Summary: A doctor was returning home on horseback when suddenly the horse stopped, head erect and nostrils wide. The animal’s body began to quiver and its eyes popped out as if it was seeing something not yet visible to its rider. Moments later the horse began to whine strangely as a being described as beautiful, human like with a youthful face and golden hair appeared on the road just ahead. The being wore celestial green colored garments and was enveloped in a soft golden aura. He had penetrating blue eyes. The being did not speak as it kept pace with the horse when it started walking again. The doctor briefly closed his eyes and thanked God for the experience, when he opened his eyes again the angelic being disappeared.

Summary: 9-year old Linda was heading for home during the dinner break with a school friend when she became aware of a distinct humming sound. Linda glanced upwards to the source of the and was amazed to what she saw. Not one, but four UFOs. Two were saucer shaped and two like elongated cigars. The girls were so excited by this that they jumped up and down and waved towards the objects. Linda recalls figures waving back in response, but were to far away to describe them. The objects were very low down, almost at roof height, hovering. The saucers had windows all around the circumference separated by upright flashing bars. The cigars however had windows only at the front. Linda felt that the UFOs were deliberately watching them. Suddenly one of the cigar shaped objects, which had been hanging back swooped down, and immediately all four UFOs rose upwards and disappeared through the clouds.

Summary: 8-year old Sidney Brighton was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night. He looked to the bottom of the bed and there he saw the heads and shoulders of six or seven people, closely grouped together, all facing in his direction. The figures seemed to be floating and he could not see the rest of their bodies. The witness was frightened as the figures stared straight ahead; two in the middle looked directly at him and seemed to be speaking into each other’s ears. He tried to wake up his elder brother, but no even a sharp nudge had any effect. He covered his face with the sheets, but after awhile felt compelled to look again. They were still there, only this time one of them raised a hand to his face and made a motion rather like a dart-throwing action. Then they all grouped together, moved slightly to the left and began spinning around and around until they became a blur and disappeared.
