1966 - On this night in Harlingen, Texas near Kelly Air Force Base Mr. Morrison, a father of four, was propped up in bed when he saw a small person, 3.5 to four feet tall, dressed in white tight-fitting clothing, enter his son's bedroom. About ten minutes later he saw something like "a bar of light, which appeared to crumble." The boys and their mother had not seen anyone enter the bedroom, but they had seen the bar of light.

1973 - Ms. Brown, age 52, saw a silvery metallic sphere at 20 degrees elevation in the sky while driving between Snyder and Big Springs, Texas during a rainstorm at around four p.m. It was the apparent size of the full moon, and had a band around the middle with diamond shapes that did not appear to be windows. It was doing a slow yo-yo, up-and-down motion, and it made no sound that could be heard. (Source: John F. Schuessler, MUFON Field Investigator Case Files).

Snyder, Texas - 1973

1976 - Three men saw a four foot tall dwarf at a former Army building in La Spezia near Mount Parodi, Italy on this day. The being wore a black coverall uniform,with part of it covering its head. It had two oblique slits for eyes. It walked in a clumsy way, "as if sliding on the ground." It vanished leaving no footprints. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A1496, citing Stampa Sera, September 6, 1976).

1976 - On this night in a shopyard in Vargem Grande, Minas Gerais province, Brazil 39-year-old Mr. Coelho de Silva was a five-meter in diameter yellow glowing dome with a blue violet band around its base, and a hole at its center. As the witness ran away he felt a blow and was knocked down. He then saw a being slide down on a hook from the hole. He wore a dark metallic uniform with an opaque helmet. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A1494, citing J. Allen Hynek).

1997 - Following an encounter with a strange looking humanoid the evening before, the next morning the same two boys in Cordenons, Italy along with two other friends went into the woods where they last saw the creature. About 50 meters away, among some bushes, the boys saw a round hairless head that was whitish and extremely wrinkled in appearance. Terrified, the boys fled the area, but soon returned armed with a camera and a pair of binoculars. They were soon overcome with a strange malaise and headache. They saw the humanoid again, who they described as about 90 cm in height, dirty-white in color and with very long arms. It had three-digit hands that ended in ball-shaped tips. Its head was oval shaped and devoid of any facial expressions. The head seemed pointed on top and had a very pointed chin. Its most prominent feature was its huge black, oval-shaped eyes. Its mouth was but a thin line and its nose was just two small round holes. Its skin appeared gelatinous and corrugated or wrinkled. They didn't see any sexual organs. The boys left quickly. The creature was seen briefly next day in the same woods, but it scurried away into the bushes when the witness approached. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1997, citing Moreno Tambellini, SHADO).
