(Last Updated On: March 20, 2017)

Date: August, 1981: Object observed entering water in Hamilton, Ontario


Date: August  1981
Location:  Near Stone Mountain Georgia
Time:  afternoon
Summary:  Mark James had arranged a clandestine date with a girl and was sitting behind a vacant house awaiting her arrival. She arrived without incident. As they sat next to the sliding glass door holding hands they noticed a large “hand” up against the door from the inside. It was described as bigger than a normal hand. It had only three fingers. Looking up they saw a creature with huge eyes staring at them. After seeing this they were unable to move. The glass door opened and the being stepped outside. The being held a device and was not wearing any visible clothing, the device resembled a long needle. He knelt down next to Mark, while the girl remained in a “frozen like” state. The being instructed Mark to turn his head then inserted the device into Mark’s left ear. He felt pain and heard a “pop.” When the needle was removed Mark noticed a small ball at the end of the needle. The being had a musty smell, similar to that of “dirty clothes.” Next the being pricked one of Mark’s fingers, then turned his head facing the other direction. The being then walked away through a fence gate in the backyard then disappeared. Soon both were able to move. The girl was unaware that anything had taken place and had not seen the being.

Summary:  The 8-year old witness was heading towards the pavilion that his family was staying at this well-known resort area. At the last minute he decided to go to the playground. Soon he noticed a young couple hiking several meters ahead of him. A moment later he saw something, which shocked him—ten meters ahead and a little bit to the right. It was a mysterious humanoid shape about 2 meters in height and totally silvery in color. The figure appeared to be totally covered in a metallic silvery suit from head to toe. It stood in apparent attention, its arms close to the side of its body. The witness remembers seeing what appeared to be glowing orange eyes resembling diodes on the figures face. For about 5 seconds he stared at the creature and then he looked left. About 150 meters northwest from him he saw two typical silvery-white flying saucers. They were hovering about 2 or 3 meters above a parking lot. One slightly higher than the other. The witness noticed a glowing white light radiating from the objects, which appeared to be of the same size. After about 4 seconds he looked right and again saw the creature standing in the same spot. It was not moving and was looking directly at the boy. Frightened he ran from the area and did not see the humanoid and objects depart.

The witness was staying at an overnight camp out. After dinner and campfire they all went to their tents. The witness felt restless, not knowing why. Later that night he noticed a very bright light outside the tent, he attempted to wake his companion, but this one just opened his eyes and stared. The zipper of the tent then opened, and a short 4-foot tall figure entered. It waved at the witness and he felt motionless, but felt no fear. The figure had almond colored skin; it had two large but like eyes and no trace of a nose. The witness could detect an indentation where the mouth should have been. The witness felt something in his head as the humanoid motioned for him to follow him. Outside he was surrounded by a white light and felt a pinch in his arm. At that moment a feeling came over the witness that he was genetically different from others. The only other recollection of that night was of being brought back to his tent and put to sleep.

The witness was walking back from the beach are towards the camping site when at a distance of 150 meters ahead of him he caught sight of two men in dark clothing that ran across the trail and vanished into some bushes. Moments later he saw them again on the path ahead of him. They were somewhat short, slimly built and dressed in dark green outfits. Their faces were green and they had large almond shaped eyes. Halfway down their abdomen they were covered by a short of mist. Hanging from their belts were black boxes with violet colored and yellow cables and spiral wires. At the same time he caught sight of a hovering silvery oblong disc, misty in appearance. He apparently received a telepathic message telling him “not to be afraid.” He continued walking slowly and the two beings stepped off the path. The witness experienced a strange sensation and received additional telepathic messages but he continued on and left. Later strange marks were found on the ground where the object had hovered. The witness also noted a short period of missing time.

Location:  Apple Valley, MN
Time:  3:30 AM. 
Summary:   Russell Matson and another man were driving down a road in Apple Valley when they sighted a hexagonal object nearly overhead, at perhaps a distance of 500 feet. It had two green, two red, and white lights on its corners. It was estimated to be between 60 and 90 feet across. The object pivoted, making a 90 degree turn while stationary, then descended and approached the witnesses. It made a soft “whoosh” sound as the object passed, like gas escaping from a propane tank.

The witness remembers lying in bed and being taken up by a beam of light into a hovering spacecraft. Two undescribed beings greeted him inside. He was reportedly shown different scientific formulas, such as cold fusion techniques, splitting the atom, and the advancement of computers. The beings were not threatening and attempted to comfort the witness. They transmitted peaceful thoughts into his head. They also warned him what would happen if humanity did not stop the (deployment) use of nuclear weapons. The witness apparently blacked out at this point and remembers being shown back in time, the exact moment of his birth. Later he was safely returned. No other information.

Summary:  About twenty workers returning to the estate observed a one meter tall ball of fire bouncing along the ground in front of them, it then “climbed” up a building wall of an observation tower and exploded. The supervisor of the group ran to warn others of the fire, but suddenly the flames appeared to gather themselves back into a ball of flame which rolled pass the supervisor and entered a nearby building. The supervisor then saw three figures standing outside the building, apparently looking at the fiery ball. The figures were tall and man-like and were wearing shiny silvery coveralls. They slowly turned and looked at the witness blinding him with a burst of bright light that emanated from their heads. The witness suddenly felt paralyzed and fell to the ground, when he recovered the figures, and the ball of flame had gone.

Date: middle of August 1981 – Germany: The Lintel Lake Incident 


Date: August 16 1981
Location:  Near Winnipeg, British Columbia, Canada
Time:  about midnight
Summary:  The witness was driving alone outside of Winnipeg when he saw a huge UFO gliding over the roadway. It had a central core from which were emanating long and slender filament-like projections that gave off an extremely bright, neon-like glow of a luminous red-orange color. The filaments were at least 50 ft in length each and numbered about two dozen, giving the object the appearance of a jellyfish with spikes. The “tentacles” were arrayed equidistant from another and formed a conical shape beneath the central mass and an inverted conical shape above it. The object then hovered 150 ft above a farmer’s field. The witness parked his vehicle then ran towards the object, which then glided majestically above the roadway. Dimly outlined from the glow inside the “windows” of the central mass were two or three figures, whose features were not discernible, but whose heads and shoulders indicated they were humanoid in shape. The witness waved at the object, which responded first with a flash of red light and then a green one from inside the hull. The object then flew away. (Right before this encounter the witness had heard an “enchanting melody of an unknown source over the radio). He has been involved in other encounters as well.

A cigar-shaped object was seen to crash right off the coast. Its diameter was about 1.2 meters. After plowing the bay for the craft it was retrieve to shore about 250 meters on a natural trench. Inside they discovered the bodies of four humanoids with large heads, long thin fingers, inflated overalls with “pins” and helmets. The object was apparently radioactive. The craft was then delivered to a secret scientific space center in Camaguey and was stored under a metal sheet and apparently still stored there today.
