In 1975, two seven-year-old boys in Kofu, Japan, reported an encounter with a flying saucer and its occupants. They were taken seriously, and an investigation revealed not only other witnesses, but also physical evidence to back up their story. The case was re-examined almost 40 years later by investigators from the Space Phenomena Observatory Center, and in their opinion, still holds up. A report was given to the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization and the Center for UFO Studies by Matsushito Hayashi of the Japan Space Phenomena Association. Both organizations provided summaries (APRO here on page 5; and CUFOS here on page 13) in their publications. A two-part article using extensive Japanese sources was written by Otakupapa. It is titled Kofu Incident: A Creepy Alien Got Off a UFO and Tapped a Japanese Boy on the Shoulder and is posted on otakupapa.net.
According to the article, on Sunday, February 23, 1975, Masato Kono and Katushiro Yamahata were roller-skating on a concrete slab in a vacant lot at around 6:30 p.m. Looking up, they saw two lights moving towards them from the east. According to the version of events in one of Otakupapa’s sources (Kubota, Hachiro UFO to Uchu (UFOs & Space) June 1975, NO.12, 8-17, Universe Publishing Co.), the lights were seen by the boys to be orange objects as they got closer. At this point the boys could see that the objects were circular with three spinning structures on the bottom. The boys’ descriptions of the objects are very much like the “classic” Adamski-type saucer. According to writer Hiroshi Minamiyama (Otakupapa’s other source for this moment in the story) only one object came over to the boys while the other one flew off.
New to your podcast in 1984 , I lived in Yonkers I worked in New Rochelle and was coming home as I got onto the Cross County Parkway I noticed 2 lights , really low ,I thought it was plane but it was so slow,it wasn’t flying past me, so I started going slow I was on a 5 Lane Highway the two lights turn into 4 then 6. I was just so amazed it was floating and going so slow and it was so so low I didn’t understand what I was looking at I ended up stopping on the parkway I flicked my high beams, got out of my car and the thing literally just stopped, turned and then floated towards me, stop over my car and it just hovered all I could think about was how is it not falling and how could it just be floating then I noticed they had no nose no tail .i was crossing off what it should have been. As it was over me I could see underneath it it was literally no higher than maybe a 50 story building it was just so low and so huge, made no noise,I could see the belly…the pipes, ducts…it looked like the ceiling of an industrial buildings basement. It was all black and huge HUGE. It was about 1:30 in the morning , as I Stood out my car and pointed up to other vehicles pass by but did not stop near me and then at some point I was talking to them in my head asking who and where are they from things of that sort and then I just got really spooked and jumped back in my car and I started to drive away . I kept looking back as it slowly turned and went back the way it came. As I advanced I would turn my head back every two3 seconds and then the last time it wasn’t there anymore. But I don’t think it just disappeared I believe there’s a radius based on its perspective that can only be seen with in that radius. This is why it appears to skip and blink out, and also why one block sees it but not another down the street. NOW, What should’ve been a 20 minute drive home took me an hour and a half when I arrive home at 3:30 it didn’t understand how it was so late I literally woke up my whole family and being a New Yorker ,my sisters told me to shut up and go to bed. I was 19 or 20 I’m 57 now, live in LA and last year on February 19 I remember because it was the day before my birthday at 8 o’clock in the morning saw this little white dot in the sky zipping across the sky it was so tiny and we thought yeah maybe just a plain really really high but then it stopped and then it went back the way it came it was so amazing the incident in the 80s, 2other car stopped but we never spoke to each other I have often wondered who they were and I wonder what happened during my missing time just want you to understand It was so big and it was just floating so slow there was nothing too compare it to
Since then I always look up I believe I’ve seen a total of 3 yap’s to date. Somehow,I believe I can tune into other frequencies at certain times,I capture ghost in pics. Orbs and balls of light in the clouds.
I’m open to talk if you have any questions, thank you Tony

On November 26, 1979, police in the French agglomeration community of Cergy-Pontoise received a strange missing person report from two distressed young men. According to Jean-Pierre Prévost and Salomon N’Diaye, their friend, Franck Fontaine, disappeared after a ball of light that was accompanied by three or four luminous spheres engulfed the car he was in. This resulted in not only an investigation by the police but also GEPAN (Groupe d’Études des Phénomènes Aérospatiaux Non-identifiés), the unit of CNES (Centre National D’études Spatiales) tasked with dealing with UFO reports.
According to an article on the case titled L’Affaire de Cergy-Pontoise, posted on rrO.org, Fontaine, 18, Prévost and N’Diaye, both 25, were loading a Ford station wagon with jeans they were going to try and sell at Gisors market. They saw a light heading towards the ground at a “not too fast speed.” Fontaine drove towards where he thought it might have made impact after telling the other two to meet him there. Prévost and N’Diaye went back to their nearby apartments, N’Diaye to get a camera and Prévost to get another load of jeans. Read more

In last week’s blog, we wrote about an incident involving Filiberto Cárdenas, a Cuban exile living in Hialeah, Florida. Cárdenas was reportedly seen by his friend and his friend’s wife and daughter to float up in a beam of light into some sort of craft that then flew off. Two hours later, he was found 16 miles away on his hands and knees in the middle of the road. He was taken to a hospital and tested for radiation. The tests came up negative, but he experienced mysterious symptoms including an excessive thirst, shaking hands, and a sulfurous body odor. While this case might have been held up as an argument for the reality of the alien abduction phenomenon, it is rarely discussed and is overshadowed by more famous cases such as that involving Travis Walton. A possible reason for this is that Cárdenas, and then his wife, reported experiences that were similar to those of contactees, who have often been discounted by many in the UFO research community.

UFO abduction cases have been controversial ever since the very first cases were reported. The main factor working against them is that most of them are single witness reports. There are exceptions, of course, the most famous being the 1975 Travis Walton case. In this incident, six of Walton’s co-workers (they were working in Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona on an NFS Timber Stand Improvement contract) reported seeing Walton knocked back by a beam of light from a UFO and then lifted up by the beam. Walton was missing for five days and the Navajo County Sheriff suspected his co-workers of murder. They were subjected to lie-detector tests at the Navajo County Courthouse in Holbrook, Arizona, and all six of them passed. This case is still discussed and held up in support of abduction claims, but another abduction case with multiple witnesses that also seems worthy of consideration is nowhere near as well known.
Ted Roe stops in for a few minutes to discuss the AIAA statement on UFOs, NARCAP, pilot encounters, then guest Jack Brewer got interested in the many overlaps between NICAP and intelligence agencies. Then, through the FOIA, various archives, newspaper clippings and so on, it got increasingly interesting, to the point that he wrote about it. Frankly, Jack was surprised how much material he has obtained that suggests the CIA facilitated the birth of NICAP.
