 FOREWORD

One of the principal objectives of the Center f or UFO Studies

is to make available to the scientific world and the seriously interested
public, compilations of specialized data on the UFO phenomenon . The
present catalog of Physical Traces Assoc iated with UFO Sightings is a
contribution to this objective.

Physical trace cases c an be defined as those UFO cases in which

definite physical changes in the immediate vicinity of a UFO sighting
have b een recorded: marks and surface changes o n the ground, damage to
vegetation, re sidues a nd/o r artifacts found, and surface effects of s ome
durat ion on buildings and vehicles. These are all inc luded i n the
broader term " Close Encounters of the Second Kind," in which a repor'.:ed
UFO has interacted with the immediate e nvironment - animate or inanimate
mat t e r .

This catalog is pio neering work of Te d Phillips, who has f o r many

years specialized in the collectio n of physical trace cases. It has b een
extended by c o ntributions of several workers who se industry is hereby
gratefully acknowledged. Accessibility to Dr . David Saunders' UFOCAT has
been o f especial assistance . It has been most ably edited and made re a dy
for press by Mimi Hynek.

A catalo g is at best an aid to furthe r research and this one

should e specially serve to this end. Likewise , no catalog is ever complete,
and certainly not in this field, where the v ery repo r ting o f a UFO req uires
a measure of courage. Many such events have undoubtedly ne ve r been reported,
and not all those that have been reported have come to o ur attention. The
readers o f thi s catalog are therefo r e s incere l y urged to b r ing t o . our
attenti o n cases that have not been included, a s well as c o rrections ,
additio ns and e x pansions o f c ases which are listed . Only thereby c a n
future editions of this catalog be of ever inc reasing se rvi ce .

Jur! 16, 1948 U.S.S.R., Baskunchak area. A.I. Apraksin, a Soviet test pilot
478 at Kapustin Yar, while flying above the clouds saw an object
in the shape of a cucumber on a cross course and descending.
"Cones of beams emerged from it in a direction the reverse of
the direction of flight." As he approached it as ordered by
h.is base, which reported it had been picked up on radar, at a
d.i.~; !_<mce of about 10 km t.he beams from the apparatus "opened
up in a fan" and burned through his machine, blinding him for
an instant and putting out of operation the electrical controls
of the plane and engine. The apparatus jerked upward and
buried itself in the cloud layer. The pilot managed to glide
to a landing unhurt. On
May 6, 1949, from t:he same airfield "Apraksin took off in a new airplane
for a flight test. He flew at maximum altitude. The cloud
cover in the take-off area was light but when he found him-
self at Moscow latitude clouds covered the ground. He
established conununications with Vol' sk and maintained communi-
cation with the base all the time.
"Suddenly an incomprehensible aircraft similar to the
previous one appeared. It flew considerably lower. Later it
began to descend. Then Apraksin directed his aircraft toward
the 'flying cucumber' . 'l'he speeds of both machines were very
great and a collision appeared inevitable. At a distance of
about 10-12 kilometers, a cone of beams was again directed at
Apraksin. Blindness set" in. It turn e d out that the enl:ire
electrical portion of the controls was destroyed and, further-
more, the front plastic observation window was damaged. The
a.ir-ticJhtHe::>s of the cockpit was destroyed and a1t.hough

'2Xperienced a drop in external pressure. Jle was in difficulty
bot ncvcrttwJc;;s he f.Lew the aircraft, gliding to the 9round.
Radio communicatic-n with the base ceased. ADraksin landed
the aircraft on the right bank of the Velga, 40 kilometers
north of Saratov, Hith great difficulty and lost consciousness.
When he came to, he was in a hospital at the base . " (Zigel,

could not see the source as he was standing behind a mound of
rubble which was 6~ ft. high. He stepped out from behind the
rubble and saw an oval metallic object resting on a central
shaft and six thin legs. It was about 18 ft. V-Jide with a
round cockpit. Two small occupants were standing near the
object. He walked to within 20 ft. of the beings before they
saw him. One of the occupants pointed a tube at him and he
could not move. The beings had bodies the size of an 8-year-old
child, their heads were t.hree times the size of a normal human
head. There v;as no hair, the s}; in was smooth and white, they
wore overalls. The mouth showed no lips and looked like a
hole. After a short time, the tv10 returned to their vehicle
and entered it through a sliding door. Object jumped into
the air with great speed, rnoved away at an angle of some 45°

binoculars. Six smaller obj e cts were hovering around the
larger one, forming first two equilateral t riangles on either

Aug 23, 1967 SWEDEN, near Kolmarden. A 15-year-old boy and girl, walking at
712 2000 dusk, saw a reddish glow over some nearby woods, moving back
and forth. They walked on past an old deserted cabin, where
they saw strange yellowish lights corning from one room and a
peculiar cone of light fluttering up and down an outside wall.
Thudding sounds were heard. The red glow approached, went
past the two and changed to white, corning to rest on the far
side of a brook. As the young people quickly approached the
house of relatives they spied a large round light "like a giant
flashlight" hanging outside about 3m (13 ft.) from the ground.
A piercing whistling sound came from the area of the brook, and
soon quick light footsteps were heard from the same vicinity.
Suddenly a creature about l30cm high (4ft., 4 in.) jumped
jerkily out from behind a bush and stood with head bent, in
dark attire. It then lifted up with both "arms" a short,
heavy-seeming boxy apparatus with a short tube protruding from
it, in which a glimmering arc could be seen. The young people
took a frightened look before fleeing into the house and
observed that the head was unusually large for the body, anj
~ras covered by something darkish above dark eyes with a
piercing gaze. The arms and legs appeared very thin with a
thin wire around the "ankle" area that gave off a momentary
flash of light.
The next day the boy found deep footprints 25cm (6 in.)
long showing three "toes," as well as some apples that had
been torn apart, with crescent-shaped marks and a bad-smelling
slime on their open surfaces. In the following days, strange
lights were seen near the house and sounds of soft footsteps
and ticking and scraping noises were heard. (APRO Bulletin,

Jul 25, 1970 FRANCE, Jabreil le l es Bordes. Erienne G., a 16-year-old
829 1730 baker's he l per, was looking for mushrooms when he saw, about
50 ft. ar,;ay through the high ferns that cover ed the ground,
a metall ic-looking dome. He moved closer, parting the ferns
to see bett e r, and was suddenly almost blinded by a strong
yellow- orange light that s eemed t o come from three rectangular
openings in the ob ject , from just bel ow t he dome. The inten -
sity of t he light seemed to separate the shiny dome from what
he could barely see a s a darker , large r, lower section.
Erienne fe lt frightened and paralyzed but continued to try to
watch the silent, stationary object, about 20 ft. in diameter
and 10 ft. high, with three antennae. As t h e object began to
ascend s lowly , the light beam turned away from the witness ,
enab l i ng him to see c l early (and move) once more . Four supports
or legs , short and s t urdy , endi n g in r ec tangular pads, extended
from holes in t he base o f t he object , which reached a h e ight of
about 350ft., suddenl y "jumped " vertically and disappeared in
a few seconds.
As soon as it had disappeared, Erie nne ran to the village ,
but told no one at first. Eight days l a ter he returned to the
spot and found a rocky a r ea whe re growth was damaged and fo ur
16 in. deep marks 13 by 21 in. across with sharp edges and
flat bottoms, in the black clay s oil. Plant material in the
imprints ha d been pulverized. Investigators later spent much
time with the wi·tness and at the site. (MUFON 197 2 Conference

bright light in the sky after the ascent and this may well have
been the same object. The object emitted a rumbling sound and
remained on the ground for three minutes or so. The sound
changed to a high pitched sound during ascent. An 8 ft. ring
of dried soil was found. The ring glowed . A t ree was knocked
down; a tree limb was broken . (Personal InvestigationJ
Seven different so il analysis reports show that the soil
from the ring, compared to the control sample from the ground
nearby: does not absorb water, is more acidic and higher in
soluble salts ; contains five to ten times more calcium than
the control and somewhat more minerals; produces less seed
growth than the control , and is coated with a hydrocarbon that
is removable by heating to 100 degrees C. or by washing with
ethyl alcohol. The coating of soil particles i s of a ma~erial
of low atomic weight, with globules of higher atomic weight
imbedded in it. Unique icicle-shaped crystals 0.1 to 0 .05
microns long were found, as was a previously uncatalogued
crystalline structure of low atomic weight. (See appendix for
more precise information.) (CUFOS)

SUMMARY OF THE SEVEN SOIL ANALYSIS REPORTS

1. Standard Soil Analysis as used for Agricultural Purposes. Agricultural

Experiment Station, Utah State University.

"These two soil samples (from the ring and a nearby control sample) are
markedly different. That from the ring is extremely difficult to wet with water,
and is much lower in pH (that is more acidic) and higher in soluble salts. It is
also significantly higher in Mg (magnesium) and K (potassium}.

2. Energy Dispersive Analyzer (EDAX) with Scanning Electron Microscope. Materials

Science Department, Northwestern University.

"Sample I (hard-packed ring soil) contains about five to ten times more
calcium than Sample II (soil outside of ring.)"

3. Soil Fertility and Suitability Tests Performed on Samples Supplied by Ted

Phillips to Stanton E. Friedman to Agri-Science Laboratories, Hawthorne, CA.

CHARACTERISTIC RING NORMAL

PH 6.0 6.4
2
Salinity (mMHOS/cm ) 15.0 4.0
Saturation % 24.62% 17.5%

MAJOR ELEMENTS (concentrations in ppm available)

Calcium 2400 912

Magnesium 730 87
Pot as. 1680 940

TRACE ELEMENTS

Iron 28.0 6.8

Manganese 56.0 5.2
Copper 2.48 1.0
Zinc 20.0 0.18

The white material in the soil "was defined by Agri-Science as a non-organic

water-soluble material." (Stanton T. Friedman)

4. Seed Germination Tests. (Unspecified University)

"The ring soil produced much less seed growth than the control soil."
(Stanton T. Friedman)

137
5. Spectrochemical Analysis and Quantitative Estimates. Commercial Testing
Laboratory.

Soil from the ring sample found to be markedly higher (0 . 5 to 5% compared to

0 . 2 to 2%) than nearby soil in concentration of calcium, and less significantly
higher in concentrations of trace elements, magnesium, manganese, lead, boron,
silver, tin, and chromium. · Ash content of the ring soil sample was significantly
lower (83.7%) than in the nearby soil sample (91.7%).

6. Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy, Electron Spectroscopy and Chemical Solvency

Tests. Chemistry Department, Northwestern University.

"The results of these tests are consistent with the hypothesis that the ring
soil is coated with a hydrocarbon • • . a material that was later removed from its
surface at 100° C under the conditions in the ESCA spectrometer. The hydrophobic
nature of the ring soil . . • was affected when ETOH (ethyl alcohol) then water
was added. Apparently • . . something is washed away so that surface properties
of the soil are changed."

7. Scanning Electron Microscopy and Other Methods by Un-named Laboratory

Soil particles of about 1/4 micron in diameter (about 1/ 4000 i nch thick) were
found to be coated with a layer of l/50 micron thick of a "low atomic-weight
material" in which some small particles were imbedded. Unique icicle-shaped
crystals about 0.1 to 0.05 microns were found, each with a dozen or so spherical
globules of higher atomic weight adhering to the surface of the crystals. A
crystalline structure of a previously uncatalogued diffraction spacing was found
in the particle-coating material. These abnormalities were found only in the
soil near the surface of the ring.

One of the physicists commented "Incidentally . . • when I unwrapped the

soil samples . . . we were both hit with a brief coughing spell . Apparently the
dust has some irritating quality, and we're using respirators in handling the
stuff from now on." Publication by the laboratory of the complete analysis is
pending. (CUFOS)
