•
Argentina, Tres Lomas: Two hunters saw a disk-shaped object
resting on the ground 150 m away. It looked like an
aluminium craft about 2. 5 m high, with a dome on top. Grass
flattened.
• Australia, Goolwa to Port Elliot: Barry Neale was driving
home when he saw on the ground a glowing, reddish-orange
object with a row of portholes. It illuminated the trees,
was about 5 m wide. He got within 300 m of it, and drove
around the wooded area in time to see it take off. No
radioactivity was found at the spot.
• Australia, Prince of Wales Island: Hunters reported the
landing of a red object on the island. Other hunters saw a
similar object near Karumba Lodge.
• Australia, Pumong: Near Claypans, 150 km northeast of
Adelaide, Carl Towill, postmaster, and Percy Briggs, mail
carrier, saw a dome-shaped object take off from a field 400
m away. It resembled a huge, brilliant circus tent, studded
with lights that kept changing from red to blue. They
approached within 200 m, then saw it rise, hover, and shoot
off at immense speed toward the south. They had observed it
for 10 min. Mr. Briggs was questioned by investigators from
Woomera Rocket range.
• Canada, Fort William: On the Trans-Canada Highway west of
this town, four hunters (Douglas Robinson, Ray Disguiseppe,
Victor Arnone and John Defilippo, of Port-Arthur) saw an
oval, luminous object follow their car about 13 m above
them. The object was spinning, stopped when they did, was
white in color and remained with them for nearly 50 km.
• Canada, Glenora: Approximate date. Miss G. Wilson, 14, was
out riding a horse when a luminous object dived toward her,
and she rushed home in fear. Her father came out and saw the
object, which he described as orange and making a "painful"
sound.
• Canada, Grassy Plains: Alex Gillis and Jerry Monkman saw
from a hilltop an egg-shaped object in the middle of the
road. It was about 5 m long, the top part emitting a bright
light. The object went away silently. Fearing ridicule, the
witnesses reported the incident one month later.
• Denmark, Svendborg: Between Svendborg and Nyborg, Ove
Christensen, coming home after work on his bicycle, was
stopped on the road by a disk-shaped object spinning at
ground level. After five minutes it began chasing him,
flying 6 m above him for 5 m. The object was luminous and
seemed made of glass.
• England, Stratford-on-Avon : Leonard Hewins, of Tredington,
saw a fiery, round object come down from the east and land
100 m away. While a blue haze formed, three figures emerged
from the object and seemed to sit down with clumsy
movements. The witness was unable to move until the craft
and its occupants took off swiftly, leaving a trail of
stars.
• Germany, Werdehl-Eveking: Near Hagen, Lutz Holtmann went
toward a bright object in a forest, and fainted when he got
close to it. When he regained consciousness, he saw it take
off silently and vertically. It was round, had a tripod
landing gear, two rows of bright openings, and was about 30
m in diameter.
• New Zealand, Blenheim: Mrs. Moreland saw a disk- shaped
object as she was milking cows. It was about 10 m diameter,
had two intense, green lights and two rows of jets around
the rim, emitting orange flames. Inside a glass dome on top
were two men dressed in aluminium-like suits. The craft did
not land, but took off at great speed with a high-pitched
sound. Heat sensation.
• New Guinea, Boianai: Many witnesses, among them Fr. W. B.
Gill, head of a local mission, saw an orange object that
hovered in mid-air. Four figures were visible on its "deck"
and a beam of blue light was emitted upward from it. The
object did not come to ground level, but its position above
the ocean was almost on a level with the observers standing
on the hill.
• New Guinea, Papua: Rev. W. B. Gill and his parishioners at
Boianai mission are astounded when a flat saucer hovers
overhead and four aliens wave to them.
• Poland, Kolobreg: On the Polish coast, not far from
Kolobreg, soldiers saw the sea become turbulent as a
triangular object, 4 m in size, emerged, circled the
barracks, and flew away at high speed.
• South Africa, The Willows: A civilian woman observed a
saucer-shaped object hovering 5 m above ground. It was
bathed in an orange glow, similar to that of a dying fire.
It flew away horizontally and was lost to sight behind a
hill.
• Spain, Brion: A 60-year-old farmer saw an egg-shaped
object come down at high speed and land in a pasture near a
river. Then it took off vertically and flew away toward
Santiago. Traces. Engine noise, not similar to helicopter.
• Tierra del Fuego, Sombrero: Mr. Uribe, a petroleum
engineer, and two other witnesses had to stop when they ran
out of fuel; they observed a light swinging like a pendulum,
coming close to the ground. It appeared as a large,
vertical, egg-shaped object which made a "whooshing" sound.
Closest approach was 120 m. Estimated height: 2 m; width, 1.
5 m. When Uribe aimed a rifle at the object, it went out of
sight within seconds.
• USA, Alaska, Umiat: 350 km east of Umiat, trappers saw a
red, disk-shaped object less than 4 km away, going up and
down, sometimes nearly touching the ground. It circled and
went away.
• USA, California, Oakdale: Kenneth Lindsley and several
other witnesses saw a bright, orange object at ground level.
It was bowl-shaped, as wide as the road, and shadows that
appeared to be moving could be seen.
• USA, Iowa, Cedar City: Private Gerry Irwin stopped his car
to investigate what he thought was a crashing plane. He was
later found unconscious. Sequels of the incident (fainting,
amnesia and his return to the site in a trancelike state)
are sometimes quoted as evidence of psychological experience
correlated with the observation of the luminous object.
Irwin deserted, and his subsequent whereabouts are
unknown.
• USA, Kentucky, Wallingford: A bluish, disk-shaped object
was observed at ground level by a mail carrier. It suddenly
went away horizonally, leaving a stained ring on the
ground.
• USA, Texas, Freeport: A bright, flying object passed low
over a car, whose engine stalled, and landed in a wooded
area. Six witnesses in two separate groups observed the
object, and the police were called. The dense underbrush
prevented investigation of the site.
