Feb 14, 1967: Miller County, MO. Early in the morning, a farmer sees a domed-shaped object with colored lights in his field. Strange-looking figures stand beneath it.

Nov 25, 1968: Necochea, Argentina. Local farmers are concerned when they see UFOs and then find burned circles in their fields.

Jan 29, 1969: Matadepera, Spain. An 80-year-old woman is picking wild herbs when a weird metallic craft emerges from the trees, swoops below the powerlines and zooms off. Returning to the site with investigators, they discover four tunnels dug horizontally into the ground in a weird pattern, and in a way no animal or known machine could do.

Jul 20, 1971: Vitry-en-Artois, France. Monsieur F. Laisne was outside his home and sees a large spherical object move over his own house to a tall poplar tree.

Aug 1971: Sarcee, Canada. An doctor is horseback riding when his horse becomes agitated. A saucer-shaped object swoops down, causing the horse to panic. After the object leaves, the horse remains shy and nervous. In the days that follow, his own horse develops a strange illness.

Oct 5, 1978: Wellingborough, England. When many witnesses across town report a low-flying craft, it’s clear that something strange is going on.

Aug 1979: Oktyabrskiy, Russia. A team of eight oil-field workers are terrified when a UFO lands on their worksite. Going to investigate the next morning, they find three deep marks in a triangular formation on the ground. In the center is a hole reaching 100 feet in depth.

Late 1980: Frankfurt, Germany. When a crew of a 707 jet leaves New York for Frankfurt, they are tailed by a saucer which illuminates the interior of their cockpit. It’s caught on radar and viewed from the ground. Afterward, the captain begins having nightmares of weird alien creatures.

Feb 1981: Mojave Desert, CA. A prospector returns from a trip into the desert with an incredible story of a UFO landing. After it takes off, he notices weird silvery spheres which glowed for two days afterwards. He picks up one of the stones, which shows many unusual properties.
