Summary: A “reliable woman” said that she had observed a silver disc hovering above a Point Pleasant school. A male figure in a tight fitting silver coverall was “standing” (floating) outside the open door of the object in midair, gazing intently into the school playground. He had pointed features and shoulder-length hair. A similar object, she said, landed sometime later in the yard behind her home, and was witnessed by her teenaged children. A similar being was seen in this occasion as well.

A man talking a walk in the Royal Botanical Gardens suddenly experienced a state of heightened perception. He then became aware of a figure or nature spirit resembling the God “Pan” standing nearby. The being had a pointed chin and ears, shaggy legs with cloven hooves with two little horns on his forehead. He was apparently naked. The witness saluted the being that seemed startled by the intrusion. During a brief conversation the being told the witness that he lived in the garden and that his task was to help the growth of trees. He also stated that they no longer were interested in humans since we no longer believed in them.

Summary: Frank Mannor and his son, Ronald [plus 40-60 others including 12 policemen ?] saw hovering over a swamp about 1,500 ft away a brown luminous car sized object, with a “scaly” or “waffled” surface, cone-shaped on top, flat on bottom, or football shaped, and 2 bluish-green lights on right and left edges that turned bright red and helped illuminate object in between. Lights blinked out and object reappeared instantly across the swamp 1,500 ft away. The whole object lit up with a yellowish glow at one point and also rose up 500 ft then descended again. After 2-3 minutes of viewing, when 2 flashlights appeared in the distance the object seemed to respond by flying away at high speed directly over the witnesses with a whistling sound like a rifle bullet ricocheting. Object remained in the swamp area for 1/2 hr. [Various other sightings in the area by police shortly afterward.]

At one point on a descent a “convex” surface (between?) the lights could be seen. Radiation was later detected at the landing area about 600 micro roentgens/hr, roughly 30-60x background level, and possible boron contamination. (Vallée Magonia 732; Todd Lemire; etc.)

Summary: The witness, Eddie Laxson, was an electronics instructor & a veteran pilot. Driving to work before dawn, he found a brightly lit metallic object blocking the highway ahead. The fish-shaped hull, 10-12 ft high & 60-75 ft long, was resting on stilts; a central door was open, with steps beneath it. The object bore 4 lights, “the brightest I ever saw,” one directed to the front, one to the rear, and 2 to the ground. On top was a long, curved antenna, on one end a horizontal “tail” and near the middle a porthole. Near the tail end was a vertical inscription reading “TL 4168 or TL 4768.” Kneeling beside this craft was a man wearing something like an Air Force uniform, with peaked cap, and a chevron insignia resembling that of a master sergeant. Laxson got out & ran toward the object, then turned back to get his camera. Meanwhile the man entered the door, and the object took off, rising vertically with a sound “like an electric drill” and then moving south very fast. “As it rose, it seemed to have a magnetic effect on the hair of my arms.”

11:50 p.m. EST. A yellowish elliptical object with a textured surface (compare to March 20, Dexter, Michigan) and blue and white body lights was encountered hovering just off the ground near the road. The object had rotating lights resembling windows, and emitted a soft electrical humming sound. When the object moved toward him, the motorist’s car lights dimmed and his radio stopped playing (EM effects). The frightened witness took a pistol from his car, and when he fired it, the object glowed brightly and took off at high speed, making a “zinging” sound like the recoil of a spring.

Summary: March 29, 1966; Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
9:15 p.m. EST. A teenage boy saw two luminous oval objects about 8 feet in diameter descend and land, making a buzzing sound. The objects had a row of multicolored lights around the rims (body lights) “flickering like a computer.” He approached for a closer look, and touched the nearest object, which felt hard and smooth like metal. No heat or cold was felt. The boy then touched an antenna-like projection at the end of one of the objects and received a shock. Frightened, he ran home. His parents confirmed a 3-inch burn mark on his hand and questioned him thoroughly before reporting the incident to authorities. His first-degree burn was treated at a hospital and healed normally. (Keyhoe & Lore, 1969b, pp. 4-5; Bondarchuk, pp. 45-46, from the Hamilton Spectator, Apr. 2, 1966.)

11:15 p.m. EST. A bright saucer-shaped (disc) object with central dome and two protuberances (projections) on one side was seen hovering above Westminster Hospital for about 5 minutes. The object then flipped on edge, blue flame was emitted from the protuberances, and it rose into the clouds leaving a comet-like trail. An independent witness confirmed the sighting.

A “light beam was emitted downward from the object onto a utility pole. Domestic animals in the area were excited and agitated (animal reactions) while the UFO hovered, circled, and moved quickly from point to point. At 11:30 p.m. a Ford truck experienced total electrical failure as a cigar-shaped or elliptical object was seen low over sand dunes. The object circled the area and flew overhead
