A phenomena that begun in the late 1960s, practically worldwide with the same modus operandi. The first recorded case of cattle mutilation in USA happened during September 1967, near Alamosa in the San Luis Valley, Colorado. An Appaloosa specimen, named "Lady", was found dead and mutilated. Both her head and neck were completely stripped of flesh. Cattle were killed and the body left on the farm ground in various conditions. Appearently, it's been found that the carcass has been totally drained of blood, and that there has been no trace of blood found anywhere on the ground around the body....

1944 Non-aggressive "Foo-fighters" reported buzzing and flying formation with Allied combat airplanes in European and Pacific Theaters of War. Suggestions that they were Axis air weapons were found unconvincing. 1946 Of 1500+ "ghost rockets" reported from Sweden and neighboring countries, most flew slowly, quietly and level. Attempts to blame Soviet rocket and missile tests from Peenemunde failed. 1947 First major American wave of "flying disc" sightings started with formation of ovals seen weaving through the Cascade Mountains of Washington State at 1700 mph by businessman/pilot Kenneth Arnold. Ground observers reported seeing formations of discs at same time and place. More than 1500 reports...

Robert Hastings believes the truth is out there - and what he knows of it, he's willing to share. Hastings, an independent researcher and lecturer on Unidentified Flying Objects, will present a lecture, "UFOs: The Hidden History," at 7 p.m. on Oct. 12 in the LBJ Student Center Ballroom on the Texas State University-San Marcos campus. Admission is free. He last visited the campus in 1996, and the lecture drew a crowd of more than 200. Since then, he says disclosures under the federal Freedom of Information Act have provided new fuel to the fire that burns in those who...

During July 1952 a massive build up of sightings occurred in the United States. The sheer number of sightings caused the Military of the time much concern as the reports were 'clogging' up vital communication links throughout the land. On the night of 19/20th July UFO's were sighted all over Washington DC by both ground civilians as well as several pilots. All the objects were tracked on radar at Andrews AFB, as well as at Air Traffic Control Center, Washington National Airport. Many photographs were taken and these were seen in the national newspapers the following day. Further sightings occurred...

An unidentified flying object has crashed in the Far East. Hundreds of people witnessed the event. The UFO crashed into the rocky mountains located in the town of Dalnegorsk. A strange spherical object has slightly brushed upon the mount at approximately 8:00pm, January 29th, 1986. Witnesses claim they saw a bright flash but did not hear anything. The glow from the fire appeared rather strange: blue aureole lasted for about an hour and a half. At first, local residents thought it was a rocket from the nearest military base. However, as it turned out, neither our, nor foreign armed forces...

In the late afternoon of November 17, 1986, Japan Air Lines flight 1628, a Boeing 747 with a crew of three, was nearing the end of a trip from Iceland to Anchorage, Alaska. The jet, carrying a cargo of French wine, was flying at 35,000 feet through darkening skies, a red glow from the setting sun lighting one horizon and a full moon rising above the other. A little after six p.m., pilot Kenju Terauchi noticed white and yellow lights ahead, below, and to the left of his airplane. He could see no details in the darkness and assumed the...

On January 7th 1948 at 1.20pm the Godman Air Field tower crew sighted a bright, disc shaped object. The sighting was quickly brought to the attention of the base operations officer, the intelligence officer and finally, the base commander, Colonel Guy F. Hix. For 90 minutes, dozens of people, including Hix watched the UFO as it hung almost motionless in the sky. People as far as 100 miles could see the UFO. At 2.45pm a flight of F-51s flew over Godman. The object was still visible and the flight commander, Thomas Mantell, was asked if he could investigate. The F-51s...

On May 13, 1917, three illiterate shepherd children, at work tending sheep outside Fatima, Portugal, were surprised by a bright flash in a nearby pasture called Cova de Ira, widely known as an old sacred place. Approaching the pasture, they were caught in a luminosity that nearly blinded them. In the center of the blaze of light, they perceived a little woman who told them she was "from heaven" and warned that world-wide suffering could be averted only if people ceased "offending God". The illuminated figure - who quickly became known as Our Lady - asked them to return to...

On June 24th 1947 pilot Kenneth Arnold was flying over the Cascade Mountains when his attention was drawn to a set of nine strange looking objects darting across the sky. At first he thought they were reflections of the sun but after looking at them more closely he realised that they were objects flying in formation. The objects he saw had wings what were curved and shaped like a crescent moon. His next thought were that they were some new aircraft that the Air Force were developing and he started to time them on his clock. He calculated that they...

On July 24, 1948, two experienced Eastern Airlines crew members, pilot Clarence S. Chiles and his co-pilot, John B. Whitted, en route from Houston to Atlanta, encountered a one hundred-foot-long, wingless, finless, cigar-shaped object with two rows of large, square windows that emanated a bright, glowing light from within. On a seeming collision course with the UFO, Chiles threw his DC-3 airliner into a tight left hand banking turn, and the object, with a forty-foot orange red flame flashing from its tail, shot past not more that seven hundred feet away. The object was tracked on Radar and no explanation...
