ufo's .. tja wat moet je er van zeggen
een vaak gehoorde ontkrachting is dat het allemaal maar hersenspinsels en hoaxen zijn
maar ik denk dat veel mensen geen idee hebben over het aantal sightings wat in de loop der jaren is verzamelt ..
ik zal van 2 a 3 sites een zooi cases dumpen, er zullen dubbelen inzitten

A CENTURY OF UFO LANDINGS (1868-1968)
1
Jul., 1868 Copiago (Chile). A strange "aerial construction"
bearing lights and making engine noises flew low
over this town. Local people also described it as a
giant bird covered with large scales producing a me-
tallic noise. Although not an actual landing, this is
the first instance of close observation of an unknown
object at low altitude in the nineteenth century.
(Fort 638; Anatomy 11)
2
Dec. 07, 1872 Banbury (Great Britain). At King's Sutton an object
0100 hours resembling a haystack flew on an irregular course.
Sometimes high, sometimes very low it was accom-
panied by fire and dense smoke. It produced the same
effect as a tornado, felling trees and walls. It sud-
denly vanished. (Fort 189)
3
1880 Aldershot (Great Britain). A strange being dressed in
tight-fitting clothes and shining helmet soared over
the heads of two sentries, who fired without result.
The apparition stunned them with something de-
scribed as "blue fire." (FSR 61, 3; Magonia)
4
May. 15, 1879 Persian Gulf. Two very large "wheels" were seen
2140 spinning in the air and slowly coming to the surface
of the sea. Estimated diameter: 40 m. Distance be-
tween the objects: 150 m. Speed: 80 km/h/ Duration:
35 min. Witnesses aboard the ship "Vultur" (Round
up 17; Anatomy 12)
5
1880 Eastern Venezuela. A 14-year-old boy saw a luminous
ball descending from the sky and hovering near him.
He felt somehow "drawn" to it, but succeeded in
backing away in spite of his terror. (Lor. III 2O6)
6
Mar. 26, 1880 Lamy (New Mexico). Four men walking near Galis-
evening teo Junction were surprised as they heard voices com-
ing from a "strange balloon," which flew over them.
It was shaped like a fish and seemed to be guided by
a large fanlike device. There were eight to ten figures
aboard. Their language was not understood. The ob-
ject flew low over Galisteo Junction and rose rapidly
toward the east. (FSR 65, 3)
7
Jun. 11, 1881 Between Melbourne and Sydney at sea (Australia).
0400 The two sons of the Prince of Wales, one of them
the future king of England, were cruising aboard "La
Bacchante" when an object resembling a fully lighted
ship was seen ("a phantom vessel all aglow"). (Fort
637; Anatomy 12)
8
Nov. 02, 1885 Scutari (Turkey). A luminous object circled the har-
dawn bor. Altitude: 5-6 m. Illuminated the whole town.
Duration: 1 1/2 min, as a bluish-green flame. Then
plunged into the sea. Made several circles above the
ferry-boat pier. (LDLN 48; Anatomy 14)
9
Nov. 12, 1887 Cape Race (Atlantic Ocean). A huge sphere of fire
2400 was observed rising out of the ocean by witnesses
aboard the "Siberian." It rose to an altitude of 16 m,
flew against the wind, and came close to the ship,
then "dashed oft" toward the southeast. Duration:
5 min. (LDLN 48; Anatomy 14)
10
1896 Arolla, near Zermatt (Swiss Alps). Author Aleister
Crowley was walking in the mountains when he sud-
denly saw two little men. He made a gesture to them,
but they did not seem to pay attention and disap-
peared among the rocks. (Magic Without Tears, by
A. Crowley)
11
Mar. 26, 1897 Sioux City (Iowa). Approximate date. Robert Hib-
night bard was caught by an anchor dropped from an un-
known flying machine 22 km north of the town. He
was dragged over 10 m and fell as his clothes were
torn. (FSR 66, 4)
12
Mar. 28, 1897 Omaha (Nebraska). The majority of the population
2230 observed an object arriving from the southeast. It
looked like a huge light, flew northwestward slowly,
came to low altitude. A crowd gathered at a street
corner to watch it. (185)
13
Apr. 01, 1897 Everest (Kansas). The whole town saw an object fly
2100 under the cloud ceiling. It came down slowly, then
flew away very fast to the southeast. When directly
over the town it swept the ground with its powerful
light. It was seen to rise up at fantastic speed until
barely discernible, then to come down again and
sweep low over the witnesses. At one point it re-
mained stationary for 5 min at the edge of a low
cloud, which it illuminated. All could clearly see the
silhouette of the craft. (FSR 66, 4)
14
Apr. 12, 1897 Nilwood (Illinois). On the property of Z. Thacker, 19
1430 km north of Carlinville, an unknown object landed.
Before the three witnesses could reach it, the craft,
which was shaped like a cigar with a dome, rose slowly
and left majestically toward the north. Witnesses:
Edward Teeples, William Street and Franklin Met-
calf. (186; Anatomy 12)
15
Apr. 12, 1897 Girard, near Green Ridge (Illinois). A large crowd of
1800 miners saw an unknown object land 3 km north of
Green Ridge and 4 km south of Girard. The night
operator of the Chicago-and-Alton Railroad, Paul Mc-
Cramer, stated that he came sufficiently close to the
craft to see a man emerge from it to repair the ma-
chinery. Traces were found over a large area. The
object itself was elongated like a ship with a roof and
a double canopy. It left toward the north. (186,187)
16
Apr. 14, 1897 Gas City (Indiana). An object landed 2 km south of
1500 Gas City on the property of John Roush, terrifying
the farmers and causing the horses and cattle to
stampede. Six occupants of the ship came out and
seemed to make some repairs. Before the crowd could
approach the object, it rose rapidly and flew toward
the east. (188)
17
Apr. 14, 1897 Cleveland (Ohio). Joseph Singler, captain of the
"Sea Wing," was fishing with S. H. Davis, of Detroit,
when they saw on the lake what they thought was a
ship, about 13 m long, with a canopy. A man, about
25 years old, wearing a hunting jacket and a cap, was
fishing from the deck of the object. Near him were a
woman and a 10-year old child. When the "Sea
Wing" came close to the craft, a large, colored bal-
loon rose from the object, which flew up with it to an
altitude of about 150 m and circled "like a hawk"
before flying away. (189)
18
Apr. 15, 1897 Linn Grove (Iowa). A large object was seen to fly
morning slowly toward the north. It seemed ready to land and
five men (F. G. Ellis, James Evans, David Evans, Joe
Croaskey, Benjamin Buland) drove toward it. About
7 km north of Linn Grove, they found the craft on
the ground, came within 700 m of it but it "spread
its four giant wings and rose towards the North." Two
strange figures aboard the craft made efforts to con-
ceal themselves. Witnesses were surprised at the
length of their hair. Most residents of Linn Grove
saw the craft in flight. (190)
19
Apr. 15, 1897 Howard-Artesian (South Dakota). A flying object
nightfall coming closer and closer to the ground followed a
train, as reported by the engineer, Joe Wright (FSR
66,4)
20
Apr. 15, 1897 Perry Springs (Missouri). A passenger train on the
2100 Wabash line, going toward Quincy, was followed by
a low-flying object for 15 min between Perry Springs
and Hersman. All the passengers saw the craft, which
had a red and white light. After Hersman it flew ahead
of the train and disappeared rapidly, although the
train was then running at 65 km/h. (190)
21
Apr. 15, 1897 Springfield (Illinois). Two farm workers, Adolph
Winkle and John Hulle, saw a strange craft in a field.
They had a discussion with its occupants, a woman
and two men, and were told the ship-had flown from
Quincy to Springfield in 30 min and that the crew.
was making electrical repairs. (FSR 65,1)
22
Apr. 16, 1897 Downs Township (Illinois). Approximate date. While
working in his field, Haney Savidge saw an aerial
craft land near him. Six people emerged from it and
spoke to him for a few minutes before leaving again.
(191)
23
Apr. 17, 1897 Williamston (Michigan). At least a dozen farmers
morning saw an object maneuver in the sky for an hour before
it landed. A strange man near 3 m tall, almost naked
and suffering from the heat, was the pilot of the
craft. "His talk, while musical, seemed to be a repeti-
tion of bellowings." One farmer went near him and
received a blow that broke his hip. (196)
24
Apr. 19, 1897 Leroy (Kansas). Alexander Hamilton was awakened
2230 by a noise among the cattle and went out with his
son and his tenant. They saw an elongated cigar-
shaped object, about 100 m long with a transparent
cabin underneath showing narrow reddish bands,
hovering 10 m above ground. They approached within
50 m of it. It was illuminated and equipped with a
searchlight. Inside it were "six of the strangest be-
ings" the witness had seen, also described as "hid-
eous." They spoke a language no witness could
understand. A cow was dragged away by the object
with the help of a strong red cable; it was found
butchered in a field the next day. (Anatomy 16; Ma-
gonia)
25
Apr. 20, 1897 Homan (Arkansas). Capt. James Hooton was hunt-
1800 ing in the vicinity of Homan when he heard the noise
of a steam engine and found an object in a clearing.
It looked like a cylinder with pointed ends, lateral
wheels, and horizontal blade over it. Hooton spoke
with a man who wore dark glasses and walked behind
the craft. There were three or four occupants. The
witness was told this was indeed "The Airship" and
that it used compressed air for propulsion. Hooton
saw the wheels spin as the craft rose and flew away.
(FSR 66, 4; Magonia)
26
Apr. 22, 1897 Rockland (Texas). John M. Barclay was intrigued
when his dog barked furiously and a high-pitched
noise was heard. He went out, saw a flying object
circling 5 m above ground. Elongated with protru-
sions and blinding lights, it went dark when it landed.
Barclay was met by a man who told him his purpose
was peaceful and requested some common hardware
items to repair the craft. He paid with a ten-dollar bill
and took off "like a bullet out of a gun." (192;
Magonia)
27
Apr. 22, 1897 Josserand (Texas). Frank Nichols, who lived 3 km
2400 east of Josserand and was one of its most respected
citizens, was awakened by a machine noise. Looking
outside, he saw a heavy, lighted object land in his
wheat field. He walked toward it, was stopped by two
men who asked permission to draw water from his
well. He then had a discussion with a half-dozen men,
the crew of the strange machine. He was told how it
worked but could not follow the explanation. (193;
Magonia)
28
Apr. 23, 1897 McKinney Bayou (Arkansas). Judge Lawrence A.
Byrne of Texarkana, Arkansas, was surveying a tract
of land when he saw a peculiar object anchored on
the ground. "It was manned by three men who spoke
a foreign language, but judging from their looks one
would take them to be Japs." (Farish, in Allende
Letters (Award Special, 1968) )
29
Apr. 25, 1897 Merkel (Texas). People returning from church ob-
evening served a heavy object being dragged along the ground
by a rope attached to a flying craft. The rope got
caught in a railroad track. The craft was too high for
its structure to be visible but protrusions and a light
could be distinguished. After about 10 min a man
came down along the rope cut the end free, and went
back aboard the craft, which flew away toward the
northeast. The man was small and dressed in a light-
blue uniform. (194; Magonia)
30
Apr. 26, 1897 Aquila-Hillsboro (Texas). Approximate date. A law-
yer was surprised to see a lighted object fly over. His
horse was scared and nearly toppled the carriage.
When the main light was turned off, a number of
smaller lights became visible on the underside of the
dark object, which supported an elongated canopy.
It went down toward a hill to the south, 5 km from
Aquila. When the witness was on his way back one
hour later he saw the object rising. It reached the
altitude of the cloud ceiling and flew to the northeast
at a fantastic speed with periodic flashes of light. (195)
31
May. 06, 1897 Hot Springs (Arkansas). Two policemen, Sumpter
and McLenore, were riding northwest of Hot Springs
when they saw a bright light in the sky. About 7 km
farther they saw the light again coming down to the
ground. One km farther the horses refused to walk.
Two men were seen carrying lights. The lawmen took
their rifles, called the strangers, and were told that
they crossed the country with a flying craft. The sil-
houette of the machine, about 2O m long, could be
seen in the clearing. There was a woman with an um-
brella nearby. It was raining, and the younger of the
men was filling a large container with water. The elder
man had a beard and suggested that the policemen
fly with them "to a place where it does not rain." The
same witness went back through the same spot 40
min later and found nothing. (FSR 66, 4; Magonia)
32
Oct. 28, 1902 Gulf of Guinea. Three persons aboard the "Fort Salis-
0305 bury," including Second Officer A. H. Raymer, saw a
huge, dark object bearing lights in the sea ahead. It
was observed sinking slowly. Estimated length: 200
m. (Fort 641; Anatomy 20)
33
1904 Rolling Prairie (Indiana). Tom Darby, with his
brother and mother, saw two whitish-blue objects
about 400 m away, from a point situated 3 km north
of Rolling Prairie. The objects hovered 2 or 3 m above
ground, flew toward a barn, came closer to each other,
and were hidden from view by a hill. (Hartle 164)
34
1908 Coast of Delaware. The English ship "Mohican,"
piloted by Capt. Urghart, was going to Philadelphia
when it was surrounded by a thick, luminous cloud
which "magnetized" everything on board. The com-
pass was observed to swing wildly. When seamen tried
to move some chains on the bridge, they found that
they were glued to the metal floor. Suddenly the cloud
rose and was seen above the sea for some time. (197)
35
Jun. 30, 1908 Podkamennaia Toungouska (USSR). Unexplained
explosion in the taiga, equivalent to a thermonuclear
blast, sometimes interpreted as the crash of an inter-
stellar vehicle. (Anatomy 18; Challenge 99)
36
May. 18, 1909 Caerphilly (Wales). Mr. Lethbridge was walking
2300 along a road near the mountains when he saw on the
grass a large tubelike machine. Aboard were two men
wearing furs and talking excitedly in a language the
witness could not understand. The grass was found
depressed at the site after the object had flown off.
(198; Anatomy 21)
37
Jun. 16, 1909 Donghoi (Annam). An elongated object following a
0410 west to east trajectory flew over the town. It gave off
a strong light and was seen by two fishermen to
plunge into the sea 6 km away from the coast, after a
steady flight of about 9 min. (Anatomy 21)
38
Jan. 1910 Invercargill (New Zealand). Several witnesses -
2300 among them the vicar, the Mayor, and a policeman
-saw a cigar-shaped object hovering at 30 m alti-
tude. A man appeared at a lateral door and was heard
shouting some words in an unknown language. The
opening closed, and the object accelerated and was
lost to sight. (Stuart 24)
39
Jun., 1914 Hamburg (Germany). Gustav Herwagen opened the
0400 door of his house and saw in a field a shining cigar-
shaped object with illuminated windows. Near it were
four or five dwarfs 1.20 m tall, clad in light clothing.
He approached them, but they went aboard the ob-
ject as soon as they appeared to be aware of his pres-
ence. A door closed, and the craft took off silently,
climbing vertically. (Nachrichten April, 62)
40
Aug., 1914 Georgian Bay (Canada). William J. Kiehl and seven
other persons saw a spherical craft on the surface of
the water. On its deck were two small men wearing
green-purple clothes. They seemed to be busy with a
hose, plunging it into the water. On the opposite side
were three men dressed in light brown, wearing square
masks down to their shoulders. Seeing the witnesses,
they reentered the craft except for one dwarf, wearing
shoes with a curved, pointed tip, who remained out-
side while the craft rose 3 m above the water and shot
upward, leaving a short trail. (199)
41
Aug. 21, 1915 Gallipoli (Turkey). During severe fighting in the
Dardanelles a peculiar cloud engulfed a British regi-
ment which was never seen again. This was observed
by 22 men of the First Field Company, NZ Army
Corps and stated in an affidavit. (Spaceview 45;
LDLN 82; Magonia)
42
Oct., 1917 Youngstown (Pennsylvania). John Boback, 17, was
walking along the railroad tracks between Youngs-
town and Mt. Braddock when he saw a saucer-shaped
object with a platform and rows of lights, sitting in a
field 30 m to his left. He watched the object for 1-2
min until it took off with a high-pitched sound, rising
gradually like a slow plane. Its size was that of an
average car. The top of the object was a dome with
elongated windows through which figures could be
seen. (Hartle 157)
43
1921 Marseilles (France). Undocumented report of an
"abduction" by two beings. (Quincy)
44
Feb. 22, 1922 Hubbell (Nebraska). William C. Lamb was follow-
0500 ing strange tracks when he heard a high-pitched sound
and saw a circular object intercepting starlight. It
became brilliantly lighted and landed in a hollow.
Soon afterword, a creature over 2.4 m tall was seen
flying from the direction where the object had landed.
It left tracks in the snow, which Lamb followed with-
out results. (Anatomy 22)
45
Sep. 09, 1922 Barmouth (Wales). John Morris and William James
saw an object fall into the ocean so slowly that it was
thought to be a plane. A boat was sent out, but
nothing was found. (Fort 639)
46
Jun. 12, 1929 Fermeneuve (Canada). Levis Brosseau, 2O was re-
2300 turning home when he saw a dark object with a yellow
light and his horse became very nervous. Within 6 m
of the object four or five dwarfish figures were running
back and forth. He heard their pointed, childlike
voices, then saw the dark object take off with a ma-
chinelike sound and a rush of air. Estimated size of
object: 15 m diameter, 5 m high. (GEPA Dec., 68)
47
Jul., 1929 Robsart (Canada). Five persons among them Einar
Rostivold, saw a huge ball of light giving off fiery
colors, 25 km from Robsart. It landed slowly, van-
ished gradually after illuminating the whole country-
side for 30 min. (Fate Jan., 58)
48
Summer, 1933 Chrysville (Pennsylvania). A man observed a faint
Morning violet light in a field between this town and Morres-
town. Walking to it, he found an ovoid object 3 m in
diameter and 2 m thick with a circular opening similar
to a vault door. Pushing it, he found the room full of
violet light and observed many instruments, no oc-
cupant. Smell of ammonia. (APRO Jul., 64)
49
Fall, 1938 (or following year) Juminda (Estonian coast). Two
persons saw a strange "frog-man" 1 m tall with a
round head, no neck, and a hump in front of the body.
The mouth was a large, straight slit, the eyes were like
smaller slits. The skin was brown-green, compared to
pegamoid, hands normal. The creature walked in a
peculiar "but elegant" fashion, the head waving up
and down while the legs moved "carefully." When
pursued, the creature accelerated very fast, with feet
"fluttering." About 100 m away it vanished com-
pletely'. (Personal)
50
Sep., 1943 Oncativo (Argentina). Navarro Ocampo, driving be-
0400 tween Rosario and Cordoba, saw a large, saucer-shaped
object on the ground 500 m to the left of the road. It
glowed with a bluish-green light, made a whistling
sound, rose to 100 m altitude, then left at fantastic
speed. A strange metal block is said to have been
found at the spot. (GEPA Dec., 68)
51
End Aug., 1944
Mattoon (Illinois). A mysterious man appeared at
windows, as if in search of someone. He stunned wit-
nesses by pointing at them a device that "made con-
sciousness dissolve" and left a strange cloying smell
behind (FSR 61, 3; Magonia)
52
1945 Habbebishopsheim (Germany). An American soldier
saw a disk-shaped object come down rapidly, oscillate,
and land. The site could not be found in the dark.
The event took place 35 km northwest of the town.
(Atic)
53
Mar., 1945 Belfast (Maine). A man out hunting observed an
elongated object flying very slowly, tilted toward the
earth. It crashed into some trees at the end of a clear-
ing. The enormous craft seemed undamaged as it
rested briefly on the ground, then lifted again with a
humming sound, started to spin, released a shower
of fine silvery threads, and rose straight up, disap-
pearing in seconds. (FS May., 59)
Mar., 1945 Aleutian Islands. Aboard the US attack transport
"Delarof," 14 sailors saw a dark sphere rise out of the
ocean, follow a curved trajectory, and fly away after
circling their ship. (Evidence 30)
55
Jun. 10, 1947 Douglas (Arizona). Coral Lorenzen saw a light rise
2300 from the ground in Mexican territory. It took a defin-
ite spherical shape and vanished in less than ten sec-
onds among the stars. (Lor. I 4)
56
Jun. 21, 1947 Maury Island, near Tacoma (Washington). Harold
A. Dahl and others allegedly saw six tire-shaped ob-
jects, 30 m in diameter, metallic with dark openings,
over Puget Sound. One of the objects exploded,
showering the witnesses with metal. Officially re-
garded as hoax. (Ruppelt)
57
Jun. 21, 1947 Spokane (Washington). Eight disk-shaped objects
1150 the size of a house, were seen flying at 1000 km/h. A
civilian woman stated that the objects fell with a dead-
leaf motion and landed before ten witnesses on the
shore of the Saint Joe River, in Idaho. (Atic)
58
Jun. 17, 1947 Bisbee (Arizona). John A. Petsche, electrical worker
1030 and another witness independently saw a disk-shaped
object, which seemed to land near Tintown. (Lor. I 6)
59
Jun. 30, 1947 Grand Canyon, near Williams Field (Arizona). A
0910 Navy lieutenant was flying at 9000 m toward the
south when he saw two circular objects diving at "un-
conceivable" speed. They were gray, about 3 m in
diameter, and appeared to land 40 km south of the
Grand Canyon. (Atic)
60
Jul. 08, 1947 Muroc Air Field (California). An Air Force major
1200 observed a metallic object, reflecting sunlight oscil-
late, go down to ground level, and rise again. Simul-
taneously it was observed by a captain in Rodgers Dry
Lake. (Atic)
61
Jul. 23, 1947 Bauru, near Pitanga (Brazil). A group of survey
workers ran away as they heard a hissing noise and
saw a disk land 50 m away. Jose C. Higgins saw two
figures through, a window. Later three beings in shiny
clothes and translucent suits, with oversized bald
heads, huge round eyes, no eyelashes or eyebrows, and
a metal box on their back, emerged from the craft.
They were over 2 m. tall. They drew the solar system
and pointed to Uranus as if to suggest that was their
point of origin. (Round-up 163; FSR 61, 6)
62
Aug. 13, 1947 Twin Falls, Smoke River Canyon (Idaho). Two boys
1300 and their father saw a sky-blue object 100 m away and
25 m above ground. Treetops under it were spinning
wildly, although the object itself did not spin. It made
a swishing sound. Shape: inverted plate, 7 m diameter
and 3.5 m thick. There was a red flame on one side of
the top. (Atic)
63
Aug. 14, 1947 Raveo (Italy). R. L. Johannis saw a disk on the ground
0900 and two dwarfs less than 1 m tall, wearing dark blue
coveralls with red collars and belts. They had over-
sized heads, greenish faces, huge, salient dark eyes
without eyelashes or eyebrows, but surrounded by a
ringlike muscle. They wore something similar to crash
helmets. The center of their belts projected a "vapor,"
and the witness suffocated, feeling a strong electrical
discharge. The creature had greenish hands with
eight talonlike fingers. (Humanoids 2; Magonia; FRS
67, 1)
64
1948 Swastika (Canada). Mr. Galbraith twice saw an ob-
ject land. The first time, it was a disk-shaped craft
with a humanoid figure-the second time, cigar
shape with three figures. (Quincy)
65
Jul. 29, 1948 Indianapolis (Indiana). An object swept over a road
at 10 m altitude. (Atic)
66
Aug. 11, 1948 Hamel (Minnesota). Two boys were playing outside
1200 when a round dull gray object 70 cm in diameter, 30
cm thick, landed near them like a balloon with a
metallic noise. It spun, went up, hovered, maneuvered
to avoid Phone lines and trees, and flew away to
the northeast. An FBI man from St. Paul found an
area 70 cm in diameter where the ground showed signs
of extreme pressure. (Atic)
67
Aug. 29, 1948 Maplewood (Ohio). A farmer observed a silvery
0503 sphere of large dimension rise from a wooded area and
hover above his farm, dropping a silvery substance
that disintegrated before touching the ground. (Atic)
68
Feb., 1949 Pucusana (Peru). C. A. V. an oil company employee,
1630 30, was driving to Lima when he saw a shiny disk at
ground level. He walked toward it for 10 min. Three
figures came out as he was 20 m away. They looked
like mummies, had joined legs and one large foot.
They "slid" along the ground. They were covered
with a strange "towely" skin, asked the witness where
they were, had a lengthy discussion with him, and
took him for a trip in their craft. (Lor. III 122)
69
Feb. 17, 1949 France (exact location unknown). Alain Berard saw
night a large, bright object land near his farm with a green
lightning flash. It became dark. As he approached the
craft, the witness saw three figures with stocky short
legs, apparently without heads. Frightened, he fired
at them three times. A moment later the object took
off vertically. (Oltre il Cielo, Vol. I)
70
Aug. 19, 1949 Death Valley (California). Two prospectors are said
to have observed a disk-shaped object land. Two
dwarfs emerged but were lost in the sand dunes when
pursued. The object disappeared. (Humanoids 52)
71
Fall, 1949 Tulsa (Oklahoma). Don Bushnell, plant superin-
tendent with Southwestern Porcelain Steel Corp., saw
an object fall in front of his car as his radio was
blocked. He applied the brakes; object vanished.
(KeyhoeS)
72
Jan. 29, 1950 South Table Mountain (Colorado). Mr. Quintana
of Denver saw a silvery-green ovoid object hovering
about 15 m above a slope and landing slowly in a
small ravine. Then it shot upward at very high speed.
Its diameter was about 20 m, and it had a revolving
middle band. A greenish light flashed under it, and
the witness felt a rush of air and a pungent smell.

Mar. 18, 1950 Lago Argentino (Argentina). A rancher, Wilfredo H.
1830 Arevalo, saw two objects, one of which landed. He
walked within 150 m of the aluminum-looking craft
which gave off a greenish-blue vapor and "an intense
smell of burning benzine." A large, flat section on
top was revolving above a glass cabin in which could
be seen four tall men, dressed in something like
cellophane, working at various instruments. They saw
him and shone a light in his direction while a blue
light illuminated the craft; the vapor increased and
flames (alternately reddish and greenish) shot out of
the base while the object rose with a faint hum. Both
craft flew away toward Chile, leaving bluish trails.

Apr., 1950 Juneau (Alaska). Mikel Konrad made a movie of
eight disks he saw landing and taking off 60 km north
of Jun.au. (Quincy)
75
Apr. 08, 1950 Kokomo (Indiana). A metal worker was awakened
0200 by his dog and observed an object 60 m away at low
altitude. It was a gray metal disk, 5 m in diameter,
shaped like a top with a kind of turret. It was oscil-
lating, spinning slowly, and had three portholes shin-
ing with a blue-white light. It hovered for about 2
min, left toward the north, very fast. (Atic)
76
Apr. 08, 1950 River Road near Amarillo (Texas). David, 12, and
afternoon Charles, 9, Lightfoot saw a disk land behind a hill
and touched it. It was the size of a car tire, about 30
cm high, with a rounded top that rotated and a pivot
between the base and the top. It took off very fast.
The faces and arms of the boys later became red.

77
Apr. 20, 1950 Lufkin (Texas). Jack Robertson was driviug about
night 13 km west of town when he saw a round object about
3 m in diameter hovering about 7 m above him with
a dull red glow. It took off with a "swooshing roar"
as sparks flew from a slot under it. Minutes later the
witness feIt a burning sensation on his face. (FS
Jul., 59)
78
Apr. 24, 1950 Abbiate Guazzone (Italy). Bruno Facchini heard and
2200 saw sparks coming from a dark, hovering object, near
which a man dressed in tight-fitting clothes and wear-
ing a helmet seemed to be making repairs. Three
other men were seen near the craft. When the work
was finished, a trap through which light had been
shining was closed and the thing took off. The witness
had the time to note many details of the machine and
its occupants. (FSR 63, 2; Magonia)
79
May. 07, 1950 Ely (Nevada). A couple and their grandson were re-
1845 turning from a picnic when, about 14 km south of
Ely, they saw a silvery-white object at treetop level.
It hovered for 10 min, then oscillated "as if attempt-
ing to rise" and suddenly flew out of sight at high
speed. (Atic)
80
Jul. 02, 1950 Steep Rock Lake (Canada). In a story strangely sim-
ilar to that of Mr. Kiehl (Aug., 1914) (Case 40) a
man and his wife saw a double saucer with portholes
and a rotating antenna come to rest on the surface of
the lake. Ten figures, 1.20 m tall, dressed in shiny
clothing, emerged and walked on deck like robots
"changing direction without turning their bodies."
Their faces could not be seen. One of them wore a
red cap, had darker arms and legs and "seemed to be
their chief." They immersed a hose in the lake, then
took off. Fishermen later reported a green moss form-
ing on the lake. (Wilkins U)
81
Jul. 20, 1950 Porto Novo (Brazil). Mr. Campello and several
others in a car saw two large, silvery objects by the
side of the road, one on a hillock, the other on flat
ground, about 50 m away from each other. They came
within 600 m of the objects, which went away at "an
incredible speed," causing a rush of air that rocked
the car. (SBEDV 30)
82
Jun. 19, 1951 Sonderborg (Denmark). Joseph Matiszewski, a me-
1200 chanic, heard a whistling sound and saw an object
land in a meadow. Approaching within 50 m, he
found himself paralyzed and observed that birds had
stopped singing and cows seemed to be similarly un-
able to move. From the object emerged four hand-
some men who had brown skin and wore black shiny
suits and translucent helmets. Eight objects also
emerged from the craft and hovered above it. Other
men inside the craft and on its deck appeared to be
making repairs, then the objects flew to about 100 m
altitude and climbed rapidly out of sight. Only then
did the paralysis subside. (Nachrichten May., 59)
83
Sep. , 1951 Central Australia. A group of Unmatjera aborigines
observed a shiny circular object land near a similar
craft, about 12 m in diameter. Several min later, a
dwarf dressed in a shiny suit and having "a round,
shiny head" came out of one craft and entered the
other; both took off with a buzzing sound. (Edwards
93)
84
Oct. 26, 1951 Australia. The driver of a transcontinental train on
0400 the east-west line saw an object that illuminated the
countryside like the full moon. It flew very fast, came
close to the train, appeared ready to land in the
desert, then took off and disappeared. (Wilkins A
249)
85
Nov. 2, 1951 Mojave (California). Two forest observers were in a
2300 canyon 50 km north of the Mojave when they saw a
disk-shaped flying object in the southwest; 10 m esti-
mated diameter, 3 m thick, blue-green, well-defined,
surrounded with a glow of same color. Stopping their
jeep, they signaled to the object, which approached
within a few meters, flew away, seemed to play with
them. Eventually it vanished "like a magician's
trick." (Atic)
86
Dec., 1951 Peru (Nebraska). A man from Lincoln was driving to
0300 Indiana when he saw a blue light in the northwest
sky. It vanished to the southeast. The witness missed
a turn, had to go back toward Auburn, and had
reached a point northwest of Peru when he saw an
orange glow in the sky. Coming near, he observed
the glow came from a cauldron-shaped object on the
ground, about 12 m from the road. He stopped to
examine the object, which measured about 10 m
diameter and seemed to be made of cast iron. Thirty
cm from the top was a row of windows, 25 cm in
diameter, from which the orange light was coming.
On the other side was a blue flamelike glow. There
was no noise, no sign of life or activity, and no an-
tenna or protrusion. The witness drove away. (Atic)
87
Dec., 1951 Red Springs (North Carolina). Sam Coley and his
two children saw an object with a human-looking
occupant. (Humanoids 52)
88
Jan., 1952 Weston (Wyoming). A 38-year-old rancher saw a
2230 "shooting star" that suddenly stopped in mid-air be-
tween him and a mountain. It was seen spinning in a
clockwise direction. It had one red window period-
ially facing the observer. It went down toward the
Little Powder River and came up again. The witness
turned his car to send light signals, to which the object
seemed to respond by stopping its red window facing
the witness's location. Spinning resumed, the object
rose and came down. A similar craft arrived and both
went into the deep valley, out of sight. (Atic)
89
Early 1952 Goose Bay (Labrador). A fiery, spherical object made
2242 a right-angle turn during an observation by a C-54
crew flying from Westover to Goose Bay. It was also
seen from the ground by the control tower and by two
men who plunged to the earth when the object made
a low pass at them. It went away at 2247. (Quincy)
90
Summer, 1952 Itenhaem (Brazil). A woman was awakened by a
0300 thunderclap and a strong bluish light. As she got out,
she saw a large number of hovering disk-shaped ma-
chines resembling "inverted soup plates" 200 m away
at an altitude of about 1 m. She observed them for
30 min, saw two figures standing on one of the craft
and looking at the sky. They went back inside, and
shortly thereafter the "fleet" took off, one object at a
time. (FSR 68,1)
91
Summer, 1952 Martin County (Texas). Mrs. Rogers saw an object
descend slowly and pass across a pasture at 7 m alti-
tude. She stopped her car and observed it was "wob-
bling" in mid-air, was shaped like a turtle, and showed
three oarlike protrusions that moved slowly. Esti-
mated dimensions: 5 by 4 m, 1 m thick. It was
greenish-gray in color, emitted a blue flame, but
showed no other light. (Barker 78)
Jun. 15, 1952 Magneville (France). Men at work in the forest saw
large, circular objects similar to parachutes coming
down. Half a dozen witnesses. (France-Soir Jun. 18,
52)
93
Jul. 11, 1952 Hasselbach (Germany). Oscar Linke, former Wehr-
macht major, and his daughter Gabrielle, 11, had to
leave their motorcycle when they had a flat tire. In-
side the woods the girl noticed two men in silvery
suits examining the ground in a clearing near a pink
disk-shaped object, 8 m in diameter, showing a double
row of openings around the rim and a black turret on
top. One of the men had a flashing box. Both men
went inside, and the disk vibrated, rose along the
turretlike cylinder, then spun faster and rose out of
sight. (Guieu 52)
94
Jul. 20, 1952 Dai-el-Aouagri (Morocco). Approximate date. R.
0030 Petijean saw a luminous object, 20 m diameter, on the
ground. It gave off bluish flashes as it took off, leaving
a smell of burning sulphur. (Quincy)
95
Jul. 24, 1952 Vico (Italy). A man who was fishing in the Serchio
night River saw a disk hovering for 10 min. From it hung
a hose that plunged into the water. The object was
20 m in diameter, with five propellers in the rear and
a dome with something like blades on top. An orange
glow could be seen through slits along the deck. A
man wearing a diving helmet looked at the witness
through a window, and he received a kind of electric
shock as a "green ray" hit him. He looked up with
difficulty, in time to see the object fly away toward
the east. Six days later a stranger with a foreign accent
contacted the witness and intimidated him. (FSR
69,1)
96
Jul. 29, 1952 Enid (Oklahoma). Sidney Eubank went to the Enid
police station and told Sergeant Vern Bennell that
an enormous disk had buzzed his car as he drove be-
tween Bison and Waukonis on Highway 81. The rush
of air made the car leave the road while the object
flew west very fast. (Anatomy 134)
97
Aug. 19, 1952 West Palm Beach (Florida). Ronny Desvergers saw
evening a large, round, dark object above him in a clearing. It
had a turret on top. Red balls of light were emitted
by the object and burned him. He also observed a
"hideous" creature aboard the craft. Grass roots were
scorched at the site. (Ruppelt 222; Magonia)
98
Aug. 24, 1952 Frontenac (Kansas). A man driving through a wood
0600 encountred a strange object and stopped to observe
it. It looked like two turtle shells glued together, about
25 m long, with a humanoid creature in what ap-
peared to be a control cabin in front. Windows lighted
by an intense blue light and a throbbing sound were
also reported. The object was oscillating and suddenly
flew straight up with a strong humming noise. The
middle section supported what looked like propellers.
The object hovered 3 m above ground. (Atic)
99
Aug. 27, 1952 Lamberton (North Carolina). A saucer-shaped craft,
3 by 2 m, landed on the witness's property after hitting
a chimney. A little man, about 70 cm tall, emerged
and was asked whether he was hurt, but he did not
answer. The craft took off with a whistling sound.
(Wilkins A 268)
100
Aug. 31, 1952 Pennsylvania, exact location unknown. Herbert Long
saw an object land 15 m away from the road. He made
a drawing of it. (Wilkins A 257)
101
Sep. 12, 1952 Flatwoods (West Virginia). A group of young
sunset people saw a "meteor" land on top of a hill and went
to the site with Kathleen Hill and three men. They
observed a globe as large as a house making a throb-
bing or hissing sound and a huge figure with glowing
orange eyes nearby. About 4 m tall, the figure had a
red face and "floated" toward the witnesses, who fled
in terror. A lingering smell and skid marks were
found. (Humanoids 52)
102
Sep. 13, 1952 Frametown (West Virginia). Mr. and Mrs. George
Snitowski and their little girl suddenly found their
car stalled, and an unpleasant smell (ether mixed with
sulphurous smoke) filled the air. Mr. Snitowski
thought a chemical plant might be burning in the area
and walked toward a strong light visible in the woods,
in spite of the nauseous smell. Coming near it, he felt
pricklings throughout his body, had to stop, lost his
balance several times as he returned to the car-
where he found his wife terrified, pointing to a giant
creature (3 m tall), human-shaped, 10 m away. They
locked the car as "it" inspected the vehicle, glided
away and went into the woods. Soon afterward, the
sphere of light was observed to rise gradually, to swing
like a pendulum, and to leave a luminous trail. (Paul
Lieb)
103
Oct. 15, 1952 Le Vigan (France). Approximate date. Figures with
1910 helmets and masks were seen through lighted windows
inside a bright yellow, cigar-shaped object on the
ground. Length 30 m, diameter 6 m. Forward section
was rounded, and a sort of fog was noted at both ends
of object. (Quincy; Anatomy 62)
104
Oct. 27, 1952 Marignane Airport (France). Customs officer Ga-
0203 briel Gachignard observed a cigar-shaped object land
briefly on the airfield 100 m away, producing a dull
sound. The object was dark with four lighted win-
dows. It took off with a "swish" and a shower of
sparks when the witness ran toward it. (Challenge 6)
105
Nov., 1952 Dublin (Ireland). A child was burned when a strange
disk, 25 cm in diameter, landed near Dublin. (Per-
sonal)
106
Nov. 18, 1952 Castelfranco (Italy). Nello Ferrari, 41, a farmer,
found himself flooded with a reddish light and saw
a large plate 10 m above him, between gold and cop-
per in color. At the center of the bottom surface, 20 m
in diameter, was a cylinder of 5 m diameter made of
rapidly rotating parts, producing a noise similar to
that of an electric motor. On the upper surface was a
turret inside which three occupants were visible, look-
ing directly at the witness. They looked perfectly
human, wore rubber coveralls and transparent face
masks. They spoke a few words, which were not
understood; a loud metallic noise was heard; and the
top part of the object lowered itself toward the lower
plate. The sound gained intensity, and the craft flew
vertically at very high speed. (102)
107
Nov. 21, 1952 Belle-Ile (France). At a place alled "La Butte" a
luminous sphere, which seemed to spin, its color
changing from orange to white, was seen at low alti-
tude. It oscillated left and right, then took off toward
the southwest, according to the witness, Mr. Gauci.
(Challenge 56)
108
Jan. 29, 1953 Conway (South Carolina). Hearing a commotion in
his barn, a farmer observed an object about 7 m long
and 4 m wide at treetop level. It was light gray in
color and lit up inside. It resembled a half egg. The
witness fired his gun at the object. Numerous livestock
died "mysteriously" in the area after the sighting.

May. 20, 1953 Brush Creek (California). Two miners, John Q.
1830 Black, 48, and John Van Allen, reported that an
object, silvery, 2.5 m in diameter, 2 m thick, with a
tripod landing gear, landed on a sand bar 50 m away
from them. An occupant described as a broad-
shouldered dwarf wearing clothing that covered the
head and the trunk was also seen. His arms and legs
were covered with tweedlike cloth fastened at the
wrists and ankle. He filled a shiny pail with water
and handed it to someone inside the craft. He then
appeared to notice Black and jumped into the craft,
which made a hissing sound and departed. (Human-
oids 53)
110
Jun. 18, 1953 Houston (Texas). Howard Phillips, Hilda Walker
0230 and Judy Meyers saw in a garden at 118 East Third
Street a strange "shadow" on the lawn which re-
sembled a "flying man," and they watched it take off.
(Wilkins A 261)
111
Jun. 20, 1953 Brush Creek (California). John Q. Black, witness of
1830 the May. 20 incident, observed an exact repetition of
the scene, including the "little man." Van Allen saw
only the landing marks, about 30 cm wide and re
sembling elephant tracks. (Humanoids 53)
112
Jun. 24, 1953 Hampton Bay (Long Island). A civilian woman saw
0018 something like "a large aircraft" flying very slowly
and low. It had a lighted red band around the middle
and was coming straight toward her house with an
oscillating motion. She still thought it was an aircraft
of some new design when it stopped near her, 25 m
above ground. Then it flew backward over the water
and hovered, making the same noise as a swarm of
bees. The top section supported a series of red lights
and a cabin with four portholes through which a con-
trol panel was visible. No occupant was seen. The
cabin rose above the object, rotated, then glided back.
The object tilted toward the west and rose toward the
southeast, disappearing within 3 sec at an 80 degree angle
of climb after the 3-min sighting. Diameter: 30 m.
Two days later a yellowish moss was observed at the
site. (Atic)
113
Jul. 02, 1953 Villares des Saz (Spain). Approximate date. An il-
1300 literate boy cowherd, Maximo Munos Olivares, 14,
saw a "big balloon" on the ground behind him when
a faint whistling attracted his attention. Shaped like
a water jug, it was metallic. Through an opening came
three dwarfs 60 cm tall, with yellow faces, narrow
eyes, and oriental features. They spoke in a language
he could not understand. They were dressed in blue,
had a sort of flat hat with a visor in front and a metal
sheet on their arms. One of them smacked the boy's
face, then they reentered the machine, which glowed
very brightly, made a soft whistling sound and went
off "like a rocket." Footprints and four holes 5 cm
deep forming a perfect square 36 cm in side were
found by police. (Humanoids 29)
114
Jul. 31, 1953 Wolin (Poland). A metallic object 30 m in diameter
1900 was observed by five Polish and two German workers
as it landed in a field close to a railway. It was shaped
like a sphere with a flat disk around it, showing
numerous openings at the periphery. (Intelligence
Digest Nov., 53)
115
Aug. 16, 1953 Tours (France). Claude Pasquier saw two disks flying
2030 very low, quite slowly, along a straight course, with a
"hard" sound. (Anatomy 65, 141)
116
Aug. 18, 1953 Ciudad Valleys (Mexico). Approximate date. Cab
evening driver Salvador Villanueva, 40, observed two creatures
1.2 m tall wearing coveralls with wide, shiny, per-
forated belts, metal collars, and small, black, shiny
boxes on their backs. They had helmets under their
arms. The witness thought they were pilots of Indian
race. One of them spoke to him in Spanish, "stringing
the words together" in a strange accent. Trivial mat-
ters were discussed until dawn, when they returned to
their craft, 13 m in diameter, through a staircase under
the lower disk. The witness ran away when invited to
follow them. The object rose with a pendulum mo-
tion and shot up vertically. (Humanoids 32; FSR 56, 2)
117
Sep. 04, 1953 Tonnerre (France). A woman saw two objects on the
2130 ground and three 1.5-m-tall men running toward the
craft. They had oversized heads and wore helmets
and boots. One entered the elongated object, 5 m
long, 1.5 m wide, which spread "wings" that made it
look like a butterfly. It then took a vertical position,
resting on a tripod, and took off with the spherical
object into which the other two creatures had gone.
Traces were found at the spot. (GEPA 68, 1)
118
Sep. 12, 1953 Brovst (Denmark). Brovst was the scene of an at-
tempted abduction of a girl by two humanoids emit-
ting a golden light. Their hands were rugged and cold
like a fish. (Guieu)
119
Oct. 25, 1953 Santa Fe (New Mexico). Jim Milligan, 16, was driv-
2130 ing through a park when he saw something fall in
front of his car and stopped as the object landed in
some bushes. He walked toward it, found a craft that
looked like two ship hulls, about 3 m long, 2 m wide
glued together. When he tried to touch it, the object
flew away. (Wilkins A 223)
120
Nov., 1953 Gjasjoen Bridge (Norway). Mr. Trygve, Mrs. Bufflot
and a neighbor saw an object rise from behind a hill,
oscillate over a lake, follow their car, and stop ahead
of them just above the ground. They stopped, felt
"pricklings" until the craft took off vertically. A watch
stopped working, and numerous people vouch for the
fact that the paint on the car changed from dark
beige to bright green. (APRO Mar., 62; FSR 56, 5)
121
Dec., 1953 Sherbrook (Canada). Mrs. Orfei heard a knock at
the door in the middle of the night and obtained no
answer when she asked who it was. When more furi-
ous knocks were heard, her Alsatian dog jumped to-
ward the door, but suddenly retreated, trembling as
if terrified and retired to a corner. Mrs. Orfei went
to an upper door and saw two "indescribable" shadows
go away from the house. A while later a big, round
object took off 100 m away with a blue-green lightning.
The police found broken bushes as evidence of an
enormous weight. (Oltre il Cielo, Vol. I)

124
Feb., 1954 Todd River Downs (Australia). A native was riding
a horse over a low ridge when a spherial object about
13 m in diameter "nearly skittled me off my horse."
It went up suddenly with a heavy wind, rumbling
and emitting four columns of smoke. (Wilkins U 211)
125
Feb., 1954 Peakskill (New York). Mr. and Mrs. Forster stated
they saw a craft on the ground, with a woman close
by. She was wearing luminous clothing, a sort of hood,
and thick glasses and held a tube in one hand and a
box in the other. Mrs. Forster had to be taken to the
hospital in a state of shock. (Barker)
126
Mar., 1954 Santa Maria (Brazil). Rubem Hellwig was driving
1700 when he saw a football-shaped machine, the size of a
Volkswagen, on the ground. He walked toward it and
met two men of slim build, normal height, their faces
brownish, wearing no helmets. One was inside the
object while the other collected grass samples. They
spoke to Hellwig in a strange language, and yet he
said he understood they were asking for ammonia.
He directed them to a nearby town. The craft van-
ished silently and instantly with blue and yellow
flames. (1; Humanoids 33)
127
Mar., 1954 Santa Maria (Brazil). Rubem Hellwig again saw a
early strange machine the next day. He observed a tall, fair-
complexioned man and two women, who had light
brown skin, long black hair, dark, slanted eyes. All
three wore one-piece garments of a fabric resembling
suede, with zippers. They told Hellwig that they were
scientists, spoke of the natural riches of Brazil, and
expressed surprise that he did not run away. (1;

Apr. 22, 1954 San Nicholas Island (California). American military
1400 personnel saw a cigar-shaped object of a gray color
coming to the ground. Smoke was seen to rise where
it landed, but a search yielded no results. (Atic)
129
May. 18, 1954 Cannon Air Force Base (New Mexico). Two persons
1900 witnessed the landing of a lens-shaped object the size
of a house. It came to the ground near the railroad
tracks, kicking up a small sand storm in the desert.
One witness first decided to approach it, then ran
away in fear. (Binder)
130
May. 20, 1954 Bruton (Great Britain). Nigel Frapple was cycling
0200 home from a dance in Wincanton. At Redlynch
crossroads, he saw an orange glow in a field and
observed it from a hedge. It came from a huge object
35 m away, less than 7 m above the ground, which
made a throbbing sound. After 1 min, it moved to-
ward the northwest, accelerating and climbing. (2;
Humanoids 3)
131
Jun. 09, 1954 East Dandenong (Australia). Janet Brown, 16, and a
1820 13-year-old friend heard a loud noise and saw a large,
dark object that "burst into light" hovering 20 m
away at the height of a factory gate. It was cylindrical,
10 m long, 5 m high, with a canopy on top. It flew
away and was lost to sight behind some trees. (Wil-
kins U 216)
132
Jun. 21, 1954 Ridgeway (Canada). Mr. and Mrs. Guy Baker saw a
disk, about 14 m in diameter, with a dome and several
rotating lights. They had to push their car, which
could not be started until the object left the ground.
They found a large, brown, circular spot in the pasture
where the disk had been resting. (104)
133
Jul. 7, 1954 Garson (Canada). A miner saw a landed object and
a giant man with strange, burning eyes. He fainted.
When he regained consciousness, object and entity
had vanished. Investigated by the Royal Canadian
Air Force. (Keyhoe C 184)
134
Jul. 20, 1954 Oslo (Norway). Near this city, two men were chased
by an object and stopped their car to observe it. After
the sighting, a watch stopped working and the paint
on the car allegedly changed color. (Challenge 129;

135
Aug. 10, 1954 Hemmingford (Canada). The Coupal childrm said
2130 that a brightly lighted object followed them to the
farm. Mr. Coupal and his oldest son went to the field
where the children had been playing and saw an
orange object rise and speed off to the west. Grass
was flattened over 15 m, with two tracks about 5 m
long. (Wilkins U 237)

Oct. 20, 1954 Lusigny Forest (France). Roger Reveille saw an oval
object, 6 m long, at treetop level, and felt intense
heat from it. It took off vertically at great speed. In-
side the woods, the heat had become intolerable and
a cloud of dense smoke was forming under the rain.
After 15 min the witness was able to approach the
site, and he found the trees, grass, and ground per-
fectly dry. (Quincy; M 204)
293
Oct. 20, 1954 Saint-Valery (France). Several unknown objects
maneuvered for 2 hrs near this village. One of them
was very brilliant and landed in a pasture. Two others
were seen near the cliff in Mers, and seemed to be in
communication by means of light signals with objects
in another group. (75)
294
Oct. 20, 1954 Turquenstein (France). Mr. Schoubrenner, 25, a
1830 truck driver, saw a bright light in the distance and
soon found his road blocked by a strange object. The
engine died, and he felt paralyzed: "My hands were
as though glued to the wheel." The craft looked like
an inverted cone, the lower part phosphorescent, the
middle dull, the top luminous with a yellow or orange
point. (76; M 204)
295
Oct. 20, 1954 Panavicino d'Erba (Italy). Renzo Pugina, 37, bad
night just put his car in the garage when he saw a strange
being covered with a "scaly" luminous suit, about 1.3
m tall, standing near a tree. The creature aimed the
beam from a sort of flashlight at him, and he felt
paralyzed, until a motion he made when clenching
his fist on the garage keys seemed to free him. He
attacked the intruder, who rose and fled with a soft
whirring sound. An oily spot was found at the site.

vertically leaving a red trail. (78)
297
Oct. 21, 1954 Melito (Italy). A young man walking in a field heard
a rustling noise and saw a strange craft land nearby.
Getting closer to investigate, he saw a pilot with a
diving suit coming out of the craft, which emitted
bronze-green rays of light, flooding the whole country-
side. The witness was paralyzed. A dog barking about
100 m away caused the rapid escape of the pilot into
the craft, which took off. (88)
298
Oct. 21, 1954 Ranton (Great Britain). Near Shrewsbury, Jennie
1645 Roestenberg and her two children observed a disk-
shaped, aluminum object hovering above the house.
Through two transparent panels they saw two men
with white skin, long hair to their shoulders, and very
high foreheads. They wore transparent helmets and
turquoise-blue clothing, resembling ski suits. The ob-
ject hovered at a tilted angle while the two occupants
looked at the scene "sternly, not in an unkind fashion,
but almost sadly, compassionately." (Humanoids 4)
299
Oct. 21, 1954 Criteuil-la-Madeleine (France). The car driven by a
2000 bricklayer, Mr. Fillonnau, stoped as a large ball of
fire flew near it. A violent air displacement was felt.
"The battery was dead and the headlights were
burned out." Thorough police investigation failed to
identify the cause of the phenomenon. (79)

Oct. 21, 1954 Pouzou (France). Between Serifere and Paille, a man
2130 from Cherbonnieres suddenly felt painful pricklings
similar to electric shocks and his 4-year-old child
started crying. They felt increasing pain as the car
went on, and suddenly the engine died and the lights
went off. They were blinded by a strong red light,
which turned orange. It came from an object hover-
ing above the road, and everything returned to normal
when it went away. (80; M 341 )

and took off. (89)
303
Oct. 23, 1954 Tripoli (Libya). A farmer saw a flying craft descend
0300 to ground level about 50 m away, with a sound like
that of a compressor. It was an egg-shaped machine
with six wheels and complex machinery. The top half
was transparent, flooded with bright white light.
Aboard were six men in yellowish coveralls, having
human faces and masks. When he touched part of
the craft, the witness felt a strong electric shock. One
of the occupants motioned for him to stay away. For
the next 2O min, the witness was able to observe the
six men, apparently busy with instruments. Reliable
investigations were made. (Personal; Magonia)

Oct. 27, 1954 Ciolica Alta (Italy). A young man named Fabrizio
1400 Bruni heard a strange hissing sound and saw an object
in a field. It was stationary, 1 m above the ground,
seemed transparent and emitted a blinding glare. The

tions" at the sight. The object took off vertically and
suddenly, leaving a trail. Very white, glistening
threads were found on the ground. (93)
317
Oct. 27, 1954 Les-Jonquerets-de-Livet (France). A farmer, Gilbert
1930 Hee, was gathering pears when he suddenly saw an
elongated object with a light at both ends resting in
the pasture. He dared not investigate, but he saw
cows gathering around the object. A minute later, the
lights went out, and the witness lost interest and went
home. Two hours later, an 18-year-old man named
Cheradame fell from his motorcycle as it suddenly
failed at the same spot, and alerted neighbors saw
the object again. It had moved only slightly and two
occupants were seen. They were about 1 m tall, walked
in stiff fashion, and had clothes resembling bright
armor. They vanished suddenly, and the craft took off
without noise. (Personal)

large as the sun, red and purple, spinning rapidly, was
seen descending swiftly toward the ground and then
it vanished. Investigation by local police. (Personal)
322
Oct. 30, 1954 Muro Lucano (Italy). Two objects were seen by
0930 hunters. One touched the ground 50 m away. It was
rhomboidic, and from the bottom a cylinder was
hanging. A peculiar sound could be heard. The object
shifted its position and the cylinder hit trees, bounc-
ing three times. Then the craft gained altitude and
flew away, leaving a bluish trail. (82)
323
Oct. 31, 1954 Corrompu (France). Near Long, P. Petit and his em-
ployee, Mr. Tillier, with a shop owner, Mr. Pecquet,
saw an oval object on the ground. When it took off,
the lights of a tractor went out. It measured about

torch. It came back, turned, and flew to the south-
west. It made the same noise as a swarm of bees.
(Personal)
324
Nov. 01, 1954 Poggio d'Ambra (Italy). A 40-year-old lady going to
0730 a cemetery suddenly observed an object, shaped like
two cones with a common base, resting on a grassy
space. Two small seats were visible inside the lower
cone. From behind the object appared two dwarfs,
1 m tall, wearing gray coveralls and reddish helmets.
Speaking words she could not understand, and with
smiles that showed fine white teeth, they took a pot
of flowers from the witness and flew away. (Personal;

When they came close to it, the being wrapped itself
in a bluish cloud. The witnesses ran away. (90)
326
Nov. 03, 1954 Oued Beth (Morocco). Maroc-Presse reported that
0700 one of its employees, Mr. E., driver of a delivery truck,
"a man of sane judgment and excellent eyesight,"
observed an object flying over the Beth River. "I am
positive it was not an aircraft or any known machine
but a circular, flat craft which had the appearance of
copper. It flew normally for some time, then it sud-
denly flipped over. Therefore, I was able to see the
whole disk and was amazed when it came down into a
field where it landed on edge, very gently. Almost im-
mediately it rose into the sky at great speed, resumed
its horizontal position and was soon lost to sight."
(95)
327
Nov. 04, 1954 Pontal (Brazil). Jose Alves was fishing in the Pardo
night River when he suddenly saw a craft approach with a
wobbling motion and landing near him. Shaped like
two washbowls placed together, it was about 4.5 m in
diameter. Too terrified to move, the witness saw three
little men, dressed in white, wearing tight-fitting skull
caps, with dark skin, come out of the craft, gather
vegetables and water and fly away. (Humanoids 33;
Lor. I 44)
328
Nov. 05, 1954 La Coruna (Spain). Gonzalo Rubinos Ramos, whose

meters long." The other two were holding objects
that looked like weapons. Another witness fled and
felt pricklings o
Jul. 03, 1955 Stockton (Georgia). Mrs. Wesley Symmonds was
driving near this town when she saw four "bug-eyed"
creatures near the road. They were small beings with
thin arms, large eyes, and pointed chins. Two were
turned away from the witness; one was bending over
with something like a stick in its hand; and the fourth
one was facing her with its right arm raised. It had
bulging eyes, a sort of cap, no visible mouth, a long
pointed nose, a chin which came to a sharp point, and
long thin arms with claws. (Stringfield; Humanoids

Jul. 18, 1955 Plessiel Airfield, near Abbeville (France). Mr. Maupin
0300 and five other witnesses on the airfield were blinded
by a light from a disk-shaped object 150 m away. It
left orange glows in its trail. Silent, flying slowly, it
hovered near the Metro station, close to the ground,
but did not actually land. It left toward the northwest.
A woodsman from Mareul-Caubert, Mr. Rolle, saw
the object half-an-hour earlier. It came from the
direction of Amiens. (Personal)

witnesses were tourists, who went straight to the Arles
police. (105)
368
Aug. 01, 1955 Chardon Road (Ohio). Mr. Sheneman, who was com-
2100 ing from Willoughby, came out of his car and saw a
circular object with a red light on it that came down
fast, hovered, and emitted two beams of light. The
witness fled toward his house, and the object appeared

about 1.20 m tall, dressed in skin-tight black clothes.
It held its arms close to its sides, its feet close together,
and walked by a series of jumps. On its chest was a
silver disk perforated with holes. It turned off sud-
denly into a passageway and was lost to sight. The
witnesses were too amazed to follow it. (Constance

Aug. 21, 1955 Hopkinsville (Kentucky). The Sutton family saw a
2030 light landing near their farmhouse, then several night-
marish entities about 1 m tall, with glowing silver
clothing, an oversized round head, huge eyes and
ears, and a slit-like mouth harassed them for several
hours, in spite of heavy gunfire. At one point, one of
the entities was knocked down from the roof by a
bullet: it "floated down." Running out of ammuni-
tion, the Suttons got the police, who observed a
lighted object in the sky, flying very fast. (Atic,

Aug. 22, 1955 Casa Blanca, near Riverside (California). A group of
1400 children was playing in the garden of Mr. and Mrs.
Douglas when they observed a hovering object which
disappared and reappeared as a spinning disk with
curved lines radiating from it. Other objects, silvery
and semi-transparent, soon appeared and were seen by
all children. They made musical sounds as they van-
ished and reappeared. One of them landed, and a
creature the size of a 4-year-old child, transparent,
wearing a belt with a bright disk, was seen nearby.
Another creature appeared and spoke to one of the
boys. All the children experienced visions of the ob-
ject and the creatures, as well as "arms" which ap-
peared to beckon to them. (TSR 67, 5)

object looked like a machine with an opening where
a stairway became visible. Two occupants were seen.
One was observed to have a reddish face, a bald head
and very fine teeth. The craft was round, about 3.5 m
diameter, 2 m high, lighted with neon-like light. The
occupants gathered some plants and flew away to
the northwest. (Personal)

night York City, were fishing when they heard a loud splash
and a "gurgling sound," saw a pink, iridescent, mush-
room-shaped object rise about 70 cm above the water,
and sink into the reservoir. Later, they saw the object
again, about 5 m long and surrounded with turbu-
lence. It reversed direction several times without turn-
ing around and finally flew away very fast. (Constance

May. 09, 1956 Jacksonville (Florida). Two girls, Joan Frost and
2300 Gertie Wynn, while waiting for a bus, saw two
pulsating lights flying horizontally and disappearing.
15 min later the lights were seen again, stopping at
the zenith, merging, and diving to 50 m altitude. As

rated and were about to abduct the witnesses, and
they ran to the vehicle in terror. (APRO Mar., 59)
383
Jun. 06, 1956 Banning (California). An object hovered about 30 m

Sep., 1956 Cabo Frio (Brazil). O. Guarichi was walking on the
2030 beach with his dogs when he saw an object come from
the sea and land. Two men, 1.80 m tall, wearing
metallic-looking uniforms, emerged. One of them
picked up objects from the beach. There was an ex-
change of gestures with the witness. One of the dogs
turned away when the witness approached the craft,
which was 20 m wide 3 m high and showed flashing
lights as it left. (Nachrichten Mar., 61)

Jan. 15, 1957 Balfour (New Zealand). William West and Wallace
early Liddell saw an object similar to a shooting star coming
close to them appearing then as an oval, fluorescent
craft, about 40 m in diameter, which almost touched
the grass. They rushed to catch it, but it jumped away,
turning into a bluish-white sphere with a dark red
center. Each time they tried to reach it, the craft
jumped farther away. It cleared a high fence and
slowly vanished. The Invercargill Weather Bureau
had no explanation. (107)

1500 women, Mrs. Garcin and Mrs. Rami, suddenly heard
a noise and saw behind them a top-shaped object, 1 m
high and 1 m wide, nearly touching the ground. It
made a sudden jump and landed again: There were a
number of antennalike projections on top of it. The
noise did not come from the object, but from a
metallic road sign vibrating in its vicinity. (M 207;

Apr. 22, 1957 Palalda (France). Mr. and Mrs. Firmin Bason heard
1300 an unusual noise and saw a whirlwind of flames 10 or
15 m above ground, coming down toward the vine-
yard. It was red and blue, spinning wildly, flying
slowly. It hovered for 5 min over plants which moved
violently, then it flew south with a deafening roar,
hovered again and departed to the southwest. Diam-
eter at the top: about 5 m. (Ouranos 21)

on a farm, was working in her barn when she heard a
whirring sound and saw a bowl-shaped object, 7 m in
diameter, with a rim over 1 m wide about 5 m above
ground. It stopped with one side tilted toward her. A
man dressed in a loose, shiny, gray suit, wearing a
tight-fitting helmet, was facing her from inside the

May. 01, 1957 Pajasblancas Airport (Argentina). When his motor-
0700 cycle suddenly failed, the driver observed a disk, 2O m
in diameter and 5 m thick, hovering about 15 m above
ground. He hid in a ditch and saw the craft come
down, making a sound similar to air escaping from a
valve. A sort of lift descended from its base almost to
the ground. In it was a man of average height, who
made friendly gestures to the witness. He was dressed
in a plastic diving suit. The witness entered the ma-
chine and saw inside several people seated before
instrument panels, lighted by an extraordinary light.
He was then escorted out, and the disk rose to the
northwest. During the next hour, six sightings were
made along the same course by independent witnesses.

The craft was luminous, pulsating between red and
white (remaining red longer). When white, it was
more blinding than a powerful searchlight. It was 50 m
away from the group of witnesses. Occupants were
about 1.30 m tall with a beige-gray body, an ab-
normally large black head, and a waddling gait. The
object flew away when a car came into view. (109; M

Jul. 25, 1957 Sao Sebastiao (Brazil). Mr. Joao Guimaraes, who is
1910 a professor at the Catholic Faculty of Law in Santos,
was sitting near the shore when he saw a hat-shaped,
luminous craft approach from the sea and land near
him. From it came a metallic stairway. Two normal
men with long, fair hair hanging to their shoulders, a
youthful appearance and wearing one-piece suits,
came down, gave no verbal answers to his questions,
but invited him "telepathically" to come aboard the
craft. Inside the illuminated compartment, he sat on
a circular seat with the crew. The machine rose for a
short flight. On his return, Guimaraes found that his
watch no longer worked. (Humanoids 36; FSR 57, 6
397
Jul. 30, 1957 Galt, Ontario (Canada). Jack Stephenson was walk-
ing about 7 km from Galt when he saw a flash in the
sky. A circular object making a whirring sound came
down and landed with a throw of flames. It took off
again 30 min later,leaving the ground blackened and
branches broken. The craft had a stationary dome,
but the periphery was spinning. (Round-up 188)
398
Aug. 20, 1957 Quilino (Argentina). An Air Force man inside a tent
heard a loud, shrill sound and saw a disk that came
down as grass and plants fluttered wildly under it. He
found himself unable to draw his gun, which "seemed
to be glued in its holster." A voice came from the
craft, telling him in Spanish that UFO's had a base in
the Salta area and would soon show themselves to
warn all people about the dangers of a nuclear
catastrophe. (Humanoids 36)
399
Aug. 22, 1957 Cecil Naval Air Station (Florida). A black, bell-
1540 shaped object bearing two bright, white lights at the
top and maeasuring 15 m in diameter was chased by a
civilian in a car until the engine stalled. The object
was then hovering 3 m away. The underside of the
machine resembled a disk with fins. When a jet air-
craft took off from the airfield, the object went out of
sight almost instantaneously. The car battery was
found completely dead. There was no helicopter in
the area, although the two witnesses compared the
noise made by the object to that of a helicopter. (Atic)

Sep., 1957 Campinas (Brazil). A man suddenly fell, as if para-
lyzed, and his two companions then observed an ob-
ject shaped like a disk with a dome on top and another
dome under it, 50 m away. A door opened and three
men, 1.70 m tall, wearing close-fitting, iridescent
clothing, and who walked as if on skis, appeared to
make a check of the craft and the surroundings. They
gathered samples in a large box. The witnesses saw
small portholes and a tripod landing gear. The craft
took off after 20 min. (Nachrichten Jul., 60)
401
Sep. 10, 1957 Ubatuba (Brazil). Approximate date. Anonymous
witnesses saw a disk dive down and explode, shower-
ing the area with flaming fragments. Some samples
were gathered, sent to a Brazilian newsman, analyzed
by friends of Dr. Fontes, of Rio, and were found to
consist of surprisingly pure magnesium. (Lor.l 90; 110)
402
Sep. 16, 1957 Smithfield (Australia). Les McDonald, 17, and
930 Gladys Smith, 14, saw a red light changing to green,
spreading around them like a mist and covering an
area about 100 m diameter. They became nearly
paralyzed and "felt a warm glow." They had no fear,
but were "merely cognizant of things as they were
without being able to react." This sensation lasted
two min. (UFO Bulletin Dec., 57)
403
Sep. 19, 1957 Point Pleasant (New Jersey). A boomerang-shaped
1840 object bigger than a house was reported to have
landed. Grass flattened. (Atic)
404
Sep. 26, 1957 Yellow Falls (Texas). Three hundred people were
sunset said to have seen three elongated objects with a series
of portholes, maneuvering at ground level in an area
with many empty oil wells. One of these objects, said
to be 150 m long and 20 m high, pearl-colored, glisten-
ing under the setting sun and showing a series of
circles painted on its surface, landed for 20 min. An
occupant emerged, observed the abandoned derricks
and took off again. Observed through binoculars, he
appeared as a "monster," 1 m tall, moving with
strange jumps. He picked up something from the
ground. (Perego)

Oct., 1957 Niquelandia (Brazil). At the Gabiroba farm, owners
A. Santinoni and S. de Oliveira were blinded by
beam from a round object at ground level. The light
was green and yellow. When they came near, all went
dark and the object vanished. (Round-up 205)
407
Oct. 05, 1957 Francisco de Sales (Brazil). Antonio Villas-Boas who
2300 could not sleep because of the heat, opened the
shutters of his house and saw a silvery glow in the
yard, but no flying object. The light moved and was
seen going over the house. (FSR 66, 4; Magonia)
408
Oct. 08, 1957 Nabouwalu (Fiji Islands). Two couples going from
1500 Nabouwalu to Nawaca in a motor boat saw a white
object come down from the sky, thought it was a
plane in trouble and went closer. They found the
object hovering 7 m above the water, and a figure on
board the craft aimed at them a beam so bright they
"felt weak." The figure disappeared suddenly, and
the object took off vertically at high speed. (Round-up
202; Challenge 18)
409
Oct. 10, 1957 Schenectady (New York). Mrs. Edward Yeager who
lived in a trailer on the Duanesburg-Church Road
near Mariaville, saw a circular object go down behind
the hill. Two min later it flew up again, very bright.
The next day she was feeding animals that ran away
as the same or a similar object came within 2 m of the
ground. Two dark, little men came out of the craft
and went into the woods. The object remained there
two min, then left. A search for the occupants proved
futile. A bus driver was said to have seen two craft
land in a nearby field at the same hour. (FSR 58, 3)
410
Oct. 10, 1957 Quebracoco (Brazil). Naval officer Miguel Espanhol
night and another man, traveling to Ceres, saw a bright
object that illuminated the countryside and came
down to ground level as the truck stalled. It was oval
or saucer-shaped, over 150 m in diameter and 40 m
deep, with a dome supporting a long "aerial" with a
red light on top. The bright light went off and the
witnesses saw seven childlike beings, with long hair
and luminous suits, who looked down at them for
about 3 min. The craft flew south and released a
smaller disk, which flew north. (Humanoids 36)
411
Oct. 11, 1957 Roulon (France). Two witnesses in a car saw some-
2000 thing they described as "a dark, transparent ball"
about 50 cm in diameter rising from the side of the
road. It had appendages trailing behind. (111)
412
Oct. 14, 1957 Francisco de Sales (Brazil). Second observation by
2145 A. Villas-Boas. He was plowing a field with his
brother when they saw a red light at the edge of the
field. He went toward it, but it shifted its position
every time he went close. It vanished on the spot.
(FSR 66, 4; Magonia)
413
Oct. 15, 1957 Covington (Indiana). Mr. Moudy, a farmer, observed
daylight a silvery disk which hovered above his tractor; the
engine failed when the object rose. (Personal)
414
Oct. 16, 1957 Francisco de Sales (Brazil). Third observation by A.
0100 Villas-Boas. Alone in the fields on a clear night, he
saw a big, red star which took the appearance of a
luminous, egg-shaped object and stopped 50 m above
his tractor. Its light was brighter than that of the
headlights as it landed 15 m away. The top part was
spinning. It became green as it slowed down, was then
seen as a flattened dome. Three legs emerged from the
machine as it settled down. The tractor engine stalled,
and the witness was seized by unknown individuals
and carried aboard the craft, where he was medically
examined, then left with a woman of short stature
with whom he had sexual intercourse. Villas-Boas
reported that crew members wore tight, white clothes
with a light on the belt, heelless white shoes, big
gloves, and opaque helmets with a slit at the level of
the eyes. Their language was shrill, and he could estab-
lish no verbal communication with them. (FSR 66,
4 et seq.)
415
Oct. 25, 1957 Petropolis (Brazil). A girl suffering from cancer ap-
peared about to die when the house was suddenly
illuminated by a strong light, as if a searchlight had
been aimed at the room. It came from an object whose
top part was reddish yellow. Two figures emerged
from it and entered the house. They were about 1.20 m
tall, had long yellow-red hair, small green, slanted
eyes, and wore white gloves and glowing white clothes.
Before the astounded witnesses (the author of the
report and the family of the girl), they used a device
producing a bluish-white light and another instu-
ment, in what appeared to be radiation treatment of
the patient. After 30 min they went away, leaving
her completely cured. The report was anonymous.
(FSR 67, 5)
416
Oct. 31, 1957 Longchaumois (France). A businessman and his wife
0000 saw a large, lighted object with openings, which hov-
ered, came to ground level, and took off with a great
increase in brightness at very high speed, but without
noise. (Personal)
417
Nov., 1957 Provencal (Louisiana). Haskell Raper, Jr., was driv-
2300 ing home on a rainy night when he saw a large, lighted
object on the road ahead, which he thought was a
truck. Suddenly the object flashed a beam of light
directly at the car, apparently exerting a strong
pressure and slowing it to a stop 5 m away. The object
was then described as oval, 5 m long, 3 m high, army
green in color. It bore lettering beginning with the
letters UN, followed by some numbers. A sort of heat
wave filled the car, and the witness ran out in panic
as the vehicle caught fire. The object rose with the
sound of a diesel engine. Raper ran to the town, less
than 2 km away; and reported the incident. The car,
a 1956 Ford, was completely destroyed. (FS Oct., 58)
418
Nov. 02, 1957 Canadian (Texas). 5 km west of this town, military
0330 and civilian witnesses reported a submarine-shaped
object, red and white, two or three times as long as a
car and about 3 m high, at ground level. A figure was
seen near this object, also something compared to a
white flag. When a car stopped in the vicinity, a
flash of light from the object coincided with the sud-
den failure of the headlights. (Atic)
419
Nov. 02, 1957 Levelland (Texas). A large number of reports from
2250 the Levelland area described a low-flying object, over
60 m long, equipped with a bright light, and which
interfered with car ignition. (Anatomy 136; map)
420
Nov. 03, 1957 White Sands (New Mexico). At Stallion Site, an
0300 army patrol in a jeep saw an orange, "apparently con-
trolled," luminous object on the ground near the site
of the first A-bomb explosion. It was first seen as a
sunlike source 50 m above ground, descending to
ground level after 3 min, and landing several km away
at the northern end of the testing grounds. Two wit-
nesses. (M 238)
421
Nov. 04, 1957 Elmwood Park (Illinois). Two policemen, Joseph
0315 Lukasek and Clifford Schau, and a third man named
Daniel De Giovanni, while looking for the cause of a
headlight failure, observed a fluorescent object 50 to
100 m away from them, coming down. The car had-
lights functioned properly again and they drove to-
ward the object but had to stop at a cemetery wall.
They turned off all lights and watched the object for
two min. It played "hide and seek" with them as they
tried to reach its location. (M 240; 113)
422
Nov. 05, 1957 New Castle (Indiana). An object looking like "a big
meat platter" was seen at close range by Mrs. Jasper
Barlow and her two children, who were inside their
car. It had a flickering light on the bottom. There was
no ignition interference noted. (M 245)
423
Nov. 05, 1957 New York City (New York). In Van Cortland Park,
0430 Frank C. was talking with a bus driver when they saw
in the park, about 400 m away, a metallic object
shaped like a disk, spinning with a soft whirring. On
top was a fixed dome with portholes. The object was
hovering at tree-height. A yellow light from the craft
suddenly illuminated the area, and it flew off "like a
shooting star." (M 241)
424
Nov. 05, 1957 Scotia (Nebraska). A man heard a noise similar to
1730 that of a helicopter and perceived a "burning" odor.
He saw a balloon-like, elongated object that came to
ground level, did not touch the ground, but rose again
and disappeared. The witness was "paralyzed" during
the observation. The object appeared to have gener-
ated thick smoke. (Atic)
425
Nov. 06, 1957 Santa Fe (New Mexico). J. Martinez and A. Gallegos
0010 saw an egg-shaped object coming toward them at low
altitude. It moved slowly, illuminating their car and
producing a humming sound. The car engine, the
clock and a wristwatch stopped. The object shot away
toward the southwest. (M 246)
426
Nov. 06, 1957 Seoul (Korea). North of Seoul a barrel-shaped object,
morning bluish-white and luminous, was seen close to the
ground, reflected in a pool of water. It rose and van-
ished "like a light switched off." (Atic)
427
Nov. 06, 1957 Playa del Rey (California). Richard Kehoe was driv-
0540 ing near the beach when his engine stopped, and so
did three other cars. The man got out and observed
an egg-shaped object wrapped in "a blue haze" on
the beach. Two men, below average height got out
of the craft and asked them questions about their
identity, what time it was, etc. They looked normal
wore black leather pants, white belts, light-colored
jerseys, and seemed to have yellowish-green skin. They
went back inside the craft, which left rapidly, and the
cars could then be started. (Humanoids 57)
428
Nov. 06, 1957 Lake County (Ohio). A civilian source reported an
0630 object so bright that his eyes could not sustain it. It
appeared to land on a ridge, then took off again. It
was round and much larger than a plane, had an
"odd color," left no trail and made no noise. (Atic)
429
Nov. 06, 1957 Knoxville (Tennessee). 12-year-old Everett Clark
0630 saw a strange object on the ground and four occu-
pants, two men and two women who spoke a lan-
guage he thought was similar to German. They went
back to the craft in a manner the witness could not
understand, for he saw no door. (M 271;114;
Magonia)
430
Nov. 06, 1957 Everittstown (New Jersey). John Trasco saw a bril-
evening liant, egg-shaped object hovering in front of a barn
and was confronted with a being 1 m tall with a
putty-colored face and frog-like eyes. He thought the
dwarf said in broken English: "We are peaceful
people; we only want your dog." The little man, who
was dressed in a green suit with shiny buttons, a green
tam-o-shanter-like cap, and gloves with a shiny object
at the tip of each finger, fled when the witness denied
his request. (Humanoids 56; Magonia)
431
Nov. 06, 1957 Boerne (Texas). A civilian source reported an oval
1800 object, about 5 m long, bright orange, similar to
glowing coals, hovering 4 m above ground. The wit-
ness went to call his family; the object had vanished
when he returned. Unidentified. (Atic)
432
Nov. 06, 1957 Baskatong Lake (Canada). 180 km north of Ottawa
2100 Jacques Jacobson and three of his friends saw a bright,
yellowish-white sphere hovering over a hilltop about
4 km away. From top and bottom issued light cones
that illuminated the countryside and the clouds.
Radio reception was blocked throughout the obser-
vation, except for a very powerful signal at one wave-
length, modulated, but not in Morse code. The object
rose slowly toward the south. (M 249)
433
Nov. 06, 1957 Montville (Ohio). Olden Moore, 28, a plasterer was
2330 driving home when he suddenly saw an object look-
ing like a bright meteor split into two pieces, one of
which went straight up. The other got larger while
its color changed from bright white to blue-green. It
hovered 60 m above a field and came to the ground
with a soft whirring sound, 150 m away. After observ-
ing it for 15 min, Moore then walked to the object,
which he found to be shaped like "a covered dish"
15 m in diameter, 5 m high, with a cone on top about
3 m high, surrounded by haze or fog, pulsating slowly.
Holes, footprints and radioactivity were found at the
site by Civil Defense Director Kenneth Locke. (M

434
Nov. 07, 1957 Meridian (Mississippi). Truck driver Malvin Stevens,
0725 48, was driving to Memphis when, about 23 km
northwest of Meridian, he saw an object which ap-
peared to have two propellers at either end and a
third one on top. Getting out of his truck, he saw
three little men about 1.30 m tall, in gray clothes,
with "pasty white faces" that seemed friendly and
willing to talk, but he was unable to understand their
"chattering." "I stood there for what seemed like an
eternity." They got back into the machine and it
took off straight up. There was no ignition inter-
ference. An 8-year-old girl from Honse independently
reported a round object crossing the sky toward the
south. (M 273; 115)
435
Nov. 08, 1957 Edinburgh (Scotland). Fourteen people, including
Mrs. Maty Home, reported to police that a disk-
shaped object followed their truck, dived toward it,
came within 20 m of them, then left toward the sea,
leaving a double vapor trail. (Round-up 217; 116)
436
Nov. 08, 1957 Sloanville (New York). A cigar-shaped object 70 m
0200 long was observed less than 7 m above ground. (M
264; 117)
437
Nov. 08, 1957 Holly (West Virginia). Hank Mollohan and eight
1430 other persons saw an elongated object, 12 m long,
with several portholes from which fire and smoke
appeared to be coming. It swung at low altitude and
dropped to the ground. People seemed to be moving
around it, but the witnesses were driven away by a
hard rain. (M 265)
438
Nov. 08, 1957 Waterloo (Iowa). Paul Rutledge saw an object 16 m
night long flying over his garage. The top part was bright,
and there were two figures visible inside. (M 266)
439
Nov. 09, 1957 Lake City (Missouri). A civilian driving his car home
0100 from work observed a hovering object 16 m long. His
car engine died as he neared the object's position,
and it started again only after the object's departure.
(Atic)
440
Nov. 10, 1957 Madison (Ohio). Mrs. Leita Kuhn observed a very
0125 large, lighted object 20 m above ground. It was so
brilliant that she had to close her eyes. It was over
10 m wide, 3 to 4 m thick, with a dome on top. The
witness had to consult a physician several days later
because of serious eye and skin irritation. (M 267;

441
Nov. 16, 1957 Bage City (Brazil). A blinding object, red and yellow,
2230 twice landed-first near the Jockey Club, then near
the Rural Exhibition. (Quincy)
442
Nov. 18, 1957 Maracaja (Brazil). Farmers Joao Ernani and Pedro
1030 Zilli heard a strange humming sound, then saw two
aluminum-colored disks 200 m away. Near them were
six mm of average height, slim build, dressed in "dark
gray suits glued to their bodies." The disks were
about 3.5 m wide, hovering 1 m above ground. They
rose with a sharp whistling sound, while coconut trees
below them bent double. Three more disks rose from
behind the trees, and all five flew toward the Atlantic.

443
Nov. 18, 1957 Aston (Great Britain). Mrs. Cynthia Appleton, 27,
1500 mother of two, saw the figure of a man appear near
her fireplace while a whistling sound was audible.
He was tall and fair, wore a tight-fitting plastic gar-
ment, and seemed to communicate with her through
telepathy, indicating he was looking for titanium and
was coming from a world of peace and harmony. Sud-
denly he disappeared. Mrs. Appleton had subsequent
contacts with similar entities. (Humanoids 4)
444
Nov. 22, 1957 Gesten (Denmark). A shop owner saw a pyramid-
shaped, luminous, transparent object fly fast across
the road. As it was above 250 m away, he clearly saw
two figures who looked like human beings, sitting
one behind the other aboard the craft. (Personal)
445
Nov. 23, 1957 Tonopah (Nevada). Four disk-shaped objects on the
0630 ground were observed for 20 min from a distance of
15 m. When the witness tried to come closer, they
took off with an unbearable humming sound. (Atic)
446
Nov. 25, 1957 Ugines (France). Two engineers were driving about
1430 200 m from the railroad crossing in Faverges when
they saw a nearly spherical object at ground level,
performing zig-zags on the road. They stopped and
were amazed as the object simply vanished, leaving
no trace. (Personal)
447
Dec., 1957 El Cajon (California). Edmund Rucker was awak-
night ened by a roaring noise and saw a strange object land
near his house. "Its windows were lighted, and I saw
strange-looking heads there." An opening became
visible and four creatures emerged. They had large
heads, dome-like foreheads, and bulging eyeballs.
They delivered a message to the witness in English,
stating that they had philanthropic and scientific
purposes. (FS Jul., 58)
448
Dec. 08, 1957 Woodward (Oklahoma). Between Woodward and
1750 Seiling, 12 km from the latter, an unknown flying
object allegedly took complete control of a car with
three passengers. The driver, an employee of an air-
craft company, had turned the heater, windshield
wiper, and radio on. He was nearing a hill in this
wooded area when a bright light appeared ahead. It
reminded the witness of the light from a mercury
lamp. As a crash seemed imminent, the car slowed
down by itself and stopped, as if the entire electrical
circuit had failed. Over the vehicle was a disk 16 m in
diameter with portholes around the periphery, emit-
ting a current of hot air and a high-pitched sound. It
had a dome on top and bottom. It rose as the car
started by itself. The car was a 1954 Dodge Coronet
without automatic transmission. The witness spent
four hours with two Kirtland AFB officers who told
him of similar observations. The case was never re-
ported to Blue Book. (Personal)
449
Dec. 11, 1957 Chestnut (Louisiana). Mary Louise Tobin, a school-
teacher, was driving on State Highway 1 when she saw
an object that she compared to the rising sun, in the
vicinity of a smoking car. The driver, an elderly lady,
came out with a child who seemed to have suffered
burns. The unknown object went away: The disabled
car did not catch on fire. (FS Jul., 58)
450
Dec. 11, 1957 Ellsworth (Wisconsin). Many cars stopped to observe
1600 a silent, reddish, glowing disk, about 15 m in diam-
eter, which flew 6 m above the ground at about 80
km/h. A small, windowless cabin was visible on the
underside of the object. (FS Jul., 58)
451
Dec. 18, 1957 Old Saybrook (Connecticut). Mary Stan was awak-
night ened by a brilliant light and saw through her east
window the fuselage of a craft that hovered in mid-
air. Aboard were two men, each with his right hand
raised, wearing yellowish jackets. A third man joined
the first two, then all lights went off inside the craft
while it glowed like brass. A spinning antennalike de-
vice was noted. A few minutes later it flew off. (FSR
60,3)
452
Dec. 21, 1957 Ponte Poran (Brazil). Mrs. Mendonca and five other
1830 persons saw a light in the south, which later appeared
as two spherical objects coming closer to the witnesses
on an oscillating course. One of them hovered close
to the car while the other circled. They were shaped
like a sphere surrounded by a flat ring, and chased the
car for two hours over the deserted road. Estimated
diameter: 5 m. (APRO Mar., 59)
453
Dec. 30, 1957 Drakestown (New Jersey). George Chowanski, an
night auto mechanic was alerted by the barking of his dog
and heard a whirring sound similar to that of an elec-
tric shaver. A lighted object was observed by Chow-
anski and his wife as it came within 60 cm of the
ground. Two figures came out of the bottom of the
object, walked around a clearing, and one picked up
something before returning to the craft, which then
took off. Total duration: 2 min. (FS Oct., 58)
454
Jan., 1958 Depew (New York). A lady who was driving on the
0130 New York State Thruway during a snow storm
saw a large shape with a tall, luminous pole on the
side of the road. Her car stalled, and the lights went
off. Two figures, looking like animals or huge insects
were observed near the pole. They soon disappared,
and the object took off spinning. The witness was
then able to start her car. She noted that the snow at
the site had been melted and the grass was warm.
(Binder; Magonia)
455
Jan. 04, 1958 Stavanger (Norway). A woodcutter reported that he
saw an object land, and a very tall man with a tanned
face, wearing a helmet, stepped from the machine.
He went back in after a few minutes; the craft took
off "with a noise like a flock of birds." Air Force offi-
cers and policemen searched the snowcovered hill for
traces. (FSR 58, 2)
456
Jan. 07, 1958 Aston (Great Britain). Two figures again appeared to
Mrs. Appleton and spoke to her in English (see Case
443). (Humanoids 4)
457
Jan. 13, 1958 Farm Hill (Australia). Brian Crittendon, 21, was
2345 chased by a dome-shaped object that emitted a nar-
row light beam toward the ground. He was so fright-
ened that he drove home on a half-flat tire, followed
for 5 km by the object, which was about 50 m away
and 10 m above ground. It overtook his car at a speed
exceeding 100 km/h. Radio interference was noted,
but no noise. (UFO Bulletin Mar., 58)
458
Jan. 26, 1958 Shimada City (Japan). A very bright object landed

Feb. 24, 1958 Conceicao Almeida (Brazil). Three witnesses, among
0305 them Dr. C. da Costa, decided to sleep in their car
when the engine stalled and could not be started
again. Then a very large, blue silvery object appeared
and came to ground level with a swinging motion.
was shaped like a sphere surrounded by a flat ring.
When they tried to approach it, the object maneu-
vered in a strange "aerial dance." (Lor. I 143)
461

tion, then took off and was lost to sight. (Personal)
464
Apr., 1958 Maceio (Brazil). Near Paripueira, jeweler Wilson
0600 Lustosa and numerous fishermen saw an object hover-
ing 15 m above the sea, 40 m away. It was lens-shaped,
about 12 m thick, and showed portholes with a glow-
ing red light. Below the object the water seemed to be
"boiling" or attracted upward, while a soft, whirring
sound was heard. For one hour the object kept going
up and down. (SBEDV)
465
Apr. 15, 1958 Tabladitas (Argentina). Approximate date. In the
mountains, about 14 km from Abra Pampa, a lumi-
nous object 30 m in diameter came to ground level.
(Quincy)
466
Apr. 17, 1958 Abaatu (Brazil). All night long, three hovering disks
1925 were seen by several witnesses in this area. A railroad
employee, Mr. Cavalheiro, and the station chief, J.
Machado, wired the Tupancireta police, and all saw
the objects coming to ground level about 1 km away.
At times they appeared to exchange signals. One of
the disks flew over the station itself, leaving a lumi-
nous trail and considerable heat. (LDLN)
467
May. 02, 1958 Bogota (Colombia). Eight people working in a wood
saw a green creature with scaly skin and very long
arms. The pointed nails of its long fingers nearly
touched the ground. (Dischi Volanti, by L. Bul-
garini)
468
May. 27, 1958 Boa del Tigre (Argentina). Remo dell'Armellina was
late driving a truck toward Santa Fe when he saw a figure,
3 m tall, blocking the road. He went toward it with an
iron bar but could not approach because of the stench
and the blinding phosphorescent light emanating
from it. It had very long arms, a scaly body, and wore
a flight coverall. The witness fainted; nothing was left
to be seen when he regained consciousness. (Perego;
Bulgarini)
469
Aug. 16, 1958 Leman Lake (Switzerland). A dozen people out on
1700 the lake in perfect weather saw a bright light coming
down. They stopped their boat as it came to hover
about 15 m above them. It was saucer-shaped, 10 m
in diameter, with a cabin showing several windows
on top. The outer disk below the cabin was spinning.
As it came down toward the water, a noticeable cur-
rent was created. No noise or occupants were noticed.
After several leaps in mid-air, the craft flew off at
"unbelievable" speed. (Personal)

Sep. 01, 1958 Laval (France). About 11 km before Laval, a busi-
2130 nessman coming from Paris suddenly saw a motion-
less object, 10 m above ground, to the left of the road,
150 m away. It was shaped like two cones with a com-
mon base and showed two rows of about ten openings
in the middle section. It seemed about 20 m wide,
metallic, with a light similar to that of a red traffic
light shining through the windows. The witness had
time to stop and maneuvered to get the object in his
headlight beams. Throughout the observation a
whistling sound such as that of a jet aircraft was heard.
The object rose very slowly, flew off faster climbing
out of sight. (119)
Sep. 21, 1958 Sheffield Lake (Ohio). A circular, flat object, 7 m in
0300 diameter, 2 m thick, hovering 1.5 m above ground,
and making a jetlike sound was seen from a house by
a civilian woman. Its color was that of aluminum; it
had a wobbling motion and emitted gray smoke be-
fore rising again and taking off. (Atic)
472
Oct. 27, 1958 Union Dale (Pennsylvania). An object resembling a
large gray cigar with an assembly tail flew at treetop
height, making a strong "swishing" sound. (Atic)
473
Oct. 31, 1958 Caledon East (Canada). A civilian reported an
1550 eliptical, aluminum-colored object at 2 km altitude,
coming down to 4 m, flying up and down by sudden
jumps, stopping at ground level less than 200 m away
for five min. A red light appeared at one end of the
object, which gradually took a fiery color, then ex-
ploded. The witness ran away. (Atic)
474
Nov., 1958 Braemar (Scotland). Two soldiers of the Territorial
0500 Army on an exercise near Ballater heard a "gurgling
noise" and saw two figures, over 2 m tall, dressed in
peculiar suits. As they fled, they heard a "swishing"
noise and saw a large disk flying at ground level, which
then swooped over their heads and away, pulsating
and leaving a sparkling trail. Witnesses were in a
state of shock. (Humanoids 5)
475
Nov. 17, 1958 Soviet Union, exact location not revealed. A luminous
2203 object, with an apparent diameter greater than that of
the full moon, was seen coming down from a high
altitude, hovering at tree height, then landing. It was
observed for two min. (Atic)
476
Nov. 23, 1958 Cojutepeque (San Salvador). An engineer, Julio M.
2335 Ladaleto, stopped when his car hit a can rolling on the
road, then observed an object about 35 m away. It
was shaped like a lamp shade with an upper trans-
parent sphere emitting a bluish, pulsating light, 12 m
diameter, 7 m high, resting on three half-spheres. An
occupant 2.5 m tall was photographed by the witness
as he crossed the road and appeared to inspect the
craft. He wore a blue coverall and luminescent heel-
less boots, and had a bald head. The observation
lasted 10 min, after which the object took off with a
whining sound, sparks and smoke. The following day,
before he had revaled anything about the case,
Ladeleto was contacted by strange "newsmen" who
appeared to know all the details of it. (Settimana
Incom. Sep. 16, 62)
477
Dec. 20, 1958 Hoganas (Sweden). Near Domsten, Hans Gustavs-
0255 son, 35, and Stig Rydberg, 30, saw something in the
woods and stopped their car to observe it. They found
a disk about 5 m wide set on a tripod. All of a sudden
they were attacked by four gray-colored creatures de-
scribed as "fluid," but one witness reached the car and
blew the horn for help. The beings fled and the craft
took off, emitting "paralyzing vibrations." (Lor. II 56)
478
Dec. 20, 1958 Clermont-Ferrand (France). Approximate date. A
1600 disk of 20 m diameter was observed and caused dam-
age on the ground. (Quincy)

480
Jan. 1959 Stratford-on-Avon (Great Britain). Leonard Hewins,
1715 of Tredington, saw a fiery, round object come down
from the east and land 100 m away. While a blue haze
formed, three figures emerged from the object and
seemed to sit down with clumsy movements. The wit-
ness was unable to move until the craft and its occu-
pants took off swiftly, leaving a trail of stars. (FSR

up and down, sometimes nearly touching the ground.
It circled and went away. (FSR 59, 3)
482
Feb. 28, 1959 Cedar City (Iowa). Private Gerry Irwin stopped his
car to investigate what he thought was a crashing
plane. He was later found unconscious. Sequels of the
incident (fainting, amnesia and his return to the site
in a trancelike state) are sometimes quoted as evi-
dence of psychologial experience correlated with the
observation of the luminous object. Irwin deserted,
and his subsequent whereabouts are unknown. (121;
Lorenzen; Magonia)
483
Mar., 1959 Kolobreg (Poland). On the Polish coast, not far from

1410 east of Adelaide, Carl Towill, postmaster, and Percy
Briggs, mail carrier, saw a dome-shaped object take
off from a field 400 m away. It resembled a huge, bril-
liant circus tent, studded with lights that kept chang-
ing from red to blue. They approached within 200 m,
then saw it rise, hover, and shoot off at immense
speed toward the south. They had observed it for 10
min. Mr. Briggs was questioned by investigators from
Woomera Rocket range. (FSR 59,5)
485
Mar. 31, 1959 Port Elliot (Australia). Barry Neale was driving home
1330 to Goolwa when he saw on the ground a glowing,
reddish-orange object with a row of portholes. It il-

that of a dying fire. It flew away horizontally and was
lost to sight behind a hill. (FSR 59, 6)
490
Jun. 26, 1959 Boianai (New Guinea). Many witnesses, among
1845 them Fr. W. B. Gill, head of a local mission, saw an
orange object that hovered in mid-air. Four engines
were visible on its "deck" and a beam of blue light
was emitted upward from it. The object did not come
to ground level, but its position above the ocean was
almost on a level with the observers standing on the
hill. (123; Anatomy 145)
491
Jul. 13, 1959 Blenheim (New Zealand). Mrs. Moreland saw a disk-
0530 shaped object as she was milking cows. It was about
10 m diameter, had two intense, green lights and two
rows of jets around the rim, emitting orange flames.

Aug. 09, 1959 Sombrero (Tierra del Fuego). Mr. Uribe, a petroleum
1954 engineer, and two other witnesses had to stop when
they ran out of fuel; they observed a light swinging
like a pendulum, coming close to the ground. It ap-
pared as a large, vertical, egg-shaped object which
made a "whooshing" sound. Closest approach was
120 m. Estimated height: 2 m; width, 1.5 m. When
Uribe aimed a rifle at the object, it went out of sight
within seconds. (Lor. IlI 14)
494

turned in a sandbank. The driver escaped with minor
injuries. (Lor.I 250)
515
Jan. 22, 1961 Cestas-Gazinet (France). An electronics professor at
1830 Bordeaux University and three school teachers ob-
served an elongated, glowing, orange object. Inter-

517
Apr. 18, 1961 Eagle River (Wisconsin). J. Simonton heard a whin-
1100 ing sound and saw an object, 10 m in diameter, 4 m
high, with exhaust pipes around the periphery, land
near his house. A door was opened and a man ap-
peared. About 1.50 m tall, he wore a black, turtle-neck
pullover with a white band at the belt, and black
trousers with a vertical white band along the side.
Two figures were visible inside the object. Simonton
filled a jug with water, returned it to the man, who
gave him three ordinary pancakes, and the craft took
off. (Atic; Magonia)

519
Jun. 03, 1961 Savona (Italy). Off this town, four people in a boat
0635 were suddenly shaken by growing waves and saw the
sea swelling like an enormous bubble 1 km away. An
object emerged, hovering at 10 m altitude for a brief
time, its underside glowing, and it left obliquely at
high speed toward the northeast. Its shape was similar
to a cone resting on a disk. (Settimana Incom. Jan.

521
Jul. 17, 1961 Las Vegas (Nevada). One mile north of Bonny
0200 Spring Ranch, on U.S. Highway 91, two civilians in a
car observed in the rear-view mirror a low-flying object
that overtook their car, followed by a rush of cold air.
It stopped, circled the vehicle, flew off and was lost
to sight behind the mountains, where it may have
landed. In the course of an exceptionally complete
investigation by military authorities, however, no evi-
dence of a landing was discovered. (Atic)
522
Aug. 12, 1961 Kansas City (Kansas). Two Drake University stu-
2100 dents saw a large object shaped like an oval with

for about 4 min at tree-height, shot straight up,
climbed away toward the east, then disappeared from
view in five sec or so. (Atic)
523
Aug. 25, 1961 Toulouse (France). Approximate date. Five persons
observed a luminous, yellow sphere, 8 m in diameter,
flying about 10 m above the road. Horizontal and
vertical bands of darker tone gave the impression of
"windows." The object flew up very fast when the
car reached town. (LDLN)
524
Sep. 19, 1961 Indian Head (New Hampshire). Mr. and Mrs. Hill
2200 saw a lenticular object with a double row of portholes
and half-a-dozen dark figures working at control
panels inside, when they stopped to investigate a light
following their car. They became afraid and drove
away. A "beeping sound" enveloped the car, and they
felt a prickling sensation before losing consciousness.
When they came to, they were driving near Ashland.
A series of nightmares and medically controlled hyp-
nosis brought back what apparently was the memory
of their abduction by the occupants of the object.

Apr. 10, 1962 San Casciano (Italy). Mario Zuccula, 27, was walk-
evening ing home when he suddenly felt a current of cold air.
He was paralyzed with fear when he saw a white ob-
ject, 10 m in diameter, metallic in appearance which
hovered close to the ground. A metallic cylinder was
lowered from the craft, and two little men about 1.30
m tall, came out through a door lighted by a source
inside the cylinder. A low voice similar to the sound
of an electronic device told him they would return at
the end of the fourth moon, one hour before dawn,
with a message. The beings had their heads covered
with a hood. (FSR 62, 4)

night to have met two men of normal height, clad in diving
suits, with belts emitting intermittent yellow-green
blue light, who delivered to him a peace message in
Italian. The voice had a metallic tone. Also observed
was a very dazzling object, 15 m in diameter. (FSR

May., 1962 Jujuy (Argentina). Approximate date. Four people
0400 whose car had run out of gas, were waiting in a driz-
zling rain when a bright light, first thought to be from
a car, approached them. It turned out to be a low-
flying object that landed. It was round with a blink-
ing light, and stayed there about one hour before
taking off at high speed (APRO Jul., 63)
533
May. 12, 1962 Pampa Province (Argentina). V. and G. Tomasini
0410 and H. Zenobi saw an object on the ground 100 m
away from the road. It looked like a railroad car and
was illuminated. As they came close to it, the object
took off, crossed the road at low altitude, rose with a
flame, and separated into two sections that flew away
in different directions. It made a humming noise and
was seen on the ground for one min. Within a circle
60 m in radius, grass was burned, insects were carbon-
ized, and the ground was "petrified." Sample analysis
was done by the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base.

534
May. 13, 1962 Uncativo (Argentina). Dozens of witnesses in Un-
0400 cativo, Cordoba, Carranza, and Los Molinos Dam
observed a very luminous, elongated object with a
bright trail. Soon thereafter, fog filled a wooded sec-
tion near Uncativo, and a landed object resembling
a small house was observed. (133; CODOVNI 1962)
535
May. 22, 1962 Winifreda (Argentina). A woman was hospitalized
after her observation of a strange object that landed,
and of the "ugly" giant beings who emerged from it.
Approximate date. (135)
536
Jun. 16, 1962 Prince of Wales Island (Australia). Four persons
from Thursday Island, among them E. Thorpe, were
climbing a hill when they observed a silvery object on
a nearby hillside, less than 2 km away. It could not be
located again when they reached the other side of
the hill. (FSR 62,5)
537
Jun. 26, 1962 Verona (Italy). For about one hour, 20-year-old
evening Roberto Poregozzo, his mother, Maria, and his 25-
year-old sister, Luisa, observed a silvery disk, the ap-
parent diameter of the moon, maneuvering in the sky
near Santa Anastasia church. They finally went home.
About 0300, one of them was awakened by a feeling
of intense cold and perceived a greenish light in the
room. In the window a sharply defined human shape,
delineating a semi-transparent body, was visible. The
apparition had a huge bald head. The witness
screamed, awakening the two others, and they saw
the apparition shrink and vanish "like a TV image
when one turns off the set." (FSR 63, 2)
538
Jul. 30, 1962 Pasnembi (Brazil). A man driving near Pasnembi
stopped when his engine failed and observed a
cylindrial object, described as "a bottle with two
necks," about 40 m long, 15 m high, which had landed
on the road. Two men (one at either end of the craft),
appeared to be changing some luminous signals. This
lasted 10 min and the craft took off at high speed. In
Alta, a number of people reported a bright object
moving at high altitude. (136; FSR 62, 6)
539
Jul. 30, 1962 Bajeola Grande (Argentina). Roberto Mievres, 17,
was riding his motorcycle when a tall being, with a
head like a watermelon and three eyes, appeared as
the engine stalled. The apparition snatched the boy's
scarf, but he ran away and came back with a group of
people, who found the scarf on the ground, discovered
some traces and observed an unknown craft flying
away. (CODOVNI 1962)
540
Aug. 02, 1962 Camba Punat Airport (Argentina). Luis Harvey, air-
port manager, and his staff thought that an un-
announced aircraft was about to land, as they saw a
luminous object circling at high speed. It came down
to hover about 1 m above the runway for some four
min. It was spherical, spinning, and emitted flashes
of blue, green and orange. When approached, it took
off at very high speed. (FSR 64, 4)
541
Aug. 17, 1962 Duas Pontes (Brazil). Rivalino da Silva, a diamond
evening prospector, told his associates that he had seen two
strange dwarfs digging a hole near his house. They
ran away as he came near them, and moments later
an object took off from behind the bushes. It was
shaped like a hat and surrounded with a red glow.
(APRO Sep.,62)
542
Aug. 19, 1962 Duas Pontes (Brazil). Raimundo, the son of Rivalino
night da Silva (see previous case), was awakened by the
sound of steps and saw "a weird shadow" in the room.
It was small and not human in shape. Voices were
heard saying, "This one looks like Rivalino," and later
that they would kill him. The family stayed on the
alert all night. (APRO Sep., 62)
543
Aug. 20, 1962 Duas Pontes (Brazil). Raimundo da Silva (see previ-
ous cases) testified before the police that while work-
ing in a field, he saw two spherical objects hovering
2 m above ground, a few meters from the house. One
was black with an antenna-like protrusion and a small
tail; the other was black and white. Both emitted a
humming sound and a flickering fire through an open-
ing. The boy's father warned him to stay away as
Rivalino walked toward the objects, praying. When
he was 2 m away, the two spheres merged into one,
raising dust from the ground and spreading a yellow
mist that enveloped the man. The boy ran after his
father, noting that the cloud had "an acrid smell."
As it dissolved, everything had vanished. Police in-
vestigation, headed by Lieutenant Lisboa, failed to
reveal any clue. Many terrified people left the area.
(APRO Sep., 62)
544
Sep., 1962 Orland (California). A. T. Gray, a dairy rancher,
2145 thought some lights in a field were those of a car.
When coming nearer, he realized the object was ob-
long with blunt edges and hovered about 7 m above
the ground, making no noise. When Gray was 50 m
away, the object came toward him, rose, and took off
toward the southwest. (APRO Jul., 63)
545
Sep. 05, 1962 Mount Manfre (Italy). Second observation by Mr.
night Siragusa (Case 531), who saw two figures over 2.10 m
tall. The light from their belts prevented him from
seeing them in detail. A large, spinning object, 25 m
wide, top-shaped, hovered nearby. "From the under
part, a metallic cylinder over 3 m long reached down
almost to touch the road, with a small door, a sort of
lift." (FSR 62, 6)
546
Sep. 13, 1962 Overfield (Great Britain). Myra Jones was driving
2320 between Overfield and Norris Hill when she saw a
luminous, gray object, larger than a car with a dome
on top. It was flying at the altitude of the Phone
poles, slowly spinning. Dark spots were visible on the
underside. It nearly touched the car, then gave a
whistling sound and flew away. (137; FSR 62, 6)
547
Sep. 15, 1962 Oradell (New Jersey). Two bright disks were first seen
1700 at 1700, then were seen again at 1800, at the state
line. Two witnesses saw one round object with a fin
on top and another under it at 1950, and reported
that it was going down toward the Oradell reservoir.
Three young men saw and heard the object as it
touched the water. Another witness called police. The
luminous object took off a few minutes later. Official
investigation described it as bright, surrounded with a
glow, the apparent size of a small plane 1 km away. It
left toward the south. (Atic)
548
Sep. 18, 1962 Barcelos (Brazil). Three men working in a rubber
plantation saw a large, disk-shaped object hover above
the river. It emitted sparks, was of silvery color, and
very brilliant. It eventually rose straight up at high
speed. Disappearance of cattle was noticed in the area
during that period and blamed on the same cause.

min, and reported seeing a man wearing a helmet and
gas mask in the vicinity of the object. (FSR 63, 4)
551
Nov., 1962 Var (France). A garage owner was driving through a
evening rainstorm when he suddenly saw a group of figures
80 m away. He slowed down as they went away
jerkily, and observed that they were bizarre, birdlike
creatures. As they rushed toward the car, he drove past
them in terror and saw them going back toward a
luminous, blue object hovering in a field. They en-
tered it as if "sucked into it," and a dull sound was
heard before the object flew off. (FSR 68, 6)
552
Dec. 09, 1962 Bologna (Italy). Antonio Candau saw a circular ob-
2200 ject land in Cadivilla, 9 m away from him. It was
about 5.5 m m diameter, and two men emerged from
it, approaching within 2 m, and spoke incompre-
hensible words. They wore yellow coveralls and a wide
belt. Noting that the witness was afraid, one of them
made a reassuring gesture with his hand, and the craft
departed with a strange sound. (Settimana Incom.
Dec. 30, 62)
553
Dec. 11, 1962 Chumbicha (Argentina). G. L. Colodrero and the di-
dawn rector of the Cordoba Historial Museum were driv-
ing from Catamarca to Cordoba when, 7 km away

ground of a mountain slope. They were bright and
spherical, rose straight up and flew away with a very
bright trail. (CODOVNI 1962)
554
Dec. 17, 1962 Milan (Italy). Francesco Rizzi, night watchman, was
dawn crossing the factory yard when he heard a whistling
sound and observed an object hovering 1 m above
ground. It was a silvery disk, about 5 m in diameter,
with lighted windows. The noise stopped, a door be-
came visible, and a small being appeared and made a
gesture. A second figure was also seen. The craft took
off with a puff of white smoke and a whistling sound.

555
Dec. 19, 1962 Verbania (Italy). Three sailors on a ship observed
two gray, helmet-shaped objects hovering 1 km away
at 20 m altitude above Lake Major. Diameter: about

gaining height with an undulating movement. It was
soon joined by the second object, and both disap-
pered together at the horizon. (139)
556
Dec. 21, 1962 Buenos Aires Airport (Argentina). A large, fiery disk
0215 was observed on the runway by Horado Alora and

1900 ject on the ground in a deserted city park. Shape: a
dome upon a cylinder, bearing a series of round
apertures and surrounded by a thick, roundish ring,
set on a tripod landing gear supporting the base of
the cylinder 1 m above the ground. Diameter: 5 m.
Suddenly the ring started spinning rapidly, and a gust
of air was felt as the craft rose a few m above ground,
then disappeared in a split second. (142)
558
Jan. 11, 1963 San Pietro (Italy). A 43-year-old farmer was awakened
2300 by restless animals and went out to calm them. Fifteen
min later he saw an object land in a small square in
the village, went toward it, was "paralyzed" when
10 m away. Two min later the craft, 4.5 m long, 1.5
m high, with a translucent upper dome showing two
dark, moving figures, ascended in the direction of
Brindisi, emitted a vertical beam of green light. (143)
559
Jan. 28, 1963 Shilton (Great Britain). Mary Sharp and Mrs. E. L.

clockwise direction, had a blue color and no light. It
took off faster than a jet, after hovering about five sec.
The witness suffered from a strong headache all day.
(Atic)
564
Feb. 20, 1963 Lecce (Italy). A young man saw from a window ,a
1730 slowly spinning object, almost stationary, 500 m away.
It appeared as a disk having a central upper dome,
with a total diameter of 3 m. The object had a brilliant
yellow red halo, but its dome was much more brilliant.
The witness observed it through binoculars, reported
seeing a "particle" leave the object, after which it
stopped spinning, gained altitude with a vertical shift-
ing, and left toward the northeast. (144)
565

Mar. 13, 1963 Richards Bay (South Africa). Fred White was fish-
2230 ing when he heard a high-pitched whine coming from
the east and saw an object come in his direction and
land 15 m away, scattering sand. It was at least 30 m
in diameter, and was shaped like two plates glued
together. Through several oval portholes he could see
light inside. A man with a fair complexion, wearing a
metallic helmet, looked at the witness. He wore a
sky-blue, one-piece coverall with no visible buttons
or fasteners, and gloves made of shiny mesh. Warm
air was felt as the craft took off about six min later,
and radio interference was noted. (FSR 63, 5)

then followed them for part of their trip. (LDLN 71)
571
May. 20, 1963 Glencoe (Australia). A 17-year-old witness, who
evening wishes anonymity for fear of ridicule, saw what he
first thought was a bulldozer by the side of the road.
He came within 20 m of it, then was blinded by a
strong light as his car suddenly stopped. The object
crossed the road and flew away. The light was as
intense as that of a welder's torch. The witness's father
testified that his son came home white and visibly
terrified. (APRO Nov., 63)
572
Jun. 04, 1963 Lyle (Minnesota). A multicolored object, the size of

level. Through an opening they observed "several rows
of people inside" and a thin, 3 m tall being, whho
glided down to the ground along two vertical beams
of light. He walked with a strange, swinging motion,
then sat down. He wore a transparent helmet, had
one eye in the middle of his forehead, wore high boots
that left a triangular imprint, and carried a box emit-
ting flashes. He made a threatening gesture and flew
up to the sphere, which left. The chlldren somehow
became convinced that the being was "good" and
would return. (Humanoids 37; Magonia)
581
Sep. 19, 1963 Saskatoon (Canada). Four children saw a bright oval
2000 object hover in a field and drop something. Approach-
ing the site, they were confronted with a 3 m tall man,

Oct. 1963 Whidbey Island (Washington). A middle-aged
0900 woman, who had seen a strange craft hovering near
her house the previous Jul., observed a gray-colored
object, 3.5 m long, hovering less than 2 m above
ground. Through the transparent front part she could
see three figures. Suddenly one of the occupants was
standing on the grass. He was clothed in "asbestos-
textured coveralls" and neither the face, nor the
hands, nor the feet was visible. When she asked,
"What do you want?" the answer, in English, was:
"One of our party knows you; we will return." The

into the ground, grew to its previous size, and de-
parted to the east, producing steam, a flash, and a
noise. (FSR 64, 6)

(FSR 64, 5; Anatomy 75)
601
Apr. 30, 1964 Canyon Ferry (Montana). Several anonymous adults

2100 altitude, was seen from Wooster and Smithville at
2110. then from Lawrence and Burbank between
2125 and 2130. It flew erratically with a whirring
sound and changes of color, apparently interfering
with police radio. lt went down toward the northwest,
seemingly ready to land. Abnormal radioactivity al-
legedly was found at the site. (Akron UFO Res. Soc.)
606
May. 18, 1964 Hubbard (Oregon). A bright, silvery object, 3 m long,
1.5 m high, with a cone-shaped front part, resting on
four legs, was seen in a wheat field by 10-year-old
Mike Bizon. It made a beeping noise, rose first to the
altitude of the Phone poles, then took off ver-
tically. Wheat was found flattened in all directions.
(NICAP Jul., 64)
607
May. 24, 1964 Millinocket (Maine). A man driving on Millinocket
2100 Lake Road saw a fiery, spherical object to the side.
He stopped and left his car with a friend to ob-
serve it better. When they became afraid and walked
back to the car, the sphere followed them; the engine
could not be started as long as the sphere remained
within 2 or 3 m of the car. It flew away after five min.
It was described as a ball of fire without structure,
about 75 cm in diameter. (Atic)
608
Jun. 02, 1964 Hobbs (New Mexico). A "black object with flames"
1600 is blamed for burns suffered by an 8-year-old child,
who said he saw the object coming from the sky. His
grandmother, Mrs. Frank

goed .. nou zal je zeggen dat tnt alle sightings in dit topic uit de usa komen
http://www.larryhatch.net
As of September 2004, the *U* UFO Database lists over 18,200 filtered UFO sightings, worldwide, for all dates. Well over half of those are shown here as white pixels.
tja .. ok plaatjes kijken is altijd makkelijker dus doen we de rest van de wereld er ook even bij
let op dat kaartje is dus over een periode van 4 jaar
1965-1969
Out of about 2400 *U* listings for 1965 - 1969 worldwide, 589 or 24.6% were in Europe.
dit lijkt er al meer op
dit is ook leuk .. alles buiten het ufo seizoen
dus ..alle ufo golven weggelaten .. ongeveer een kwart
golven vaak na aandacht van de media enz
UFO Sightings Map:
Europe: Off-season.
UFO sightings here are restricted to non-wave months for all years. Data for the following months were excluded to study the remainder: June-July 1947; March-April 1950; June-Sept 1952; Sept-Nov. 1954; November 1957; August 1965; March-April 1966; March 1967; July-Sept 1968; Oct-Nov 1973.
"Wave months" are those with event counts in three digits or nearly so. With major waves removed, some 14.8% of the data here, presumably media frenzy plays a lesser role.
France and Italy were most affected by this exclusion, a drop of 22.6% and 23.0% respectively. Britain was least affected, falling only 5.2%. British sightings are more evenly spread over the months and years.
Three general UFO shapes show here. Red is for round: saucers, disks, cones, ovoids and spheres. Green indicates cigars, cylinders, fuselages, cigarette shapes .. Blue shows angular shapes: triangles, deltoids, diamonds etc. There is some overlap. Multiple shapes are sometimes seen together.
Flying triangles appeared in the mid 1970s, fell back, then returned in force from 1988 onward, especially in Belgium and England. Cigars are common in Portugal and France, less so in Spain.
Sightings at sea tend to be cigars. Note the distribution in Sweden: saucers in the West, cigars in the East, triangles in between. Romania prefers saucers in the North and Triangles to the South.
zoals eerder gezien zijn er genoeg sightings voor de uitvinding van het vliegtuig
maar hier dus een kaartje met sightings voor 1940
Pre-1940 UFO Sightings
Prior to the 1940s, UFO sightings were rare. The *U* Database lists 437, starting with the bizarre 593 BC biblical account of Ezekiel. Roman accounts date from 322, 213 and 170 BC. Then, even darker ages fell.
Europe leads with 208 events listed, British Isles 83, France 41, Scandinavia 17, Italy 16, Spain & Portugal 11, Germany 10 etc. Not shown are 20 events in Asia, 35 in Australia / New Zealand ..
Numbers increase in Nov. 1886 and again in April 1897 when the Great Airship craze erupted in the newspapers if nowhere else.
After 12 years of quiet, another Airship wave struck Britain in May of 1909 (21 listings) then New Zealand in July 1909. Since New Zealand may have been influenced by English reports, its odd to find nothing from Canada or Australia.
ufos .. vaak verklaard als venus en mars
toch gaat die vergelijking ook niet altijd op
50 Years of UFO Sightings
UFO sightings counts, scaled at the left, are shown for every month, over 50 years.
Exceptional months are circled in green.
July 1947 and October 1954 are almost off the screen. The violet curve is a 6-month moving-average to show trends over the years.
Venus-Earth and Mars-Earth distances show as grey and red quasi-periodic curves, scaled at the right in Astronomical Units [AU]. One AU is the mean distance from Earth to the Sun. Planets are closest to Earth at the tops of each curve.
Note the slump of inactivity between 1958 and 1964, and also thru the 1980s. A much deeper and longer slump ( not shown ) occurred between the "great airship" sightings of 1885-1910 and the modern era displayed here.
best leuke site
As of September 2004, *U* holds over 18,200 carefully filtered UFO events distilled from
hundreds of books, major journals, catalogs, downloads and other sources.

dit topic dus om een glimps te geven in alle sightings
dat ufos bestaan lijkt me duidelijk
dat aliens bestaan is een hele grote kans
dat ze hier komen impliceren de verhalen
wat er van klopt maakt even niet uit imo, voor het overzicht dus
Het schijnt dat voor een aardbeving bepaalde seismologische activiteiten plaatsvinden die een reactie teweegbrengen in onze atmosfeer. Een bepaalde magnetische reactie die ballen van energie zou veroorzaken. Dat verklaard nog niet alle sightings. Misschien is het wel natuurkundig te verklaren waarom wij deze ufo's zien.

ach als een site al 10.000+ cases kan hebben (zonder de venus en mars verhalen) , kun je iig zeker zijn dat het concept ufo bestaat
even mierenneuken dus
UFO is het in spreektaal , OVV in het nederlands
NFO = oa bolbliksems en andare Natuurlijke fenomenen, venus voor mijn part
MMFO en UAV = ManMade Flying Object ( alstublieft. hier hebben jullie de voor het volk ufos. ) en Unmanned Aerial Vehicle ( black hawk ed )
AFO = alien flying object .. beetje dubieus want als iemand dus het ontwerp van een AlienFO namaakt is het tevens een mmfo .. tevens is alien voor een land ook gewoon buitenland
dus voor zwahilihalualuastanie is een black hawk een AFO
dus de echte ufo's, van buitenaardse wezens = ETAFO extraterrestial alien flying object
daarom is ufo ook gewoon goed, maar daarmee kom je niet ver in de FOIA (Freedom of information act, )

maar het begon over ufos dus , uuh de 1947,48 is bullshit
een beetje ufosite heeft ook wel verhalen uit 1850- 19-40
maar tja
One of the first written accounts of a UFO sighting -- a fleet of flying saucers, perhaps -- is the following excerpt from an Egyptian papyrus -- part of the annals of Thutmose III, who reigned around 1504-1450 B.C.:
"In the year 22 of the 3rd month of winter, sixth hour of the day... the scribes of the House of Life found it was a circle of fire that was coming in the sky... It had no head, the breath of its mouth had a foul odor. Its body one rod long and one rod wide. It had no voice. Their hearts became confused through it; then they laid themselves on their bellies... they went to the Pharaoh... to report it. His Majesty ordered...
[an examination of] all which is written in the papyrus rolls of the House of life. His majesty was meditating upon what happened. Now after some days had passed, these things became more numerous in the skies than ever. They shone more in the sky than the brightness of the sun, and extended to the limits of four supports of the heavens... Powerful was the position of the fire circles. The army of the Pharaoh looked on with him in their midst. It was after supper. Thereupon, these fire circles ascended higher in the sky towards the south... The Pharaoh caused incense to be brought to make peace on the hearth... and what happened was ordered by the Pharaoh to be written in the annals of the House of life... so that it be remembered for ever."

Over het egyptische verhaal:
[quote]
The so-called Tulli Papyrus is oft cited as evidence of visitations to Egypt by "ancient astronauts;" indeed, any mention of Alberto Tulli and his alleged papyrus appears to be restricted to popular UFO-related literature.
For example, in "UFOs in History," Samuel Rosenberg describes a number of supposed ancient UFO sightings including one "from a papyrus manuscript found among the papers of the late Professor Alberto Tulli, former director of the Vatican Egyptian Museum." It involves a "UFO sighting sometime during the reign" of Thutmosis III, cited by Trench (Trench, Brinsley Le Poer, The Flying Saucer Story, London: Spearman, 1966).
According to the story, the former director of the Egyptian Museum at the Vatican, one Professor Alberto Tulli (now deceased) had among his papers "the earliest known record of a fleet of flying saucers written on papyrus long, long, ago in ancient Egypt." Though the papyrus was damaged and contained several gaps, a certain Prince Boris de Rachewiltz managed to translate it and declared that the papyrus "was part of the Annals of Thutmose III." Following is a translation of the papyrus:
[zie voor vertaling post van coz]
Questioning the authenticity of the papyrus, Rosenberg (cited above) writes that a cable was sent to the "Egyptian section of the Vatican Museum seeking more information about both the 'papyrus' and the 'de Rachewiltz translation.'" The Inspector to Egyptian Vatican Museum, Gianfranco Nolli, sent the following reply:
Papyrus Tulli not propriety [sic] of Vatican Museum. Now it is dispersed and no more traceable.
Another inquiry was sent to Dr. Walter Ramberg, Scientific Attaché at the US embassy in Rome, who replied:
... the current Director of the Egyptian Section of the Vatican Museum, Dr. Nolli, said that Prof. Tulli had left all his belongings to a brother of his who was a priest in the Lateran Palace. Presumably the famous papyrus went to this priest. Unfortunately the priest died also in the meantime and his belongings were dispersed among heirs, who may have disposed of the papyrus as something of little value.
The papyrus is lost, its guardian Alberto Tulli was apparently at best an amateur Egyptologist, and its translator Prince de Rachelwitz remains the only authority upon whose word alone we must trust as an accurate report of its contents.

ufo's in schilderijen
detail -->
Op het tweede plaatje (het detail) lijkt het mij trouwens meer iets van een brandplek oid te zien. Opvallen is iig dat het afwijkt in de manier van schilderen.
Bij de contour van de vrouw kun je namelijk zien dat de grens tussen de vrouw en de lucht vrij scherp is. Bij de UFO zie je daarentegen wat lijntjes die eruit lijken te stralen. Dit doet mij eraan denken dat het doek daar beschadigd is, waardoor ook barstjes in de verf zijn gekomen en de verf iets verkleurd is.
Nu zul je misschien reageren met "waar kijkt die persoon in de achtergrond dan naar", maar als ik naar de houding van die persoon kijk, dan kijkt die naar mijn idee naar iets wat verder weg lig en lager is.
Het zou hangen in het Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. Dus misschien kan iemand daar gaan kijken?
Ghirlandaio heeft trouwens wel eea geschilderd daar, maar ik zoek nog even verder naar een andere afbeelding (krijg wat veel hits op Ghirlandaio namelijk).
Een fresco is toch een muurschilderij?

Dat gedeelte gaat over het maken en weer vernietigen van het universum door de Maker, een God.
Wat wel naar voren komt is de fasinatie van dat volk met vuur. Vuur en de daarmee samenhangende dingen, zoals rook, maar ook religieuze handelingen, komen veelvuldig voor en als ik het goed geinterpreteerd heb, hadden ze ook een vuur god.
Mogelijk is "jouw" versie een andere vertaling van de teksten, maar dat maakt meteen wel duidelijk dat de vertalingen vrij open staan voor persoonlijke interpretaties en dus geen absolute waarheid weergeven. (zoals met wel meer oudere teksten die cultureel en technisch totaal buiten ons eigen kader vallen)

En dat mannetje kijkt naar die "UFO"
Religieuze symboliek is in schilderijen uit die tijd heel belangrijk. Wat je ziet is het 'alziend oog' dat niet gezien kan worden. Het mannetje in de verte neemt de plaats in van 'waarnemer'. In het schilderij zijn meer verwijzingen zoals een patroon op het gewaad van de heilige maagd die je elders in de lucht ook weer terugziet.
Nog zoiets, op sommige schilderijen wordt het alziend oog afgebeeld als een oog in een piramidevorm, in de lucht. Een verwijzing naar de heilige drie-eenheid en niet zozeer omdat de schilder triangles heeft zien vliegen..
Een UFO is een niet-geidentificeerd vliegend voorwerp. Op het moment dat het god of engeltjes zijn zijn ze geidentificeerd.
ik heb het even geprobeert maar daar valt geen oog in te herkennen ( dan zou je namelijk niet die stralen helemaal rondom hebben... wel een pupil met daaromheen een stuk wit
ik neem aan dat je die afbeelding van 1000x10000 ook ff bekeken hebt ?
maargoed, dan gaan we straks de discussie in dat men God en de rest volgens het boekje niet mag afbeelden en daarom is het niet afgebeeld als een oog maar als iets stralends ..
je hebt wel gelijk in dat we voorzichtig moeten zijn met conclusies, het zouden hel goed allerlei symbolische dingen kunnen zijn ...
(discussie ging btw over het aantal meldingen
) )Echter wat ik wel weer vreemd vind is dat in een religieus schilderij, een voorwerp zou worden afgebeeld (UFO's/Aliens/buitenaards bezoek/aardse vliegtuigen) die door diezelfde religie ontkent worden. En als de schilder werkelijk een UFO heeft gezien en dit blijkbaar zo bijzonder vind dat hij dit in een religieus schilderij wil verwerken, waarom heeft hij er dan verder geen werk van gemaakt??

Ben er inmiddels achter dat het een fresco is geschilderd is door Domenico Ghirlandaio en het zou "Madonna with Saint Giovannino" heten. Als ik op die naam zoek, kom ik alleen maar UFO-sites tegen, terwijl ik juist op zoek was naar een kunsthistorische site.
Het zou hangen in het Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. Dus misschien kan iemand daar gaan kijken?
Ghirlandaio heeft trouwens wel eea geschilderd daar, maar ik zoek nog even verder naar een andere afbeelding (krijg wat veel hits op Ghirlandaio namelijk).
Een fresco is toch een muurschilderij?

Conclusions:
In the painting named Madonna and Child with the Infant St. John, probably made by Sebastiano Mainardi (school of Ghirlandaio) there are no UFOs. The three little stars under the great Nativity Star are symbols of the triple virginity of Mary (before, during and after the childbirth), The shepherd with the hand on the forehead is similar to many other shepherds in dozens of Nativity or Adoration paintings of the same age; and the lighting cloud, symbol of the God's Glory, comes from the narration of the nativity in the Protogospel of James (chapter 2, 19).

What follows is a listing of the more famous and well publicised UFO sightings in the UK. There are hundreds more cases on record, but these are the most famous.
793 The monastery of St Cuthbert, Lindisfarne
Monks at the monastery witnessed 'dragons' flying in the sky and other strange sky-bourne portents. Shortly after the sighting in January, the monastery was attacked and razed by Viking invaders. The dragons were seen as an evil omen. (from the Anglo Saxon Chronicles)
1211 Cloera, Ireland / Gravesend Kent England, and other places attributed to the sighting
During a Sunday Mass at the village of Cloera, an anchor was seen to descend from the sky and hook on to the church door. The parishioners watched as a man seemed to swim down to the anchor from a 'sky ship' to try and release it. The local Bishop stopped the people from capturing him and he 'swam' back up to the ship, cut the rope and the ship sailed away. The anchor is said to have been kept within the church.
The exact same story has been attributed to a number of other places including Gravesend in Kent, and Bristol in Somerset in the same year. It seems unlikely that the same event would occur (you would think that the crew would have got wise to dropping anchor near churches). Other sources suggest that the Cloera tale dates from 965AD and appeared in the 'Speculum Regale'. This tangled web of information needs further research, but the story is remains intriguing.
30th November 1222, London, England
Dragons were reported to have been seen over the city of London, after the sighting severe thunderstorms caused severe flooding.
[v]1290AD, Yorkshire, England[/b]
William of Newburgh's Chronicle of 1290 is said to mention the sighting of a round silvery object flying over the Byland Abbey in Yorkshire.
According to most historical sources William of Newburgh lived from 1136-1201, out of the time scale for him to have recorded it. He did write a book called 'Historia Rerum Anglicarum', which contained many tales of the varied beliefs of the time. This may have been the original source of the story, which has been repeated several times in literature.
1743, Holyhead, Anglesey, Wales
A farmer near Holyhead is alleged to have witnessed a 'boat' sailing in the clouds at about 1500 feet. The story appeared in the 'Flying Saucer Review' in 1971.
1901, Bournebrook, West Midlands, England
A report was made of a 'hut' landing in a field that was occupied with small men wearing tin helmets. This 'hut' then took off into the sky.
# 776 AD - As the Saxons were laying seige to Charlemagne's castle at Sigiburg, flying shields appeared and rained down fire on the attacking army
# 840 AD - Agobard, Archbishop of Lyon's, France, mentioned that the people believed in a place in the sky called "Magonia", and that people traveled through the skies in cloud ships. He wrote that he prevented a crowd from stoning to death three men and a women who supposedly came from one of these ships.
# 1034 AD - a book called "Liber Chronicarum" from 1493 records that in 1034 a spherical object with fire shooting from both ends was seen over Europe.
# 1200 AD - William of Newburgh wrote of a slivery, disc-shaped object that appeared near an abbey in England.
# 1290 AD - The monks at Byland Abbey in Yorkshire, England saw a similar disk.
# 1461 AD - An object like an iron rod with fire shooting from it was seen over Arras, France.
