A strange object hovered low over the house of Mr.
Lucas and left straight up. (4)
Lugrin, near Thonon (France). Elise Blanc approached
an object looking like an aluminum trailer
with two small beings in silvery dress, grunting like
pigs, standing close by. The craft took on a fiery color
and flew away. (Challenge 129)
Boston Creek (Canada). A wingless flying object was
seen by Bill Supa, an employee of the Caswell Construction
Co. It landed about 2 km way from the
witness, who approached within 300 m before it took
off and flew away. Grass was flattened where it had
landed. (Wilkins U 227)
Quebec (Canada). Two boys saw a craft land and
two or three men come out. No details given. (Constance
277)
North Bay (Canada). Sgt. Durdle saw a brilliant,
circular object flying across Lake Nipissing toward the
Royal Canadian Air Force base. An oblong canister
was hanging down from a central section, which supported
a long cone with a spinning globe on top.
When it tilted, the witness was able to observe
regulatorlike devices inside the machine through a
vertical lighted slit. Six brilliant appendages, which
looked like necklaces, were hanging from the craft.
Durdle woke up four Air Force men, who observed
the object spiraling away. (Wilkins U 227)
Souk-el'Khemis (Tunisia). Many workers in the fields
12 km south of the town saw an object apparently
made of transparent plastic fly over the houses, stop
on edge, and swing like a pendulum a few meters
above the ground. It made several erratic jumps, then
resumed its horizontal position and flew away. (5)
Harponville (France). Between Ilarponville and
Contay, two bricklayers, Kmilc Renard, 27, and Yves

Degillerboz, 23, saw an object floating in mid-air
over a field: "It looked like an unfinished haystack,
with a plate turned upside down on top of it." When
they approached, it took off. Diameter 10 m, height 3
m. A kind of door was noticed. The observation lasted
over 3 min. The object released smoke when it departed.
(6; M 35)
Mourieras (France). A farmer, Mr. Mazaud, was
walking home when he was suddenly confronted with
a helmeted being of average height who made friendly
gestures, then went back into the brush, entered a
cigar-shaped object about 4 m long, which took off
toward Limoges. A few minutes later, witnesses in
Limoges reported a disk-shaped, red object leaving a
bluish trail. (7;M40)
Quaroublc (France). A metal worker, Marius Dewilde,
34, came out of his house as a dog was barking
and saw a dark object on the railroad tracks, then
observed two dwarfs walking toward it. When he
tried to stop them, he found himself paralyzed as a
strong orange light was projected at him. The creatures
were under 1 m tall, bulky, and wore dark diving suits.
No faces or arms were visible. Traces made by an
object of estimated weight 30 tons were noted by
French Air Force and police on the ballast. (8; M 44;
Magonia)
Coldwater (Kansas), John f. Swain, 12, was driving
a tractor back from the fields when he saw a small
man no bigger than a 5-year-old child a few meters
away from him, He had a long nose and long ears and
seemed to "fly" when he moved toward a saucershaped
craft hovering less than 2 m above ground. It
"opened up" and the creature "popped inside." The
craft became luminous and went out of sight. Strange
traces were found by police. The creature was dressed
in shiny clothes, and his shoes seemed to have "fins."

pointed cars. (9; llumanoids 53; Wilkins U 239)
