Tres Lomas (Argentina). Two hunters saw a diskshaped
object resting on the ground 150 m away. It
looked like an aluminum craft about 2.5 m high, with
a dome on top. Grass flattened. (Challenge 53)
The Willows (South Africa). A civilian woman observed
a saucer-shaped object hovering 5 m above
ground. It was bathed in an orange glow, similar to
that of a dying fire. It flew away horizontally and was
lost to sight behind a hill. (FSR 59, 6)
Boianai (New Guinea). Many witnesses, among
them Fr. W. B. Gill, head of a local mission, saw an
orange object that hovered in mid-air. Four engines
were visible on its "deck" and a beam of blue light
was emitted upward from it. The object did not come
to ground level, but its position above the ocean was
almost on a level with the observers standing on the
hill. (123; Anatomy 145)
Blenheim (New Zealand). Mrs. Moreland saw a diskshaped
object as she was milking cows. It was about
10 m diameter, had two intense, green lights and two
rows of jets around the rim, emitting orange flames.
Inside a glass dome on top were two men dressed in
aluminumlike suits. The craft did not land, but took
off at great speed with a high-pitched sound. Heat
sensation. (124; Challenge 24)
Prince of Wales Island (Australia). Hunters reported
the landing of a red object on the island. Other hunters
saw a similar object near Karumba Lodge. (123)
Sombrero (Tierra del Fuego). Mr. Uribe, a petroleum
engineer, and two other witnesses had to stop when
they ran out of fuel; they observed a light swinging
like a pendulum, coming close to the ground. It ;ip
peared as a large, vertical, egg-shaped object which
made a "whooshing" sound. Closest approach w:is

120 m. Estimated height: 2 m; width, 1.5 m. When
Uribe aimed a rifle at the object, it went out of sight
within seconds. (Lor. Ill 14)
Brion (Spain). A 60-year-old farmer saw an eggshaped
object come down at high speed and land in
a pasture near a river. Then it took off vertically and
flew away toward Santiago. Traces. Engine noise, not
similar to helicopter. (Personal)
Freeport (Texas), A bright, flying object passed low
over a car, whose engine stalled, and landed in a
wooded area. Six witnesses in two separate groups
observed the object, and the police were called. The
dense underbrush prevented investigation of the site.
(APRO Sept., 59)
Werdehl-Eveking (Germany). Near Hagen, Lutz
Holtmann went toward a bright object in a forest,
and fainted when he got close to it. When he regained
consciousness, he saw it take off silently and
vertically. It was round, had a tripod landing gear,
two rows of bright openings, and was about 30 m in
diameter. (Nachrichten Oct., 59)
Wallingford (Kentucky). A bluish, disk-shaped object
was observed at ground level by a mail carrier. It suddenly
went away horizontally, leaving a stained ring
on the ground. (NICAP Nov., 59)
Glenora (Canada). Approximate date. Miss G. Wilson,
14, was out riding a horse when a luminous object
dived toward her, and she rushed home in fear. Her
father came out and saw the object, which he described
as orange and making a "painful" sound. (125)
Fort William (Canada). On the Trans-Canada Highway
west of this town, four hunters (Douglas Robinson,
Ray Disguiseppe, Victor Arnone and John Defilippo,
of Port-Arthur) saw an oval, luminous object
