1965: August UFO & Alien Sightings

(Last Updated On: September 28, 2016)

Date: July or August 1965
Location: Phoenix Arizona
Time: 1800
Summary: Mrs V T and her daughter observed a triangular shaped object fly overhead low and slowly, the witness counted 13 windows around the perimeter of the object, and in one window she saw a figure, who walked into view with his arm raised as though touching something on the inside wall. He then dropped his arm, turned to the window, and looked out directly at the two witnesses, who felt that he was “looking at us.” The daughter did not see the figure, but she observed a red light in the forward point of the triangle, and two blue lights at the rear points. The figure the witness saw was slim, of human shape, and wore tight fitting clothing. He appeared to be of average height, although she saw him only from the waist up. The object passed over a treetop height, or just above, and the witnesses started waving at it; she ran inside to get her camera and when she returned, the object was no longer in view.

Location: Near Nisqually, Washington
Time:  afternoon
Summary: On several occasions a nightmarish creature was reportedly sighted near this town. A composite description from eyewitnesses revealed something that stood nearly 7 ft tall with a hairless, egg shaped head. It reportedly had large, pink glowing eyes, a small nose and ears and a slit like mouth. The upper body was thin, but it had ham-sized hands. The lower portion of its body was described as “stumpy.” Several witnesses reported the creature appeared to be wearing a white garment resembling a doctor’s smock. On one occasion, a teenage boy claimed he shot the creature with a .22 rifle from a distance of 25 ft. The boy and a companion said that the bullet knocked the creature down momentarily but that it quickly got back on its feet and ran off.

Time: afternoon
Summary: Brother and sister Juan & Isabel Dominguez were returning home with a load of peaches when they noticed what appeared to be a tall shadowy figure moving back and forth in front of a nearby garden wall. Curious they approached the figure and were horrified to see a tall translucent human-shaped figure that was now moving over a vegetable patch near the river. They could see that the entity had very long arms that moved in harmony with its body, the rest of the body was proportional and “gelatinous” in appearance. The creature was well above 2 meters in height. When the giant turned and walked in the direction of the witnesses these dropped their bundles of peaches and fled in terror. During the whole encounter both witnesses heard a sound resembling that of a “rattler”.

Location: Near Elizabeth, New South Wales, Australia
Time: night
Summary: After seeing luminous dart-like objects flying over the area and receiving communication from supposed alien entities on a Quija board a couple, Dora and Derek, were told to go to an isolated area near Lake Illawarra. As they walked through the night, they felt that something was wrong. A light aircraft was flying backwards and forwards across the lake, as though searching for something. This apparently scared off the aliens and they did not show up that night. Later that same week, the couple again had made contact with the “visitors” and was told to go to the same general location. Soon they reached the rendezvous point and leaving the cover of the trees they stepped into the clearing. The couple paused for a moment and peered into the darkness. Suddenly Dora grabbed Derek’s arm and pointed to a nearby tree. The tree stood out from the others, it was on the edge of the woods and clear of the undergrowth. Derek could just make out a shadowy figure standing by the trunk. Dora was able to see more, she described the figure as tall, and human-like. It appeared to be dressed all in black, in a type of one-piece suit. It was tall and slim, but not thin. The couple stood transfixed, peering through the darkness at the stationary shape. After a few minutes they saw movement as the hands of the tall dark figure reached towards its middle. It seemed to touch its belt, and then quite suddenly it disappeared. Later as they examined the tree, they came to the conclusion that the figure must have been about 8 ft tall.

Summary: During a heavy storm the four witnesses were in the farm living room discussing the weekend plans. Suddenly one of the men heard sounds coming from outside and thought it was the sheep that had gotten out. While the other two (a husband and wife) stayed inside he and his wife went outside to check. The man chased the sheep back into the pen while the woman held the gate. When she turned around she saw the man staring, as in a trance into the sky. He called out his name but there was no response. Out of nowhere a metallic object had descended over the man and hovered 20 ft above him. He remembers seeing “people” inside the craft wearing what look like blue jump suits. He also said that the people looked human, and they all had long blond hair and blue eyes. His wife saw the same thing, confirming the account. After about a minute she yelled at him to get away from the object. He ran in a full sprint to the house. He later confirmed that the reason why he was not answering his wife was because he was in some sort of trance and couldn’t take his eyes off the craft.

At 9:08 p.m., four objects, bluish-white with a red haze in color, the size of a pea held at arm’s length, were observed visually from the Control Tower. The objects were first seen at 45 degrees elevation and at 190 degrees azimuth. All the objects appeared to be at approximately 22,000 feet. One object was moving south and one object was moving north at speeds of approximately 150 to 200 mph. Two of the objects did not appear to be moving. Information on these objects was furnished to the 746th AC&W Squadron, at the Oklahoma City AFS. They advised radar contact with one object at 10,000 feet in the vicinity of Norman, Oklahoma, located approximately 20 miles south of Tinker AFB. The length of observation was 1 1/2 hours.

Summary: UAO Photographed in Nebraska The above photo is of an unconventional aerial object photographed through a telescope at Valentine, Nebraska on the morning of 3 August 1965. The photographer, Miss Judy Hatcher, 17, is an amateur astronomer. She was alerted by BiU \trard after he saw an object in the southeast which moved to the northwest. The object ri’as star-like in appearance, except for the fact that it moved up and down and did other maneuvers in relation to some power lines, with maneuvers covering about 12 degrees. there were no stars close enough to which the movement could be related, and a telescope revealed no telescopic stars in the vicinity. The object dimmed frequently, to the extent that it could no longer be seen by naked eye or telescope. It changed colors, varying from red to green to bluish-white. The colors were visible with the naked eye and with telescope and binoculars. An observation of the subject out of focus in the scope showed that the colors moved across the object from side to side, or from top to bottom. or vice versa. The colors were not all present at the same time, in a shifting pattern, as in stars. After this one went through some rapid and extreme changes in color and brightness, another object bunked on in the northeast. It was noted that if one blinked excessively, the other would disappear. After about three hours the original object blinked off and failed to reappear. Miss Hatcher tried three photos of this object through the telescope, and succeeded on two of them. It was noted that all the major stars were in place, including Arcturus, but that no star of less than second magnitude was visible in the vicinity of the object. Object sighted in northeast performed same maneuvers, dimming and color changes as first one. Generally proceeding east slowly and four smaller and dimmer objects appeared to be following and attempting to close ranks with it,

Summary: Three anonymous witnesses, one “a well known gynecologist,” saw a yellow luminous disc about 50 ft in diameter descend and hover over the ground 100 ft away. Then a shaft of light was projected downwards from its bottom, and in this shaft two “men” 7-8 ft tall, with shoulder length blond hair, descended to the ground; they wore seamless one-piece coveralls that appeared metallic. These beings approached the witnesses, telling them telepathically not to be afraid. The gynecologist asked them a number of questions to which they replied; they said (for example) that they came from Orion and that robots piloted some of their ships.

Time: 11:30 p.m. Allegedly a luminous UFO was photographed by James Lucci. According to estimations by witnesses, the diameter of the UFO was around 13 meters. Lucci, 17, was photographing the full moon with his brother, John, 23. According to them a shining object appeared from behind a hill. James managed to take two shots before the flying object left. His friends encouraged him to send the photos to the Beaver County Times, where they were analyzed and declared authentic. On the image above, the moon can be seen at left. The analyses by UFO researchers wasn’t so generous.

Location: Lima Peru
Time: 2200
Summary: The anonymous witness, a “sedate” music teacher and “high public employee,” was driving in the outskirts of Lima when his car’s motor started to miss, and then stopped. At that moment the car, surrounded by a beam of light from above, rose up from the road and was then carried through the sky for an unknown distance, at an altitude such that the witness could see the coastline and a peninsula, La Punta, west of the city. He was paralyzed. The car was returned to the ground at a place he could not identify (but near the coast, for he could hear waves breaking), where a voice speaking perfect Spanish asked him to get out. He did so, and “could barely make out” little men with big ears. Apparently no UFO was seen, but there was a luminous screen nearby, on which he read; “We are using calming rays on you to remove your fear.” He then asked several questions, in response to which the spokesperson told him that they came from a place more distant than Mars, that they had visited Earth on various occasions in the past, & that they did not appear in public because that might cause panic. Asked if they knew music, he caused the witness to hear “something that might be considered as music, but that had the power of raising the feelings to the highest exaltation.” Then his car was transported back through the air to the spot from which he had been picked up. He told his story to an uncle, an official in the Peruvian police, who informed reporters.

At around 8:50 p.m. local time, a large circular object with over 100 lights was observed at very low altitude in the vicinity of Riverhead, N.Y. by an airman. The object hovered for 5-10 minutes and then flew away towards Montauk. Around 9:15 p.m., at the Suffolk County AFB, a call came in of someone reporting a UFO in the vicinity of Southhampton. A request was made to divert a KC-97 aircraft (AG 506) to make a run on the UFO and try and identify it. This was done with the help of GCA Vectors. The pilot saw the object but was unable to identify it. (Dan Wilson)

Multiple objects were seen visually from the ground by observers at building S-35 Base Operations and the control tower. In addition the objects were observed on the base AN/CPS  9 weather radar. Objects moved from north northeast to the south very fast and disappeared to the south. These objects were observed over a period of 4 – 5 hours. They appeared to be at angles estimated to be at 30 degrees to 60 degrees above the horizon. One witness observed a dull red object , oval in shape, at 5 to 10 degrees above the horizon.Some of the observers were 2nd Lt Lee F. Hudson and Staff  Sgt Alton W. Badman, both of the of the 8th Weather Squadron. Other observers were control tower personnel. All the observers are considered to be reliable.  One witness on duty in the control tower observed an object round in shape and appeared to be the size of a huge star. Object had a spotlight pointing directly toward the ground and another spotlight pointing to the southeast. The object was moving northeast at  approx. 10 knots. This object was tracked on radar on both height  and search presently measuring 5000 ft. altitude. (Dan Wilson)

At 11:15 a.m. EST, Major Jack D. Bond, sitting in a passenger seat of a T-29 aircraft observed an unidentified flying object. The aircraft was on a heading of 300 degrees and was descending from 4000 feet to 3000 feet at the time of the sighting. The object was ascending and descending and was slightly higher than the T-29. The object appeared to be 5 to 7 miles away and moving in a general direction of 90 degrees. The object’s speed was highly erratic during the 3 ascents and 3 descents that the object made. On its third descent the object appeared to level off and accelerate away at a speed of 600 knots or more. Project Blue Book evaluated this sighting as a Mirage. (Dan Wilson)

Summary: As he drove away after dropping off his two daughters, sisters, Ellen Grace, 16, and Laura Jean Ryerson, 13, next to a bean field, a Mr. Ryerson noticed two unusual “persons” walking along the side road of the bean field. As the girls walked along this road they approached the two very unusual people. The first “person” was like a gnome, little, gray wrinkled elf-like being. He wore a gray shirt and pants, and a funny little hat. He was dancing and jumping around in front of the other being as they approached closer and closer. He was cackling and the girls thought it sounded like laughter. The other being was approximately 5 ft tall. He had a very unusual head. His face was gray but the back of his head had a bulbous extension with veins showing through it. It pulsated. On the rest of his cranium there were large pores and this part of his head was white. His eyes were described as like a frog’s eyes. In his mouth he had a little pipe. He was blowing in it and making a shrill sound. The tallest one wore shiny clothes, like satin. The top was purple and it was put together with the pants into once piece. The top had deep pockets and it had its hands in the pockets so they did not see what its hands were like. At first the girls thought they were dressed in Halloween costumes, but as they got closer they realized that this was something they had never seen before. The oldest girl felt that they were going to grab her. Fear filled her body and she yelled to the other girl to run. They had just purchased new shoes and they didn’t want to run into the muddy field. When they looked back both beings had completely disappeared.

Summary: David G, 14, and his father and sister were sitting in their yard when they heard a high-pitched whining sound and saw an aluminum object 15-20 ft in diameter, looking like “two saucers glued together,” descending slowly from the sky. It disappeared behind a hill a third of a mile away, and the young man walked to the hill to investigate. When about 150 yards from the site, he saw a being 3.t ft tall, with a baldhead, peeking out from behind a tree. He did not see the figure leave, but a minute or so later he saw a “blur” and heard a rush of air. At the landing site, in an old quarry, he found a 15-20 foot circle of charred glass, within which were indentations of 5” x 12” and an inch deep. The sighting occurred during a minor wave of reports in Iowa and elsewhere.

Summary: On August 11 or 13, 1965, near Monroe, Michigan, USA, Christine van Acker, aged 17, wwas driving to bring back home her mother, Rose Owens, on a road in a wooded area in the night. Whereas she negotiated a turn of the road, a 2.10 height meters hairy and dark creature arrived on the road, and she had to brake. One moment later, the monster introduced an arm in the car by the open window and clutched Christine van Acker by the hair with its enormous hairy hand, with rough and black hairs with bleached ends, while growling. Its hand became entwined in the hair of the panicked girl, who stalled the car when she tried to accelerate away. An understandable panic ensued, the two women screamed, Christine van Acker honked the car’s horn repeatedly, and the creature eventually retreated to the woods. Moments later, David Thomas, aged 22, came by, alerted by the sound of the car’s horn, and found Mrs. Owens standing on the road and Christine van Acker draped on the steering wheel. Miss van Acker had bruises at her face, and her photograph was published in the newspapers and magazines through the country, since the experience drew the attention of the national medias for there had already been many stories of upright half-men half-animals creatures in June and July of this year. The locals over-reacted and organized a posse armed with weapons with guns and forks and searched the wooded countryside finding anything. These people thought that the creature could be a radiation-spawned mutant caused by the nearby Enrico Fermi atomic plant, where gates and to be closed and guard increased in result of these rumours and tensions. The event attracted the curious, a restaurant owner was happy enough to declare that he does not care what the creature is as long as it stays in the area. Thereafter, the story made the “Bigfoot” books and websites and even some UFO books.

Location: Sedalia Missouri
Time:  2300
Summary: The witness, an anonymous woman, was driving home at 2300 and was within a mile of her house when she saw a light in a field, with “smoke” around it. In the ditch she noticed two large “birds,” one of which flew at her car. She arrived home at 0025A, unable to account for the lapse of time. Under hypnotic regression she recalled that the “birds” in the ditch where in fact two entities wearing space suits; one carried a sack on its back, into which the other was putting clumps of grass and soil samples. They were “bouncing up & down, their arms flopping at their sides” in a “stiff” manner suggestive of robots. One started to come out of the ditch, slipped back, then emerged and stood in front of her; its helmet began to glow brilliantly, and she could now see that its head was wrapped up in tape like a mummy, with only the eyes visible. It stood slightly over 5 ft tall. At this point, a “thing—a football shaped UFO—landed on the road ahead of her car.” Two beings with slightly pointed heads & “wrap around” eyes emerged from it and opened her car door. They conducted her into the object, assuring her telepathically that she would not be hurt. The air inside the UFO was “heavy” and difficult for her to breathe. Once she was inside, they flew the ship over a nearby field, which caused its interior lights to change from white to red. One of the entities, who did most of the talking, appeared to be a scientist or doctor; he wore an insignia of 3 rings on his chest. Another had a red lighting flash symbol on his uniform; she took him to be the pilot. A third entity appeared to be a woman. All these stood 5’10” tall. The “doctor” put an object of some kind over her head; she felt as if something were going into her brain. A round black object was then taken out of the wall, and with it “pictures” were taken of her; the object glowed blue when the pictures were taken. On a screen on the wall appeared a pattern—7 vertical lines with markings between them—, which she thought must be a tabular representation of her brain and body. The two figures, about a foot shorter, made their appearance; resembling “gnomes,” they aroused fear in the witness. They appeared old; their foreheads were wrinkled. She was told by the humanoids that they and the “mummies” came from different planets. Finally she was led back to her car; the UFO ascended, and then vanished while still at low altitude.

Location: Near Mexico City Mexico
Time: unknown
Summary: It was reported that two independent groups of students, 3 from La Salle University and a party of high school boys, had separate but identical meetings with strange visitors. Each group had come upon a huge landed metallic disc 150 ft wide, emitting intense white light. Its blond and blue-eyed crewmembers, entirely human in appearance but 7 ft tall, wore seamless one-piece garments of metallic appearance. The students were invited into the craft and taken for a 3-hour journey to a huge space station. The humanoids communicated entirely by telepathy, and operated their instruments by thought-power. Many varieties of beings were seen at the space station; the students hosts were from the Jovian moon Ganymede. They said they knew 700 languages, and informed their guests that they would make mass landings, for “peaceful conquest,” in October of 1965.

Summary: Two brothers, Gregory, 15, and Ralph Jr., 11, saw a luminous object passing by their bedroom window; it was cigar shaped, and moving slowly at the heights of trees outside the house. Shortly after the object passed out of view from the window, the boys heard a thump on the roof, followed by a knocking sound and footfalls. Being somewhat shaken by the appearance of the object, one of the boys jokingly called out, “Come in,” whereupon there was a bright flash at the doorway of the room, followed by the appearance of the silhouette of a man about the height of their father. By now badly frightened, they hastened to their parent’s room, where they insisted on spending the remainder of the night. The family lives in the vicinity of Brooks Air Force Base.

Location: Near Cuenca Ecuador
Time: 0130A
Summary: Hector Crespo, a highway engineer, his son Urgenio and Francisco Lopez, were approaching Zhulleng, 11 miles from Cuenca, when they saw two beams of bright light shining up into the sky. On going to investigate what they believed was a car wreck; they found a circular object 20 ft in diameter, with a transparent dome on top. A bright amber light kept flashing around the edge, and flickering red and blue beams were shining downwards. The 3 witnesses approached within 60 ft of the UFO and could see through an open door instruments and lights inside it. Three human like figures were seen outside the object, one apparently adjusting the light beam projector and the others handing him tools. All moved very slowly, “as if under water.” They were dressed in metallic looking silvery white close-fitting coveralls, with wide white belts, dark epaulets, and shiny helmets. At one point two of the “men” turned and looked directly at the spot where the witnesses were watching, as though knowing the operation was being watched, and then returned to the repairs. The object was standing on telescopic legs with curved dish like footpads, although they were uncertain as to whether there were three or four legs. Crespo’s son became so frightened that he was nauseated, so they went back to their car; after some time they saw the object take off, the light moving around the edge now a brilliant red and the vertical white beams now extinguished. Just before it “took off like lighting,” it became too bright to look at.
