1978: UFO HOVERS OVER A
HOUSE IN BOLIVIA

On August 15, 1978, Roberto Rodriguez was asleep
in the guest room of his sister's house in Chacez, a
suburb of La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. Suddenly, he
was jolted awake by "a buzzing sound."

"I climbed from the bed and walked to the window,"
Rodriguez reported. "And there it was--it looked like
the fuselage of an airplane, but without wings or tail
assembly. It was of a silvery color--and spotlessly
clean, almost mirror-like. I saw no sign of life within
the portholes dotting the sides of the craft. The
entire craft gave off a sort of green light that pulsated,
and it was just hovering there, and the light seemed
to come from its underbelly."
"I was about the wake the rest of the household
and have them come to the window, to see this for
themselves, but it (the UFO) was gone in a flash."
After calming himself down, Rodriguez returned
to bed. He said nothing about his encounter until a
local newspaper reported that a woman in nearby
Villa Mercado had seen an identical UFO on
August 14, the night before his sighting.

1977: A PILOT VANISHES

The western end of Lake Ontario, now being
investigated by the Southern Ontario CSET
working group was the site of a baffling aircraft
disappearance nearly 20 years ago.
"On December 22, 1977, Craig Carlisle, an
American pilot, took off from the airport at
Oshawa, on the north side of Lake Ontario, in a
twin-engine Cessna, N404SA. His destination
was Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, by way of
Buffalo, New York, and the first leg of the flight
was over the western end of Lake Ontario."
"According to Major Al Ditter, spokesman for
the Canadian Forces Base at Toronto, the aircraft
left Oshawa at 9 p.m. and in less than half an hour
was at midpoint in its flight over the lake. At this
point, the controllers at Toronto's International
Airport handed control of this flight over to the
Buffalo controllers."
"However, there was a problem. The Buffalo
controllers could not find any such flight on their
radar screens and they informed Toronto Control
of this fact. When the Toronto controllers checked
their screens, they discovered that they too had
lost the aircraft's blip. In the minute or so it had
taken to transfer the flight, the plane had suddenly
vanished."
"After two days of searching this thirty-by-forty-
mile stretch of water without any success, the
search was called off...Aircraft number N404SA
had been added to the long list of others that
have mysteriously vanished without a trace."

1974:
THE BEIT BRIDGE ENCOUNTER or "Check the
Oil, Please."

One of the strangest UFO encounters in Africa took place on May 31, 1974 and involved a
couple, Peter and Frances MacNorman, who were driving from Salisbury, Rhodesia (now
Harare, Zimbabwe) to South Africa.

About 10 kilometers (6 miles) south of Umvuma, Peter thought he saw a man on the side of the
road. The entity vanished. Then, "at 2:30 in the morning (May 31, 1974), Frances saw a light off
to the left side of the vehicle apparently keeping pace with them. The car lights began to fade.
Other electrical equipment, such as the radio, was unaffected; all around them there was a light
bright enough to cast shadows. Both Peter and Frances felt remarkably cold and wrapped in
coats and blankets while they were driving."

"Peter was again driving fast, between 87-93 miles per hour (140-150 kmh) and he eased his foot
off the accelerator. Nothing happened! The car continued to move at full speed, without headlights
and completely out of Peter's control. He could not stop, brake, steer or in any way control the
car."

Just north of Port Victoria, Peter regained control of the Peugeot 404 and stopped at a gas station
at 4:30 a.m. After topping off the tank, they resumed their journey, heading for the Beit Bridge
over the Limpopo River.

"During this next leg of the drive, the couple thought they might be off course because of the
strange landscape around them, low bushes, high grasses, marshes and swamps...Yet again, Peter
completely lost control of the car now at a speed of something like 125 miles per hour (200
kmh)...The road from Fort Victoria to Beit Bridge is very curved and twisted, but that night it was
absolutely straight!"

Reaching the South African border, Peter and Frances were stunned to learn that it was 8:30 a.m.
Their watches and the Peugeot's dashboard clock both read 7:30 a.m. They had experienced an
hour of "missing time." The drive from Fort Victoria to the South African border station at Beit
Bridge is 179 miles (228 kilometers). After a drive like that, the Peugeot's gas tank should have
been nearly empty. Peter was stunned to find it still full. Even more amazing were the tires. Back in
Salisbury (Harare), Peter had mounted four worn retread Michelins on the car, figuring to buy four
new tires at a bargain price in South Africa. When he checked the tires at Beit Bridge, the
retreads were gone, replaced by four brand-new Michelin steel-belted radial tires.

Peter had no recollection of stopping and changing the tires along the way. Later, the couple
underwent hypnotic regression and told an incredible story of an alien "beaming into" the Peugeot's
back seat, and then the car being levitated into a large silver-gray saucer. Under hypnosis, Peter
claimed that he was "taken to Sickbay" aboard the saucer "for a medical exam" and saw his wife
and several other humans, both black and white, who appeared to be in a trance. As he was led
out of Sickbay, he saw the Peugeot in the saucer's "on-board hangar," parked between two small
silver discs.
The car's bonnet (hood) was up, and three or four large-headed occupants were giving the engine
a tune-up.

1974: UFO IN THE HIMALAYAS

On June 15, 1974, Tibetan mountain climber Keo
Wha Unan was inspecting a rock formation on the
upper slopes of Mount Dahjar in the Himalayas. As
he emerged from a cave, he "spotted a silvery disc
hovering behind a crest of high rocks."
"It was windowless," Keo reported. "Shiny,
silvery, spotless. There seemed to be no ridges or
protrusions on the craft. It was hovering 1.3 meters
(four feet) off the ground."
"Gathered about the strange UFO were three
humanoid figures," Keo said. "They seemed to be
gathering snow and ice particles and well as rocks
and putting these things in their ship."
"Within five minutes after my initial sighting,
they climbed aboard by means of a ladder-like
device that descended from the center of the thing
(saucer), and when they were inside, the machine
started to hum," he added. "It rose several more
feet into the air, and like a flash, shot straight up
and disappeared behind a variety of thick snow
clouds. It was the last I saw of it."

1972: UFO HOVERS OVER A
RANCH IN UTAH

"At first Lennis Gines didn't think much of the
blue and yellow lights in the field behind her
rural Summit County (Utah) home."
"It was a little too early--about 4:30 a.m.--
for teenage visitors. And the silent, rotating lights
weren't anywhere near the narrow country lane that
meandered past the family's two story home and
on to the Provo River."
"At that instant, on a pitch-black moonless morn
in the fall of 1972, Lennis Gines knew what it was like
to see a UFO."
"'If it hadn't gone up without a sound, I may have
convinced myself in my mind that it was just kids
driving around. But I know what I saw.'"
"Gines was soon joined by her teenage son Sam,
who was ready to round up the cows for milking.
Together they waited and watched in the dark for 45
minutes as the blue and yellow lights, some 150
yards to the east, cascaded across the river bottoms."
"Eventually Gines's 16-year-old decided he'd
waited long enough...Sam got no help from the family's
otherwise loyal cattle dog, who whimpered and ran
inside to hide." "'My boy gets in the truck and goes over, and he
said he could see a doorway, windows and shadows
going in and out,' Gines recalled this week, nearly
25 years after the event. 'It was like someone was
going in and out on the ground.'"
"'The cows were bunched together, he said, and
he had a hard time getting them out (of the field)
without the dog, but they did come down the road
and into the corral. The cows were nervous and
didn't give the milk they usually gave.'" "Gines, still frightened, helped her younger son,
Will, get dressed, then hustled to the barn to bring
Sam back to the house. But when she emerged
from the barn--the lights were gone--all except the
distant glimmer of daylight."

1967: ALIENS STOP CAR
IN ARGENTINA

Thirty years ago, in later September 1967, two
men, Carlos Peccinetti and Fernando Jose Villegas,
finished their shift at a casino and drove home. As
they drove down a deserted section of the Calle
Neuquen, they saw "a strange-looking machine, like
two inverted soup plates, hovering about three feet
over a vacant lot."
"At the same time, the car lights failed. A
powerful light came at an angle from the machine,
and, before they realized what was happening, three
bald-headed dwarves came gliding towards them,
and they found themselves unable to move. Two
more dwarves were seen near the five-foot-high craft."
Overwhelmed witha sudden fatigue, Peccinetti and
Villegas lost consciousness. When they woke up,
they found pinprick holes in their fingertips. The
aliens then gave the men a telepathic account of why
they were on Earth.
The aliens had come "to study the customs of the
inhabitants. They still had to learn one of our languages
and were acquainting themselves with life on Earth."
One of the aliens picked up a tool that "resembled
an electric welding torch, and dazzling sparks came
from its end." The alien then drew a space map on
the door of their 1929 Chevrolet.
Peccinetti recognized two of the symbols drawn
as the letter A and the math symbol for 'pi." When
he commented on that, an alien replied that
"Mathematics is the universal language."
"Shortly afterwards, the dwarves ascended
effortlessly up a beam of light into the machine.
There was an explosion, and the craft sped into the
sky with a great halo of light."
