10:00 PM+. Two local militia sergeants were driving a "UAZ-469" vehicle (Russian patrol jeep) in an area about 10-15 kilometers from the city when suddenly they saw a very bright beam of light shining down to earth from somewhere in the sky. The beam of light appeared to be scanning the surface of the ground, and every blade of grass appeared to be lit by it. One of the sergeants went out of the vehicle and at the very same moment a strange flying craft landed on a field. The craft was shaped like a lenticular disk with bright white rectangular-shaped windows or portholes, which emitted bright whitish light and a small shallow dome on top. The craft's diameter was estimated at about 120 meters and about 70 meters high. Several seconds later a hatch opened on the hull of the craft and several tall (about 3-4 meters in height) humanoids exited the object and went to a nearby field. After walking for a while around the craft they returned inside the craft and flew away. Both sergeants then became very confused and forgot why and where they were. They hurried back to their barracks reporting to their superiors. The men could only speak in stuttering voices. At first they were subjected to alcohol tests but it proved negative, both were then sent to a mental hospital. (HC addendum.

At night, two witnesses, Fernando Antonio Martins & Edson Maragon watched a luminous triangular shaped craft land on an open field. Three humanoids exited the object. These were described as about 1.90 meters in height, slim waists, thin bodies, white oval shaped faces, pointed chins, small noses and eyes a little larger than normal. The humanoids approached the witness and there was a one-hour time lapse reported. No other information. (HC addendum Source: GEPUC Brazil)

Night. The witness was traveling in her car when she suddenly lost control of the steering. She felt her vehicle being pulled by an unknown force towards a light that was hovering at tree top level straight ahead. She felt as if the car was floating. Soon she found herself in a clearing in a wooded area. Nearby sat a silvery metallic disc resting on three legs. A light shone on her and she sees folding steps descend from the object. She is drawn into the craft and through several rooms until she reaches a platform, made out of padded white silver chrome and lays down on it. Half a dozen men then appear; these are described as six-foot one inch tall, well built, long blond hair, high cheekbones, and blue eyes. They wore tight-fitting brown jumpsuits with matching shoes and belt, with a pale yellow stole draped over one shoulder. They also displayed a winged emblem on the chest area resembling a "hawk-eagle" head in center and wings on each side. She is then led out to the door and suddenly finds herself in her car. She then sees a craft taking off emitting a loud whistling sound. (HC addition # 1362 Source: Linda Moulton Howe Glimpses of Other Realities, Volume I)

3:30 AM. The witness had gone outside to investigate a commotion among his dogs and cats and saw two lights descend from the sky and land. He approached with his car but the vehicle stalled. He approached on foot holding a flashlight and encountered a five-foot six-inch tall man dressed in a silvery coverall with a hood. The being communicated with the witness using telepathy and told him that, humans should use "atomic" power. A beam from the object slightly burned the witness. The being then re-entered the craft and it took off. Mental images of pyramids remained in the witness mind.

21:57 GMT.  Five Chinese Air Force pilots were on patrol over north China’s military frontier. Jet fighter’s electrical systems malfunctioned; communications and navigation systems failed. Suddenly a pilot encountered a UFO of a milky yellowish-green luminous color, about the size of the full moon.  The radio compass instead of giving the direction of the tracking station direction gave a direction 30° on his right.

June 27, 1982; Bell Bay, Tasmania, Australia
About 4:30 PM local time. A man, aged 40, was on board an Ansett 727 aircraft inbound into Launceston, Tasmania. Looking down at a 30 degree angle, he saw a spherical shape, with no wings or lights, moving at the same speed as the aircraft. The sun, breaking through clouds, clearly illuminated it. Its colour was described as metallic. It then moved upwards and to the north, and was last seen, to the rear of the aircraft. (Source: Examiner (Launceston)  newspaper dated July 7, 1982.)

A lone witness reported seeing a 15-meter diameter disc-shaped object hovering at about 100 meters from the ground. The craft appeared metallic, resembling two plates placed together. Through an apparent opening he saw several short helmeted humanoids moving about in stiff mechanical movements resembling those of robots.

Evening. A man driving around dusk on the I90 road saw an object hovering above the tree line. The craft was wedge shaped and triangular from below. It seemed to taper up to 12 foot high. There was silver or metallic globe shaped device on the bottom, which resembled a convex department store security mirror. His vehicle engine ran rough then stalled, and the lights inside flashed as the object approached. He could see a large window in the top of the object. He was then able to see two figures that seemed clothed in silver like material. These were engaged in rapid, jerky activities, and seemed to be manipulating unseen controls inside the object. The object had red/white and green lights and seemed to pulse with a dull purplish brown color on the bottom. The object moved silently always at about 20 mph and was lost from sight. There was a second witness inside the vehicle. (HC addition # 2618 Source: Andy Page)

3:00 AM. After watching a bright maneuvering light over the farm the witness was awakened by the sound of the cattle bellowing nervously. Looking out the window he was able to see glowing green colored disc shaped craft hovering above the barnyard. On the ground below several small shadowy figures could be seen moving around. Suddenly thee of the short figures appeared at the bedroom door. The witness and his wife after initial panic were overcame by a feeling of peach and tranquility. The beings took the witnesses by their hands and led them to the hovering disc shaped object at the orchard. A stairway descended silently to the ground and both witnesses entered the dimly lit interior of the object. One of them was asked to lie down on a large white ivory-like stone, manacles clamped themselves on her wrists and ankles, and she was unable to move. An entity described as feminine shorter than the rest, with larger eyes and pointed nose, fuller lips stood around to watch. The feminine being removed the witness gown and began emitting humming musical sounds. The witness then remembers a syringe being inserted in her abdomen and then several samples of skin, hair, and blood were taken. The husband remembers being taken into a small cubicle where two short beings gave him a vial of green liquid to drink. He began feeling very hot and proceeded to attain an uncontrolled erection, once this occurred the beings clamped a mechanical suction cup around his penis and extracted semen. The witnesses then remember waking up in their bedroom in the morning (HC addition # 1095 Source: Brad Steiger, "The UFO Abductors")

8:00 PM. Ten witnesses of a deltoid object with no sound. (IUR-8,1)

Oct. 4, 1982; Soviet Ukraine
6:00 p.m. A huge UFO of perfect geometrical shape and 900 meters in diameter hovered over a nearby ballistic missile base. Numerous eyewitnesses confirmed the sighting. So did Lt. Colonel Vladimir Plantonev, a missile engineer. According to him the UFO was a noiseless, disc-shaped craft; it had no portholes, its surface completely even. It made turns, like an airplane would. The missile silo at the base contained a nuclear warhead pointed at the United States. Plantonev was in the bunker that fateful day in 1982. The room contained dual control panels for the missile, each of them hooked to Moscow. As the UFO hovered overhead, signal lights on both the control panels suddenly turned on, for a short period of time. The lights indicated that the missiles were preparing for launch. Moscow could have initiated such launch, by its transmission of special orders, but no order came from Moscow, and no one at the base pushed any buttons. For 15 long seconds the base simply lost control of its nuclear weapons. (Robert Hastings; ABC News)

4:00 PM. Cube-shaped object tumbles across sky while being pursued by two military jets. Any sound masked by jets. (MUJ-189)

8:00 PM  A large dull grey triangular shaped object with a humming sound came slowly from the southeast, flew over witnesses in yard of rural home, paused to hover in the northeast over a 10 foot tree, then moved out of sight in the northeast. Witnesses saw red light on each corner of object and convex bottom on object. P. Kearney (Worley files)

9:20 GMT ? Pilot & student pilot in a single-engine Cherokee 140 just after reaching their cruising altitude of 2,300 ft (above ground level), on a 240° course encountered an object first thought to be a malfunctioning parachute. What happened after that is described in startling detail in the report linked above. At one point, the UAO flicked across their nose, veering to its left and missing the aircraft's right wing tip by no more than 10 feet. At the instant that it passed, the vortex hit them so hard that the plane’s airframe groaned in protest, and the altimeter "went wacky". It continued to curve to the left, back on what appeared to be its original heading of 355°, still accelerating, and eventually beginning to climb until it finally disappeared into the distance haze. At no time during the encounter had the UFO shown any sort of exhaust trail. (From the International UFO Reporter, CUFOS, May-June 1983; Haines Case 50)
