1925 - A married couple, Mr. & Mrs. Slagle, witnessed a 200 foot long "comet" with illuminated windows on side make a hissing sound as it flew over Akron, Ohio at 9:45 p.m. It then shot up vertically into the sky at an incredible speed.

1934 - On a clear evening a perfectly circular, vividly white disc-shaped object hovered directly over a French tourist in the New Forest, north-northeast of Ringwood, Dorset, England at 8:30 p.m. A blue halo formed around the object for one minute, and then the UFO changed color from white to yellow to orange to red, whereupon it took off at high speed with a rushing sound.

1947 - At 10:30 a.m. in Syracuse, New York a 13-year-old boy saw a long, featureless cigar-shaped object hovering over an orchard only 100 meters away. At 1:00 p.m. in Wilkesboro, North Carolina a buzzing noise was heard and then a disc shot through the sky fast at an altitude of 1500 meters. At 7:20 p.m. a small disc flew over a farm south of Idaho Falls, Idaho flying on an irregular course, low and slow. It tilted, then flew away to the southwest making an odd sound.

1951 - At the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico on this morning an oval-shaped object flying near a B-29 was viewed from the ground through a telescope during a rocket launch, and then tracked on airborne radar by two jets. The radar confirmed the visual sighting of a fast-moving UFO. Motion picture footage was allegedly obtained, but subsequently lost. (Sources: Donald Keyhoe, True Magazine, December 1952; Donald E.

1952 - At 7:40 p.m. a group of three engineers in Hillandale, Alabama watched a round glowing object descend to the north, then make an instant reversal in direction and head south. At 8:00 p.m. a famous sighting occurred over Chesapeake Bay near Norfolk, Virginia by two pilots named Nash and Fortenberry. The men were flying a DC-4 aircraft for Pan American Airways when they sighted six luminous reddish-orange disc-shaped objects that were joined by two brighter discs. They were each estimated to be 100 feet in diameter, and they suddenly flipped on edge, revealing a flat, coin-like shape. They made a sharp turn, blinked off and on in unison, and then flew off in formation as the disappeared in the distance. (Sources: (1) Loren E.

1959 - A light followed a Brazilian Air Force B-26 bomber plane for one hour as it flew from Pampulha to Belo Horizonte, Brazil. All the time it was changing colors.

1963 - A 200-foot-long torpedo-shaped craft flew over Parkstone, Dorset, England at 300 feet. It made a whistling sound and shot off to the west at a tremendous speed. The sighting lasted three minutes. (Sources: Orbit, 1963, Volume 4, p. 17; Ray Palmer, Flying Saucers magazine, August 1964, p. 9).

1972 - A silent UFO hovered over a house for 15 minutes in Corvallis, Oregon. It was watched by three women in their twenties. It shot straight up at terrific speed when it left. (Source: Glenn McWane, The New UFO Sightings, p. 44).

2000 - On this night a woman had just returned to her house in Rennes, France when she saw a disc-shaped object surrounded by bright lights descend overhead and land in her garden. Two figures came out of the object. They had oval-shaped heads, bulging eyes, and large "cauliflower-like" ears that stuck out the side of their heads. The humanoids were wearing red colored combination suits. They spoke to the witness and she fell to the ground and went into a deep sleep. When she awoke the beings and the object were gone.
