Date: 1942
Location: Prouvy, Nord, France
Time: 01:00 a.m
Summary: A ufology catalogue reports circa 2003 that according to the French ufologists Joel Mesnard and Jean Marie Bigorne, in Prouvy, France, in 1942, at 01:00 a.m., a woman returning home by the garden found herself face to face with three entities of small size. In the moonlight, she very distinctly saw that they were not children. Their head was large and round and the three wore a short beard. The eyes were broad and luminous, of yellow color, and they were dressed with a combination of only one piece, brilliant, of metallic appearance. A hood continued the clothing so that only the face was uncovered. They were slightly spaced one from the other, with their arms slightly folded and rigid. The frightened woman entered her house, alerted her husband, but the time that he came out there was nothing anymore.

Location: Guam, Western Pacific
Time:
Summary: A US Navy radar officer who requested anonymity recalled several incidents of unexplained radar returns on his vessel’s air search radar in the area between Guam and Saipan during the summer of 1945. Typically they appeared as “large groups” of echoes detected at about 100 miles range on courses inbound towards the ship. Plotted speeds were over 1000 mph. The targets “passed overhead at approximately two thousand feet and showed up on the radar screen as definitely solid objects.” Visual lookouts on alert deckside saw nothing, and the radar officer himself on one occasion went on deck to search the sky, but he too saw nothing. He was adamant that the targets were not due to “ionized clouds, inversions, sea gulls, mechanical defects, or any of the other common explanations.” The equipment was carefully checked and found to be functioning properly.
