The witness, who was part of a specialized military unit at the time was told that he and several other soldiers were to guard the home of the current president, due to supposedly terrorist threats and other strange incidents in the area. One night on guard duty he was trying to raise the dispatcher but his radio would not work, then he noticed a weird yellowish-green light behind him, turning around he was confronted by a strange creature (not described) that was floating in midair. There was an explosion and apparently he lost consciousness. He was told he had been missing for 5 hours and five rounds of his M-16 were unaccounted for. There are hints of a possible abduction.

Summary: Geraldo Da Costa was riding home on his horse when an oval shaped object passed over him less than ten feet above the ground. The craft had many colored lights and gave off potent heat wave. He continued riding and, about 50 yards beyond; he came upon the object on the ground. Two little men were standing near it. These had large eyes, and long hair. One asked him to help them, and then one reached up and touched his shoulder. Suddenly, Geraldo found himself floating down to the ground, with the frightened horse running off. He remembered yelling for help, but then blacked out. The next day he was found lying in a nearby bamboo grove. He had a red, six inch scar on the inside of one arm and five tiny puncture wounds, 2 on each side of his chest and waist and one on his left shoulder. The holes had silver edging around them, which gradually disappeared as the injuries healed. He could barely speak after the encounter and lost his vigorous energy.

Summary: The Sites family had been disturbed by something that had broken into their barn and crushed several of their rabbits to death. The predator returned that night, and the Sites saw it clearly standing in their well-lit yard. “It was big and hairy,” Mrs. Sites reported. “It was brown. It looked like a human with a beard and moustache. It had no neck; it looked like its head was just sitting on its shoulders. It had big red glowing eyes.” When the Sites dog attacked it, the creature effortlessly swatted it away—sending it flying about 20 ft. On subsequent nights, the Sites saw the creature several more times.

Time: 3:55 AM.
Summary: Police took an emergency telephone call. The caller said that some strange object was over the forest near the small lake. Two policemen were directed to the scene. Arriving, they proceeded along the lake road and noticed a “large bright red light” across on the eastern shore. They stopped, exited their vehicle and observed a “bell tent” shaped thing, about 300 yds distant. This object continuously pulsated from dull to very bright red for the next 2 to 3 minutes. The UFO seemed to be hovering silently. Then, as they watched apprehensively, the object appeared to “dissolve on the spot”. As the thing was no longer visible, the officers decided somewhat reluctantly to go across the lake and investigate the spot. As they were doing this, one of them looked up and briefly saw a shape of a thin, large, white crescent hanging in the sky. This “apparition” also dissolved on the spot. Reaching the location of ground zero, as best they could tell, they found nothing at all, except a strong smell of burning. No cause could be determined. A report was immediately made to the local UFO investigator [The Essex Hotline], and the investigator [Barry King] came out the next day. [actually King interviewed the officer that very night]. In daylight, one large bush was found to have damage–flattened in the center and slightly burned. The gorse bush appeared to have had a very heavy weight set onto its top center, the result of which was to break almost all the limbs including snapping off the central branch. The pattern of breakage was to displace the branches into an outwardly radiating splay. No radiation nor magnetic anomalies were found.

Summary: A truck driver had made a rest stop at a truck stop on the highway when suddenly a yellow light illuminated the cabin. The light originated from a gray metallic oval shaped object that was hovering near the witness truck close to the ground. It had a rotating ring around its middle and two circular openings, one on the top and the other on its bottom. A figure wearing a dark gray coverall and a helmet could be seen inside one of the openings; it seemed to be controlling and directing the yellow beam of light. He then made some hand gestures towards the witness as if greeting him. A flattened area was found on the grassy field.

Summary: A man from Idaho claimed he had an encounter with a UFO in 1977. The strange object reportedly hovered above a home nearby and traveled towards him. The witness was driving his truck to his home late at night on May 5, 1977. 
When he pulled into his driveway, the witness spotted a UFO hovering just over a neighbor’s roof. As he watched the strange aerial thing, he seemed to hear a voice from a male voice saying ‘This is not of this world.’ The witness stopped the truck, got out from it, and watched the bizarre object for 20 to 30 minutes. Initially, the witness can’t see any detail of the unidentified flying object. It was when the unknown thing passed nearer to him when he saw pulsating, colored lights on the side of the craft. The witness did not hear any noise or emission from the craft. He described the lights as dazzling but didn’t illuminate the ground or adjacent buildings. The disc was still in the sky over roofs when the witness got tired and went inside.

Summary: Two men, were parked in a marshy, densely wooded area of the Forest (a park) near Cabin Hill, and were walking their dog in a light rain when they heard a rustling sound in the bushes. They then observed a huge figure, about 8-foot tall and four foot wide, cross their path about 25 feet away and disappear again into the woods. It was a dark blue color, but brighter that its surroundings. No distinct arms or legs were discerned. A UFO landing had been reported in the area a few days earlier—the reason for the investigator being at the site at the time he encountered the witnesses.

Summary: Mrs. Nancy Allocco and her two children, Lee, age twelve and Nell, age fourteen, observed a large glowing object in the sky. The witnesses were traveling in a car when they first saw the object. When the three witnesses reached their driveway, they again could observe the moon-shaped, orange-white light. The three observers sat in the car after parking in the driveway and watched the glowing sphere. As they watched the light suddenly began to move away and then just as suddenly, it disappeared. The Allocco home in Harding Township is approximately ten miles from the Livingston Shopping Mall where Leslie Hendricks had observed the same or similar object.

Summary: Leslie Hendricks while walking out of the Livingston Shopping Mall observed a large glowing sphere high up in the southwestern sky. The sphere was about the size and color of a harvest moon. It appeared to be hovering at an altitude higher than that of an ordinary commercial aircraft. Leslie watched the glowing ball for approximately fifteen seconds. The intensity of light of the object kept changing from bright to dim and back to bright. After about fifteen seconds the object suddenly moved to the northeast at a high rate of speed and disappeared. It should be noted that the sky was completely overcast and that neither the moon nor any stars were visible.

3 1/2 year old Maria do Socorro, accompanying her grandmother to do the laundry, vanished suddenly and was gone for 22 hours, when she unexpectedly turned up at the doorway to her family’s garden. She said she had seen a beautiful woman with a white scarf on her head, and was irresistibly attracted to a strong beam of light, which she ran behind. The woman spoke to the child but she “did not open her mouth to talk.” Friends and neighbors spent the entire day searching the area where she had last been seen, without finding a trace. The child mysteriously turned up at the family’s home. It was assumed by all involved that the phenomenon was of an apparently extraterrestrial intervention. No object was seen.

Twin sisters had gone into Middle Cliff field, at St. Brides, not farm from their home at Ripperston Farm, to play games. It was just after 1500 when they saw a silver suited figure walking about 60 to 70 feet away; the figure, walking away from the children, went up to a hedge, seemed to walk through the barbed-wire fence adjacent to it, and then disappeared. On the other side of the field a silvery white “plate like object,” with a red light, was seen to land; a ramp like stairway came out and a red “box” was ejected down the stairway to the ground. The mission completed, the stairs were retracted, and a door in the object shut and the object took off. They ran home for their mother, but there was no sign of the object or figure in the field, although an object was again seen flying seaward. Large footprints were found in the grass at the landing site.

Two ten-year old girls heard a strange humming sound while playing in a field near their house; appearing to come from a nearby woods, they approached and saw an object on or near the ground, of a cylindrical shape, surmounted by a small dome with a steady red light. The object was perhaps 30 feet long and of a metallic color; a red band encircled the lower section. The girls, approximately 300 yards away, believed the object was two feet above the ground—the same height as a fence situated between them and the object. They could see no landing gear. To the right of the object was a very tall thin “man,” partially hidden by bushes in between; at least six-foot tall, his arms were disproportionately short, and he was dressed all in silver. When he started to move toward them, the girls became frightened and fled; at a safer distance they turned and saw the man had disappeared; the object then began to ascend, moving off in three jerky “stepped up” maneuvers and then ascending vertically at terrific speed. They hurried home and told their parents, who said they had heard the humming sound. The police were notified, and a circular area of about 100 yards of minor damage, including singed trees and underbrush, was found at the site.

I woke up walking back from somewhere in the woods surrounding our house. In the morning I somewhat remembered the experience and dismissed it as a dream. I got up that morning feeling well rested yet a little bit off. Anyway, I as getting ready for school when I overheard my father telling my mom about the very same dream I had. And when he finished telling her,she gasped and proclaimed too have had the same dream. A couple of days later I noticed a scar on my right side with a black sliver type object in it.Which vanished sometime in my early forties about ten years ago,yet the scar remains. I also woke up many times outside the house with no recollection of how I got there. This also stopped happening when the black sliver vanished. I have nothing to gain from my story and only wished I would have shared it while my parents were around because I know it bothered them both until the day of their passing.

Summary: Three 4-year old boys, Lenny Young, Pat Morrison, and George Ferrera, were out late playing in a field near Suisan Bay, off Willow Pass Road. They saw a fixed group of red lights in the sky, being circled by a solitary blue light; the lights flew rapidly off into the distance and then returned, landing nearby. They described it as a 90-foot saucer shaped object, with a row of square or rectangular “windows” along the side; one of these was larger than the others. Red lights blinked on and off around the perimeter. The object was less than 300 feet from them and in the darkness in between, at a distance of from 50 and 150 feet, they saw three figures moving toward them. The forms were black “like smoke,” up to six-foot tall, and moved as thought they were “linked together.” Ferrera said they had a “kind of human shape but no eyes; they walked like robots.” Yong said, “It was like they had no clothes on…they had no faces…I know what people look like walking in the dark. They were not people. They were something else.” Morrison said, ” They were black; they looked like they were wearing long skirts over their heads.” The three boys turned and ran, stopping at the street to look back; they saw the figures “slowly fade from view.” When they reported the incident to the police, Morrison was crying with fright. No traces were found at the site.

Summary: Dog and horse raise alert to bright object near ground. The 16-year-old looked out his window and saw 4 bright lights in a row to the NW. The lights slowly increased in brilliance, and then began to wane until attaining an orange-red hue before extinguishing. They were estimated to be 90 meters (295 feet) away to the NW and on or near the ground. Alerted by her son, the mother looked out the front door and saw the paddock across the road was brightly illuminated by a monochromatic white light source. She went outdoors and saw a bright rectangular object that appeared to have four square windows along its side. The structure appeared to move slowly over and around the crest of a hill. The event ended with both mother and son seeing a glow that eventually faded. Both witnesses reported the lights were so bright that they had after-image effects. There is a reference to “noise” without further explanation [I assume this means sound associated with the object–jw]. No EM effects were reported. Possible traces were found on the ground.

A green beam of light encircled the object’s edge and there were also some portholes on the bottom section. As the object hovered at rooftop level a figure came out of it and began walking in midair. The being was short with an oval shaped face, long brownish hair; slanted eyebrows and normal eyes. It wore a silvery one-piece suit. The entity walked around in midair for a few moments then walked back into the object, which then took off at high speed. (Same witness as to the earlier case.)
