1989 Nov 30 - The Manhattan/Brooklyn Bridge Linda Cortile/Napolitano Abduction. US33

Manhattan, New York

... Linda Napolitano, aliased as Cortile, claimed to UFO researcher/Psychiatrist Bud Hopkins, that on November 30, 1989, she was abducted by grey aliens who floated her from a closed bedroom window into a hovering UFO which was above her Manhattan apartment at about 3:00am. More than a year after the experience, Hopkins received mail correspondence from two witnesses, known as Richard and Dan, who, claiming initially to be police officers, claimed to have witnessed the abduction. Agreeing perfectly with Linda's account of the abduction, the two men turned out to be more than merely police officers. They were in fact CIA agents and bodyguards of Javier Perez de Cuellar, former Secretary General of the United Nations, who was allegedly visibly shaken by the scene. What the CIA agents saw that night would have a deep impact on them. They would become irrational and psychotic, and one of them would become to think of Linda as having some unusual, extraordinary power or influence on others and he began to stalk her. On April 29, 1991 they kidnapped Linda, bundled her into their car in broad daylight and quizzed her for three hours. Dan became increasingly upset with Linda as she reiterated that she had no idea why it the abduction had happened. Linda would be kidnapped a second time by the men who tried to pry information from her, thinking she had a part in the alien abduction herself, which brought them into the case involuntarily. One of the agents, Richard, stated: "There was an oval-shaped object hovering over the top of the apartment building two or three blocks up from where we sat. We didn't know where it came from. It happened too fast. Its lights turned from a bright reddish orange to a whitish blue coming out of the bottom. Green lights rotated round the edge of the saucer. A little girl or woman wearing a white gown sailed out of the window in a fetal position - and then stood in mid-air in this beam of light. I could see three of the ugliest creatures I ever saw. I don't know what they were. They weren't human. Their heads were out of proportion, very large heads with no hair. Those buggers were escorting her into the craft. My partner screamed, 'We have got to get them.' We tried to get out of the car but couldn't. After the woman was escorted in, the oval turned reddish orange again and whisked off." Additional eyewitnesses came forward. One witnesses thought she ws watching the filming of a scene from an upcoming Sci-fi film. In a recent French magazine, La Gazette Forteenne, Issue # 2, 2003, Linda mentions a New York Post truck driver who saw the abduction from the Brooklyn Bridge, and that people witnessed a small traffic jam on the intersection between South Street and Catherine Slip the at the same time. UFO Magazine published “The Day Manhattan Stood Still” (Oct-Nov. 2002), bringing forth more witnesses and evidence. Apparently, dozens of workers of the New York Post witnessed the event, and allegedly residual physical trace evidence points to at least four workers being taken that morning for about 30-40 minutes.

1987 May 26 - Policeman Photos UFO US32

Etting, State Police, Waterbury, 9:30 PM, Connecticut

Randy Etting, a resident of Newtown, was taking a walk outside his home. A commercial airline pilot with over 30 years experience, he always looked at the sky. He saw a number of orange and red lights approaching from the west. He got his binoculars and called his neighbors to come outside. The object by this time was a great deal closer and seemed to be over I-84, just east of Etting's home. The lights were shimmering like distortion from engine heat, but he could hear no sound. As the UFO passed over I-84, cars in both the east and west bound lanes began pulling over and stopping. The UFO displayed a semi-circular pattern of very bright multicolored lights. Five motorists reported that, as the object became visible, a number of cars lost power and had to pull off the highway. An anomymous State Police officer sent to investigate photographed the object. Dr. Bruce Maccabee analysed the photo. His findings indicate the object was huge, perhaps over a thousand feet across, and that the lights showed a definite pattern. He also indicated the lights seemed to have been flashing very quickly in some sort of sequence, giving the impression that some were out of focus while others were sharp.

1985 Oct 15 - Sergeant John Zeller US31

...

Sgt John C. Zeller (Photo credit: Keene Sentinel) Keene Police On the night of Oct. 15, the Keene, N. H. police got an anonymous phone call. The man refused to give his name because he said his wife would think he was crazy. He told the police something strange was hovering over the city. A sceptic familiar with crank calls, Sgt. John Zeller was in no hurry to reach the section of Route 12 where the object was reported. As he drove from West Street to Route 12, the car coming toward him screeched to a stop, and two people got out, pointing at the sky. "There was something, mostly lights, hovering five to 700 feet off the ground, red, green, white pulsating types," Zeller says. "All you could see was the lights, you couldn't see any outline. The strange thing was, this was absolutely still, like it was stuck there. There was no sound. I stood there probably two minutes." Then Sgt. Zeller aimed his 200,000 candlelight power spotlight at the hovering lights. "You could see the light beam through the dark," Zeller says. "The minute the light beam was put on it, it came toward it, at an angle, lowering at the same time. It was so clearly unconventional. The thing kept coming about 100 feet from the cruiser, travelling as fast as you'd ride a bicycle." The strange craft hovered over the cruiser, barely moving. Zeller saw no markings, no openings, and can't remember if he saw wings, but he described the object as 40-50 feet long, 10-15 feet wide, cream-colored with blunt ends, ridged on the bottom like an old-fashioned bathtub. "It gave out a two-tone hum," Zeller says. "It went over to a car wash and it did something which I assume was turning around, then it went - boom - over toward the Ramada Inn."

1978 May 13 - Police Officer Manuel Amparano US57

Kerman, California.

... The then 33-year-old officer was traveling south on Del Norte Avenue in Kerman when he spotted a large fire at tree top level about a half-mile ahead. He first wrote it off to recent reports of teenagers lighting fire to palm trees, but as he approached the California Avenue intersection, he realized it was something else. Amparano saw "a circular type thing, similar to a round fireball or a setting sun, about 100 to 150 feet off the ground."He described the object as between 25 and 50 feet across. When it was only 100 feet away from his patrol car, he decided to turn his spotlight on it. But as he attempted to do so, the object moved away and upward, then moved in a southeasterly direction at a high rate of speed. While the object's light was not blinding, just before it moved away, a "bluish light beam" came from the object, angled toward his police car, similar to a camera flash. The officer drove to a nearby parking lot near Highway 145 and I80 to sort things out. But instead of finding himself alone in his thoughts, the second witness appeared. Phil Mahler, delivering newspapers for the Fresno Bee, said that while he was delivering a newspaper at Whites Bridge Road and Grantland Avenue, he observed "a redish ball in the sky." As a police officer, he noted the time when he first saw the object, and when it moved away - a total of 4 to 5 minutes. He also made a sketch of the object, and recorded the sighting as May 13, 1978, at 3:13 a.m. According to a February 23, 1979, Fresno Bee story, then Police Chief James Van Cleaf, decided to withhold case details. He later resigned. Amparano went public with the case and eventually fielded questions from the media worldwide. Back at the station, Amparano followed up by contacting the Air National Guard, the weather bureau, and a radar station located at Fresno Air Terminal. Nothing showed on radar scopes, no weather balloons had been launched, and there were no airplanes in the area. While making calls in the station, two fellow officers, A.J Buinyton and Bob Muller, approached to ask what he was doing, noticing burn marks on his face and neck. Then after taking him into a bathroom to show him the burns, they discovered that his chest was burned through his shirt. The officers then accompanied Amparano to the cotton field where the incident took place and searched for evidence but found nothing. Returning home finally, he reported to his wife that he was feeling "uncomfortable," and could not have covers touching him while he slept that night. His wife reported that his body twitched while he slept. After waking at 5 p.m. and still feeling sick, he went to the Fresno Community Hospital emergency room where his burns were listed as coming from "unknown sources." They recorded his blood pressure high, at 150 over 90. A private doctor later said he suffered from a "high intensity fluorescent pipe light or a gamma ray." Now other clues would follow. After filing a report with a Seattle-based "phenomenon research center", he received a follow-up that a Fresno astronomer reported a "reddish ball" going down close to the ground west of Fresno at about the same time as Amparano's sighting. And during the same time period, the North Central Fire District took a fire call at Trinity Road and Shaw Avenue. Trucks responded. No fire. But Amparano said the report area was in a direct line from where his sighting occured. Then Ken Westbrook, Jr, 20, came forward. Westbrook was working the night shift at the Gilory Farm raking hay 8 miles west of Kerman. Upon hearing about Amparano's experience, he called police and talked to the chief. He later spoke to a Probe UFO Investigator as well. Over a 30 to 40-second period, he saw a "glowing orange ball of light coming over the tops of the branches. "It caught my attention as it came up and just kind of drifted around a little bit." Fresno National Weather Bureau Meteorologist Carl Smith also provided testimony that either the day before Amparano's sighting - or two days before - he saw "lights flashing through the sky from all directions. "What I saw was like a bunch of crazy airplane pilots." (www.examiner.com)

1978 Apr 19 - Police Officer Observes and Photographs Disc US30

Colfax, Wisconsin

... On April 19, 1978, police officer Mark Coltrane was on patrol in the vicinity of Colfax, in Wisconsin, USA. At midday, he decided to stop the car to eat something, in a small isolated area. He noted that his radio was emitting crackles.He then noticed a metalic looking disc raising towards the the sky at a short distance from the parking space. While the object seemed to move towards him, Coltrane picked up his Polaroid camera, came out of the car and snapped some photographs. The object was so close in one of the images that it is possible to notice some details of its lower surface. In the second photograph the object is starting to move away.The total observation lasted a few minutes, the object being being lost from his sight when it accelerated and fled in the distance. Coltrane, shocked by the sighting, remained in amazement for two hours without saying anything, by fear of being ridiculed when he would have to submit his report to his chiefs.

1976 Nov 27 - Repeat Sightings in South Dakota US29

Millbank, South Dakota

... At about 6:30 P.M. (CST) on the evening of November 27, 1976, Mike Foss left a local auto body shop in Milbank intending to return home by car. Travelling south on highway 77 out of Milbank, he suddenly noticed a "tremendously bright, brilliant orange light" to the right of him. He continued to watch the object for a few moments until turning to proceed westward toward his parents' farm on a gravelled county road. Realizing that whatever was responsible for the light was hanging over a field alongside the road, Foss stopped for a better look. He realized that whatever it was he was observing was clearly not any sort of object he was familiar with. Frightened, Foss sped off for for home about a mile and a half away, intended to pick up his parents and return to the spot to show them what he had seen. Arriving at the house, he jumped out of the car and ran into the house yelling "come quick". According to Mr. Foss, just prior to Mike's rushing into the house, the television began to "act up" by rolling vertically. Upon going outside Mr. Foss felt that "some heavy trucks must have been passing by" and he clearly saw and heard a jet passing westwards overhead. Mike realized that the object was now a few feet in the air between the hog house and the barn, about 100 feet from where they were standing. After a few moments the two men came in to get a pair of opera glasses (6x 1 5) to observe the object better. While they were looking for the glasses, Mrs. Foss continued to watch the device from the kitchen window. At this point the object began to drift away from its original position, moving away from the house at 180° toward the southwest. Then, appearing to have stopped once again, it began to emit, laterally, one at a time, what appeared to be "red balls" of some sort. These seemed to be without substance, were emitted from the sides of the object (but not at the same time) and floated about four of the parent object's diameters from the main body. One ball having reached this distance from the object, it then exploded noiselessly into nothing; a which point another"ball" emitted from the opposite side of the device. By the time the men managed to find the opera glasses and return, in a matter of perhaps two minutes, this phenomenon had ceased and the object had begun to recede again slowly to the southwest. The three Fosses watched for about twenty to twenty-five minutes. The somewhat egg-shaped object, blue at its base, flashed multi-colored lights (mostly red) higher up and had two protruding legs or antennae. It then drifted slowly straight away from them and off to the southwest, diminishing in size and intensity until it finally disappeared in the distance. After the object left the area, the television was normal again. Mike and his his father both sketched what they had seen while it was still fresh in their memory. When they got together again to compare the sketches, they were strikingly similar. Mike stated that since this first sighting, he had experienced a strange recurring dream in which he is alone on a hilltop "on a strange planet with a purple sky" watching a number of strange 'craft' maneuvering in the distance. "Some are silver and some are black, and there seems to be a war going on". In addition, he said he clearly felt that the object would return and that it will return again. The object returned again on three separate occasions. On two of these occasions, it was sighted only at extreme distances as a bright orange light maneuvering off to the southwest of the house. On the third occasion, the object positioned itself between the barn and the hog house, and it remained in the area twenty to twenty-five minutes following the same pattern of slowly receding to the southwest. At the appearance of the object, Mike noticed that his scanner had locked onto frequency seven, approx VHF frequency 140 MHz, as used by the Minnesota Highway Patrol, and was emitting bursts of static. This time Mike called Milbank police requesting a dispatch. Police Chief Ben Amsden attended out but by the time he arrived, the object was only a bright light in the distance. Amsden, however, did notice an orange glow in the vicinity of the Foss farm while proceeding toward it in the squad car. Also reported to have seen the object, this time in the area of the KMSD radio tower about two and one half miles from the Foss house, are Mr. Don Adams, bartender at the local VFW club, and his wife. On Sunday, December 12, 1976, one day after the last sighting of the object , the Foss' seven year old german shepherd became ill. On the 13th, the dog was examined by a Dr. Dotney, DVM, from Milbank, who diagnosed the problem as an apparent stroke, as the animal's veins had collapsed and the dog was in shock. The dog was put to sleep. (UfoEvidence.org case 352) (William M. Moore, APRO Bulletin, Vol. 25 No. 5 (Nov. 1976))

1976 Apr 22 - Police Officer Has Repeat Sighting US28

Elmwood, Wisconsin

Officer George Wheeler At about 11 p.m., George Wheeler, a relief policeman at the town of Elmwood, WI, encountered a strange glowing object which he estimated was about 500 feet distant and hovering about 100 feet off the ground. There were six bluish-white lights, windows or portholes on the side and he could see shadows as if someone was moving inside of it. This case involves apparent electro-mechanical effects, multiple witnesses, and possible animal reaction. More serious was an encounter of the worst kind experienced on the night of April 22, 1976, when police officer George Wheeler investigated a flaming red object hovering a hundred feet or so over central Elmwood. As he drove up beneath the craft, his radio abruptly ceased to function. Sometime later, David Moots, a local resident, saw the patrol car sitting silently and unlit in the middle of a downtown street. Inside, Officer Wheeler was barely conscious. In response to ambulance technicians trying to save his life en route to the emergency ward, Wheeler claimed he had been hit in the chest with a painful red ray that shot from the UFO through his windshield. As his health rapidly deteriorated for causes his doctors could not determine, he repeatedly told them, to their disbelief, that he was dying from the mysterious effects of internal injuries caused by alien beings. Within six months after his April encounter, Officer George Wheeler died of unknown causes. (UfoEvidence.org case 341) (APRO Bulletin, Vol. 24 No. 10 (Apr 1976)) (UfoEvidence.org case 343)

1975 Oct - Witnesses Observe Huge Boomerang Over Motorway US27

New York

... A truck driver on a trip from NYC to Albany was driving when he noticed his CB and the AM radio was only picking up static. At around 8:30 or he started to notice that there were cars pulled off to the side of the road and in the median. As he pulled under an overpass he saw an object floating about 100 feet above the road. He broke hard then saw the object was approximately the size of a high school football field, but not quite as wide. It had lights on each end and in the middle with blue square lights all across the back end of the wings. He got out of the truck and was standing in front of the truck looking up at it when a NY State Trooper pulled up and got out of his cruiser. The two stood there watching for about two to three minutes. There was no sound at all and the object didn't fluctuate or "flutter" as it floated in the air. The structure of the craft was visible and there were no rivets or seams, just a silver-grey body. The trooper called out to him to ask if he was seeing the same thing. Then suddenly it moved over the Hudson River, made a slight turn kind of facing up, and then in one second it was gone. When the object had departed, the CB and AM radio returned to normal. The total time of the sighting was about 5 minutes. (UfoEvidence.org case 1066) (Brian Vike, HBCCUFO Research (hbccufo.org))
