Apr. 23, 1965 Rivesville (West Virginia). A woman observed an
0800 object land near her house while she was working in
her kitchen. It was shaped like a disk, showed port-
holes and a cylinder about 1 m high, with a sliding
door from which a small creature, about 1 m tall,
emerged and jumped to the ground. Its face was not
clearly visible but it had pointed ears, a sort of tail,
and was linked to the main object by a cable. It wore
white clothing, appeared to pick up something from
the ground, and reentered the cylinder, which then
slid up into the larger white disk. The outside rim
started spinning in a counterclockwise motion with
a soft whistling sound and the object rose straight
up, out of view. Estimated diameter of the disk: 7m.

Apr. 26, 1965 New London (Minnesota). Gary X., 9, saw an object
1700 which came down silently and hovered at ground
level 60 m away. A sort of periscope emerged from it,
and a strange noise (also heard by the boy's father)
was noted. After 1-2 min the "periscope" disappeared,
the object rose, and then dashed up at unbelievable
speed. (Personal)

May. 24, 1965 Paso de las Carretas (Argentina). Hunters saw through
1840 binoculars an object resembling an upside-down plate,
very luminous, with a red light on top, flying in circles
and landing on a hilltop. The Lujan police sent a
patrol, under Comm. Osvaldo Pagella, which found
a large, metallic object resting on the hill, but they
could not approach the object before it took off, be-
cause of the difficult terrain. (Personal)

0500 heard a strange noise and saw an egg-shaped object
30 m away in a lavender field. The craft was set on a
central pivot with six legs, was about 5 m long, and
had a door showing two seats back to back. Near it
were two dwarfs the size of 8-year-old children, with
heads, normal human eyes, fine hands with five
fingers, and no hair. They seemed surprised when the
witness came near, and stopped their examination of
a plant to aim a small device at him, causing inhibi-
tion of movement. They spoke among themselves in
shrill sounds similar to a gargle. The craft took off
and "vanished." Traces. (FSR 65, 5; Magonia)

bang. (FSR 66, 2)
677
Aug. 13, 1965 Baden (Pennsylvania). A 37-year-old civilian had just
put his car in the garage when he saw an object about
100 m in diameter, shaped like a disk, which flew in
front of the moon in a northerly direction at about
80 km/h. It was surrounded with orange lights that
weakened as a blue source came on, very intense for
about 3 sec then all lights disappeared as the object
was about 700 m away. This was followed by a sort
of "shock-wave" effect, and tree leaves were shaken.
The witness entered his house and called the Air
Force. Twenty minutes later his vision became hazy
and his eyes were painful. He gradually lost vision in
both eyes, and his entire body was "sunburned." Med-
ical examination compared the symptoms to ultra-
violet exposure. His vision came back gradually over
a period of several days. (Atic)

"drawn by a strange feeling." Four other persons also
saw the object, from which a dwarfish creature, 85 cm
tall, emerged. The entity had a head double the size of
a normal human head, and made gestures that were
not understood. He reentered the machine, which
became illuminated and took off, first vertically, then
toward the west. (Personal)

Sep. 03, 1965 Damon (Texas). Two Angleton sheriffs, McCoy and
evening Robert Goode saw from their car a huge object 70 m
long, 15 m high, with a bright, violet light at one end
and a pale-blue light at the other. They stopped to
watch it and saw the craft fly within 30 m, casting a
huge shadow when it intercepted the moonlight.
They felt a heat wave and drove away in fear, but
returned to the site a second time, only to turn
around when they found the object was still there.
Goode had been bitten by an animal before the sight-
ing, and his left index finger swelled and bled freely.
After exposure to the light from the object, the pain
was gone, and the wound cured unnaturally. Later
that evening, two men found him at a restaurant and
described the object in detail, adding he should keep
future encounters to himself. (NICAP Aug.,65)

Dec. 16, 1965 Sauce Viejo (Argentina). A railroad worker, Cesar T.
Gallardo, was surprised when his carbide lamp and
his radio stopped working. He saw strange lights out-
side the sleeping coach where he was reading, and a
luminous being whose legs were clad in shiny dark
cloth came in, tore up his newspaper, poured the con-
tents of an oil can into a small bottle and went away,
leaving the witness amazed. Other people saw "a
luminous man" walking along the tracks. Police re-
port. (FSR 66, 1)

Jan. 07, 1966 Wilmer (Alabama). A civilian had to stop his car
15l7 when an object he first thought was a helicopter
landed on the road about 5 km southwest of George-
town. The craft was about 8 m in diameter, supported
a cone with a flashing green light, made a loud
whirring sound. It appeared to hover, then left at high
speed. The witness could then restart his engine,
which had died during the close approach. Sulphur or
a "rotten egg" smell was noted. (Atic)

flew to the southwest on a fast, oblique course. Flat-
tened reeds were found in several places. (FSR 66,2;
Magonia)

the road. The object was the size of a truck and cast
an intense yellow-orange light on the ground. The
witnesses turned around and drove back to Rexburg.

Feb. 26, 1966 8 km east of Farmington when a flying oval object,
the size of a car, came within 3 m of him, then circled
twice and left toward the north. It emitted a bright
red glow, supported a sort of dome with a green light
on top, produced radio interference, and made a
strange "signallike noise." (Atic)

Mar. 17, 1966 Milan (Michigan). A police officer observed an object
0000 in the southwest. He thought it was a plane about to
crash, although no sound was audible. He tried to
contact the police headquarters, but his radio trans-
mitter did not work properly. The object, which now
colored lights spinning at the periphery, and a diam-
eter of 16 m, came within 25 m of the patrol car,
following it for 1 km, then flew off toward the north-
west. The witness had been a policeman for 10 years,
and had never seen anything like that object. (Atic)

through a wooded area when they saw a bright object
that they thought was a balloon covered with fluores-
cent paint but it became so intensely bright that they
could not look directly at it. As they walked closer, it
exploded, leaving no trace. (Atic)
734
Mar. 23, 1966 Temple (Oklahoma). An electronics instructor, who
0505 was driving to work at a local Air Force Base, observed
an object blocking the road. It was shaped like an air-
plane fuselage, 25 m long, with a "bubble" on top
resembling the canopy on a B-26, rested on legs, and
had very bright aft and forward lights. There was a
door and a short stairway to the side of the object,
and a man in coveralls appeared to be examining the
craft which bore the identification "TL 4768" (see
case 417). When the witness approached, the "pilot"
went back inside, a sound resembling that of a high-
speed drill was heard, and the object rose. No engine
was observed. The witness was familiar with all con-
ventional military aircraft. (Atic; Magonia)
735
Mar. 24, 1966 Sheboygan (Wisconsin). Two women saw a glowing
2215 object on the road. As they came near it, they found
that it hovered and showed two intense white lights,

shaped, and they lost sight of it when they drove
away. They saw it again later, flying low on a south-
north trajectory. (Atic)
736

738
Mar. 26, 1966 Texahoma (Oklahoma). Two civilian women were
2400 driving back from Amarillo when they saw an object
aproaching from the north. The engine died and the
headlights failed. The object flew over the car and
hovered 400 m away. After 10 min, the witnesses were
able to start their car and leave. They reported the
object had a wafflelike surface and glowed with an
intense red light. (Atic)
739
Mar. 28, 1966 Fayetteville (Tennessee). A man driving at a speed
2000 of about 100 km/h suddenly encountered a large
lighted object 1 m above the road on a hilltop. It flew

long, dark gray, and showed about 30 lights along its
periphery. (Atic)
