddock where the object had landed. He
drove to within 10-15m of it, feeling very trembly as he approached and hearing a whistling sound all the
while. From this distance the thing seemed to consist of a white dome, atop a large orange base, around which
were circular windows or lights about 27cm in diameter and 3m apart. Both sections seemed to be rotating in an
anti-clockwise direction.
After 2-3 minutes the noise rose to a scream, like a jet landing, forcing George to put his hands over his
ears. A sort of black tube appeared around the base, seemed to inflate to an enormous size, just beyond the
periphery of the object, which then took off with a tremendous explosion and gradually rolled out of the
landing site, while George was almost knocked off his bike by a blast of hot air. As the bike’s headlights
illuminated the base, he was able to see the black tube apparently deflating towards the base, around the rim
of which he could see six evenly spaced V shaped spokes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At about 10m from this site and 2.5-3m altitude, the
object fell silent and debris fell from the base. As George rode up to the landing site, he saw the object move
away to the east of 30m altitude
George’s watch kept stopping after the incident. Immediately after the encounter he had noticed a ring of black
flattened grass, and next day when he went to the site, he found in the paddock of yellow flowers there was a
45cm wide ring of black flattened grass, in a circle 8.4m in diameter. In the centre of the circle there was
only green grass, the flowers appeared to have been removed. The 10,000 gallon tank was found emptied. In the
days following the incident George had headaches from 1100-1500 each day, had vomiting and diarrhoea after his
daytime but not his evening meals and woke at night in a sweat. </span><br />

diameter of the moon came out of the eastern sky. It came to within 75m at 60m altitude and was soundless.
Through a long window in one facet of the triangle five figures were visible from the waists up. They appeared
to be 1.5m tall, nude, with white skins, long necks, elongated heads, large slanted eyes and slit like mouths.
He thought their eyes betrayed fear and tried to telepathically reassure them. They replied telepathically;
“why do you hate the Iranians”. The object then drew closer before flying off into the NE darkness. During the
experience the officer’s FM radio displayed intermittent interference that ceased when the object left. The
car’s engine and lights pulsated and dogs in the area howled. During this time, the witness suffered from light
headedness, sluggishness and watery eyes. He continued to feel sluggish with a headache, afterwards. He
absolutely refused to let his name be used. </span><br />

“star” low in the SW, where it was later determined that there was a heavy cover of cloud. During the next 15
minutes she kept trying to look at this “star” between tasks. Meanwhile, her husband, returning from the fields
of the 255 acre farm on his tractor, realised that an unusual object was pacing him and arrived home very
shaken. Mrs X looked out and saw something landing In a field behind the barn. Going to investigate, she
noticed that the “star” had gone, but she now saw an unusual object hovering in a field 60 away, about 6m above
the ground. It then moved slowly forward and upwards, going g 6m above the barn, pigs in its acting up as it
did so, but calming when it was gone and past.
As the object came slowly towards the house, Mrs X stayed outside and saw that it consisted of two spheres of
white light, about 1m in diameter, about 3.5m apart, with a flashing light at the back. Though the white lights
were very intense they did not illuminate the surroundings. She got the impression these lights were on some
dark object, but the farm security lights did not illuminate it, and she could not make it out. The lights
moved past with a very faint whistle. AS neighbour saw a lighted object over their barn at this time. Another
neighbour, her teenage daughter, and a friend of the latter were driving about 30km away when they saw a silent
low flying object. </span><br />

while and it suddenly appeared directly overhead with four lights shining from the underside, and a huge beam
from the front, which shone on the car. As they drove home, this object followed them, overhead and left with a
loud hum as they ran into the house. The object was 18m long and the beam was a powerful blue-white. </span><br />

hover 5-6m above it, 100m from the bank, rise slowly to a height of 200m, stop for four minutes and then turn
left and leave at moderate speed towards the ocean. It resembled a solid non-luminous cloud about 5m in
diameter. On the opposite bank it came within 30m of Francisco Silveira, where it stopped as if watching him.

circular light in a neighbour’s arable field. It moved smoothly round the roughly ploughed field, moving to and
fro, giving the impression of exploring. The light was so bright that it hurt their eyes to look at it. There
was no sound and the animals were not affected. After a number of minutes the light vanished, only to reappear
further across the field. It continued to do this, covering a wide area, so that the witnesses became afraid
and went back towards the house. As they did so the light followed them, illuminating their back wall. It was
gone by 0300hrs. </span><br />

thought were two flashing airplane lights coming right at her from the east. She could not hear any noise, but
fearing a crash, pulled over. The two lights swerved so that they were again facing her, approached at extreme
speed and halted 10m away. Behind the two lights, she could make out a dark solid, dome shaped object, hovering
about 1.5m above the ground. The object was 1.5m high and 1.5m wide. Two additional steady lights on the top of
the object then came on, followed by smaller steady lights all over it. She found herself enveloped in silence,
not even able to hear the radio, which she had turned up, and experienced a floating feeling and a sensation of
being drawn towards the lights. She resisted this sensation but then had the feeling that she would see the
object again. It then shot up, veered north, shot up again and then turned to the west until it eventually
disappeared from view. All the lights, except the two flashing ones, went out as it did so. She appeared
disorientated and confused and when she arrived home she found that the trip had taken 15 minutes longer than
normal. The observation had only seemed to last a couple of minutes. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A couple were driving home to Longmont when their car was struck by a blue light beam and they heard a swishing
sound as loud as a jet taking off. Their car lights dimmed and the radio developed static then faded out. They
then felt the rear of the car lift up from the road. The light and sound then disappeared and they continued
their journey at 80kph. Looking at their watches they discovered an hour unaccounted for. On reaching a petrol
station, the man, getting out of the car was disorientated. The following day he found a rectangular mark on
his abdomen.
Under hypnotic regression the male witness recalled that the car was transported into the vicinity of a large
domed object. The car was surrounded by a red mist with a strong odour. A door opened in the domed object, they
were drawn in, greeted by a grey skinned being with a “long” head and long thumbless hands , which seemed to be
able to read his mind. The man was then placed on a table, which seemed to have materialised out of gas. There
he was scanned by a floating light, felt that the entity was “in tune with his mind”, spots on his skin were
burning. Both he and his wife were naked, and she was screaming. He also felt that his memory was taken out of
him, then returned with additional information. After the examination the couple were allowed to leave the
craft and return to their car, still suspended in space. The blue light then surrounded the car again and it
was returned to the road. The man claimed they had given him extra strength and knowledge but he did not want
this. The wife refused hypnotic regression and the couple later left without leaving a forwarding address.

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Evaluation: the story under regression is a typical piece of hypnotic confabulation and seems to rely
on ufological motifs. The alleged percipient approaches someone who does hypnotic regressions to uncover UFO stories, so one
assumes that is what he sought. The motifs of additional strength and responsibility may reflect his wife
having a dangerous pregnancy and premature baby. </span></span></li>

through her window. Her husband could not be roused by her shaking him. Looking through the window she saw an
orange oval mass, surrounded by a white light, hovering above a nearby field. Suddenly she found herself
walking on the landing, then sitting on the grass outside, looking at the oval and three entities beside it.
She felt numb all over. The three figures were 1.5m tall and dressed in one piece diving suits, though she had
the impression that the suits were green She then found herself back in bed. This time she was able to wake her
husband, but the object had gone. Twenty minutes had passed, though the incident only seemed to last moments.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mario Luisi (36), a mill worker unemployed through sickness, was walking in a field near his home, despite the
terrible conditions of the night, when he noticed, by a tree, something he first thought was a livestock
shelter. He then illuminated it with his battery lantern and saw it was a strange object hovering about 1m
above the ground. It was like a stone grey “squashed in” aircraft or helicopter, about 5m long, 2.5m wide, with
a dark glass canopy top which had insignia on the front and rear, and was not luminous. Towards the front was a
sort of door with a step underneath it. Mario then turned his flashlight to where he had heard footsteps in the
mud. There was a brilliant flash of light that came from a pencil like object held by a female figure. This hit
the lantern like a flash from a flame thrower, smashing the glass and warping the metal reflector. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">However
Mario felt no impact and was able to keep hold of the lantern. He saw there were two figures, one male, the
other female, about 1.65m tall, dressed in dark one piece suits with broad middle belts. They had “beautiful”
faces; the woman appearing very feminine and wearing a dark cape over her shoulders. They had pale faces and
blond, shoulder length “page boy” style hair, but he was unable to make out other features. Despite the driving
rain they appeared to remain dry with unruffled hair. The woman spoke to him in perfect English and told him
that they came in peace and he was not to be afraid, but that he should not describe the markings on their
craft or suits. Mario’s legs felt paralysed but he could move the rest of his body. The beings clambered into
the craft through the door, and it took off vertically into the clouds, through which it appeared as a blue-
white glow. Mario then found that he could move and ran home to report the matter to the police. A neighbour
contacted the press. Mario suffered from anxiety and stomach pains and would not leave the house for some time</span><br />

which hovered 30 above a field 180m away. It was about 1.5 x the angular diameter of the full moon. Nigel felt
unusually alert during the observation, but tired and empty afterwards, though he had a sense of achievement.

into the garden. There she saw a tree and the garage bathed in a white light, which came from a yellow rounded
object, with a central flange, hovering just above the tree. This object rotated through 360 degrees, its
rotation seemingly to be connected with the hum. The object then descended slightly and stopped rotating. She
called to her husband, but he was still engrossed in the still disturbed TV set. The object, no longer humming,
swayed like a pendulum for 90 seconds, and then shot up and vanished. The 6m diameter object had been in view
for about 5 minutes at about 25m altitude. Mrs Reeves went back inside to pore herself a drink. The
interference on TV continued, and when she called her two cats in, they suddenly froze as the humming returned,
then they fled into hiding. The humming lasted a few more minutes. The TV interference continued for about 10
minutes. No one else noticed anything unusual. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Police Constable Alan Godfrey (33), on routine patrol, was about to turn off the A646 when he observed an
object lighting up the area 200m ahead. Thinking it was a vehicle blocking the road, he drove up to
investigate, but when he got within 30m he realised that he was confronting a sort of drum or barrel shaped
object with a flattened top and more rounded bottom. It emitted fluorescent light from its top, and had a row
of dark square windows beneath this. The object was rotating in an anticlockwise direction and appeared to be
white. It spanned the road at an altitude of 1.5m, being about 6m diameter. Its top came to within 60cm of the
tips of two lamp stand arcs, enabling its height to be estimated as 3.6m. As Alan watched, he saw that the top
was stationary while the lower part was rotating. Leaves on nearby trees were shaking. He was able to observe
it for about a minute and sketch it on his clipper pad. He tried to radio for base but could get nothing, not
even static either on VHF or UHF. Suddenly he found himself further down the road, beyond where the object had
been hovering. Looking back, he saw that it was no longer there. He was now moving forward but had no
recollection of moving out of neutral. He then heard a voice in his head saying “This is not for your eyes
Godfrey … you will forget it”. </span><br />

outside Halifax, 13km to the east, had been startled by a fireball that seemed to swoop low over their car
towards Todmorden. At 0545 a school caretaker at Todmorden observed a blue white ball of light streak into the
sky from ground level. Under hypnotic regression, Alan recalled getting out of his car and being hit by a
brilliant light from the object. He returned to the car, which would not start. He was hit by a beam again and
all went black. He awoke in a room with a table being faced by a bearded being 1.8m tall, dressed in a white
robe and skull cap. He gathers that this figure is called Joseph or Yosef. . They then joined by 1-1.2m tall,
“lamp faced”, quite inhuman creatures, who speak among themselves in a whistling voice. Them a strange dog, the
size of an Alsatian entered the room. “Yosef” led Alan onto a dark leathery bed or couch, where he was
subjected to an investigation by instruments he could not describe. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Peter Farrell and his family, the owners of South Bottomley Farm, saw a light, which they first thought was a
helicopter flying below the hill line in the nearby valley, bobbing up and down. On a closer look it was an
oval object with a raised section on top, and was surrounded by red, green and amber lights. The thing moved
silently, approached an electricity pylon, hovered for a moment and then reversed its course. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">While driving north with her husband on Hw. 57, about 15km south of McLain, Janice Lowrey (19) saw in the east
an illuminated ball that slowly approached the car at eye level and came briefly over the right side of the
bonnet. From a distance of only 1m it appeared to be 30cm in diameter, solid, sharply outlined and self-
luminous, however it was not bright enough to illuminate the bonnet. It was white, with a blue tint in the
centre and soundless. It did not hit the car but turned back to the east so rapidly that Janice could not
follow it in the clear sky. Her observation lasted for 10 seconds. Her husband, Robert (25), did not see the
object but he noticed that the headlights dimmed, their horn ceased working, and the seat belt buzzer came on
even though he was sure he had removed it when he first purchased the car. The radio lost its station and the
heater quit. These effects persisted for the remainder of the 25 minutes journey but when he re-examined the
car 30 minutes later it was found to be working normally. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A security patrol at the USAF base at RAF Woodbridge saw unusual lights apparently land in the forest outside
the base perimeter. Sgt James Penniston and Airman John Burroughs and another man went to investigate and saw a
metallic triangular object in the forest, 2-3m long, 2m high, which illuminated the forest with its white
light, surmounted by a red one, and with a row of blue lights underneath. It appeared to be on legs and, as the
men approached, it moved away through the forest. In later years Penniston said he approached and touched a
triangular craft 3m long, 2m high in a clearing, and to have made notes, taken photographs and noted and
sketched symbols on the craft
The next night a party led by Colonel Charles Holt inspected the forest after a military police patrol reported
that the object was back. Halt and his colleagues saw a small red light, which seemed to approach then split
into smaller white lights.
Traces and increased levels of radiation were reported. </span><br />

then walked to the edge of the road, followed by a second figure. Both were dressed in long cloaks with hoods
over their faces, and appearing to hold something in front of them. She watched until the car, passed then
turned round but the figures had vanished. Her companions did not see them. The figures seemed solid but unreal

Caney to Dayton on HW 1485, when near Huffman a fiery diamond object, the size of the city water tank,
descended to treetop level over the road ahead of them. They heard a beeping noise that persisted through the
experience. From the object’s underside red-orange flames were periodically directed towards the road, with an
audible whoosh. Betty stopped, afraid to drive under the object and they got out to watch. They were struck by
the brilliant glow, strong heat and a roaring noise. Colby became terrified and he and Vicky got back into the
car, while Betty remained watching. Finally the object rose away to the south west, seemingly pursued by about
20 helicopters. The previously cool car was now hot. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Betty drove Vicky and Colby home, and then carried on to
her home, feeling ill. Almost immediately she began to suffer from a swollen neck, head and facial blisters,
swollen earlobes and eyelids, the latter so severe that she could not see for several days. Within four days
she was suffering from nausea and diarrhoea so severe that she could not eat and had to be hospitalised for 15
days, where she also suffered from severe loss of hair. Even after discharge she continued to suffer from
swellings, headaches and lack of appetite so that she was re-admitted after just a week. By the end of February
she suffered from continuous headaches and tiredness such that she was unable to work. Vicky and Colby also
suffered from stomach aches and diarrhoea. Colby suffered eyeburn and extreme anxiety, Vicky tingling in the
scalp and some hair loss.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A security policeman at Bentwaters Base, Larry Warren alias Art Wallace was picked up by other troops and taken
to a place in the Rendlesham Forest, where there were a large number of service personnel surrounding as
transparent tablet shaped object, 15m diameter, hovering 30cm above the ground, emitting a pulsing, misty
yellow light. A red light approached this thing, hovered 6m above it for some minutes, before dissolving into
fragments. The tablet shaped object now transformed into a bright white domed disc with an intricate surface,
highlighted by the military’s lights. As the men walked around the thing, their shadows seemed to precede them
and apparently wait for them to catch up. Warren then lost consciousness, awaking at 0400, his memory of the
night only gradually reappearing. </span><br />

year old woman had a feeling that there was something unusual in a
friend’s garden. On investigating she encountered a figure 3m tall
with a small head, dressed in a silvery suit. It emitted a glow,
which lit up the surroundings, and she had a sensation of electricity
coming from the figure. It suddenly vanished. </span></div>

Suddenly either the engine went out or could not be restarted. The

blinding red, maroon and yellow light accompanied by a sound like the
buzzing of bees, which went as quickly as it came. When the Marti
family had recovered their wits, Filberto had disappeared though
there was nowhere on the desolated terrain he could hide. The car
could now start, thought it was almost out of gasoline. Filberto was
reported missing, but turned up in a dazed condition in the middle of
the road about 25km south of where he had vanished, at 2000hrs. He
claimed he had been swept about 1m of the ground by the light and had
then lost consciousness. He complained on his return of various
medical problems and a fear of being contaminated by radiation. Under
hypnotic regression he talked of being taken by three human like
entities, dressed in tight white suits, to a beach, where a lock on a
rock was opened, revealing a tunnel, from where they rushed down to
the sea at great speed. One of the entities spoke to Filberto in
Spanish with a Portuguese accent, gave him various prophecies and
pseudo-scientific talk, and with a message that “they” would
return in August. They didn’t. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mrs
Megan Quezet, a housewife in the her 30’s who had undertaken but
not completed nurse training, and her son Andre (12), who had been
unable to sleep, heard their convalescent dog barking. Before they
could quieten it, it had escaped from the garden and got right to the
top of the road, where it was sat barking with the other dogs. As
they looked at the dog they saw a pink glow above the top road 12m
further along. Fearing a light plane crash, they scrabbled through
the rough embankment to the top road. As they approached they became
increasingly bemused by the intense pink light. As they got onto the
road, they saw it was shaped like a vertical egg from which the
bottom part had been cut away and was standing on four legs, 1.2m
high, 10cm thick, terminating in pads. The object was 3.7m high, 5m
wide, smooth and metallic grey. There was a light on either side of
an opening in the side of the object, and another on top. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Megan still
thought it was an unusual aircraft, and as they walked closer,
talking in whispers, five or six men emerged from the opening. One or
two went to the left hand side away from the witnesses, two remained
near the centre, and the other two came to their side. One of the men
near them was talking in a high pitched sing-song voice, the other
answered in monosyllables. One of the men on the far side bent down,
picked up some sand from the verge and let it fall though his
fingers. These beings were dressed in one piece white suits. All but
two of them had their heads covered by the suits, with just visors.
Of the two with uncovered heads, only the one nearest could be seen
clearly. He had dark curly hair, dark “oriental” eyes and a
beard. The beings were about 1.58m tall. Then the other man nearest,
who was talking, saw them, said something to his companion and
stepped back. The man with the beard stared at Megan and Andre,
uttered some three syllable sound and bowed. Megan felt drawn to him,
and fancied his eyes were translucent. Now unnerved, she told Andre
to run and get his father, whom they had not disturbed on account of
his bad health. The two beings conversed in monosyllables then just
stepped into the door, though it was 1.2m above the ground. When it
was closed, there was a buzzing sound like bees, the legs elongated
to about three times their original length, then, as Megan stood,
unsure of what was happening, the legs telescoped into the craft,
and, after hovering for a second or two, the object shot off into the
sky. Andre, who had only got part way home, returned to the scene.
They did not tell his father Paul about the event until the next
morning. No traces were found. There was an apparent 30 minute time
gap. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Under hypnotic regression Megan said that the man with the beard
had hypnotised her with his eyes, and invited her inside against her
protests. Inside were chairs, panels and a central table. Megan
became agitated and leapt out. The men spoke in an unknown language
but she was able to understand them through telepathy. They told her
something she was unable to remember. Though the reporting
investigator gave a positive assessment of the case, a second
independent investigator and the psychiatrist dealing with the
regression gave negative assessments </span><br />

very thin mouths. Their wings were rainbow coloured but “more
beautiful than our earthly colours” and covered in dots. They were
floating around the lounge, touching everything. When challenged they
said they would not harm her and that they came from the sky. A
bizarre childish conversation about religion and the honours list
then ensued. They bounced up and down on the couch, like children.
When scolded they turned the light out, and Jean became wary. Each
time they spoke they pressed their chests and a bleep sound came out.
They floated about, inspecting the household equipment. Jean asked if
they wanted a drink and they asked for water. They increased the
light while they drank, so she could not see them, but the glasses
were empty when they had finished. They also said they had been to
different parts of the world but no one took any notice, but agreed
that Jean could tell her story. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">They always seemed to confirm her
beliefs and prejudices. They accepted her mince pies, which they
lifted up like magnets, but appeared terrified when she lit a
cigarette and floated through the open door to an orange glowing
object, 2.5m long, 1.2m high, with round glowing windows that she
could not see through. This object appeared to be made of a kind of
shiny plastic, with something like a scorpion’s tail, topped by a
sort of wheel at the back. There was a blue light atop this wheel.
The beings entered the object; it flashed its lights twice and took
off straight over the fence towards Oldbury. When Jean went back into
the house she found the radio and clock had stopped. A 2.4 x 1.2m
area of melted snow was left and a circle scratched on the glass of
the back door. Jean suffered from sore eyes and a red patch on her
brow that got worse when she had a headache. Tapes handled by the
beings were distorted and her wedding ring went white. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anmarie
Emery was driving from the Cambridge hotel where she worked to her
parents’ home in Springfield when, as she passed through the Auburn
area her attention was caught by three red glowing triangular
objects, flying in precise formation 400m from the road. Several cars
had slowed and she assumed their occupants were also watching these
objects. Anmarie also slowed and lowered her window but could hear no
sound. She continued to watch the objects, with their red, flashing,
rear lights, and at the intersection with Rt86 she found that she was
the only driver taking that route; all the others turning off.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">About
1.5km beyond the corner she climbed a hill, turned a corner and saw
three red glowing objects hovering over the road ahead.
Simultaneously her radio, CB, and lights all died and her car
stopped, though the engine was still running in 3rd gear. Anmarie was
paralysed, her foot remaining on the accelerator pedal, her hands
gripping the steering wheel and shaking. The red light from the
closest object was so bright she felt it heat her face and a strong
skunk like smell filled the car.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
strange objects were still in formation, the closest only 6m away and
3m above the road. The others were at the same height 12m and 18m
away. They were shaped like four sided pyramids, with their apexes
facing her. They were apparently made of a smooth, glassy substance.
The red light was uniform and emanating from within the objects. Four
brighter red blinking portions protruded along either side of the
objects, resembling four protruding red bars, blinking in a 2 second
cycle. Anmarie felt totally mesmerised, her face hot and flushed, her
eyes watering. After 2-3 minutes, she saw a distant headlight in her
rear view mirror and the objects took off, one after another, the
nearest one first, swung about to a 2 o clock position and left
behind a hill to the North-West at 90m altitude in 30 seconds. The
radio and CB began to function and the car could now be moved.
Anmarie suffered a quickly healing rash and skin peeling around the
eyes and nose next day. </span><br />

Rafael Suarez (12) was in a 4 x 4m room in the school where his
father was janitor when he heard a box full of newspapers fall down
and, looking round, he saw a strange rectangular object, 60cm wide,
1.4m high, 1m long, which was aluminium coloured with a sort of black
television screen on the upper front part. Through this he could see
part of the interior, where there was a tank with cables attached to
it. Below the screen was a reflector like a car headlight, beneath
which were black vertical lines. The object was suspended 20cm above
the floor, making a sound like an electric fan. Suddenly flaps on
either side of the object opened outwards and downwards and a being,
80cm high, emerged from first the right, then the left side. They
were dressed in shiny one piece overalls with shiny straps, helmets,
with a dark band across the eyes, made of a similar material. The
being from the left side grabbed the boy’s arm with a four fingered
hand, gripping him harder as he tried to free himself. The being
forced the boy down into a chair, while a voice in Spanish came from
the machine, telling him to sit down and not to move. While in this
chair, Marcos saw the beings had apparatus like soda siphons on their
backs. The right hand being walked towards an adjacent room. The
being which had seized Marcos returned to the machine, which emitted
a powerful beam of red light that dazzled him, making his eyes water.
At this point Marocs passed out. When he recovered the beings had
gone, leaving him still in the chair, the room in disarray with a
sulphurous odour in the air and the door open. Marcos ran out,
falling as he did so. His face was purplish red and he was so shaken
he had to be given a sedative. </span><br />

working on a construction site, Ronnie Patrick (19) was awakened by a
beautiful beam of light, with sparkles, which entered his room
through the window and wall. He reached out and touched the beam,
which penetrated his arm, with a sensation like static electricity.
The next thing he could remember was sitting in a chair at 0700hrs.,
fully dressed and ready for work. Following this experience he lost
25lb in weight, suffered from hair loss, burning eyes, dry nose and
mouth, diarrhoea abnormal perspiration, bruises on the legs and
bleeding from the teeth. </span><br />

driving between Ristoro and Lusiana, Antonio Conte (42), a
wood-cutter saw an orange sphere land in front of his car, blocking
the road. His car engine and lights failed and the doors opened by
themselves. From this object came two small humanoids, 1m tall, with
copper coloured skin, who were wearing metallic scaly coveralls. They
had long hands ending in pointed nails, and their ears were like
vibrating, twisted wires. They invited him on board by gestures. He
found himself in a 2 sq m room in which there was a variety of
electronic looking gadgets. The ytried to undress him, but he
resisted and the wall opened revealing a sort overall He continued to
protest, at which one of the beings gave him a small box with some
sort of writing on it. A door opened and he returned to his car when
the object disappeared. The car lights were now on. Conte may have
taken something from the craft. During the meeting (whether with the
occupants or the investigators is not clear) he was uneasy. </span><br />

D was driving his moped on the N40 between Wimereux and Ambleteuse
on route to Gazemetz from visiting his fiancée. This part of the
road was narrow and hugged the coastline, winding through sand dunes.
Turning a corner at the last dune, overlooking the Wimereux golf
course to see about 50m away to the left of the road, a luminous
red-orange glow shaped rather like a bean, hovering about 1m above
the dune. The moment Didier saw the thing he noticed that his lights
were dimming and his moped was slowing. He wondered if he was out of
petrol but at that moment the object took off and moved towards him
at high speed, first in a straight line and then veered to the right
out to the sea, passing over Didier at about 550m altitude, heading
out towards England. Didier was then able to restart his moped
without a problem and drive home. Though he did not have any physical
symptoms he felt an unease and cancelled a planned visit to his
fiancée. He estimated that the thing was 1.5m-2m long while resting
and quite silent, but it stretched to 4m long when moving. </span><br />

playing. A green and yellow light with sparks in the sky hit him,
winds whirled around the car and his hair stood up on end. Then two
complex objects appeared, with a violet red light moving between
them. Then Scott found himself sitting in the front of his car,
unable to account for the time lapse. The car engine was no longer
running, though the lights were still on. There was a loud ringing
noise and the car engine returned to life. Cold and upset, he drove
home. Meanwhile Ronald Patrick, who had a time lapse experience on
the 17th, had seen an object in the distance, and a “telepathic
voice” informed him that Scott had been abducted, and that he
should wait at Scott’s home for his arrival. When Scott arrived and
got out of the car at 0530, he appeared to Ron to be 2.1m tall,
white, toothless and boneless. Scott appealed to Ron to touch him,
but Ron was too afraid. Scott then collapsed to the ground, the voice
told Ron that Scott would be all right, upon which Scott regained his
human form except for a diamond shaped burn mark on his chest, singed
hair and bruised legs. The car clock was 5.5 hours off, and there was
a 2 minute blank on each side of the tape. </span><br />

and woman had just left a yard in their car, when the man saw a ball
of light ascending from behind the trees in the north-east. The thing
was blue-green, with red flames and blue-green smoke around it. It
turned and soon afterwards the smoke and flames disappeared. The ball
then crossed the road and disappeared behind the trees after about 20
seconds. No sound was heard during the observation. Meanwhile at
their home the TV picture disappeared and a buzzing sound was heard
from the set. </span><br />

driving from Lowood to Ipswich, John Beare (19) and a 15 year old
friend noticed a bright white light in the sky directly ahead, after
passing through Fearnvale. A bright flash from the object lit up the
area for about 750m. As the road turned to the right of this object,
it approached the car to a point directly above them for a few
seconds, then drifted to the right. It then descended to tree top
level and paced the car, then moved to about 30m in front of it and
zig-zagged across the full width of the road before returning to the
right of the car. It then paced them to the Toowomba turnoff, where
it was lost to sight. What appeared to be the same object was again
seen at Tivoli, where after pacing the car to Pineview, it finally
disappeared instantly in the south west sky. The object was cigar
shaped, with red, green and white among its multi-coloured lights. No
noise was heard at any stage in the 30 minute observation. No vehicle
effects were noted. The area was a fairly isolated rural one. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Two 14
year old girls were sledging on a snow covered valley slope when they
saw a series of lights a few hundred metres above their heads. There
were three green lights and a large red one. The girls thought they
were watching a helicopter, but then suddenly it emitted an ear
piercing whine and began to spiral down towards them, much to their
terror. They stood rooted to the spot as it slowly descended. When it
reached 30m, it stopped spiralling and the speed reduced. It then
descended down, partly on a path about 10m away,. Though it was dark,
the girls were able to see it was a grey lens shaped object, the size
of a small car (2.4 x 1.2m), with what looked like small fins at each
end. As it came to rest, the whine changed into a hum and then
stopped altogether. The girls ran for about 50m, then stopped to
watch the object, which remained on the ground for 3 to 4 minutes,
the light still blazing. It then rose slowly, humming again to 30m,
whereupon it headed towards them, then arced back, landing about 25m
away, lower down, on a steeper part of the slope. After a further
minute it began to wobble and then accelerated away; the lights
flickering slightly, until it was lost to sight in the distance. The
girls rushed indoors. An investigation three days later found two
marks impressed into the packed ice in the steep part of the slope.
They were 90cm across and 2.1m apart, and resembled an enlarged
letter E. A series of blackened stones was found by these marks.
Analysis by Leeds University showed a strong presence of coalite and
carbon residue. </span><br />

Michael Sacks (38) was giving his unwell son a glass of water when
the bedroom became illuminated with a pulsing light. Looking through
the window, he and his wife saw an orange luminous sphere moving
north-east to south west at about 150kph. The thing stopped dead in
its tracks and the light went out, leaving an arc of blue light. Then
three rings of deep red pulsing light appeared beneath, illuminating
the quarry below, into which the object, about twice the size of a
double decker bus, descended. After telephoning researcher Jenny
Randles, Sacks set out for his brother’s house about 6km away, and
the two then drove to the quarry to investigate. At the quarry Sacks
encountered a line of windows on a curved shape, but felt unable to
look at it directly, and kept hearing a message in his head saying
“portacabin, portacabin”. His brother saw nothing, and when they
checked next day there was no portacabin there. The light had also
been seen by two police officers. </span><br />

and dressed in dark coverall suits. The being inside the craft had
spikes on top of his head or helmet. The witness felt that some kind
of contact had been established but could not put this into words,
and he felt overwhelmed by the experience, so got back on his bike
and continued his drive to work, for which he was about an hour late.
As he drove away he caught a glimpse of the thing taking off at

were spreading shiny metallic objects on the ground. They wore green

and under goggles he saw large red eyes. The tallest, whose arm was

so funny that Alek found himself laughing. Seconds later the beings
seemed to vanish inside the dome, through the translucent surface of

Suddenly there was a white flash from the side and it shot away at

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">While
her husband was a at football club reunion, Mrs Therese Carre (56)
was returning from escorting a slightly tipsy neighbour home when
found her 14 year old daughter Valerie stood on the stone bench
peering at something, Therese joined her and saw two large red-orange
spheres descend one behind the other on the same axis. They descended
slowly towards the ground, disappearing behind the roofs of the
houses above the St Severin Crossroads. After a few seconds a ball
rose silently into the sky and disappeared, at about the same time
and place another sphere appeared in the sky and descended rapidly
towards the ground, after which they saw a huge orange glow that
illuminated the sky for several seconds after which everything
returned to normal.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
women then got down from the bench and went to the corner of the
farm, from where they could watch in shelter. There they saw a
lozenge shaped object apparently above the main electricity
sub-station at Pont Scorff. This thing emitted an intense yellow
light with red edges and it also had three intense red flashing
lights. This thing hovered for a few seconds and then moved back and
forth several times. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At
this point Mr Carre arrived home, surprised that the kitchen was
empty though the light was still on. His wife and daughter called and
beckoned to him to join them. When he did so, he saw a fair sized
object rising and falling above S Severin. When it descended the
three lights were no longer visible. The thing then rose and fell a
couple of times and then disappeared at lightning speed. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mr
Carre then went to phone the gendarmes who, when he told them the
thing was not there, suggested he ask around for other witnesses the
next morning. </span><br />

shaped object 50cm in diameter hovering 2m above the ground. He took
5 photographs of it, as it bobbed up and down. The object disappeared
for a while but reappeared by some bushes. Jarmo was then hit by a
red light beam from this sphere, which impaired his eyesight for a
time. The object was then surrounded by a dust cloud, and Jarmo got
the impression that it shrunk and disappeared. Then a tube like
object appeared, flew upwards and disappeared. On the spot Jarmo
found melted metal and a red liquid. </span><br />

Gruman (19) was driving north towards Oak Bluff along a road between
Senackentacket Pond and Joseph A Sylvia State Beach, when he noticed
green glow coming from behind the sand dunes between him and the
beach. As he approached this glow, which he thought came from “light
sticks” on the beach, he noticed a low frequency hum on his AM car
radio. When he reached a point where he had a clear view of the
shore, he saw that the glow came from a luminous yellow-green
cylinder, apparently floating in the water about 60m away. It was
about 9m long, rounded at both ends and had no visible openings or
protrusions. When Wesley stopped to examine it more closely, the rose
silently and slowly out of the water, disturbing it as it did so. It
became hidden by his roof, so he got out and saw that the beach and
water were now illuminated by the object, which was gaining speed as
it ascended. He tried to reach into the car for a lamp, but found he
was unable to move any part of his body but his head. When the
cylinder had disappeared from sight he was able to move again and got
back in his car and drove off to report the matter to the police. His
calendar watch, which had been fast, was showing the correct date
next day. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Brothers
Jocelino de Mattos (21) and Roberto Carlos de Mattos (13) were
walking home in the remote Jardim Alvorada (Hillside Gardens)
district when they saw a starlike point of light approach, making an
odd sound. They felt weak and compelled to turn around and walk
towards a field. They felt cold, their hearts beat fast and they both
collapsed. They recovered consciousness with difficulty and managed
to stagger home, where they collapsed again. Their mother and
brothers were doubtful of the story until they saw the star like
object hovering silently above trees. As they stood talking the two
brothers felt a sudden shock and collapsed yet again, while at the
same time the aerial light left. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Under
hypnosis, Jocelino recalled being floated up into some sort of
machine, where there were various rooms, one with computers, another
with engines of some sort, another with pictures of some sort and
finally a medical room. Here Jocelino was examined on a table, a
sperm sample was taken and instruments were attached to his head. A
woman then came into the room and they had sexual intercourse. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
beings spoke in an unintelligible language but seemed to communicate
with Jocelino by telepathy, claiming to be peacefully studying the
earth and issued an anti-war message. They then took him tom the
door, floated him to the ground, and then pushed him down, stunning
him again. When he regained consciousness he “heard” them say
they would be back. </span><br />

girlfriend heard a high pitched whistle. Turing around, he saw to the
NE he saw an orange sphere, with an elliptical trail, the apparent
size of a football at arm’s length, descending at a 20 degree
angle. The thing then slowed and changed direction, so that the trail
was vertical. It then descended further in a zigzag manner, still
emitting the whistling sound. The object disappeared behind houses.
The observation lasted about 15 seconds. Police were called but
nothing was found. </span><br />

Letullier (67) a retired farmer was stood by his stables looking
across a field to the north east when he saw a light among the trees,
which he first thought was the sunrise but then realised it was in
the wrong direction/ He didn’t pay much attention and carried on
his way when suddenly he saw, straddling the electricity wires, a
bright red rugby ball shaped object, which gradually got more
spherical. The thing was face on to him so he couldn’t make out its
full trajectory, though it was moving to the right. It seemed to move
up and down but never exceeded treetop height. The thing appeared to
be about three times the dimensions of Alexandre’s shed (2.5
x7.7m). </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">While
Alexandre was watching this thing, intrigued, two projections came
out of the thing, which they appeared to be an integral part of and
of the same colour. These projections moved in a reciprocal manner,
one sinking into the object, the other moving out, perhaps due to a
wobble in the thing’s vertical axis. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At
this point Alexandre went back about 5m towards the house, calling
out to his daughter. By the time she joined him the thing was just a
light in the distance. They then saw the light in a rear field about
500m away, as the sphere with its projections reappeared. It moved up
and down as it moved along but never exceeding treetop height. It
then finally disappeared off in the direction of Valonges. The main
object appeared to be about 7.5m diameter and the projections 60 x
10-15cm </span><br />

the odd idea that this was her daughter and children coming to visit
in a helicopter. Next she found herself back in bed at daybreak.
Chickens were later found dead in the area. In reality the object
could not have been seen in the place it was at that time of year,
owing to obscuring trees. The witness had many other anomalous

walking in the local park saw three bright lights on the path ahead,
which lights, he then realised were coming from a 3m diameter dark
disc hovering just over the path 5m away. They were two bright and
one dimmer beam coming from its underside. As he got within 3m of the
thing, on its surface appeared a variety of geometric forms, and
there were lights flashing on other parts. At one point a luminous H
shape appeared on the top part. The thing then emitted a brilliant
blue light and the man, who felt as though he was burning, ran away.
The next day he found he had burns and abscesses on his face and was
suffering from a severe headache. </span><br />

workers on the estate of Dr Macedo saw a light surge up from beyond a
hill. They thought little of it, but at 0330 two of them saw
something they thought might be an aeroplane or helicopter in
trouble. Shortly afterwards all 5 saw the light and now found their
tractors would not work. They continued on foot to see what was up
and soon realised that this was not an aircraft crash but an object
but rather was a flattened sphere, the size of a small bus, with a
row of small windows, from which a fluorescent light emerged. This
thing maneurvered silently around for 30 minutes, projecting a beam
of light towards the ground, before hovering over one of the deserted
tractors. After some moments the object moved to the side, turned off
the brilliant beam and took off at high speed towards Sao Francisco. </span><br />

hypnosis he recalled being taken to some larger object, where he was
taken into a dark room, where there were lights, panels and luminous
star maps, and a window, through which he could see the earth from
space. In this room were 12 beings, some of which had green skins,
black hair, thin lips and noses, large eyes and pointed ears; others
were coffee coloured, red crinkly hair, dark eyes and thick lips. All
were about 1.2m tall and wore white uniforms and gloves. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
being then took Antonio into another dark room, undressed him despite
his protests, quieting him with some sort of chemical and introduced
a naked human like woman, 1.5m tall, into the room. She had a large
head, black slanted eyes, chocolate skin, thin lips, white teeth, red
hair and a narrow nose. She felt cold to touch and her breath was
foul. Antonio was restrained and the woman had sex with him. He was
then oiled again and redressed. He was then given a foul smelling
liquid to drink and taken to another room. Here the beings, who
communicated among themselves in an unknown language, communicate
with Antonio by telepathy, telling that they were conducting
experiments and aimed to produce a male child, which they would later
show him, and that they would safely return him. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">He was
then taken into another dark room and thence to a craft which took
him back to earth. After this experience he had burn marks, a
puncture wound, had prickly sensation, lost his taste for coffee and
developed sore eyes. The beings returned at some later date and
showed him the child. After this he had several other encounters. </span><br />

silver grey in colour and a flat blue-black upper part, resting over
a rock 60m away. From the centre of the object a blue black beam
swept the wood with an undulating movement for one minute before
disappearing. They could see something under the object. Maila went
to inspect it, getting within touching distance. It was a cupola
shaped object resting on tiny legs. It was so small that it hardly
reached her knees. Inside the transparent upper part she could see
two little creatures sat on two tiny chairs, the being nearest to her
holding an object in front of him. The beings had crooked hawk like
beaks, their skin was flecked with green-brown spots like a toad.
They had large bulging eyes, large mouths and long chins. Their ears
were pointed and reminded Maila of leaves. They wore shiny grey
helmets with antennae and with a yellowish line in the middle. The
upper part of their suits and their gloves were black. In the front
part of the object there were numerous levers and round dials, on one
of which was a moving pointer. As Maila was about to touch the
object, the figure nearest to her turned and made a gesture with its
left hand, at which Maila “got electricity in my eyes” and became
temporarily blinded. As she jumped back, rubbing her eyes, the object
took off to the left. Allen saw the object approach and take off but
not the creatures. The observation lasted about 10 minutes. Maila
came home very shaken and her eyes were sore for days afterwards. </span><br />

balloon, uniformly glowing, about 1.8-2.1m diameter, sharply outlined
and emitting a not excessively bright, “frosty white” light. The
dog stepped forward and watched with him, as the object hovered, very
steady at about 20m, 30m or less away. After 4-5 minutes it moved
behind the trees, slowly to the SW, taking 3-4 minutes to do so.
Running to the front of his house, the man saw an identical object,
20m up, moving silently NW, going behind the trees in 3-4 minutes. </span><br />

the usual aircraft noises and saw, through his window, a large object
fly past. It was square, with multi-coloured lights (including blue,
white and yellow and was moving slowly just above the treetops. It
passed over and seemed to disappear. The youth went back to bed but
30 minutes later he heard the noise again, and, going to the window,
saw the same object rise up from behind some trees directly in front

following him. He saw the spotlight come on again, but this time it
did not paralyse him. Two illegal campers who had observed the scene
now came to his aid. The beam went out again as the disc passed

trail along the length of the tail. The sphere glowed orange. The

attention to a row of red and yellow lights travelling left to right
ahead of them at a slow speed. The lights were too bright to be those
of an aeroplane. The lights then seemed to bunch up into a single red
light, as if the object had turned front on to them. It then began to
approach and descend. Connie ran in to get the adults, and by the
time they came out the thing was low and close, lighting up the yard
with a red light. It approached two large cottonwood trees 25-30m
away, but just before reaching them hovered about 8m above the
ground, its light so brilliant as to make looking at it difficult.
The thing dimmed, as if in response to Angela’s wish, revealing an
elongated object with a circular end. The thing then seemed to turn
sideways in response to Angela’s unspoken command. They could see
that the capsule shaped object was about 8-20m long, diameter 2.5-3m.
Along its side were 6 lights 35-35cm diameter. The lights on the end
were three dimensional luminous spheres. When Angela stepped back,
the lights got brighter again and the thing turned its back to them
and climbed away </span><br />

Raimunda’s home to that of Francisco Marciano De Abreu where a
group of the neighbours were sat talking, when they saw a light in
the distance, which they thought was a car headlight. The thing then
suddenly came down towards them, hovering a metre or so above the
ground about 30-40m away. Here it resembled a large sphere of a
yellow light so brilliant that it illuminated pebbles on the ground,
which could be seen up to 100m away. The light then retreated and
Maria De Abreu and another woman picked the girls up. The light was
still so bright that Francisco felt nausea and headaches for two
weeks and sore, runny eyes for two months afterwards. This light was
now blue and cold. After 30 minutes that light just disappeared but
the unnatural cold lasted for about an hour. </span><br />

Langlade (27) and his girlfriend Edwige Collin (20) were sat talking
in their car on this rainy but not stormy night when a shattering
green light came from above the trees and hit the ground 15m away.
This was followed by a powerful glow about 100-150m diameter that lit
up the ground. Meanwhile the top branches of the trees began swaying
wildly. Suddenly this was all over and there was the darkness and the
gentle wind. Then a light came from the hedge of high trees to the
right and moved over to another hedge on the left in less than a
minute. Pascal hesitantly estimated this might have been 10m in
diameter and was white and powerful. Pascal was not very bothered but
Edwige became afraid. She was sat higher on the seat and thought she
saw something moving, Pascal thought that this was probably the
rabbits and other animals that were prolific in the area. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Pascal
then noticed about 20m from the car, something resembling a
transparent green block of ice 80cm high, 20cm wide. It glowed a
little like a glow-worm and seemed to crawl along the ground at
walking pace, hugging the stones. When it got within 15m Pascal
turned on the headlights but these just went out, plunging them into
darkness.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now
Edwige became very afraid and about 15 minutes after the “ice
block” had disappeared they backed down the track, headlights on
again, Suddenly they became aware that the surroundings ahead of them
were illuminated and that the light was back, performing the same
manoeuvres as before Pascal edged the car forward, shutting off its
engine and lights. The light moved in a continuous circle and after
30-40 seconds it just went out again. It was now replaced by a sort
of opening which appeared to be on something resembling two plates
stuck together lid to lid. From this opening came a ladder of four or
five steps, in the centre of which was a human form. It appeared to
be speaking to another at the opening and the third inside. The
opening emitted a brilliant white light that illuminated the scene
despite the rain, but did not allow them to see the interior. Despite
Edwige’s fears Pascal edge the car forward, lights out, to get a
better look, but when he switched the headlights on, everything
disappeared. Pascal went back to the site next day with his father
but no traces were visible. </span><br />

teenagers, Sarah Hines (14), Cathy R (14) and Jackie B (11), who were
among a number of children who had had the close encounter a couple
of nights earlier, along with Jackie’s father went to the Hydro
field, where the previous encounter had taken place. There they saw
arrow shaped objects that disappeared in a flash to the east. Sarah
felt compelled to walk to a field to the north east, where all sounds
seemed to stop. She crossed the road without looking out for traffic,
“knowing” that there would be none. On reaching the field at 2205
she saw an arrowhead shaped object move from the street to over the
field, and settle 80-90cm above the 30cm tall grass. She walked to
within 60cm of the object, from which, suddenly, four shadowy figures
emerged and hovered in a semi-circle 60cm above the ground. They were
shaped like vertical rugby balls, 1.2m tall, 45cm wide and less than
3cm thick. Sarah then passed out after a couple of minutes. She
recalled being inside an object and observing the general area and
watching a man in a blue suit exercising a dog. She awoke in the
field at 2220, about 5m south of where the object had been. She
returned home and slept for 12 hours, not remembering any dreams. Her
face was orange red, she had a series of pin prick marks on her right
hand and her eyes were dilated. A triangular area of depressed grass
was found at the site. Under hypnotic regression Sarah recalled being
taken on foot though the object’s walls that were illuminated by a
bright sharp light, and a smell of chicken. Her hands went through
everything she touched, except for an ordinary cat that “they”
said they were growing on board. In this craft were seven shadowy
transparent entities shaped like rugby balls, about 2m tall. They
were crystalline and each a separate strange colour. The beings said
they had taken her on board to “find out what humans are made of”,
that she had been on board before and that they would return when she
was 25. She seemed to be “on board” for a year, saw the earth and
a red planet that was “there but not”. The lights on the craft
kept the entities alive. They put an instrument in her mouth, holes
were painlessly burned into her thumb and index finger, and blood
extracted. A machine was placed on her head “to find out what I
know”. She asked them where they came from but did not remember the
answer. An English speaking man was on the craft, also for tests her
said, giving only his first name which she could not remember. He was
not very tall, wore casual clothes and said he was a store owner.
There were plants on board, and computers in another room she only
caught a glimpse of. They told her to go to sleep. Sometime after
this, she was in the school courtyard when she was approached by a
tall thin man, wearing unusual shoes, who ordered her not to say
anything. The stranger was 1.8m tall, with a grey face “like a dead
man”, slanted eyes and evil grin, along with a pointed nose and
long thin fingernails. This figure disappeared on the spot. </span></span><br />

they noticed a white light two thirds of the way up the mountain.
They wondered how a house could be built that far up, where there
were no roads. The terrain was too wooded, rocky and steep for a
helicopter also. This light then seemed to increase in size, becoming
four times as bright as the houses at the base. From the distance of
1.5-2km it then seemed to consist of a cluster of four lights, with a
dark space in the middle. After about three minutes the light source
silently rose over the mountain top, hovered there for 3 seconds and
then dropped down behind it, a glow remaining over the mountain.
There was no radio reception in the valley that night. </span><br />

branch off to “chez Peraud” on the D134 when his headlights
caught a human looking figure about 100-200 away on the grass verge
on the left of the road. When Patrick got within about 20m the
humanoid raised its left hand, giving something like a scout’s
salute. Immediately the car’s lights, radio and engine all failed.
Mommetum carried the car on another 10m towards the thing,</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">After
About 15 seconds had elapsed Patrick concluded that the thing was not
normal, its long arms, which would have reached knee level, ended in
indistinct hands. It was 1.2 to 1.3m tall not moving, though it kept
raising its arms,. It was dressed in a sort of large grey aluminium
like suit., with a belt of a slightly different hue. Its hands
appeared to be in gloves, they were so indistinct. Patrick could not
make out the bottom of its legs and its feet. Its head was covered by
a bubble shaped helmet, the upper part of which was transparent, for
it looked that way because of the unusual light from the moon that
night. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
humanoid then dropped its hand and leapt horizontally , without
bending its body into the depths of the woods 10m away. A few seconds
or so later, the car lights came, Patrick turned ignition and the car
started up. Patrick, very scared, drove off towards Mosnac. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Carol
X (22) was in the house with her three year old daughter Nicola whole
her husband was on night shift. She was in bed drinking a cup of
coffee, which she had made to ease the toothache that was preventing
her getting to sleep. She caught sight of a red light outside the
curtains and went to investigate. It was a damp, misty night but she
saw, above the houses and street 100m away, on the other side of s
field, an object consisting of a group of orange, red and white
lights, surmounted by a faintly luminous dome. After about two
minutes all but one of the lights went out, and she could see that
they had been on a dark, bell shaped object. The remaining red light
was in the centre of the object’s underside and appeared to be as
wide as one of the houses opposite. Two minutes further on the object
spiralled up and disappeared. Puzzled Carol returned to bed, to be
startled a few minutes later by a low rumbling, which seemed to come
from just outside the bedroom window. Looking up, she was amazed to
see at the top of the curtains, a small flattened bell shape, shaped
like the one she had seen outside. It was 45cm in diameter and lit up
from within by a pale grey light. Behind this was what appeared to be
a swarm of tiny glittering lights. The disc and swarm moved to the
light shade, hovered and then the swarm descended down on her. She
felt a tingling sensation and feeling of heaviness as if being pushed
down, and a dulling of her senses, and she heard a loud droning buzz.
The swarm then returned to the disc and she felt herself returning to
normal as it did so. The disc then went through the open bedroom
door, returned, and then left. Fearing for Nicola’s safety she ran
into the girl’s room, picked her up and retuned with her to her own
room. She saw nothing but heard the engine sound all night. She felt
tingly again as she fell asleep about 0530, but gave a start and
seemed to shrug it off. She was shaken and crying when her husband
came home at 0730, she had a pain in her left cheek and jaw, felt hot
and flushed, developed a rash on her neck and wax in the ears. </span><br />

bank of the River Mersey near their East Didsbury home, collecting
wild flowers. Linda then saw something she first took to be the moon,
and then saw was a golden-yellow fireball moving above the trees. The
thing seemed to disappear behind a hill. They ran up the hill,
fearing an air crash, but saw that the object was now low and further
away. It then approached and came closer. They saw that it was
something with a curved underside and domed top. It emitted a
brilliant white light that hurt Linda’s eyes, and a rotating red
light around its rim. The lower portion seemed to be constructed over
a superstructure like girders. During this time environmental sounds
ceased. As the party fled the scene, the object took off, apparently
in the wake of an aircraft. When they arrived home Linda’s husband,
who normally worked till 2200hrs. was home, suggesting a 40 minute
period of missing time. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Under

go with the figure and found herself floating above the ground and
seeing the children below her. She then found herself in a brightly
illuminated room, lying on some kind of orange table or bed. The
being is called Algenyon. The daughter recalled little other than
being surrounded by blue. </span><br />

surgery. Under hypnotic regression in 1993, he recalled being

just float out from behind a hedge. Two of the beings grabbed him by

she got onto the road the sphere reached a creel area 60m away, where
it lifted straight up and disappeared. The observation lasted 80
seconds. This light was silent, pulsating at 1 second intervals,
brighter than the moon, with fingers of light visible in the dim
phase of the pulse. The thing was as wide as the road and the ditches
on either side (8.5) at maximum, and wide as the road alone (6m) at
minimum. In the dim phase it had a metallic appearance. There was no
effect on the car. </span><br />

casting shadows. Val had got within about 2km of the light when it

eye soreness was due to an irritation similar to but milder than that

damage: one headlight smashed to pieces; a small circular dent in
the upper bonnet; windshield shattered in front of the steering
wheel; the red plastic filter dislodged from its lamp housing and
punctured; a whip antenna on the roof bent backwards close; another
one on the trunk had its top portion bent back at a right angle. Both
Val’s watch and the dashboard clock were 14 minutes slow, yet they
had both been synchronised with the despatcher prior to the incident. </span><br />

Joe Turner (28), a truck driver, was driving a load from Winchester
to Fredericksburg when 3km from Warrenton on Rte. 17 his radio and
Citizen’s Band radio began to emit static. He heard a high pitched
whine and saw a light in both rear view mirrors. The noises and
lights increased and, as an object larger than a truck came overhead,
he heard two thumps on the roof. He was then grabbed on a pressure
point by an “unseen entity” that he fired eight shots at before
passing out. He came to at the Fredericksburg warehouse that was his
destination; his cab in some disarray. From then on he began to
experience increasing behaviour problems and remembered the truck
being lifted up inside a craft, where he was examined by human like
beings wearing white shirts, pants and caps that covered their ears
and foreheads. When they lifted these caps they revealed a series of
numbers across their faces. They had unusually webbed fingers and
spoke in a curious “speeded up” fashion. One slowed down to ask
him questions, of which he had only the vaguest memory. They had pale
cold skin “like they was dead”. He was given a physical on the
left side of his body and taken to a remote world with dome like
cities. He then claimed that aliens controlled his left hand side. He
later claimed more contacts with the aliens, became immersed in the
Bible etc. Grave doubts were expressed about this case. </span><br />

Johnson (33) was driving alone along the lonely Highway 50 on this
good clear night, when he observed a light, like a headlight, ahead
of him on the highway. After 2 seconds it rushed at his car, which
within a further 2 seconds was engulfed in it. Russ felt as though he
was inside a light bulb and closed his eyes and braked, skidding to a
stop and spinning sideways to the east. When he opened his eyes he
observed the light source rush silently, rise at a slight angle and
abruptly vanish. He saw what looked like a vapour trail. </span><br />

year old farm woman, 15km north of town, had driven to her irrigation
system 3 blocks away. Looking out over an alfalfa field, she saw what
looked like a post stting 800m to the south, in the shallow valley.
It appeared to be 1.20-1.5m high, alternately red and silver. She was
slightly curious and decided to investigate when she had time. When
she looked back, 5 to 10 minutes later, she saw that the cylindrical
object was now at 1 block altitude and much closer. It flew slowly
from the SW to the NW in a horizontal position, allowing her to see
its black flat bottom and rounded, silvery end. She called a 43 year
old neighbour and tenant, who observed the object as a flattened disc
for 10 minutes, fluctuating in brightness before it disappeared into
the west. Its mean angular diameter was between that of a distance
plane and the full moon. </span><br />

a light just above the skyline. It descended vertically down a nearby
mountain to within one third of the distance from the summit, and
then accelerated down and towards her. At this point she called the
dog inside and mentally told the object to stop and not come any
closer. With this the object stopped momentarily within 100m of her
and appeared to dim slightly. It then retreated exactly the same way
it had come. The woman became apprehensive and her senses seemed to
sharpen. Since the event she had a sensation of heaviness in her
limbs and a ringing sensation in her ears. She believed that
something had been trying to communicate with her and was now
watching her. </span><br />

some peculiar lights about a city block to the north. She got dressed
and stepped out into the clear night to see, through the sparse
trees, a formation of lights deployed around what appeared to be a
long oval form. 5 greenish-white lights could be seen in an upper
layer, while in the lower one there were about 25 dimmer, but still
glaring, white lights, which surrounded the bottom. She could not
tell whether the lights were actually touching or hovering silently
just above the ground. Eventually the object moved horizontally away,
still close to the ground and could be seen through the trees as it
moved to the NW. The witness tried photographing the lights, but
nothing came out. She later found a large shapeless matted area in
the grass. </span><br />

surveyor Aleksandr Norin was picking mushrooms in the woods when he
almost fainted on seeing a shiny metallic mushroom shaped object, the
stem of which was a fluorescent neon shaft 1.5m wide, emitting a soft
pink light. The top part was a cupola 1.5m high, 5m wide, bathed in
an orange coloured mist from which luminous flashes shot at regular
intervals. As he watched, two strongly built dwarfs, 1.5m tall, with
broad shoulders and well developed chests, dressed in black space
suits which covered their entire bodies, emerged and walked around
the object. They had two small slits at eyes level. They talked in a
high pitched twittering sound. They were then sucked into the object,
which then vanished. The soil at the spot was found to be sterile. </span><br />

sleeping at her mother’s house, 100m from her own, Carol X was
awakened by a tingling sensation and found herself almost completely
paralysed. Moving her head with extreme difficulty she saw a disc
shaped object in the room, hovering 1.5m above the floor in a corner.
From the upper surface of the grey object a narrow tube projected at
an angle. The sensation of tingling then passed, but before she could
scream it was replaced by a relaxed floating feeling, though she was
still paralysed. Again she managed to move her head to see, standing
right by her bed, a group of small beings, some standing, some
kneeling. There were more beside the door. They approached until the
entire group of 12 were right by her. She was unable to see them
clearly as her spectacles were on the floor, but from a later
incident she was able to reconstruct that they were 75cm tall, head
rather large for their bodies, with tall foreheads, large pale eyes,
full lips that made their faces look strangely beautiful or feminine,
though she could not tell their sex. They had pale skin and wore
white clothing, one individual wearing a white cloak. Their hair was
close cropped and unnaturally doll like. The clocked creature reached
out and touched her eyes, though she did not feel the touch. It
appeared interested in her eyes and her spectacles on the floor. It
spoke to her without moving its lips; seeming to say “just like any
other earthling”. They also made frequent clicking sounds. She
turned her head and the floating sensation left her. When she looked
back the object and creatures had gone. She could still here the
humming sound however, and when she looked outside the street lights
were flickering. Art about the same time her brother Walter heard the
noise and saw a light moving away from her room.</span><br />

Etchells and a cousin were driving from Bretton to the A1, on

was left behind as they turned left but then suddenly reappeared in
front of them, its colour now orange. It was so close that they
thought that it was coming for them and started to panic. They then
noticed that everything was quite still; there were no cars or
lorries about, no lights around them and no noise, not even of their
own car engine. This state of affairs lasted for about 10 minutes and
then the disc just vanished and cars and lorries were seen and heard
again, as was their own engine. They then looked at the time and
found it was 0350, nearly an hour had elapsed and they were still
near Peterborough. Even though no sound had been heard during their
experience, neither could recall stopping or having tried to stop the
car, and the petrol tank, which they had filled before leaving, was
now three quarters empty. They carried on with their journey but felt
very frightened and kept going hot and cold. </span><br />

driving home for an implement through the thickly wooded hills, 1.5km

about 1.5km ahead to the north. Within moments it moved over the
trees ahead of him, 15m up. About 180m away, it slowed down and
descended behind the tree line. Hogan was divining toward it at
55kph. As he watched the thing head east at 50-65kph, he stopped the
truck. He could now see that the object was an elliptical form about
1.8m by 60cm, with a surface like polished steel, It made no sound as
it hovered only 3m above a green bean field. The object then began to
rise slowly and headed south east over East Lake as another witness
arrived on the scene. This man, Dennis Christianson (35) observed the
object hovering at 60m. Three other witnesses also observed the thing
as it accelerated up and disappeared into the sky. </span><br />

ski, who had gone to wash the shovels, saw a silver delta shaped
object that seemed to crash and explode, whereupon he dived to the
ground, yelling out to Kobus and covering his head with a shovel.
Coming out of the summer house, Kobus saw, above a flower bed in the
fenced garden plot, a ring with thick white flames around it, through
which the sky and clouds were visible, slowly descending. Goralksi
saw the object as two silver deltas connected by a cross. Both
experienced a high pitched unbearable sound in their heads. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Together
they walked closer to investigate and found themselves engulfed in a
dense white fog and illuminated by a bright light. Goralski then
noticed that the shovel that he had been carrying had gone. Kobus
felt totally petrified and propped himself up against one of the
prism like objects, which was soft and comfortable, like an armchair.
He noticed that Goralski’s face was distorted and his knees bent,
as though suffering from severe gravity effects. Meanwhile Goralksi
felt euphoric, had a brief impression of a force pressing on him as
though he was in a fast elevator. He began to ask questions of unseen
entities, each time he spoke the sound ceased. At first there was no
reply, but then two answers; they knew nothing of printed circuits
and transistors, and that the most important attribute of matter was
its ability to pervade other matter.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kobus,
still seated in the armchair, saw a flood of colours (red, black,
blue, yellow) that turned to grey and stopped. He felt as though his
head was a computer through which thoughts and ideas were passing, as
if from an external source. He saw Goraski turn and lean out of the
fog, as if watching something, but then realised that the chair had
gone, he saw he was sitting on nothing, but not falling. He also
began to ask questions and received as a reply a visual display, as
if of former times. Meanwhile Goralski had found himself looking down
over his own town; suddenly he seemed to fall 30cm into his garden.
Kobus experienced the fall as if the chair had been pulled from under
him, and land on his back in the garden. There was now no sign of the
object, the shovel was on the floor and the summer house door was
open </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A 54
year old man, his 22 year old step son and his 14 year old daughter
were driving near Feignies on this still dark morning when the girl
saw through the right hand side window, something luminous in the
direction of Mairieux in the north east, heading to the south west.
It was a sort of greenish top, with rotating lights, sometimes green,
sometimes red, apparently going down below the horizon behind Fort
Leveau. They got out of the car to watch this. After a few minutes
the party returned to the car and then 10 minutes after it had
disappeared the thing reappeared, coming down near a lamppost,
emitting flashes of light. The thing came down lower still, following
the road, first resembling the light from a moped, then more like a
car headlight. The girl became frightened so they drove on towards
the thing. As they approached they saw that the thing was a brilliant
white mass with green and red lights. </span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
thing kept approaching so they feared a collision. Suddenly the thing
went dark and became sort of swirling vortex, passing them at car
height and going up into the sky, just as the dawn was breaking.</span><br />

group of children; Angela E (10), Patrick O (10), Andrew p.(10) and
his sister Rosie (8) were walking home from playing at Wollaton Park,
about 1.5km from their home, when they heard a sound like a tinkling
bell, and about 30 small objects like bubble cars came out of the
bushes. In each were tiny beings with old, crinkled greenish faces
and with long white beards with a touch of red at the end. They were
laughing in a peculiar fashion and driving over the swamps near the
lake. Andrew saw a figure in a red top and green bottom standing on a
car. Something seemed to fall out of the trees onto them and they
fell into a swamp. The children thought there may have been a light
shining through the trees. The next day Mary O (12) saw six small
beings in “go-karts” travelling around the back of Wollaton
Castle. </span><br />

drove home, grabbed two pairs of binoculars and collected a third

could see that a light in the east was a boomerang shape, the concave
side towards them, approaching them. The boomerang then stopped,

The object then tilted, elongated and then shot away like a rocket.
She was puzzled as she heard no sound nor felt any blast from the

A Oltranu was gathering mushrooms in the mountains when he saw a grey
object in a clearing under a high cliff, about 100m away. He first

about3-4m diameter, with a central turret, standing on three or four
legs. By the thing were two child sized entities, 1.2-1.3m tall,
looking as though they were working on something. They had large bald
heads, dirty yellow skin, large cat like eyes, puny bodies and thin,
knee length arms and were dressed in one piece suits. Cornel got
within 20m of the beings, when one and then the others, turned to
face him. At this point Cornel became rooted to the spot, unable to
move.</span></div>

entered via a small ladder, a door closing behind them. A circle of
white lights then appeared around the object. The object then took
off silently and sped off into the sky, hovered for a moved and then
left over the trees, which bent down as if hit by a powerful wind.
Cornel then found he could move again and went to the landing site,
but the only trace was a yellow stain. </span><br />

in angular diameter than the full moon, rolling towards them from low
over the trees to the northwest. They were unable to agree on its
colours (husband saw blue and white, wife saw red and green). After
the ball rushed over the top of their 1973 Buick Riviera at uncertain
altitude, they cruised another 150m, when their car went dead, there
being not even enough battery power to work the lights. A car came
along and the driver tried to jump start the Buick without success.
They had just enough power to use their CB to call a truck tow, which
also failed to start the car. The battery required a whole night’s
charging, and the interior of the alternator was burnt out, but not
the exterior. They had experienced no previous trouble with the car.
The observation lasted about 10 seconds. </span><br />

was watching TV in a ground floor bedroom in his mother’s house
when the room became filled with a brilliant bluish light, which
seemed to come from inside the room. After about 3 seconds the light
diminished leaving the witness very fearful. He got a gun and went
out to investigate. Under hypnotic regression he seemed to remember
that there was a different programme on the TV when he returned and
had vague memories of being taken into a dark cloud by small dark

Stewart went to close the bedroom curtains she heard a sound like a

object, with 6 red lights that rotated in anti-clockwise direction
and seemed to hover on the spot for 20-30 seconds. Then, as the noise
turned to high pitched diesel, the thing rose up into the sky and was
eventually lost to view in the distance. Mrs Stewart suffered from
extreme thirst in the early mornings for about two weeks following
the experience, drinking vast quantities of tea and lemonade, which
she did not usually like. She also felt tired and heavy, gained
weight, which then returned to normal as fast as it had risen. She
also had several psychic experiences such as precognitive dreams and
an apparition of her dead grandmother. Her husband also saw the

notice. At one point the engine faltered. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">On the

them. Passing an abandoned factory, they were surprised to see that
it was illuminated and then saw a huge tubular object in the sky,
between two mountains. They then saw the lights coming towards them.
They then had a gap in memory until they came too near a farm some
kilometres away off the main highway. The journey took five hours
instead of two. During much of the return journey the car was
rattling and bumping along. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Under

of anomalous personal experiences for Luli </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Coming
out of the municipal sports hall on this dark moonless and starless
night, Jean-Yves Saliou (19) saw a sort of luminous, white, vertical
bar above the horizon, followed by two other lesser lights that moved
off. He first thought they were car headlights but then realised they
were above the hills, They seemed to approach and separate, approach
again etc., their colours changing from yellow to orangey red and
then back to yellow. Two of the lights descended towards the ground,
the third circled the area, at one point coming within 500m of Jean.
It was unenduringly dazzling, about twice as long as high. It then
returned to it station above the other two. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Frightened
by this unnatural spectacle Jean drove off to meet his friends in
town. They rather took the thing as a joke and set off in pursuit of
the lights in three cars. By now there was just one indistinct light
changing from pale to bright yellow. The lads decided to go in search
of the lights. They drove up to a water tower from where they again
saw lights around the hills, wondered if they were car headlights but
realised there were no other roads for them to be on, and the night
was too dark and the terrain too rough for it to be walkers with
torches. They drove on to the foot of the hill. There they see a
voluminous light on the ridge, its light illuminating the trees. This
light then went off as if someone had thrown a switch. A</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> few
minutes later, it reappeared again, bright as before. It then seemed
to split and the second light moved along the ridge towards the east.
The main light now suddenly projected out a slightly conical beam of
light skywards at 60 degrees to the horizontal. It was fine and sharp
like a brush stroke of paint. It then fell to the ground and swept
the area in a fashion that reminded them of the stick used by blind
people. Several times over this beam returned to the stationary
sphere and went out again. The lads now became too afraid to move.
They watched as a third light swept around the area at high speed
before returning to its original position. The two lights on the hill
then went out and the third move doff slowly to the right, The lads
decided to follow it, driving down a narrow path across a ford, which
meant they had to keep their headlights on for safety. Behind a hill
to their right they saw an immense flash of light and then nothing.
The observation had lasted for 90 minutes and they had covered five
kilometres, Later investigators found possible traces in the form of
small holes at the site. There were about a dozen witnesses; most did
not want their name used. Those that gave permission to reveal their
names were Pierre Ona (22) Jean-Pierre Mauvin (19). </span><br />

School student Kent Grant was sat by the Fraser River while out on a
night walk, when he observed a white light low in the sky. It
approached then dipped down behind trees. It then reappeared, closer
than ever, and came over the mountain on the other side of the river.
It had a bright white glowing centre, surrounded by a blue haze,
which seemed to create a sort of solid blue wall The ,light hovered
for about three minutes, then rose vertically, did a 180 degree turn
at 30m altitude, coming directly overhead at that altitude. Kent now
saw that it was shaped like an inverted dish, about 15m diameter,
with a central rotating rim, on which small lights were fixed. There
were three markings in a triangular formation, which glowed bright

came on again, dazzling him and hurting his eyes. The thing made a
high pitched sound, and there was an electrical smell. Kent rubbed
his eyes, and when they had become used the dark again, the object
had gone. He then went home. The next day he felt dizzy and
nauseated. </span><br />

Harte and his wife were driving home from work when they saw a light
rising from behind a church, which they presumed was a firework.
However the object levelled off as a hazy mass of light, surrounded
by a reddy glow, and moved north towards the village. They pursued it
for several minutes, along country lane, and it seemed to slow down.
It was then lost to sight behind a hill. When it was next seen, it
seemed to have descended to just above the trees. Damion now saw it
as a row of two red and one white light, with a surrounding hazy dome
shape. He turned and drove to within 60m and saw it hovering 15m up.
Though he switched the engine off and turned the window down, he
could hear no sound. His wife, who could not see it well, became
frightened and urged him to drive away. As he did so, she saw it
spiral upwards, giving a clear view of a domed object, three times
the size of their Jaguar car. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Robert
Taylor (61), a forestry foreman with the Livingston Development
Corporation was inspecting some young trees at Deer Hill, 100m from
the M8 motorway. He was walking with his dog along the final section,
having had to park his van further along the track. He caught sight
of something and round to be confronted by a large top shaped object
with a central flange, protruding from the upper part of which were a
row of upwards pointing cylindrical bars, topped by what looked like
propellers. Between these features he could see dark grey areas that
reminded him of portholes. The 7m diameter object was only about 8m
away and was dark grey in colour. It sat motionless on or just above
the ground. After about 30 seconds parts of the upper dome began to
fade in an out, the background being visible through it. This seemed
to move back and forth across the dome, giving Robert the idea that
it was trying to camouflage itself. Then there appeared from behind
the dome two objects which resembled marine mines, spheres with
spikes attached. They moved in unison straight towards Robert, making
a popping sound as there spikes hit the ground. As they reached him,
they attached a spike to each side of his trousers, just below the
pockets and seemed to tug him towards the larger object. At the same
time he noticed a sudden overpowering smell like burning brake
linings and an unpleasant taste in his mouth. He felt his feet
scraping the ground before he passed out, falling down on his face.
When he recovered consciousness he heard a whooshing sound and his
dog barking. He had a headache, a pain in his chin. His legs were too
weak to support him and he was unable to call to his dog. He managed
to crawl and stagger back to his van, but was unable to control it,
and finally walked about 1.5km home across a short cut. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">His wife was
struck by his physical condition. A medical examination showed he had
a graze on his chin and left thigh. His trousers and long underpants
had been torn. At the site, two ladder like tracks, 2.5m long, 2.5m
apart were found, the grass between the rungs was evenly flattened
but not as much as the grass in the “rungs”. Around these tracks
were around 40 holes where fresh earth had been exposed. They were
10cm wide at the maximum, angles at 30 degrees and the angles of
direction were consistent. There were two sets, one clockwise, and
the other anticlockwise. The tears in the trousers were consistent
with a strong mechanical pull by a broad attachment. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mrs
Michelet was driving back from Bellac when turning at the crossroads
towards Laborie, she saw some unexplained lights in a field by the
road. She slowed down and stopped the car after a few metres. She
felt as though she was hypnotised and being compelled to stop, shut
down the engine and lights. From there she saw, about 2m above the
ground, in the field behind the one by the road, about 10m away, four
lights arranged at the four vertices of a diamond shaped object,
which was taller than wider. Three of the lights were red, the fourth
yellow-orange. This latter light then turned red without going out,
and the neighbouring red light turned yellow. This yellow light then
turned clockwise in total silence. No structure could be seen behind
these lights, but they acted as though they were part of some rigid
thing. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">After
two or three minutes she was able to start the engine without
difficulty and carry on to the crossroads. She had only gone two or
three metres when the object very slowly rose and travelled to the
bottom of the field. After less than 30 seconds it reached the small
wood that marked the boundary of the next door field, at which it
disappeared, replaced moments later by a zigzag shaped trail that
disintegrated almost immediately. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mrs
Michelet then went along to her sheep fold where she called the
sheep, put the animals which usually always came to her whistle,
refused to budge. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At
about 1900hrs at Nouit several kilometres away, Mr Michelet, also on
his way home saw a red light, that he thought was on a
telecommunications tower. However, when he reached the crossroads he
saw to his right, at treetop level a series of red lights that he
thought were on an aircraft in difficulty, though there was no
landing field in the vicinity and there was no sound but that his
car. He continued on the road to Laborie, the lights pacing him at
the same speed parallel to the road. He began to ignore the lights
but suddenly he saw the lights much clearer to his left. The thing
was shaped like a diamond, with at the each of its points a sort of
beacon of rotating light, alternatively red and pale yellow. The two
obtuse angles carried a red light and each side carried two, making
10 lights in all, similar to the rear lights of cars. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
thing was about 50m away, 10m of so above the ground, the lower
portion of which was about two thirds the height of the nearby trees.
Very slowly, avoiding the tops of the trees the thing moved off. </span><br />

Jean-Pierre Prevost (25), salesman Salomon n’Diaye (25) and Franck
Fontaine (19, unemployed) were loading their station wagon with
jumble to sell at the Gisor Market outside Prevost’s flat, when
Franck caught site of a luminous white, elongated object moving
slowly towards them from the north. It was losing height and they
feared that it was an aeroplane about to crash. Salomon went to get a
camera, while Prevost went on with his work. Franck however decided
to drive off to investigate. Through the rear window of his flat
Prevost saw the car motionless, and thought it had stalled, as it had
done earlier. Then they saw that the car was surrounded by a whitish
mist and then four spheres detached themselves from this cloud, which
was faintly luminous and extended 20-30cm beyond the car on all
sides. These spheres were slightly larger than a car wheel. After
several seconds the spheres appeared to re-join the mass, which then
appeared to coagulate into a kind of luminous tube, which grew

hurried towards the car, and found that Franck was missing. He
reappeared on December 3rd at exactly the same time. He appeared
unaware that a week had passed, his clothes were still clean, he was
clean shaven and he still had his money on him. He claimed that as he
reached the central electricity plant, a sphere the size of a tennis
ball landed on his bonnet, the vehicle became surrounded by fog and
he lost consciousness. </span><br />

beach when their attention was caught by a light coming in through
their window. The light came from a sphere about 30m above the sea,
200m away, which emitted a yellow light. It was about the angular
diameter of the full moon and gave off various colours and seemed
surrounded by haze at times as it slowly descended towards the water.
Tita wanted to attract by concentrating but nothing happened and they
returned to the TV. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">20
minutes further on they were struck by a blindingly brilliant light
and Radames went outside to see what was happening. He saw a
rectangular thing with a powerful beam, like a searchlight, coming
from its rear. On this rectangular platform like object was a
humanoid less than 90cm tall, dressed in one piece platinum looking
suit. Through binoculars Tita saw the being was wearing gloves and
boots. This platform then moved off and its light went out. The
object out to sea pulsated, changing colours, and sent out a beam
towards a fishermen’s’ shack. The couple then went back in. </span><br />

about 1m above the ground ahead. She felt as though she was being
watched and shortly two beings, 1.8m tall but very thin, emerged.
They appeared completely white and “velvety” , they had large
ears but no facial features could be made out. She had a feeling that
they were discussing her which made her feel very self-conscious.,
feeling more ridiculous than afraid, feeling that they were laughing
at her. She then heard a voice beside her telling her not to be
afraid. The beings came up to her and one of them gave her its hand
in which there was something resembling a bar of chocolate. They
continued to talk amongst themselves, then returned to their vehicle,
disappearing behind it in the same fashion as they had appeared. She
noticed a faint cloud of smoke coming from behind the object, and all
of a sudden it was gone in a manner she could not explain. At the
same time the paralysis ended and she ran back to her apartment,
crying and on the point of collapse. A friend confirmed her extreme
distress. </span><br />

teenage boys were driving out of Ingersoll along Hw 2, west of
Woodstock, when they encountered an object shaped like a triangle
with rounded ends, rotating lights around the side, and flames coming
out of its back. They got out but then retreated. They drove around
the back roads, the object appearing again. For no apparent reason
they stopped and the area began to mist up. This mist appeared to be
caused by dust whipped up by an object with bright red and blue
lights above them, with things like pincers moving back and forth on
top. The lads again drove off, paced by the object, going through
numerous back roads. Suddenly the object came right on top of them
and then landed in a corn field 15-30m away. They now saw it was an
oval with lights all around it, and when it landed, they could see
three columns of red lights on one end and three on the other. It had
red lights and a white bright dome. They drove to Woodstock to go
home, but were again paced and forced back. At the Purina plant they
stopped and observed three objects in the sky, projecting beams of
light. Finally they screwed up the courage to drive home, pursued by
an erratic white light under a kind of compulsion by the object, and
disorientated. The driver found his car doors stiff the next day and
its new tires were cracked and worn. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bill Owens was returning home to Netherley from the evening shift at the
Ford Factory at Halewood along a country path when he had the feeling
that someone was approaching, and looked back to see what looked like
a motorcycle headlight. As it came closer, Bill felt a tingling
sensation on the back of his neck, and turned round to see what
looked like a fluorescent white balloon, 2m in diameter, which
approached within 1.5m, 1.5m above the ground, moving on a steady,
silent course. When about 4.5m ahead it veered upwards and then
streaked out of sight. When Bill arrived home his wife remarked on
his hair standing on end and this condition lasted for two days. </span><br />

while her mother started the car. The girl saw, in the yard, by a low

about 1.1m diameter. Meanwhile her mother found herself paralysed and
the car refused to start though its engine was revving noisily.
Hearing her daughter cry out she got out of the car, but felt she was
walking on air, though everything was normal when she reached the

than a normal man, and its arms were very short (perhaps only 20cm
long) and terminated in what might have been claws. On its chest,,
directly under the head, was a rectangular box that stood out in
relief, on which were two red lights that flashed on and off in rapid
succession. As the figure approached, Hales tried to reverse the car
out of the ditch. In panic Hales suffered a severe asthma attack, but
they managed to get out of the ditch and drive to nearby Brown Birch
Farm, where the owner called the police. Police confirmed Hales’
distressed state but searches were fruitless </span></div>

housewife, was returning to bed after seeing to her baby daughter,
when she became aware of something unusual outside. Looking through
her north facing bedroom window she saw a dark object like an
inverted cereal bowl, 3-4.5m diameter, with a large number of dull
orange lights, hovering over some houses 6m away, lower than the
treeline. As she watched, the lights flared up to brilliant white and
the thing spun away like a flung discus. As it did sol a tree seemed
to be enveloped in flame for a couple of seconds and then glow white
and then red. The lights were brilliant as the object moved away but
after about a minute they disappeared. </span></div>

awakened by a storm and got up to get a drink. Looking through the
upstairs widow, he saw a very large object, with red lights, on the
ground some 250m away. The top part was spinning and a bright white
light in the centre flashed on and off. There were two red lights on
either side of the white one and a row of three red lights on the
lower half. The body of the object was silver coloured and emitted a
sound like a vacuum cleaner, which was also heard by neighbours.
Contemporary sources say that Paul ran to his parents but they did
not believe him and he then woke his 15 year old sister Jane to see
the thing, and she persuaded her parents to look. Mrs Jenny Strutt
saw a half circle of green lights, which as it went into the distance
absorbed a red light. M<any years later Jenny Strutt she had seen
the lights hovering over school playing fields behind their house,
the top part rotating. She tried to call the police but the phone was

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Mrs Therea Gould (50) and
her daughter Nancy were sat in their living room, when Therea saw a
large yellow-orange ball of light descended behind trees. She phoned
a friend, but when she tried to use the phone 5 minutes later, the
phone was dead. Meanwhile Therea’s mother, Mrs Campbell, who lived
next door had been trying to phone Therea without success. In her
home, her great-grandson, Johnny, had been frightened by a white
figure in his room, which tried to touch him. Giles T, the boy.’s
father, tried to reassure him that it was a nightmare but as he left
the lad’s room, he heard a knock in the empty bedroom next door.
Going in, he saw, through the window, a masked and white suited
figure on top of the porch 60-90cm away, eyes staring out of the
mask. Giles fled. Later his wife Carol complained about the porch
door banging and when Giles went out to close it, he saw, as he
re-entered the house, the same figure standing outside the glass
door. The next day at 1430 Thomas Gould (52) was chopping wood in an
area north of the his house when he noticed a white suited figure
standing on a path by a tree about 27m away. The figure was 1.35m
tall, wore a squarish helmet in which Thomas could see two dark eyes
or eye holes. It had broad shoulders with arms that hung down by its
side, terminating in gloved, three digited hands (thumb, finger and
thicker part like mittens. The figure’s hands and helmet were
battleship grey. (This was a reconstruction based on a number of
encounters, not all registered). Tom spoke in English and French, and
at the latter, the figure seemed to move slightly. These figures now
being a common sight, Tom went on unconcernedly chopping wood for
60-90 minutes. On finishing, he drove down the road a short way in
his pickup. He looked back for the being but it was gone. He then
noticed what looked like a huge boulder about 45m down a slope in a
partially wooded area. He got out and walked towards it for a better
look. It was an egg shaped object wider at the front than the back.
All over the sides were small hooded windows. Its surface was dark
grey, dull, rough and seamless. It was 12m long by 4m wide. He was
too afraid to approach closely and eventually returned home. The next
morning at 0430, Tom again saw the object in the same place, and
called his children , Allan (21) and Nancy (20) to see it. Allan was
unable to see much because of the glare, but Nancy was able to make
out 7 round windows protruding from its side, evening though it was
45m away, and obscured by bush and trees. At 1000hrs on the 12th,
Allan observed, from the bathroom window, an object about 30m in the
air. It had a smooth, dull, metallic surface and was shaped like two
discs placed together, the bottom one being flatter than the top. He
could see two landing legs but assumed there were four. The object
rose slowly and vertically. Allan ran outside but it had gone. He
later found pod marks in the clay soil by the rise. The one seen by
the investigators was 113mm deep and 15cm wide. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Garry p.was driving along
the old Grafton-Armidale Road, about 16km out of Grafton when he
observed two aerial lights about 10-12k altitude, a short distance
away. One of the lights moved slowly down a mountain side, trailing
sparks. This observation lasted for about 20 minutes. Garry then left
the area, reaching Bakers Creek Falls near Armidale via Tyringham
(where he saw some people he took to be hunters by the road) a
distance of more than 150km without any coherent memory of the
journey, which he thought was much shorter than it actually was. At
Bakers Creek Falls he encountered a huge brilliant elongated object
with portholes above the ground. He thought it was a chicken coup
until it started to move. He then tried to take photographs (which
showed a yellow blur) and became involved with a second witness, who
refused to cooperate. He then drove towards the paddock but the
object retreated into the surrounding mist. He returned to the falls,
saw the fog retreating out of the ravine, then stop and roll back
towards and rapidly envelope him, reducing visibility to less than
3m. This was accompanied by a sound like a vacuum cleaner, and he saw
through the mist, a column above him where he could see the sky. The
fog and sound then faded away. Garry stayed by the falls until
morning, when he returned to the car, where he experienced two shock
waves one minute apart, which seemed to shake the entire area. Then
at 0705hrs. all returned to normal.</span><br />

getting lower over field to their left. It was a large oblong object,
with rounded edges and a shiny strip along the side. There was a
faint noise. The boys were very frightened and walked way hurriedly
as the object moved away. As they looked back, they saw the red
lights in the distance seeming stop and then moved towards them; upon

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A group of children at the
Pinchmill School Youth Club, who had seen strange lights the previous
week, observed complex of yellow and white lights manoeuvring over
Pavenham Woods. Two of the youngsters, Stephen (12) and Robert (17)
Honeywood, who lived nearby, went for their father Howard (39), an
agricultural manager. He observed the lights above the woods and in
the trees, as if close to ground level. After about 30 minutes he
decided to go and investigate in his van, the group of about 13
children piling into the back. When they reached the woods, about
2.5km south-south west they saw one of the objects overhead. The
lights then veered away westwards towards Carlton, with the van
following. About 8 lights were darting about in the sky and on
several occasions they got close, only for the light to dart away. At
a place called Turvey they pulled up at a bend in the road just
outside the village to observe an object hovering by a tree just off
the road. This light veered off towards the village and when they
looked round in the North West, they observed a triangle of lights in
a field about 45m away. The lights were equilaterally placed 11m
apart on a transparent dome, through which they could seen the
headlights of a car on a road some distance beyond. Becoming uneasy
Howard turned around to shine his headlights on the object, but it
was obscured by a sort of mist, which made them feel even more
uncomfortable so they drove away from the scene. No traces were
found. The lights resembled “flying bubble cars” the size of
helicopters, but without rotors or fins. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Four young men (aged
17-19) were out looking for pheasants to poach on farm land in the
Devil’s Garden area on the banks of the River Weaver. They were
waiting for pheasant when one of them saw a strange object coming
along the river from the south-east, about 6m above the water level.
They thought it was a satellite out of control. The object passed by
and landed in the bushes making a buzzing sound, mixed with a
peculiar sound of rushing air. It was a silvery sphere about 4.5m
diameter with a sort of skirt or rim (like that of a hovercraft) on
the underside. There were flashing lights on the sides, and windows
which emitted an ultraviolet light that made it painful to look at
for any length of time, and emitting flames from the underside. The
interior was rendered indistinct by the light. Fearing it was some
sort of atomic powered satellite, they were about to run away, when a
man wearing a silvery one piece suit came from around the side of the
object. The stranger, who had a light on the upper part of his
helmet, looked at some cattle, which the youths realised were
standing dead still, then returned to the spherical object, returning
moments later with a companion. They were carrying what looked like a
silvery metallic cage or frame, which they placed over one of the
dead still cattle, and moved the struts and bars of the cage, as if
measuring it. the young men fled from the scene to the bridge over
the river, one of them feeling a force pulling his testicles as he
ran. His testicles and legs were red and sore for some days
afterwards. His companions experienced faint tingling sensations. One
of the witnesses possessed certificates in science subjects, another
was the son of a prominent local person. They refused to meet UFO
investigators and details were provided by a newspaper reporter. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Mr A was driving down Hw
47, east of Toronto when, 1.5km from Hw 48, he observed a brilliant
fluorescent white light in a field several hundred metres from the
road. It was the size of a house, with short stubby wings on either
side. He pulled in to have a closer look and saw that the light was
hovering just above the ground. When he turned off his headlights and
put on his flashers the light began to move towards him. He walked
towards the object, which was now 200m from the road and then,
deterred by the cold, returned to his truck to observe it further.
Almost immediately the bright white light went out and was replaced
by a pulsating light. The witness made another attempt to approach it
but was stopped by the snow and when he stopped a car, a woman
passenger became afraid and they drove off. A then returned to his
truck. The object flared up white again and retreated from the
highway at an angle over the trees. A continued on his journey and
after a short distance observed tow bright lights in the sky at 150m
altitude, 60m apart, but was too intent on the traffic to take much
noticed of these lights, which may have been b=on the highway poles.
He then pulled into a petrol station and was describing the
experience to the attendant when he observed the red pulsating light
again, 100m from the station at 60m altitude. He watched with the
attendant and several customers as the light moved about 1.2km from
the station and apparently landed on a large hill, where it rested
for 5-7 minutes before it moved off to the south. </span><br />

circled and hovered. It was a square object with large yellow lights
at each corner, a slight dome on top and a red light underneath,
which projected a beam of red light toward, but just short of, the
ground. Its altitude was 150-300m. Rather unnerved the boys moved
towards a shed, from which they saw first one, then a group of
figures moving south along Memorial Drive. These figures moved in a
stiff fashion “as if stunned”. They were about 1.68m tall, bald,
dressed in bright yellow outfits with boots and gloves. There was one
who appeared to be slightly different, with a larger head, creased
down the middle like a hawk and who wore a brown coat or cape over
his yellow suit. They kept moving back and forth so that it was
impossible to say how many there were, the boys estimates ranging
from six up to eleven. At this time, the boys noticed a peculiar
silence all around them and an unpleasant odour like sulphur. The
boys then left the shed and approached by about 15-30m. They then
saw, in the parking area on the east side of the drive a woman with
medium length brown hair and a dark suit with a blue fur around her
shoulders, who walked as if in slow motion and who sat down on the
fence pointing to the sky, where the boys saw the same or similar
square object. They were so intent on this woman that they did not
see the other figures leave. The woman began walking towards the
public works garage. When a police car passed, she disappeared from
view, only to reappear when it had passed. The she began to fade away
from the legs upward, until only her top half was visible, then
walked into a solid wall. The boys began to run towards John’s
home, where his 12 year old brother Hilton saw them running towards
the house, with over their heads at an 135 degree angle, an oval
object several times the angular diameter of the full moon, with four
yellow lights around the edges and red light in the centre. The dog,
which had been acting in a peculiar manner, was now very exited as
Hilton ran to let them in. As they entered a fire alarm sounded,
which alarmed them still further. They phoned the fire brigade and
police, who investigated but found nothing. John and Hilton’s
mother arrived home at 1840 and found the boys very agitated. She had

along a narrow road close to one occupied by their friends when they
both saw a strange “box” on the side of the road. When they tried
to approach the strange thing a sort of force paralysed both them and
the friend in the car. The man got within 2m of the object at which,
they heard a ripping sound that made them tremble and the man felt
hot and breathless. Then the thing took off and circled round over an
area of 100m, 20m above the ground and then emitted an orange flash
and shot up into the sky. The woman fainted. They found a 2m area
inside of which there was no snow and the earth was completely dry. </span><br />

Burlingham, when M saw, about 9-12m from and above 12th Street what
looked like two lighted cylindrical bird cages made of thin silver
coloured wires, drawn together top and bottom to make fat sausage
shapes with rounded ends. The two cages moved around one another as
if swinging on a common pole, always the same distance apart from
each other and above the ground. At the bottom of each basket was a
bright light, which did not light up the surroundings, though it
created a glow at the bottom of its cage. Each basket was 3-4.5m high
and 1.5-1.8m in diameter, the wires about 13-25mm thick and about
10-15cm apart. The things emitted a soft humming sound. CCM ran back
to his/her mother’s house, aroused Kay and pointed out the objects,
then 45-60m away and rising. The contraption went south out of sight.
CCM then re-joined Bruce and they followed the objects south until
they went out of sight. Kay had seen a silvery connecting bar linking
the two baskets. </span><br />

covered in scales. It carried a device in its mitterned hand. The

returned to the object, which took off immediately. The observation
lasted one minute. Police searched the area, and though no official

two voices. When he came to at 0400hrs., driving west towards
Balladonia, he observed large spotlight coming towards him west to
east. Thinking it was another vehicle he put his headlights on full a
couple of times, but the other light did not respond. He then saw
that this light coming towards him was diamond shaped, with red, blue
, green and yellow lights reflecting off the roadway under it. He was
momentarily blinded by the white light and was unable to tell whether
it went over him or veered off to one side. He then stopped, got out
for a bit, before starting his journey again. He then noticed a dull
white light, apparently diameter 5-7cm, which paced the truck. This
disappeared on the outskirts of Balladonia, where he got out to
refuel. He then realised that he no longer had his shorts on, though
he was wearing them when he started out, and had no recollection of
taking them off. The object reappeared as he drove through the town,
only to disappear when the driver of a truck coming in the opposite
direction asked him if he was alright, as he had stopped again. The
light then reappeared and he switched his lights off, at which the
object changed from a round to an elongated shape (apparent diameter
42 x 20cm) of dull white colour, with black segments. When he
switched his headlights back on again 1-2 minutes later, the object
disappeared only to reappear on his right hand side At 0430 as the
sky grew brighter, the object disappeared. </span><br />

who ran a family business was going out hare hunting, along with his
dog. He drove out of his way and had a meal at a hotel, which he
later found was closed. He drove on and just past Medinaceli he felt
a need to hurry and then lost consciousness. Under hypnotic
regression he recalled that his car seemed to be under some sort of
external control and then its engine and electricals failed. He got
out, armed with a shot gun. Two men, wearing green one-piece suits
approached. They had unusually long arms, high foreheads and very
large eyes. The beings suggested that Julio follow them and they took
him to a large inverted soup bowl shaped object, surmounted by a
cupola. The thing appeared to be 60-70m diameter, 15-20m high, and at
the base of the cupola was a 15m diameter ring of multi-coloured
lights. The thing was hovering 4m above the ground and from its
centre came a sort of cylinder, 4m high, 2.5m wide, which emitted an
unsettling all pervasive white light. Julio entered the thing and at
one point had to climb up a ladder with a strange cold rail. Inside
was a peculiar multi-coloured light that cast no shadows. The beings
then examined first the dog and then Julio, taking various samples.
He was then sat at one of the consoles. The beings examined a screen
and conversed amongst themselves in a guttural unintelligible
language. They held various “telepathic “conversations with Julio
on ecology, other aliens etc. </span><br />

pointed a spotlight on them. This illuminated a grey sombrero shaped

by what appeared to be a dirt bank behind the trees that lined the
railway line by the side of the Marrans canal. He wondered if this
was an incoming train but as they rose up, he saw the lights were on
a sort of horizontal cigar about 30m long, surrounded by a sort dense
smoke. The lights resembled those of a welding arc but not as
dazzling. The object had by then topped the trees by several metres
and it now stopped for a while but turning round through 70 degrees,
suddenly flooding the area with a brilliant light, as light as day,
so that Robert, now back in his vehicle could even see the
electricity wires. He was taking this when there was a report like a
powerful canon shot, fading down to that of a shotgun blast, echoing
over the countryside. Robert jumped and looked round , to the that
the object had disappeared leaving just a faint red line over Niots.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A woman asleep in her back
bedroom was awakened by a loud noise, which became deafening, driving
her to take refuge under the bedclothes. Her daughter, a 21 year old
nurse, in the room above, was also wakened by the extended rumbling.
As she ran to the window, the noise changed into an even louder
pulsating whirr. Just then there glided through the gap between her
house and the one next door, so close that she could have touched it,
had the window been open, a silvery, metallic cigar shaped object
with a row of 20-25 horizontal lights on each side ,slowly rotating
along its horizontal axis. It was 9-11m long, about 2.5m wide. There
were no signs of doors, windows, or occupants as it sailed through
the gap at an altitude of 8m, being lost to sight behind some of the
higher flats at the back of the estate in about 30 seconds. She could
still here the noise fading away for some seconds. The experience
lasted about 3 minutes. Neither the four men nor the dog in the house
were disturbed. </span><br />

thing went away behind trees. The men rushed to their tent. When,

blue-green light about 2-2.5m above the road. He thought it was
reflection from the railway, but then it started to move slowly up
and down by 60-90cm. As he put his beam on it, two small red lights
appeared under the green one, and it took off at 45 degrees, too fast
for his eye to follow. The green light reappeared about 30 seconds
later 4.5-6m above the road. It descended to 1.5m, at which Balogh
switched on his high beam. Again, before the beam could hit it, the
two red lights came on and the thing shot off again. It soon
reappeared, pacing him 6m above the road, about 45-60m ahead,
altering speed with him. When a semi-trailer came up behind, Balogh
stopped, switched off his headlights and hailed the driver down. As
he walked to the semi-trailer he could still see the light, but
before he reached it the light had gone out. The semi left and when
the light did not reappear Balogh left himself 10-15 minutes later. </span><br />

caught by some lights flickering through the trees to her front and
right. She continued to watch these lights as she turned on the local
road, fascinated by their beauty but feeling uneasy. As she got close
to the field from which they were originating, she was surprised to
see a large mushroom shaped object on the ground. The red and blue
lights were coming from little squares on its periphery. The thing
was topped by a bright metallic cone or triangle. The object was
about 7m long and 2m high. Simone observed it for a short time, but
after less than a minute, a combination of pain in her eyes caused by
the lights, her general unease and her need to get to work on time,
made her drive away hurriedly. When she arrived at work she was very
shaken and on the verge of collapse. She returned to the field with
some colleagues at 1200hrs. They found a circle of flattened trees

“Phantom” were on Mt Bernadia for radio communication when they
saw a large circular orange object manoeuvring at fairly low

returned and landed in a wood about 200m away, behind a hillock.
“Phantom” approached the light but after he had gone 40m he fled

camping on the site of an ancient Maori burial ground when they heard
a strange sound like the buckling of tin cans, but saw nothing. Three
hours later one of the campers awoke to see a figure in calf length
silvery boots standing by her. She touched the boot which felt
metallic and cold. She could not remember anything more until
0400hrs., when all three suddenly woke up and left the area in a
hurry. Under hypnotic regression, one of the campers recalled being
awakened by a strong white light emitted from a sharp edged white
disc hovering directly overhead. The object had a dome and yellow
lights. She felt something heavy on her chest and she and one of her
friends were drawn up the beam of light into the disc, where they
conversed telepathically with a medium built occupant who told them
not to repeat any of their experiences in the craft. </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Service engineer Kenneth
Edwards (39) was driving home to Fearnhead from a union meeting in
Sale, when, as he passed within 400m of the Risley Reactor, he caught
in his headlights, which were lighting the road for 100m ahead. a
figure climbing down the 3m high embankment to the right (the
direction of the reactor). Ken was intrigued by the figure’s
peculiar stance; walking with the arms outstretched forwards down the
steep bank, in a manner that seemed quite impossible; and also by its
clothes. He stopped about 50m away, then saw that the figure was over
2m tall, with a broad body, arm that stretched out directly from the
chest, a stiff body, and was walking bending the legs at the hips as
if it had no knee joints. It appeared to be covered in a uniform dull
silver boiler suit. Its head was dark and round and appeared to be
covered by a balaclava type helmet, through which Ken could see two
small round eyes, no ears, nose, mouth nor hair was visible. It took
about 30 seconds to reach the centre of the road, where it stood
about 10m in front of the van for about 60 seconds, during which time
it turned its head toward the van, projecting two pencils of light,
from its eyes, towards Ken. Though they diverged slightly, they were
only 15cm apart when they reached the van. When they hit him, Ken
felt a sort of force pressing on him and paralysing him, while
unusual thoughts seemed to race through his head, including a
conviction that the figure “came from outer space”, The figure
then continued to walk along its previous path, coming within 5m of
the van, until it reached the 3m tall security fence on the other
side of the road, where it raised its arms, stopped for a moment,
lowered them again, and walked through the solid fence as if it were
not there and continued to clamber up what remained of the
embankment. Ken was unable to move for some minutes after the figure
had left, then, after waiting for a few moments to calm down, he
drove rapidly home; a journey that normally took only 5 minutes.
However, he found that it was 0030hrs. when he arrived home. He had
the impression that the confrontation with the strange figure had
lasted longer than he remembered. When Ken arrived home he was white
and shaking, and felt impelled to call the police and got his wife to
drive him to the police station at Padgate. Police confirmed that Ken
was reliable and sober, but could find no traces. His watch stopped
at 2345hrs., three dark marks appeared on the inside of three fingers
and the van’s radio equipment was burnt out, as if a power surge
had come through the aerial. On the 23 March at 2355hrs. Ken was
showing a UFO investigator the site when he experienced the same
pressure and feeling during the time the entity had focused its beam
of light on him. They got out of the car and walked up the
embankment. When they reached the top, the investigator walked away,
and then Ken saw the same figure again ,walking away from him along
the waste ground along the top of the embankment. Afraid, he drove
home. </span><br />

consciousness. When he came to he was in a field watching the silvery

wife and father took him home. He complained of headaches, insomnia
and flashbacks to the missing period. Under hypnotic regression he
recounted an abduction story in which he was lying on a bed watching
a bar with two lights flashing in sequence, while three pale,
oriental looking, beings, 1.35m tall, examined him,. The beings were
pale, bald, with large heads, dark eyes, small noses, were wearing
buttonless red hued jump suits. The walls and ceilings of the room
emitted a deep red light. One of the beings seemed to communicate in
perfect English without moving its lips, tell Bill that the time was
short and he must come. Bill was taken along a curving corridor to a
room filled with machinery, computers, flashing coloured lighted,
more crew members who were seated on swivel chairs and watched over a
checker board of lights. Another room contained wires and coloured
rods that the beings said were part of the propulsion system. Bill
was then told that the reason for his abduction would be explained at
a later occasion, but now he must forget. He was taken back to the
examination room, told to lie down, and they shone the bar of
flashing lights again, after which he remembered nothing till he was
in the field. </span><br />

bright close fitting overalls, which had transverse stripes. The
being approached the witness and extended its right hand, which the
man, who felt extraordinarily calm and collected, grasped
instinctively. As he did so, he felt a pain in his hand and tried to
free it, but the being’s hand felt so sticky that the witness had
to use his left hand to wrench it free. He now felt panic stricken,
but after watching him for a few seconds, the being then headed for a
landed machine, that the witness had not previously seen. Three
conical light beams came out of it, the central one drawing the being
on board. The craft then took off vertically, with a bright red
flash. The witness felt a message in his mind telling him that they
would return and provide him with something that would make him
believe in their existence and meanwhile not to tell anyone what he
had seen. The fingers of his right hand were darkened and sore as
though suffering from sunburn. The witness did not want his real name
to be given or to talk about the incident. </span><br />

very close, appearing to be 15 times the angular diameter of the

should not be afraid. When he stopped, the object also stopped. At
Langton he made a 999 call from a call box at 0445. The police
advised him to stay where he was. While he did so he flagged down
another lorry but the object had gone. This driver had seen the light
also but thought it was the moon. After the second driver had gone
the object returned, but as the lights from an approaching vehicle
appeared the object accelerated away towards Lincoln with a swishing
sound. </span><br />

into a circular object with four spheres on its underside. Inside
were dwarfs, 1m tall, wearing helmets and visors, which just ignored
the lad. He heard a rumbling sound and the object moved and took him
to a dark place where there was nothing but a field of long grass.
There he was laid out on a flat stone table where the beings put a
tube up his nose and a transparent ball in his mouth, and fed him a
liquid which made him pass out. He was missing from home from the
Friday till the following Monday evening when he was found in the
forest, his hair apparently burned off, paralysed and unable to
speak. He was taken to hospital where he gradually recovered. </span><br />

nightdress and barefooted. Instead they just carried on with their
work. She next found herself in a dome, with seats around the walls.
There was a man in pyjamas there. She remembered nothing else to the

talking to each other over their CBs, when they were all covered by a
bright blue light. The drivers were unable to see beyond the hoods of
their trucks, all outside sounds stopped, and the engines began to
splutter. This lasted for 3-5 seconds and then the light went off and
all returned to normal. The drive in the rear truck yelled out over
the CB “hey ufo I want to go with you”, upon which the blue light
came on over the trucks again, producing the same effects, this time
lasting for 15 seconds, during which time the trucks were slowed down
to 8-16kph. During this period the drivers felt as though there was
no one else in the world, and extraordinarily peaceful. One of the
drivers reported that his clock, which had previously worked
perfectly, now lost an hour a day, and that it took his battery 90
minutes to recharge. Other motorists on the freeway, about 100
people, saw the three trucks obscured by a light 75-90m long, coming
from a spout 7.5m long. </span><br />

of a light that was frequently changing colour. When the party
pointed their aerial towards it, their communications were
interrupted by a strong signal. Ten of them drove towards the thing,
noticing its yellow, red, white and blue lights. These grew brighter
and were apparently revolving around something. When the party
arrived at the foot of the mountain they were unable to see the
lights any longer. They got to look for the object, which they then
saw had landed behind a hill. One of the party was frightened and
persuaded the others to drive away. On the following day they
returned to the site and found a circle of burnt grass, 8m in
diameter, with four holes regularly spaced around it, but at
different depths because of the slope of the ground. Within this
circle mole hills had been flattened. Near this track vehicle engines
and cameras appeared to malfunction. </span><br />

moved they were rotating red and white. The thing came in front of
their car and approached to within a few metres, before following
them for a kilometre or two and then at Falloon’s Store at the

little of it, carrying on trying to get a station on his radio, when
the car was lit by a brilliant flash. Looking out of the window, he
saw an object gliding over the field 30-50m away. The thing resembled
a boxcar, 12-18m long, 3-6m high, with a multitude of flashing
lights, like those on a Christmas tree and was pacing him. It had a
middle section containing many bright white lights, and the top and
bottom sections contained duller blue white lights. Though his car
was bouncing because of potholes on the road, the object stayed
steady. After two minutes the thing ascended in a blur of speed. The
witness was a junior at Brockport College studying computer science

their 15 year old daughter and his mother Carmen, (69), saw, in a
field half way between the hamlets of Las Jarillas and El Pinar, a
bell shaped luminosity, which seemed to emit a sound like an engine.
The thing’s height fluctuated between 3m and 3.5m, and its width
was less. Over the thing’s surface were large shining red and green
lights and it was topped by a large white light. The witnesses were
very scared and drove off, the observation lasting two minutes. </span><br />

was riding his minbike with his cousin, D. P., near the family’s
ruined pig house when they suddenly glimpsed two large white heads
through the low bush about 9-10m away. Only the heads were visible,
in an attitude as if crouching behind the bushes. The heads were of
normal size and had no hair. The two youths rapidly left the site.
That afternoon at 0400hrs., Douglas and Allen Gould returned to the
same site with DP and his sister RP. While sitting and talking they
felt as if they were being watched. Doug and Allen glimpsed several
figures that faded from sight or moved too quickly to be studied. RP
and DP were sat together, when RP saw a figure standing 3-4.5m, in
profile. It was about her height (1.58m). The head an unusually a
large posterior projection and appeared to be encased in a clear
round helmet. She noticed a large, dark, oval eye, a slit like nose,
but no mouth nor ears. No hands nor feet could be seen and the ends
of flaring sleeves and pants. Its waist was encircled by a belt with
a dark central band, vertical stripes and a black buckle. Recovering
from her initial shock, she shouted out, and ran after the being,
which quickly retreated with its back to her, going into the bush
where it was lost to sight. The others did not see many details but
Allan detected a sulphurous smell. </span><br />

out, to see, in a field 100m away, a rugby ball shaped object, about
30cm long, projecting light all around. It was stationary and after
30 seconds just blinked out. They waited a while, and then drove to
the farmhouse. About 30 minutes later, as they went out to tend the
cattle, the air became filled with a squealing noise that came from
the top of the hill behind them. William called the dogs but they
refused to move, which was most unusual. They walked towards the hill
but the sound suddenly rose in pitch and then faded. Only then did
the dogs follow them, still on edge. William examined the field at
first light but found nothing. People in Burnside about 2km to the

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Constantina Imbimbo saw a
bright spherical mass 2.5m in diameter, which became smaller. When it
was down to 1.5m, there emerged from it a human shape with a pointed
head, very thin arms and legs, wearing orange overalls and dark
booties. The being descended the hill in front of Constantina’s
house, leaping and bending forwards, while the sphere was fading out.
When she yelled out, the being hid behind a tree, then dissolved into
thin air leaving behind a mist that soon dissolved. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Ann Hauprich-Neilsen, a
reporter on the Oakville Journal herald was driving home from work
along Derry Road, between Trafalger Road and Highway 25 when she
observed a bright light in the sky at 30 degrees elevation straight
ahead. She first thought it was a plane but then it started to
descend rapidly towards her, making her think it was going to crash
onto the road. Her attention was then diverted to the red flashing
lights of a van in a ditch to her right. When she turned attention by
to the aerial object, she saw it was an oval with slightly pointed
ends that shone with a silvery white glow. It had a horizontal row of
red, orange and yellow lights around its rim, the yellow
predominating in the pulsating lights. Ann now became very frightened
and sped away, going right under the object, which was now 9-12m
above her. As she looked back she saw the object hovering over the
road, moving up and down a metre or two. </span><br />

Charles and Guinevere G (12) were walking home from Warton along a
public footpath, on this clear still night, when they saw what they
took to be an aircraft moving slowly over the houses in the South
West. However it then descended until it was only 8m above the path,
some distance ahead; where it hovered making a high pitched buzzing
sound. It was cigar shaped, 5m long, 2m thick at the widest, with
pointed ends, dull grey in colour and had three erratically flashing
lights. The right hand one was red, the left one yellow-white and the
one on the centre underside orange. The whole area had become very
still and quiet. The youngsters walked towards it for a couple of
minutes, but when they got within 30m it suddenly took off vertically
and moved away to the NE at speed. They children were now very
frightened and ran home, seeing, as they did so, the object again,
over electricity pylons in the distance. It then moved very rapidly
to the south west, passing its original position and disappearing.
The observation lasted 10 minutes in all. Debra came down with
influenza shortly afterwards, and that night and for a couple
afterwards, Guinevere had a dream in which she relived the incident. </span><br />

descended until it was just above the 11 story apartment building
across the road. They could see that the object was huge and
circular, about15m in diameter and resembled one disc inverted over
another and glowing with an intense golden colour. It covered half
the roof and barely cleared the TV aerial. The centre was glowing
golden section, dissected by a series of dark vertical bars. On top
of the upper section was a protrusion like a small dome. The bottom
disc was flatter than the top. After hovering soundlessly over the

trailing a long narrow protrusion in the direction in which it was
moving. This had half the diameter of the object in length. Wendy

country area, when he came across 2-4 strange beings by the roadside.
They were 1.5m tall, wore tight fitting divers suits, had green
faces, squinting eyes, protruding cheek bones and webbed fingers.
Their suits were completely smooth with no buttons nor pockets. They
moved in a sort of gentle jumping motion and made inarticulate
sounds. The beings either forced or persuaded January to enter a
white rectangular vehicle hovering nearby. It resembled a bus, 5m by
3m by 2.5m, on the edges of which where things like barrels in which
straight and helical shaped tubes were spinning rapidly. Inside the
vehicle he saw only benches in a bleak austere black room, where he
was examined by an apparatus like an X ray machine. The creatures
then offered him some transparent food that they ate themselves, but
which he declined. They then let him go. When he reached the site the
object had gone, but some rectangular footprints were found in a
muddy section by the river. At about the same time a boy in the
village saw what he thought was an aeroplane hovering over the
granary. He called his mother but before she could go outside it took
off with a roar that shook the cottage. According to some reports two
children and two policemen also saw the creatures. </span><br />

(28) was being driven home in a friend’s station wagon when he
noticed a light in the sky like a beacon. His friends thought nothing
of it, but once Assis had been dropped off and was walking home past
a field he again saw an unusually bright “star”. This descended
to within a few metres of the barbed wire field fence, and Assis now
saw that it was a luminous sphere, inside which was a pith helmet
shaped, metallic looking object, with a row of oblong windows in the
dome. This projected down two beams of white light and extended four
metallic looking legs on which it landed. Everything became dark, as
if the town lights had gone out, but there was a starry sky, obscured
by cloud or mist. Despite now feeling dizzy, Assis felt compelled to
walk towards the fence. There he was grabbed by two humanoids about
1.1m tall, dressed in close fitting reflective white suits and
visored helmets, on top of which were two antennae, surmounted by
small spheres. These beings invited Assis, in Portuguese to go on
their craft. Despite his declining the offer the beings propelled
Assis to the circular object, on which an opening appeared, and
through which Assis was moved, up a stairway. On board Assis was
released into an environment illuminated by a non-glaring white light
and an atmosphere that made it difficult to breath. Here there were
two other entities, which were female in form, with capes over their
suits and somewhat taller than the males. These “women” were sat
in front of consoles with screens. One of the women, with dark hair,
asked him to go with them, but he again declined, protesting that his
mother would be worried about him. Another of the women then said he
should be released. The opening then reappeared and Assis was able to
walk out. Once he had done so the opening closed and the object took
off. It was now 0015hrs. </span><br />

driving home to Bagneux from visiting a friend in Montilly, when at
the crossroads of the D13 and D101, she saw a luminous orange object,
shaped like a half moon in the sky. This thing seemed to follow her
car, apparently at varying distances, as its size kept changing. This
continued for 3km until she reached Laugere. There she saw, about
600-700m to the left of the road and at some 10s of metres altitude,
an incandescent orange sphere, which then assumed the shape of
something like a lowered blind, the base of which was on or just
above the ground. The whole area was lit up like day and her car was
bathed in light. Suddenly from the upper portion of the thing there
came a brilliant beam of white light, projecting upwards at 30
degrees and lighting up the scattered clouds. At this point the
witness panicked and stepped on the accelerator, almost crashing as
she missed the turn of the road. This and the fact the thing was only
visible for only seconds prevented from taking in many details but
she was able to make out that it was a huge thing, and reached the

continual barking of their dogs, Mr and Mrs Li Puma went outside and
saw two-three luminous spheres hovering at the height of a man. They
were flashing on and off, were 30cm in diameter, red in colour and
slowly approaching the house along the road. They then saw two small
human shapes, like children covered by red cloaks, one of which was
very near, and they heard a shrill voice. Suddenly the figures
disappeared into thin air. Frightened, the couple ran home to
continue their observation through the house window. When a car
approached the spheres switched out, reappearing when the car had
passed. After 15 minutes one of the lights took off and the others
disappeared. The dogs had been barking the whole time. Two days later
at 2200hrs., Mrs Li Puma was in the house alone when she saw the
spheres again, but was too afraid to look at them for any length of
time. </span><br />

his 28 year old girlfriend were driving near Beaufort Wood when the
woman spotted a reddish light filtering through the vegetation and
coming from the eastern horizon. They first thought it was the full
moon but it then lifted up above the horizon. For a time it was
obscured by some trees, but as the couple slowed to avoid high
tension wires, the thing descended rapidly towards them. It came down
low over the electricity and telephone pylons, filling their front
windscreen. Unnerved they drove into a house driveway and stopped the
car, though they left its headlights on. As the women went to see if
anyone was in the house, but found it shuttered, the thing came down
still lower, descending down to 10m altitude, though they could not
guess at its distance. They got the impression that it was only the
pylons preventing it landing on the road or their car. Despite the
engine turned off they could not hear any sound. There was no
interference with the headlights. When they saw another car
approaching they took the opportunity to accompany it into the
village of Hautmont, the thing diminishing in size and moving off to
the ESE in the direction of Solre-le-Chateau. When they arrived the
girlfriends house, they wo0ke her mother, brother and sister and all
five saw a large disc accompanied by a bright red ball high in the
sky at 70 degree elevation. This thing did not seem to undergo any
changes so the party went to bed, the couple however were too nervous
and afraid to sleep. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">9 year old Melanie was
alone in her kitchen for a short while. She looked out of the window
to the east, to see a strange object hovering at rooftop height.
After a few moments it descended to within 8m of the house, at an
altitude of 2.5m, stopped for a moment then travelled below the
height of the 1.8m tall fence and stopped in front of the kitchen
window, 90cm away and 1.2m above the ground. At this point Melanie
saw it was about 1.8m in diameter, with a curved rilled (like a coin)
silvery plate on the bottom, surmounted by a dirty yellow dome, the
whole thing had an appearance of being tatty, with some of the yellow
paint peeling off. On top of the dome was a black circle, set on top
of which was something that looked like a handle. The object appeared
to be rotating anticlockwise and making a humming sound that died
down. As Melanie watched, a head appeared, sticking up out of the
dome. It appeared to be made of a silvery material, which, however,
was creased like leather. It was turning from side to side and
appeared to be animate but no facial features were visible. The
object then moved off again, was temporarily obscured, then it
reappeared, still low, opposite the house and moving, though the head
was no longer visible. She was now very frightened and had backed
against a wall, fearing a crash. She then fled from the room and
called her mother, but the object had gone when her mother arrived
the buzzing sound had increased when the object started moving again.
The observation lasted 2-3 minutes. The house was in a rural area. </span><br />

Mrs Collas saw her bedroom lit up as if by fire outside. She first
thought it was the farmers in their fields. But realised it was the
wrong time of year for night work. Looking through the window she saw
the fields lit up like daylight by something that resembled the sun.
This light faded a little to reveal something like a golden plate.
She wondered if it could be car lights, but then realised they would
have to have been stacked on top of each other. This light suddenly
turned red and then went out. Next she saw next to where this light
had been a silvery square, which appeared to be turning producing a
halo effect. This thing then also turned red , and both (?) now
resembled red balls. She now realised that it was 0045hrs. and went
to bed but could not sleep and so went back to the window, where her
attention was drawn to a half disc apparently hovering over Roucourt
woods, This seemed to be slowly rising and illuminating the
surroundings but then it disappeared. She thought it had gone over to
Lewade woods, where she again saw two red spheres, far too large to
be car headlights. She returned to bed but could get no sleep that
night and the next day she was too afraid of radiation or some such
to go out in to the fields and it was Monday morning before she
ventured out with her dog. In the wheat field was a three quarters
circle but this and other marks were probably made by a tractor. The
lights were estimated to be about 1.11km away. </span><br />

manager of a pet farm, mad been making later checks and was walking
back to the house when he noticed the trees behind the office become
illuminated by a white light and heard a droning noise, which was
heavy but not loud. It came from a field where two horses were kept,
and after a few minutes hesitation Bill went to investigate. As he
approached he saw a white light about 3m down from the top of a
6-7.5m tall power line pole in the middle of the field. The light was
60-90cm in diameter and Bill firs thought that it was on a helicopter
landing in the field and carried on to see what was up. He then saw a
second light about 25m to the right at the same altitude. As his eyes
got accustomed to the darkness and had climbed over the fence into
the field Bill realised that the lights came from a huge object only
55m away. It was 6-7.5m high and 26-27m in diameter. It consisted of
three sections; the top was a mushroom shaped dome, the centre was a
tube, its diameter four times its width, in which there were
horizontal, window like, slits, two on each side of what appeared to
be a door, with a walled ramp leading down to ground level, the two
bright lights were on either side of this section. On the underside
was a sort of skirt. The whole object was a dull grey or silvery
colour. After 5 or 6 minutes Bill lifted his torch to illuminate the
slits and door but as he did so the object lifted up and rose over
the railway to the south east at high speed. The TV played up
slightly that evening Bill had a dream or dreams about a fleet of
such objects over the farm and felt that he would see the thing
again. His wife first heard humming noises on various occasions. </span><br />

wished to speak to him, but would erase his memory. He came to a
room, in which there was a table illuminated by a bright white light
that seemed to emanate from the walls and for which he could see no
definite source. The room itself was dark and he just make out two
people, some small tables with buttons and what looked like a TV
screen. he suggested they should drink to the occasion, and they
brought out a hemispherical glass, which they filled with a liquid
that tasted like salty lemonade. The officer then wrote the formulae
for alcohol the wall, and they produced some. They talked for about

memory they said that they couldn’t take the risk after, as they
did not know what part of his brain had been affected by the
experience. He then came to standing in the same place and it was
clear that only seconds had, in fact, elapsed. His memory appeared
to, indeed, have been affected and he claimed that his suit and
clothes were fresher and cleaner after his experience than before it. </span></span><br />

a bright flash like a lighthouse light. The thing was about 10-12m
diameter and 15m above the ground and appeared to be resting on a

minutes the white light died out. The witnesses were afraid and got
back in their cars and drove off. Shortly afterwards Neri returned
to the site with some friends, where they saw a hemisphere, darker
than the night and oonce again fear drove them away. The following
morning a rectangular track was found in a potato field at the site.
An area 3m by 4m was denuded of plants and the ground was flattened
as if by a heavy object. Two girls had also seen the light from a
place several kilometres away. </span><br />

(OXFORDSHIRE : ENGLAND)</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A man, his wife, two
daughters (5, 3) and his sister had just passed Stanford en route
from Reading to Gloucester, when they noticed a light in the sky
ahead and to the right, pacing them at 80 kph, too slow for an
aircraft. Connected to this white light was a smaller red one. When
they stopped, the lights arced around. They were on a large circular
black object with a shallow curved underside, which crossed over the
road and descended behind some trees. Through the trees they could
see a row of small multi-coloured lights, revolving slowly from left
to right. The object rose and fell several times at ground level
without ever quite reaching the ground. It now presented the
appearance of a biconvex lenticullar object with tapering ends, which
emitted a rhythmic swish and a metallic drumming sound. The wife
became afraid and asked them to drive away. The landscape now seemed
totally distorted, with non-existent cottages, hedges and hills. The
car seemed as though it was driving itself. The light paced them,
leaving when they reached Faringdon, reappearing when they were back
in open country, finally going at Cirencester. When they reached home
they found that the journey had taken them 50 minutes longer than
usual. At 0130hrs. they heard the sound of the object passing over
the house. The adults developed a skin irritation and discoloured
marking around the knees. A casual remark from the 5 year old led to
fears of abduction. She said that she now remembered them being
stopped a second time by a disc with square windows, through which
people could be seen as it hovered nearby. A row of coloured lights
were moving around it. A light shone on them and a woman in a shiny
metallic suit led them up the beam into the object, which they
entered by a sliding door. On a sort of screen she was able to see
the car. This led to a hypnotic regression of the adults, from which
emerged an account of abduction by the inhabitants of the destroyed
world “Janos”, who wanted to emigrate to earth. These aliens were
said to look like normal Europeans. </span><br />

working a sort of control console. When he got within 25m he was
knocked out by a sort of force field, and when he came to, he saw
that his briefcase now looked old the frayed. The force field had now
gone, so he again walked to within 25 of the machine, whereupon he
was knocked to the ground by a gust of wind as the object started to
glow and ascend. It rose to 100m then suddenly took off. His watched
had stopped, but he discovered from a motorcyclist who gave him a

recalled being picked up and taken on board the object by the

down when just above the road. It paced them as they made sudden
erratic turns down side roads to avoid it. It would move on slightly
ahead and wait for them to arrive at times and when another car
passed by it rose into the air and then returned. The sisters stopped
a publican in Crayford who was stood outside but he said it was just
the moon. Not comforted they drove back to their parents’ house in

her beach house when she was awakened by an unusual loud buzzing
sound. Looking outside, she saw a large rectangular object hovering
at 30m altitude, with two smaller objects apparently connected to it.
She observed the things for more than an hour as first two and then
three men climbed ladders between the objects, and beamed silver,
gold and orange lights at the objects. One of the beings wore a
garment like a wet suit. The objects manoeuvred around each other and
projected beams back and forth before separating and moving off over

intermittent light that came from an object hovering 100m away. It
was slightly above the 8th floor level. The thing was a hemisphere
surmounted by a small dome. Anna became rather frightened but
continued to watch the thing for about 40 seconds. It gave off an
orangey white light and from its underside there was an intense beam
of such light as wide as the base itself, which was directed towards
the ground. The lower section of the thing turned rapidly right to
left, but its top including the dome was stationary. The revolving
part features beacons that emitted the very powerful beams and also
horizontal red bands, composed of numerous small lights that turned
with the lower part of the object (perhaps an optical illusion). The
base of the thing covered an apparent diameter of 40cm and it was
apparently 20-25cm high. After about 40 seconds the thing moved off

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Mark Kirk (20), a
steelworker and his wife Tina (20) a supermarket cashier were driving
Mark’s sister Anne (17), a shop assistant, home to Scunthorpe from
Skegness. When driving north on the A46 out of Market Rasen, Tina
drew their attention to some lights in a field. They thought it might
have been a plough then a jump jet, but when Mark got out, he
realised that there was no sound coming from the object, which was
15m above the ground, 45m away in a field. They drove off, but as
they got level with the object it began to pace them at 65kph. It
consisted of two very bright lights, which however did not illuminate
the ground, on a roughly oval shaped object, with a dip between the
lights. When the party turned to the right, a series of coloured
lights, at least two on either side of the main ones, came on. These
were red, orange and green and reflected a kind of metallic light
rather being self-luminous, and curved around the back of the object.
This object then swept overhead, the women straining to see it. Mark
then stopped at a farmhouse and saw the object streak away to the
south. He then decided to drive off but 800m down the road, the thing
reappeared again in the west. They now accelerated up to 110kph, the
object pacing them, fading out as they passed through populated
areas; when cars passed them the thing dimmed to an orangey line. It
continued to be visible through the rain. After they had passed
through Brigg, they saw it hovering over the A15 directly ahead of
them. It accelerated across the fields, growing larger and then began
pacing them again, as the road curved off to the north. When they
went through woodland they saw it through gaps in the trees. When
they reached a roundabout the object disappeared. There were no
effects on the car. </span><br />

Sergeant Maurizio di Pietro (21) and his friend Mrs Antonina
Esposito, all felt an urge to go up Mount Sona on the Etna Massif)
There they saw a triangle of red lights in the sky, which lights
began to pulsate. One of these detached itself from the other two and
streaked down towards the ground, landing behind the slope of Sona.
The party drove nearer, then walked to within 300m of the object,
which was sitting by a rocky precipice in the dip below them. It was
a red disc, 12m across, surmounted by a yellow dome. On top of the
main body were red and blue lights. By the side of the object, on the
precipice, were 5-6 beings of human appearance and “very
beautiful”. They were tall, with blond hair and wore black, tight
fitting, overalls. The witnesses found themselves rooted to the spot
by a strange force, as two of the beings began to climb the
precipice, gesturing at the witnesses and smiling. They approached
within 5m, before one of the strangers nodded towards the machine,
and they began to climb down again. The machine then began to glow
with myriad tiny multi-coloured lights, with red, yellow and blue
predominating. These lights went out as a car passed, only to come on
again when it had gone. At 2305hrs. the hold on the party was
suddenly released and they scrambled back to the car, driving as fast
as they could towards Catania. For some time afterwards all four felt
drained of energy. At about the same time as their experience had
begun, Mrs Giuffrida and her two sons saw, from Catania, a large
green object heading from Mt. Etna out to sea. </span><br />

40cm across and was about 10cm from the ground. It seemed to move on
tiny limbs. It hovered for about 18 seconds and then retreated in the
direction from whence it had come, towards the car park. There it

edges. The thing then seemed to change position before shooting off
towards the mountains to the south. Shorly afterwards he saw in the
east an elongated object like a cigar and then a very long object
like a huge stick with red and green flashing lights. The thing was
first seen in the distance and then came closer and they could see
two lights in the front of the thing, facing them. It then seemed to
make a sidewards move making very loud ticking sounds, like a car
backfiring, They saw other objects, including a circular object with

watching TV while her children were sleeping. She noticed
interference on the set and her dog barked. She went to the kitchen
and heard a sound like a swarm of bees that she thought came from a
nearby workshop. As she reached the patio, she was shocked to see, on
either side of the door, a small being, and behind them, on the
patio, an oval object resting on three legs. One of the beings
gestured to Mrs A to stop, while the other glided around, as if
floating above the ground. Mrs A felt paralysed, able only to put her
hands to her chest. One of the beings stroked her head, while the
other inspected the machine. Then the one who had been with her went
to the craft door. One of the beings then took an object from its
belt. This object projected a solid beam of green light, which
appeared to expand and contract, towards the kitchen. The second
being then got out another object and sprayed itself and its
companion with a sort of vapour before getting back into their
machine, gesturing to the woman to follow them, before shaking their
heads and closing the door. From beneath the craft came a kind of
smoke which stirred up dust on the patio, the object rising, while
emitting two kinds of bright yellow light, separated by 1-1.5m. The
object roe rapidly and disappeared in an instant. Mrs A thought she
saw a third being in the object. After some minutes Mrs A found she
could move again and staggered to her daughter’s bedroom. Miss A
found her mother so white, trembling and voiceless and with a rapid
heartbeat that she feared her mother was having a heart attack. The
beings wore round metallic helmets, the “colour of old silver”,
around the forehead of which was a small bluish glow that gave off a
thin ray of light. Behind their helmets, she could see their yellow,
jaundiced, faces, with neither eyebrows nor eyelashes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">They had flat
noses, deep set eyes and no visible mouth nor ears. The place of the
mouth was covered by a round piece of metal. They were 1.25m high,
dressed in clear grey, body length overalls that covered their hands
and feet. Around their waists were buckleless belts, 10m wide, from
which were hanging small cylinders. They were very thin, with
disproportionately large heads. One of the beings was slightly fuller
(Mrs A thought it might have been a woman) and wore a 15cm diameter
shiny disc on its chest. The craft was oval, surrounded by a shiny
silver band, above which were two very bright blue rings. It rested
on four conical legs. Above the silver band were two oval openings
from which shone a very bright yellow light. Through an open door,
she saw some illuminated books on the far wall, and a sort of rounded
backed footstool. Above the machine where four thin stems that seemed
to be a kind of aerial, and in the centre, between them, a thicker
one, surmounted by a sphere composed of numerous small wavering
multicoloured lights. From this luminous sphere came small threads.
The craft was, without its landing gear, 2m high and 3m wide at its
widest. About 1.5m from the object were two yellow lights without any
apparent connection to it. The witness noticed that everything seemed
silent and frozen during the 10 minute experience. As the object took
off, she thought she could smell something like ammonia. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Two teenagers Harald (19),
a railway fitter and Josef (16) an electrician were driving home in
their Alfa-Romeo car when Josef observed a luminous object of greater
angular diameter than the full moon stationary at 40 degrees right of
the road, heading at 10 degrees in the direction of the airfield. It
was a half-moon shaped object, pale red in colour, with a ragged left
contour and dark marks on the surface, which looked like folds. The
steady light seemed to illuminate only the object, which paced them
out of town, became a full orange globe and then suddenly swerved
across the road in front of them, stopping over a roof, where it
moved up and down, occasionally going below the roof. It then
continued to pace them on them on the right, while they got a
peculiar sensation of being watched. It stopped and started with the
car, kept pace with them at speeds up to 150kph. At one point it
trailed a conical glow. They lost sight of it at St Egyden, but
briefly saw it again as they drove back into Wiener Neustadt. </span><br />

walking home she sat down for a rest while the children and dog ran
on ahead. Suddenly a large orange ball of fire came out of the sky
and settled down next to a small clump of trees where she had been
sitting. Then two small men were walking towards her, and she saw her
father, who had been dead for five years, sitting beside her on the
grass. Then she looked again towards the two men, who now appeared to
be 1.5m tall, compared with her first impression of 1m. They were
dressed in peaked caps and fawn uniforms with raised button down the
front of their chests, which reminded her of those worn by
chauffeurs. They stood in front of her and talked, but she could not
understand them. As they approached she felt as though she were being
drained of energy and her blood was rushing to her feet. She passed
out and her next memory was of being taken to hospital by her
husband. She suffered from a complete loss of sight for three months
and she had a rash over the exposed parts of her body. She was in
hospital and received several months psychiatric treatment,
apparently for anxiety. Both she and one of her 14 year old daughters
sensed a presence in the house and all five children heard their
mother’s name being called and other odd experiences took place in
the house. </span><br />

and Kathy Echard, were driving towards Nebraska along Interstate 80
East along the Utah-Wyoming border some 150km north of Wheelock
Nebraska, when their attention was caught by lights by the side of
the road. They feared that it was a car crash and they fixed their
spotlights on the scene, but all they could see were three circles a
metre or so above the ground. These then changed into two sports cars
heading towards them. They headed off in the opposite direction and
were followed by a number of lights and two trucks which seemed to
have come out of nowhere. They continued their journey and when they
reached Salt Lake City they saw a basketball sized ball of light
which also spooked them. At Evansville Wyoming they found the place
close early and saw two objects, one orange the other yellow-white,
in the sky, apparently pacing them. As they came towards Green River
the car slowed and then failed and a light entered the car. They saw
strange tucks passing them on all sides, at times appearing to be
domed object moving about a metre above the ground. There was another
car behind them and when Kathy got out to talk to them, she saw a
black dog with fiery eyes and retreated. They then saw the figure of
a boy with his arms folded in the back seat and fled the car. They
saw a large spherical object approach; people appear out of nowhere
and walk around the central reservation. Another motorist then gave
them a lift to a hotel. There they found that the TV turned itself on
and a light appeared in the room. It was 1700hrs. the next day before
police took them back to where they thought they had abandoned their
car, which was not where they thought they had left it and the
scenery was different. </span><br />

parents but the thing had gone before they could get a good look.
Shortly after this they drove round the corner and saw the object
again as a circular disc with a row of windows and with a red light
on top. The thing was rocking to and fro and was changing shape and
colour and projected a beam of light towards the ground. Their
contemplation of the object was interrupted when a small boy crossed
the road ahead and they called out a warning to him. When they looked
back the object had disappeared. When first seen the thing was at an
estimated 30m altitude and on the second occasion at 50m. </span><br />

apparent reason, an unusual thing for her, and went into the kitchen.
She found that the kitchen and courtyard were illuminated by an
intense white light, tinged with red, over the courtyard. It was
moving from northeast to northwest at the speed of a cyclist and was
about 60-70m away as it passed behind some trees. She called her
husband, who first thought that it was the moon, but its brilliance
(it was too bright to look at with fully opened eyes) soon made him
change his mind. As they watched the object came from the northeast
in an even course, gradually slowing. It now stood 1.5m above the
ground some 25m from the house. The light then diminished as the
object landed, diminishing further as it hit the ground and then
flaring up as it jumped another 6m towards the house. George Teige
(72) ran towards the object but could see nothing. They had not been
able to see any details on the thing, owing to the brightness of the
light, but they thought that it was round and about 40cm in diameter
and gave the impression of being under conscious control. It made no
sound and their dog was not disturbed. The next morning they found
two signed circles 35cm in diameter in the mossy grass, which had an
oily smell that gradually faded away. No additional radiation was
detected at the site. </span></div>

from the underside and stretched out towards him. Carl fled as fast
as he could but later returned to the wood with his friend. Both saw
the object, which was about 1.8m long, 1.2m high. It was a bright
luminous blue in colour and from above and below it appeared to be
triangular, but from the side it appeared to be a shallow inverted
saucer with a small dome underneath. The object moved off into the

walking with her 12 year old daughter, while on holiday. The walk
seemed to go on for ever until they reached an area where there were
strange black boulders, small caves in the cliff face, something like
a large plate on the sea. Then, alerted by her daughter, she saw,
overhead, a large, dull metallic disc with a central protrusion. The
mother and daughter ran away in terror, meeting up with her husband
Stanley, by the car. Then all three saw a young man, dressed like a
hippy, on the beach. They tried to approach him, but no matter how
fast they walked, he seemed always to be the same distance ahead.
They returned to the car, where they again encountered the “hippy”,
who had odd veined eyes, and just smiled at them. When they returned
to the site years later they found that the walk only lasted 30
minutes and there were no black boulders or caves. </span><br />

Angeles, who was visiting friends in Rockland County, was fishing in
the Hudson when his line got caught in something, Something emitting
a light came up and broke the water. On getting closer Barry saw that
it was a circular bright silvery metallic object. On it, something
like a turret swivelled round and opened. From it emerged a small
being, 1.2m tall, covered in scales, which moved as it breathed. This
being went back inside, signalling to others to emerge. When Barry
was lit up by a passing car, the beings moved towards him. Barry fled
the 50m back to the road and hailed a passing car. They met with
state troopers who went back to the scene with him, but nothing could
be seen. </span><br />

saw someone was sat on the trailer. He seemed to be an otherwise
normal man, wearing a dark opaque helmet and loose shiny overall. In

nose pointing downwards. There were rows of circular lights on both
upper and lower sections (10cm diameter, 50cm, apart) changing
colour, red, green, orange. Three other, similar beings were in a
field bordered by barbed wire, their lanterns directed to the ground
as if searching for something, while speaking tom each other in a
chirping language. These beings walked right through the barbed wire
fence, as if there was nothing there. After about 15-20m the original
being instructed Benedito to walk around the object several times,
while its companions entered it through via ladder. When the being
told Benedito to stop, the three exited again through a shute. The
being then told Benedito to enter the machine, directed the lantern
into Benedito's face, at which he lost consciousness again. When he
recovered the being was stood by him again and dawn was breaking. The
object was now about 2km away. The being directed its torch to the
object and then took off, rising to a height of 20m and then flew
towards the object in the distance. This object then took off,
disappearing in a puff of smoke. Benedito then carried on with his
work. </span><br />

work was crossing the 20m long Newtown Road Bridge on this clear
night when his radio became filled with static and the car engine
failed, though the lights were unaffected. . The driver got out to
inspect the engine and became aware of a flickering red, yellow and
green light above the bridge. The light then began to descend, and as
the man got back into his car, filled the area with its brilliance.
It was a rapidly rotating sphere, which shot out flares all around
before splitting into three parts. These lights were amber and
basketball in size; one going under the bridge, the other circling
over it and the third circling his car. The three spheres then merged
again which then just disappeared. </span><br />

was driving his 1976 pickup in Hw 38, 800m west of Nisula when a
conical object, with two steady red lights at the ends and one steady
white light in the middle, approached from the east. As it flew
silently, very low, over the truck, it had a larger angular diameter
than the full moon. The truck then stalled out for a second and he
had to turn the key to start it again. The cone carried on, moving up
and down and in all directions. When he arrived home, 2.5km further
west, he was joined by his wife and daughter. The family observed the
red lights through binoculars, moving up and down and back and forth
slowly from the east to the south. The truck had no previous history
of stalling. The man was extremely frightened. </span><br />

three boys, David H (11), William S (11) and Paul J, playing football
on the Maes Athen Estate. They saw an object that they first thought
was a helicopter, then saw was a bullet shaped white light, descend
behind some trees to the south. It appeared to be slightly larger in
angular diameter than the full moon; across the centre was a band of
small red lights. William saw the object explode into a sphere as
they stood talking about the incident. It now appeared as an inner

could be seen in the increasing gloom. They appeared to be wearing
grey one piece suits. One had a vertical black and horizontal red
band, the second a silver band. The first figure had its arms in the
air, the second was walking stiffly, its arms by its side. By either
2025hrs. or 2035hrs. the figures had gone. David ran off to phone the police
and noticed unusual interference on the line as he did so. The other
two boys had gone off to various people about what had happened. One
of these was Mrs Patricia Owen (21) who went up to her bedroom to get
a good view of what she assumed was probably a helicopter. She saw no
object but did see three figures about 1.8m tall walking behind a
hawthorn hedge about 95m away. They were slim and dressed in one

William and Paul ran back into the village they encountered Mrs
Patricia Parry (27), who also saw a silver white light hovering over
the field and descending. The descent of the light had also been
observed by John Roberts, from a farm south of the village. The light
had been shortly before its descent by Mrs Betty Owen. There were
other reports of a strange light in the sky and one of the witnesses
to this, Miss Vivienne Roberts claimed to heard metallic voices
outside her house at 0100hrs. the next morning. Later barley in a
field was found flattened. Some of the investigators considered that
this was an unacknowledged military exercise. </span><br />

opened his upper floor window, heard a sound like ducks mixed with a
hissing sound and, looking in the direction of a cornfield in front
of the house, saw a metallic cigar shaped object rising from the
corn. The sound stopped and the object started to swing laterally. It
then shot up into the sky until it was just a dot, which stopped and
then turned south. From the side of the object, there projected a
conical or cylindrical protuberance, which moved up and down. The
lower part of the object was dark; the upper part reflected the sun.
The object was 9-10m long. The observation lasted about 5 seconds.
Accompanied by his mother and 8 year old sister, he ran into the

flat without being broken, some 25m from the road and 40m from the
railway. In the centre of the site there was a sort of hole. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">12 year old Oscar was
riding his horse in the morning mist, gathering in the horses, when
he saw objects arrive, one each from the south, west and east. The
horse nearly bolted, and despite the boys concern he was sent out
again. Here he found a hemispherical domed object about 10m diameter,
5m high, with small windows, on the ground. The animals all scattered
as an opening appeared and a ladder led down to the ground. In the
opening stood a being over 2m tall, wearing a cylindrical helmet and
long gloves, that appeared to be connected to some sort of breathing
apparatus attached to the object. The being invited Oscar on board,
and from the entrance, he was able to see the interior, in which
there were buttons, tables and a small “robot” busy cutting up
animal bones. Oscar jumped down from the object and the being joined
him. At Oscar’s request the being gave him one of its gloves,
revealing a green, clawed hand in which the middle finger was the
shortest. The being pricked the boy with one of its claws. Though
Oscar rode off with the large heavy glove, two other objects caught
up with him and sent out a slab and a sphere which retrieved the
glove like magnets. Oscar’s horse took ill and died after the
incident and the boy developed spots. A horse was found butchered on
the estate. </span><br />

sensible, boarding at the San Michele boarding house was going to bed
when he heard strange sounds coming from the road. Opening his
bedroom curtains, he saw two odd spherical objects, close enough
together to form a figure “8”. From them came indistinct
whisperings like someone talking on a radio in a strange monosyllabic
fashion. After 6 minutes the spheres took off into the sky, with a
strong blast of air. The next day two clear round tracks were found
in the asphalt in the road. </span><br />

dozens of people in the Sassello area saw a bright white, almost the
angular diameter of the full moon, at first hovering motionless for
an hour over la Carta hamlet before moving south hovering over
Albarola for a few minutes before finally moving out of sight behind
some hills near the shore. As it hovered over La Carta the lights in
the San Michele boarding house behaved in a strange manner, some
switching themselves off, others the ref fluorescent light dimmed to
a red filament, other changed colour while two of them behaved
normally. The owner, Piera Viacava, switched on the TV, but the
picture and sound were distorted and the image of a large red eye
appeared on the black and white screen. When the light had moved over
to Albarola, two youths, Ubaldo Boreani and Marco Baglini, tried to
approach it on their motorcycles, but when they reached the ski
tracks their headlights started to turn an abnormally bright, intense
light. This so frightened them that they turned back, their lights
returning to normal as they did so.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">They informed Franco Viacava of
this experience, and he drove to the scene in his Fiat 500 with two
friends. Suddenly the engine started to lose power and the car slowed
to 25kph, the radio switched itself off and the tape recorder refused
to function. When 800m further on, the light had disappeared behind a
hill, all returned to normal. A French woman driving in the area
found her car suddenly stopped as the thing hovered right over her.
Her dog began to sniff nervously and when she let it out, it began
barking. When the object left the dog stopped barking and the car
functioned normally. Meanwhile Franco had returned home and the tried
to listen to the radio but he suddenly heard a hissing sound and
strange echoing voices, while the radio broadcast went off and the
dog started barking. His radio functioned normally next day. Roberto
Boeri and some friends saw the light land on a motocross track behind
a hill. There they found two circular tracks in a figure “8”, the
circles being about 2m in diameter. </span><br />

break in. Instead of the thieves however they encountered two beings
about 1m tall, dressed in bright blue one-piece suits, with dark blue
helmets. Through the latter the two Miguel’s could that the
strangers’ faces were brown and freckled. The dwarfs also had
bright blue boots and dark gauntlets. One of the beings was pointing
an implement like a hair dryer at them, and a voice seemed to warn
the friends not to shoot at the strangers or they would be taken to
their saucer. One of the beings then raised its index finger to its
nose and both promptly vanished, only to reappear moments later. This
happened again, each time with a sort of ringing sound. The dwarfs

of the onlookers thought they saw a red object rise from the smoke
and meet two star like lights, which were dancing in the sky. While

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Mrs Ultimina Boscagli and
her son Riccardo (12) heard an intense noise like artillery fire and,
looking up, saw a yellow-orange fireball with a red trail that
vanished in a blinding flash. The object was round, red on the
underside and bright white on top. The noise and light were also
perceived by Mrs Santina Faralli, who noticed that the electric
lights went out for a moment, then came back on. Soon afterward her
son Rivo (25), a barber, arrived for a short visit, leaving at
2100hrs. He had only driven a few metres from the house, when his
car’s electricity cut out and it stalled and stopped. While he was
wondering about this a bright object preceded by a red light beam
landed on the road in front of him. The lower part of the object was
discoid, while the top was an orange hemisphere. The object, which
appeared to be standing on three iridescent beams of light, varying
from yellow to green, red and blue, was so brilliant that it
illuminated the surrounding area. The object was about 3m in diameter
and covered the carriageway, touching a dry stone wall with one edge.
Suddenly, something like a double door opened on the object and two
beings descended in a fluctuating motion until they were about 10cm
from the ground, their heads level with Rivo’s as he sat in the
car. They were 1-1.1m tall, had green coveralls, large helmets, part
of which were transparent. Through their visors their skin appeared
to be green, their faces were lean with bony arched cheeks, regular
noses and thin, lipless, mouths. Their eyes and ears were hidden by a
shaded zone. On the front of their helmets were two protuberances
like springs. Their garments were one piece and tight fitting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">They
walked towards the car with an awkward gait and circled around it,
appearing to have more interest in the car than in Rivo. When they
were behind the car, Rivo could still see them in the driving mirror.
Having circled the car, they returned to the object with the same
fluctuating motion. The first entity then entered the illuminated
dome, followed by the second, which before it entered looked back at
Rivo, as if it wanted to say something, then turned away and entered
the dome beside his companion. Once inside, Rivo could only see their
heads and shoulders and could not make out if they were sitting or
standing. After the second being entered, the doors closed, and as
two very powerful beams came from the underside, the object rose up
vertically for 10m, then shot away horizontally. As the object
disappeared the car’s headlights came back automatically, and the
car, which was still in gear, began to move forward. Rivo was
frightened and experienced sore eyes for three days. In the next
street, at about 2130hrs., TV receivers went off for about a minute
then returned to normal. At the site a black circle 50cm in diameter,
which appeared to have been made by a great heat, was found. Bushes
and stone nearby also showed traces of fire. Nothing of interest was
found in the analysis. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Giorgio Filiputti (47) was
out fishing at a spot called Malaria on the river Corno when he heard
a piercing whistle, which he first thought was local machinery, and
then felt a breeze from behind which rippled the water and rustled
the vegetation. This continued for about three minutes, so thinking
this wind was going to ruin the fishing, packed it in and climbed up
the embankment. There he was confronted, to his terror, by an egg
shaped object 4-5m wide, surmounted by a cupola, and standing on
three legs about 1.5m tall. The completely smooth, shiny metallic,
object was about 3-4m thick including the cupola. The legs seemed to
consist of two tubes, the upper thicker than the lower. Almost at one
he saw, coming from the right of the cupola, a being about 1.3m tall
wearing a tight fitting, silvery, scaly overall and dark boots. The
stranger had a dark, bronzed face, almond shaped eyes, extending back
to its ears, but with a normal nose and mouth. On its waist were two
dark containers 15 x 8cm. Giorgio was shocked and scared by this
appearance, as was, apparently the being, which, after some
hesitation, continued on its task, which seemed to consist of
adjusting a semi-circular gadget on the object, while keeping an eye
on Giorgio. After the completion of this, the being walked back round
the cupola and disappeared. A few seconds later there was a
thunderous rumble followed by the piercing whistle as the object
slowly took off vertically, the landing gear being retracted into the
underside, which was a sort of grated hemisphere, as it did so. From
it came to tongue of blue flame 60cm long. The thing then turned on
its edge and shot away at terrific speed. He found three 50cm
imprints at the site. He was reluctant to talk of the incident, and
did so under pressure from his brother, who was concerned about his
state of mind. </span><br />

was beaming into the sky like a searchlight. Caroline became
frightened so Trevor drove her home and then returned to the site in
his firm’s van at 2230hrs. He drove down Babbington Lane and turned
off down farm tracks and halted next to a hedge 2.5-3m high. Trevor
got out and stood on either the sill or the seat and, looking over
the hedge, observed the top of a glowing object, shaped like a light
bulb, the visible portion of which was 3m high, 6m wide. It did not
light up the field, but projected a beam up into the sky. After
observing the thing for about a minute Trevor decided to get another
witness, but when he returned to the site with his elder brother
Brian, the object had gone. An anonymous, independent second witness,
a man illegally dumping waste could not be traced. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Two stragglers in the
South America Rally, shoe shop owner Carlos Acevedo (38) and his
mechanic Miguel Angel Moya (28), both from Chile, were driving near
Salina de Piedra and Salitral del Algarrobo when Carlos, who was
driving, noticed a very bright dense yellow light in the distance. At
first it was only a point, and as it closed on them as they were
doing 100kph, they thought it might have been a powerful rally car
and drew to the right and slowed to let it pass. The light was now
filling their entire rear view mirror and suddenly their Citroen was
filled with a bright dense yellow light, tinged with violet. Their
car appeared to be out of control and when they looked through the
window, they saw that they were about 2m above the ground. They
braced themselves for the bump back but instead the car continued its
ascent. Carlos looked out of the window but could only see the yellow
light. He yelled out to Miguel but got no reply and found that the
almost liquid light prevented him seeing either Miguel or the
dashboard. Miguel was able to Carlos and yelled out to him, as if
across a great distance but could not hear him. Miguel felt paralysed
and the temperature increased. The light then became so bright that
they could not even see their own hands and time seemed to lose all
meaning. Then there was a bump and they were on the road again, the
yellow light gradually withdrawing from the car, so that they could
see more and more of it. Carlos saw a truncated cone of light 4-5m at
the base, 2-3m at the cusp and 6-7m high disappearing to the west,
lighting up the area. This light folded up into a yellowish-white
oval which disappeared into the west. Miguel felt a pressure on his
chest. Though they had travelled over 150km from where they last read
their distance meter, the meter actually read 52km and a journey
which should have only taken 75 minutes had taken 140 and their
reserve gas tank was empty though it had been filled with 40 litres
of petrol. No traces were found. </span><br />

marks were found on the shutters. There was a military investigation. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Chauffer Henryk Marciniak
(31) was spending his day off mushroom picking. He saw a small wood
and dismounted his motorcycle to go and explore. As he did so he
noticed an ovoid cylinder surmounted by a sort of cupola sat on four
legs in the clearing. An opening then appeared in the thing in which
two humanoids appeared. One of these gestured to Henryk and then
descended a ladder and came towards him. This individual was 1.4m
tall, had green skin with webbed hands as long as his arms and was
dressed in a dark one piece suit. The eyes were red, glassy and
slanted obliquely. The other being descended and the duo seemed
interested in the mushrooms and in Henryk’s motorcycle and he
obliged by driving around a little. One of the beings had something
like a camera and they spoke in a strange high pitched voice like a
record played too fast. After Henryk had finished the cycle
demonstration, a sound like an alarm bell came from the object and
the beings rapidly re-entered it, the one with the camera like thing,
expression annoyance at this. The thing retracted its legs, rose to
tree top height, and then rose up vertically, disappearing in 15
seconds. When Henryk went to the landing site, he saw four marks on
the ground. </span><br />

down a country road suddenly saw lights behind him. Thinking it was
the police, he slowed, but the lights kept pace, even when he turned
down a very minor side road and rounded several sharp bends, always
keeping the same distance. It was a row of about 6 white lights with
ah hazy dome above them and two intense rectangular headlights in
front. Immediately he entered the village, he lost the thing in the
glare of the street lights. He stopped at a phone box by nothing
passed him and there was no way any vehicle could have turned off. </span><br />

worked with a steel company, was driving through a residential area
north of Omaha, with a friend, when she saw a dark cone of much
greater angular diameter than the full moon, noiselessly approach her
car. On the thing’s underside were three very bright white lights,
which appeared to be moving back and forth, but not flashing. It
slowed down and dropped back to the east, flying low. The two women
passed it in their car. During this encounter a tape playing on the
car tape player became erased. No other tapes were affected and the

spotlighting for either pigs or kangaroos on the Beardmore property
near St George, when they observed a light approaching their car at
treetop height. They turned round and the object followed them,
oscillating up and down. When they stopped to open gates the light
also stopped, then approached and shot up into the air. 100m from the
homestead the car engine died. Through the site of Murray’s
telescopic rifle, the thing appeared to be the size of a fridge, and
was oval with orange flames coming from its underside. The boys fired
at it, it moved to the west on one shot, reversed its motion and rose
up on a second, but did not react immediately to a third. It did
however then move away to the west. Murray’s father John (a farmer
and former alderman) ran outside when the terrified youths arrived at
the house, and saw an orange oval in the distance. He persuaded the
lads to join him and they drove after it. They lost light of it, but
picked it up again in the distance, finally losing sight of it at
2300hrs. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b>GROENDAL RESERVE (CAPE
PROVINCE now EASTERN CAPE : SOUTH AFRICA)</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Four schoolboys from
Despatch; Peter S (16), Jannie B (15), Hugo F (12) and Joe F (13-no
relation) were on holiday and gone into the nearby nature reserve,
with its heavily wooded hills and valleys, for a hike on this
overcast day. They were waiting by a stone monument for Mrs S to pick
them up, tired after their hike, when they saw a silver gleam among
the trees opposite, which they took to be a large stone shining in
the sun. The Jannie saw, about 275m west of this shiny object two men
dressed in brilliant silver suits that resembled aluminium foil, and
drew others attention to them. As the figures were the size of
ordinary adults the boys first took them to be poachers, but their
strange suits and strange gliding walk “as if they were walking on
trolleys” soon caused them to change their minds. They were unable
to distinguish arms, legs for facial features. The beings came from
the direction of the glistening object and when they were half way
across the hill they were joined by a third figure that suddenly
appeared. It carried what looked like a silvery suitcase, though not
by the arms, and the lads were not able to make out how it was
attached to its body. The figures moved up to a fence and climbed
over it, the one in the back turning to look in the boys’
direction. They could now see that its silvery suit came down over
its forehead and that its face was grey. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">During this time Peter felt
as though he was alone on the hill with no one else about, the other
boys also said they had a peculiar feeling. The beings then moved
along the fence in the same stiff fashion towards to the top of the
hill, without bending (something quite impossible for a normal person
in that terrain) and when they reached the top they disappeared on
the spot. Hugo noticed that the round object had also disappeared.
Thinking about the affair later, the boys recalled that the strangers
had covered the terrain much faster than a normal human being could
have done. At a spot 2km from where this happened, forestry workers
Adrian Pople, Cedric Kaptein and William Five encountered strange
oval prints 18cm long. At the site where the boys had seen the object
police found a large area of depressed grass and trees in oval
depression around which were eight symmetrically and regularly placed
marks, each containing three deep impressions. In addition there were
four marks inside the oval. Two geologists from the University of
Port Elizabeth examined the site and noted the absence of burn marks
or residual radioactivity. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Snack bar owner and radio
ham Hideichi Amaco (29) had been using his mobile transmitter in his
car on the top of a mountain for better reception. he had just
finished and was about to go down when the interior of the car
suddenly became brilliantly illuminated. When he looked out of the
open window. he was surprised to see no source for the light, which
was entirely located within the car, not seeping out through the car
windows. He then noticed that his two year old daughter was lying on
the front seat with foam in her mouth. He then saw a circular orange
light illuminating his stomach, the source of which was a point in
the night sky. He then felt a metallic object being pressed on his
right temple and turning to the right in fear he saw a peculiar
creature. It had a round face with no neck, on its forehead was a
triangular depression, its ears were large, with sharply pointed
upper edges. Its two, very small, motionless eyes emitted a
blue-white glow, like lamps. From its mouth came a sort of pipe,
which was pressed against Aamaco’s temple. from this came a high
pitched jabber like a high speed tape playback. He could not see if
it had a nose. Amaco tried to start the car but the headlights and
engine would not function properly. This continued for 4-5 minutes
and Amaco sensed that he was getting vaguer and unable to move. After
this 4-5 minutes, the figure, light on his stomach and interior
illumination all faded away; then the headlights, engine and car
radio and stereo all began to function. His engine now working, he
drove away in panic. During the journey his little girl woke up
thirsty. When he arrived home Amaco had a bad headache. Under
hypnotic regression he said the creature would return, investigators
considered this to be an artefact of improper hypnotic procedures. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Mrs Dora Strugell (69) was
showing her grandson, Bruce Morgan (16) a coyote through the dining
room window. Between the coyote and a cow and calf in the pasture,
250m away was a white object. Dora first thought that it was a white
calf, but when she mentioned it to her husband Martlett (71), he said
that they didn’t have a white calf, and her daughter Frances Morgan
(37) suggested it might have been paper. When Martlett looked for
himself at 0900, he saw that it was a metallic object and speculated
that it might have fallen off an aircraft. Shortly afterwards as
Norman (24) and Martlett Strugell were working in the tractor,
Raymond (37) and Bruce Morgan walked towards the object. At this
point the thing rose to an altitude of 10-15m and moved through an
opening in the walnut trees to the west. It ascended rapidly, slowed
as it gained altitude, turned slightly to the right and then to the
left and proceeded to the northwest. By now the 6 witnesses’
attention had been caught by a large wingless airplane, standing
still in the sky, which came into view as a cloud drifted away from
it. As the small oval object neared and then converged with it, the
cylinder moved off without a sound.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The consensus among the witnesses
was that the smaller object was sharply defined ovoid shape,
reflecting the sunlight, about 1.2-1.5m long, 90cm-1.2m high. It
appeared white on the ground, brilliant silver in flight. On the side
closest to the witnesses was a long dark streak, which rotated around
the thing’s circumference every 2 seconds or so. Investigations by
the sheriffs’ department showed traces as though a tripod had been
standing in a 1.2m diameter circle of scorched grass. The three
circles were 15-20cm in diameter; the two closest were 60cm apart,
75-90cm from the third. Along the outer edge of each circle the grass
had been removed, exposing bare soil, while in the inner part the
burnt grass was twisted in a clockwise direction. The grass in the
rest of the circle was intensely dried. Later in the month after the
first frost had turned most of the former lush field brown, the oval
was surrounded by a ring of fresh green grass. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">3km north of River Bridge,
Deanne Kearns, a student in the 10th grade, observed an object shaped
like two plates, one inverted over the other, surmounted by a sort of
spire, and with a row of windows and red and green flashing lights.
The object, which was the size of a three story house, touched ground
about 90m from her, then rose up 60-90m, where it hovered for about
10 minutes, making a buzzing sound like a generator. The object
emitted a beam of light, down which two beings 1.5-1.8m tall
descended, took earth and plant samples, and then returned via the
beam to the object, which took off straight up. Deanne could not make
any distinct features on the beings. They were black or brown in
colour, had tentacles on their sides and blob shaped heads. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A left wing politician in
his mid 50’s, who absolutely insisted on anonymity, was out for a
walk, hoping to photograph eagle's nests, when the crows suddenly
became quiet. He set up his camera, but noticed unusual reflections
in his view finder. On looking round he could see nothing, but he
heard a faint buzzing sound that disappeared suddenly. He continued
setting up his camera but after time his teeth began to feel on edge,
the hair on the back of his neck stood on end and his camera and
watch seemed warm. On turning round, he observed, about 20m away, an
oval object about 5m in diameter, surrounded by antennae. By it were
two blond individuals, more than 1.9m tall, dressed in blue-grey
suits that appeared to be made of a plastic material. One of the
beings was bent over a metallic looking tube that seemed to be poking
into the ground. The other held a box, above which a sphere was
floating. the buzzing reappeared and stopped again. The tube carrier
then stood up and gestured to the witness, who stood up and
approached, feeling a sensation of heat as he did so. He asked loudly
if they needed help, but his voice seemed be thrown back at him
distorted. Now somewhat afraid he asked what they were doing. The
stranger made no reply but kept on making gestures, drew the tube out
of the ground and folded it up like a telescope. The two beings then
returned to the craft, the buzzing recommenced and the witness began
to get the same unpleasant sensations in his mouth and neck as
before, and noticed that the ground was vibrating. He went back to
his camera as the object rose up about 2m. The sound increased but he
could see no signs of rockets or other engines, though he made out
three circular spots on the underside of the object from certain
angles. He took two or three pictures before the object rose again
and disappeared, the buzzing going away at the same time. He was left
with a metallic taste in his mouth that lasted for two days. He
noticed a small funnel shaped hole in the ground, 20cm in diameter.
His pictures turned out to be completely fogged. He would not agree
to a detailed investigation. </span><br />

was a dome topped by a red light, and stretching out in front of this
was a torpedo shape, with a white light on the front tip. Green
lights ran along its underside. A car ahead slowed down and then
speeded away. Joyce, very frightened, also accelerated away. The

was revolving and that it had a darker area. Under the water they
could see a large body. Getting increasingly frightened the trio
drove away, but a few minutes later they heard the buzzing sound and
saw a high flying flattened yellow sphere moving north west. They
stopped and pointed a torch light at it, upon which the object
changed direction and headed towards them. They fled in terror. </span><br />

dark shape with a red light on each end, one of which was flashing on

observed it. A farmer and his daughter, north-east of the presumed

under construction, which they knew, estimating the thing’s
diameter to be 60m. The object was only 6m above them. Kevin found

driving on the Norton to Dronfield Woodhouse Road on this clear
evening, when Mrs Storer, in the back seat with her baby, saw a large
red light at about twice rooftop height. She first thought that it
was on a pylon but realised that it was moving and was too low to be
a plane. The thing paced them, then shot up into the sky and down
again and crossed right over them onto the other side of the road. It
paced them for another 400m before it was lost to sight behind
buildings. When it was overhead Mrs Storer saw five or six dim
yellow-white lights, and the outline of some dark bulky object on
which the lights were placed. Later, when they had reached home she
went into the garden and saw the red light again. When she waved at
it, the thing disappeared. </span><br />

out to fetch some firewood, saw a big fiery light coming down towards
a soya bean field. When she went to investigate, she started
screaming for her sister, Mrs Cathy Wilfong, as she encountered a
huge object, with one red and two white lights, and a sort of circle
on the underside, which flew sideways behind the barn in slow motion.
The object was about 36-42m long and made no sound. Cindy ran into
the camper and Cathy ran to fetch her camera from the garage, but
could not find it so ran back into the house, followed by Cindy.
During this time their dog was barking. They phoned the sheriff and
their mother, who lived 9.5km away. The latter observed the lights
moving off as she got within 7km of the Wilfong residence. The
sheriff’s department arrived 30 minutes later and said that the
object was a helicopter. </span><br />

Sandy looked up and saw a light approaching. It was travelling slowly
and reminded her of a giant hovercraft. She tried to draw her
companions’ attention to it and by the time she succeeded it was
less than 30m away. It was about 45m long, and “three floor length
windows” high. Both Sandy and Kim saw people inside, through the
windows, it looked as though they were drinking whine, the couple
could have sworn they heard music. Geralin’s face seemed
illuminated by the light from the object. sandy seemed to lose track
of time until the object lifted up and she heard Henry calling them
to get back to digging the car out. It was now 2120hrs. The group
seemed to forget about the incident until returning from the party.
Under hypnotic regression Sandy recalled “seeing” the people “not
through sight” as the object passed over. There seemed to be crowds
on board, someone was navigating, the party was “wild not happy”,
there was a sound of scrambled music, like a big band, there were two
darks at the back, the object just vanished. </span><br />

attention was caught by a light in the darkness in a park on the

he went up to investigate, suspecting it was a tractor, the lights of
which had been left on. Instead of a tractor he was confronted by
something shaped like a shell or bomb about 5m wide, 2.5m high,
topped by a smaller dome, from which came a steady orange light. This
illuminated its brown lower section and the environs for about 30m
around, though the things base remained hidden in the shadows. After
a number of minutes the light changed intensity, as if, the witness
thought, someone had walked in front of a lamp. The thing then took
off slowly, silently and vertically, rising to the height of a
hilltop and then turned 90 degrees and moved off to the east at high
speed, till only the light from the dome was visible through the
clouds, eventually being lost to sight behind the houses skirting the
road. The observation lasted five minutes. The witness inspected the

orange and red again. They stopped to watch and were joined by a man

lights, which were circling and appeared to descend towards them, so
that they could see that the lights were on a vague dark shape.
Unnerved, Brenda and her son drove on and were travelling on a road

following them, joined for a couple of seconds or so by a blue light

technologist in the company of her psychiatrist sister, her 10 year

light was moving in the clear sky; it stopped and sent out blue light
rays, then moved off behind a small hill, from which came two small
lights, one yellow, and the other red. Frightened, the five witnesses
ran upstairs and watched from the window as the two lights stopped
next to a road. As a car came along and illuminated the scene with
its headlights, the women could see that the lights were worn on the
abdomens of strange flying beings. These were conical, twice as large
as human beings (3-3.7m) and wore translucent sheets. One witness saw
three black humanoid silhouettes cross the headlights of the car,
which had now stopped, and move to the driver’s side. The lights
and the car headlights now vanished, and loud sounds like a metallic

in the lights from the house. The women and their neighbour ran out

incident had lasted 45 minutes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Elsie Oakensen, the head
of a teacher’s centre in Daventry was driving home. One of her
front side lights was still not working, despite the car having come
from the garage, so she drove with dipped headlights. She turned
right onto the A5 at the Weedon traffic lights and noticed two very
bright lights immediately above the road ahead of her, red to the
left, green to the right. She first thought that it was a very low
flying aircraft, but then realised that the lights were stationary.
They were on something shaped rather like an hour glass on its side,
15m across, no more than 45m above the road. She heard nothing as she
directly under the thing. As she approached Church Stowe she looked
back on three occasions to see the flashing green and steady red
light. She changed to third gear and put her foot down on the
accelerator. He lights were still working but the engine was silent
and dead, and the car was rolling to a halt. She changed from third
to first, pressed the accelerator and the car started again, though
she did not turn the engine on. But she had only gone 100m before her
car was stationary again, the engine and lights were out and
everywhere was in pitch blackness in a way she had never experienced
before on that road. Suddenly piercing brilliant white circles of
light about 1m in diameter came from nowhere, starting at the left of
the car and going in front of it to the right and then returning
again. There were about 12 flashes in all, the last one going up into
the air. The she was in complete darkness again. Elsie then found
herself driving along in 3<sup>rd</sup> gear and drove home, with no
memory of stopping or starting again. The journey took about 10
minutes longer than normal. When she got home she saw a yellow
flashing light over the approximate site from her bedroom window. The
sidelights now worked normally. She had twice experienced a
tightening feeling around her head that day at 1300hrs. and 1700hrs. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Five friends were out
hunting with flashlights in the area just east of the Guadiamar River
in the area between the towns of Gerena, Anznalcollar and Olivares on
this dark, rather cloudy but windless night, with good visibility, on
part of the “La Pizana” estate, 3km south-west of Gerena. One of
the party returned to the car, while the other four went into a thick
grove of eucalyptus trees. These were Manuel Gordillo, Francisco
Lopez Rivero, a gypsy and another man, Manuel drew the others’
attention to some red lights on something on the ground in the
distance. They first thought it might have been a car, but after they
had crossed the stream to the side where this object was, they saw it
was something peculiar, but were too engrossed in their hunting to
take much notice, but then became alarmed. Manuel led them closer to
the wavering red light, and noticed someone walking around a row of
lights. The lights were about 3m high, 4-5m across, were
multicoloured and close to the ground. Manuel, who was stretched out
on the ground, only saw the stranger from the waist, as he approached
them, passing about 10m from the object, which was 30m away. The
stranger was very tall, appeared to be wearing boots, and made a
mumbling sound that sounded as though it was coming from a deep well.
After it had advanced, it was lost to sight, but then reappeared and
grabbed something. Francisco, who was further back, managed to see
some more details. The object resembled a large inverted earthenware
jar, with a red light on top, and towards the centre were several
rows of green, orange-red, and yellow lights. It appeared to be
standing on bright coloured silvery legs. Francisco only saw the
upper half of the figure, which appeared to be wearing a sort of
helmet with a visor. The helmet was dark, the rest of the suit
silvery. The figure appeared to be at least 2m tall. When this figure
approached for the second time, the group fled from the scene in
panic. When investigators visited the site in January they found
prints 42cm long, about 13m apart. </span><br />

into her navel. Speaking without moving their lips, they told her

short figures alongside a boat 15m away. She went inside, got her
dressing gown and returned outside. The figures were still there;
they were 75cm tall and of human form. The front figure had on its
upper half what looked like a light coloured rounded necked
tee-shirt. No hands nor feet were visible and the only movement was
of the arms, which seemed to wave or ripple alongside the body. The
second figure was just seen as a dark shape. After 2-3 minutes the

projectionist and part time worker for a security company, who was
regarded as reliant and observant, was driving from Stafford to
Warrington along the M6. As he was passing close to the Holmes Chapel
junction his attention was caught by a “shooting star”, which
appeared to land in adjacent fields. Then he saw a very large,
stationary light in the NW. Puzzled, he slowed, turned off the slip
road, stopped and got out, leaving his van lights and radio on. A car
raced by but he was unable to attract the driver’s attention. The
light then came towards him at 50m altitude, and the witness stepped
back into his van in panic. He heard the radio filled with static and
turned it off. The van engine was not affected. The large object
passed overhead on a SE course, taking 8 seconds to do so, allowing
him to see the dark metallic looking, apparently bevelled underside,
and what looked like a fin at the rear. From the front were projected
two beams of light, angled up and down at 45 degrees, the lower one
so bright that it cast a shadow on the ground. When the thing was
directly overhead, the witness heard a faint buzzing, but the object
was silent the rest of the time. The object curved away to the SE.
The weather was cold with no cloud and wind. The witness was
extremely shaken when he arrived home. Driving from Northwich 11 days
previously he had seen two bright white lights in the sky, while his
radio transmitter was filled with static. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A woman was out walking
her dog, when the animal came to a sudden halt and looked up. When
the witness did the same she saw a lens shaped object, surrounded by
a glow and with some sort of neon blue mass inside it. There were
three circular marks that she took to be windows. The intense light
did not illuminate the surroundings. The outer glow was green-white.
She felt first a sensation of terror, which changed to awe, and then
she seemed to sense a voice telling her not to be afraid, which
induced a feeling of calm and security, as though hypnotised. This
was then followed by a sensation that the thing or its unseen
occupants were sampling her life experiences, and that she and the
object “were joined at the soul”. She felt sad when she “knew”
that it was leaving, and heard a voice telling her that she had not
been harmed and would be protected. The thing then split in two and
discharged a chain of sparks. Its going left her in tears. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Michael Bradford, licensee
of the “Old English Gentleman” inn at Harston, about 8km from
Cambridge, was putting the dog out, when he noticed a star like
light, which grew in brilliance and descended at 45 degrees behind
trees near Newton, about 4km away he drove towards the scene and just
before Newton observed an orange glow in a stubble field to his left.
He reversed, got out and went through a gap in the hedge. About 150m
away, across the field, were two pulsating orange lights 7.5-9m
apart, about 2m above the ground, brightening and dimming in
opposition. After a few moments Michael began walking towards them,
but had only gone a couple of paces, when a light, the brilliance of
a 150 watt bulb and the size of a tennis ball, jumped from almost
under his feet, reached a height of about 1.8m and then zigzagged
towards the orange lights, disappearing between them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This was
followed over about the next several minutes by about 10 other white
spheres coming from various points in the field and surrounding
hedges and trees, all performing similar manoeuvres before
disappearing between the orange lights. The last ball appeared about
4.5m above the ground and Michael drove to get underneath it but
failed. He then drove home and returned with his wife Gwen. The light
now appeared as a circular orange rim, with vertically divisions, but
not shape could be made out behind the lights, which were now duller
and no longer pulsating. One white sphere then came from the top of a
tree and disappeared as before. The Bradfords then returned home,
leaving the orange lights still there. When they returned to the site
in the daylight the lights had gone. </span><br />

hovering a few metres overhead. An opening appeared in the object,
through which De Souza could see a man and a woman sat motionless.
From this opening came a brilliant light that surrounded the witness
who felt himself being drawn up into the thing. He held on tight to a
small palm tree as he felt this levitating force five times. Some
sort of hot liquid dropped on him, burning his arms. Eventuality the
opening closed and the object moved off. </span><br />

sheltering from the rain. Suddenly he noticed something illuminating
the surface of the water in the dam, and stepped outside to see what
was causing it. he saw an object approaching him from across the Rio
Grande 200m away, and level with the horizon. He first thought it was
some new type of helicopter, but when it got closer, he saw it was an
object 5m wide, 3m high, white and luminous. It appeared to land on
the dam and he walked towards it; but the object went past him and
moved to the earthen part of the dam, 1.5m from the foot. By now it
was only 7m away, and Jesus could see it was of a light grey colour,
with a door 2m high, a little window in the upper part and a sort of
platform running right around it. Then the little window opened and a
human like face appeared. The door then opened and from it came three
beings about 2m tall, dressed in blue metallic overalls, and with
long smooth black hair. They spoke to him in an unknown language. </span><br />

something about getting someone who spoke the language, and went
towards the telephone. But as he did so, one of the beings gestured
at him to stay back, which so alarmed him that he got out his
revolver to fire a warning shot over their heads, but it would not
fire. At that point one of the beings went back into the machine and
collected a black box, like a shoe box, which it handed to one of its
colleagues, the one with the longest hair. Jesus noticed that they
all wore luminous rose coloured gloves. Now he was able to understand
what they were saying, as if they were talking in Portuguese. They
told him to keep calm as they meant no harm. When Jesus asked them
what they wanted, they said they were on a research and mission, and
if he kept calm he would learn all about it. When one of them tried
to extract some stones using a rope and hook, Jesus objected,
whereupon they put away the box and re-entered their craft. When
Jesus was examined he was found to be suffering from nausea and an
extreme sensitivity to light.</span><br />

went dead, followed by his car’s headlights and internal lighting.
He decided to see what was up at the villa before dealing with its
lights. Armed with his torch, he walked towards the house, noting the
total silence of the area. When he reached the gate, he saw the
lights standing silent about 15m away. Looking round he became even
more convinced that burglary was in progress, so he got out his gun
and began sneaking around to surprise the crooks. Ass he looked
around the south corner something pushed him to the ground from
behind, and as he fell, the torch came on by itself. Thinking that
the thieves had got him from behind, he grabbed the torch, his cap
touching something as he did so. As he staggered to his feet, he
pointed his torch up to a figure that seemed to consist of a mass of
horizontal dark grey tubes. Finally at 3m, he picked out a dark green
head about 60cm wide, with two enormous triangular yellow eyes,
inclined upwards at the outer corner, and on the lower part of the
forehead, an ill defined yellow “third eye”, surrounded by
wrinkles. At the side of the head were great pointed spines, in front
of which were large pointed ears or horns. No sooner had FZ picked
out this figure than it vanished. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Terror stricken, FZ dashed back to
the car; as he did so he heard an unbearably loud whistle and felt a
wave of heat. He swung round back in the direction of the villa,
where he saw the profile of the upper part of a large flattened
triangle, the base of which seemed hidden in an immense dazzling
light that forced him to put his arm up to shield his eyes. As he did
so, FZ saw the glow spread beyond the confines of the house and shoot
up into the air. He dived back to the car, noting that the lights and
radio were on again and had time to make a hysterical message before
fainting. When his colleagues arrived on the scene at 0106, FZ was in
a large field 80m from the car, had just come to, and was quite
hysterical and panic stricken. At the spot where he was found, a dark
horseshoe shaped impression 3cm deep, 15cm long, minimum width 2.5cm,
maximum 8cm, was found. A similar mark, 2m diameter was found in a
field to the north west of the vill. There was no trace of a burglary
or disturbance at the house. FZ further described the figure as
having ripples of dark grey flesh, like the “Michelin Men” Under
hypnotic regression he recalled the period as he ran back to the car
and said that he had been under the control of several of the beings,
who came from “the third galaxy”, and being taken to a hot,
bright, round room. </span><br />

Sergeant Tony Dodd and Constable Alan Dale were on night patrol near
Conoley Moor when the road became illuminated by a powerful light.
When they looked up, they saw a large, luminous disc shaped object,
moving slowly north to south. They first thought that it was an
aircraft on fire and about to crash, but then saw that it was at
about 30m altitude, travelling no more than 65kph. On its underside
were three large spheres, and on the upper part was a dome in which
there were darkened portholes. The soundless object was about 30m in
diameter, and had a large number of red, blue, green and white
lights, and seemed to be surrounded by a sort of halo. The object
passed overhead and appeared to land on the moor. </span><br />

on its underside, a large central one, and a smaller one on each
side, It also had a central orange spot. The thing then shot 6 beams
of green light at her, which made her feel “slightly paralysed”,
and sense that she had been given a message that “they” were
friendly and that we should not destroy the earth. The beams then
went out and the object took off. Adele found that her watch had

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Two boys playing near a TV
mast saw a hovering object with multicoloured lights. A door opened
in it and an ugly being with two buttons for eyes and no mouth nor
nose, descended in a light beam and stood floating above the ground.
One of the boys ran away, while a third arrived and saw the scene.
Then a taller entity appeared near the door. The first being carried
something like a pistol, with which it shot at the rocks, breaking
one. It then fell back to the ground and was taken back inside the
object by the light beam, along with an iron tube the boys had been
playing with. The object then took off. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Several people saw a 1.6m
tall being wearing rose coloured overalls standing near a wall. The
figure had no facial features. One fellow, braver than the rest,
thought it was a boy playing a trick, so he walked up to it, but was
so frightened by the being’s absolute stillness that he dared not
touch it. Police were called and searched the cellars for what they
assumed was a hoaxer, but when they finally saw the figure it was
running away at an impossible speed, and they were unable to catch. </span><br />

Capuzzello was listening to the radio as he drove home, when the
radio went off by itself. He stopped to repair it and saw a bright
flash fall from the sky, a few metres from his truck. Two human
shapes, 2m tall, wearing tight fitting overalls and large flattened
helmets approached the truck. When they were 5m away, two bright
beams, like soldering iron lights, came from their helmets, lighting
up the truck cabin. They came within a few centimetres of Angelo and
spoke in a clear low voice, in an incomprehensible language. Thinking
they were asking where the town was, Angelo showed them. They then
went back and disappeared into the darkness. A few seconds later a
domed shaped object took off with a bright flash. The radio was
working again. He detected a strong sulphurous odour. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Mrs Pegg Macdonald was
still in the living room, a few minutes after her husband, Frank
(55), a worker at the freezing plant, had gone to bed, when the room
became illuminated by a brilliant light. She woke her husband and
their son-in-law, John Andrell and his wife Francis, who lived next
door. When he went outside, Frank saw, 30m above the bush ridge
beyond Waikawa Bay, about 1.2km away, a light shaped like an inverted
sheaf of wheat, almost 500m long, and emitting a blue-green light,
dimmer than the moonlight. For some minutes the object was as still
as a photograph, then it shot up into the area and began to billow
out streams of flame. It then descended back to 30m above the ridge
in a couple of seconds. It performed about 20-30 more bounces in the
next few minutes, moving slowly northwards, following the contours of
the ridge. The object then began to drift towards Allports Island,
getting dimmer as it did so. Then four powerful red lights came on
from its underside. Frank was then able to see the object, now at 55m
altitude. It was a hemisphere with a vertical red “V” down the
side, which looked as though it had been crudely painted on. The
thing then shot from the island to Kumutoto Bay, 9.5km away, tilting
as it passed, revealing a dome with a diamond shaped top, from which
came dome projected five cylindrical objects like tunnels, with large
red cowlings at the end. The rest of the object was silver-red. It
appeared to be moving in and out of control manner, the beams
illuminating the area. It moved to a saddle in the mountains and then
moved back over the bay toward the island. Frank could now see right
into it and put his binoculars down with a feeling that he was
intruding. As it reached the island again, the light wrapped around
it and it seemed to be back under control as it moved off over the
Sound. </span><br />

Brown and his brother in law David Barrowcliffe, an immigration
officer with many years’ experience observing aircraft, were
driving along the M3 in the Walton on Thames area when, to their
left, they noticed an aerial object with large red lights on either
end. As it approached their car they saw that it was disc shaped with
more red lights around it. A dull silver ball then dropped from this
object, floated across the motorway and landed in a field on the
other side. The main object was by then in level flight, 60m up, and
Paul drove onto the hard shoulder and switched off the engine to
listen. The main object was making a sound like an electric train
boosting its motor” Four red lights surrounded a grey disc, which
could be clearly seen as the object moved off in the opposite
direction to the witnesses, first slowly and then at up to 300kph,
staying in line with the motorway and showing two small white lights
at the rear. Although there had been a fair amount of traffic, the
motorway was completely clear when the incident occurred. </span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A
man driving along an old dirt road, finally gave up his fight against
sleep and slept in his car beside a walnut grove. He was suddenly
awakened by a bright light, like daylight. Thinking he had overslept
he got out of his car. The light went off and he saw a disc shaped
object 30m away and approaching at 25m altitude. Its neon blue light
changed to a “powdery” orange-white. He heard a hissing sound and
an opening appeared, in which there were three or four entities, with
large heads and eyes but lacking ears or hair. They wore sparkling
clothing. The object seemed to pulsate in unison with his heartbeat.
He then heard another hiss and another opening appeared. At this
point the witness panicked and tried to drive away, but it took many
attempts before his car would start. Afterwards he suffered from sore
eyes, facial rash and sore nose.</span></span><br />

when he suddenly experienced a strong headache and found himself
enveloped in mist. He tried to stop the car, but could not, the car
driving itself, turning and climbing ever faster along the road, the
brakes and steering wheel completely unworkable. The car stopped by a
large bright oval object and he felt he had to get out, as the car
door opened itself. His colleagues found him at 0110 on December
28<sup>th</sup>. Under hypnotic regression he recalled being taken on
board a yellow triangle shaped object, via a green light beam. There,
in a very hot room, he was questioned by and questioned a group of
strange tall green skinned beings, which took his pistol and fired it
against a picture. When he was found, five bullets were missing from
their cartridges and six cartridges were also missing., but it was
clear that they had not been fired from his gun. Fortunato was found
in his car, hot and suffering from sunburn on his face, the car roof
was hot also, although the night was foul and wet. Footprints 50cm
long were found all round the area. </span></span><br />

could still hear the sound of the children. He then came to, still
hearing the children, but the being and paralysis had gone. He had a

shaped object with a pipe shaped stem sticking about 1, up. He could
see the outline of the upper half of a dome through the mist. As soon
as the curtains were opened and the bedroom light shone out the
object took off vertically at high speed. The tube, which appeared to
be made of glass or plastic, flashed a very bright red light three
times. This light was so bright that Pugh could see what looked like
filaments in the tube. The flashes were at about 1 second intervals. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">A
Master Sergeant on security duty at the US air force base at Aviano
was alerted by alarms on the perimeter fence. Going to investigate he
observed a strange light, apparently hovering 10m over a soya field,
200m beyond the fence in the northwest. The electrical power on the
base went out, forcing back-up generators on line. The disturbed
sergeant alerted the base wing command post, which sent out a
security team, and they also saw the strange light. When the sergeant
was relieved at the end of his shift, he climbed on top of nearby
security building to get a better look. The thing now looked more
like a solid object, a circular object, about 25-30m diameter with a
sort of rim and, perhaps, a dome. Though he was 500m from the light,
the witness felt static in the air. As he watched the thing took,
gradually at first then vertically at greater speed, disappearing
towards the mountains in about a minute; and before a joint
US-Italian security team could reach it. As the object accelerated,
its colour darkened from yellow, through orange to red. A buzzing
sound that he had detected earlier also increased in pitch. </span></span></div>

Hall was in his garden with his wife and 17 year old son, Barry, when
he observed a black oval object, a few metres in diameter, rising
from some low trees at the end of the garden. This thing seemed to
creating a vortex in which a mass of web like material was spinning
around. This vortex rose to the height of the 12-15m tall pines.
Barry walked halfway towards the vortex, which had begun to come
towards him. As it passed over his head he was able to see that it
was about 6 sq. m in diameter, and was composed of a black hair like
substance. The material thinned out but nothing was found at the
site. The family and their neighbours noticed a sudden, terrific gust
of wind at the time. </span></span></div>

children at rural children’s home observed an unusual object and
called on Mrs S, who ran the home, to observe it. They saw a yellow
object, which changed shape on a number of occasions from a saucer to
a cigar hovering at the top of the tree line, apparently over a
nearby lake. The sides seemed to be shimmering and beams of light
slanted down from the underside. Mr S, the husband of the above, and
his younger brother arrived back at 2240hrs. and confirmed the
observation, which continued for 20 minutes. Through binoculars the
thing appeared to be an elongated silvery object with humps on its
side. The object moved slowly across to the south east and hovered
over a clearing, where it dulled through orange to red and
disappeared from view, reappearing in its original colour and shape
in a few moments time. It descended behind trees. The witness
contacted investigator Randles who suggested they take a photograph
if the object reappeared. It did return at 0025 but only briefly. As
it disappeared a clearly audible aircraft flew overhead. </span></span></div>

The light seemed to follow Jose for about 200m and then came down

could see that it was a V shaped object 15-20m long, from which an
orange beam was projected towards the ground. Jose shone his torch at
the thing and was almost immediately stunned by a flash of light. He
came to in a strange city full of people about 1.5m tall dressed in
grey clothes He was given some sort of examination and then allowed
to walk around the city. He encountered machines which resembled
Volkswagens and was eventually asked to enter one inside of which he
passed out again. He recovered consciousness in Itaqui more than 110

eyesight and hearing which had been poor were now much improved, such
that he no longer needed glasses. These improvements reversed after a

de Olmos Ordonez (42), a cattle feed distributor, regarded as serious
and hard working, was resting on his balcony taking the evening air,
when he observed a small figure step out from the darkness of the
grounds of the farm opposite his house. This figure went under the
barbed wire fence and walked normally towards the street lamp. Adrian
thought it was a child out playing but then saw that the figure,
which was about 1.05m tall, was dressed in an inflated green suit and
a metallic helmet on top of which was a sort of antenna with an
illuminated tip. From each side of the helmet, which was a lighter
shade of green than the suit, things like pointed ears were sticking
up, and the helmet was joined to the suit by a dark neck band. In its
front was a sort of visor, but the light from the street lamp
reflecting off it preventing him seeing the being’s face.. He
called out to his daughter Irasema de Olmos Padibn (16) to get him a
pencil and paper so that he could sketch the being. As she did so,
she turned on the outside balcony light in mistake for the living
room one. Meanwhile the creature had got within 3m of the street
light and some 10m from Adrian, who saw it was holding a shiny
object, the size of a matchbox, with a sharp point on the end, and
was staring at the lamp, making Adrian think it was drawing power
from it. The moment the balcony light went on, the being ran off in
the direction from whence it had come, bent under the fence, then
halted for a few moments, allowing Adrian to see that it had a sort
of tail and was wearing a belt, and had on its back a small
rectangular box, fasted with two straps. It had only four fingers on
each hand, and feet lie a duck. The being then put its hands into its
thick belt, and two red and two white lights, all rotating, appeared
on the box, lighting it up. Between the two pairs of lights was a
sort of opening and from its underside came two beams of light, like
welding sparks. At the same time Adrian heard a humming sound like an
electric drill. Immediately after that the being rose in to the air,
and moved away to the nearest trees on the farm, art a height of
about 3.5m. At this point Irasema came onto the balcony, to see the
lights on the being’s back, followed by her mother Dominga and her
brother Rafaeil Edgardo. The being moved off at speed, horizontally,
its tail raised in the air. By now a group of neighbours (including
Marvel, Daniela and Josefina Gonzalez; Luis, Carlos and Iris Cortes;
Minerva, Betsaide and Ivi Mena Ludo; and Mercedes Medina de Leon) had
gathered to hear Adrian’s story, and watch the lights leaping from
tree to tree , occasionally descending to ground level. They could
also see a second set of lights performing the same manoeuvres, which
made Adrian think there was a second creature around. The cattle on
the farm were dashing about, and the neighbourhood dogs barking
furiously. The lights eventually vanished before police arrived on
the scene. At least one and possibly two sets of footprints were
found by Rafaeil and a branch on the farm was found broken and
withered. </span></span></div>

Batista Souza of the Nova Melia ranch was out walking on his property
when he saw a luminous sphere flying low about 200m away. Joao hid
behind a mound and saw the sphere land and its light fade. He saw
that it was shaped like a straw hat. An opening appeared on the thing
and a 1m tall dwarf with a hairy body and its head in a helmet with
antennae, emerged. The entity carried a sort of torch emitting a red
beam in its left hand and some other, indefinable, devise in its
right. At this point Joao lost consciousness, where he was later
found by his family. He was so weak that he had to spend several days
in bed. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">A
woman going down a meadow to the field where she kept her horses had
her attention drawn to a dark metallic machine, hovering just above
the ground in the NNW. It was a flattened disc, about 10m diameter,
surmounted by a dome. After a few seconds the silent craft began to
wobble and then shot up into the clear sky and disappeared.
Investigators in 1983 found two holes at the spot and a ring of
lusher growth. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Unemployed
builder Ernest Longstaff (45) was taking his dog for a walk along
Lyne Sands, 800m from his house, while he collected sea coal. As he
walked inland towards the dunes, he looked back to call his dog, at
which he was confronted by an object shaped like two plates stuck
together, with the top one surmounted by a slight dome. The thing had
a central band around which square openings, emitting red smokeless
flames, were rotating from left to right, seeming to pass into the
object rather than rotate around the edge. The lead grey object was
about 7.5m wide 4.5m high and was hovering about 20m above the shore,
100m away. Ernest now became very frightened and the dog was sitting
with its eyes wide and its ears pricked up, though the object
appeared to be silent. As both man and dog stood rooted to the spot,
the object began to approach them at no more than 16kph and descended
until it was very close to the ground 30m away. The sand beneath it
was not disturbed. After remaining stationary for a few moments, the
object retreated to the right and then the shore, keeping its same
face towards them, descending still further, skipping the dunes, as
if to land. At this, Ernest fled the scene in panic. His wife
confirmed that he was extremely agitated when he arrived home. When
he returned to the site, two days later, there were no traces. </span></span></div>

production worker Wang Wanchun (56) saw a hairy humanoid that came
within 4m, on the other side of a ditch, after descending the
mountain. The creature kept saying something like ‘go-ro’ and
then imitated various wildlife sounds. Wang retreated, throwing a
rock at the thing, which moved rapidly away with 1.5m strides. The
creature was about 2.25m tall, 1.15m broad, with a head larger than a
human’s, hair over the shoulders, a brow ridge over sunken eyes,
thick set legs and large thighs. </span></span></div>

woman observed an object consisting of a tube attached to an oval
descending out of low cloud. She went upstairs to tell her husband, a
draughtsman, who had gone to bed early. They observed something that
consisted of three bands of light, and 5 dark marks between the top
and second top band, apparently on an unseen lens shape that was
moving away and descending into a large deep quarry. The light had
swamped the street lamps and illuminated the clouds, but as it went
out of sight, the object just disappeared. The investigator
calculated the thing was 9m in diameter. </span></span></div>

Pulling back the curtains he observed a white domed object at about
6m altitude. It had a green band around the top and sides, and
outside that was a blood red band. Someway below Charles could see a
pinky red halo, which did not appear to be attached to the dome. The
object slowly descended vertically and was lost to sight behind some
old factory building, as if landing on some playing fields 400m away.
The thing appeared brighter than the moon. </span></span></div>

year old Janine was staying with her aunt Monica (26) at her rural
home, when they heard the daschund barking. Thinking it might be
prowlers, they sent their German shepherd out, but it returned
without finding anything. From their upstairs window they watched
11-12 stars, which formed into the shape of the Big Dipper </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">(in addition to the real one) that seemed to be nearby and
surrounded by halos. They then saw a bright light appear on a hill
300m away, followed by a noise from a creek beyond the house. They
then saw what looked like small creatures with flashlights, and a red
light source, which approached the house and retreated at which both
witnesses got severe headaches. One figure on a hill in the distance
seemed to shine a light on a tombstone and make it levitate. Then a
creature was seen directly below the window. When it bent down, the
light on its belt momentarily lit up its face, showing Janine that it
was human. When the door began to rattle they phoned Janine</span></span><span style="font-family: "lucida sans unicode";"><span style="font-size: medium;">痴
</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">mother,

and law officers arrived. The police could find no traces, but when
they left the two witnesses believed they found three footprints 60cm
apart, which were very shallow and showed no tread nor heel mark.
Another deputy came to examine the tracks but was unimpressed. The
two women suffered burning eyes, headaches, dry throats, ringing
ears, sluggishness and a shortened time sense that made them think
the three hour experience only lasted for one. Three nights later on
the 26th at 2300hrs., about 9.5km from this experience, a friend of
the family Donald X heard a noise outside and, on investigating,
encountered a humanoid 1.2m tall, wearing a suit that was light on
top, dark on the bottom. Armed with a flashlight and a pistol Donald
went outside and shone the beam on the creature. This, at the same
time, illuminated an object, hovering above a nearby tree, that
projected a beam on him, knocking him back. He was afraid to venture
out again that night. He experienced headaches, numbness, ringing
ears, cramps, his wife also experiencing the latter. Six or seven
unidentified objects were observed that night along with a number of
humanoids who explored the property, making a chattering sound. They
went up onto the rooftop and loosened a metal roof louver. The beings
had gone by 0500hrs.. The whole complex became difficult to
investigate because some of the adult witnesses got into serious
trouble with the law. </span></span></span></div>

and Madeleine Gairaud, shopkeepers from Maresille, were driving along
N951 from Cruis to Malle Pougasse on their way home from an evening
with their family. Suddenly, at the end of a turning, they saw a
lighted mass on the ground in open fields behind some trees at the
end of a turning in the road. The object was illuminated by a more
intense internal light and by it were standing two humanoid figures.
Auguste wished to slow down, but his wife insisted they drove away.
The object was about 7-8m long, emitting an extremely intense
blue-white light, like an electric welding arch, that made their eyes
water. It was about 45m away and resembled a bowl or inverted
umbrella, the upper part of which was darker, and just under the
level of the 2-2.5m tall trees. There were no portholes. On either
side of the object were beings about 1.65m tall, silhouetted against
the light. The couple were unable to make out any features, but the
figures appeared to be dressed in overalls and helmets. The couple
thought they were seeing a military exercise or something connected
with the St Michel observatory, but were informed that the
observatory had no facilities in that place. When their fear outran
their curiosity they drove on. </span></span></div>

Beckett (19) was eating in their car, with his wife Mimi at the San
Francisco Marina, relaxing after his late shift. Looking up he saw a
light coming down over the Angels Island area, at about 360kph. It
looked as if would hit the water but stopped just above it, then
proceeded to bounce along at 25-30kph, about 3km away making no
sound, and seeming to blend into the background. He now saw that it
was conical with yellow white lights along the bottom, moving left to
right, and about a third the way up had two red lights. The object
itself seemed to be of grey-black colour and it was at altitude of
about 6-10m. The object moved round the bay, then took off, as it did
so, the upper part opened up and ejected a luminous sphere, which
rested on the top of the object. This sphere had a ring of
yellow-white lights around its centre, and about a third the size of
the upper paet of the cone. It continued on its journey around the
bay, stopping for a short time under the bridge. When the object
reached the San Francisco side, Mimi (who lacked her glasses and
couldn’t see the thing properly) became frightened and pursued
Bryant, who was still curious, to drive away. </span></span></div>

descending at about 120kph. As it came closer he realised that it was
something else. As it approached the ground the nose lowered and it
settled between a clump of trees and a power pylon, about 400m from
the road. Another car arrived on the scene, and its driver could also
confirm that he saw the object. After 3 minutes it raised its tail,
shot backwards and upwards, vertically out of sight within 3 seconds.
This object was about 60m long, 10m thick and 20-30m wide. It had a
sort of rounded nose made of a sort of scalloped surface, with a
swept back main body and concave underside. It was light salmon pink
in colour and appeared to be made of satin rather than metal. There
were no unusual noises and no landing gear was seen. </span></span><br />

Birmingham Airport when a sort of huge pink mass reminding her of
candyfloss rose from trees to the left and crossed the road,
climbing. It was an oval mass the size of a house. They tried to
drive after it but the car refused to accelerate until the thing had
gone. The observation lasted about 2 minutes. </span></span><br />

miner returning home across some fields after his shift heard a loud
droning in the air and stopped. Glancing across the field towards
some trees, he observed a bright light moving behind them. As the
light rose above the trees, he saw it was a huge domed disc, which
moved slowly at treetop height towards him. The thing was surrounded
by coloured lights and as it went directly over him, it beamed down a
brilliant light on him. The frightened witness was now lying on the
ground. As soon as the light hit him he was stunned by a sort of
electric shock. When he recovered his senses the object was slowly
disappearing from view. It was about 25m in diameter. When the
witness got back to the mine building he realised that 45 minutes had
passed, which he could not account for. </span></span><br />

drizzly overcast day, when, entering her bedroom, she saw a 1.im tall
figure dressed in a sort of long cloak. Fearing a burglar she ran
down the stairs, but no one followed her, so after 25 minutes she
went to look again the figure had disappeared. This figure was seen
a number of other times over the following weeks, on one occasion
seen by her 15 year old son lying on his brother’s bed. One night
the same 15 year old woke to see the figure at the foot of hid bed.
It glided towards him, its eyes lighting up as it emitted a
overpowering stench that made the boy sick. The same boy also saw
the figure in his bedroom wardrobe. Footsteps and other anomalous
phenomena were also reported. </span></span><br />

thing was cigar shaped with lights on its top, bottom and centre, the
latter of which gave the impression of being portholes. It moved to

which it projected beams of bright blue light, which seemed to
separate out into segments. When they reached the chain fence, they
rose over it. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The

Stevens (24) a musician and postman, with a BA in Russian, was
driving back to Chelmsford from a recording session in Cambridge in
his hired Vauxhall-Chevette-E. He had just passed through Thaxted and
was turning a right hand bend over the brow of a hill, when his
attention was caught by a red orange glow, seen through an opening in
the bushes on the right hand side of the road. At first Mike thought
it was a building, but about100m further on, through another gap, he
saw there were two unusual glows and pulled over to the left to study
them. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">He
observed two orange-red objects stationary 15m above the ground,
about 300-400m away. They were hovering above and beyond a small
clump of trees in an open field. The one on the left was just a
diffuse oval glow; the one on the right, which was closer, consisted
of a circular centre of concentrated light, with a diffuse glow on
either side; the lefty resembling a Christmas cracker, the right
tapering to a point, these sections did not appear to be attached to
the core. They seemed to be casting a great deal of light skywards
but not towards the ground. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">After
watching them for some time he saw the left hand light suddenly
increase in brightness and then dim down. Then the right hand one
moved up deepened in colour and then moved down. The right hand light
then began to move towards him slowly in an upwards arc. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Somewhat
alarmed, Mike drove off. As he came down the hill in fourth gear, he
noticed that though his foot was right down on the accelerator, he
was still doing only 55kph, though the engine appeared to be running
normally. After about 400m, Mike suddenly accelerated up to 80kph.
The observation had lasted for 90 seconds. Mike reported the matter
to the police, who searched but found nothing. Some magnetic
anomalies were found on the car. </span><br />

Dawson (63, a retired car dealer and resident in a caravan park with
his wife and 7 year old daughter, was walking to his neighbour’s
accompanied by his two dogs, on route to a fishing trip. He had just
entered a field and was about to close the gate, when a strange
circular object descended in front of him, hovering 60cm above the
ground. It was 12-15m diameter, 3.5-4m high, appeared to be various
colours all blended together, and it had a cabin like protuberance on
top. Tom was unable to move, and the dogs and cattle in the field
appeared likewise to be frozen. A hatch opened and five strange
humanoid beings, 1.5m tall, got out, two women and three men. One man
and one woman were both entirely nude, they were completely hairless
and had floury white skin. The woman's breasts were almost up to the
armpits, and her vagina was situated where a human navel would be.
The male’s sex organs were underdeveloped. The other three were
dressed in extremely beautiful clothes, with silky shoes that had
turned up ends. One man, who appeared to be the leader, got out
first, tested the ground, then motioned for the other to join him and
the other two men got out to guard the craft. All had sharp, turned
up noses, and pointed ears that seemed to come straight from the
shoulders. They cautiously approached Tom, put a sort of skull cap on
his head, attached to which were several cords which led to a sort of
hoop on which was a set of dials. His clothing was removed and a
medical exam was started, but was interrupted by a voice from the
craft calling out “ I am Jimmy Hoffa” repeated three times, a
fourth time cut short, The beings them removed the skull cap,
retreated about 3m and began to confer amongst themselves in high
pitched voices, Tom thinking he heard the word “Jupiter”. They
then returned to the craft, closed the hatch and it took off. Tom saw
it for a moment at 25m then it was gone, and both he and the animals
were released from the paralysis. He dressed and ran to the
neighbour, who confirmed his extreme agitation. He was taken to
hospital for hysteria, apparently caused by fear. There were no
traces of drugs or alcohol in his body.</span></span><br />

stopped and the changing tone of the throbbing sound was suggestive
of an object moving away and circling in an arc. A couple of weeks
later he went to bed early, with children still playing outside and
had a dream in which he still heard the children but heard the whine,
and then “metallic” footsteps approach, and a humanoid with
blonde hair, about 1.6m tall, wearing a sort of brown cloak entered
and put something in the man’s ear. He woke up in panic, still
hearing the children. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">While
on patrol near Stonebridge Avenue. P. C. David Swift (27) observed a
peculiar bank of fog on some playing fields and, thinking it might be
smoke, went to investigate. As he walked towards the fog, he observed
in it three dancing figures, which he first thought were drunks. He
then saw that one figure was a man in a sleeveless jerkin and tight
fitting trousers, and the other two were women dressed in bonnets,
shawls and white coloured dresses. They each had an arm raised in the
air as though dancing around an invisible maypole. Swift walked to
within 15m of the figures. at which they vanished. He was very shaken
and ran back to his car and drove up and down for a while, as he
recovered his composure. </span></span><br />

teenage boys were walking back from a disco in Culcheth down a dark
country lane when they observed a cigar shaped object, with flashing
lights along its length, flying low over a nearby wood. Shortly
afterwards they saw a cigar shaped light in the sky, which slanted
down rapidly, apparently landing in a field behind some trees. The
boys, now frightened, called the police, who took them in a police
car to view the scene, but nothing was found, either then or in a
more thorough police search the next day. They confirmed that one of
the boys was shaking with fright when they arrived on the scene. Both
boys were reluctant to discuss the matter with investigators. </span></span><br />

Maloney was awoken by the yelping of her dog and a high pitched
screaming sound, went down and out into the backyard to investigate.
There she found herself within 2m of a creature sat on its haunches,
squeezing her dog to its chest. After some moments, the creature
dropped the dog and backed away, keeping its eyes on the witness. It
was about 1.8m tall, covered in brown or ginger hair and had a small
head and no neck, wide chest, powerful legs and long slender arms and
seemed to emit a powerful offensive smell. The thing backed away to
the trellis, where it stood making deep grunting noises for time
before running off to the right. The dog was badly scratched and
bruised. The woman’s daughter found footprints, one of which
survived the rain and was inspected. It was 22cm long, 11cm wide. A
neighbour had heard the dog’s cries and loud grunts coming from this
woman’s yard. </span></span><br />

Parkes (19) was motorcycling home, with a friend, Stephen Metcalf,
riding pillion and they were about 75m from Townley Park Hall when
they saw an orange-yellow saucer shaped object in the air between the
hall and some trees, as if to land. There were a number of cars in
the general area and the two watched for some time after the thing
had descended behind the hall but there were no developments. They
then suddenly felt that they had to leave the area rapidly. On
returning home David told his father and they returned to the spot by
car, but nothing could be seen. The object had emitted a humming
sound and its brightness was compared to that of the moon behind
cloud. </span></span><br />

It was enveloped by a small fluorescent cloud and then both cloud and

bound for the continent, with John Dwyer, the 16 year old son of his
employer acting as mate, when 3km out of Carmarthen on the A48
heading for Crosshands, they slowed down to take Nanty-caws Hill.
Coming down a dip at the bottom of the road and sloping up again, the
truck lights picked out two huge figures about 2.1m tall and very
broad, dressed in one piece suits made of a material that resembled
celluloid. Their heads were elongated as if wearing tall helmets and
appeared to be 30cm wide and 45cm high. They reflected the light from
the headlights. They were standing together, slightly turned towards
each other, seemingly holding some sort of instrument between them,
which the witnesses were unable to make out. They appeared to be
holding radios and from the left hand side of their chests emerged
antennae that reached up to the tops of their helmets, and Dwyer
glanced a smaller aerial coming out of one of the creature’s heads.
These figures stood still as the truck slowly went up the hill past
them. As it did so the witnesses felt a sort of cold tingle. The
witnesses were unable to see either of the figures’ legs and their
faces seemed blank. The two truckers did not refer to the incident
during the rest of their journey and Dwyer seemed especially upset. </span></span><br />

to within 12m, flooding the car with a light that seemed to penetrate
their heads. It appeared to be a circular object, about 15m diameter,
with three or four windows and two beams of light. Cathy saw in one
of the windows something resembling a frog’s head. Their sense of
time, direction and distance all became confused. Mrs Cray, Cathie

imposed on an out of tune radio station. Moving again, they saw a
figure in silvery metallic overalls, reflecting the moonlight,
standing in the short undergrowth between some trees. It stood still
at first, then made two sudden steps towards the students, who fled
to the village of Castelluzzo, where they met up with another
student, Antonio Pascucci (26), teacher Amalio Capobianco and a
turner. Arturo D’Ambrosio, who drove the whole group back to the
site in his car. Once again they encountered the same strange being
and sound, ran back to the car, plucked up courage to go out again,
only to retreat once more when the entity moved towards them. They
then returned to the village to get a torch, where they met 38 year
old singer Mario Sisto and 47 year old photographer Michele Riofoli.
All seven returned to the site, got out of the car (the engine of
which they took care to keep running) and watched the entity. A. C.,
who was 25m away, directed his torch on the moving entity, which
stopped and appeared bewildered by the unexpected light. It then
turned towards the torch, flashing two red-orange lights, which were
located on its head at about the level where a human’s eye would
be. The men then panicked and decided to drive and tell the
Carabinieri, but then thought if the authorities investigated but
found nothing they would get into trouble, so they turned back to the
quarry. As they rounded a bend approaching the site, A. p.drew the
others’ attention to an intense luminosity ahead of them, which, as
they neared the site, they saw was from a source hanging on or near
the top of the hill, at about the height of the top of the old
quarry, illuminating the area. This light was coming from a
cylindrical object that was divided into sections by vertical bands
of alternate dark and light, and was surmounted by a bright dome.
They observed this for only a short time. At 0200hrs.they were back
at their observation posts, where they observed the entity with its
flashing eyes for 75 minutes. At one point it made ambiguous gestures
that were followed by an intense beam that illuminated the witnesses
and surroundings, again causing them momentary panic. Recovering
their composure, they took a closer look at the entity, which they
now realised must be almost 2.5m tall, body in proportion to its
height and no neck. Other features not previously noted were a black
box on the entity’s right arm and a kind of metallic belt. Though
its legs were hidden by the undergrowth, they were sure that it moved
without bending its knees, and it never turned its back on them. At
0315hrs. they went back to the village for further witnesses, but
found none, and when they returned to the quarry, they found that the
luminous object and entity were gone. The story got out and the
carabinieri became involved, advising the witnesses to keep quiet.
Independent investigations showed three traces in the flat space in
front of the cliff in the form of an isosceles triangle. These traces
indicated a pressure of 40 tons had been applied, and minute traces
of a sliver coloured substance were found. </span></span><br />

Something like a cycle light then approached them coming from the
opposite direction. When they arrived home they noted about 25-30
minutes of missing time. A few days later the couple were returning
down the same road, when they saw two figures lying down and a third
standing by them. Fearing an accident, they slowed down. The standing
figure then put a foot out, its leg stretching out to the centre of
the road. The leg was not only unnaturally long, it was very thin. Eighteen</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"> years later the elder boy, now an adult, recalled that the car

Vasquez was among 1,300 men on an evening parade to receive orders
for a training course, when attention was caught by a light moving
back and forth across the sky. They then noticed an intense light
behind the tree line, which John thought was from the headlight of a
truck. Then John was among a number of personnel who fell asleep.
When they recovered the place was in a panic. As a Sergeant Santini
came out of one of the buildings, a brilliant luminous sphere came
from the second story, and, as Santini went into a second building,
hit him. This added to the panic and confusion. Sometime later an
even more brilliant light approached and John heard a voice in his
head and saw something like a possum on the ground. John then heard a
voice saying that it was ok to come out. As John headed for a grassy
knoll he saw a small shadowy figure run into the light. As he reached
out for a friend he fell unconscious again. John then felt himself
being lifted by one person on each side. He experienced a female
voice asking if he remembered; was given a physical examination in a
room in which there was a strange insignia on the wall. Looking round
he saw rows of men in beds. The voice told him to go to sleep again.
A male voice told him to stare into its eyes, and he had visions of
himself by the shore, alone, and of the whole earth being destroyed.
He saw the face again and then found himself back in the line on
parade, in a disorientated state. His and others clothes seemed to
have been put back on in an unusual fashion. </span></span><br />

looking northwards, he heard a whoosh like a carnival rocket and saw
a brilliant blue cigar shape, which approached, making a sound louder
than a jet, and landed right beside him. It now turned into a dwarf
about 1m tall, who stepped in front of Luis and told him to “have
courage” in “a husky, deliberate voice”. The little man had a
sort of stethoscope around his neck and began examining Luis all
over, like a doctor, The dwarf then announced he was an
extraterrestrial, stepped back 60cm, stood for about 5 minutes
looking round, then said “how nice Puerto Rico looks”. It then
stepped back another 60cm, turned into a blue flame, then shot off
into the air. The being had long pointed ears with a round, ugly,
muddy coloured face, with an ape like nose and small mouth with big
lips. It wore a sort of jacket and small tie. The being had passed
between the branches of an avocado pear tree when it took off and one
branch of this was found to be withered as if subjected to a great
heat. </span></span><br />

accompanied by the other things. Nikolaev then came to but required

Torres was driving from Sanlucar towards Huelva when on the outskirts
of a village on the route he was flagged down by a good looking
blonde woman aged about 40. He opened the door and let her in and
then continued on the journey. Then the passenger asked if she could
go in the back seat as she had an injury to her spinal column. Angel
then stopped and the woman got out and went into the back seat behind
him. When they started down the slope of Las Doblas hill, a long
steep slope into a village, and a notorious accident spot. The
passenger here urged him to be very careful. When they reached the
bottom he commented to the passenger that they had gone down without
problems. When she didn’t reply, Angel turned round and saw that
the seat was empty though the door was still shut. He continued on to
the village of Manzanilla where he reported the matter to the Civil
Guard. The guard showed him a photograph of the woman and told him
his was the 14<sup>th</sup> time that this woman had stopped
travellers on this section of the road and warned od the dangers of
the hill and then mysteriously disappeared. The photograph was of a
woman who had been killed at that spot seven years previously. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bus
driver Antonio Bogaga La Rubia (33) was crossing a field on the way
to work when he was stopped in his tracks by a huge object that
extended beyond the boundaries of the 70m field. It was a dull leaden
coloured, hat shaped contraption apparently resting on the ground. As
he tried to run away, Antonio was stopped by an intense light that
lit up the whole area, and he noticed three “robots” near him.
They were about 1.4m tall (he was 1.68m), but antennae, jutting out
from the tops of their heads, reached above his height. Their heads
were shaped like American footballs, with a horizontal band of what
looked like blue mirrors across the middle, one a little darker than
the others. They had broad stocky bodies, arms that resembled
elephants’ trunks narrowing down to pointed tips like a single
finger. Their bodies were made of a rough scaly substance, and their
trunks were rounded at the bottom, ending in a single leg terminating
in a pad the size and shape of a saucer. One stood in front, one at
the side, the third behind it. When the blue light had moved on,
Antonio could no longer move but found himself trapped in a kind of
jar. One of the robots pointed a sort of syringe at him and he found
himself being floated along towards the object, but was unable to say
how he entered it, only that he felt a tremor and found himself in an
aluminium corridor, beyond which was a wall. Two of the robots went
one way, one another. Looking down the corridor Antonio could see the
field, as though the surface of the craft was transparent. He felt it
take off and got the impression it was moving northwards. Then a
bright blue light came on and he found himself in a large circular
room, lit from the ceiling, in which there were 24 unipeds, 12 on
each side, “like children in a classroom”. Antonio was now able
to shout out and when he did so all of the creatures fell to the
floor. The light now became blinding bright. Antonio found it
difficult to breath once inside the craft and though he heard the
entities breathing he could not hear the sound of his own breath. The
entities now raised their appendages to their antennae, which stopped
spinning and were seen to be the shape of tea spoons. In front of
Antonio was a box shaped artefact about 15-17 cm wide, standing on
two supporting poles, with two antennae and what looked like keys,
which made it resemble a piano. On top was a sort of tin can in which
the entities placed apparatuses like syringes that had hung from
their belts like hooks. Each time they placed one in the can a
picture appeared. These were Antonio, naked, being given a medical by
the entities; standing naked; standing clothed; horse, cart and
peasant; A standing by a light orange ball; blue ball with one of the
beings near it; big dog snarling at one of the beings, which melted
away when the dog barked; factory in which the beings were building
their craft; an old train entering a tunnel; a busy road with cars.
During this performance, one of the beings took a blood sample from
A’s little finger, using a syringe, and drew a picture on the wall.
After the street scene had been shown, A was thrown out of the object
onto a street opposite the Paciencio station. All his belongings were
with him. His watch still showed 0220. Looking beside him, A saw
nothing but looking up, saw what looked like the bottom of a large
dark balloon ascending into the darkness. He went to a police station
where he found it was 0250. He caught a bus at 0310 and went to work.
However he began to suffer from a high </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">fever, diarrhoea and delirium,
which led to his hospitalisation. </span></span></span><br />

larger object had an apparent diameter of 30cm and emitted a bright
but not dazzling white light. The smaller object was yellow-orange
and both rather resembled lamp shades. When the family started the
car again the objects kept pace with them, pacing them for about 10km
at distances from 3-10m. When the couple reached their home in
Wolsztyn, the spheres climbed up and moved away at speed. </span></span><br />

She walked to within 2m of the thing, at which it seemed to be coming
closer, so she went back in to tell Peter, watching it go up the barn
steps and into the barn as she did so. They observed the thing for
about 2 minutes and then Peter, who had been decorating, went to get
his spectacles. While he did so, Caroline went to a couple in the
telephone kiosk opposite, Bill and Sally Beard, who alerted Sally’s
mother, Mrs Gibbons, the officer in charge of a home for unmarried
mothers, who lived up the road. By now the object was flashing red,
green and silver as it hovered over a tree, about 1.5km away, and a
second object was visible in the North West sky. The second of these
objects were visible until 2330hrs. The lights were seen again the
next day. Peter and Caroline both suffered from vomiting, headaches

Ethel May Field (62) had gone out to take in washing, while her
husband Maurice (68) and daughter Teresa (24) were watching TV. She
heard a humming sound that prompted her to look up into the clear
sky. Approaching from the SSW was a round object surmounted by a
dome, The object was glowing with a grey colour, while a brilliant
blue-yellow beam was projected downwards from the perimeter of the
disc, in an umbrella effect that did not reach the ground. She though
she saw a patterned effect on the underside and something in the
dome, but could not be certain of its speed. She was, however, able
to make out two occupants through two windows in the dome, one at
each window, As the object reached a point above the far end of the
garden, it hovered for a moment and Ethel held her hands upwards,
palms outwards, to shield her eyes. She felt a slight sensation of
heat on her hands and a vibration on the ground. The two figures in
the dome were of normal proportions, wearing silvery suits, with
similar coloured headgear, connected by a collar, which covered all
but the face and which came to a point. Ethel felt the figures were
male and slender, the arms were normal and the hands appeared to be
covered by the same sort of material as the suits. The cabin was lit
by normal lighting. The figure on the right hand side appeared to be
operating controls that were out of sight. The other figure looked
directly at her and made a down pointing gesture with his right hand,
which alarmed Ethel, who ran into the house, observing the object
speeding away to the north west as she did so. There had been no
interference on the television. The following week Ethel developed a
spot on her left palm that turned into dermatitis in both hands. The
object was about 6.5m diameter and at about 20m altitude. During the
observation the background noises vanished. </span></span><br />

entered a region where her skin prickled and her hair stood on end as
if there was high static and she heard a low humming sound. After a
few moments Patricia walked out of the sharply defined static field
and returned to her van, driving off, leaving the object still there.
Very shortly afterwards she saw an object move rapidly across the
sky. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Two
10 year old boys, Michael and Steven were leaving a field and chip
shop in High Street, when they noticed a brilliant glow coming from
around the bend of Nursery Road and they went to investigate.
Rounding the corner, they encountered, hovering no more than 2m above
the road, less than 30m in front of the, an object with a solid oval
base, surmounted by a small round, transparent dome, the whole object
giving off a very bright glow, which illuminated the surroundings
“like a gigantic white light bulb”. Inside the dome was a small
dark stump, about 30cm tall, which rather resembled a head. This did
not move during the 45 seconds of the observation. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The
object appeared to be jerking up and down and emitting rasping,
humming sound. After a few seconds the thing started to hop towards
the boys in this fashion and the lads fled the scene in panic. The
object was virtually touching the stone walls on either end of the
street and was about the same height, giving a diameter of 4.8m and a
height of 1.8m. One of the boys’ mother confirmed that the boys
were white with fright when they arrived home. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Pinkerton
Security Guard Ms Holly M Prunchak (18) was working alone at the main
entrance of the French-Hecht plant, in the guard room with the lights
dimmed; listening to an FM radio station on an AC powered radio.
Suddenly she noticed a pair of brilliant white flashing lights, just
over some houses on the other side of town. They rose, hovered and
then began moving towards her and as they did so her radio went dead
and when she tried to call the main plant on her battery operated
walkie-talkie she found that was dead. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">As
the lights approached they passed between Holly and a grain elevator
that was surmounted by a red flashing warning light, obscuring both
the elevator and the lights. Between the bright flashes, Holly could
make out that these lights were on a dark oval object, which at 100m
distance appeared at the size of two quarters held at arm’s length. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">When
these lights passed close to a mercury vapour lamp across the street,
the lamp went out for 60-90 seconds. The bellowing of cattle in a
field across the street and the chirping of crickets also ceased
while the thing was in view. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The
object descended into or behind a group of trees to the left of the
farmhouse across the street, settling at 5 degrees elevation. After a
brief time the flashing lights went out, at which the ambient sounds
resumed and the radio came back on again. Holly now called over the
intercom for help. When other guards refused to believe her or
investigate, she went and reported the matter to the police and quit
her job. Ralph Wood, the owner of the property on which the object
apparently landed, did not see anything, neither did his tenant, Mr
Schwarz, but he did recall that his TV went off for two minutes at
2030hrs. though the light attached to the same supply was not
affected. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">A
supermarket manager was awakened by a very loud sound like a high
pitched whine from an electric drill, which struck him as being
oppressive. He went to his window but could not see anything in the
pitched darkness. Thinking it might be his fridge acting up, he went
downstairs, the sound decreasing as he did so and increasing slightly
as he went into the kitchen, which was on the same side of the house
as his bedroom. He checked the fridge and other equipment, but could
find nothing wrong. Returning to his room, where the whine was louder
again, he looked through the window once more, to see a large circle
of light (apparent diameter 15mm at arms length0, with a dark
outline, shining through the branches of the trees. He suddenly
feared that this was a nuclear explosion and went and hid under the
bedclothes. Neither his wife nor his pet dog and cat, the birds he
was breeding in an open air aviary in the garden, nor a neighbour’s
dog were disturbed at all during the incident.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Kevin
Preston (20), a gardener, was out in his own garden with his dog and
tape recorder, when he observed a blue-grey dish shaped object, with
a dome on top, blue and red flashing lights, a sort of hole in its
underside and a short tail protruding from its rear, descend and
hover 15-30m away. The thing emitted a bumping sound that caused his
dog to howl, and which Kevin was able to tape record for a few
seconds. The object was about the size of a light aircraft. It may
have been the same object that three teenage girls, going to a disco,
observed for 5 minutes as it flew low by the side of their car for 5
minutes at 1920. About 20 people said they had seen something unusual
that night. </span></span><br />

A, her sister Mrs L and another pair of sisters Miss p.and Miss TH
were driving down Mobley Road at about 50kph when Mrs A had her
attention drawn to the sky, and drew the others’ attention to an
object and then stopped the car. The object was a silvery, metallic,
domed, saucer shaped thing, with red and blue flashing lights, three
legs on the underside and a projection on top and descended into some
trees on a hill about 150m away. Feeling unnerved they decided to
leave but had only gone about 6m, when Mrs L drew their attention to
a brilliant light illuminating the treetops. Their radio had stopped
about 50 minutes before this encounter. Mrs AS felt nauseous during
the experience, Mrs L suffered for constant headaches for two days
afterwards and PH developed a rash a couple of months later. The trip
which normally took 25 minutes had taken an hour. All four reported
mysterious phone calls, PH a bedroom visitant, and another UFO
experience along with Mrs L.</span></span><br />

J. F. and her daughter Lori (18) were driving north on Patterson
Road, to go shopping in Midland, along a very rural part of the road.
As they neared Pine River Bend a strange being leapt over the low
fence from a Soya bean field to the right, leaping 1.2m into the air
and landing on the road 60m ahead, causing the women to brake. The
being then made a second leap across the remainder of the road and a
deep gully, into the underbrush on the left of the road, jumping to a
height of 1.2-1.5m and a distance of about 10m without flexing its
knees or bending its legs. It was 1.65m tall, slender build, dull
smooth black from head to toe, as if covered in black fur or a black
wet suit. Its torso, head and neck were of normal human proportions
but no arms were visible. The being was only observed for two
seconds. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Kurt
Nilsson (35), the owner of a short wave radio transmitter had driven
up to the radio and TV transmitter on Hemilden mountain to see if he
could improve his reception. 400m from the top his radio developed
interference, which caused him to close down by the time he reached
the top. His attention was then caught by a pale blue object,
outlined against a hillock, in a hollow. It was a domed machine about
2m in diameter, in front of which three figures about 1m tall in
greyish spacesuits, about 100m from him, clearly outlined in the
light from the machine. Surprised, Kurt turned on his headlights, at
which the machine and figures became invisible. After about one
minute the scene reappeared. Kurt, now very frightened, began to
drive away, but after he had only gone 50m his car stopped, and he
saw the same or similar three figures in the middle of the road, as
if crossing it. They wore suits of a plastic like material with
short, white, tight fitting boots, and visors in their helmets. The
figure in the centre had a spade shaped thing in its hands, which it
then completely turned around by crossing its arms, and at the same
time the car’s engine and lights died. It was now pitch black. Kurt
now turned off the light switch and attempted to start up the engine,
which, much to his relief, fired on the headlights. The figures were
nowhere to be seen, He drove home, where he found his watch was 20
minutes slow by the time on the house clock. His dog did not greet
him in the usual way when he got home and was very uneasy when they
went back to Hemilden. Two days later, a friend, Kjell Naslund
experienced interference on his TV in the evening. Site
investigations showed that a birch tree had its bark removed from a
position 2.8m above the ground short, rather wide, footprints were
found at the site. They had a heel 4 x 4 cm on which there was a
cross design. Investigators calculated that the actual diameter of
the object was 5-5.5m </span></span><br />

shrieked again and melted into the lights. The object then took off

14 year old pupils at the Alm school, Johnny Myhr from Holmestrand

where they were boarders, when they observed an object descend from
the north and land in a freshly ploughed field, close by the sports
ground, 100m from the school. It landed on three supporting legs, was
light green in colour, with domes top and bottom. In the upper dome
there were two windows, while there was a row of portholes along the
central rim. Behind either one of the windows in the upper dome, or
one of the portholes, they observed a humanoid figure, apparently
watching them, but could not make out any details. They fled back to
the school, and as they did so, the object took off after about 10
seconds. 10 minutes later at the school, Agvald Elling Ingaldsen (14)
alerted one of the adult workers who went outside to see a bright,
shining, circular object flying slowly and soundlessly above the
trees, disappearing over the hill in 20-30 seconds. The next day
three prints in an equilateral triangle, sides 6.6m, with clear
prints 10-15 cm deep were found at the site. The soil in these prints
was significantly more acidic than outside. The prints were 36 cm
long, 14.5m wide at the widest and 7.5m wide at the narrowest. </span></span><br />

elliptical object with red and green lights on its underside, and
three bright white lights. When they stopped and got out of the car,
they heard a pulsating hum and felt a cold rush of wind. They stood
watching it for 5-19 minutes, after which it began to move slowly
away. They continued on their journey, the thing pacing them at
speeds between 30-130kph. They got out again and saw that the thing
was higher in the sky but they still felt the breeze and heard the
hum.. By the time they reached Bristol it had crossed over the road
and disappeared to their right, but it reappeared on the outskirts of
Monmouth. Stopping again they saw it moved about as if “writing”
or “dancing”. By the time they reached Arthur’s Stone the thing
had gone. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Mrs
Pauline Coombes, her three daughters and her Mother Mrs Grycz were
returning to Ripperston via Broadmoor along the coast road when they
observed a small silvery disk descend rapidly into Stack Rocks, a
prominent mark in St Bride’s Bay. The party went to investigate and
saw two humanoid figures on the rocks, which seemed to have an open
door. Mrs Grycz now became very frightened and insisted they return
to the farm. Here they found Mrs Rose Granville at the hotel had
independently observed silvery beings on the rocks. Mrs Grycz
returned to the cliff with the twins and her two sons. There were two
beings visible, one of which seemed to climbing up steps out of the
rocks, the other figure was walking near the water, stooping as if to
pick something up. The figures had elongated heads and wore silvery
luminous suits. The door in the rocks seemed to be opening to and
fro. The figures moved seawards then the doors and figures vanished.. </span></span><br />

D F Hale (32), a shift worker was motorcycling home along the
Hertford-Brickenden road, when his attention was caught by a strange
rectangular structure resting in the middle of a ploughed field,
where he had never seen such a structure before. There was no noise
or lights but he was able to make out two rows of dark areas on the
side of the off-white structure. Hale slowed down but did not stop.
Rumours that cattle in the area had gone missing could not be

came out of the socket, swept through the kitchen and bedroom and

led him back to the house, where they sat on the sofa, opened a
closet with a gesture, and the woman lay on the bed. They
communicated to the lad by telepathy. The beings then exited the
house again. The male figure was over 2m tall, thin, and wore a
helmet with a visor and two antennae. The woman and boy seemed to be
normal humans with light skin and dark hair. All wore tight fitting
overalls, gloves and boots. In the back yard the boy saw a large
ladder, down which he was taken to an object the size of a house
lying in a depression. It had a transparent section, though which an
illuminated interior could be seen. In it were other beings operating
various instruments. He was then led up the ladder to the ground near
his house. A neighbour turned up to hand back a borrowed item, at
this the three beings vanished, along with a fourth hidden by the
side of the house. The little </span><span style="font-family: "lucida sans unicode";">'S</span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">aturn' stayed

They then filed away. The small object took off. The boy returned to
the house. When he went to open the front door, the key flew into his
hand. He was so shaken that he could not speak for two days
afterwards. The beings had warned of trouble in his family and two of
his brothers were both to have significant accidents. </span></span></span><br />

over what to do, an opening appeared in the thing from which floated
down a being wearing a diver’s suit. The being extended its arm and
fired a beam at Luis, who promptly fled. The creature floated back
into the object, which pursued Luis as he ran towards his companions.
All the party saw this object and hid in the fields, as the thing
approached their boat and the being emerged, looked around, and then
returned to its craft, which left over the treetops. </span></span><br />

near Uzes after taking their daughter to her lycee in Nimes. They
were driving part of the journey down a quiet country road and were
within 300m of rejoining the main road when their attention was
caught by a luminous object they assumed was a military vehicle. They
stopped within 20m of the dark grey top shaped thing that was
hovering motionless 3-4m above the ground. It was about 3-4m diameter
and 3m high and it had two round lights that resembled portholes and
beams came down its sides. On its base was a bright flashing violet
light. Pierre got out for a better look and saw that two other
motorists had stopped. The object then slowly took off rising several
tens of metres, emitting something like fog or smoke from its
underside as it did. It headed off towards Uzes, gradually increasing
in speed. A woman in one of the other cars fainted so Mrs Guiraud
went to her aid, after which all the witnesses resumed their
journeys. The Guiraud family continued their journey while keeping an
eye on the object, which veered off in the direction of Avignon when
they reached Uzes, eventually going off behind a hill. Press appeals
for the other witnesess to come forward were fruitless, though other
people reported strange things seen in the sky around this time. </span></span><br />

Mary tried to persuade him that they should get closer to it, but a
sort of force stopped them and blue sparks, the size of baseballs,
flew from the thing, which was the size of a Volkswagen and less than
100m away. The couple fled back to their truck and headed back to
town, but the object continued to follow them for 60-90 minutes at
treetop height, seeming to pop up in unexpected places. As the couple
reached the Illerbrun farm 800m from the road, the object crossed
their path and continued ahead of them at treetop level. When they
reached the farm they phoned the RCMP, but when they arrived the
object had gone, leaving an odour like burnt electrical insulation.
The couple later had an identical dream on the next night after the
incident but they would not reveal details. </span></span></span><br />

couple driving along the Esparron to Sillans-la-Cascade road became
aware of an intermittent light in the hills above them, which light
seemed to be growing larger and brighter, until it stopped above the
old Roman town at Amphoux. They pulled off onto the shoulder and
turned off their headlights to observer it for about 15 minutes. They
suddenly observed another light on the road behind them; a point like
a flashlight moving just above the ground. They turned and drove back
a short distance, when they encountered a phosphorescent white figure
that reminded them of a religious statuette. It had no visible arms,
legs nor facial features and no thickness. It seemed to be pulsating
like a TV image. It was of average human height. Terrified, they
hurried on to Sillans but they could still see the pulsating light
behind them. The disc of light was not part of the apparition and did
not illuminate the ground. </span></span><br />

came from a local oil refinery but then realised they were two far to
the south. These lights were like two floodlights but thought they
were very bright they did not produce any glare or beam and appeared
to be at 30m altitude about 800m away across fields. The lights were
then either obscured or turned off. They now found themselves rooted
to the spot as a dark rectangle, estimated to be up top 800m long
passed over. At its conical front was a pulsating red light, the
apparent size of the full moon and at its flat rear were the original
two lights. As this occurred the background noises faded. As the
object moved off the witnesses felt able to move. There was an
inconclusive police investigation. </span></span><br />

Johnson, a farmer in his mid-60s, was driving to the local hospital
to pick up his wife from work, when, having driven 300m from his
house, he became aware of two very large bright white lights, one
above the other, at about 50 degrees elevation in the ESE. Intrigued,
he pulled up in a muddy turning to take a look at what he first had
thought was a helicopter and then got out of the car and clambered up
a small embankment. There he was able to see the object as it came
within 50m of him, at 30m altitude. It passed over the road, banked
sharply over the hedgerow and telephone wires, came to a point above
a tree, banked right and then moved off in the direction of the
village, all of this in complete silence. It was in view for about 30
seconds. He saw that it was a cigar shaped object, tapering at both
ends, which moved like a submarine in water. It was surmounted by a
pill box dome and was 12m long, 3m wide at its thickest, metallic and
glowing white from intense white light given off by the dome on top
and a sort of grill on the underside. The former was symmetrical (3m
by 3m), made of a transparent material and divided by four or five
vertical struts. The latter consisted of several metallic one
directional bars, about 1.2m long, but no definite shape could be
made out. The light from these two sources lit up the ground
underneath the object. After the thing had gone, Arthur continued
with his journey. </span></span><br />

One of the beings left in an unidentified object, the other fled into

never captured. Traces were found at the site. The witness claimed he

Broadhurst and three of her young children were returning to Clifton
Campville from Lullington, walking along a wooded country lane when
they saw, above some trees, an orange oval shape, which at about 4kph
at an angle, towards them and then swung at an angle of 60 degrees to
travel across the top of a hedgerow, which it illuminated. After it
had been in view for two minutes, the thing blinked out. The weather

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Having
just finished work in her kitchen a woman went to close the shutters
on one of her windows, which overlooked a large meadow. There she saw
a bright reddish object resembling an egg with flattened ends, 7m
long, and 2.5-3m high, coming in from the south or south-west. It was
coming in at only about 20-30kph well above the trees on the other
side of the meadow, 75m away. Without changing speed the thing then
descended. It was the colour of a brake light and had sharp edges.
During the descent in made a sound it made a sound like a car but on
the ground was completely silent. After some moments there emerged
from the right hand side of its top, a figure closer to 2.5 than 2m
tall, that climbed on top of the object, walked round to the right,
descended apparently without touching the side to the ground and then
walked along its base and climbed back on the left disappearing into
the top again though no door could be seen projecting. This entity
had a square head, which appeared to be grey white in colour though
its face was covered by a dark, impenetrable visor. It had a short
neck and unnaturally long and thin legs, though its arms and hands,
which ended in five fingers, were more proportionate. It was dressed
in a dark outfit, like that of a scuba diver. When it moved its arms
were held motionless against its body. Moments after the entity had
re-entered it, the object took off, making the same sound as before,
vertically and then made a slow curve to land in or by a grove on the
other side of the road, 10m from the highway and 50m from the house,
at which the sound stopped again. After a couple of minutes it took
off again to the north-north west. Traces were found. </span></span><br />

it out for a walk. They were at nearby playing fields when the dog
froze, hackles raised, staring at the fields. Following the animal’s
gaze, David saw, behind a fence a few metres away, a figure 2,4m
tall, dressed in a white astronaut’s suit that appeared padded, non
reflective and self luminous, and with a visor in the helmet. It
walked stiffly and slowly, one arm raised as if carrying something.
It moved about 30m in a minute. David was so afraid that he fled,
leaving the dog to run after him. He was shocked and the dog hid
under a chair for the rest of the night. David later had inexplicable
urges to return to the site. He claimed to have been followed by men
in black before the incident. </span></span><br />

north. As it approached they saw it was shaped like a convex lens and
was rotating slowly in an anti-clockwise direction. It was 2.5m
diameter and appeared to be made of dull white metal. Above the
central axis were two bands, one red, the other blue, and on the
underside was a small curved protrusion, the same colour as the rest
of the thing, surrounded by four metal landing legs. On top of the
object were two flashing lights, one red the other blue on silver
cylinders and the upper part of the main object was a row of three
portholes. They heard a buzzing hum, like a swarm of bees. The thing
passed directly overhead at a distance of 6m, hovered briefly at 18m
altitude and then returned in the direction from which it had come,
the humming noise decreasing, and slowly descended into Lullington
Woods, about 2km away, with a falling leaf motion. After a few
seconds it suddenly shot up from the woods in a near vertical ascent.
Estimates of the time the event lasted ranged from 30-200 seconds.
The girls fled from the field. </span></span></span><br />

Giusti, a self- employed music producer, was unable to sleep. He saw
a vivid light outside his bedroom window, and hurriedly put on his
trousers and went to investigate. He turned the corner of the house
and had taken about five steps when his flashlight went off, though
the batteries were only a few days old, and he heard a strange
gurgling sound. He immediately observed two dim silhouettes no more
than 2.5m away. The one nearest to him was about 3m tall, the other
between 1.2-1.5m. Both were about 1.2m wide and their general
contours suggested they had a feathery surface. They appeared to be
moving towards him with a swaying motion. Alarmed, he threw his
flashlight at the tall figure, which it hit with a noise and a flash
of light. Joseph then fled back into the house, noting the time as
0420, though the incident only seemed to have lasted a minute. The
next morning, after his wife had gone off to work, he was getting a
glass of milk, when he saw two sets of prints; one was circular,
about 30cm diameter with a “V” shape cut in it; the other
consisted of three circles in a line extending 60cm. They went on for
about 45m to the neighbourhood swimming pool, going through a 1.8.
tall fence. Next to his flashlight were two strange pieces of
granite. The next night Joseph suffered from strange dreams. Police
regarded the story as a hoax. </span></span><br />

red flashing light on both its top and bottom. As they watched a sort
of neon green smoke screen, about 6m diameter, detached itself from
the large object, descended down to the sea and submerged. This was
followed by a second ring that submerged and a third that descended
rapidly and then sped towards the coast. After about 20 minutes the
lights around the main object went out in clusters, followed by the
top and bottom lights, leaving only small blue lights on its surface.
They could now see the dim outline of an object shaped like two
shallow bowls, stuck together rim to rim, with a row of green,
glowing, trapezoidal windows just above the mid lateral line. The
thing then assumed a bluish corona and sped off leaving a blue
streak. </span></span><br />

purple-green ball of fire crash nearby. On investigating they found
that it was a craft, in which there were two occupants, one dead, and
the other alive. They were about 1.5m tall, with long thin arms,
large black eyes, and an absence of ears and hair. The living one was
making squeaking noises. The two men emerged from the machine to find
themselves surrounded by military personnel. The Australian was told
to keep quiet and he never saw his American colleague again. </span></span></div>

salesman Steven Woodward (18) was driving through a wooded area north
of Bergen en route from Celle to Hamburg. The radio, which was turned
on, suddenly began to emit a high pitched humming sound, which faded
like the static from high tension wires. He turned the radio off and
then the car became filled with a smell like “perspiring bodies”,
which also faded. Steven turned the radio on again after about 5
minutes but it was still dead, though he now left it on. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">After
a further 10 minutes, Steven noticed, through the rear view mirror,
an intense circular light a short distance behind, at the height of a
car headlight. He thought it was a motorcyclist, though the light was
weaving about erratically. Looking over his shoulder, Steven was
surprised to see that it had disappeared, but when he looked in his
mirror it was back again, looking to his rear it was gone again. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Puzzled,
Steven stopped the car and got out. Everything seemed quiet, but when
he looked at his car, he saw a circular light moving along his roof
and bonnet. It was oval and brilliant white and it suddenly vanished.
Steven then tried to walk back towards his car, but found that his
feet appeared to be stuck to the ground and, looking down, saw the
same oval light engulfing his feet, legs and a surrounding area about
35cm in diameter. After some minutes, which were hazy in his memory,
Steven had a sensation of blood rushing down his legs and the light
had gone. After standing for a minute or two in a daze, he staggered
back to his car. He felt alright, but when he got into the car, he
encountered the putrid smell he had noticed earlier. He began to feel
dizzy and became aware of a metallic taste in his mouth and a cold
shivering down his spine. He drove off at speed and after a while the
radio began to function again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At
an undisclosed location a man walking to the top of a hill saw a
light amid the trees below him and felt drawn to the site, where he
became surrounded by a glow and his legs immobilised. Two almost
human male beings, 1.65m tall, with large eyes short blonde hair
approached. Their tight fitting suits turned from brown to silver as
they did so. They stood by a dimly lit disc. The beings seemed to
expect him, apologised and shown him a black box, which knocked over
a hairy humanoid. He could not remember what the beings said him and
he felt it was irrelevant. Nonetheless he felt that they were
friends. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Before
the incident he had a number of anomalous experiences including
poltergeist effects, appearances of hairy humanoids, cattle being
mutilated and strange lights and objects seen around the place.
Afterwards he was woken in the night to see a 2m tall, bald headed
being with large eyes and long thin arms and legs and large eyes. The
thing, which wore a helmet and had a box on its chest, gave the
witness the impression that it was old and helpless. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mrs
Barbara Street (30s) asked her 12 year old son to empty the waste bin
into the dustbin. As he opened the lid he saw a large figure peeping
at him from the bushes at the end of the long garden, and fled
inside. His mother thought he had been fooled by a light and went to
investigate. Outside, she saw first the legs then the body of a being
about 2.7m tall, wearing a white suit and a helmet with a visor on
it. She was not too alarmed, thinking it was someone playing a prank,
and yelled at it to go, but it just looked down on her. She fled into
the house, locking the door behind her. Through the kitchen window
she saw the figure floating above the ground towards the house. At
1720 she was joined by a woman friend, who confronted the figure with
her broom before fleeing indoors. A male friend of Mr Street, who was
away, then came on the scene and decided to confront what he thought
was a hoaxer, with a knife, but he too fled indoors. A second man
arrived and when he saw the square head looking in through the
kitchen window he ran off to call the police. Mrs Street and the
first man then went upstairs and opened the window. The figure was
looking at the ground and when the man shouted it looked up and
pointed something, which they were unable to make out in the dark, at
them. The next thing either could remember was walking down the
stairs feeling very calm. Two police officers then arrived and, as
the others looked on, went out to confront the figure, which vanished
as they approached it. The police allegedly said that they could not
report such an incident and advised them to forget it. Mrs Street was
later visited by a man who claimed “he was working with the aliens”
and when he had left all the clocks in the house had stopped. </span></span></div>

airfield and then circle back in a southerly direction towards them,
and, turning eastwards, rose into the sky at terrific speed and

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Kirk
Alore (17), described as a serious and responsible young man, was
driving en route to his parent’s house, when at a point about 50km
North West of Prince George his pickup engine began to misfire and
his radio developed static. He then rounded a corner and saw a red
light over some hydro towers about 1.5km away to the right. As he
watched this light, he saw another oncoming car about 800m away. He
then saw the red light shoot right over the top of this car, as he
came within 300m and then on towards him. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
it came right up to him, Kirk estimated that the thing was about two
highway widths across, though estimates ranged from 9m to 36m, and
longer than wide. The object was oblong, with a surface which
reminded Kirk of an alligator skin. It had small protruding wings
like triangles with rounded ends. On the underside he could see one
disc turning inside another. The thing was surmounted by a dome,
inside of which were multi-coloured dots, smaller than car headlamps,
which were constantly changing colour. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">At
that instant a red light shot from the dome and Kirk felt a tingling
in his arms and legs and managed to swerve to one side before passing
out. He was roused about 15 minutes later by the other motorist,
feeling sick and with sore and aching limbs. This other motorist
reported that he had come to standing outside his car and that Kirk
was in the passenger seat of his car. Despite the fact that he had
been travelling at over110kph there were no skid marks where Kirk had
skidded off the roads. Both drivers went to hospital, where they were
diagnosed with shock. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mrs
Florida Malboeuf (25) of Casgrain Street had woken up as a result of
her bronchitis and was sat by her bedroom window, when she noticed a
white luminous shape coming from the north in a cloudless sector of
the sky. It passed about 5m over the rooftops of the houses on the
corner of Casgrain and Neaubain Street. It now appeared to be a flat,
metallic silvery oval object, rather like an oyster, with a flattened
underside and a bulge on top. Along the base was a row of 4-5 white
lights. The object descended onto the roof of the apartment house
across the street, quickly being hidden by the roof wall. Within a
second a couple of beings crossed the roof, diagonally, side by side.
They were about 2m tall, very think, with long arms, wearing white
one piece garments, with light helmets, like those of a frogman. She
was unable to see their faces or make out their hands and feet. They
were about 20m away at the closest. They walked around the roof as if
looking for something, then one of them looked up to the sky, then
they walked back in the direction from which they had come. When they
were out of sight, the object rose up 7m, stopped then proceeded in a
straight easterly course down Belleschasse Street. The next day her
son Andre called the local airport who gave him a NORAD number to
ring, where someone told him that three people standing by a subway
had seen an object moving 18m above the ground that morning. Andre
found a 4.5m diameter circular depression and four footprints in the
ice and snow on the building. Confirmed by investigator Howard
Gontovnick. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A
9 year old boy was preparing breakfast when he heard a sound and went
to the door to investigate. Through the door pane he saw a greenish
creature about 90cm tall, only 1-1.5m away. The thing had a single
pedestal like leg, a single cyclopean eye, short hair, two antennae
and a straight mouth and arms. The thing then saw the boy and drew
out a devise like a gun. He went to his mother, but she was too tired
to take any notice. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
boy then decided to investigate for himself. He saw a metallic
looking oval object on the ground in his back yard. Hiding behind an
old fridge in the yard, the boy saw another oval object resting on
the flat section of his roof. The thing he had seen at the front of
the house came around and then appeared to float up into the object
on the roof and entered it via a ramp and opening, though which a
brilliantly lit interior in which there were two chairs, one of which
was occupied by a second being. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
boy then saw a third creature stood by the object on the ground and
entered in a similar fashion, the opening revealing a fourth creature
inside. As the objects took off, a sort of sliding cover obscured the
front windows in the objects. As these objects took off, they entered
something like a cloud and disappeared. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">While
on the ground the strange creatures moved around by rotating on their
bases. Investigators found circular marks 65-75mm long, 25mm wide and
a circular impression 3m wide in the back yard.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Three
women factory cleaners at the Britax factory on the Bessingby
Industrial Estate were walking to work when they observed a hazy
object hovering above the factory to which they were going, but were
unable to make out any details. They then noticed a second hazy
object hovering above a wood yard about 100m ahead of them. This
second object started to move off almost as soon as the women saw it,
halting over first the timber merchant’s office and then their
factory. When the thing hovered over a vapour discharge chimney, the
vapour disappeared and the object became distinct in appearance. It
appeared to be a rugby ball; shaped object, larger than a double
decker bus, with grey top and bottom, and a flat central section with
a row of portholes, through which could be seen a corridor and its
wall. These portholes emitted a brilliant light. On what was
apparently the back of the object was a cylindrical structure like a
telegraph pole. However, as the object moved away, this projection
was leading. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
object moved across a fruit merchant’s and then came down to within
2m of the ground over some allotments. It then lowered its tube and
seemed to suck up some of the polythene bags, which allotment users
held to keep waste material. The object moved towards the West Hill
housing estate and was lost to sight. The observation lasted between
5 to 10 minutes. . Both witnesses who were interviewed developed bad
colds following the incident, and this was believed to be the case
with the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">third</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> witness. One reported that her normally
affectionate dog refused to go near her for three days following the
incident, another that her watch stopped at the time. A claim by the
witnesses that machinery at the factory had stopped at the time of
the incident and took days to put right was emphatically denied by
the management. No independent confirmation of the story could be
found. </span><br />

silence again descended, the hunter’s hair stood on end, there was
a feeling of warmth and though the boat engine kept running the
vessel just stood still. The light came from a 6m diameter circular
object, the surface of which was covered with a diamond pattern,
hovering 20m above them. The object then moved off, at which the boat
leapt forward, knocking the men down. The thing then hovered over a
oil refinery and then over another spot, projecting its beam
downwards. The whole affair lasted 30 minutes and the hunter felt he
had lost 20 minutes. </span></span></div>

old brother, along with a family friend Mrs A B and her 4 year old
son were driving out of the Schwegman shopping centre. They were
turning into Jean Lafitte Parkway, passing a white trailer, when
Terry drew their attention to a large, lighted object, hovering above
and behind the auditorium. Mrs B stopped, and for 5 minutes they
watched as the thing made a sort of circular motion around a static
position. It was of metallic appearance, larger than a car, perhaps
as large as a house, dome shaped, with extensions on either end. The
dome was flanked by two bright red lights, with another, yellow-white
in colour, in the lower middle. On the underside were three
propellers. The whole thing appeared to be spinning. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
party were within 600m of the thing, which they were sure was not a
plane, helicopter or blimp. When the car behind them blew its horn,
they moved on, and the object began to move slowly northwards. When
it stopped again, 400m further on, they turned onto the central
reservation and kept it under observation for another 10 minutes.
After “bouncing around” for some time, the object appeared to
lower behind the trees, across a field and rise up again. It then
tilted at a severe angle and went behind the trees. The party could
see the lights shining through the trees, but first the red lights
and then the white one went out. No traces were found by the
investigators. </span></div>

illuminate from the outside and, going to their window, they saw a

the air just beyond nearby trees. It was twice as large as a house,
with reddish and greenish lateral edges and perhaps a red light on
top. The thing had a flattened underside and a domed top and was

were barking throughout. Kelly noticed no effects on the TV at the

Parish (19) a driver and general worker at the family firm, was
driving home from his girlfriend Kathy Johnson in his jeepster, west
on Highway 329, when, about 6.5km before the intersection with
Highway 42, he saw an object hovering above the treelike about 30-65m
from the road and at an altitude of 30-45m It was about 12m long, 3m
high, perfectly rectangular and emitting a brilliant light. Lee felt
compelled to look at this light, though it was much too bright. he
wanted to leave the area but was unable to act and no longer felt
that he was in control of his car. After about 15 seconds the radio
failed. When he was directly under the object, it sped away faster
than a jet. When he got home his mother drew his attention to his
painful bloodshot eyes. he realised that the 7 minute trip had taken
45 minutes. Under hypnotic regression he said that when he had got
under the object it went black then white, then he lost his sight.
When he recovered from the dazzle he was not in his jeep but in a
circular all white room 6m diameter, 6m high. Inside the room were
three “sentient machines”; a black one, as high as the ceiling,
on his left, jug shaped with a small “head” and a handless single
joined rough skinned “arm”. the rest of its body being patchy
rough and smooth. It touched Lee on the side and back, hurting him.
To the right was a red think like a coke machine, also with a single
“arm” that gave Lee the feeling that it was scared, but which
“reluctantly” touched him on the right, and gave him a prick..
The third “entity” was white, Lee’s height, (1.8m) stood facing
him; it was solid, bulky with a square “head” sloping at 45
degrees to the body. It was featureless and glowing, its arms
remained stationary, and Lee got the impression that this was “the
leader”. The whole craft seemed to rock back and forth. The red
object then behind or merged with the white one, which made a
rhythmic scraping sound, then merged with the black one, which then
disappeared leaving Lee alone. He was then back in the jeep, which
was suspended above the ground, as it had been when he left it. The
jeeps electrical system failed the next day. </span></span></div>

was a yellow humanoid about 90cm tall, which appeared to be leaping
across the opening. though its limbs did not move, giving the
impression of a gliding motion, the feet apparently about 20cms above
the ground. It had very thin limbs, a peanut shaped head, right leg
in forwards position, left leg to the rear, the left arm was extended
to the front, the right to the rear. The yellow colour was given by a
glow which surrounded the figure, which was only 30cm across, the

Gaines’ infant twin girls saw a sort of aircraft and a man jump
down from it and walk up their drive. Maureen saw nothing. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A
couple of days later she was out with the twins in their push chair
when she saw a man about 730m away acting strangely and then walking
towards them. She also saw a flash in the sly like lighting and a
white circle moving away. The man was over 1.8m tall and dressed in a
sort of blue-grey boiler suit with boots and gloves. The man, who had
shoulder length hair was talking into a walkie-talkie (an ancestor of
the mobile phone) in a foreign language. The cattle seemed agitated.
The twins claimed that this was the man they had seen on the first
occasion. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A
few days after this Maureen and the twins were collecting firewood on
the common when they saw what looked like a very small dark grey
caravan on the golf course, on closer look they saw it was an egg
shaped object on two small wheels and a single wide frontal window. A
tall man was stood beside it. The twins said that this was the
aircraft they had seen. As the field was muddy and difficult to
access Maureen did not investigate. </span></div>

simultaneously saw, 150m ahead of the, an object about the size of an
average car. It was an oblong box shaped object, slightly narrower
(about 2m wide) and rather lower than a car and was completely
covered by square windows. These also covered the roof and object
emitted an intense light that brilliantly illuminated the ground
beneath. The thing was straggling the white lines in the middle of
the road and appeared to be about 15cm above its surface. It was
moving slowly towards a small cross roads. As Stan tried to
accelerate towards it, the object also accelerated. After about 50
seconds it suddenly vanished on the spot. The couple examined the
site but could see no traces. </span></span></div>

saw, above a farm building a sort of aircraft hovering low in the

object then began to follow Eric home, rotating as it did so, at
about 20m altitude, parallel to the road, lighting up the boy and his
bicycle with its flashing red light, making no sound as it did so,
making Eric very afraid. After 300m he arrived home after having gone
down a steep slope without breaking and rushed into his kitchen and
unable to speak for some minutes. He then told his parents and elder
brother what had happened. The latter went straight out to verify the
story and saw a light over a hill but it was too distant to make out

he put his hand in a chamber and various lights went off. The beings
told him by “telepathy” that they were studying “life habits on

their fear that it might be a forest fire, they continued on their

increased they ran through the fields to raise the alarm, but when
they reached the road again, the light was no longer visible despite
the clear view. Nothing further was seen. They had seen 4-7 dark
points on the object hovering over the trees, which gave the women

out by static. This light was very powerful and she saw what looked
like barriers, which made her think that it was a road accident.
However, when she reached the spot there was nothing to be seen
although her radio was still acting up. On the top of the hill before
Llandyfaelog she saw the same thing again. He radio was now
completely drowned out. The amorphous mass with the flashing light
was now on the other side of the road. Rather unnerved Mary drove
home. When she arrived the dogs refused to greet her and one of them
suffered from extreme anxiety afterwards, which lasted for several

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Miss
Jane Human (22), a civil servant and ex-policewoman, was driving home
from her boyfriend’s home, on the B4507, across the Downs to
Lambourn, when just after the West Challow turn-off; she noticed a
circle of light in her rear view mirror. This light paced her for
800m through dips and turns. She first thought that it was a
motorcycle headlamp, but its position and colour were wrong, so she
slowed down to 8kph and turned round. She saw a jagged circle made up
of hazy red and yellow colours, apparent diameter 20cm. It seemed to
approach from 4.5m and Jane feared that it would stick on her rear
window, so she accelerated away. The light continued to follow her
for another 800m and then vanished when she went down a dip in the
road. Near the Childrey turn-off she saw the thing again, for a
moment, hovering over a hill. Jane felt at first that the light was
evil, but later felt that it was “just strange”. </span></span><br />

there was interference on the radio. It was seen by another officer,

with portholes, which departed at great speed. </span></span></div>

Stovell was sat in her living room couch, when through the window,
looking towards the Cavett Elementary School, she saw a light rising
to the left of the school, like a plane coming over the horizon. She
felt unable to take her eyes off the light, which she found strangely
beautiful. It rose and came round the Southwest corner of the school,
passing behind two trees to the south, then curved towards her house
at below treetop height, descended to just above a bare patch on the
school lawn, hovered for a moment, then continued to move again. She
then told her grandmother, Mrs Alice Bruckner, who was in the same
room, and they both went to the door to get a better look. It came
over the school fence and hovered over a small tree in their yard.
They approached to within 15m, and the object seemed to come even
closer. It was a cylinder with blunt, rounded ends, the top rather
more so than the bottom. The side facing them was transparent, and in
its lower part was a light like a flame with streamers of red and
blue, with a white, but not brilliant mass. This transparent area was
divided by dark vertical bars from top to bottom. When right under
the craft, Alice raised her arm, but the object was about 60cm out of
reach. As she raised her hand, the object rose slightly, changed
course . As the object rose, she saw crouched behind the bars, a
grey, human shaped figure, about the size of a 6 year old boy, which
appeared puffed up like a balloon. Its suit had ridges on its arms
and around the waist. No hands, feet or facial features were visible.
The figure was crouched with the arms extended as if holding non
existent controls. The object was independently observed by her
neighbour Mrs Dessie Turner, who had been attracted by a light
through her bathroom window. Mrs Turner went to the front door, saw
the object, which she estimated to be 1.95m high, 75cm diameter, and
the figure. The two women stood watching as the object crossed over
the Turner house and disappeared to the south. All three women saw at
least three helicopters over the school ground and five or six in the
distance while the “capsule” was in sight. No one would admit
responsibility for the helicopters.</span></span></div>

service cook Mrs Slavka Gorsek (26) was putting her two children (6,

when the bedroom was lit by a brilliant flash. She observed a glowing
egg shaped object land behind the hen house, some 15m away. After two
minutes of darkness the object flashed up again and made a rapid,
vertical, take off. It was 2.5-3.5m wide, with a luminous white glow
from its outer edge and then a pale blue stripe, with a blue centre
area on which there were three round spots. The family were so afraid
that they sat watching TV until Mr Gorsek came home. Three days later
Slavka noticed some traces at the site. These were five pad marks in
a pentagram formation. In each pad were marks of three tubular
segments, 1mm thick, making a triangle, sides 137mm long. A silvery
dust was also found at the site. A lorry driver was also said to have
witnessed the incident.</span></span></div>

some lights by a bridge across a swamp about 1km away. There was a

resembled windows and there were also multi-coloured “searchlights”
projecting up into the sky. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The

along, at which the two objects rose into the air and one headed
towards her in a peculiar up and down motion. In the sunlight this
thing appeared a metallic brown in colour, and had wings on its side.
It passed over a 7m tall tree and she estimated the thing was 2m
wide, 1m high. It was lost to view over her house. She was so
concentrated on this that she didn’t see how the other one
departed. No traces were found. </span></div>

Maria Tonna (52) was bringing in the cows at his 5,000 acre ranch,
15km south of Salto, along with his foreman Juan Manuel Fernandez,
when all the lights went out and a bright light appeared on the east
end of the barn. They thought it was an electrical short and fire and
Angel ran to the spot, accompanied by his dog. He then heard a noise
and saw a fiery object, like two plates face to face hovering a short
distance above the ground behind the barn. All the dogs were barking
and the cattle were acting up. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
disc began to move off in a southerly direction, breaking off the
branches of a tree by the barn and displaying a rocking motion as it
flew. It stopped and hovered above some trees 100m south of the barn
at about 20m altitude for a moment moved east another 75m and stopped
over a concrete cattle bath. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Angel
and his big police dog, Topo, walked towards the object, Angel
fascinated by the light. As they did so, the disc turned and
approached to within 20m. At this Topo began to attack the object,
but stopped on a mound about 5m short and howled. At this point Angel
noticed 6 beams of light, 3 on each side of the object, like wings.
He felt electric shocks and had to shield his eyes with his arm as
the beam hit him and then felt unable to move. The object then moved
away, its colour changing from bright orange to red as it accelerated
away, being lost to sight in woods 800m away. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Once
the object had left the generator started working again but the wires
had been burnt out. Angel’s 19 year old son’ veterinary student
Tulio had watched the incident from the house. Topo refused to eat or
drink and went round howling before dying three days later.
Examination showed that it died of internal bleeding due to
overheating of the blood vessels. Angel received a burn on the arm he
shielded his face with. Broken trees and circular marks were found
around the area, including a 10m diameter circle of burnt grass, in
the centre of which were three circles in the form of a triangle. </span></div>

Sanders and Trudy Clayton were driving North West of the High School
when their attention was drawn to a peculiar silvery airplane moving
in a strange jerky fashion, easily visible in the dark sky. It was
completely smooth with neither markings nor lights, was cross shaped
with wings that were as cylindrical as the fuselage. It kept changing
direction, descending from aircraft height to about twice that of the
telephone poles, flying backwards and forwards across them. Despite
its low altitude it presented only the apparent size of a small
plane. When the women rolled down the window and cut the engine, they
could hear a faint hum. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
women drove on for 15 minutes, but when they returned the thing was
still there. They drove off again after 2-3 minutes. When they
reached the Sanders house, they saw the same or a similar object at
higher altitude. It was also seen by Dorothy’s niece, Carolyn
Howard and another relative, David Howard. Carolyn stayed out when
the others went in. At one point the object suddenly dived
earthwards, its wings no longer visible, and appeared larger than the
nose of a 747. Carolyn was sure that it would crash, tried to scream
but found that she couldn’t, and the thing curved up at the last
minute. At this pointy she fled inside. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Bus
driver Antonio Serena (45), his wife Francisca Castellance (about 40)
and their daughters (15, 10, 9) were driving home from visiting
friends at Villar when they noticed an intense white light in the
sky. The object moved off as they passed through Liria, only to come
closer when they left it. By the time they had passed through the
next village of Villamarchante, the object had come much closer,
presenting the appearance of an oval three times the apparent
diameter of the moon, the intense light obscuring the details. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When
close to, the thing projected a yellow beam downwards and as it
approached, the car engine began to misfire, increasing the family’s
unease. Soon neither the car tail nor head lights were visible. The
object began to oscillate between the right and left of the road,
this affecting the car engine. As Antonio tried to reach the crest of
the hill, the object descended over the road ahead of them. Some of
the family could now distinguish a cupola and landing gear. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Based
on the width of the road, the object appeared to be 4.5m diameter and
as they approached the thing lifted up allowing them to pass. At this
point the 15 year old asked them to stop so that she could get out
and vomit. While they were stopped the thing hovered about 7-8m above
them and the girl thought she could hear machinery like rumbling. At
this point a car passed them and as it did so the object moved away,
only to reappear when it had passed. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
family now drove off towards Cheste and then Chiva, where they left
the object, which disappeared to the south. The next day the car had
developed ignition failure due to a discharged battery, though the
battery was new and Antonio always kept the car well maintained. A
transistor radio developed such severe static that it had to be
turned off. The `15 year old girl suffered from nausea, cramp,
headaches and depression for several days after the incident. The
younger children suffered from sleep problems. </span></div>

they saw two luminous objects coming from the direction of Lake
Boden. They stopped and got out to observed two cigar shaped objects,
with four lighted windows on their side, which were hovering about
500m away, dazzling the witnesses with their bright lights. These
dimmed and faded. Grutsch went into his house, leaving Schaffer in
the car. The lights then reappeared 50m away at about 20m altitude. S
ran towards the house, but G found himself paralysed and unable to
let him in. S then hid and then ran to a neighbour’s house, where
he rang the bell. At this he heard a whistling sound and two beings
1.2m tall appeared beside him. They had long arms, pale skin, bald
head and large slanting eyes. S panicked and smashed the door of the
neighbour’s house. They thought it was a burglar and called the
police, and then found their neighbour collapsed on the floor. He was
taken by the police but was found not to be drunk. Under
investigation by a psychologist he talked of being “in the air”
and then on the ground again. Other people had seen cigar shaped
objects in the sky.</span></span></div>

M (29) and his fiancée Miss T (21) were driving toward Grasby
Bottoms at only 25kph, owing to the icy ungritted roads, on this
cold, clear moonlit night. As they approached a cross roads, they
became aware of a pulsating orange light, filling the car, tinting
the blue bonnet and the headlights and spreading across the narrow
road. At first they thought that it was from a gritting truck, but
then realised that nothing was visible and that the source must be
right overhead and was silent. The couple became panicky and
accelerated to the cross roads, where they stopped. Here they looked
back and observed a globe of terrific pulsating light, about 25cm
diameter, on the road about 100m behind them. They drove away quickly
and the object was soon obscured by the terrain. The observation
lasted about 20 seconds. </span></span></div>

they saw several red lights in the distance. As they approached, the
lights started rotating, and a large object rose up in front of them,
hovered over their truck and flooded the area with a brilliant light.
The light then went out, and three balls of light rushed down the
hillside towards them. Debbie forced Lonnie to brake and as he did
so, they saw a man 1.5m tall, wearing green coveralls and pair of
black, square rimmed glasses standing 3m away in the road ahead. He
wore a tight fitting skull cap and did not appear to have any ears.
He waved them down, but they were frightened and carried on driving. </span></span></div>

guard Douglas Kriese observed an orange red object, the apparent of
the full moon, descend steeply over a low hill to the southeast and
was lost to sight behind the plant. Douglas went to investigate and
through a gap between buildings he saw a dark red-orange, dimly
glowing object on or just above the ground in a field about 100m
away. It resembled a can surmounted by as transparent dome, through
which he could see the landscape. The glow wavered in a peculiar
manner and he was aware of a low pitched hum and a sensation of
warmth. Unnerved, he went to phone police, who passed him on to
investigator Druffel. She asked him to see if the object was still
there, but when he went to investigate he found the thing had gone,
though he could not work out how it had left without him seeing.
Alleged physical traces turned out to be natural features. </span></span></div>

see the Pratts, when 1.6km from Nether Wallop, their car failed and
they heard a humming sound. They then saw a white luminosity and got
out of the car, to see that it was a luminous oval object. A man with
shoulder length hair, wearing something like buckles on the bottom of
his trousers approached. He looked up and down, held Mrs Bowles’
hands, with his “warm and human” hands, spoke in a foreign
language then delivered a message in broken English, which Mrs Bowles
did not feel able to repeat. The man then turned round and re-entered
the object, which took off with a high pitched sound. Mrs Strickland
felt that her mind had gone blank, and could remember nothing of the
conversation. </span></span></div>

soil was burnt to a depth of 75mm. Within the burnt patch were three
holes 25mm diameter and 69mm deep, forming a triangle 135cm by 130cm

found in samples taken and the grass itself did not support

at telegraph pole height, giving off a powerful glare which
illuminated a wide area. After about 4 minutes the light shot into
the sky, leaving a hole in the cloud cover; the cloud seeming to
evaporate then reformed, the object glowing through it. The cloud and
dome then seemed to form themselves into the shaped of a grey dome
with a black base. This thing then shot straight towards them,
speeding overhead and out to sea. </span></span><br />

bright light in the sky over Pendle Hill. This thing descended,
hovered for a brief time and then came towards the witnesses, coming
within a metre or so, changing from a luminous sphere to an immense
cigar shaped thing 27-30m long, filled with a vast number of
multi-coloured lights which gave the impression of moving. One the
sides were ovals that resembled windows. The thing was surrounded by
a grey mist and a sound like a cross between a hum and the sound of
the sea on the shore. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
this object approached the car headlights dimmed and the engine cut
out and would not restart. Brian’s friend became very afraid and
the men, who had been stood outside the car, felt a sensation of
something pressing on them. They got back into the car and Brian made
attempts to restart it, without success. After about 5 minutes the
thing moved off to the south, towards Manchester. Brian was then able
to restart the car and they carried on to their place of work. They
both had severe headaches and Brian suffered from a watery eye and
went off his food for a while. </span><br />

after a short while. Eric and Tammy saw the object descending in the
west and ran towards it. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
they approached, they saw that it was a circular object with bright
yellow lights rotating round the rim in a slow anti-clockwise motion
(about 2 revs per minute). As the thing moved along, it performed
peculiar scooping motions. Twice it tilted at an angle, revealing a
small dome, which was the same colour as the rest of the object, on
its top. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">At
one point it stopped over the Diversion Channel and the boys tried to
reach it but were stopped by the Tucson Motel perimeter fence. They
followed it to where the Diversion Channel went under the Benson
Highway. The object was now very large and low. Eric kept falling
over in the gravel as Tammy walked towards the thing, arms
outstretched, but it rose up to 75m, dimming its lights as it crossed
the highway and then putting them on again. As it reached aircraft
height the lights went out. They had been observing the object for 30
minutes. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
children then went inside to watch TV but then heard a sound like a
pulsating jet and ran out, with Eric’s sister Andrea watching from
the door. They now saw an object that reminded Andrea of the top
third of a sphere with completely smooth outlines. It was dark grey
in colour with reddish orange lights rotating around its underside at
about 1 rev per second. It was flying at a 20-30 degree angle, just
above the treetops. It was only half the size of the previous object,
but much closer. It moved from the east to the North-West and then
turned west, passing over the house, just above treetop height at
helicopter speed, leaving a short double trail. The first object was
estimated to be 7.5-9m in diameter, the second 3.5-6m. </span></div>

Taylor (17) was walking home from his girlfriend’s when he saw a
glowing oval object with an orange halo at a place called “Hendre
Bridge”. he went to tell some friends but they laughed at him, so
he continued on his way. At 2130hrs. in a country lane about 800m
from this spot, he suddenly noticed that the usual lights of Brawdy
Airbase were no longer visible through one of the field gateways.
Strolling over to the gate, he saw the lights were being blocked by a
very large domed object, with a faint glow around the outer edge,
sitting in a field. It was about 9-12m diameter, 6m high. Stephen
stopped to look at this object and smoke a cigarette. While he was
lighting his cigarette he heard someone coming from the extreme right
and looked around to see a figure 1.8m tall, with a suit “which
looked transparent but wasn’t”. It had no hair, high cheek bones
and unnaturally large eyes. Where its mouth should have been there
was a small rectangular box from which a tube extended over its left
shoulder. The figure wore a jacket with a zip in it. Stephen
panicked, struck at the figure but did not appear to hit it and fled
home. When he arrived home his normally friendly dog growled and
showed its teeth at him, and had to be put in the kitchen. It was
quite normal the next day. No traces were found in the field. </span></span></div>

sleep. Jennifer woke to find the lights on the vehicle on and asked
Michael to turn them off. An hour later she awoke again and to find
the lights on again and the battery flat. When the pair first awoke
they got the impression that something was preventing them from
opening their eyes. When they did open them they saw a strange object
with flashing lights some distance away. This rose, moved sideward
and then zoomed off when a truck approached. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
truck driver clutch started the couple’s vehicle and they proceeded
on, erratically, towards Brisbane. The generator, lights and
temperature gauge kept malfunctioning, the felt a force was pulling
their vehicle sideways and there were noises in the panel work and
back of their covered utility vehicle. When they arrived at St George
the couple saw several objects in the sky. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
hovering object at Moonie emitted a very acrid smell. The pair also
found a strange piece of metal under the bonnet. The truck driver who
helped them also developed problems with his truck. </span></div>

Pauline Coombes was driving her three children home after driving one
of their friends back to his house, when her 10 year old son drew her
attention to a light performing oddly in the sky. As they turned into
the main Dale Road the boy yelled that the object was coming towards
them. It had descended and was approaching along the road at no more
than 4m altitude, illuminating the hedgerows. The thing was about the
size and shape of a rugby ball, of a yellow colour with a grey hazy
light underneath it. The object flashed over the car and then
returned, following on the left hand side above the treetops as they
turned into the side road to Ripperstone farm. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Over
the last 800m to the farm, as the family became increasingly, the car
headlights dimmed down and the engine began to fail, going out
completely as they reached the house, where they told her husband
Billy and their 16 year old son what had happened. The lad went out
and saw a light moving seaward. Pauline had the feeling the something
was outside waiting for them and when she was making tea at 2230 she
saw a red-orange circular object arc in from the sea and disappear in
a field. </span></div>

she saw a contraption on the grass, obscuring the greenhouse. She
first thought that it was farm machinery but then saw that it was a
three tiered circular object, the top being a dome of aluminium
appearance, about 4.5m high and 10-12m diameter, looking like a
squashed jelly mould, with no visible surface features. After a
couple a minutyes Josephine went to wake up her young sons, so that
they too could see the object, but when she returned it had vanished,
though less than a minute had elapsed. No traces were found. A pony,
which normally stood by the greenhouse to be fed at that time, had
moved 400m to the other end of the field. </span></span><br />

light close to the ground. They first thought it was a car headlight,
but were shocked when it expanded into a large orange coloured
hemisphere. As it came toward the car they felt impelled to put the
radio on. All they obtained was heavy static. As the object
approached closer at ground level, they could see the silhouette of a
dark, tall ,broad, human figure, surrounded by a white haze, in the
middle. They drove off, experiencing no effects on their engine, the
object pacing them, keeping a level course, though the road went up
and down. When they reached the main road they saw two white lights
in front of the object, which they interpreted as a car between them
and it. When they glanced back a few seconds later there was nothing

reflecting off the walls. Looking out of the window, Cyril saw the
sky was orange and there were two silvery objects in the area of
coloured light. One was an egg shaped object about 1.2, diameter,
swinging back and forth above and behind the chimneys of a house,
through a distance of about 15-18m. The other object was a large
figure of a man in a boiler suit, about 2.1m tall, about 12m above
Cyril’s window, in the attitude of a free fall parachute jumper. It
wore a silvery one piece suit, with a hood which seemed to obscure
its face. No other features were visible. This figure hung motionless
for about 25 minutes while the egg swung back and forth, the figure
between Cyril and the egg. Both egg and figure then moved away
sideways out of sight, he got up to prepare for his early morning
coach run. </span></span></div>

turbulence. Both men seemed to be associated with ovoid objects that
took off into the sky. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Steven
now realised that the men were less than 1.5m tall, one of them being

with normal hair. Both wore metallic blue suits with what looked like
divers tanks on their backs. A metallic looking, disc shaped object,
with a central hole, then descended low over all three, making a
clicking sounds which increased in pitch until it seemed like a jet
engine and then into a howl, at which the disc took off with a
deafening sound. The strange small men then walked off, followed
shortly after by a hairy humanoid which seemed to ne following them.
For some time after this Steven was plagued by animal like screams. </span><br />

was a figure about 2m tall, very thin, dressed in a silvery boiler
suit, with a black visor covering the face, along with black boots
and gloves, which began to walk towards Mark, who began to run away
in panic. The figure stopped underneath the street lamp, with its
legs apart wiggling its fingers, then turned around and went back the
way it had come, walking stiffly, into the sewers. As it turned

K (13) and Bridgitt O were walking east up the Tucson Diversion
Channel towards the junction with Julian Wash. They were coming up
the sloping access road from the bottom to the south side of the
wash, when Bridgitt saw, three blocks east, just above the confluence
point, a dark grey drum shaped object with 4-6 legs hanging down from
its outside edge. It resembled a huge grey spider. It was rising from
bushes a 100m or so east of the point. It rose up to 9m then shot off
towards the Southeast, in a swift curve, out of sight. The girls
described the object’s legs as being thin and joined in the middle.
The drum was a sort of squaring oval divided by 5-6 vertical
divisions. There were no windows or openings of any kind. When it
tilted away from them, they noticed a sort of crosshatch pattern on
the underside. The legs terminated in roundish pads. Before they
could really take in what had happened, they saw, in the clump, a
strangely dressed tall thin humanoid figure with long dark brown
hair, which gave the impression of being a woman and was dressed in a
blue jacket with brown trousers and footgear. Following this person
were five identically dressed but smaller figures, who only came up
to the shoulders of the first one, who was of normal height. The
figures moved quickly out of sight in the direction of Ajo Way and
the water detention reservoir. The “woman” stopped and looked
back at the smaller figures who caught up with her, The next day the
two girls found three sunburst marks in a regular triangular pattern
in the soil at the site. </span></span></div>

Moreton, a farmer, was at home with his daughter. They were walking
towards a gate in the field where they had been feeding the lambs,
when, looking towards a pine forest, about 1.5km away, they saw
something that resembled a large aluminium van. They were puzzled as
there were no roads in the area. After about 390 seconds the object
rose up vertically, sank and rose again. It was as bright as the
moon, though it was a rainy dusky evening. The thing finally sank
again below the horizon. The next day Kenneth checked the area and
found that the tops of spruce trees in a nearby wood had been broken

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mrs
Rose Grenville, proprietor of Haven Fort Hotel, was reading in bed,
listening to a Spanish radio station, when the radio went out and she
heard a humming sound. Thinking she had left the central heating on,
she went to check the boiler. She found it was off and realised the
hum did not sound like the heating. Wondering if it was a ship, she
looked out of her bedroom window. Though ther night was dark and
drizzling and there was no moon, the field at then back of the hotel
appeared to be illuminated, as if by brilliant moonlight. She then
saw that the light came from a mass of intense, pulsating bluish
light in the corner of the field. She thought it was thieves after
her chickens, but when she looked through binoculars, she observed an
oval object with two tall (c 2m) figures with pointed heads on which
no features were visible. They had long arms “like a gibbon” and
legs and appeared to be dressed in boiler suits made of some white
plastic material. They were measuring something and climbing up the
bank. She tried to yell to her husband, but found she was unable to
call out. Petrified, she turned on the lights, but when she looked
through the window again the object and beings had gone. An hour
before this incident, her daughter Francine (20) had been awaked by a
violent rattling of her window. Rose next day found a crescent shaped
pressure mark on the grass, but this was gone when the investigators
arrived. </span></span></div>

creature creeping along a low wall of loose stones on the left side
of the road. He first thought it was a dog or cat, but when his
headlights picked it out, he realised that it was something he had
never seen before. It had an oversized melon shaped head, with two
large lidless eyes, shining like orange marbles. The head, which
rested on a thin neck, , was as large as its thin body. Its limbs
were long and spindly, the hands and feet large, the skin hairless
but rough and peach coloured. It was about 1.2m tall. Its long
fingers were curling round the rocks as it made its way along. Bill
was frightened and drove off fast before his companions had time to
seen the creature. </span></span></div>

returning from his girlfriend’s down Millers High Road, John Baxter
(15) saw a short figure approaching. Thinking it was an acquaintance
who was quite small, he called out. The figure did not reply. The two
stopped facing one another, John only seeing a shadowy form. Then,
when he took a step closer, it scurried off down a shallow wooded
gully to the left. He now saw the figure in silhouette about 10m
away. Its feet seemed “moulded “ around a rock, several feet from
a tree trunk,, which it was grasping with its long fingers as if for
support. It resembled a monkey, except for its dark “figure 8”
head. Its eyes were like two spots of light looking at John, which
made him very uneasy, and he walked quickly away, later being given a
lift in a car. </span></span><br />

looking out of the window at the glow, he saw a huge faceless figure
nearly the full height of the window (2.1m) in a glowing silver suit
and square helmet. One or other of them phoned the police and a
neighbour, Mr Hewison, the farm manager. The dog refused to go out
and was very agitated. Paget says that while the figure was at the
window, there was interference on the TV and the window rattled. When
Billy picked up courage to go outside there was nothing there. When
Hewison and the police arrived, Pauline saw the figure fade away. </span></span></div>

Coles had just put the car in the garage when he saw a brilliant
flash of light in the sky at 60 degrees elevation. A few seconds
later he saw, 15 degrees below, an object descending at terrific
speed before hovering at less than 50m altitude. The thing was a sort
of disc with a central band of luminous pink, with shades of red and
green. This band extended about three quarters of the diameter of the
thing. When the object stopped the light on the band faded rapidly
away. It was now about 300m away and appeared to be about 120m
diameter. It rose up, in a curved trajectory, to around 600m and then
descended to 30m before rising up and disappearing behind the garage.
Alan called to his wife but she seemed not to hear. He then ran to
his back garden where he saw the thing perform swooping manoeuvres

Armando Valdes and seven conscript soldiers (Humberto Rojas, Ivan
Robles, German Riquelmo, Raul Sainas, Pedro Rosales, Juan Reyes and
Julio Rato), were on routine assignments when Pedro, who was one of
the sentries, observed two violet lights descend from the sky. One of
the lights was about 500m away, illuminating the area and
approaching. Pedro rushed back to report to Valdes, who ordered his
men to screen off their camp fire. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
totally silent light has a red spot at either end and advanced and
retreated. Commending himself to God, Valdes went out to challenge
this light. He appeared to have been only a few metres from the camp
fire and in full view of his men when he seemed to just disappear.
About 15 minutes later he reappeared in a manner which they could not
specify, saying “you don’t know who we are or where we come from
but we will be back soon”. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Valdes
only recalled blacking out, waking for a moment by the camp fire and
then blacking out again. He recovered at 0700hrs., still thinking it
was 0430, which was the time told by his watch, the date on which had
been advanced by five days. Valdes, who had shaved shortly before his
adventure now had five days growth of beard. </span></div>

slightly to her left a dazzling white light at treetop height
(about15m). She briefly lost sight of this but slowed down. About
300m on, through the trees, she saw small orange lights. She slowed
down further and a bit later on she saw on the edge of the road a
tall, large arc or semi-circle of flashing orange lights. She was not
able to make out, in the darkness of the light between the lights,

orange lights she found difficult to recall exactly. </span></span><br />

were pear shaped with the pointed end upwards. The top one was white,
the lower, dark, fluorescent green. They descended in a graceful
fashion until the lower one was obscured by buildings 300m away. The
second object disappeared in a similar manner. Looking through
binoculars, Shirley saw a green glow on a rooftop. A check of the
area showed that the objects could not have descended behind the
buildings but must have gone through them. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">After
receiving a 999 call from a member of the public (who investigators
were never able to trace), about a mysterious light near the lake in
the forest, two police officers, who would not allow their names to
be used, were dispatched to the area. They arrived at about 0412 and
entered the forest, really a large wooded recreation ground, and
observed, to their left, a bright red light by the eastern end of the
lake. They got out of their car to observe this object, which was at
ground level, its lower portion partially obscured by small trees,
about 300m away. It was red, resembled a bell tent, was pulsating
between dull and bright and was silent. After two or three minutes
the thing appeared to dissolve on the spot. Rather apprehensively,
the officers separated to investigate further. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">One
of the officers was dumbfounded to see a large white inverted crescent
shaped object directly above him. As he called out to his colleague,
this object also dissolved. They were unable to see anything further,
though they noticed a strong smell of burning localised in the
eastern area of the lake. Investigation at the site revealed that a
large bush had recently been flattened at the centre, had suffered
slight burns and was almost broken in half by a clean fresh break at
1.5m above the ground. Indeed all the branches had been broken at a
height of 1.5m over an area spreading 25m in one direction, 20m in
the other. On a large mud bank 50m away, saplings had been uprooted
and two bore holes 10-15cm apart, 4cm in diameter were found.
Evidence of burns could not be confirmed. </span><br />

spinning silver –grey dome standing on a fixed lead-grey base.

beams of yellow light, which just dissipated into the air. No light

however, light up the surroundings. The thing then began to descent
obliquely towards a water tower beside a factory on the
Maubeuge-Hautmont boarder. This was an area than had been used as a
waste tip but was now being colonised by wild flowers. As the thing
approached the ground it turned sparkling white, lighting up a large
circle on the ground. The thing stayed for about a minute before
rising slowly, the light on ther ground fading as it did so. Suddenly
it then shot off at terrific speed roughly following the course of
the La Sambre river. </span></span><br />

Coombes twins were playing in the grass when she observed a very
tall, silvery humanoid figure, wearing a sort of square helmet with a
black visor though which no facial features could be distinguished.
It had long arms by its side, was quite slim. It walked slowly along
15m from them and went straight through a barbed wire fence into the
next field. The dogs were growling and their hair was stood up on
end. At the bottom of the field the youngsters saw an enormous
silvery saucer shaped object with lights and windows all around it.
An opening appeared, followed by a ladder which was then retracted,
following which a sort of red box was ejected from the object which
rose into the air. Then another similar but larger object appeared
above the first one ,and they both flew off rapidly but soundlessly
across the field to the cliff face and entered the sea between the
shore and Stack Rocks; The box disappeared before the girls eyes.
There was a buzzing in the air and the girls fled back in panic.
Their mother Pauline returned to the site with the girls and found a
burned area and footprints 60cm long, with huge strides. While they
were looking one of the twins and her elder sister saw the object in
another field, again taking off for the Stacks. Another circle 15m
diameter was found in this field. The twins developed rashes on their
arms and legs. That night at 2300hrs.Pauline Coombes, observed,
through her living room window a tall silvery luminous humanoid
figure moving around on the drive. It suddenly vanished. Next day she
suffered from swollen and reddish eyes and a sore arm. </span></span></div>

McLennan and Fiona Morrison (both 10) were playing near an old
disused railway track behind a pub when they heard a strange humming
noise. They went to a wooded area to investigate, and saw in front of
the fence around the woods a long (c10m) cylindrical object with
rounded ends and a small dome on top. The object was a polished
metallic colour, with no visible markings nor openings. On top was a
steady red light. In the centre of the lower section was a red band,
about one quarter the width of this portion, which appeared to be
rotating. The object was about 400m away, hovering about 60cm above
the ground, straggling the depression of the old track. By the side
of the object was a silvery figure 1.8m tall, dressed all over in a
silver suit, with a row of silver buttons down the front. It was
quite thin and no facial features were visible. They were confused
about its arms, describing them both as unusually short and unusually
long. When the figure started to move towards them, the girls fled.
After some seconds they looked back and the being had gone, and the
object took off to the right in three jerky steps. Both girls’
mothers, Mrs Caroline and McLennan and Mrs Maureen Morrison had heard
the sound even though Caroline was deaf in one ear. Next day Caroline
and the children found an area of damaged trees about 100m diameter.
Samples were taken but these got lost in the post. The girls did not
report the matter to their mothers until the next day. Caroline later
received a threatening phone call and saw lights moving over the site
at night. A neighbour also heard the sound. </span></span></span><br />

they pulled into their apartment complex parking lot, Doris
Cunningham and her son Michael saw, hovering directly in front of
them, near the swimming pool, a huge spherical object, which was
revolving like a top. Michael saw the object first and drew his
mother’s attention to it. The top of the object was dome shaped and
glowing orange, brighter than the background of the clear night sky.
The thing appeared to be hovering at about the height of the 12 story
apartment building. As they got out of their car to go into the
building, the object sped off at the speed of a jet. There was no
sound during the 90 second observation. </span></span></span><br />

A minute later three dark human silhouettes 1.8m tall, surrounded by
mist, approached the boys from near the object, moving with a limping
gait. The boys ran way and looked back in time to see the figures
fade from view. Investigators found the boy’s stories contradictory
and containing obvious lies (such as a claim by one that President
Carter had called him to talk about the experience), but a police
officer who saw them soon after the alleged incident confirmed that
two of the boys were very upset. </span></span></span></div>

something that resembled “an old fashioned railway coach” cross
the sky low in an arc. Inside he saw a man, wearing a large hat,
reading a newspaper, and a woman dressed in a bonnet. At about the
same date, two female neighbours saw a large bright white sphere
hovering over the trees at the bottom of their gardens. The object
headed towards them, coming to within 3m, at which it rose above
their heads and took off. Their cat went missing for four days. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">On
her farm, 11km east of Orange, Mrs Hervey was reading in bed when she
heard the dog barking and a horse whinnying in a most agitated
manner. Before she could get up to investigate, what she thought was
a stray dog, her 16 year old son came into her room. He too had been
awakened by the noise, and looking through his bedroom door, he had
seen about 90m away to the north west a very bright light complex on
or near the ground. It consisted of four bright white lights in a
row, which seemed to slowly increase in brilliance and then fade to a
red orange colour and go out. At this point he ran in to inform his
mother. They returned to his room but could see nothing on the
darkened hill side. Mrs Hervey then went through the house to the
front door, where she was surprised to see a paddock on the other
side of the road to their property brightly illuminated by a
monochromatic white light source. Moving over to the fence, she was
able to see the apparent source of the illumination in the NNW. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">It
was bright elongated rectangular object with four square windows
along the side, apparently moving slowly over and around the crest of
the hill. She ran back to fetch her son but when they came out again
all they could see was a bright glow in the same area, which slowly
faded out. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Neighbours
were also disturbed by the animals acting up. Local factory workers
made two independent reports of unidentified flying objects. The next
day Master Hervey searched, without success, to find cartridge
shells, thinking the lights could have come from hunters. The next
morning Mrs Hervey made a more detailed examination and found two
circular areas denuded of grass, with a covering of finally
granulated soil. Investigators some days later found four such holes
5cm in diameter, arranged in a trapezoid shape, sides 5.3m, 10.1,
4.3, 5.8m. Thermoluminescent testing showed no significant signs of
radioactivity or heating.</span></div>

illuminated by a yellowish light and a strange object rose up from
behind the building and hovered a metre or so above the roof, the
light changing from yellow to white. They noticed that the three dogs
appeared to be paralysed. When, after a few minutes, the object left,

A Zurnamer and his 15 year old daughter were driving the 16km to a
petrol station and back. During the journey they had difficulty with
radio reception, and on the reverse run they encountered a row of
lights, which they assumed was a line of traffic. Most of these
lights dipped, but one continued very birght. As they got within 135m
they saw that this was an elongated wavering light, that appeared to
be above the road, They turned round and drove away from the light,
home, at up to 200kph, but the brilliant white 3m high light seemed
to keep up with them all the way home. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Farm
worker Mark Henshall (16) was motorcycling down a rural stretch of
road on this wet night at about 50-55kph, when he observed two purple
lights, like the full beam headlights of motorcycle in the distance.
They kept pace with him for 30 seconds and then disappeared. Moments
later a car overtook him and as it did so a brilliant light seemed to
surround both Mark and the car. The light came from an oval object
resembling a meat dish, pink-purple in colour, with a solid outline,
above and behind them. Mark’s cycle began to lose power, his limbs
felt hot and his jacket began to steam. Both his arm and the petrol
tank were very hot. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">After
both cycle and car had gone a further 30m, the object disappeared.
The next day the cycle brakes, which had been in good order had
become so worn that they needed resetting. Mark’s clothes were dry
despite the rain, though there were no permanent traces on them, his
face and hands were flushed and about two weeks later he suffered
from a bout of stomach trouble. The driver of the car told Mark that
he too had lost power and had seen the light, but could not see the
object. He would not be interviewed but wrote to the local paper
confirming the story. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mrs
Millicent Parr (68) was watching the Jubilee Eve fireworks display on
TV. She was alone in the house, her daughter, with whom she lived,
being out. Suddenly the TV picture was reduced to a thin band of
light and then disappeared altogether. She switched off the set and
turned on the kitchen light to make some tea using the electric
kettle and then returned to the living room, switched on that light
and sat about 2m from the window. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Suddenly
the whole room was enveloped in green and red light, which she first
thought was a jubilee firework but then changed her mind. Pulling
back the net curtains, she observed a brilliant sphere hovering
3-4.5m above her garden. It was 30cm in diameter, a red core being
surrounded by a green perimeter 10cm in diameter. The thing was
spinning and was as bright as a searchlight, illuminating the sides
of her house and the facing side of the neighbours’ but not any
other surroundings. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">After
a few seconds Millicent went outside for a better look and observed
the thing hovering a few metres above the 3.5m high lilac tree in her
garden. She almost went underneath it, before it rose gently to the
north, just missing the roofs of some houses 100m away. As the thing
moved away Millicent observed a white tail, which started at the same
as the sphere, tapered down and wound into a smaller sphere at the
end. While Millicent was in the garden, she did not observe any
illumination of the surroundings. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">She
called a neighbour, Mr Jardene, but he had not observed anything out
of the ordinary. The TV failure was caused by the reset button being
released, indicating that the set had become overloaded. The set
worked perfectly when re-set. The light had been seen travelling east
to north between 2330 and 2345hrs. by teenager Louise A, who lived a
few streets away. It was travelling slowly and it was so bright that
it lit up the room. She observed it descend below rooftops to the
north. Her sister Carol confirmed the illumination of the room but
did not see the object herself. </span><br />

coming from a disc shaped object 25m across, 15m high, with a bubble
like top and with two steady lights and other lights which revolved
and flashed. The object began to glow and illuminated the trio with a
sort of floodlight. It then directed three-five intense electric
blue, thin rays at them, which centred on their bodies. Dale heard
crackling sounds, noticed that their bodies were glowing an eerie
blue and felt trapped in a force field that mad movement slow and
heavy, as if in a dream. After about 10 seconds the light and field
suddenly vanished and the thing glided away with only its steady
lights on, the humming fading as it did so. </span></span></div>

P. (8) and a friend were at the water cress bed, when the second boy
saw a small being dressed in red. They searched but were unable to
see anything, until they walked alongside the beds, where they saw
some people dressed in red and yellow one piece suits, helmets and
air tanks on their backs, running very quickly with their knees up
about an old hut. They had strange red eyes, which frightened the
boys, who ran away. </span></span></div>

researchers Terry Shotton and Chris Bourne were driving near the
Hilderstone Level when Terry had a sudden feeling that they would
encounter a UFO as they turned the corner. When they did this they
encountered a golden-yellow ball of light, which came towards them,
getting brighter. When the thing disappeared for a moment, they
stopped the car. They then observed the ball heading towards them,
lighting up the surroundings. After a couple of minutes the thing
floated to the ground behind trees, leaving a glow where it had
disappeared. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Twenty
minutes after retiring to bed, Mrs R. J. was awakened by the sound of
someone walking up the stairs into her apartment. She had a sensation
of someone in the room, was paralysed and unable to speak. She felt
the sensation of the sheets moving as she were being lifted and
recalled a figure in a bluish suit. Suddenly she found herself wide
awake and rushed into the living room to see it was 0157 by the
clock. A friend she thought might have visited her had not. A scar
like a wheel with spokes, 1cm diameter was found on the back of her
left shoulder and she had a severe headache for a couple of days.
Under regression she recalled an ugly being dressed in a shirt with
an inverted triangle design on it, no pupils in the eyes, no neck,
normal nose, line like mouth, small, flat ears, hair thin on top,
slight around the sides, long fingers. The being carried her to a
place called Fernan’s Lake. They went through a door to a place
with windows, seals and a cold floor. Inside were three other
creatures, two like the abductor, one who looked more humanoid. This
latter took her by the hand and she no longer felt cold. A door
opened, she heard a humming sound and she observed an upright wheel
in the centre of the room, which the entities pulled her back from.
She noticed the walls of the room were made of dull metal , the room
was lighted, but no source was visible. She was guided into this
second room, which was square with rounded corners. In the ceiling
was an apparatus like a shiny, streamlined wagon wheel, from which
metallic instruments hung. She was mentally asked to sit down on a
box like structure. The being asked her to take off her shirt, and,
to her embarrassment, asked her about the line of her swimming
costume. She next recalled lying on her stomach, the whole floor
rising, some kind of warm light on her back, and a liquid that burned
put on her shoulder. When she protested the being mentally told her
that they didn’t mean to hurt her and got the impression that it
did not understand pain. She was told they would “change her for
the better” and they would meet again. The humming sound returned ,
the door opened and three of the entities entered. When she demanded
to be taken home again, she found herself sat up in bed. </span></span></div>

aware of a tingling in his body. The overcast sky then became
suddenly clear, with a green tinge. The terrain was more open than he
remembered for the area and the vegetation was unfamiliar and he came
across tall cliffs where there had been none. He reached a waterfall
where he saw four small human like figures playing music on flutes,
while another was filling a jug with water. He then joined the others
and Ned took some photographs before the group before the beings
moved off up the canyon and out of sight. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Ned
then retraced his steps, only to feel the tingling again and find

showed only 30 minutes had elapsed. The photographs he took came out
as green tinged shadows. </span></div>

faces. All three had large eyes but with only hints of mouths and
noses, and all three wore shroud like cloaks. The taller being seemed
to communicate by telepathy, telling her she had to go with them, but
she refused. They seemed to accept this and allowed her to go,
heading to the door in a crawling slow motion, She then felt being
dragged back to the couch. She tried to escape again, meeting her

was her husband coming home at 1730. Nothing further was revealed by

lights. Both these and the body of the object gave off light which
lit up the boy and his surroundings. The thing stood about 1m above
the ground on five thin legs.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Then, soundlessly, a sort
of door opened in the thing’s side, from which emerged a brilliant
white light. Then the light switched off and a sort of undulating
carpet descended slowly. Down this came a figure about 2m tall,
dressed in a tightly fitting luminous white suite. The entity had
shoulder length hair like a girl and walked slowly and stiffly as if
on wooden legs and held its arms out “like a sleepwalker”. He was
unable to make out its face or feet but was fascinated by the fact
that it had green circles on the top of its hand When JC sneezed the
thing started moving towards him, running as if in slow motion,. The
boy fled home back through the waste ground. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">There his older sister
Elaine told him it had just been a dream and he set out to the nearby
farm to collect milk but on his way met the same figure, which
behaved in the same fashion. The next day he set out on the milk
chore again, but his mother, afraid that a madman was on the loose,
asked her daughter’s fiancée Marcel Solvini to keep an eye on him.
Marcel stayed on the opposite pavement. As JC was retuiring from the
farm he passed a garden, where he saw the silvery figure again and
fled, screaming and spilling the milk. Marcel crossed over to see
what was up but saw nothing. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">The next day JC went out
again with his mother, Elaine and Marcel and all four saw a red
light, the apparent size of the moon, just above the mountain that
overlooked the town. As they watched the thing darkened and went down
the mountainside “like someone diving into a pool”. The gendarmes
were called but by the time they arrived the light had disappeared. </span></span></div>

was an aircraft, bur when it came straight towards her, the green
light flashing, she then thought it might be a helicopter. As she
slowed on another curve obn County Road 15, the object came down
almost on her car bonnet, level with the windscreen and then over the

out a sort of Saturn shape, at least as large as her car. She drove
on to the house of a friend she was going to pick up on the way, Mary
Root, and both women returned to the site of the first encounter but

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mona Stafford (35 or 26),
owner of an arts and crafts shop, was returning from a restaurant
with a friend of hers Elaine Thomas (48) and a friend of Elaine’s,
Mrs Louise Smith, to whom she had recently been introduced. They were
driving down Rt 78 about 1. 6km south of Stanford, when Mona and
Louise saw an intense red glow in the eastern sky, rapidly
descending. Mona thought it was a plane about to crash and asked
Louise to hurry to the spot, so they could help. The object then
stopped at treetop height about 100m away. They now observed it was a
huge disc shaped object, at least the size of two houses (c 30m
diameter), surmounted by a brilliant blue white dome, the light from
which was reflected on the metallic disc. Below the disc was a row of
round windows, through which a red light was rotating counter
clockwise; below these there was a row of yellow lights. The object
rocked gently from side to side, then circled the car to behind. They
had gone another 400m when the car was lit from behind by a brilliant
blue light. The women appeared to have stopped for an instant, seen
that the light was a beam from the disc, and quickly got back in the
car. As they drove on they noticed a complete silence, including
absence of wind, their skin began to tingle and they developed
headaches and severe eye pains. They realised their car was doing
135kph but Louise, who was driving was unable to stop. The car was
pulled to the left, then seemed as though it was being dragged
backwards over humps in the road. Looking out they saw what appeared
to be a strange wide road stretching far ahead of them, though there
was no road like it in the area. A red light on the dashboard
indicated that their car had stalled, though they still had the
sensation of moving forwards.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then suddenly they were in Hustonville,
13km beyond the point where they had first seen the disc. When they
arrived at the Smith home they found it was 0125, though the journey
should have only taken 50 minutes. .Louse's watch hands were
whizzing round and she had searing pains on her hands and face when
she went to wash and her pet parakeet panicked when she reached out
to touch it. All three women were experiencing great pains in their
eyes and had curious weals on the backs of their necks. Louse's car
developed engine trouble. These troubles led top the matter being
reported to the press and thence to hypnotic regression by Dr Leo
Sprinkle. These revealed vague memories of terror in being dragged
into a wall of blackness, lying on a table with a huge eye over head,
medical examinations by five short humanoids wearing surgical
garments. There were recollections of another woman on the table and
at looking though at the sky through a long tunnel. Elaine recalled
the entities as being 1. 2m tall, with one large blue and one black
eye. Mona later felt impelled to return to the site. </span></div>

and vertex pointing upwards, and with a row of lights around its
base, the whole thing giving off a yellow-green light. After a while
a rocket like object rose into the sky from an undetected location on
the ground, without a sound. After observing the object for about 2
hours, they saw a very powerful blue-white light illuminate the
forest. A second object, with a pulsating red-yellow light and three
windows on the other end, then came into view. From its upper part a
white gas cloud was emitted, which was distinctly bounded and
appeared to rotate. The diameter of the upper portion was 50m. The
second object was in view for about 40 seconds, and then both objects
darkened and vanished. </span></div>

dismissed these explanations and walked to the window for a better
look. As she did so, the object rose up very slowly, at an angle, in
a southerly direction. As the thing cleared the trees and a small
hill, she was able to see that it was a large yellow sphere, with two
stubby wings in its middle. She awoke her husband Eugene and son
Kurt, who observed the object slowly departing, spiralling as it did
so. They estimated it was about 30m in diameter. Eugene skied to the
site later than morning but could find no traces. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jean Dolecki (55), a
central heating service engineer, was driving home along a back road,
on this dark night, when he noticed a brilliant ball high in the sky.
The ball descended rapidly towards him, so he stopped the truck and
got out, fearing a collision. He then saw 100m away, in a field to
the right of the road, a brilliant sphere 12-14m diameter, the upper
part larger than the lower, hovering just above the ground. From the
bottom came a solid beam of light, while from each side of the top
came vibrating helices, and the top of the sphere also seemed to
vibrate. Unnerved, he stepped back a few metres, without daring to
re-enter his truck. Then an opening about 2m tall appeared in the
upper part of the sphere and three figures in aluminium diving suits
appeared, framed in the opening. They appeared to be giant robots,
the same height as the door, moving in an unsubtle automatic fashion,
as they descended rapidly from the machine. Jean then saw that they
had small legs, telescopic arms, which reminded him of fishing rods,
and vaguely square shaped heads. They moved a short distance from the
sphere in jumps, like mechanical toys, waggling their arms. After 10
minutes, during which Jean was very afraid of being detected, the
beings re-entered their object, the door closing behind them. All the
lights went out, apart from the top level of the sphere, which
remained a blinding white. The object then took off at dizzying
speed. Jean notified the police when he got home. On that evening the
farmer in whose field the object had landed reported that his TV
screen went black a few times, at about the time of the landing,
though other farmers at the far end of the field reported no such
interference on their sets. </span><br />

sound, and the violent shaking of the vehicle. When he looked out of
the window he saw, a few metres away, a luminous egg shaped object 1m
high, the upper part of which was glowing green, the lower part red.
As he watched, the object took off on a spiral trajectory, emitting a
strident whine, which grew louder as the object ascended to 15m,
where it stopped, hovered, and suddenly disappeared. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">As Masseron went out to
investigate, he heard a screeching voice like that on a
walkie-talkie, which appeared to be trying to give him a message, but
all he could remember was LPX LPX. He was then attracted by a
movement to the left and turned to see the silhouette of a man like
creature quietly crossing the road diagonally. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Two trailers away Mrs
Zamora was awakened by a voice asking “What shall I do?” and
another answering “Do as I do” and when she went to the window
she also heard LPX and saw a circular object rising, falling and
pitching. By the time her husband had gone to the door, the object
had gone, but the voice calling out the letters was still audible.
Later that night investigation showed that strange footprints in the

size of the waning moon but was much brighter, too bright to look at
for a prolonged period, and had hazy edges. As it passed close to the
moon’s position on its southward journey Betty saw vapour rising
from its top. The horses in the field next to her home were more than
usually restless. Betty was scared, and ran to her neighbour, Helen
Counts, watching the thing descend to the south for three minutes,
eventually landing in some rolling fields 800m to the south. The
actual object was now no longer visible, but the light began to
pulsate at 5 second intervals. As the women talked, Helen saw a
shower of lights like sparklers, followed by s blast like a shotgun.
This explosion was heard and seen by a number of other residents.
Fearing a plane crash, Helen called the sheriff’s department and a
rescue operation was mounted but no traces were found. Military

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">At their farm home, 19km
west of Fairfield, a farmer, his wife, brother and two sons (13, 15)
and daughter observed strange lights in a field. One of the boys had
drawn their attention to these lights, which appeared to be moving
behind trees about 900m down the road, apparently repeatedly landing
and taking off in the field. They observed them through field glasses
for 20 minutes, before they saw two red flashing lights on the road.
Thinking this was the highway patrol come to investigate the strange
lights, the farmer and his two sons went in their pickup to join
them. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">As the group approached
them, the red lights took off from the highway, still flashing,
towards the field where the original lights had been seen. When they
got within perhaps 500m of these, they saw they were on a rectangular
object, which made them think of a two story hotel. There were two
rows of lights or windows, about 1. 5=1. 8m high, 60-90cm wide. This
thing was surrounded by other lights that manoeuvred around it,
dimming and brightening. </span></span><br />

1. 2mn high, with what appeared to be portholes, the rims of which
were emitting the very bright light. The car was now stopped and
Jean, very frightened, hid his face in his hands to keep out the

2m tall approached them with gestures. The couple got out of the car,
and Bianca had the sensation was moving beneath her, and she felt as
though she was intoxicated. The beings, who spoke in an
incomprehensible language, took them up stairs into a large room full
of instruments. There they were given headsets, one of the beings
also donning on, and they heard a voice in Portuguese, saying she was
Karen and telling them to calm down. Bianca was given a medical in
which her ears, eyes and skin were all examined, and put in a sort of
box, where she was stunned by a sort of electric shock. When she
recovered she was in something that moulded to the shape of her body.
Both were given a green liquid to drink, which had an unpleasant
taste like a mixture of sugar and iodine. More beings appeared,
including a tall, brunette woman with “clear eyes”. “Karen”
told them that the strangers came from a world which had done away
with old age and death, and to be doing medical research. They warned
them not to talk, and offered to erase their memories, but the couple
declined. Bianca was given a devise said to measure brain waves and
through which she was continuing to communicate with “Karen”. </span><br />

Barnes) (17) was returning home from work when she became aware of a
red light, like the rear light of a car, over Rumsworth Lodge
Reservoir. After a few seconds it streaked towards her at about 1.
5km/</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">second and hovered low over the rooftops just ahead of her. She
could now see that it was an octagonal shaped object, with a rounded
underside and one dim red and one vivid amber light, which appeared
to be shining from inside the object. These illuminated a metallic
structure 6-7. 5m wide. The amber light was steady, the amber light
was flashing and there was a diffuse white glow around the thing’s
rim, which disappeared as it tattled away at an angle and began
rapidly spinning on its axis. Shelley heard no sound, though the
object was only a few metres away. As it began to spin Shelley felt a
peculiar grinding sensation in her lower tenth and, becoming
absolutely terrified, fled from the scene, leaving the object still
there. The observation lasted about 10 seconds. .She later suffered
from damage to her dental fillings, burns on her arm and side, a
purple rash on her arm and shoulder and nausea. The family were later
visited by two strange 'investigators'. Some years later under
hypnotic regression she recalled being on a bed in a strange place
with a tall blond woman standing over her, pouring information into
her head. </span></span><br />

edge of which, multi-coloured lights were rotating. When the object
came closer he was afraid hit was trying to catch them, and, finding
himself unable to turn on the narrow road, began backing his car away
from it. After travelling about 1. 5km he was able to turn round. By
this time the object was 3m off the ground, 100m away. As he turned
the car around, the object moved off and was lost to sight behind
trees in a small valley. He drove his family home and set off in a
truck to search the back roads. On returning to the valley he saw a
bright light rise swiftly and disappear from view. </span><br />

and his middle aged female cousin) were going to attend to the
irrigation pump when, at a point 5km from Dargo, they observed what
they thought was a shooter’s spotlight. As they drove closer they
found that it was a brightly luminous object, floating in the air
alongside the road, which as they drew level began to pace them at
70kph. For a 1. 6km stretch, where the road ran through a deep
cutting, they lost sight of the object, but it reappeared over the
paddock by the side of the hill when they turned off the main road It
reached the top of the hill before them and hovered above a gateway
in the fence that boarded the track. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">As the pair passed the
thing, they saw it was about 2m in diameter, the colour of the full
moon and had two horizontal projections, one on each side and two
similar projections at 45 degrees from the vertical, on the
underside. As they continued along the downhill stretch at 65-70kph,
the object emitted a bright glare that lit up the area like day and
kept pace with above the trees on the about 10m high right hand side
bank. It followed them in this fashion until they reached and turned
off the pump. At this point they became afraid that the object was
closing in on them and drove out of the paddock as fast as possible.
When they joined the highway, the object gave off another intense
flash. After another car passed they were no longer able to see the
object. </span></span><br />

Sands (30) was driving on the Blue Diamond Road when he saw an
unusual aircraft. He did not pay much attention to it as it paced his
car for 5km. At this point his engine began to malfunction, so he
pulled off the road and got out to see what was wrong. As he was
checking the car, he saw the object “like a Goodyear Blimp”, 18m
long, with a large circular ring mid section, hovering 300m above
him. It also had circular windows about 3m diameter, 1. 5m apart. The
object was rusty-red in colour, with flashing red and white lights on
the end. It moved slowly over the mountain to the south, lighting up
the mountains and appearing to land. Sands turned back to his car,
then turned and looked up the road in the direction of his headlights
and saw two figures approaching. He first feared they may be muggers,
but as they got within 1 and 1. 5m respectively, he saw they were
perfectly bald beings with neither eyebrows not eyelashes, who had
gill like protrusions, which moved rapidly all the time they stood
there, on either side of their faces. They had small, black, deep set
eyes with very white pupils. Their small mouths never opened and they
had flat pug noses. After 10 minutes they walked away into the
desert. After they had gone 45-60m they disappeared in a flash of
light. During the 10 minutes the beings were with Sands, they asked
him several questions about earth life and warned him not to talk
about the episode. They seemed to talk from their bodies and their
voices were very deep. They wore silvery overalls with a diagonal
white strap around their shoulders. They were 1. 7m or just under
tall and their faces seemed extremely old. There was a positive
polygraph test. </span><br />

and with only four digits on each hand, materialised in the room. The
beings appeared worried, showed him a “U” shaped piece of plastic
tubing and then invited him on board their craft. He was instructed
to lie still on the bed, and felt himself become paralysed and then
floating in space, and entered an object shaped like an inverted
bathtub, which seemed to have a pulsating fluorescent glow. he next
remembered being on a table in a large room, in an anaesthetised
state, scarcely aware of his surroundings. Eight beings were around
him in pairs and he was examined by an eye like structure, which was
of red purple colour. His questions received brusque replies. He next
found himself back in bed with the beings by his side of the bed.
When they vanished a tingling sensation ceased. It appears that his
wife was in the room at the time and noticed none of this. He later

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A school teacher and
former member of Naval Intelligence was driving along the deserted
Old Point Road when he heard a hissing sound, and a luminous object,
with an amber blue metallic appearance came down to 150m above his
car. He first thought that it was a helicopter but it made no sound.
The thing matched his speed, swung back and forth like a pendulum,
rising and falling. It rose up to 300m, stopped and projected a beam
of silvery light in all directions. The light and the object itself
seemed covered by some sort of hazy substance. The object finally
shot off over the Merrimack Bay area. </span><br />

his homework in his trailer home noticed a bright white light through
the window and alerted his mother. She first thought it was an
aeroplane, but when it did not move, they went to the door to look
closer and saw that it was disc shaped object, with a ring of bright
white lights around its centre, with red and green lights above it,
hovering over trees about 200m away. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">As they watched the thing
tipped on edge and descended towards the field, its lights going out.
Seconds later it rose again, lit up again. The frightened family ran
to a friend’s house, about 3 minutes away. Their children and
parents joined them to see the object about 800m away. They watched
it for some time, as it manoeuvred about, before the lights went out
and it moved off. No traces were found. </span></span><br />

Sandra Malfonado was driving home on the Vosenkill Road, north of
Catskill, when, as she was going up a small rise, she saw a flashing
red light directly ahead, which she thought was an aircraft in
trouble, and then a helicopter. As she came up close she that it was
an object that was as wide as the 7. 5m wide road, hovering just
above the telephone poles and trees. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">It was a domed object,
surmounted by a tall mast like structure made of pylons, at the top
of which was a sort of square box, with transparent sides, in which a
red light revolved. This changed into a soft white light that
illuminated the metal hull of the main object, which was shaped like
an inverted bowl over a plate, the only external features of which
were two intricately designed concentric circles. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">By now very frightened,
Sandra accelerated away, going under the object to reach her home
3-4km away. The object followed her, illuminating the area. Just
before Sandra reached her driveway the light seemed to go out. She
ran into the house but was unable to wake her husband. Through the
window she watched the object drifting up and down Vosenkill Road for
30 minutes, its light going out when an aircraft approached and
coming on again when it had passed. The object then drifted out of
sight, apparently settling in a swampy area. </span></span><br />

hanging stationary about 1m from the ground, a cigar shaped object
about 30m long. They drove within 100m of this object, at which the
cycle engine cut out. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">The two men could see a
row of about 20 windows along the length of the object, lit by an
intense vivid red light, which made it impossible to tell their exact
shape. The duo managed to turn around and drove back to Olivares at
high speed. When they had gone about a kilometre, Ignacio saw
something in his driving mirror and then Francisco looked around and
saw a vivid white light almost overhead, which continued to pursue
them for 4-5km, until they were about 2km from Olivares. They were in
a state of great panic when they reached the town. Both men were

then went up and then out like a light being switched off. </span><br />

first thought that the light was from an industrial plant, but they
now saw a glow behind them and another object about 2-2. 5m above the
first and then two more appeared on the spot in front of them, like a

out to the highway and came within 60-90m. There were no five objects
coming towards the car, so that the now frightened women drove off at
a speed of up to 130kph, at which speed the lights overtook them.
When Charlotte tried to use her CB radio, she was unable to hear
anything at all, not even static. The objects continued to pace the

the objects just disappeared. Both women were highly regarded by

bent over, although he kept to the darker sections of the park. The

the driveway in the front of the building. The next evening, at the

searching the ground in the darkest section of the park. The next

child when he looked out of his window to the east and saw what he
thought was an aircraft coming down at a 45 degree angle. He could
see a white beam from an edge like a landing light. He watched for a
couple of minutes, then fearing an aircraft accident, went to see if
he could be of assistance. The object came down behind a sporting
oval opposite his house. The witness crossed the oval and climbed the
bank, where saw, about 25m down the other side of the Little Oyster
Creek Bank, a dome shaped object emitting a bright yellow-white
light, through three or four windows, and heard a hum like that of an
electric motor. This hum increased in volume as the object took off
to the east, gaining elevation slowly, and then accelerating away at
60 degrees angle, receding to a point source and then disappearing.
The object was dome shaped, with ribbing from the top, and around the
base was a small ledge that had a short vertical side. Through the
windows he saw a tall cylindrical object that reminded him of a
ship’s compass mounting, and motionless grey shapes that vaguely
resembled car seats with head rests. The next day the witness
returned to the site and found that the rough grass beyond the oval
had been scorched in a circular area. This grass later died and was
replaced by a “tougher cutting grass”. When investigated in April
1977 this grass was much greener than the surrounding vegetation.
Thermoluminescent analysis of the soil showed that it had neither
been exposed to excess heat or radiation. </span></span><br />

above the road, with the edge closest to her directly above the
centre lane. The thing’s surface was smooth but not shiny and was
neither especially light nor dark. Around the thing were small hooded
lights, which directed low intensity yellow beams downwards. The
upper portion of the object was encircled by a silvery metallic rim,
the underside was almost flat with black markings on the edge nearest
Jane, but the rest of the underside was hidden either by the darkness
or a tilt. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">From the outer portions of
the underside, four evenly spaced legs, 1. 5-1. 65m long, 5 x 10cm in
cross-section extended vertically downwards. On the end of each leg
was a horizontal foot, with the same cross-section and 37cm long. The
disc was surmounted by a dome, divided into distinct sections by dark
bounding, these sections glowed yellow and gave the impression of
being translucent, but Jane was unable to see the inside. The surface
appeared to be made out of beaded glass, like that found on bathroom
windows. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">On the left hand side of
the dome was a steady red light, about 50cm in diameter. None of the
lights was sufficiently bright to illuminate the area. Jane heard no
sound and during the observation, which lasted about 2 minutes, she
became increasing afraid and finally drove away in panic. When she
arrived home at 2200hrs. , she was crying and shaking so much that
her husband thought there had been an accident. Jane awoke, afraid,
several times in the night and reported the sighting to the police
and was still extremely nervous when the investigator arrived three
days later. </span></span><br />

after about 15 seconds when a sudden mist arose from a small square.
Gerard thought perhaps his glasses had got dirty but then realised
this was a real fog patch continuing to rise about 15m away in a
curved trajectory up the mountain. He leaned out fo the car for a
better look and saw the fog patch going off towards the river valley.
The car now worked perfectly. The fog patch was about 5m wide, 2m
high and had the trembling appearance of the air on a hot road. It
was a greyish and had a metallic reflection. Gerard could not tell
whether it was opaque or transparent owing to it only being visible

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Burton Woods (45) an
employee of the Piper Aircraft Corporation and a deputy in the County
Waterways Patrol, was awakened by a loud humming sound. He ran to the
porch of his mobile home and saw a huge teardrop shaped object,
45-60m long and about 18m wide, gliding along at treetop level. It
resembled a blimp with a dull metallic finish, with no openings or
seams, and with a green glowing panel, 15m long, 6m wide, on the
underside. One end of the object was flat, the other tapered. The
sound, which resembled twirling rope, seemed to come from the top of
the object. The tops of the trees appeared to be vibrating but there
did not appear to be any downward force. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">As it hovered at 20m
altitude, Woods ran and grabbed his camera, taking two photographs as
the object rose to 120m and departed over the trees. The observation
lasted 5 minutes. He did not awaken other members of the household.
The photos, taken on an instamatic, turned out blank. Woods suffered
from headaches, irritation of the eyes and fatigue for some days
after the incident. </span></span><br />

home when they observed strange lights about 50m from the summit of
500m high hill to their front and west. They first thought that they
were truck lights, but they appeared too large. The lights would
disappeared and then reappear a great distance away. Sometimes only a
single red light was seen, at other times two orange lights. They
continued with this performance, moving faster than a truck or
tractor for 15 minutes. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">The lights, which had the
apparent diameter of a pea at arm’s length, then converted into a
single large sphere, the angular diameter of the sun. It appeared and
disappeared, first yellow and then red. The thing seemed to descend
and then two small lights appeared, zigzagging at ground level. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">One of the children, an 11
year old girl, at a separate location from the others, observed the
light land near the Teleajen River and then take off 5 minutes later,
leaving a long smoke trail. The children reported the matter to their
teacher, Balan Christian, who investigated the site and found a
strange mark. He later suffered from a painful red swelling on the
palm and fingers of his right hand and from headaches, after
collecting a sample. An investigator found a round track of burnt
grass 5cm wide, where dead grass had been burnt, as had the tops of
the live grass. There was an extremely unpleasant odour about the
burnt grass. The site marked glass films after 45 minutes, suggesting
radio-activity. </span></span><br />

and return again, this happened several times. Frank ran back to the
ranch but as he did so he saw someone on a hillside flashing a light
at him. Thinking it was friends, Frank ran towards the figure but
when he got within 30m he realised that his friends were driving back
to the ranch in the distance and that the figure was stood next to a
sphere in which there was an opening, though which he could see a
soft light. The figure was also glowing. Now afraid Frank began to
run away but found himself paralysed. Suddenly the object was gone
and Frank found himself 2. 5km away with the camera in his hand. As
he walked back he had flashes of memory of being inside the sphere
and looking out through a window, with short beings with large bald
heads with almond shaped eyes and no visible ears. </span><br />

and Peter and Linda followed to the home of another friend, David

hemispherical object about 10m diameter, 4m thick, with a row of
small windows two third of the way up, from which came lights of
different colours, which brightened, dimmed and brighterned agai. ,
The thing then landed and its lights went out. The object then took
off and landed again at Aspen Air Force Base, from where it took off
with a rumbling sound. At the Roman place it was independently
observed by Doris People and her 23 year old daughter, who were

resumed her viewing. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">When she causally glanced

lights were still hanging motionless in the same place. Ruth turned

of the house, she encountered four distinct ovals, the red colour of
fiery coals, which appeared to be on an object, which she was unable
to distinguish in the dark, hovering 15m above the marsh. Unnerved,
she returned to the house, and continued to observe through the
window. The lights changed simultaneously from red to white. She left
off her watch in order to answer the phone and when she returned
moments later the object had left without trace. </span></span><br />

have been unusual as this past his parents’ bed time. He then
realised this light was not in the house but was moving slowly
towards the trees, lighting up the countryside as it did so. It was
heading slowly, regularly and diagonally towards the west. Edmund

guessed the thing was 3m high, 1m wide. Neighbouring dogs were
barking, though the house dogs were quiet. Edmund went to bed without

Island, who wished to remain anonymous, was parked at a deserted
coastal spot near Whistler Point, waiting to shoot the ducks along
the shore at first light. After being parked for 10 minutes he
noticed what looked like a headlight moving across the brow of a hill
800m to the west, in a spot where the terrain would not permit free
movement. There was no sound and he gained the impression that some
sort of object was behind the light. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">When the light began to
move towards him, he saw that it was on a cross shaped object, the
size of, or smaller than, a light aircraft. It was travelling nose
down, following the terrain. As it approached the thing projected an
inverted cone of bright orange light downwards at an angle from its
front. This cone was defined by brighter shafts at its extremities
and front centre, interspersed by broken dimmer shafts. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Fearing that the object
was being attracted by his car, the shooter went to the other side of
the small hill to watch the object’s approach. At its nearest
approach, the cone appeared to be 30m across and 60m from its base to
its source. The object continued its forward approach for a minute or
less and then reversed, moving back along the direction from whence
it had come, disappearing into the skyline. The hunter remained at
the spot until dawn but was too unnerved to do any shooting. </span></span><br />

whistling noise and then saw outside, a large black sphere, with a
periphery of white light, some 9-12m across, which approached and
stopped by a fence. Her mother then noticed an orange cloud effect
and then the object, which vanished. Then, with two other witnesses,
they saw a pulsating ball of orange light, receding north-east,
trailing white vapour. An area of long grass, 30m x 13. 5m, in a
nearby paddock was swept in an outside direction, and four marks,
which looked as if they had been made by plate size pods, were
noticed. </span><br />

He got out, fearing a light aircraft had crashed but was unable to

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">George W Wheeler (71) a
police officer for some 30 years, and relief police officer for
Elmwood, noticed an orange glow on top of Tuttle Hill, east of
Elmwood. Suspecting a fire he drove up to investigate. When he
reached the top, he saw, 150m away and 30m above the ground, between
a limestone quarry and a farmhouse an object with six windows that
emitted blue –white light, through which he could see shadows as if
someone were moving about inside. In the middle of the side facing
him was a sort of open panel in which a mechanism with finlike parts
was revolving slowly. These lights and panel were on a band in the
centre of a flattened oval 75m long, the height of a two story
building, portholes being on either side of this panel. The object
itself was rounded top and bottom, the rounded areas being of a
silvery colour. The object was surmounted by a dome giving off an
orange-white light. Between the mid-section and the dome were two
raised knobs and a third knob was located beneath the panel. From the
main body of the thing, projections like legs or landing gear were
extended, and a long black hose extended down at a slight angle from
the middle of the underside, the end of which was obscured by trees. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">George carefully observed
the object and radioed the sheriff’s department at Elmwood
describing what was happening. After 45 seconds he was startled to
see the object beginning to rise up at very high speed. At the same
time there was a bluish flash and his car lights, radio and engine
went dead and there was a whooshing sound. At that point George lost
consciousness and he next remembered being asked if he needed help by
dairy farmer David Moots, who had been concerned to see the patrol
car stopped, blocking one lane and feared that George had suffered a
heart attack. David was followed on the scene by the police chief and
Mrs Wheeler. George had called out over the radio that he had been
hit. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">When George had first
mentioned the object, Mrs Wheeler had called Paul Frederickson, the
administrator of the Elmwood Nursing Home, whose porch overlooked the
hill to go and look at the hill. He saw hemispherical orange light.
He went back to the phone and then roused his wife, but when they
went back to the porch the light had gone. A local resident reported
that her TV had gone out at that time and two children said that when
they returned home, the dogs didn’t greet them, but sat barking for
a long time. The incident was also observed by a Mrs Wergland, whose
TV also went off. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">George suffered from
prolonged severe headaches and nightmares and later developed
complete amnesia about the incident. The car’s spark plugs and
points were burned completely out. </span></span><br />

when the set failed, giving only the sound of static, and white dots

Mrs K went out to investigate and found a solid white “cloud”
with sharp edges on or just above the ground in her yard, behind a
tree, lit up by a street light. The general weather was clear and
starry. The cloud then moved towards her, at the same time as
neighbours dogs began barking. The thing went overhead, at which she
felt giddy and then it began raining and a 12m tree bent as if caught
by a terrific wind, though Mrs K felt none. The cloud then dispersed
and she saw steady red and green lights moving soundlessly to the
north. Then she could only see the red light, which was hovering,
over the hill from whence the cloud had come. Later the area where it
had hovered showed abnormally fast growth of grass and weeds. </span><br />

Noel were driving to Milwaukee along county road M when they had to
slow for deer crossing the road. Dagmar had just started to speed up
again, when she was again forced to slow by a strange looking car,
coloured a sort of faded blue white, which seemed to suddenly appear
in the road ahead. From this thing came a slender person, about 1.
65m tall, dressed in a jump suite, who raced 60m down the road,
turned and ran back again. The couple then saw 60m behind the “car”
a dark red hemispherical object that straggled the road. They noticed
dark markings on this, and it was a sort of haze around it. Both
objects then just vanished. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Butcher, Dominique Menuge
(20 or 21) was driving his car at the cross roads, turning on to the
L’Etang road, when he caught sight of about fifty little men
standing in a field to his left quite close to the road, in the beam
of his sidelight. They were erect, green and frog like, the green
either being their skin or very tight fitting suits. Their hands and
feet were webbed, their heads were frog like, and appeared to be
covered in masks or helmets which revealed two large red eyes, 10cm
or so in diameter, which resembled traffic lights. They were about 1.
15m tall, and fairly corpulent. The beings stood perfectly still,
some facing him, some in profile. They had nothing in their hands.
Frightened, Menuge backed off, and as he did so, he saw another,
identical, little man in the bushes 3-4m away. He arrived home very
shaken and had a bad night. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A middle aged lady, Mrs
Kent, was taking a pair of tights to her daughter who lived close by,
before going to work. As she passed a grassed over slag heap, 23m
high, she noticed a spherical object partly obscured by the side of
the hill. The sphere was perfectly smooth, and was of a silvery
colour, like metal reflecting the sun. From the centre of the object
a beam of light pored down the road. To the left of the sphere was a
small figure (though apparently taller than the sphere), standing
perfectly still, like a statue. The figure resembled a mannequin,
dressed all over in silver, with a cloak that had pointed lapels at
the top, broad sleeves, and a pointed hat. Its arms hung down by its
side. Owing to the glare from the rising sun, reflected on his suit,
Mrs Kent was unable to make out any facial features. When she
returned from her daughter’s five minutes later, the figure was
still there and she was sufficiently unnerved that she went home on a
different route. When she passed the hill again at 0640hrs. on her
way to the bus to work, the figure had gone. No definite traces were
found, as the grass had been recently cut. Mrs Kent thought the
sphere was about the size of a room. </span></span><br />

the brilliance, he was plunged into darkness. As his sight cleared he
saw a huge panel 3-4m, shaped like a horseshoe on which there were
instruments like clocks without numbers. There were also weird
flowery designs in violet and yellow. Nestor then felt as though some
sort of helmet with several cables attached was being put on his
head. Voices poke to him but he would not reveal what they said out
of concern for his wife and children. When he arrived at work he was
suffering from extreme anxiety. He continued to suffer from attacks
of depersonalisation, fatigue and cramps in the early hours. </span><br />

he saw two lights moving slowly in a slightly oblique straight line
at about 150m altitude. Both were orange, one was a cigar shape with
pointed ends, flashing orange lights, the other was a disc. These
lights then went out. When Edmund reached his courtyard he saw two
lights at or near the ground by the farm of his neighbour Mr
Pietribiasi, about 200m away. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Edmund then called his
brother Thade and his father, both of whom came to the doorway. His
mother was afraid and asked them not to approach any further, so they
stayed in the doorway and watched the lights, which appeared to be
over a meadow in front of Mr P’s sheepfold. The disc appeared to
rotate and give off orange flashes, but the cigar just directly over
the disc and projected a whitish beam that illuminated portions of
the woods like day. This beam, which seemed to be directed at a
fountain below it, unlike headlights appeared to narrow as it
continued. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">These things then just
went 15m down the roads and then went out , without a sound so Edmund
rushed back into the yard to join his father and brother. The two
brothers then watched for about an hour but the thing did not come
back. Mr p.later found parallel lines 2m long and 2cm deep near the
site. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A 17 year old unemployed
youth was listening to the radio when the set began to develop
static, and the family Alsatian dog started barking. he went to the
porch to see what was the matter with the dog, when, through a window
looking onto the back lawn, he saw, about 10m away, a humanoid
looking figure 1. 65-1. 75m tall, with normal arm and leg
proportions, dressed in a silvery one-piece suit and white boots,
with a visor like object over its head. Strapped to its chest was a
box 30cm square on which was a symbol like a vertical figure “8”.
As the youth walked towards the back door, still indoors, the figure
bent down and patted the dog. The dog, on seeing its master
approaching, barked, whereupon the figure looked up, said something
to the dog in a garbled language and moved towards the youth, who
immediately fled back inside. The figure then took to the air, though
the witness could see no sign of propulsion, and entered a cigar
shaped object, which had been hovering over a line of nearby trees.
Three days later the boy’s mother found some yellowish indentations
in the lawn that resembled footprints, which disappeared in a week or
two. Nothing remained of these traces at the time of the
investigation several months later. </span><br />

Giuliana) (20), a town hall employee at Hostum, where she lived with
farming parents, was returning to Hostum from Romans, after going to
the pictures at Valence. Just after she crossed the bridge at a place
called “Le Martinet” her car began to lose speed. She got out,
examined the tank, then contemned her journey. The engine kept
failing, then stopped, and her headlights went out. 15m in front of
her car, she saw a strange luminous orange mass standing on the road.
She was afraid it would kill her and covered her eyes. When she dared
look again the object had gone. Terrified, she drove home, but had to
go the long route, because she had missed her turning. This route
would normally have taken 30 minutes, but when she arrived home it
was 0400hrs. .Under hypnosis she recalled two dwarfs opening the
car’s left hand door and carrying her toward a light. She entered
the craft through an iron door. The dwarfs came up to her waist and
were dressed in dark overalls, had big eyes and were “sickly
looking”. She was taken into a high, round room, where there were
white, red and yellow lights and where everything was made of iron,
They put her on a table, strapping her hands and feet, and put a sort
of napkin on her forehead. One of the dwarfs traced circles on her
sweater with a device that resembled an electric light. She then
found herself outside the machine, which had three legs and was 3m
long. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Prison guard Dennis
Craigen (28) and his girlfriend were out driving when he saw a light,
the size of a car, descend behind some trees ahead and to the side of
the road. When Dennis drove past he could not see anything. As he
approached his house another light materialised, flew towards his
car, abruptly turned and went back towards his house. A third light
suddenly appeared in the air, like a light being turned on, and moved
towards the second light, both hovering over his house. Dennis and
the girl watched these lights for a few minutes before he turned
around and headed for the OPP detachment in Newburgh. As he drove he
saw a fourth light heading south at 60m altitude, at a speed of about
80kph. The lights were spherical, red and changed direction in one
quick movement. They ascended and descended silently at speeds from
50-95kph, getting more brilliant as they rose and dimmer as they
descended. </span><br />

emerged from behind a hedge and rose over the car. The thing was
dark, silent, about 9m in diameter, with numerous lights alongside
the underside perimeter. These orange lights were not even bright
enough to illuminate its underside properly, but they did give off a
faint orange luminosity. The observation lasted less than 10 seconds.

which the car stalled, and landed in a pasture. There the couple saw
lights moving about. Mr Baker, a volunteer fireman and St John’s

they drove off when the car could be restarted. Later Mr Baker went

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Dr Francisco-Julio Padre
Leon, the town doctor of Guia was a passenger in a tax driven by
Francisco Estevez, along with Santiago del Pino, who had called for
him, to make urgent visit to the latter’s mother. As they rounded a
bend, they saw about 60m from them a perfect sphere marked by a very
beautiful grey-blue periphery. The radio suddenly cut out and the
driver and his passengers felt an extreme cold. The surface of the
sphere, which was hanging 2m above the ground not more than 50m away,
was transparent like a soap bubble, so that they could see the stars
through it. Inside the sphere, which was the diameter of a two story
house, they could see a sort of silver coloured platform on which
were some rounded panels and two figures. These figures were 2. 8-3m
tall, wearing black divers helmets and tight fitting clothing made of
a peculiar shade of red. Their hands appeared encased in large,
black, conical gloves. They were facing each other, in profile to the
witnesses, operating levers with their hands. The back part of their
heads seemed disproportionately large. When, after about 20 minutes,
the driver switched on his large spotlight, the sphere began to rise,
until it was level with the roof of a nearby house. The trio then saw
a transparent tube inside the sphere , from which a bluish gas was
emerging and surrounding the sphere, which expanded until it was the
size of a twenty story building. The beings, platform and panels all
retained their original size. The terrified party then turned around
and drove to one of the nearby houses, where they sought refuge.
Their hosts said their TV had just blacked out. Now joined by the
occupants of the house, they went to the window to continue watching
the sphere. The gas inside the sphere had now stopped moving and its
diameter had stabilised. The object then gave off a high pitched
whistle and shot away towards Tenerife, changing into a spindle
shape, surrounded by a large vivid white halo as it did so. Only
minutes before the sighting the crew of the corvette “Atrevida”
off the South East coast of Fuerteventu observed an object which
ejected a vivid yellow-blue halo before splitting in two, the upper
part streaking away. The object was seen all over the Canary Islands
, and in the southern part of Gran Canaria a civilian took 36
photographs of s great Saturn shaped object. There was an official
enquiry. </span><br />

was cutting grass on the practice fairway when a grey object 15m
high, flashing red and green lights, and with a golden band around
the centre and three spheres on its underside, landed, and three
figures emerged. They went under the object and the witness heard
banging. The figures then returned to the object, which took off.
Three circular depressions were left in the fairway. </span><br />

saw an unusual luminosity in the west south west sky. The light came
from an orange-red object with a flat underside, which came down
to10m above the ground, 120-150 away from Claude, who got out his

down Coed-On road, when, as he passed a gate, he saw something
strange in the field. Climbing on the gate, he saw it was a huge
silvery dome shaped machine resting on four small legs. Around the
object were oblong windows, curving round the edge. Leading from the
object were a steps down which a group of beings about 1. 55m tall,
with round heads, large pointed ears and large circular eyes,
descended. They wore silvery suits and their hands and feet seemed
claw like. When a barking dog ran up to them, one of the beings
pointed a long object with buttons on it, at the animal, then lowered
it. The beings conversed amongst themselves making sounds like birds
chirping. They seemed to see the boy and one of the beings turned his
“gun” towards the hedge. A red ray emerged with a hissing sound,
and inside this ray was a bell shaped thing that fell to the earth
after travelling 6m. When the ray struck it, the hedge turned black
without smouldering or burning. As the lad jumped down from the gate,
the beings chirped again and hurried back into the object. The steps
were retracted and the object shot away. The next the boy found a
large number of three toed footprints in the sand. </span></span><br />

gardener James Watt from Bonnyrigg, Midlothian was on holiday in the
mountains with his wife and children. On this quiet still night they
saw what they thought were the lights of a plane coming from the
coast. As the thing got closer, they saw it was a large round object,
which emitted a yellow light. It seed to float silently away across a
valley. In direct line of where the object was going, two furrows
were found in a valley in Nice, 40km away. </span></span><br />

Gilpin, his wife, 8 year old son and baby were driving home in their
pickup truck when their attention was drawn to something hovering
above the road. They stopped the truck and were unnerved to see that
the thing was a disc shaped object about 25m in diameter. As they
watched the object approached until it was hovering less than 10m
above the truck. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Frightened,
they now tried to back away, but the truck began swaying all over the
road. Finally Charles managed to turn it around and began to drive
away. Though the speedometer read 135kph, judging by the slow passage
of the scenery (and by a subsequent test drive over the spot), he was
sure that he was going no more than 25kph, and they felt that the
object was pulling them back in some way. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">After they
had gone 400m the object overtook the truck, Charles’s arms were
sore from holding onto the steering wheel. They had now reached the
drive of their farmhouse and the object seemed to let go of the
truck, which leapt forward. Mrs Gilpin and the children ran into the
farmhouse, where the object moved over the rooftop, so close that
they could hear a humming sound and feel a breeze coming off it.
Meanwhile Charles felt frozen into his truck and unable to join his
family. When the object moved away, the family restarted their
journey. Nearing gravel Switch they saw 18 people standing outdoors
and watching the object as it moved across the farmlands at low level
and disappeared into the distance. </span></span><br />

walking down Coed-on Road, a quiet lane, when he noticed something
silvery in a field and went to investigate. In the field was an
elongated silver oblong with a tailpiece, resting on four tall legs
and surmounted by a dome, the surface of which seemed to be composed
of numerous tiny square windows. This was topped by a kind of
periscope and a coloured cross in the centre of the dome. On the
silver oblong was a central line of black writing, and on the edge
opposite to that with the tail fin, a row of small windows. From the
object to the ground there were 5-6 wires, attached to blue bulbs on
pole about 1m high. About 5-6 men were walking about in a peculiar
fashion as if they were crippled. They appeared to be angry, and
carried objects that resembled guns, on which there were masses of
buttons, including a blue one, which when released produced a red
ray. The beings appeared to be trying to destroy the bulbs, and were
jumping up and down in their frustration at not being able to do so.
These beings were 1. 45m tall, generally human in appearance, but
with angular bodies and only wisps of hair. They wore silver tops and
green trousers. Eventually first one, then the others, smashed the
bulbs with the buts of their guns and appeared “overjoyed”. A
central ramp then came down from the object and a creature with a
green body and a red neck emerged, but one of the men ordered in back
with a growl. Then a more human like figure with a pink face and much
hair, wearing a white tee shirt, appeared inside the dome, apparently
having difficulty manipulating the controls. He looked at picture on
the wall then went behind it. Inside the object everything appeared
smaller, then entities to be only 1m tall, but growing when they
emerged. When the men looked the other way the boy fled. That night
he saw the object take off, the cross illuminated. The investigators
felt the boy may have being trying to upstage his sister (qv)</span></span></div>

low that it obscured trees and buildings pm the waste ground. When

its progress. It seemed to follow the railway line, then flipped on
its edge, becoming circular and rose slightly above the horizon. It
then changed back into a disc and hovered over a new factory, before
diminishing to a dot and then growing in size again. She called her 5

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">G. S., the nine year old
sister of the previous witness was riding her bicycle along a
different part of Coed-on Road to her brother on this hot sunny day.
She was descending a hill when a glint of silver caught her eye and
she dismounted from her bike and peered through a gap in the hedge,
In a field she saw an object like a silvery cigar about 10m long, 3m
high, with a narrow rim around the base, and on top, a sort of dull
red box. Along the side of the object were three rectangular windows,
with a fourth just visible around the right hand edge. They were
composed of various shades of yellow blending into one another.
Thinking she was seeing something from a carnival, she carried on
watching the object, which was only about 20m in front of her. As she
did so, she saw a shadow pass the window. As she late flat on the
ground, she saw a strange man, whose appearance made her realise she
was seeing something very unusual, emerge from around the side of the
object. He was 1. 65m tall, very thin and angular. He walked jerkily
in side steps, and his knee joints were three quarters of the way up
his leg; his elbows were also pointed. His face was long, thin and
very pale, and as he came closer, she was struck with his very large
round eyes, which were white, with just a pink dot in the middle. His
nose was squat and flat, his mouth just a slit with many white teeth.
He had only a few sandy wisps of hair. On his hands were three
pointed fingers and a wobbly thumb. He was wearing a one piece
silvery suit from neck to foot and hands, with no zips nor fasteners.
He had silvery boots with thick black soles, and a round helmet,
silvery at the rear and with a glass bubble in front, which was part
of the suit. Connected to this at the side was a transparent tube
that fitted into a white heart shaped apparatus on his back. he was
carrying an “L” shaped device, and when he pressed a button on
it, a wavy red beam descended to the ground, gouging a cup sized hoe.
He bent down stiffly to feel it, then walked around the craft, making
six holes in all, feeling each one. By now G had been watching for
some 10-15 minutes and she moved her leg slightly, at which she felt
that the entity, which was only 3m from her, had “turned his eyes
on her”. She had a sensation of cold and dizziness, and of her mind
being probed. He occasionally looked at her as he made the holes, and
each time she felt this chill. A sort of high pitched whimper came
from the craft and a banana shaped flap, which had been moulded into
the side, came down. A hand appeared and helped the man back into the
craft. he then came out again and walked around to the back. Then
another figure came from the right hand side, who G thought was a
woman about 1. 55m tall, with a long jagged knife stuck to her side.
She proceeded to scrape the knife in each of the holes, a noise was
heard, but the knife always came up clean. This woman also made G go
cold by looking at her and she seemed more hostile. After she had
been watching for about 20 minutes, there was a low pitched whimper
from the object, the woman looked towards the sun, then walked up the
ramp, while the box on top of the cigar began to pulsate deep red. G
ran off, gashed her knee, went back for her cycle and began to run
with it. As she went, she heard a faint humming sound and, looking
back, she saw a line of trees in the field trembling and smelt slight
burning. Then the cigar took off at an angle, accelerating into the
only cloud in the sky, revealing a circle of lights on its underside
as it did so. She did not tell anyone about the experience, but went
back to the field the next day with her elder brother. She found a
oval patch where the grass was tinged with silver and where the holes
had been the grass was greener and fresher. No discrepancies were
revealed by hypnotic regression. There were numerous sequela. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">January Siedlicki (65) was
startling by a bright light illuminating his room. Fearing a fire he
went to the window to investigate and saw a dark bluedisc shaped
object moving back and forth about5m off the ground, with lights
coming from its underside. He got up and went towards the thing,
which had now landed on three legs. Hiding behind a generator about
25m from the thing, January saw a brilliant white tube come below the
object and from it came two figures, about 1. 2m tall, dressed in
yellow “spacesuits” with squarish boxes on their chests, on which
were various switches. They beckoned to him to approach, waving their
arms and speaking in a foreign language. One pressed a switch and was
able to say in English that their ship was in trouble. They let
January enter through the metallic tube after them and he entered a
room bathed in light. Inside there was a smell of rotting grass. They
took January up a ramp into a blue lit room in which there was a
channel of running water, in which there were plants 60cm high. They
passed a dim room in which there were several beings dressed in brown
suits looking at something like oil on the floor, giving off sparks.
Overhead was an orange sphere moving side to side. One of the beings
told him that “we have the space bug”. He was hurried out of the
craft, by the crew, who seemed panicked. Once outside January saw the
object tilt at 45 degrees and then take off at high speed. As it went
through the clouds red flames came from its underside. There area
where it had landed was warm. </span><br />

there was a disabled vehicle. He drove to that spot where h was

illuminating the treetops and saw a figure moving toward the car.
David became aware that the figure was a robot which was
communicating with him. It picked up a gadolinium ingot package from
the car, and it floated off despite the weight of the package. The
motorist followed and came across an object about 12m diameter
standing on three legs in a clearing. Light came from the underside,
and when the witness got within 100m of the object. David felt his
hair stirring and heard a low humming noise. After 20 minutes the
being reappeared and the package was placed on the ground. The
humming sound and light increased and the object took off, hovering
and swaying slightly before in accelerated away to the north,
disappearing in a few seconds. David then continued his journey and
delivered the package for air shipment. He was later informed that
the magnetic properties of the gadolinium were unusual, and, on
analysis, a depletion of the highest isotope was found. </span><br />

were playing with a dog on a farm when they observed a being like a
robot, dressed in black trousers and a sort of red sweater. The skin
on its bare arms was yellow-green and scaly. It had no eyes nor nose,
but had blond curly hair. The dog was barking as thought it wanted to
attack the robot. The boys hid behind some bushes from where they
heard a strange sound and saw a black sphere which rolled behind some
underbrush and disappeared. Meanwhile the robot walked slowly and
stiffly away to the west. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">10 year old twins (a boy
and a girl) and another little boy were playing on the waste ground
off Longford Road West, near Reddish Vale Golf Course and Fir Tree
School. The girl went into a play hut to get herself a drink of
orange, while the boys played by the bushes. Suddenly the boys saw a
flash of silver and heard a crackling in the bushes, and looking
round, saw a human figure, wearing a silver one piece suit, with a
short grey beard and long yellow hair, emerge from within the bush,
floating about 15cm above the ground, After a few seconds the figure
just vanished. The girl in the hut, unaware of this, heard rustling
sounds, and, looking out of the window, saw a strange man, standing
behind the boys, facing her, only a metre or two away. As she looked,
the figure turned away and proceeded to dig up samples of soil, using
a small hand shovel he had taken from his belt, putting them in small
plastic bags. The girl now became frightened and called out to the
boys, upon which the figure again vanished on the spot. The children
agreed that the figure was about 1. 75m tall, with a pale complexion,
long narrow, rather slanted, eyes and wearing a sort of silvery track
suit with four or five buttons on the top of its jacket. It had
silver gloves and boots, the latter with thick black soles. Unafraid
the children again looked round and again saw him taking samples near
the school fence. After a few moments it just seemed to fade into the
ground. The children walked towards the spot and saw, slowly rising
from the school playground, a flat bottomed, gently curving disc,
with four dark markings on a shallow dome on top, and two dark marks
low down on the surface. As the object moved slowly away to the SSE
in the direction of Tennyson Road at low altitude, the children fled
home, by now very frightened. </span><br />

Then a sudden wind blew a cloud onto the scene; this cloud looked

into the room. He was blinded and pushed back against the wall and
raised about 30cm above the ground. He hung there for about 10
minutes, with bright lights flashing in front of his eyes. He then
slid to the floor, still partially paralysed. Looking through the
window, he saw the light climbing away at 45 degrees. The next day
the grass outside seemed to be flattened in a circular patch. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A small boy (aged 4-5) in
bed heard a humming sound and climbed onto the storage heater to look
out of the window. He saw two shapes moving along the sky at walking
pace, which, as they got closer, resolved themselves into two men, 1.
2m tall, dressed in white all over, including their bootless feet.
They wore white helmets with black visors. They were flying with
their legs held out straight and arms at right angles to their
bodies, as if swimming. They were clearly seen-illuminated by the
street light, and as they came close they were several times the
apparent size of the full moon. They did not appear to communicate
with each other. On their back were objects of the same colour as the
suits, these were rectangular boxes topped by cubes, on the top of
which was a button. The beings were in view for about one minute and
the sound was still heard for a few seconds after that. </span><br />

It seemed to originate from a field behind their garden fence. It was
transparent; the trees behind it being visible through it. After 10

house was a being about 1. 75m tall, wearing a helmet and tunic like
a Roman soldier. The helmet had a protuberance on top. She could see
its arms but not its legs, It marched towards the court in a goose
step, its arms upright, but its head slightly bowed. She went to
another window to get a better look, but could not and returned to
the first. The being had now gone. The ovoid object then took off,
slowly at first, then gathering speed, disappearing from sight. The
spheres remained a short while, swinging to and fro, and then
disappeared. During the observation, the noise, which sounded like
that of birds on the upper terrace and which was heard by other
people, stopped. The observation lasted 10 minutes. The witness had
poor eyesight. </span><br />

Joao Romeu Klein was returning home, when about 400m from his house,
he saw a disc shaped object in the sky, coming from the south. It
consisted of a bowl shaped lower part, slowly rotating
anti-clockwise, and a flatter upper part, surmounted by a light,
which changed, red-orange-yellow-green-white as it slowed from high
speed to a halt. The 3m diameter grey thing passed overhead at about
10m, coming to halt at 5m altitude, a little ahead of him. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">From the centre of the
underside came a beam of intense red light, in which Joao could see
three beings, 1m tall, descending. These three took up positions
across the way, blocking Joao’s way, while the object moved over a
grove of trees behind him, at about 8m altitude. Joao decided to
continue on his way, and way they spread out their arms to stop him,
speaking in an unknown tongue, he got out his knife to challenge
them, but it was deflected by an invisible barrier. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">At this the being in the
centre pointed a sort of rod at him and Joao was hit on the thigh by
a beam of blue-white light and he lost consciousness. He was found by
neighbours and when he came to; he found his left leg was stiff,
though no external injury was found when he was taken to hospital. He
recovered over several days. </span></span><br />

from a visit to relatives, when they observed a strange object on a
mound of earth. It was 1. 5m long, about 1m high, oval shaped, with a
large transparent compartment in the centre, an orange dome on top,
and standing on metallic runners. the couple felt attracted to the
object, as if hypnotised, and as they approached, the wind seemed to
stop, the trees stopped swaying and the traffic on the nearby road
just seemed to disappear. They looked at their watches and noticed
they had stopped, though they were working perfectly before and
after. The older woman reached the object and was able to run her
hand along the warm, perfectly smooth, side. Suddenly, two doll like
figures, about 30cm tall, appeared by the side, or perhaps inside,
the object. They had long white hair, unusually large eyes and claw
like hands. The women were frightened and so, apparently, were the
beings, who put their hands up to their faces. Then witnesses became
disorientated for some moments, then stepped back. As the moved back
from the object, the wind and street noises resumed. At this point
the object took off with a humming noise. The next day when the 63
year old was trying to put a plug in a socket, she felt her hand
repelled by some force. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Billy Vincent Pecha Jnr
(39), a self- employed heavy equipment mechanic, was watching late
night TV in his mobile home, while his wife and two children were
asleep. The TV and air conditioning were knocked out by a power
failure/ Thinking that his heavy welding work of the day had tripped
his circuit breakers he went out in his shorts to his work shop to
investigate. As he approached the underground cable his body hair
stood on end as if from static. He thought this was due to a leak in
the cable, but the static increased rather than decreased as he moved
away from it. His attention was then caught by a diffuse illumination
to the southwest. Looking up, instead of the expected moon, he saw a
circular object hovering just above a 10m tall TV antenna. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">This
object was about 15m above the ground; he first estimated it to be
40m in diameter, later reducing this to 25-30m. It had a smooth,
ceramic like underside and was surmounted by a dome divided into
vertical ribbed sections, each one of which was concave, and appeared
to be made of a kind of slag. There was a metallic central zone,
which was rotating clockwise, and a smaller area in the underside
that was rotating counter-clockwise. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">From a round shape in the
centre of this lower ring came a beam of greyish light, too diffuse
to cast shadows, which ended abruptly in mid-air. Also coming from
the object were six wavy motionless cables, dangling down about 1.
8-2. 4m from the bottom of the object. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Pecha walked to within 20m
of the object and after about 30 seconds the thing began to retreat
to the west, between 25-30m away. The cables were pulled up and in,
two pincer like appendages, one at each end, swivelled upwards and
inwards about half way, two hatches on the north and south rims swung
open, a spotlight coming on in each. As the object retreated, Pecha
following was able to see more of the upper ribbed dome, which was
about 4. 5m-6m high. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Pecha then went back into
the house and woke his wife Lenda (34). They both went into their 10
year old son’s bedroom. There they both saw the object, joined by
two others, manoeuvring over the area. This so unnerved them that
they grabbed the two children, hurriedly dressed and fled the house
into the pickup and fled the scene, paced by the first object at
speeds up to 145kph to neighbours (the Arant’s), who observed the
object move into the distance. Independent witnesses were Mrs Elaine
McGowan (39) and her 17 year old son Charles Morris, who observed a

about three minutes the light just went out, leaving a small light
that faded away. Thirty minutes later a violent storm blew up. A
neighbour Antonio Dubolc was awakened by a loud bang at about this
time, was struck by the heat, and found that his light would not
work, though it began functioning again a few minutes later. </span></span><br />

He then saw, about 10m away, a man about 2m tall. Thinking it was the
farmer needing to use his gate, Willy asked him if he wanted him to
move. Instead of replying pointed a square devise at Willy, giving
off an orange light. Willy was reluctant to approach closer but put
his hands on the gate, whereupon he received an electric shock. Willy
decided not to engage with the man further and continued to drink his
coffee. Looking round shortly afterwards he noticed that the man had
gone. He then saw a luminous object rising up. He thought it was a
farmer moving a hen house up a slope, but in the morning he realised
there was no slope there. The thing made no sound. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">After a number of citizens
had reported a bright light in the sky, an F4 fighter was sent up to
intercept. When it had got within 50km of the object, the plane’s
communications and instruments began to malfunction, so the pursuit
was called off. A second F4 was sent up, and when this got within
50km of the object, the latter took off at speed. This object was
brilliant with a rectangular pattern of flashing, alternating, blue,
green, red, orange, strobe lights, the flashing being so rapid that
all colours seemed to be present at the same time. This sighting was
confirmed by radar. South of Tehran, a smaller brilliant object left
the main one and headed for the plane at speed. When the pilot, Lt
Fafari_ tried to fire a missile at this object, his controls and
communications failed for a time. After sharp manoeuvres this object
returned to the main one. As they continued the chase, another object
left the main one and dived towards the earth, apparently gently
coming to rest on the hill side, as the main one sped away much
faster than sound. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">The object on the ground
cast a brilliant light over a 2-3km area, this light faded as the
plane circled overhead. As the plane flew back to base there was
interference on the communications. A civil airliner passing over the
area developed similar trouble. The intercept plane encountered, over
the airfield, a cylindrical object with lights on either side and a
flashing light in the centre. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">A search of the landing
site was found next day. According to the most reliable reports
nothing was found, but a story circulating in the Soviet Union,
claimed that an object 4. 5m diameter had landed and two giant
occupants, 2. 5m tall had emerged, looked over the area, then
re-entered the object, imprints of the landing gear of which
indicated a weight of 5 tons. </span></span><br />

lights were dim and the TV not properly working. A fuse had blown. </span><br />

object began to rise again, crossing the road as it did so. It
hovered twice more in the process of rising. When it was at a 75

had lasted about 5 minutes. One of the witnesses suffered severe neck
pain and ear trouble, which required medical attention. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">On the 28th</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">,

multi-coloured haze on its boarders. The thing moved off and she felt
an urge to follow it, gathering the impression that the object had
control over her car and was speeding it up. With something of a
struggle she eventually managed to stop the vehicle, and the mystery
object disappeared. Though she had been a bumpy road, the journey at

out. They first thought that it was a moped, but when they
investigated no tracks could see at the only entrance to the muddy

Kervenos and Kerboudal. The road was deserted on this pitch black
night. Suddenly his daughter saw an elliptical object over a field
behind their car. It was an almost circular thing, lit by a yellow
light, that did not radiate out, that was at about 100m altitude. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">As they drove on, the son
also saw the thing, which was slowly gaining on the car that was
doing 60kph. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Remy stopped the car by an
abandoned farm and got out, to clearly see the object about 40m away
and at 20m altitude, and his wife and children watched from inside
the car. The object was about the size of a DS Citroen of the period
(about 5 or6m long), was disc shaped or elliptical of a dark colour
and solid appearance and had two luminous, bright, pale yellow
spindle shaped projections, directed towards the ground, lighting up
the hillside. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">The family decided to
continue with their journey, loosing sight of the object for a time
behind a small wood, but as they rounded a bend by the war memorial,
the object came back into sight, complete with its projections, over
a fallow field. There, it suddenly emitted a brilliant flash that lit
up the surroundings, at which the projections went out. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">The object now had the
appearance, that of a disc surmounted by a dome in which there were
two “windows”, 20m away and 20m above an old apple tree lying on
the ground. It dome was bright yellow and the projections were there
under the object. The object then moved off, taking the form of a
yellow sphere as it did so. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">The couple suffered eye
trouble after the experience, perhaps due to the brilliant flash, but
they did not experience any after-images. </span></span><br />

to communicate with strange lights seen in the area, with a flashing
light, when he observed a disc followed by an aluminium coloured
object, the size of a supermarket, with a formation of lights along
one edge and an indentation along one side. He observed the objects
for 2-3 minutes, taking pictures and then stumbled back to his car,
where he sat, semi-conscious for 12-13 hours. When he came to, his
watch was about 10 hours slow. He later suffered from nightmares and

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Liberate Anibal Quintero,
a cowman who tended a herd of 40 cattle, was lying in his hammock
during a thunderstorm when he became anxious and felt he had to go
out. The rain had stopped when he got outside but he felt heavy as if
“controlled”. Just before he reached the cow sheds he saw a vivid
beam of light in the sky, coming closer. He threw himself to the
floor and was unable to get up again, so crawled into a hollow. As he
watched, a large luminous egg shaped object descended, lighting up
the surrounding area, and gave off an unbearable heat. As it touched
down by the sheds, the light almost blinded him. A small ladder
descended, from the side of the craft, to the ground, with a metallic
sound. Liberate wanted to run away but was unable to move except to
sit up and see a number of people with what looked like torches in
their hands coming out of the machine. They were less than 1. 5m tall
with white skins, flattened faces with very high cheekbones, thick
eyebrows and round protruding eyes. Among the occupants were three
women with long hair. The beings then seized him, and though he
knocked some down, he was overpowered in the struggle and fainted. He
recovered in a room with strong lights. His arm was sore where he
appeared to have been given an injection, as indeed was his whole
body. His back was massaged by naked women, one of whom seduced him.
She communicated with the others in barking noises. Liberate was then
given a drink which “restored his vigour” and had sex with the
other two, the whole episode lasting three hours. He was then given
another injection in the back, passed out, and awoke on the grass.
There he dashed home to tell his wife and friends what had happened.
When they returned to the scene the object was gone but marks were
left on the ground. His employer and workmates considered him
reliable. </span><br />

mechanical engineer, was exercising his dog on Sapley Playing Fields
when he saw an object in the sky. The thing then descended and he saw
that it was a squarish thing of metallic appearance, surmounted by a
dome, and with red, white and blue lights. It hovered, emitting a
buzzing sound. From its interior there came a kind of barrel shaped,
metallic looking object, which turned towards David, who was
terrified. The thing then retracted the probe and took off at
terrific speed terrifying his dog, which fled. On the side were the
letters WARCON or VAWCON. David fled in terror. </span><br />

was returning from the “Blancares” farm, on the Badajoz-Valencia
highway, between Barrax and Albacete, with his young daughter, when
they observed a dark object, surrounded by sparkling lights, which
flew very low. He stopped and got out. .The object had also stopped.
It was a round thing about 5m in diameter, surrounded by a chain or
bars on which were the lights. There was one very brilliant light,
the others, some constant, some alternating, were also strong. The
little girl became very frightened and they drove on to Barrax 8-9km
away. The object followed them at a height of 10-12m, speeding and
slowing with the car, until they reached Tajo-Segura canal, at which
it rose up to a considerable height. </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Antonio Alfonso Casado was
driving his truck from Guillena to Burgillo, when 4km along the road
from Guillena, he saw an unusual object approaching him at a 30
degree angle, appearing to gain speed as it approached. It passed
right across the road in front of him, at a distance of a few metres
and swung round to take up a position behind him. Through the driving
mirror Antonio could see the thing following him. As the object
paced, he felt a wave of intense cold, followed by one of intense
heat. The object had a domed top, on which there were three portholes
giving off a vivid yellow orange light, and the flattened underside
emitted various shade of blue light, from about 8 or so openings. The
whole object was about 5-6m long, 3m high. At Burgillo, Antonio
stopped briefly, at which point the object was directly overhead at
an altitude of 50-60m and emitting a metallic sound. As the town was
deserted, Antonio decided to drive on, the object staying behind.
Antonio, who was regarded as a serious and reliable person, was very
unnerved by this incident. </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Two national servicemen
Jose Maria Tejo (21) and Juan Carrirzona were on sentry duty in the
fuel stock zone when they heard a sound like radio interference,
which changed to an ear piercing whistle that faded after 5 minutes.
The noise then reappeared near Jose’s sentry box. Fearing sabotage
they began to search the area, the noise going off for another 5
minutes, then recommencing for another 5. As the noise faded this
time, they saw a light in the sky over Badajoz a few kilometres to
the south west. They were now joined by a third sentry, Jose Hildago,
who was patrolling the base with his Alaskan dog and who had also
seen the light. They alerted Corporal Pavon who arrived with support
guards and ordered a general search of the area. JMT, JC and JH set
out for the fuel stockpile and had gone 300m, keeping to the
perimeter wall, when, as they approached a sentry box in the process
of construction, they were struck by a sort of whirlwind, localised
in one spot, and heard branches being broken in a eucalyptus
plantation. They loosed the dog, which however came staggering back
after a few seconds, looking beaten and terrified and not uttering a
sound. This happened each time they sent the dog in. The dog then
began to circle them, a signal that they were under threat. Unnerved,
they called out to the intruders. Then JT had a sensation of someone
looking at him and glimpsed a green light out of the corner of his
eye, and wheeled round to confront what looked like a shimmering
human figure, at least 3m tall, only 15m away. The creature was a
luminous green and appeared to be composed entirely of small points
of light, more intense along the periphery. Its head was small and
appeared to be covered by some type of helmet, its arms were long and
its body thick. They could not see any legs. The being’s arms were
crossed but its hands were ill defined. When JT finally prepared to
shoot at the figure, he found himself unable to move, then his legs
slowly gave way and he sank to the ground, his sight failing. His
yell alerted the other two to the entity. C and H rapidly fired about
40-50 shots at the figure, which thereupon faded like a television
picture turned off. They then rushed to T’s aid. As he staggered to
his feet he became aware of a pain in his chest, though he had not
fallen hard, and they heard the whistle coming from the eucalyptus,
lasting for 10-15 seconds. After about 20 minutes T’s chest stopped
hurting. Military investigators were unable to find any trace of the
fired cartridges and a perimeter wall that should have been pot
marked by the shots showed not the slightest trace, though there was
no doubt that the weapon had been fired. A few days later T’s sight
faded but recovered in hospital, but on his release this happened
again and he was transferred to the Air Force Hospital in Madrid,
where he suffered from another attack, a pain in the neck, then
forehead and blindness, while he thrashed about in the bed. This was
the final attack. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Seven young men observed a
blue-yellow light in the north-western sky, followed 10-15 minutes
later by two lights in the north east and, simultaneously, they
observed two yellow balls to the west, about 30-40m away. They were
1. 5kmn above the ground and expanded and contracted, dimming as they
expanded and vice versa, reaching a diameter of 1. 5m at maximum
expansion. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Two of the lads, Eero
Lammi (19) and Seppo Moilanen, approached to within 10m of these
lights before losing courage and touring courage and turning back.
Then Eero noticed a bright flash of light above and behind him, felt
a pain in his chest and blacked out. Seppo saw that a bright beam of
light had hit Eero, penetrating his body and hitting the ground about
1m from his feet. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Eero screamed, and fell
unconscious, his muscles totally stiffened and his pulse slowed down
to 40. His friends carried him to a hut where he came to after about
5 minutes. The balls of light disappeared after the light beam. Later
in that evening a large number of red spots appeared on Eero’s
chest above the lower ribs and a red area appeared on his back. These
faded and disappeared within a day. Several neighbours had seen the
blue-yellow lights in the North West, but they had not seen the balls
of light. Eero did not call a doctor. </span></span><br />

shaped like tropical helmet hovering above the treetops. It was about
6m in diameter, shiny and silver, with a yellow-red light coming from
the lower portion, and a plume of smoke from the upper. This object
disappeared but later another object hovered over the power plant,
moving up and down and making turns, and three times beaming a light
down on the wooded area. Then a smaller object appeared, rose slowly
for 20 minutes, positioning itself temporality beneath the larger
one, and then disappearing quickly. This second object was elongated
like a sausage, with a white centre and orange, blue and red ends.
The larger object remained in view for a further 30 minutes. At about
the same time, two people approaching Kolsva from the north, observed
an object as large as the full moon. Another witness was a farmer

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mrs Joyce Bowles (42), a
railway powder room assistant, and Edwin Platt (58), a retired farm
manager, were driving to Chilcomb Farm from Winchester, to pick up
Joyce’s 17 year old son who was visiting his girl friend at the
farm. Joyce was diving her 1972 Mini-Clubman. As they turned onto the
A272 they noticed an orange glow in the sky, which disappeared after
a moment or two. A few seconds later Joyce saw the glow again for a
moment. At the bottom of the road, she turned onto Chilcomb Road, a
narrow lane boarded on the right hand side by a grassy area about 15m
wide. Almost immediately the car began to shake, and despite both of
them gripping hold of the steering wheel, moved diagonally across the
road onto the verge. About 5m in front of their car they saw a cigar
shaped object, perhaps 4. 5m long, hovering less than 50cm above the
ground, vapour apparently emerging from jets on the underside. In the
top left hand portion there was a window (or windows) in which three
heads could be seen. A man emerged straight through the side of the
object. He was about 1. 8m tall, slim, wearing an aluminium coloured
boiler suit, with a zip up to his chin. This suit flapped although
there was no wind. he wore nothing on his head, had long, blond,
hair, curled up at the back and a dark beard reaching to his
sideburns. His skin was pale, his eyes very pink and apparently
luminous, his nose rather pointed. The being walked up to the car,
put on hand on the roof and looked in. There was a whistling sound.
Joyce became terrified and clung to Edwin, who felt some power from
the being, which seemed to calm him. The being then walked to the
back of the car and was not seen again. When they looked to the
front, the object was gone. When they tired to move forward they
appeared to hit an invisible wall, (this was probably due to the mud
on the verge). but moved on a second attempt. They then drove on to
the farm. Joyce later suffered from a rash on the right hand side of
her face and her watch gained appreciably. When the being came close
to the car, the dashboard seemed to glow four times as brilliant as
normal. Joyce claimed to be psychic and to have had poltergeists in
the house. Interview with the witnesses seemed to give conflicting
information in some areas. </span><br />

She first thought that it was a car headlight, and then saw that it
was from a window in a grey object shaped like an oyster shell. The
windows were surrounded by a fluorescent glow, and a beam of light
was projecting up into the sky. After a couple of minutes Mrs Dean
became so frightened that she walked away so quickly that she tripped
over something in the road. The visibility ranged from 30-90m. </span></span><br />

an explosion or any other noise. Pierre continued slowly on his

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Darryl Smith (26) was
driving his van from Kingsley Holt to Cheadle on this cold; clear
evening, when he observed a peculiar red light in the northern sky,
hovering over some woods. After driving on a while, Darryl stopped
and wound down the window. As he watched the object moved westwards,
split into two parts, which then re-joined. Darryl then continued
driving with the window rolled down, keeping the light in view for
about 8 minutes. When he arrived at his brother-in-law’s in
Cheadle, Darryl searched for some binoculars, but was unable to find
any. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">After about 10 minutes he
drove off to try and locate the object again. In the area of Shawe
Park he saw the thing descending towards a field about 100m away. It
was shaped like a vertical bullet with a deep red coloured top and
the bottom quarter section was white. The top was pointed. Owing to
the terrain Darryl was unable to tell whether the object landed in
the field or not. He reported the incident to the police. The area
was searched but no traces were found. </span></span><br />

both aged 74 were at their mining claim, which they had operated for
40 years, and had just got out of their car when they noticed a
strange heat. They began to walk cautiously around, Clint walking to
a wall area beyond a creek, where he saw an egg shaped object
downstream in the bush. When he yelled to Jane to get her gun, the
object rose up to 27-30m and hit them with a sort of force field,
which dazed them for 190-15 minutes. Jane had wet herself with the
shock. Just before the shock they had been able to see that the
object was small, with a pot marked tan coloured surface. It seemed
to pass through the trees on its rapid departure. The object had been
about 55-60m away. The couple blamed their health problems on this
object and later claimed to have been taken to a secret government
laboratory where they were medically examined and samples from the
mine analysed</span><br />

Pratt (qv) were driving along on an unlit part of the road, about 1.
5km from Quarry Farm, when Pratt saw a light in the sky and directed
Bowles’ attention to it. She was dazzled by the headlights of an
oncoming car, but when this cleared. she saw the light move in and
out of the clouds. They then heard a high pitched whistling sound,
and the car started rocking back and forth. JB then passed out, and
when she came to she realised they were standing next to the car in
some sort of craft. A being came up and stood close to her, another
had a belt with a large jewel on it, which flashed when he touched
it. This being said something like “Mileeger” and other things in
an unknown tongue, before, in broken English, they asked EP to take 7
paces forward, and asked him how he felt. He replied cooler at one
end than the other. The being pointed to diagrams on transparent
material on the wall, and seemed annoyed when EP could not understand
what he meant when he said “these are our fields”. When one of
the them said they were not planning to invade, JB replied “That's
what Hitler said”. Much of the conversation was incomprehensible.
The beings wore boiler suits with polo necks; though the one nearest
them was dressed in a shiny metallic suit, had coarse sandy hair and
seemed to be looking JB up and down. The couple got the impression
that JB had been chosen because one of the beings had put his hand on
the car on the previous occasion. In the centre of the room was a
large bottle like structure rising up form the floor, wide at the
bottom and tapering upwards, with emblems that looked like signs of
the zodiac. The room was about 6m by 3. 5m. Things seemed to go hazy,
and when the couple came to they were are a road near a river that
they did not recognise. After driving around for about 39 minutes
they arrived at Chilworth about 16km south of Winchester. They drove
back to Quarry Road, arriving at 22.15hrs. </span><br />

moved slightly, that now filled a quarter of her window. She watched
for over an hour as it seemed to come towards her and darken. Two
figures resembling toy soldiers were moving about in front of it. Her
31 year old son coming home at an estimated 0415hrs saw the object on

Re-investigation by Tony Pace showed that the object was the moon,
and the entities possibly a telegraph pole, (though lunar markings
may also be involved). There was an error of an hour in the timing
and the son arrived home. Frost in the glass along with fatigue and
perhaps some degree of REM intrusion may help explain the radical
misperception. </span></li>

an undisclosed location, a man on the house alone while his wife and
children were away visiting, was awoken by the sensation that he was
being throttled by an unseen attacker. He grabbed hold of its arm,
but it was wrestled free and disappeared with a scream. He turned on
the light but no sign of an intruder could be found. His pyjamas were
torn and next morning he found the remains of the previous day’s
meal smeared around the kitchen. Starting with the following year
this man began to see a shadowy human figure in the bedroom, and on
one occasion this was seen by his wife. </span></span></span></span></div>

soldiers (Manoio Aguera, Felipe Sanchez, Ricardo Iglesias and Jose
Laso) were driving back to the Army Engineering Academy in Burgos,
when the driver, Aguera, saw a light fall from the sky at great
speed. They stopped and all four got out to watch an intensely
luminous, yellowish thing joist above the ground, 400m away, at the
place where the light had fallen. The thing was like a truncated
cone, 2m tall, 3m wide, which emitted white jets of light towards the
ground. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The
main light suddenly went out and four others appeared in a straight
line very close to each other, lighting up in succession. Driving on
the soldiers stopped twice more to watch the lights (on the second
occasion only two or three lights were visible). There were several
other witnesses, including Jose Rivas Riano of the secret police. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">An
investigator, Fr Malo Martinez found two parallel burnt areas,

numerous randomly spaced marks where the grass had been burned down

60cm x 31cm, the holes measured about 20cm x25cm. </span></div>

Alberto Diaz (28), married with one child, had caught the bus home
from his night job as a waiter and was walking through a deserted
railway yard (or the road by the yard) when he was momentarily
blinded by a beam of broken light. This happened in silence. When he
recovered from the dazzle her tried to run away but found himself
first impeded then paralysed and heard a humming sound. He then
seemed to be lifted up in the beam and after he had gone about 3m he
passed out. He awoke in a smooth, shiny sphere, lit by luminescent
walls that resembled translucent plastic. There were no furnishings
or instruments. He half crouched close to some air holes in the floor
of the object, which was 2.5m wide, 3m high. Then three humanoid
beings, 1.75-1.8m tall, slim build, with featureless green hued faces
and undersized heads. They wore pale cream extremely soft rubbery
suits, which contrasted with their moss coloured green skin. Their
arms terminated in stumps. The beings grabbed Diaz with these stumps
and seemed “tireless” and impervious to his resistance. They then
yanked out tufts of his hair, “dancing with glee” as they did so.
Dial's sight then became cloudy and he fainted again. He recovered on
a road. Sources are contradictory about what happened next, Romaniuk
says Diaz was picked up by a motorist who informed him he was now in
Buenos Aires and drove him to the railway hospital, where he arrived
at 0830hrs. and phoned his family 0920. Another source says he
arrived at 1615 having hitch hiked for over a day, while Banchs says
hospital records show he arrived at 1715. </span></span></span><br />

V (13) was in the yard of his parents’ farm when he saw 150m in
front of him, through an above a row of trees a hemispherical object
with a sort of porthole from which came a powerful clear yellow
light. After only moments the thing took off and came progressively
closer to the lad, turning towards him as it did so. It rose slowly
at first and then progressively increased speed. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Yvon
could now see that the object was cigar shaped, 15m long, 3m thick
and 4.5m high and was composed of four distinct parts. Its main body
was brown and had a row of five bright equally spaced portholes in a
line. As the thing rose it rotated every faster the row of portholes
looking like a continuous line of light. Yvon could also see three
feet on its underside, which retracted into its interior as it rose.
The thing was surmounted by a sort of dome on which there was a
single porthole, which faded out as the thing rose to 100m but the
others remained bright. The thing then rapidly moved off to the north
east leaving a faint cloud of tan coloured smoke that soon
dissipated. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The
next day Yvon discovered 6 imprints; three were roughly triangular
8cm long, 4.5cm wide, and three roughly circular, a little less than
7cm in diameter and about 3cm deep. A sort of U shaped patch of
darkish greasy liquid 1.76m x 1.77m was found at the site and next to
it the grass was compressed in a patch 1.15m x 13cm. The lad’s aunt
who lived on a neighbouring farm saw a brilliant light at about the
same time. </span><br />

people out driving saw for a brief moment an object so close to the
ground that it appeared to be either landing or taking off. They
drove on for a while and then turned round to encounter the object
again. The thing was then paced at about 65kph. The thing appeared to
be the size of the rear end of a Volkswagen and to have three red
lights on one side and two white ones on the other and to be at 60m
altitude, 60m away. The thing moved in a tight circle and then moved
off and hovered again. The witnesses drove to a relative’s house
but when they returned with them the thing had gone. </span></span></span><br />

another car was coming, prepared to drive over, only to find that the
car would not start. Then a powerful blue light shone in through the
driver’s side, illuminating the foliage, and the CB developed
static. The light seemed to manoeuvre fast, as if probing. When it
had gone, the car started. The party could see no other vehicle. They
heard a sound like electricity humming in the wires, but there were
no such wires nearby. They pulled onto the Animas Road, then back on
to the old mine road, too see a blue glow, like a halo, but not
arched, behind a hill. Mrs M especially became unnerved and her face
felt hot, so they moved out of the area. </span></span></span><br />

was stationary at first, but then stared to descend, the orange light
flashing on and off at regular intervals as it did so. The witness
watched from behind a hedge as the thing slowly descended out of

Norton and Sheryl Ricard, returning from a flounder fishing trip,
were driving about 1.6km from Brookby on the Alfriston Road, when
Sheryl saw a red, brilliantly lit globe in the sky in front of them.
It was lost from view in a bend in the road. As they passed the
trees, the object, which appeared to be the size of an average family
car, illuminated by its lights, came closer. Dale thought it was just
a plane, but when it passed over the car and went into a paddock by
the side of the road he slowed for a better look. Sheryl saw it was a
circular object with a bright white dome in the centre, and two white
and two red lights on the rim. From its underside their protruded
four legs on the end of each of which there was a red light, smaller
than those on the rim. Inside the clear, Plexiglas like dome she
could see three shadowy figures moving around. By this time the
object had come closer and was pacing the car, just above the power
lines on the right hand side of the road. about 7m from the car. When
Dale said he was going to stop the car to take a better look, Sheryl
panicked, so they turned into the drive of the first house they came
upon. When Dale turned off the engine a faint hum could be heard. The
object hovered nearby for a few seconds, then shot off over the hills
before the householder could come out. Sheryl was in a state of shock
when she arrived home and had to be calmed by tranquillisers </span></span></span><br />

coming from his barn when he saw a very bright light to the south of
his farm, which filled the small valley (about 8km from the farm)
which it was in and illuminated the surrounding area with a silvery
glow. Then a brilliant ball of light, the apparent size of, but much
brighter than, the sun rose slowly from the centre of the valley to
450m altitude, where it hovered for a minute. It then went down again
very slowly, or moved away from the witness, giving the impression of
sinking below the horizon. After this event the valley still glowed
in a manner the witness had never seen before. He was shocked and
virtually blinded and was unable to talk for several minutes. The
observation lasted three minutes. The weather was misty (visibility
about 11km), there was almost no wind and the weather was cloudy. </span></span></span><br />

underneath, a domed top, which glowed with green-white lights, and a
row of very bright oblong windows, set vertically along the side;
these gave off a light which seemed to be a mixture of red, blue and
green colours. While the object was near they could hear a humm9ng
sound. Alice ran into the street barefoot and dressed only in a
bathrobe, as the family followed the object, which had moved from
their window view after 2 minutes. The object moved out of sight
behind the Stonehenge apartment building. </span></span></span><br />

O’Barksi (72) was driving though North Hudson Park, en route to an
all night cafe, after locking up his liquor store. His radio began to
go tinny then cut out. He then heard a droning sound like a
refrigerator, and an object, about 9m diameter, 2.5-3m tall,
surmounted by a dome, came floating down. The object was dark with a
series of lighted vertical windows around the main body, about 30cm
wide, and 1.2m high, spaced 30cm apart. From the windows came light,
the colour of ordinary household lights, and there was a lighted
strip at the base of the dome. Straight up above the dome were
several antennae like projections. The sides of the object were 1.8m
tall, with another 60-90cm to the top of the shallow dome. The object
moved into the park, parallel with his car and stopped 30m away. It
descended from 3-1m above the grassy area. Suddenly a square lighted
opening appeared on the side of the object facing his closest
position and some sort of mechanical steps descended. Down these came
9-11 occupants, 90cm-1.2m tall, dressed in what looked like snow
suits with round helmets on their heads and wearing gloves. The
apparel was dark. Each was carrying a small dark coloured bag and
something like a small shovel or spoon. George observed them digging
in various spots near the object and placing samples in bags. They
were moving normally and efficiently. George, following the curving
road was now within 33m of the scene. After about one minute the
beings returned, in the same manner, to the object, which began to
hum again and took off, revealing a dark, hollowed out, underside,
and disappeared within 20 seconds. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">George, more terrified than when
his store had been held up, went straight home to bed, pulling the
covers over him. Next morning he returned to the site and found
several holes in the ground. Confirmed later by his son Frank, and 10
months later the investigators found 12-15 small triangular spots.
Investigators tracked down the former doorman at the Stonehenge
apartment, only 300m east of the site, who was on duty at the time.
William Pawlowski had observed a circle of lights in the park between
0200hrs and 0300hrs. He was making a phone call to a resident at the time
and while he saw still on the phone he heard a loud crack and saw
that the large plate glass window he was looking at was cracked in
one corner. Thinking it was a shot from the lights, which he now
suspected were from a ufo, he called the police, who examined the
damage and said that it was not caused by a bullet. he also said that
a tree between the apartment and the park had been damaged. </span><br />

Kathy Soulages (26) was visiting the home of Mr and Mrs Clarence Hale
and went outside to view the sky, whereupon she almost immediately
observed a large oblong object, with red white and green lights,
rotating clockwise above the mountains to the west, about 1.6km away.
She got the Hales, who confirmed the sighting. After 5 minutes, a
round red object appeared to emerge from the bottom of the cylinder
and began descending towards the mountain, as the cylinder moved out
of sight. The disc hovered over a powerline. Then another object
emerged from this disc and began to follow the powerlines until it
was at ground level on a small island in the middle of the Verde
River. The object dimmed and brightened as it came down the mountain,
sometimes dimming for minutes at a time. When it reached the island,
it emitted two brilliant flashes that lit up the area, and was seen
no more. The Hales now went back into their house and Kathy went
home. At 2200hrs Kathy went outside to look once more at the mountain,
where she observed the red disc take off and hover. She called her
husband out and they both observed the thing through binoculars.
Kathy then called Mrs Hale, who also saw it. Kathy saw the cylinder
again at 0040hrs. She compared the cylinder to a Boeing 747 and a
Pullman car; the disc was orange and humped and the third object was
a pale orange glow. </span></span></span><br />

Annie Alvarerdo of Garden Hills, San Juan, was awakened by a sound
like a mixture of a constant low hum and an intermittent buzz. She
noticed that an electric fan had stopped working. She locked herself
and her two children in the bathroom until the sound stopped. When
they emerged, the fan was working again. The gardener noticed a
triangular pattern of three depressions n her garden. Neighbours had
seen an intense light by the palm tree in front of her patio. The
object was visible for 10 minutes, emitted green and red lights, then
suddenly shot skywards to the west and was out of sight in seconds.
An investigator found that the holes were 75mm deep and 10cm diameter
and formed an equilateral triangle, sides 1.1m long. Grass refused to
grow in the depressions, which would have required a colossal weight
to produce in that soil. </span></span></span><br />

Philippe Bontemps and his girlfriend Michele Guilbert had driven out
to a square of crossroads in the forest of Compiegne and had stopped
at the “Crossroads of the Princesses” to start their walk in the
forest and take wildlife photos. They saw, out to the west , they saw
a large circular white light moving slowly to the south a few metres
above the trees, scarcely above the horizon. The couple were at a
spot 70m above ground and the thing was lower down at 55m and was
following the path of a creek. The thing clearly moved away from the
140m tall. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">After
this thing had disappeared the couple continued their expedition,
eventually returning to their car, where they stood and had a smoke.
They were suddenly interrupted by an extraordinary noise that seemed
to come from the bottoms by the creek and which resonated though the
forest for three or four seconds. It had a metallic tone which the
witnesses thought sounded like the rattling of the gear of a phantom
army. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Phillipe
started out to walk down to the Hourvari crossroads to see what was
up, but returned to the car. They continued to drive on only to see
an object like a small yellow-orange dot seeming to fade away. It
then expanded very rapidly on the spot, taking the form of a
distorted sphere that gave off a strange opaque non -shining light.
The thing then seemed to advance towards them rapidly through the
fringe of shrubs by the roundabout. The couple backed away, possessed
with a sensation of being watched and studied. They drove off,
flashing their headlights and sound the horn. They returned the next
day with friends to look for traces but none were found. Though they
had the camera with them on the night they didn’t take any photos
of the thing. </span><br />

diameter, surrounded by four blue lights, with a white light in its

followed her until she reached her home a block away. The girl’s
mother reported that the house lit up as if a car had shone its

Eltham but on peaking a steep hill some way along the road they could
see , across open fields, that the light came from a bright orange
sphere hovering about 30m above the ground. They slowed and stopped
at a bend in the road. From there they saw the thing coming towards
them, forcing them to drive off again. When they reached home they
saw from a bedroom window the object moving up and down and side to
side just above or below the tree line. Their housemates, fellow
students Marcia Williams and Jill Wood also saw the thing. . Finally
at 0015 the thing moved off to the south. </span></span></span><br />

15 year old boys Mike K and Chuck D went out on this cold clear night
to test the ice on the local pond for ice skating the next day. On
entering a clearing in the heavily wooded area by the pond they were
amazed to observe a large American football shaped orange glow about
120m away. The boys watched this for about 10 minutes, during which
time it appeared as though its outer edge were converging on its
centre, such that it became transformed into a basketball sixed mass,
which then suddenly disappeared. At times the thing, which appeared
to be about 8 m diameter, seemed to go below the treeline. There was
no noise, heat or other physical sensation. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The
frightened boys ran to the house of a friend and informed him of the
incident. They returned to the scene early next morning to find
several trees were sheared off, and some were covered by a carbon
like substance. The wood was sent to a laboratory for analysis. The
report suggested that the superficial burns and carbon residue
suggested a low temperature oil based file. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">At
the same time as the boys’ sighting Daniel Kish was walking along

slipped its collar and bolted for home. The dog remained nervous
until the next morning. </span><br />

lights on its right side and felt that it was rotating. The thing was
about the length of a large car (5-6m). No sound was heard at any
time. The object ascended and stayed over the Mt Olive area for
approx. 2 hours, during which time it was observed by at least 6
other people in different locations. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">10
year old Thierry was in the Cordonnier gardens and at one of
the hedges bordering it, overlooking a field when he saw a luminous
sphere hovering above an old leafless tree 30m away. It was
alternately red and white, with sharp edges except for a fuzzy halo.
The thing seemed to turn in on itself, about 20-30cm above the grass
and flush with the overhanging branch of a tree, which branch was
2.1m above the ground, giving a diameter of 1,7m for the sphere.
Suddenly the thing began to move from out under the tree, rose to
about 1m and approached the lad, making a sound, like the buzzing of
a bee, that got gradually louder. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Now
frightened the lad turned around and went towards his home but when
he had got a good distance from the hedge he turned round to see that
the sphere occupied the place he had just left. It then moved back to
its original location, ducking under the tree branch. The buzzing had
now stopped. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">When
he got home Thierry tried to tell his parents about this but they
were too busy to take notice. Dogs did not act up and no damage was
found on the overhanging branch but 150m away on the other side of
the field residents of an apartment in the “Vasco de Gama”
building saw around 2015, towards the south a dark mass of
indeterminate shape at an unknown distance but very low down, which
seem to keep coming and going, under which there were blue-white
flashes; After about 5 minutes the sky cleared and the stars came
out. </span><br />

by a deep humming sound and went outside to investigate. It was a
dark and slightly misty morning but, looking over the marshes,
eastwards towards Southwold; Keith saw a bright red light, which was
reflected in the water, though its outlines were indistinct due to
the mist. It appeared to be about 800m away and 12m above the water,
and to be emitting some sort of humming noise. As Keith watched the
noise got louder and the water appeared to be illuminated by a white
light, but there was no sign of a beam of light between the object
and the water. Keith called his wife and they observed the object for
over an hour, until the cold forced them back in. </span></span></span><br />

Severin (21), a shop worker, had been troubled by a beeping sound in
the ears since a dream on the night of 11-12th of February. This made
him nervous, and now had become so unbearable that he had to leave
the shop the moment it closed. As he ran home past the cemetery the
sound became louder. When on the main road, just before the
cross-roads to his cottage he felt himself stopped by some force, the
sound became deafening. He turned into a maize field, where, after a
few metres, he was struck by a blast of heat and air. He was
paralysed and then saw an intensely bright, aluminium coloured disc,
surmounted by a cupola, hovering about 1.5m above the ground. He then
saw a ladder, inclined at 45 degrees that appeared from the top of
the object and did not touch the ground. Then a dwarf in tight
fitting clothes like the “Michelin Man” emerged from the object.
This dwarf was shiny like the machine and in his right hand he held a
shiny device 30cm long. While on the ladder his movements seemed
graceful, but on the ground he became clumsy and was walking with his
feet together. Two other little men joined him. While the first one
was digging on the ground, the second held a little shiny bag but he
didn’t seem to put anything in it. On their heads they had a sort
of antennae, which moved at one point. Antoine looked up to the
turret on the machine and saw the profile of a fourth dwarf. At that
point he was knocked to the ground by a powerful flash of light. As
he recovered his senses he saw the little men ascend the ladder
faster than they came down, and the ladder was drawn up again at
once. The machine then rose into the air with a loud whistle, but
Antoine was unable to tell in which direction it left. When he
recovered he fled to his parent’s home. Every time he tried to
return to the field in the weeks following he would hear the beeping
sound and on an least one occasion he fainted. Immediately afterwards
he lost his voice and sight for a few days when he got home. He was
still able to draw a plan of the field and a neighbour (Mrs M-M
Leveneur) who investigated found footprints and three round holes. </span></span></span><br />

Duas (31),a warehouseman, was returning home to Muret from visiting a
friend in Aureville and was between Lagardelle-Sur-Leze and the
D12-RN20 intersection and had stopped to relieve himself by a hedge
when he saw a white sphere descend out of the 2-22.5km cloud cover
and rapidly descend behind the hedge. Paul, frightened went back
towards the road but then fell back and then saw what had landed
behind the hedge. There, 70-80 away right in the middle of a field,
resting on tripods was a sort of rugby ball shaped thing, 7-8 long,
3-4m tall, illuminated by a brilliant pale light, brighter that a
welding arc that was unbearable to look at. Underneath this was a
sort of luminous hemisphere. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Then
the thing went dark only to blaze up again shortly afterwards the P
had to put his hands in front of his eyes and his vehicle engine
stalled. The thing then took off silently before speeding off with a
whistle like a bullet in the direction of Venerque-Miremont. Paul sat
trembling in his car for a while and then got his torch and examined
the site but no traces were visible. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">In

seconds. </span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Two
7 year old boys Masato Kono and Katsuhiro Yamahata, were roller
skating near Kono’s apartment in the Hinode Housing Estate when
they observed a light the sky. Looking more closely, they saw that
there were two clear orange coloured lights approaching from the
east. The larger object turned north towards Mt.Atago while the
smaller object continued towards them with an irregular motion. When
it was near they heard a sort of “tick tack” sound from it. They
hid and watched the light as it went out of sight. Thinking they had
seen the last of it, the boys started home, only to see what looked
like a fire in the vineyard behind Kono’s home. As they approached,
the light took off to a great height, then landed again near the
centre of a grapevine trellis. It was a domed object about 5m
diameter, about 2m high, with three landing pads. From a distance it
appeared a clear luminous orange, but when they got within 1m or less
the surface appeared to be silvery. On one side of the craft Kono
found five characters, which looked like Japanese, but which he
couldn’t recognise. There were four similar characters on the other
side. While Kono was inspecting these characters, Yamahata began to
walk around the craft. When he reached the opposite end Kono heard a
clatter from inside and the craft opened and a ladder extended slowly
to the ground. Down this ladder came a humanoid, 1,3m tall, with
dark brown skin, pointed ears, no eyes, nose or mouth. Its face was
covered with wavy wrinkles and it had three silvery fangs pointing
downwards from where its mouth should have been. Its head was very
large compared with its body and completely bald. It was wearing
silver coloured clothing and carried an instrument that resembled a
shotgun or rifle. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When Yamahata came round the craft near the
occupant, both boys were able to look inside and saw second, similar
but smaller occupant sat with one hand on something that looked like
a control lever. The humanoid outside then spoke to them in a voice
which sounded like a tape recorder going to fast or in reverse. The
boys then ran to Kono’s house,. 100m away, where both sets of
parents were. When Kono told his story he was told not to talk
nonsense, but when Yamahata confirmed it, the parents went out with
the boys to take a look. They saw, from a distance of 50m, a luminous
orange object in the centre of the vineyard. They first wondered it
was a house light on the other side. As they looked closer, it began
to pulsate rapidly, became bright, then dim, then disappeared. They
went to the spot but could see nothing in the dark. </span><br />

young man and his fiancée, driving near Potts Wood, noticed a huge
bright, slightly pink, circular object in the sky. It was the
apparent diameter of a soccer ball at arm’s length. They got out of
their car and timed the object for 30 seconds, as it hovered. It then
descended into or just beyond the woods for 5 seconds, at a speed of
50-55kph. The case was reported to BUFORA investigator Lawrence Dale,
who returned to the scene with the male witness. They observed
several aircraft approaching Heathrow Airport with their landing
lights on, and then a small bright light, several degrees below the
aircraft, which approached them increasing in size and brilliance,
until the light was brighter than the strongest landing light. They
had a feeling “as if it knew it was being watched” and within two
seconds it had dimmed to a point source 1-2 degrees North West of its
original position and disappeared. For the next 15 minutes military
aircraft circled the area at a lower altitude than the civil

Meyer (62) a postal messenger from Aldringham, who was well respected
in his community, was walking his dog along the beach 2km north of
the Sizewell Nuclear Power Station in the direction of Minsmere, on
this bright clear night, with the moon just rising above the sea,
when he observed what appeared to be a shooting star appear from the
North East. The light was travelling very fast and within a matter of
seconds it was near him. It resembled a pumpkin, was coloured green
and yellow and had a luminous screen, like that of a television. It
stopped about 20m from Thomas’ location, hovering about 1.8m above
the ground, remaining stationary for 30 seconds. It appeared to be
about 3.5m in diameter and while it was hovering there, Thomas felt
as though he was transfixed and detected a warm feeling and a pungent
acid smell (“like acid drops”). It was soundless, its outlines
were clear and it appeared to be rotating. While the object was
present the dog was trembling, and when it had sped away rapidly in
the direction from which it had arrived, the dog fled back to the
power station, where it awaited its master. At the time of this
event, there was interference on local television sets. </span></span></span><br />

Rogers was driving home along the Weymouth Road, when, about 800m
from his home, he observed a large object hovering 18m above an open
field to the left of the road. He braked to avoid running into
another car, whose driver had stopped to observe this object. The
thing was 18m long, shaped like one plate inverted over another, the
space between them illuminated by red, green and blue rotating
lights. It was only about 180m away. Aster about 30 seconds the thing
disappeared “faster than the eye could follow”. The second driver
agreed with this description but announced that he was going to
forget the experience. Paul was very shaken by the incident. At the
same time, his dog, at home began to growl for no apparent reason. A
police sergeant neighbour reported TV disturbance at the same time. </span></span></span></span><br />

Campbell, his wife and 4 children were driving home to Inman from the
cinema in Spartanburg, along Byrnes Boulevard, when their attention
was caught by a ball of fluorescent blue, red and orange silver
light, its colours pulsating and blending “too large to be a star”
and “too massive to be an aeroplane” nearing town and getting
larger in the western sky. They weren’t very concerned until the
thing swung right and followed them up the Asheville Highway, pacing
them at treetop level. When they stopped to get an ice cream just
before their home block, the object had descended to less than 15m
above a field across the road, where it was hovering, and rocking
gently back and forth. As they continued their journey the object
followed, stopping between 200-300m, hovering between two houses at
below rooftop height, as they turned into their driveway. Mrs
Campbell and the children ran into the house, but later came out with
her mother, to join Willie watching the object hover for 15 minutes.
Willie and his 12 year old son then got into the car and followed the
object to Campton Heights, where it went in front of the car and rose
higher and further away. After 15 minutes the pair returned to Inman,
the object following them part way, but gone by the time they reached
home. After 10-15 minutes, it reappeared coming over the house
at150m, leaving a silvery blue trail 4.5-6m long. </span></span></span><br />

a TV station were called, the TV station tool a film of the light but
it did not come out. The police officer also saw the light and eight

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Mr
G (45) a cement mixer from Phoenix was sleeping on top of a camper
parked on the bank of the reservoir, two companions being asleep
inside. He woke up for no apparent reason, to see a strange structure
consisting of a number of uprights and cross members, from 10-15cm in
width, covering an area about15m wide, 10m high, hovering about 3m
from the camper, 1.2m above the ground. The further edge of the thing
as at about the edge of the reservoir and the whole thing was moving
northward at about 1.5kph. As G got his glasses for a better look,
the object started moving eastwards and then north again, so he
banged on the camper to arouse his companions. The other men did not
see the black object. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">During
the experience G noted that some fibreglass fishing poles were
tapping against the fishing boat, which was parked a short distance
from the camper, and fish were jumping out of the water in an area
from 30m north to 30m south of their location and within 15m of the
shore. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">After
15 minutes G went back to sleep, only to be awoken again at 0305 by a
bright light and prickling sensation like an electric shock. The
light came from an object 12-15m diameter at 0200 elevation, titled
to a 20-30 degree angle. This light was coming from a slit, which
opened and closed, on the upper portion of a curved dark structure of
a dark object, which was clearly silhouetted against the night sky. G
tried to wake his companions but the object had moved away into the
distance before he did so. As it left, it came directly overhead and
G could see a number of holes with lighted circumferences around the
outer edge. The fish were jumping and the poles vibrating again. </span><br />

war time tail gunner in the RAAF and professional man was fishing at
Lake Sorrel, along with a commercial artist, when he observed three
objects flying in from the north east, one larger than the other two.
He lost sight of them for a few minutes, then saw two of them
travelling south west and stopping over Dogs Head Peak before going
on towards Mt Penny. On their undersides were central red pulsating
lights, with red and orange lights around their circumferences. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">An
object 60m in diameter then came out of the clouds 4km away, to
within 1km at 500m altitude. It then directed a powerful beam of
light, so intense that it hurt his eyes, down towards the lake,
swinging back and forth over the water, illuminating an area of about
2.5km. When the object approached, they heard static across all the
stations on the band. The brilliant light then went out, leaving a
blue-white phosphorescence about 10m above the lake. Both this object
and one out by Mt Penny departed at terrific speed, like a tracer
bullet. The next day they met campers at Silver Plains, about 1.5km
away, whose tent had been illuminated by an intense light at about
this time. There were other witnesses in the Silver Plains area. </span><br />

terrified the children so they fled, sounding the car horn as they

Foy, a police officer’s son, and his sister in law Joan Pelletier
were driving down Weymouth Road when they observed huge oval object
hovering 60m above the field where Rogers had had his sighting. They
watched for 30 minutes as the silent object descended slowly towards
the ground and then moved off to the east at 8kph. They described a
round object with lights around it but could not agree on details.
John described four white lights at the front and a red one at the
rear, while Joan described, red, green and white lights revolving
around it. A helicopter passed over the thing. John was very unnerved
by this sighting. </span></span></span><br />

Hill, a young Prescott man was fishing from a remote campsite on the
north shore of Alamo Lake when he observed a light rapidly descending
towards the lake at a 60-70 degree angle from the southwest. It
decelerated and hovered about 9-12m above the water, about 150-200m
away. Hill immediately put out his lantern. The object appeared to be
at least as long as an American football pitch, and was of a
flattened American football shape, surmounted by a dome that emitted
very bright white light. At first Hill could only see the lights.
Under the white dome were three red rectangular lights, arranged
horizontally, which glowed individually in sequence, left to right.
Then all three lights came on simultaneously, increasing in
intensity. The lights then repeated the sequence, each sequence
lasting one second. During the sighting Hill heard a whine like a
jet, which increased in intensity and when the object was hovering,
Hill heard a humming sound. The dome light went off, the noise
stopped, the whole structure glowed an intense orange, which
illuminated the ground brighter than daylight for four or five
seconds. This then went out, the three red rectangles reappeared and
the object shot off into the clouds at 45 degrees. His dog was afraid
and ran into the tent. </span></span></span><br />

Aase Trautner of Balles Gard was travelling in a taxi over
Frederick’s Bridge on a fine sunny windless day when, looking down,
she saw a long, narrow, dull silver cigar shaped object with pointed
ends, floating silently along the railway line below at treetop
level. Around its middle there was a dense cluster of light beams,
which appeared to be rotating around it at high speed, throwing off
red and pale blue sparks. As the object neared the bridge it suddenly
vanished. Aase estimated that the thing was 3-5m long and about 3-4m
below the bridge. </span></span></span><br />

46 year old professional pilot was driving south along US 89 from Ash
Fork to Prescott. While crossing the bridge over Hell’s Canyon,
about 30km south of Ash Fork he noticed red glow and several smaller
lights in the canyon to his right. He first thought that it was a
railway station but realised that it wasn’t and so turned back.
Arriving back and looking down he saw three or four dim red lights in
the 150m wide, 60m deep canyon. Somewhat unnerved he drove on again
towards Prescott. Suddenly a white light emerged from the side
tributary canyon, 30m behind and slightly to his right, at a low
altitude. . It swept a bright red light back and forth across his
car, as he accelerated up to 200kph. The thing followed him for 3km,
crossed over to his left and continued to follow him as he passed
another car. About 37km from the bridge he slowed to turn right and
as he turned, noticed a white light, with a pulsating red light on
the front, which followed him down the road for several kilometres
until he lost sight of it in a built up area on the northern
outskirts of Prescott. </span></span></span><br />

surrounded by a brilliant halo, with blue, green and red lights
around its outside and in its centre a yellow white light, too
brilliant to watch. The thing emitted a high pitched whine. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
they watched the noise and lights died down and as they walked closer
they heard a sound like heavy metal hammering. Mrs Baker and her

Baker was so afraid that Philip returned to the house and called the
undersheriff. While he was on the phone there was a loud bang and the

dog whined, pawed at its ears and had to be carried back inside. When
she went out again the object had gone. Later the two older boys went

saw a row of dull yellow-white flashing lights, which appeared to be
attached to a large box like mass. Above this structure a circular
mass was apparent consisting of several rings of blue-green lights,
with a central black disc. Some of the witnesses noticed a sort of
pole connecting the two masses, and four legs could be faintly
discerned. As they drew to a halt, the lights increased in
brilliance, blinked on and off rapidly, and a very low bang like a
shotgun was heard; the car seemed to shake in response. As they drove
off, the upper circular mass appeared to turn with them, as if
following them. The men later returned with a construction worker.
The object had gone, but three oval, one circular and one rectangular
areas of a impacted ground were found. Investigations by police and

Bennett, his son Michael and their friend Robert Groom were driving
down a country road to Black Point when they encountered a 2.4-2.7m
tall hairy humanoid stood next to a car, rocking it violently. As the
trio approached a man got out of the car and called for help, at
which the creature walked off into the forest. The trio drove on for
a short while but then turned round. They found the car but no sign
of the man or the humanoid. They reported the matter to the police
who investigated but found no trace or car, man nor beast. </span></span></span><br />

M and a companion were driving along Rt 1 from Wakefield when a large
red, crescent shaped, object appeared from the north, passed over the
road to the south, performed a tight U turn and then passed again
over the road to the north. As they drove along, the object, now a
large red point source of light paced the car at below aircraft
height and apparently quite close. The object changed speeds but
generally paced the car. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Just
prior to their turning into the east bound lanes, the object changed
colour from deep red to brilliant silvery white and crossed Rt1 in
apparent anticipation of their move. Now frightened, they turned down
Matunuck, the object again pacing, crossing as if in anticipation as
they reached Mrs M’s house, where the thing changed to a pastel
green colour. The duo severed into the yard, dived into the house and
closed. The police and investigator Donald Todd were unable to see
anything when the matter was reported and Mrs M said that just after
calling Todd, the object moved away southwest, over the ocean, at
very low altitude and moderate speed. </span><b style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>APRO Bulletin</i> 24,8 p5 citing

a large, brilliant silver-white object approached from the n orth.
The thing had a silvery metallic looking undercarriage resembling a

side of the road, shot across to the south, then back to the north,
appearing to anticipate her actions. It finally shot down the
driveway to the Sweet and Todd houses and up into the air. . Donald
Todd was alerted and saw a silvery light over trees 800hr.m to the

binoculars, the object drifted away to the west. They picked up
Eileen’s husband Warner and pursued the object, which darted back
and forth in front of them on the straight cross road. They thought
about taking a plane but the cross winds were too treacherous. The
object finally turned orange, then blood red and drifted away to the

when she 0bserved what she first thought was a fire truck, with very

She then realised that there was no side road. The lights appeared to
go under the bridge, reappearing on the left going very fast. They
then stopped just east of the bridge, maintaining an inverted L
configuration, without changing colour or intensity. There was a
vehicle parked in a lot next to the bridge. The witness was
frightened and drove rapidly on towards Prescott. </span></span></span><br />

D family were woken up by their dogs acting up and when the head of
household opened the shutters he saw a powerful red light in the
road. It was a starless dark night without any natural illumination.
He also heard a sort of indistinct murmuring by the window. By now
his wife and daughters were all awake and his step=son who lived in
the basement turned on his light. At this Mr D, through the window,
saw an intense red triangular mass, rather like a TV screen, which
seemed to be hopping about 40-60cm above the road. The thing
continued down the road, but became more rounded as it did so, its
colour changing to electric blue with a tinge of green. When it has
reached 60m from the house, the thing stood on the left side of the
road, its colour now greeny-white. Several moments later the thing
went back along the carriageway about 80m, resting on the right hand
carriageway, now looking like a green sphere. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The
dogs had now calmed down and the step son turned off the courtyard
light and returned to bed, not answering his stepfather’s appeals
for him to help in working out what the thing was. By this point the
object’s light had diminished to that of an electric light. Mr D
wanted to go out but his wife asked him not to. He went back to bed
but was unable to sleep. At 0440 the street lamps were lit and the
dogs started howling again. The family got up rapidly but the thing
was already moving at ground level, appearing as a green sphere. When
it reached their house it just disappeared. Traces were found at
the site. </span><br />

an undisclosed location a couple who had tried to telepathically
contact “space people” awoke to find their room filled with
light. They went outside as if enchanted where they floated into a
circular luminous object. They found themselves in a circular room;
there was also a curved corridor that led to an examination room, lit
by an unseen source, where there was a table. There were humanoid
beings with small mouths and noses, covered by a transparent
covering. One was a female, which took the woman witness through to
the examination room, where she climbed onto the table. Here she was
scanned by a light. There was projection showing her internal organs.
This procedure caused her reproductive organs to tingle (she had
mentioned being infertile to the beings). She then filled in forms
and re-joined her husband. He had communicated with a priest like
leader, who talked of other dimensions pollution and such topics and
then watched star images on a screen. Both awoke the next morning as
from a dream. The woman, who thought she could not have children,
later gave birth. She later had another 45 minute time lapse. </span></span></span><br />

Womack was driving along the foot of Ryan Mountain, down a wooded
country road, when a fireball about 1m diameter dropped onto the road
in front of him and began rolling down the gravel road. he drove
along slowly behind it, while it made a sharp turn to the right and
went along a small creek bridge. About 30m beyond this it left the
road and rolled into the meadow by the creek bank. As Womack got out
of his car, the ball took off over the hill, with a sound like a blow
torch. As Womack stood dazed, he heard a humming sound and saw, over
the tree above which the ball had disappeared, a huge silvery disc,
at least 45m diameter, 15 thick, was approaching. The object 90-120m
above a meadow 30m away, emitting a low hum like a turbine. A yellow
blue glow extended several metres beyond the disc. From the underside
of the machine a beam of light 3m thick appeared and began moving
slowly along the ground. As, unnerved, he began to retreat towards
his car, there was a high pitched whistle as the light seemed to
descend towards the ground, and spread out until it reached the road
like some kind of fog. As the object began descending, Womack made a
dive for his car but a red beam of light hit him in the face and he
passed out. When he recovered his senses he was driving along only
3km from his home, 40km from the scene of the incident and it was
about 0045hrs.. He suffered from anxiety, sleeplessness, feeling of
unreality and he became convinced he had been taken on board the
craft. After a series of dreams, aided by a visit to the site, where
traces of scorched earth could be seen, the memory of such an
abduction returned. He now recalled that after the red beam had hit
him he had woken up in a padded chair, with a metallic helmet on his
head, connected to some complex machinery by a cord. he was in a
large room packed with intricate devices and equipment. There were
several beings, two of whom that appeared to be leaders catching his
attention. They were humanoids with egg shaped heads and mouths, like
those of a porpoise, There were also three giant creatures about 2.5m
tall, and 6-8 little creatures about 1.5m tall, with flippers, six
thin arms with crab like hands, their bodies covered with green
warts, and they had large heads. They appeared “harmless almost
comical”. One of the leaders, whose language was “like the
croaking of a tree frog” spoke into a translating machine and told
Womack that he was their guest and gave him a sedative pill. Alleged
details of the construction of the ship, means of getting him on
board were given as were claims they were from a planet 40 light
years away. They also talked of “demons” which caused all
troubles, and which the pill had expelled, other metaphysical issues
and warnings about the hydrogen bomb etc. There was also a tour of
the two floored ship, with rooms 15x 15x 3.5m filled with complex
devices, including a sort of super X ray. The interior of the ship
was illuminated brightly but the source could not be discerned. A
metal cone was then put on his head, which gave him a sort of
mystical experience. He woke up sitting under a tree on the creek
bank watching the object take off. </span></span></span><br />

Chief Garry Moore was driving on patrol when he saw a brilliant white
light descending towards him. Fearing a collision he got out of his
car as the thing came within 60m. When he flashed at it with an
aircraft landing light, the object seemed to reply. The thing was V
shaped with a central large light than projected a beam 150m diameter
onto the ground, and smaller lights along its sides. It hovered for
4-5 minutes and then took off at speeds up to 300kph. </span></span></span><br />

Speigel and Ron Thompson were driving down Philadelphia Road, just
outside Pembroke, when a deputy radioed that a V shaped object was
approaching them. They observed a white light, approaching slowly 5-6
above a line of trees 150-180 m away. This light moved north in a
jerky fashion, its brilliance preventing them from seeing any detail.
They were joined by communications director Freeman and a reporter,
Mr Dougherty, who also observed the object stop and flare up. The
thing made no sound, but they heard numerous dogs barking. Three
deputies had a closer view and observed that the object was V shaped.
After a short time it flared up red and, pulsating every two seconds,
moved back the way it had come, in a jerky fashion. The deputies
observed the object turn a circle. The total duration of the
observation was six minutes. </span></span></span><br />

north of Pembroke, at about 80koh, when Ray drew the others attention
to five pink-red lights, flying as a unit. These lights passed in
front of the car at a descending angle, apparently landing in a field
120m to the east of the road. Each of the lights trailed a bluish
streak and did not vary in intensity or colour during their constant
shallow descent. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">At

David F (12) and three friends in the yard and porch observed the
objects land, throwing up clouds of dust. Ray drove his family home
and returned to the scene with Ron Thompson, where they discovered
circular blue patches about 30m diameter. Colonel (57) and Ethelee
(56) Lockyear driving along the Philadelphius road in the opposite
direction to the Stricklands also saw the lights. Analysis of the
spots in the filed suggested they had been caused by flares. </span><br />

Lopez was working as a disc jockey on Radio WBMJ, located on the top
floor of the Darlington Building in the Miramar sector, when he heard
three loud knocks on the outside window. Going over to the window, he
thought he saw a luminous figure in rapid movement, which seemed to
hide behind one of the external columns of the building. Willi then
remembered that he was alone in the studio and phoned a friend, Jose
Manuel, who lived in the same building. When Jose did not come up,
Willi went and opened the window, and saw, right on top of an
adjacent cooling tower , a luminous, yellow-white, saucer shaped
object, about 12m diameter, making a slight rocking movement;. The
thing was only about 1m from the building. Frightened, Willi slammed
the window shut and ripped its curtain off the hook in his fright. He
told the story over the air at the time and then Jose arrived. Willi
was ill for three days afterwards. </span></span></span><br />

Franceshi (26), a janitor at the San Lucas hospital, was coming out
of his shower to get some water from the ice box when he saw a
movement outside. He thought it was a dog so he grabbed a spade to
shoe it away. Going out he encountered a dwarf with long ears and
nose, two black blobs for its eyes, a lipless slit for a mouth and an
ape like jaw. It was walking like a “zombie or robot”, swaying
from side to side. Afraid that it was going to attack him, Orlando
hit it with the spade. This made it step back but it made no sound.
He hit out at it twice more, but the third time he lost his balance
and fell over. When he tried to get up Orlando found himself
paralysed. The 1.4m tall being was about 1.2m away. When Orlando hit
it hard on the chest with the spade, the blow sounded hard. When the
creature had gone Orlando’s strength came back and he got up. His
dog did not come to his aid or even bark. When he returned to the
house his family saw his distressed condition and called the police.
The results of the police investigation were not revealed. Orlando
was under sedation for two days. He later began to call for a
religious revival after hearing voices in his head. </span></span></span><br />

and was moving horizontally in the direction of Rugles, its colour
and brilliance remaining steady. It was perhaps 100-300m away and at

Mogford Road, south of San Antonio, in his 1959 pickup, to a nearby
store, when he saw a strange amber coloured object rise rapidly
upwards from a grove of trees about 800m into the pasture opposite
the road. This object then approached his pickup at terrific speed,
loosing altitude as it did so. As it approached, an amber primary
light on the front of the object turned to an intense cherry red.
When the object got directly over Alois’ pickup his lights and
engine went dead. At first Alois thought the object was a helicopter,
but as it hovered overhead, he saw it was a roughly globular machine,
with two projections on either side of the centre, these appeared to
be part of a rim. The underside appeared to be made of highly
polished metal, which cast a red glow, possibly reflected from the
primary light. It was tilted at a 37 to 40 degree angle, revealing a
transparent upper portion in which two occupants could be seen,
outlined against a diffuse red light. One of the occupants appeared
to have its hands on some controls, the other was looking directly at
Alois. These occupants appeared to be no more than 1.5m tall, bald,
with long prominent ears, long noses, slit like eyes, tight, firm,
wrinkled grey skin “like sharkskin”, and wiry firm build. He only
got a look at their torso’s, head, and part of the upper arm. On
the control panel Alois could see several “T” shaped handles.
They did not appear to be wearing head-dresses of any kind and he
thought they wore leathery shirts. There was no sound of a motor,
just a loud wind “like a cyclone”. As the object took off
straight up, a terrific thrust buffeted Alois’ vehicle, and the
object appeared to vanish almost instantaneously, like the turning
off of a light bulb. Alois had also noticed a strong odour like
burning copper as the object hovered over his truck that persisted in
the truck for some time. Alois also suffered from slight eye damage
and had to wear dark glasses for some months, and also some anxiety
but there were no other effects. </span></span></span><br />

Rivera was up reading late when his attention was drawn to an intense
yellow pulsating light coming from the extremity of an object
stationary on a hill slope about 450m from his suburban house. He
roused his family and observed the scene through binoculars, through
which he could make out a second, less intense, light on the other
edge and in between a whitish glare, from what appeared to eight
rectangular windows. They watched this affair for some time (accounts

sociologist and his wife had turned north off Hw 16 about 2.5km east
of where Hw 159 terminated into Hw 16 at Royal Lakes. They went onto
a country road and shortly afterwards they saw a light, about as
bright as a farm light, to their right. As they drove on they came
closer to the light, which they assumed to be on to the top of a
building. When they got within 60-150m they saw that the light was
about 20-30hrs.m into the air and there was no building beneath it.
They then saw a searchlight go on from the vicinity of this light,
directed southward, parallel to the ground. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">They
stopped the car, turned off their lights and got out. The white light
and searchlight remained stationary for about 5 seconds, to their
east and then the light began moving south in the direction to which
the searchlight was focussed. A red flashing light, followed, seconds
later, by a green flashing light, appeared, both on the side nearest
them, with the original white light furthest away. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The
couple then got back in their car, turned round and followed the
light at between 40-50 kph, while the light was doing between
55-70kph. They continued the pursuit until they reached Hw16, which
they crossed, then parked and watched this white light move out of
sight. The red and green lights were blinking in alternation, the
white light was constant. When they turned off the car engine, they
could hear a low smooth sound. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The
couple then turned back to go home and having driven 3km north, but
not yet reached the spot where the white light was first seen, they
saw another moving white light. They again stopped, turned off the
engine and got out the car. This second object followed an identical
course to the first but higher and 300m further east. They observed
this on its steady course for 3-4 minutes. A third and then a fourth
light (just red and green flashing lights) appeared. An aircraft
passed overhead; its lights were regular and they could hear the
usual aircraft sound. After this there was a fifth distant, white,
red and green, light, which they observed moving up and down in a
circular motion for 15 minutes. There was then a sixth object, with
red and green constant lights, replaced by a single white light as it
passed over. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">As
the couple continued driving they saw a stationary white light over a
field 600m away. When they arrived at their farm house they saw a
stationary white light 6-15m above the ground, between 1650-300m
away, which also turned on a spotlight. The object then began flying
slowly with red and green lights and the same low steady motor sound.

were working late into the Night. by the light of an electric lamp,
when one of them alerted the other to a luminous phenomenon to the
north, north east, over the fields, meadows and thickets. It was
discoidal or cigar shaped, fiery in colour, seen against the starry
background. It appeared to be rising slowly from the ground until it
was above the poplars, where it hovered at about 50m altitude. The
two men were unable to say if had been on the ground, but it had been
at very low altitude. It gave off a clear but thin halo from its top.
It also gave off a broad white beam sharply edged , shaped like an
inverted funnel that lit up the trees and surroundings over an area
of about 40 metres diameter. The thing was later estimated to be 15m
diameter. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Silently,
the thing resumed its ascent, increasing in speed and rising bottom
up in an oblique fashion. In the first seconds of this ascent the
luminous beam was shut off. Then this quickly became a small
red-orange ball that changed direction and headed north east at
terrific speed. Their wives who were in the house came out to see the

D (15), a boy of high academic and sporting ability, went out to
fetch in his horse, which was at the other end of the 3 acre (1.2
hectare) field/ As he did so he heard a sound like a buzzing of bees
and turned round to see an object shaped like a mantra ray, 6m long,
3m wide wing tip to wing tip, hovering 6m above a neighbour’s
vegetable garden 25m away, The thing was bobbing up and down like a
cork on water and Chuck could feel the ground vibrate. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">On
this object there were two light sources; a luminous green
rectangular section on its underside, resembling a green traffic
light, about 2.4m long, 1.2m wide, faced with a row of circular
lenses; the other, a red light on the object’s tail. On the top of
the object was an unlit, featureless raised dome. The porch light was
reflected on the body of the thing, giving it a metallic green cast. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">While
Chuck stood transfixed an olive green beam appeared, which did not
widen and which appeared to probe the neighbour’s garden. Chuck
noticed dust in the beam was swirling and the branches on a nearby
tree were swaying. . The beam proceeded to make wider probes of the
gardens and yard and when the beam illuminated the swimming pool
Chuck noticed that a blue glow surrounded the electricity wires. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The
beam then hit Chuck, who found himself; paralysed but still
conscious. He seemed to see mathematical symbols and equations, which
didn’t make sense to him, in his mind’s eye, followed by various
other scenes, such as standing on a cliff looking out a red sea, and
floating in space. During this time chuck felt very cold. When the
beam went out Chuck fell on his face and no longer felt cold. The
object was still in view. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">After
Chuck got to his feet, the buzzing got louder, and he could also hear
a metallic drumming sound. The object then moved into a vertical
orientation, the tail increased in brilliance and then became a blur.
This was followed by a purple flash, followed, 3-4 seconds later by a
loud thunderclap. The object was now just a red light in the sky,
which went straight up, curved, levelled off and then gave off a
white flash. Chuck’s parents noted his flushed appearance when they
got home. His head cold vanished overnight. </span><br />

suddenly shone a bright beam of opaque white light down onto the
lake, about 30m from the shore. At this a white glowing object
appeared under the water, just below the surface, and commenced to
move towards them, illuminating the bottom of the 4.5m deep lake.
When this underwater object got within 6m of the dock, one of the
lads threw a large rock at it. The thing seemed to break into
sections, which then reunited. The aerial object then split into two;
the two sections moved off in separate directions and performed
various manoeuvres before shooting off. </span></span></span><br />

Park Gardens Merida Mendez was tslking to Georgina and Norma Toro in
their back garden, when Norma drew their attention to a circular
yellow object, with a powerful light, hovering at 60 degrees
elevation over a nearby house. The thing consisted of three parts; in
the central part were windows that emitted a brilliant green light.
As the women watched, the object started to rise, making a “put
put” sound as it did so and a red light came on inside it. After
the object had climbed higher, it circled the area for some minutes
and then disappeared. </span></span></span><br />

Scothern was looking out of the window towards land to the south east
when she spotted an object resembling three tennis balls in a
triangular formation, and descending, steadily pulsating. She called
her husband (The investigations officer for a local UFO group, NAPRA)
and her father. The three watched the object for about a minute as it
moved over a barn at very low altitude and descended behind some
trees 30m away, at about 15-25 kph. Mr Scothern ran into the field. At first he could see nothing but then saw a white glow emanating
from a small hollow, surrounded by trees. He ran back to alert the
others, but when they returned there was nothing to be seen, though
Mrs Scothern thought she heard a buzzing sound. The site, a small
pond surrounded by a mud bank, was investigated by NAPRA, who found
four marks that resembled footprints 32.5-34cm long, 15cm wide and
separated by a stride of 112.5 cm. A sort of metal coil was also
found at the site. These seem to have been made by high pressure.
About an hour later three people at Great Sutton 19km to the east of
Rainhill saw an identical formation of lights pass over. </span></span></span><br />

on the thing he saw that it was made of a dull silver-grey non

Frost had just finished attending to a sick horse when her dog
started acting up. Looking through her landing window Jeanette saw a
red light flying about 4m above the ground, 12m away. She feared it
was an aircraft about to crash but there was so sound expect for the
humming of the electricity wires. The thing appeared to be the size
of the 5.5x 6m granary store and had a small flashing yellow orange
light and larger yellow orange ones. The thing itself was gold
coloured and bullet shaped. As Jeanette went to investigate thing was
no longer there. </span></span></span><br />

driving home from a baseball game when Barbara suddenly screamed.
Carroll thought she had started labour until they saw flashing lights
hovering, silently, over a thick grove of trees. Their car was
directly under the lights which were on a large diamond shaped object
hovering 9-12m above the trees, which ere about 12m tall, The thing
had flat ends 2-2.5m across or larger, a red flashing light and two
spotlights on top. It moved soundlessly at 65kph down the gravel
road, after hovering perfectly stationary. About two months later
Carroll went back to the site and found a larger burned area, with
four imprints 5.85m apart, and 7.5cm deep in the hard rocky soil,
Cattle would not eat around these imprints. </span></span></span><br />

was as bright as the sun, with well defined edges and an apparent
diameter of 50-60cm and its colour was between yellow and pale orange
and was 3-4m above the ground. The thing had no other features. </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Pascal

moved. There was no railway line at this spot and in any case the
light was too high up. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The
following night his brother Regis (21) and a friend were out in the

away, a similar sphere, about 3m from the ground. It was a bright
luminous thing with an estimated diameter of 2m. They stopped as the
friend wanted to walk back to Fretterans down a side path. At this
point the car’s headlights failed and the light from the sphere
seemed to lit up the car interior. It also lit up the house behind,
so that they could erven see the shutters. This light was intense but
not blinding especially towards the side. The thing was absolutely
stationary during the observation and did not move at all and made no
sound. The crops near the thing moved about a bit, but Regis through
that might have been the slight breeze. Regis got out to see if that
clarified his vision but he saw the same thing,. After about 30
seconds he got the shakes but did not it that was due to fear or not

Marlot (22), a foreman (the son of the local police chief) and
Sylvianne Uyttersport, an employee of an assurance company were
parked in a country lane leading to a farm and boarded by the wall of
a chateau and its wood on this dark starry night, up by the wall with
the lights off. They then saw a light moving behind the chateau wood,
its upper portion was seen through the trunks of the trees, the lower
portion hidden by the wall. The light crossed the path behind the
gate, and then a small hedge and they could then see it in full as it
slowly and silently crossed above a barley field, just in front of
the two trees which marked the end of the hedge, stopping in front of
the final one. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">It
was shaped like two joined triangles forming a lozenge shape, the
left triangle being sharply delineated, the right more fuzzy.
Together they were 4m long, 2,5m high and were very brilliant, though
they did not light up the surroundings. The thing hovered by the
tree, 50cm above the crops for some minutes. Then suddenly in a few
seconds a dark band appeared to come from the rear of the right hand
side of the object, the one that was fuzzier, moved to the left and
then disappeared, leaving the thing as it was before. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The

west. A search party was organised,. At 0035, one of the searchers
reported seeing an orange light moving towards him, swinging back and
forth. The light then approached and then went out, making him very
afraid. Another of the searchers, Patti Morris, noticed a strange

Bartelleau had woken and got up for some water and was returning to
bed when he noticed, though the window, a large orange light.
Surprised by this he thought of waking his parents but decided
instead to get his camera but found that it had no film in it. He
went back for a better look at the thing. It was a vertical cigar,
about 3.5m high, 1m wide hovering 7or 8 above the ground and was
orange in colour and surrounded by a sort of halo of light orange
mist. It emitted reddish flashes. After some minutes these flashes
became ever more intense and brilliant and the object became clearer
as it turned horizontally towards Bartelleau, keeping the same
altitude and then at incredible speed receded to a tiny luminous
point. This observation lasted for about 3 minutes. After the orange
object had left Bartelleau saw five white lights, similar to the
above but located in different places, which lights faded rapidly.
All of this took place in silence. The main object had been about 25m
away, behind the houses facing him. During the time of the sighting a
car drove slowly along the street as if its occupants were looking at
the light. </span></span></span><br />

Grundill (15) was sitting listening to the radio and looking out of the

balloon glided into view around the gable end of the house. At first
he thought that it was an aircraft in difficulties, but then it
stopped and hovered over a 6m high tree a few metres away. It
resembled a smooth, silvery aircraft, with a long fuselage, tall
tail, two short wings, a ball gear on the front underside and a dome
on top. There was no variation in colour, even for this cockpit.
Geoffrey turned down the radio and opened the window. The object was
making no sound and the surroundings were unusually quiet. The object
was then manoeuvring, giving the impression that it was struggling to
get free, crossed over the lamp post and narrowly missed the
rooftops. It then backed off and stopped again. Geoffrey got out his
binoculars in time to see smoke pore out of the underside and slowly
envelope the object, which melted away into the smoke, which then
faded away. The observation lasted about 5-10 minutes. Geoffrey was
cold and shaking after the incident. He noticed that birds seemed to

and her girlfriend J were asleep, with another friend, B, in another
part of the house. LB awoke to hear voices and something seemed to
communicate with her through telepathy. There was a whining noise and
she was unable to move. She managed to rouse herself with an effort
and noticed J lying in a trance like sleep. She shook J awake then
noticed that an hour had passed. They went into the kitchen, then
heard the whining noise again, as the room was illuminated with an
intense yellow-white light shining in through the window. This lasted
60-90 seconds. After the investigation L said she had remembered
seeing small, rounded headed, beings come through the closed door and
stand around her bed. One had acted as spokesman and asked her to
come with them. Under hypnotic regression she recalled a very small,
thin, bald creature stood by her bed, while further back were a group
of even smaller beings with egg shaped heads, deep set lidless eyes
that emitted a powerful, painful light, and a hole for a mouth. They
transformed into light and took her though the walls into a dome
shaped dark object in a nearby field. It was emitting a humming
sound. She was taken into a domed room, which seemed larger than the
object, where she was put on a sort of table and examined with light
that seemed to drain her energy away. Previous to this she had stood
in front of a mirror that allowed her to see the blood going through
her veins. They wanted her to go onto a mother ship, but she refused
and they returned her to the apartment. The girlfriend JB had a
confused memory of the incident, and under hypnotic regression has
vague recollections of an abduction. </span></span></span><br />

Probably astronomical, the light from the headlight making the light
look much dimmer. Some idea of the witness’s state of mind can be
found from his claim that the thing moved “hundreds if not
thousands of miles of miles away” when he flashed his headlights,
though the thing was still visible.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A couple driving from Boulder to Lamar on a deserted road on this bright morning saw a metallic elongated object with a central hole, about half the length of an American football field, at about 100m altitude. The couple watched the object for 30-45 minutes, from the other side of a barbed wire fence. The woman sent it a mental message, at which 3-4 small white clouds appeared travelling east to west, followed by a large cloud that covered the metallic thing. When it had passed the object had gone, so they continued their journey. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Years later under hypnotic regression the woman recalled wanted to run towards the object, but being restrained by her husband. Nevertheless she found herself inside the object, where she encountered two beings, male and female, 1.9m tall, thin, with long blond hair and eyelashes and white skin, dressed in blue jumpsuits. They gave her a message of peace and told her to return. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Geoffrey Grundill (15) was sat listening to the radio and looking out of the window on this hot sunny evening, when an object shaped like a balloon glided into view around the gable end of the house. At first he thought that it was an aircraft in difficulties, but then it stopped and hovered over a 6m high tree a few metres away. It resembled a smooth, silvery aircraft, with a long fuselage, tall tail, two short wings, a ball gear on the front underside and a dome on top. There was no variation in colour, even for this cockpit. Geoffrey turned down the radio and opened the window. The object was making no sound and the surroundings were unusually quiet. The object was then manoeuvring, giving the impression that it was struggling to get free, crossed over the lamp post and narrowly missed the rooftops. It then backed off and stopped again. Geoffrey got out his binoculars in time to see smoke pore out of the underside and slowly envelope the object, which melted away into the smoke, which then faded away. The observation lasted about 5-10 minutes. Geoffrey was cold and shaking after the incident. He noticed that birds seemed to avoid that tree for some time afterwards. </span><br />

When first seen the light shone from the object’s front and rear, and the dome, which protruded from the object’s top, was lit by a dull green light and appeared divided by metallic bars, while the dome’s interior appeared translucent. From its underside, a bright light appeared to be sweeping the area below. There were also a single red light on its fuselage and two white lights on either side of a central location.

He first thought was that it was a “flying saucer”, but then dismissed it as a tank truck, even though one could not have been driven into the field without him noticing and carried on working. When he went into that field a couple of days later he felt hot and unwell, and when he returned after lunch, he came across a crushed area 9-12m diameter, in which there was some purple-red substance that was sticky to touch. Analysis of this proved negative. Three days later, while in a field with UFO investigators, they heard a strange “unearthly” female voice speaking in an unknown language, and fled from the scene. </span><br />

On the end of the run he turned round to come back down the field when he was confronted with a cylindrical object, shaped like a jar, with something resembling a sort of wide dish or hat on top and V shaped feet. .

Then when he had completed his turn, the thing emitted a second flash; he heard a high whistle and one of the panes in his tractor cracked. At this point Velasco ran off sown the high street.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Farmer Richard Gustafson and his girlfriend, reporter January Maddox, were driving to Junction City when, as they drove past Skiddy Cemetery, they saw a large shiny object in the sky. On it were four cylinders, three in parallel and one below the middle one. The thing descended rapidly, taking 3-5 seconds to reach the ground. The couple first thought that it was a plane crash and rushed to the site. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When they got over a rise, they found the field on fire, but no trace of any plane. There were three rings of fire, about 1.5m diameter, burning in the grass, about 4.5-6m, apart in a triangle shape. Two men arrived with sacks to put the fire out. January took some Polaroid photographs of the site. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mr Malichev, an artist, was painting in a field near this town, when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around he saw a disc shaped object about 12m in diameter, with three antennae. It was on or close to the ground and near it stood two men and a woman, the latter appearing to be the leader. By telepathy they invited him to go with them. He declined and the beings re-entered the disc, which took off, splitting into 8 parts and then reuniting, becoming a rectangle, torus, cylinder and finally disc again as it landed in the field again. This time Malichev went on board and he was taken to a planet with three moons. On the voyage, which lasted about two hours, he saw a huge face on a screen and encountered his dead best friend among the beings. They showed him a diagram of a body, the outline of one, then just a point in the abdomen, which was supposed to illustrate the three stages of life </span><br />

He then saw about 80cm above the ground, about 20m away an object that was turning on its axis. As it turned Emaliano saw that the thing was a metallic cylinder surmounted by a cupola that reminded him of a sombrero and a sort of V shaped structure on its underside. On its side were what looked like a window and door. As the thing came within 3m, Emaliano was struck by a deafening whistle, and then by a beam which drilled a hole in the tractor’s rear view mirror. He drove off in fear. His health deteriorated after the incident and his wife blamed his death on the incident, even though it occurred years later. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>MACHYNLLETH (POWYS : WALES)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Teenager Trevor P a teenage holiday maker was walking up Wyfla Hill (75m), and on reaching the brow of the hill was unnerved to see in front of him, no more than 15m away, a strange object. It consisted of a large circular base, about 12m diameter, 2.1-2.4m high, surmounted by a hemispherical dome. There were large circular lights, about 1.5m diameter, positioned around the base, shiny brightly with a colour that Trevor could not recognise, and which cast no light on the ground. Between these lights (of which there were about 7) there were deep groves set in the base, which was silvery and rounded at the edges. The dome was transparent and at its apex was another light, about 1.5m across, also emitting an unknown colour. In the centre of the dome, which had a smaller diameter than the base, was a sort of metallic unit 4.5m long and 2.1m high at its highest point. This consisted (left to right), a vertical side, eventually dropping away to the right at 45 degrees, then levelling into a horizontal top that stepped down twice in an irregular pattern. No marks could be distinguished on this unit. Also in the dome were two animate forms that resembled massive, irregular pieces of jelly, about 2m by 2m , which were of a translucent whitish colour, and inside of which appeared to be hundreds of tiny white disks, about 15cm diameter. These forms constantly changed shape, though their masses appeared to be constant. One of these forms was in front of the metal unit, the other one half hidden behind it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After crouching, frightened but curious, for about 20-25 seconds, Trevor saw a panel beginning to open on the extreme right of the base. This was the same size as the entities and the one in full view started lowering itself through. Trevor then rushed down the hill to his father, then, for no apparent reason, ran back up to the grounded object. The entity was back in its original position and the hatch was closed. Then the lights on the side and top began to flash simultaneously, blue, brown, green (the colours of the surrounding countryside). These seemed to flash faster and grow larger until they almost enveloped the whole object, which seemed to blend into the background and disappeared. Trevor then ran down the hill saying he had seen a jellyman. When his father investigated there was nothing to be seen. Trevor later developed tonsillitis, followed by psychosomatic blindness that alternated between the eyes, severe headaches, insomnia, a period of total blindness which then cleared somewhat. This was followed by periods of extreme aggression. </span><br />

She first thought it was an aircraft, then, as it came nearer and there was no sound, she thought it was a helicopter. She watched, transfixed, as the object descended to hover at 7.5-9m altitude, above the trees in a neighbouring garden. The object was like a humming top, tilted towards her, revealing two portholes through which she saw the heads of two occupants. They wore silver suits and divers helmets, had very fair complexions and staring blue eyes. The object, which was silvery all over, started to move off she went to tell her husband, but he said she was “seeing things”. The investigators felt that the witness was prone to fantasy and had a “disorganised memory”. </span><br />

It was travelling very slowly in a north easterly direction, coming across the base fence as it did so. Two of the men, sergeants, went back into the building, while the third man, a radar technician, walked towards the object. The thing was shaped like a rugby ball, with three light, red white and yellow set in a sort of T shape on its top. On the top of the object was a sort of nozzle, pointing towards the ground and emitting an intense light, the rest of the object had a dull grey metallic appearance and seemed to be about 12m long. It emitted a faint hum as it moved along, eventually stopping 3m above the ground 5m away from the witness. Then something like a sliding door appeared in the thing’s side curved round to hit the witness, making him realise that he was on the edge of the roof and in danger of falling off. The thing then changed course and flew off to the east at high speed, disappearing in three or four seconds. The whole observation lasted about 10-15 seconds. </span><br />

But as he came closer he saw it was a round object, with rounded windows and triangular lights, standing on three legs. In the object he observed four human like beings. They were about 1.5m tall with long, pale, thin faces. high foreheads, slanting eyes, high cheek bones which came down a sharp chin. He estimated they weighted c 55 kilograms. Three of the beings appeared to be keeping Danie under observation, while the fourth work at some sort of instrument panel. When Danie moved to get closer a flap near one of the windows opened and a stream of light hit him in the face, causing his nose to bleed, so he continued his observation from a safe distance. He watched the object and its occupants for about 30 minutes, after which it took off, without a sound, almost hitting a windmill, and disappeared within seconds. At the site five marks (four on the outside, one in the centre), 10cm long, 2cm wide were found an equal distance apart on the hard ground as if a heavy object had rested there. Danie picked up a piece of glass he believed was sand fused at the time. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Darryl T and his wife Toni were camping at a spot 130km SW of Boise, Idaho and had stopped by a small creek to cool off, when they both noticed what looked like a plane that flew silently past the hillside. They then saw a shiny object sitting on an adjoining hillside across the valley. They didn’t think anything of it, got in their truck, which started unusually quickly and drove better than normal on the gradients. Despite their unusually rapid drive they arrived home two hours later than usual on this route. Darryl began to suffer from disabling depression while Tony claimed enhanced psychic abilities. Under hypnotic regression they recalled discussing their different perceptions of the aircraft, then walking towards the object, as if in a trance, Toni 3m behind Darryl. When he reached the object, Darryl felt the surface was like Teflon. A sort of opening appeared and a ladder materialised. Darryl went in. Toni could not remember going in, but remembered the octagonal door, and being inside a place with dark walls on which there were small lights. Under further regression, Toni recalled that when in the room with the lights, one wall became a doorway through which she could see another room where Darryl was lying strapped down on his back on a table. The room was white, had curved walls and a couple of chairs by a small table. A strange instrument was hanging over Darryl. One wall had a round window, which was black at first, then, as if a shade had been pulled up, showed, outside, clouds, then a view of the earth. Then a doorway opened on the opposite wall, and in walked two beings, 1.7 and 1.55m tall, with dark grey wrinkled skin and balloon like fingers. They had no ears and only slits for eyes, nose and mouth, and wore dark grey uniforms. They spoke to Toni with a sound like buzzing bees, but she could understand them to say that they meant no harm, hadn’t intended to follow Darryl, but with her being psychic, she could handle the situation. They then examined Darryl, scanning his body with the machine, which produce a pin beam of light. They then manipulated his arm. which had been injured in boyhood, back straight again. Darryl was unable to open his eyes during this time, but felt overpowered by the creatures’ love, which seemed to be the cause of his depression. Regression was therapeutic and appeared to clear the depression. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ricardo Villanueva (36) and his wife, Margarita Ardiles (32) were driving in their motor van when Margarita saw what she thought was a meteor. Shen then realised that there were other, similar, objects. Ricardo joked that these things were “flying saucers” but he rapidly became afraid and began to accelerate. Almost immediately of these objects swooped down at his van at terrific speed, causing Margarita to grasp her husband in panic. The thing was a sort of huge, fiery, intensely luminous orange ball, which stationed itself behind the van at about 30m from the side of the road. Ricardo was intent on accelerating, while Margarita hid her face in her hand. Ricardo was dazzled by the reflection of the object in his driving mirror for a few moments. The object then rose up swiftly, receding to a pin point of light and then vanishing. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Four people, including a police officer, watched an unusual object that moved slowly and low altitude across the road they were on. The object was a white disc 60m long, which was rotating between two narrow, 60m long, cylinders. The disc was titled at a 30 degree angle to the cylinders and appeared to be attached to them. The cylinders carried bright yellow-orange lights on each end, while square areas around the disc emitted a flashing yellow light. The witnesses observed the thing until it was gone from sight. The object made no sound as it travelled along at about 160kph. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sergeant Charles L Moody, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, stationed at Holloman Air Force Base, had driven into an area of the desert, where the city lights were not visible, in order to view a meteor shower. He was sat on the front fender of his car, smoking, when he was shocked to see a huge metallic, faintly luminous, disc shaped object drop out of the sky about 90m away, He was puzzled by the unusual configuration of the aircraft, which appeared to be about 15m long, and 5.5-6m wide. It came to down to a height of 4.5-6m, wobbled like a top, stabilised, then came towards the car at walking pace. Realising it was something unusual, Moody got back into the car, only to find that it would not start, that the lights would not go on, and it appeared the car had no battery at all. By now the object had stopped still about 20m away. Moody heard a high pitched sound like a dental drill. He saw, on the centre right of the object, an oblong shaped window 1.5m long, 1m wide, through which he could see shadowy human forms. The humming stopped, he began to go numb, then he next remembered sitting in his car, while the object took off, going out of sight in seconds. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He drove rapidly back home and was surprised to see that it was now 0300. He was pale and upset, He developed a pain in his back and a rash on the lower part of his body. It appeared that using some sort of auto-hypnosis, he obtained “recall” of the missing 90 minutes. he claimed contact with beings 1.5m tall, weight 110-130 pounds, with large hairless heads, somewhat larger than human eyes, very small ears, small nose and thin lips. They had black, skin tight, suits, save for one in a silvery suit, who spoke to Moody. The inside of the craft was as clean as an operating theatre and was lit by a light, the source of which could not be determined. Moody was touched on the back and legs with a rod, taken into a small dim room which descended to a room about 7.5m across with a huge carbon rod going through its centre. Around this were three glassy spheres, filled with crystals, with a rod at each end. This, he was told, was the drive unit. There was a large black box at the other end of the room, the purpose of which he was asked not to reveal. Further talks followed. Later he recalled that as he sat in his car it became enveloped in a glow, and two beings glided towards him. he fought the beings, lost consciousness, then came to on a table in a room, with the white suited leader, whose face was white-grey, like a mask. He also added that the two rooms he was were larger than the external dimensions of the craft. The being claimed that limited contact would be made over the next twenty years, and that several races were co-operating. </span><br />

The car engine, lights and radio all failed and the car began to warm up, as though it was a warm summer day. He saw that the inverted light cone, bottom diameter 4-5m, came from the underside of a round object about 10m in diameter, into which it then retracted. The thing was about 20m altitude and had things like domes on the underside. He took three photographs with his automatic patrol car camera, before getting out for a better look. As he did so, the thing took off vertically and silently at great speed. The photographs showed a light source and he passed the film to the Danish Air Force. </span><br />

When he got to within 80m of the thing he saw that it was a disc, surmounted by a dome, which was lit from within and from this light he could see a humanlike figure silhouetted. When Platsev got within 30m he saw another, similar, figure inside the dome. As he moved still closer he encountered a sort of barrier and lost consciousness. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When Platsev came to he set out to get at the thing, but as he ran towards it, the thing retreated, staying a constant 25m ahead.

The thing landed again on the other side of the road but when Platsev approached again, the thing took off once more and headed towards Voronezh town at speed. It appeared the incident lasted about 1 hour, but to Platsev it seemed only 15 minutes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mrs Sandra Larson a cocktail waitress and country singer was being driven to Bismark, with her 19 year old daughter Jackie, by 20 year old LM, a friend of Jackie’s. When about 70km west of Fargo on IS94 they heard a terrific rumbling and the sky was lit by a bright flash. Glancing out of the window, they saw 8-10 glowing orange spheres coming out of the southern sky, eastwards and groundwards at 30 degrees. The objects, one large, the others smaller, came within 15m, stopping 6m above the ground over a grove of trees. Three of the objects shot away, as did half of one of the others, which seemed to split in some way. Though doing 80kph the party felt frozen in their seats, and, when they recovered their wits, Jackie was in the back seat, where before she had been sat between the driver and her mother. On stopping at Tower City the time was found to be 0523, indicating a time loss of somewhat more than an hour. On seeing a TV programme on the Hill case, Sandra, who had experienced an unusually heavy menstrual flow on reaching Bismark and who had began to suffer from nightmares, became increasingly disturbed. Hypnotic regression was undertaken, during which Sandra described how the objects landed, the car being dragged to a spherical object the size of a large house, just above the ground. She next recalled lying on a long narrow table, strapped down, with LM strapped on a vertical table. Her clothing had been removed and she was examined by one or more large beings with glaring eyes, which stared out of a face that was wrapped up like a mummy. An instrument rubbed cold liquid over her body, a sort of knife with a cotton swab on the end scraped her nose and, in some way, her brain was taken out of her body and put back differently in a way which reduced her autonomy. Sandra and LM were then floated out of the object back to the car, which was in a ditch about 60m from the landed object. Under regression all that Jackie could recall was standing in a field. Sandra also recalled operating a machine with switches and an examination of her sexual organs. During the investigation additional encounters were reported and Jackie developed an episode of dissociation. </span><br />

It was aluminium grey coloured metallic looking object, about 7m long, rather more than that in width, and about 3m high. As Cyrus arrived abreast of it, the underside of thing lit up with a phosphorescent glow. It then glided towards the car at bonnet level and shot out a dazzling light as bright as the sun. Cyrus put up his arms to protect his head and the car slipped into a 20m deep ditch. The object shot up, almost at once, into the air and took up a position, silently, directly above the car, emitting a red light, which dimmed and brightened several times. Cyrus seems to have had an about 30 seconds gap in his memory, coming to his sense when another motorist, coming from the opposite direction, opened the door for him. This man had seen the object swoop on Cyrus’s car from a distance of 150m, and had feared that the car was about to explode. Cyrus suffered from shock, speechlessness during the incident, extreme sleepiness, he would fall asleep if not active all the time, and black patches before his eyes one morning two days after the incident.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Service engineer Alan Fallows (22) was driving his service van from Wakefield to Mossley, when just after Holmfirth; he entered hill mist, which reduced visibility down to 15m. As he approached Wessenden Head, he noticed a white shape by the side of the road. Stopping, he saw an object which appeared to be the size of a farmhouse, 250 degrees from his location. The object, which was 100m away, was shaped like a finless barrage balloon and emitted a light which appeared to create a sort of tunnel through the mist. The only mark on the object was a lack circular ring, 1m diameter, on the rear underside. The object now began to move towards Alan, so he turned off his headlights. Coming within 18m the object turned slightly. Using the marker posts (1.2m by 150mm by 50mm), Alan was able to assess that the object approached within 7.6m as it cleared to posts by 2m. Using the road as a guide, investigators calculated that the object was 7.5m long and wide and 4.5m high at the front, tapering to 6m wide, 3.6m high at the rear. It resembled a huge egg with a flattened base, was coloured white, and resembled a large plastic bag with a light inside. As the object passed across the road and down the valley, now back at ground level, Alan saw that it was being followed by two sheep, one of which was bleating, this being the only sound Alan heard during the episode. The object followed the valley until it was lost to sight behind an outcrop. As the thing disappeared from sight, Alan felt a popping in his ears.

A moment later it disappeared behind hills. As he was approaching Kamloops a few minutes later, he noticed two lights, one red, the other green, about 10m apart, moving slowly. They almost stopped, a light came on and Sanborn saw what looked like a cabin between the lights. A door opened and a man, wearing horseshoe shaped headgear with red and green lights, seemed to jump out. He fell 15m, then the light went out. The object then started off again, veering to the left at great speed. He was informed that there was no aerial activity at that time. </span><br />

The beings communicated that they wanted her to go with them so that they could collect information. She was taken by the elbows and led out through the front door and then flown up to an object like the one seen at Gilroy. She was floated into the thing through a central core and up a ramp, through three layers, until she reached a circular room with an emerald floor.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Michio Hikawa (19) and Takeshi Furuya (18) had stopped in the parking lot of the Southern Alps National Park, while out on an evenings drive in Michio’s father’s Suzuki car. Takeshi became agitated, saying that he could see children that were dressed like beggars, and girls in white clothes, 1m tall. Michio saw nothing and turned on the car’s headlights, which Takeshi’s said made the beings disappear. While they were wondering about this, the car was pulled back several metres so rapidly that Takeshi fell forward, Michio holding on the steering wheel, was not much affected. This pulling motion was repeated twice more despite the car being parked on level ground with the parking brake firmly on. Frightened, they drove back to town at high speed. As conversation turned to “spacemen” Takeshi remembered that the figures had yellow, glowing eyes, and that he had seen something like a cow’s hoof rubbed down the window on his side. Going back to town and meeting their friends (who, however, refused to accompany them back to the spot) allowed them to pluck up courage to return. The car was again pulled several times, on one occasion they were actually able to see the wheels spinning when they got out. They called out with no response. The next day Mr Michio Snr noted marks on the car, and on examination, a piston was found to be broken and the battery was surprisingly low.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Robert Suffern (27),a carpenter, was watching TV, when he received a phone call from his sister, Mrs Shirley Greer, who said she had seen a glow in the sky, and wondered if his barn was on fire. He went outside but saw nothing, though he heard the cattle moving about. He then called Shirley again to come and baby-sit, as his wife was out for the evening. When she arrived, he drove off in his car. he saw nothing until he turned on to a side road and encountered a circular object about 2.4-2.7m high, 3.5-4m diameter, the surface of which was crinkled and was the colour of the dull side of aluminium foil. It resembled a disc sitting on a half disc with a squat, stubby protuberance beneath. There was no sound and after a moment the object took off into the night. Then, turning for home along the 3 Mile Lake Road, Robert encountered, no more than 3-4.5m away, a short figure, 1.2 to 1.5m tall with disproportionately broad shoulders. It wore a silvery, one piece, suit, and its head was covered with a white globe. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The being was on the grassy shoulder of the road and about to cross from Robert’s right to left. It suddenly pivoted and turned towards the pasture, reached up with its hands, grabbed the fence post, and vaulted over without any effort, its movements agile “like an ape or midget”. Robert then returned home and put the children to bed. The TV was on, then the sound, followed by the picture faded out for several seconds. Going to the door, Robert saw an orange fluorescent light heading out to the lake, following the lie of the land. Her then called the authorities. No traces were found. He later claimed that three men “from the government” came down and told him everything there was no know about “the space people” and the government’s co-operation with them. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>OXFORD (MAINE : USA)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">David Stephens (21), a Vietnam War veteran, and his room-mate Glen Gray (18), both night shift mill workers, were in their trailer listening to records when they heard an explosion outside. They saw nothing but decided to go for a drive, Gray suggesting Lake Thompson. They had gone less than 2km down Rt 26, when their car, apparently on its own accord, went onto a back road top Oxford. The journey seemed unusually smooth and lasted only two minutes (it was about 8km long). The same song was playing on the radio at both the entrance and exit to the road. They continued out of Oxford along the eastern shore of Lake Thompson, encountering a group of cows sat in a field, moving their heads from side to side. A short distance further along they saw two white lights in a corn field, shining onto the road. They thought it was a truck and stopped. They then saw the lights take off, making them think it was a helicopter. They rolled down the window but heard no sound and saw that the object had an assortment of green, blue and yellow lights around its body that went out as it rose above the trees in front of the field.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They now saw it was a cylindrical object, very large and elongated, only 6-9m from the car, They rolled up the window, locked the doors and drove off with the cylinder in pursuit. About 1.6km down the road they saw what looked like bright stars. Their next recollection was of being stopped on the right side of the road 1.6km from the cornfield with their widows down and doors unlocked. When they looked at each other, each thought the other’s eyes were strangely orange. They saw a light in the sky, headed back whence they had come, then turned back south again to a gravel road by Tripp Pond, where they saw the cylinder hovering about 150m from the car. As they had turned into this road, their radio had died. The object rose up to the SE at 80 degrees, now about 450m away. Within 45-60 minutes of being stuck on this road, two discs with red, green and blue lights performed an aerial ballet, skimmed across the water of the pond, then ascended at right angles in a stepped fashion. As mist then arose out of the pond and entire scene became totally distorted. They became engulfed in this mist, only the cylinder being visible and a voice on the radio said it was going to be a clear sunny day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They were able to start the car at 0530 and arrived at the Stephens home at 0700, where they experienced light headedness, burning eyes, sore throats, loss of co-ordination, chills, soreness and loosening of teeth and mental impressions of a voice saying “we are not done with you yet. We are coming back with you.” When the cylinder took off, the clouds seemed to follow it, then two ducks, two geese, two more ducks went by, and the cows got up in pairs. Sequela included hallucinations, , poltergeists and MIB, other members of the Stephens family also being involved. . Stephens underwent regression under Budd Hopkins, a procedure which Gray refused. Under the regression, Stephens recalled being out of the car as the twin lights hit it, Gray being left behind. he was taken into a circular room 9m diameter, where he was joined by a creature 1.35m tall, dressed in a black, paper like, robe that stretched to the floor. The being had a mushroom shaped head, two arms ending in hands with three webbed fingers and a single thumb, browless white eyes, small flat nose with two nostrils, no visible mouth or ears, and paper shoes on its feet. he was taken into another, brighter lit, room, where there were three more similar creatures and a good deal of equipment. He was put on a table, stripped and given a medical examination; blood, hair and finger nail samples being taken, and given an injection of a brown liquid. He struck at one of the creatures without effect. The creatures seemed to telepathically tell him not to be afraid, and that they had been watching him for some time. He was then permitted to dress and returned to the circular room and thence to the car. The creatures were bald, had thin limbs and already knew Stephens’ name. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Staff Sergeant Danny K Lewis of the 42nd police unit, was on guard duty in the ammunition storage area at the north end of Loring Air Force Base, when he observed what he first thought was a low flying aircraft entering the base, It was at about 100m altitude, and had a steady red and strobing white light. At the same time an unidentified target was noted on the control tower radar screen. Attempts to communicate with the aerial object, which descended to 50m less than 300m from the nuclear storage area, were futile and there were fears that it was a hostile helicopter, leading to a general alert. The thing eventually moved off towards Grand Falls. </span><br />

It emitted coloured lights, which blended together as if in a heat haze. There was then a general alert on the base and these witnesses, who had driven into a secure area without permission, retreated. </span><br />

Leah and Anne were in the kitchen, the children playing in another room, when Brian went to the door with his dog. The animal came back in terror, followed by Brian, who was pale and shaken, saying that strange light was outside. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They went into a bedroom, from where they could see a red-orange light in a tree in the back yard. Lea almost pushed Brian outside to investigate but they both became paralysed. They were able to observe an intense, sharp edged, fiery, orange-red sphere, about 15-20cm behind the tree. Leah felt peaceful when she looked at this thing. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They went back into the bedroom, where they were joined by the children. After some minutes the light left. The three adults talked in kitchen for about 30 minutes.

It had square windows. As this object hovered over a wooded area it began spinning and a small glowing sphere, about 1m diameter, was ejected out of the bottom. At this point the car’s lights and engine went out. After the red ball had disappeared, blue landing gear descended from the bottom of the cylinder, which appeared to land in the woods. When the cylinder disappeared from sight, the car engine started and the night sounds of the wood, insects, which had been silent during the thing’s presence, started up again. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>HEBER (ARIZONA : USA)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Michael Rogers (28) and his six man wood cutting crew (Travis Walton (22), Ken Peterson, John Goulette, Steve Pierce, Allen Dalis (21) and Dwayne Smith) were driving back to Snowflake from their work in the Sitgreaves National Forest about 19km south of Heber, when, as they drove through the trees, Walton and Dalis, who were passengers in the front cab driven by Rogers, noticed a glow among the trees and drew the attention of the men who were smoking in the back to hit. As they reached a small clearing in the wood their attention was drawn to a glowing object hovering about 5-6m above a pile of freshly cut wood, about 30m away. It was an oval object 4.5-6m diameter and 3.5-3m deep. It was a dim amber colour with opaque dividers. It was encircled by a narrow rim, giving it the appearance of two shallow dishes placed rim to rim and was surmounted by a milky white dome. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Walton jumped down from the truck and ran towards the machine. At close quarters it resembled a sort of giant light bulb with no surface features, and which was emitting beeping sound. As Walton watched, the object began to wobble on its axis, emitting sounds like those from a generator. The object was observed to project a blue-green light at Walton, hitting him the upper chest, blinding and stunning him, and, according to Peterson, flinging him to the ground stiffly. This panicked the crew into driving out of the area at breakneck speed. As they drove away they saw a light take off at speed to the north-east. They then decided to return to see what had happened to Walton. On arriving at the site they saw some heel marks in the ground but no sign of the man. Searches carried out on the 6th through to 9th found no trace of him and he did not resurface until between 2330 and 2355 on the night of the 11th. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Walton could recall awakening in pain and with a metallic taste in his mouth, lying on his back as if on a table, with a luminous rectangle which gave off a soft white glow. He was aroused from his daze by the sight of three creatures, less than 1,5m tall, standing near him. They had huge domed bald heads, with no eyebrows or eyelashes, which gave Walton the feeling that they were huge foetuses. They had large brown eyes and were dressed in loose fitting brown coveralls with caps and facemasks similar to those of surgeons. They appeared to be carrying out some sort of medical examination (Walton in his daze had thought he was in hospital until he saw these creatures clearly). Walton jerked off the table, knocking off a plastic strap and pushed one of the creatures, which seemed oddly soft to the touch and which fell back on one of its fellows. When Walton grabbed a piece of tubing and threatened them with it, the beings backed out of the room. Walton was now able to see that the room was irregular (c. 2m high, with three walls 3.5m long) and of dull, featureless, metallic consistency. The hot, claustrophobic atmosphere forced him into the corridor. He looked in the next room that just had a chair in it and which appeared to darken as he stepped further in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He could see stars all around, either through, or projected on, the walls. As he sat in the chair, playing with some buttons, a dark tanned man about 1.8m tall, dressed in blue overalls with a transparent helmet on his head, entered. This man just smiled at Walton’s questions and led him into a bright airy hanger in which there were a number of oval craft. He left him a room, in which there were two men and a woman who “looked like they were from the same family”. They had “dirty blond” hair, bright hazel eyes, and wore coveralls but no helmets. They too refused to answer Walton’s questions and they led him to a table, where he became hysterical again. They put a mask over his face and he lost consciousness. When he recovered he was on the highway outside of Heber, with the circular craft hovering about 1.2m above the highway. A white light on the underside went out and the object seemed to disappear on the spot. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Two young men from Brooklyn, Vincent L and John D, camping in the forest, were awakened by sounds coming from the garbage can. When John put his flashlight on the ground outside to scare away the presumed animals, the tent became darker, as if a light had been shining through the walls. As they looked around they could see no animal nor tracks. They then heard a sonar like sound passing to and fro above them, then noticed what looked like a streamlined camper trailer in the nearby woods. John went to take a further look and had only gone a few metres when he saw that it was a smooth, irregularly shaped object, with a luminous surface and a sort of mast at one end, to which a spinning object was attached. The two men returned to the old picnic shelter, where they had pitched their tent and were trying to make out what the object was, when, as John swung his flashlight, he illuminated a tall figure with two large dark eyes and a series of diagonal strips on one cheek, in an otherwise undetailed, faintly luminous, shape. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As John swung the light around he picked put three more of the creatures, which were identical, except for the number of cheek marks. One of them was in a tree. The men thought that these creatures were some sort of slide projection until they approached within 4.5m. The creatures kept advancing and retreating and would stop still whenever the flashlight beam landed on them, and if the beam hit one of the figures towards the back of the group, it seemed to halt all of them. The men built up their camp fire. Another creature, accompanied by a devise which resembled a “wheeless covered wagon” 75cm wide, 1.8m long, with several loops along its width, supporting a transparent cover. When the creatures retreated to the woods again, the pair took the opportunity to flee to their car. As they doused the flames the creatures seemed to rush at them. The men got tot their car, which appeared to malfunction at first, but then it leapt away and the drove out of the area at speed. John and Vincent were very shaken by the incident, remaining indoors the following week and only told close family. Vincent developed several diagonal abrasions along his back, while John developed weals from his naval to his groin, which led to hospitalisation for tests for a possible kidney complain that proved negative. John also claimed to have developed clairvoyance for a period. They both had dreams and vague memories of an abduction and medical examination. </span><br />

He turned off the engine and looked around could see nothing to account for it. He heard the noise again on Kit Carson road and, looking up, saw a large, bulky cigar shaped object without any lights flying at treetop height above, and slightly to the left of, his car. The thing appeared to be30-35m long and about 7m diameter. It kept pace with his car from when he was cruising at only at 8kph to a max speed of 110kph. The object verted towards the mountains in the north. As David turned back to the sheriff’s office he saw a circular light on the mountain. He informed dispatcher Paul Vigil, who went outside and saw the light. Searches the next day were fruitless. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Peter Eilbes (64), a retired construction works foreman, and his wife Anne (59) were in their home when their doorbell rang. Anne went to answer and found a very strange man, wearing a narrow brimmed hat, who had a brown face that resembled smoked meat, marked with numerous grey vertical lines, a narrow chin and a mouth only 5cm wide. In his hand he held a white rod 1.5m long. When the being did not respond to Anne’s questions, she called Peter, who unlocked the storm door to get a better look. He saw the stranger had tufts of hair sticking from either side of his hat. As Peter, angry, made a grab at him, the stranger banged his stick on the ground with a clicking sound and drifted backwards. Now the couple saw that there were at least four other beings on the street and lawn. They were moving in long slow jumps of up to 3m long, hitting the ground with their sticks, then floating several centimetres above the ground. One being in the street was larger than the others and was leaping vertically 60cm-1m as his stick hit the ground. Their legs looked bent and bowed and their hands resembled arthritic claws, and as the being who had rung the doorbell went across the lawn he raised his bent hand to them. Seeing the spectacle, Anne dragged her husband inside. When inside he could no longer remember any details of their faces, only their mouths and almost collapsed onto the sofa. The police were called but found nothing and did not take the incident seriously. </span><br />

She then found herself spinning round, became nauseous and closed her eyes in fright. She appeared to be being carried in a sort of cube and felt a sensation of a powerful light. She was nude. The was taken into a square building with a sort of “V” shape on either end, located on what looked like white sand resembling a desert. She had now been released. Inside the room, which had a high ceiling and in which objects were self luminous, she had a sort of telepathic conversation with one of the beings, who warned her she would not be believed if she told anyone. The two original beings the reappeared and floated her back into the craft through a kind of hatch. Inside they lay her on a cube moulded to fit her body.

They again advised her not to tell anybody. The object landed in the same field and the beings then floated her through the walls again. Once in the house, they walked normally. She gave them a cup of washing up liquid, then retired to bed exhausted; the two beings standing by the side of the bed. When she awoke again at 0630, the beings had gone and she only vaguely remembered the encounter as a nightmare. Sequela included poltergeist effects. </span><br />

Galba first thought that it was another car and so, dazzled by the light, he lowered his own headlights, at which the strange light went out. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As Galba’ scar came down the hill. He saw that the lighted object was coming towards him, just above the road, on the edge of the highway. The thing was an ovoid, surmounted by a transparent dome, 13m diameter, with two beams of brilliant light coming from its underside. The entire object was surrounded, at a distance of 2m, by a halo of beautiful blue light. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This object came up to within 100m of Galba’s car. Stopped and then began to retreat faster than the car. By the time Galba reached the top of the next hill, he could hardly make out the light in the distance. He was made very nervous by the experience. </span><br />

The thing appeared to pace his car, accelerating and moving ahead for a short time. The witness attempted to follow the object up to the end of 16th street, , at which point the object dropped down to about 6m above the ground , near a barn. He stopped and watched as the object moved away toward the east. When the object was hovering at ground level, the witness could see a dome, on which there were three windows, and there were rotating lights around the centre of the thing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Farmer’s wife Mrs Pauline Dudgeon was drawn to her window by a very bright light. She observed a large object apparently restring on, and covering the width of, Highway 12. An extremely bright pulsating red light on its top made her think there had been a traffic accident and she went out to investigate. Getting within 300m of the object, she observed that it was discoid, surmounted by a cupola, on top which was the pulsating red light. Other bright lights were revolving around the object. These lights and an unusually intense sensation of cold on her face, forced Pauline back inside. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She had heard no sound but was almost entranced by the red light, which she kept under observation for 20 minutes. After the observation she realised that the lights had left a persistent after image of such severity that her vision was distorted and her eyes were continuously running. She was referred to an eye specialist. Who compared her symptoms caused to welders no wearing protective goggles. Her sight did not return to normal until May 1976. </span><br />

The centre lights were red, the two outside ones were blue; all appeared unusual in some way. She got within a few hundred metres of the lights, which appeared to be on an object, three times the size of a helicopter, at ground level. The lights were sharp and flashing in an irregular manner, which gave Mrs Orr the impression it was transmitting a message. She watched the thing for several minutes and was convinced it was a revolutionary new hovercraft being developed by the local firm, Seddon-Chloride, but no such machine was in fact developed. </span><br />

The thing glowed and had four bright, pulsating, red-orange lights around the edges. When the thing went below some trees, the family thought that it was a plane coming down and drove towards it. When they got within 200m the light went out, as if a switched had been thrown. At the same instant another large light appeared about 400m away.

When they got closer they observed a large saucer shaped object, with a domed top, hovering over the powerlines, emitting very intense blue-white light. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The object was 45m around, about 7.5m high to the top of its dome and on the thing's flat underside were four supports about 4m long. The bright line lit up the entire area. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As the trio got within 250m, the object moved off, emitting bright, fiery lights from two spots on its side, and flashing red, blue and white lights around its rim, as it did so.

Jim saw that the figure was about 2m tall and very thin. The stranger wore dark, close fitting clothing, with white wrist and ankle bands. On his chest was a sort of trapezoid insignia. The being had a long thin, extremely pale face, with a long pointed nose and the mouth seemed pulled into a snarl, revealing white teeth, with a tiny lower lip. The stranger had red-brown long matted hair and his fingers were long. In his left hand was some sort of devise attached to a wire. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jim was very frightened and drove rapidly away, too afraid to look back. Behind his truck a strange elongated object came up, flooding the truck with light. Jim then saw the figure of a good friend sat next to him, and a woman’s voice urged him to drive faster. The male figure turned to him, wiped its eyes, leaned back and then forward and then vanished. The next morning Jim learned that the friend whose apparition he had seen had been shot dead that night. No traces were found. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Two
young women, relaxing at home, heard a strange “ enchanting”
sound and felt compelled to get into their car, which drove itself to
a certain spot, accompanied by a large brilliant white light. Vague
human shapes were seen and strange chants heard. They had visions of
their worst fears (rape and sudden death respectively. One of the
girls, Heather, got out of the car, and when she tried to get back
in, she found the car door covered by viscous material like spider’s
webs. There was missing time. They somehow got to the nearest police
station, where the police had seen strange lights in the sky and a
massive procession of snails across the road. When the girls were
escorted home, they thought that the experience was over, but soon
felt the same compulsion and went through the same experience again.
They felt “guilty” and “ashamed” about going to the police,
and that the manipulating force had complete control over them.
Heather later suffered from physical and psychological after effects
which prevented further investigation. </span></span></div>

38 year old man went searching for fossils, leaving his girlfriend in
the car. When he was 2km from the car, he was approached by two short
haired, humanoid dwarfs 1m tall, with elongated heads, wearing silver
suits and rapidly speaking an inDecemberipherable tongue. Their arms
seemed unusually short. They wore silvery suits. They took him to an
elongated silvery object, small on the outside, much larger on the
inside, where there were many more female beings. He was given a
drink which made him pass out. He came to on the floor of the craft,
with two of the beings standing over him. He felt as though he had
been rejected and felt ignored. Then, looking around, he saw two
girls aged about 9 and 12 in a sort of cage. A doorway then opened
and he walked out of the craft and walked back to his car, finding
that 90 minutes had passed. </span></span><br />

Filon, a supervisor at the New York Telephone Company, was driving
between Flemington and Washington, with his wife and 10 year old
daughter when he noticed three brilliant round lights coming down
over the mountains towards the highway (RT31). Frank thought they
were aircraft landing lights and then realised how large and close
they had become. His daughter and wife then said that they too could
see the lights. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
these lights came closer, both the Filons and the occupants of the
two cars behind them drove over to the side of the road. The white
lights were in a triangular formation, which they then broke, one
going straight up over the car at high speed, the other two heading
east and west respectively. They then regrouped in a layer position,
made a 45 degree turn and disappeared over the mountain range from
which they had originated. As the lead object passed over the car,
its glow increased, only to diminish when it had passed. </span><br />

Rodriguez de Maisonet was in the front of her home when she saw, in
the sky, a round object with a flat bottom and a protuberance on top,
resembling an upside down soup plate. She called her husband, a
former commercial pilot, and neighbour, Iris E Rivera , who in turn
called her three sons (10, 9, 8) They all saw the object moving east
to west at a speed slower than the aircraft they frequently saw
approaching the Isla Verde International Airport, until it
disappeared behind a wooded hill 300m away. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Only
the three boys stayed out after this and at 2010 they saw the object
again hovering over the hill 10-15m above the ground. Along its lower
rim was a ring of bright little lights, which appeared to be rotating
rapidly and were in the shape of squares resembling windows. The
object itself, dark grey in colour and somewhat larger than a
Volkswagen car, did not rotate; on its top were two antennae, each
with a steady bright red light at the end. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">From
the underside of the object there came a cylindrical beam of bright
white light, tinged with yellow and four, apparently solid, light
green balls descended in this beam. The first was larger than the
other three. After 10 seconds the beam disappeared as the round
opening it came from closed. On the side of the object was a square
opening with a, with a point of blue light on a white background. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
boys were about to call out to their mother and neighbours when this
side opening also closed and the object began to move southwards,
keeping the same altitude. It stopped for about 20 seconds, emitting
a white cloud of smoke which seemed to stir up the dust below. Then
the thing began to move slowly towards the south, stopping over a
pump house belonging to the Aqueduct and Sewage Authority, where it
stayed for some seconds. This movement was witnessed by Lizzy and
Iris and three other neighbours. When they stopped shouting they
could hear a soft buzzing. Then the object turned slowly northwards,
followed a path westward of its southward one and disappeared from
view. It had been about 200-300m from the witnesses. There was an
unconfirmed report that a youth on the other side of the pump house
had also seen the object. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A
31 year old mechanic was driving his Ami 6 from Comines towards
Warneton He had nearly reached the latter and was driving at 60-70
kph on the wet road (it having rained though the sky was now clear)
with his cassette player on, when his engine, headlights and cassette
player all suddenly cut out. He put the car into neutral and its
momentum carried on about 100m down the 1:20 slope, before he applied
the hand-brake. He was about to get out and see what was the matter,
but as he turned to his right to get out, he saw, through the door
window, something 150m away in a field. He first thought it was a
bale of hay, but then made it out to be a disk shaped object, with a
dome on top, standing on three legs. It was 2.5-3m high, 7-10m wide
with orange, white, blue, red and electric bleu lights in sequence.
There were areas of orange and white light on the object and a beam
of white light coming from the underside. He then saw two figures,
30m away in the field, approaching him. He first thought they were a
farmer and his son, but then noticed their peculiar stiff walk. They
halted for a moment 15m from the car, then came on again. He now see
them in greater detail. The smaller one had a ringed suit which
reminded him of the Michelin Man advert, and a round helmet on its
head. Through a window in this helmet, the witness was able to see
the stranger’s face. In its hand this being carried a devise like a
short, thick ruler, with a pointed tip, pointing at the car. The
other, somewhat taller, entity was 1.2-1.3m tall and was walking
slightly in front of the other. On its head was a cuboid helmet with
opaque sides and a transparent front. The two beings had identical
faces; pear shaped, faintly grey coloured, two perfectly round eyes,
like agate marbles, which were slightly shrunken in relation to the
rest of the face, small, only faintly visible nose, mouth just a
lipless horizontal slit. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When one of the beings opened its mouth, the
witness could see neither tongue nor teeth. The being with the cuboid
helmet had a sort of rectangular black box beneath its chin, and wore
a dull, metallic grey, one piece, suit from head to toe. Above the
cubs shaped helmet was a sort of tube. Both entities wore heavy,
pointed boots. Despite their facial identity, the entity with the
cube shaped helmet had a very different physique from the first one,
having an athletic build, broad shoulders, narrow hips. It wore a
black belt around its waist, on which there was a luminous oval spot
where the buckle would be. A black sash ran from the belt to its left
shoulder, while from the base of the helmet, a row of buttons ran
down each side. Both beings had arms which ran down to below their
knees. Their helmets were illuminated by a soft, uniform light, like
that on the belt, which did not seem to radiate to the outside. They
then halted by a ditch 4m away . The entity in the cuboid helmet open
and closed his mouth, immediately after which the witness felt a
faint shock in the region of the cerebellum and somehow began to
“hear in his head” a low pitched modulated sound that grew louder
and louder. There was also a second “Michelin Man” close by the
object.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">During the confrontation with the entities, a sort of small
luminous object fell from the second entity'</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">s belt, without them
appearing to notice. The two beings suddenly turned their heads
simultaneously, at which the sound in the witness’s head stopped.
They then pivoted around in military fashion and walked briskly back
to the machine, walking over the muddy field without any difficulty.
As they did so blue light began to pulsate like a light on a police
car, When they had re-entered the machine, the legs retracted,
leaving it hovering 50 cm above the ground, the white beam cutting
out. then after 3-4 seconds it rose at a 60-70 degree angle,
eventually vanishing from sight. Just as the object took off a second
car arrived on the scene as the witness almost collapsed over the
wheel. The second driver asked how he was, and said that he too had
seen the object and beings and his engine had faltered a few times
but had not stopped. The witness also managed to get his car going,
and his lights and radio were working again. The observation had
lasted twenty minutes. Local residents reported nothing unusual. The
radio-cassette was found to be impaired after the experience. </span><br />

distance in front of his car. The rainbow then blinked out and was
replaced by an oval light about 1.8m diameter, too brilliant for any
features to be made out. The object approached within 2m of his car
and only 1m above the road. Justice could now inside the oval object.
The interior consisted of a gold coloured room in which five beings
90cm-1.2m tall, with long brown hair covering their faces and
reaching to the floor, dressed in garments like capes, were sat in a
straight row of high seats. Their long “beautiful” hair and
dresses (red, yellow, blue, green, orange respectively and delicate
arms and hands made him think they were women. After a short time the

on tiptoe to look over the wall he saw, in the vineyard, a dark oval
shaped body, 1m high, 3m long. When he returned to the car for a
flashlight a single red ball, only 20cm diameter, rose up silently at
about 20kph, vanishing into the sky. None of the objects made any
sound nor were any traces found, All the witnesses were puzzled by
the sight. </span><br />

N. D. was driving her Volkswagen 1300 on this clear day when, as she
rapidly approached the top of a hill, she noticed a red object on the
ground to the left of the road, 150m away. Her car engine spluttered
to a stop and her radio went dead though its light remained on. She
was now only 10m from the object, which was 1m in diameter, 50cm
high, with a red flattened dome on top and two rows of spots around
the circumference. The surface appeared like dull metal. After 4 to 5
minutes the thing rose 50cm and then dropped back towards the ground.
This action was repeated a second time. The third time the thing rose
slowly and steadily to 3-4m above the ground and moved above her car,
revealing a flat, grey, featureless underside. The object appeared to
hover over the car for a few seconds and then reappeared to her left
side and moved away on a curved trajectory. Mrs D’s car then
started by itself while still on fourth gear. That spring the
car began to malfunction and was found to have a faulty distributor. </span></span><br />

man in his 80s had gone to bed early because of a power cut. He was
awoken in the Night. by a brilliant white light, which lit up the
room from the outside. In the bedroom stood a man in a white robe,
with perhaps some smaller figures with him. The old man became
distressed and then the figure faded away. When he out of bed and
looked through the curtains he saw a large white object, which
resembled a caravan or bus with large wheels. It lit up the
surrounding area and small people appeared to be inside it. It then
started to rise slowly in an easterly direction. without any sound,
and disappeared into the clouds. No traces were found. The witness
seemed to regard it as an angel and as a premonition of the death of
his wife. </span></span><br />

Swanner (q.v.) heard a buzzing sound and noticed disruption to
television reception. Going outside to investigate, he saw a strange
object like “ a Dutch wooden shoe”, emitting a soft white glow.
It was hovering less than 2m above his garden. The body was about
5.5m long, 2.5m high and 2.7m wide, with a glass like translucent
cockpit on top, through which he could see the shadowy head and
shoulders of two human like beings moving about. The object slowly
swivelled and moved away to the east. On its rear end were two red
and blue lights, and at each top corner was an insignia which
reassembled a tobacco pipe with a mark through the top. </span></span><br />

The room was lit by blue light and included a screen displaying a

thought it was wild dogs, so she turned on the porch light and went
to the door with her shotgun. She was confronted by an ape like
creature, 2.1m tall, which raised both its arms into the air over its
head. Thinking it was about to attack her Mrs A fired at in point
blank, whereupon it disappeared in a flash of light like a
photographers flash. There was no sound nor smell. She ran back into
the house. As she was trying to recovering from the shock, she was
phoned by her son in law, who lived with his wife and family in a
trailer 30m from the house, and had been alerted by the shot. On
hearing her story, he went to her house, armed with a revolver. As he
approached, he saw, near the woods, the shadows of 4-5 ape like
creatures, 2.1m tall, with long arms and fiery red glowing eyes. He
fired two shots then ran into his mother in law’s house. Looking
out of the window, they both saw a bright red flashing light hovering
over the woods about 150m away. They resembled Christmas tree lights,
and revolved like a police car beacon. Very frightened, they called
the police, who found no traces, but noticed that all the animals
were frightened and nervous. The baby cried all through the Night.,
something it had never done before. </span></span><br />

surrounded by a transparent gelatinous halo, which resembled egg
yolk. After about 15 seconds, the two spheres merged into a single
elliptical object, with a diameter of about 7m, while keeping the
same colour This object then began to move slowly towards the
southwest, and then suddenly accelerated and disappeared, leaving a
sort of milky fog behind. The investigator found, behind the tree
line, two small concave ditches in the ploughed field; which
resembled tractor tracks, but too far apart and ending suddenly. In
each track there was a spot of green liquid. The times were from

vehicles and in three places, 100m apart, there were scoop marks 85cm

(California), one sleeping while the other was driving. 88km north of
Ely the driver woke his brother to tell him that an unidentified
object was following them. The sleeping brother did not take any
notice till his brother woke him again, 10 minutes later. He then
looked out of the left side of the cab to see a round orange object
about 3m above the ground. Through the right side of the cab he could
see three smaller blue objects at a higher altitude. One of these
flickered on and off, while the other was constant. The driver said
that the orange object had passed from the right tom the left. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">At

the driver lost control of the steering and the transmission selector
jumped from “drive” to “neutral” and the truck coasted to a
halt. As the brothers sat in their cab, with the engine running, they
observed a huge silver ball, surmounted by a dome and with short

on top of it, making towards them from about 1.5km ahead. One of the
brothers got out of the truck and shone his flashlight ion this
thing, without effect and then went to inspect the truck to find that
the drive shaft was turning. Very frightened he got back into the cab
and watched the light get closer. They felt that they were in a
vacuum, isolated from the rest of the world. Then either car or
something else zoomed past them at terrific speed and suddenly the
experience seemed to be over. They put reflectors on the road to
avoid a collision and flagged down a car, which took them to McGill,
where they got another truck and drove back to the wreck. The truck
was a right-off. Investigations showed that the damage was caused by
lack of proper lubrication and had no connection with the experience. </span></span><br />

Thornton and his girlfriend, Sally lamprey, were returning home on
the Moriarty Road, when about 1.5km east of Latrobe, Greg noticed a
bright orange dot ahead. Roadside trees then obscured their view for
another 150m. Then they saw a bright orange light about 1.5km to the
west, at 100m or so altitude, over the Mersey Hospital area. They
stopped. The object appeared to be increasing in size and when they
turned the car headlights off, the object approached rapidly, slowing
as it neared them. It was now only 250m, over the roadside trees at
about 15m altitude. It now had the appearance of a bright shimmering
triangle with rounded edges, the apparent size of a tennis ball. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Somewhat
unnerved Greg started the car and turned on the headlights. The
object then turned on its side, becoming a straight orange line
inclined at a 45 degree angle, and accelerated away, vanishing behind
trees on a hill to the north. The observation had lasted three
minutes. Minutes later, 8km further east along the road, Mr J,
travelling towards Latrobe noticed an orange light keeping pace with
him, some distance from the road to the north. When he stopped he
noticed that the light was moving west without a sound. It appeared
to be about 6m in diameter. J continued on his journey at between
65-90kph, the object apparently keeping pace at 15 degrees elevation.
By the time he reached the Bass Highway the object had disappeared. </span><br />

B (59) a forge worker at Hirson was driving to work on his moped
along RN 363 and had just gone past the last houses in Les Routieres
and was rounding the bend just before the river, when he was
confronted by two beings. Somehow he came to a stop, though he did
not remember braking, and caught sight of a large, dark, circular
mass, about 35m to his left in a field below the road. He was unable
to make out many details because of the extreme darkness of the
morning, but he could make out that it was about 1.8-2m ,diameter,
the size of two cars, circular and standing on the ground, but could
see no legs, antennae, windows etc. The two beings were stood holding
his handle bars. They were about 1.7m tall and dressed in dark, one
piece, astronauts suits with a square helmet. There was an opening
for the face, but he could see nothing in this opening, only
darkness,, as if they were wearing masks. There were no pockets on
the lustreless suits. The beings wore gauntlets. The beings began to
make gestures indicating that he should eat something, which made him
really panicky. The beings then turned towards each other, as if
conversing, and then one put his hand behind his back and produced a
piece of substance about 1cm square, which they again indicated that
B should eat. He complied with their request. It was brown, like
chocolate, only softer and with no discernible taste. The beings held
him until he had eaten, upon which they jumped out of the way and let
him speed out of the area. He was agitated at work and told his work
mates what had happened, which made him the subject of some ridicule.
Neighbours reported traces at the site, but these had gone by the
time investigators arrived. The witness seems to have been regarded
as 'simple' or 'innocent'. He was very reluctant to discuss
the incident. </span></span><br />

transported from his home to a square, windowless room, where a
voice, coming from a box in the corner, assured him that “they”
were his friends. An opening appeared in the wall and a devise
emerged, which scanned him with a yellow light, after which a perfect
double of Dinant appeared out of it. This duplicate left through the
wall and, on a screen, Dinant was able to observe its activities
impersonating him. This went on for 24 hours, during which time
Dinant felt neither hunger nor thirst. During parts of this time
Dinant was partly controlling, partly advising the duplicate. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Lynn
F (aged about 20) awoke to go to the toilet, noticing as she did so a
large object to the east, through the curtained window. It was a
large domed object with a flat base. As she watched, four rectangular
window like lights came on in sequence, emitting a yellow-white
light. Next the base, followed by the right, left and top edges lit
up, until the whole object was a brilliant blaze of light. The lights
then went out and then back on again, the whole sequence occurring 20
times over during an observation period of 15 minutes. Her husband
awoke mid way through the sequence and also saw the object, which
came within 1.5-2m of the window. The couple, fearing a collision hid
their faces. When they looked up, the object had gone. Lynn, who
later was divorced from her husband, had various other anomalous
experiences. </span></span><br />

Wayne Plasters (27) noticed that the whole hillside on his father’s

N Clinton (35). They all watched the yellow glow through the window. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">They
were startled when a reddish oval object “larger than a Volkswagen”
rose up to an altitude of 90m above the glowing area, performed some
right angled turns and headed south towards Stuart;. They then saw
that the light was still on the hill and the two men went to take a
closer look. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
they drove towards the scene in a truck, they noticed that the farm
animals, which usually came to greet people, were nowhere to be seen.
Billy, who was driving, then saw what looked like a big, tall,
heavy-set man coming towards them on a nearby ridge, silhouetted
against the light. When Billy got no reply to his shouted enquiries
they panicked and drove off. Jane watched the truck stop and turn
around from the house. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
men returned very shaken, collected their guns and went back to the
site a second time, only to find burning debris. They notified the

Cassell and her daughter Freda who lived in the area heard a shill
penetrating sound but were afraid to go out and investigate.
Investigators next morning found charred areas extending for several
hundred metres on the hillside, the charring appear random in a
manner unlike a normal bush fire. A smell of burning pervaded the
whole area. Soil samples showed nothing out of the usual. </span><br />

suit from which projected a bright cylindrical solid-like beam of
light from the front of the collar, which light could lengthen and
shrink. As the car passed near the being, the engine began to fail

close relative of the reporter Stanley Ingrams was contacted
telepathically and went to a football field. He was two thirds of the
way down the field, when he suddenly found himself in a craft he had
not seen. He heard the door close and saw two little men. He claimed
he was taken on a trip to Northern Australia and back by the two
entities who gave their names as Alton and Tombo. </span></span><br />

Sanchez Sanchez (31),a business agent, was driving between
Aznalcollar and El Castillo de las Guardes, when he stopped to watch
an object falling silently from the sunny sky down to the nearby
valley. Adrian got out of his car and walked up a small hill,
expecting to see an aircraft crash and was surprised to see a large,
shiny, metallic looking, wingless cigar shaped thing hovering 3-4m
above the ground 50m away. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
thing was 200m long and 15-20m high, including two antennae on top. A
huge triangular door opened in the thing’s rear and a formation of
three smaller objects proceeded to enter the main object. These
things were about 7m diameter and 4m tall, shaped like yo-yo’s but
with pointed tops and bottoms. Two of them actually entered the
larger object but the third turned and headed slowly towards Adrian,
who panicked and drove rapidly away in his car, pursued for about
15km (taking 10-15minutes) by the object, which came as close as
10-15m. The news programme on the radio became interrupted by a sound
like liquid spurting. Two of the four men from El Castillo who
accompanied Adrian back to the site suffered an upset stomach in one
case and a severe headache in the other. Possible traces were found.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Maximiliano
Iglesias Sanchez (21), a truck driver was driving home to Lagunilla
when he encountered a blinding white light on the road, 700-800m
ahead. By the time he stopped,. 200m away, the light had dimmed and
he could see that it was a smooth metallic structure, 10-12m wide,
resting on three legs. To the right was a second, darker, object
hovering at 15-17m altitude. The lights and motor of his Ford Avis
diesel truck went out. Then the witness saw two beings in front of
the first craft. They walked together, gesturing with their arms and
facing him. One of them pointed at him. They were 1.9m-2m tall and
wore shiny diving suits. After they disappeared to the right of the
craft, it slowly rose towards its companion making a humming sound.
MIS drove past the objects, the truck now functioning normally. When
he stopped to look back, the illuminated craft was again on the
ground. Now afraid, MIS sped home. That night at 2315, when it was
drizzling, MIS was driving past the same spot, when he saw three
craft, one on the road, the other two on the right, each 8-9m apart.
He stopped the truck 200m away, and the light and engine went out.
Four beings suddenly appeared. They gestured and looked and pointed
at him. When they started walking towards him, he got out of the
truck and ran away, leaving the cab door open. 2km away he was forced
to hide in a ditch, and after the beings had gone, he cautiously
returned to his truck, to find both doors now closed. The beings
reappeared in the middle of the highway as soon as he closed the door
behind him. They gestured and looked at each other, and a few seconds
after they moved off to the right and disappeared. The craft on the
road climbed slowly at an angle, making a humming sound and stopped
to hover at a height of 15-17m above the other two. Up to till then
he had not been able to start the engine, but it now started easily
and MIS drove past the objects, which were all on the ground again
when he looked behind. He got out and came within 8-9m of the four
beings, but kept behind the bushes. For three minutes he watched them
pushing two tools into the ground of the road embankment. One of
these was T shaped, the other horseshoe shaped. MIS became afraid
again, returned to his truck and drove off towards Lagunilla. Traces
were found </span></span><br />

ground he was drawn up into a cone of light coming from some object
above. His next memory was of arriving at his own front door with a
cut on his forehead and burn on his cheek. Under hypnotic regression
he recalled being taken on board the object, where he encountered
four tall, slightly glowing, semi-transparent beings, wearing hoods
and communicating in musical tones, which cut his forehead with a

fishing a short distance away, but when they came back the robot had
gone, thought they found tracks 4-5 cm wide, running intermittently
through the thicket for a distance of 150m in the direction in which
the robot had disappeared. They ended abruptly. It was calculated
that they were produced by a body of some 80-100 kg. The witness was

A W, a French citizen, who was on vacation in Togo was bathing with a

high pitched whistling sound, painful to their ears, coming from the
direction of the sea. They then saw a dark object coming towards them
across the water. When it was 200-300m from them, the thing halted,
facing them. The beach was then hit by a large wave, the first of a
series, through the sea had been 50m from their spot. W had to hold
on to the woman with one arm and grasp a coconut tree with the other,
to save them. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Suddenly
three dazzling lights, like searchlight beams, appeared on the object
and other beams came from its sides and probably from the top and

multi-coloured beams. Because his glasses were slightly shaded, W was
able to make out that the water under the object was hollowed out
into a basin, 5-6m deep and as wide as the object itself (25-30m). </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
light gave off a powerful heat and appeared to paralyse the couple.
They then suddenly felt the air grow fresher and they saw the object
moving out to sea, keeping the same height. Then its lights went out
and it was lost to sight. They both felt pain in their ears as they
went back to the hotel. Next morning W felt dazed, light and empty
and in the next few days developed headaches, fainting spells and
longer term effects of nervousness, giddiness and spasms of pain. </span><br />

Algora Gutierrez (56) and Luis Ayala Barbera (45), technicians at the
National Institute for Reform and Agrarian Development, along with
neighbours from Burgos were returning to that town from a fishing
trip, when they saw a bright orange object appear in the sky to the
left of the road (i.e. the south) at a great height. Luis, who was
driving, saw it first and pointed it out to his friend. The object
slowly moved to the right over the highway and then came down very
rapidly, stopping for a couple of seconds 25m ahead of their car,
about 15-20m above the road, forcing Luis to brake sharply. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
thing was at this point as wide as the 7m wide highway. It then sped
upwards in a clockwise loop and then slowed as it disappeared into
the distance. The soundless observation lasted about 2 minutes and
there were no effects on the car. Julio thought that the thing was a
sort of rectangle with pointed ends, though appearing oval at its
closest. Luis, who wore glasses, saw it always as oval. The figures
for distance and altitude are very approximate and may have been up
to 10 times greater. </span><br />

suddenly stop and hover over a carob tree 15m away. The object was a
“dirty” colour and was spinning rapidly. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">After
hovering for a moment the thing moved away low over the trees, which
were agitated as if in a wind. It then passed low over a high tension
wire and stopped by three sturdier carob trees 400m from the party.
These trees whirled around violently for three-four minutes, after
which the object seemed to disappear into a nearby depression. At the
same time the intense sound and agitation of the foliage began to
fade. 1-5-30 minutes later Rubio went to investigate but there were
no traces either among the trees or in the depression. </span><br />

his colour blindness Bland was unable to make out the colours but he
noticed pulsating lights. He got out his camera and took three
photographs, which just, however, showed a speck of light, and made
out one bright and two smaller lights. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
it moved south, the object came closer, and then, in a sudden
acceleration it came and hovered about 23m above a field about a 100m
away, near the Scott and Jones Company. The thing was oblong about 9m
long, 3m wide; its metallic looking upper part reflecting the lights
whole the bottom part was a dark silhouette. There was a large light
on top and two smaller ones on the side. Bland was about to take
another photo when a powerful beam of light was projected directly on
to him, making him drop the camera. When the light went out Bland
drove off, extremely nervous. </span><br />

ground in an area of little or no vegetation. He estimated that the
object was about 5m-10m diameter and was white but not illuminated.
The thing had a central rim which gave it a Saturn like appearance.
This was white with a dark central band. Intrigued Edmond began to
drive towards the thing, but when he got within 150m of it, the
object shot off at terrific speed and disappeared among the hills.

low on the northern horizon. Thinking it was a fire, they drove
towards it to help, only to see it rise into the air and grow in
size. It was a pulsating red-orange light at ground level and
appeared to be 8km away and 200-300m across. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
the man was on his CB radio describing the scene the thing seemed to
open up and discharge a box like devise on the end of something
resembling a rope. It whirled round for a time then re-entered the
object. The object then approached the couple, coming within about
800m, at which they could hear a faint motor sound. The couple drove
rapidly away and the thing followed them for about 75km. At 0215 the
couple stopped for lunch at a roadside restaurant, where they were
accosted by a strange man with a large mouth who spoke in a peculiar
slow voice asking about their experience. His eyes seemed to pop out
if his head several centimetres, and his nose and fingers were
unusually long. The stranger would not be put off and the couple
left. After about 3km the couple saw lights behind them, at times
rising to almost 2m into the air. The woman then felt a force behind
her head and saw a large orange sphere coming up behind them, along
with the small lights on the other side. They then saw in front of
them a little man with a peculiar hat and a tail, sitting on a black
object that moved back and forth. They kept seeing these things as
they backed up and drove away, all the way to within 400m of the
man’s house in Findlay. The man and a friend later went back to the
site and had seen a vast number of white lights travelling across the
fields. The waitress at the restaurant confirmed their presence and
that of a peculiar man who sat alone. </span><br />

becoming hidden at times by hills, curves etc. and was also not

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sebastian
Acevedo (35), a sack maker at the grain factory and largely
illiterate, was walking to work the 4km from his home. He had walked
three blocks in the pre-dawn mist and had just entered Argentine
Aeronautics Street, when he noticed a luminous point that seemed to
fall from the sky. He had walked on another 5m when he was struck by
a powerful light from behind. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
he was walking on the road, Acevedo thought it was a car coming up
behind him and stepped to the side and looked around, He then saw
that the light came from something which had stopped just above his
head and was producing a deafening sound. The thing appeared to be
2-2.5m diameter, with 6 or 7 flames coming from its edges. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">An
opening then appeared in the thing’s underside from which issue a
concentrated beam of red light that totally paralysed him, leaving
him unable to run or call for help. He felt a pain in his chest. The
beam then seemed to twice lift him 309-40cm above the ground. When he
rose up, the thing, which appeared so close that he could touch it,
also rose up. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
light caught the attention of Juan Reyes, the night watchman of the
cheese factory where the incident took place. Juan ran to the scene
fearing that a transformer by the gate had caught fire. Though he
heard the sound and saw the light, all had gone when he reached the
gate. All that Acevedo could tell him was that the object had risen
above the power lines and then moved off horizontally. When Acevedo
was found , he was walking in circles, dizzy and thirsty. He also
recalled that as it, the object had flared up at one point, which the
investigators connected to the severing of the power cables at this
point, an incident which led to a power failure in the town. Acevedo
later suffered from severe anxiety. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Small
businessman Mauro Bellingeri and his wife Carla (both 26) were
driving back from the fete at the nearby village of Cascina del
Rossi, when about 400m from their home they noticed a bright object
moving through then sky to their left. When first seen it was high
and possessed an unusual motion. It then dived down vertically until
it was hovering 12-13m directly over their house. The couple drove up
to the house and Mauro got out to open the garage door. They then
stood by their car and watched the strange object which consisted of
two parts; a lighted transparent dome and a discoid ring surrounding
it. This seemed detached from the dome carried red, yellow and green
lights, which rotated counter-clockwise making a circuit every 20
seconds. The object reflected spotlight from a nearby builder’s
yard and Carla thought she saw two protuberances on the ring. t</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">he
couple could see, inside the dome, the silhouettes of three figures
in a row at the front. These appeared to have big greyish round
helmets with a sort of nozzle at the front, like that worn by a
frogman. Suddenly the figure nearest them turned as if to look at
them but soon returned to its original position. Then all three
rotated to the right, as if the base on which they were located had
turned. At this point three or four jets blazed out from beneath the
object, in phase with a peculiar pulsating, whizzing sound and an
increase in the rotation of the ring. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
object then departed at the same altitude to the North-East, with the
cockpit gently rotating anti-clockwise. At this point Carla panicked
and ran into the house, while Mauro was held back by a great rush of
air. Carla had a sleepless and troubled night after the event.
Mauro’s sister in law apparently heard the noise, and her three
year old son was frightened by something at 2200 on the 15rh. An
amateur astronomer Enrico Giaroli was said to have seen the object,
but he refused to comment. The couple’s normally nervous dog was
not affected by the sound. No traces or radioactivity could be
confirmed to have been found. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mrs
Ruth Currie, the director of the Nash Nursing Home, had her attention
drawn to some lights a couple of hundred metres up the road, by her
daughter Laurie. The first thought that it was the night nurse coming
in, and then they thought of either an accident or a courting couple.
Looking closer they saw it was an object the size of s trailer, with
red lights front and rear. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Intrigued
they went up to have a closer look and as they stepped outside they
heard the local dogs and horses acting up. When they got within 60m
of it, they saw that the thing was a huge oval object, resting on the
road, with red lights on either end. On top was a sort of large
rounded window emitting a golden glow. Silhouetted against this glow
they could see a figure, on which no features could be discerned,
moving to and fro and bending as if working on something. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Rose
then told Laure to go and fetch Mrs Rose Curtis, an employee of the
home. When Mrs Curtis saw the object she ran back into the house and
phoned for her husband. After watching for some minutes they became
afraid and walked back to the house. As they did so they heard a
whistle followed by a cold breeze and then a whirring sound. When
they looked back they saw the object was in the air and disappearing
into the night. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As
he drove to the scene, Bob Curtis saw a circular object, with red and
blue pulsating lights all around it, rise rapidly from the ground,
over the trees and halt momentarily at 300m altitude and then
disappear. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When
they inspected the landing site next day, they found a scorched
circular patch, about 23m diameter. Where the circle overlapped the
lawns on either side of the road, the grass was burnt and charred.
Within the circumference of the circle were two deep indentations in
the road, shaped like half-moons but without any kind of tread marks. </span><br />

near the front door, while Iulio felt electrical feelings in his

filament in the centre, and did not cast a shadow. Iulio felt
impelled to go out. When he did so the object was already 4-5m away
and leaving at 1mps. Iulio tried to follow it but when he turned the

all was normal. </span><br />

and long claws instead of fingers. He had short legs, was completely

featureless face, dressed in a long black dress. The figure stood
motionless for 10 minutes, when a second, black gowned, figure was
seen moving amongst the trees. The first figure disappeared then
reappeared 50m from its original position, where it was again
motionless for about 10 minutes and then again vanished. The
witnesses left, then returned to the site at 2135, whereupon they
saw, through binoculars, two more figures, this time dressed in
white. One was motionless, the other darting about, but gliding
rather than running, no leg movements being visible. At this point a
red lighted object was seen rising over the hilltops in the same
direction. After 5 minutes it moved off, passing almost directly over
the witnesses, making a peculiar throbbing sound similar to a ship’s
sonar. It had a central white light, two blinking lights near the
edge, and a vertically revolving blue light. The object showed a
central red light and two blinking white lights as it moved off.
Vinten took a photograph but no reproduction was published. A drawing
showed a lens shaped object with a central bulge. </span></span><br />

with his sister’s boyfriend Juan Nbrera Otera (22(, a soldier,
driving a Renault truck. Coming out of the tunnel next to the dam,
where the upgrades to the port of “Mataparda” began, they saw
what they thought was lightning on the other side, bur when they saw
the starry sky they changed their minds. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Soon,
on passing the hill, they saw several flashes in succession on their
left. They continued but stopped when they saw, about 2km away,
resting on a mountain,, a red thing that gave off a strong
intermittent light, that resembled a sort of searchlight with a red
light behind it. It illuminated the highway, but they could not make
out the shape of the object behind it. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
object rose slowly up the mountain, staying even with the ground, and
then took off to the north. The men were about to continue when they
saw a reddish lens shaped object rise up from a mountain 200m to
their left. This thing was 10-12m diameter, with two domes, one on
its top and a smaller one on its bottom. It ascended silently through
30m, stopped and then descended vertically back behind the mountain.
The entire episode lasted about four minutes,. The Civil Guard
inspected the area but found no traces. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mr
P, a 32 year old resident of nearby Hampton, was swimming alone on
the beach when he saw a disc shaped object approach horizontally over
the ocean, then descend vertically and land. It was 15-18m diameter,
with domes above and below with a rim around the centre. There were
four legs and several lights. It gave off heat and a pulsating
humming noise. After some minutes a hatch folded down from the
underside of the object as if it had been hinged at one end and a
ramp slid down from the opening, at which a second sound, like an
electrical motor, could be heard. In the hatchway p.saw a being over
2.8m tall, wearing a light coloured, bulky overall. Two hoses ran
from the rear of its jaw to a junction on the back of its neck, one
hose continuing down its back. The humanoid stepped onto the sand for
a few seconds then re-entered the craft, which closed up and lifted
off in a reverse sequence. p.reported a wetness 60-70m from the
occupant. As soon as the object had left, he inspected four landing
marks, which consisted of a deep rose coloured paste with a thick
liquid in them. There was also a red spot where the hatch had opened.
The traces were washed away by the tide, though a trace of the red
where the hatch had been remained. The witness was initially assessed
as being “simple minded”, cheerful and “a sincere Christian”,
but subsequent enquiries showed he had lied on previous occasions,
and the investigators suspected the story was probably a hoax. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In
a heavily residential suburb of LA, Mrs Ethel Bergman (64), a
divorcee, former medical secretary with law school training and very
well read, stepped onto her second floor balcony to shake out the
curtains, when she was dazzled by a bright light. Directly in her
line of vision, right over the roof of a building on the next block,
she saw a white light, which was so brilliant that it made it
impossible to see the surrounding area. It appeared to be a perfect
circle 1.8-2.4m diameter. It was divided into two portions; the top
half was illuminated from the inside, like a “milk globe” or
frosted incandescent light bulb, but very intense. The lower portion
consisted of bright points of light and these two portions were separated by a row of very intense scintillating points of
light, such that Ethel was not sure whether the lights on the lower
portion were just reflections of these or not. The lights sparkled
irregularly; the thing seemed to come towards her very slowly but did
not seem to increase in size or cast shadows. It approached Ethel
moving east to west, then veered off to the southwest at a diagonal.
Ethel ran to the corner of the porch to observe its departure, and
from there observed a sort of fin at its rear, and could not here any
sound at all. The object seemed to leap up in the southwest sky and
disappear. The observation lasted 25-30 seconds. The witness claimed
that electrical equipment malfunctioned around her and that she was
psychic. </span></span><br />

steps. The being was about 2.1m tall or taller, covered completely in

the ground on 3 or 4 legs. Demetrio was so surprised that his cycle
skidded and he fell to the ground. He tried to approach the thing for
a better look, but he only got within 70m when it rose rapidly with a
hissing sound, spinning g and making the stones and soil jump. It
emitted four spurts of smoke and a sulphurous odour. At a
considerable height it headed obliquely to the north, and disappeared
after 4-5 seconds. Traces included holes in the ground, dried vetch
plants and calcinated stones, which had apparently been subjected to
a temperature of 2-3k degrees. </span></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A
young couple (P and F) were driving from Harare (then Salisbury) to
South Africa via the Biet Bridge Crossing. 10km south of Umvuma they
both saw what they took to be a policeman sitting by the side of the
road with a walkie-talkie in his hand. Fearful of a speed trap, they
slowed down and noticed that the policeman was wearing some kind of
shiny metallic or plastic garment. At 0230hrs., F noticed a light,
with a bluish tinge, on her side of the car. It appeared to be
revolving or flashing on and off. They first thought it was on a
house, then a communications tower beacon, then a helicopter. As they
drove along the car lights began to fade out, though the radio and
engine continued. They then noticed an unusual cold in the car, which
seemed to be surrounded by a sort of neon light. When p.took his foot
off the accelerator, the car continued on at 160kph and he appeared
to have no control over the car, which seemed to be on automatic
pilot. . As the light passed from one side or the car to the other,
they passed what looked like ma bus used by Africans, by an African
store. All the lights were on in this bus, but it was deserted, a
very unusual state of affairs. They then passed two other buses
heading in the opposite direction, also deserted. They carried the
livery of the firm F worked for. They then saw a beam of light from
the horizon to the light in the sky, which, when they were about 15km
from Fort Victoria took off “like a shooting star”. They stayed
in Fort Victoria from 0430 to 0530, where they had a wash and the car
filled up. The attendant thought that their feeling that the night
was cold was strange. About 10km out of Fort Victoria, F drew P’s
attention to the object, which reappeared in the left hand station,
another one moved into position above the car. They appeared very
small and high, appearing suddenly. The couple were surprised that
they encountered no other traffic on this otherwise busy route. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">They
were even more surprised that they seemed to be driving through
swampy terrain with many low bushes, despite the fact that it was a
very dry area with only scattered low scrub. There were no outside
sounds. p.again found that the car seemed to be under remote control,
the radio seemed to play the same tune over and again until it faded
out and the normally winding road was now hypnotically straight. The
normally brilliant dawn was replaced by a peculiar grey overcast
light. At 0615, F fell asleep. They reached Biet Bridge at a time F
thought was 0700hrs., it was still grey and the objects were still in
view. When they reached the post, the clocks on both customs posts
read 0830, though their watches read 0730, a time checked out by
radio time check. They then both realised that the sun was shining
brilliantly. It appeared that their speedo trip meter read they had
travelled only 17km, though they had travelled 288, and also hardly
any fuel was spent. p.claimed to have had a previous UFO experience,
and to be psychic. Under hypnosis he said that the objects sent down
beams which surrounded the car with a fake landscape, sent his wife F
to sleep, and that a form which could take on any shape it wished
appeared in the back seat of the car. Through the beams he could look
into the triple decked machine, about 25m diameter, 18m high.
The beings own form was that of hairless, sexless humanoids with
large trunks. They claimed to be “friendly time travellers from the
outer galaxies” </span></span><br />

After another experience 12 years later, the younger man developed
memories of being abducted by 5 beings, 1.2m tall, with grey skinned
spindly bodies, large heads and eyes and wearing close fitting blue
suits. The creatures entered his bedroom from the kitchen, touched
the youth, numbing him and telepathically commanded him to follow
them to an object where he was given a medical and something was
inserted into his groin. This object fell out 12 years later. A

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mrs
Vivian Stevens of Locust Street was driving home from a PTA meeting
at South Hampton Elementary School, with two of her children (boy 11,
girl 10) and her niece Helen M. They were going down Fern Avenue and
left along Rte. 150 and as they turned the corner, the lad, sitting
on the right hand side of the car, drew the others’ attention to a
bright red, beacon like light in the sky ahead of them. Vivian first
thought that it was a light on a tower, but it seemed to follow them
down Rte. 150, and as they approached Locust, it got larger and
closer and then disappeared behind some trees. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As
they came up to a large pasture they saw the red light shining
through the trees. When they had an open view, they saw a large red
dome shaped, illuminated object hovering right over an elm tree30m
from the road. The object resembled a child’s spinning top, with a
rounded bottom and top like a truncated, inverted cone. The bottom
part was 4.5-6m across, whole the cone on top appeared to be 1.5m
across. There was a red glow on the top front section of this cone,
while the base was outlined by red, blue and green lights, which
appeared to mingle at times. In the centre, between the two sections
was a white light that gave off coloured bursts of sparks. In this
white light or opening, the witnesses could see something like blades
rotating, and in the thing’s centre was a dark square like a
window. The surface of the bowl was tan and shiny, reflecting the
lights. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now
unnerved, the family drove home, the object following them and then
after 100m passing in front of their car and then hovering, with a
fluttering motion, at about 35m altitude, 120m away. Helen stepped
out of the car for a better look, at which the row of multi coloured
lights came on and the object began to descend with jerking motions
towards the ground. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
party fled to the Stevens home. Where Vivian’s son, Todd (17) and
his girlfriend Kathy Oullette said they would look for it was he
drove her home. They saw nothing on the journey but on his way back
Todd noticed the same red beacon like light in the sky, and got other
members of the family to join him. Vivian went to fetch a nearby
couple, Frank and Muriel Cynewski, but while she was away a plane
approached and the object descended, at an angle into the pasture or
sandpit behind the field, where they saw its red glow illuminating
the trees. The matter was reported to Pease AFB. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">An
elderly farmer, lying in his caravan bunk looking at the sky, saw a
light which moved, stopped and then moved again. It was a cylindrical
object from which emerged a “shooting star” which shot at the
caravan to the SE, stopped abruptly before it reached the horizon,
hovered for 3-4 minutes and began to approach. It hovered high over
some property 3km away. The fiery red sphere then swooped down over
the top of a hill in the direction of Lake George. He watched the
object through binoculars and the naked eye for some time, going
outside for s better look. The object disappeared behind trees,
apparently landing. He then returned to bed. At 0300hrs. he set out
with his dog to investigate. On a hill several kilometres away he
smelt smoke, heard dogs and someone shouting. Not wishing to
interfere he sat it out until 0600hrs. When he investigated, a burned
patch 200m long was found at the site. he suffered extreme anxiety
reactions which led to a nervous breakdown. Under treatment he
claimed that the sphere landed behind trees at the back of his
property, and that he walked 6.5km to the site, approaching within
300m of the sphere, which was hovering just above the ground, holding
his terrified dog in his arms. Through binoculars he observed about
3-4 men float from the object to the ground. They were 2.4-2.7m tall,
their whole bodies covered by glowing silver suits. Their heads
seemed disproportionately small for their size and their faces were
black blanks. A sort of chute appeared at the side of the object and
cylindrical metal cases came down it and the men placed them around
the edge of the illuminated area. Then about 40 head of “black
cattle” came down the shoot, driven away by normal looking farm
people with dogs. He refused to elaborate further. </span></span><br />

when he braked but accelerated again when he took his foot off the

changing colour, white, yellow, blue orange. The thing was about 5m
diameter. It passed over his car and hovered at 100m. The car stopped
and when Egidio tried to get out he realised it was being shaken by
some force. He remained in the car for about 90 minutes, until the
object took off, upon which the car behaved as normal. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mrs
Joyce Henderson had got up to get a glass of water and glanced out of
her window toward her parents’ house next door, when her attention
was caught by a series of lights movi8ng across the tree line in the
distance, towards Grantham. These lights were intensely white, like
the floodlights at baseball games and to have a wider angular
diameter than the full moon. There were two smaller lights over the
larger ones Joyce observed them moved back and forth over the field
for five minutes, bouncing or bobbing up and down like a cork. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Joyce
phoned her parents, who also observed the lights and then got her 11
year old daughter and they went outside for a better look. The lights
now appeared to be on an object, which descended towards them in an
undulating fashion, and stopped over some low pines about 100m from
the house. The two heard a soft whirring sound, like a very smaller
motor in the distance. The pines were 6m tall and the object appeared
to be at the height of a water tower. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
row of lights appeared to be 4.5m wide. Two smaller lights appeared
square and gave the impression of being openings through which light
was shining. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
11 year old girl, very frightened, ran back into the house and Joyce
followed her. They went to the window at the back of the house and
watched the thing as it bobbed along the field behind the house,
picking up speed as it went along to the north-east. After 20 minutes
the light went out and was not seen again. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mr
G and four other shooters on the flat swung their spotlights to the
northwest and almost immediately a row of lights lit up about 400m
away at ground level. They were unable to make out what was causing
these lights and they moved their location after about a minute. Now,
looking out over the new airstrip the shooters saw the lights again,
this time at 60m altitude The lights were greenish yellow in colour,
covering a length of about 3m, with a second row, about 1.5m long,
above them. They were unable to make out any shape behind these
lights. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
party then turned for the main road, the lights seeming to follow
until lost behind a hillside. Nearly back at the main road, they shot
a rabbit and G went to pick it up. The whole group was now disturbed
to see the lights just above the treetops a few hundred metres to the
north=west. Some of these lights were steading others were flashing
and the longer the men looked at them, the faster the lights flashed.
They decided not to investigate but drove away, stopping after a
short distance o look back, but were now unable to see anything
unusual. </span><br />

Angel Arcediano Lopez (17) was walking on a farm on the north side of
km 2.5 on the Madrid-Boadilla del Monte highway, in the
Ventorro-Plaza del Tetuan area, when he saw an object shaped like two
plates rim to rim, with a ball on top, descending slowly from the
mostly cloudy sky to the south-west. The thing had very bright,
blinking lights, and was spinning and vibrating at the same time. The
thing rose out of sight several times and then became visible again.
It finally went behind a military casement 2km to Miguel’s
south-west and disappeared into a depression there. It reappeared 10
minutes later, passed in front of the casement, rose vertically at
great speed and flew away to the north. Miguel was frightened by this
silent thing and reported no interference on his radio during the 2
hours observation. </span></span><br />

suddenly spotted an object, 15m wide, with red pulsing lights,
hovering over the pines. The object was turning rapidly clockwise but
the lights stayed static. After a few moments the object moved slowly
north out of sight behind trees. She caught further glimpses of the
object some distance ahead as she was driving home. It would stop and
moved sideways several times before continuing its journey. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Barnaba

of UFO investigator Ray Fowler. Joined by two neighbours, Larry
Roberts and a woman whose name was withheld, she went out again. All

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Santiago
Pulido Romero (46), a married man with six children, was driving to
his father’s farm in the dark, when he was struck by a brilliant
light as he passed a clump of trees. He then saw a strange object
coming toward him, about 100m above the ground at terrific speed, by
the side of the castle. . He was very frightened so he turned off the
car lights and carried on in second gear. The object followed hi,
about 70m to his right. When he reached the top of the hill, Santiago
turned on his car lights again, at which the object came towards him
again, only to retreat when he turned the lights off once more. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When
Santiago reached the farm house, he saw the object was hovering at
the gates at 100m altitude, , occasionally rising and then falling
again. S first thought of locking himself in the farm, but then,
seizing a pitchfork and gaining some courage, went out again, ready
to hide in the mountains if need be. The object was hovering over the
farm, lighting up the area like daylight. He then turned his
headlights on the thing, which dived . S quickly turned the lights
out again, at which the object stayed quiet for a time and then began
to move up and down again. At time the thing became a point light
like a star, at others it would come down as close as 60m and would
swing like a clock pendulum. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This
thing was a circular object 20m long, surmounted in the top centre by
a conical tower. The circular part was transparent and emitted an
intense yellow light, outlined against which, Santiago could see
three very tall beings, more than 2m tall, who appeared to be holding
on to some sort of control levers. They were wearing helmets and were
moving stiffly, “as if under orders”. The conical tower was
metallic in appearance. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Santiago
observed this until sunrise, that is for 90 minutes. When the sun
rose the object took off towards Villanueva at terrific speed. . The
object was also seen by a young boy going from Medellin to La Oliva,
who saw it from the road, two residents of San Benito and also
perhaps by two traffic policemen from Medellin. </span><br />

him out of the house, where he met an apparently older being with a

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mr
and Mrs Lanlois (both 26) had returned home to their mobile home on
an otherwise deserted lot, after a camping trip to Florida. Mrs
Lanlois was tired and had gone to bed, while her husband sat up to
watch the late TV show. The show had ended and he was just about to
go to bed when he heard a bumping sound outside, as if something had
fallen on the grass. Lifting the living room curtain he saw, hovering
over the field the North East, a reddish orange, round object, which
was so bright that it almost hurt his eyes. This object was a domed
disk, the dome surmounted by red and white lights, with an orange
rim, surrounded by oval white lights and with yellow beams coming
from the underside. He then went into the bedroom to wake his wife,
and while there heard a kind of buzzing sound. he looked out of the
bedroom window and saw a metallic, stiff looking entity, about 1.8m
tall,, with glowing red horizontal bars across the upper part of its
body, standing 4.5m from the window. he could not remember about its
head. This robot appeared to be inspecting the interior of a pre-fab
storage centre near the trailer. Shocked, the Lanlois couple went
into the living room, where, through the window, they observed three
more robots moving in a stiff fashion, who appeared to be examining
the shaft and wheel assembly of a mobile home which had not yet been
put on its foundations. They continued observing on and off, not
knowing what to do, for about 3 hours., during which time they saw 15
robots together in single file the creek. They stood there for about
5 minutes, before moving off all together, as if by remote control.
They appeared to float above the ground During this time two freight
trains passed. A neighbours dog had slipped out of its collar and hid
that night, though it was normally fearless. Three areas of disturbed
grass were found , one at the site of where the object had been, the
other two on the other side of the creek. They consisted of circles
5.1m diameter, with a ring of flattened grass 60cm diameter on the
edge, with a 4.5m diameter area of undisturbed grass at the centre.
Close to the shed they found a white substance which turned out to be

Quevedo Lazarte, a student from Bolivia was woken up by a sound
coming from his living room. On investigating he encountered a man
with very short white hair, dressed in a dark outfit and a belt on
which there various objects. Lucio feared a burglar but the being
promised to give him a great gift and pressed a rhomboid object to
Lucio’s face, at which he lost consciousness. When he recovered his
senses the entity had departed, so Lucio returned to bed. The next
day he awoke paralysed and a doctor diagnosed him as having a
“virulent disease”. However by noon he felt better but at
1500hrs. he jumped out of the window, apparently disappearing soon
after. At 1600hrs. he was found lying on top of another student, who
reported he had seen Lucio with two men who disappeared, leaving the
lad on the ground. When Lucio recovered he reported that he had been
caught in mid-air by two small beings that grabbed hold of him and
took him Mr Taapaca, a volcano, where he met other small beings
before being brought back. Triangular marks were found on his fingers
and traces were found by the volcano. </span></span><br />

that it was taking control and that he was in its power. The steering

the hallway into the living room and opened the front door. On the

which appeared flat on top; large, glowing, yellow eyes, a slit like
mouth and no ears or neck. They had small shoulders, gangly disjoined
arms that extended down to their knees, and which terminated in hands
without fingers, just a thumb. She invited them in, and they did so,
one standing by the door, the other by her green chair. The beings
seemed to communicated through telepathy, and she could “feel my

beings seemed enthralled by this. When she turned round they had
left. Neither her husband nor her three boys heard any of this.

they set off again, the light paced them. As they passed the main
road near Campania, where there were a few houses, it moved away and
higher, only to descend again as they re-entered open country. The
woman then felt that it was taking over the car and that she was in
its power. The steering became difficult, at one point the car was
drawn towards the object on the right hand side of the road and it
was an effort for he to take the car back. After the object had gone,
her shoulder ached from the effort of keeping the car on the road.

B (7) and Steven (9) and Henry S (7) were playing on the banks of the
Coquitlam River when they observed an inverted dish shaped object,
with a square protuberance on top, in which there was a door, and
which was surmounted by a red or colour changing flashing light.
Around the aperture was a row of lights, which changed colour, red,
green, white. The thing flew over the river and descended into a
gravelled area about 45m from the spot where the boys were. It had no
markings, emitted a buzzing sound and gave off a blast off hot air as
it touched down. The boys were frightened and ran into the house.
They told their parents and a neighbour, Mrs Lola Rogers about the
incident. The boys were pale and their eyes glazed. When Lola
accompanied the boys back to the site the next morning, they detected
a nauseating burning odour and found two black spots, one 1.65m in
diameter, the other 1.35m. Lola got some of this stuff in her hand
and it took a week of scrubbing to get it off. Investigator
Halishoff, a month later, found this residue lay 10cm below the
surface. Analysis showed the rock and soil had been subjected to a
great heat. Their cat was terrified during the incident. ( APRO

university students outside one of their homes on Estrada da Vista,
Chinesa, when their attention was caught by something shiny on the
woodland highway. Though dazzled by the sun, they were able to make
out two golden clad, helmeted beings, about 1.7m tall, floating down
the road towards them, about 50cm above the surface, They were
stepping as if on solid ground, though their legs seemed stiffish.
They were walking side by side, a short distance apart. They had
visors in their helmets, but as the sun was behind them, their faces
could not be seen. They wore boots like those of motorcyclists, of
the same colour as their suits, which resembled those of astronauts,
though they appeared to be made of a scaly texture. The girls ran
into the house and locked themselves in, very panic stricken.
According to Regina at about the same time, motorists at Silvestre in

Lydia felt afraid and began to shake. The next thing she knew was
that they were back towards Jacksonville on the Lem Turner road and
that three hours had elapsed. Lydia suffered intense headaches,
anxiety attacks and weeping sells, so Decemberided to undertake
hypnotic regression. Under regression she recalled being taken on
board a craft, where she was placed on a kind of table opposite
another woman. She was strapped onto this table by unknown persons,
who told her that the other woman would be placed inside her body and
that it would not hurt badly. Her head was placed inside something

out. When she awoke she felt a warm sensation coursing through her
body from the top of her head. The occupants took her off the table,
put a robe around her and said the was now one of them. Two of the

about 20m from the ground, apparently over a small brook in a hollow.
Then, very gradually, it split into two vertical hemispheres (like
half moons) that slowly drifted apart. The right hand half moon moved
off to the SSE ,gradually fading from sight. Then a sort of veil
appeared to be drawn across the other half moon, and on this new

like men dressed from head to toe in grey-white metallic material,
with voluminous helmets, like astronauts. They moved to and fro with
a rolling gait, like marionettes, their limbs moving in a mechanical

drove off to fetch his daughter home. He was too busy lecturing her

Antonio de |Azevedo and his wife Francisca Guimaraes de Azevedo were
strolling along the beach near the fishing port when they saw a disc
shaped object in the sky, giving off multicoloured light. They first
thought that it was a shooting star, then an aircraft, but it was
outside the time of day of any normal flights and was silent. The
object then landed close them, and they were able to see it resembled
two plates stuck together rim to rim. The couple were paralysed by
the lights given off by the object, from which emerged three strange
beings, wearing peculiar green spacesuits, who talked together in an
unknown language. They examined the couple and seized Francisca and
took off with her in their craft. The police considered the fisherman
to be deranged but then recalled another fisherman had told them an

end of the field, when looking up to check his position and slowing
down his mowing machine, he noticed a metallic dome, 3m wide, 1.5m
high, about 15m away, apparently sitting on the grassy area between
the slough and the crop area. He stopped, dismounted and walked to
within 5m of the object, noticing as he did so, that the grass around
the base of the thing was moving and that the thing itself was
rotating rapidly. He became frightened and backed away to the mower,
which was still running at full throttle. He climbed back onto his
machine and saw four more identical domes, hovering about 50cm above
the ground and spinning. Two of the objects were close together, and
the whole group was arranged in a rough semicircle around the slough.

walking in taremote rural location beside the Inguri River, 32km from
Kaishi four men (Dt A M Gregenidze, Dr A L Nikolayev, II Gershenon
and S p.Lezhava), all with a scientific or technical background,
encountered in an open area among the bushes, a 4m diameter sphere.
It rested on a sort of base, with outer elements 1.3m long, 20cm
thick and inner ones 40cm long, 10cm thick. The men approached the
thing, waving their arms but, as they got within 5m of it, they felt
an increasing fear, which after a further metre, became an abject
terror. Nikolayev got within 3m of the thing, at which he collapsed.
The others dragged him back to a camp 75m away. </span></span>

took 19 photographs of the thing. They threw stones at the thing,
which seemed to disappear inside it, and a stick pushed into it had
its end altered in some undefined way. They then gave up until 0523
the next morning, when they saw five small discs, 1m diameter, 35cm

began to feel the fear again.</span></span></div>

it gave off an orange light and the men experienced difficulty in
breathing. Three minutes after this a sort of fire appeared under the
object and it took off emitting a whistling sound, heading to the
northeast, accompanied by two of the smaller objects, the other three
of these going off to the west. Soil samples were taken, which showed

then turned into a rumbling sound. He went back to sleep again but
minutes later was awoken again by a flashing purple light outside,
which lit up his basement room, and seemed to quieten the crickets

saw a white light the size of a baseball go pass the window, and

Anthea Richards was returning home to her house “The Marshes”
19km north of St Helens, from Launceston, with her two daughters (8,
5). They were driving through the drizzle on the Anson’s Bay Road,
6.5-8km north of St Helens when, as they approached a bridge, Anthea
noticed static on the radio and the sky seemed illuminated. As they
crossed the bridge the car lost power on a gentle incline, and then
the engine, lights and radio went dead. She tried to start the car
but after 10 seconds the vehicle was shaken by a terrific noise like
“30 or 40 jets”. Anthea and the 8 year old were shattered by this
sound, but the 5 year old went on sleeping. Almost simultaneously
they were shaken by a series of strong electric shocks, fat worse
than that from an electric kettle, which lasted for about a minute.
Anthea screamed and the car became filled with a colourless choking
gas. Anthea and her eldest fled from the car, dragging the dozy 5
year old, to the Chappel house about 3km away. There Harvey Chappel
was alarmed by Anthea’s hysterical condition and returned with them
to the car. He saw nothing out of the normal and the car was working
perfectly (Chappel was a qualified mechanic), though the bonnet was
hot, suggesting that the engine might have overheated. Anthea
continued on her way. Her husband Brian heard a roar and saw a light
but thought nothing of it. The car was examined by a garage next day
and nothing was found wrong with it. Anthea’s arms and legs became
swollen, the right side of her face was numb and there was a red mark
the size of an Australian 2 cent piece over her right eyebrow. She
also suffered from extreme anxiety. The girls showed no after
affects. Anthea was regarded as sane and hardworking.</span></span></div>

he told his wife and children. His 11 year old son went out and saw
an inverted banana shape, half the apparent diameter of the moon
hovering over the treetops 100-150m from the house. It seemed
attracted by both the car and house lights, and when the house lights
were switched out, the object moved away, disappearing in 5 minutes.

then noticed the light was 4.5-6m above the trees. It was motionless
and continuously changing between red, yellow and orange. After about

off and as she did so she saw a glowing orange and silver object
coming between two trees and down the hill. It was 10-15m high and
descending towards the road. It appeared to be the size of a small
car 3-3.5m diameter. Barbara panicked and backed her car down the

ran the 1.6km home. When her husband and son returned for the car
they found nothing unusual. Her permed hair turned straight after the

Suddenly he heard a deafening road, and fearing an explosion, dived

direction from whence it had come. It first flew with a wavy motion,
emitting a low drone and then accelerated away at unbelievable speed,
vanishing in a fraction of a second. As the shaken family got back in

Dan R, who had had several UFO experiences in the previous few days,
was sat up reading when he heard a terrific sound outside. Through
the windows he saw a helicopter with many windows and a star on its
side, propellers spinning on its top and with a single white light.
The object swirled up debris and damaged the pear tree. He called his
father Walter and they both saw the object take off vertically amid
many electric wires and trees. They though it was the government
warning them to keep off military secrets. (Stringfield 1978b p82

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Merchant
seaman Mr Le Bihan and his wife (both 46) were awoken by their son
Younic, a sergeant in the air force, who rushed into their bedroom
after returning from a night out, and asked them to look through the
window of his darkened room. Through this they could see an
illuminated object in a field 500m away. Through binoculars they
could see it was the upper portion of a hemisphere, with vaporous,
indefinite outlines, which glowed like furnace. In its centre were
some sort of portholes emitting a peculiar, indefinable but beautiful
orange green colour. On each side of the base was a vivid red light,
twice the size of a car headlight, which also ill defined. The object
appeared to be oscillating about 60cm above the ground, and to be 10m
wide, 7m high. . The area was then thrown into darkness, and they
could see a yellow luminous point in the sky, disappearing at high
speed. Then first Younic, then his mother, saw, through the
binoculars, three 1.7m tall, very fat entities, moving heavily and
wobbling from side to side “like astronauts on the moon”. They
were dressed in suits which resembled molten metal or aluminium foil
that gave them the appearance of Michelin Men. They had round heads
but no facial features could be discerned. The trio then turned and
headed straight to the witnesses in a “V” formation. The family,
fearing they were about to be attacked, fled the house to go to Mrs
Le Bihan’ mother’s further up the street. . Mrs Le Bihan became
hysterical, and they had to drag here into a neighbours house. This
neighbour, a retired gendarme, confirmed that the witnesses faces
were green and contorted with terror. During the event and flight
their dog howled dreadfully. The weather had been stormy (with two
especially loud thunderclaps) but had calmed by the time of the
experience. No traces were found. Mrs Le Bihan’s clock had stopped
at the times of the experience, but was running normally next
morning. She suffered from major shock, insomnia, headaches, feeling
“her brain was wrapped in cotton” and prickling for three days
afterwards and lost 12 kg in weight. Both father and son were also
shocked. . Younic explained that he had returned home after taking
his girlfriend to her house, had just finished a snack and gone to
his room, when there was the last, violent, thunderclap. He then saw
a yellow-orange light coming in through the window. Looking out he
saw what he thought was a fire at a nearby farm and got out the
binoculars. Through them he saw three rectangles of bright red light,
which resembled traps doors, and below these, three phosphorescent
masses like sheep, which appeared to be circling something. The red
rectangles were on an object with a pedestal 1m tall, surmounted by a
dull grey truncated cone 4m tall that was partially obscured by an
obstacle. He then saw three humanoid silhouettes and went to get his
parents. He thought the object had made a slight lateral somersault
before it disappeared, and that the beings were moving above the
ground. Meanwhile, the fish warden, Alexandre Duigiou (36) and his
wife Marie-Francoise (26) had been awoken by a loud sound. They went
to unplug the television and found the lights didn’t work. They
then felt an extreme heat and saw an intense neon light coming
through their shutters. They did not look to see what it was and five
minutes later the electricity came back on. Two weeks later Alexandre
found three rectangular burnt traces 60X0cm in the grass, where it
looked as though the grass had been scorched by a chemical. (MUFON

number of airmen on the American base at RAF Alconbury were said to
have seen a hairy creature intrude on the base, setting off alarms.
One witness was Wesley Uptegrove one of the bunker guards, who was
alerted to an intruder on the base. Seeing a figure in the fog he
pulled over and rolled the window down to speak to what he thought
was another guard. Instead he was confronted by a hair bipedal
creature that screamed at him loudly. The being then ran off, pursued
by Wesley. It evaded a second guard, who fired at it but missed. It
dragged the third man’s dogs away from his grasp. The creature ran
off with huge bounds and leapt over the perimeter fence, disappearing
into woods. It was a hairy biped, about 1.73m tall, with human eyes,
a flat nose, large ears and teeth. The face was narrow around the
eyes, but wider at top and bottom. It had muscular “frog like”
thighs and horse like lower limbs. On the same night these same
guards had seen a floating apparition. (Hanson and Holloway 2011c

Loyal and his wife were in the living room of their mobile home,

through the curtained window. When she opened the curtains she saw an
area about 12 m diameter bathed in an orange glow, apparently coming
from a burning orange object moving towards their trailer just above
the trees. Mrs L called out to Eugene and the couple ran to the porch
to observe the object move in a straight line to the wooded area.
When in the distance, the thing did not appear to be burning. The
object had come within 10m of their trailer and was at an altitude of
15m. It appeared to be an elongated object, about 1m diameter, was
brilliant orange and was travelling south-west to north-east.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mrs
Edmoana Toews and Mrs Nuria Hanson, were driving back to their home
state Alaska from a religious meeting in Michigan. They had a meal in
Fort Nelson and were driving slowly along the foggy highway when,
nearing the summit of Steamboat Mountain (c 1,050m), they observed a
bright light on the mountain slope across the valley, then a second
in the sky above the first. The second light approached them in an
oscillating movement, then hovered between them and the mountain, now
the apparent size of the full moon. It blinked out, reappeared
brighter, growing to brilliant white, then shot up into the sky. They
now directed their attention to the object on the slope. It resembled
a “Derby Hat” with a row of portholes on the bottom of the dome,
just above the rim. To avoid an accident they turned into an
abandoned driveway and sat observing the object for 45 minutes. The
object in the sky came closer, larger and more brilliant, hovered
over the landed object, which changed glow from yellow to bright
orange. It appeared to be 27m diameter from brim to brim. The object
then took off, lifted between 30-45m and landed again. The orange
glow grew darker but gave off several bright orange flashes. On three
occasions the light in the sky took off and was lost in the
background of stars, at which the landed object resumed its bright
yellow glow. After 15 minutes, a southbound truck stopped for 10
minutes but the ladies, for some reason, did not approach the driver.
At 2235hrs. they resumed their journey. As they became fatigued they
started to pray and sing hymns to relax. They then found that the
terrain was not proving difficult anymore and that the car seemed to
be driving itself. Mrs Toews, who was driving, was able to put her
arms on her lap. They felt peaceful and calm. The car seemed
surrounded by a light, even in the fog. They noticed another shadow
on the road and when they looked, they saw a single fluffy cloud,
illuminated by a light from something above it. They found the first
lodge closed and moved on the second one 110km further on. During
this journey the oil gauge didn’t register. At the Munch Lake
Lodge, also closed, they got out and were joined by a young man,
dressed only in shirt and slacks, who asked for a lift to the next
lodge 130km further on. He sat hunched up on Mrs Hanson’s lap, to
whom he felt curiously light. He then moved to the console between
the two seats. He said his name was Gordon. During the further
journey, in which they saw the light in the sky again, he discussed
with them topics such as angels and life on other worlds. They then
noticed he was sat a few centimetres above the pillow on the console.
They began to panic again when it was clear he was levitating, but he
stared at them and said he was PK, which caused them to stop
puzzling. “Gordon” told them to book into the next lodge, which
they did, sleeping in the lobby. “Gordon” got out with them, but
when they turned round to thank him he was no where to be seen and
theirs were the only tracks in the snow. Only on the next Night. did
they realised what a strange experience they had undergone. Mrs Toews
also realised that “Gordon” resembled her husband Jim, and his
middle name was Gordon. On the 20th they drove through a snow storm,
but there was no snow falling on the road. They met no cars, except
when their car engine failed on a down slope, and two young men in a
jeep got out and fixed it. They seemed to know the ladies were going
to Anchorage and followed them. They dropped behind however and when
the ladies stopped for them to catch up, there was no sign of them.
The strange cloud seen on the 18th followed them on the rest of the
journey. They put a religious interpretation on the events.</span></span></div>

driller Carl Higdon (40) was hunting for elk on the north ridge of
the forest</span>, <span style="font-size: medium;">about 65km to the south of Rawlings,
when he saw five elk as walked over a hill. He fired at them, the
bullet dropped after only going 15m. He went and picked up the bullet
then heard a twig snap, and in the shadow of the trees to his right
he saw a figure. The being was about 1.85m tall, appeared to weigh
180 pounds, was dressed in a black suit and shoes, wore a belt with a
star in the middle and a yellow emblem below. It was bow legged, had
a flattened head on which were two antenna and straight up thin hair,
and had no chin. The being asked Higdon is he was hungry, and getting
an affirmative reply gave him four tablets. Higdon took one and put
the container containing the others in his pocket. The being, who
called himself Ausso, said these were “four day pills” and asked
Higdon if he wanted to go with him</span>. <span style="font-size: medium;">When Higdon
agreed the creature pointed an appendage on his sleeve at him and
Higdon found himself in a transparent cubical along with “Ausso”.
He was sat in a chair with bands around his arms and a sort of helmet
on his head, from which came four wires. On a console opposite were
three levers that “Ausso” manipulated. Through what looked like a
mirror on the</span> <span style="font-size: medium;">upper right, Higdon could see five
elk in a sort of cage, not moving, yet he estimated the cage to be
only 2m square. When “Ausso” manipulated the largest lever the
contraption seemed to be moving. Higdon could see the earth below,
looking like a basket ball. A second being disappeared when they
landed, “Ausso” saying they had travelled 163,000 light miles.
Outside the cubicle was a huge tower, about 27m high, with a powerful
rotating light and a sound like an electric razor. Standing outside
the tower were five people (adult male, teenage boy and girl and two
girls of about 10-14) who were dressed in ordinary clothes and
appeared to be talking amongst themselves. “Ausso” took him into
the tower, then said he was not what was needed. Next he found
himself back in the cubicle with “Ausso” who gave him back his
gun, saying it was primitive. He then pointed at the largest lever
and Higdon found himself on a slope. His foot hit a loose rock and he
fell hurting his head, neck and shoulder. Dazed and not knowing who
or where he was, he managed to get back to his truck and call on the
Citizen Band Radio. Authorities were alerted and he was found at 2330
that Night. and taken to hospital. His eyes were bloodshot and teared
constantly. At first his appetite was poor but a couple of days later
he was ravenous. He later recalled that “Ausso” had only six
teeth, three on top and three below and that “Ausso” had told him
there were no fish on his planet, that the sun’s rays burned him,
and that they were taking animals back for breeding purposes. (Leo

D (29), his wife S (25) and his three children (8, 7, 4) were driving
home from his parents in law in Harold’s Hill, when the 7 year old
drew his parents attention to a light just above the houses, about
450m to the east. It appeared larger than the apparent size of Venus
and the</span>y <span style="font-size: medium;">thought it was the light on a
helicopter. The road was unusually quiet. The light paced them down
Park Farm Road, then went down a dip and was obscured by bushes. As
they passed a gravel pit on the Aveley Road they noticed that they
could not hear the car tyres or engine, though they could hear the
radio. They felt something was wrong, and as they rounded a bend,
they saw a deep green mist banked 2.5m high, on the road about 30m
away. At this point the radio began to crackle and smoke so J pulled
the wires out. The lights then went out. The fog enveloped the car
which jerked violently. It seemed light, very cold, dead silent and
their was a tingling feeling. They lost track of time, but after what
seemed like a second or two there was a jolt and the mist had gone.
They were now 800m down the road. J seemed to think he was in the car
on his own for a while, shortly afterwards his wife came too also,
and they carried on home, only to find it was 0100hrs. hours, the
journey normally only taking twenty minutes. They were tired and
nervous. After the incident the car started to act up and was
disposed of. Following a nervous breakdown in the December, J and S
became vegetarians and concerned with ecology. There were MIB and
poltergeist incidents and a nocturnal hum. When the investigation
started in September 1977, S began to remember standing in front of a
blue car on a platform with machinery to the left</span>, <span style="font-size: medium;">around
which men in one piece suits were moving, and being led to a room
where there was a small ugly person. This appeared to be the recall
of a dream. Under regression J recalled being in a room with tall,
“peaceful” beings in one piece suits. He was on a table while a
sort of bar moved over him. The beings seemed to communicate by
telepathy and showed him a diagram with marks on it. There was also a
small furry creature. Amplified later with an account of a beam of
light penetrating the car, him feeling as though he was being lifted
up then blacking out. He was then on a platform looking at a couple
and their family, who he identified with himself and his family,
through his car was white, not blue as this one was. S and the 7 year
old were with him, behind was a being 7m tall. He next came to, on
the table with the bar passing over him. There were three tall beings
and two small ugly entities, the latter performing the examination.
They were 1.2m tall with long white gowns,. furry heads, long
triangular slanted eyes, beak, slit mouth, pointed ears, large hairy
hands with four taloned digits. When they left J was able to sit up
and examine the room which was 6m long, 3.6m wide, 2.1-2.4m high,
everything in it smooth, like the inside of a bubble. One of the tall
beings was 7m tall, other 1.95m, wearing one piece suits and masks.
They had large eyes and appeared to be jointless. J was taken in a
laboratory then a sort of cabin, then to the control room. The
entities showed him a series of pictures and holograms and appeared
to communicate something about their planet’s pollution problems.
Then there was a hologram of a hooded figure holding a ball, which J
was asked to touch. S recalled under regression a more complete
medical examination by the furries. After this she was taken into
another room where she was offered sweets, but, as she was about to
Decemberline, they were taken away. They seemed to communicate
through telepathy. She was asked to touch the ball, as J had been and
told that this was “the seed of their life”. She recalled
dressing and hurrying the others up. The car appeared to be moving
off and she seemed to follow it through the lanes until she entered
it. (Andrew Collins, Barry King and Leonard Wilder in FSR 23, 6 p13

minutes later he realised that the moon was in front of him. Looking
over his shoulder again he saw the white object pacing them at 30m
altitude, parallel to the road, as they did 70kph, and aterted his
family to it. It appeared to be 15-18m in diameter and to be a flat
convex shaped thing, with indistinct outlines, larger than the
apparent diameter of the moon. The thing stopped, started and changed
direction with them, and was visible when they got out of the car. It
made no noise as it paced them for 30m minutes, until they made the
final turn towards their house in a built up area, upon which the
object rose straight up, hesitated for a moment, veered away and
disappeared at moderate speed. ( Donald R Todd in APRO Bulletin 23, 4

Sedore was going to the pump house to get some water for the horses

might be a barn fire or car crash, he drove out to get aid. He found
that the light was well off the road and emitted a blue haze. As he
approached as close as the road would allow, the object began to lift
up. It was shaped like one saucer inverted over the other, with a gap
in the centre. The top half was hazy blue in colour and appeared to
be rotating in a counter clockwise direction, while the bottom half
was the colour of molten metal and was rotating clockwise. The whole
thing appeared to be the size of his barn and about 30m in diameter.
As it took off in a gentle arc towards the NW, Gary felt hypnotised
and unable to take his eyes off it. As it moved away towards
Bellhaven, Gary got into his car and tried to follow it. After a
while it arced round and disappeared in the south. (Haisell 1978

south of Colebrook, the crew of the Hobart-Launceston train saw a v
very bright light appear from behind a hill and curve towards them
and then hover in front of the hills. After four minutes it was
hidden by the terrain. When the trains topped to load milk cans art
Stonar at 2215 they observed an object moving NW at 16kph above some
18m high pines by a house to the southeast. The thing then turned
north towards the train, which it flew above at 15m altitude. It was
a long narrow object 9-12m long, like an elongated egg, with a golden
orange colour and 3-6 lights along its underside and with two or
three lights at each end, which illuminated the ground. The thing
disappeared after 5 minutes. (William K Roberts in APRO Bulletin 24,

William Bosak (68) was driving to his farm south-east of Frederic
from a Farmers’ Co-op meeting in town, along County Road W. He was
driving slowly because of patch fog, when, about 9.5km east of
Frederic, his headlights caught, about 2-2.5m away what looked like a
curved front of glass, inside of which, illuminated by a bright light
which had no discernible source, was a creature with its arms raised
above its head. Its bottom half was obscured by the fog, as was the
bottom half of the object, which was vaguely discoid. The tube stood
about 2.5-3m high and tapered to a bullet shaped peak. The creature
was generally human in shape, covered everywhere except for the face
and chin with a dark tan fur, which ran along the top and side of the
rectangular shaped head. The ears were stretched out about 75cm and
resembled calf’s ears. Bosak thought that the tan fur may have been
on a suit, but there were no seems nor buttons. The creature’s eyes
were protruding as if it were afraid. Startled, Bosak accelerated
past, and as he did so his car lights dimmed, the inside of his car
became dark. He heard a whooshing sound and a sound like branches
brushing against the car. He was afraid to go out for some nights,
and it was a time before he would even tell his wife and son of the
incident. He returned to the spot some days later but could find
nothing. (Everett Lightner in APRO Bulletin 23, 4 p1 citing own

daughter in a position to come to the door. The two saw the object
about 10m above a spruce tree 20m away across the yard. The thing
resembled a cigar with rounded ends, 10m or so long and about a third
as thick. The thing’s lower portion was orange, the upper portion
was blue. The upper potion emitted an orange beam but there was no
similar blue beam from the underside. The thing made no sound. After
some 10s of seconds the thing shot off at incredible speed. After the
incident Mrs suffered insomnia, anxiety and depression. (Gerard

were numerous reports of an object with bright coloured lights
submitted to the sheriff’s department. At about the same time four
people reported seeing a humanoid figure wearing a silver and black
suit, with some sort of helmet, in the Forest Acres area. When
observed the figure would jump into the bushes and disappear. They
reported this to dispatcher Fred Barnes who said they sounded sober.
Four deputies were sent to the area but they found nothing. (Ted

He looked back to confirm his co-workers Fermin Osborne and J C Rourke were safely behind the crane. Jack shaded his eyes with his crane jib and now saw that the figure was a massive, dark, muscular figure 1.8-2m tall covered by thick black hair. As Jack watched the creature walked back into the woods, putting an arm against a tree as it did so, and then turn to the right and disappear, moving in a smooth motion. His two companions did not see the thing. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The next day Osborne and Rourke went into the trees for some shade when they saw a huge shape in the bushes to their left.

As they passed the main road near Campania where there were a few houses, the thing moved further away and higher, only to descend again as they re-enetered open country. The driver then felt that it was taking control and that he was in its power. The steering became difficult and at one point they were drawn to the object on the right hand side of the road and it was an effort to get back.

From the base of the object a sort of fixed light was pointing to the ground and a sort of “pillow of red dust” was being raised between the base and the ground.

On the doorstep stood two beings, grey, 1.5m tall, with oversized heads, which appeared flat on top; large, glowing, yellow eyes, a slit like mouth and no ears or neck. They had small shoulders, gangly disjoined arms that extended down to their knees, and which terminated in hands without fingers, just a thumb. She invited them in, and they did so, one standing by the door, the other by her green chair. The beings seemed to communicated through telepathy, and she could “feel my thoughts leaving my head”. She started to play the organ and the beings seemed enthralled by this. When she turned round they had left. Neither her husband nor her three boys heard any of this. </span><br />

As the thing hovered it dropped a number of dark “animate masses” which then proceeded to amble away. These things had no clear features except for two evenly spaced red dots, which glowed like light bulbs, which seemed to alter their distance apart as the things moved about. The main object rotated on its axis and shot away into the night. The witnesses developed symptoms similar to sunburn and eye irritation and had trouble sleeping. The next day unusual tracks were found at the site. </span></div>

It was about 1.5m tall, walked with a forward lunge, lurched from side to side and appeared to hop, its arms swinging from side to side. The being worn no shirt and they thought it had a hairy torso. Dark trousers with no visible bottoms extended to hooves rather than feet, the hooves making a loud clicking sound on the pavement. It had a bald head, but had hair on the lower portion of its face, no other facial features were visible. They turned around at the end of the street but the entity had gone.

It was an oval object with a red light on the top front and a larger bottom light. They stopped and saw the object hovering; when they set off again, the light paced them. As they passed the main road near Campania, where there were a few houses, it moved away and higher, only to descend again as they re-entered open country. The woman then felt that it was taking over the car and that she was in its power. The steering became difficult, at one point the car was drawn towards the object on the right hand side of the road and it was an effort for he to take the car back.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">David B (7) and Steven (9) and Henry S (7) were playing on the banks of the Coquitlam River when they observed an inverted dish shaped object, with a square protuberance on top, in which there was a door, and which was surmounted by a red or colour changing flashing light. Around the aperture was a row of lights, which changed colour, red, green, white. The thing flew over the river and descended into a gravelled area about 45m from the spot where the boys were. It had no markings, emitted a buzzing sound and gave off a blast off hot air as it touched down. The boys were frightened and ran into the house. They told their parents and a neighbour, Mrs Lola Rogers about the incident. The boys were pale and their eyes glazed. When Lola accompanied the boys back to the site the next morning, they detected a nauseating burning odour and found two black spots, one 1.65m in diameter, the other 1.35m. Lola got some of this stuff in her hand and it took a week of scrubbing to get it off. Investigator Halishoff, a month later, found this residue lay 10cm below the surface. Analysis showed the rock and soil had been subjected to a great heat. Their cat was terrified during the incident. </span><br />

As the thing moved across the lake it was mobbed by three pigeons. The observation lasted two minutes. </span><br />

Though dazzled by the sun, they were able to make out two golden clad, helmeted beings, about 1.7m tall, floating down the road towards them, about 50cm above the surface, They were stepping as if on solid ground, though their legs seemed stiffish. They were walking side by side, a short distance apart. They had visors in their helmets, but as the sun was behind them, their faces could not be seen. They wore boots like those of motorcyclists, of the same colour as their suits, which resembled those of astronauts, though they appeared to be made of a scaly texture. The girls ran into the house and locked themselves in, very panic stricken. According to Regina at about the same time, motorists at Silvestre in the same state were approached by a being “with the looks of a woman with flowing hair that looked like blades of steel” as if trying to stop them for a lift. </span><br />

They turned off the main road to get a better look, but Lydia felt afraid and began to shake. The next thing she knew was that they were back towards Jacksonville on the Lem Turner road and that three hours had elapsed. Lydia suffered intense headaches, anxiety attacks and weeping sells, so decided to undertake hypnotic regression. Under regression she recalled being taken on board a craft, where she was placed on a kind of table opposite another woman. She was strapped onto this table by unknown persons, who told her that the other woman would be placed inside her body and that it would not hurt badly. Her head was placed inside something and the table began to revolve at increasing speed until she passed out. When she awoke she felt a warm sensation coursing through her body from the top of her head. The occupants took her off the table, put a robe around her and said the was now one of them. Two of the beings led her back to the car, she felt weak on her feet. Her friend was slumped over the wheel. Later she claimed to be an alien called Antron, claimed psychic powers, healing ability, predicated cataclysm and preached a sort of space age salvation. </span><br />

It was surrounded by a luminous white corona, and was about 200m away to the SSW. he went in the got his wife (57), who joined him outside. They both observed the object, which after 15 minutes came to a a halt about 20m from the ground, apparently over a small brook in a hollow. Then, very gradually, it split into two vertical hemispheres (like half moons) that slowly drifted apart. The right hand half moon moved off to the SSE ,gradually fading from sight. Then a sort of veil appeared to be drawn across the other half moon, and on this new background, at first one then another being appeared. They looked like men dressed from head to toe in grey-white metallic material, with voluminous helmets, like astronauts. They moved to and fro with a rolling gait, like marionettes, their limbs moving in a mechanical fashion, and they changed places as though on a flat surface. This continued until 2200, leaving the witnesses fascinated but a little afraid. They then remembered that their daughter had not yet come home. Mrs Moret went inside to make the table, while Mr Moret drove off to fetch his daughter home. He was too busy lecturing her on the way back to noticed if the object was still in the sky.

It came from a white light that was approaching at high speed. She thought it was a vehicle trying to overtake so she moved to the left. She then saw the car on her right, and the car vibrated up and down, causing her to hold on tightly to the steering wheel. Though she pressed the accelerator no power came on, as if the engine had stopped. The light then just vanished.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Edwin Fuhr (36) had been harvesting his rape crop for almost an hour in a field, located 450m south of his house, on his farm about 0km north east of Langenburg. He was closing on a slough located at the south end of the field, when looking up to check his position and slowing down his mowing machine, he noticed a metallic dome, 3m wide, 1.5m high, about 15m away, apparently sitting on the grassy area between the slough and the crop area. He stopped, dismounted and walked to within 5m of the object, noticing as he did so, that the grass around the base of the thing was moving and that the thing itself was rotating rapidly. He became frightened and backed away to the mower, which was still running at full throttle. He climbed back onto his machine and saw four more identical domes, hovering about 50cm above the ground and spinning. Two of the objects were close together, and the whole group was arranged in a rough semicircle around the slough. During this observation he was unable to move. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After several minutes the objects suddenly ascended, in a step formation, to 60m, where they stopped in a perfect line, emitted a puff of smoke from exhausts at their base, accompanied by an air blast that knocked Fuhr’s hat off and flattened the rape standing in the immediate area. After remaining stationary for one or two minutes, the objects took off into the low cloud and disappeared. Fuhr later learned that at this time cattle in a nearby field panicked and broke through a fence in four places. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> After the objects had left he approached the landing site and found five rings of grass, which had been depressed and swirled in a clockwise direction. In the early hours of that morning a neighbour’s baby sitter was frightened by the barking of the dogs. On the night of the second the dogs were barking again and Fuhr’s TV was acting up, the next day a 6th ring was found, and on the 15th a seventh, after the dogs had been barking again. Fuhr and his family suffered harassment from locals. </span><br />

It rested on a sort of base, with outer elements 1.3m long, 20cm thick and inner ones 40cm long, 10cm thick. The men approached the thing, waving their arms but, as they got within 5m of it, they felt an increasing fear, which after a further metre, became an abject terror.

They were driving through the drizzle on the Anson’s Bay Road, 6.5-8km north of St Helens when, as they approached a bridge, Anthea noticed static on the radio and the sky seemed illuminated. As they crossed the bridge the car lost power on a gentle incline, and then the engine, lights and radio went dead. She tried to start the car but after 10 seconds the vehicle was shaken by a terrific noise like “30 or 40 jets”. Anthea and the 8 year old were shattered by this sound, but the 5 year old went on sleeping. Almost simultaneously they were shaken by a series of strong electric shocks, fat worse than that from an electric kettle, which lasted for about a minute. Anthea screamed and the car became filled with a colourless choking gas. Anthea and her eldest fled from the car, dragging the dozy 5 year old, to the Chappel house about 3km away. There Harvey Chappel was alarmed by Anthea’s hysterical condition and returned with them to the car. He saw nothing out of the normal and the car was working perfectly (Chappel was a qualified mechanic), though the bonnet was hot, suggesting that the engine might have overheated. Anthea continued on her way. Her husband Brian heard a roar and saw a light but thought nothing of it. The car was examined by a garage next day and nothing was found wrong with it. </span><br />

It was a vaguely defined patch of light, pacing his car about 800m behind at speeds of 30-50 kphn. It seemed to be 4 times the apparent size of the moon. This experience lasted 30 minutes. When Brian arrived home he told his wife and children. His 11 year old son went out and saw an inverted banana shape, half the apparent diameter of the moon hovering over the treetops 100-150m from the house. It seemed attracted by both the car and house lights, and when the house lights were switched out, the object moved away, disappearing in 5 minutes. </span><br />

They then noticed the light was 4.5-6m above the trees. It was motionless and continuously changing between red, yellow and orange. After about six minutes it began to lift higher above the trees.

She heard the 1720 time on the car radio, at which the whole area was illuminated by a light that penetrated the interior of the car, and at the same time a high pitched whistle developed on the radio. She leaned over to turn it off and as she did so she saw a glowing orange and silver object coming between two trees and down the hill. It was 10-15m high and descending towards the road. It appeared to be the size of a small car 3-3.5m diameter. Barbara panicked and backed her car down the road but the object kept approaching until it was at fence top height, in the centre of the road 20-30m away. After Barbara had backed up 100m, her car backed over the steep bank of the road, and became stuck. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She was now able to observe the object directly in front of her. On its top was a dome, which gave off an intense yellow-orange light that obscured its details. On the silver-grey brim there were what looked like portholes, below which there was an area on which there were 6-8 reversed stepped bands, covering a depth of 1,5m. In the centre of the base was a small revolving disc and below this a protruding box or tube of short length. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After about 60 seconds the thing dipped to the right and moved away from the road over a valley area alongside the road, and then rose straight up and was lost to sight. As it took off the bottom tube seemed to split into four sections. Barbara leapt from the car and ran the 1.6km home. When her husband and son returned for the car they found nothing unusual. Her permed hair turned straight after the encounter, she became nervous and sick for some days and the radio, which had previously worked normally now showed distortion. The car hood was now clean though the rest of the car was dirty, cats paw marks on it cleaned away. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A high ranking Swedish army officer was driving with his wife and two children along a gravel road when, as they entered a long curve, they saw a blinding light ahead. The army man dimmed his lights, thinking it was ca car approaching with its headlights full on. However, when they reached the straight section ahead they saw it was an aerial object 900m ahead. As the object slowly approached from a clearing, at an altitude of 10m, the car engine began to splutter and after a further 100m, it died, along with the lights and radio. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The object passed the roadway 200m ahead of them, still at 10m altitude and then seemed to land 75m to the left of the road, in front of a stack of fire logs, illuminating a wide area with a brilliant green shimmering light. The man wound down his windscreen and heard a sound like a swarm of bees as the object’s lights dimmed. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Through 7x50 binoculars, he observed a white, egg shaped object, 10m long and a few metres high, with a smooth surface. His wife was very agitated and he tried to start the car without success. . After a few minutes, despite the protests of his family, the officer got out of the car to examine the engine, noting the object hovering just above the ground. Suddenly he heard a deafening road, and fearing an explosion, dived behind the car, calling on his family to take cover. They got out and joined him behind the car from where they observed the object take off with a rocking motion, again illuminating the surroundings with its green light. The thing flew off slowly at 30m altitude, in the direction from whence it had come. It first flew with a wavy motion, emitting a low drone and then accelerated away at unbelievable speed, vanishing in a fraction of a second. As the shaken family got back in their car, they noticed that the radio was now playing. The engine and headlights worked perfectly. They suffered from slight headaches and diarrhoea, starting 30 hours after the incident and lasting for three days. The investigator could find no trace at the site. </span><br />

A car driver was suddenly surrounded by a dazzling red light that lit up the area. The car engine, lights and radio all failed. After several attempts the drivee was able to restart and turn on the lights. A cone of white, neon like light came down towards the car. A bumbling sound and a sound like broken glass was heard on the car roof and then a 30cm spurt of flame appeared from the car radio. The engine and lights failed again and the radio faded out. After about five seconds a distinct click was heard and everything worked normally again. Examination of the car revealed no marks and everything appeared to be undamaged. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Merchant seaman Mr Le Bihan and his wife (both 46) were awoken by their son Younic, a sergeant in the air force, who rushed into their bedroom after returning from a night out, and asked them to look through the window of his darkened room. Through this they could see an illuminated object in a field 500m away. Through binoculars they could see it was the upper portion of a hemisphere, with vaporous, indefinite outlines, which glowed like furnace. In its centre were some sort of portholes emitting a peculiar, indefinable but beautiful orange green colour. On each side of the base was a vivid red light, twice the size of a car headlight, which also ill defined. The object appeared to be oscillating about 60cm above the ground, and to be 10m wide, 7m high. . The area was then thrown into darkness, and they could see a yellow luminous point in the sky, disappearing at high speed. Then first Younic, then his mother, saw, through the binoculars, three 1.7m tall, very fat entities, moving heavily and wobbling from side to side “like astronauts on the moon”. They were dressed in suits which resembled molten metal or aluminium foil that gave them the appearance of Michelin Men. They had round heads but no facial features could be discerned. The trio then turned and headed straight to the witnesses in a “V” formation. The family, fearing they were about to be attacked, fled the house to go to Mrs Le Bihan’ mother’s further up the street. . Mrs Le Bihan became hysterical, and they had to drag here into a neighbours house. This neighbour, a retired gendarme, confirmed that the witnesses faces were green and contorted with terror. During the event and flight their dog howled dreadfully. The weather had been stormy (with two especially loud thunderclaps) but had calmed by the time of the experience. No traces were found. Mrs Le Bihan’s clock had stopped at the times of the experience, but was running normally next morning. She suffered from major shock, insomnia, headaches, feeling “her brain was wrapped in cotton” and prickling for three days afterwards and lost 12 kg in weight. Both father and son were also shocked. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Younic explained that he had returned home after taking his girlfriend to her house, had just finished a snack and gone to his room, when there was the last, violent, thunderclap. He then saw a yellow-orange light coming in through the window. Looking out he saw what he thought was a fire at a nearby farm and got out the binoculars. Through them he saw three rectangles of bright red light, which resembled traps doors, and below these, three phosphorescent masses like sheep, which appeared to be circling something. The red rectangles were on an object with a pedestal 1m tall, surmounted by a dull grey truncated cone 4m tall that was partially obscured by an obstacle. He then saw three humanoid silhouettes and went to get his parents. He thought the object had made a slight lateral somersault before it disappeared, and that the beings were moving above the ground. Meanwhile, the fish warden, Alexandre Duigiou (36) and his wife Marie-Francoise (26) had been awoken by a loud sound. They went to unplug the television and found the lights didn’t work. They then felt an extreme heat and saw an intense neon light coming through their shutters. They did not look to see what it was and five minutes later the electricity came back on. Two weeks later Alexandre found three rectangular burnt traces 60X0cm in the grass, where it looked as though the grass had been scorched by a chemical. </span><br />

It was hovering over a field about 30m away. They slowed down to about 8 kph, and noticed that the occupants of another car had stopped to get out to view the thing, which was below cloud level. They eventually lost sight of the object behind trees. </span><br />

One witness was Wesley Uptegrove one of the bunker guards, who was alerted to an intruder on the base. Seeing a figure in the fog he pulled over and rolled the window down to speak to what he thought was another guard. Instead he was confronted by a hair bipedal creature that screamed at him loudly. The being then ran off, pursued by Wesley. It evaded a second guard, who fired at it but missed. It dragged the third man’s dogs away from his grasp. The creature ran off with huge bounds and leapt over the perimeter fence, disappearing into woods. It was a hairy biped, about 1.73m tall, with human eyes, a flat nose, large ears and teeth. The face was narrow around the eyes, but wider at top and bottom. It had muscular “frog like” thighs and horse like lower limbs. On the same night these same guards had seen a floating apparition. </span><br />

They were human shaped and each wore a bright white light. After a few minutes the figures began to walk towards the girls. At that point the bus arrived and the girls boarded it. Through the window, they saw two figures returning to the object, which took off at high speed and disappeared. The observation lasted 20 minutes. The next day, one of the girls returned to the site and found a circle several metres diameter where the grass was burned and blackened. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mr Houghton and his wife had been up late celebrating his 65th birthday. As a former miner with a chest complaint, he slept with the window and curtains open. He was woken by a bright light which filled the bedroom and also woke his wife. Fearing an accident outside, Mrs H went to the window to investigate and then called her husband over. They saw a huge object about 70m away, hovering low behind the trees. The thing had a domed to and a rectangular underside and appeared to be 12m long. Along the rectangle was a row of 7 windows emitting a powerful white light, which were surrounded by clear frames. The object rose slowly from ground level to treetop height, hovered for a few seconds, accelerated and then streaked away, dimming as it did so. A sort of orange outline remained above the trees. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>FORT NELSON (BRITISH COLUMBIA : CANADA)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mrs Edmoana Toews and Mrs Nuria Hanson, were driving back to their home state Alaska from a religious meeting in Michigan. They had a meal in Fort Nelson and were driving slowly along the foggy highway when, nearing the summit of Steamboat Mountain (c 1,050m), they observed a bright light on the mountain slope across the valley, then a second in the sky above the first. The second light approached them in an oscillating movement, then hovered between them and the mountain, now the apparent size of the full moon. It blinked out, reappeared brighter, growing to brilliant white, then shot up into the sky. They now directed their attention to the object on the slope. It resembled a “Derby Hat” with a row of portholes on the bottom of the dome, just above the rim. To avoid an accident they turned into an abandoned driveway and sat observing the object for 45 minutes. The object in the sky came closer, larger and more brilliant, hovered over the landed object, which changed glow from yellow to bright orange. It appeared to be 27m diameter from brim to brim. The object then took off, lifted between 30-45m and landed again. The orange glow grew darker but gave off several bright orange flashes. On three occasions the light in the sky took off and was lost in the background of stars, at which the landed object resumed its bright yellow glow. After 15 minutes, a southbound truck stopped for 10 minutes but the ladies, for some reason, did not approach the driver. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At 2235 they resumed their journey. As they became fatigued they started to pray and sing hymns to relax. They then found that the terrain was not proving difficult anymore and that the car seemed to be driving itself. Mrs Toews, who was driving, was able to put her arms on her lap. They felt peaceful and calm. The car seemed surrounded by a light, even in the fog. They noticed another shadow on the road and when they looked, they saw a single fluffy cloud, illuminated by a light from something above it. They found the first lodge closed and moved on the second one 110km further on. During this journey the oil gauge didn’t register. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At the Munch Lake Lodge, also closed, they got out and were joined by a young man, dressed only in shirt and slacks, who asked for a lift to the next lodge 130km further on. He sat hunched up on Mrs Hanson’s lap, to whom he felt curiously light. He then moved to the console between the two seats. He said his name was Gordon. During the further journey, in which they saw the light in the sky again, he discussed with them topics such as angels and life on other worlds. They then noticed he was sitting a few centimetres above the pillow on the console. They began to panic again when it was clear he was levitating, but he stared at them and said he was PK, which caused them to stop puzzling. “Gordon” told them to book into the next lodge, which they did, sleeping in the lobby. “Gordon” got out with them, but when they turned round to thank him he was no where to be seen and theirs were the only tracks in the snow. Only on the next night did they realised what a strange experience they had undergone. Mrs Toews also realised that “Gordon” resembled her husband Jim, and his middle name was Gordon. On the 20th they drove through a snow storm, but there was no snow falling on the road. They met no cars, except when their car engine failed on a down slope, and two young men in a jeep got out and fixed it. They seemed to know the ladies were going to Anchorage and followed them. They dropped behind however and when the ladies stopped for them to catch up, there was no sign of them. The strange cloud seen on the 18th followed them on the rest of the journey. They put a religious interpretation on the events.</span><br />

Constable David Grundy was called to the scene and joining the woman in watching the object through binoculars, through which he saw three diamond shaped objects dancing about in the western sky above the Rockies. </span><br />

One, conical and about the size of a large plane, descended silently down to about 30m, 60m beyond their yard, as Felice approached with his revolver drawn. At one end of the object was a dark area like a port or door. He suddenly saw a figure on the ground beside the object. partially obscured by the picket fence. It was human in shape but taller and thinner than normal and appeared to be covered with short, wire brush like hair. The figure loped slowly across the ground towards the witness, who fired a warning shot. The figure turned and with 6m strides headed towards the object, which descended and seemed to engulf it in one of its leaps. Felice fired again as the object ascended at high speed. Trampled trees and broken branches were found at the site. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>MEDICINE BOW NATIONAL FOREST (WYOMING; USA)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oil driller Carl Higdon (40) was hunting for elk on the north ridge of the forest, about 65km to the south of Rawlings, when he saw five elk as walked over a hill. He fired at them, the bullet dropped after only going 15m. He went and picked up the bullet then heard a twig snap, and in the shadow of the trees to his right he saw a figure. The being was about 1.85m tall, appeared to weigh 180 pounds, was dressed in a black suit and shoes, wore a belt with a star in the middle and a yellow emblem below. It was bow legged, had a flattened head on which were two antenna and straight up thin hair, and had no chin. The being asked Higdon is he was hungry, and getting an affirmative reply gave him four tablets. Higdon took one and put the container containing the others in his pocket. The being, who called himself Ausso, said these were “four day pills” and asked Higdon if he wanted to go with him. When Higdon agreed the creature pointed an appendage on his sleeve at him and Higdon found himself in a transparent cubical along with “Ausso”. He was sat in a chair with bands around his arms and a sort of helmet on his head, from which came four wires. On a console opposite were three levers that “Ausso” manipulated. Through what looked like a mirror on the upper right, Higdon could see five elk in a sort of cage, not moving, yet he estimated the cage to be only 2m square. When “Ausso” manipulated the largest lever the contraption seemed to be moving. Higdon could see the earth below, looking like a basket ball. A second being disappeared when they landed, “Ausso” saying they had travelled 163,000 light miles. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Outside the cubicle was a huge tower, about 27m high, with a powerful rotating light and a sound like an electric razor. Standing outside the tower were five people (adult male, teenage boy and girl and two girls of about 10-14) who were dressed in ordinary clothes and appeared to be talking amongst themselves. “Ausso” took him into the tower, then said he was not what was needed. Next he found himself back in the cubicle with “Ausso” who gave him back his gun, saying it was primitive. He then pointed at the largest lever and Higdon found himself on a slope. His foot hit a loose rock and he fell hurting his head, neck and shoulder. Dazed and not knowing who or where he was, he managed to get back to his truck and call on the Citizen Band Radio. Authorities were alerted and he was found at 2330 that night and taken to hospital. His eyes were bloodshot and teared constantly. At first his appetite was poor but a couple of days later he was ravenous. He later recalled that “Ausso” had only six teeth, three on top and three below and that “Ausso” had told him there were no fish on his planet, that the sun’s rays burned him, and that they were taking animals back for breeding purposes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>AVELEY (ESSEX : ENGLAND)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">J D (29), his wife S (25) and his three children (8, 7, 4) were driving home from his parents in law in Harold Hill, Romford, when the 7 year old drew his parents attention to a light just above the houses, about 450m to the east. It appeared larger than the apparent size of Venus and they thought it was the light on a helicopter. The road was unusually quiet. The light paced them down Park Farm Road, then went down a dip and was obscured by bushes. As they passed a gravel pit on the Aveley Road they noticed that they could not hear the car tyres or engine, though they could hear the radio. They felt something was wrong, and as they rounded a bend, they saw a deep green mist banked 2.5m high, on the road about 30m away. At this point the radio began to crackle and smoke so J pulled the wires out. The lights then went out. The fog enveloped the car which jerked violently. It seemed light, very cold, dead silent and their was a tingling feeling. They lost track of time, but after what seemed like a second or two there was a jolt and the mist had gone. They were now 800m down the road. J seemed to think he was in the car on his own for a while, shortly afterwards his wife came too also, and they carried on home, only to find it was 0100 hours, the journey normally only taking twenty minutes. They were tired and nervous. After the incident the car started to act up and was disposed of. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Following a nervous breakdown in the December, J and S became vegetarians and concerned with ecology. There were MIB and poltergeist incidents and a nocturnal hum. When the investigation started in September 1977, S began to remember standing in front of a blue car on a platform with machinery to the left, around which men in one piece suits were moving, and being led to a room where there was a small ugly person. This appeared to be the recall of a dream. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Under regression J recalled being in a room with tall, “peaceful” beings in one piece suits. He was on a table while a sort of bar moved over him. The beings seemed to communicate by telepathy and showed him a diagram with marks on it. There was also a small furry creature. Amplified later with an account of a beam of light penetrating the car, him feeling as though he was being lifted up then blacking out. He was then on a platform looking at a couple and their family, who he identified with himself and his family, through his car was white, not blue as this one was. S and the 7 year old were with him, behind was a being 7m tall. He next came to, on the table with the bar passing over him. There were three tall beings and two small ugly entities, the latter performing the examination. They were 1.2m tall with long white gowns,. furry heads, long triangular slanted eyes, beak, slit mouth, pointed ears, large hairy hands with four taloned digits. When they left J was able to sit up and examine the room which was 6m long, 3.6m wide, 2.1-2.4m high, everything in it smooth, like the inside of a bubble. One of the tall beings was 7m tall, other 1.95m, wearing one piece suits and masks. They had large eyes and appeared to be jointless. J was taken in a laboratory then a sort of cabin, then to the control room. The entities showed him a series of pictures and holograms and appeared to communicate something about their planet’s pollution problems. Then there was a hologram of a hooded figure holding a ball, which J was asked to touch. S recalled under regression a more complete medical examination by the furries. After this she was taken into another room where she was offered sweets, but, as she was about to decline, they were taken away. They seemed to communicate through telepathy. She was asked to touch the ball, as J had been and told that this was “the seed of their life”. She recalled dressing and hurrying the others up. The car appeared to be moving off and she seemed to follow it through the lanes until she entered it. </span><br />

He first thought it was the moon, but five minutes later he realised that the moon was in front of him. Looking over his shoulder again he saw the white object pacing them at 30m altitude, parallel to the road, as they did 70kph, and alterted his family to it. It appeared to be 15-18m in diameter and to be a flat convex shaped thing, with indistinct outlines, larger than the apparent diameter of the moon. Ther thing stopped, started and changed direction with them, and was visible when they got out of the car. It made no noise as it paced them for 30m minutes, until they made the final turn towards their house in a built up area, upon which the object rose straight up, hesitated for a moment, veered away and disappeared at moderate speed. </span><br />

Through a transparent visor in its helmet, the witness could see its eyes were set far apart and its chin was pointed. The being came up to within 3-4.5m of the witness and lifted something taken from its right side to its face. The object flashed twice at which the witness fled. </span><br />

Thinking it might be a barn fire or car crash, he drove out to get aid. He found that the light was well off the road and emitted a blue haze. As he approached as close as the road would allow, the object began to lift up. It was shaped like one saucer inverted over the other, with a gap in the centre. The top half was hazy blue in colour and appeared to be rotating in a counter clockwise direction, while the bottom half was the colour of molten metal and was rotating clockwise. The whole thing appeared to be the size of his barn and about 30m in diameter. As it took off in a gentle arc towards the NW, Gary felt hypnotised and unable to take his eyes off it. As it moved away towards Bellhaven, Gary got into his car and tried to follow it. After a while it arced round and disappeared in the south. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Christophe F (16) was locking up the house before going out with some friends when, as he was closing the west facing kitchen shutters, he saw a ball of light partly obscured by a wall. Closing the bathroom window he observed, about 35m away, a bright shining bsll of an indefinable opalescent colour, which, despite its brilliance, did not illuminate the surrounding area. The ball, which was stationary beside the road, appeared to be between 2-2.5m diameter, perhaps most probably 2.2m and was either touching or just above the ground. Despite the stiff wind, this thing remained motionless. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This so alarmed Christophe that he went and got his gun, and thus boldened, also got his camera and approached to within less than 25m of the object. At this point he heard a continuous modulated sound like a bottle being opened and saw about 3 circular patches of deeper colour moving about on the globe. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Christophe was now so frightened that he could barely hold his camera, so he went back inside, pulled himself together and got out his tripod and light metre and took four photographs, two at 35m, two at 23m (one of the latter was no good. After which he went inside and played a record while continuing to watch the thing. At times the thing appeared to become transparent. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After a few minutes this rose 4-5m and then stopped and a blindingly brilliant cylinder of light appeared from it underside, about 1.8m long, 40cm wide, which forced Christophe to shield his eyes with his hands. The object then shot off like lighting. Christophe continued with his plan to go into Uzes town and as he passed, on his moped, the spot where the thing had hovered he felt a sensation of heat. The film was examined by the investigators but the lad refused to have it sent away for analysis and it was subsequently stolen. Mrs Clutten, her daughter and her nephew, who lived 150m away saw the object slowly descent between 1700-1800 and someone who lived on the outskirts of Nimes saw a sphere travelling towards Uzes that afternoon </span><br />

Its bottom half was obscured by the fog, as was the bottom half of the object, which was vaguely discoid. The tube stood about 2.5-3m high and tapered to a bullet shaped peak. The creature was generally human in shape, covered everywhere except for the face and chin with a dark tan fur, which ran along the top and side of the rectangular shaped head. The ears were stretched out about 75cm and resembled calf’s ears. Bosak thought that the tan fur may have been on a suit, but there were no seems nor buttons. The creature’s eyes were protruding as if it were afraid. Startled, Bosak accelerated past, and as he did so his car lights dimmed, the inside of his car became dark. He heard a whooshing sound and a sound like branches brushing against the car. He was afraid to go out for some nights, and it was a time before he would even tell his wife and son of the incident.

Shirley was driving about 35-40kph and only glanced at the object. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Marcia saw that the thing was tilted at 45 degrees to the tree roots. The object then began to make and spin, levelled off and began to pace the car at 30m altitude, moving from north-east to south-west, until they reached Marcia’s home. Shirley then continued on towards Madison. Indoors, Marcia began to watch the object, which appeared to have landed on a treetop about 500m away, by Lake Kegonsa. This object was estimated to be about 12m diameter. Marcia called her brother Gain to look at the thing, but he showed no interest. Marcia then heard a noise downstairs and went to telephone her grandmother. When she had finished the call, the object had gone. While the object was visible all the local dogs were howling. Marcia could not sleep until dawn and was afraid to go to the bathroom. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While
driving between Columbus and Mansfield Mr V saw a light flashing;
first to his left, then to his right, then in front. It gained speed
and disappeared ahead of his car. He lost conscious memory while
driving at 110kph and regained it driving at 135-145kph down the same
highway (H 1-71). He found that a period of 55-85 minutes was
unaccounted for. This and a series of disturbing psychic experiences
led him undertaking hypnotic regression in the winter of 1974/5.
Under regression he recalled driving off 1-71, down a tree lined
narrow road, for no reason, On the road were three beings, one with
both arms and legs outstretched, forming an X shape, while the others
were closer to his car. He next saw two sets of eyes ahead and a face
forming and shimmering to his left. Each set of eyes seemed to be
projected into his brain and out again. His next impression was of
approaching a craft with a door on its upper side. As he went in his
terror turned to relief. He next found himself lying on a table and
saw beings with a silvery metallic look, one of whom was bending down
looking at the witnesses legs. A brilliantly lit instrument was
brought close to his head, hurting his eyes. Presently he was let out
of the craft and watched it lift off. It was black, outlined by a
shimmering white light. </span></div>

from behind. They first thought that it was a helicopter but the
quiet humming sound co9muing from the thing made them change their
mind. The pair were now directly under and the object directly over,
the power lines. They could make out a silver white disc, about 6m
diameter, with bright red, purple and blue-green spotlights, which
made the scene, resemble the lights seen at a road accident. Two
silvery, metallic looking projections lowered themselves from the
underside of this object, emitting heat. The mother and son were
terrified and ran 20m to the protection of a tool shed, which they
hid under for 30 minutes, during which time Mary hid her face in her
arms. When they dared to emerge the object had gone. </span><br />

ran off in leaps and bounds. Shortly after this a luminous bronze

bridge where they encountered the 2.4-2.7m tall creature. When they
turned their flashlights on the thing the beams that it hit seemed to
be weaker than the rest. The thing stayed immobile even when they

they returned the creature had gone. </span></span><br />

shoreline. When they returned to the spot a second time in their
sweep the light moved rapidly up from the shore to the Entreyubias
rocks, as if in answer to them lighting their lantern. This light lit
up the whole area as it hovered some 3m above the sea, 50-70m away.
They thought that it was another person with a rowing bow. The light
went back and forth from the Altar to the shoreline at about 1.9-2m
above the water at about 20kph and had the appearance of a reddish
dish. When the object was still there on their third sweep they began
to suspect that it was smugglers. For their fourth sweep they didn’t
put their lantern on and by then the brightness and strange quality
of the light unnerved they and they abandoned their nets. As they
rowed away the light left at high speed. No structure could be seen
behind it. </span><br />

boy (Kevin Shaw) woke up with the feeling that there were other
presences in his room beside himself and his sleeping elder brother.
In the darkness he could make out two beings apparently hovering 30cm
above the ground, swaying gently from side to side. One was standing
slightly behind the other. In the weak light entering the room he was
able to see that they had large bald heads, slit like eyes, lipless
mouths and small, flat noses. After standing and observing Kevin for
some time, the leading being opened its mouth, and a high pitched
whining filled the room, and at that instant they began to fade away.
Kevin felt no fear, only curiosity and neither his brother nor anyone
else in the house had wakened. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Gary
Jay Chopic was driving westbound on the Simi Freeway. when climbing
the hill towards Pass Road, he observed an object like a space
capsule hover over the hills and drop out of sight. He slowed down,
and as he approached the off ramp for Koehner drive he observed a
cloud of dust to the right and below the freeway. He pulled onto the
hard shoulder and got out to look. He saw a triangular object about
9m by 15m, with a 3m wide blunt nose. It was pink grey in colour,
with no visible lights. It was hovering 3m above the ground, 25-30m
away, swaying like a boat at anchor. The entire side of the machine
was covered by a mark, consisting of a large V with a series of
progressively smaller Vs in this large one. On the top of the machine
was a 90cm glassy bubble which swivelled like a ball, and from the
underside of the craft projected a sort of hose 2.5m, 30cm diameter,
which almost reached the ground. Inside the bubble on top he could
see a light coloured object moving around, and as Chopic continued to
watch, an individual came from the opposite side of the machine, and
crawled round to the narrower front end, looked up towards Chopic,
and scrambled to the other side of the of the object and disappeared.
At about the time this individual spotted him, Chopic heard a
clicking sound that lasted for 2-3 seconds. The being was a human of
normal size, wearing a silvery wet suit, his face was darker but
Chopic was unable to make out any features. After the man had
retreated the bubble again began to rotate and disappeared into the
smooth body of the craft, which then began to make a low whirring
hum, and emitted a sort of vapour which covered it completely. This
fog had a sweet smell like incense. Suddenly it all disappeared and
the object had gone. After a short indecision, Chopic reported the
matter to the police. A woman informed him that she and her husband
had seen a round object in the same locality a week earlier. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mr
and Mrs R of Huron Street went out for some fresh air before retiring
when they saw a powerful white light in a field 465m to the north.
They thought it was cattle thieves and when the light went out they
thought no more of it. At 1115 that morning Mrs R was handing out
washing while her husband was helping some workmen with repairs about
the house when she saw smoke coming from a field to the north and
called her husband. They wondered how anything could burn as it had
been raining hard not long before. The smoke lasted 30 minutes. While
they were watching this, their attention was caught by a cupola
shaped object, 22m in diameter, resembling a tent and yellow in
colour, in a field 465m away. From this tent emerged a smaller
object, which reminded them of a bulldozer, which travelled to a
spring 60m away. They then saw 5 small people about 1.2m tall moving
between the “tent” and the “bulldozer”. Their legs were
hidden the grass and seemed to be scurrying back and forth, moving
their arms a lot and appeared to be dressed in bright yellow clothes
with helmets. They thought that they were boy scouts at camp. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They
watched the scene on and off for the next 20-25 minutes, until they
suddenly saw that the objects and the “boys” were no longer
there. It was only then that they realised that it was quite
impossible for anyone to have arrived and left without using the road
by their houses. They also remembered that the objects had no
openings and had indistinct outlines. It appears that the workmen
also saw the main object but made no remark on it at the time,
thinking it was nothing unusual. Later a neighbour said she had seen
a large object silently take off from the field and disappear in the
direction of Rougemont Mountain. When their daughter arrived home
from work after 1200hrs., she went to the site where she found a
large circle of crushed grass, 17m diameter, with tracks proceeding
from this circle to a smaller one, 3.6m diameter, close to the
spring. The track was 15cm wide. The girl later developed headaches
and nausea. Investigators later found three marks 55cm by 37.5cm,
arranged in a triangle 10m apart from each other. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mrs
Wallace L was talking to her sister on the phone when she heard
footsteps on her wooden porch and noises on her screen door. After
hanging up the phone she went outside onto her porch and saw a
brilliant diffuse, silver coloured, cloud of some sort hanging 1.5m,
above the tree in her backyard. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">From
this object was projected a brilliant white spotlight into her
neighbours’ living room. As she stood, awestruck, she noticed that
nearby dogs were making a disturbance and a kitten darted from the
yard and hid under a parked car. A mercury vapour lamp immediately
adjacent to the yard was blinking on and off irregularly, Wallace
called out to a male boarder in her house, but he retreated when he
saw the object.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After
about 15 minutes the cloud began to disperse, revealing a domed disk,
with a glowing red underside and about 10 struts projecting down from
the rim. Her estimate of the diameter was vague, she said 1m but her
description of its angular diameter suggested more like 4.5-6m. She
had the feeling that it was aware of what she was thinking; for
example when she wondered what a green mark on the thing’s top was,
it tilted towards her, showing a glowing projection. Wallace felt she
was under the control of the object and at one point walked back into
the house for no apparent reason. A few minutes later she tried to
approach the object but when she got within 6m of the tree, she
suddenly felt as if she had walked into a wall and she could see
nothing but a silvery light. When she retreated her vision returned
to normal, but the same thing happened when she went forward again.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wallace
then returned to her house and called her back yard neighbours (not
the people whose house was lit by the spotlight) and this couple
joined her . After 2 minutes of the observation then thing shot
around the neighbour’s house and then returned to its original
position above then tree. At 0015 it shot straight up, leaving a hole
in the overcast. The next morning Wallace had forgotten about the
incident until reminded by her neighbours. She then realised that her
eyes ached. During the observation Wallace had noticed an unusual
silence. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">46
employees of a dishwasher manufacturing company, including Bill
Tremper, observed an oval object with bright yellow lights top and
bottom. It hovered and appeared to land behind trees in the AVCO
ammunition testing area, on a hill one block west of the plant. It
was the size of a helicopter and had a trisected bottom. A man on a
loading dock, closer to the site, thought he heard a buzzing sound.
After 20 minutes the object rose, hovered momentarily and then headed
off into the northwest. </span><br />

1.5-1.8m long, giving off white and then red, pink and blue lights,

Hickson (45) and Calvin Parker (18) were fishing in the old Shaupeter
Shipyard when their attention was caught by a blue light, over the
bay, which circled the area and descended to within 60-90cm of the
ground, over the bayou 12-40m behind them. They went towards the
river, Parker becoming hysterical. The object was about 5-6m long and
from an opening in the end emerged three creatures, about 1,5m tall,
pale grey in colour, with wrinkled skin. Their heads seemed stuck
down to their shoulders. Their arms ended in claw like appendages,
with two digits, about the size of a normal hand. Their legs appeared
to be fused, as if standing on a pedestal, and they seemed to float
above the ground. The creatures had two small, conical, ears, slits
where the eyes should have been, a small sharp nose and a hole below
that. One of the creatures emitted a sound like the buzzing of a
machine. The creatures grabbed the two men, Parker passing out as
they did so. Hickson lost all sense of feeling when the creature
touched him and found himself being floated into the craft. The two
men were taken into a bare area, well lighted, but no indication of
where the light came from. Their bodies were scanned by an instrument
like a huge eye. They were left on their own for 15-30 minutes,
before being floated out again. When Hickson tried to speak to one of
the creatures, it just buzzed in reply. When they were released, the
object itself emitted a buzzing sound and left. Both men were
terrified by their ordeal. Hickson suffered from nightmares, stigmata
on the arm, and later claimed other contacts, </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Edward
Deutsch, a stock chaser for an Allentown truck works, was driving up
Crooked Mountain in 1963 Pontiac at 25kph in second gear. Just as he
reached the crest and slowly began the steep descend, the area became
bathed in a brilliant light that completely obscured his headlights.
Rolling down his window, he saw, right above his car, a circular
object, the apparent size of a tractor wheel at arm’s length. The
thing had two bands of alternating red, green and white lights, which
appeared to be revolving round the object in a counter clockwise
direction. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At
one point Edward’s car began to turn to the right and he was unable
to correct this by use of his steering wheel. As this was going on,
the object’s lights spun faster and its hum, which had originally
sounded like an electric razor, increased in pitch and volume. The
car was now turned through almost 180 degrees, heading back in the
direction from which he had come and was partway onto the shoulder of
the road, so that Edward was afraid he would be tipped over the edge
of the hill. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The
object then disappeared over trees to the north, having gone from 65
degrees south to 80-85 degrees north. As Edward sat shaken in the
car, a pickup truck arrived on the scene. The driver said he had seen
the object pass over and that it had picked the deer he was hunting
and then drove off without giving his name. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When
the object had been overhead the inside of the car had heated up and
Edward now found that the roof and bonnet were too hot to touch.
Following his experience D suffered from nightmares and appeared to
have had some sort of blackout during the experience. </span><br />

moved on, and Mrs Phillips drove away. At 2200hrs. her son Gilbert

square of four white lights, with a flashing red light in the centre,
marking the outlines of an object which was rotating as it moved
slowly towards the station at 30m altitude. When he turned on the
station lights the object moved away to the west. </span><br />

awoken by the barking of the dogs. They saw lights shining through a
wooded area, apparently from a yellow object on the ground. Late the
thing lifted up and they could see that it had an illuminated top,
which cast a red glow in the sky, and was surrounded by lights. As
they watched, James and perhaps others saw a humanoid figure, whose
head glowed with a white light, run upright across a field 15m away.
The object climbed into the sky and returned to the ground two or
three times. At the site two half circles 10cm diameter and 6.6m
apart were found (other sources give 6.6m long and 3.6m wide) </span><br />

object appeared to three times the size of a car, 3-3.5m tall. On the
top was something like an antenna. The thing came down to ground
level on or over a soya bean field about 60m away. Am opening
appeared and closed rapidly. At this point Lundy shot at the object
with his 12 bore shotgun, and the two ran back to his home. As they
did so, they looked back and saw the object wobble from side to side
and take off with a sound like air going through a hose. The thing

pointed heads or caps. One of these “monsters” invited Eddie into

his mother, who awakened his father. When the parents arrived in the
yard the object and “monsters” had gone. The toddler was stood
staring into the sky and the dog was barking furiously and staring at

the 4 year old, whom the investigators were not permitted to

Geddis (21) was returning home to her house trailer from evening
class. When she pulled into the driveway she saw “something like
ghost” floating 15m above the ground 300m away. It was like a
person, draped all over in a close fitting sheet, about 1.2m tall,
thin, with an distinguishable head and body shape but no visible
limbs. On looking through the open passenger widow toward the road,
she saw a bright white light moving with a fast jerking motion. It
came within 60m, at which she became scared and drove on. She
observed it for some minutes and estimated that it was 6m in diameter
and 7.5-9m above the ground. When she got out of the car she felt a
weird invisible presence and was too scared to walk to the trailer
until her boy friend, Joe Ben Israel, arrived home. While they were
preparing supper, two neighbours came home and said they had seen
something strange in the sky. Joe went out to talk to them and left
the door open. Just then a little squarish figure like “an electric
man” looked round the door. The figure gave the impression of being
an energy form, blue green in colour, 75cm tall, almost translucent,
with a face and arms but no visible legs. Its head and body seemed to
be covered with spiky projections. It gave the impression of being
friendly and timid and “not knowing whether it should be there”.
It then disappeared back behind the door. When she went to look for
it, it was gone. Mary and Joe saw many other strange lights in the
distance on that and subsequent nights. </span><br />

and Donna Hatchett were driving down a country road when she saw
bright light coming from the south. They first thought it was a
security light on a pole, but then realised the thing was pacing them
and descending. When the Hatchetts stopped the truck, the light
stopped also, in front of the truck. As the object hovered it gave
off a blinding light and penetrating low pitched hum. They had the
feeling that there were occupants in the thing who knew everything
they were thinking. Donna was so afraid that she twice left the truck
cab and went into the back. William managed to persuade her to return
and they set off, the object rose up in the opposite direction. </span><br />

Raymond Belcher had just returned home from the shopping centre when,
getting out of her car, she saw a large multi-coloured object,
surmounted by a white dome, above the treetops. A number of
neighbouring children were pointing at the thing and yelling. When
she got in she was struck by strange sounds of music. The lights then
suddenly went out. She tried to phone the police but the phone was
dead. Her poodles in the back yard began barking furiously and she
had to comfort them. The lights then came back on. Her husband was
away on business and she was so afraid of being in the house on her
own that she asked a neighbour to come and stay overnight. She tried
to contact the authorities but they laughed at her and ridiculed her
German accent. Coming back from the market next day she found her
front door had been smashed in but nothing had been taken from the
house. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>LANGFORD BUDVILLE (SOMERSET : ENGLAND)</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A
37 year old Italian immigrant housewife living in Taunton was driving
to Wellington to visit a sick friend. She had just passed the
Langford Budville signpost on the B3187 when she saw a very bright
light over the field to her right ahead. She did not pay it much
attention until her 1967 Mini saloon began to malfunction, with both
lights and engine failing. She coasted to a halt and was unable to
restart. She immediately began to connect the failure with the light.
She lifted up the bonnet to find what was at fault. She then became
aware of a very loud hum, like a generator, which seemed to pervade
the whole area. She put down the bonnet in panic, glanced at the
light again and was about to get back into the car, when a very heavy
hand grasped her left shoulder. Turning round, she came face to face
with a tall metallic dark coloured robot that reflected light from
the source in the field. There was a strange coloured flashing light
and she passed out. The next thing she remembered was standing in
front of a large hemispherical object, with a rounded top and flat
bottom, in the field. It was as bright as an arc lamp. When it faded
to a glow, she that it was a machine, silvery grey in colour, like
aluminium, resting on at least two thick legs. It was about 12m
across, 6m high. She stood, transfixed, in front of it for what
seemed like an age, noting large oblong windows from which issued a
yellow light. The hum was now coming from the from the object itself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She blacked out for a second time, coming to strapped to a table,
presumably inside the object. Her clothes had been removed and she
was covered only a by a large, light blue blanket. Her wrists were
held against the table by large rubber bands, as were her
spread-eagled legs by similar bands around her ankles. The blanket
and the object were freezing cold, and she lay shivering. Over to one
side of the room the robot was standing. On the walls were a number
of pieces of equipment, and to her right was a console with dials,
buttons and levers, all of a uniform grey colour. Above her head were
two tubes of transparent plastic, pointed down towards her head, 30cm
apart. Lighting was pervasive. The floor was covered in a sort of
black rubber matting, in sections. She felt that there was s door
behind her. While she was lying there three men came into view, two
stood by the left of the table, while the third went to the far end,
picked up some boxes and placed three of them on the rail on the
right hand side of the table. Put there, they began to glow, and
appeared to be of shiny plastic, sides 15cm square. This man
performed an exhaustive medical examination. Her throat was too sore
to allow her to cry out or vomit. The three people looked exactly
alike, totally human, medium height, fair and slim. They were dressed
like surgeons, with skull caps tied at the back, facial masks that
revealed eyes slightly more rounded than normal. Each wore a tunic
with a grey metallic edging, elbow length gloves, an apron which
covered most of the body down to the ankles and thick soled boots.
Though they nodded to each other, they made no sound, she could not
even hear or see them breathing. She kept glancing at the robot which
had a flashing light and window on top of its “head” and “chain
mail” on its palms. At no time during the examination did any of
the beings touch. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They removed the blanket, oblivious to her
embarrassment, as she were an animal. When she became very cold, they
put on another blanket. During the examination she felt pain only
around her groin. Towards the end of the examination, feelings of
calm and fear. At times she felt the examiner was evil, but this
passed. When the examination ended the examiner informed her that the
robot was used for retrieving specimens and doing manual work outside
the craft. The trio then left, but shortly afterwards one of the men
returned and raped her, first numbing her with a sort of needle. This
took place in a totally unemotional way. Afterwards she was drained,
nauseated and nearly hysterical. The trio then returned and released
her. The robot then approached again and she passed out. She came to,
fully clothed, standing next to her car and drove home automatically
in a state of shock, not knowing at first who or where she was. It
was 0230 when she got home and related the story to her husband.
Sequelae including visits by strangers who related the incident and
warned her to keep quiet, threatening phone calls and letters, a
mysterious car circling her house and a truck trying to force her car
off the road. The visits by the strangers were also witnessed by her
daughter. </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mrs
Patty Roach, a 34 year old divorcee, contacted a neighbour at 0100 on
the 17th, saying she had been woken up with the feeling their was an
intruder in the house. Police searched without result, She had been
sleeping on the living room couch with her 5 year old son, when he
woke her up screaming about a skeleton in the house. Next day her 7
year old daughter talked about a spaceman. There the matter rested
until 1975, when she contacted APRO via Saga Magazine. Investigation
uncovered an abduction story told by the 7 year old and corroborated
by her eldest sister. This led to an hypnotic regression of Patty in
which the following story emerged. She was awakened by a bright light
and two figures standing over her, her son being no longer with her.
The figures were thin and wore uniforms. She the became aware that 4
of her 6 children were standing in the room. The beings grabbed her
and her children by the arms, lifting her from the couch. They
appeared to have a machine of some sort and to act in a businesslike
manner. Patty next recalled being in a large, bright room in which 4
or 5 beings, in uniforms, were standing around. She got the
impression they were cold blooded and not as nice as they wanted her
to think they were, and made her feel like a guinea pig. To the top
of one side, she appeared to be looking out onto the stars. There
were a lot a machines with wavy lines going across screens, like
computers. Patty described the beings as being just over 1.2m tall,
very thin, with large slanted eyes, long arms with claw like hands
with small thumbs. Their mouths were long and fishlike, they had no
noses, their pupils were large, round and black and moved at lot. .
They wore fluorescent clothing with “Sam Brown” belts and gloves,
and helmets of some kind. They put her on a table and hooked her up
to machines which gave her a physical and gynaecological examination,
a blood pressure test and probed her with needles. They seemed to
take the thoughts out of her head with one needle. The examination
was assisted by a normal looking human being, medium height, bald
with a fringe of grey hair, looked about 55 and had horn rimmed
glasses. He seemed to be able to read her mind. They seemed to be
enquiring about emotions and to be in urgent need of information. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At this period, she recalled standing on a cliff, looking down on the
waves. She then remembered dressing, while the humanoids stood by
without helping. The human, dressed in dark clothes, with a rubber
glove on his hand, tried to persuade her that he had let her red on
the craft. On this craft was a clock with many hands, and some glass
cases in which there was a kind of coloured liquid. After she had
been given back her clothes, she was floated back to the house. Under
regression her eldest daughter recalled seeing her mother lying nude
on the table, the three humanoids and the human interrogator. The 7
year old recalled a line of people, including her sister and two
neighbourhood boys,. waiting to go onto the craft, On the craft she
saw a dark girl, who looked like an Indian, in a long dress. The
beings seemed to communicate with her telepathically and told her she
would get better. She had been very ill prior to this experience but
now her health was very good. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When
Patty got back to the house, the 5 year old boy was lying on a
blanket on the floor, After he wakened her, she checked the children
and found two of the little girls on opposite sides of the bed to
normal. The beings gave her an injection to make her forget the
episode. She also recalled that they had rounded club feet, and that
their faces were really painted to look human. In the house the
beings had white uniforms, but these were fluorescent silvery blue on
the craft. </span><br />

Lester Shell and Patrolman Harry Jarret were dispatched to the scene.
As they approached the wooded swampy area they encountrered a
brilliant blue-white oblong shaped light, too brilliant for any shape
to be discerned behind it. The light was hovering less than 5m above
the swamp, within 30m of the offciers. The thing was motionless,
twice the length of a patrol car and was emitting an unsual hissing
sound. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As
Lester walked closer the object rose up to about 27m, made a sharp

an eastbound aircraft, which it then seemed to be following. Lester
called the control tower of Chattanooga airport, but both they and
the plane reported there was nothing there. Strange lights were seen

grey fish shaped object with a transparent front cabin at the front,
and portholes on the side hovered and moved low over a field near
Fountain Street. On its underside were some 25 golden lights, which
illuminated the base. Through the transparent front, the witnesses
could see the heads and shoulders of two beings, slimmer than humans,
and with large heads and white eyes, and similar faces were seen in
the portholes. The thing emitted heat and a powerful humming sound
that hurt the witnesses’ ears. </span><br />

Brown (35), a car salesman and former Methodist minister and non

Danielsville when his car radio became filled with static. He heard a
buzzing noise as a bright light passed over his car. He first thought
it was a plane in distress, then realised that it was an object which
had landed on the road 90m ahead of his car. He braked hard. The
object was 4.5m diameter, 1.9m high and emitted a brilliant light.
From its underside emerged two humanoid beings, 1.2-1.35m tall The
had reddish facial skin and white hair, and wore silver suits with
white gloves. Brown, unnerved, got out his pistol from the car and
was about to alight but when he was halfway out of the car, the
beings turned and returned to the object, which extinguished its
lights and took off with a whooshing sound. Brown took several shots
at it, with apparent effect. Deputy Sheriff Jimmy Mattox, who
investigated, confirmed that Brown was extremely nervous, but there
were no traces of the object. </span><br />

northwest sector of the sky. When he turned his spotlight on, this
object’s lights became brighter. The thing began to descend towards
the south-west, and towards him. It passed over his car and continued
its descent from about 450-500m down to treetop height, and then
moved away in level flight. It was observed stationary for about 90
seconds and in flight for 30 seconds. As it passed directly overhead,
Fueston thought he saw a row of portholes. He was familiar with the
area and its lights. </span><br />

50m from them and 20 above the ground. The thing then moved rapidly
away in the opposite direction. It resembled an inverted soup bowl,
the colour of burnished silver, with a cupola on top. At the apex of
this was a steady blue light, below which was a turret with a row of
small portholes. The main base of the object was 10m diameter and in
the centre of the underside was a cone from which issued a deep red
pulsating light, next to which were hemispherical oval protuberances.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mrs
C, a businesswoman from Huntsville, Alabama, was driving to see
relatives at Tifton (Ga) on Highway 75. Not long after she had
refuelled and just north of Ashburn, her car engines and systems
(including her power brakes and steering) suddenly went out. She
managed to get the car onto the shoulder of the road. While she sat
in the car she began to experience an eerie feeling. She turned her
head slowly to the left, where, through the widow, she saw a humanoid
shaped being dressed in metallic material like pewter. On its head
was a sort of bubble shaped helmet in which there were rectangular
shaped openings for the eyes. After 5-6 minutes, the creature walked
from the left side of the car to the front and then round to the
back. Because of her position she was unable to see its legs, though
its gait appeared normal, though it had a mechanical quality. From
the elbows down, the arms were narrow and reminded her of chicken’s
legs. After the creature had left, she became afraid that the car
would explode and got out. She raised the bonnet to attract passing
motorists, but when she did so, smoke came billowing out. After 90
minutes a state trooper arrived on the scene and called a break down
wagon, which took another 90 minutes to arrive. The bonnet was almost
molten hot before the car was got to the garage. Other people were
said to have the same experience on that road. </span><br />

Norman Wright saw a bright ball of light moving east over a hill and
apparently descending over the property of a neighbouring farmer, Mr
S. About 30 minutes later, Mr S, a cattle and pig farmer in his 60s,
was exercising his dogs, when suddenly the eager animals began to
balk, and to be almost dragged up the remainder of the slope near the
house. There he saw, 90m away, near the base of the wide ravine
below, a saucer shaped object with a bell shaped top. It was 15m in
diameter, dimly lit, had two white and blue lights, was resting on
three stilts and made no sound. Underneath the machine were three
human looking figures, one of whom was climbing up a ladder, while
another was bent down as though reaching for something, while the
third figure was stood by him. The men all appeared to be 1.8m tall.
By now the dogs were barking uncontrollably and this made the man on
top of the ladder stop and look in S’s direction, before vanishing
inside the craft. In a couple of minutes, the other two men went up
the ladder and drew it up after them into the craft, which then rose
slowly, made a sound like a train whistle and shot off into the sky.
When investigator Wilhelm visited the site, he found the ground
unusually spring and moss laden. S suggested that the area was waterlogged. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Gabriel
Demogue was motorcycling with his girl friend on the road up to the
top of le Malmot mountain, a few kilometres to the north of
Draguignan, when their attention was caught by a vivid orange yellow
ball, around which a lighter coloured halo was rotating. It was
travelling on a similar course to theirs, west-east, at low altitude
and some 500-600m away. It then flew up the southern face of the
mountain and over the crest. The girl was nervous, so they returned
to town, where Gabriel told a friend who was associated with a group
of UFO buffs and several of these young people decided to
investigated. This friend, who did not want his name used, set off in
a car driven by Alain Leca, accompanied by another car driven by
Georges Macret and Christian Bensa. They drove up to the viewing
platform near the mountain peak and turned the cars round to be ready
to descend. As they sat on the viewing bench, they became aware of a
glow on the peak some 80m away, from which sounds vaguely resembling
radio interference came. At this time Macret who had his hands on the
camera-obscura felt the table suddenly become hot and the air grow
warmer, They then saw a red light begin to descend the track from the
summit and heard a heavy tread. They became afraid, and Macret, Bensa
and X hid behind a ,low wall downhill from the table. while Leca lay
down on one of the benches. From these positions they saw that the
footsteps came from a humanoid figure 2-3m tall, which reached a spot
25m from the boys and 20m from Macret’s Fiat. There the figure bent
down as it to pick something up, then straightened up. The light and
the noise then went out. They then heard the car being shaken several
times, at which they panicked and ran for their respective cars. As X
was about to open the door of his R8 car, a powerful beam of light
came from the slopes and shone on them. and they hid until it went
away. Leca and X now found they had difficulty starting their car,
but managed to push it into action. The other car had no trouble
starting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After they had been travelling a short time, Leca looked
back, and saw, 5m from the car, first one, then two then three
figures over 2m tall. He drove away then reversed back to them. As
the beings moved jerkily toward them, he yelled out “Are you good
or are you bad?” Lit by his rear lights, he could see that they
were over 2m tall, wearing red one piece suits, in which there was a
vertical light which seemed to give the suits their red colour, with
square luminous rectangular openings at eye level. One of the
entities had no helmet but wore a sort of gas mask and veil. The
beings now approached quicker with their mechanical gait, uttering
peculiar whistles. Leca then drove off, but stopped after 50m and
when he saw that they were not following, he turned round and drove
to the observation area, but could see or hear nothing, except for
the white glow over the summit. His companion was terrified and he
was uneasy, so they drove away. Leca returned an hour or two later,
and now even the white glow had disappeared. , but there was a smell
like burnt varnish in the air. While all this had been going on,
Macret and Bensa had driven on without stopping, but having gone
100m, and just before a narrow turn in the road, they saw what looked
like two phosphorescent red legs cross the road in two strides, a few
metres ahead. At the same time their headlights and dashboard lights
went out and they almost crashed. The lights then came on again Bensa
was now so scared he hid behind the dashboard. After 150m he waited
at a rest area for Leca, but when the latter did not appear after a
few seconds, he panicked again and drove on Ikm further on, they saw
the two “red legs” again. Halfway back to town, the car was
suddenly flung off sideways at 90 degrees to the road, then flung
back again, as if by some huge force. </span><br />

diameter, with a dome and gave off a blue glow. She attempted to
speak to her husband on her CB radio but interference broke into the
transmission. After what she thought was five minutes, but later
found was 20 she realised that the object was in the air. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Under
hypnotic regression in 1978 she recalled that her car stopped and its
lights went out. Beings, about 1.5m tall, approached her car. One
came to the door and she noticed it had a pasty white face, elongated
eyes, only holes for a nose, a slit for a mouth and had only three
fingers on its claw like hand. Two of the beings looked female, one
of whom was dressed in a long robe with a band around her head. The
other, like the “men” wore a silver grey metallic jump suit,
along with gloves, boots and belt around the chest and waist. Their
shoes had a separate place for their big toes. Their hands were cold
like the dead, and gave the impression of being cold and unfeeling,

found herself in a very bright space, with lots of machinery along
the sides of curved walls. These machines were like nothing she had
ever seen before, a couiple of them had screens, with lines moving
along them. There were also large, strangely shaped coloured lights.
Towards one end of the room was a screen on which there were things
like stars. The “woman” gestured to S to undress and wheh she
hestitated the woman began to undo her blouse. When teo of the beings
held her arms, S felt her will drain away. They told her in some
unspecified way that it was important that they get hold of the
information. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">S
was strapped to a table by both hands but only one leg. She saw her
blood flowing into a series of small tubes, needles were pushed into
her arms and they and her bound leg were stretched to the limit. The
beings took samples from her skin and mouth. A needle penetrated her
navel, at which pain was replaced by euphoria. One of the beings then
seemed to tell her to relax and that they would then talk. Her moods
swung wildly as memories flooded through her, and fears seemed to be
induced. A cold metallic devise penetrated her vagina. At the end of
this they made no attempt to help her get dressed again. The walls of
the room opened and two of the beings helped her outside and back to
the car. The object then took off with a buzzing sound. Further
investigation in 1983 hinted at further abductions and of the
abduction of her husband. </span><br />

returning home to Point Arena from a drama workshop. They were
driving north along Highway 1, when as they ascended out of a gully
something like a gigantic light flashed on in the meadow opposite
them. It was a large, fuzzy yellow, bright spherical light only
25-30m away and appeared to be on the ground. By the time they had
stopped to look they were about 120m up the next hill. At this moment
the object rose up from the meadow and over the cypress trees, at
which the party accelerated away. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For
a few minutes the object followed the car and the teenagers became
frightened, one girl starting to cry. The object then veered off and
headed out over the ocean. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They
let one boy off in Point Arena and then started back to Gualala and
as they came to the crest of the same hill, they saw the object
again, this time on the east side of the road and more distant. The
next day the teacher returned to the site where the thing had first
been seen and found a circular, discoloured mark in the meadow, where
the thing had been and a hole in the ground, which was probably a
gopher hole. Another couple had seen the thing moving out over the
ocean. </span><br />

pitched, siren like sound and a glow like that on a watch dial
shimmered around the house. He went to the door, where he saw lights
and a vague, purple, round shape about 50m away in the night sky. It
was smooth and unearthly, 5m by 3-3.5m. After five minutes the pitch
grew sharper and something took shape within the doughnut shaped
centre of the mass. It was a green humanoid figure, with a number of
off devices on a plastic belt it was wearing, and was holding an
object shaped like an egg with a piece missing. The being seemed to
take readings with these objects, which changed colour. Surrounding
the creature’s head were tentacle like objects, and its hands had
three or four fingers only. The creature ignored Mars and the whole

field. After 25-30 minutes the creature was taken back into the

crew of a train travelling between Mount Vernon and Evansville saw a
pulsating light in the sky, moving north to south. Shortly after this
they saw a light so low that they thought there was another train
behind them, and the automatic warning of something on the track was
activated. The control authorities denied there was anything on the
line behind. The light was then seen to take off and the warning went
from red to green. </span><br />

LP was returning home from college but she failed to arrive and her
car was found abandoned with tracks suggesting something was dragged
away. Investigators found nothing until she came into the sheriff’s
office on the 24<sup>th</sup>, with dirty feet and torn panty hose.
She reported that she was driving along a deserted highway when her
car stalled. As she was examining the engine under the bonnet she was
grabbed from behind. She realised that there were three beings, who
seemed to have no real face, only white visages like moulded plastic
macs, with two large eyes. They had three fingered claws and wore
metallic blue overalls. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She
was touched on the neck and seemed to lose her will, as she was
floated up a ramp into a strange object. Inside she was strapped to a
table and given blood tests, skin scrapings, rectal examinations, and
needles pushed into her arms and abdomen. After the beings had left
her alone for hours in the examination room she was released and then
tied to a chair. Electrodes were attached to her body and she was
interrogated by two beings. Afterwards she was again left strapped
up, hands tied behind her back. Sometime later one of the beings
returned with food and water. She drank the water and fell asleep. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When
she awoke the beings returned with her clothes, standing by as she
dressed. After another period of isolation they returned with food,
which when she ate, felt tasteless like paper. They told her they
would monitor her and see her again and that she would want to see
the baby. On finishing the food she passed out and came to in a
cornfield, with her watch, earrings and one shoe missing. She
suffered an emotional collapse and severe depression. </span><br />

a flashlight was shone on the beings, they moved away. They came as

eyes, pointed noses and ears. They made easy, leaping, movements. Two

R Heitfield, a 48 year old divorcee, was asleep with her children in
their trailer home. She awoke to get a drink of water and noticed a
light coming through the drawn curtains. When she pulled them apart
she saw an arc of individual lights less than 2m from her home. There
were six lights, about 1.2m above the ground, as large as an
outstretched hand, colours alternating from vivid blue to silver, but
they cast no reflection. Suddenly they blinked out and she saw a
brighter light resting on the asphalt of the parking lot 15m away,
partially obscured by a car parked on the pavement 3m away. It was a
glowing object, shaped like a bell jar 2m diameter and was
transparent, emitting a light like that in an operating theatre. She
then saw by this capsule, a huge ape like creature, which appeared to
be near the rear of the parked car. She tried to wake her 13 year old
son Carl, without success, then went back to her window, where she
now saw that the creature was in the light source. It was stood
sideways to her, facing a large building 45m to her left. It was a
hulking, grey, ape like creature with a heavy waist and no neck. The
only facial feature she could distinguish was a snout like nose. Its
arms swung slowly, stiffly and mechanically up and down, as though it
was operating levers. By now Carl, still very sleepy, had arrived on
the scene and was able to make out the light, but was not sure about
the creature. Mrs Heitfield went to phone the police, who refused to
believe her, and when she returned the object and creature had gone.
Next day, she learnt that a fire alarm had been set off for no
apparent reason in the nearby warehouse at the same time. Later at
the site a swirl of ashes, some powdery material and other small
chunks of stuff were found at the site. </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At
a point 14.5km east of Hartford City, Mrs Debbie Carne saw a group of
creatures cross the road in front of her, then raise their arms,
making a loud noise. She thought that they were children playing
pranks until she heard of the following, later incidents. About 15
minutes later, Debbie Donathan was driving her husband, DeWane, and
baby home, when at the same spot, just one block before their home,
they saw what looked like two children dancing in the road. She
stopped the car about 10m from them, and saw that they were two
creatures, about 1.2m tall, dressed silvery, tight fitting suits.
They were slight in build, with very straight bodies and what looked
like boxes on their feet. They moved in a strange, slow motion
fashion, apparently bouncing off the road with their arms flapping
strangely. Debbie panicked and accelerated past them; as she did so
the creatures got out of the way in a strange, slow, skipping manner,
with their arms moving slowly and flopping. Debbie drove on to an old
church a few blocks away. Here DeWane took over the wheel and,
arguing that it was children, drove back towards their house. They
could see nothing on the road, but could see a row of red lights over
a cornfield. Debbie was too frightened to go home, so they returned
to her mother’s house in Hartford City, where Debbie was so shaken
her family thought they may have to call the doctor. They didn’t do
this, but did call the local sheriff. The call was answered by Deputy
Edd Townsend, a state policeman who did not wish to be identified,
and Garry Flatter-a local gas station owner, and wrecker driver.
These three went to the scene, where they could see nothing but heard
an unnerving high pitched sound. At about 2355hrs. Flatter and the
policeman returned to the area, the officer going east, and Flatter
taking a road 1.5km south of the original sighting. While travelling
east on this road, Flatter noted the animals were making a mass
exodus from the area, and he had to slow down for several rabbits,
cats, a possum and a racoon. He then heard the high frequency sound
again and, looking round, saw, standing in a field 6m back off from
the road and about 23m from his location, two small creatures about
1.2m tall. They wore metallic suits that were so shiny that the
reflection almost blinded him when he put his spotlight on them. He
was able to see that they had either egg shaped heads or helmets,
from which tapered a sort of “garden hose” which went into their
lower chest. He could not detect any facial features and their arms
seemed to lack hands. He also noted their strange thick boots (7.5 x
5.5cm). They seemed to jump up a metre without any effort, going up
and down in slow motion, hardly ever moving their arms. They did this
three times then took off in feet down position, flying off into the
night. He tried to trace them with his spotlight, but could only see
red tracer streaks coming down. Before the creatures took off,
Flatter had become very uneasy. They next day Flatter, DeWane
Donathan, Townsend and the state policeman returned to the scene
where the Donathans had seen the creatures. As they had driven away
that night, DeWane had thought he had seen the creatures go into a
cornfield, and at a spot 15m back from that place, they found seven
imprints, each about 2cm deep at the deepest point, which looked like
rather squarish hoofprints. They measured 7.5cm across and were in
alternate rows as if something had walked in the area. The field was
dry and the men, who weighed an average of 200 pounds, made no
imprint themselves. </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At
least 15 people saw a bright red ball hovering over a field on the
Kowalczyk farm. George Kowalczyk (22), the son of the owner of the
field, was driving by at the time and decided to investigate. Two
neighbouring 19 year old twin boys came with him, and he took his
rifle. As they drove towards the light his car headlights dimmed and
they saw the object slowly descending towards the field .They walked
up over the crest of the hill and saw the object on or just above the
field. Meanwhile at the house, George’s German shepherd dog became
very agitated. The trio now saw that the object was a bright, white
dome about 30m diameter, illuminating the area and emitting a sound
like a lawn mower. One of the twins yelled that something was
approaching. George could not properly see what it was because of his
myopia, but thought it was bears and fired a tracer shot over their
head to frighten them away. From the light of the tracer he saw that
there were two strange creatures 2.1m and 2.4m tall, certainly taller
than the 1.8m tall fence. Both creatures resembled anthropoids, were
covered with long, dark, greyish hair, and had yellow-green eyes. The
smaller creature seemed to be taking long strides as if trying to
keep up with the larger one, whose left hand was touching the fence
as they moved along. They were making whining sounds, like a baby
crying, to each other, and there was a strong smell, compared to
sulphour or burning rubber. George fired a second shot over their
heads, then, when they kept on coming, three shots directly into the
larger of them. When it was hit the creature made a whining sound,
moved its right hand towards its fellow, at which the glowing object
just disappeared in the field and the noise stopped. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One
of the twins fled back to the house in terror and the creatures
walked back into the woods. George and the other boy saw a glowing
white area in the field, and their eyes began to bother them. After
some hesitation, George called the police and State Trooper Paul
Shearon arrived on the scene. On going to the site he confirmed the
existence of the glowing ring. After they had been in the area for
about 30 minutes, they saw an illumination in a field and heard
sounds in the woods, at which George, becoming very agitated, left
the area. Shearon called in Stan Gordon and his colleagues in the
Westmorland County UFO Study Group. They arrived on the scene with
George and his father. Suddenly a bull and a dog became very
agitated. While one of the members was interrogating him, George
collapsed into a severe hysterical attack and could be restrained
only with difficulty. During this attack he had a vision of a
symbolic struggle (symbolised by a bright light and voice) and evil
(symbolised by a “grim reaper”, the creatures and a force). He
believed he was being told that the United States would not see 1976.
During this crisis several other reported a smell of sulphour and
experienced feelings of anxiety. Horses and cattle later stayed clear
of the site. </span><br />

appeared to be systematically examining the area. When the witness
opened the window to hear if there was any sound coming from the
object, she noticed the absence of the usual night sounds (crickets
etc.). The street light was brighter than usual. Her family dogs were
absolutely silent, as if they had been drugged. She detected a low
buzzing sound. Everything else was unusually silent and motionless.
Two of the objects then approached and she went back to bed very

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dionisio
Llanca (or Yanka), 25, a truck driver was forced to stop and change a
tyre at a spot 18km from Bahia city. As he was working the road
became illuminated with an intense yellow light about 2km away. He
thought that it was car headlights but after a few seconds it became
a searing blue light, like am arc welder’s torch. Dionisio lost
strength and was unable to rise. He then saw an object shaped like a
plate hovering at 7m altitude and three people at his shoulder. The
paralysis became more intense and the saw that the strangers were two
men and a woman, each 1.7-1.75m tall dressed in smoky or silvery grey
one piece, close fitting suits with orange gloves and boots. They had
blonde hair, short with the men, shoulder length for the woman, high
foreheads and “Mongolian” eyes and they talked in an
incomprehensible noise, like the humming of a badly tuned radio. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These
strangers seized Dionisio and applied an instrument, like an electric
razor with a small tube, to his finger at which he passed out. He
awoke at about 0230hrs. in the rail yard at Bahia, 9.5km from the
scene of the encounter, cold, sick and suffering from loss of memory.
He was taken eventually to the municipal hospital. He recovered his
memory on the 30</span><sup style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">th</sup><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. During his stay in hospital he was
given sodium pentothal and hypnotic treatment. He discharged himself

depression and nightmares.</span></div>

these sessions he recalled being taken into the object up a ray of
light with the two men. He found himself in a room with a metallic
floor and a single round window, where there were instruments, one of
which had a sort of TV screen on which there were stars. One of these
instruments was a sort of radio set which addressed him in Spanish,
which said that they were friends who had been contacting earth
people since 1950; were seeing if earth people could live on their
planet. He added that the object had affixed two tubes, one to a high
tension wire, and the other to a lake (there had indeed been a sudden
surge of power at that time. He also told some investigators that he
had been given a message that he was not permitted to divulge, and
hinted that they would be back. Dionesio seemed to lose consciousness
when the woman approached him with a glove. He then found himself
falling into a field</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.</span><br />

the object, which then turned to the left and back again. Mrs E then
called her parents, the Ws, who lived just two houses below them and

at a public house, without customers, there they were charged just 5 pence each for a pint of beer. They paid this with old pre-decimal money
they happened to have. When the men tried to find the pub some weeks
later they could find no trace of it. </span></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mrs
Lyndia Morel, a masseuse, aged about 20, was driving home, when in
Pindarville her attention was caught by a bright flashing star in the
sky. This was in view intermittently until she passed the outskirts
of Goffstown (this light was probably Mars). She then saw a light,
which she thought was the same one, low down on the North West Road.
It was about 480m away and was the angular diameter of a pea. It was
emitting multicoloured flashes (red, green blue) and appeared to be a
golden-orange globe, honeycombed with hexagons, and with a paler oval
window on the upper left portion. She heard a steady high pitched
whine and her body tingled as if she were falling asleep. She felt
unable to take her eyes off the object or her hands off the steering
wheel. She felt that something was taking over her body and the car,
which was being pulled forwards. She had no recollection of
travelling the next 800m. When she came to her senses she found that
the car was moving fast forwards, out of her control, and that the
object was pulling the car towards it. This object increased to first
the angular diameter of a dime, then a quarter. . As the car
approached a point opposite the middle of the cemetery, the object
seemed to come within 150 of the car, growing brighter and the whine
growing louder. She now saw in the upper left hand window, outlined
against a white light, the head, upper arms and torso of a figure,
whose lower body was obscured by a dark horizontal surface. It had
small shoulders, a rounded head of a lighter greyish or flesh colour,
darker on top. The face was wrinkled like an elephant's hide, the
eyes were large, egg shaped, angled up towards the forehead, and had
large, dark, pupils. There was a slit shaped mouth, no ears or nose
being visible. The eyes seemed to grip her and she received an
impression that she was being told not to be afraid. The light became
blinding, and, covering her eyes, she swerved into the driveway of
the Beaudoin house. She dived out of the car, punched their alsatian
out of the way and pounded on the door hysterically. The object had
shifted from west to north and the high pitched sound had become
unbearable. Mr Beaudoin opened the door after a couple of minutes,
and Lyndia collapsed into the house, crying that a UFO was trying to
kidnap her. Neither of Beaudoins heard the sound, though Lyndia was
covering her ears. She claimed that the noise and numbness passed
after she had been in their kitchen for a couple of minutes, and that
her eyes were suffering from a bright spot similar to that produced
by a staring at a bright light. Police investigated and saw a bright
light which seems to have been Mars. </span><br />

from the nearby lagoon, dripping with water, 100m apart. They
resembled soup tureens 45m wide, 12m high, with three rotating
spheres on their undersides. One approached and hovered at 80-100m,
projecting two beams of light, down each of which came tall beings
(1.8m +) dressed in tight diving suits and helmets. They came
within10m, telepathically said they were friends, and took Enrique to
a clearing where a beam transported him onto the craft. He was
disinfected and taken to the leader. There were other beings, one of
whom was a transformed former friend. There was the usual
platitudinous conversation, he was shown a laboratory, gave him
something like a chocolate bar to eat, which they said was manna, and
allowed to sleep in a bed for three hours. He was then dropped off

(30) and Theresa Snow were startled by a noise of something brushing
against their house. Edgar got up but was unable to see anything.
However their dog, in the kitchen, began to whine, so Edgar got up
again to let him out. He noticed light coming from the kitchen,
which, when he reached it, he saw was coming in through the window.
The German Shepherd dog was crouching near the door, growling, teeth
bared and hair bristling. As Edgar opened the back door curtains, he
was shaken to see that the light came from two self luminous, silver
suited creatures, 1.35-1.5m tall, with oversized pointed ears, dark,
egg shaped, holes for eyes and large noses. Their heads were covered
by what looked like Klu Klux Klan hoods made of a silvery material.
Their hands were covered by silver gloves; indeed everything except
their boots seemed to be made a single, seamless silvery garment like
a wet suit The boots had no heels and were curled up at the toes.
Edgar terrified his wife by rushing back into the bedroom, loading
his 38 calibre automatic and returning to the kitchen. He now ordered
the dog to attack the creatures, which were less than 20m away. The
dog went for the creatures but when it was about 10m from them, it
turned round and walked back to the house, where it lay and whined.
Edgar quickly closed the door, shaking too much to use the gun, while
the creatures carried on picking up items from the ground and putting
them in a silvery bag. While one of the beings held the bag, the
other held a long cylindrical instrument like a powerful torch. The
creatures moved slowly and deliberately, like a slow motion film.
They then turned and walked into the woods. Only then would Theresa
come to the door; all the saw was a glow in the woods. Police were
called and confirmed that Edgar was extremely shaken but no traces
could be found. At 1930hrs.hours the previous Evening. Edgar had seen
a silvery object with four red glowing windows at one end hovering
over radio station towers about 1.5km to the east. </span><br />

Bruce saw a stationary light over an oat field about 800m away. It
was a sort of vertical rectangle, 3m square and 14m tall. It was high
up when first seen and then came near the ground. After about 10
minutes it moved north and then left rapidly. Two hours before the
boys saw this object their father had noticed that the cattle were
extremely restless, his truck engine would only run intermittently

to a luminous object in less than 3m of water. When Raymond swung his
oar hard into the water, the light went out. The object appeared
again, even more brilliant. This went on for some time and they were
able to make out that this object was almost 3m in diameter, round
and of metallic appearance. It resembled the rounded top of a
parachute, with rib like lines running from a dark lump in its centre
to the outer rim. It glowed milky white when the light was on. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They

oval, about 90cm by 1.2m amd when it passed under the fishing boats
that had gathered they could see that it came from a metallic object.
When they put oars into the beam of light, the light seemed to shine
through them. The light went out and reappeared about 10m away, but
dimmed when they gave chase. </span><br />

and Donna Bouchard were driving towards Ottawa from inspecting their

They were driving along the deserted road in a rural area on this
dark night, about 2.5km down the road, when Rick, a railway ticket
clerk, observed brilliant lights in his side mirror. He first thought
that it was a truck but then realised that a truck could not have
suddenly got into that position, and that the lights were a large
number of small lights, rotating and bouncing up and down. Donna
observed them at about the same time. The lights appeared to project
about 60cm over each side of the road, and to the right behind them.
Rick accelerated up to 155kph and after a short distance at the
object fell back and rose to treetop height. The thing then dived
down to within 3m of them, rose up and dived again, reaching speed up
to 500kph. It went under the last underpass after them, and then
disappeared. They continued to derive at about 160kph before almost
colliding with a road sign. They reported the matter to the police
and then went to the hospital for shock. </span><br />

Dolphijn (60) had to get up to go to the bathroom and on her way
noticed something white out of the front windows. Returning from the
bathroom, she looked out of the window and saw three small beings,
dressed in white garments, walking on the pavement towards her.
Kneeling down to get a better look, she saw that they wore white
robes, which reminded her of monks’ habits, that came down to their
feet, which were covered by oversized shoes. On their heads they wore
hats that came down in two points on their shoulders, where they
appeared to be attached to their robes. She could not see any facial
features, because of reflections from the moon and a streetlight, but
she could see that they wore belts on which several small instruments
were attached. Two of the beings, about 1m tall, were walking side by
side, while the third, somewhat taller, one was walking behind them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They appeared to shuffle along without taking their feet off the
ground, and Mrs Dolphijn got the impression that they had short stiff
legs and no knees. The being on the front right hand side had, in his
hand, an object reminiscent of a carpet sweeper, which he moved back
and forth along the pavement. She became afraid and thought of
calling her husband, who was still asleep in their back bedroom, but
thought better of it, as he had a weak heart. After a 4-5 minute
observation the taller being seemed to notice her, looked up at the
window where she was crouching, and immediately they all turned round
and shuffled away at some speed to behind a nearby school. She then
went back to her room, where her husband woke up. Glancing out the
bedroom window, she saw a luminous red ball, 2-2.5m diameter, which
reminded her of the setting sun, but much brighter, on the pavement
some 40m away. Her husband asked what the time was , she glanced at
the clock to note it was 0225, when she looked back to the window,
the object had gone. She then told her husband what she had seen, and
he noticed that she was shaken. After a while they decided to go back
to sleep. </span><br />

passed behind a sign, came so low as to be obscured by neighbouring
buildings and then rose to 300-500m in a flash. The thing was an
elliptical, very bright bluish white light, too bright for prolonged
observation and with no visible structural details. It appeared to be
about 6 blocks away and was estimated to be 10m diameter. A
photograph was taken just before the rapid take off, which just

County deputies Eddie Gonzalez and Frank Lopez were driving three

object, with a red light on the top and a yellow one on the bottom,
descended to 15m above their cruiser. It followed them for 30km at
speeds up to 130kph. The prisoners in the rear began to panic. Police
units in Harlingen and San Benito were alerted and Patrolman Arnold
Riveas of the San Benito police observed an orange object hovering
12m above the deputies’ car. The object then changed to an intense
white, turned off at an angle and took off at terrific speed. The
unit at Harlingen also saw the light. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In
a rural area 8km from Greensboro, Sharon McIntyre saw a bright light
among the trees and heard a rustling sound. Her dog was upset. She
drew her husband Wayne’s attention to it. They watched the light
for 15-30 minutes. It was sometimes motionless, at other times it
made quick darting movements. Another couple, the Minors, also
watched the light. Messes McIntyre and Minor chased the thing in a
car, but were unable to tell which roads led to it. They went to the
Andrews house, where the family had already seen this object and
concurred in a description of it being a turquoise vertical egg
shaped object, about 3m long by 1-11.5m wide. At 2030hrs. McIntyre
and Minor left the McIntyre home and encountered a white light coming
over a nearby hill. They first thought it came from the headlights of
a truck, but then saw that it was from a streamlined, oblong, aerial
object, which lit up the sky beneath it. They retreated to the
McIntyre home, at which time it came within 90m. They saw that it was
between 8-12m in diameter, 1.5-2.5m high. It retreated somewhat and
began to emit a pulsating sequence of turquoise, amber and white
lights, in a rapid sequence from right to left, along a central band.
It then made a wide sweep of the horizon, before settling down out of
sight behind trees. At about the same time Harold Hopper had seen a
bright white light descending in the direction of the two women. </span><br />

evening. Passing through a neighbour</span><span style="font-family: "lucida sans unicode";">痴
</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">garden,
they came to a vacant lot that contained a couple of small trees,
hard clay ground covered by dead field grass and surrounded by a
chain fence. In this field they saw a dark object apparently sitting
on the ground. Richard walked up to it and hit it two or three times
with the flashlight he was holding, making a metallic sound.
Immediately a dome on the top of the object, about as high as broad,
became illuminated by an intense red light that lit up the whole
area. The boys now saw that it was standing on legs about 45cm above
the ground. It rose up to about 1m and as it did so a row of green
lights around the peripheral rim began to flash in sequence, the
object began to rotate, emitting a medium pitched '</span><span style="font-family: "lucida sans unicode";">w</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">hooing' sound. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">rate of rotation became very rapid, red light went out and
came back on again and the object took off to the south west, still
emitting its peculiar sound. At this the boys panicked and ran away,
feeling faint and tingly, almost passing out, and feeling as though
they were running in slow motion. As they reached the streets they
saw the object disappear among the clouds. They described the object,
in comparison with their houses, as about 6m in diameter and 3m or so
high. Investigators found two holes in the field, 15cm square and
deep, about 2m apart. A third hole, forming an equilateral triangle
with the other two was found on a slight rise. They were about 12m
from the back fence and the hole nearest the side fence was 7.6m from
it. The dead grass appeared to be lying in a counter-clockwise
circular pattern. The holes gave the impression of some great weight
shearing into the clay. Later investigations detected a magnetic
fluctuation. Interference on television had been noted at 1920hrs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Four
teenagers double dating in a car in a country parking spot noted some
6m behind them a white sphere, about the size of or just a bit bigger
than a basketball, low above the ground. It emitted a soft glow that
did not illuminate the surroundings and had a slight bobbing motion.
The four got out to investigate, and as they approached the light
moved slowly away, increasing in speed as one youth tried to outflank
it, and wove its way through the trees till it was out of sight. They
stood around talking about the incident for a couple of minutes,
until the cold drove them back to the car. They were about to get
back in, when they suddenly saw an object slowly descending through
the overcast. It resembled one plate inverted over another, with
flashing red, yellow and blue lights around the centre and a bright
light shining up from the top, lighting up the clouds. They estimated
the object was about 1.5km away and about 30m in diameter and that it
was hovering about 200-300m below the cloud cover. The top light then
went out and after about 30 seconds the object began to move slowly
towards the group. When it had halved the distance it stopped again
for about 10-12 seconds and then a white sphere dropped out of the
bottom and sped away to the northwest, after a while descending at an
angle before flattening out and speeding away. About 10 seconds later
another sphere dropped out of the object, followed about a minute
later by a third sphere, red this time, which descended to about 60m
and sped overhead. The large object then slowly rose into the cloud
cover. The whole episode occurred in complete silence. No effects
were noticed on electrical equipment etc. </span><br />

G (24) and three other young women, the youngest aged 14, were
driving from Tracy to Montreal along Rd 3 on this clear, starry
evening, when they observed a luminous sphere, the apparent size of a
water melon, hovering over a pylon some 400m ahead of their car. As
they drove past the ball and pylon, going west, the sphere flew from
left to right, flying over the St Lawrence River just to their right,
and then proceeded to follow their car. The ball was white, with a
slight yellow tinge, shone with a soft, sparkling light, and was
surrounded by a thin halo. Its dimensions kept changing, but never
went below the angular diameter of Venus. It seemed to come closer
through uninhabited regions and retreat in populated districts. It
generally kept to the same speed as the car, sometimes behind,
sometimes by the side, sometimes ahead. At times it came below 10m,
once as low as a telephone pole. Just before they arrived at
Contrecour the object had ascended as a car passed at speed, but on
the other side of town it came low in a field. At this point they
were in a line of cars travelling at 95kph, but they had to slow down
as each car passed through a sort of cloud. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This cloud was the width
of the road, as long as four car lengths and about the same height as
the cars. As Miss G and her companions drove through it, they noticed
an unusual silence bit no other affects. Just after they came out of
the cloud they saw that a car which had overtaken them had fallen
into the ditch on the right hand side of the road, but as they could
not see the driver, they carried on. Just then they saw a small man
standing on the white line in the middle of the road, performing some
sort of sweeping action. He worse dark green clothes, a peak cap that
covered much of his face; he was no more than 1.52m tall, with short
legs and slim build. He seemed strangely unconcerned as they drove
past him. A little further on there were two or three people in dark
clothing who stood by the side of the road. The object continued to
follow them until they reached the Louis -Hyppolite- La Fontaine
tunnel, upon which it took off towards Montreal. When they returned
along the route at 2030hrs. the red cloud was still there but nothing
else was to be seen. </span><br />

luminous object, shaped like an inverted pear hovered at 30m altitude
above the Boulevard Industriel. The thing was surrounded by red and
green flashing lights on both sides. After hovering motionless for 15
minutes the thing began to move slowly southwards and two similar
objects joined it. Then all the lights and objects disappeared
silently. </span><br />

Fay Seeley, her sons Richard and Russell and Mrs Fay Hileman and her

light, which then dimmed, low in the sky. Later the object appeared
on first one side of their car and then the other, darting faster
than the eye could follow. This object followed them, dimmed out, got
brighter and then disappeared. At the Brazos River Bridge the thing
reappeared again, at treetop height, as if to land. Mrs Seeley then
turned the car around but the object kept following them, keeping
pace but when another car approached the thing took off. It was
round, with one point on the top and two on the bottom and was bright
enough to cast shadows on the highway. </span><br />

Joao Rodrigues Tera (25) and his farm hand Djalman da Silva Faques
(22) were driving to the farmer’s house (Cavora Farm, about 50km
from Sidrolandia), when they observed a strange low white cloud and
then a bright orange oval object, 12m diameter. It was 1m above the
ground and 30m away. It had a cap on the top and bottom, the surface
was shiny and metallic, with a luminous fan shaped beam directed
upwards from the top. The object continuously changed colours. They
had difficulty starting their pickup truck and then could only crawl
along as the machine paced them at a distance of 30m, for 10 minutes.
Faques, the passenger, observed the object closely and could clearly
see a small human figure inside. The truck functioned normally after
the object had gone away, but its new battery failed three days later
and could not be recharged. </span><br />

being 1.2m tall, with a round head, two very bright eyes, which were
three times the normal size, but with no visible nose or mouth.
Around the head there was a sort of fiery halo, and laces around its
neck. The creature’s shoulders sloped right down from its head at
45 degrees. Mrs P was not afraid and was so captivated by its beauty
that she could not move away. After about 15 seconds it went away,
and she now realised that it had been something very strange and went
to wake her husband. Mr P found no traces of the being, but the dog
was lying on the ground in terror. The following night their cat was

keeping unusually close to the family. </span><br />

Hildebrand and a friend were fishing on the army ground beach at
Grain, opposite Southend, when they noticed a light like a Tilly Lamp
coming towards them from about 2km out to sea. At first they thought
that it was a fishing boat and did not take much notice of it.
Looking to their right, a few minutes later, they saw that the light
was in line with the beach, at about the height of an army lookout
tower. They then realised that it was turning and coming towards
them. It came within 55-65m of them and they saw that it was disc,
which reminded them of a giant clay pigeon, with a dome on top, in
which there were several windows that emitted a powerful light. The
thing itself appeared to be of a dirty grey colour. After hovering
above the pair for 5-6 minutes, the object moved off along the beach
towards Sheerness at walking speed. </span><br />

The night was clear and starry and an intense glimmer to his eft
caught his attention. In the sky he saw two white lights, located
over a smaller red one. They twinkled for two seconds and appeared to
be part of some larger object. This object progressed towards the
cyclist, in a series of jerks, down from 90m to 15m. The young man
now saw that the thing was circular, luminous, metallic looking and
was the apparent size of a car. It was surmounted by a dome, with red
light on top and a white light on its circumference, which light made
an orbit every two seconds. Frightened, he abandoned his bicycle and
hid behind a nearby garden wall from where he observed the object
take off at a running pace, in the same jerky fashion. The witness
then grabbed his bicycle and ran home, where he alerted his parents,
who observed the lights through the window for 5 minutes. </span><br />

hemispherical object, about 15m diameter, in snow covered fields 100m
away. A dark opening appeared in the thing and three beings, about
1.2m tall with large heads protruding eyes with prominent whites,
just holes for a nose, narrow mouths and bulging cheeks. They were
each carrying a dark box with a sort of round screen in their
unusually long arms, and walked slowly and stiffly to within 15m of
the couple. Behind them, close to the object, stood two human looking
figures about 2m tall, with light complexions and shoulder length
blond hair, dressed in similar once piece suits. Close by the opening
stood a squat, “ape like” figure covered in fur. The young woman
was so afraid that she left her friend’s car and ran back to her
own, parked nearby, and jumped in. At this the various figures
stopped and they entered the object, squat one, followed by the
humans and then the dwarfs, the latter running so fast that it looked
as though they were flying. The dark opening disappeared and the
thing took off, becoming a brilliant shiny colour as it did so,
rising vertically to about 10m and then shot off to the west,
becoming orange, blue and red respectively, as it disappeared to a
point. The woman just observed the thing take off. The witnesses did
not hang around but next day Mrs Michel and her children found
strange tracks in their garden at Maubeuge about 1.75km away. </span><br />

bright light hovering at treetop level. Paul detoured and followed
the light as it travelled through the town. After several minutes
they got within a couple of hundred metres and stopped. The thing
then turned on its side and began approaching, at which they backed
away. Now back on their original route they saw that the object was
now pacing the car. Paul got out, and as he did so the object stopped
and rose into the sky silently. Paul got back into the car and when
he looked again the object had gone. Police also observed red lights,
like inverted cups, over a swampy area. </span></span><br />

a shiny, silvery, cigar shaped object, with a green light at one end,
a red light at the other and a pulsating white light in the centre,
which was so bright that the woman had trouble seeing the road,. She
felt as though the object was photographing her and her heart rate
became rapid, though she did not feel excessively frightened. The
light stayed fixed on the car for at least 35 minutes, during which
the object, the same size as their Buick, made no noise. The object
then went quickly across the meridian of the divided highway, head

to test their machines on the hills slopes. The lads found the chapel
apparently lit by orange floodlights. Dismounting and walking a bit
further on,, they saw a circular, aluminium coloured, metallic
looking thing standing on legs and with a light that flashed
alternately red and white going around it. It had a cupola on top of
which was a sort of protuberance that was more brightly lit than the
rest of the thing, and the thing emitted a slight hum, like that of
an electric motor. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The
boys were almost paralysed with fear and when a double sliding door
opened in the thing’s side and a small ladder unrolled, they jumped
back on their mopeds and drove for home. As they did so, the object
pursued them, lighting up the sky with its orange glow, though they

to investigate any further. The boys’ story brought out some locals
to investigate. In one car was Mr Antoine Bas, his two sons, daughter
and son-in-law, who drove up to within 300m of the chapel, where they
saw a round luminous object that appeared to be about to land, but
which took off towards Sete. They followed it the car and saw it once
more. Many other motorists also saw the thing and stopped. The time
was now 2200hrs. In another car were Jean Rodriguez Snr, and five
boys, including his son. They closely examined the landing site by
the light of their car headlights and saw freshly made marks; 4 holes
30cm wide, 1.3m apart set in a square. On one side of the square were
two smaller holes a few centimetres deep and closer together, which
appeared to have been made by a ladder. The area appeared to have
been swept, as if by a blast. Mr Bas returned on the night of the 8<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">th</span> at 2300hrs. and again saw a great red glow. Fernand was extremely
shaken and had nightmares on the night of the incident. </span><br />

Riley was driving back to the family caravan on the dead-end Quakers
Road, which he and his father used as a base for their bulldozing in
the area. East along Quakers Road, about 2km from the caravan, Martin
saw a yellow light, like a headlight, above a new tractor in the
paddock alongside the road, Martin continued toward the light and
when about 300m from it, the thing moved off parallel to the road.
The light was about 60cm across, and though he was travelling at
65kph, seemed to keep the same distance ahead about 2.5m above the
paddocks. Martin found this experience rather disturbing but carried
on to get to the caravan. A sandbank about 2.5m high now blocked the
light’s path but it just cleared the bank and was lost to view.
When Martin turned the next bend the light was waiting for him some
distance ahead. The light then began to move again and when Martin
next looked for it, after negotiating g a gateway, it had
disappeared. </span><br />

Lennartz (33), landlord of the alpine hut on the peak of Mt Hochries
(1569m), was sat having dinner with his porter, Peter Zettle (29),
when, through the window, Peter saw a sort of fiery light over Mt
Geigelstein (1808m) and Friedrich’ a attention to it. This light
was so brilliant that it illuminated the ground around it. They first
thought that it might be an emergency flare, or a hut on fire, but
through binoculars it resolved itself into a vertical egg shaped
object, with the upper end more pointed, which was stood on the snow
near the mountain cross, from the dimensions of which, Friedrich was
able to estimate the dimensions of the object as 9m wide, 12-14m
wide. Its upper third resembled a yellowish dome and rotating
coloured lights sped round the outer part of the body and
circumference. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Despite
this curious shape the men went into aircraft emergency procedure,
signalling the object with the hotel lights and began to contact
other 11m band users in the Munich-Rosenheim area, with his powerful
equipment. At 2050hrs. F fired a rocket signal and the object
responded by emitting a pinky-red glow and slowly rising, clearing
the mountains in 4-5 minutes, rising 200m to do so., glowing red all
over, except for the yellow cupola. The object dashed towards the
hut., F noticing static on his carrier wave as it did so, while the
operators listening in noted the his signal was getting stronger.
This interference was compared by some stations to that of a jammer.
Within 10 seconds the object had travelled 5-6 kilometres i.e. at
supersonic speed) and had landed on the slopes Klausenberg, less than
2km away, descending from 1800-1550m. They could now see the lights
running around its outer edge again and that the dome resembled a
sort of Perspex cockpit, through which a white light was shining and
being made yellow. Three or four dark ledges reached down from the
object’s apex to the lower rim of the cabin, giving the effect of a
glared crew cabin.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Below
the rim four rows of pulsating coloured lights, whirled round the
dark body, red, green, blue, white anti-clockwise, like the strobe
lights of a discotheque. At the circumference another light went
round the thing clockwise. They had a vague impression that the thing
had a grey- metallic surface. After 30 seconds the object took off
and made a right angled turn in the direction of Klausenalm hut in
Austrian territory. Two to three minutes later they saw it hovering
10-30m above a high pasture between Klaustenberg and Zinnenberg. The
static on the receiver continued and they turned off the set. At
2100hrs. F;s dogs whimpered to get in. Nothing further happened
until, 2340hrs. when F fired another signal rocket, at which the
object took off at tremendous speed, inclined slightly to the west.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mrs
Nita Smitherman was driving with her grandson Brent R(4) on the Old
Hearne Road, north of Calvert when the boy began to insist that there
was a “spaceship” in their pasture, near the calf pen. When Nita
looked she saw an oval object, the outline of which was blurred by
very bright flashing red lights. The oval was surmounted by a sort of
tower, on top of which was an even more intense red light. At either
ends of the object were antennae which seemed to gather and project
the red light in a pulsating motion. The light on its west end was
huge and maroon. Nita drove into the yard and called her husband.
When he came outside and neared the fence, the object made a
whooshing sound and took off faster than the eye could follow. It
settled down again in the distance, behind some trees. An oval area
of depressed grass was found, with white ash. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Racing
driver and sports journalist Claude Vorilhon was driving in the
countryside outside Clemont when he felt an impulse to visit the
Auvergne Volcanoes park. He walked up to the Pui de Lassola crater.
Here he saw a flashing red light through the fog, which he first
thought was a helicopter, and when he heard no sound, thought might
be a balloon. He then saw the thing, which was at about 20m altitude
was a flattened bell shaped object, which was slowly descending. The
red light was on the underside and on the top was a bright white
light. The object descended to within 1m from the ground and an
openig appeared, through which a small being about 1.35m tall, with
almond shaped eyes, long black hair and short black beard, emerged.
The being was dressed in a green one piece suit and a peculiar halo
surrounded its face. The two held a conversation in French, which set
Claude on the road to creating a new religion. </span><br />

the second bridge over the Braden River his car lights illuminated an
object hovering 6-8m above the river. The thing appeared to be 6-7.5m
diameter and about 3,5m thick, with a sort of projection going down
into the water. Patrick returned to his car and took several
photographs with a flash and illumination from his car headlights.
After 4-5 minutes the projection withdrew and the object moved
towards Patrick, making loud clanking noises. As it did so, it
changed to a pale green blue around the undersides. The object came
within 5m and Patrick retreated to 15m from the thing. The object
then passed less than 3m over his car and dropped several objects,
some into the water. The object became red orange and progressed into
the infra-red as it accelerated away. Two “metallic rocks” were
recovered from the site. Other witnesses reported a bright light in
the area. </span><br />

Vietnam war veterans, Lance Mathias (23), by then a biology student
and Mike Anderson (29) by then a computer programmer, were driving in
a Chevrolet van along Hw 101 in open country. They spotted an amber
sphere, from the underside of which protruded a black conical
appendage. This projected a red beam that hit the ground, throwing up
dirt and earth. The object was hovering about 1.5km away at about
250m altitude. The cone was then drawn up into the sphere and became
surrounded by a cloud of vapour. The sphere then took off at 60
degrees at terrific speed. Where the beam had hit the ground, was a
glowing oval area 7.5m long, 3m wide, the perimeter of which was
glowing red, then yellow. The centre was not glowing at all. After
about 15 minutes the glow faded and the men were swallowed up in the
darkness. At this point Lance and Mike were about 10m apart when
Lance shone his beam on two cylindrical shapes, about 6m high, with
crankily aluminium skins and almost humanoid shapes, who appeared to
be waving their arms below waist level and appeared to have a
luminosity where eyes should be. They were about 15m away. Lance
yelled and dropped to one knee, at which Mike caught a glimpse of
them. When he shone the flashlight in that direction again the
objects had gone. Soil samples were taken from the site.</span><br />

V. M. (28) got up to go to the outside toilet in the dark, using a
torch so as not to wake his wife. When he reached the kitchen he
heard a sound like a shovel hitting the ground and saw a greenish
light through a gap in the curtains. Looking through the widow, he
saw at the other end of the garden a little being, 1.1m tall, wearing
a one piece suit that emitted a green luminosity, whose back was
toward him, in three quarters profile. The being was of medium build
with head, arms and legs of normal appearance. The suit appeared to
be made of a bright sparkling polyester, and he wore a transparent
globular helmet, from the rear of which a tube led down to a pack on
his back, stretching from the waist to the shoulder blades. The suit
appeared to have no stitching, buttons, pockets, nor fasteners. The
being wore a belt and a small bright red box on its abdomen (belt
3-4cm wide, box 8cm long, 3-4cm wide) that emitted a constant red
light. The dwarf’s trousers were baggy towards the bottom and were
thrust into small close fitting boots, which resembled the rest of
the uniform, its hands covered by gloves. It was surrounded by a
luminous halo from head to foot that partially illuminated the
surroundings. The entity made no sound and the witness could not see
any signs of respiration. It was holding a devise which resembled a
vacuum cleaner or mine detector, which was passing over a heap of
bricks that M had gathered at the end of the garden. This instrument
had a box and a long handle. The small being appeared to have
difficulty in getting about, moving slowly with a waddle and bending
its knees slightly, as if unused to the weight. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At
this point M flashed his torch at the being, whereupon it turned
around, turning the whole body, as if its neck was stiff. M was
unable to see any nose or mouth, but could see pointed ears and very
large, bright, oval eyes, yellow in colour, surrounded by a green
rim. When the being closed its eyelids, it seemed to darken its face,
and it seemed to answer the flashes with flashes from its box, and
gave the witness a V sign with its index and second fingers. It then
turned around again and headed for the back wall, which it proceed to
walk up in the same stiff manner. Reaching the top of the 5m wall, it
walked down the other side in the same way. Four minutes or so later
a vivid halo of white light appeared beyond the wall and M heard a
sound like a faint chirping. Then a round object appeared, a few
metres beyond the wall. This object, 5m in diameter, phosphorescent
orange in colour and surmounted by a cupola emitting a green light,
hovered just above the wall for four minutes, The lower part of the
object was claret coloured and on it were three lights, blue, yellow
and red in line, which two or three times in sequence. On the
periphery of the machine was what looked like a shower of sparks
being thrown out from the rim. Beneath the transparent dome, M could
see the entity, bathed in blue-green light. On the hull of the craft,
below the dome, M could make out an emblem, a black circle
transverced by a diagonal lightning flash. The object now rose 20m,
began to rock to and fro, the sparks still coming from it, while the
chirping got louder, becoming a hiss as the object accelerated into
the sky, leaving a trail of sparks. He felt quite calm during all of
this, and afterwards prepared himself a light snack and went back to
bed. He woke neither his wife, nor his cousin staying with them. No
traces were found and there were no other witnesses. </span><br />

the wind. Ojeda then got back into the car in order to drive
underneath the objects, which then, however, accelerated suddenly
away, moving several kilometres in a few seconds. He got the

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">MR
Jean Lifooghe, a grocer, was driving between La Basse and Lens on the
way to market at Haisnes, along National Highway 347, when he saw,
100m to his right, two headlights stationary on the ground. Jena
drove on but suddenly the lights moved towards him and then turned
away abruptly. Jean though it was a vehicle which had overtaken him
but when he had gone another 200m and turned a corner he saw a huge
glow in a field. At a distance, various said to be 100-400m away,
stood a huge vertical cylindrical object, like a rocket, 30-50m tall.
When Jean began to walk towards the thing it began to rock from side
to side and increase in luminosity, changing from orange-red to a
blinding white before taking off in to the sky at terrific speed.
Jean the continued on his journey. On his way back he examined the
site in the field. There he found a group of small footprints, the
size of those of a 10 year old boy converging on a fresh basin shaped
depression in the ground. At this spot gendarmes found three small
holes, which made an isosceles triangle with bases 8.8m and sides
4.7m, these holes were 10cm diameter but could not find the
footprints. Jean also claimed that a UFO group had found ionisation
at the site. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Mike Shea was driving from the University of Baltimore to Olney when, 25km outside Baltimore he saw a beam of light strike a barn about 50m away. The beam came from a large aerial object with a row of alternating red and yellow lights, which was making no sound. The thing then moved over his car, at which he felt electric shocks up his spine. He then found himself just outside Olney feeling quite relaxed. When he reached the bar where he was going to meet a friend, he found that it was now 2100hrs. not 1900hrs. Under hypnotic regression Mike recalled four creatures by the side of the road. They were black and wore black suits, and helmets with a central line, they had four long arms and bowed legs, and reminded Mike of grasshoppers. Three of the beings were large; the fourth, smaller one was dressed in a black, silky suit with a frontal zipper. There were now two objects, one in the sky and a smaller one on the road. Mike was taken on board and given a medical examination. </span></div>

This voice made an appointment to meet him in a wood near the town a week later. When he went to the rendezvous there was a vivid light that petrified him, and a circular machine 3-4.5m diameter landed. A small door opened in the front, and a ramp, like a portable ladder, came down. From the machine emerged three people of normal height, wearing what looked like asbestos suits with antennae on this helmets. The beings promised to come back and cure his dangerously ill daughter but never did so. </span></div>

The thing then took off and past her car and then returned, pacing them for 24km. The thing was disc shaped with windows, under which were thin strips of red light, and a sort of rotating searchlight coming from its underside. One of the people in the car, an army officer, saw figures through the windows. As they came close to the turnoff to a naval base, the thing shot up into the sky, arced around Nowra and was lost to sight out to sea. Later that evening, at the campsite at Shoalhaven Heads, they saw numerous helicopters apparent circling over a fiery mass in the sea. When they reported the matter to the naval base, they were told there had been numerous witnesses and that the thing had affected the base radar. The army officer was interviewed by Intelligence officials. The navy denied all knowledge of this when questioned by investigators. </span></div>

Through his window he saw a red and gold squarish object, about 30cm tall and 10-12cm diameter, come towards the ground, tilting slightly and emitting a sort of yellow flame. It kicked up snow and landed. Billy grabbed his camera and ran outside, taking a photograph at 15m range, before the thing took off, scattering snow again. It rose to 15m, emitted an explosive sound and took off at terrific speed. There was a hole 750mm diameter in the snow, filled with an unpleasant smelling greenish liquid and black particles were found scattered around the surrounding snow. The photograph(s) were not developed when the story was reported. </span></div>

Thinking there had been a wreck, he slowed down. However when he got closer to the scene, he saw that the lights came from a domed object in the middle of the road, surrounded by about 12 men. The object had a rounded underside like a plate, The topside angled toward a large dome. The whole structure was an estimated 4.5m diameter, and was 4.5m high. Multicoloured lights were flashing, in no particular order, in a band around the base of the dome. The object was supported by three landing legs, and steps appeared to be coming from it. It appeared to be constructed out of a material like fibre glass and glowed dark yellow, like a light bulb. Surrounding the object were about 12 normal looking Caucasian men, with jet black hair, dressed in white coveralls, on which were buttons, buckles and belts, and white gloves. The men just stood around the object, though those facing in the opposite direction turned around to face the witness. Their outlines appeared to waver, as if in a heat haze. Frightened, Littleton turned around onto a secondary road and drove rapidly away No traces were found at the site </span></div>

The thing had red and green lights at either end and its top appeared to glow. The couple could see several beams of light extending up to 30m from its top. The object was about 7m long by 3m high. The Wilkes saw neither the arrival nor the departure of the object. At the site semi-circular imprints about 9m across were found and plaster casts were made of them. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A group of 6 or 7 children were playing at Knight’s Grange Farm, including Robert L (11) and his sister, who had just finished their dinner when they observed an object twice the size of a double decker bus, 3m tall, with red, white and green lights. It was hovering over a pool known as Ocean Pool 400m away, behind some trees. The glowing semi-circle seemed go below the level of the trees. The children went back to the L home and called the police and then returned to the site, where they saw a glow under the water. A senior police officer arrived on the scene from Winsford but his car engine and radio appeared to malfunction. The boys apparently phoned the police again when they saw this car’s lights go out. A patrol car from Northwich arrived on the scene and a constable saw the light, which then went out. This police car also suffered engine problems. The little girl was afraid to approach the pond afterwards. Investigations were inconclusive and reports of a mysterious lack of micro-organisms in tow concentric rings 15m and 13m diameter near the site and something vaguely odd about the pond were never substantiated. </span><br />

While she was watching this, the witnesses developed a headache, something unusual for her. Then again a strange object, the size of an aircraft, passed over at less than 6m altitude. All that could be seen of the thing was a central red light and white lights on the sides. During this time she was unable to hear the car radio. </span><br />

Through his window he saw what looked like smoke drifting towards the Convento da Fenha, 150m away. Mrs De Souza phoned a neighbour, who ran to help. Samuel and this neighbour inspected the garden but found that the object had gone. The radio antennae had been severed as if by scissors. </span><br />

At his point they were overtaken by Max Inglis, who, about 400m further on, a rectangular orange glow in a clearing on the right hand side of the road. Thinking it was an accident, he slowed down, but then felt there was something odd, so waited to see what the car behind, driven by Brian and Sharyn would do. When Brian passed the spot he saw what seemed like a red flare, and looked back to see a rectangular shape of orange-red light, 3 m high, 1.5 m wide. In it was a sharply defined figure like a normal human figure, dressed in white all over “like a white space suit” apparently motionless some 60-90 cm above the ground, and arms and legs pointing down. Brian accelerated away and pointed to Sharyn to look. She saw an orange rectangle with a white spot on top. She looked away for s moment, and when she looked back the orange glow appeared to spread right across the road. When she looked back again, they had gone over a small rise, and nothing could be seen. When he had seen the car behind him accelerate away, Inglis also drove away at speed. About 10 minutes later truck driver Allan Degnor from Caduna passed the spot and saw what looked like a large caravan doorway with a figure in white in the middle. No structure corresponding with a caravan could be seen however Brian and Sharyn arrived at her house at 2230hrs., where her father saw that Brian was white faced and trembling, so much so that he was unable to hold a cigarette on his own. There was a police investigation but no traces were found. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Mrs Rouffignac was driving along the unnumbered road running across Cobham Common between the hamlets of Longcross and Burrowghill, in a south westerly direction when she saw, across the common to the east, a rectangular object with a sort of rudder at one end. It appeared to be about 10m above the ground and was surrounded by multi-coloured flashing lights. The object made no sound, and the witness was certain that it was not an aircraft. It was visible for 15 seconds as she approached the junction of the B383, onto which she turned north west. She then stopped to observe the thing but found it could not be seen. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The pilot and co-pilot of a DC8 charter cargo jet had just started a descent from 6,300m cruising at 815kph in the vicinity of McAlester when their attention was caught by another object 1. km away below the edge of their right wing. They thought it was another commercial flight until it rose up and closed on their plane to within 300m. In the moonlight they could see it was a silvery, polished, metallic oblong with rounded edges “like a flounder lying on its side” The body of the object contained two very short stubby fins that looked as though they could be folded into its body, and on which were steady amber lights on the leading edge, with another set of amber lights located above and below the body of the craft. In the top centre of the machine was a transparent unlighted dome in which two or three figures appeared to be moving about. From the top rear of the object were two vertical fins, one on either side of what looked like an exposed jet engine pod, which emitted no glow however. The underside was flat with no protrusions, landing gear nor hatches. The whole assemblage was 23=-26m long and 12m wide. When they switched their radar on the craft appeared as a blip on the edge of the scope, but almost the moment they switched the set on, the object rose straight up and crossed sideways to a position just above the plane, passed momentarily out of sight, then reappeared to the left, dropped behind and below, then sped past at twice their speed about 100m below them, performed several up and down motions, then sped out of sight to the right. It went off the radar scope at a distance of 80km. The whole observation lasted 18 minutes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">John Spencer of Baddesley Ensor, married man with a family, was driving to his work at the Dunlop factory in Birmingham, when just after passing Dordon on the A5, his attention was caught by a strange object in the sky over to the right. The normally busy road was deserted and he was afraid that the object was going to crash on the road ahead. He slowed down to 35kph as the object passed over Birchmoor, 800m of open fields and then over the road 200m ahead, between John and Kinsall Green Garage. John did not stop, though he opened the window but could hear no sound. The object was oval, at least 45m diameter, was a vivid orange colour and was ejecting a cone shaped flame from the centre of its lower part. This flame appeared in the form of a single jet and did not appear until some three or four metres below the object, and was about 2.5-3m long. The inner section of the flame appeared to be white, while the outer edges were pinkish yellow. There appeared to be no markings or openings on the oval object, which gave the impression of being driven forward. This object appeared to be descending at first and then levelling out as it moved away at a speed in excess of 160kph at treetop height. John was unnerved by the incident. </span><br />

When John stepped outside he saw that the thing was hovering just above the garden, 14-15m away. He rushed back inside and called his sister, who also saw it. When viewed from nearly underneath the object presented the appearance if a disc about 10m diameter, with the lights situated near the outer edge, but as it moved off and was viewed in profile, it appeared to be a cigar shape, with a hemispherical dome on top and a smaller dome underneath. The thing finally disappeared to a spot of light, like the fading of pictures in old fashioned TV sets. There may have been two other, independent, witnesses. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A woman looking for her dog in a rural area outside Berryville saw what she thought was a silver coloured helicopter on the ground in a neighbouring golf course. As she reached a clearing she encountered a group of human-like figures dressed in white coats, and two humanoids, gathered around a horse which appeared to be in pain. The beings spotted the woman, who fled from the scene back to the golf course, where the strange machine had now left. She was struck by something which burned her and made her ill. </span><br />

As they came closer their headlights revealed a peculiar creature. It was off white, of general human appearance, with a strange shape like a woman’s bustle projecting from its hind quarters. It had the form of a face, with an impression of long hair, and a pointed chin, but no other facial features could be observed. As they drove past, the figure turned slowly, following the direction of the car and raised its right arm as if to make a halting sign. They sped on but stopped some distance along and wondered whether to go back, but thought better of it. </span><br />

She tried to continue her journey but the car became filled with a brilliant light, the car headlights and engine failed and she felt shooting pains through her body. She parked on the hard shoulder and saw pale pink dome shaped object in a field about 60m away. Two small humanoid creatures were moving towards her. She tried to leave the car but her legs became unresponsive. She was next aware of being in the passenger seat of the car as dawn was breaking. She had dreams of being taken on board the strange object and being laid out on a table and given a medical examination that included a metallic tube being inserted into her vagina, and a similar but smaller devise into her right nostril. She also had dreams of apocalyptic destruction. About three weeks after this experience she encountered a strange man who came to her door and asked questions about her security. She also had visits from military looking people who talked about aliens kidnapping people and planning to start nuclear war. </span><br />

It was observed glowing through the trees for four minutes before dimmed out, having apparently landed in a gravel pit to the west of their home. While visible, the light hurt their eyes. According to some report it stayed on their property for hours. No traces were found at the site. </span><br />

During this manoeuvre, the party tried to accelerate to catch up with the thing, but it shot away so fast that it gave the impression of disappearing on the spot. </span><br />

The thing was rectangular with four pointed protusio0ns at the front. Pedalling frantically and now bathed in blue light, the cyclist turned again to see that this object was now nearly overhead. The thing then climbed upwards at a steep angle, revealing a row of eight red cupolas on its rear, and vanished like a light being turned off.

At one point the object lit up so brilliantly that Clyde feared it would explode. The witnesses, now very agitated, called the police. Just before the police arrived a dairy truck left a nearby farm and as it passed the object dimmed out. No trace of the object’s presence could be found in the field.

One of the dropped into the sea, submerged, then rose again. The second one then also fell into the sea, stayed put for a while, then moved nearer the first one. Mr Silva had gone down to the beach, while his wife watched from the balcony. he saw that one of the capsules had fallen only a few metres from the shore, and through a window in it, he saw the head of a being which appeared to be the size of a 5 year old child. It was wearing a sort of helmet which resembled a large gourd. He only saw the head and torso of this being. He fled inside. After about 15 minutes Mrs S saw the objects take off into the sky at terrific speed, at which the temperature in the house returned to normal and they were able to sleep.

It went over trees to the west, emitting a burning odour, moving towards a nearby cemetery. When the children followed it, the thing turned back towards the school before rising up at an angle. </span><br />

It was circular, with a central band and surmounted by a dome with portholes. Later a triangle of three holes, 15cm deep, 60-90cm diameter was found at the site. Trees were found split and bark stripped off, and it appeared that ground vegetation was burned. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Antonio Perez Cumbre (19) of the “Los Parras” farm was driving north to Guadalcanal on Hw 432 when he saw a row of four round yellow lights next to the road, just beyond the next curve, on the other side of the ravine ahead. They were at the 11 o clock position and 300m away in a straight line. The two on the left were about 1m across, those on the left, 50cm and they brightened periodically giving Antonio the impression they were approaching. They always kept to the same formation, making Antonio think they were on some sort of object, hidden in the darkness. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Antonio stopped and signalled with his headlights, following which one of the larger lights generated a diametrical, violet coloured stripe. Antonio turned his Seat 600 round in an attempt to flee, but had travelled just a few metres when he was surprised to see the lights going by on his left. At this part his car engine failed and the lights passed by in silence, going southwards. He could now start his car again.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Antonio soon encountered the lights again, this time hovering 10m above a straight stretch of road. Antonio did not stop but drove right under these lights. Soon after this he encountered them again for a fourth time, just 1m above the pavement. As he approached Antonio noticed that his headlights seemed to be absorbed by these lights, but when he got 25m beyond them, they rapidly moved horizontally to the valley on the left (the east-north-east) and were lost in the night. A couple of days later two yellow burn marks were found on the ground where they had been first seen. They were 9m apart, which was roughly the distance between the two sets of lights. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">On the night of the day these marks were found (24</span><sup style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">th</sup><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> April) at 2200hrs., Antonio again returned to the site, with his father, a brother-in-law and a friend. Looking east from a point just south of the previous experience, they saw, on the mountainside, 200m away, something rather round, with a ring of about eight small lights, alternately red and yellow, which were alternating bo0th colour and intensity, like a luminous roulette wheel. The lights suddenly became brighter and two small balls shot out from the ring and disintegrated in the air before reaching the neighbouring mountain to the south. </span><br />

He appeared to hit it on at least one occasion, as it hissed, leaped about 25m in two jumps and disappeared down the nearby railway track. 30 minutes earlier it on 10 year old Greg Garrett’s feet. It left 6 toed pads, two of which were 10cm around, the third 8.25cm. On May 6th Henry was awakened at about 0300 by the barking of his dogs and saw the strange tripod creature on the railway tracks 25m away. Tracks were found around the area, resembling little hoof marks 7.5-12.5cm across, from which plaster casts were made. </span><br />

The couple found it difficult to get back to sleep and Derek got up to make coffee.

When the bus pulled into a layby to let a car pass, she looked out on an expanse of peat and saw a tiny figure, about 45cm tall, of a young man, with his foot on a spade, as if frozen in the act of digging. He had a thin face with light brown curly hair and was dressed in an intensely blue bib and braces and a very white shirt with rolled up sleeves; by his side was something like a sack. The observation lasted only about 4 seconds, before the bus turned off. By the time Mary turned around the figure had vanished. </span><br />

When first seen it was a bright yellow colour, broken by a lime green colour around its head. After they had driven another 180m, Sue noticed a glow in a paddock about 1.5km to the east. Alan turned around and drove towards this spot. When they reached it, their headlights seemed to black out momentarily. They then saw, on open ground in front of a straight line of trees, a reddish orange helmet shaped object, about 1m above the ground, continually changing colour. The top part changed from red to orange to yellow, while the underside stayed on constant yellow. The light was too bright to look at for any length of time and after 5 minutes they became afraid and headed for home. As they did so they saw a sphere circling the area at high altitude. </span><br />

Under hypnotic regression in 1980 she recalled both standing by the car and being inside an object in which strange short, spindly beings, with large heads, vestigial noses and mouths and eyes that had vertical pupils and yellow irises. They were mutilating a cow, which they had beamed on board in a yellow beam that seemed filled with streams of particles. The beings said that they were monitoring toxins. Judy was alarmed to see her daughter being examined by the beings, but they reassured her that the girl would not be harmed and that they had not intended to bring her, Judy, into their craft. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">M. T. Driver, L/Cpl Mike Perrin and his friend Trooper Carvell were in a regular radio exercise on the MoD property on Bellerby Moor. They were sat in a land rover when their two radios developed interference and then went dead, and the headlights failed. They were unable to locate the fault. Mike was about to start the Land Rover when he noticed as strange aircraft approaching them; coming in from 800m and then hovering 3m above ground, 100m away. The object was shaped like a rugby ball, with a row of small circular windows around its middle section, through which flashed white lights. A sort of vapour was coming from its lower portion, and it emitted a slight buzzing sound. The thing appeared to have a sort of hump on its top. The pair noticed that a herd a cows beyond the object were stood rooted to the spot, staring at it. After about 5-10 minutes the object took off silently and headed away over the woods. Then the vehicle’s headlights and radios came back on. When the pair reported the incident at the end of the exercise they were not believed. They later searched the area and found a burnt section of grass 9m across. </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Fay Y (7) and a little boy of about the same age were playing near Lake Common when they heard a sound like the wail of an ambulance siren. This led them across the golf course and through a hedge to a swampy meadow adjacent to the little used airfield, where the noise stopped. As they were crossing a little wooden footbridge across a brook, a blue gloved hand appeared from under the bridge and a strange figure emerged. The being dropped a book into the water then fumbled about trying to retrieve it. He then progressed with a strange hopping motion, knees held high, towards a metallic hut like the ones seen on building sites, except that it had no windows. The children wandered off, but then the figure then reappeared carrying a microphone with black knobs and a white flex. The wailing noise reappeared so loud that the little boy began to run away. The wailing noise then ceased and the being addressed them through the microphone, his reassuring voice booming out over the entire area. Going closer then saw that he was about 2.1m tall, his head appeared wedged straight onto his shoulders. He wore a yellow pointed hat which was fastened to the red collar of a green tunic. On top of his hat was fixed a round, black knob with wooden antennae on either side. His face had triangular markings for eyes, a brown square for a nose, motionless yellow lips and very white cheeks with round markings on them, and a fringe of yellow hair was visible. His limbs appeared to be wooden slats. Onto a notebook he wrote “Hello, and I am all colours, Sam”, which Fay read word for word as he pointed them out, for they were written in an unconventional sequence. Venturing closer, they discovered that he could speak without the aid of the microphone, though his lips did not move and his speech was unclear. The children conversed with him, both sides asking questions. His clothes were all torn and he explained that they were the only suite he had. When they asked if he was a man, he chuckled and said No; when they asked if he was a ghost, he replied “Not really, but I am in an odd sort of way”, but then asked what he was, he just replied “You know”. He said he had no name, but there were others like him, and that he was afraid of people. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">They all crawled through a flap into his hut, which had two layers. The first had a high ceiling, with blue green walls covered in a pattern of dials, an electric heater and sparse wooden furniture. Upstairs was less spacious and had a metallic floor. The being revealed that he ate berries that he collected from a camp on the mainland in the late afternoon, and drank water from a nearby stream. Inside the hut, the being took off his cap to reveal sparse brown hair and round white ears. He had only three fingers on each gloved hand and three toes on his bare white feet. Before eating a berry he popped into one of his ears, upon which it emerged from one of his eyes, he then popped it into his eye, whence it reappeared in his mouth. After 30 minutes the children left the being and ran to tell the nearest adult that they had seen a ghost. While they were talking to this being, two workmen nearby appeared oblivious to the whole scene. Fay’s father had had previous ufo experiences on the island. </span></div>

The being closest to her had a large elongated head, grey skin, long arms that reached down below the knees and terminating in claws, short legs and bald head. One of the beings seemed to see the witness, and the beings re-ascended the steps into the disc, which took off slowly, the legs retracting under it, and disturbing the leaves. </span><br />

It flew towards the Pike and hovered close by the tower at a height of 30m. It remained stationary there for about 30 seconds. The couple could see that it was a dome with a dull metallic surface, with suggestions of holes on the top and bottom, and vertical shafts. It appeared to spin both clockwise and anticlockwise, so that a brilliant beam, like that of a lighthouse, oscillated back and forth around the left hand edge. This beam came from a window, either side of which were ones with a red light and a green light. The object appeared to be about 4.5m high. It circled away, rotating clockwise and it appeared to be about to land. Miss Shaw got up to follow it, but saw it spiralling away to the west-southwest at about 65kph. She did not notice any sound. </span></span><br />

It was humanoid and dressed in a silvery suit with thick boots. Sam could not be sure if the silvery colour was a suit or the creature’s skin. It lacked hair and ears, had a “Dutch” nose, narrow mouth and small pointed chin. Its arms were rigidly down by its side. Sam noticed these features when the thing turned to look at him.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Onilson Patero (41), a married man with two daughters, who was the organiser of the Public Libraries in the townships of the state, was driving back to Catanduva, after taking a hitch hiker to Itajobi. At km7 he noticed that the car radio was fading and its engine was misfiring. He slowed into 2<sup>nd</sup> gear and at this point a bright blue, luminous circle, about 20 cm diameters, appeared in the car and began moving back and forth. As it passed across the instrument panel, Patero got the impression that he could see right through the panel into his car engine. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">His attention was then drawn to the upper curve of the road where there was a line of the same luminous blue as the circle, which line was getting brighter, the focal point seemingly directed at him. Thinking it was a truck with a powerful headlight; Patero stopped and signalled to it, but got no reply. Patero hid his head for a minute and then looked up to see what he first thought was a helicopter but then realised was an object like one soup plate inverted over the other. The thing was 10m wide, 7m thick and was hovering 10m above the road, 15m away. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Everywhere was brilliantly lit and there was stifling heat, lack of air and a buzzing sound, yet the object itself was dark. A sort of transparent curtain came from eh right hand side of this object and circled it, bit by bit. When it had done son completely, the heat and lack of air vanished. At the same time a tube came down from the bottom the thing and descended to within 2m of the ground, at which Patero jumped out of the car and began to run towards the woods.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">After he had gone about 30-40m, a sort of pull restrained him and, looking back, he saw a tube of light come from the underside of the strange object and hit his car, which became transparent. Patero then passed out. About an hour later, two young men driving past saw the abandoned car and Patero lying beside it. Fearing a murder they reported the matter to the police. When they returned to the scene with a patrolman they found the car open, and Patero’s papers ransacked. When they moved him, Patero came to and began to fight them as though they were assailants. The patrolman, who knew Patero, managed to calm him down and they took him to hospital, where the doctors found nothing much wring with him and gave him a sedative and took him home. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">From that afternoon Patero began to develop a rash that started in the abdomen and lumbar region, taking the form of blue, changing to yellow, bruises, which spread. A further medical examination revealed no further disturbances. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Under hypnosis he was able to remember some of the things that had happened while he was unconscious. His brown hair turned black after this incident but soon returned to its normal colour. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Truck driver Miguel Angel Gonzalez was taking a load of asbestos, steel plating and concrete slabs from Tinjas to Tierra Blanca, when near Cintalapa he was forced to stop by an engine defect. When he got out of his cab, five dwarfs, 60cm tall, well proportioned, with light brown complexion and dark hair, suddenly materialised in the road, barring the way. He went to shoe them out of the way and they ran into the thicket by the side of the road before he could get a better look at them. When he returned to his truck he found that it was burning, despite its non-combustible load. It was reduced to a fused mass and gave the appearance of having been struck by some sort of aerial heat blast. </span><br />

A short distance from Joaquim Egidio they saw the globe in the sky 500m away. The two girls became very frightened and insisted that Gilmar drove them home. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As he reversed the car the fiery globe headed straight for them and hovered about 50m in front of them. They could now see that it was an ellipse about the size of a small car, emitting concentric rings of yellow fire. His car engine had failed and he tried to start it for about 10 minutes during which he experienced an intense tingling in his skin and a severe headache, though the thing apparently only hovered in front of the car for a few seconds. Gilmar became so nervous that he stayed at the home of a sister in Soussas (where he his work and school was) rather than make the journey home. Numerous other people had seen similar globes in the area. </span><br />

It moved in a pendulum motion, making a sound like a bull-roarer. It then disappeared behind the mountain illuminating a tree as it did so. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Chalker 1996 p147.</span></div>

When the women yelled out the figure turned to look at her. At the same time a second, similar object approached and suddenly disappeared. When she looked back the first object had also disappeared. She then fell asleep and woke up in a different position some 4 or 5 hours later. Under hypnotic regression she recalled, rather vaguely, being floated up to some dark enclosed place where something uncomfortable was placed on her head and beings were heard talking.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">James G Richards (41), an animal care technician, his wife Shirley, daughter Vanea (16) and son Jamie (3) were in their mobile home in a wooded area at the end of a lane 800m out of Columbia. Vanea was putting a baby bottle in the fridge when she heard a loud thrashing noise coming through the open window above the sound of the record player in the next room. The outside noise appeared to be moving around a large tree and so frightened her that she called to her father. As James went to the window, Vanea closed all the doors. Looking out James saw two beams of light between the fence and the trees and about 15m from the window. They were 1.2m wide at the top, tapering to 60cm at the bottom, were bright, silvery white in colour and about 1.5m apart. Nothing solid could be seen behind them. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">These beams suddenly faded out and James and Vanea now saw a bright oval 3.5-4.5m diameter at ground level. It gave off a brilliant silvery light and its edges were fuzzy. It lit up the surrounding trees as bright as day. No other sound than the thrashing of the trees and the grass could be heard. The trees appeared to be moving back and forth as if in a strong wind and one tree appeared to be being pulled towards the ground. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As they watched the thrashing sound ceased and then shortly afterwards there was a loud crack and the tugging motion on this tree stopped. The area was now very quiet and James moved from window to window. As he did so he noticed that his dogs, which normally barked at any light or noise, were lying very still between the trailer and a shed. At this point James loaded up his guns and began to consider calling for help. Just then the terrific light began moving away towards the north, passing below tree limbs through an open area 6m wide. It moved parallel to the ground until it reached the edge of the field, where it raised itself slightly and hovered 60m from the house.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Its light had now dimmed and they could see that it had a silvery white centre, with a blue band, and an orange glow extending around the outer edge. Then the object, still below the line of the trees moved 10 degrees to the west and then back to its original position. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">James now tried to call for help. As he talked the lights dimmed twice and having been told that the exchange operator would ring him, hung up. When the exchange operator tried to ring there was no reply and no ring as though the line was dead. James worried as to why no one was calling him back also found the line dead. It came back to life on the operator’s fifth attempt. The family contacted the Federal Aviation Authority and all seemed impressed by James’ sobriety and genuine fear. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When the object returned to its original position James felt his time was up and was almost speechless with fear. After an indeterminate time the light moved away through the trees again towards the field and then returned to its 60m distance location, where it got smaller though it did not seem to be moving away. Eventually at 0145hrs. the police arrived, but they did not seem impressed. When investigators arrived on the scene they found a tree broken 4.8 above the ground, dead leaves, numerous imprints on the ground, mostly 12-15 cm wide and 9cm deep. It appears that Shirley was away at the time. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">University student Mr. M K (20) was working late on his vacation job as a night watchman at a lumber yard. After making a round, he was sat relaxing and smoking in his car when he saw what looked like a shooting star. It then flashed on and off in the same spot, then began to expand making a series of extremely small and rapid expansions and contractions until it reached the apparent size of a basketball. It then began tom dark to and fro over an area of 1m, emitting green flashes, then descend with a spiral motion till it was just above the top of a distant cement factory. It then descended over the bay in an arc, stopping 20m above the water. From the underside of the light there descended a transparent tube, which, when its top touched the surface, began to glow and appeared to be sucking up water. At the same time he heard a sound like that of a cricket. The terrified youth hid his head for a few minutes/ When he looked up the light was still hovering. It then began to approach him at 50m altitude. As it approached it seemed less bright, and he could that it was a smooth white sphere. Around the centre was a row of small windows. In the central window there was a single figure, and in another, two windows to the right were two figures. These figures looked too small and deformed to be human. K then put his head against the steering wheel and felt himself silently groan. He felt himself bound head and foot. He managed to look up again and saw three or four similar objects. With them was a huge dark silhouette like three gasoline drums connected lengthways. The object with the widows approached this spectacle and then all the spheres were sucked into this larger object, which moved off to the north at terrific speed. K then realised that his body was numb like it was after yoga practice and his radio was emitting meaningless noises. The incident lasted 10-12 minutes. </span><br />

This was joined by a smaller (1.2m) male creature, and then by two females of similar sizes to the two males. When they saw the hikers, the creatures went into the bush, only for the two males to re-emerged and scream at them, the larger one waving a branch and running towards them, The two men then fled. </span><br />

He went out and walked to the jetty, where he saw a blue light above the lake. The light approached him. stopping above the shallow water, where he saw it was a gelatinous object, twice the size of a rowing boat. He though he saw a strange being inside the light. The next thing he remembered was waking up on his cottage porch at 0600. He was very sleepy and went back to bed, waking at noon. </span><br />

Its bark seemed unusual, as of the animal was afraid of something . The couple went to the front door to see what was the matter, their normally brave dog staying in the porch area. Terry could not see anything so went back to bed, but Linda saw a light and called him down again. Terry saw a sort of egg shaped object, the size of a small car, hovering 5m above the ground in a clearing behind a tree. The thing had a peculiar orange colour, which Terry found impossible to describe exactly, and it seemed as though he could look into his brighter interior, but also gave the impression of being transparent. When Linda turned the house lights on, the thing seemed to flicker like a car headlight as a car moves off. It moved off at no more than 8kph. It rose only slightly and seemed to pursue a dead straight course through the trees. As it moved away the neighbour’s dogs and some cattle on a hill kicked up a fuss. The object was observed for 10 minutes and it took 20 seconds to depart to the west. The FAA were called but showed no interest. </span><br />

He was unable to move, felt a sensation of intense cold and his eyes began to water, making him fear that he was dying. At that moment he saw an extremely bright shining object “as bright as the sun”, which rose out of the scrub and shot overhead, spinning rapidly. Though he was unable to turn his head, Yves nevertheless “saw” in some incomprehensible fashion, as though threw the back of his head, the object pass over his car and continue on its way behind him. When the object had passed , the car lights and radio came on of their own accord and the car began to move forward. When he arrived at his parents’ place 30 minutes later, Yves was still in a very shaken condition. The driver of the Citroen then arrived on the scene and confirmed that he too had seen the object from his position 300m behind but had not experienced any odd effects. </span><br />

A woman then entered and the entities began walking around, talking, and touching him on the forehead and sides. He was almost paralysed.

She observed this for about one hour, thinking it was a comet, then mentioned it to her husband. It now appeared to have descended into a field, and as they drove by about 30m away, they saw it was hovering without support. A beam flashed from it and a partition moved back, revealing three portholes, which emitted a glaring yellow light. The object itself was round, the size of a bungalow and blue white. The object then moved above the car, and as it did so, the academic saw three humanoid figures outlined against the portholes, but his wife did not see this. The object disappeared in about 10 seconds. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A family driving back from the woman’s parents in Mt Carmel to avoid a storm were approaching Princeton when they saw lights low in the sky over a wooded area. When illuminated by lighting it appeared to be a cupola shaped object, surmounting an inverted cone. The thing was about 9-12m wide, about 10m above the trees, 150-200m away. The thing appeared to be made of burnished metal and gave the impression of being “old fashioned”, and emitted powerful beams of light. The observation lasted 2-5 minutes. </span><br />

A car drew up behind them, at which their car’s engine and radio died. The two women then saw, coming towards them from open ground on their left, two large beings dressed in one piece silver suits, walking in a mechanical fashion. When the beings reached the car, Christine felt paralysed, choking and then passed out. When she came to, the beings were walking away from the car. After they had gone from view a light cone spread across the trees. The car now worked. Christine at least experienced a time loss. </span><br />

One of them yelled sat it to stop, which it did. The thing then flew away. Two days later one of the party heard the same sound and on going out with his dog, saw the same or similar object at street level. He could now see that it was 8-10m diameter and only about 1m above the ground. He felt compelled to walk towards the thing, losing sensation. His dog barked and broke the spell. The object then moved slowly away, rose at an angle and then just disappeared. </span><br />

Jets of water shot in to the air and appeared to be mixed with a kind of vapour, the surrounding water appeared to be boiling. The jets of water rose to 10m above the surface. At first the object veered towards the shore of the Orinoco River, spinning constantly with a left to right motion. The thing then returned to the middle of the river, where it sank deeper beneath the surface. At no time did this thing come up to the surface, but the witnesses, including Tereso Marcano (41), a fisherman who tried to pursue it in his boat described it as being disc shaped. As Tereso closed in on the thing his boat engine lost power and almost stalled forcing him to give up. The disc moved off downstream. </span><br />

After remaining motionless for about two minutes, the thing spun round once and moved off towards Piltdown Lake, passing over Maresfield army camp. It was observed for about 15 minutes in all. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Subsequently the TV burnt out and Jenifer began to develop red weals on her scalp and right cheek, her hair began to fall out and ulcers appeared on her gums.

Arriving at the banks of the rivulet, they were astonished to see four small beings, no more than 20cm tall, standing beneath and slightly in front of a little stone footbridge, seemingly searching for something in the mud. They were dressed in white, with tiny grey caps on their heads and had humanoid features. As the boys walked on towards them, the little creatures disappeared as if by magic. When the boys got over their shock they went to the river bed and found a whole series of rather deep, round marks, which they attributed to the beings’ footprints. The beings were independently observed by a police officer, whose account was said to agree with that of the boys, but neither his name nor the details of his experience were released. </span></span><br />

It was not very distinct, but resembled a flying oil derrick, with four legs made of girders and bars. Lights covered these legs, about 10 in all, flashing on and off, blue, pink and green, but there were none on the cylinder. The legs appeared to gyrate. The object appeared to be 15m high and following a straight course. The thing was observed for 8 seconds.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Mrs Daryll Crandall and two of her children were driving back from a visit to her father at Lake City, when just south of Rockwell City; they saw an extremely intense light on a deserted farm. They were curious was to what it was and approached the spot, at which their car windows fogged up. When they rolled the windows down, they saw the light moving away to the North East in a curious floating motion. It appeared to descend slightly. Beneath the light, they could make out a silvery saucer shaped object. Flakes of white ash were later found on the car. </span><br />

Robert saw it as a blurry, round shouldered white thing that rather resembled a refrigerator that seemed to waver. His wife thought she saw an “unfriendly” face. After about a minute the object began to dissipate, disappearing within 10 seconds. The family had other strange experiences in the property. </span><br />

The cousin drew their attention to very flat, rectangular object, 5-6m long, travelling along above the water surface close in-shore, obscured by the darkness and mist. When the thing passed in front of them, they were able to discern four dimly lit square windows set horizontally beneath the object. As it passed over the sea, it made a splashing noise; going from Nieuw Port in the NE to Oostende in the SW. Mr M shone his torch on it, at which the lights in the portholes went out, only the red hull being visible. When the object reached a breakwater, it rose it up to cover it and then went down to sea level again. They still heard the splashing sound when the thing was over the breakwater. </span><br />

Thinking he was out of petrol, Chubert pushed it to the top of a rise where a dazzling light appeared on the road ahead. As Chubert approached, he saw it was a luminous ovoid object with smoke underneath, hovering just above the ground. A being suddenly appeared and put his left and came up to Chubert, putting its left arm on Chubert’s shoulder and offering “reassuring words”. This being was a humanoid, 2m tall, thin, wearing a suit made of a material that looked like aluminium. A large helmet rested on his shoulders, with a snorkel like tube on the right side. His face appeared to be covered by a nylon stocking and he had slit eyes. In his right hand the stranger carried a devise like a pistol, pointing to the ground. He asked Chubert where he was going, and when the latter said that he was going “to my job”, the being said that he must return to the craft, which he asked Chubert not to examine too closely. The being entered it from beneath and it rose vertically, with a sound like a swarm of bees and moved off horizontally. The motorcycle then started normally. The observation took place 100m from Hw 151 and lasted 10 minutes.</span></div>

At Little Houghton he noticed the time on the village clock and then saw what he thought were the headlights of an approaching car. Suddenly he was blinded by a single very bright white light straight in front of his windscreen. He remembered nothing more until, he came to his senses walking along Bromham Bridge, 3km from Bedford at 0700. His coat and feet were wet as though he had been walking through long grass. He felt strangely awake and refreshed, and went to a friend’s. He got the friend to drive him along the route, as he could not remember where he has left his car. This was found in a ploughed field off a road leading to Olney. It was carefully locked up and the keys were in A’s pocket. There were no marks on the car and no tracks in the field. He could remember nothing of the missing 5 hours and dismissed the whole incident from his mind until it came back to him after drinking too much art a party a year later. </span><br />

From the upper part of the object there appeared to be flashes of yellow sparks at 5 second intervals. Suddenly the disk descended, the frequency and brilliance of the flashes increasing as it did so. It took about 5 minutes to land, Leather then saw an orange coloured light coming from the blue haze close to the ground. He slowly became aware that it was a light held by a human shaped figure which was approaching him, at which he fled. Glancing back as he ran, he was surprised to see no trace of the being or the orange light, only the blue disk was still visible. When he reached the road, he looked back again, but this time the disk had gone also.</span><br />

These two interchanged in sequence. David moved from one side of this light to the other and then, as it reached its third sequence, he returned to the trailer to rouse the others, but by the time he succeeded the thing had gone.

Suddenly it came very close to his rear and now it looked like a van with a large curved windscreen, though which he indistinctly saw two humanoid figures with shoulder length hair. He heard a buzzing sound, which stopped with a flash. His rear window then seemed to fill with water, then what looked like eagles crossed the top of the window and he had the impression of flying through the air. He next found himself looking at the interior of an indirectly lighted room. into which three ordinary looking men wearing hospital face masks entered. This vision was replaced by one of a distant aerial view of an earth like planet with a moon between two mountains in the distance. This was followed by a vision of a huge dark, crossed shaped area in the centre of a water covered surface. Two humanoid figures emerged from the centre of this area, became luminous and moved towards him as if they were on a conveyer belt, steadily increasing in size. The dark eyes figures were dressed in tight fitting suits with a cloak and sash tied in front. As they came right up to the car, the minister became afraid and was able to take his eyes of the mirror. His radio and watch malfunctioned after the experience. </span><br />

As he continued to look he realised that it was a cylinder, 4m long, 2m diameter, standing less than 1m above the ground. The thing gave off a red, hazy glow and was sometimes vertical, sometimes horizontal. Its extremities were curved. After six or seven minutes it slowly took off in the direction of Bavia. The witness then woke his neighbour, Alexandre Bak (59) and they both saw disappear in the distance. At its closest it was 150m from Mr De Lathauwer. Traces and radioactivity were later found in the area. </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Miss Ringer (32 ) was a passenger in the cab of a semi-trailer, travelling between Adelaide and Perth. She had been asleep for about an hour, when, between the localities of Penong and Ivy Tanks, she was roused by a voice telling her to wake up and long through the window. Looking out, she saw a stationary object on the left hand side of the road. As the truck went past at 70-80kp, she saw that it was an egg shaped object on the ground, illuminating the surroundings. She could see a figure walking towards an opening in the egg, with another figure inside the object. The oval was set back 15 from the road, its bottom portion hidden by scrub. It was 5-6m long, 3m high with openings which resembled a door and a window and was illuminated by an interior light, which gave the impression that it was translucent, (she appeared to see the figure moving about inside other than through the door and window), One of the figures was visible through the window from the shoulders up, the second was walking in the light, apparently looking at something in its hand. . It walked inside through the door, stepped to the left and appeared to talk to the figure sitting down . This figure then reached, with one hand, to the back wall, then the glow died down to a single white light. .The beings were completely human in appearance, about 1.9m tall; the one seen full body was wearing a one piece lose fitting silver white garment, gathered at the wrists and ankles. The driver apparently did not see the object as he approached and was surprised when Ringer asked him to stop. There was now only a vague glow behind them as they drove on. They were about 400m past the spot when she asked him to stop. She described the voice that awoke her as male, warm and soft. Despite the detail in the description, the incident lasted only a few seconds. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Two military policemen, Bart J Burns and Randy Shade, were making a routine patrol of Hunter AFB when they noticed a cluster of lights in the sky at 600m, flashing red, orange, blue and white. The lights disappeared behind trees but returned at 0245hrs., hovering just above one end of the deserted runaway, flashing brilliantly. The lights then began to approach their patrol car and they could now see that they were on the underside of a metallic saucer shaped object about 15-25m diameter, which came towards the car so low that Bart and Randy were afraid there would be a collision. As they drove away at 160kph, they got the impression that the object was less than 1m above their car. Bart was so afraid of a collision that he crouched under the dashboard. After driving for about 1.5km they finally skidded off the road. The object hovered close by, about 200m, as they worked to free their car from the ditch, an exercise that took 15 minutes. The thing then rose to treetop height, followed them back to the base and then shot off and vanished. The object was soundless and during the incident they could not even hear the sound of the night wind. The object was also seen by a civilian, sports reporter Marcus Holland. </span><br />

He held an odd shaped silvery object with a red piece on the end, walked slowly, and spoke in a peculiar deep and mechanical way. The being called on them to go away, and later said he would be back. At least one witness got within 1m of the figure. There were many other witnesses including Peter Ballard.</span><br />

There was a sudden explosion and something fell onto their roof. They ran to the door and saw a fiery disc, with a smaller golden sphere, emitting sparks, under it. This thing lit up the area like day as it disappeared over trees 90m from the house. The corrugated iron roof of the double garage and store house next door had been lifted off and had landed on their roof. People from a nearby roadhouse, including a couple parked in a car, had seen what looked like a burning plane topple and fall and then take off again in the westerly direction from which it came. The fire brigade found a black patch on the roof. Later a peculiar shiny cylinder was found in a scorched patch of veldt. Another garage 2km away also had its roof blown off. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Joseph C was up studying while his wife and 19 year old son Wayne were watching TV. Going out for some air, Joseph noticed a sphere made up of small lights some 600m away. He went towards the thing, at which it split into seven 2-3m diameter luminous green spheres, which rapidly approached to within 30m of him at 15m altitude. Joseph seemed to receive telepathic messages from the things. At one point he called out his wife and son, but only the latter responded. The objects were now 45-60 away and about 10m above the ground. He tried to take a picture but the message came back saying they were fearful he was going to shoot. The objects seemed to inspect him, and Joseph got the idea they were duplicating him and copying areas of his brain in a greedy fashion, but also felt they were friendly. He got the idea they wanted him and his son to go with them but he declined and the things eventually left. Joseph later claimed to by psychic, to be in constant communications with the UFO occupants, and spent much his time investigating UFO reports, so much so his wife divorced him. </span><br />

Two of her dogs cringed close to her. The green sphere approached slowly to within a few metres at about 4m altitude. Her watch had stopped and she felt a tingling in her spine. At the sound of a distant jet plane, the green light went out, there was a whirring sound and the sphere rose up into the sky. As the light went out the dogs started to behave normally. </span><br />

They got out and watched the light, which brightened and dimmed. After a time it brightened again and headed towards a lane leading to a barn on the other side of the gate, and then moved back up the lane towards them, less than 30m above the ground. As the light approached they could see a vague disc shape. Bev thought the thing was going to crash into their barn, but it went behind it, emerging to the right, having changed direction, and then circled towards and around their house. 30-40m to the right of the barn, and then moved towards them, passing directly overhead. It repeated this performance twice more before rapidly leaving to the south-west. The whole incident lasted 15 minutes. The object was 6-9m diameter and emitted a creamy white glow from its interior, through 8 -10 windows around its circumference. There was a red glow coming from its top. The thing moved, slowly, steadily and gracefully, emitting a slight hissing sound. A neighbour living 2km to the east observed the object through binoculars </span><br />

As the thing moved silently the lady became too petrified to move. After a couple of minutes the object began to slowly rotate to reveal a sort of ribbed shield extending upwards and inwards towards a translucent dome from about 25m from the side of the object. The thing had a rounded bottom and a high domed top, with blue and red lights glowing from its interior. It continued to rotate slowly and after 5-6 minutes it gradually moved back in the direction from whence it had come and drifted north. Through binoculars the witness observed the thing in the sky, where it was joined by a second object. The two began darting about and then shot out of sight. </span><br />

A second similar being, so similar to the first that they could have been twins, emerged from the bush. Thinking they were children gathering mushrooms, he yelled out that the pickings were good. The beings who were 25-30m away, laughed out loud and ran into the bush. They had entirely human features, wore beige overalls up to the neck with no visible pockets. Their hands were bare and human the overalls reaching up to the wrists. They wore black berets. Their limbs were slender. The witness could not see any ears. Some seconds later a large, dull blue grey oval object, 5m long, 2m high, without any visible markings, rose up from behind bushes 20m away. It rose slowly and vertically with a slight whistle, to 6m, carrying up dead leaves from the ground. It then hovered silently for a second, then shot away horizontally in the direction of Mt Ventoux to the north east. At the landing site the grass and bush were flatted. Mr A now thought he had seen Chinese spies. </span><br />

The thing was dull metallic grey; its underside looked red hot, and emitted a faint glow. Across the middle of the object was a row of white light. Through binoculars, Frank was able to see smaller red lights in and around the white ones. After watching for about 30 seconds, Frank called to his elder brother, upon which the disc emitted a high pitched whine and dissolved in mid-air before the brother could arrive at the scene. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">David Swanner was in a deer stand in a tree when he saw a spherical object that came across a nearby soya field, passed in front of him and sat down in an old dirt road bed, 15-19m away. It first hovered 30cm above the ground, then three legs unfolded from its base into a tripod. Two of the legs set down in the outside wheel track, the other extended over the other track, 45cm into a field. The thing was a white and fluorescent glowing sphere with no openings or external markings, seams etc. Suddenly an opening 90cm wide, 1.2m high appeared in the sphere, as if from nowhere. It was hinged at the bottom and lowered itself into a ramp. At the same time David heard a peculiar beeping sound, “like a high pitched crow call”. He felt cold and sniffed his nose, at which the door slammed shut, the tripod retracted and the object took off at terrifying speed, leaving a fog of white vapour. When David went to the site and breathed this fog, he felt as though he was being smothered and then as though his lungs were being pumped full of air to bursting point. This sensation faded when he ran from the fog. The tripod left imprints 20mc long. This was the first of a series of UFO, Bigfoot and contact experiences. </span><br />

She tried to wake her older sister, but the latter refused to stir. When Karen looked again the object had moved slightly but was still there. She had a dream (whether at this time or another is not clear) in which she was called into a strange object via a ramp, and sitting with a group of people she knew. There was some sort of strange being present. Her sister had an identical dream. </span><br />

It had a large head, pointed chin, huge yellow eyes a little thin glowing white body. It lacked nose, mouth and ears. She saw a light in sky, and was floated up to it. She had no recollection of entering the craft, but came to on a table in a room , surrounded by entities, one of which was leaning over her. It also had a large head, pointed chin, black almond shaped eyes and yellow body. These entities seemed to be doctors of some sort. Something black was applied to her leg, and the being close to her seemed to communicate by telepathy that all would be right and it wouldn’t hurt. The shapes then faded and Carol awoke in her own bed. This story only emerged nearly 20 years later under hypnotic regression. </span><br />

The witnesses thought about getting out of his vehicle and drove up to the object but the next thing he remembered was driving through Marlow and finding that the normal 20 minute stretch of the journey had taken 90 minutes. </span></div>

As they did so, a brilliant, glowing, oval object passed over their car, emitting a blue-white light, which lit up the car and countryside. They parked their car at Battle Creek Bridge and began to look for the object, when they heard a strange noise and a scream in the brush. They turned a torch on the area and saw, 15m away, a creature about 2.1m tall, dark green or brown in colour, with what looked like a large tear drop shaped ear. It appeared to have no hair, but had lumps all over its body and seemed to be hunched up. As the creature shambled into the brush the two younger boys ran back to the car, where they were soon joined by the others. As they drove away, they had a strange feeling of being watched and followed. Our of the rear window Darrell saw what looked like silent firecrackers exploding on the pavement behind the car. John also saw them. They then saw a number of fiery objects, blue, white, orange and red moving erratically in the open fields on either side of the road. Darrell saw two glowing balls come together in the sky, whereupon one of them shot straight up and disappeared. At another point, two of the boys saw what looked like a glowing human figure walking down the road. After taking Robbie home, they reported the incident to Darrell’s father, Dean Rich. Though he thought they were pulling his leg, their evident fear impressed him enough for him to accompany them back to the site with his pistol. They walked through a walnut orchard for about 100m when they were disconcerted by a deep growl, which resembled no animal that Dean had ever heard, and they decided to leave the scene and report the matter to the police. Police investigations were fruitless, but the police confirmed that the boys were honest and scared. </span><br />

An intense orange light was revolving around the thing, or the thing was revolving on its axis, with the light on its surface). The object appeared to be two-three times the size of a car. It vanished into the trees an undetermined distance away. The witness went to the spot where he thought the object had come down but could see nothing. However at 2150 he saw the thing take off again from the same spot, rise vertically and slowly over the trees, with the same orange light orbiting it. The thing turned through 20 degrees and sped off rapidly towards Raphael. Three weeks later the witness saw exactly the same thing.

Suddenly an orange-yellow beam shot from the object and the dog disappeared. After hovering for a few seconds the object moved rapidly away. Providence Road residents told the newspaper that their dogs were missing. Several people also reported lights in the sky, and one saw an object settle behind some trees to the rear of his house. The motorist’s story was partially confirmed by the owner of the dog, who said she let the dog out and saw a car parked in the middle of the street. The dog had begun barking and would not come in when called. When she and her husband went to investigate both dog and car were gone and there was a strange yellow-orange circle where the dog had been. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">13 year old Lorraine T was talking to two 14 year old friends about 200m from her house when they heard a sound like “a modern American police car siren”, which slowly increased in volume. Turning round to see the source of the noise, Lorraine saw a bright round 2m diameter object approaching them at about 20m altitude. . The girls ran back to the house, the object following them, but when they reached the house the object changed direction and the noise cased. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They told Mrs L but she did not believe them. A few minutes later they went outside and saw it was silently hovering a few houses. A red light passed over the ball, which began to pulsate and the sound started up again. At this point the girls phoned the police from a call box, but the police treated their story as a joke. The girls returned in time to see the object move away and then fade out like (an old fashioned) TV screen. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Several people had been attracted into the street by the noise but they were unable to see anything. There was an independent witness, a 31 year old housewife, whose dog was driven to distraction by the noise and who, when she opened the door to let the animal out, saw a large blue ball, surrounded by a white flare, which expanded and contracted in rhythm with the noise, hovering over a nearby garage. She went to alert a neighbour but when she came out the object had gone and the noise had ceased. The neighbour had heard the noise however. The dog had fled back into the house and refused to go out that night or the following day. </span></span><br />

On her third trip was from the car to her house she saw that the light was approaching in a SE-NW arc. As the object approached she heard a buzzing sound that grew louder as the thing approached. Mrs Murphy went into the house and observed the object’s close approach over the street intersection SSE of her house, through the kitchen window. At the thing’s closest point it appeared to be just skimming the treetops. She was then able to see that it was a disc with a row of windows and a bright red beacon light rotating underneath. At a window at one end of the object was a blue light, at the other end a green light, with orange or red lights in the others. The light from the object was so powerful that it was visible through the curtains, even with her kitchen light on. She observed the thing for 15 minutes before it passed out of sight behind a bluff to the northwest. </span><br />

Thinking it was the result of eye strain, he stopped for a rest, upon which the mist was replaced by an intensely vivid light, which almost blinded him. When Luis opened his eyes again, he saw a huge oblong, opaque machine with a rim on the upper part and projections on the lower part, in a pasture about 100m away. From it emerged three humanoid beings, with very broad shoulders, angular forms and Mongoloid looking faces, who walked with difficulty, as if suffering from altitude sickness. Luis was rooted to the spot, unable even to think. One of the beings touched him, and without knowing why, Luis responded. Haing grabbed him by the elbow, the being and his fellows began speaking in a strange language, but Luis was able to understand that he should not be afraid, that there was nothing wrong with their machine, and something about the highway and lights that he was unable to understand. One of the beings then took a plaque from his pocket and showed it to Luis, who saw that it had two shining symbols on it.

His friend cycled ahead, but Peter felt dizzy and dismounted. He glanced into a field to the right, and he gradually made out, 8m away, a huge humanoid figure about 2.7m tall. It had no nose on its face, three long fingers, the middle of which was down to its waist. It was wearing a tunic with a sash and sock like shoes. The being, which appeared to be wet, had short thick legs and arms going below its ankles. As Peter yelled to his friend, the thing touched a sort of black spot and it vanished. </span><br />

Mario saw that the thing was coming down in a vacant lot and, thinking it was a hot air balloon, ran towards it. When Mario reached the lot he saw the thing was a kind of luminous sphere, giving off a blue light, like that of a welding torch. Mario now became frightened and ran to call his mother. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As he went in the house, two neighbours Zacarian Mendoza and Manuela Carlotta de Mendoza also saw the object.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mr B, a businessman, was a awoken by a loud humming sound. He looked around his room but could see nothing to cause it. He then noticed light beams coming through the Venetian Blinds, and peeping out of the window, he saw a blinding white light, and near it, a sort of wall of fog 4m long by 2m high. Thinking his car was on fire, he put on a jacket and slippers and dived into his car, noticing that the ice on his car alone had melted. When he started the engine, the fog crept around his car, which bounced as though someone was sitting on it. B could still see the light through his mirror, so drove off to try and put the flames out, He found that his horn would not work, and he did not meet anyone. He came across a road on which a chain was stretched. This chain tightened and broke while he was 4-5m away. He then realised that he was on the “Leusderheide” 4km out of town; a deserted area where there a was a military range. Looking out of his car window he saw a human like figure run past from somewhere behind his car and suddenly vanish. Getting out, he saw to his left a bright oval light moving across the trees to an object in front of him. This was a lens shaped object of enormous size, surrounded by a green glow, 15m from him. The green glow came from windows which seemed to be an integral part of its smooth metallic surface, which resembled aluminium. There were no welds, joins or rivets. From the top of the object, three thick beams of green fluorescent light shone upwards like searchlights. Through one of the windows he saw a human like figure. When the white oval reached the lens, it crept along the side until it reached the top, whereupon another green beam shone up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thinking it was an army experiment, he walked closer to the machine, which appeared to be 3-40m long and 4m high. When he got to within about 4m of the object, a man appeared at one of the windows and gestured to him to go back. This man was about 1.5-1.6m tall, dressed in tight fitting, seamless overalls that had a dull metallic glow. It fitted tightly around the wrists. On his waist was a belt with a tube to the right hand side which ran around his back, and was attached to his stand up collar. He had an almond shaped head with disproportionate almond shaped eyes that seemed to light up and look straight through the witness.. His upper lip appeared to be curled up as if he were smiling. Behind this being was a sort of instrument panel on which there were constantly changing colours. As the being turned to look at this panel, B noticed other beings behind the other windows, separated by a transparent panel through which they appeared to be communicating. When the first being had finished making his gestures to B, the objected jerked from the ground, hovered for a moment, floated 10m to the right, and was then “hurled away” without raising dust, but making a sound like a tile slipping off a roof. When the object had become the apparent size of a dinner plate the green beams vanished and it became a grey spot with a blue-white glow in the centre, trailing two smoke trails. When the object finally disappeared B felt very cold and drove home best he could. Arriving home, he found that he had left the door open, and been gone for 45 minutes and his family was anxious for him. One of his children went to the site, where he found an area of flattened grass near his tyre marks. It appears that three holes were found in the area, and a tree in the vicinity did not grow leaves that spring. </span></span><br />

In her left hand she held a silvery sphere that was connected to a rod, which she held in her hand. On this sphere were three antennae 30cm long, pointing towards Aarno. They shook hands and she greeted him in Finnish. He also saw a man dressed in a similar but lighter suit about 70cm away. She talked about her home “ a green and pleasant land” at the other side of the galaxy, and though she only looked twenty, said she was 180. </span><br />

They now saw that it was an octagonal object, about twice the size of an average car, with four thin legs or pipes underneath, with pads on their ends.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A group of first-form schoolboys at Taverham Hall School (average age 8 years) were building huts in Red Wood about 300m from the school when some of them heard a high pitched hum. David B and John C (who had been playing football) ran over to the woods in time to see an object moved left to right, above the woods about 100m away, causing a disturbance among the treetops. The thing was shaped like “a rugby ball with the bottom cut away” with a band of coloured light, ¾ of the way down, in three rows. This light was of an orange-red or yellow colour. . The object itself had a shiny, grey-silver top, surmounted by a sort of spike and a copper coloured bottom. It was travelling at less than 15 altitudes at 40-50kph, spinning and dipping up and down as it circled the woods. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When the thing reached the eastern end it hovered and then executed a rapid U turn. On the fourth or fifth circuit the object stopped in the middle of the woods and then dipped down. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A third boy James H had seen the lights of the object as it move dover the wood and seen the trees move, and he now joined David and John, along with Christopher L, Jeremy A, Martin B and Master C. This group of seven boys watched a pattern of lights flashing through the trees for 5 minutes until they had to go home for bed. No traces were found in the wood and the investigators felt that the object must have been behind the woods, over the electricity pylons. </span></span><br />

He first thought it was a vehicle coming towards him, so he pulled over to the side and stopped. About 20 seconds later he realised that there were two lights, white on the left, red on the right, between which was a dark oval shape, darkest at the centre. The thing seemed to be four times the angular diameter of the full moon. The thing then seemed to rise and pass over his car with a swishing sound that diminished over a few seconds. He looked round to see the object through the rear view mirror, but nothing was visible, not even when he got out of the car.</span><br />

The light was huge and blinding, filling the car and Hilda prepared to swerve round an object on the ground just ahead. As they swerved past, they saw two men, clad in pale blue bulky, quilted overalls and dark helmets, like those worn by motorcyclists, bathed in the brilliant blue light. Both appeared to be standing beside or below an obscure object which had some vague resemblance to a truck, which one of the men appeared to be working on. The beings had wide belts and gloves and appeared to be “rigid” and unaware of the near collision. They carried black rods 10-12cm wide. The light seemed to follow their car as they drove past. When the ladies looked back all was dark and there was no sign of the object or beings. Both later suffered burning aching pains in their chests and arms. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Six young people (four men and two girls) went in their old sedan car to investigate Bents Basin where various alleged phenomena were supposed to have taken place. They parked for a picnic at a spot about 90m from the water and 200m from a small hill, the top of which was not directly visible owning to the car’s inclination on the slope. When they tried to start the car to move further into the basin, they found it would not start. One of the men got out to discover what was the matter, and saw an object on top of the hill opposite. On being called, all the party, except for one girl who was afraid to look, confirmed this. It was a disk resting on three legs, with a pink top and blood red bottom. The light from the object was pulsating in rhythm to a hum it was emitting. The five watching the object all experienced severe headaches., the girl watching fainting, and one of the men almost doing the same. They managed to get the car going the drove further into the basin but they had not gone very far when they heard thumping sounds on the car roof and the engine caught fire, forcing them to jump from the still moving vehicle in panic. The car them came to rest among some trees. Two of the men went off to try and thumb a lift, but rushed back to say that a huge shadow was approaching. The party heard a soft, windy, whining noise and hid in the grass. The two who had gone to fetch the lift, and a third man while a huge humanoid “animate being” 2.4-3m tall approached the area where the car was, with a slow motion that gave them the impression that it was on rollers. They were unable to see any legs, but could make out a glossy body, round helmeted head, broad shoulders and arms which terminated in pointed hands. After 30 seconds, and just when they thought the being was “going to get them”, it vanished on the spot, either going out like a light or vanishing from the bottom up. After 30 minutes the party ran out of the area past where the circular object had been but there was now no sign of it.</span><br />

He first thought it was an aircraft, then saw that it was a silvery egg shaped machine rapidly approaching him. It slowed down and descended slowly into the cornfield, a tripod landing gear coming down from the bottom just before it landed 100m away. An opening appeared in the underside and a group of beings 1.5m tall, dressed in one piece “flying suits” got out, messed around in the corn for a while, then re-entered their craft, which was between 4.5-6m tall. As the object took off, a blue flame shot out from the bottom, the landing gear retracted, and it gave off a slight roar as it shot into the sky. The whole observation lasted about 30 minutes. Vegetation in the area looked as though it had been blown down by an incredible wind. </span><br />

A nearby farmer was awakened by a disturbance amongst his sheep and poultry and also saw the object. </span><br />

The lights then moved across the Park, until they stopped by the priory, where they just disappeared. For the next two hours she saw various other lights all converge on the same spot. She observed some of these later lights through binoculars. These lights were orange, becoming duller before they landed. They were also seen by her mother. The original lights had been in a definite saucer shape. A keeper at the park talked of ghosts being reportedly seen there. </span><br />

He thought he had the left the light on, but going back inside, he found he hadn’t. . However on going out of the back door he encountered, about 200m away, a dull metallic looking object, about 10m long, 5m high, on which were about 30 brilliant orange lights. Its light lit up the whole surroundings and there was a terrific wind blowing, which blew the door out of Bill’s hand and bent the pine trees in his backyard. The object was making a sound like a cement mixer, which drove his cows frantic. Soddenly the object rose up and disappeared at terrific speed. As it did so, Bill observed three blue lights, though he was unable to pinpoint their position on the object. The night was still and cloudless. No traces were found but his TV and radio reception had been ruined by static that night. Bill was very calm during the object’s presence but became very afraid once it had left. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Javier Bosque (20), a student for the priesthood, was reading in his bed when he was astonished to see an intensely powerful light outside the living room window, which was slightly ajar. He became afraid when the two leaves of the window opened slowly to let in aluminous elliptical thing about 50cm by 33cm move silently and slowly towards the centre of his bedroom alcove. The thing was 2m from the head of his bed and 2m above the floor. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With the entrance of this object, Javier’s transistor radio, which had been left on though the station had closed down for the night, began to produce high pitched beeps. Javier turned on his tape recorder kept by his bed. At this the object dropped to about 40cm and, after a few minutes, put out a beam of light 5cm wide, which extended slowly until it reached the radio, causing it to sway. The light then drew back to half its length and reached out towards the tape recorder, which did not sway, and after touching it for a moment, withdrew back into the object, which again rose up to 2m, halted for a few moments and then headed straight out of the window,, climbing out of sight the moment it reached the street. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The incident had lasted 15 minutes but the beeping on the radio continued for some time after the object had gone out of sight, slowly fading away. Javier had a vague but persistent feeling that seemed to be located in the frontal part of his brain. This seemed to keep saying “measure the time” and which lasted from the moment he switched the tape recorder on until the object left the room. Analysis of the tape showed that it would have been impossible for Javier to have produced the bleeps himself. The same morning a travelling businessman driving a highway was followed by a similar light, putting itself above the car, stopping the motor for a moment and terrifying the driver. </span></span><br />

A labourer Boer de Klerk was sent out to inspect a dam and was about to make a fire when he noticed smoke coming from a clump of trees. Thinking it was a trespasser, he called out and was shaken to see a shiny object, like a ball of fire, emerge from the trees and hover overhead. He went back to get Smit, who, when he got to the scene, observed a glowing red object, which turned bright green and then yellow –white, hovering in the 5m tall bush. It appeared oval, with a white spot of light glowing above the right hand edge, and flames coming from all round it. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Smit went and fetched his rifle, calling the police at the same time. Returning to the scene with the rifle, Smit fired at it. Two police officers, Warrant Officer P von Rensburg and PC Kitching, arrived at the site about 1000 hours. They observed that the object had a blue-black, gun metal colour, was egg shaped and 3m long. De Klerk and three other labourers were engaged to try and beat it out of the bush, and when that failed they fired at it at a range of 250m</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Smit advanced to within 10m of the thing and fired twice at point blank range. Altogether 15 shots were fired, none appearing to have any serious effect, though at least one shot it hit with a dull thud, causing it to rock from side to side. At his closest point to the object Smit heard a humming sound like machinery. The object appeared to respond to events with a purpose. It then moved into the Fordyce Bush, an almost impenetrable area, and after an hour the police left. Smit stayed behind and the object remained in the area until well past midday, moving through the trees without burning them. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Three sets of two impressions were found in the damp clay; each imprint was 625mm in diameter and turned slightly in a clockwise direction. There appeared to be some confusion as to the exact sequence of events. </span></span><br />

The object had neither marks, seams nor openings on its totally smooth surface, and was emitting an intense blue glow and a faint humming sound.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>ARROYITO (CORDOBA : ARGENTINA)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Atilio Brunelli (52), a professor of music, composer and concert artist, along with retired industrialist Severino Porchietto (58) were driving home to Cordoba from a musical reunion Balearia, 185km away, along a route they knew well. Severino was driving at 80-100kph, when 304 minutes after passing Arroyito, they were astonished by a bright flash of light that lit up the whole countryside. Severino caught a brief glimpse of a dark object in the sky. Thinking it was a storm he speeded up. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A few moments later they observed some 50m or so from the left hand side of the road, on a completely level piece of ground, a row of rectangular soft orange lights, apparently on a structure about 50m long. After about 10 seconds they had passed the thing and it was then they realised that the sky was completely clear, with no sign of a storm and that what they thought had been windows in a train had been rectangular (about 3m by 70cm) rather than square and that this “train” was much further back than the railway line.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the moments after they had seen this object their car had run unusually smoothly, with none of the usual bumps, so much so that Severino had the impression that they were a few centimetres above the ground. Before they knew where they were they were at Montecristo, just 25km from Cordoba, with no recollection of going through the other towns on the route. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When Atilio arrived home, after being dropped off by Severino he found it was only0330. Both men arrived home in a curious state of euphoria. Severino found that is car had only consumed half the normal amount of fuel used on this journey. Atilio then developed an itch, alternating with numbness, over a perfectly circular area 1.5cm diameter in his right lumbar dorsal region. Severino also found a marked improvement in his blood pressure and suffered a sort of amnesia about the incident for 33 hours until a member of the family had asked if anything had happened on the journey. It appeared that an 81km section of their journey was missing. A group of people driving near Frontera saw an exceptionally white flash in the direction of Arroyito at about the same time. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mr Slabbert called at the police station to report an unidentified flying object and then went with Constable J F Myburgh in the police van to the spot on the Wesselbron Road about 3km out of town. There they saw a flat rotating disc high in the sky, giving off a yellow light with blue rings around it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Suddenly the thing came straight down at the patrol van, hovering right above it, keeping position for 15minutes (according to some reports it rose up and down during this period). The thing now appeared to be 1m diameter and glowing red. Myburgh radioed for permission to fire on the object but was refused. The object then moved off towards Welkom. As it did so, it was seen by H F Coetzee, senior traffic inspector at Kronnstad, who reported it as looking like a zeppelin with blotches of light resembling windows on the hull. As the thing left at high speed in the direction of Johannesburg, four other traffic inspectors saw it from two separate locations.</span><br />

Then Cindy drew their attention to a huge red ball, the apparent size of the full moon. As the sound lowered in pitch until it sounded like the whirring of helicopter blades, the object seemed to reduce itself to a small dot on the spit. It then went behind a hill and some trees but they could still hear the sound. Mrs Lorna Briggs and her 13 year old daughter of Hillside Drive also saw the object but did not hear any noise. </span><br />

The men were of normal size but appeared to have grey faces and some kind of helmets over their heads. On the opposite side of the road was a large silvery cigar shaped object making a hissing sound, close to or touching the power lines. Five of the figures turned away but the sixth came towards the car with his hand out. His features were hidden by a diamond shaped, faceted mask. The witness heard a strange pinging sound and quickly drove away in panic, the pinging sound fading as he drove on. Possibly a Post Office telephone line repair crew and generator canopy, but the presence of such a crew could not be confirmed. </span><br />

It appeared metallic, with a flat underside, a red light on top and a row of small windows around its centre. These were illuminated by yellow, pink and pale green lights and through them could be seen figures in green overalls walking about and working with various equipment. The thing emitted a beeping sound that seemed to come from the top light. The mother got out of the car and ran toward the thing, alarming her 30 year old daughter. The object moved off with a circular motion. Other motorists appeared not to notice it. </span></div>

It hovered over the Voortrekker cemetery and then descended into the section south of Commercial Road, appearing to disintegrate as it neared the ground. The thing was in view for a few seconds only.

As they approached the thing, Barker flashed his car lights but got no response and they were soon so blinded by the light that they stopped the car. An object, standing as high as their car was sitting on the bridge, blocking the entire road. Its light resembled a giant neon light. Before the two men could recover the object shot straight up into the sky and vanished. Two police constables, Chris Claasen and Nico Foourie were sent to investigate and they arrived on the scene 30 minutes later. They found nothing on the bridge but when they turned back to the capital, about 2km from the bridge, among some trees in a valley to the left they saw a strange object. They went after it, but when they had to get out to open a gate the object vanished. </span><br />

Maureen felt as though she was in a vacuum. Looking up through the windscreen she was able to see part of the rim of a glowing object hovering above her car. She heard a voice in her mind which said “All your tests will be negative” “Tell the media do not panic, we mean no harm and then “Now you have control”. At this last “message” the vacuum effect disappeared and the car engine began to function again. She was still very shaken when she reported the matter to the police. </span><br />

As the thing seemed to be gaining on him, Steve threw his pick at the being, wounding it in the face. Steve then drove off in panic. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mr Hall and his family were driving out from Thief River Falls back to their home in Tolstoi, Manitoba, along Rte 59 at about 90-95kph when Hall noticed and drew his wife’s attention a very bright light in the sky to his right. His 4 children were asleep in the back. The Halls did not take much notice of the light, which they thought was on a radio tower but after 10 minutes they realized that the light was much closer and matching the speed of their station wagon. The thing then suddenly zoomed straight down towards them, lighting up the inside of their vehicle brighter than the day and waking up their children. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hall told his 10 year old son to flash at the thing four times with his flashlight, which he did. At this the object immediately gave four flashes back, by extinguishing its light four times. Mrs Hall repeated the performance and the object again responded, moving even closer. At this time the car radio began to malfunction, the engine began to misfire; eventually quitting completely and the interior of their wagon grew very hot.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hall managed to pull over on to the hard shoulder, his wife and children increasingly scared. Getting out of the car Hall felt a prickly sensation, like small electric shocks, all over his body and saw the very bright, green-blue, oval object, surrounded by a haze, directly overhead. He lifted the car bonnet while his wife tried to start the car, but sparks jumped from the plug leads straight across the coil to the metal sides of the car. Hall, who was a master mechanic, had never seen anything like this before. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As another car approached down the highway the object took off at terrific speed. This other car did not stop but the Hall’s vehicle was now working so they drove off. When they did so the object, which had become a mere speck in the sky, came close again, though keeping a reasonable distance from their wagon. It again responded to signals so they stopped again. At this point Mrs Hall and the three children saw three smaller discs leave the main one, going north, south and east respectively. The main object then gave a kind of wobble and left at terrific speed. The thing had a sort of tail. The observation lasted two hours and after the object had gone Mrs Hall realised that her bad head cold had now disappeared and that she felt really well. </span></span><br />

He attention was caught by a brilliant white ball the size of a bubble car. While she was trying to work out how a car could glow so brightly, she heard strange footsteps, like a child going at a slow regular pace, on the grass behind her. Turning to her left, she saw, 3-4m away, a completely black form, 1.2m tall, which gave the impression of being composed of wooden parallelograms 3--40c, thick, with an egg shaped form for a head and two round disks 5cm diameter for eyes. She was unable to see any limbs. She felt an unnatural morbid fear which seemed to emanate from the form. The whole of nature seemed dead and frozen around the form. Suddenly she was back inside the tent with her husband, leaping in with a single bound. Her husband said her face was distorted with fear. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A group of about 30 young people camping at Taize were talking together by the auditorium, with a view over the hills. Ms Rennata Faa de Masullas from Sardinia was looking over this valley when she saw a star like light approaching and drew her companions’ attention to it. By this time it had landed on a hill opposite. She had been alerted by a sort of sub-audible whistling sound. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The party now saw that the 30m long object was on or just above the ground at a place called “Le Cras”. On it were 7 yellow lights and to their left two orange lights which appeared to be outside the object. Five of the seven lights began to emit beams of white light that gradually extended towards the ground. Above the beams on the far left they could see two yellow cupolas. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The light from the beams fanned out normally as it descended, but it gave the witnesses the impression that they were part of some solid structure rather than just lights Two of the witnesses Mr F Tantot of Macon and a man from Dijon, who did want his name used, felt a tingling in his fingers. Soon after the object had landed small red sparks appeared at the right end of the object and quickly went out. They then saw three small white discs, with red points of light on their extremities, which haphazardly manoeuvred around the main object for the next 2 ½ hours.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After they had watched this for about an hour Rennata, Tantot, the man from Dijon and an Italian student went to investigate. They noticed that the discs never moved more than 30m from the main object in their manoeuvres and that there appeared to be a correspondence between the variation in brightness of the beam second from the right and the flickering red spots on the disc. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As they approached a multitude of red particles appeared in the air and on the ground all around them, various colour changes took place on the main object and above the 5 yellow lights, a series of circles of “unreal” white light formed. When the party reached the middle of the field they saw a dark mass, which their torches revealed to be a very black object, 5-6m high, resembling a giant artillery shell with a domed top, around which a small red light was circling. This thing appeared to be about 10m away, behind a sort of wall on which the beam of their torch went straight up This so disconcerted them that they made no further attempt to approach this object, the light of which went out, only to come on again a minute later. Tantot then signalled to the thing with his torch, at which the large beam to the left turned towards the party, dazzling them with its intense light and terrific heat. The object then began to move as if in difficulties, surrounded by a bluish glow and swinging back and forth on its axis. The thing then shot off into the distance, hugging the ground, at tremendous speed (estimated 3km per second). 2 hours 40 minute had passed since the thing was first seen. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As Tantot was driving home, up the hill beyond Cluny, he encountered a group of stopped cars, whose occupants were looking at a similar object in the air below the level of the road, above a small property surrounded by trees about 1km away. The thing appeared as a large yellow light, accompanied by a small red one. It then appeared to land in the clearing and flicker. Tantot drove up as close as he could, without getting out of the car; there he saw just a bluish halo, which vanished a few minutes later. Tantot informed the police and the magazine LDLN a couple of days later. He returned to the sites of the two encounters, finding an elliptical desiccated area, 30m long, in the field, and in the wood a branch of an aspen tree had been cut in a curious manner. </span></span><br />

He braked and saw a large object, which appeared to be hovering just over the treetops (perhaps 12-15m altitude). The thing was 6-9m diameter. After seven seconds it made a beeping sound and rose out of sight. Greg was then able to restart his car, though the lights and radio would not return. He returned to the site with his sister. Police investigations showed skid marks at the site. The car’s fuses had blown and the temperature gauge showed the engine had overheated. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Antique dealer John Taylor (30) and his wife Sandra (29), of Heald Green, were driving home from a business trip to Newcastle. They had just got onto the dual carriageway of the A19 at Thirsk when their radio began to fill with static and Sandra noticed a glow in a field and suggested that they go out for a look. Sandra got out of the car and lit a cigarette. John followed, They were struck by a strange “other worldly” silence and saw, 30m (or 15m) away in a field on the other side of a fairly high hedge that bordered the road, a spherical object, 6m diameter, the “size of a house”, which appeared to be on the end of an elongated object, shaped rather like a melon about 10m high, 20m long. It had a tapering base. The spherical front glowed with a brilliant indescribable colour and had a red light on top. As they watched a “T” shaped opening appeared, from which emerged an extremely powerful light, like a sustained photographic flash. Totally unnerved, John dragged a still curious Sandra into the car and drove away. They reported the matter to the Stockport Police, who told that what they had seen was a marquee. Sandra was on holiday when an investigator called but John was still agitated, and refused to see any more investigators. In a separate set of investigations John had found it impossible to precisely locate the site of the incident. Their might have been a period of missing time. Afterwards Sandra had strange dreams about a little man and had ESP and other anomalous experiences. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Master mason Raymundo Villegas Alvarez (42) and his assistant Pancho Torres (18) were working on a roof drain when they heard a faint humming sound, to which they paid little attention, thinking it was coming from a nearby radio tower. They were then struck by the fact that the ordinary sounds of the day had been replaced with a stifling silence. They then spotted two strange figures 50m away. They were very tall (2.5m) reaching above the witnesses 2m high second story, and dressed in bright silvery clothes that resembled fish scales. At first the witnesses thought that these figures were people going to a fancy dress party. However as they reached the highway they were able to get a much better look at them. The strangers had very broad shoulders but unusually slender waists, with rounded heads, elongated chins, bright silvery faces with greenish bumps in place of eyes, small ears, no visible mouth or nose, hands with four pointed fingers and large webbed feet. They seemed to float in the air as they walked. The two witnesses watched the beings for about 5 minutes. When the creatures reached the highway, they flew up to the two men, who were forced to defend themselves with their work implements. At that moment a woman carrying a container of milk came around the corner, and the two creatures flew towards her. A great quantity of dust rose up from the ground and the entities disappeared into it, not to be seen again. Both men were anxious and suffered from nightmares, Torres leaving the district. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">John I Calkins (23), assistant manager of a Nickersons farm restaurant, was wakened by the howling of his dog. Looking out, he saw three lighted objects over his house, which objects rose up and disappeared. He then heard strange high pitched whistles and sounds like a vacuum cleaner, so he called the police. Looking out again he saw objects in the sky, changing colours and lighting up the area, so that he could see that his dog had its paws over its ears. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One object 7.5-10.5m diameter, 4.5-6m high, with a domed top and bottom and points at each end, emitting a brilliant light and a beeping sound, land on the Quonset Building, 45m from his caravan. John became cold with fear and had to go back inside. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A call had already been received by Thomas County sheriff’s office at Colby, from another witness and patrolman Paul Carter (22) was dispatched to the scene. As he turned off Main Street at 1-70 and headed south, he saw an object moving northeast to southwest, which settled in a pasture north east of his position. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The thing was large, very bright changing from red and green flashing lights to a steady white light that was too brilliant to look at. The thing was an oval 9-10.5m wide, 6-7.5m high and resembled an inverted bowl. It was hovering 3-5m above the field, which it illuminated. Paul called in for help at 0207 and his patrol partner, Dennis Brown (22) rushed to the area in his own car, arriving in time to see the object take off from the field and head away to the southeast. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taking the patrol car they followed the thing and contacted Oakley Police, 30km to the southeast, who watched the object. As the object shot away over the field, Dennis took three Polaroid photographs but nothing came out. They then appeared to have received the call from Gem and drove to that scene. As they approached they saw several red and green lights either hovering or moving swiftly in the sky. The pair went out as far as Rexford but then returned to Gem, where John Calkin confirmed that the two officers were very pale and shaken. No traces were found at either the Gem or Colby landing sites. Up to about 30 other residents saw lights in the sky until about dawn at 0620. </span></span><br />

A short distance out of Medanos he was flagged down by a man with his coat collar turned up and wearing a cap. Eduardo gave the stranger a lift but was struck by his companion’s uncommunicative nature-he answered enquiries about where he had come from and his destination with incomprehensible mumbles. Eduardo put this down to the stranger being a semiliterate peasant until they reached km 710, where the car’s lights went out, forcing him to stop. Eduardo then noticed an object, which he first thought was an upturned bus, on the highway. It had a large blue light in the middle, and two, somewhat smaller, white lights on the sides. When Eduardo got out of the car he was dazzled by a brilliant white, searing hot, flash of light, which forced him to shelter behind the car door. When he looked up, he saw that the object, which had a row of windows giving off white light and a green light on the underside, was moving off to the left. This just took a few seconds. When he returned to the car the stranger had, gone, the door was open, with the handle on the floor. At that moment the car lights came on again. There was an independent witness, Roberto Max Maisterrena, a worker at a factory in the area, who saw, about this time, , something like a bus, hovering above a hill near National Highway 3. It had openings like windows and was emitting flashes of white light. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Harold Johnson and his wife, the owners of the Castle Hill Supper Club, south of Merillian, saw an extremely bright light shining through the trees about halfway up Castle Mound, b3hind their club. It illuminated the Rabbit hutch at the end of their lawn and lit up the branches of the trees. The intense blue-white light remained absolutely stationary in the south-east, gradually fading away after 10 minutes. The following day Mrs Johnson and her daughter went to the site but found no traces. Harold estimated that it was at between 15-30m altitude. </span><br />

They had crossed the bridge and had to stop while an animal crossed the road when they saw what looked like a fire on the veldt to their left. Suddenly the flames disappeared and they saw two rows of lights like portholes, one above the other, the lower row being level with their car, There was also a big, bright, dull orange spotlight. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The couple got back in their car and drove off in fear, only to find that the thing followed them. Through the dense bush it now looked like a large white spotlight but when they reached open country again they saw it as a row of lights on an object, which followed, increasing speed and stopping as they did. When they got within 40km of Kimberley the thing split into four bright white lights, which drifted with them until they reached the city prison, where the lights disappeared. There were numerous independent witnesses. </span></span><br />

It was seen first ahead and then behind the car. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">16km past Pimba Helen noticed it on the right hand side of the car, taking off from the ground, emitting a circle of green, iridescent light.

The thing appeared to be made of two substances, one silver and the other dull black and to be standing on legs. Helen was too terrified to go back.

He estimated that it was the same size as a 4.8x 6m addition to their property. Another member of the family came out in time to see the object disappearing and another found she had to calm the dog, which had become exited. There was interference on TV during the incident. The boy observed the object, which appeared to be as bright as the sun, for about 60 seconds and afterwards developed a swelling of the eyes and ear ache. </span><br />

When the lads threaded wire through these holes a lid in the underside opened, which they could neither shut nor take off. The inside looked like part of a radio or TV set. The lid shut on its own accord. When they poured water in the holes it made a noise like a cicada. It was undamaged by blows from a hammer and a stone. It was luminous, the light shining through the bag in which it was kept. It appeared to have the ability to appear and disappear through the sealed bag and on the last occasion it vanished, the brother holding it was knocked off the back seat of the cycle on which they were riding.

When they switched off their lights and indicator they could see that the object was now hovering 3m above her house. When the children brought their grandmother out of the house, the object swayed slightly and rotated in a swirling motion, maintaining its position over the house, emitting a soft, bright white light. No sharp edges or details were visible. After about 5 minutes the thing moved off to the west, still rotating and eventually disappeared behind the trees. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Ronald and Geraldine Ludwig and their 12 year old daughter were out driving when Geraldine saw a white glowing object, the size of a house, giving off a dull light. The thing paced the car, turned the corner with them and then veered over the car. It landed briefly in a field of tall corn, shot up back into the sky, flaring up, and then descended again, lighting up the field. They saw that it was large, round and appeared to have rays coming from it. The family were unnerved and drove home, where they reported the matter to the sheriff, but his investigations found no traces. </span><br />

As the thing moved into the clouds, it looked like a vertical dumbbell, with a brilliant light at each end and a soft red pulsating light in its centre. As Bill cycled down Latham Street to start his milk round job, he saw the object again, apparently about 30m above Bluff Hill. He observed the object for about 5-7 minutes. </span><br />

The couple went outside and saw a bright light in the south, 30 degrees above the horizon. Through binoculars this appeared to be a round shape with a flattened bottom. It had a blue white light and moved back and forth 6 or7 times before disappearing behind trees to the west. At 0300 the next morning the couple were awakened by the barking and howling of their three large guard and hunting dogs. Mr S took one of the dogs to go and investigate, but the normally courageous animal was reluctant to move. As S searched the area with a flashlight, there was a sudden bright flash of light on or near the ground, which sufficiently unnerved to abandon the search until the morning. That morning he noticed that an evergreen tree at the site, 90m from the house, had been discoloured on one side. Beyond this side an oval area of depressed grass, about 6m by 4,3m in the centre of which were three small imprints, each showing an extension or toe. These imprints were 60mm long and one was 40mm deep. A blackened area came was found in the centre of these imprints formed a triangle. These features were still visible when the case was investigated in November despite several cm of rain and snow. </span><br />

As he did so, he was surprised to see that the light in the far sector was out and that someone was sat on one of the wash troughs. He wondered how this could be as he had personally locked the room at 0140, but carried on with his work. Suddenly the light in the near sector went out with a metallic click, and the one in the far sector came on, showing that the entity had vanished. The entity had only been 3m away and Merlo had seen it was a being with a large hairless head, long pointed ears, slit eyes and marks on its cheeks. It appeared to be dressed in a dull, dark blue, tight fitting one piece suit with face and hands bare, showing long slender fingers. One hand appeared to be held against his nose as it sat on the basin with its feet on the ground (which appeared to give it an estimated height of 2.4-2.5m. The temperature in the area seemed to be higher than in the rest of the factory. Merlo suffered from eye watering, headaches, a red spot on his nose and pains in the lumbar area. As he drove back to work that day at 2110, Merlo seemed to see the being’s face reflected in the bus mirror and he could now make out other details, such as that it had a mouth in which the upper lip protruded beyond the lower one, brown patches on its cheeks, lines beneath the eyes and a triangular nose. This face vanished after three minutes. </span><br />

At first Gomez thought the stranger was a policeman, but then saw that his uniform had no pockets or insignia, that he carried no gun and wore no gloves etc. This man claimed he was Freddy Miller, a well known Dominican of American extraction who had been lost at sea 15 years before. “Miller” claimed he had been rescued by people like his two 2.1m tall companions, who came from a “modern machine you call a UFO”. The two men were dressed in identical fashion to “Miller”. with short brown hair, light coloured skin, and were standing silently with their arms crossed, observing the scene. Beside them was an oval shaped machine resembling an American football (rugby ball), with a nickled surface. “Miller” gave evasive answers to Gomez’s questions about their origin and purpose, “Miller” then told him to drive on as they were now leaving, and advised him not to worry if his car stopped at all. As Gomez drove away he saw the three leaving through the bushes. Next day the car did fail, but started working in the early morning of its own accord, after an unsuccessful trip to the garage. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Enrique Moreno (19) an internal document distributor at the Ika-Enault plant was coming out of the store on his round when he saw a sort of rainbow close to the ground near the perimeter of the plant. He did not pay much attention to this and hurried up, but then noticed, 10m from the road, 100m away, a blue-green figure slowly moving as if to cross the road. At first he thought it was one of the workmen but then felt that the figure was so tall that it would have to be on stilts. When Moreno got within 30m of the figure, it turned around, swinging its whole body in a manner which gave the impression that its arms and legs were inanimate and just attached to the body. At the same time Moreno’s motorcycle began to vibrate and backfire, slowed down, then, when level with the entity, stopped. The entity was among the car chassis and only its upper part was visible, but Moreno was able to see that it was 2.3-2.4m tall, with an extremely angular greenish white face. It was hairless and its ears protruded above the top of its skull. It had round, sparkling eyes, like yellow light bulbs, with no eyelids, lashes or eyebrows, a straight line for a mouth and a perfect pyramid of a nose, the whole appearance of something modelled and artificial. It wore a one piece luminous plastic blue-green suit with a large silvery belt, which had a buckle of the same colour. On the right hand side of the belt was a pouch like a cartridge pouch. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">During this time Moreno felt an unbearable hum in his ears, an itch throughout his body and a paralysis of his limbs, which did not, however, stop him from staying on his motorcycle, a feeling of heat (the night itself was cool), a smell of burning oil. After what seemed like 30 seconds the cycle suddenly shot off to the left at terrific speed, and even when it slowed down he was driving at 50k/h without any conscious control. When he reached the security gate he heard the 2330 siren, which indicated he had been observing the being for 17 minutes, though he had no recall of this. The security staff denied there were any traces, but Moreno claimed they had deliberately obliterated two hot rectangular footprints, 20cm by 40cm, 2cm deep, in which were luminous particles, like mica. Moreno suffered from nausea, burning eyes and pain in the neck. He became so ill that staff called for an ambulance, but he asked instead to be taken to his fiancee's house. Both in the ambulance and when he got to her house he was rambling on about latitude and longitude etc, and his sleep was nervous. these were probably the after-effects of a sedative. Earlier that night at 2230 he had been unnerved by the lights in the engineering office going on and off three times of their own accord. At 2330 that night, Mrs Quirgo, a lady living near the plant, saw a luminous object, which picked up a humanoid being by means of a crystal tube. This was confirmed by Mr and Mrs Roberto Grosso who were driving past the plant when they saw a luminous body rise from the plant and high speed. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At 0340 the next morning Luftolde Rodriguez (52) a truck driver for Egrea was delivering parts to the plant and had just finished unloading in the extreme North East of the plant when his truck’s transistor radio packed up with a loud bang and he noticed the whole area was lit up and someone was walking towards him. Looking round he saw the torso of an extremely tall individual. When this individual reached the right wing of the truck, the witness was able to see that it was 2.5m tall. bald, the top and back of the skull were flattened. It had long erect ears, reaching 2cm above the skull, no eyelids, eyebrows, lashes, round luminous eyes, very white in complexion, straight nose with flat sides and small mouth. It was dressed in a bluish-green plastic looking one piece luminescent suit. Its body was of robust but unnatural with unnaturally long arms and legs. In its left hand it had something like a billiard ball which continuously emitted a powerful white light.. On both wrists were silvery clasps and on its feet were silvery boots, with creases on the tops and thick rectangular bottoms. The being walked without bending its knees, which made it sway as it walked. As it passed, Rodriguez was paralysed in his seat, unable even to move his hands, the truck began to vibrate so much that the radio fell away from the dashboard and he heard a humming sound, like a swarm of bees, in his ears. The entity did an about right turn, looked at him, then turned round again, swinging its whole body, and as it walked off, the lights and engine on the truck went out, only to come on again when the entity was 25-30m away. Rodrgiuez just sat there stunned until some workers came up to ask what happened. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At 2230 that night, Moreno was back on duty and went to the teleprinting section to get some work tools when, getting the impression he was being watched, looked towards a window which overlooked some upon ground and saw, facing him, 3m from the window, the same entity he had seen the night before. At the same time the fluorescent lights began flashing on and off, the area filled with a soft hum and the teleprinters started up. He ran off in total panic until the security guard calmed him down. </span></span><br />

After hovering in the North West sky for a short time, the thing descended slowly, at 45 degrees, to a place called La Odaia. At this spot a circle of burnt corn and compacted clay 582cm was found. At the centre of this circle was a hole 14cm wide, 260 cm deep, around which were heaps of soil 70cm diameter; there were also three trapezoid depressions at an angle of 120 degrees to each other. This spot was bounded by three trees and two high tension cables and it appeared that the traces had been scraped out. Grass in this area appeared scorched, the surrounding maize was riper and the local moles had come out of hibernation again. Laboratory analysis showed signs of increased radioactivity. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A businessman and minister, who had been hearing strange beeping sounds for a number of years heard the sound again and saw a strange flying object. He then became aware of a humanoid being about 1.6m tall, dressed in a thin one-piece overall stood beside him. The being had a thin lips and a small nose and appeared to lack teeth. Its eyes were elongated ovals. It wore a sort of turban with a star on it. This being took the witness by the hand and led him over 600m to a 15m diameter luminous object and took him inside to a transparent room with leathery chairs and various dials and gauges. The object took off and entered the sea to place where there were about 700 beings. Here he was given a strange but nourishing meal, neither sweet nor salty. After this experience the witness developed various “wild talents”. </span><br />

When he got within 10m of the object he felt his skin tingle and hair stand on end.

He heard a high pitched sound on the radio and saw a light in the sky, approaching. As it got closer Ed saw that it was a golden-yellow disc, surmounted by a shallow dome. From the thing’s underside came two beams of light, from which emerged things that looked like squat cylinders, a smaller on top of a larger, with antennae from their sides and four legs. As these things descended the noise on the radio increased in pitch and debris under them swirled around. One of the cylinders flashed a beam at Ed and he got a vision of the interior of the disc where humanoid beings were working, and received “information” about their world. The beam then went out and the strange double cylinders disappeared as the disc took off. </span><br />

When he went to the door, however, he was blinded and totally disorientated by a brilliant white light. He came to his senses in a sort of laboratory which was brilliantly illuminated by a huge central lamp that gave off a fluorescent light. Around him were 5-10 beings of generally humanoid appearance, but exceptionally tall (2.2-2.3m) and slender (waists only 25-30 cm). They were all of the same height and features, including very long and wide chins, and wore dark olive-green uniforms. They took samples of blood from the fourth finger of his left hand, and of sperm. While these samples were being taken Ciccip;i was able to look round the lab, which appeared to be of metallic construction and contained various pieces of apparatus. He then lost consciousness and came to at home at 0340. In the next few days first his finger then his whole left hand began to swell, and after 12 days noticed slight paints at the nape of his neck and his mind seemed to fill with various scientific ideas. His dog developed bouts of paralysis at about this time. </span><br />

She managed to get within 150m of them, at which point she was able to see that they were about 1m tall, dressed in what looked like white gowns, with a black belt around the area just below the chest, that they wore black round caps on their heads and their faces were dark.

The hairs on the back of his neck stood up, his right arm seemed to lack feeling, and he felt unable to move.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Corporal Juan Fuentes Figueroa, one of a team of 5 naval personnel who attended the electric generator for the lighthouse on the island, went to do his inspection. As he walked towards the lighthouse Juan noticed some lights on the terrace atop the 66m high structure. He went back for his pistol and set out to investigate. Getting closer he saw that they were white, yellow and violet lights on some sort of object. Near this thing were three figures, one by it, the other two, one taller than the other, descending the terrace. Two of these beings stopped Juan and seemed to communicate this to the third, and all three turned around. Juan then had an odd feeling like a vibration and a “premonition” that it would be useless to shoot, which made him feel paralysed as the three entities re-entered the object, tallest first. A sort of door in the thing closed, and the object took off with a humming sound, before tilting when it reached 45m and emitting a powerful “ball of fire” and moving off at terrific speed. Two of the beings were about 1.5m tall, the other 1.75-1.8m and all three were dressed in dark clothing, with things like hoods on their heads. The object was a red inverted bowl shaped thing urmounted by a dome, and with landing legs that retracted when it took off. Though his superior officer disbelieved him, investigators considered him a reliable witness. </span><br />

The thing was emitting rays and moving very, very slowly, at times standing still and emitting a sound like an air conditioning plant.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Restaurant busboy Charles Coulter (18) was motorcycling home from work along the Corrales road when, after about 2km, he noticed a very bright light at 25 degrees elevation, 5-10 degrees to the right of the path. It was about the size of a pea at arm’s length and Charles thought it was an aircraft or helicopter landing light. He continued to the intersection about 5,2km south of the village where he turned east, the light following him. As he continued further on, the object kept pace, seeming to grow larger, At the Frontage Road on the east of the North-South Santa Fe highway, the object turned 90 degrees to the north, then another 90 degrees to the east. It continued to manoeuvre until it was hovering between the small businessmen’ airport and the mountains to the east.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Charles approached to within 135m of the thing at a crawl. He heard a sound like a hum and the air, on what had been a windy night, was very still and seemed charged with electricity. The object was now hovering only12m above the ground, 135m away. The motor cycle cut out and all the hair on his body stood on end. Then an extremely bright blue light came on from the object, with the front end of the beam reaching the ground. It reached the ground on one spot, retracted and then extended to another spot. Wherever it came into contact with the ground it obscured the terrain with its light. When it extended down onto Charles and his motorcycle he felt paralysed , was unable to let go of the handlebars and was so saturated by the light that he was unable to even see him own arms. The light then retracted back, changing into white-orange and went into an opening, which closed behind it. Charles was now able to see that this object was a sort of wedge shaped hexagon that resembled a pencil eraser with a bevelled surface. There were lights on panels on the underside and others around the perimeter. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> of the trees in the background, it was found that the disc was 28m diameter and 1.7m thick, with the lower portion curved towards the edge and with a slight bulge on the underside. In the top centre of the disc was a cupola 17m diameter and 3,5m wide. The underside had a metallic texture but the cupola was made of a strange glassy material. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Georges got the impression that someone was watching him from inside the cupola. The object appeared completely smooth, with no engine, bolts or rivets. It hovered completely silently and motionless 7-8m above one of the tanks for about 5 minutes. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Georges was very frightened because of his isolated location and did not dare to approach the thing any closer. Suddenly the object seemed to rock and cupola tilted towards him. Totally terrified Georges ran to his car and loaded his shotgun. The object then went straight backwards for about 50m, rocking through an angle of 60 degrees as it did so and then stopped again. It then shot up vertically at tremendous speed, without disturbing the leaves on the nearby trees, hovered at a very high altitude for a few moments and then moved off towards the west. Georges three dogs, which were with him, showed no reaction. </span></span><br />

The top slid back and from it emerged three dwarfs with dark skin, hair and clothes who sat on its top. One of the dwarfs seemed to communicate by telepathy “are their any pigs in that field, they are hungry”. She then saw by the dwarfs two animals covered with fuzzy hair, standing upright. She feared that these creatures were going to eat her, but the little man reassured her and told her that the incident would be like a dream.

This light cleared to reveal two figures sat in front of a sort of hooped headrest. They wore black patterened garments and black collars. One seemed much older than the other and had very wrickled skin, like than of an elephant. The other one looked much younger but was balding. John ran to get his wife but she was reluctant to take notice, so he went back upstairs to look again. He saw “older” of the figures turn around and point its finger directly at him. The other being also turned round to look at John. The object then started to glow again and retreated between the houses.

At the end of this pipe was a box about 75cm x75cm x1m, with the 1m side horizontal. The thing was very dark, like gun metal and reflected lights from the window.

It stayed for a few minutes above propane tank, about 3.5m from its original position, the box about 4.5m from the ground, the top of the object at about 13m.

Each of these was just over 30cm high and 60-90cm wide and gave off a flickering orange-red light. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rex then called the rest of the family, brother-in-law Les Harris, his sister and 14 year old niece. Mrs Harris and her daughter saw the thing at once and the girl was sent to get the police. The object then moved into the wind and then stopped beside a tree for 6 minutes, during which time Rex walked under the thing. As he did so, he heard a sound like refrigerator coming from it. After a few more minutes this noise increased considerably in volume and the object leapt about 30m. Les, who had been taking a shower, now joined them and saw this jump and heard the sound, which resembled a flock of birds. The object stopped for a moment above the tallest trees and power lines and then heard south-west at a constant 16kph, moving across and slightly into the strong wind. </span></span><br />

The light then vanished like a switch being thrown. Anna was paralysed and speechless with shock. Mr and Mrs Koos Coetzee then arrived on the scene. They had seen the same spectacle, but what Gert had interpreted as little men emerging, they had interpreted as a landing gear with lights underneath. There were numerous witnesses to the fact that some sort of brilliant light was seen near the mountains. Searches were fruitless.</span><br />

When he got up to adjust it he felt a curious sensation, and looking around, saw strange individual seated in an arm chair at the far end of the room. He was wearing a helmet like an old fashioned airman, a greenish one piece overall made of a metallic looking fabric with a black belt. On his clothing he had a devise which looked like a radio transmitter and he was wearing short boots. When the being stood he was more than 2m tall. Rey asked the being what he wanted, but the stranger did not say anything, just held his hand out. Rey grasped his hand and found that it was cold and rubbery, but was drawn to the strangers eyes, which seemed to emit a silvery light, but was unable to make out the rest of his face. When Rey sat down, the being did the same, at which Rey felt a strong feeling of well being and noticed that the pains he had suffered since a stroke two years before had ceased. When Rey got up again the being again mimicked his movements, following him into the kitchen, where Rey noticed that the gas lighter was emitting stronger sparks than usual, and felt that the refrigerator motor was abnormal. Though Rey was not frightened, he felt strangely distressed. The being seemed to walk around in the air and refused a glass of water. Back in the dining room the stranger pressed the buttons on the apparatus on his waist and an amber light appeared on it. Rey now retreated into the kitchen but the being followed him, went to the yard door, pressed further buttons and walked into the yard where he disappeared on the spot without a trace. A few days before a similar being had been seen in a nearby bar. </span><br />

He then saw lights 45m away in a paddock to his left, going on and off, slowly and silently. These were on an object resembling a “diamond with the top half cut off”, 3m tall by 1.5m wide, with red, green and purple lights in its bottom half. His radio was making a buzzing sound, even though it was turned off. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ron tried to re-start but the engine was dead, so he locked himself, afraid of the strange object.

Ron contacted a local paper and returned to the site with a reporter. They found four shallows holes in an arrow head formation on the ground, the marks being about 1m apart. </span></span><br />

He then heard a sound like that of a high powered engine, which suggested that something was passing at low altitude. This seemed to circle the area and then cut out and gave the impression of landing in the bush 3km away. Greg began ploughing again but 5 minutes later he saw a light approach the tractor and stopped again. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The light, which was like that of a car’ headlight, moved towards him at steady altitude of 3m and at a speed of 50-65kph. As it passed in front of the trees and entered the paddock, Greg saw that it was a small circular object with a concentrated light source at its centre; however the bright light that illuminated the area appeared to be radiating from the surface of the sphere and not from the central mass. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When this object was 45m away it turned smoothly until it was 18m from Greg, where it stopped and hovered, still 3m from the ground. He now saw that it was a white ball of light, which did not appear to be solid, it shape being defined by three or four vague lines 120 degrees apart on its surface. This sphere was 90cm diameter, with the central mass about 20cm diameter. While Greg sat, increasingly unnerved, the object seemed to survey him. After 5 seconds it disappeared on the spot, reappearing instantaneously behind him and then moved off. Greg fled in panic and roused a colleague to get the shotgun, but when they returned to the scene they found no traces of the thing. </span></span><br />

This light lit up the area brighter than daylight. While the men were discussing the nature of this light, they saw a similar one towards the south, near the Jachal road at about 300km altitude.

Looking up, he was amazed to see small lights moving eastward along the ravine towards their location, in a zigzag fashion at high speed. These lights seemed to be emitted by circular objects, the size of small coins, one of which passed by them at a distance of only 1m. Instead of hitting the wall of the nearby inn, the thing shot up vertically at the last moment. None of the lights hit either the wall or the trees. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Aballay now leapt to his feet but was unable to rouse his companions. Towards the south h saw an object 6-8m wide, flying slowly towards the north. The others roused themselves in time to see this object depart. It was now 0500 and they tried to get back to sleep but Vignoli alerted the others to three more objects flying rapidly south-west to north-east, the hindermost being smaller than the other two. Suddenly they saw it perform a lateral swoop and pass the others at fantastic speed. Three minutes later another object passed over. These were all discs, the larger ones being polished silver, with tiny yellow-pink lights, with a dark centre, the whole being transparent. The smaller discs had central uranium green cores. A local policeman confirmed that other people had seen silvery disks. </span></span><br />

This being had a narrow face, fixedly staring slanting eyes, with just a thin line of a mouth. He could remember no nose or ears. This being was wearing dark grey clothing like rolls joined together and on his head was a helmet, from the upper part of which a tube passed to a box on his back. As a shower of sparks shot from its underside, the object tilted slightly downwards and towards Ventura, revealing a second, identical, occupant.. On the further side were two more windows, between which was a blue and gold emblem, with a sea horse wearing a crown and some symbols (it later transpired that this was the emblem of the local football team).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Inside the cabin he could see an instrument panel. At that moment a powerful flash of light from the underside dazzled Ventura, forcing him to shield his eyes; the flash then hit the cat and went out. The object then moved forward away from the trees and it descended to about 5m above the ground, while the humming grew louder and the colour turned to bluish-green. Ventura was now able to see a small, spinning, wheel in the upper part of the cabin. The object then moved off very low to the North East, disappearing behind a small hill, colour going red, then green-blue. A sulphury smell was left in the air for a few seconds. The observation had lasted about 20 seconds. Ventura had not felt at all afraid, in fact he had offered to share his drink with the beings. The only animal affected was the cat, which ran away and did not return for 48 days, despite the fact she was still suckling her kittens. Ventura claimed various physiological symptoms (severe headache, nausea, diarrhoea, hair loss, boils on the back of his neck, watering eyes) and developed a stammer. The tops of the trees in the area were scorched. The witness later claimed that he had begun to grow a third set of teeth. Though apparently believed by the first group of investigators, a follow up by a different group revealed that this was nothing more than the hardening of the gums to be expected in a man of his age, and they expressed doubts as to the validity of at least parts of his story. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mark K (9) was playing in the snow on his family’s farm, with his brothers Albert (8) and Glen (10). While sledging down a hill behind the barn Mark heard a whistling sound and, looking up, saw, 445m to the north- west, three shiny, silvery objects. Shaped like hamburgers, arranged in step formation, the lowest5 one 6m from the ground. These things appeared to be 4.5m across and each had s row of boxes around their circumference, jutting out. All the objects were identical, except that the lower one had a red light flashing from box to box, of which there were 15 in all, and something like a black bordered cracked mirror facing the boy, giving him the impression that he was being photographed. The other two boys heard the whistle but did not see the object. They ran in to tell their mother but the objects had gone when they returned. Members of the family had numerous other low strangeness UFO experiences. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A woman was standing in
Waikanda Crescent, waiting for her daughter to come home from school,
when she observed white needle shaped object, like a pencil of smoke
in the sky, coming towards her. The thing curved across Penrith, made
a sharp right turn and descended behind houses in the bottom half of
the crescent. When she looked again she saw a white object coming
over the rooftops at rooftop level. When this thing reached the
corner of Neriba and Waikanda Crescents it dropped something like a
bent stick about 1.2m from the witness, behind the fence of a house
yard. Immediately the stick shot back into the object like a fiery
arrow, head uppermost. The main object was egg shaped, about the
length of a small telegraph pole and about 3.5m diameter. It had a
white, metallic looking surface, the only marks being two Perspex
looking windows at the front, surrounded by black metallic looking
borders. There appeared to be a metallic looking rod on the object,
pointing downwards. As the thing drew level with the witness, it
jiggled sideways until its rear end was pointing towards her. From
the centre of the object projected a pipe, held in place by spokes.
From this pipe a smoke trail pulsed out. The object then left at the
same angle as a jet. It left a smoke trail that appeared to cut off,
and the thing disappeared behind the horizon. </span></div>

thought he might have pulled off the road and went to investigate.
They found that the light came from a luminous human figure. One of
his hands was outstretched and between it and the ground a ball of
white light bounced up and down like a yo-yo. They then saw that
their car was surrounded by thousands of small lights, arranged in
rows, as far as the eye could see. The daughter who was driving
turned the car around and drove over these lights, which vanished on
impact. </span></div>

driving from Nice to Toulon after visiting his girlfriend, when near
Cuers, his radio began to fade and he became aware of an orange
sphere descending down to the road, almost on top of him. As this
glow grew closer, his engine also began to fail. When the sphere was
only 50m away he tried to brake but, as the sphere came within
15-20m, illuminating the surroundings, his car seemed to float 3-5m
above the road. The glow then suddenly vanished and the car landed
back on the road. The car was badly damaged and at an angle across
the road. There were no other vehicles in the immediate vicinity,
though they soon arrived on the scene. With the help of a tow from
another motorist he was able to recharge the battery and slowly
proceed on the journey. He found that, even with the slowing down
this journey which should have got him to his destination at 0300 had
taken him till 0600. </span></div>

Lake Saapunki only 8m above the ice. The thing was moving against the

despite the snow reducing visibility to around 300m. As the thing
passed, electric lights went out. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">After 15 minutes it
reached the house of Mauno and Martta Talala at a place called

berry bushes in their garden. Mauno hurriedly began to dress. This
light was far too brilliant for more than the occasional; glance, but
he estimated that it was 10m diameter, lighting up a small island
300m away as bright as day. Before Mauno had finished dressing, the
light disappeared and as it did so the electric light went out for a
while, but reappeared after a minute. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">When they went outside
nothing could be seen. Later that day their saw Timo drew their
attention to a spot of green ice where the snow had melted. This area
of melted snow was 6m by 3m, in which there was a pear shaped lump of
ice 2x 3.5m. The snow, the general depth of which was 40cm had melted
down to 20cm, and in the centre was an area 1.5m diameter where there
were needles of hollow ice, with a spherical formation on top. Traces
of metallic oxides were found in this green snow. Other witnesses

saw a steaming hole in the ice. The object was independently observed
by Paul M (13) who saw it as a brilliant yellow elongated solid
object, moving in a horizontal trajectory before descending to the
lake. Investigations showed that the hole was about 30m by 8m and
appeared to be caused by something melting through 7.5cm of ice.
People agreed that it had not been there the day before. Owing to the
weather conditions divers could not be sent down until spring and
then nothing was found. </span><br />

projected a beam that seemed to try and follow her as the ran to the

beam seemed to descend to the pavement in steps. The witness noticed
a peculiar sweet smell like that of some kind of lily, but there was
neither sound nor smoke. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Though the dark markings
appeared solid, the object itself the object itself appeared to be

mother, Mrs Ruth Sheffler, who also saw the object and smelt the
odour. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">There were at least four
reddish lights, three of which turned blue and the other white, as
the object shot straight up, tipping slightly and pulsating, as it
headed west and was out of sight in seconds. Before this happened the
light beam had retracted in stages in the same way as it emerged. The
three blue lights were visible after the object had gone. Ruth

about 25m or 70m. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">They turned off the car

appeared to be the size of a piper cub monoplane and was shaped
somewhat like a plane with a fuselage and slightly swept back wings
but there was no tail assembly and at the front was a large, very
bright, searchlight. The fuselage was dull grey with a cluster of
lights on its belly, the outer of which were white and constant, the
inner were red and blinking and appeared to speed up when the object
moved or accelerated. There was a muffled sound like a generator. The
object pivoted when it changed direction. When Elvis attempted to
approach the thing it turned away rapidly and silently. The second
object circled the town at low altitude. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wilbur Leppke’s two
sons, Stewart and Lyle, were doing their morning farm chores when
they spotted a lighted object in a cattle lot. When they flashes the
tractor lights on the object, its light diminished and they saw small
figures less than 60cm tall, moving outside it. The brothers also
noticed small windows on the object. They ran in to tell their
mother, who saw something in the field and called the sheriff. The
object then rose a couple of metres above the ground, hovered, tipped
on one side then sped away. The sheriff did not arrive until the
object had left. The boys’ teachers said their stories remained
consistent. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">A large number of local
residents (at least 10 calls were made to the police) saw a diamond
shaped object with a glass globe in the front, red and white lights
on either point of the diamond and two red exhausts at the centre of
the underside. Richard Williams, driving with his wife and son along
Old Rover Road saw it as liker a bat or plane, wings longer than the
fuselage, with a red exhaust at the centre of each wing and red and
white lights on the corners. The thing was about 7 or 8m long. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">As the object hovered at
30m, they could see a shadow, as if someone were moving about,
obscuring the light from its dome. The thing then took off again and
circled the town. Other witnesses included a large group of children
skating on a frozen pond, including two brothers (12, 10),
accompanied by their mother. They said that as the red crescent
passed over at low altitude it appeared to glide and then dart
forward at intervals, accompanied by musical tones that ranged from
below middle C to D sharp. </span></span><br />

home from night school, driving west, when he saw a blue light rising
from the ground to the southeast, close to the Quartermaster’s
Store. It was a cigar shaped object 90m or more long, rising at an
angle. Along its sides were bands which gave off occasional flashes
of yellowish light, giving the impression of doors opening and
closing. The object was totally smooth and emitted a faint sound.
After 15 minutes the thing assumed a vertical posture, rose slightly,
stopped, made a sharp right angled turn and then shoot out of sight
to the northwest at a 45 degree angle, disappearing in 15-20 seconds.
Two other students driving on the same road confirmed the sighting. </span></div>

(Mrs Valerie Wills and Mrs Susan Haworth-Wood) were driving between
Nienburg and Liebenau when at Oyle Hill they noticed a red glow on
the horizon to the right. At the “Five Ways” at Liebenau this
glow seemed even larger and straight ahead. It was still ahead when
they reached their destination at Pineweed Camp, so they went on to
investigate. After about 1.5km they came across a white glow in the
road, which had no apparent source of illumination. Passing through
this they found themselves on the road to Deblinghousen. There, to
their right, about 2km away, was an object shaped like a vast
inverted electric light bulb, giving off a powerful pulsating red
glow. Somewhat unnerved the women turned round to get one of the men
from the base but when they looked back the object had gone. </span><br />

Eske Juhani Sneck had just finished their work in the woods, and
Petter was switching off his motor saw he observed a metallic object,
like two saucers, one on top of the other, 5m in diameter, at treetop
height and descending. The object landed in a small clearing 15m away
on 4 landing pads about 2m long, 5-10cm thick, and the end of which
was a round plate.. During the descent a circular opening appeared in
its underside from which, on landing, a small being glided 2m to the
ground and began to approach Petter in short, very stiff, steps. It
was about 90cm tall, covered in a greenish one piece suite which
covered the face, apart from a sort of lens in the centre. It wore
mittens and boots which were an integral part of the suite, and
appeared to walk on top of the snow and not to sink into it. Petter
approached it with his motor saw. Eske was alerted by this and turned
round to the see the little man and Petter approaching each other.
The little being then turned round and headed back towards the
machine, with Petter off in pursuit. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On the top side of the machine
were three windows, 1m wide and through the one on the right hand
side three vague humanoid forms could be seen moving. The little man
then floated up towards the opening in the machine, and when Petter
grabbed it by the boot, he sustained a nasty burn on his right hand,
which forced him to let go and step back in pain. When the being was
inside the craft, the latter began to emit a slight humming sound and
to slowly take off, Petter felt a slight gust of air as it did so.
The opening closed but the landing gear remained in position as the
object vanished into the sky in 15 seconds. The incident had lasted
about 3 minutes. After the object had left they felt stiff all over
and too dazed to talk.</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The plates on the landing
gear appeared to have penetrated the full 40cm depth of the snow
cover, leaving 4 marks, 35cm across in an even square of 2m. The
being had left small circular footprints 15cm in diameter with a
stride of 20cm. The traces had disappeared when investigators
arrived, but they could see the palm, thumb and forefinger of
Petter’s right hand were burned. Petter was nervous about going
into the woods for a couple of months after the incident </span></span><br />

been lying under an olive tree, had just got up and clearly saw a
light on the ground next to a well 750m away. This, investigators
found, correlated with the presumed landing place of an object which
a group of children had seen on a curved trajectory over the town
from 1930 hours. At the site rake marks in the field had been
smoothed over a slightly flattened area 3m in diameter. </span><br />

cards were called out by a caretaker to see a red sphere, the
apparent size of the full moon, passing overhead on a curved
trajectory no more than 40m overhead. Among the witnesses were Jose
Augusto Rosendo, his wife Maria Jose and his cousin Victoria Eugenia,
who on the way to the game had seen a brilliant bell shaped light
just above a 400m peak about 2km away. Jose tried to signal this low
flying object, but its lights continued flashing in the same fashion,
20-30 seconds on, 30-40 seconds off, as it flew over in a
semi-circle. The 5-7 minute observation caused some panic among the
group. </span><br />

surrounded by 8-10 occupants dressed in green coveralls, which waved
at the boys. The object displayed red lights and a searchlight beam.
These red lights flashed in response to flashes the witnesses sent on

got closer and the young boy then became hysterical. The object then
moved away, emitting a buzzing sound, and turning on its searchlight. </span><br />

a flashing red light, Tom assumed the thing was a helicopter, and
sent the girl back in out of the cold. The object then descend down
to perhaps as low as 30m, so Tom dived back in and got another girl
from the information booth but by the time she came out the thing had

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Brian Scott (24) and a
companion were camping in the Arizona desert when they found
themselves levitates into a 60m diameter saucer shaped object. They
found themselves paralysed in a small room. Several 2.1m tall ugly
beings with sloping shoulders, crocodile scaled skin, elephant like
feet and hands with three fingers and a recessed thumb, emerged and
undressed them. The two men were taken away in opposite directions.
Scott, supported by two beings seemed to glide rather than walk
through a heavily fogged area, stopping at a door with an insignia
and flashing lights at the top and sides. When one of the beings
touched it, the door seemed to explode and they entered a brilliantly
lit room. Scott found himself, unable to move, placed against a
sloping wall. Two of the beings stood beside some sort of consoles, a
third by a pole on which there was a sort of mobile box with many
small coloured blinking lights and two intense large ones, one of
which seemed to hold his gaze, while the other probed his body. He
felt a series of uncomfortable though painless sensations, including
bleeding, urinating and feeling that his chest had been opened and
his heart taken out for a brief moment. He then felt a pull on his
head and the lights went out, followed by the lights on the box.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">He then detected an
unpleasant odour and out of the fog came a being similar to the
others but 2.7m tall. This being communicated with Scott by means of
telepathy and suggested that the beings were clones of a central
computer, which could also assume humanoid form, and were hatched in
a laboratory on the second floor of the craft. The being also claimed
they were “checking the original biological plantation on planet
Earth”, this interspersed with vague comments on philosophy, the
beings purpose and a promise to return. Scott then went on a
“telepathic trip” though time, seeing the destruction of Earth in
an atomic war, and a visit to the beings home planet, a harsh purple
hued world, surrounded by a dome, and with two suns, which planet he
sensed was a happy place. Scott was then taken from the wall and
returned to the small room, where he met his friend who looked grey
and drawn. They dressed and were floated to the ground. They could
remember nothing of the incident, which came to light when Scott was
given hypnotic regression in 1975. The friend, though located, showed
such anxiety during regression that further details could not be
obtained. Scott’s behaviour caused suspicion and he had been in
jail, but the investigators felt that not all of his story could be
discounted. </span><br />

returning home from his work at his fiancée’s father’s farinha
house and had stopped to urinate when he saw a luminous sphere that
seemed to pursue him. Jose was so afraid that he ran along a
hazardous dam path. As he did so, the 10m diameter thing, which had
blue, pink and red smoky lights, came down very low over the water,
and was screaming to be let him when he reached home. At that point
he saw the thing moving off to the west. </span><br />

NOURRANDONS, DRAGUIGNAN (VAR : FRANCE)</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Two members of a dance
band, Andre Bouchard (23) and Pierre Calafat (25), were going with
other members of the band to an isolated near Les Nourrandons, which
the two had obtained for rehearsals. As they drove up the approach
road, Pierre, who was driving, had his attention caught by a bright
light in front of and above the car, and alerted Andre. They pulled
up and then saw a round, bright, stationary object, shaped like a
lens or hemisphere, 10-15m diameter, emitting a dark red light.
Pierre turned off the lights, but fumbled with them in the process,
dimming them slowly. The object then made a rapid vertical movement
for about 15m, then a shorter, slower oblique descent, followed by a
shorter fast vertical rise and a shorter, slower oblique descent.
After these manoeuvres the object moved away on a regular oblique
descending trajectory to a vineyard about 150m away, where it halted,
swinging like a pendulum 10m above the ground. Andre and Pierre then
drove on to the house, getting to within 50m of the object, which now
had a lenticular appearance. It was 12-13m diameter, 2-2.5m high with
sharp outlines, a dark red surface, darker on the bottom than the
top, with a circular rim of clearer light, which had a scintillating
effect. On top of the object were three rotating lights, giving the
impression the thing was turning on its axis. The thing hovered in
complete silence for two minutes and then “rolled up” and shot
away towards Flayosc. Pierre felt a sense of oppression during the
experience and was still pale when the other members of the group,
who had been travelling separately, arrived and was unusually tired
for the rest of the week. His watch subsequently began to stop
repeatedly. Traces were found in a field next to the vineyard in
September but these depressed areas could not have had any connection
with the March incident. </span><br />

glowed red, lit up the countryside and then turned white and came at

driving his fiancee Marion Lang home to Pittsburg from Evans City
down an unlit country road, when, just past the Callery Chemical
Plant, Marion saw, though the open car window an object flying along
90m away and drew Dennis’s attention to it. It was flying low at
the same speed as the car and glowing yellow-white, following the
contours of the hills to the right. As they stopped, it shot from the
hills, across the road at 30m altitude, disappearing to a point
source of light in the sky. Less than a minute late the object
returned to the point over the hills then appeared to drop behind
them. It was shaped like two steep bowls placed rim to rim, the upper
section more pronounced than the lower one, and the whole object was
luminous. Dennis decided to follow the object and turned down a dirt
track. After travelling for about 400m they saw the object about 70m
away, hovering a couple of metres or so above the ground on the other
side of a ploughed field and close up against some woods, There was
no-one in on the farm. They noticed a strange fresh odour as if it
had been raining, though it had been dry for at least 3 days. They
could see the object surrounded by mist from marshes behind the wood.
It appeared to be around 7.5-9m diameter and 6m high. As they
watched, a shaft of white light shot up from the top of the object.
In the upper bowl there were several vertical rectangular windows,
with three round windows in the lower bowl. From both sets of windows
a reddish flickering light could be seen. The couple then noticed two
large figures silhouetted, one in each of the upper windows. They
estimated that these beings must have been at least 3m tall. The
couple then drove away in terror. Marion was still pale and trembling
when she was interviewed. The object was soundless and no traces were
found. </span><br />

and a friend, Ronald D (11), who were standing about 3-5m away. All
three saw the object rapidly descend from the east, slowing down as
it got lower. It was a silvery egg shaped object with large square
windows and sides that seemed to jut out from the bottom. From its
rear came flames that lost intensity as four legs, with pads of their
bottoms, came out. At between 60-90m altitude the thing seemed to
wobble, bank like an aircraft and then, legs descending, it came down
into a gully beside the railway.</span><br />

10 year old daughter were going home in the dark, in a taxi driven by
a Greek immigrant, when, passing Roberts Park, they saw an object
hovering over a floodlit field where some youths were playing soccer.
These floodlights seemed to prevent the youths seeing the object,
which was football shaped, with a grey metallic surface. It had three
transparent openings and a transparent dome on top. From the interior
of the object came a light which seemed to them like “the saddest
blue imaginable”. The object then tilted downwards, revealing three
humanoids more than 1.8m tall. One of the beings then pointed down at
the taxi, then turned towards a lighted rectangular area. The woman
asked the taxi driver to stop but he accelerated away, and when they
reached their home, he drove away without collecting his fare, he was
that afraid. </span><br />

the window. They rushed to look and saw, about 100m away and 15-20m
above the ground, below the treetops, an object travelling SW-NE at
between 60-80 kph. The thing was a disc with a flat bottom, a dome on
top, 10m diameter, 2-3m thick, with a surface that looked like
aluminium or steel. From the dome, which was 1.5m above the rim of
the disc, came a revolving, shimmering cone of green light, which
performed a revolution every 5-10 seconds. Spurts of flame came from
the underside through a series of small openings. These were small,
green,” puffs of fire” 30-40 x 10-15 cm, which were emitted in
regular intervals. When first seen the thing presented dome first,
but it turned so they faced the underside before the object
disappeared behind trees. During this observation the family felt an
extraordinary sensation which they found impossible to describe and
the little girl was so shaken she was afraid to go out afterwards. </span><br />

noticed that the figures seemed to be shrouded in a grey mist and

the water, which strip seemed to light the way for the men to
re-enter a red sphere, which was the source of the light behind the

the aerodrome it gathered height and then took off. </span><br />

to investigate and saw a red luminous thing on the ground, apparently
standing on legs. There was a yellow patch on it. The thing was
horizontal, elliptical, 7-10m long and more than 4m high, standing on
three 1m high legs. Angela watched the thing for 4-5 minutes but then
became uneasy cycled off towards home. She cycled lowly, keeping
looking back over her shoulder. She was able to see the thing take
off slowly and obliquely in a spiral motion, with its legs retracting
As this happened the buzzing sound increased. The object, which had
appeared elliptical on the ground now appeared circular and to be
emitting heat. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">She later saw two holes

snail hunting. At the Natallana/Carrabal intersection, they saw,
for3-4 minutes, a light, which made various manoeuvres above the
Santa Cruz meadow, 2km away. They went down the Carrabal road for
about 200m; they encountered, just before the Montealegre-Amoudia
highway, a white light, apparently coming straight towards them on
the narrow road. Fear a collision, E. M. stopped. After a few seconds
they realised that actually the light was hovering 1.5m above the
Teruelo Hill, about 60m beyond the highway ahead. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Keeping watch on the
light, which illuminated the top of the hill, the continued on down

by about 2m and turned, so that they saw it had two small, orange,
triangular lights on its sides. These ceased to be visible when it
took off at speed towards the north-east. Just before the light left
they could make out a dark body behind it. By the end of this 15
second episode the car had almost reached the end of the highway. The
three men soon reached the “Prado de las Cadenas” and got out to
gather snails, but soon after they were forced back to their car by
rain. They saw the clouds light up and then a yellowish-white light
appeared which slowly came down over the car. This episode lasted 30

object just 12 m away, hovering 3m above the farmland to the right of
the highway. A large white light source in its middle made it hard to
distinguish the dark outline of the object at first, but it seemed to
be about 3m wide and 1 m tall. Near each end was a small yellowish
light. There was no sound. Frightened, S. M. turned the car round,
running into the ditch and damaging the car, before he sped away.
Meanwhile the object was moving in the opposite direction. It left no
traces. </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A young boy was camped
with his German shepherd dog and two friends outside a small rural
community near Fredericksburg. He stayed in the camp with his dog
when his two friends went off to investigate the sound of a car horn
in the distance. Walking through the large open field the boy had a
sensation of being followed. At first he saw nothing, but looking
round again, he observed a glowing object located over a pond in the
field. The object moved slowly towards the boy, stopping near him and
settling to the ground, legs extending from its underside as it did
so. After the object had landed, a door opened straight down towards
him and a huge figure of shiny with long arms and carrying a sort of
glowing box, emerged. , looked around then started towards the
witness, who was now crouching down in the long grass. The dog
snarled at the humanoid and began to approach it, whereupon the being
turned around in a stiff bouncing fashion and returned to the craft.
The opening closed, and about 10 minutes later the machine lifted
off. The boy was found in a state of shock by his two companions. All
three left the area hurriedly. On or about this night, two of the
boys sisters were driving home from a night class along their long,
winding driveway, when they became aware of a humming sound and red
light apparently coming from above the car. The car’s radio, engine
and lights all died. The girls could see a glowing white disc shaped
object hovering about 15m above their tree lined driveway. After
about 5 minutes they were able to start the car and drive the
remaining few metres to their home, the object following them.
Alerted by the sound of the car racing up the drive two brothers ran
out in time to see the object follow the car, hover over it for a few
minutes then drift away out of sight over the horizon. </span><br />

home to Wilmot on the Cethana Dam road, when climbing uphill to the

noticed a flickering reflection outside the driver’s side window.
Winding it down, Riley saw a round, coal red object pacing his
vehicle 35-40m away at 30m altitude. Over the next 2.5km he
accelerated from 40-70kph but the object kept pacing him at various
distances, at one time coming within 15m of the road. As Riley
reached the top of the hill the object pulled slightly ahead. He
pulled up at the intersection and was able to get a better look at
the thing. It resembled a tyre 9m in diameter with no visible
markings. It was now some 100-150m away, was soundless and,
progressing in a bobbing motion, moved over the hill towards Wilmot.
Riley continued on his journey, and after he had gone 1.2km, the
object reappeared to his right, crossed the road ahead of him and
paced him for a short distance from behind some tall trees. It
finally disappeared down a deep gully to his left. The sighting
lasted about 15 minutes, during which time he had covered 3km. At one
point a cast a bright reflection on a large gum tree. </span><br />

on the first floor of a building in the calle Pedro Molina when they
saw a strange object high in the sky above the military barracks some
distance away. Walter went to get binoculars, while Julio continued
his observation. The bright, pear grey object descended from an
altitude and distance of 1km with a rocking motion and at dizzying
speed, to eye level. It then emitted a cloud of vapour, which
surrounded it, before darting away. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">It then returned at lower
altitude, some 70m away, at first incandescent orange and then pearly
grey. It then began a gliding motion before hovering, vibrating
slightly. At this point Julio began to feel very alone, and became
entranced with a sort of “viewer”, a short bell shaped cylinder
resembling s telescope eyepiece, which seemed to be made of old
bronze. While Julio was looking at this detail the object moved away
and then a few seconds later reappeared only 40m away. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The object was biconvex,
with a central ring on which this “eyepiece” was situated. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The object then began to
perform strange rocking motions and Julio had the distinct impression
that some sort of intelligence was directing it. The object then shot
back 1km and rose to an altitude of 1.5km, giving, as it did so, the
impression of moving effortlessly. It then moved away in a strange
dancing motion that Julio was unable to follow clearly and had
disappeared before Walter returned. </span></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Housewife, Mrs Eunice Rose
(36) was driving home to Bletchley from visiting friends at Odstone,
in her 1956 Austin A30 on the A447. 800m from the junction at
Belcher’s Bar she observed, through her windscreen, a large glowing
light some distance ahead. At first she thought it was a lorry coming
towards her, but when nothing passed she wondered if it was a car
stuck in a ditch with its lights pointing up. However she came across
nothing until she turned right for Hinckley at Belcher’s Bar, when
after driving about 100m her transistor radio faded and died, and she
saw that her car headlights had dimmed and that the car was losing
power. At the same time she became aware of a large light to the
left. The car finally spluttered to a halt though the engine kept
spluttering over. Eunice now realised that the whole interior of the
car was being lit up, and becoming progressively more illuminated as
the light moved overhead and then darkened as it moved away on the
other side. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">She saw that the light was
in the form of a flat moonlike disc about 12m above the ground. It
was about 15m in diameter. She was surprised to see that there was no
light beam projected from the light and that it did not light up any
other part of the landscape as it passed over, as it had done with
her car. This disc moved, smoothly, slowly and soundlessly. When it
was about 100m away, over a field to her right, the headlights and
transistor came back to life again, and the engine began to work
properly after a couple of tries. She realised that the same record
was still being played on the radio, starting when the set went off,
and ending as it came back on. As the light passed overhead, the hair
on the back of her head stood up, and she had the sensation of time
standing still. The light was disappearing in the distance as she
drove off. A teenage boy driving with his family near Hinckley saw a
light high in the sky at about the same time, and the 10 year old son
of the people she had been visiting had seen a light through his
bedroom window. </span></span><br />

up and down and side to side. As it approached they could see that it
was a glowing rectangle which seemed to be attached to the top of a
dark object with a shiny surface. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">When about 90m away and at
treetop level the object flipped over, revealing a round bottom with
7 to 8 diffuse white lights spaced evenly around the perimeter. The
thing then back off at terrific speed and was soon lost to sight. As
the group sat discussing what had happened, the object reappeared
with the same erratic movements and then steaked at them, stopping
100m short, right over the opposite shoreline. Warren thought he
could see the light from openings reflected on the water and they had
the uncomfortable feeling of being watched. The object then
streaked away again. </span></span><br />

moon, Miss Esther Clappison was attracted by a light shining in
through her window, and, accompanied by her dog, went to the porch.
At the intersection of two roads 200m from her home was a rectangular
lighted object. The end of the object facing her seemed to be open,
exposing the interior and a white opaque light that lit up the road.
The rectangle appeared to be 2.5m high and 1.5m wide. In the interior
she could see two beings and an instrument panel, which one of the
beings seemed to be trying to conceal with his arm. A third being was
outside the object, about 6m from it, stooping down to gather samples
of rock. One of the men in the machine was signalling to this man
outside as well as his companion inside. These beings were no more
than 1.5m tall wearing hoods which had keyhole eye openings and baggy
olive green suits, tight at the neck, and with padded joined mittens
on their hands. They had thin bodies, very narrow wrists, and no
elbow or knee joints were visible. Esther was unable to see their
feet. Esther made the move to go closer but her dog, which had been
cowering and trembling, just pushed her back. She then went to call
her brother, with whom she lived, but when she looked through the
window the object had gone. An area of blackened vegetation was found
at the site. </span><br />

noticed a strange light to the south-east, which came from an about
30m above a paddock, 100m away. This object had a squat ball shape,
with a dull silvery surface. Around its top, which gave the
impression of being a glass dome, there was a white haze. The object
appeared to be 4.5m high and 6m across. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Purcell made no move and
after about 5 minutes the object moved about 270m down the paddock,
directly in front of him, but still behind the pine trees that
bordered the camp. As it moved, an orange glow underneath grew
stronger and a rainbow coloured vapour shot from the underside
towards the ground. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">When the object came to a
halt, the vapour died back to an orange glow. The object hovered,
silently for 3 minutes and then, with another burst of exhaust, rose
slightly and moved another 90m from Purcell before hovering again.
After a further three minutes the object began to climb, assuming a
discoid aspect as it did so. It then gave a flash and disappeared at
high speed. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A 19 year old youth and a
friend were walking through Delamere Forest while hitch hiking, when
they saw an electric blue light moving erratically in the trees and
making a buzzing sound. The friend fled, but the witness walked
towards it, and then next remembered walking back in the opposite
direction, the light moving off towards a structure resembling a
garage. They went back to the spot but there was no garage there. The
youth hallucinated for some hours after this event. He reported a
large number of other anomalous experiences. </span></span><br />

Its head was down, its shoulders were hunched and it walked with a
peculiar clumping gait. Jim fired twice at the creature’s back, at
which the thing threw up its arms and utterer a shrill inhuman scream
as it continued running away. The pair quickly left and never hunted

talking to each other in an animated fashion. Suddenly a shiny object
appeared in the sky and descended rapidly to within 60cm of the
ground. It was a bell shaped object, about 30m wide, with a turret on
top. It changed colour orange-blue-white. When it hovered, floating
in the air, it turned through almost 180 degrees. Suddenly a small
parabolic staircase came down from its base allowing the two men from
the Mustang to enter the craft. When the stairway was drawn in, the
object dipped to its left, then vanished into the sky at an angle at
great speed. </span></span></div>

away. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Suddenly,
after 10 minutes or so, the object shot towards them, stopping about
90m away and began descending to 30m. The driver, in terror, leapt
back into the station wagon, knocking the handbrake off, forcing the
three planters to jump and block it before it fell over a precipice.
The object hovered for about 5 minutes, so that they could see it was
circular, about 8m diameter, with two tapering wings on either side.
In the centre of the fuselage was a symbol like those used by the UK
Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. This circular area was illuminated
and cast a fluorescent glow. The wings were also illuminated but not
as brightly, they each had two fins. The object appeared to be made
of some sort of translucent material like fibre glass but no
occupants were visible inside. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">After
hovering for a few minutes, the object took off to the south-east at
45 degrees, the two wings being withdrawn into the cabin as it did
so. On its underside, the witnesses saw three red lights, which
dimmed when the object was stationary but which lit up like a ball of
fire when it took off. Two objects like footballs were seen in the
sky at 0200hrs. The driver saw the object again at 0300hrs. Perhaps
as many as 200 people saw one or other of these objects. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mr
F Laisne, a 32 year old building worker was in his garden, on this
overcast day with fleecy clouds, when a sharp whistling sound made
him look towards his house. To his surprise he saw a great luminous
ball travelling at 30kph just 8m above the house. It was a milky
white colour, with flashes of green, flattened on top and bottom and
with a slight pitch in its movements. The thing was just over 2m in
diameter and was surrounded by a halo 50cm thick. From the under
portion powerful green light beams were pouring down, illuminating
the ground below the object, despite the daylight. The thing was
soundless and was not rotating. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">It
flew on over and past Lasine’s house until it came to a large
poplar tree, where it stopped for a moment just a few metres from the
tree and then suddenly gave out a series of blinding flashes of light
in all directions. As it did so a branch of the poplar snapped off
and fell to the ground. The object then climbed rapidly to the top of
the tree, its light blinked a few times and it accelerated away
towards Notre Dame-de-Lorette. As the globe passed over the electric
railway, the rails seemed to undulate and give off sparks. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Laisne
found that the branch, 2.5m long, 15cm thick, had been charred and
that the grass at the front of the tree was yellowed over an area of
several square metres. Laisne, who was 60m from the object’s line
of flight, felt no ill effects. Cattle in a nearby field were
terrified and his dogs kept barking throughout the sighting and fro
10 minutes afterwards. Laisne found that all three of his alarm
clocks had stopped but they worked all right when he started them
again </span></div>

potato farmer’s wife on the St Dominic Road was looking to the west
out of her living room window when she saw, about 600m from the
house, and above two trees, five huge red lights that appeared to
revolve around a dark solid body. They resembled no known vehicle,
equipment or anything she had seen before. She called her husband but
he was in the shower. Going back to the window she saw the lights
were still there. As she watched, they separated. They were bright
red and about 4.5m above the trees. The lights then went out. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
next day her husband, working in the fields found traces about 540m

perfect circle, 3.3m diameter. 135 m to the east, on the other side
of the trees was another identical circle. </span></div>

orange light in the back pig paddock. It was glowing too brightly to
be either a fire or a row of truck lights. It looked like a ring of
small lights, illuminating the trees 100m away. This light grew in
intensity until it became as bright as the sun and hurt their eyes to
look at it. After 5 minutes these lights merged into one huge light
that gradually faded. The family returned to the farm pale and
shaken. Police were called and when they arrived they were unable to
call back to base because of an unusual amount of static on the

Eddelbuttel had noticed an unusual amount of static on their TV. The
police searched but found nothing unusual. </span></span></div>

a petrol station north of Mt Larcom some 30km beyond the bridge. The
station was closed, but after they had driven 50m further on, Ben saw
a green light at treetop height, through his rear-view mirror. They
felt that they were travelling straight, even though the roads in
this area were winding, and that they kept repeating the same words
over and over. Suddenly they saw a sort of carousel of lights above
and to the left. The next thing they encountered was the Port Alma
road sign some 65km north of the river. They next found themselves at
a railway crossing outside Rockhampton. When they reached town they
felt that something strange had occurred, and they discovered they
had had done the one-two hour trip in 40 minutes. A petrol attendant
discovered a thin film of odourless oil over the car. Two circular
marks were found on each side of the bonnet. A motorist who had
passed them before the river arrived later with no idea how they
could have passed him. Attempts at hypnotic regression were

members of a pop group; Kosta Verus, Stojan Klatoviski and Milorad
Dusanovic were standing outside their car as they thought scorpions
had got inside, when they saw what looked like a spotlight with a
strong directed beam of light and heard a sound. The light and sound
grew more intense and they saw a body, first appearing to be a square
and then elliptical, about 10m diameter, come to ground level in or
beyond the forest that lined the side of the Ohrid-Bitolj road and
they could see its rays coming through the trees. The thing then
projected a very strong beam of light, panicking them out of an
original plan to go and investigate. They drove off and as they did
so they heard a sound like thunder and saw the object flying above
the river Noselska. Milorad’s wife confirmed that he, at least, was
very shaken when he arrived home. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This
object was independently observed by an administrator of the Ohrid
Museum, Mr N H, who was driving with his wife and her friend in the
area. They saw a luminous body and flashes of light like lightning.
Their radio stopped playing and they saw an intense light flying
through the air at great speed before it stopped at an altitude of
20m. The thing was 10-15m long and was lowering silvery wings from
its edges. These 10m long wings were retracted into the body when the
object landed. The object now had the appearance of a silver green
sphere, which began to glow. N H wanted to investigate, despite the
protestations of the two women, but as he got outside the car he was
stunned by a ray of light directed towards him. The two women dragged
him into the car and he recovered sufficiently to drive away. The
light appeared to follow the car, perhaps as far as Openica, where
the radio began to function again. </span><br />

move, pulsating slowly from side to side, which frightened the girls

to west parallel to the road and go out of sight behind some woods.
After about 10 minutes the thing reappeared, circled and flew over
their truck towards Westminster. It was 15m below the top of the WITR
radio tower. The object appeared to be 6m long, with a flashing light
on top and eight smaller lights on its body. As it passed over the
truck the family heard a whine like an air conditioner. The object
seemed to them to be following the lightning around “as if hunting
for something” </span></span><br />

worker Mervyn Boyce (51) was driving home alone to Kadina after
visiting his mother in Wallaroo, when about 5km before Kadina, he
became aware of the area being lit by an orange glow. He looked
around to see if it came from the lights of a car behind, but could
see nothing. At that point his engine and lights failed, and could
not be re-started. He got out to see what was the matter and heard a
sort of buzzing sound. Looking up he saw hovering directly above his
car at about 50m altitude, a dark oval object, about 10m across, with
three or four windows along the side, which emitted an orange light
that illuminated the surroundings, along with two red and one green
light. The thing hung there for 2-3 minutes then moved off over a
racecourse track and away to the south-east. Before it disappeared
Boyce got back into his car, and found that engine and lights now
worked. When he got home he called out his wife, and she saw, in the
north eastern sky, two red and one green light. A woman living near
the location reported that the infra red lamp her husband was using
had failed about the same time. </span></span><br />

and hovered over the science of the Catholic University. Around the
object was a band of orange light, in which she thought she saw
portholes, behind which figures were moving. Two smaller replicas of
this thing then emerged from behind it. The large object then
directed a beam of blue light toward her, nearly blinding her when it
hit her. She had to hang onto the back of the settee on which she was
sitting as she felt she was being drawn into the thing. She felt
unable to cry out while the beam was on her, something that happened

by the time he came down, the object was moving away, back and forth

went into the next field about 45m away, where it hovered below the
level of the treetops. It had no visible exhaust or wings, but red
and green lights were visible on it. It hovered silently for about an
hour, illuminated by red lights. It then rose into the air (accounts
differ as to whether it made a noise or not) and went into a field
beyond the woods. Lottie had wanted to investigate but Betty was too

Sundberg was in the woods above Foyers Bay, trying to take a short
cut to the power station construction site, when he suddenly saw an
unusual machine standing in a clearing 70m away. It was shaped rather
like a grey-black cigar 10m long, with a curved standing potion at
one end, which gave it the profile of a huge smoothing iron, complete
with handle. Three beings then appeared out of the nearby bushes.
They were about 1.75-1.8m tall and dressed in divers’ suits. They
stood together for a moment or two, as if communicating. The witness
thought they were divers from the Foyers Project, but they then
entered the machine through an opening in the upper part of the
curved portion. When all were aboard the object rose silently and
vertically to 15-20m, whereupon it moved away rapidly and almost
horizontally over the hill, then appeared to be descending again.
Sunberg claimed he had overcome a strange and taken a photograph of
the beings entering the object. The whereabouts of this photograph
were unclear. </span></span><br />

at this point. Also under hypnosis H recalled how the object floated
over the car and communicated with him, mainly banalities, and said
they would meet again. Though R only had a light jacket on he felt
warm. H drove R home and then parked in front of his own house. He
then had a long vision ((recalled under hypnosis) of being in a large
room with a screen like a TV screen and an instrument panel. In the
room was the brain and several tall, thin, grey skinned humanoids
with thin eyes, lipless mouths, flat noses and long narrow fingers
and toes. These humanoids were hairless and moved in a robotic
fashion. The entities seemed to convey warnings about nuclear
weapons. . The experience was terminated, as it had begun by a
buzzing sound. In later sessions, Hodges claimed that “they” had
placed a “translator” inside his head, and other strange
statements. He had a previous mental breakdown. </span></span><br />

light. Despite its brilliance it did not light up much of the

minutes, they called the police. An officer arrived in time to see

east and finally disappeared. The strange sound continued through the

thing and below them a convex row of small round lights. This object
was hovering and as the witnesses passed the rise of the hill, a
bright moon was revealed, which illuminated its shape. They could see
that the thing had neither blades nor wings. They stopped the car but
did not turn off the engine because an extremely large, bright red
light, shone a beam from the top of the cone for about 5 seconds. The
witnesses became frightened and drove away as rapidly as they could.
The object was still visible through the rear window until the trees
and descent obstructed the view. The location was near the Clee Hill

machine the size of a bus landed near a disused artesian well 350m

got out. They were of normal human appearance, with blue uniforms,
but no head cover. They advanced in formation, disappearing into a
natural hollow in the field. Five or six of them, who Juan thought
were their chiefs, remained behind on one of the slopes, looking at
him. They got out something like a lantern and shone it at him as he
hid behind the hut. When Juan showed himself again, they again shone
this light at him. It was now quite dark, so the now thoroughly
scared Juan went to Anznalcollar, being followed to almost the
outskirts of the town by two of the beings with their lanterns.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Agricultural
worker Osvaldo s; Annunzio (19) was visiting his fiancée when he
noticed something like a very bright star in the sky. As he watched
the stationary object, it suddenly began to fly over the countryside
at dizzying speed and low altitude, stirring up whirlwinds of dust.
When Osvaldo tried to take his hands out of his pockets he found that
he could not move. The cows in the surrounding meadows seemed to
change colour and did not resume their usual colour until the thing
had departed. After it was gone Osvaldo was able to put his hands to
his face and it felt burnt. After this experience he suffered from
persistent migraines. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Engineer
Sten Sure Ceder was driving home from visiting a friend when, near
the crossroads between Albyvagen and the E4, he noticed a strong
light some 200m away. It resembled the northern lights, with
vertically beams that shone to the ground from an estimated height of
10-50m. As Sten approached the crossroads he looked back and saw that
there were similar beams behind the car at a distance of 10m and he
realised that he was in a circle of beams, perhaps 200m in diameter.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Immediately
after this he felt a force from behind which pushed his car forward,
even though he had put his foot hard down on the brakes. Everything
surrounding him then became pitch black. This blackness seemed to be
a mass of dense blue-black smoke, such that he was unable to see the
headlights of his car. Sten turned left in his usual direction and
when he saw the lights again he found that he was on the E4 about
200m from the crossroads. At the same time he noticed a large,
shapeless black mass that began to rise from the ground, outlining
itself against the horizon. He drove north at 80kph keeping the
object, which perhaps reached the same angular diameter as the moon,
in sight. The thing crossed the E4 about 1km beyond the crossroads.
Now on Sten’s left hand side, it was outlined against the sky, like
an angular kite, obscuring stars as it passed. This object
disappeared below the horizon before Sten reached home. The
observation lasted about 5 minutes. Other witness saw the light and a
neighbour saw a dark object earlier in the evening. </span></span><br />

G (11) was bicycling on his father’s land 6.5km south of Wayne
City, near the spot known as Starvation Corner, when suddenly an
object appeared over the woods at the North West corner of the field.
The thing appeared to be about to land and came within 6m of the
ground. It then suddenly pivoted, rose and took off at an altitude of
about 30m towards a neighbour’s house. It was about 60m from Kimmy,
who yelled out to his neighbour’s son Rodney. Rodney and his father
also saw the object as it passed over their home, and Rodney’s dad
rushed inside for binoculars. The object was shaped like a boomerang
with a 15-18m wingspan, with a centre section 2.5m tall. The object
looked metallic but there were no openings or propellers and it left
neither sound nor a trail. It was observed for 10 minutes, and as it
vanished into the sunset it appeared to be red on one side and blue
on the other. Kimmy was very frightened and refused to go outside or
sleep on his own. Several other people saw a boomerang shaped object
high in the sky. </span></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Paulo
Caetano Silveira (27), a typewriter mechanic, was driving home to
Itaperuna from Carangola, when, 3km before Tombos, he saw through his
driving mirror that he was being followed by an object that was
closing on him. The object then began flying around the car at a
distance of 3m or less. It was a red ellipse 2.5m wide, 3 m high
moving about 50cm above the ground. It then became white with a
bluish sheen. The car then lost speed and came to a halt, and Paulo
was unable to get it going again while the object circled around. The
object then took off after 3-4 minutes and the car raced back into
life so quickly that it stalled. Paulo restarted it and drove on to
Tombos, where he reported the matter to the police, who gave him a
drink of sugary water and advised him to spend the night in town.
Paulo decided to continue however and soon the object was following
again. he stopped again at Natividade, where the pump attendant
comforted him by telling him it was Martians and so say his prayers. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
object continued to follow at higher altitude, until he reached
Serraria, where he saw a dark shape, he first thought was a large ox,
blocking the road. When he got within 10m of the object, it lit up
all red, and his car seemed propelled to the shoulder of the road,
where it stopped. Paulo saw that the object was the disk, the colour
of which changed from red to brilliant white. There was a high
pitched whistling sound and he was struck by a beam of light from an
opening in the object, from which emerged three small forms, about 1m
tall. They approached slowly with unbending legs and slow dragging
movements which gave the impression that they were floating in the
air. Paulo did not have the energy to run away, and the car door
opened without anyone touching it, when the beings were 10cm away. He
then found himself walking towards the object, accompanied by two of
the beings, one on either side of him. This object was somewhat
larger than a Volkswagen car, and had windows in addition to the
openings. Paulo and his two companions were scooped up into this
machine by a contraption like a shovel, and he found himself in a
room, encompassed by a beam of yellow light coming from the flat,
horizontal ceiling 2.5m above his head. About 30cm above his head was
a plank, 1m wide, on which another crew member was walking to and
fro. Three windows, 50cm wide and 10cm high could be seen in the
hexagonal cabin. On a wall panel there were lights of various
colours. The yellow light prevented him from seeing very well, but he
had the sensation of beings moving around him, and heard noises. </span></span>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He
then had the sensation of being in a rapidly descending lift, and,
with a whistle, the door opened and two more beings led him out. He
was near to collapse, and they practically dragged him to the
shoulder of the road, where he passed out. When he came to his
senses, he saw the machine rising slowly and obliquely to a height of
100m, then travelling rapidly away. After stopping a couple of
motorists, he was able to drive slowly home, escorted by another car.
There he was examined at a first aid centre. He described the beings
as wearing light blue clothes, grey, funnel shaped helmets, face
masks which hid their eyes and noses and coarse, blue rectangular
shoes, pointed at the front and their shoulders seemed hunched up
around their arms. Their chins were pointed, and they made no sound
when they opened and closed their mouths. Paulo later claimed other
contacts (see below) </span></span><br />

sitting perfectly motionless. The party walked to the base of the
cliff but were unable to ascend it and so returned to their car. The
object never moved at all. Next day Joe went to a spot directly above
the ledge where the strange object had rested, but the thing had now
gone. As Joe clambered down the ledge he encountered six oval marks,
about 15cm long, spaced 75cm apart in a single file line up the

phenomenon. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
thing came closer and was almost floating on the water by the beach.
It was a blue aluminium coloured object almost a block across. On it
were many openings, out of which came strong red, sky blue and white
lights, which blinded the witnesses, forcing them to cover their
heads with their hands. As the thing grew brighter they could see it
was an oval, raised higher in the centre. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">They
signalled to the thing with their flashlights and walked towards it.
They heard no noise but it made a kind of vertical vibration. When
they tried to back their truck away, they found the its engine and
radio would not work., while a beam from the object seemed to follow
them. Diocadio walked towards the object, which then began to move
slowly away. Though it moved away it was visible out to sea until

driver Benedito Miranda (40) was travelling from Itaperuna to his
home in Cataguases, when he stopped his car at the bridge over the
river Carangola to mend a fault. As he started off again he noticed a
round object in the middle of the road, blocking his way. On
approaching it, he saw two tiny men only 35cm tall emerged from it,
and take from their belts big round torches which projected a beam of
blue and red light towards him. When it struck, Miranda felt
levitated like a bird and the stronger the beam the higher he rose
until he reached a height of 50m. He was paralysed and unable to call
out. After about 5 minutes a car approached on a nearby road at which
the beam gently let him down into his car. The beings re-entered the
craft which took off at incalculable speed. After about 30 minutes he
recovered his senses and reported the matter to the police at
0200hrs. However, by the next morning, when he came round in his car,
back at the bridge, he had no recollection of this incident or of
having reported it to the police, though he accepted, when shown the
incident book, that it was indeed his signature on the deposition.
His clothes were covered in red mud, his eyes were bloodshot and his
left arm was cut, numb and weak. </span></span><br />

was afraid he might have hit the man but saw nothing. He then walked
to the front of his lorry, where, in his headlights, he saw a being
about 2.1-2.4m tall with large red, staring eyes, 20-30cm apart,
which extended around the side of his head. From his head came two
pipes which led to a pack on his back. Delman got back into his cab
and sounded his horn several times, whereupon the humanoid leapt
about 1m into the air, ran across the road and jumped the hedge. Two
other lorries arrived on the scene and Delman and three other drivers
and a driver’s mate saw a disk shaped object take off from the
field the entity had entered. The incident was reported to the
police. At around this time a similar being was reported on several
occasions by teenagers in the Wantage area. </span></span><br />

teenagers following a stream in a wooded area near Fairfield came
across four hairy humanoids about 75m away. The largest was about
2.5m tall with wide shoulders, barrel chest and with a sort if round
peak to its head. Another creature was sat on the ground, the third
lying on the stream bank and the fourth standing in the stream. They
were all black with paler faces. </span></span><br />

Axel Curry Jnr and his wife were driving towards Anapolis from
Brasilia when, as they were approaching the town, he noticed that the
engine was sounding odd and that their car was doing over 160kph even
though he had not accelerated. Then an enormous ball of light passed
in front of them at a distance of 300m. It passed to and fro in front
of the car several times, causing a change in the car’s speed on
each pass. The thing resembled a Mexican hat and disappeared just
before they reached the Highway Patrol Post. Curry became so nervous
that he refused to travel at night in the future. He was regarded as
a serious sort of person who would not perpetrate a hoax. </span></span><br />

50cm above the ground. Inside were some little men who pointed a
small box in his direction. After standing facing each other for
about 10 minutes, Paulo began to feel his head aching. After the

Eileen Muir was returning to the Weldon Caravan site when she heard a
high pitched whistling sound and observed a bright white light
(described as having an apparent length of 2.5cm at arm’s length).
It was a spherical object that hovered overhead, rotating in an
anti-clockwise direction, for about 2 minutes and then disappeared.
Later that evening at 2030 she again heard a high pitched whistle
and, going to her caravan door, saw a huge, almost circular gaseous
mass, which seemed to cover half the sky. It descended from 80
degrees elevation to 50 degrees, at which point Eileen noticed one
red and one green light in the mass, the whole of which, but most
especially the top, glowed brilliant white. After watching for about
a minute, Eileen went to a neighbour, Mrs Carmen Grey, who also saw
the object and called the police. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Returning
to her caravan, Eileen saw the object still in the same position, but
after another minute it seemed to dissolve into a heavy cloud of
white vapour, which slowly dispersed. Dogs at the site were barking
all the time and during the sighting, winch lasted 4-5 minutes a
neighbour reported interference on her TV. When the police called,
Eileen felt that the object might be still in the next field and
asked police to investigate, but they declined. </span><br />

flashed a torch in the direction of the lights (the normal procedure
for such matters). No reply was received but about four minutes later
a light appeared, which seemed to bounce along the marsh. This thing

finished at the same point and set off again at right angles to its
former course. </span><br />

Johnson (16) was tending the sheep in their pen with his dog, on his
father’s farm 800m north and east of Delphos. He looked up when his
mother called, then heard a rumbling sound as an object suddenly
became illuminated. This object was slightly domed at the top and
base, with a slight bulge at the centre, illuminated by
multi-coloured light that covered its entire surface. The thing was
hovering 60cm above the ground, and there was a bright glow between
the base and the ground. This light contained steady blue, red and
orange elements, and was so bright that it hurt Ronald’s eyes to
look at it. The object was about 3m high, 2.7m diameter, and was
rather less than 25m away. The dog was quiet but the sheep were
bellowing. The object continued to make a sound like the vibration of
an old washing machine. Then , after a few minutes, the light at the
base grew brighter and expanded, and the thing ascend at considerable
speed at an angle, the sound changing to a high pitched whine as it
did so. It cleared a nearby shed by over a metre. As the sound
changed Ronald suddenly became blinded. When he regained his sight
after a few minutes, Ronald saw the object in the sky and ran home.
His father, Durrel Johnson (52) was sceptical at first but went out
and saw a light, like an arc lamp, , half the apparent diameter of
the moon , moving away in the sky. When they walked to the landing
site they found that the soil was glowing, as were parts of nearby
trees. The surface felt strange and Mrs Erma Johnson (49) found that
it seemed to numb her fingers. A branch was broken off a tree and
there was a ring of dried soil, 2.5m diameter, 20-30cm thick. Various
analyses of the soil samples came to differing conclusions. The
object was said to have returned on 27 April 1974, Ronald developed
psychic powers, and encountered a mysterious wild girl. </span></span><br />

Angelo Cellot has almost finished working with his tractor in his 4
hectare field, when his attention was caught by a light like a
headlamp about 1km away to the north west. He thought that it was the
light of a neighbour’s tractor, but on making his turn, he realised
that it was in the air and coming towards him. He saw a red light to
its rear and now thought that it was a helicopter. As he reached the
end of the furrow it became as bright as day and, looking up, he saw
that the object was right above him at 40-50m altitude and emitting a
powerful yellow light from a row of five lamps, with the little red
light in line with them, 4-5m to their right. Cellot then came to the
end of another furrow and when he halted the object slowly descended
to within 10-15m of the ground. Now thinking that it was an aircraft
about to crash on him, he put the tractor into neutral, jumped off
and ran towards his brother’s house. When he had gone about 30m he
looked back and saw the thing climbing back along the same route. He
then returned to the tractor and switched off the engine and lights.
He was surprised to note that he could hear no sound from the object,
which was now 50m away. As it climbed away, more lights seemed to
come on before it disappeared from view behind a ridge. The object
seemed to float in a zigzag pattern. Cellot was regarded as an
excellent citizen. </span></span><br />

Caetano (qv) and his Elvio Bianchi were returning from a business

place, an odd incident occurred. According to Bianchi, Paulo became
anxious and said that “a flying saucer” was following them, this
was actually a bus at a reasonable distance. Paulo however said that
the car was slowing down. Before he knew what happened, Paulo was out
of the car in a faint. His story was that there was a strange aerial
object 50cm above the ground, 4m away (during this time Elvio was
dozing off). From this object a red beam was projected, which opened
the car door, and an entity in pink clothes approached and escorted
Paulo into the craft via the shovel as before. There the occupants
gestured to him that he should lie down on a table about 50cm long,
with a pillow on it. From the ceiling they lowered an apparatus like
an X ray machine, with which they fastened both his arms. He then
felt what seemed like a cut near his elbow and the beings were
collecting some of his blood which was running down. Paulo then felt
that his wound was being cleaned and dried. The occupants then showed
him two panels, one showing a plan of Itaperuna, the other seemed to
show an atomic explosion. The door of the craft remained open and
after 5 minutes he found himself by the car. The two men now agree
that Elvio helped Paulo to his feet, and they got a bus into town,
where the wound was examined by doctors. </span></span><br />

secretary Judy Kendall (17) and her two sisters were driving home to
Zamora from their grandmother’s home in Bodega Bay, when they had a
time lapse by a bridge at this spot. Under hypnosis she recalled a
creature with a bulbous head, saucer sized, red pupiled gelatinous
eyes, with no external ears, which came up to her. It had a milky
white, almost translucent face, the lower part of which was covered
by a mask, and a neck with prominent red veins. It had a human body
and hands. It touched her on the forehead and said “It’s OK, It’s
OK” in muffled English. She then felt as though she had been jabbed
in the right arm, after which she became relaxed. She was then lying
on a cold table, with a sheet over her, while three different types
of being, dressed in grey, stood around and catheterised her. There
was also a human woman with straight black hair, who handed one of
the beings a tube of opaque, colourless liquid. This woman seemed to
know Judy’s name and to be trying to reassure her. Judy then felt a
pain at the top of her right thigh. One of the creatures examined her
ear, while others studied her feet. They then put a heavy metal,
which made a whirring sound, over her eyes, making her head ache.
When she was able to look around, she could see that she was in a
circular room with windows all around. At one side of this room were
two bucket seats over which there were three lights, and by which was
a console and lever. To her left was a table with what looked like
medical instruments on it, and a kind of black box. She was unable to
see what was behind, but she could hear her sister crying. The three
grey coloured creatures then grabbed her and dumped her into her car,
where he her sisters seemed to materialise beside her. It was pitch
dark at first, then they seemed to land on the road. The other two
sisters refused to be hypnotised.</span></span><br />

this bitterly cold clear day, highway maintenance foreman William
Taylor was driving north to Pemberton from Squamish, when at a sharp
bend in the road, about 10km south of Alta Lakes, he saw something he
first thought was a bear but as it stood upright he realised it was a
humanoid creature about 2m tall covered with dark reddish hair. The
thing walked away on two legs all the way. </span></span><br />

L (17) and five passengers in his vehicle were driving around a field
behind his Remembrance Road home, when they saw a large bright red
sphere, with blue and white lights, It was first seen by Marvin S and
at first the others could only see a plane, but then they saw the
apparently circular object as it came towards them. It zoomed around
trees and some of the boys became frightened, so they drove back to
the house. Steven and Martin then returned to the field, where they
saw the object hovering less than 2m above the ground, in the centre
of the field. They drove to within 60m to get a better look but when
Steve turned off his car lights and started to get out, the object
rose straight up and disappeared. Police were called.</span></span><br />

Caetano (qv) was standing by a fence near the bridge over the River
Carangola when he observed a light, which, when it came to within 20m
of him, he could see was a disk shaped machine. He got out of his car
and an opening appeared in the machine, and he saw two beings, one in
the doorway, the other in the cabin, making signs to him. He entered
the craft, via the shovel, of his own accord this time. He sat in one
of the little seats while the crew stood around jabbering in what
sounded like Spanish, though he was unable to see their mouths move
and the voices seemed to be coming from a poor quality loudspeaker.
They told him they were on a mission of peace to prepare people for
contact with them. On the floor of the cabin he saw what looked like
an oxygen cylinder, and in the ceiling a sort of ventilator emitting
multi coloured lights. </span></span><br />

A de Blas, a former army Lieutenant and university graduate, was
driving his tractor back from his hop field after finishing
irrigation work, when he saw a light approaching from the north, and
appearing to head towards his tractor. He could see what looked like
the bubble of a cockpit, illuminated by an orange glow from the
inside and a small bright white light to its left. He thought that it
was a plane or a helicopter trying to land in the field but realised
that high tension wires there would make landing impossible. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
object was now about 1.5km away, gliding silently towards the hop
field and de Blas, fearing a crash, abandoned his tractor and ran
back to the farm. On reaching home he saw the object receding back
into the sky. He called his family’s attention to the thing, and
phoned a friend, Dr R Moult. He then signalled the object with a
powerful torch and got three brilliant flashes in response. Dr Moult
and his two teenage sons saw several orange lights in the sky as they
drove to the de Blas place. These appeared to be below the 1km cloud
cover. The object was also seen by Mr F R Nuttall. Lights were
intermittently visible in the sky until 0300hrs. </span><br />

pointed ears and a long nose, but with no eyes or mouth visible on
its brown head. It was about 1,8m tall and though it was well clear
of the ground its legs could not be seen. Its body had a lumpy
appearance. It appeared to be about 500m from the golf course heading
away from town. The two boys drove 300m nearer the golf course and
saw a hemispherical object the size of a semi-trailer, with windows
on its surface, a ring of faintly glowing lights and spotlights
shining upwards. They observed it for about 15 minutes, the same
amount of time that they had observed the creature, then it dissolved
away in about 10 seconds. </span></span><br />

motorist found that his engine had stopped for no apparent reason,
but the car lights had not gone out. He got out and looked around and
saw, two fields away, an object the size of a bungalow front. It was
a slate grey spheroid about 6m diameter. Its outline appeared to be
fuzzy as though it was emitting a heat haze. The witness was too
concerned with his engine trouble to pay the thing much attention. As
he bent over the bonnet he saw the reflection of lights, which he
thought were those of another car, so he went to ask for assistance.
When he looked up, there was no car and the object in the field had
gone. 10 minutes later his car, a 1970 model, started up on its own
accord. </span></span><br />

he saw a light approaching the airfield from the north east. He
thought it was an aircraft on fire trying to land. It seemed to go
out so he shut the front door and went out through the rear to see
what was going on. He then saw, about 100m away, a light on the
runway, and thinking it was indeed a crashed plane, he ran to give
assistance. However when he got within 20 or 50m of the object, he
realised that the vivid blue light was nothing like flames and was
coming from an oval object 2m wide, 2.5m high, with a sort of “beak”
at one end. He had just taken this in when he saw an entity 90cm tall
standing by the machine. This entity walked around it, then
apparently seeing Manuel, stopped. For a minute or two they stared
hard at each other, allowing Manuel to make out that the being
appeared to have no covering on its head or back, but had green
pants. The little being then turned his back on Manuel and rose into
the air and entered into the top of the machine. The machine was
transparent and Manuel could see two other beings sat looking at him.
When their comrade entered these two put their hands on a sort of
lever and the object took off, slowly at first, then accelerating at
an unbelievable speed. The beings’ uniforms were a sort of dark
green which had avocado green belts with handsome big buckles, along
with tight boots. </span></span><br />

1m above the ground, an object, 7m long, 2.5m high, which stayed
there, rocking. Several round lights surrounded the structure, with
blinding white lights on top and in the middle and smaller lights
underneath. Something which rotated on top produced a sort of very

an old olive tree”, appeared on the right side of the road, on or
just above the ground and rose up vertically from between the olive
trees, 70m away. It was less than 15m diameter. The thing suddenly
accelerated and disappeared over the woodland, travelling just above
the treetops, at no time making sound. On the way back to San Juan de

height of the olive trees, in a ravine at least 2km away and took 5
more photos. There was a rumour in Mairena that a maid had also seen

pictures turned out, though the negatives were not returned. </span><br />

The object hovered 30m above the village for a short time and its light beam revolved as if scanning the surroundings. It then floated downward very gently and landed on the mesa 45m from Evita, and the noises ceased. A hatch opened in the side, and inside several figures moved around, bathed in a reddish glow. They were about .7m tall with large round eyes and small openings for noses. No mouths or lips were visible. The beings wore tight fitting hats and one piece clothes. Carrying some instruments, they ventured a few steps from the craft. They made observations and took soil samples before returning to their craft after about 30 minutes. The object began to make sizzling noises again, louder than before and it rose up a couple of hundred metres or so before heading North West at great speed. It left traces in the form of two parallel lines and three holes, two on one and one on the other side of the lines, as well as black scorch marks. A few days later a group of “investigators” arrived. asked questions and destroyed the traces. Several other people in the town also saw the object descending. </span></span><br />

with their bodies down to their upper legs covered by a sort of
bright green aura. Their heads were elongated and pear shaped, with
pointed close cropped ears, black teardrop shaped eyes, short turned
up noses and toothless mouths. Their bodies were short and fat, with
disproportionately long arms and legs, ending in long fingers and
feet. They walked in a shuffly bouncy movement, and appeared to be
wearing close fitting suits. The figures seemed to see the little
girl and began to laugh and point at her like they were naughty
children. After about 10 minutes she cried out. Her father came into
the room and switched on the light, at which the beings just </span></span><br />

lit up the surroundings and outshone the car’s headlights as it

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Doreen
Kendall (51), a nurse at the geriatric ward of Cowichan
District Hospital, went to open a window to cool a disturbed patient.
As she opened the curtains she was struck by a brilliant light. It
came from a large object hovering above the children’s ward at an
angle to, and one storey above, her position and 20m away. It was
circular with a silvery bowl shaped underside, around which was a
circle of bright lights, like a necklace. The top was a transparent
dome, lit from below from the inside. In this dome she could see two
men, facing to her right, away from the hospital. Their heads were
incased in some dark material, the one in front seemed the taller.
Doreen felt strangely peaceful and wished she could talk to them. The
craft then tilted and she could see that the beings looked over 1.8
tall, were well built, dressed in tight fitting suits of the same
material as the covering on their heads. Her attention was also
caught by the instrument panel, which seemed to take up half the
dome. As considered calling out to her colleague, registered nurse
Mrs Frieda Wilson (c55) , the man at the rear turned and looked at
her. His face was covered by a dark soft material. He then touched
his companion on the back, and this man pushed a lever back and forth
and the object began to circle in an anti-clockwise direction. Doreen
then called out to Frieda, who reached the widow to see the object,
which was about 15m in diameter, moving slowly. She was unable to see
any details because of the brilliant light and became alarmed.
Hearing them call out, the other nurses on the floor, Mrs Clarkson
and Mrs Appleby went to the window, but could only see a bright light
receding in the distance. Doreen appeared strangely preoccupied and
withdrawn for some time after the incident. A couple returning from a
party also saw a light, low in the sky. </span></span><br />

Aarno Heinonen )36) and farmer Esko Viljo (38), keen amateur athletes
out skiing, had halted in a small glade while descending a small
hill, when after 5 minutes they heard a whirring sound. They looked
up and saw a very strong light which approached from the north, made
a vast curve and came to them from the south. It descended and
halted, as the sound grew louder. This light was surrounded by a
red-grey mist pulsating with light, and puffs of smoke were thrown
from its top. When the cloud had got down to 15m, they could see,
inside it, a flat bottomed, round metallic object about 3m in
diameter, with three hemispheres on the underside and in the centre a
tube about 25cm in diameter which extended for 20m. As the object
descended further to within 3-4m of the ground, the sound grew even
louder, and the cloud dispersed. The sound then stopped. A bright
beam of light was suddenly emitted by the tube, which moved a couple
of times to create a bright illuminated circle over the snow. This
circle began to decrease in size and rose slowly upwards to create a
small disc which vanished into the tube in a couple of seconds. Then
then thick red-grey mist began to obscure everything again, and
looking to the spot they saw another, identical, ring. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Aarno felt as
if someone had pulled him backwards, and in the middle of the light
the two men saw a creature 90cm tall, with thin arms, legs and
shoulders, a pale face, slit eyes and mouth, small ears and a
prominent hooked nose. It wore a conical helmet, light overalls, with
dark green boots which streached above the knees, white, elbow length
gauntlets. In its hook life fingers it carried a black box from which
came a pulsating yellow light, which it pointed towards Aarno. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Another thick grey mist descended from the object, and large sparks
came from the circle above the snow. They were multi-coloured and
floated towards the witnesses, who did not feel them. After about 20
seconds they could neither each other or the creatures. The circle
above the snow then descreased, the light beam floated upwards, then
the mist seemed to be thrown apart and the spectacle had vanished.
Both men suffered from physiological after effects. In Eska’s case
this was redenning and swelling of the skin, loss of balances and
headaches. Aarno suffered pain and numbness in the right side, joint
pains, headaches, a month which he passed dark urine, feelings of
cold, stomach pains and eye problems. A man visiting the site with
the witnesses also developed a rash and eye problems. Doctors were
unable to make any positive diagnosis. Aarno believed the figure he
had seen was Eske and developed nightmares and paranoid delusions
about this. </span><br />

and dirty. When she examined her belly there was a mark there. Five years after this further beeping from the TV caused her to remember
that an alien face had appeared on the TV and that during the
abduction she had been quizzed about her pregnancy. </span></span><br />

Herbosch (30) was walking down Reserve Avenue when his attention was
caught by a faintly luminous object on an empty site, about 20m to
his left. Stopping, he saw an elliptical blob about 7-8m long, 1.5m
thick, which suddenly turned a light green, phosphorescent colour.
Leon approach, looking for a source of the light, but could not find
any. This fact unnerved him, so that he stopped about 10m from it. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Over
the next 30 seconds the mass became brighter and brighter, vibrated
and inflated into a luminous golden bell shape, which enlarged itself
to 5m in height, while its colour became paler and blinding. Its
edges were sharp, but seemed to vibrate, and its interior seemed to
be made of a multitude of swarming luminous particles. The object now
lit up the whole landscape as far as trees 100m away and resembled a
colossal flashlight. The thing gave off neither sound nor odour. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
Leon watched in terror, the bell deflated to its original shape and
moved to the northeast, following the contours of the ground until it
was hidden behind a fence. When Leon got back to the house of the
relatives he was staying with, he was so shaken that they thought
there had been an accident. </span><br />

object hovering above the treetops at an altitude of about 25m. The
thing was 12m long, 3.5m high, with a dome on top, and made an
intense whirring sound that could be heard above the noise of their
diesel engine. As they got closer, they saw that the object had
horizontal doors, with brilliant flashes of blue light, which closed
as they approached closer still. At the closest distance of 45m, they
saw a brilliant light on top, an orange light on the bottom and a red
light on each end of the object, which appeared like one saucer
inverted over another. The object left at 45 degree angle. The next
evening James and his wife Sue were driving on Hw 41 near Paisley
(Fla) when they were paced for about 15km by a domed object. </span></span></div>

disproportionally small head, and spoke to the boy in an

man and his girlfriend were sitting in their car, eating a snack, when
the girl opened the misted window and saw an object circling round
the top of a tree for ten seconds in a clockwise direction. It was
yellow, starlike, with spiky edges and appeared to be gaseous. After
it circled the thing moved to the left of the tree, descending in
steps until it was close to the ground 30m from the tree. At this
point the light went out, as if it had been switched off, but within
a second or so a second light appeared where the first one had been.
It was behind the tree and after it had completed half a revolution
it had moved away in the same direction as the first, but at an
angle, until it reached the spot where the first light had
disappeared, where it disappeared in the same way. Both light were
first seen some 25m from the ground and moved at about 13kph. After
neither object reappeared, after a few minutes the couple left the
area. </span></span><br />

high. There were no markings or openings visible. After 10 minutes,

horizontally, smoothly, noiselessly and accelerating all the time. As
the thing came closer, they saw that it was a black shape, about the
size of a house with windows from which streamed a bright light, like
an oxy-acetylene torch. The object crossed their path at about
160kph, some 200m away, passed just behind the railway bridge. By the

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A
32 year old attorney was driving home from Madison, when he observed
a light hovering low over the highway, ahead to the right. He thought
that it was a helicopter. As he drove under it, his radio developed
static, the car seemed to heat up, and he developed a headache. These
problems cleared after he stopped for a few minutes. As he continued
on his journey, he turned off his normal route and went up a deserted
back road. There, on the crest of a hill, he encountered, on the
ground, a disk shaped object with a row of flickering lights. He
stopped 4.5m from the object, which began to glow blue green, and as
he tried to drive away, the car engine, lights and radio all failed.
He then saw some shadowy figures approach and blacked out. When he
came to he had a small weald on the back of his neck. He developed
anxiety attacks and other psychological problems which led him to
seek hypnotic regression. Under regression he told of being taken
from his car by two humanoids that touched him on the neck with an
implement which seemed to tranquillise him. There were three other
occupants in the road. One, who was 1.65m tall, seemed to communicate
with him with the aid of a sort of box. The object was 30-38m
diameter, resting on three telescopic tripods. On the rear was a sort
of antenna. He was taken on board the object into a cold, metallic,
domed room, where he was told to stand in front of a sort of X ray
screen. The beings were 1.5-1.65m tall, with flattened features,
slightly slanted, slit like eyes and a slit like mouth, and wore one
piece suits with boots and gloves. The “leader” gave a
pseudo-scientific account of an alleged propulsion system, and a
homily on time. A cone shaped object was placed on his head. </span></span><br />

pointed ends and flattened top. It was dazzling self-luminous and
hurt Albert’s eyes to watch it. No external features were visible. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
thing paced the boat for about 4 minutes at the same speed (7 knots).
Albert had his 5 crewmen were all terrified but the object resisted
evasive action, keeping a steady 6m away. After circling twice they
seemed to shake the thing off and it descended into the depths again
until its light was gone. They immediately turned back and did not
set out again until after daylight. There were suggests that the
thing had been seen in the area before. </span><br />

electrician Max Krauss (65) was just leaving Aufhofen, walking on the
country road to his house in Langenschemmern, on this windy overcast
afternoon when he heard two muffled bangs. Looking round a couple of
minutes later he saw something like a twig being blown along. However
when this carried on against the cross wind and overtook him he could
then see that it was a transparent ball, 40cm wide, with spokes in
it. These eight spokes came from a dark, hazy central nucleus, their
tapering tops touching the transparent non-reflective surface of the
globe. In the centre of this nucleolus was a sort of prism. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
thing was rolling anti-clockwise, but floating a few centimetres
above the ground. After it had gone about 150m it turned and stopped
over a small stream. From its centre something like a hosepipe with a
“U” bend descended and began wriggling about and seemed to
descend into the water for a while, as the centre of the ball became
milky. The outer part of the sphere now developed a bluish tinge. The
centre now appeared to be 16cm diameter, the milky zone 20cm and the
bluish outer shell, 40cm. The pipe was then withdrawn and the object
recommenced its rotation, glided across the road into a field where
it vanished straight up faster than the eye could follow. The birds
seemed to fly away before the object appeared. </span><br />

Aulthouse was looking out the window of her hillside home when she
saw a brilliant red light, with beams all around it. It had an
apparent diameter of 18cm at arm’s length, and was approaching at
17m altitude. It flew towards her, turned and flew away. Her husband
joined her as the thing flew off. It then turned and came back
towards them at high speed. The thing was only visible for a few
seconds. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mrs
H G Sutherland (69), a retired police matron and widow of a police
officer, who was staying with her sister following a family
bereavement, had got up to make a cup of tea when her attention was
caught by an object descending slowly over a neighbour’s paddock,
about 1.5km to the north-east. The thing was a flat oval, with a
cylinder resembling a bottle rising from it and a bar descending. The
cylinder and bar were orange, the oval pink. As the thing turned a
brilliant light came into view, which unnerved the witness, who
switched off the kitchen light. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
object’s light lit up the surrounding vegetation and seemed to
magnify it, so that it appeared much nearer than it should. As the
object turned again to follow the bank of the Turanga creek, Mrs S
saw that what she and thought was a bar was one of three diamond
shaped projections, bisected by the oval. The whole object was
surrounded by a soft green light, surrounding an inner pink colour.
It was appeared to be 9m long and high and to be “fantastically
beautiful” as it moved slowly away in a complex looping trajectory
and was visible for 30 minutes. During this time Mrs S went to see if
her sister was awake, but seeing that she was fast asleep decided not
to disturb her. The object finally disappeared from view in a gully
and did not reappear, although Mrs S kept vigil until 0530. </span><br />

reflected the sunlight, giving off a metallic white colour. In the
thing’s centre was a tall, pyramidal tower, which appeared to be
emerging from a shadow or vacant place. Jose, based on local houses,
estimated the thing was 10m diameter and that the tower was 3m high.
The object flew over the tops of the pine trees before landing, and
was still on the ground when it went out of sight behind some houses.

couple then went to a point lower down the hill, where they saw a
light circle the hill at high speed. They then drove down to the
“Ballot Box” pub, where, from their car, they saw two white
lights flash on the hill, followed by two huge red lights, which came
down the hill towards them, and then moved away from the road. They
had the impression that these lights were on some object hidden in

was then lost sight. They then went to Brian French’s flat where
they were joined Ivar Mackay, the then chairman of BUFORA. The four
of them returned to the spot where they had a somewhat surrealistic

The light appeared to come from a circular object that rose from
behind timber 450m from the road. It rose for a few seconds, hovered
for about 30 seconds at about 18m altitude. From the trees he
estimated the thing was about 9m in diameter and what looked like
flames were coming out of the bottom. The thing then slowly returned
to the ground, becoming obscured by the trees, but light from it
could be seen projected in various directions. The driver,
frightened, drove away from the scene. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">At

fern; two about 9.1m in diameter, the others were one at 6.4m, 2 at
4.6m and I at 4.1m. There was also an area of burned and dead trees.
Analysis showed there was little difference in the soil and the
grass. </span><br />

Durant, a contract cleaner, and his wife Wendy were at work at the
isolated Wesfarmers building, while their children (6,5) were asleep
the car. At 0430 the 5 year old girl was terrified by something but
they were unable to get to the cause. About 30 minutes later the
watchman, while driving in, caught in his headlights a dark object
blocking the road and forcing him to swerve. He got out, thinking it
was a large truck but then saw that it was a dull grey domed object,
with a rim and a couple of windows. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Terrified,
he ran to join the Durant’s in the building. A few minutes later he
said the thing was taking off. The party rushed outside to see that
the darkness was lit like day with a brilliant electric blue
pulsating light and a whirring sound like a flock of pigeons in
flight filled the air. The Durants remembered they had such a sound
when their little daughter was frightened.</span></div>

light came from a metallic looking object, about 3.5m diameter, 4m
high, hovering above the junction. This light seemed to come from
around rather than from within the strange object, which was moving
on a flat trajectory, following the course of the road. The thing was
rotating and travelling at 35kph and moved under the high tension
wires, before moving off at rooftop height and then tilting and
disappearing into the clouds. Moments later it reappeared and
descended, as if to land. Vernon tried to find something to fight it
off. It then backtracked on the same trajectory into the clouds. The
Durants saw it until 0800, on and off, as a dark shape in the clouds.
No traces were found at the site. The watchman refused to speak to

Machado, his wife Maria Nazare, daughters Creuza (23), Consuelo (14),
Rosemary (10), Margarida (8) and Catia (5) were on their veranda with
their neighbour Joao Aguiar, an official of the Federal Police, when
the latter saw what looked like a motor boat hitting the water. They
wondered if there was an accident as they could see two figures
waving their arms as if signalling for help. The figures appeared to
be wearing shiny clothing, have something on their heads, and be
small and thick set. They then set to work on the deck of the craft,
which appeared to be greyish, metallic, 4-6m long and covered by a
transparent cupola. Aguiar ran up to the March Hotel to telephone the
rescue authorities, while the rest of the party continued to watch
the craft which was about 500m-1km from the shore. The object was
still there when Aguiar returned. After it had been under observation
for about 40 minutes, it skimmed along the water for about 300m,
creating a bow wave, then took off. They could now see it was a sort
of disc, with a hexagonal shape on which there were a number of
flashing lights, green, pale yellow and red in sequence, inset on the
underside. The object now appeared transparent and Maria could see
the two occupants in it. The object quickly went from sight. Left
behind in the water was a sort of heap which sank then reappeared.
There then separated from this heap, an oval yellow object 40cm
diameter, half sticking up above the water, which began to move in
toward the beach, a greenish flange separating and trailing 80cm
behind. This object came to within 120m of the shore, then made a
right angled turn against the current. Maria went down to the shore
to get a better look, where she was joined by some boys who threw
stones at it. The heap was seen to descend and reappear several times
before being lost to view. About 20 minutes after the main object had
gone, a fast motor launch arrived and hauled a heavy looking red
object out of the water. </span></span><br />

degrees,. They estimated that the ring was 6m in diameter, which ring
appeared to be depressed into the object. It had a hazy edge and the
underside was convex. Roell accelerated the car up to 145kph, as the
object paced it for about 1.5km at about the height of the power
lines. At times the object came down to within 10m of the car, and
appeared to be twice the size of their Vista Cruiser station wagon. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">At
the end of the journey, as they ran from their car to their house,

wide, which gave off a very pale green light and was thicker on the
outside than the inside. Their dog di9d not react but Josephine’s

boat to beginning early morning fishing, while the third slept. The
two by the boat saw an object rise from trees on the other side of
the river, hover and then move towards. It then suddenly disappeared,
only to reappear 30m overhead. They saw that it was a flat bottom
disc, surmounted by a dome. The thing appeared to be about 25m in
diameter, with a row of holes along the lower edge, and a light or
lights rotating behind them. There was a slight whooshing sound. The
thing faded to a crescent, reappeared whole then faded completely
away. The witnesses felt strangely calm and that they had undergone
some profound experience. </span></span><br />

G (16) , a baker’s helper, was looking for mushrooms when saw,
about 15m away, through the high ferns, a metallic looking dome.
Erienne moved closer, parting the ferns, to see better and was
suddenly almost blinded by a strong yellow-orange light that seemed
to come from two rectangular openings in the object, just below its
dome. The intensity of the light seemed to separate the shiny dome
from a barely visible darker, larger, lower section. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Erienne
felt frightened and paralysed but continued to try and watch the
silent, stationary object, which was about 6m diameter, 3m high, with
three antennae. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
the object began to slowly ascend, the light beam turned slowly away
from Erienne allowing him to see clearly and move once more. . From
holes in the base of the object came four, short, sturdy looking
supports, terminating in rectangular pads. When the object had
reached a height of about 100m it seemed to suddenly jump vertically
and disappear in a few seconds. Erienne ran back to the village but
told no-one of his adventure. However, eight days later he returned
to the site to find a rocky area where growth was damaged and four
40cm deep marks, 335mm by 525mm across with dark edges and flat
bottoms in the dark clay soil. Plant material in the imprints had
been pulverised. </span><br />

and was last seen beyond a low tree line, some 70m from the house. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">At
0100 the next morning all the dogs on the farm began barking again
and Stanley and his sister Christene (21) went outside and again saw
the blue-green light at the top of a 7.5m tall tree, some 70m
northwest of the house. They called their mother, another sister,
Mary (23) to watch. As they all did so the light went out, only to
reappear at the base of the tree, a couple of seconds later. It then
went out again, reappearing at the base of another tree 18m away.
This light blinked and reappeared almost instantly at the top of the
tree. It moved by similar progression back to the first and then
again back to the second tree. It then moved away to the east and
disappeared in the distance over a ridge. It was observed for several
minutes during which tine one of the dogs growled and the ducks
seemed disturbed. The witnesses described the light as a blue-green
glow, about the size of a baseball at arm’s length. It did not
light up the surroundings and was silent. It was in an area of rough
ground and its flight path was traversed by a fence. </span><br />

Antonio Federsoni Jnr) and staff to join him. Elven members of staff
did so. The saw a light, like a sodium lamp, giving off a pale blue
light. The thing began to move west, giving off vivid flashes of
light. Turing to the left, the thing descended until it was hovering
beside a water tower 1km away. Here the thing divided vertically into
two parts and the rays got bigger. These two parts were joined by a
bar of light to give the appearance of dumbbells. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
thing hovered motionless for 14 minutes, its light pulsating. The
director got into his car, turned it towards the object and began to
flash its headlights, at which the object moved off to the west in
the direction of the Pico de Jaragua. Pedro joined his boss in the
car and they followed the object along the via Durtra at maximum
speed for 15 minutes. The object flew away, gaining on the car (?) ,
while slowly changing colour pale blue-very pale yellow, then through
yellow-orange to a bright indescribable red, while all the time the
thing seemed to get larger and brighter. That they decided that
further pursuit was and watched and they watched the object disappear
behind the hills, diminishing to a dull grey colour. </span><br />

tell whether it was advancing or retreating. A little later when the
thing was no more than 200m away, it cut across the highway and
headed towards a nearby pine grove. At that moment the thing seemed
to hesitate before it descended straight down into a clearing. As, or
just before, the object reached the ground the light went out
complexly. The witness slowed down as much as he could, but did not
dare stop. The object had the appearance of a red, slightly fattened
sphere, with a green ring around it and three or four legs. </span></span><br />

his car engine and lights failed. He stopped by the side of the road
and tried to radio in, but his radio was also dead. The light was
dazzling and the temperature in the car rose it was that of a very
hot summer’s day. After a time the light began to be withdrawn and
Evald saw that it was a cone of light, 4-5m diameter at the base. In
about 5 minutes the light been drawn up into an object at 25m
altitude, 20m away. It was a large grey circular thing 10-15m
diameter, 5m thick, with a luminous opening about 1m diameter in the
underside, from which the cone of light emerged. There were also two
hemispheres, 1.5m diameter, one on each end of the underside. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Evald
then took with his fastened patrol car camera and then stepped out to
see the last of the light retreating and the object accelerating away
vertically at very high speed. As it did so the car lights came on
again and he now found that he could start the car with ease. He took
three more photographs of the highway illuminated by his headlights.
He found that the mudguard of the car was still hot. The three
photographs supposed to show the object merely show a point source of
light without details. </span><br />

so, the thing’s light went out, only to reappear when the vehicles
had passed. Finally the light went out and did not reappear. At the

C M (22), an illiterate servant in the Luis de Diego household, was
watching TV when she heard an intense whistling and the TV picture
developed interference, which she could not correct, so she turned it
off. She went to the door leading to the garden to find out what was
making the noise and was surprised to see a strange object in the
driveway, only 30m away, with a humanoid being 3-4m away from it. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
object was Saturn shaped, 4m wide, 2.5m high including its 80cm long
legs. The upper part was a clear dome with a blue-white light on top,
which turned sporadically. This light became dimmer was it slowed
down, but never went out. On the upper surface of the ledge around
the object was a row of white, purple and yellowish lights that
encircled it. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
being was 1.8m tall, wearing dark, tight fitting clothes and a tight
cap of the same colour. Around its wrists and ankles it had bright
white bands. It was looking at the field of alfalfa on the other side
of the driveway and later walked back towards the object with long
strides. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
girl retreated back into the house, in fear. She then heard the
sound, which had been less intense, become sharper again. When she
looked out of the window, the object and being had gone but at the
landing site there was a uniform glow, which remained visible for
several nights. In the same area a series of black footprints, which
looked as though they had been made by a boot with oblique stripes on
the soles, was found. Luis’s mother, who was in the house at the
time, heard the whistling but did not see anything. </span><br />

through Puits when, at a spot 300m from the village, he saw, in his
headlights, to the left side of the road, a few metres away, a
brilliant object, which was partially masked by a walnut tree. A few
seconds later he found himself right beside an object consisiti8ng of
two parts; the top half a hemisphere, the shape of a pudding basin,
10-12m diameter at greatest width and 4m high, which had a metallic
grey colour. This hemisphere rested on a perfectly symmetrical
column, 20cm diameter, 1m high, which was rust coloured, like singed
metal. Irregularly scattered around the sides of the hemisphere were
a series of round white discs about 40cm diameter, which stood at
least 10cm out from the main surface, to which they were attached by
a series of hooks, which seemed to be more regularly distributed. The
top part of the contraption was in shadow. The thing had been lit by
the car headlights and did not seem to be self-luminous. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
Patrick drove past the thing, an intense heat, like that from a
baker’s oven, struck him. He drove on, fearing his car bonnet might
melt. The object was still visible in the pre-dawn light until it
became obscured by a rise in the ground after he driven 200m. Patrick
was unable to get another witness and drove on homme. He visit the
site with his grandmother and the mayor in the afternoon and they
found traces of burning and a circle of flattened and withered grass
80-100cm in diameter. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">At

went to her back door to investigate. As Alice opened the door she
saw an intense light shining through a nearby tree and illuminating
the inside of her trailer. A moment later, a large fiery sphere,
10-20 times as bright as the moon, moved from behind the tree.
Something like a long piece of rope hung from the object, with
another small object on its end. The thing seemed to be at the
altitude of a small plane, 200m away. Alice then called Cook and they
both saw the thing move north at a moderate speed and then suddenly
disappear. Several other people saw strange lights in the woods by
the trailer area, among them Sidney Hughes (17); Mr and Mrs Robert

woman was travelling alone on a highway in the rain when she felt an
intense heat on her shoulder. She turned round and saw an intense
focussed , blue-white light source directed towards her from some 50m
away. She suffered from strange burns, vision disturbances and
partial paralysis. The light came from an ill-defined object, which
was moving in the air. When she fled the light changed to orange and
soared into space. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Security
watchman Almiro Martins de Freitas (31), a married man with two
children, was concluding his inspection of the Funil hydraulic dam,
when he saw a row of at least 15 orange, yellow and blue lights
hovering over a new portion of the dam. As he left his post in the
power house to get a better look, he heard an explosion and the
lights went out for a moment and then he saw them more clearly,
50-60m away. They were on a rectangular object like a flying wing. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Almiro
crawled to within 15m of this object and fired at it, at which the
lights grew brighter and a sound like a turbine filled the air. When
he fired a second shot, a blue silver ray leapt from the side of the
object and he felt a great heat (about 40 degrees C) along with a
prickling sensation in his body that seemed to paralyse him.
Shielding his eyes against the powerful light, he fired a third shot
at random. When he opened his eyes he realised he was blind. Another
guard and a passing motorist (or other guards, sources differ) helped
him down from the dam top. They had heard the sound of bullets
ricocheting from metal, and may have seen the object. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
wet concrete at the spot was now dry and potmarked. The area also
showed no trace of the strong rain of earlier that night. Almiro only
recovered the use of his limbs in the car and it was 14 days before
he recovered from his blindness, which the doctors felt was
psychosomatic. </span><br />

Miller and his two foster brothers were in bed when they saw a light
flashing different colours outside their window. The light approached
to within 3 or 4 blocks and then ascended vertically at great speed.
The thing was a flat rimmed half dome, with a red light on top and
blue, orange and green lights around the bottom rim. It made a
humming sound. </span></span><br />

Canner (28), an army truck driver, was return to his car on Lord’s
Hill from a cross country run. As he neared his car he saw a
contraption about 10m away to his left, illuminated against the
darkness by the faint pink glow that it emitted. It was a biconvex
oval, with a projection at the rear, like an exhaust pipe. At what
appeared to be the forward end was a dome shaped window, and on one
side were three long triangular markings like portholes, which gave
off a brighter white light. The thing was about 4m long, 3.5m wide
and 1.5m thick. The object was supported on three legs 1.8m long.
From the underside came a hatch, which reached to within 60cm of the
ground. The legs were 60cm wide at the top, 7.5cm wide at the bottom,
and ended in a pad in the shape of an equilateral triangle, the sides
of which were 45cm long. These were arranged two in the back, one in
the front. Though there was no sign of life, Barry felt that he was
being watched and became uneasy, and after 5-10 minutes jumped into
his car and drove rapidly away. When he returned with Bob Strong the
next day, three impressions, 5cm thick, were found in the dry, chalky
soil. </span></span><br />

had streams of pulsating internal luminescence and two very bright
radiances in its mid front centre, and two fainter lights, one to the

antenna. The main body of the object did not glow; it was metallic
blue, with flashes of pink-orange. All three witnesses felt an almost
palpable feeling of presence. </span></span><br />

shooting up at an angle from the centre top of the object and another
beam projected down from its base. This lower beam moved around and
finally shone directly on the witness. The object appeared to be
hovering over some trees 100m to the east at an estimated altitude of
20m. The cattle were not disturbed by the light but two cows had
somehow got onto the other side of the electrified fence, though it
was not down anywhere. There had been another close encounter on the

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
several nights in October, a number of people (Mr and Mrs Hughes, Mrs
Stella Dixon, Mr and Mrs Woodward) in Berthengham saw strange balls
of light in the vicinity of the Afenwen TV mast. On this night Mr
Hughes saw an object like a huge saucer on its side come up from the
ground from behind the hill. On the same night he saw half a dozen
huge balls of fire that he compared to giant “roman candles” come
from the valley between the hamlet and the mast. Some were going up
and down, others were moving across the sky. During the flap TV
interference was noted. A number of other curious events also took
place, such as an encounter with a 2m tall man in a van on the 18<sup>th</sup>.
However the proprietor and guests at a guest house near the mast saw
none of this. </span></span><br />

US Army medical anaesthetist Robert Pruett was dozing in a chair in the
coffee break room of his hospital when he was awakened by the sound
of footsteps. Fearing someone had broken into the operating theatre,
Robert went to investigate. He saw someone wearing a blue, pyjama
like suit walking towards him and noticed that the figure’s feet
seemed blurred. The figure did not answer Robert’s hails and came
on before stopping. After some moments the figure turned and went
toward the wall and just disappeared. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Reidar
Salvesen (35), a marketing consultant, was returning home from a
business trip, driving on road E-18, 5km east of Helleland, when,
surmounting a slope by a transformer station; he was blinded by an
intense blue-white light like an electric welder. As Reidar stopped
10-12m past the transformer, an intense mass of light, about 20m in
diameter, came slowly towards his car and hovered over it. Getting
out and looking up, Reidar observed for 50 seconds and took details
in his notebook a round, shiny, smooth object. It was a disc about
10m diameter, 3.5m thick at the centre, tapering to 50cm at the
edges. On the underside was a shallow cylindrical section about 2m
diameter, with a cupola of similar dimensions on top. The rim of the
object was marked by a shiny gold rim belt. There were no signs of
openings or marks on its surface and it was quiet soundless. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">After
about 50 seconds, Reidar was knocked to the ground, though he felt
neither blow nor pressure, and at the same time his front windscreen
was pushed in and pulverised. By the time Reidar had staggered to his
feet the object was taking off at terrific speed, reaching 1km
altitude in 2-3 seconds, surrounded by an intense light. A second
later it had disappeared into the clouds. Reidar’s hand was
scratched. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
Reidar drove away, he felt numbness around his tongue and mouth; his
eyes were reddened and sore for 2-3 days and the skin around his
scratch seemed to flake like sunburn. Part of his car roof paint work
was dulled. His travelling alarm clock, which had previously worked
perfectly, began behaving erratically. </span><br />

an undisclosed location, the teenage son of a farm family who did not
want their name or location to be revealed, but in a rural area
several kilometres from the nearest town, called his mother to look
at a set of red, green and yellow lights flashing on and off just
above the treetops. When two or three of these would go on, the
others would go off. These lights seemed to be arranged in an oval
pattern. The mother and son then saw a large white light, which came
closer, further to the left of the blinking lights. They thought it
might have been an aeroplane but they heard no sound and the thing
suddenly disappeared. After a moment or two, the coloured oval, which
was about 8km east of their home, also went out. Thirty minutes later
they were indoors watching TV when the lights went out for a minute
and then came back on again. This was repeated several times. When
the mother contacted the power line man, he reported that there had
been several complaints. There had been several power failures in the
area in the previous few days. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A
female employee at the Spartan Electronics Plant was driving near
Deland when her car engine failed and her headlights dimmed. She then
saw an object with a dome on which there were windows. The thing gave
off multi-coloured lights and a throbbing sound. When the object left
after 5 to 10 minutes her car began functioning normally. The woman
suffered swollen eyes and was sick for three days. </span></span><br />

Rail signalman, Cecil E Hardy (57) was working at the signal box 800m
north east of the village. When he looked out of the window on the
western side of the signal box, he saw a sphere, illuminated by a
pale lemon coloured, bright but not glaring, light. It appeared to be
about 15m off the ground at least 800m away and to be the apparent
size of a soccer ball. Cecil first thought that it was a reflection
from the signal but then a second, similar object appeared and
hovered side by side with the first. Cecil then wondered if it was an
aircraft but the lights were too large, stationary and soundless. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Cecil
went outside for a better look and watched the lights manoeuvre in a
leisurely fashion, as if floating, for about a minute. He then
decided to ring the next signal box down the line, to see if the
objects could be seen from there. However before he had time to do
this, both objects vanished on the spot, like electric lights being
turned out. In their movements on of the objects had been going to
the north east, the other approaching him. </span><br />

Boyle noticed, through her window, a bright light in the sky, and
called her partner, Douglas Lockhart (32), a photographer. As they
went to the front door for a closer look, the object seemed to
suddenly descend to just above the rooftops, coming up Downs Park
Road in total silence. The thing then suddenly turned from a
brilliant white to a yellow-orange core with jagged blood red
“coronas”, the whole outlined in deep black. When Douglas
silently asked the thing to stop, it did so and backtracked. Douglas
felt that something alien had probed him, which he found very
disturbing. The thing then moved off, just as a neighbour Brian
Haddon arrived to see it zigzag away at gathering speed. </span></span><br />

17 year old high school student, Arai was cycling home when he saw
five or six objects flying in formation, on a straight path,
north-east to south-west. They were visible for about 5 seconds.
Several seconds later a solitary object appeared in the northern sky
and approached swiftly. Arai parked his cycle and ran up some steps
into a raised enclosure to get a better view. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When
the thing reached a point overhead, the object swung round towards
the west and then completed a circular course. This manoeuvre was
repeated until the object was very low and then, after two or three
seconds, it climbed and disappeared overhead. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">At
its lowest point this object was 10 times the apparent diameter of
the full moon and consisted of a dark central part, surrounded by a
glowing ring of indistinct outline, the same order of luminosity as
the moon. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Arai
began his journey again, only to be so startled by a flash of light
to the south east that he fell off his cycle. He quickly remounted
and hurriedly cycled home. The next morning he looked at the site
where the object had hovered. It was a tombstone and in the grass
surrounding it, four circular marks of flattened grass were found.
The three smaller marks were an equidistant 2m from the larger mark. </span><br />

livestock farmer, Juanito (43), who had on several occasions the
strange balls of light which had infested this village for more than
a year, was out with his fog and goats near the highway, 1.5km from
town, on this sunny day, when he heard a buzzing sound like a power
saw. The animals headed straight for the highway, Juanito following a
little way behind. He then saw, at the edge of the road, 60-70m away,
an object that looked like a refrigerator on four legs, 20cm tall.
The thing was of dull aluminium colour, 1m wide, 2.5m high, with a
window at each of the two lower corners and in the middle were two
lights, one above the other. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When
Juanito tried to approach the thing, he found himself paralysed, as
were the animals. The heavy sack of acorns he was carrying now didn’t
seem to weigh anything. After about 2 minutes the object repeated the
buzzing sound and gave off a cloud of grey smoke, which rose just up
to the top of the thing and remained compact. The noise then stopped
and the object took off slowly, vanishing into the distance. With its
departure both Juanito and the animals recovered power of movement
and the sack regained its former weight. </span><br />

from Newbury to Wantage, in his Morris van at 50kph, when he saw an
object on the ground. It was about 800m from the road across a field.
He stopped and began to walk across the muddy field toward it. It was
a sphere with a row of at least four windows around the top,
surmounted by a flat disc. From either side of the object came two
telescopic projections, 2.5 to 3m long, sticking out of the sphere,
which was about 6m in diameter. In the lower half of the sphere was a
sort of hatch. The object, which appeared to be rotating, stood on at
least three legs. It was a dull metallic colour and reminded the
witness of a car wheel. There was a faint hum like a generator, which
became a high pitched whistle as the object took off vertically,
vanishing into the cloud cover in four or five seconds. As it took
off, the witness saw a kind of fuzzy halo, and it appeared to leave a
black vapour trail. He collected a friend who lived nearby and they
found that the otherwise wet ground was now dry at the site and they
found small holes in the ground. He reported the matter to the police
when he reached Wantage but they were unable to find the
traces.</span></span><br />

Julien Weverbergh and his wife were simultaneously awoken by a vivid
red sky. Mrs W ran to see if her mother in the next room was safe,
while Julien opened the French Windows. The source of the light was
to his right, hidden by a building. He seemed to feel a kind of
pulsating sound inside his ear. The light grew whiter and his wife
and mother in law called him to her room. When Julien reached the
room, everything was intensely white, but the light went out before
he could reach the window. They saw small car towards which a
policeman ran, but the car drove off before he reached it. The two
women had seen a bright blue-white pulsating sphere, hanging right
over the car, which light suddenly disappeared. It was only then that
they saw the car. </span></span><br />

Squire (17) and some friends were sitting in a car near an allegedly
haunted house only about 400m from the Commonwealth Ammunition
Factory, when they saw a huge ,bright orange ball of fire appear in a
field 100m away. Thr light then went out and they saw it was a huge
disk with a row of illuminated openings, thorough which human shaped
figures could be seen moving about. After 5 minutes the object began
to rise, till at a height of 18m it stood motionless. The lights then
went out for a moment, then on again. They followed it for several
kilometres before it went out of sight.</span></span></div>

school senior Ronnie Burton was driving home to Diehlstadt on Hw 77
when he spotted, just beyond the next rise ,a large dark shape
hanging above the road, covering all the lanes and part of the
shoulder. He thought it might have been a van which had overturned
and so slowed down and brightened his lights. He then saw that it was
an object shaped like two soup plates rim to rim. He decided to
reverse rather than risk squeezing past it. As he did so bright
lights like magnesium flashes came from the top and bottom of this
object, and seemed to spread over it, until the light was too intense
for Ronnie to look at. :The thing rose silently to the height of a
telephone pole, tilted and then disappeared. Ronnie’ car motor was
still running but at some point his radio had gone off. He drove home
and woke his father. They both returned to the spot to see that the
grass on road shoulder had been depressed as if by a heavy object. An
elderly lady who lived nearby volunteered that she had not only seen
this object on this occasion, but seen similar several times before. </span></span></div>

a divorcee, leaving on her own in a small flat in central Durban, was
having difficulty in getting to sleep. She was sat up drinking coffee
when she saw her wardrobe replaced by a long dark tunnel, at the end
of which was a small light, increasing in size, and found herself
unable to move. From the tunnel came a tall man wearing a greenish
jacket and trousers and black knee length boots. He had a thick black
belt. His eyes were huge, his brown hair was close cropped, his ears
large and his mouth lipless. His skin colour was tanned. She then
found herself being dragged down the tunnel, which appeared now to be
brilliantly illuminated from an unknown source, by two beings, one on
either side, into a brilliantly lit cold room, which had a strange
odour. In it was a high narrow table with white sheets. She
remembered nothing more until she woke next morning with heavy
painful arms. She had other, later, anomalous experiences. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Mrs
Adeline Davis, who was tending her sick daughter and sleeping only
fitfully, suddenly awoke and sat up looking out of the widow, though
she could hear no sound, and saw an unusual looking object in which
there was an occupant. He was wearing dark clothing with a cap like
an army fatigue cap, a dark jacket with an opening down the front and
a small upright collar with scalloped edges, and a scarf. He had
slanted, wide spaced, eyes with fuzzy indefinite pupils. She tried
several tests to check if she was awake, including going to bathe her
face. When she returned the object and its occupant were still there,
about 2m from her window, which was 2m above the ground. The being
seemed to be working on something below the window, but then looked
up. Apparently seeing the witness, he looked surprised and his mouth
dropped open. He looked at her for a brief while then carried on with
his work. After a while he looked up again and seemed to try and
reach for something first with one hand then the other. He then
looked at Adeline again and as he did so the craft seemed to back
away from the house. As it did so Adeline could see a white beam
coming from its base, projecting downwards, illuminating a small
cedar tree at one point. After the object had retreated about 3-3.5m,
it stopped, the white light went out and the object turned slightly
to the northeast. She now had a clear picture of the object, which
was army green in colour with a row of blue tinted windows on the
side which had originally faced her, but with a shield, the same
colour as the object itself, blocking the windows on the other side.
From the top edge of the window framing a dark vertical mark was
visible. Adeline again went to bathe her face, and when she returned
she saw that the leg on the far side of the object was about 1m above
the ground, that on the near side 1.5m. The object moved slowly to
the north east at very low altitude disappearing behind the corner of
the house. She now noticed that the electric furnace fan had stopped,
though it re-started a couple of minutes later. The next morning she
found the electric clocks were 20 minutes slow. At the time she had
the impression that the occupant was friendly and would not hurt her,
next day, though, she felt unusually nervous. </span></span><br />

illuminated city. What they knew to be a cart track now appeared to
an illuminated street with buildings giving off red, white and green
lights. When they reached the track, they found it as dark and unmade
as usual. When they reached a local inn they found it brilliantly
lit. A group of figures carrying torches were running back and forth
across the road, including a very tall man wearing a leather jerkin.
As the White’s approached within 20m of the inn, the scene vanished
and the area plunged into darkness. They quickly drove on. On the

and Maria drew their attention to an object above the trees. They saw
a craft shaped like a Mexican hat, about 25m diameter, giving off a
violent glow which mingled with other, less prominent, colours to
give a polarised effect. Three human shaped beings, but three times
as large as normal people, with bulky arms and legs and “generally
shapeless bodies” descended from this craft in another small craft
of the same shape. They gave off a violet-yellow glow. The beings did
not seem concerned that they were being watched and began collecting
plants and sugar cane from a patch at the edge of the road. These
samples were sucked up through a transparent funnel into the larger
object. At one point one of the beings seemed to be coming towards
them and George called out to the girls to run, but the being turned
away after collecting a few stones. After about 10 minutes the beings
re-entered the craft which took off quickly, straight up. As object
took off, the witnesses’ hair stood on end as if affected by static
electricity. Even after the object had gone a faint humming sound
could still b heard. George claimed to have seen “spacemen” on
two previous occasions, as a child in Romania in 1918 and near
Belgrade in 1946. </span></span><br />

Lupton, a NASA test facility mechanic at Langley Air Field was asleep
with his wife when he was suddenly awoken by a whirring sound, like a
transformer malfunctioning, getting softer and then louder again. Mrs
Lupton, half asleep, said she also heard the noise. Looking through
the blinds of his window, Keith saw an elliptical or cigar shaped
object with blunt ends, which he estimated to be 9m wide, 30m long
and at an altitude of 30-45m, travelling at 40kph. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
thing was ringed with windows, though which he could see steady amber
coloured lights. One window light in the right rear blinked a steady
pulse, which Keith thought was synchronised with the beat of the
sound. The widows which ringed the underside were rectangular,
translucent and separated by dividers and appeared to be surrounded
by a haze. The central section was solid, silvery and metallic. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
object moved in an undulating manner from SSE to NNW, approaching
within 30m. It tilted and made a gentle left turn. It had gone after
90-120 seconds; about 3 minutes after Keith first heard the noise.
:Keith had called out to his wife to ask if she saw the object, but
she had not replied. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Ass
Keith watched the object he had a feeling of being hypnotised and
experienced a tingling in his nerves. Aster the object had left; the
couple could still hear the sound over their phone. This was later
denied. Keith became obsessed with finding other witnesses and
eventually traced people who had heard s pulsating hum and explosion.
He reported the matter to the Air Force. </span><br />

unusual shape. They became worried that might crash into a nearby

approach their car. It moves over the treetops and dropped out of

grey” object shaped like a sting ray, with a rough surface. There
were 6 lights on the thing, three on each side, arranged red, green,
white in correspondence, though they couldn’t remember the order.
As the sisters sat looking at the thing, it passed over the back of
their car at low altitude. They heard a muffled roar as it did so.
They estimated that it could have been up to 60-120m wide. It moved
off following the direction of the river. </span><br />

from hospital after he had received treatment for an industrial
injury. They were within 400m of their home when they became aware of
a bright light to the right of their car at 30 degrees elevation.
:The thing was a horizontal cone, flying broad end first, which came
out of the northeast to within 400m of the car, at treetop height. It
then righted itself, giving the appearance of a triangle with the
point up. It appeared to be 2 or 3 stories tall, showing horizontal
stripes on the body. On its base was a lattice like affair, with
jewel like red and white lights. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
contraption lit up the ground below, spun on its axis two or three
times, flashing an extremely bright light. Then a strip peeled back
and the thing tilted to reveal its underside, in which the witness
could see a dim luminous opening, giving a view of a spongey
interior. At this point her car engine and lights died and the
vehicle stopped completely and then the front of the car rose up off
the ground. The woman’s screams woke her sleeping husband and he
also tried to start the car without success. The lighted object then
moved off towards the northwest and as it left the area the car came
down slowly but made a bump when it hit the road. :She was then able
to re-start the car. The couple’s landlord’s wife who lived
nearby noticed an unusual light at this time. </span><br />

his wife, his 15 year old daughter and two smaller children told the

luminous object at very low altitude. Meanwhile the son of the
puncture repair workshop owner saw an object, 4m diameter, come over

prevented the witness from making out its shape. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When

of small yellow lights visible. These lights themselves then vanished
and a brilliant searchlight came on and started to revolve. This was

pulled up to see what was happening. The filling station owner said
that the object was about 3m above the ground, that the beam was 100m
long and it rotated first clockwise and then anti-clockwise, taking
1-2 seconds to perform each rotation. His brother, who owned the
restaurant phoned for the police and a squad car arrived before the
light went out. No traces were found. </span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Residents
of this suburb of Pinheiro saw an object moving up and down at low
altitude. Their excited yelling awoke Tiago Machado, a 19 year old
fruit seller, who saw something like a parachute on the hill in the
ground of the Zootecnica. Grabbing his binoculars, he went up the
hill, collecting two guards, Chico Hansen and Dita Joanna. These two
searched the lower slope while Tiago went up the hill. He got to
within 10m of a silvery metallic disk. It was 4m in diameter, stood
on a tripod and had a dome on top. It was about 1.5m thick, with its
rim standing about 30cm above the ground. On the top of the dome was
a door and further down were two windows. As Tiago lifted his
binoculars to get a better look, the door hinged open, and two men
floated out down to the ground. Two other men were visible inside the
craft. The two men who had got out walked to within 3-4m of Tiago
and began to speak, low and rapidly in an unintelligible language,
and made signs of coming from the sky in a spinning motion. When
Tiago lit a cigarette and blew out the smoke, the beings began to
laugh. Tiago tossed them the cigarette package, at which one of the
beings leant slowly sideways, and when his hand came within 20cm of
the package, it flew up into his hand. When he brought his hand down
to his thigh the package disappeared. During this time Tiago was able
to take in that the beings were about 1.45m tall, dressed in tight
silvery clothes, with no buttons on the suite, but with a row of tiny
silver ones on each boot, from the middle toe to the ankle. They had
helmets with antennae on top, and glass visors through which Tiago
could see their yellow faces, slanting eyes, long thin noses and
thin lips. One eye was slightly below the other and had a cicatrix
on each cheek and black teeth. From the helmets came a kind of tube
through which they seemed to speak. Thinking that they might want him
to go with them, Tiago put down his binoculars as a marker, but when
he did so the beings seemed to become anxious, so he picked them up
again. Just then Ditto called out to him, whereupon the beings began
to back away, never once turning their backs on him, jumped on the
rim and eased in through the door. The last one waited by the door
and took out a kind of weapon which fired a blue flame which floated
towards Tiago. When it hit him he became paralysed and felt an
unbearable pain in his leg, which caused him to faint. His companions
picked him up and took him to a neighbour’s house, where a large
red wheal was found on his leg. When the paralysis wore off he felt
dehydrated but otherwise normal. Three marks, 12cm diameter, 5cm deep
were found at the site, forming an equilateral triangle, sides 63cm
apart. Grass in the area was swivled round. </span></span><br />

Vieira Leite, a prominent farmer and businessman and the brother of
the municipal prefect, was waiting at his farm, 40 minutes’ drive
out of town for his nephew Manoel Carlos Leite to drive him back to
town when, despite seeing the sunset in the west, he was surprised to
see it apparently rise in the west. He then saw that the light,
rising over his field, pale at first but then building up to a
blinding luminosity, was coming towards him out of the sky. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
thing finally came to a halt just above the long grass of the meadow,
its light fading again as it did so. Nelson walked towards the
object, which he now saw was a green object resembling an upside down
soup plate and significantly larger than a Volkswagen car, hovering
between 1-3m above the ground. As Nelson got within 10m (some sources
say 100m) he found that he could no longer go forward and was losing
all track of time. When he stepped back he found he could easily walk
away from the object, which was emitting a humming sound. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Nelson
then heard shout as his nephew, who had also seen the object, came
running towards it, only to fall unconscious as he reached the
barrier. Nelson found himself unable to help and became upset by his
impotence. There now appeared a band of increased light on the disc,
which seemed to indicate the presence of windows. Nelson felt that he
must not look at this band and kept looking at the ground below the
object. After about 20 minutes this light grew stronger and the noise
louder, obliging Nelson to cover his ears. The object then took off,
slowly at first and then very rapidly until it was just a point
source of light in the sky. When Manoel had recovered they
investigated the site and found an area of burnt and depressed grass. </span></div>

500m from the farm,. It was between the power lines and the water
tower and about 15m above the ground. They could see a dark bulge on
its underside and they calculated the whole thing was about 20m long
and 3m wide. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When
the farmer flashed his car headlights at this object, the thing went
dark, only to light up again when the lights were switched off, this
time with a red glow. It then made 5 rotations and they were able to
see it actually was a disc. It then took off to the north at high
speed at 15 degrees, still rotating. Associated features of this
incident included by a guest at the restaurant who was surprised by a
flash like a photographers when he went outside to relieve himself ,
a billy goat going sterile, and disturbances in the sexual cycle of
the female goats, unexplained howling of his dogs each morning
at0200hrs., strange balls of light zigzagging around his water tower
and Morse like tapping on his transistor. </span><br />

seen at about 10,000m, it descended in 4 minutes to just 30m above

gave off a dazzling light and was surrounded by a blue, smokey

and long black hair and beards. They wore short trousers, white

woman was awoken by a whirring sound, which made her think that her
fridge door had opened. She went downstairs to investigate and found
the door shut, but looking out through her glass front doors saw the
house across the road bathed in a brilliant white glow. Then, through
a side window, she saw the source of the illumination; an inverted
saucer shaped object about 10m diameter, some 100m away on the other
side of some trees. Part of the object seemed to be on the ground,
the other part reached about 2m above the ground. There were several
bright lights inset on this object. From the shadows emerged a man
about 1.8m tall, lean with light hair, wearing white “combination
overalls”, a tight fitting one piece suit. This man was in the
shadows most of the time, but occasionally came into the light,
always staying in the immediate proximity of the craft, and kept
either digging or working on the ground. The witness went to check on
her children, and then noticed the whirr getting louder. She thought
of going to a neighbour’s but was afraid of going into the light.
When the noise became even louder she ran to watch and saw that the
object was on the other side of the oval, 6m above the ground,
travelling in an arc, its lights going out. She then ran to her
neighbour, who was in time to see the object disappear instantly over
the ridge. The main witness also heard a high pitched beeping sound,
like a transformer sparking, during the observation, Neighbours
confirmed a strange glow left behind and hearing a faint whirring
sound. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
groundsman at the Awanui Hotel, Nathan Brown (46) a Maori, was
walking back the 3km to the hotel after a night drinking and playing
darts with some friends. About 1.5km from Awanui he noticed
incandescence behind some tall pampas buildings on the west of the
road and went to investigate. After some metres he came to a gap 2.6m
wide in the bushes which were growing from a ditch 3m from a paddock
fence. In this area was some long grass. There he saw two men sat
with their backs to the road, their feet dangling in the ditch, and a
woman lying across the ditch, as if supported by a board that he
could not see. He first thought it was some sort of roadside party,
but the strange state of the young woman, who had unnaturally white
shoulder length hair, deathly pale skin, and was dressed in a long
white gown which covered her feet, her arms being inside the
sleeveless gown and straight by her side. Her feet came up to 60cm in
front of the men, and she appeared to be unconscious. Brown now
thought it might be a road accident and getting no reply from, the
men to his enquiries went to see what was wrong with the woman, only
to be stopped by a sort of repulsive force. Brown now took a closer
look at the men, who were sat with their heads slightly bowed;
shoulders drooped, hands falling loosely into their lap. They were
1.65m tall, with dark brown skin, brown crew cut hair and wearing
brown jackets and trousers. As Brown tried to look into their faces,
they turned their heads away from him. Brown then lost his patience
and tried to grab one of the men by his shoulders, only to find his
hands couldn’t get within 30cm of his body, being stopped by a sort
of fuzzy wall. Brown now became convinced he was dealing with
supernatural forces, performed a traditional ritual against ghosts
and fled the scene. Looking back he saw the strange light was still
there, illuminating an area about 12m wide, 6m high. He tried to
interest his brother in law, police and friends in the incident
without much success. He then returned to the scene to find the light
and people gone. :Next day he found traces where the people had been
and a nearby flattened strip of grass, about 1m wide, 60cm long. For
about three weeks after the incident Brown felt unusually tired and
found it difficult to get up in the morning. He apparently had other
psychic experiences (not specified). </span></span><br />

Overstreet (50) a route mail carrier and city marshall from Elmer
Missouri was driving from there to Atlanta, when on route J 6.5km
from Atlanta he noticed a bright light in the south, which seemed to
be a northerly course, as he continued west. :However, as he came
over the crest of a hill he encountered a reddish sphere about 30m in
diameter, extending 3m on either side of the road, about 15-18m above
the ground, giving off a light so brilliant that he pulled down his
sun visor and shielded his face with his hands. As Bill approached
it, the centre changed colour to a blue colour that wavered, and he
noticed that the object was surrounded by a yellowish border rotating
in a clockwise direction. He heard no noise as it moved along at
65kph, so he decided to drive under it. As he did so a beam of light,
as wide as the object but narrowing to 2.5m diameter at the road,
shot down in front of him. When the beam hit the road it was so
brilliant it seemed to magnify the road features. :This beam was
blue-white and gave off an intense heat, and when the front of his
truck hit the beam, the vehicles lights and CB radio both failed,
only to restart as the object. He attempted to follow it, but his
engine kept missing when he got within 2m of the beam and stopped
altogether when he came in contact with it. at this he stopped giving
chase and watch the object continue at its modest pace and low
altitude as veered north around the tower at Highway 53, and then
south-east and out of sight towards Macon. It seemed to follow the
curve of the land. He observed it for about 7 or 8 minutes. </span></span></span><br />

medical students, Mr and Mrs Mira, were driving from Valencia to
Zaragoza when they observed an object that flew parallel to the road
2km away. It was a flattened egg with a smaller white sphere flying
alongside it. The egg shaped object had six luminous points in its
central part, giving various displays (?) as it landed vertically.
The Miras stopped twice to make sure that they were not the victims of
some illusion and they later observed a similar object in flight. </span></span><br />

chief Lavern Janzen was driving near his base, when he saw a helmet
shaped object, with its dome emitting a green-blue light, and with a
central band of rotating red light. The thing was projecting a
brilliant light beam from its underside and it passed right over
Lavern’s car. He stopped and watched the thing hovering about the
road about 20m away, wobbling slightly. After about 10-15 minutes it
took off to the south at high speed. During the incident Lavern’s
radio was filled with static and he smelt smoothing like burning
rubber. When the thing took off Lavern felt a kind of lightness as if
he were “going to float away.” :The radio worked perfectly next
day. </span></span><br />

Naslund, the director of the radio transmission station at Hemliden
was working alone at the station, when at 1800hrs. the alarm sounded,
indicating a fault. After 30 minutes Naslund felt a sudden urge to go
out, where he encountered a massive object 150m across, 5-6 m high,
with a fuzzy outline, only 15m from the building. From a tunnel in
the object came grey-blue light, beside which, and inside the tunnel,
were about 10 cloud like boxes, about 1,35m tall, without solid
edges, floating just above the ground. Naslund tried to go and call
the police but found himself paralysed. 6 or 7 of these boxes floated
past the immobilised witness, who had the feeling that there were
living creatures in them, and entered the station at walking pace.
5-10 minutes later the boxes returned to the large object, being
sucked up inside the tunnel which then closed behind them. The main
object then left for the north. Naslund was then able to move and
call the police. </span></span><br />

Manselon (37), the owner of a gravel pit, saw a strange urn shaped
object hovering about 1.5m above the ground in the pit. The thing was
shaped like a vertical barrel, 2m high, 1.5m wide of a vivid but not
dazzling colour. On the top were two antennae, one on each side,
about 2m high, much brighter than the rest of the object. The edges
of the thing were all sharp, except for the top, which was indistinct
and hazy. The light, which was giving a slight but rapid pulsation,
did not light up the surroundings and no structure could be seen. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Manselon
was unable to say how the object arrived, but as he tried to run off
he found himself paralysed and unable to call out. Finally the object
began to rise at about 4-5kph, and as it did so Manselon felt the
paralysis leaving him. When the thing reached a height of 8-10m it
tipped over on its side and vanished like a light being turned off.
It made no sound and no traces were found. There were other
witnesses. </span><br />

the objects approached the car, its engine began to misfire. The
things then flew behind the car to the other side of the road and
nearly landed, coming very close, at which the car engine misfired
more. The objects followed the car for about 45km before disappearing
round a curve behind a forest. Pesola heard a very high pitched sound
while this phenomenon was present. When the couple arrived in

had been followed by a flying saucer. </span></span><br />

came across another, dazzling, light, which lit up the area. It came
from a translucent object 3m x3m, with part of the wall lifted up,
revealing a cubical inner area, in which three beings were standing.
These seemed to be human beings, and the general was invited on
board, where there was some sort of screen showing aerial views of
various cities. Despite the silence, and no sense of motion, it was
clear that the object was moving. There were the usual
pseud-scientific discussions, before the man was set down at about

one of them noticed a light on the dashboard. Denis got out to
investigate and saw an object about 15m diameter hovering over a
nearby telephone pole. Red and white lights were revolving around its
outer edge and a beam of white light was coming from the centre.
Denis tried to restart the car, but it wouldn’t. He tried again a
few minutes later and the car worked. They drove to Clarkstown and
reported the matter to the police. There appeared to be a period of
two hours missing time. 10 years later the story was investigated by
Budd Hopkins and was featured in a TV documentary. After this Denis
recalled being drawn into the object on a beam of light and examined
on a table by three occupants, 1.35-1.5m tall, with pale grey skin,
large black eyes and wearing skin tight grey clothing. They were
silent and unemotional. Paul had a dream in which the object landed
for 20 minutes and projected a calming beam at him.</span></span><br />

woman out walking saw and heard a patch of sugar cane rustling
violently, though there was no wind. A powerful beam of light swept
the area, and when it hit the witness, she felt as though she was
being lifted off the ground towards the source of the beam. The light
then went out and she found herself still on the ground. She now saw
that the beam had come from a helmet shaped object about 15m away,
hovering 60cm above the 1,2m tall cane. The thing had a shiny grey
surface, and portholes from which a mixture of pale yellow, pinkish
red and green light shone, illuminating its surface. From its top
came a thin smoke trail. The cane movement had now become gentle, but
less than a minute later the agitation became violent again, there
was a whistling sound and the thing just disappeared. at 2000hrs. a
woman and her daughter fishing downstream from the Harwood Bridge saw
a brilliant red light with a whitish trail hovering above the bridge.
After a few seconds it just disappeared. The first witness thought
that the corn was flattened by the event but did not verify this. </span></span><br />

Roque (25) an illiterate employee of the Fazenda Cerradinho, 12km
from town, was riding home after failing to get a dentist to extract
a tooth. About 2km out Itaucu, he became aware of a light following
him, but did not take much notice of it until after another 200m,
when the thing came down lower and closer. When Dolar stopped at the
Rio Cerradinho, to let his horse drink the light came down the river
and frightened the beast. Dolar managed to ride on another 100m at
which point he was struck on the back by a beam of cold light that
seemed to mesmerise him. His attempts to ride on, despite the glare,
were halted when a second, hot, beam, hit him on the chest,
paralysing him. He was vaguely aware of a huge object hovering above
him and being pulled off hid horse by some force, at which he lost
consciousness. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Dolar
recovered his senses at 0500hrs the next morning on a rock by a
stream at a place he later learned was Itumbiara, some 400km away.
His horse had arrived home, much frightened, that dawn. Dolar finally
arrived home on the evening of the 21</span><sup style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">st</sup><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">, suffering from
reddening of the skin. He appeared to be almost distracted with
terror and his behaviour became disturbed. His psychological collapse accumulated with him poisoning himself and his 16 year old niece, with
whom he had run off in late May. </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Robert
and Wilma Phillips were driving to their home near South Wayne along
State 11 from Monroe when, as they rounded a turn in the road, they
noticed a bright yellow-orange light in the sky to their right, about
800m away. They stopped. They stopped to watch and the object moved
down to within 30m of their car. The thing appeared to be shaped like
an inverted ice cream cone, but as it came closer, they saw the cone
was a stream of bright lights coming from a kettle drum shaped
contraption, 6m diameter, 3-3.5m thick. Through the open window of
their car they could hear a high pitched sound above the croaking of
the frogs. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
couple began to cautiously drive away and as they did so, the object
tilted so that its flat top moved to the front, becoming somewhat
deeper as it did so and it began to follow them from a distance of
30m from the road to their right and at an altitude of 6m. It
continued to follow them for 6.5km. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When
they reached the drive of their farm they decided to keep on driving,
so as not to attract the thing to their farm where their four teenage
and two small children were. They proceeded to the outskirts of South
Wayne village, where the object stopped, turned and moved up and away
to the north, disappearing in seconds. The experience lasted 10 to 15
minutes. Though they encountered no other cars during the period of
the close encounter, several people saw the object as it left the
area. </span><br />

wife and 15 year old son, in a rainstorm when they saw an object in a
field. It was 1.5m above the ground, about 60m away. They stopped the
car and saw the thing take off across a 20 acre field of swamp and
bush and hover above the high tension wires, rising and falling with
them. It was a pinkish coloured disc shaped object surmounted by a
cupola, about 10m in diameter, with two huge spotlights, which lit up
the fields, and many windows through which red lights could be seen.
The object then left and wires and moved over the car, lighting it up
like day and emitting a heavy humming sound. The family dog, which
was sat on the floor of the car, leapt up into the seat in terror. </span></span><br />

came from an object like two soup bowls rim to rim, 10m in diameter,
with a steady red light on top. In a transparent front section,
illuminated by a blue glow, they could see a humanoid figure
operating some controls, a second was pointing at them, and a third
seemed to be walking towards a back door. All were wearing black
tight fitting clothing which appeared to cover their faces. The taxi
driver seemed terrified and insisted that they were only watching the
floodlights. He drove them to a taxi rank and then drove off before
they could pay their fare. Investigators were unable to trace him. A
group of boys playing under floodlights in the park seemed to be
oblivious of the craft’s presence. </span></span></span><br />

4m in diameter. :The thing’s lower part was a bright luminous blood
red, and was shaped like the inverted base of a slightly tapering
cone. On top of this was a dome with a sort of metallic looking frame
cutting it into four pieces, which gave off a brilliant light,
preventing Mareal seeing anything inside. This light, however, did
not illuminate the surroundings at all. Very alarmed Mareal drove
off. When he reached Sao Paulo he found that his brand new Rolex
Oyster watch had stopped at the time he had passed the object and the

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Jose
Antonio da Silva, a bachelor and orderly (enlisted) in the Minas
Gerais Military Police, was spending his leave fishing by the Rio Los
Velhas, when he saw some figures moving behind him, heard some voices
and a sort of groan, at which he was hit in the legs by a green beam
of light, which forced him to his knees. In this position he was set
upon and dragged away by two people in masks, while a third stood
guard. Da Silva saw that they were only 1.2m tall, completely covered
in one piece shiny garments with articulated segements at the joints.
They wore dull grey metallic masks, rounded at the back, square at
the front, which resembled a kind of gas mask with a tube attached to
a container on the back. He then caught sight of a machine like a
:grey, vertical cylinder standing, slightly inclined, on the dirt
road. On the top and bottom were black circular platforms, the top
one larger than the bottom, joined by roads set at an oblique angle.
The machine was 2m tall, the upper platform 3m diameter, the lower
2.5m. There was an opening 1.3mm by 60cm through which Da Silva was
taken, to find himself in a roughly cubical space (2 x 2 x 2 m) which
seemed to be composed of a grey material like stone. The whole scene
was lit by a “mercury vapour lamp” from no discernible source.
The beings then seated him on one of the stone seats in the space and
they made him wear a mask and helmet like theirs, stapped him and
themselves into the seats. They were then joined by the third man who
moved a little lever to the side. Jose then heard a humming sound and
felt a sensation of taking off. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">During the flight the light was so
intense at times that Jose was forced to close his eyes, and at
another the machine swung over 90 degrees. During this period the
beings talked among themselves in an unknown tongue. The machine
finally came to rest, and Jose was led blindfold into a large
quadrilateral room 10-15m across and high. Here he met a slightly
taller being without a suit, and his captors took off theirs. They
had very long red hair and beards, very pale skins, large, round,
green eyes, large noses and ears and toothless mouths. In this room
the following adventures befell him : he saw four human corpses on a
shelf; on the wall next to the shelf were pictures of various earthly
things; the whole room was stony and lit like the vessel which
brought him; 10-12 beings appeared in the room and examined his
belongings; one pointed a weapon at the wall and scorched it with a
ray; they seemed to be trying to get him to bring them human
:weapons; he drank some dark green bitter liquid from a stone :cup,
which seemed to restore his strength; the beings communicated with
him via a slate, suggesting he should collect information for them
:for three years, then return with them for seven; they tore his
crucifix from him and passed it around, while they were doing this
Jose had a vision of a tall man with long fair hair and a dark
friar’s robe who reassured him and gave him a warning on humanity’s
future. When this being vanished the creatures seemed to begin
arguing amongst themselves and finally returned him to earth in
exactly the same manner he had been taken. He was landed on the
outskirts of Vitorio (Espirito Santo) on the coast about 400km away,
and he found out it was now 9th May. He wandered around for a time
before picking up the courage to return home. His leg was sore and
the helmet had made scraches on his shoulder, and he later complained
of sore eyes, headaches, stomach pains etc, which faded in time. </span></span><br />

their eyes, but seemed to come from a helmet shaped object about 150m
away. When they looked again the light had gone, and only a sound
like a motor boat engine could be heard. The next day, at a spot 100m

of scorched grass 75cm wide. In the inner part of the circle there
was no scorching but 3 depressions, producing an equilateral triangle

was a light on top of a radio tower, but when they drove round a
clump of trees they saw an object like a “World War One English
helmet”. The thing had a concave indentation in its underside, from
which a brilliant light flashed intermittently. The object nosed down
at one point and from the front it appeared oval, with three large
headlights in the forward section and smaller blinking red and white
lights appeared to go three-quarters of the way round its rim and the
thing emitted a humming sound, which pulsated in a regular fashion. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">At

so, the object started to rise into the air, slowly at first but then
gaining speed and disappeared towards the south. Two days later he
found a burned ellipse, about 2.5m diameter in which the grass looked
thin and blackened and in which curiously large mushrooms were
growing. </span></span><br />

it but it always evaded her. She called her husband Nicodemos (30) an
electrician, who, when he came into the room, saw two objects,
:though his wife had no idea where the second one came from. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">These
objects were bright, giving off a silver blue light, circular,
revolving and moving in quick circular motions. One was 40cm in
diameter, the other 30cm and brighter. Nicodemos tried to catch this
second object with a towel, but it touched him on his forehead,
leaving a mark like a large twisted “M” (which mark disappeared
after three weeks). The larger object then flew through the open
window and the smaller one just disappeared. The couple dreamed the
same dreams the next night but would not describe them.</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Wendel
Meyer, Nancy Jensen and Nancy’s two year old son were driving from
Moorhead (Minnesota) to California when, outside the Yellowstone
National Park, they seemed to lose awareness. Nancy and her toddler
were asleep and Wendel was driving in a daze until just outside Salt
Lake City, when Wendel found that the steering wheel would not work
and they crashed into a post at 145kph but only sustained minor
damage. As he changed the tyre Wendel felt as though he was being
watched and controlled and handed the driving over to Nancy. As Nancy
drove along she also felt as though she was being watched and saw
yellow and white lights in the mirror, which, though they were on the
wrong side of the road, they thought were on a car until they took
off and began to pace them at 30m distance. They now saw that the
lights were on an object with a flat bottom, a fin on the back, a red
light on the humped top and a sort of luminous cabin on top. They
experienced an electronic “wail” and felt a vibration which went
through their bodies. The back window opened a couple of centimetres
and closed again on its own, at which the toddler woke up and started
crying. Despite Nancy putting her foot down on the accelerator the
car slowed from 110-95kph. The lights came closer and then retreated.
The couple then pulled into a rest area where they encountered a
strange “caravan” which made them feel uneasy and from which a
strange bony face peeped out at them. Then from across the dual
carriageway in the opposite direction to the lights came something
resembling a huge “snowman” with a skull like face, rounded body
and rounded jointless limbs. Only Wendel could see this figure and
then only when the car lights were turned down, and during its
appearance Wendel had the feeling that time had stopped, that Nancy
and her child were no longer there and that the only reality was
certain images flashing through his mind. Nancy appears to have
broken this spell by switching on the lights and driving away. As
they continued on their journey they found they had to keep swapping
the driving as this task was now exhausting. The object seemed to
ascend up into the sky when they stopped for petrol only to reappear
later (this incident may have occurred earlier in the journey). By
0630 the object had moved off over the mountains and they were able
to get a couple of hours sleep. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">At 0830hrs. they resumed their
journey only to encounter the 'caravan' again. As they overtook
it, Nancy looked in and saw two figures wearing black leather suits
and gloves, and had only dim outlines where their heads should have
been, with Cheshire Cat like grins. Wendel stopped to let it pass,
but it did not do so and there was no turn off. Some minutes later
they entered a small town which seemed all closed up, though there
were parked cars everywhere. The atmosphere was so eerie they drove
away. Later developments included another ufo experience and
apparitions of a faceless hooded man with long thin fingers and an
evil grin. Both Wendel and Nancy were given hypnotic regression in
1974/5. Nancy recalled that as the object made its first approach her
mind seem to leave her body and entered the object’s cabin, where
there were 20 or so small humanoids with oversized white heads and
green insect like eyes, who appeared to be communicating by a sort of
mumbling buzz . Wendel recalled seeing a humanoid figure in the
cabin, then floating up and then sitting in a circular domed room,
where there were white dwarfs with pale green insect like eyes, pale
green noses and mouths. When they looked at him he felt tired as
though they were draining his thoughts. He recalled that the creature
that came out of the “caravan” had a pumpkin shaped head with
wrap around eyes. </span></span><br />

glowing like a mercury vapour lamp hovering above ground level. It
illuminated the ground for 20m on either side, but not at all in
front. The thing was about 8-10m diameter, 2.5-3m thick and divided
into quarters by bars. The couple watched for about 45 minutes,
during which time a spotlight was directed by the object towards some
nearby trees and shrubs. The light vanished without them noticing
any movement. The next day the couple and some other people went to
the site where they found a circle of flattened vegetation about 8m
diameter. Investigators later found six flattened disc shaped areas
5cm diameter, inside of each was a hole 2cm deep, 1.5cm wide,

King’s Lynn Road and after passing through Bircham Newton and
approaching a group of houses about 2.5km from Docking, when his
lights began to dim and engine misfire. When he stopped the lights
and engine went out completely, so he got out to check for a short
circuit. As he opened the door he noticed a heavy static in the air,
which made his hair stand on end, and noted that the digits on his
watch were unusually luminous. He then saw an object about 400m away
at 30-50m altitude. This object resembled a luminous blue inverted
mushroom without the stalk, about 30m long, 12m wide, with a golden
aura stretching down to the ground and a pale gold glow on top. No
details were visible on it. After 1 to 1.5 minutes the object moved
off towards King Lynn, in the SSW, at terrific speed, without any
apparent acceleration. His van now functioned normally. After the
incident his watch lost luminosity, the luminous paint became brown,
and whereas it had once run fast it now ran slow. </span></span><br />

when, at the bend ahead, he noticed a group of trees which appeared
to be on fire. As he got closer he saw that the light came from a
fiery glowing disc, about 12m diameter, hovering just above the
trees. The driver of a car travelling in the opposite direction also
stopped to watch. The object then took off into the cloudless sky at
terrific speed. Both drivers then drove away. When Sandy got back to
base he found another driver had reported a “shooting star”. </span></span><br />

local magistrate, Mr Benedito, was walking along a narrow track, 6km
out of town, when his attention was caught by a sound like a swarm of
bees. Glancing to his left, he saw an unusual object hovering over
the trees, rocking from side to side. The thing suddenly dropped out
of the sky into the brush, so he rushed to the spot to see if he
could assistant in what he assumed was an accident and got to within
6m of the object as it sat on the ground. </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
thing was 6m in diameter, with a bottom half shaped like a bowl,
while the upper half was divided into two parts; one resembling a
slightly shallower bowl sitting precisely on the lower one, while at
the front was a drum revolving horizontally at high speed in an
anti-clockwise direction. To the front of this drum was something
that reminded Benedito of a filler cap. The whole thing was of a
light leaden brown colour and openings were visible on it. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
Benedito stood in amazement the thing lifted, its hum increasing in
pitch as it did so. :The thing hovered for a moment and then took off
in a gentle climb, nearly knocking Benedito off his feet with a
strong blast of air. An area of flattened grass, swirled in an
anti-clockwise direction was found at the site, as was a broken
branch and a plastic bag, the latter, however, was thought to have
been dropped by a sightseer. The grass in this depressed area was
very wet in contrast to the dry surrounding grass. </span><br />

1-1.15m tall with oriental eyes, a big ugly mouth, pointed chin and
dark, powdery skin. His head was covered in a striped blue shiny
cloth, and he wore baggy dark overalls which covered his hands,
making him look like a beggar. She asked what he wanted and received
a rambling, unintelligible answer, so she yelled that she had no food
for him. At this the dwarf lowered his eyes and said no more, When
she looked again 15 minutes later the dwarf had gone. </span></span><br />

object 3-3.5m high, 70cm wide and gave the impression of a “human
pyramid”. as the thing remained motionless, illuminating the
surroundings, Noel became afraid and left without seeing what
happened to it. The observation lasted one minute. No traces were
found. </span></span><br />

sounded like people hammering on a metal and shook the building.
Looking out of the window, he saw, descending from a dense cloud in
the northwest, a large green eliptical object that came to rest only
15m from him. The rising sun reflected off a widow like opening in
the craft and he was able to see the outlines of two heads turn. He
now saw that the object was egg shaped, 6m long, 4-5.5m wide and 3m
deep. The sound had now stopped and the object was silent. As the two
figures turned the object turned to the left slightly and rose
straight up into the east. An impression was noted at the site. </span></span></span><br />

called over their friends Andres (13) and Marina (11) Franco, Rosita
(10) and her brother German (14) who was playing in the house. This
alerted the adults in the house, farmer Arcesio Bermudez (50), his
sisters Lucrecia Bermundez and Rosa Ortiz along with his butler Luis
Carbajal and Luis’ wife Evelia. At Mauricio’s insistence they all
went out and saw the light 200m away. When the boy flashed his
flashlight at it, the light source approached the house at
considerable speed, coming to rest :between two tall trees 50m away,
at which point Mrs Ortiz panicked . They could see that the object
was between 1.2 and 1.5m tall, yellow orange in colour, surrounded by
an arc of light, with two luminous legs, blue with green tips. It
then flew silently to the right of the farmhouse and appeared to come
low over a nearby hill, whereupon Arcesio, braver than the rest, too
off after it. :He came within 6m of the object, which then switched
off its light. When he shone the flashlight at it Arcesio saw a
strange being inside, top half humanoid, but from the waist down
resembling a luminous capital A,. The object then flashed on its
light and rose into the sky. About 5 minutes later all the witnesses
saw an identical object crossing the sky at 100m altitude. The
witnesses concurred in their description of a spherical object with a
ring at the midsection. Within 2 days of the encounter, Arcesio died
of a disease , the symptoms of which (bloody vomiting and blood
diarrhoea) were compatible with either severe gastro-enteritis or
radiation damage. No autopsy took place. A pet monkey and some dogs
were agitated during the incident. </span></span><br />

about 70m apart together saw several luminous objects until 0500hrs
the next day. The incidents began with interference on their TV
followed by a town wide power failure. They first observed a
luminous, white bowl shaped object, 80cm diameter coming down slowly
and silently over the horizon. This object was not seen again, but a
white, spherical light, about 20cm diameter flew along the road,
hovered for 20 minutes and emitted a blinding, laser like, blue beam,
which lit them up. Feeling afraid, they went into the house, where
they saw through the window, not the white sphere, but a red
rectangular thing about 1.5km away and about 20m long. Later a
second fireball, about 7 cm diameters, was seen behind a tree, where
it remained till 0300, when three of the women went to bed. At about
0500hrs the other two women saw a cupola shaped object far away. It
was shaded but on its lower part of number of intermittent, separate
lights were visible. The local dogs were howling all the time. The
next say the women’s husbands tried to duplicate the effects with
car headlights but without success. The women were considered to be
reliable. </span></span><br />

former nurse was driving the 25km from her mother’s house, to her
own near Mortlake, along open country, when she saw red and green
lights, which she thought were on an aircraft. However, the object
descended rapidly to a height of 15m, to her left and she saw it was
a metallic looking dome, surrounded by red domed lights and a
flashing green light to its rear. The object then crossed over the
road in front of her car and took up a position 50m to her right from
where it paced her for 5-7km. The object kept pace as she accelerated
from 70-130kph and responded quickly to her changes in direction.
From its tail there flashed a green beam, which caused her head to
throb and her chest to feel distended. When she turned on the main
highway and stopped outside a farmhouse, the object rose up to a
great height above the house, vanishing when another car appeared.
The woman later suffered from anxiety attacks that required medical
treatment. </span></span><br />

engaged the roof light, the object swooped down to within 20m of the

even closer. He could now see that it was oval, about 2.5m diameter,

the woman passenger became hysterical. Edgar eventually drove home,
where he roused his son and daughter and the four of them saw the
light over the house and alerted the police when the light came down

A (10) was reading when she heard a noise outside so she opened the
door to the east facing porch from where she saw a grey object,
shaped like a top hat with rounded edges, as if to land about 1m
above a well, 3m away. From the centre of the thing’s base was a
group of powerful silvery lights, brighter than an electric welder.
These lights blinded Syliva for 30 minutes. She stumbled into the
house bringing her mother to see what had happened. Mr A had heard
some odd noises but didn’t take much notice until he heard his
daughter’s story. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">On
going to the site he found trees burned and leaves shrivelled nearby.
The dog fled and had to be brought back from its hiding place in
terror. Some metal was found, which gave the Sylvia’s brother a
rash, but this was found to be anti-radar chaff. Mr A speculated that
all of this may have been connected to a recent car crash. </span><br />

an undisclosed location a couple were parked in a lot adjacent to a
flood control dam when their attention was caught by an intensely
bright flash “brighter than several flash bulbs” about 300m top
their right. The male witness got the impression that the bright
glare was a reflection on a metallic surface, with a sort of railing
made up of narrow areas of bright light, separated by dark areas. The
whole thing appeared to be 6m x6m. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Then,
without any perception of movement, the object appeared in a position
in front of their car, which made it visible at the extreme upper end
of the car windshield. The man, frightened, drove off, but after
about 30m asked him to stop to see what the thing was. He could not
see the object, but a sensation of being drawn out of the car seized
him, moving down from his head to his feet. He seemed to lose
consciousness for a moment and when he recovered he felt as though he
was being lifted out of his seat. He grabbed hold of the steering
wheel and the sensation left him. He drove off straight away. The
woman felt none of these sensations, just seeing her companion
shudder and fall forward, wrapping his arms around the steering
wheel. </span><br />

His car bonnet was illuminated by a red glow, which came from a
glowing red sphere the size of a basketball above and to the left of
his car. The thing paced him for 5km until he reached home, where it
moved off at speed to hover over a schoolhouse 800m away. He roused
his mother, Mrs Shirley Waldo, his 14 year old sister and brother Eli
(22). The two young men observed the object, which appeared to hover
and move to the left until dawn, when it faded away. It appeared to
be as bright as the sun and to have a V shaped trail. </span></span><br />

Corporal Charles Brandmeyer was driving along Rt 161 between Albers
and New Braden, when he observed a small intense light moving over
some timberland. He first thought that was a jet but the thing turned
sharply and began pacing him. It was the apparent size of a softball.
On reaching his parents’ home, he wakened the family and they
chased the object to Oden in a faster car. . It was a round shiny
object with a blurred outline. It tilted at intervals revealing an
edge and was observed for more than 30 minutes. </span></span><br />

typist Helen Carr was awoken by a brilliant light coming from behind
a small hill, opposite her bedroom. After watching for a short while,
she saw an oval shaped object, with a large bright light to the front
rise over the hill. Around the rim of the object was a row of
windows, which gave the only indication as to its shape, as she could
not see the outline. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
the thing began to silently descent the hill towards the by-pass in
front of her house, it seemed to come closer to the ground. The light
moved around the estate like a searchlight, though she could see no
beam connecting it to the bright light on the object. This light
swept the houses, lighting up her wall at one point. She watched the
object for about an hour, though she felt cold, but seemed unable to
take her. When the first object was halfway down the field, it was
followed by a second, similar, object. The objects were lost to view
behind the next door and at this point she heard a car brake, but the
incident occurred outside her field of view. She waited to see if the
objects reappeared and then went back to bed and fell asleep. Her
father and a neighbour were also wakened by the light but did not
investigate. No traces could be found.</span><br />

L was walking with her son along a small road by a wood, looking out
for their dog, which had run off during the walk, when, near the
road, they saw a bright oval object “like nothing known to man” 5m thick, with a transparent middle section from which came a very
vivid light. They watched for two minutes and saw three men outside
and machine and two inside. They were very tall (2.3m+) , slim, with
very tight one piece suits. The witnesses became frightened by this
scene and went back to get Mr L. When he returned to the scene with
his son, the object and beings had gone, leaving a circle of
depressed grass 10 meters in diameter. The family had walked in the area for 10
years and knew the local scenery well and were sure it was quite
inaccessible to vehicles. </span></span><br />

moving towards them and was not sort of familiar aircraft. They
pulled up as the object passed and saw that it was a cigar shaped
thing with a blunt nose, which glowed bright red and as it passed soundlessly overhead, a bright light was visible in the rear
section. This appeared to be a sort of exhaust trailing sparks and
was contained within the object, the main body of which was not
visible against the dark sky, but they estimated it must have been
four times the apparent diameter of the moon. The glow from the rear
was still visible when they left the area three minutes later. </span></span><br />

huddled together on the far side of the pasture. Between him and the
cattle was a shiny object which resembled an inverted bowl with a red
light flashing on and off. he heard someone walking to his left and
turned around to see a little man 90cm-1.2m tall, coming towards him.
He was dressed from head to toe in a white astronauts suit, with a
yellow-brown helmet covering his large head. His arms were long and
reached to his knees, his hands looked normal but his feet seemed to
have two prongs. The dwarf then took off his helmet, and the boy
could see that it had a pale green complexion, his head was
completely bald, his eyes were very large but his mouth and nose were
just slits. It then wiped its expressionless face with its free hand,
as if to wipe away sweat, then entered the bowl shaped machine, which
then took off. </span></span></span><br />

Crossed the RN, after which the white light went out and was replaced

others attention to it. They all saw a whitish object floating up and
down. Thinking it might be burning paper, Alastair and his two
children went onto the balcony to investigate. Immediately above them
at about 10m altitude was a circular object 22-30cm in diameter. It
was an eerie grey white colour and was pulsating in the centre, which
darker and bluish in colour. About 30 seconds later it began to move
away to the south in level flight, very slow at first and then
accelerating to high speed. Alastair felt shaken by the incident and
reported it to the police. </span></span><br />

Pickett district house when he became aware of a strange noise from
the district generator plant, which was behind his house. A few
seconds later a light lit up the ground and a domed object descended
down to about 15m altitude, about 75m away. The thing appeared to be
in three sections and it was on a tilt, so that Steven could see four
blue-white lights on its underside. The object itself was dull grey
in colour and an estimated four times the size of car (ie about 17m
diameter). There was a high pitched sound like an ambulance siren and
leaves were blown about by a sort of wind. A horse fenced in the yard
became frantic. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">his

his mother Elaine was driving up Rte7 from the Brookfield Centre,
with a friend, Earl Blois, a commercial artist, travelling in the car

in distress. They then realised that the lights were too far apart,
travelling too slowly and were steady. One light then veered off at
an angle, while the other one went straight ahead. The witnesses
didn’t stop until they reached the W house. :Several other people

their Mobile College campus when they saw bright white lights in the
sky, which they thought were on a plane. They then realised that the
object was descending rapidly at 45 degrees and that flashing red
lights had come on. The object then began to decelerate rapidly and
began to descend into a vacant lot 15-30m from the road, flattening
grass and bending trees as it did so. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
lads then saw that it was a dark grey object, with luminous white
panels circling the exterior, with two rings of red flashing lights,
one on the top, the other on the bottom. The whole thing was 10-15m
diameter and about 4.5m high. The duo braked but the object became
lost to sight behind the trees. The boys called the police and
Patrolman G. Pressnell inspected the area, finding evidence of
flattened grass and two small pine trees had been broken. Several
other people called radio and TV stations to report unidentified
objects. </span><br />

three times with his van searchlight before the swishing increased to
a whine as the object moved away. Cudby’s dog had refused to obey
him during the 2 minute episode. :On examining the area Cudby found

Baker, his brother and a friend, saw an object that they first
thought was a helicopter 400m north of Windsor, flying close to the
ground. They then realised it was not a helicopter. It circled the
area, then flew east for 400m, then went south for 800m. It did this
four or five times changing colour white to grey four times. It
appeared to land on an old back road. Their dogs ran up to it. It
then took off and rose very rapidly and disappeared. The boys went to
the landing site and found a diamond shape imprinted into the ground
to a depth of 2.5cmm. In the centre were three holes about 2.5cm
round. At one end of the imprint was a smaller diamond shape about
60cm long, which was not dug out. There was a line about 90cm long
that curved away from this end of the diamond. There were three of
these shapes in different places, one smaller than the other. The
children described the object as egg shaped, 1.8m long with a tail
and four legs. </span></span><i style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">UFO Chronicle</i><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 6 p14 citing </span><i style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Australian Flying Saucer

version of this story says that a man watching out from his window
for the pigeons he was feeding saw a dome in which the heads of two
beings could be seen. The thing, which flew behind a chimney, was a
grey disc, surmounted by a transparent dome in which the beings could
be seen, and from its circumference came bright lights. A voice in
his head confirmed he was seeing a flying saucer. :The two entities
inside the dome then turn to each other and then away from the
witness. Then two other objects with transparent domes in which
figures could be seen passed by at 70m distance. The three joined up
and moved off to the north. The man fell into a kind of stupor,
unable to alert the neighbours and finding his face and hands swollen
and a red bump on his forehead, which was still visible in 1978.

when he went into the yard to get some water, he saw some strange
beings, lighting up the fields with powerful lights like
searchlights, beside the wire paddock fence 15m away. About 10 of the
beings were moving to and fro along the wire, and another 7 were in
the paddock. He could only see them from the waist downwards and they
seemed to be transparent. One of the beings came within 8m of Aquila,
who saw that it had a rod which it raised, whereupon the being flew
up into the air and joined its comrades. The other beings by the
fence then shone of their powerful beams on Aquila. The whole house
was lit up, a pane of glass was shattered, and he felt a powerful
blow on his face, which almost stunned him. Shaken he went back into
the kitchen and peeped through the little window in the door, though
which he saw the beings with their lights run along the fence from
one side to the other three times, focussing their lights on the
ground, trees and dung heap. One of the dogs had gone out with him
but rushed back into the kitchen. The other dog appeared to be
asleep. When Mrs Acosta returned home she found her husband with
bloodshot eyes, a headache and trembling all over. He was very afraid
the go out when the night fell again. </span></span><br />

corners and sides. The object dipped down to 15m above their car , as
it turned from flying straight east, swinging across the highway to
the south, where it disappeared in seconds. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As
the object dipped over it, the car appeared to rise about 25cm above
the paved road, and then to settle back with only a slight bump.
:There was no sound of rushing air and the car moved neither to the
left nor the right. This part of the incident lasted only about three
seconds. </span><br />

top of the beam.. From the underside of this shape, red yellow and
blue lights appeared. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The
thing seemed to keep moving away as Cliff’s pickup truck approached

light went out. :Then the other colours disappeared and only the blue
light remained as the object appeared to head off into the west. A
patrol car and several other vehicles also stopped. The light was
also seen by Mrs Jones as she passed through the area. The light was
last seen moving towards Tonopah. </span><br />

light swooped :directly in front of the car, causing Heino to brake
immediately. The :thing was a sort of conical flame, 1.5m long, 50cm
wide, and 1-1.5 m above the surface of the road. Its centre was dark
and its top was glowing red. From its bottom flames were spurting
like a rocket. This object kept pace with the car, which he slowed to
20kph. Both light and car then both came across a pedestrian walking
in the same direction ahead of them, who seemed unaware of the light.
Before the light could reach him, it rose abruptly in a curve to the
left, where it was hidden by the forest. The thing had paced the car
for about 2.8km. </span></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A 25
year old high school teacher and her mother, both from Florida, were
parked on the main street of a small town in the outskirts of Atlanta
discussing how to trace a relative who had moved house,. The mother
saw a black saucer shaped object with a flat bottom hovering and an
opening appearing. The daughter saw her mother’s expression and
looked to see a sort of plastic bubble roll through the opening and
drift towards the ground. The interior of this bubble appeared to be
illuminated by a white hot light. The bubble was shimmering and
appeared to be constantly changing shape. As it reached the ground,
its outer part seemed to melt away and the white hot core divided
into three parts, like prongs or arrows, which landed in a back lot
across the street, 15-20m away. The arrows still appeared to be
flaming hot and went into the ground. As they sat musing over this
incident, a group of local boys in a car asked if they were OK. When
they said they were the boys drove off but returned soon afterwards.
After a while, the women saw, in the lot, a dark figure 1.68 to 1.75m
tall, with large shoulders, a body tapering down into a very narrow
waist, thin hips and legs. Its head was pointed and extremely small
for the body. Its arms were shorter than normal and appeared to be
all black. No features were visible. Two other figures, one much
taller than its fellows, seemed to appear out of nowhere. They had
instruments with a long handle a triangular base, with which they
swept an area about 2.7m diameter, as if they were beating something
back. They had a sort of basket in the centre, into which they put
objects, when they had accumulated a pile of them. It appeared as
though they were trying to catch something, and when the largest
being could not catch it with its rake, it bent down and picked up a
glowing object. As it did so the glow went out, and the being put it
in the basket. The figures seemed to move in a syncopated jerky
fashion as if marking time with each movement of their bodies. At
this point the teenagers in the other car appear to have caught site
of the spectacle, because they drove right up to the spot, at which
the figures just vanished and the boys drove away. Nothing more was
seen of the object or the boys. The witnesses did not want their
names used for fear of ridicule. </span></span><br />

astonished to see that it was covered with a netting made of a
plastic like material. Inside the pen a strange being 1.1m tall was
engaged in killing the sheep with a tubular instrument that had a
hook on the end. Thinking it was a sheep rustler, she began to pelt
the being with stones, whereupon it walked over to a small instrument
like a radio and took in the netting by turning a wheel on top. Mrs
Flores now went for the being with her cudgel, and he replied by
throwing the sharp instrument at her several times, inflicting cuts
on her arms. The instrument returned to its owner like a boomerang.
The creature gathered up his net container and a plastic bag
containing the entrails of the slaughtered sheep. From a rucksack on
his back two projections appeared, which extended down to the ground.
He then rose up straight into the air with an extraordinary sound and
vanished. A drawing shows the creature wore a one piece suit with
thick boots, a helmet with a sort of antennae on top, and that the
rucksack was attached to his back by cross over straps and that his
face and hands were bare and humanoid. Investigators confirmed that
34 sheep had been killed. </span></div>

Barren) were driving home from her sister’s at Long Stratton to
their home in Loughton (Essex), when just before here their Ford
Anglia car was buffeted by a violent gust of wind, which pushed the
car onto the grass verge. The couple then saw, above the electricity
pylons, at about 30m altitude, a huge cigar shaped object 30m long,
with a row of portholes and an area of brilliant greenish light in
the centre of the underside. Their car was illuminated by beams of
the light from the thing. Mr Barron tried to evade the object by
driving along the narrow country road to up to 100kph. After a while,
realising the futility of this, he slowed down. Just past
Garroldisham the object disappeared as fast as a shooting star, after
20 minutes. The case was investigated by the police and the Ministry
of Defence. </span><br />

attaching themselves to the wall with what looked like suction pads.
They glistened as if made of, or covered by, metal. As Erma

a bright object moving just over the trees behind Errol, who then
looked back and saw it also. The thing was object shaped with two
luminous bands following the lines of its circumference. The outer
band was red, the inner yellow-orange, blending and pulsating in the
centre. The 6m x 3m object was noiseless and its lights did not
illuminate the woods. When felt the heat he got the impression that
his skidoo was slowing down somewhat. The object disappeared over the
trees in 10 seconds. Errol was shaken by the experience and was too
shocked to go to school the next day. No traces were found. Tommy was
a UFO buff and did not seem fazed by the incident at all. </span><br />

Bob Strong received a telephone call to go to Heaven’s Gate, a

accompanied by Sybil Champion who observed an object land with a
tilting motion. They went to the spot where it landed and saw it was
no larger than a soup plate. From it emerged a tiny ladder, down
which came 25 little creatures no more than 10 cm tall. As these
beings walked away from the object they expanded to normal height and
shook hands with the couple. They invited Strong to go with them,
which he did, being reduced in height like the others, as they
entered the craft which took off with a whistling sound, growing
larger and soon faded away. It returned at 0500 on the 19th, where
the process was reversed, Strong being returned to normal size.
Strong claimed to have received a message concerning the earth’s

strange interference on his transistor radio. Looking round he saw an
oval metallic object surmounted by a transparent tower on top of
which was a small balustrade on which two beings were leaning, the
silhouettes of two more beings were visible in the tower. The object
was hovering stationary above a munitions dump. Serafim rang one of
the other sentries, then shone his torch on the machine. As he did so
the men on the tower saw him. The object emitted a cloud of gaseous
dust which overpowered him. When his colleague found him a few
minutes later the object had vanished. There were investigations by
the American military authorities. </span><br />

response and after a few minutes it moved off slowly. The animals
were not disturbed. </span><br />

awakened by a disturbance among his cattle. Through his living room
window he saw a glowing object about 90-100m away, around which
cattle were grouped in a semi-circle. As his eyes accustomed to the
dim light he saw the object was circular, 30m diameter, with concave
sides, giving off a yellow-green glow. In the side of this object
were 7 openings of indeterminate shape, 60-75cm diameter. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The object was hovering
6-8m above the ground and was emitting a pulsating sound like that
being made by a wire being swung around. The cattle were agitated and
bawling and when one fled it developed into a minor stampede. After
some minutes the object left rapidly to the south-west at a 45 degree
angle. As it did so, the pulsating sound became two or three times
louder and more rapid. </span></div>

rustlers. He later suffered from hot and cold flushes and
perspiration. </span><br />

10m diameter. The three then hurriedly left the scene and returned
with more witnesses. The object had gone but the 30m pond in the
gravel pit was frozen completely over, despite the above freezing
temperature, to a depth of 75mm. </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Mrs Martha Heggs (38) was
at work in her kitchen 8km W-NW of Bengough when she heard a high
pitched whine, which became more intense, until it gave her a
sensation like an electric shock… Looking through a kitchen window
she saw an object circling a pole on which a transformer was
situated, about 25m away. The object was just above the 10m tall
pole. It was shaped like two shallow plates, lid to lid, on top of
which was a dome, surmounted by a second, vented, dome, the whole
topped by a sphere the size of a golf ball on a vertical shaft,
supported by four supports. On the main dome were 6 or 7 arch shaped
windows, made of a sort of frosted, opaque glass. The base of the
object seemed to consist of four riveted plates, of dull aluminium
colour. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">After circling the pole
four times, the thing, it moved to a spot 100m from the house, where
it descended to within about 1m from the ground, hovering for 5
minutes in front of three wrecked cars. It then rose to 5-6m,
slightly higher than the grain storage bins which it circled. The
object then began to systematically manoeuvre around various features
of the farmyard, and then followed the hedge until it reached the
farm entrance, where it turned onto the main road, never moving
faster than walking pace. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">After about 25 minutes of
watching the object Martha gave up, as the thing went away on a dead
straight course. When the object was first seen, the dog, which was
outside, crouched in terror, and cattle fled from the thing. Martha
considered shooting at it with her husband’s rifle, but decided
against this. When her husband, Laurence, arrived home Martha was in
a state of panic. No traces were found. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Mrs Bernice Niblett walked
to her front window to look at the sunset when her attention was
caught by an object about 20m above the water. It had frosted yellow
lights at its sides and a bright red light in its centre. This object
seemed to slide towards some rocks and then retreat without turning
round. For a few minutes Bernice was too frightened to do anything
and then went to investigate. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">She saw, on the other side
of Ragged Island and half hidden by it, something like a large boat,
illuminated with a neon light. As she watched, three balls of
scintillatingly yellow –amber light, about 1.2m diameter, flew off
from it. Eventually she counted 5 or 6 such lights around Bowen,
Keats, Pasley and other islands. The spheres moved over the treetops,
coming to ground level from time to time. When a tug towing a barge
passed, Bernice saw a light over the tug and another off the barge.
After a few seconds one light left towards Bowen, the other towards
Pasley. Bernice fled in terror. She had reported many other strange
lights in the sky. </span><br />

a high pitched whirr that made the lorry vibrate. He got back inside

spluttering and the object moving up and down for 20 minutes as it
hovered around the house. It finally took off to the south east. The
leaves and top branches of a tree below the object swirled around.
There was a sort of box on the back of the machine, which had no
propellers. The family also reported being plagued by a mystery cat,
a bigfoot and poltergeist. </span><br />

and spoke to him in a strange voice which resembled an echo. They

engaged in his regular chore of bringing water from his grandmother’s

in which the connecting pipe had been severed by frost. As Gregory
was walking back to the trailer he heard a noise like a generator
that grew increasingly louder. He looked over his left shoulder and
saw a huge red oval, shaped like a rugby ball or American football,
hovering over two trees about 8m above the ground, 45m away. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This object hovered
motionless as four brilliant red lights flashed alternately along its
side. Then a tube like projection came out of the centre of its
underside and began to move around until it was pointing directly at
the boy. Now frightened, Gregory began to run but as he did so a beam
of red light flashed from the tube and hit him in the back of his
right shoulder, knocking him to the ground. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Gregory dropped the jug
and began to pull off his jacket, which had begun to burn. His cries
alerted his mother and grandmother, who were in the trailer. As the
women came to the trailer door they saw the red object, which just
faded away on the spot. They managed to put out the flames and helped
him get the jacket off. Two burns were found on the back of his right
arm on hospital examination. One the size of a 50 cent piece (of the
period) was between his elbow and shoulder, the other, smaller, was
below his shoulder and both were second degree blistering burns.
Other witnesses saw an elongated cylinder at very low altitude in the
area and Gregory’s teacher testified to his honesty. </span><br />

the strange action of the lights on an electric fence and saw a
brilliant light, which moved North West, hovered over the area for 15
minutes, moved south and hovered again for 5 minutes. The witness
found a path burned through a nearby tree line. All the leaved were

at the Butterite colony watched a bright circular object land about
300m from the fence corner where he was standing. He was frightened
and ran away. The next day two oval burned areas were found at the
site. The larger circle was 2.7m diameter, 18cm deep and had been
burned down to a depth of 90cm. There was a second burned area about
30cm smaller. The grass that grew in this oval was greener, coarser
and taller than in surrounding areas, with a pronounced root
development not found in the surrounding grass. The sheep refused to
eat this grass. </span><br />

the door to a strange tall thin man dressed a black suit, white shirt
and “pork pie” hat, who moved in a curious jerky fashion and
speaking largely nonsense in a peculiar computer like voice. The man
enquired about insurance, was let in. When he began to sweat
profusely he removed his hat to reveal a white, bald head, and face
covered in red make up. The skin on his arms and legs seemed
completely white. He asked for a glass of water but just started at
it without drinking. He made comments about a clock and told her to
watch out for lights. When he left the girl went to the window, but
despite her clear view there was no sign of the visitor going down
the road. A couple of hours later strange lights danced around the
room before exiting through a closed window. The clock never worked
again. </span><br />

translucent material welded tight to the metal. Beneath these covers
were dials with pointers, one row of figures 1-5 and another of
complicated signs. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Satisfied that it was not

Moments later there was a thunderous noise from the roof and tile
fragments rained down on them. When Caetano arrived and inspected the

hole in the tiled roof above where it had been. </span><br />

Lake, when Michael pointed to a glow on the water 400m to their north
and right. They took little notice but became aware of the absence of
the usual night sounds. Some minutes later their attention was caught
by a glow in front of them, about 10m from their wharf, which seemed
to emanate from a whitish mound lying motionless in the water. It was
about 60cm wide and 30cm above the surface. Just visible on this
mound were two red glows that reminded them of eyes, and a vague
shape visible behind it. Michael and Cindy ran for the shore but
Richard cast his lure at the object, whereupon it raced towards the
wharf, at which all three witnesses fled and drove off. When police
investigated there was nothing to be seen but they too noted the
strange stillness. Local residents reported lights on the lake and
the strange stillness that night. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The well know sculptor and
painter Benjamin Solari Parravicini was walking home from the
theatre, with the programme in his hand, through deserted foggy
streets. At the corner of Belgrano and July 9th Avenues he was
confronted by a fair skinned “Nordic” type of man whose eyes were
so fair in colour “it looked as though he was blind”, who
addressed Solari in an unintelligible guttural language but in “a
kind and gentle fashion” and instructed him to look upwards. Doing
so, Solari saw 50m away, close the Ministry of Public Works Tower, an
extraordinary aerial machine with no lights. Solari was overcome with
dizziness and when he recovered he found himself inside the machine,
which was now in flight along with three very handsome beings. One of
these spoke to him and despite the strange language Solari could
understand him as if by telepathy. He was taken once around the
earth, then he seemed to wake as if from a dream back at the street
corner, with the theatre programme lying where it had fallen. The
witness later claimed other contacts </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b>VILLA
CARLOS PAZ (CORDOBA : ARGENTINA)</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Pedro Jacobo Pretzel (39)
the owner of the La Cuesta Motel was driving back to the motel from
Villa Carlos Paz, 3 km away, along Highway 20 when he noticed two
very bright stationary red lights, which he first thought were on
some stationary vehicle. However when he got within 70m of them he
realised that they were about 1.4-1.5m above the ground and about
5-6m apart and appeared to be on some structure hidden in the gloom.
Thinking it was a farm vehicle he ignored them and turned into the
motel. When he reached there he found his eldest daughter Maria
Elodia in a state of collapse inside the laundry, screaming something
about a man. Pedro searched the place for an intruder but found
nothing, though he did notice that the two red lights had now gone.
When Maria recovered she told her father that after seeing a couple
of guests out through the side door to the car park, she had gone
back through the dining room and kitchen into the laundry, switching
off all but the flourescent all night light lights as she did so.
After some minutes, however, she noticed a brighter blue light coming
through the serving hatch and went to investigate. As she reached the
kitchen area she saw, standing in the dining room, a being of
humanoid appearance, 2.05-2.1m tall, like man aged 30-35, wearing a
shining blue one piece suit made of a kind of scaly material which
covered the whole of his body, neck downwards, including hands and
feet, clinging tightly to his body. Around his waist was fastened a
dark blue belt, from the back of which came a sort of skirt down to
his calf. He had a waxy pale complexion, close cropped light blond
hair, with no eyebrows visible He stood, smiling all the time, with
his legs slightly apart as if caught in mid-stride. In his left hand
he held a glassy sphere, about 20 cm diameter, with what looked like
truncated cones 1 cm high on its surface, from which emitted beams of
very pale blue light, which after 15-20 cm coalesced into a single
beam of white light that illuminated the whole room as he moved his
arm to and fro. Maria noticed that the door to the car park was open,
and had the strange sensation that some force was distorting her body
and especially her face making her thinner. She tried to cry out but
was unable to do so and could only put her hands to her ears. At this
she heard a voice in her head, in Spanish, telling her not to be
afraid, though the entity did not open its mouth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Suddenly, without
any sensation of movement, Maria found herself at the bar, gripping
the counter with both hands, the entity now only 3m away, and with a
tingling sensation in her legs. At this point the entity raised his
right hand to shoulder level, flashes coming from his fingers and
showing a sort of rectangular gauntlet covering the back of his hand,
and as he did so Maria felt her strength fade and she slowly fell
backwards towards the floor until her head was 20 cm from the ground,
whereupon she began to rise again towards the vertical. The entity
then raised his arm again and the whole effect was repeated. As she
was raised up again the entity came right up to the counter and she
could see luminous flashes coming from his toes. Suddenly the light
in the sphere went out, giving it a dark blue glassy appearance and
the voice in her head stopped. Then the entity whirled round,
revealing the skirt and walked out through the side door, closing it
behind him. The tingling in her legs now having ceased, Maria was
able to stagger to the laundry. The event lasted 7-9 minutes, There
were brief recurrences of the tingling in her legs, and her anxiety
state lasted for several days. A neighbour, Mrs Candida Alvarez Paz
de Ramirez (64) saw a white light on some waste ground near her
property, about 70-80m from the motel, that night. </span><br />

and warning him to speak of the matter only to responsible people.
The beings then walked away into the night. Nunez somehow got himself

with a 10 year old friend and her family in a cabin by the lake, woke
up floating out of the cottage window. When she turned her head to
the right she saw a white creature with large black eyes. She passed
out, waking with a very painful ear and head ache. She had a sort of
mental conversation which went on for some time. Other odd incidents
happened around these visits to the cabin. </span><br />

34 minutes into the journey, a white light approached them from over
the hills. It manoeuvred erratically and approached closely, coming
within 30-60m covering six lanes of the highway. It emitted a
beautiful white glow and four tubes of light came from it and
surrounded the witnesses. They felt themselves leave their bodies and
passed out. Under hypnotic regression Helen recalled an encounter
with a man dressed in white on board the object, who showed her an
amazing motor which she later tried to duplicate. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Walter Rizzi
was driving through the Groder pass en route to Campitello, and
having just negotiated the pass, stopped for a doze before
continuing. He found himself suddenly awakened by a smell of burning
and got out to investigate. He then caught sight of a light 500m
downhill, through the mist. When the mist parted he saw that the
light was on an enormous silver object 80m diameter, which stood on
three 2m long legs, 2m thick at the bottom. The object itself was
about 8-10m high and gave off a “fleecy” white light and intense
burning smell. Rizzi approached within 3m of the object, whereupon he
suddenly felt weighted down by an enormous weight, paralysed and
unable to breath. The object was surrounded by a transparent cupola
through which two being were looking down on him. On the right hand
side of the machine was a robot 2.5m tall with three legs and four
arms, holding the outside of the craft and rotating it. From the
centre of the craft came a beam of alternating violent and orange
light 2m diameter. Down this came a being 1.6m tall, dressed in a one
piece suit and transparent helmet, who came within 1m of Rizzi and
greeted him. The being looked completely human with “beautiful
eyes”. Rizzi asked the being where he had come from and in reply
received a mental message about the beings’ “utopian” world.
This being had short, fur like, hair, cat like slanted eyes set far
apart and a smooth olive green skin, slim waist and broad shoulders.
The being made several “scientific” and “philosophical”
observations before pushing Rizzi away and ascending back into the
machine, which took off with a sound like a circular saw, the light
in the cupola turning first violent, then orange, then white and the
three legs retracing as it did so. Rizzi later suffered lethargy and
hair loss for about two months. Grass at the site grew three times as
long as it did in the surrounding area. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">While playing at the gate
of the Clinicas Hospital, three boys Fernando (12), the son of the
local police commander, Waltinho (11) son of the hospital group
administrator, and Valentino (8) suddenly perceived an object that
stood 350m to their west. This object was the size of a house, about
8m diameter. It was shaped like a ring stood on a tripod and
surmounted by a cupola (total height 8m), and had a ladder reaching
down to the ground. The thing was grey but shining with an inner
light. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Fernando heard a strange
high pitched ringing sound and as the boys watched the cupola seemed
to open in the middle the two halves sliding apart to reveal a
brilliant white light. Almost immediately the tripod and legs
retracted and the thing took off, the sides of the cupola sliding
together as it did so. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This cupola now gave off a
white glow, while the underside gave off a red glow. The object rose
up a few metres and then took off over the boys heads. While Fernando
stood transfixed, Waltinho ran home to his mother, who looked out of
her window, to see the object, enveloped in white smoke, moving away.
Several members of the hospital staff also saw the thing. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">It was later discovered
that about 40 minutes before the boys saw this object a retired
schoolteacher, Mrs Mair de Melo Rodrigues had seen a circular objet
flying low over the area. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The boys
seemed disorientated and nervous after their experience. A student
Antonio Alegre examined the site and found three pod marks. These
marks, when examined by investigators were seen to be 30cm diameter,
5cm deep in two occasions and 28cm wide and 4cm deep in the third,
forming a triangle with sides 6.8, 7 and 5.45m. A mark 15cm long, 4cm
deep, which the investigator assumed to be the mark of the ladder,
was also noted. A scent of gunpowder was detected in the area for two
days after the events. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Oscar M
Iriart (15) was riding his horse on his father’s 22 hectare farm
near Sierra Chica when, by a wire fence, he saw two individuals
gesturing him to approach. Riding over to them, he saw they were
about his own height (1.7m) with short white hair and red shirts.
They gazed at him with deep set unblinking eyes. Oscar than realised
that their legs were transparent, as he could see the grass through
them. The strangers told him they would take him to the world, but
not now as they had a heavy load. They then showed him, standing in a
muddy drainage ditch, an elliptical machine on three landing legs,
one behind the other two. The machine was 2m long, 60 cm high, the
legs were 50 cm high. The conversation seemed to be taking place in
Spanish as Oscar understood it perfectly. One of the beings gave an
envelope on which a message was scribbled and told him to dip it into
a muddy puddle. He did this and found that his hands and the message
remained perfectly dry. Scribbled in bad handwriting and misspelt
Spanish was the message “You are going to know the world. F
Saucer”. The beings then climbed on to the top of the machine,
lifted the top and got in. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As soon as the top was closed again the
machine took off with great speed accompanied by flashes of light.
Almost instantaneously it became a tiny dot in the sky</span> <span style="font-size: medium;">and
was gone. Feeling that he just awoken from a dream, Oscar ran over to
his horse, only to find that it and his dog were both paralysed. As
soon as they could move he rode at breakneck speed for the house 800m
away. There he struck everyone with his distracted condition and
bulging eyes. He returned to the spot with neighbours. There they
found three holes 12 cm deep, forming a perfect isolesces triangle,
base 2 cm, sides 1.58cm. That night at 2315 the local police officer
Sgt Raul Coronel and four friends (butcher Carlos Marinangelli, his
brother Jose Luis (a prison administrative officer, mechanic Hugo
Rodriguez and Walter Vacarro) went to the site to investigate, with
the intention of proving the story was a hoax. They had just arrived
when Carlos saw a light zigzagging towards them across the meadow,
only a few metres above the ground. It came towards them so low that
they were forced to duck and Raul would have shot it with his
revolver had not Carlos restrained him. The object carried on its
zigzag course, gathered speed, climbed straight up and vanished. </span></span><br />

open due to the hot night, when they saw a blue-white light to their
left as they were travelling east. It was as brilliant as welding arc
making it difficult to look at. Underneath this light they could make
out a vague shape, which they thought was a barn. Thinking it was
somewhat unusual for anyone to be welding at that hour; they pulled
off the road for a closer look. As they did so the arc like light
went out and in its place came a much softer orange-red glow, which
rose vertically for a couple of hundred metres and then levelled off
to the North North East, disappearing rapidly. . They phoned UFO
investigator Orville Hartle within the hour and then rechecked the
site in daylight. There was no barn in the area. No traces were found
though there may have been an abnormal radiation reading. </span></span><br />

this hot night with his window open when he noticed a light in the
sky, standing out among the stars and growing larger. Grabbing his
camera, he ran towards the light, joined by a drunk who insisted on
following him. They arrived at a plateau some 1.5km away, where they
saw, just above the plateau and themselves, about 14-20m away an
object 7-8m diameter. The drunk took to his heels but Ibrahim was
able to see that the object consisted of two discoid sections, an
upper rotating one and a lower one itself divided into sections by a
dark horizontal band. Ibrahim detected a low hum but felt neither
heat nor odour. Despite his fear he took two pictures in quick
succession. Soon afterwards the object rose into the air, a halo
forming around it, followed by a “visual explosion”. The thing
then took off a speed somewhat greater than a bird in flight. A young
woman Lucia Lirie had seen a bright starlike object over the town
that night. The negatives went missing presumably taken by a
Ufologist who visited him a few days later but prints were produced. </span></span><br />

descended towards an old barn in the grounds. Langley called the
police, but they just assumed that he was drunk, so he went out to
investigate. Around the centre of the object was a dark band, and
Langley heard a faint humming sound. The thing then moved across a
nearby field, heading towards the Hog’s Back, darkening as it did
so and then becoming more elongated and brighter as it flew above a
car on the A31. Mrs Langley then noticed five star like lights on the
ground in a nearby field. Langley again investigated and found they
were on some sort of grey “vehicle”, so he retreated to the

observed further manoeuvres before the lights moved off towards the
coast. Here the duo could see that the lights were discs with the
apparent diameter of the full moon, rotating on their axes, emitting
red and blue-violet flashes, while their velocity was sometimes
greater than that of a jet. One of the objects descended into the
sea, while the other hovered at low altitude and suddenly went out. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Farm worker Eugene Beauge
(2) was working his tractor late in the field when to his right, he
saw a stationary sphere giving off a dull-red orange light, duller
than a signal lamp. It was the apparent diameter of the moon,
resembled the sun setting through fog and was about 40m away.
Unnerved by the sight and the late hour Eugene drove his tractor
through the winding lane to Houssais (sic) where his car was parked.
As he did so the ball paced him and leapt forwards to the front and
left of the tractor. This kept happening during the next 200-300m. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When Eugene reached the
village the sphere hovered over pylons on the left hand side of the
road. When he reached his car however, he found the sphere waiting
for him, and after rejecting the idea of waking up the villagers
proceeded on to Le Meix the sphere now to his right. To add to his
troubles one of his tyres burst, forcing him to stop. Getting out, he
saw the sphere over the hedges and ran back to Houssais in panic,
pursued by the ball. There he got back on his tractor. The sphere
continued to pace him ahead and to the right, through Vault(sic),
where he saw a dark band on it for a short time, right through to Le
Meix, where he awoke his employer’s cousin, lorry driver Albert
Pentecouteau at 0200. Albert went out and saw the sphere hovering
above an outhouse and then went back to bed. Eugene followed 10
minutes later and slept well. </span><br />

returning home from a day’s fruitless hunting when he heard a sort
of jabbering sound, which seemed to be saying that its owner was
peaceful and needed medical assistance. Suddenly a being; with a
slender green body “like the stalk of a plant”, long ears, yellow
slanted eyes, semi-human facial features, thin arms and hands
terminating in three 17.5m long fingers which had needle like points
and suction caps, materialised. Frederick felt the creature grab his
hand and draw blood. During this transfusion the creature’s eyes
turned from yellow to red and seemed to rotate as spinning orange
circles, which seemed to hypnotise Frederick and dim the pain. After
a minute the operation seemed complete and the creature ran away in 8
bounds. The pain now returned to his arm and as he walked home he
heard a buzzing sound. </span><br />

drive way company. They were preparing to sleep in the car, in a
large empty field off the St Louis route, in the eastern suburbs of
Indianapolis. They drove into the field, lights out, so as not to be
seen by the police, just flashing every 15 seconds to avoid pitfalls.
As they turned the car around and prepared to settle for the night
they saw alight meandering around the field, moving irregularly,
going on and off, coming within 20m and going out to the edge of the
field, 90m away. They observed this for about 5 minutes. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Sometime
later they observed a brilliant crimson red light, above and slightly
beyond the trees, which were anything from 300-800m away at 100-300m
altitude. It was just a penetrating light, shooting out in all
directions and reforming, with no structure behind it. This was seen
for 15 minutes before it moved away behind the trees. </span><br />

Pedro Dema Jnr, a resident of Rio de Janeiro was driving on the Sao

humming noise above his head. This became very intense and he was
suddenly blinded by a powerful beam of light and two green lamps
which appeared beside him. The lights vanished and he saw an object
in which there appeared a horizontal opening from which four greenish
beings not much more than 50 cm tall, with contraptions like
headphones on their heads, emerged and ran towards him. He tried to
escape but felt dizzy, paralysed and speechless. He heard the little
creatures speaking to him as if in Portuguese, though no mouths were
visible in their faces. They seized him by the arms and dragged him
into the machine, the interior of which resembled a complicated
laboratory. Here the creatures subjected Pedo to searching questions
about human physiology, habits and customs. They then made him
undress and subjected him to a detailed medical examination which
include the introduction of a fine wire into his mouth, which made
his body transparent like an X ray. While two of the beings were
conducting the examination two others were taking down notes in a
strange script on a material resembling aluminium. Suddenly lights
flashed and signals seemed to travel across the wall, whereupon the
creatures bundled him out, telling him that the experience would
remain in his mind like a dream. Terrified he stood by the roadside
as the craft took off leaving a brilliantly luminous trail.</span></span></span></div>

when they saw a bright “star” moving at speed in the sky, which
joined with a cigar shaped object which appeared in the sky. Because
of the hour they decided to go to bed despite a “strange
threatening fear”. As they got ready for bed the room became filled
with a light, which streamed through the window. It seemed to come
from an object the size of a bus 50m away, which was surrounded by
red, orange and yellowish searchlights. These lights went out and it
began to radiate a green-blue light. The girls could also see a
blue-green stripe around the object, which was discoid and seemed to
diminish in size. After about 5 minutes there was a gentle buzz and
the object disappeared behind the bushes. One of the girls felt an
urgent need to go out, and when she reached the corner of the house
she encountered a small human like creature, which looked like a
woman, standing in the place where the object had been. This woman
appeared to be 1.4-1.5m tall, with a silver ribbon across her breast.
She then suddenly vanished into thin air and the girl returned to her
room. Next morning the girls went to the site where they found a
burnt patch, as if lime had eaten into the grass, about 2m in
diameter, around which were four oblong imprints. Other traces were
found.</span></span></span><br />

Olivereira ran towards the stranger and hit out at him with an iron

ground. The mysterious intruder was then joined by two companions who
managed to overcome him. One of the men, dressed in yellow clothing,
prodded him in the back, uttering unintelligible words. When

were always around the place. She then began to hear an intense
ear-splitting hum. She thought the heat was getting to her and went
onto the patio for some fresh air. The humming was louder, and
suddenly she saw, in the middle of the patio, a sort of top shaped
object sitting on top of a pedestal, like an inverted pyramid, with
two antennae, giving off a searing red light and heat. She covered
her face with her hands to protect her eyes and felt paralysed from
the waist down. Curiosity overcoming her, she moved her right hand
from her face, which was instantly scorched,. The object then
extinguished its lights and she was able to see openings through
which beings were observing her. An instant later the hum increased
and the object rose up through the branches of a pepper tree,
flashing red and blue lights. The paralysis then ended and she was
able to call for help. The police found an area on the patio 80 cm
diameter where the mosaics were burnt, and which evaporated water
which was thrown on it for some hours. Adela’s hands and the right
side of her face suffered burns which lasted for two months. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Science teacher Jerry
Richmond having driven a girl home to Bridgnorth was driving home on
the Bridgnorth-Wolverhampton Road at about 65kph when he saw an
elliptical object, about 30m long, 10m wide, rise from a clump of
trees 30m away. It had a dull flat steady glow, rose up to 150m and
then descended again before it shot across the road and started to
zigzag towards him from a point about 1km straight ahead. Jerry
checked to make sure it wasn’t a reflection and then drove on to
avoid it. After about 8km the thing disappeared over a hill as
another car approached, only to reappear again on his left when the
other car went out of sight. The object went over his car, zigzagging
again, a sort of tall being visible in it as it did so. The thing
then hovered over a clump of trees 100m away before shooting off into
the distance. The observation lasted 10-15 minutes over a distance of
13km. </span><br />

of the district by the Tapalque Stream was illuminated by a bright
light, accompanied by an ever increasing buzzing sound. A police
corporal on his way to change guards observed this phenomenon, went
to the station and returned with four companions to investigate. They
drove to the site in a jeep and observed a flat oval object, with
short legs around the edges, a few metres above the ground,
manoeuvring and emitting multi coloured flashes. It then turned
vertically at dizzying speed and landed beside some bushes behind the
emergency military runway. The light dimmed and the sound quietened
to a hum. Beside the disc they could see three beings over 2m tall,
clad in silvery uniforms. These beings walked towards the witnesses
with slow, unsteady steps. Unnerved, the corporal fired at them with
his submachine gun but missed. At this, the beings lifted their hands
simultaneously, each displaying a small luminous ball. The witnesses
then became filled with a feeling of indifference and fatigue and
were incapable of using their guns. Finally the three occupants
returned to their craft, which zigzagged away at high speed. Only
then did the witnesses recover their faculties and returned to town
to report their adventure. </span></span><br />

while the Sauvet parents were out. Paul and Denis were upstairs when
Denis glanced through the window and saw a sort of circle or globe
surrounded by a red halo. He called on the others who were in time to
see a second, similar, object appear. This second object hovered in
the sky, while the first descended into the oat field 300m from the
house. Denis told the others that this was a “flying saucer” like
one he had seen the previous year, and the youngsters decided to take
a look through the ground floor window. Denis then led them out into
the yard, flashlight in hand, only the machine in the field being
visible. Suddenly, in the beam of the flashlight, he was able to pick
out a being no more than 15m from them, whose head and shoulders were
visible behind a fence. It was a creature about 1.2m tall with broad
shoulders, a dark, somewhat larger than human, head which seemed to
be embedded in the shoulders as if there was no neck. It had large
round eyes, warty knobbly skin, especially wrinkled under the eyes,
flat nose, ears surrounded by fuzzy black hair. The creature came
around the fence and lifted its right hand to the top of its head,
revealing very large, black, scabby toad skinned fingers, and open
and shut its mouth like a baby trying to salute and speak. The
creature then back away towards the barn as the terrified youngsters
fled. Paul and Denis ran back upstairs, Nicole phoned for her
parents, Joanne locked herself in the bathroom. Regent, who was in
the downstairs room, saw the creature come up and put its hand on the
window, making a sound like a cow. Regent was unable to move or talk.
The creature then retreated. Then children stayed upstairs, where, a
few moments later, they saw the machine rise slowly and vertically
into the air. A circle of crushed grass 5m wide was found at the
site, nearby was another mark 18 cm long 10 cm wide. </span></span><br />

made a sound like a transformer. Their poodle, in their bedroom was
shaking with fear, and the alsatian in the garage was loudly whining.
The object was in view for 2 hours, about 70m from their house. After

traces. The matter was reported to the police. </span></span><br />

and faced Luce, revealing himself to be 90 cm tall, dressed in a one

faces were partially masked by helmets. The two then turned their

bright light behind him. After getting some ridicule from Massi,
Secco got him to watch the object, which descended and hovered at 40m
altitude, spinning on its axis and throwing off sparks. As the thing
came closer to the ground it generated a powerful wind that broke the
branches off several trees. The object was now seen to be about 5m in
diameter and pulsating. Massi tried to drive away on his motorcycle
but burnt the clutch out in his haste, at which point both men became
paralysed. After 4-5 minutes the object arced away at terrific speed,
to be just a spot above the trees 5km away. After another 5minutes it
moved off towards the Rio Grande and disappeared. The wind now died
down and they were able to push their scooter to the nearby farm. The
owner of this estate told them that this phenomenon was well known to
his farm workers who connected it with the Brazilian folk tale of
“The Mother of Gold”. </span></span><br />
