Summary: At the fifteenth century Wildenstein Castle, Maximilian, Baron Hofer von Lobenstein had gone out one night to let the dogs out when he saw about ten feet away, lit up from behind by a small blue flame, a little man with a beard. He hopped around the Baron, but suddenly disappeared in plain sight. The Baroness saw the little man too, on a different occasion. It was about noon when she saw a two-foot tall man in a yellow vest and peaked cap, which turned a somersault in one of the castle rooms.

Summary: Three saucers that Buck Nelson had previously seen returned; one of them circled low over his house and spoke to him in English with a PA system. He asked questions by telepathy, and answered theirs by gestures. After assuring them of his friendliness, he was told they would land in the future, and would take him to their home planet, Venus. He could see the men in the craft, big boned and muscular.

Summary: Feb. 7, 1955; Knights Landing, California (BB)
4:30 p.m. local. During observations of conventional jet aircraft the witness observed the antics of a winged UFO that reportedly executed a vertical climb and later, a steep dive. This incident was discovered in an OSI document to the FBI, found in the Blue Book file collection. If this actually occurred it would be an interesting, but distant encounter, worth posting in the Cat. 1 file. (Dan Wilson, BB files)

Summary: The 10-year old witness who was at the being treated by means of hypnosis found herself suddenly inside a flying saucer. Three men onboard lay on gravity couches as the craft approached a planet, then entered a hole in a mountain, and approached a city. She explored various buildings and saw a place where saucers were made, also were the beings eaten. The sun smaller than on Earth, but the moon was larger and the constellations the same. She had to wear a helmet to go outside, since the air was not breathable. The craft had three globes beneath it, while the beings were both male and female and had black hair. The men wore overalls and the women short dresses. The beings spoke in a language of their own but communicated with her by telepathy.

Location: Green City, Missouri BB
Time: 5:15 p.m. CST.
Summary: A civilian witness reported that a disc-shaped object, 100′ in diameter and 12′ thick, hovered at 500′. This object, complete with “windows”, would be classified as a flying saucer, and in 1955 was supposed to be investigated by Project Blue Book. It was reported to the Air Force as the UFOB Index Card shows. “The observer was driving a vehicle at the time of sighting and estimated that he was one mile from the object at this time. Due to the brevity of sighting (20-25 secs), the delay in the receipt of the preliminary report at this Headquarters, and, therefore the improbability of investigation turning up more valuable information, no subsequent investigation was directed.”

Date: February 23 1955
Location: Broadlands Hampshire England
Time: 0830A
Summary: The witness was cycling to work when he encountered a large hovering object over a nearby field. The object was silvery metallic and shaped like a huge top. It had a row of portholes around the middle. The witness approached the object and dismounted from his bicycle. As he watched, a shaft descended from the center of the object and with it a man that appeared to be standing on a platform. He wore a dark overall and a close fitting helmet. The witness then noticed a bluish flash from one of the portholes and he suddenly fell over, unable to move. The shaft then retracted into the object, which then rose silently away. The witness was then able to move again but felt quite dizzy afterwards.

Date: February 24 1955
Location: Broadlands Hampshire England
Time: morning
Summary: The witness was cycling along the same lane when he spotted the same “man” he saw onboard the object the day before, standing on the roadway. He wore a blue coverall and with a friendly expression signaled the witness to stop. He grabbed the witness by his hand and apparently using mental telepathy invited him aboard an object that hovered above a nearby, secluded field. Inside the witness sat on a chair in a small compartment that had a triangular shaped window. He was asked if he wanted to take a trip, he indicated that he would want to see the pyramids of Egypt again. A few moments later he looked out the triangular shaped window and was able to see them. He was then taken back to the same field and then he returned home.

Date: February/March 1955
Location: Connecticut (exact location not given)
Time: late night
Summary: The 3-year old witness remembers sitting on the edge of the bed. There was a pulsating green glow coming in through the window of the bedroom. Everything was very silent. Very calm, almost in a detached state he heard footsteps coming up the back steps and the back door open. The footsteps approach his bedroom and the door is flung open. Moments later a blond haired man and woman enter the bedroom. They are wearing a one-piece suit that reminds the witness of his pajamas with the feet built into them. The color is dull silver. The humanoids are the size of his parents; the woman is somewhat smaller than the man. They stand there looking at the witness as he sits on the bed staring at them. They approached to within 3 ft of the witness and say hello and then call him by his name. They spoke in an accent just like the local New Englanders. The witness asks who they were and he is told that they are his friends. The woman adds that he does not remember them but that one day he will. The woman tells him that they had come to visit from time to time to help him learn “big things”, they seemed to be speaking in terms understandable to a 3-year old. The witness wants to know why but he is told that they cannot tell him yet. They tell him that is time to leave and that it was time for him to go back to sleep. They tell him not to look at the light outside. He lies down and covers up and the man leading the way, they turn around and open the door walking out and closing the door behind them. He hears them walk out the back door. The witness then hears a kind of hum and a bright green light momentarily shines through the window. He gets sleepy and falls asleep. (The witness was to have further encounters, all the memories of the encounters came back to him unexpectedly in 1989).
