1967: April UFO & Alien Sightings
Date: early April 1967
Location: Moulton Iowa
Time: evening
Summary: Jimmy D and his wife, a young farm couple, were driving home when they saw 3 strange men standing in a ploughed field; as they approached, these figures literally faded from sight. The couple, perplexed, turned around and drove back past the site, this time observing 7 men, who likewise disappeared from view. Later in the evening the couple saw an object, or something “like a dust cloud” coming from the same field that frightened so they fled to town where they stayed for the next several days.

SJAELLANDS ODE (SJAELLAND : DENMARK)
Two boys, who had been playing by a haystack, were about to go home, when they observed a dark grey object in the sky. The boy who had first seen it thought it was a waterspout and ran home. His braver companion hid in a ditch and continued to observe it. He saw it descend, slowing down quickly as three legs were lowered through the bottom. It looked as if it were going to land, but when the object got within 1m of the ground the legs were retracted and the object accelerated out to sea over the Kattegat strait, When it was over the shore some objects like boxes were thrown out. The object then made a turn over the sea, and a sort of box or hamper was lowered from it, suspended on the end of a thick flexible cable. Eight persons then emerged from an opening in the craft, and climbed down the cable into the box. The beings seemed to be carrying instruments resembling binoculars or cameras. Four of the beings smiled at the boy and gestured to him, holding their palms vertically and making quick horizontal movements. The object moved away, making a sound the hum of a battery operated tape recorder. The beings were quite small, one wore a blue suit, the others striped ones, and all wore stripped caps. Apart from the being dressed in blue, they all had containers on their backs, from which tubes led to their mouths. On their shoulders they had what looked like electric torches with lights at both ends. One of the boxes dumped on the shore was later picked up. It was a lump of material which included, according to those who analysed it, inorganic coal (sic?) and lime.

Evening. A couple saw an object with a short cylindrical body, dome-shaped top, and flat bottom (turret shape). The top glowed blue-green, sides white, and bottom red. The object had a semi-circle of white body lights that suddenly glowed and blinked around the upper rim. It performed various maneuvers, once apparently splitting in two and rejoining. Eventually it sped up and crossed the road in front of the car. (Moberly Monitor-Index and Evening Democrat, 7/14/67, copy in NICAP files.)

HARRISBURG (PENNSYLVANIA : USA)
Three youngsters on Lingletown Road nearly panicked when an object, 10-15m diameter ,dropped soundlessly out of the sky and hovered less than 15m above them. It had an orange glow, surrounded by a halo which changed from yellow to blue and back. From the side of the thing two antennae were protruding. This object projected a ray of light; thin at each end, thick in the middle, which attached itself to some power lines. The children’s screams alerted a neighbour who arrived just in time to see the object take off vertically, leaving a vapour trail.

Summary: Jean Sheldon was out driving in a rural area and had stopped for a breath of air, when she saw a 50 ft disc surmounted by a glowing red dome. It descended, and an opening appeared in the underside, through which she was levitated on board. Here she encountered three naked male humanoids with green eyes. They told her they wanted to mate and she had “very exciting” sex with them for over an hour. Although this was supposed to indicate they were biologically compatible, Jean did not become pregnant.

Mrs Harrison was sat on her sofa, alone in the house, when, through the window, she observed an object heading west-east below treetop level. It was the shape of two dustbin lids stuck together and of a beige-brown colour. The object was flying slower than an aircraft and had two lights. It then tilted to the south east, showing a third light and a white substance around its underside. The thing was about 1m diameter. The lights were white and green. Numerous other people saw the object at higher altitude, including James Doran (18) who took a photograph.

Summary: The witness, Shane Sia or Kurz who had been seeing UFOs maneuvering over the area for the past several nights, had gone to bed after seeing another object. She suddenly felt paralyzed and next thing she remembers is being awakened by a bright light outside her window and a loud humming sound. Her next memory is waking up with her foot covered with mud, her eyes swollen shut, and a triangular shaped burn mark on her abdomen. Later under hypnosis she remembered being somehow taken into an egg shaped gray metallic craft with lights around a revolving rim. She found herself inside an octagon shaped room with lights that seemed to emanate from all around her. She was then placed on a black slab like table and is unable to move. Later she sees a being with an oval shaped face; very light skin and large black almond shaped eyes. The being apparently communicates by using telepathy and tells the witness that she would not be harmed.

7:45 p.m. EST. A justice of the peace saw a dark-colored disc, estimated to be 30 feet across, that flew over his vehicle at an altitude of about 30 feet, then stopped and hovered to one side. When over the vehicle, it looked as if it had lights behind painted black glass. The object emitted sparks, had a humming sound like an electric motor which grew louder as the object left, and had a sulfur/camphorated oil odor. When the object left at tremendous speed, the car felt pulled toward it (gravitational effect) and then was rocked. The witness had physiological effects. (Keyhoe and Lore, 1969b, p.1; U.F.O.

CHERRY CREEK (BRITISH COLUMBIA : CANADA)
Mrs Dauncey, driving with her children down Buckhorn Road, was forced to brake by a blinding light, which silhouetted the area with a lime green glow. A sphere of intense light, 75cm diameter, descended close to the car bonnet. This light was slightly flattened at the top and bottom and in the centre was a luminous metallic looking band. The thing emitted two vapour trails, 10cm wide, about 45cm apart to one side of the object’s underside. Soon after she stopped, this sphere rose above a large tree, flattening out more as it did so. Two lights, one white, the other red, flashing on and off approached the sphere three times and then backed away. After the sphere had risen a certain distance the vapour trails stopped and at the same time sparks came from the centre of its base. When the object began to move west, Mrs Dauncey turned her car round to follow it but when the condition of the road forced her to turn back, the thing followed them. When she stopped the car, the object stopped with a sudden rocking motion and then moved off to the north, growing smaller in the distance.

Summary: UFO Phenomenon in Puerto Rico APRO’S Representative in Puedo Rico, Sebastian Robiou L., recently sent Headquarters his full .reports on several investigations into UFO incidents on that Caribbean island. Below are summaries of two of his reports. The latest incident took place between ll and l1:15 a.m, (local time) on the 6 of April, 1967, near Tortuguero, while two Cessna 150 aircraft were flying under unlimited visibility conditions. Aircraft A contained a flight instructor, whose name cannot be published, and flight student Alvaro Munoz. The names of the instructor and student aboard aircraft B cannot be published. Aircraft A and B were flying in formation at 3,000 feet in an east-northeast direction, north of Vega Baja, on the nodh coast of Puerto Rico- Aircraft A was slightly ahead and 1,000 feet above aircraft B. Wh e student Munoz was practicing “blind flying,” his instructor observed an unidentified object behind and below aircraft B. He called the pilot of aircraft B, who then commenced a l80o turn, at which the UFO dropped sharply (estimated about 200 feet above sea level and passed under aircraft b without the pilot seeing it . Aircraft A continued its normal route and the pilot observed the UFO pass him on the north side, He pointed the object out to Munoz, who exclaimed (in Spanish): “My God! That’s a flying saucer!” The pilot then told Munoz not to loose sight of the object while he piloted the Cessna.Munoz got a good look at it as it passed on their north side, about 1,500 feet below them, while the pilot was attempting a tum to brine the object closer, The descending turn increased the speed of the Cessna F tom 90 mph to l4o mph, while the UFO appeared to be moving at least double their speed. The pilot of Aircraft A leveled the Cessna out and the UFO made a sudden 90o turn without any pre-deceleration and disappeared. The pilot of aircraft B was meanwhile terminating his tum: neither the pilot or the student aboard a lcmft B saw the UFO, The total sighting lasted between 15 and 20 seconds The. he two witnesses aboard atcraft A described the UFO as “oval, not round” and with a dull-white, metal color, Comparing its approximate size to the Cessna B, the UFO was estimated to be 60 feet long (3 times that of a Cessna 150). It had an apparent size of 8 inches at arm’s length. The two witnesses did not observe any other structural details on the object but they described it as” solid” and following “intelligent maneuvers, not erratic.” Upon landing at San Juan, Munoz called his wife to tell her about the sighting, which she confirmed to Representative Rabiou. Munoz, who is now a flight instructor with the Isla Grande Flying School and Service Corp., says that the Federal Aviation Administ.ation (FAA) gathered data on the sighting after it happened, but stated that they had not tracked any unidentified object at the time. Representative Robiou, who calls this “one of the most interesting UFO cases in Puerto Rico,” notes that the pilot-instructor of Aircraft A does not want publicity; Munoz is more coopemtive. Neither took UFOs seriously before their observation. Mr. Robiou’s conclusion is: “If we accept the statements of the witnesses as true, as they seem to be, we cannot find any explanation within our frame of knowledge. The object seen by the witnesses deserves the title: Unidentified Flying Object.”

Robert Apfal, a teacher at Crestview Elementary School and six of his pupils in a mobile classroom looking north east spotted an aluminium coloured, slightly reflective ellipsoid resembling two lenses, back to back, with no surface details, apparently stationary about 10m above the ground, over a telephone pole about 1.5km away. As the group watched the object, the apparent size of a half dollar coin at arm’s length, just disappeared.

GALLIPOLLIS FERRY (WEST VIRGINIA : USA)
John Keel and Mary Hyre were on an isolated hilltop on Five Mile Creek Road, south of here when they observed a pale red light of indeterminate size moving in an apparently controlled manner just above the treetop level over a hill 500m south of their position. This light flickered as it moved. When Keel flashed at it with his flashlight, the object gave off a brilliant white flash apparently in response. It then rose upwards and went out.

Summary: Mabel McDaniel, John Keel, and two other women went to a hill, when they spotted the usual reddish glow on a nearby hill. A second one popped up a short distance from the first. Keel flashed his light at them but nothing happened. So he climbed a fence and walked into a field to try to get a closer look. As he crossed the field he suddenly noticed a pale bluish ball of light hovering high in the trees of an orchard behind the nearby farmhouse. The light moved about from tree to tee as though it were following Keel’s movements. He flashed his light at it and it flared with a dazzling brilliance, dimmed, and vanished. The lights on the southern ridge also brightened for a moment and then went out. Coming back to the car, Keel found all three women in a very frightened state. Later they related how they had seen a very tall man in the field, which climbed over a fence then crossed behind their vehicle. Terrified they locked the doors and ran the windows up.

Children at the Elementary School and many adults saw three cigar shaped objects, one white, one red and one black. One of the objects appeared to land behind some trees before taking off again, another travelled across the sky in an undulating fashion while the third appeared to pursue an airplane. Later that morning a group of 30-40 people including painter John Wolff and his children, saw a group of domed objects on which no detail could be seen. When planes approached these domes just seemed to vanish and there appeared to be an air of unreality about these objects. It was estimated that there were up to 300 witnesses in the three day complex according to some reports, including teachers Mrs Martin and Miss Marianne Waters.

5km west of St Louis the manager of a local aerospace firm and 7 members of his family were having a back yard cook out when an object descended onto an open clay pit about 250m away. Another object stationed itself at treetop level and a third at about 600m altitude. In the remaining daylight the witnesses could see that the objects were metallic looking, disc shaped and about 15m diameter. They hovered for about 30 minutes, pulsating with a high intensity white light. The pulsation was separate for each object and they reflected off one another. Just after dark the objects rose vertically, one at a time, constantly increasing in acceleration until they were out of sight, a process which took only 2-3 seconds.

BANNER ELK (NORTH CAROLINA : USA)
Four students at Lees McRae College (Rod Mittrell, Eldie McGowan, Ken Davis and Mary Casey) were in a car on a double date near the Highland Games field, Grandfather Mountain, about 13km from Banner Elk when they noticed a green fluorescent light on the ground near a clump of trees 60m away. Suddenly their car engine failed and could not be restarted and the car radio became filled with static, like the sound of an electrical metre. The students pushed the car back to the main road where they were able to get it started. The object then moved towards their car, veered away suddenly and disappeared in a valley near the field. The next morning they found on the ground, under an opening in the trees, three circular imprints about 15 cm diameters, 5cm deep, each 90cm apart, forming an equilateral triangle as if a heavy object with tripod legs had landed there. The students were of excellent character.

Thorsten Lindmark was driving his car close to his home when he suddenly felt a powerful wind against the vehicle. At the same time he noticed two round, luminous multi-coloured objects, 1.3m long, 20cm thick and 15m altitude. The objects moved towards the east at great speed. Thorsten hurried home and his wife could see the objects in the distance. The next day Thorsten went to the site where he found small fir twigs laid out in belt 50m long, and several metres wide, pointing in the same direction as the object’s flight path. Meteorologists rejected the idea of a self-luminous whirl wind.

Dusk. Confirmed by MUFON Field Investigator and State Section Director Eldon E. Ervin. A building contractor, his wife and three children were traveling east on Interstate 80 when the wife first noticed a bright object to the north, just north of the intersectio of U.S. Highway 80 and Nebraska Highway 281 and adjacent to a Drive-In theatre. The observers stopped the car, got out, and watched for 15-20 minutes while the object fluttered across the Cornhusker Ordinance Plant some 3 miles west of the theatre. At times the object wobbled as low as 40 feet from the ground. Later it disappeared to the north. The family drove as far north as Silber Creek but could not sight it again. Upon returning to their home, they called the Grand Island Weather Bureau. They were told an investigator would be out in the morning, but none appeared. The local police were also called, but no one came to investigate. (Credit: Elmer A. Krai, State Director for Nebraska)

The object looked like plastic and had vertical risers evenly spaced around a “conning tower.” A bright curved surface appeared to be hanging from a “brim which extended from rim to rim” of what looked like a “top hat.” The object hovered, moved slowly against the wind, passing directly overhead, hovered over lava beds where it emitted two fireballs with sparkles, then two more a few minutes later. Finally it went dark and disappeared. (Ricks letter, NICAP files; The U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. IV, No. 1, May-June 1967, p. 1.)

Summary: Two young boys saw a dark gray object overhead; one ran home, the other hid in a ditch. The object descended and put out three legs as if to land, then retraced them and moved out over the Kattegat; as it passed over the shore, it threw out some “boxes.” Hovering low over the water, the object lowered a box, or car on an arm thick cable, and 8 small humanoid figures emerged from the large object and descended on the cable. They were the same size as the boy and all but one wore striped suits and had scuba like packs on their backs form, which tubes led to their mouths; the eight occupants wore a blue uniform and had no pack. They all wore striped caps and had lights on their shoulders, and carried objects like binoculars or cameras. They waved to the boy before the object disappeared. On the shore was later found a lump of strange material, which was analyzed and found to be an unprecedented mixture of substances.

Thinking it was a fire Galimberti stopped the train and both armed with fire extinguishers attempted to approach the area. As they approached the area they saw what appeared to be multicolored lights moving around in a circular motion, both then observed behind the light what appeared to be a square metallic object over 3 meters in width and about the same in height. It had several lighted windows around its edge. At the front it had what appeared to be a “rotating wheel” that emitted multicolored flashes of light. Around the object several short humanoid figures were walking about. These were wearing silvery gray shiny uniforms, appeared to be bareheaded and appeared to be carrying what resembled a “rifle” or weapon on their shoulders. At one point the witnesses used the train horn to observe any reaction from the figures but there was none. Another railway employee, Salvador Pomidoro reported seeing the square metallic object on the ground in the same location about 15 minutes before.

Summary:Two businessmen were driving with their wives about 16km south of Ephrata when they encountered a very bright light on the road, several kilometres ahead. The driver speeded up to view this at closer quarters but then had to brake to avoid a collision. As the light became clear to them, it went out and then reappeared as a dull amber light to their left, switched off again and then appeared behind the, white again. The light followed closely as the driver attempted to speed up the car, which began to splutter and lose power though it did not stop. As oncoming traffic appeared from Ephrata, the thing ascended into the sky. The white light appeared to come from objects resembling car head lights, each giving off a shaft of very bright light on an elliptical object, which appeared lensed shape at close quarters. When the sheriff’s deputy investigated he found the witnesses badly shocked. He also found a teardrop shaped sticky spot on the highway about 5m at the longest dimension, with the point turned towards the side of the road. It looked like either fresh oil or as though the asphalt had recently been very hot.

Summary: While driving home from work, Charles D, saw a large round, blue white-lighted object descend to earth in a wooded area. After arriving home, he notified the sheriff’s office, and drove back to the site with his wife and children, and accompanied by the deputy sheriff. While Mrs Scott and the children waited in the car, the witness and the officers searched the wooded area, becoming separated. Although the deputy found nothing, the witness encountered a craft resting on small legs in a marshy area; standing beside it was a medium sized man. The witness called out, “Hello,” but received no response; he repeated the greeting and this time received a mental impression of the warning, “Get away from here!” He turned and fled to his car, badly frightened and in an agitated state; at home, when he told his wife about the encounter, he was unable to account for his great alarm.

MONROE (NORTH CAROLINA : USA)
Dennis Whitley was driving home from a church meeting when he observed a large white light, shaped like an umbrella with crystals on top, above the road ahead. He signalled to it by blinking his lights, whereupon the thing began to follow the car at speeds up to 80kph, turning orange and coming closer, as if to land. It followed the twists and turns of the road. When Dennis got home, his mother also saw the object, which hovered near their house for 30 minutes. Neighbour George Hilton and his wife also saw the object as they left the Celanese Plant in Little Rock.

11:25 a.m. LT. A Coast Guard Station was alerted to a bright object in the sky and viewed it through 25x binoculars on a tripod. The object was stationary, revolving slowly. It was cone-shaped, pointed end up, and had a small triangular mark near the bottom, which had a crinkled appearance. A plane was seen to circle the object. More than an hour later, the object moved off slowly at a right angle to wind direction and disappeared into clouds. Possible radar detection.

WHALEBACK (WESTERN AUSTRALIA : AUSTRALIA)
Several times in April strange lights and objects were seen by Mr Harris and Ian McGregor, drillers at Mt Newman camp, about 5.5km, south of Whaleback. On this night they drove towards the airstrip 13km away. About 1km south of the airstrip, in the bush, they saw a bright haze which turned into an inverted cone of light, followed by an orange discoid object that rose vertically and then turned onto its edge and came towards them. They flashed their headlights, whereupon the thing stopped, reversed and landed in the same spot as before. Their compasses would not function in the area, though they did not see the object again that day.
