1957 - On or about this date a woman driving along a desolate road in Ridgefield, Connecticut encountered a five meter long cigar-shaped object close to the ground on the left side of the road. It had several portholes about half a meter in diameter that were lit by a yellow light. Shadows could be seen moving around behind the windows. It took off going straight up. (Source: Thomas M.

Wildman was driving along a road in Aston Clinton, England taking a new car to Swansea for delivery, when at 3:30 a.m. he encountered a 40-foot wide oval-shaped disc with black marks around the rim, 20-30 feet above the ground.

1974 - At around 9:00 p.m. four people riding in a car traveling on a highway north-northeast of Evansville, Indiana were levitated by a UFO and lost consciousness. When they recovered they had over two hours of missing time. One of the abductees recalled interacting with an occupant of the UFO, who looked to be human, and who somehow knew the names of the four of them. (Sources: Francis L. Ridge, Regional Encounters, p. 46; Larry Hatch, U computer database).

1974 - That same night David Swanner of Shores Community, Tennessee claims he was invited by two "men" to ride in a UFO. In a few moments after accepting their invitation they flew over San Francisco, then the Hawaiian Islands. His round trip excursion took only 45 minutes. The purpose of their presence, he was told, was to warn of the "possible destruction of Solar System by atomic bombs." The UFOnauts were between four and five feet tall, wore white coveralls, and had long, pointed chins, with tall foreheads and small eyes, ears, and noses. They claimed that their lifespan was between 125-175 years. Mr. Swanner was instructed to inform the public. He claims to possess proof, but it "cannot now be revealed." This was his third close encounter with the aliens. (Sources: Ted Bloecher, MUFON Symposium Proceedings 1975, p. 51 & 55; Stanley Ingram, Pulaski Citizen, October 30, 1974; David F.

1978 - At around two o'clock at night residents of Saline, Michigan saw a boomerang or triangular object hovering near their homes. Mr. & Mrs. Sibson as well as an Air Force mechanic reported their sightings to the Center for UFO Studies. According to them it made a slight humming noise, and was the size of three 747's with a "great intensity of light coming from the center fuselage area." It flew off toward the west slowly.

1979 - Over 50 UFOs surrounded the butane freighter "Tamames" in the Mediterranean Sea as it approached the Escombreras refinery in the Baleares Islands. The ship's log reports that clouds appeared at 3:00 a.m., and the ship's radar showed the presence of many huge aerial objects. The presence of yellow lights in the clouds continued for six hours. The radar of a second ship also reported the presence of the UFOs, but not ground radar. (Source: Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, March 1979, p. 15, citing Pueblo, February 9, 1979).

1979 - A dark, beehive-shaped UFO was encountered by a 53-year-old man named Hathaway at 9:00 p.m. while he was driving near Liverpool Creek, Queensland, Australia.

The witness experienced memory loss for some of the events surrounding his close encounter. (Source: Keith Basterfield, MUFON UFO Journal, December 1979).

1988 - In Oswestry, Shropshire, England a 45 foot in diameter yellow cloud of something that looked like fog was seen straddling a hedgerow around 8:00 a.m. It glowed brightly and made a noise like rushing air. A dog ran into it and disappeared for a time. The two adult witnesses, a man and a woman, reported feeling a tingling sensation and smelling a sulphur smell. The dog was later found unconscious, wet and hot; its eyes were red and it seemed close to death. It died a few weeks later.

1993 - A young boy went outside at 7:25 p.m. in Colebrook, New Hampshire and saw a disc-shaped object approaching from the northeast. He went and got his stepfather, and both of them witnessed two hovering discs. The discs appeared to be the size of a house, about four feet apart, and only 50 feet in altitude. They seemed to have a pink glow on the far sides. These lights blinked, and then both discs disappeared.

1993 - On the same night Mr. C. Wagh was at the Bridge of Earn in Central Scotland when he sighted six white lights in a straight line. He viewed then through binoculars as they hovered for the next 15 minutes. They seemed to be about 6 to 8 feet apart. They suddenly went out.

1995, La Canada, Avila, Spain - A 28-year-old security guard was fixing his guard dog's dinner at 9:55 p.m. The dog was tied to a heavy tonnage truck, and he suddenly began barking furiously and staring at the nearby railroad tracks. The man looked around but did not find anything unusual, so he fed his dog and went back to the guard shack. Fifteen seconds later the dog began barking again. When he stepped outside he was confronted by a bizarre looking, shiny white figure that floated quietly above the ground. The apparition was about 1.5 meters in length and floated horizontally just above the ground. At the same time the dog's food dish began to vibrate and "jump around." The figure was wearing what looked like a flowing tunic, and a conical hat concealed its facial features. It advanced slowly towards the witness.

The terrified man noticed the humanoid had long hair, resembling that of a woman's, and it carried that looked like a baton in one hand. The man fled from the area and didn't return until he had found some additional witnesses. When they returned to the site they found bizarre symbols that had been traced on the ground with a sharp tool. One of the symbols resembled a six-pointed star and others were "STN", "BEL" and the letter "U". Superstitious locals attributed these symbols to be "demonic" in nature. (Source: Albert S.
