Location. Granja de Torrehermosa Badajoz Spain

Time: 1400
Summary: About 20 small boys, including 5-year old CS, hear a loud noise and observed a bullet shaped object approaching from the NW at high speed; passing overhead, it turned east and descended to several meters above the ground, about 500 meters east of the boys. About 4 meters long and aluminum colored, it had a transparent window at the narrow end through which could be seen the heads and shoulders of two apparently naked occupants. About ten adults joined the children and the group approached to within 50 meters, gesturing to the “pilots.” CS described them as appearing green, with apparent “antenna” on their heads. As the ground drew near the object ascended rapidly to the east and disappeared “in a second.” There were no traces.

Summary: A young woman named Ludmila Vartanyants, of Armenian nationality and a student at the Ashgabat Medical Institute, was resting in the yard outside her home after a very hot and busy day. Suddenly she felt discomfort and an unreasonable fear overcame her. Moments later she felt her body become completely paralyzed. The fear enveloped her completely, paralyzing her will; she could not make a move or even open her eyes. She struggle and was finally able to open her eyes slightly. But to her horror she saw two 3-meter tall giants standing over her. The humanoids had grotesque looking heads with what appeared to be several eyes on them (!), they had trunk-like protrusions (gas masks?), and several slits (like mouth slits) on a gray-greenish skin. She closed her eyes and again opened them, but the horrible entities were still present, standing near her. The “monsters” then leaned over her and she apparently lost consciousness. (She was possibly abducted and subjected to a medical examination). She returned to her senses only in the morning feeling completely sick and jaded. Her face was swollen, as if having an allergic reaction. She was ill for many weeks after the encounter, her bones and joints ached continuously and she had trouble sleeping. But to her outmost amazement, her intellectual abilities suddenly increased after the incident, and she passed all the exams at the Institute very easily—strangely she apparently knew the answers to any of the questions before they were asked. She felt as if the knowledge was being “transmitted” directly into her brain.

Summary: June Rice was walking home along an isolated dark field. She noticed that it was unusually quiet that night and no animals seemed to be around. Two men suddenly appeared out of nowhere and walked towards her. The men were very tall and wore whitish silver suits, one piece. They were very pale with white hair and had beautiful eyes. The men turned and the witness felt an urge to follow them. Next thing she remembered was being in a round room with seats all around and people sitting on the seats. She was made to sit down while the beings communicated with her by using telepathy. One of the men then approached her and put his hand on her head. She seemed go backwards and her seat went upwards. She then felt a very sharp pain on her side and her next conscious memory was being in her bed at home.

Summary: A young boy fishing in a desolate field by the River Platte, suddenly felt as if someone was watching him, after a few moments he turned he head and saw a very tall man looking at him. This individual had fair skin, clear eyes with short well-groomed hair. He told the witness in a friendly way “not to be afraid.” The man wore tight fitting mustard colored coverall with a hood hanging on the back. The being took out a small sphere that emitted a very bright luminosity; he then took the witness by the hand and told him to follow and not to be afraid. As they neared the river edge a silvery disc shaped craft arrived, it hovered very close to the ground, a door opened and a ramp descended to the ground, another similar being emerged and both invited the witness inside. While inside he met a 12-year old girl that told him that she had also been abducted but that “they” were good. More beings now appeared including females, who wore similar mustard colored outfits, had beautiful yellow eyes, and had close-cropped black colored hair. They both were told to undress and given clothing to wear. They were apparently taken to a huge space station where they saw similar beings that wore tight fitting blue outfits, gloves, and helmets with visors. They were made to lie down on beds and were put to sleep as the object traveled through space. The beings mostly communicated via telepathy and performed several mental experiments on the two abductees.

Summary: A local miner, Benigno Hoyo was prospecting near the Morro del Pilar when during a severe snowstorm he took refuge in a local cave. Inside the cave a huge bear-like creature that lunged at him confronted him. Terrified he fired his weapon and heard agonizing screams as the creature disappeared further into the cave. Locals call this kind of creature the “ukamar zupai”. Which they describe as having human characteristics but completely covered with hair and with a pointy-head. It screams and yells when in the presence of humans. Around the same time the local inhabitants found several condor and eagle nests destroyed and the eggs partially devoured. During an archeological expedition by Tucuman University the partially eaten bodies of a bizarre species of goat that possessed four horns were found. Also huge footprints were found around the dead bodies.

Summary: An object was initially sighted on height finder radar at 320 degrees azimuth at 54,000 feet altitude at 60 miles range. The object descended to 50,000 feet and moved to 32 degrees azimuth. The radar station contacted the radar station at Naselle, Washington and requested that they try and get a height measurement on their radar. They were able to pick up the object and verify the original radar reading. After two hours the target faded from the radar scope.

Location: near Hamilton AFB, California (BB)
Time: 11:35 a..m. PST
Summary: A round silver object the size of a dime held at arm’s length was observed first by the radar operator, Lt. John W.Curtiss, of an F-89D aircraft at 20,000 feet. The object was observed for approximately one minute when the pilot, 2nd Lt. Robert C. Morelli went for a closer look and the object appeared to go between the F-89 and a contrail above the interceptor. This led the pilot to believe that the object was close and he initiated maximum performance of the F-89 to intercept, climbing at 250 knots IAS but the object appeared to pull away and up. Fuel became low on the F-89 and the intercept was terminated and the pilot turned toward home base at Hamilton AFB. The object was observed for approximately 10 minutes. The radar was inoperative on the F-89D.
