Knoxville (Tennessee). 12-year-old Everett Clark
saw a strange object on the ground and four occupants,
two men and two women, who spoke a language
he thought was similar to German. They went
back to the craft in a manner the witness could not
understand, for he saw no door. (M 271; 114;
Magonia)
Everittstown (New Jersey). John Trasco saw a brilliant,
egg-shaped object hovering in front of a barn
and was confronted with a being 1 m tall with a
putty-colored face and frog-like eyes. He thought the
dwarf said in broken English: "We are peaceful
people; we only want your dog." The little man, who
was dressed in a green suit with shiny buttons, a green
tam-o-shanter-like cap, and gloves with a shiny object
at the tip of each finger, fled when the witness denied
his request. (Humanoids 56; Magonia)
Boerne (Texas). A civilian source reported an oval
object, about 5 m long, bright orange, similar to
glowing coals, hovering 4 m above ground. The witness
went to call his family; the object had vanished
when he returned. Unidentified. (Atic)
Baskatong Lake (Canada). 180 km north of Ottawa,
Jacques Jacobson and three of his friends saw a bright,
yellowish-white sphere hovering over a hilltop about
4 km away. From top and bottom issued light cones
that illuminated the countryside and the clouds.
Radio reception was blocked throughout the observation,
except for a very powerful signal at one wavelength,
modulated, but not in Morse code. The object
rose slowly toward the south. (M 249)
Montville (Ohio). Olden Moore, 28, a plasterer, was
driving home when he suddenly saw an object look :
ing like a bright meteor split into two pieces, one of

its color changed from bright white to blue-green. It
hovered 60 m above a field and came to the ground
with a soft whirring sound, 150 m away. After observing
it for 15 min, Moore then walked to the object,
which he found to be shaped like "a covered dish"
15 m in diameter, 5 m high, with a cone on top about
3 m high, surrounded by haze or fog, pulsating slowly.
Holes, footprints and radioactivity were found at the
site by Civil Defense Director Kenneth Locke. (M

Meridian (Mississippi). Truck driver Malvin Stevens,
48, was driving to Memphis when, about 23 km
northwest of Meridian, he saw an object which appeared
to have two propellers at either end and a
third one on top. Getting out of his truck, he saw
three little men about 1.30 m tall, in gray clothes,
with "pasty white faces" that seemed friendly and
willing to talk, but he was unable to understand their
"chattering." "I stood there for what seemed like an
eternity." They got back into the machine and it
took off straight up. There was no ignition interference.
An 8-year-old girl from Honse independently
reported a round object crossing the sky toward the
south. (M 273; 115)
Edinburgh (Scotland). Fourteen people, including
Mrs. Maty Home, reported to police that a diskshaped
object followed their truck, dived toward it,
came within 20 m of them, then left toward the sea,
leaving a double vapor trail. (Round-up 217; 116)
Sloanville (New York). A cigar-shaped object 70 m
long was observed less than 7 m above ground. (M
264; 117)
Holly (West Virginia). Hank Mollohan and eight
other persons saw an elongated object, 12 m long,
with several portholes from which fire and smoke
appeared to be coming. It swung at low altitude and
