Summary: Two farmer’s sons saw a circular red object hovering over a power line near the barn and livestock pens. One of the boys observed it from a tree, the other from behind a barn. The object shone a beam of red light at each of the boys. One fled to the safety of the farmhouse. The boy in the tree remained behind and saw the thing take off, lower itself further down the line and then land behind a clump of trees. A burnt circular area and impressions were found at the site. This was just the start of a whole complex of UFO activity on this farm.

Summary: Auctioneer and agricultural advisor John Shelley of Cregg, was driving with his wife when, near a local creamery, :they saw a hemispherical object 12-18m diameter, 4.5m high, which came down in great half circles to a standstill as they stopped within 100m of it. The thing gave off an orange light at first then deepening to crimson as it landed from its top. This light, though apparently weak, still dazzled their eyes. At first they saw a mist under the object but this cleared away. John wanted to investigate but his wife insisted that they drive away. :When John went back to the spot no trace could be found

Summary: A British sailor named John Fairfax was crossing the Atlantic alone when he reportedly observed two brilliant lights on the horizon. They separated and flew higher into the sky. As he watched, fascinated, he claims he entered a motionless, trance-like state. “It was more than just seeing them,” he related afterwards. “It was this force. It was as though they were saying to me: “Do you want to come with us?” And I was fighting it and saying back: ‘No, no, no!’ It was like telepathy, like being hypnotized.” After the objects swooped away, Fairfax realized for the first time that the cigarette he was holding had burned his fingers.

Summary: Alberto Zecua was sleeping in his bedroom when he suddenly woke up with a feeling of being watched. He opened his eyes and saw three very tall human-like figures wearing tight-fitting gray silvery coveralls looking down on him. They wore some type of metallic bracelets around their wrists and boots and wide belts with a luminous box in the middle around their waists. These were apparently the same beings he had met before in 1968. Again, using telepathy they told him that they were here to help and not to interfere. They then placed a small square box-like device over his bed that floated over the witness. Then one of the beings walked over to his feet and another to his head. He then felt numb and heard a humming sound, then found himself levitating above the bed. Soon they were done and the witness noticed a strong odor in the air resembling menthol. He was told that they had performed an internal cleansing of his body. The beings then apparently vanished in plain sight.

Summary: This case takes on a special interest when combined with the case from Lancaster, MO which occurred less than a week later [the 10th,see below on this list] and just up the road a few miles. A rural postal carrier was rounding a curve in his truck. About 1/2 mile to his right there was a large reddish colored object traveling 50 feet above the ground. He judged it as 100 feet in diameter. It hesitated briefly, and then made for his vehicle. It took up position in the air over the road, traveling in his same direction slowly. As he closed the distance, a strong white light came from the bottom of the disk and shown on the road. This beam was the full diameter of the object at the top but narrowed to an 8-foot diameter spot as it hit the street. [note that as you read the Lancaster case below, that this is the exact opposite of what that beam was doing]. This beam was extremely hot, and it affected the driver. Also, when the beam shot down, the whole object changed colors. It became bright blue with a red aura about it. There was also a yellow band around it which gave the impression of small racing lights as if the thing were turning. The great brightness made it difficult to see any details, if there were any. His radio was breaking up though not completely out. But when he got right to the edge of the light beam, the radio did quit, and the truck’s motor did also. His vehicle then rolled slowly forward as the object moved a small bit further along. Once away from the beam, the radio started again and he was able to restart the truck. The object gradually moved away, once flashing mightily as it crossed a power line. It had changed back to red, as it cruised along in synchronization with the contours of the ground and went out of sight. He said: ” I had never believed in them too much until I saw this. Now I know that there is something to these UFOs. I don’t know why it was there or where it was going. Neither do I know what it was after I saw it, but I don’t care about being that close to another one.” NICAP began with this case to attempt to marshall technical experts to give their opinions on what possibly could have gone on. The case was sent to physicists, a Ford Motor company engineer, James McDonald, Allen Hynek, Ray Fowler–all the heavyweights they could muster. No one could come up with a reasonable theory for what was described. The witness had a different solution for the feedback he was getting–he took a vacation to go fishing in the Ozarks.

Summary: Osvaldo Dominguez, driving his van, got out to check his battery when his lights grew dim. He noticed only 20 feet away and floating in the air a saucer-shaped object some 4 meters in diameter. An opening appeared and two shadowy entities emerged; one of them approached and Dominguez asked what he wanted, but received no reply. The figures were about 1.60 meters tall and one leaned on the right side of the vehicle, leaving 3 scratch marks, similar to cat’s claws. Then they returned to the object, entered and the object ascended and disappeared from view, silently and at a prodigious speed.

Summary: A woman was driving home when her St Bernard dog became agitated and then hid under the dashboard, whimpering At this point she saw a beam of light on the road ahead, which she then saw came from a silver disc hovering 300m above the road. The thing appeared to be metallic with a domed section on top. No other details were visible. The brilliant blue white beam came from an opening in the bottom of the object. The road beyond the beam appeared distorted as if by a heat haze. Her car was travelling at over 80kph, and as it passed through the beam, it slowed to about 15kph, even though the witness pushed her foot hard on the accelerator. After passing through the beam, the car picked up speed and began to run smoothly again. The witness felt no heat and heard no sound. Her eyes were irritated for three days following the incident.

Summary: Police chief Lavern Janzen was driving near his base, when he saw a helmet shaped object, with its dome emitting a green-blue light, and with a central band of rotating red light. The thing was projecting a brilliant light beam from its underside and it passed right over Lavern’s car. He stopped and watched the thing hovering about the road about 20m away, wobbling slightly. After about 10-15 minutes it took off to the south at high speed. During the incident Lavern’s radio was filled with static and he smelt smoothing like burning rubber. When the thing took off Lavern felt a kind of lightness as if he were “going to float away.” :The radio worked perfectly next day.

Summary: K. Maslund, a radio and TV station technician, was at work when he heard the station’s transmission alarm system go off. Opening the door, he saw outside about 50 feet away an object 150 meters wide and 5-6 meters tall, hovering in the air. A “tunnel of light” extended from the object through which the witness saw 7 or 8 entities, 1.30 meters tall by 30-40 cm wide, floating towards him. They passed Maslund within inches and he found that he could not move; after 5-10 minutes, they left the station and re-entered the object through the tunnel, which then closed. The object then took off toward the north and the witness was again able to move. The entities were non-humanoid in shape, looking more like boxes than anything; he had the feeling the entities were inside the boxes and did not want to be recognized in their “true form.”

Summary: Mr Manselon (37), the owner of a gravel pit, saw a strange urn shaped object hovering about 1.5m above the ground in the pit. The thing was shaped like a vertical barrel, 2m high, 1.5m wide of a vivid but not dazzling colour. On the top were two antennae, one on each side, about 2m high, much brighter than the rest of the object. The edges of the thing were all sharp, except for the top, which was indistinct and hazy. The light, which was giving a slight but rapid pulsation, did not light up the surroundings and no structure could be seen. Manselon was unable to say how the object arrived, but as he tried to run off he found himself paralysed and unable to call out. Finally the object began to rise at about 4-5kph, and as it did so Manselon felt the paralysis leaving him. When the thing reached a height of 8-10m it tipped over on its side and vanished like a light being turned off. It made no sound and no traces were found. There were other witnesses.

Summary: The witness, at the time a retired army general, had become stranded along a dirt road after his car engine had quit. Moments later he saw a light rising above a nearby hill and felt a strong compulsion to walk towards it. After a short walk he came upon an object with translucent walls that gave off a dazzling light. Despite being translucent, the object appeared metallic. Part of the wall of the object flung itself back and an opening became visible. Three human like figures stood in the opening, one was a woman. The witness was then invited inside by one of the men that informed him that the other two were also humans. After a short ride in the object he was told that time, as we know it did not exist, he was eventually released back to his vehicle, which quickly started without any difficulty.

Summary: Mr Pesola and his girlfriend had just set out from Aanekoski to visit a friend in Pihtipudas when they noticed to the front and left of the car, a round disc, the apparent size of the moon. Near this disc they saw a cigar shaped phenomenon, five times as long as the diameter of the disc. These objects were turquoise green and very brilliant. As the objects approached the car, its engine began to misfire. The things then flew behind the car to the other side of the road and nearly landed, coming very close, at which the car engine misfired more. The objects followed the car for about 45km before disappearing round a curve behind a forest. Pesola heard a very high pitched sound while this phenomenon was present. When the couple arrived in pihtipudas , their friend reported that there had been a strange interference on TV and then asked them for no apparent reason if they had been followed by a flying saucer.

Summary: An army general was driving along the Grajau-Jacarepagua road back to the city centre from a meal in Barra, when his engine failed in a remote location. He was hoping for assistance, and when he saw a light about 30cm above the ground he hoped it was the light from a truck. He approached the light, which was about 200-300m away and came across another, dazzling, light, which lit up the area. It came from a translucent object 3m x3m, with part of the wall lifted up, revealing a cubical inner area, in which three beings were standing. These seemed to be human beings, and the general was invited on board, where there was some sort of screen showing aerial views of various cities. Despite the silence, and no sense of motion, it was clear that the object was moving. There were the usual pseud-scientific discussions, before the man was set down at about 0310. His car now worked.

Summary: Renato Bifarella, looking at the sky with binoculars on a night of the full moon, saw a “tortoise” hovering in the sky. It was green in color with pale brown spots, and had “legs” underneath. It was 5-6 meters wide and 4 meters high, with a brilliantly lit turret in which he could see figures moving. It approached him, and emitted a beam of pink light, which struck him and caused him to faint. When he regained consciousness, he could see that the UFO had led down 2 thick “ropes” 1 meter in thickness, upon which 2 men—one in red overalls and the other in white ones, with blue helmets—were climbing. The witness fainted again; when he came to, the object was gone.

Summary: Two unidentified girls were returning to their home in the Colegio Batista district when they saw a luminous object with a blue light hovering in the west. It had a ring of white lights around it and appeared to spin. At home later, one of the girls went to the window and saw a little man 10 meters away near the gate, standing erect and facing the window. He wore a kind of diving suit with a soft green luminosity, and a helmet, through which she could see a pair of glowing eyes, like a cat’s. She told her companion and a third girl; the second girl also saw the entity, which was then standing facing to the side; the third girl went to the aid of the first who was so frightened by the figure’s appearance that she went into shock. That same evening, the boyfriend of one of these girls was walking on the other side of the city when the streetlight went out; he saw a few meters away, the faintly illuminated silhouettes of two small figures standing on a precipice high above the street. Frightened, he hurried on; on passing through the area later, the lights were once again on and the figures nowhere in sight.

Summary: Dozens of residents (possibly 200 in all) of the Coenze neighborhood saw the descent of a “mystery airplane” on Maxambona Hill, falling in an unusual manner, slower than usual and appearing to be “controlled.” Among the many witnesses was an elderly man and his children, whom he told to go immediately to the landing site to assist possible casualties. As he watched hundreds of townspeople converge upon the hill, he saw “two beings come out of the craft,” which seemed to be slowly “slowly moving like a wing” which was shifting slightly. As the first of the people neared the site, the object and its occupants vanished abruptly from sight; when they arrived there was nothing to be found. No one heard any engine noise when the “plane” landed, and investigations at the site by members of the military police disclosed no wreckage.

Two occupants, 3 ft tall with long arms, were seen, in white “space suits” with large yellow-brown “helmets.” Many sets of marks were found by an investigator, with one set, as of landing leg imprints, found within a scorched circle.
