Summary: Mrs Ellen Jonerson was working on her lawn when she saw on a neighbor’s lot a very tiny person, not more than 12” tall, standing with his back turned toward her. He turned to face her and she saw that it was a man with a heavily tanned face, clad in coveralls & a plaid shirt. He wore a skullcap on the back of his head; his hair was the same color as his face. He had wide shoulders and was quite stocky. Mrs Jonerson went back to her house & called to a friend inside; when she returned, the being was “waddling” away. He walked under a 1937 Dodge without stooping, and that was the last she saw of him.

Time: 22:00
Summary: Between Tradate and Abbiate at 22:00, 42-year-old Bruno Facchini heard and saw sparks coming from a dark, hovering object, near which a man dressed in tight-fitting clothes and wearing a helmet seemed to be making repairs. Three other 5.9-foot-tall pallid beings, each wearing a diver’s suit and helmet, were seen near the craft. Bruno is hit with a light beam. When the work was finished, a trap through which light had been shining was closed and the thing took off. The witness had the time to note many details of the machine and its occupants. After the UFO departs, it leaves behind traces of a strange frictionless metal in the soil. A physical analysis was made. Physiological effects were noted. Attracted by a flickering light, Bruno Facchini, 40, came upon an oblate spheroid 10 meters wide and 6 meters high, from which a little flight of steps led to the ground. Its surface was chequered by stripes; around it was a circle of pipes in threes. Inside the UFO, Facchini could see pipes, cylinders, and gauges. 3 or 4 men of normal height, in “diving suits,” were seen; one seemed to be welding a pipe; all moved slowly. The suits had “earphones” and transparent faceplates, which seemed to contain liquid; the faces behind the faceplates were pale. Facchini walked up and asked if they needed help; the men gesticulated and replied something like “Grr…Grr…” Realizing they were extraterrestrial, Facchini ran; one of the men pointed a “camera” at him, which emitted a force beam that knocked him down. He lay there terrified and saw the repairman finish his work, the stairs fold up, and the object rise vertically with loud drone and a “chuff.” The next day 4 round marks were found, forming a 6 meter square, as well as several bits of metal, identified on analysis as an “antifriction” leaded bronze. Pains in his back lasted for a month.

Summary: Charles Riggs and other members of USAF contractor Land-Air, Inc were preparing for an MX-776A Shrike air- to-ground missile test. The Askania theodolite crews saw, tracked, and filmed four high flying objects on a cinetheodolite at station P-10 and a theodolite at station M-7. Triangulation resulted in a calculation of 30 feet size and 150,000 foot altitude for the “high speed” objects located between Holloman AFB and Tularosa Peak.The guided missile test range at White Sands is fully instrumented to track high, fast-moving objects–the guided missiles. Located over an area of many square miles there are camera stations equipped with cinetheodolite cameras and linked together by a telephone system. On April 27, 1950, a guided missile had been fired, and as it roared up into the stratosphere and fell back to earth, the camera crews had recorded its flight. All the crews had started to unload their cameras when one of them spotted an object streaking across the sky. By April 1950 every person at White Sands was UFO-conscious, so one member of the camera crew grabbed a telephone headset, alerted the other crews, and told them to get pictures. Unfortunately only one camera had film in it, the rest had already been unloaded, and before they could reload, the UFO was gone. The photos from the one station showed only a smudgy dark object. About all the film proved was that something was in the air and whatever it was, it was moving.

Location: 10 miles NE of Camp Haugen, near Hachinohe, Japan (BBU)
Time: 2:45 p.m.
Summary: Misawa AFB 7th Fighter Bomber Sq USAF pilot 2nd Lt. James Henry Petty was flying F-80C jet fighter in a slight turn to the left at 25,000 ft 320 mph (IAS?) heading NE about 45° azimuth to meet up with a lead aircraft (apparently another F-80C) piloted by Lt. Sofbom of 7th Fighter Bomber Sq, also heading NE at 45° at this point in a sharper gradual left turn, when he saw an unidentified object about 3 miles away at his 2 o’clock position (about ENE) following the lead aircraft in a tracking position about 1,000 ft below and to the right-rear [about 5 o’clock position roughly 1 mile away] from the lead aircraft traveling about 275-300 mph, silhouetted against clouds. During the lead aircrafts wide left turn that eventually resulted in a 260° heading, the UFO accelerated and pulled up to level position [at 3 o’clock] and climbed to the lead planes altitude while the F-80C rapidly approached and overflew both the lead aircraft and UFO, having to climb (slightly) to avoid collision [now heading about NW about 315°], but getting “a very good look from the top and both sides” of the UFO, Petty saw that it was a rectangular cream-colored flat object appearing to be made of “muslin” about 20 ft high, 60 ft long, but only about 2 inches thick, oriented vertically, not reflecting sunlight despite bright sun, no exhaust, no apparent means of propulsion, not wavering or fluttering. Petty first thought it was an aerial tow target but knew there was no aerial gunnery scheduled. After being overflown, UFO pulled away from lead aircraft, accelerated to 600 mph on a 330° heading [climbed to 28,000 ft?], overtook and crossed in front of Petty’s F-80C from behind and left to right [from about Petty’s 7 o’clock to 1 o’clock positions] and disappeared in the distance against a clear sky. Similar incident next day near Wakkanai.

Summary: Trans World Airlines Flight 117 pilot Capt. Robert Adickes and FO Robert F. Manning heading W en route to Chicago in a DC-3 at about 200 mph and 2,000 ft altitude saw off to the right well to the rear a bright red disc-shaped object, 5:1 to 10:1 width/height ratio, no trail, angular size of an orange at 20 ft, rolling on edge vertically on a parallel course to their plane overtaking it gradually in about 2 mins at slightly below 2,000 ft altitude until it reached about 100° relative bearing about 1/2 mile away. Adickes and stewardess Gloria Henshaw were then called in to watch, as well as at least 11 passengers including Boeing engineers C. H. Jenkins and D. C. Bourland, executives E. J. Fitzgerald, S. N. Miller, et al. When airliner was turned toward the object it veered off at 400 mph dropping down to about 1,500 ft headed N (or NNW), presenting edge on view, disappearing in a few mins.

Summary: Misawa AFB 9th Fighter Bomber Sq USAF pilot 1st Lt. James H. Harvey flew an F-80C jet to attempt to intercept unidentified target tracked by Radar Site #18 without success. After 1 hr, at 12:30 p.m., while flying due N 360° about 2 miles W of Wakkanai at 300 mph (IAS?) at 30,000 ft Harvey saw an object about 7 miles to his left in the W on a S 180° heading at 600-650 mph and lost it in the clouds or over the top of the clouds after about 5 secs. Object apparently circled around at high speed in about 10 secs [roughly 8 miles or about 3,000 mph] reappearing on Harvey’s right [at around 2 o’clock position] and continued to circle from right to left in front of the F-80C apparently still at 10,000 ft and closer [roughly 1 mile], was seen ‘clearly’ contrasted against the ocean. Object was a white square 12 x 12 ft (height x length) thin, appearing somewhat like an aerial tow target, oriented vertically, with no evidence of propulsion, exhaust, control surfaces or lights. Object was lost after about 5 secs when it blended in with the lower overcast clouds on about 270° W heading [roughly 10 o’clock from F-80C possibly 3 miles range]. F-80C had been in continuous radio contact with Radar Site #18 during UFO sightings but radar was unable to track either the UFO or the F-80C. Harvey had another F-80 in sight the entire time. Harvey descended to 18,000 ft and searched for the UFO for 15 mins without success. Similar incident previous day near Camp Haugen, Japan.
