2:00 AM.  Barbara Warmoth was asleep when a brilliant light filled her bedroom. She looked out the window and spotted a luminous disc-shaped craft hovering nearby. That is the last she remembered for one hour and 15 minutes. She remembered communicating with a humanoid being via telepathy. No other information.

9:15 PM. 41-year old Juan Fattorel was traveling in his truck along a secondary road when suddenly the engine cut out; he coasted to a stop on the side of the road in order not to block any incoming traffic. He suddenly heard a loud buzzing sound that appeared to come from somewhere to his left and close in proximity. When he looked to the left side of the road he saw an object hovering over the ground about 10 meters away. At that moment his eyesight seemed to become blurry. The craft was about 2 meters in height and about 1.5 m in width, and hovered about 1 meter from the ground, balancing itself with short ascending and descending movements. The craft was silvery in opaque in nature. Suddenly and apparently coming from the craft, Fattorel heard a loud grave voice, aggressive in nature. It told him to step out of the truck. Afraid he refused to move thinking he was being robbed. As Fattorel attempted to start the vehicle he felt an intolerable pain in his neck and lost consciousness. Later he woke up lying on the ground unable to see clearly, with a buzzing sound in his ears and still feeling some pain in his neck. He staggered toward his vehicle and realized he had been unconscious for at least 20 minutes. A passing motorist picked him up. (HC addendum Source: Alejandro Chinetti, UFO Press # 15, January 1983)

Evening. A large disc with a dome on top flew over the witness's car and shone a beam of light onto the ground. The UFO came very near the ground and may have landed temporarily, then rose up and flew off over the witness's house and out of sight. The entire sighting lasted about five minutes.

1:45 PM. Three former Air Force pilots flying in a private corporate jet saw a ten foot diameter silver disc that flew within 25 feet of their left wingtip. They were flying close to Metter, Georgia at the time, 60 miles southwest of Allendale, South Carolina. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, March 1992, p. 17)

4:35 PM. Two uniformed officers, PS. Ian Victory and PC Anthony Underwood were driving a marked police vehicle when they observed a yellow lozenge shaped UFO in the sky. Stopping the vehicle they sat and watched it pass overhead. They saw red and blue flashing lights on the craft. The incident was believed to be subject of an investigation by the Ministry of Defence who admitted they had received a report about the officers sighting. The Superintendent for Milton Keynes police, John Burton, said of the officers, “These are two experienced officers and I have no reason to doubt their integrity.” ­ NL, on duty sighting. 2 officers.

Night. Nancy and her daughter were in a camping tent in Fey Canyon, her baby granddaughter was also with her. That night she saw a lighted disk and a small entity entered the tent and grabbed her arm. All three were abducted. She recalled that the entity spoke "inside her head" and that they were rearranging her molecular structure for the purpose of facilitating communication and travel. She does not recall what happened between the time she left the tent and returned. She has been involved in previous encounters. (HC addition # 2811 Source: Bill Hamilton)

4:30 AM. A lone witness out for an early morning walk spotted a large shiny silver oval shaped craft on the ground on a nearby field. Next to the object stood two short man-like figures, described as very thin, with long arms, and elongated egg shaped heads. They had no hair, had large pointy ears, small round eyes and barely noticeable noses and mouths. These wore snug fitting silvery outfits, with belts with what appeared to be a black belt buckle. They were carrying some type of flashlight like instrument in their hands. After about 15 minutes the two short humanoids apparently entered the object through an unseen aperture. The object then rose up and disappeared at high speed towards Odense. (HC addition # 3501 Source: SUFOI Newsletter # 9)

11:40 PM. A woman named Mary E. Boule saw a silent dome-shaped object near Plattsburgh Air Force Base. The object had a turquoise blue light on top and portholes. It flew low at 400-500 feet altitude, and definitely entered the air base's restricted air space. (Source: CUFOS files, letter from witness).

Night. During the war (Falkland Islands/Islas Malvinas conflict) several Argentine soldiers riding in a UNIMOG (Army) vehicle spotted several short man-like figures with large heads running towards a dark hovering disc shaped object. The craft hovered only a few cm from the ground. As the vehicle approached the object its engine began to sputter without any apparent cause. The humanoids then entered the craft via a luminous "shaft" of light, which slowly came out of the bottom of the craft. Seconds later a kind of hatch opened up and the humanoids entered the object, which immediately rose and disappeared into the distance.

A large, disc-shaped UFO was seen by the roadside in Turis, Spain. It perimeter was revolving and it appeared to be searching the area with beams of light. It rose up and flew away. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 13877).

9:30 PM. While driving home, a woman and several children observed a disc-shaped object with dome on top and blinking  red lights, and a row of rectangular windows on the side, hovering in the sky.  The object darted to one side, then rose , stopped again, and descended to its original position. The woman stopped the car and the object continued moving around, then accelerated, began revolving, and sped away at at upward angle. It had been visible for 7-8 minutes. (MUFON UFO sighting questionnaire.)

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)
