375 Sep. 16, 1955 Boisseuges (France). A young shepherd heard a 1800 whistling sound as a dark mass appeared to fall from the sky and a rush of air swept him from his feet. The object looked like a machine with an opening where a stairway became visible. Two occupants were seen. One was observed to have a reddish face, a bald head and very fine teeth. The craft was round, about 3.5 m diameter, 2 m high, lighted with neon-like light. The occupants gathered some plants and flew away to the northwest. (Personal) 376 Sep. 17, 1955 Bush Pine (New York). Mr. and Mrs. Bordes, of New night York City, were fishing when they heard a loud splash and a "gurgling sound," saw a pink, iridescent, mush- room-shaped object rise about 70 cm above the water, and sink into the reservoir. Later, they saw the object again, about 5 m long and surrounded with turbu- lence. It reversed direction several times without turn- ing around and finally flew away very fast. (Constance 226; FSR 55,5) 377 Oct. 28, 1955 Galloway (England). A disk with a row of blue lights on the periphery slowly maneuvered above a car on a deserted road. (Evidence 135, 146) 378 Nov. 02, 1955 Williston (Florida). Deputy-sheriff A. H. Perkins, C. F. Bell, and a dozen other witnesses saw six bell- shaped objects moving by successive leaps. One came close to a patrol car; the men inside felt that their arms and legs "went dead" and that their clothes were burning them. (Evidence 64) 379 Apr. 06, 1956 McKinney (Texas). Two men saw a silvery, balloon- shaped craft about 2 m in diameter land in a field 100 m away from them, about 8 km east of McKinney. They stopped their car to investigate, but the object took off at fantastic speed. (Atic) 380 Apr. 08, 1956 Elboeuf (France). Near Exauroux, two brothers, 18 2345 and 20, saw a red ball to their left coming down and hovering at tree height. It then left at fantastic speed. Three additional witnesses reported it independently. The object was a disk about 7.5 m in diameter, with a red dome, and rotating fins under it. It emitted a yellow-orange glow. (Personal) 381 Apr. 16, 1956 Henderson (North Carolina). On Route 1, just be- 0500 fore dawn, two government employees saw for a few seconds a large, top-shaped object passing over their car. It was as large as the road and made no sound. (Atic) 382 May. 09, 1956 Jacksonville (Florida). Two girls, Joan Frost and 2300 Gertie Wynn, while waiting for a bus, saw two pulsating lights flying horizontally and disappearing. 15 min later the lights were seen again, stopping at the zenith, merging, and diving to 50 m altitude. As the bus arrived, it seemed that the objects had sepa- rated and were about to abduct the witnesses, and they ran to the vehicle in terror. (APRO Mar., 59) 383 Jun. 06, 1956 Banning (California). An object hovered about 30 m 0430 above and 100 m away from the witness's car. Showing something like a dome on top, it crossed the road slowly, turned, and crossed the road again behind the car, then vanished suddenly. (Atic) 384 Jul. 20, 1956 Panorama City (California). Three witnesses inde- pendently claimed that they observed a huge, ball- shaped object from which emerged three beings. They were nearly 2 m tall, had long, blond hair, and wore tight, green suits. (Hanlon; Humanoids 64) 385 Sep., 1956 Cabo Frio (Brazil). O. Guarichi was walking on the 2030 beach with his dogs when he saw an object come from the sea and land. Two men, 1.80 m tall, wearing metallic-looking uniforms, emerged. One of them picked up objects from the beach. There was an ex- change of gestures with the witness. One of the dogs turned away when the witness approached the craft, which was 20 m wide 3 m high and showed flashing lights as it left. (Nachrichten Mar., 61) 386 Jan. 15, 1957 Balfour (New Zealand). William West and Wallace early Liddell saw an object similar to a shooting star coming close to them appearing then as an oval, fluorescent craft, about 40 m in diameter, which almost touched the grass. They rushed to catch it, but it jumped away, turning into a bluish-white sphere with a dark red center. Each time they tried to reach it, the craft jumped farther away. It cleared a high fence and slowly vanished. The Invercargill Weather Bureau had no explanation. (107) 387 Feb. 09, 1957 Georgetown (Connecticut). Approximate date. Ina 2200 Salter was driving on Route 53 in a desolate area when she encountered a cigar-shaped objert about 5 m long, showing several portholes, which was hovering close to the ground to the left of the road. The portholes, about 50 cm in diameter, were illuminated with a yellowish light, and there were shadows moving be- hind. As she passed the object, it took off straight up, hovered for a few seconds, then rose out of sight (APRO Mar., 62) 388 Mar. 08, 1957 Baudette (Minnesota). A pilot saw a circular object night flying against the wind. It was luminous, about 5.5 m in diameter, and flew so low that it appeared to suck up the snow. (Keyhoe S) 389 Apr. 14, 1957 Vins-sur-Caramy (France). At an intersection, two 1500 women, Mrs. Garcin and Mrs. Rami, suddenly heard a noise and saw behind them a top-shaped object, 1 m high and 1 m wide, nearly touching the ground. It made a sudden jump and landed again: There were a number of antennalike projections on top of it. The noise did not come from the object, but from a metallic road sign vibrating in its vicinity. (M 207; Challenge 14) 390 Apr. 19, 1957 Pacific Ocean, near Japan. Japanese fishermen aboard 1152 the "Kitsukawara Maru" saw two metal disks come into the sky. This was followed by violent turbulence. (Round-up 147) 391 Apr. 22, 1957 Palalda (France). Mr. and Mrs. Firmin Bason heard 1300 an unusual noise and saw a whirlwind of flames 10 or 15 m above ground, coming down toward the vine- yard. It was red and blue, spinning wildly, flying slowly. It hovered for 5 min over plants which moved violently, then it flew south with a deafening roar, hovered again and departed to the southwest. Diam- eter at the top: about 5 m. (Ouranos 21) 392 May., 1957 Milford (Pennsylvania). Frances Stichler, who lived on a farm, was working in her barn when she heard a whirring sound and saw a bowl-shaped object, 7 m in diameter, with a rim over 1 m wide about 5 m above ground. It stopped with one side tilted toward her. A man dressed in a loose, shiny, gray suit, wearing a tight-fitting helmet, was facing her from inside the object. He seemed of average height had deep-set eyes, tanned skin, and a long face with a "quizzical" expression. Almost immediately the object left toward the southeast. (108; Humanoids 57) 393 May. 01, 1957 Pajasblancas Airport (Argentina). When his motor- 0700 cycle suddenly failed, the driver observed a disk, 2O m in diameter and 5 m thick, hovering about 15 m above ground. He hid in a ditch and saw the craft come down, making a sound similar to air escaping from a valve. A sort of lift descended from its base almost to the ground. In it was a man of average height, who made friendly gestures to the witness. He was dressed in a plastic diving suit. The witness entered the ma- chine and saw inside several people seated before instrument panels, lighted by an extraordinary light. He was then escorted out, and the disk rose to the northwest. During the next hour, six sightings were made along the same course by independent witnesses. (Humanoids 35; FSR 65, 1; FSR 65, 4) 394 May. 10, 1957 Beaucourt-sur-Ancre (France). A Hungarian refugee, 2250 Michel Fekete, was riding his bicycle when he saw an object hovering 30 cm above ground and four little men nearby. The police found lavalike fragments at the site. Six other witnesses vouch for the sighting including Messrs. Iklef and Lepot and their wives. The craft was luminous, pulsating between red and white (remaining red longer). When white, it was more blinding than a powerful searchlight. It was 50 m away from the group of witnesses. Occupants were about 1.30 m tall with a beige-gray body, an ab- normally large black head, and a waddling gait. The object flew away when a car came into view. (109; M 211) 395 Jun. 5, 1957 Uriman (Venezuela). Undocumented report of a landing and of "bellicose dwarfs." (Quincy) 396 Jul. 25, 1957 Sao Sebastiao (Brazil). Mr. Joao Guimaraes, who is 1910 a professor at the Catholic Faculty of Law in Santos, was sitting near the shore when he saw a hat-shaped, luminous craft approach from the sea and land near him. From it came a metallic stairway. Two normal men with long, fair hair hanging to their shoulders, a youthful appearance and wearing one-piece suits, came down, gave no verbal answers to his questions, but invited him "telepathically" to come aboard the craft. Inside the illuminated compartment, he sat on a circular seat with the crew. The machine rose for a short flight. On his return, Guimaraes found that his watch no longer worked. (Humanoids 36; FSR 57, 6 397 Jul. 30, 1957 Galt, Ontario (Canada). Jack Stephenson was walk- ing about 7 km from Galt when he saw a flash in the sky. A circular object making a whirring sound came down and landed with a throw of flames. It took off again 30 min later,leaving the ground blackened and branches broken. The craft had a stationary dome, but the periphery was spinning. (Round-up 188) 398 Aug. 20, 1957 Quilino (Argentina). An Air Force man inside a tent heard a loud, shrill sound and saw a disk that came down as grass and plants fluttered wildly under it. He found himself unable to draw his gun, which "seemed to be glued in its holster." A voice came from the craft, telling him in Spanish that UFO's had a base in the Salta area and would soon show themselves to warn all people about the dangers of a nuclear catastrophe. (Humanoids 36) 399 Aug. 22, 1957 Cecil Naval Air Station (Florida). A black, bell- 1540 shaped object bearing two bright, white lights at the top and maeasuring 15 m in diameter was chased by a civilian in a car until the engine stalled. The object was then hovering 3 m away. The underside of the machine resembled a disk with fins. When a jet air- craft took off from the airfield, the object went out of sight almost instantaneously. The car battery was found completely dead. There was no helicopter in the area, although the two witnesses compared the noise made by the object to that of a helicopter. (Atic) 400 Sep., 1957 Campinas (Brazil). A man suddenly fell, as if para- lyzed, and his two companions then observed an ob- ject shaped like a disk with a dome on top and another dome under it, 50 m away. A door opened and three men, 1.70 m tall, wearing close-fitting, iridescent clothing, and who walked as if on skis, appeared to make a check of the craft and the surroundings. They gathered samples in a large box. The witnesses saw small portholes and a tripod landing gear. The craft took off after 20 min. (Nachrichten Jul., 60) 401 Sep. 10, 1957 Ubatuba (Brazil). Approximate date. Anonymous witnesses saw a disk dive down and explode, shower- ing the area with flaming fragments. Some samples were gathered, sent to a Brazilian newsman, analyzed by friends of Dr. Fontes, of Rio, and were found to consist of surprisingly pure magnesium. (Lor.l 90; 110) 402 Sep. 16, 1957 Smithfield (Australia). Les McDonald, 17, and 930 Gladys Smith, 14, saw a red light changing to green, spreading around them like a mist and covering an area about 100 m diameter. They became nearly paralyzed and "felt a warm glow." They had no fear, but were "merely cognizant of things as they were without being able to react." This sensation lasted two min. (UFO Bulletin Dec., 57) 403 Sep. 19, 1957 Point Pleasant (New Jersey). A boomerang-shaped 1840 object bigger than a house was reported to have landed. Grass flattened. (Atic) 404 Sep. 26, 1957 Yellow Falls (Texas). Three hundred people were sunset said to have seen three elongated objects with a series of portholes, maneuvering at ground level in an area with many empty oil wells. One of these objects, said to be 150 m long and 20 m high, pearl-colored, glisten- ing under the setting sun and showing a series of circles painted on its surface, landed for 20 min. An occupant emerged, observed the abandoned derricks and took off again. Observed through binoculars, he appeared as a "monster," 1 m tall, moving with strange jumps. He picked up something from the ground. (Perego) 405 Sep. 29, 1957 Deerwood Nike Base (Maryland). Undocumented 0500 report of a landing observed by missile men. (Keyhoe S) 406 Oct., 1957 Niquelandia (Brazil). At the Gabiroba farm, owners A. Santinoni and S. de Oliveira were blinded by beam from a round object at ground level. The light was green and yellow. When they came near, all went dark and the object vanished. (Round-up 205) 407 Oct. 05, 1957 Francisco de Sales (Brazil). Antonio Villas-Boas who 2300 could not sleep because of the heat, opened the shutters of his house and saw a silvery glow in the yard, but no flying object. The light moved and was seen going over the house. (FSR 66, 4; Magonia) 408 Oct. 08, 1957 Nabouwalu (Fiji Islands). Two couples going from 1500 Nabouwalu to Nawaca in a motor boat saw a white object come down from the sky, thought it was a plane in trouble and went closer. They found the object hovering 7 m above the water, and a figure on board the craft aimed at them a beam so bright they "felt weak." The figure disappeared suddenly, and the object took off vertically at high speed. (Round-up 202; Challenge 18) 409 Oct. 10, 1957 Schenectady (New York). Mrs. Edward Yeager who lived in a trailer on the Duanesburg-Church Road near Mariaville, saw a circular object go down behind the hill. Two min later it flew up again, very bright. The next day she was feeding animals that ran away as the same or a similar object came within 2 m of the ground. Two dark, little men came out of the craft and went into the woods. The object remained there two min, then left. A search for the occupants proved futile. A bus driver was said to have seen two craft land in a nearby field at the same hour. (FSR 58, 3) 410 Oct. 10, 1957 Quebracoco (Brazil). Naval officer Miguel Espanhol night and another man, traveling to Ceres, saw a bright object that illuminated the countryside and came down to ground level as the truck stalled. It was oval or saucer-shaped, over 150 m in diameter and 40 m deep, with a dome supporting a long "aerial" with a red light on top. The bright light went off and the witnesses saw seven childlike beings, with long hair and luminous suits, who looked down at them for about 3 min. The craft flew south and released a smaller disk, which flew north. (Humanoids 36) 411 Oct. 11, 1957 Roulon (France). Two witnesses in a car saw some- 2000 thing they described as "a dark, transparent ball" about 50 cm in diameter rising from the side of the road. It had appendages trailing behind. (111) 412 Oct. 14, 1957 Francisco de Sales (Brazil). Second observation by 2145 A. Villas-Boas. He was plowing a field with his brother when they saw a red light at the edge of the field. He went toward it, but it shifted its position every time he went close. It vanished on the spot. (FSR 66, 4; Magonia) 413 Oct. 15, 1957 Covington (Indiana). Mr. Moudy, a farmer, observed daylight a silvery disk which hovered above his tractor; the engine failed when the object rose. (Personal) 414 Oct. 16, 1957 Francisco de Sales (Brazil). Third observation by A. 0100 Villas-Boas. Alone in the fields on a clear night, he saw a big, red star which took the appearance of a luminous, egg-shaped object and stopped 50 m above his tractor. Its light was brighter than that of the headlights as it landed 15 m away. The top part was spinning. It became green as it slowed down, was then seen as a flattened dome. Three legs emerged from the machine as it settled down. The tractor engine stalled, and the witness was seized by unknown individuals and carried aboard the craft, where he was medically examined, then left with a woman of short stature with whom he had sexual intercourse. Villas-Boas reported that crew members wore tight, white clothes with a light on the belt, heelless white shoes, big gloves, and opaque helmets with a slit at the level of the eyes. Their language was shrill, and he could estab- lish no verbal communication with them. (FSR 66, 4 et seq.) 415 Oct. 25, 1957 Petropolis (Brazil). A girl suffering from cancer ap- peared about to die when the house was suddenly illuminated by a strong light, as if a searchlight had been aimed at the room. It came from an object whose top part was reddish yellow. Two figures emerged from it and entered the house. They were about 1.20 m tall, had long yellow-red hair, small green, slanted eyes, and wore white gloves and glowing white clothes. Before the astounded witnesses (the author of the report and the family of the girl), they used a device producing a bluish-white light and another instu- ment, in what appeared to be radiation treatment of the patient. After 30 min they went away, leaving her completely cured. The report was anonymous. (FSR 67, 5) 416 Oct. 31, 1957 Longchaumois (France). A businessman and his wife 0000 saw a large, lighted object with openings, which hov- ered, came to ground level, and took off with a great increase in brightness at very high speed, but without noise. (Personal) 417 Nov., 1957 Provencal (Louisiana). Haskell Raper, Jr., was driv- 2300 ing home on a rainy night when he saw a large, lighted object on the road ahead, which he thought was a truck. Suddenly the object flashed a beam of light directly at the car, apparently exerting a strong pressure and slowing it to a stop 5 m away. The object was then described as oval, 5 m long, 3 m high, army green in color. It bore lettering beginning with the letters UN, followed by some numbers. A sort of heat wave filled the car, and the witness ran out in panic as the vehicle caught fire. The object rose with the sound of a diesel engine. Raper ran to the town, less than 2 km away; and reported the incident. The car, a 1956 Ford, was completely destroyed. (FS Oct., 58) 418 Nov. 02, 1957 Canadian (Texas). 5 km west of this town, military 0330 and civilian witnesses reported a submarine-shaped object, red and white, two or three times as long as a car and about 3 m high, at ground level. A figure was seen near this object, also something compared to a white flag. When a car stopped in the vicinity, a flash of light from the object coincided with the sud- den failure of the headlights. (Atic) 419 Nov. 02, 1957 Levelland (Texas). A large number of reports from 2250 the Levelland area described a low-flying object, over 60 m long, equipped with a bright light, and which interfered with car ignition. (Anatomy 136; map) 420 Nov. 03, 1957 White Sands (New Mexico). At Stallion Site, an 0300 army patrol in a jeep saw an orange, "apparently con- trolled," luminous object on the ground near the site of the first A-bomb explosion. It was first seen as a sunlike source 50 m above ground, descending to ground level after 3 min, and landing several km away at the northern end of the testing grounds. Two wit- nesses. (M 238) 421 Nov. 04, 1957 Elmwood Park (Illinois). Two policemen, Joseph 0315 Lukasek and Clifford Schau, and a third man named Daniel De Giovanni, while looking for the cause of a headlight failure, observed a fluorescent object 50 to 100 m away from them, coming down. The car had- lights functioned properly again and they drove to- ward the object but had to stop at a cemetery wall. They turned off all lights and watched the object for two min. It played "hide and seek" with them as they tried to reach its location. (M 240; 113) 422 Nov. 05, 1957 New Castle (Indiana). An object looking like "a big meat platter" was seen at close range by Mrs. Jasper Barlow and her two children, who were inside their car. It had a flickering light on the bottom. There was no ignition interference noted. (M 245) 423 Nov. 05, 1957 New York City (New York). In Van Cortland Park, 0430 Frank C. was talking with a bus driver when they saw in the park, about 400 m away, a metallic object shaped like a disk, spinning with a soft whirring. On top was a fixed dome with portholes. The object was hovering at tree-height. A yellow light from the craft suddenly illuminated the area, and it flew off "like a shooting star." (M 241) 424 Nov. 05, 1957 Scotia (Nebraska). A man heard a noise similar to 1730 that of a helicopter and perceived a "burning" odor. He saw a balloon-like, elongated object that came to ground level, did not touch the ground, but rose again and disappeared. The witness was "paralyzed" during the observation. The object appeared to have gener- ated thick smoke. (Atic) 425 Nov. 06, 1957 Santa Fe (New Mexico). J. Martinez and A. Gallegos 0010 saw an egg-shaped object coming toward them at low altitude. It moved slowly, illuminating their car and producing a humming sound. The car engine, the clock and a wristwatch stopped. The object shot away toward the southwest. (M 246) 426 Nov. 06, 1957 Seoul (Korea). North of Seoul a barrel-shaped object, morning bluish-white and luminous, was seen close to the ground, reflected in a pool of water. It rose and van- ished "like a light switched off." (Atic) 427 Nov. 06, 1957 Playa del Rey (California). Richard Kehoe was driv- 0540 ing near the beach when his engine stopped, and so did three other cars. The man got out and observed an egg-shaped object wrapped in "a blue haze" on the beach. Two men, below average height got out of the craft and asked them questions about their identity, what time it was, etc. They looked normal wore black leather pants, white belts, light-colored jerseys, and seemed to have yellowish-green skin. They went back inside the craft, which left rapidly, and the cars could then be started. (Humanoids 57) 428 Nov. 06, 1957 Lake County (Ohio). A civilian source reported an 0630 object so bright that his eyes could not sustain it. It appeared to land on a ridge, then took off again. It was round and much larger than a plane, had an "odd color," left no trail and made no noise. (Atic) 429 Nov. 06, 1957 Knoxville (Tennessee). 12-year-old Everett Clark 0630 saw a strange object on the ground and four occu- pants, two men and two women who spoke a lan- guage he thought was similar to German. They went back to the craft in a manner the witness could not understand, for he saw no door. (M 271;114; Magonia) 430 Nov. 06, 1957 Everittstown (New Jersey). John Trasco saw a bril- evening liant, egg-shaped object hovering in front of a barn and was confronted with a being 1 m tall with a putty-colored face and frog-like eyes. He thought the dwarf said in broken English: "We are peaceful people; we only want your dog." The little man, who was dressed in a green suit with shiny buttons, a green tam-o-shanter-like cap, and gloves with a shiny object at the tip of each finger, fled when the witness denied his request. (Humanoids 56; Magonia) 431 Nov. 06, 1957 Boerne (Texas). A civilian source reported an oval 1800 object, about 5 m long, bright orange, similar to glowing coals, hovering 4 m above ground. The wit- ness went to call his family; the object had vanished when he returned. Unidentified. (Atic) 432 Nov. 06, 1957 Baskatong Lake (Canada). 180 km north of Ottawa 2100 Jacques Jacobson and three of his friends saw a bright, yellowish-white sphere hovering over a hilltop about 4 km away. From top and bottom issued light cones that illuminated the countryside and the clouds. Radio reception was blocked throughout the obser- vation, except for a very powerful signal at one wave- length, modulated, but not in Morse code. The object rose slowly toward the south. (M 249) 433 Nov. 06, 1957 Montville (Ohio). Olden Moore, 28, a plasterer was 2330 driving home when he suddenly saw an object look- ing like a bright meteor split into two pieces, one of which went straight up. The other got larger while its color changed from bright white to blue-green. It hovered 60 m above a field and came to the ground with a soft whirring sound, 150 m away. After observ- ing it for 15 min, Moore then walked to the object, which he found to be shaped like "a covered dish" 15 m in diameter, 5 m high, with a cone on top about 3 m high, surrounded by haze or fog, pulsating slowly. Holes, footprints and radioactivity were found at the site by Civil Defense Director Kenneth Locke. (M 252) 434 Nov. 07, 1957 Meridian (Mississippi). Truck driver Malvin Stevens, 0725 48, was driving to Memphis when, about 23 km northwest of Meridian, he saw an object which ap- peared to have two propellers at either end and a third one on top. Getting out of his truck, he saw three little men about 1.30 m tall, in gray clothes, with "pasty white faces" that seemed friendly and willing to talk, but he was unable to understand their "chattering." "I stood there for what seemed like an eternity." They got back into the machine and it took off straight up. There was no ignition inter- ference. An 8-year-old girl from Honse independently reported a round object crossing the sky toward the south. (M 273; 115) 435 Nov. 08, 1957 Edinburgh (Scotland). Fourteen people, including Mrs. Maty Home, reported to police that a disk- shaped object followed their truck, dived toward it, came within 20 m of them, then left toward the sea, leaving a double vapor trail. (Round-up 217; 116) 436 Nov. 08, 1957 Sloanville (New York). A cigar-shaped object 70 m 0200 long was observed less than 7 m above ground. (M 264; 117) 437 Nov. 08, 1957 Holly (West Virginia). Hank Mollohan and eight 1430 other persons saw an elongated object, 12 m long, with several portholes from which fire and smoke appeared to be coming. It swung at low altitude and dropped to the ground. People seemed to be moving around it, but the witnesses were driven away by a hard rain. (M 265) 438 Nov. 08, 1957 Waterloo (Iowa). Paul Rutledge saw an object 16 m night long flying over his garage. The top part was bright, and there were two figures visible inside. (M 266) 439 Nov. 09, 1957 Lake City (Missouri). A civilian driving his car home 0100 from work observed a hovering object 16 m long. His car engine died as he neared the object's position, and it started again only after the object's departure. (Atic) 440 Nov. 10, 1957 Madison (Ohio). Mrs. Leita Kuhn observed a very 0125 large, lighted object 20 m above ground. It was so brilliant that she had to close her eyes. It was over 10 m wide, 3 to 4 m thick, with a dome on top. The witness had to consult a physician several days later because of serious eye and skin irritation. (M 267; 118) 441 Nov. 16, 1957 Bage City (Brazil). A blinding object, red and yellow, 2230 twice landed-first near the Jockey Club, then near the Rural Exhibition. (Quincy) 442 Nov. 18, 1957 Maracaja (Brazil). Farmers Joao Ernani and Pedro 1030 Zilli heard a strange humming sound, then saw two aluminum-colored disks 200 m away. Near them were six mm of average height, slim build, dressed in "dark gray suits glued to their bodies." The disks were about 3.5 m wide, hovering 1 m above ground. They rose with a sharp whistling sound, while coconut trees below them bent double. Three more disks rose from behind the trees, and all five flew toward the Atlantic. (Humanoids 36) 443 Nov. 18, 1957 Aston (Great Britain). Mrs. Cynthia Appleton, 27, 1500 mother of two, saw the figure of a man appear near her fireplace while a whistling sound was audible. He was tall and fair, wore a tight-fitting plastic gar- ment, and seemed to communicate with her through telepathy, indicating he was looking for titanium and was coming from a world of peace and harmony.

Between Woodward and 1750 Seiling, 12 km from the latter, an unknown flying object allegedly took complete control of a car with three passengers. The driver, an employee of an air- craft company, had turned the heater, windshield wiper, and radio on. He was nearing a hill in this wooded area when a bright light appeared ahead. It reminded the witness of the light from a mercury lamp. As a crash seemed imminent, the car slowed down by itself and stopped, as if the entire electrical circuit had failed. Over the vehicle was a disk 16 m in diameter with portholes around the periphery, emit- ting a current of hot air and a high-pitched sound. It had a dome on top and bottom. It rose as the car started by itself. The car was a 1954 Dodge Coronet without automatic transmission. The witness spent four hours with two Kirtland AFB officers who told him of similar observations. The case was never re- ported to Blue Book. (Personal) 449 Dec. 11, 1957 Chestnut (Louisiana).

A spinning antennalike de- vice was noted. A few minutes later it flew off. (FSR 60,3) 452 Dec. 21, 1957 Ponte Poran (Brazil). Mrs. Mendonca and five other 1830 persons saw a light in the south, which later appeared as two spherical objects coming closer to the witnesses on an oscillating course.

Estimated diameter: 5 m. (APRO Mar., 59) 453 Dec. 30, 1957 Drakestown (New Jersey). George Chowanski, an night auto mechanic was alerted by the barking of his dog and heard a whirring sound similar to that of an elec- tric shaver.

(FS Oct., 58) 454 Jan., 1958 Depew (New York). A lady who was driving on the 0130 New York State Thruway during a snow storm saw a large shape with a tall, luminous pole on the side of the road. Her car stalled, and the lights went off. Two figures, looking like animals or huge insects were observed near the pole. They soon disappared, and the object took off spinning. The witness was then able to start her car. She noted that the snow at the site had been melted and the grass was warm. (Binder; Magonia) 455 Jan. 04, 1958 Stavanger (Norway). A woodcutter reported that he saw an object land, and a very tall man with a tanned face, wearing a helmet, stepped from the machine. He went back in after a few minutes; the craft took off "with a noise like a flock of birds." Air Force offi- cers and policemen searched the snowcovered hill for traces. (FSR 58, 2) 456 Jan. 07, 1958 Aston (Great Britain). Two figures again appeared to Mrs. Appleton and spoke to her in English (see Case 443). (Humanoids 4) 457 Jan. 13, 1958 Farm Hill (Australia).
