HAVERHILL (MASSACHUSSETS : USA)
The wife of the owner of a small airport was awakened by a loud whirring sound which seemed to permeate the whole house,. Moments later it stopped. Thinking that an aircraft was about to make an emergency landing, she awoke her husband. Going outside he saw, hovering 8m above a pond between the house and the airport, a strange silent aircraft resembling two metallic shallow saucers, one on top of the other, with a transparent canopy on top. Around the object’s rim were evenly spaced elongated vents emitting soft orange flames. The canopy was illuminated by a softer green glow silhouetting what looked like the heads of two figures. Thinking it was an experimental machine in trouble, the witness walked towards it, yelling and gesticulating. The object then moved silently and smoothly away from him, hovering over some pumps and aircraft at the edge of the airport. The witness again approached with shouts and gestures, whereupon a loud whirring, swishing sound came from the object, and is orange lights began to spin at an increasing rate. Tilting back to an angle of 30 degrees, it then shot away at terrific speed. Simultaneously the yard light dimmed right down, then came back on as the object moved off into the distance. A smell like burnt matches was left in the air. The witness who got within 30m of the object described it as about 15m diameter, 7.5m thick including the dome, with a smooth metallic surface, the dome being made of the clearest material he had ever seen

RAVENSWOOD (WEST VIRGINA : USA)
A couple, making love in the back seat of their car on a deserted road, were startled by a blinding blue light and a tingling sensation. It came from a big ball of bluish light hovering just above the ground alongside the car. When the girl screamed the light seemed to move away, while the hum increased in volume. The light suddenly vanished. The couple dressed horridly and drove away. Though the incident had seemed to last only seconds, in fact 2 hours had elapsed. Both later suffered from severe rashes like sunburn and sore eyes.

BATH (SOMERSET : ENGLAND)
Chris Holder, a railway fireman was walking to work from his home on the Whiteway Estate, towards a place called “The Hollow”, when, reaching the junction with Kelston View, he saw a green object following the course of the River Avon from the city centre, towards Tiverton, where it passed just above the building line, occasionally going lower. He then lost sight of the thing and continued on his journey. When he reached the bottom of a hill, he saw the thing, a pulsating fluorescent green sphere about 1m diameter, with a row of smaller lights around the base, which were of a colour he had never seen before, come over the roof of a nearby house and come down to 60cm above the ground. It then rose again over a hedge about5m away, and went away across gardens.

SMALLANDSSTENAR (JONKOPING : SWEDEN)
Gunner Lundstrom (39), a road worker was driving to work on the road to Reftele, on this dark morning, when he noticed an object surrounded by a red-yellowish glow, above the treetops in the distance., The thing then came down and rushed towards him, just a couple of metres above the road. It was egg shaped and about as wide as the road. Gunner braked hard to avoid a collision and the object rushed over his car. He jumped out and looked back, thinking it had landed behind him, but nothing could be seen. Looking forward again, though, he saw it hovering just above the ground 75m away. It hovered for a while, making a buzzing sound and he could see dark spots along the side. It then moved rapidly away in the opposite direction to its previous trajectory, its colour changing to peculiar greenish-white-blue colour. After some minutes the thing disappeared.

Summary: Sales executive “John Gilbert” reported being abducted and subjected to “several startling medical, biological and sexual experiments” by aliens. His car was stopped at an undisclosed location and he was surrounded by a group of strange men about 3.5 meters tall with broad foreheads, elongated eyes and hawk-like noses. Their eyes disturbed him and as a result he did not look at them too closely, but he got the impression they had no pupils. There was a leader dressed in blue and they spoke amongst themselves in guttural tones. He became confused and faint and was dragged towards the ramp and into a craft, where he was revived and shown into a sort of control-room, then given an explanation of the craft by the “leader”, apparently by telepathy.

I couldn’t see his faced very well but I could see that he was grinning at me.” Linda got up from bed with a terrible scream. She cried out there was a man in her room. “He walked around the bed and stood right over me”. Linda declared, “I screamed again and hid under the covers, when I looked again he was gone.” She then ran into her mother’s room.

LOVINGTON (NEW MEXICO : USA)
A family of five were driving along an isolated road when a luminious object approached the side of the car, illuminating it. The car radio became filled with static and they felt their hair stand on end. The thing, the perimeter of which had a row of coloured lights, hovered very low over the car, and the 14 year old boy in the back seat saw a huge eye through a window in the object. The next thing remembered was that the car was almost in a ditch, and the one hour journey took much longer.

Summary: Maria Cristina Leguizamo said she was listening to the radio when a flying saucer appeared in her backyard. Communicating by telepathy, an “extremely handsome man, with green eyes and silver hair to his shoulders” invited her to take a ride in his craft. She was required to take off her shoes first. The humanoid told her that he came from “the Green Planet” and that “neither Russians nor Americans will ever arrive at the moon.” Also, a planet named “Arcobulos” exerts “an irresistible force on the planet Earth attracting it little by little toward the sun.”

A sliding door opened and a man emerged dressed in a black, tight fitting suit and wearing a helmet with goggles. He asked the witness some questions, such as what he was doing there at that hour, where he had been born, and then took Baldwin’s gun, looked at it and handed it back. Baldwin claimed the humanoid broke the muzzle of the gun while examining it. Baldwin said, ” He wasn’t white and he wasn’t black. He talked very plainly and with no accent. He had black curly hair.” He told me he would be back, walked up to the saucer, got in and seconds later zipped off out of sight. No imprints or footprints were left in the snow where the object had rested.

KEENEYVILLE (ILLINOIS : USA)
Mrs Lucille Drzonek was returning with her two daughters to their Bartlett home, after driving her niece home to Worth. They were passing Keeneyville on US 20 when they what they first thought was a shooting star, until it hovered and they could see that it was a circular object with blinking red lights. As they entered Bartlett the object seemed to descend into a wooded area, its glare lighting up the trees. As they turned to get a better view, the red glow disappeared and a brilliant white object shot out the woods, and shone two beams of white light into the car. The object followed them to their home, where it hovered about 3m above a tree. They woke her son who joined his mother and sisters in watching the thing for an hour, as it rose up into the sky and turned grey. A sort of grey mist descended over the area and when it had cleared the object had gone. Their dog, which was in the car with them, was terrified during the event.

LEOMINSTER (MASSACHUSETTS : USA)
William Wallace and his wife Joan were driving around, looking at the snow covered landscape when they observed a large white light hovering 120-150m over St Leo’s cemetery. William stopped the car and got out. As he did so, the car’s engine, lights and radio all failed, and William felt an electric shock and found himself paralysed. After more than 30 seconds the object moved off, increasing speed and emitting a humming sound as it did so. The car’s electrical system now worked but William felt his movements to be sluggish for about 15-20 minutes after the incident.

Summary: The Moline Sighting And Film Dr. Allen Utke, APRO Consultant and Professor of Chemistry at Wisconsin State University, went to Moline, Illinois, to investigate the March 9th sighting and Filming oI a UFO by William Fisher. His report follows : William Fisher is a 32-year-old patrolman on the Moline, Illinois police force, On March 9, 1967 at 1:30 p.m. he claims to have seen a UFO from the schoolyard of the Sacred Heart School in Moline, Fisher does school traffic duty and rides a motorcycle. He claims Mrs. Leo Schmitz anal Mrs. Frank Daebelliehn had pulled their cars to the curb and were also watching the object. Dr. Utke tried to contact both of these women but was unable to reach them lor comment. According to Fisher, Sister Mary Mark anal some children from the school also saw the object, but Sister Mary Mark is reluctant to discuss it. When Fisher first saw the object he said it was as big as his thumb held at arm’s length. He thought it was at an altitude of about 3000-4000 feet and about 1 to 1r, miles away. IIe estimated it to be about 30-40 feet in length or possibly even larger, The object lirst seemed to be extremely briLLiant and did’t have any definite outline other than that of a football. It then moved away from him into the NNW and seemed to become thinner in shape and less brilliant, Fisher later called the weather bureau and found that the winds were at 4O-45 mph generally from the WNW that day, almost counter to the direction of the object or at least perpendicular to it, Fisher thought the object was following the Mississippi downstream in a rough sort of way. The Mississippi flows from East to West at Moline. He first thought the object might be an aircraft, but soon realized it was not, and he also said he does not believe it was a weather balloon. There was no sound that he could detect, Unfortunately, Fisher did not start – shooting his 8mm movie camera (which he uses in his work) immediately anal also unfortunately the first 10 feet oI that he did shoot did not turn out. The 20-30 feet (30-45 seconds) he does have were taken therefore when the object was quite a bit further away than when he first saw it. The movie only shows a small, whitish object slowly moving into the background, although the ob. ject does seem to tip slightly at one place. There is no change in altitude and no change in speed. The photograph shown with this article is an enlargement (about 5 times) of one of the frames. Fisher was very cooperative aNd Dr, Utke does not feet he elaborated in any way upon what he observed. APRO will obtain a copy of the film as soon as it is available and iI additional frames prove of any worth for reproduction in the Bulletin they will be used in a subsequent issue.

Mr and Mrs R, driving home to Leominster encountered a thick fog as they reached the town, which forced them to drive very slowly. As they passed the cemetery, Mr R saw a light to his left, though his wife did not. Thinking that it might be a fire they drove to investigate. They now both saw the light and drove to within 200m of a brilliant object, shaped like a flattened egg, hovering directly over the cemetery and emitting a sound like a dynamo. As Mr R got out of his car he was paralysed by a kind of electric shock and the car lights, engine and radio died, and his hand was forced down onto the car roof. After 30-40 seconds the object accelerated away. At once the car lights and radio came back. The object, still humming, vanished out of sight in the fog.

Six members of two neighbouring farm families 11.5kn east of Galesburg (two housewives, two teenagers and four children) saw a pulsating red light at treetop level, close to the horizon, between their location and Galesburg. One of the women saw it first and her scream alerted the others. The object was a disc surmounted by a cone and with a rim of irregularly pulsating red lights. It approached closer and then a brilliant white cone of white light seemed to explode from it, towards the witnesses, forcing them shield their eyes. This white light turned off after 10 seconds and then the red pulsating lights were again visible until the object accelerated rapidly off to the north, disappearing behind trees. This was the third UFO experience of the two adult women.

Summary: Two men were motoring in a remote area when their truck’s engine failed. Before they could get out of the vehicle to investigate, they saw a fifty foot wide saucer shaped UFO descend to the ground in front of them. Two bizarre looking “aliens” emerged from the object and walked over to the truck. The humanoids were described as of average height. With large heads, flat on the back, gray in color. They had normal eyes, mouths, and noses. They wore tight fitting gray diver’s suits. The two men reported they felt like they were being bombarded with vibrations and had the uncanny feeling the aliens knew what they were thinking. Rolling the truck windows down, the men spoke to one of the aliens, that reportedly told him that they meant no harm and they could continue their journey if they promised to keep the meeting a secret.

Summary: Four boys, Bob and John Kangas, Mike Kauppi and Scott Mackay, aged 9-12, were riding on a snowmobile when they saw a very bright light coming from an old abandoned hay shed in an open field, and a second beam of light about 100 yards away. Near the latter were 5 moving black “objects” about 3 to 4 feet high, and arranged in a diamond formation with a fifth at the center; these “objects” seemed to glide over the deep snow, then moved toward the beam of light and when they reached it, both the light and the “objects” faded out of sight. The boys headed for the nearest house, “visibly shaken, almost to the point of hysteria.” Two footprints of unidentifiable shape were found later at the site.

Summary: A shepherd and his young assistant were walking a herd of lambs along a field when they noticed a bright flickering light above some nearby woods. The light began moving back and forth and illuminated the area like daytime. It then descended behind a nearby ridge and as the witnesses approached, it suddenly rose up and flew towards them. Both could now see that the light was actually a very tall man carrying something in his hand resembling a flashlight, he landed on his feet near the witnesses, which did not noticed any means of propulsion on the humanoid. The figure walked for a few moments then rose up again, flying standing up, again illuminating the area with a bright white light. He disappeared from sight above some nearby trees.

Summary: Going out to look for low flying lights that his wife had seen, Mr. B and his daughter observed two globes of yellow-white light about a mile down the road and 200 feet up. These approached and descended, and appeared to land on the road a quarter of a mile away, but then raced toward the witness’s car at an estimated 70-80 miles an hour. When 50 yards away, they suddenly vanished; the witnesses then saw, at the same spot and in the headlights of the car, a standing group of five expressionless humanoid figures. The car had to swerve around these beings, which were directly ahead of it, to avoid hitting them. They had slit eyes and mouths, pointed noses, and rough looking skin like scar tissue. All wore caps beneath which blond hair was visible; the shortest, only 5-feet tall, had shoulder length hair and may have been a woman. All wore loose fitting gray green shirts and trousers. As the lights approached the car, the daughter had heard “a chorus of voices in my head, repeating, “don’t move.'”

Summary: CNT lineman Kenneth Green and his wife glanced out and saw something move at the top of the 1800hrs.m peak, about 8km away. At first they thought it was a snowmobile and then realised that it must have been an object the size of two freight cars. Through binoculars they saw that it was a wide oval object of brownish colour with a cone shaped light beneath it, which changed colours, mainly between red and yellow. The cone was vertical when the object was stationary and at an angle when it moved. This object slowly descended the mountain, just above its surface until a quarter of the way down it headed over the adjacent mountain and then flew part way back and disappeared in a gap between the peaks. During the 30 minutes it was visible neighbours Mr and Mrs Tom Clare also saw. There were other witnesses. 30 minutes later Kenneth saw a vapour trail in the area.

They drove towards the thing, whereupon it flashed and came towards them. It was a flat object, surrounded by an inverted cupola. When the object came overhead the car rocked violently from side to side and engine stalled. When the object left suddenly a few moments later the engine restarted itself. The girls then drove to Hillsboro and reported the matter to the authorities.

NEW BADEN (ILLINOIS : USA)
Two women aged 51 and 25 were awakened by a considerable heat in the bedroom. Through the window, they saw a disc shaped object on the ground. Its surface was illuminated by a soft glow, and a bright circular light was located at its centre. In the lower section was a ring of red lights and lighted panels were evident around it base. This object ascended vertically, stopped briefly and then flew away horizontally, describing two sharp turns before disappearing behind trees. At the site they found an area 16m diameter where the plants were dehydrated. Five holes were found leading away from the area, 90cm wide, 25cm deep, each containing a dark vile smelling liquid. An Air Force investigation did not take away any samples. The site was still barren in 1972.

Air Force Staff Sergeant John Ferguson, his wife and three children were on the FM road, en route from California to Tennessee when he pulled up in the vicinity of Loco to consult his road map. His attention was attracted by a red light, which he first thought was another vehicle until it came close, at which he saw that it covered the width of the road. John now drove off, the object following him at speed up to 160kph, profiling the contours of the landscape. It was gaining on the car when they reached a farmhouse, where the light split into two separated lights and disappeared.

BELT (MONTANA : USA)
Ken Williams was driving his auto-transport from Laurel to Great falls when about 3km south of the turnoff to Belt, he saw a bright light moving slowly a few hundred metres above the hills. He then lost it to view. On reaching the bridge on the long grade into town, at the top of Belt Hill he saw the object again. It was a huge dome shaped thing, 800m away emitting blinding white light and was at 200mn altitude. He stopped and saw the object descend to on or near the ground in a ravine about 2.5km away. It took off and settled down in a ravine behind a ridge. The light brightened and dimmed three times, becoming blinding at its brightest. At its brightest the light was too brilliant for him to look at. Ken stopped a motorist, Don Knotts, who informed the police department. Patrolman Bud Nader drove to the scene, briefly seeing a light to the right of the Belt Hill en route. Arriving at the scene, he saw a light, like that from a farmhouse, in a ravine, which was too steep to investigate that night. A search next day found an area about 10m diameter of freshly broken twigs and branches, which brakes appeared to have been caused by rotation. Investigations were inconclusive.

A hexagonal object some 10m diameter appeared on the right side of the old Rio-Sao Paulo highway, at kilometre 51, between Itaguai and Camp Grande, and then accompanied a car carrying six people for 50km. The centre of the object was luminous like fire and rotated, while the upper and lower parts were dark. The object seemed to fly in a spiral path at a constant altitude of 15m. The travellers stopped to have a better look and when they turned off , the light, which had also stopped, went out and the object was not visible by the light of the full moon. After 5 minutes they decided to continue their journey and the lights of the object came back on and it continued to accompany them until they came to a place where a hill came between them and the object, after which it did not reappear.

Summary: The Cecil Bailey and Robert Lore families had observed UFOs in the area on several occasions. On the evening of March 26, they were back and Lore and Bailey were in a car driving north of their farms to look for lights that had appeared to land on the ground. In an isolated section of farmland the two men passed a human appearing figure in white coveralls standing alone by the roadside; their dog, in the car, “really kicked up a fuss,” appeared to be terrified. When the men got home, the lights were once more visible in the sky, one bright enough to light up the hill behind it. On returning to the site where they had seen the stranger, the next day, they found numerous nearly rectangular footprints, some of them 9.75″ long and others 8.5″ long.

Summary: Driving home from work in Kent at 0215A, David Morris rounded a bend and noticed an orange red, glowing cone shaped object, 25 feet high and 12 feet wide, hovering several feet above a field to his left. When he looked back at the road he saw four of five little beings running back and forth across the road directly in front of his car. Less than 4 ft tall, they were stocky; and either had abnormally large heads or were wearing helmets; they glowed the same orange red color as the object. He slammed on his brakes, but not in time to avoid hitting one of the little figures, and he saw an arm fly up with a mitten-like hand—no distinct fingers—as the car collided with it. At the same time he smelled a strong metallic odor, “like brass.” He stopped some distance ahead, believing he had struck somebody; looking back, he saw a group of the beings clustered around what was apparently the one he struck. Suddenly realizing that what he hit was certainly not human, he became frightened and “burned rubber” getting away from the place. He arrived at home in a very upset state and later, found that the impact with the being had left dents and scratches on the bumper of his car.

On the evening of March 31, Lester Rosas, acting under a strange compulsion, boarded a bus and took it to the end of the line, which happened to be along a coastal area. He kept walking until he reached a deserted part of the beach. Unsure why he was there, he felt an odd sensation as a man who had shoulder length hair and was dressed in a close fitting garment approached him. The man extended his hand, but when Rosas tried to shake his hand, the stranger withdrew it after a mild pressing of palms. The strange spoke in Spanish, and told Rosas that he was from Venus and that his name was “Laan-Deeka.” He then began to discuss the subject of reincarnation, saying that advanced earthlings who obey nature’s laws are permitted to live their next lives on spiritually developed planets. The stranger then led Rosas the other side of a small nearby wall, where they witnessed the materialization of a disc shaped object. A door slide open, and a woman emerged to engage Rosas in a palm-to-palm handshake. “Her hair was long and fair, and she had a fantastic figure…I estimated her measurements at 5’4″ and 37-27-35.” She introduced herself as Laan Deeka’s fiancée. The couple appeared to be no more than twenty years old, but their manner suggested wiser, older persons. They had high foreheads and slightly slanted eyes, his green, hers blue. There was a musical sound to their voices, a sense of joy in their speech and action. The three then entered the ship and flew off to Venus, which proved to be a paradisiacal world reported by other Contactees.

Summary: Carroll Watts, a farmer, had just left his father’s farmhouse; as he drove near his own property, he saw a light near an abandoned farmhouse. Fearing prowlers, he drove to within 200 ft and approached on foot, finding a gray bullet shaped object, 100 feet long and 8-10 feet in diameter, with a 20″ diameter light in its nose, hovering a foot above the ground. Watts walked around the object and, finding the outline of an unopened hatch, knocked on it. A U-shaped door was lowered from the hull, to the sound of a whirring motor; steps inside the door led into the interior of the craft which was illuminated by a bluish-white light and contained instruments and electronic type equipment. On the opposite side of the room he observed what appeared to be a map, about a foot above the floor, about a yard square in size. Shortly after the door opened, Watts heard a mechanical sounding voice, although he saw no one; the voice addressed him by name and asked him to submit to a “strenuous” physical examination, as a prerequisite for being given a ride in the object. Alarmed, Watts quickly retreated and left the area. He reported the incident within days to the local Air Force Base at Amarillo.
