PROJECT 1947

Some UFO Notes By Loren E. Gross Having completed a detailed survey of UFO material covering the years 1896 to 1963, I came across some English language newspaper clippings primarily from the 1970s and 1980s.  A day-by-day treatment of these decades will not be attempted.  Instead, I will select certain items that caught my eye and will make a few comments.     Copyright © 2008-12 Loren E.

“You’re settled in your most comfortable chair, luxuriating in the fact that, for once, you’re home alone.

“You forego the chance to watch any television show you want in favor of spending a couple of hours indulging in uninterrupted reading.

“You‘re unaware of the deepening darkness until the dog, napping across the room on the sofa, suddenly sits up and starts to whine.

“Startled, you look up from your book in time to see him jump off the couch and head toward the kitchen, still whining.  Then you notice that the radio in the kitchen, which had been pouring out country music, has become staticky.

“You lay your book down on the table by your chair, little prickles of uneasiness tingling your spine.

“It intensifies as you hear the pigs squealing out in the new confinement barn.  You know it’s no animal out there with them; the building‘s shut up tight.

“Trying to forget you’re all alone, you ease yourself out of the chair and slowly head for the kitchen.  As you pass the light switch, you flip it on.

“But it doesn’t flood the room with light as brilliant as it usually does.

“The dog‘s starting to run from room to room now, still whining, and the tingling along your spine is joined by a knot in your stomach.

“You’re afraid.

“But as you head toward the back door, you close your hand around the long flashlight always kept on the kitchen counter.  Switching it on, you force yourself to grasp the doorknob and turn it.

“You push the door open a little.  The air feels funny, like electricity might if it turned into wind.  It’s a calm night, yet tree limbs sway and bushes rustle.

“You close the door instead of pushing it open, head back for the living room, seeking the familiar comfort of your old plaid chairs and the child-scarred tables. You wish you had the courage to at least look out the window.

“Instead, you go to the phone, deciding to call the sheriff.  But then you hesitate.

“You wonder what he‘ll think when you tell him that you really haven‘t seen or heard a thing, but that the dog‘s whining, the pigs are squealing and the radio‘s full of static.

“Then, suddenly, you hear the silence.  The quietness is interrupted only by Loretta Lynn‘s plaintive wail about a cheating husband.

“It‘s over, you think gratefully.  Whatever was happening isn‘t happening anymore.

“But when you reach down to pat the dog, you realize your hand is shaking.

“Your heart is thudding and your pulse is racing.

“You know you should take that flashlight, walk out to the hog barn and make sure everything‘s all right.

“Gradually, the fear subsides.

“And, rather sheepishly you pick up your book again.”

 

Mrs. Gettings described some of the movements as a game of chicken.  Two lights would zoom toward each other on a collision course, then one would shoot up at a steep angle and the other down.

At other times one of the lights would hop over another one. 

 

“I don’t believe in little green men,” the camp supervisor at a copper mine, Mr. T. Murphy, said today.

But, Mr. Murphy and the miners are convinced, that something, perhaps from outer space, is watching them work.

The miners work the remote Thaduna open-cut mine, 500 miles northeast of Perth.

The nearest town is Meekatharra, 120 miles to the southeast.

Mr. Murphy said today that an oval-shaped “thing,” colored white and orange, hovered over the mine for two hours yesterday.

“It gave off a loud hissing noise,” Mr. Murphy said.

“It was first sighted by nightshift workers about 3:30 a.m.

“They woke their work-mates and we all watched it up there in the sky till about 5:30 a.m.

“Then it moved off slowly, passing over the north end of the cut to the south end.”

 

The UFO appeared to stop and hover about 200 to 300 feet above the water.  Then it turned on a searchlight from the bottom of the vehicle and illuminated a spot on the water which Formiller said appeared to be about ½ mile across.  The light extended almost to the shore.  Formiller was standing about five feet from water‘s edge.

The searchlight was located within a tube and as the light was raised or lowered the illumination was changed from a sharp spot to a wide flood light on the surface of the water.

At first he thought that it was a helicopter, but there was no sound.  After a few minutes a cloud was formed around the vehicle which did not appear to be caused by exhaust gases because there was no blowing of the cloud.

 

...a circle of dead vegetation, the third discovered in central North Island [New Zealand] rural areas in a month, appeared overnight on a floating island at Puketutu nine miles south of Te Kuiti.

It is about 15 feet in diameter and rests on an island of lake weed in a large pond on Mr. Charles Blackmoore’s farm.

The area of blackened dead weed is two feet lower than other plants on the island.

It appears to have been burnt, pressed down, and spread outwards in a spiral pattern.

Five separate varieties of plants have been killed within the circle.

“Cows and dogs which formerly drank from the small lake now refuse to go near it,” Mr. Blackmoore said today.

“Four tame ducks which had lived there for ten months disappeared the day the circle appeared, and the lake‘s large frog population is also missing,“ he said.

 
 

---

 
 

 

Mr. Blackmoore has had a continuous headache since he discovered the circle and inhaled a peculiar smell in the area...

 

The trees in the circle are bleached and dead with three ‘V’ shaped grooves of disturbed soil pointing to the center....every ounce of moisture in the trees had been vaporized instantaneously and the wood was bone-dry and brittle.

[A government scientist said] “Some kind of high frequency radiation had cooked the material from the inside out.  The energy has reduced pitch to black carbon without the outside showing signs of burning.

“I know of no earthly source of energy such as a meteorite or lightning which could have done this.  Some outside object seems to have landed on the spot and in taking off, emitted energy which cooked the plants.”

 

[Alex Henderson] ...was looking into the sky while enjoying the sunshine and saw this “thing” hanging in the sky.

“It was still there, unmoving, when I came back with binoculars to have a closer look...it was pretty high, about 30,000 feet, but still big and round and a dark green colour.

“Then it was covered by a dark cloud – but five minutes later we were still watching and it was still there, just hovering.

“Suddenly it disappeared.

“Later we were having a cup of tea and all these black things appeared out of the cloud.

“I thought they were birds but looking through the binoculars proved they certainly weren‘t birds.

“They were round dumpy things, about 40 and in tight formation [and then]...they disappeared toward Cambridge.”

“We saw a flattened and baked out circular area about 30 feet in diameter in the midst of hay [a standing crop] five feet high.

“The hay came away like sod, where that object had landed.  We dug down for four feet.  All life was dead – caterpillars, cocoons, worms were all burned.”

 

...a man and his wife saw a UFO on a highway near Annapolis [Missouri].  They got out of their truck and stood in the road watching it.  Suddenly it came toward them and the man got so scared he jumped into the truck, locked both doors and took off down the highway leaving his wife standing in the middle of the road.

 

After hovering above the road it picked up speed, but when about 90 meters from the road slowed down again.

“It glowed with an orange light and was emitting orange smoke.  I couldn‘t see the top because of the dark, but it was much bigger than a Boeing [passenger plane],” Mr. Sucknow said.

“The inside of the car became icy cold.  I was dumbstruck – it was as if the “beings” in the craft were watching the car [?].

 

“Several head of cattle graze on the property; there have been recent attempts at rustling.  The caretaker calls his wife on the citizens band radio in his truck.  She is at their home on the property.  A friend of hers is visiting.  The caretaker says he is going to check out this suspicious occurrence.

---

 
 

 

He drives toward the lights.  He comes to the end of a dirt road in front of a deep ravine, near the spot where he saw the lights.

That is all he remembers.

There is a 10 minute gap in the report.  No radio contact.  Nothing.  Except that, somehow, the caretaker finds himself on the other side of the normally impassable ravine.

He calls his wife for help.  “Where are you?” she asks.  “I don’t know,” he responds.

His truck won’t start, the lights won’t work, he feels disoriented.  When he finally returns to the house, his wife and her friend notice that his battery powered watch is running 12 minutes slow.  The next day, he will have to replace the alternator and the regulator in his truck.  Both have been burned out.

What is the caretaker’s opinion of what happened?  “He doesn’t have one,” Mrs. Becker says.  “He knows something unusual happened to him, but he’s not sure what.”

 

The crew of the fishing vessel said the object dropped straight down and just before it hit the water it did a ‘U’ and came back up, then went down...

 

They were heading toward Murray Bridge around 11 p.m. when, about 300 meters from the Hahndorf turn off, the car engine and lights ‘died’ without warning.  [Here things really get weird].  “I’ve never seen anything as black,” Mr. O’Malley said on Tuesday.  “There was not a star in the sky – I could not even see the steering wheel [!].  The only light was a circular glow in the sky, in the far distance.”

It, however, did not act like an unthinking natural thing.  The witnesses were three youngsters camped out in the backyard of a home in the town of Redwood Valley, California:

“It just appeared from thin air,” Debbie said.  She said the flying object came from the south and was traveling north.  The object then paused below the treetops in their neighbor’s yard “just like it had a mind of its own,” she said.

Debbie said the object was bigger than a beach ball.  She said the object was red on the outside and bluish-green on the inside – “like the color of fire.”

When the object paused, she said the middle stopped while the outside continued turning.

“The thing that scared me the most was when it paused,” Debbie said.  “She was crying and I thought I was going to faint,” Jessica said.

After the object paused, Debbie said it continued traveling on its path and then returned and made three circles above the yard.

The girls had seen enough.  They covered their heads with their sleeping bags, but Shawn continued to watch.

“Shawn said after the object had circled their yard, it began to get smaller and increase its speed until it disappeared in the southwest.

 

A triangular pattern in the sky.  “It was moving very, very fast, much faster than any aircraft I’ve ever seen,” said photographer Ray Jamiesen.

Like a rolling coin it did five to seven loop-the-loops in less than three seconds.

At the head of the luminous cloud was a distinct sphere, brighter than the cloud which surrounded it.  When the object had passed slightly to the east of the Falconbridge Road, the sphere became indistinct and the cloud gathered inward, disappearing completely.  “It happened in seconds,” said the mystified viewer.

 

...a small craft left the large one, came into the yard and went from one window to the other...the small light made a whirring noise, was green and silver in color, and had a three-foot-long antenna protruding from its side.

 

Wright did find some small oak trees near the spot where the boys said the object hovered for five seconds.  When he first saw the trees, the upper leaves were yellow and the lower leaves were splotched and curled.  When he came back five days later, all of the upper leaves had dropped off, leaving only the healthy lower leaves.

 

“The UFO...gave off some type of emission from underneath the object,” he said.

When the officer in seven tower saw this thing he thought it was a shooting star, but it was throwing the gas out of the bottom – sparks or something...

 

---

 
 

 

“It was sort of smokey looking with silver underneath,” observed Mrs. Long, who has seen the UFO twice – on December 15 and December 27.

“The first time it came from Berryville and came right over the house.  My girl, (Patti), she was drying her hair with an electrical comb and she screamed while I was out in the yard watching it.  The comb had shocked her and she threw it all the way in the hall.  The neighbor girl was with us and she screamed and the little dog got tore up [?].”

 




 

Peter said that as he was returning to the house after doing the chores, he sighted the object and watched it proceed towards his farm house at a high rate of speed, then slowing up as it hovered over the oil road located about 150 yards from his house.

Peters said that the object had bright square headlights which were much brighter and much closer together than regular automobile headlights.

Gliding toward her as she manned a watchtower at the town’s French and Hecht plant, the disc obscured a flashing red beacon light on a grain elevator.

Her radio and walkie-talkie stopped working, and cows and crickets in a nearby field stood silent.

A light-sensitive mercury vapor lamp about 100 yards away from the woman went dark.

A television in a nearby farm house went blank...

 

“In October of ’83 for example, up by Altoona [Pennsylvania], a woman’s car was partly lifted off the ground and a high pitched sound has left her with hearing loss and low level radiation that has caused her to lose her hair.”

 

A local farmer in Casscoe found one of his cows missing a tail one morning last week.  His first thought was, she got her tail caught on something and it was pulled off, but after having neighbors look at her, it was determined that the tail was cut off with some care and skill.

A clean cut was made about three inches up on her back, where the tail meets the backbone at the joint.  The tail was removed without tearing any tissue around it.

Mrs. Purdy said the craft hovered in the west for about an hour and often turned from a vertical position to a horizontal position.

 

Both of them watched it [the UFO] drift across the field until it was directly over their truck.  At that moment, the radar detector on the dashboard went off with a buzz.

 


 

Bletchman said the man has told him that he was on the way to a meeting at around 7 p.m. when his car grew warm and was flooded with light.  The craft hovered above him at about 200 feet for about 30-40 seconds then became a glowing, flaming sphere and shot off to an arc into the distance....

An old scar on the man’s hand has become irritated since then and he has been feeling out of sorts, the effects of what the Manchester lawyer thinks may be the effects of radiation.

...an anonymous Eltham man told of a colleague driving on the A20 near Farningham on July 16, 1978, who saw a cigar-shaped UFO swoop quickly down on a derelict car by the roadside, lift it into the air, suck it into an opening on its underside, and zoom off.

 


 

According to Knell, at approximately 9 p.m., passengers passing the park on a Q-65 bus spotted several different colored lights hovering just above the ground near the lake.  The driver stopped the bus and all watched the lights for about 3-5 minutes, and then continued on their way.

When Knell looked into the reported sighting he found two 15-foot circular configurations in the area where the lights were seen.  The grass within the circles appeared to have been destroyed, with unusually jagged edged black pebbles found on top of the circles.

One circle received much more damage than the other.  Dr. William Fately of Kansas State University examined the most damaged circle’s dried soil and concluded that it had undergone an incredibly swift drying process which robbed it of all its moisture and nutrients.  As of Saturday, September 23, two soddings have failed to take root on the circle, which remains barren and sand-like, amidst a flourishing grassy meadow filled with weeping willow trees.

The lightweight black pebbles were examined by Ted Benitt, a New York state licensed gemologist and mineralogist.  He concluded that the pebbles were from a type of volcanic stone found mainly in Aruba.

A Knell-led examination of the park found the stones were in no other park location, not even a few feet from the circles.

“There was something strange about the cloud, too,” he said.

“It was just a nice breezy day, but the cloud the object dodged into resembled a thunderhead,” Nicholas said.

“The cloud was the only one of its kind in the sky,” he said.

Nicholas said the object, black inside the cloud, was visible for about 20 seconds before suddenly disappearing.

What happened next was just as surprising as the first appearance of the object, he said.

“The cloud just sort of folded up on itself,” Nicholas said.  “After five minutes, the cloud had completely disintegrated,” he said.

 

Men from Mars, who terrified a million of more Americans radio 31 years ago, couldn’t raise an eyebrow in San Antonio, Texas, recently.

“The Orson Welles radio drama, War of the Worlds, was replayed by a local radio station on the 3Ist anniversary of its broadcast over a nationwide network on Halloween Eve, 1938.

Before the broadcast, San Antonio police were warned by the station they would be receiving telephone calls from frightened people calling about the landing of the Martians.

Nobody called police, but the station received some 300 requests for tape recordings of the program for their home libraries.

“They have made no attempt to bother us or interfere with us,” explained Mrs. Lunham.  However, shortly after dinner a week ago the Lunhams saw a UFO arrive over the lake then turn toward their house.  About halfway across the lake it turned on a bright white light.  Although only on a second or two, the light lit up the Lunham dining room and melted the frost from the room’s windows.

“When I went to wipe up the water with a cloth the glass was so hot I couldn’t touch it,” said Mrs. Lunham, who pointed out that it was 20 degrees below zero outside at the time.

 

The 400-foot wide swatch of tall red pines collapsed to a height of 10 feet within a circle that...[a] Toronto hunter and his buddy found was pictured in yesterday’s Sun.

...residents along Greenland’s west coast have been reporting seeing bright objects in the sky.

The observations range from a twin flying object to an oval vehicle with lighted portholes.  Teachers and students at a high school reported watching two objects scanning the sea, the fjords and the high school with strong search lights.

 

“My face and hands were pink—like the color of a healed scar.  And my face was blotchy.  Not raised, but pink, about the size of a thumbprint.”

She called her sister in Council Bluffs who had been at the party.  The sister urged the woman to call a doctor.

Her temperature was 102, she said, and her head was swimming.  “My stomach was upset.  I had diarrhea.  I was sweating.  If you have ever seen anyone in profound shock, it was me.  I thought I was marred for life.”

And another strange thing; the redness didn’t cover her chin and neck.  It was as if a line had been drawn from one ear lobe to the other, crossing under her nose, she said.

She had pulled her coat up around her neck when she got out of the car.  Only the exposed parts of her hands and face were red.

“The woman said she decided to lie down and wait until morning to wake her husband and call the doctor.  She couldn’t sleep.

By 4 a.m., she said, the redness and blotches began to fade. They were gone by 4:20 a.m.

A few weeks back, while Polly was visiting relations and I was home alone, I turned off the living room lights and took a look out the window to see what sort of a day we would have next morning.  Instead of stars, I saw a large yellow light descending to the (Columbia) river.

It was about the size of a small auto like a Volkswagen Beetle, and it was descending quite slowly.  About 100 feet above the river, it raised a few feet and then descended a few feet more, and did this over and over until touching the water.

“It appeared to be testing the gravity pull to see if it could raise again as it neared the water.  Finally, alter touching the water, it rose in a zigzag.

 

Above is an artist’s sketch based on the descriptions of the object sighted last week in the skies above Mount Kisco.  Eyewitnesses said that the object was ““immense,” roughly the size of the Northern Westchester Hospital Center, and made up of at least two modules, one large and one small, attached by a thin limb.  The main body was textured by pyramidal indentations; lights were patterned in lines along the main hull, and clustered in the front, on the smaller module.

When he looked up toward the sun, he saw what appeared to be a giant object.  From this, small disc-shaped UFOs came out and shot off in different directions in groups of three.

Even more unusual, while this was going on some kind of wispy material like cobwebs came floating down.

“This stuff was coming down continuously,” Hummer said.  “It was like a giant spider web hatching or like something might have exploded or burned.  I went after some of it but it was like you wasn’t touching anything.  It just disappeared.”

 

Magi, who remained in the car when the object appeared, was not burned.  Neither were Ray or Diana, who were the last out of the cabin, and who observed the light for the shortest period of time.  Chelos’s shoulders, hands, and face, were burned.  On one of her shoulders could be seen the outline of Andres’ hand.  He had rested his hand there, with his arms about her shoulder, and experienced severe burns on the back of his hand.  Andres’ face and legs were singed with small dots and splotches.  The burns blistered and then itched.  They became more severe with time and were still plainly evident three weeks later.

The Malbys visited three different doctors, hoping to obtain a definite analysis of the burns.  All of the opinions offered, including that by their family doctor, Luis Casillas, were unanimous, but inconclusive:  The burns were definitely not sunburn, but of an unknown origin.

 

“It was about 9:45 on Thursday night,” Daryl said.  “I was lying on a bed in one of the second storey rooms watching television with the children when the two dogs outside started to howl in a quite eerie fashion.  It was a sound I had never heard from before.

“Less than a minute later there was a tremendous crashing noise and I thought a tree had fallen on the house.  This seemed rather strange as there was no wind that night.  I raced to the window and looked out but could see nothing in the darkness.”

 
 

---

 
 

 

“Accompanied by the kids and with torch [flashlight] in hand, I went downstairs to see what had happened.  As soon as I opened the door the dogs raced inside and sat down shivering and shaking.  One of the dogs is a huge Great Dane that is not easily intimidated.”

Daryl continued:  “I went around to one side of the house but could find no sign of damage.  As I was coming back, however, loud creaking and cracking noises were plainly audible from the cypress pine that stands close to one side of the house.”

“I sent the kids inside and then went over to investigate with the torch.”   Daryl shone his torch up into the huge tree and was more than a little surprised at what he saw.

There, about 30 meters above the ground, was a large, long yellow object caught in the tree.

“I reckon it was about 8 meters in length,” Daryl said, “and it was not making any noise nor did it appear to be moving though the branches were creaking under its weight.

“I raced inside and immediately phoned the police and though I wasn’t really terrified, I decided to play it safe and stay there until they arrived.  However, when the police phoned back to say they couldn’t find the place, I went up to the front gate to show them the way down.”

When the police arrived they immediately played spotlights on to the tree but to Daryl’s surprise the yellow object had vanished.

“All that remained was a scene of destruction.  After searching for about an hour without success the police left leaving Daryl wondering just what he had seen...

“Tests with a Geiger counter revealed no abnormal radiation but an infra-red detector showed that the tree was exuding large amounts of infra-red heat compared with the surrounding area... a very large branch over a meter in circumference had been smashed and had probably caused the majority of the damage.  The branch was completely healthy and, as there had been no wind that night, it seemed unlikely that it could have broken of its own accord.

There were a few other interesting occurrences that seemed to add to the mystery.  All of the horses’ manure in the stable the following morning was an unusual black color – it is always golden brown.  One of the rugs on a horse in the paddock had been unbuckled and placed by the gate by someone or something.

Another interesting feature is that amateur radio operators in the Adelaide area reported a blackout of transmissions on that particular night.

It seemed remarkably similar to an incident at Meadows in June, 1966, when 25 branches high in a pine tree were smashed for no apparent reason.

 

Three teen-aged Maximo girls, joyriding after a dance in Louisville, saw a light descending from the sky on Paris Road NE near Elms Inn.

The driver said when she turned onto Route 62, “something” forced her hands from the steering wheel, but the car continued on, passing several cars on two occasions, before pulling back into the right-hand lane.  Finally, in Canton, the car turned into the Perkins Pancake House parking lot.

Freymiller began calling others in to have a look.  The stalks that were mutilated appeared to be deteriorating within a few weeks in a manner that would normally take months.  Stranger yet, leaves of the standing corn around the patch began to turn red.

“I’ve never seen red leaves on corn before,” says Leland.  “They always turn brown.”   All of the rest of the corn in the big field is bright green.

 

“It looked like it was coming down in the backyard,” she said.  At this point Michael and Timothy said the object extended ’rods like it was going to land.’  They also insisted it had a door which opened and “flashed blue lights“ as if it were taking photographs.

When the object began to move away, blinking red and white lights rimming its edge,“ it just disappeared,” said Mrs. Parker.  “A few minutes later, I saw it again, but it was over there, she said pointing to the southwest.”

 

But the manner in which it vanished was the most puzzling part of the incident, according to the observer.  The object began to disappear from one end, until it was entirely gone.  “It was like it was being covered up by something,” she said.

The object, described as 15 feet high with yellow lights running horizontally across it, has been spotted in fields and roads and in the air by “several upstanding citizens” according to the report, between 11 p.m. and midnight.

A spotlight on top of the object is shined on approaching vehicles, according to the witnesses.

 

“It [the UFO] was right above the car going around and around,” said Edward Deutsch, 47.

“When I got to the top of the mountain it lit up the whole car and before I knew what happened the car was turned around and I was headed back home...the car’s body was extremely hot afterwards...”

Deutsch also told of meeting a deer hunter who saw the unidentified flying object hover over when two deer walking across the road were projected backward [?].

The guy said quickly, “I’m not going hunting today,” Deutsch said.

 



 

“Brumfield said the object would disappear in a vapor which appeared as a cloud would look on a dark night.”

“But it was definitely not a cloud,” he added.

The vapor was just large enough for the object to disappear in, Brumfield stated, and then the vapor itself would even disappear for a short period of time. 

 

“It couldn’t have been anything else [but a UFO].  It hovered above Grossmont Hospital, not doing much, just staying still.  It was pulsating with its lights flicking off and on.  Lights seemed to be dimming all around the hospital – streetlights and parking lights.  It was almost as if it was draining energy from those lights,” she said.... “It was completely white and had an outline like a saucer... My parakeets were going crazy.  They were screeching at the top of their lungs. Dogs were barking everywhere.”

Bridgette Chivers today revealed that her camera, filled with infra-red film, mysteriously jammed as she was about to photograph a flying saucer landing on Cradle Hill, Warminster.

“The shutter jammed as I was about to take a picture of the craft,” she said.  “The infra-red film would have enabled me to take clear pictures in the dark.”

“Funnily enough the camera works perfectly now, I don’t know what happened to it.”

 


 

“We stopped the patrol car and got out.  The object moved as a pendulum on a clock, then it would travel at a fast rate of speed in a northerly direction.  Then back and forth. After each spurt of speed.  It would stop and move as a pendulum again.”

 

Last week in Surry County a barn reportedly burned down as a result of a UFO that created an unexplained heat discharge.

In Georgia a UFO was reported to have touched down and a large amount of steam was released and just as quickly flew off.

“Immediately a state chemist was at the scene and recorded the temperature of the ground where the object landed at 212 degrees.

During the winter of 1967 in Sweden, over a frozen lake area, several perfectly circular holes, ten to twelve feet in diameter, were made and the cut out chunks of ice were stacked up beside them.  Military authorities could not give an explanation.

The most amazing account perhaps was told by Norman Hearn.  Wednesday at 9:10 p.m. Norman was driving his ’65 Ford pick-up by the golf course when his truck started shaking, the lights went out, radio went off and the motor stopped.

“A 12 foot tall saucer-shaped object came over my truck and hovered in front of me for a while,” said Norman.

He saw a gold medallion with writing [?] on the UFO.  Then he reports that it flew over the lake and took off.

 

Polo police officer Robert Hoak saw the object to the north over Mount Morris.  He said the object appeared to project its orange glow in a beam toward the ground, and moved west with occasional stops.

“It seemed to follow the (Burlington Northern) railroad tracks,” Hoak said.

Two deputy sheriffs, called to a home on the Pacific Beach yesterday, said they found a burglar alarm ringing in tune with the lights on an unidentified flying object hovering over the ocean.

Deputies Gary Talesfore and Blair Foster reported they witnessed the UFO lights while the burglar alarm on a food freezer rang in synchronization with the lights.

“The UFO disappeared shortly, and the burglar alarm stopped ringing, the deputies said. 

 

[Policeman] Gleason said that the object seemed to sit in one place [in the sky] and not move.  He said the objects [there were two] also appeared to have a cloudy mist on their bottom. 

 

Mrs. Bob Sigler of North Biloxi said something flew over her home, causing television and telephone interference.  She said the passage lit up her home like a floodlight. 

 

A Payne County couple says a large, flashing humming object hovered within 250 feet of their auto on a rural road near Manford early Tuesday and gave them a seven-minute side show they’re not likely to forget.

“It really gave us a weird feeling of being in a different place,” Mrs. Hatchett said.  “It was like there was nothing you could do to defend yourself.”

“The base was round, about the size of an average round dinette table.  The size is very hard to determine.  It was rounded at the bottom and had a higher domed top with sufficient height that it appeared a man could sit in it comfortably...For a minute or two it was perfectly still.  Then very slowly it started to rotate and [a] sort of ribbed shield [?] came into sight, extending about 10 inches from the side of the circular object up and slanting inward toward the translucent dome.  I took it to be a bumper or something of that nature.”

Stanley Brumfield of Magnolia said last Wednesday he saw about 6 p.m. – while it was still daylight – “a round object like a ball colored like shiny new aluminum foil” about a mile off.

“I watched for a while and then the damned thing opened up, and something came out like it had on a parachute-like thing.

“It was the size of a small person, about three feet long, about one and a half feet wide.  It was rectangular and a drab or dark color – not shiny,” Brumfield, an employee of the state highway department, said.

“I flagged down a passing neighbor to watch the thing with me.  In a few minutes the darned thing opened up and the parachute-like thing went back in.

“It went higher then and disappeared in the clouds.  It never made any noises. 

 

Henry Brown, 68, of 419 East Sixth Street, an employee of Burger House West, came to The American today to tell of two strange incidents which he said occurred last week.

Brown said that has he arrived at Burger House West to go work about 4 a.m. Tuesday, he felt a weight as though something had landed on top of his car, and all four doors came open; that he felt cool air and then the doors closed, and the weight seemed to lift off his car.

When he opened his door to get out, Brown said he saw an object shaped like a squash moving off in the air toward the south.  It looked like a large light, with a blue ring, a yellow ring and a gold ring around it, he said.

Then about 3:45 a.m. Thursday, as he was driving to work out West Fourth Street, Brown said that as he approached Hutchinson Avenue, everything got dark, the lights on his car went out, his motor stopped and his steering wheel would not turn.  After a few seconds, he said everything resumed normal operation and he continued to work without seeing anything.

[Patrolman] Montgomery told the Daily Times-News Friday that sometime between 11:30 p.m. and midnight Wednesday, he noticed the dial on his patrol car’s radar unit acting “kind of funny.”

“The needle was jumping and the machine went haywire,” Montgomery recalls.

Montgomery said he got out of the car to check the radar unit.  It was then that he noticed a ’bright large light in the sky.”

 

[Police chief] Shelton said the thing will remain stationary until an investigating officer radios another car about it.  It then begins to move away – “every time we transmit it moves.”

 

The object had a silvery appearance, like brushed chrome.  It was seamless, without noticeable joints or rivets.  From its bottom, a short chute or ladder pointed at a 45-degree angle toward the ground.

 

Mrs. Miettinen said the large UFO spotted by her, her husband and daughter Tuesday night, was later joined by three smaller objects which appeared to be of the same composition.  She said some sort of ray comes from the UFO that when looked at, keeps you from moving. 

 

Lichtenwainer lives on Deer Creek Trail off Coleman Creek Road, Phoenix, happily above the fog.

The object was pale gray, without lights, and cavorted porpoise fashion in and out of the top layer of fog, according to Lichtenwainer who called his grown children to confirm his sighting.

...about 1 a.m. the power went off and [Bill] Pecha, who had been watching Channel 12 television, stepped outside and saw “this huge glowing thing hovering over our house.  It looked to me like it was 150 feet across and 10 to 18 feet in height, shooting out beams of bluish light.  It looked like an inverted cup and saucer with an outer rim spinning counter-clockwise.

At the time Pecha reported also “When I got outside I felt funny.  Seemed like all the hair on my body was being pulled up.”

 

Being tracked by a moving light, Mrs. Strand reports, is an unnerving experience.  “I was scared, really frightened.  I thought the thing might pick us up.  I tried to control myself for my daughter’s sake.  She was crying all the way home.  She wanted to know what it was.”

 

“It seemed to know where we were going,” she said.  “It did everything when we did it.”

Mrs. Ronick and her friend went to the home of other friends who also saw the object hovering over the house.

“It wasn’t high up.  It was just above the trees,” she said.

Mrs. Ronick said, “I really believe it was following me and I did not want to lead it home to my children.  I broke out in a sweat.”

The next morning, the pets and animals around the trailer park again began acting strangely, prompting Bill [Buerger] to go outside and take another look.

“When I looked up, a silver disc was swooping down into the valley, like an airplane on a strafing run,” Bill said.

“It flew past at an incredible speed and I ran inside for my Geiger counter.  The Geiger counter indicated a higher level of radiation, but while I was taking the reading, the thing came back and made another pass, this time coming down within 100 feet of the ground.

“I hit the dirt and I don’t know whether it was the fall or the UFO, but my Geiger counter went crazy and hasn’t worked since,”

 

The search party had split into two groups and were on opposite ridges of a wash area about a half-mile to a mile wide.

“I was standing beside my pickup, watching the light [UFO] through binoculars when the other group radioed that they had found him.  At that very instant the light accelerated directly away and in about three seconds was out of sight,” Florentz said.

He believes a UFO may have been monitoring their CB traffic while the search was being conducted.

Florentz estimates the object was about one-and-a-half to two miles from his location and, based purely on a guess, figures it was about 100 feet across in size...

[Another search party member said] “It had to be monitoring.”  One of the vehicles in the search was coming from town and as soon as he called his base station it began following him....

 

...experienced an irregular menstrual cycle for some time after her experience and severe burning in her eyes the next day...

They were traveling at trolling speed down Dyke Canal for less than two miles when suddenly it appeared.  It moved over the boat and just hovered, bathing the men in a warm brilliant light.  Then everything stopped.

“The motor was kicking, but we weren’t moving ahead,” said [Robert] Melerine.  It was then that both he and [Edwin] Menesses also realized that although the two could speak, neither of them could move.

“Let’s get the hell out of here,” one was reported to have shouted, but according to Menesses, they couldn’t.

“The gravity [?] forces were too strong,” said Menesses.

Melerine then got the idea to shoot at it with the rifle in his hand.  “No, don’t shoot it,” said Menesses, thinking it might be government property.

Then the UFO left them, and as it did so, the boat started off with a jolt, throwing the men back.  “This is the unusual part about this case,” said Dr. [Ted] Peters.  “In several incidents involving hovering UFOs, engines will shut off.  This time the motor continued but the boat didn’t move.”

Menesses then noted that Melerine’s hair literally “stood out like wire” after the event.

The two began to move full-throttle southeast...A couple of nights after the experience, said Dr. Peters, both men developed chills and high fever.

 

At one point, Suttles said, the glow started to elongate and a smaller, red light came out of one end of the white glow.  “It looked like something ignited,” Suttles said.  “A big fire and sparks flew out.”

Mrs. Hall said that the UFO had spikes sticking out of it.

There were a couple sticking out each side and it seemed there could have been some up top but I could not see them.

 

As they were driving back to town in the middle of the night, the hunters noticed that a large bright object was flying above their car.  At this point, the men panicked and jumped out of the vehicle.  According to their testimony, the lights of the car went out as the object hovered above the vehicle.

The two men suffered from minor burns to the hands and the paint on the car top was blistered. 

 

...a housewife of Macamie... watched a UFO coming toward her house in the middle of the night.  The woman reported that the object changed from pale to bright red as it collided with a Hydro line near the house.

Mr. Fergusson investigated the case and reported that a Hydro line had in fact been damaged that night.  It was repaired the next day, but Hydro officials were at a loss to explain how the line had been damaged.

...a dairy farmer, Mr. Shields of Otorohanga, and his share-milker, Mr. Singh, discovered a mysterious hole which appeared overnight on the farm.

The hole was in a muddy area inaccessible to tractors or drilling apparatus.

“Police called to investigate could give no further information.  A team investigating UFOs took measurements and samples.

Their report said that the hole had not been seen by Mr. Shields on the Friday night, September 3.  No footprints appeared within three feet of the hole and there was no crawler or tractor marks present.  The farm dogs had not barked during the night nor did the owner hear anything, although the homestead was only 100-120 feet away.

The hole itself was unusual; it measured nine inches in diameter, was fifteen feet deep [!] and had very smooth sides all the way down.

None of the soil appeared around or near the hole – it had completely and cleanly been removed.  The hole diameter had now shrunk to 8 inches.  The moisture content of the ground in the area showed a figure of about 45 per cent.

The conclusion of the investigating team was that mud formed by heating soil to about 600 degrees centigrade was left as a residue at the bottom of the hole.  Slight darkening of the sides of the hole was probably due to a similar, but less extreme effect.  Also this effect seemed to have been fairly strongly localized (Enhanced by good insulating properties of the soil).

From the description of the hole, a cylinder of 400-500 pounds had been removed (conservative estimate) possibly using a fast rotating device which did not compress the soil at all.

“Was it caused by a UFO taking a sample, or “Martian Worm?”

 

Sheriff’s deputies admit they are baffled by the mysterious flying box that zipped around the friendly sky over Weaverville Saturday night.

The unidentified flying object was reported at about 8 p.m. by Bill Isaacson, 80, who spotted it when he went outside to quell a noisy catfight in his yard.

He called the Trinity County sheriff’s office and deputy Gordon Kelly responded.

Kelly observed the UFO along with deputy Douglas Hodges and California Highway Patrol Officer Frank Wilkerson.

Isaacson, who got the first and best look at the object, described it as “square, with bright lights on the comers.”

Kelly said the lights seemed to brighten and dim periodically.  It seemed to hover at about 2,000 feet altitude before departing at a “very rapid rate,” Kelly said.

Isaacson said the UFO disappeared toward Oregon Mountain.

It was approximately 1:30 a.m. several weeks ago that Mrs. Leonard Twidt, who was not asleep, heard the TV antenna on her home at Lake Helen Mobile Villa shake violently.  She also observed very bright lights shining through the drawn windows shades of her bedroom.

Rushing outside, Mrs. Twidt observed a huge round object in the sky above the villa, fringed with flashing colored lights, slowly traveling at tree-top height toward the south.

[Patricia] Vietch reports that one relative from Germany Valley was picking alfalfa for her rabbits one night last October, and while doing this, saw a huge object as big as a house fly over her.  It had jagged edges [?] and went past her very quickly.

She ran back to her truck and told her husband about the incident...

“A strange thing happened when the couple arrived home.  They placed the alfalfa in the rabbits‘ cages, but the rabbits did not eat the alfalfa. In fact, they would not even go near the alfalfa.

 

He described it as being about 35 feet in diameter, blue-green in color and flying about 25 feet above the ground.  The object then moved toward the spot where he was standing, coming down near the tops of the trees.

As it came closer, he observed a circle of colored lights on the center bottom about five feet in diameter.  On either side of the circle was what he thought looked like a trap door.

After about 20 minutes it flew away.

 

Ruby Campa said her dogs, Charley, Trixie and Tiny, went wild.

The image on her color television set turned green.  Mrs. Campa, 37, who lives in the rural Howard’s Creek area just west of Lincolnton, and her daughter, Frances, 16, ran outside to see what was going on.

Overhead was a flying object, gliding at about treetop level.  It was star-shaped with lots of points coming out of it, gliding until it got way over in the sky...

Doug [Fields] tried to take pictures as it hovered out back over their chicken coop.  Using Instamatic and Polaroid cameras, with and without flash, he took several shots.  But none turned out.  The film in both were completely black.  This including pictures previously taken on the film in the Instamatic!

Another unusual incident happened four days later.  All the hens in his chicken coop went bald! 

 

“... followed them all the way.  [Bruce] Chinberg said he floored the gas pedal but even going down hill could only get the truck up to 60 miles an hour.  “I said to Rick [Bakker], the thing’s got control of the truck.”

 

[Bruce and Rick]... stopped at an all-night cafe.  It hovered overhead.  They convinced one customer to take a look.  Through the binoculars the craft was taking on another shape.  Its bottom opened up, extending petals toward the earth and a cord-like pole with a silver oblong object extending from it.  It spun at angles, flipped on its side and upside down.

 

It was 5:30 am, they [Bruce and Rick] gazed through the binoculars at the ship that had followed them and in the fading morning light spotted one and then another of the... [objects], 20 in all, flying in formation.  They traced the flight pattern on a piece of paper as the eerie objects disappeared in the distance.

 

“...I saw this thing which had green and red and orange lights and a convex bottom.  It was less than a mile from me hovering over an island in the lake and I know it didn’t make a sound because I rolled down the window of my car.

“But the thing that scared the hell out of me,” continues [George] Yeaton, “was when a bright light came from under the object and fully lit up the island in the lake for about 15 seconds.  When that happened my car radio went completely dead and didn’t come back on until the beam went out.”

They all reported the craft to be about 50 yards in circumference and approximately a ‘story and a half high.  They reported a strong beam of light shining from the underneath and on the power lines.

A strange odor permeated the area and the witnesses said they had a definite metallic taste in the mouth.

An attempt to call law enforcement agencies to report the amazing spectacle was futile because their CB radios had gone dead.

 

...he said the object let out a puff of smoke and started moving off in a southwest direction, then let out a second puff of smoke and shot upward out of sight.

 

A man with a portable two-way radio said he was following the object on the ground when suddenly “a door opened and a bright white beam of light shone down,” illuminating the man’s head and radio.  “I ran,” the man told police.

 

[Douglas] Griffiths was listening to his VHF monitors, which he does as a hobby in his home, when he started hearing a lot of static.  He looked outside to the east and saw “three quivering” bright lights “playing tag” with one another.

“I’d say they were about three miles away,” Griffith said.  The static on his monitors disappeared as soon as the UFOs went away.

The thing was dark but a deeper dark than the night and it had lights around it – they were yellow and created a haze rather than a beam, rather like disco lights.

He described the outline of the craft as resembling two 50p pieces one above the other and connected by inward curving panels.

As it hovered it appeared to be reverberating.  The word he used to describe the effect was “purring,” but there was no audible sound coming from it.

She said that she had stayed up to watch a late television show in her home on State Road 39 near the Shopping Center, and noted that the television reception was unusual.  Part of the screen would show color, and the other half would be black and white.

 

Chief [M. R.] Shelton – who has chalked up several sightings on his own – says the light generally hovers about 300 to 500 feet above the ground, and appears to be four or five miles away.  He adds that the light usually remains stationary until a radio report is given to his dispatcher – at which time the object “moves off in a straight line, either north-south, or east-west.”

 

Also in town was W. B. Nicholson, an associate of Battelle Memorial Institute, Columbus, Ohio.  Nicholson, using his vacation time, arrived in Dighton Wednesday, but reported having found “no real valuable data” on UFOs here during his 3½ day stay.

The Ohioan works with lasers in the institute energy beam physics laboratory and says his primary interest in UFOs is their propulsion systems.

 

The family said they were putting their picnic gear into the station wagon when they heard a low frequency sound and they spotted a strange-looking ship hovering over the area, he said.

“Here was this large disc-shaped object gliding toward them,” Hynek said.

Hynek said the family described a blue halo of haze that surrounded the object.

The object transmitted a similar haze to the family until “their bodies began to glow,” he said.

“That’s the part I want to find out about.“

...electric power abruptly went off within a quarter-mile radius of the [Thomas] Willard home.  All the homes in the area have bright outside security lights, which went off in unison.  After a few seconds some of the power used in the homes went back on, but not the outside lights.  Then the Willards saw two white lights and a red light in a cluster, about the “size of a panel truck,” hovering 100 to 200 feet above the Texarkana cable TV tower which is nearby in the neighborhood....after three minutes or so, the security lights came back on...

 

The UFO has been spotted at least three times above the giant Phelps-Dodge Smelter Plant smokestacks...

“I [Joe Nevarez] saw this huge thing flying over us and told the driver, ‘Stop...Everyone look!’”

He described the UFO as “V”-shaped with lights all around it.  There was one real bright light, a kind of searchlight.”

Nevarez said the UFO stopped above the smelter and shined the giant light into the smokestacks. 

 

“I woke my brother Damian, and when we got back to the window it [the UFO] turned on its side and the underneath went a kind of “fire orange” and two objects shaped like tennis balls came away from it and stayed at its tail.

“It then swooped and dipped over the playing field before vanishing over a church spire.”

Mr. Baldwin saw from a distance what he thought was cattle herded together.  On closer inspection he found it to be an almost completely circular patch of bare earth.

All the surface grass had disappeared and so he looked to see if it was grass grub.  But it wasn’t because the bare patch was too large (15-17 paces across) and it was too symmetrical, forming almost a perfect circle on undulating land....

[Len Baldwin said] “...the patch is peculiar, the edges are not burnt, but they are sort of frizzled.

“Everything is dead on the top, but the grass roots are alive.”

It was not grass grub that had caused the patch and it was not caused by [live]stock.  In fact, says Mr. [Dave, a neighbor] Hammond, sheep did not walk on the circle for some time.

 

...a new lookout was being built on the western end of Toppenish Ridge, within view of, but 10 to 15 miles from, three lookouts.  Each noticed, without telling the others, two or three orange-colored balls approach the new lookout site after construction crews had left toward evening.

After dropping to just above the ground and circling, as if to inspect progress, the balls moved off across the hills and disappeared.

A year ago, fairly late one summer evening, one of the lookouts observed a bright white light about 10 miles to the south.  When she stepped outside the cabin, she could tell that the light was not on the ground and yet was below the ridge tops.

As she watched, an orange-colored object approached from the direction of the white light, passed between her and the cabin at about waist height and circled the cabin, then continued back towards the bright light.  She described the object as “a glowing, fluorescent orange, about the size of a basketball and made no sound.”

“It appeared to be heading straight for the car so I slammed on the brakes.  It seemed to be vaguely triangular shaped with rapidly rotating and pulsating lights of different colors.  It was completely silent as I rolled down the window to see if I could hear anything.

Just at that moment a dog from a nearby yard came barking into the street at the thing in the sky.  Suddenly an orangish-yellow beam shot down and the dog disappeared.

 

“When Johnnie [Beer – yes that’s his real name] turned north at Riverside School, the object circled and traveled in front of him,” she [Mrs. Wayne Beer] said.  “As he turned west to the farm the light turned again and followed him into the farmyard where it hovered over the corral.

“Johnnie said he ran into the house and closed the doors and drapes but when we arrived home about a half hour later, we didn’t see anything,” Mrs. Beer said.

“But the next morning, the bottom two wires of the corral looked like they had been cut and twisted up in a pile in the corral, and several of our milk cows have burn spots on their backs.”

Mrs. Beer said in the burn spots the hair was singed to the skin, ranging from the size of a person’s fist to larger circles.

 

Kuhlman described the UFO [which was a mere 100 feet above him] as bigger than a wrecker truck with a “kind of white dome shell on top.”

He said it seemed to be powered by what looked like several small afterburners flaming from the bottom.

 

“Flashing blue lights were observed in Mount Magnet, West Australia, last year.  The following day 59,089 litres of water were missing from a tank on an outback property.

The plug was still in place and there was no sign of leakage or any tracks to suggest anyone had been near the tank.

 

On July 15, a Mint Hill family was amazed when their patio lights flashed off and on simultaneously with a hovering, oval-shaped UFO which later circled the housing development.

 

...a circular or disc-shaped object hovered over her [Geraldine Shields] residence between 9 and 9:30 p.m. Friday.

She said the object was above 25 to 30 feet in diameter with a low crown, made a high-pitched sound and had red, yellow and white lights.

The sound woke up a baby in the house, she said, and she had to cover the baby’s ears because of the noise.

She told deputies the object appeared three times and at one point pictures fell from the wall and the house vibrated.

 

[Mr. Donald]...Printy and his wife Peggy found a large circular impression on their lawn.  The circular impression was a perfect circle about 10 feet in diameter and was surrounded by a four-inch wide border which Printy claims overnight sprouted grass about two inches higher than the surrounding grass.

The next morning, Printy said, the couple found a second circular impression with the same dimensions as the first one.  This time, however, there was no border, but the grass within the impression had a bluish tint.

A man driving along the beach in front of Long Beach and Seaview spotted a round, glowing globe of light late last year as it hovered above the surf.  It was evening, and as the man drove, the object would follow the vehicle parallel over the surf.

When the man sped up, the object would speed up to keep even.  When the man turned his lights toward the object, it seemed to quickly sink into the ocean.  When lights were turned off, it would slowly emerge from the ocean to its original hovering height.

 

...reports were received from people within a two-mile radius of hearing a very strange, high-pitched sound along the line where the object was moving – a sound they never heard before.

People described severe headaches they had from it, animal disturbances and at least one other person reported a very bright light at the same time at the Latrobe Sewage Plant.

 

Plant life had mysteriously changed in character.  Although it was summer it was as if autumn had arrived overnight.

Analyses carried out at four separate laboratories produced startling results.  Chlorophyll and other substances in the plants had been reduced by between 30 and 50 percent.

But that was not all.

The scientists report added that an analysis of soil samples indicated that an object of extremely heavy weight had scraped along the ground leaving evidence of both thermic and mechanical effect and a residue of what was possibly combustion.

He was specific about the color.  He said it appeared to be a metallic, purplish-gray.  He was sure the bottom side of the object was metal, of an exceptional smoothness.  He saw no seams, although he said there was what appeared to be a metal pipe protruding from the underside.

 

“It,” the women claimed, was a disc-shaped object topped with a dome that was surrounded by apparent port holes.  Rising from the dome was an antenna-type structure with a light on its tip.

 

Gail [Reed] appeared to be still in shock Monday afternoon.

One of the other strange things is that we never go to bed without locking our doors and when my husband went to check around, the front door was unlocked.  And all that noise the ducks, the chickens and the dogs made, well, it was unreal.

Another thing that is weird is that my husband would wake up like a bolt had struck him, so quickly, the same time I did.  But the strange thing is that later on we were talking about it and found we were both dreaming at the time we woke up, and dreaming the same thing – that a man, only it was some different sort of man, was standing over us.

“I cannot believe all this.”

He described it [the UFO] as about 12 feet across a perfect flat edge on the bottom, shaped like an inverted soup bowl about 3 feet or more high at its highest part.  He estimated it to be the size of a car.  A bright white light was centered in a foot-high section across the bottom that shown red hot...

Mike said he believes it was drawn by the sound of the three-wheeler.  “I didn’t have the feeling it was spying.  It didn’t have anything to do with me after I stopped.”

 




 

“The two drivers said their car lights flickered and the engine nearly stalled,” [Charles] Wilhelm said.  The landowner told Wilhelm his television set’s vertical hold began to roll and the house lights flickered.

“It is weird, but every time it [the UFO] shows up, my phone and Sheila’s [Merchen] phone gets a noise on it,” she said.  (The Merchen family ranches nearby.)  “There is the noise on the phone, and then it shows up that night.”

She said the lights have been spotted most frequently between 8:30 p.m. and 1:30 a.m.

 

“I don’t really recommend that anybody go out there on a sightseeing tour,” he said.  “There is a history that when there are a lot of cars in the area, it doesn’t show up; just when there is one vehicle.”

 

A woman in her 60s driving at night on Route 220 near Bellwood reports seeing a large, silver object rise out of a field, emitting a loud, high-pitched sound.  It passes over her car.  The headlights go on and off, and the motor stalls.

She reports the two wheels on the right side of her car are lifted off the ground for several seconds, tilting the vehicle.  It is let down, then partially lifted again.  It takes her 25 to 30 minutes to restart the motor and leave the scene.

There was no damage to the vehicle, but the woman described by [Stan] Gordon as a “very stable” person, says since the incident she has lost hearing in one ear, suffers from a spinal injury and has had constant headaches.

“I saw it when I was 12,” she recalls.  “My mother, who had gone outside to fill the rubbish bin, suddenly urged me to hurry outside.”

“Above us in the sky was a brightly-lit object, shaped like a huge cigar, hovering over the park at the end of our street.

“Several times it moved lower, as if about to land on the grass.

“But on every occasion, a car would roar around the corner – causing the UFO to dart back upward.

“After 20 minutes of trying to park itself, it streaked off.”

Peter McEachern described his sighting of a UFO over Tyler Lake a year ago as exciting.

“I was drawn out of the house by a very strange feeling that something was going on.  I looked toward the Lake and there it was, a round ball of light hanging low and motionless over the lake.”

Nancy Lawson of West Cornwall was with him.  “We watched for about 15 minutes and then it suddenly took off.  “It gave me a really funny feeling.”  Later she talked with six of McEachern’s neighbors who had also seen the object.  All of them said they’d experienced strange sensations in their stomachs which they attributed to vibrations from the object.

 

The station’s news director, Bill Haney, told viewers they could follow the reporter to the site the next night.  Haney was expecting only a handful of people to show up; instead more than 1,000 cars gathered near the station’s headquarters.  After following the reporter to the site, they spotted nothing.

 

Many of them [UFO reports] come from Brazil, which is such a hotbed of UFO activity “they had to cancel night classes for two months in one area,” said Pratt, who has been to Brazil six times.

“If you went outside and turned on a light, a UFO would appear.”

 

“As I reached for the back door a lime green beam came down on the back of my hand.  I couldn’t move.  I was more amazed than anything.  Then the beam went back into the ship and I could move. It was as if someone had stopped a film and then started it again...”

A mark had appeared on Denise’s [Bishop] hand where she says the beam of light struck her.  Her mother told her to wash off congealed matter which had formed there.

[Deputy Sheriff Harold]. ..Hendsbee said he waited a few minutes, then tried to drive over the hill, located in Starks about 11 miles southwest of Madison.

“It advanced toward us, then stopped in midair.  I then backed up 30-40 yards and then stopped,” Hendsbee said.

He said he tried three times to pass.

“The second I started to go ahead the object came up again, shining the light right in my windshield.  It was bright enough so I couldn’t see in front of me,” Hendsbee said.

“We had the feeling it didn’t want us to go up there,” Mrs. [Helen] Hendsbee said.

Hendsbee said that after 20 minutes he turned around and drove home along Route 148.

 

Two men on an offshore oil platform said an unidentified flying object, making whining sounds and flashing several colored lights, hovered within 100 feet of them and knocked out electrical power on the rig in the Gulf of Mexico Wednesday.

When the vehicle finally sped away and the power was restored, the crewmen put in an emergency radio alarm for a boat to take them off...

The UFO report from Chevron Oil Co. platform, standing on stilt-like legs 60 miles south of Crowley, was the first [of many UFO reports from the Gulf Coast that day] from offshore.

Homer Lackey, transportation foreman at the Chevron base at Morgan City, said he sent the crewboat to stand by the platform after receiving the near panic radio call.

He said the UFO, or whatever it was, left without incident, and after several hours the crewboat returned.

Lackey said Jack Columbo, one of the platform crewmen, reported that the oblong vehicle hovered above the rig at about 1,000 feet before descending to within 100 feet.

 

...on focusing a powerful pair of glasses on it he was astonished to see that it was in reality a “dirty white” disc with strange zigzag white lines moving about and below it.

His daughter also saw the object and later the zigzag lines appeared to be caused by a much smaller disc moving quickly and erratically in relation to the larger one, this one varied in color, green, red and white.

 

“While driving home from the shop at about 10 p.m. I [Pat Hartley] glimpsed a bright light moving toward me at great speed.

“Imagining it was a car, I pulled over to let it pass.

“But then, what seemed to be a gigantic hand grasped my car and shook it up and down.

“When the shaking stopped at last, and I got over my severe fit of trembling, I discovered that my car engine had stopped and the lights had gone out.

“I desperately looked around for some explanation for this extraordinary experience.

“But the road was dark and unlit, and the incident to this day remains a complete mystery.”

 

It was a clear, moonlit night at 9:45 p.m.  He [Leslie Frost] said he saw above the field two huge “absolutely square” structures showing a pattern of red and white lights themselves as big as cars.  There was hardly any noise, which he found unnerving.

According to Mrs. [Margaret] Frost, “I saw them come across, like formation flying but too slow for planes and they couldn’t have been helicopters.”  And Anthony [Frost] added, “There was one big square one and a smaller one, with all these red and white lights.”   They never landed, he said, but as one flew over his head “it was just like a big manta ray casting its shadow.”

Then it stopped and “a terrific flash” was followed by a small triangular craft emerging from it and that circled for about ten minutes and finally hovered above his head, flew off in the path of the other two and “they suddenly vanished as though they went into a curtain.”

It started moving towards the field opposite us and I saw two red beams going round, illuminating the whole area.  It moved over us and beamed down a green light.  There were lots of lights flashing and we heard a very high pitch beeping noise.

Janet went on: “Although we couldn’t actually see it we could tell what shape it was from the position of the lights and it looked like a space craft.

“It was absolutely massive. We were terrified, my friend couldn’t speak and her dog was shivering and shaking and trying to bite her hand.  We just ran to a nearby farm and phoned the police.”

 

Alan Wagner, a toll-taker on the Norbert F. Beckey Bridge in Muscatine, was getting ready to feed wild rabbits early one morning in July when he noticed something strange.

The rabbits, who usually ran away when humans came around, were stretched out flat on the cement pavement.

That’s when he noticed a strange object hovering over the treetops on the Illinois side on the Mississippi River.

Wagner is one of three persons who reported seeing unidentified flying objects in Muscatine on three consecutive nights in July.

 

Clark [Stones], his wife Greta and visitor Stan Watson are all convinced they saw a small flying saucer on their farm in remote Arkengarthdale.

The shiny silver disc, about two feet across and six inches deep, was hovering alongside a fence on the farm.

Greta said: “The men had just come from the cow byre and at first Clark thought it was a fertilizer sack.

“But it seemed to be looking for a way through, going back and forward about five feet each way.

“It was a bit like the frisbees children play with, but very shiny.”

The men called Greta and approached the object—Stan got within 20 feet of it.

“Suddenly it just lifted up in the air as if it sensed Stan getting nearer,” said Greta.

“It was as if it was being pulled.  It went very smoothly at about 5 mph until it disappeared into the clouds.

“There was no noise, no smoke, nothing.  It was all really weird.”

“When we opened the car window and the object came closer to the car, it was something we had never seen before.  There was no noise and it was quite apparent this was a controllable flying object.”

Both Mrs. [Ken] Thew and her eldest daughter were intrigued by what seemed like the shape of “...a figure eight” which seemed to be outside the object.

In movement, a fan-like tail of golden-red color appear to follow it, but the “tail” was not visible when it was stationary.

 

Two flying instructors have claimed separately to have seen a nine-inch UFO near Blackbushe airport, Hampshire.  It looked like a flattened blob of mercury with “little hexagonal panels about an inch across,” said Mr. Laurie Adlington, 35, chief instructor at the Three Counties Aeroclub, near Yately.

He was able to fly within a few feet of it on Monday, and said it appeared to be rotating and in two halves “with a slit, like a joining line, in the middle.  Two short aerials were at the top, near the dividing line.  I don’t think it was out of this world.”

The next day, a similar object was seen at approximately the same time in the afternoon by Mr. Simon Spence, 21, also a Three Counties flying instructor.  He said it flew towards Farnborough at from 800 to 1,000 feet traveling at approximately 150 miles per hour.

...she was driving home from work that night when she saw bright lights coming at her from the sky at approximately 3:15 a.m. when she was stopped for a traffic signal at the center of Topanga Canyon Boulevard and Plummer Street.

She said she was so frightened she jumped the red light and sped home.  The only problem she discovered was that she arrived home a half-hour later than normal, and cannot remember anything about that half-hour.

She said that the next day she felt slightly nauseated and began breaking out in water blisters, as from burns, on her legs.

 

The technician said the object didn’t have any windows, but on the bottom was a large red rectangle, which looked larger than a door.  “It was the color of a shining candy apple,” she said.

 

“I don’t know what it was.  I’ve never believed in UFOs before, but I know what I saw,” Mrs. [Julia] Pickrel said.  “It was too high, too big and too bright to be a regular light.”

The couple had eyed the light glowing in the sky for miles before they rode below it.  Mrs. Pickrel said from the ground it looked about the same size as a wash tub, but it was several miles high in the air.

“There was a beam of light making a spot of light about as long as a fourth of a city block and as wide as our car,” she said.

“When the beam of light was on the car, the lights [of the car] went on and off about seven or eight times.  It was just someone was turning them on and off. Then we drove out into the darkness, and the lights never flickered again,” she said.

Because of the brightness of the object, the best she could tell of the shape was that it looked like a Piper Cub without wings.  Protruding from the bottom of the craft were at least three antenna-looking sticks, slightly at an angle, pointing toward the ground.

 





 

...preliminary results of infrared photographs taken later in the area indicate a 2½ mile path from where [Val] Johnson says he first spotted the object to the point of impact.

Laboratory experts said it appeared that chlorophyll in the vegetation was stimulated as if by a super-bright light.

 

There was a gap in the clouds and we saw a round ball shape with holes in the side. It looked like a golf ball and there were sparks coming from the holes...

 

...once when an object hovered over a swamp beside the road earlier this year.  He said on this occasion a hatch opened and what appeared like a child’s slide protruded from the object. 

 

After ten minutes of unsuccessful coaxing to leave, it was too late; the disc returned.  The mysterious silent object hovered again, this time even closer.

“Clutching on to the others, I pleaded for everyone to get in the truck.  My friend began flashing the truck spot light on the disc.

“The beam hit the disc; it jumped sideways away from the light.”

[Wayne] Dahling said he used field glasses to get a better look at the object and said it was circular in shape and honeycombed in texture.

 

The ship was surrounded by lights which were located in circular ports about 2-3 feet deep, [Wayne] Gerard describes.  There was one area, the shape of an inverted C, that had no lights, and there was a blue light located in the center on top of the ship.

 

When she got out of bed she heard a penetrating sound like a “huge swarm of bees” (which continued throughout the observation) and when she opened the door, her dog ran and hid under her bed with his paws covering its ears.  Before closing the door Mrs. [Harold] Eggers saw a circular UFO with a dome on its top and having around 12 square windows hovering about 50 feet off the ground about 90 feet away from her home.

 

...she was awakened by a burglar alarm sounding.  The alarm, deputies said, was connected to a freezer in the basement of the house, and the rhythm of lights flashing over the water “beat to the same rhythm” as that of the freezer.

[Patrick] Thrush pulled his car off the road onto an embankment, and as he started to turn his car around, he said, the high beams from his car showed a silvery reflecting object hovering about 20 feet over the water.  A tube extended from the object into the water...the tube, which had been at an angle, straightened up and began retracting into the hovering object.

 

Mr. [Glenn] Thoreen described the objects as similar to a shallow bowl and said there was some protruding object on the “saucers” which could be similar to a scanning device and seemed to move back and forth.  In fact, one of the objects seemed to have two of these protruding appendages similar to the lens on a camera.

 

It was a shaken John Struble who got the cement truck under way again after the object was gone, who noticed moments later that his watch apparently had been stopped too.  Mrs. Struble said the watch had kept perfect time prior to the sighting, and was five minutes slow afterwards — approximately the duration of the UFO appearance.  The watch was non-electric.

 

He said the UFO looked like two bowls with their rims together and another dome on top.  At the bottom of the object were three holes equidistant apart.  There were no lights, observers felt no heat or air...

 

“It [the UFO] was swinging and appeared to be wobbling at the same time.

“Then a most amazing thing happened.

“A bright red object came out of the side of the silver one.

“The two were then side by side...

“Suddenly, the red object shot upwards and out of sight at enormous speed.

“That left the silver one.

“Then it disappeared in the same way as the red one.”

“I could not tell exactly how big it was, even through binoculars, but we watched it hovering for some time before it slowly receded toward Queensbury.

“At first I thought it had something round the middle, but when we looked with the binoculars we could see at least seven large spikes radiating from the center.

“Then, to my complete surprise, we saw a smaller version move away from it, shortly followed by another one.  They moved off toward the Richard Dunn Centre, and we lost track of them.”

 

Salesman Alan Cave claims he became a time traveler the day he spotted a strange orange cloud.

For as he drove under the mysterious object in the sky, Alan says his milometer, his watch and a digital pen all moved... BACKWARDS.

Yesterday he told of his close encounter on the A46 between Bath and Stroud.

“It was exactly 11 o’clock when I glanced at my watch and it said eight o’clock.  My digital pen said nine.

“Both were right when I set out.

“Then the speedo started going back – it was weird.  It lost 300 miles, though a mechanic had since told me it’s impossible.”

Alan, 45, of Dorchester Road, Tauton, Somerset, doesn’t believe in flying saucers.

“But something very odd occurred in those few seconds – and I wouldn’t like it to happen again.”

“Perhaps the single most bizarre description of the light’s activity came from Ann French, 23, who witnessed an episode similar to the one described above except for one important detail.  The light did something during this episode that has not been repeated since.  According to French, the light “shot down” 10 beams of bright red light to the ground one right after another.  Each beam lasted no more than a second.

 

...hovering above the farm pond.  Soon, the ship flew away and the pond was gone.  No fish, no water, and no vegetation was left.  The bottom of the pond was dry and cracked.

 

There he was, he said, on the night of December 20th, at 3:45 a.m. driving down I-84.  He was 65 miles east of Ogden when he saw this startling object off to the side of the highway.

“There was a rectangular shape, it was low toward the ground and I saw it picking up deer,” he said.

“I know,” he agreed.  “If someone told me this I would think they was crazy too.”  “But yes,” he said, “that’s what he saw.”

“It had to be about...shoot!  I’m trying to figure out the size.  It was about as wide as a big house and I just seen it picking up deer.  It was unbelievable.”

 







 

An unidentified flying object has snatched two chickens from a farm in Chions, Italy – according to two eye-witnesses.  They say the flying saucer zapped the hens with a blue light beam before carrying them off.  There have been 20 UFO incidents in the area since August 1st.

Aviation expert Peter Halliday was left speechless by the sight he never thought he would see – a UFO.

Peter and wife Polly screeched their car to a halt as they returned home from a shopping trip last Friday in Baring Road, High Wycombe, and watched a disc-shaped craft speed across the clear blue sky.

“I looked straight at my watch and checked the time, it was 11:42 a.m.  We were so flabbergasted we didn’t even notice the car behind us flashing its lights for us to move out of the way,” said Peter.

The 59-year-old plane spotter’s home in Gayhurst Road, High Wycombe, is littered with aircraft memorabilia and RAF certificates of merit – proof that he is well qualified to judge what is or isn’t a UFO.

“I know what I saw was no aircraft or weather balloon or a satellite or any of the other standard excuses that the authorities use.  It was definitely a UFO.

“There was no way of telling what size it was because there was nothing to compare it against.  But if it’s the size of a jumbo jet for example it was travelling at least three times as fast.  That would make it travelling at around 1500 miles an hour.

“We tracked it for 15 or 20 seconds.  I was just amazed because I never thought I’d see one.  I’m not saying it was a flying saucer or a visitation from another planet.  It was just an unidentified flying object,” he said.

“We were heading back into Georgetown and I saw something out the window again,” Susan continued.  “I didn’t want to say anything to Ron but then he said, ‘Mom, did you see that?’

This time they got a good long look at the object.  Susan drew a picture, describing it as having two glowing saucer-shaped halves.

The object appeared to release another smaller light from its “undercarriage” or tail-end, Susan said.  When they arrived home, they noticed a triangular-shaped red object (the object released before?) circle above the yard and then disappeared.

 

Drawing of the craft sighted by Barry E. Taft over Los Angeles on the night of April 19, 1981.  The cigar-shaped object made no sound as it moved slowly over a West Los Angeles parking lot.

 

Researchers of the effect believe that some kind of high intensity fluctuating magnetic field interferes with the cars’ electrical systems, causing them to fail.

By studying records of such incidents, Johnson has found a statistical correlation between distance, duration, and size of the object, and the intensity of the effect on the automobile.

“For example,” he said, “if the UFO came within 500 feet of the car, stayed for over 30 seconds, then the car would likely come to a complete stop.”

At that time, two dead cows were found in the Sejita area.  The carcasses were intact but did not have any blood at all, he said.  No traces of blood were found at the scene.

The bodies of the dead animals were not mutilated, he said, and there were no wounds on the bodies whatsoever.

“The heifers were complete,” he said.

“There were no bullet holes.  No nothing.  Yet, they had no blood,” [Adolio] Briones said.

 

The men did nothing but stand in their position near the object.  Those who were facing in another direction away from the witness slowly turned their heads and looked at the approaching car but showed no particular interest in it.

An unusual fact about the men, one which the witness was reluctant to mention, was that they appeared to waver, much as an object appears to do when viewed through the heat radiating from a heater.  As the youth said, “they sort of wiggled like a worm.”
