UFO Sightings Through Drawings
Other UFO reports I collected came in the form of drawings gathered from a number of books. I felt it was important to display them here because they may not have been mentioned before, or listed anywhere else other than in my private files.
 
The inhabitants, surprised and frightened, saw that the sky above their city was filled with cylindrical UFOs, from which there emerged black, red, orange and blue-white spheres and disks. The objects seemed to be fighting with each other. April 14, 1561, at Nuremberg, Germany.
Landing at Gaillardon, France, in 1817.
 
Captain Banner and the crew of the ship "Lady of the Lake" observed the movement of a disk flying against the wind for about half an hour. The rear of the object is surrounded by a luminous halo. A curved tail starts as its centre. In the ship's log, captain Banner drew the sketch reproduced above. March 22, 1870. While hunting, John Martin, a Texas farmer, notices an object crossing the sky at great speed. Passing vertically to the farmer, the object is described as resembling a large saucer.

Object seen over the Sioux City airport, in Iowa, by the pilots of a DC-3. January 20, 1951. In 1955, this unidentified flying object was photographed over New York. It was similar to those described by Harold A. Dahl and Fred L. Crisman, while boating off Maury Island, Washington, in June 1947.
 

Three women of the Moreno family, noticed two brilliant objects that seemed to settle on the railroad - linked by a luminous extension. A large number of humanoid silhouettes seemed to bustle within the luminous tube. Tucuman, a province of Argentina; on October 21, 1963, about 8:00 p.m.

One of the three women saw a disk-shaped object, approximately 9 metres in diametre.

From one of the objects, two beams of light can be seen coming towards a hangar near the house.

 

A farmer by the name of Maurice Masse observed a strange object "shaped like a rugby" with some kind of transparent cockpit on top. The size of the object is comparable to that of a small car. July 1, 1965, about 6:00 a.m., on the Valensole plateau, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France.

The object left an imprint in the shape of a cross at the landing site.

Observation made by M. Gantois of a strange object with an unusual marking. August 13 or 14, 1965, about 8:00 p.m., at Belle-Isle-en-Terre, France.
 
Police officer Bob Goode and chief deputy sheriff Bill MacCoy were driving towards West Columbia and had just passed the small locality of Damon. Suddenly, they see an object approximately sixty metres long and the shadow that it projects on the ground is as large as a football field. September 3, 1965, in the state of Texas. A hitch-hiker had burst into a police station. He claimed that he had seen an object "as big as a house" appear over a field. A policeman then followed the witness back to the site. The mysterious object was still there. September 3, 1965, about 2:00 a.m. Location unknown.
 
Observation made by Mrs. T. Hamand. May 30, 1966, at Mannheim, in Germany.
 

Observation made in the Aveyron, in France, around a farm occupied by a family of four: a farmer, his mother-in-law, his wife and his son. The farmer observed three balls of white light, each about the size of "three human heads", coming down from a hill. June 15, 1966 and the night of January 5 to 6, 1967.

A few minutes later, an object shaped like a shell, is seen standing in a field. From its top, a narrow and powerful, luminous beam goes around like a lighthouse in the night.

A moment afterward, the farmer's son notices a light coming in his direction. An oval object, a "saucer" that comes down, settles within 20 metres of him. He sees two domes in which there are two humanoids, each wearing a helmet and dressed in green-colored leotards.
 
Photographs taken in March 1967, at an altitude of 3000 metres, during an excursion up a mountain at Yungay, in Peru, South America. Inacio De Souza, a brazilian plantation employee, and his wife Luiza noticed a strange craft that had settled on the runway. They also reported seeing three humanoids near the object. August 13, 1967, near Pilar de goias, 240 km from Brasilia, the capital of Brazil.
 

Sighting of two UFOs by a man nicknamed "Doctor X", who wanted to remain anonymous. November 2, 1968.

Afterwards, a sight even more unbelievable offers itself to the eyes of Doctor X: He sees the two antennas penetrating each other, and then, without slowing down, the two UFOs combine and literally merge together to become one object.

Its size is enormous. It is estimated to be about 65 metres wide and 16 metres high, without the antennas.
 
Observation made by three non-commission officers (N.C.O.) student pilots. October 28, 1969, at Dax, France. Here is a "flying saucer" photographed in 1969, by José Carrasco, from central Brazil. This object resembles the one seen by a certain Dr. Tombaugh, of which the description seems to be similar.
 
Observation made by two skiers. They also observed a humanoid. January 7, 1970, Imjarvi, Finland.

A window opens to let a small oval object inside. The night of June 21 to 22, 1972, about 2:00 a.m., at Logrono, Spain. The observation was made by a young man.

He sees a luminous object moving silently. From the object, a beam of light extends outward, exploring the radio set and, afterwards, the tape recorder.

 
Observation made by M. Balaguer, at Figeac, France. May 14, 1973. A japanese student, Yoshiaki Kato, was setting up on the balcony of his home to take a few photographs of the Tokyo tower (which serves as an antenna for television and telecommunications). He expected to present a few documents at an exhibition organized by his school. With his camera, he took three snapshots. The young man never noticed anything in particular, but at the same time, his mother and several neighbors were observing some UFOs in proximity of the tower (one of the witnesses immediately informed the local police; an official report proves it). Once the film was developed, Yoshiaki was quite surprised to see these objects appear on his snapshots. September 19, 1973, about 7:30 p.m., in Tokyo, Japan.
 
Observation made by M. Aiello, investigator from ORESPA. December 22, 1973, near Randan, France. Observation made by M. Adams, near the Mureaux, in France. The phenomenon that silently passes just above the witness has a blurred shape, vaguely oval. Two lights are seen at the front of the object. January 10, 1974, between 8:00 and 8:30 p.m.
 
Two phases of the observation as seen by several witnesses. January 12, 1974, about 8:10 p.m., at Triel and Villennes-sur-Seine, France. Observation made by Mrs. R.T., at Meulan, France. January 12, 1974.
 
Observation made by M. Boulanger, at Triel, France. January 12, 1974. Observation made by M. Lebailly. The phenomenon is a light yellow, vaporous shape with two luminous ellipses beneath it. The object is represented as 4 to 5 mm, at arm's length. It is at an altitude estimated to be between 500 and 1000 metres. January 12, 1974, about 8:10 p.m., near Pontoise, France.
 
Movement of objects observed in the sky above the Yvelines, France. These orange-yellow objects are surrounded by a luminous halo, distorting constantly and resembling a chemical reaction. January 1974.

Phenomenon observed by M. L.R. in the Rambouillet forest, France, on February 5, 1974, about 6:30p.m. At 10 metres from the ground, the object moves silently at a speed of 1 km/h. Its length is estimated at 9 metres. After 30 seconds, the object is hidden from view by the trees and is no longer seen, despite the movement of the witness towards a clearing.

This observation has some analogies of shape and sizes with a luminous mass seen and photographed by a policeman at Revigny-sur-Ornoin (Meuse), in June 1975.

 
Observation made by M. and Mrs. Lorgeoux, at Locminé, France. October 19, 1976. An evening of August, 1977, several people observed this object over the Seine valley, in France. M. Gilbert photographed it with a 110 camera. According to the witness, the object remained stationary for several minutes and suddenly disappeared.
 
Observation made on March 8, 1978, at Bennecourt, France, according to a sketch made by the witness.
 

Two intense beams of light are projected from a semi-spherical shape.

At every appearance, the phenomenon tilts and releases a substance which seems to evaporate after a fall of 10 metres. Observation made on March 11, 1978.
