Summary: From the Lansing State Journal, June 30, “So swiftly did the strange craft travel that it was not more than three minutes until it had passed from sight in the northwest. The aerial mystery carried no lights of any description and was too elongated for an ordinary balloon. The craft was at a great height and when it passed to the northwest of the city had reached a still higher altitude.” A sizeable crowd at a racetrack in Lansing Michigan witnessed the event.

Summary: A peasant walking along a local valley called “Valle De Sapu” found his way blocked by a short stocky little man wearing dark tight-fitting leather like outfit. For a few moments both witness and humanoid stared at each other, then the witness attempted to walk by but was prevented from doing so each time by the little man that would block his path. Soon a struggle ensued and the witness felt the humanoid’s skin and noticed that it was very rough and cold. At one point the witness managed to hit the humanoid on the head with a large piece of hard bread. The being then stepped back and shot upwards inside a beam of light and into a large circular moon-like object.

Time: 09:30 p.m.
Summary: In 1909, and until 1914, there were “waves” of stories of airships spotted over England, and lively debates between theories that these were hallucinations, pranks, or German spies in airships. A newspaper reported that John Ripley and T. Clarke, about 09:30 p.m. on February 21, 1913, led a sand barge in Beningbrough on the River Ouse when they believed they saw lights, which circles the country for some time. At 4 am the next morning, they allegedly clearly saw the body of the airship above Linton Locks. Ripley said: “I am certain it was an airship because we could see the outline faintly. It was almost like a cigar, except that it bulged out very much in the centre.” “We could see three wheels, one at each side of the centre and one at the rear. A lamp or searchlight at the left-hand side was being used in all directions. We could just hear a faint throbbing noise.” According to one modern ufology source citing a newspaper, it disappeared about 10:30 p.m. and reappeared at 04:00 a.m. the next morning, it disappeared at 05:30 a.m. toward Easingwold, and the men also saw some box-shaped part in which was a pilot. The story thus entered ufology, including a catalog of “Entities” reports

Summary: A Mr. Collins was aboard his yacht when he saw a strange “aero-plane” like object approaching from the sea. It suddenly ditched into the water near the shore. Collins then approached the craft, which was now apparently at the shore. He saw three occupants apparently working on the object. Two were tall, heavy set, blond haired and light complexioned. Thinking they were or German origin he asked if they needed any help in German. One of the men responded in French, claiming he could not understand, and then in no uncertain terms told the witness to leave the area. Collins quickly left and did not see the craft depart.

Summary: Three children were collecting their sheep about noon when they saw a flash in the sky. Later a white bright figure appeared near a tree. The entity resembled a beautiful female. A powerful bright light surrounded it. It appeared to be 12 to 15 years old, was about 4 ft tall, and was wearing a tight skirt, a coat, and a cloak. Her head was covered by “something” hiding the ears and hair. Her eyes were dark. She was carrying a string of beads around her neck and a ball of light at the waist level. She had appeared to come from the sky and vanished in stages. She did not execute any facial movements and her feet did not move while walking. She also spoke without moving her lips. Moved her hands briefly, turned back to the witnesses when leaving. This contact lasted for 20 minutes.

Time: unknown
Summary: J. L. Buick & another prospector were startled by a small brown man saying “Peace be with you, my friends.” Sitting on a patch of sand was a silvery round object nearly 100 ft in diameter, with central dome & a small conning tower; no wheels underneath. Around it was other small men in brown picking flowers, pebbles, etc, & some mining a rock outcrop. The occupant told the witnesses they were from another planet, which had secretly been keeping tabs on earth for over a hundred years; they had learned English via spies working in a US circus. The craft rose silently & then took off. Next day it came back, & they were given a tour inside; 5 concentric saucers with diminishing air pressures, the outermost being evacuated. As to lift, “gravity is only a different type of magnetism,” so it can be controlled by an electromagnetic drive; they can do 9000 mph, and have artificial gravity inside the saucer. Rockets, they were told, had failed for space travel.
