5 case files, newest first.
During a morning break at a private school outside Harare, dozens of children said a craft landed in the bush beside the playground and small dark beings looked at them. Interviews and drawings were collected within days. The story remains one of the most cited mass-sighting cases.
Prospector Stefan Michalak came out of the Manitoba woods with grid-shaped burns on his chest and a story about a landed craft. The RCMP and the military investigated; the files are now public. They never found what burned him.
A farm family near Kelly, Kentucky, told police they had spent hours fighting off small, glowing, big-eared creatures with shotguns. Police found bullet holes but no creatures. Blue Book filed it as a hoax; skeptics later suggested great horned owls.
A New Mexico police officer chasing a speeder saw a flame in the hills, then an egg-shaped craft and two small figures. It took off as he approached. Blue Book could not identify it, and it stayed 'unidentified' in Air Force files.
Two shipyard workers told a Mississippi sheriff they had been taken aboard a craft beside the Pascagoula River. The sheriff left a recorder running when he stepped out. Fifty years on, the tape is still the strongest evidence, and the gaps are still there.
