The 1984 UFO Chronology
Created: March 15, 2008 This is currently a 14-page chronology of UFO incidents and events for 1984. Our thanks for these chronologies must go to Richard Hall (the original 1984 chronology from UFOE II), Dan Wilson (archive researcher), and Jean Waskiewicz (online NICAP DBase [NSID]). You will note the many foreign reports that we are now being able to access. Our special thanks to Dan Wilson for getting those to us. As more come in, this page will be updated. Previous chronologies (1947 to 1969) involved the expertise of two other team members: William Wise (Project Blue Book Archive) and Brad Sparks (Comprehensive Catalog of Project Blue Book Unknowns). Bob Gribble's entries are those filed with the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle, Washington, now operated by Peter Davenport.

Jan. 8, 1984; outside Cozad, NE
3:15 AM. CST. On Interstate 80 three people driving in a van outside Cozad saw a 100-foot diameter disc hover 80 feet over the highway. It was blazingly brilliant and had more than 15 colored circular lights around the rim. They heard an intermittent beeping on the van's CB radio. (Source: International UFO Reporter, March 1984, p. 10). Jan. 9, 1984; Capron, IN 6:30 AM. While driving his truck down a country road, the witness observed a large meteor-like object in a high speed vertical descent to the left of his vehicle. He lost sight of the object for a few seconds at tree level. Suddenly, an object covered with white lights appeared at treetop level on the left side of his vehicle, maneuvered around behind the truck, then passed the truck on the right side and moved down the highway and out of sight. The driver described the object as looking like a football turned up on end, metallic-grey in color, about 150 feet tall and moving about 50 feet off the ground and about 100 feet from his vehicle. He could detect no sound and observed the object for about one minute. (MUJ-190) Jan. 9, 1984; Pearsonville, CA

9:30 PM. Mr. & Mrs. Sprinster had a close encounter with
a multi-colored triangular shaped UFO 10 miles west of Torrington on
Route 4. The object moved very slowly, and dropped in altitude to pace
their car. Its underside was crisscrossed with tubes and grill work. A
red light in the center of the object detached, circled the object
three times, then returned back to its original position. It left by
making a sharp turn to the south. The encounter lasted 10 minutes.

road and had red lights on the bottom; it flew off to the north.
(Source: Robert Gribble, MUFON UFO Journal, December 1984, p. 5).
Jan. 21, 1984; Near Jasper, NY
9:30 PM. While driving home to Edison, a mother and two children watched in amazement as an enormous gold, oval-shaped object appeared to pace their car. As they watched, the object appeared to land on a nearby ridge and after a few seconds it ascended into the sky. The mother said the object repeated this maneuver several times and when she increased and decreased the speed of the car, the object did the same. At one time the object moved across the sky, then returned to the area near her car. (Bob Gribble) Jan. 22, 1984; 30 miles East of Toledo, OH
7:25 AM. The cabin crew of United Airlines flight 729, flying westbound at 43,000 feet, observed a blurry bright red object about the size of a DC-9 airliner move from northeast to southwest. The object, which was in view for only a few seconds, left a contrail which the airliner passed through. Jan. 22, 1984; Nr. Way Cross. GA
7:00 PM. While parked in a wooded area, a young couple spotted a large object approaching their car at treetop level. The object crossed the logging road near their car, went across an open area to a stand of trees, then turned end-for-end. At this point the driver put the car in gear and started down the road at a high rate of speed. Then the object made its way back toward the road and took a position directly over the car at a very low altitude. The object had an L-shaped light pattern on the underside with two brilliant red lights and one green light. The glow from the red lights lit up the inside of the car and both occupants became hysterical. When the car reached the county road, the driver turned left and the object turned right. Then the object swung around and moved in behind the car and followed the fleeing vehicle for about 75 feet, turned left, and moved away at a high rate of speed. The sheriffs office received several calls about a strange lighted object in the area that night. (Bob Gribble) Jan. 22, 1984; Arnold, MO
7:00 PM. Two occupants of a car observed a circular object with three brilliant white lights and a corona of white light covering its entire surface. As the object approached the car the driver made a 180 degree evasive turn only to have the object pull alongside and pace his vehicle. After about three minutes the object pulled away and left the area. The driver estimated that the object got to within 150 feet of the car, maintained an altitude of about 150 feet and was at least 25 feet in diameter. A vertical shaft of white light was also observed coming from the top of the object. After arriving home two witnesses observed three helicopters moving about in the area where the object was seen. Jan. 22, 1984; Huntington, WV
7:09 PM. On the way outdoors to start his car the witness observed a large brilliant ball of orange light in a stationary position about 900 feet above the neighbors house. The glow from the ball illuminated the entire ground area. After watching the object for about a minute it suddenly moved to the west at a high rate of speed. He detected no sound coming from the object. (Bob Gribble) Jan. 27. 1984; Valley Center, CA
5:40 AM. Four witnesses observed five large, brilliant, stationary white lights in the northern sky. Four of the lights were in a diamond formation with the fifth light in the center of the formation. After watching the display for several minutes they noticed smaller white lights maneuvering around the large lights. The small lights increased in number to a total of about 100 within a few minutes. Suddenly the formation moved away to the northwest and was accompanied by the small lights. As the formation started to move, the witnesses detected a soft humming sound. When first sighted the lights were estimated to be two miles distant. The observation lasted for about eight minutes. (Bob Gribble) Jan. 27, 1984; King Of Prussia, PA
6:15 AM. Two young boys delivering papers observed a big circular object with lights around the edge hovering over houses about two blocks distant. They watched the object for several seconds, then it ascended into the sky at about a 45 degree angle. The boys did not detect any sound. (Bob Gribble) Jan. 28. 1984; Flemington, NJ
6:30 PM. A young couple sighted an orange ball descending through the cloud layer and appeared to land on a ridge behind the tree line. Twenty minutes later the husband observed a big, bright object ascending vertically from the same ridge, pause in mid-air, then move horizontally and disappear in the distance. The object that descended appeared to be as big as a hot air balloon. (The Center received 55 calls from a 15 county area describing the descent of a glowing object over New Jersey.) Jan. 30, 1984; 40 miles west of Miami, FL
9:00 PM. Mine men working on an oil platform observed a bright orange object descending from the sky at a high rate of speed. When at an estimated altitude of 10,000 feet and about five miles distant, the object came to an instant stop. The bright orange glow faded and the crew observed an object with a bright chrome dome-shaped top and dozens of flashing lights on the underside. All witnesses agreed that the object was huge: no less than 200 feet in diameter. After remaining stationary for about ten seconds the object turned a bright orange and instantly moved away to the east at a high rate of speed. The total observation time was about one minute. (A witness at Jensen Beach, about 100 miles northeast of the oil platform, observed the object dropping from the sky in a high speed vertical descent. Two witnesses in the Miami area also saw the object; one while the object was stationary west of Miami and the other while the object was moving to the east.) (Bob Gribble) Jan. 28, 1984; Flemington, NJ
6:30 PM. An orange sphere was seen to land on a ridge. Two
witnesses saw the UFO descend and land, while many others saw a bigger
object rise from the same spot 20 minutes later. (Source: International
UFO Reporter, March 1984, p. 7).
Feb. 3, 1984; Tingsryd, Sweden
1:00 AM. Mr. Jonsson was driving home when he saw a
disc-shaped object 80 meters across and some 5-10 meters above the road
ahead of him. He got to his home, got his camera, and went back to the
site of his encounter. His car stalled, and he recalled seeing several
beings who attempted to abduct him. He had nearly two hours of missing
time. An independent witness verified seeing the UFO. (Sources: Doris
Graziano, APRO Bulletin, June 1985, p. 8; Thomas E. Bullard, UFO
Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery, case 270).
Feb. 7, 1984; Atco, NJ
4:00 AM. The witness
awoke to a loud humming sound and found his room illuminated by a
bright light. He got out of bed and went to the window and saw a bright
white circular object with a hump on top in a stationary position about
four feet above his neighbors yard. He estimated that the object was
about 200 feet from him and the size of a small car. He saw an image
like a man next to the object. The image vanished and the object
ascended in a zigzag pattern, then moved away at a high rate of speed.
The witness felt he observed the object for no more than ten seconds.
He checked with the neighbors and they said they didn't see or hear
anything.
Feb. 22. 1984; Columbus, OH 4:00 PM. This sighting was by five highly educated witnesses. The object's appearance underwent a regular change (possible rotation) approximately every 60 seconds from an upside-down ice cream cone to a rectangle. No circular or balloon-shaped component was visible above it and it appeared to have traveled 5-10 miles during the period of observation. It was first sighted over the Ohio State University and traveled to the northeast. It appeared higher in elevation than the aircraft leaving Port Columbus airport, but otherwise its elevation could not be determined. An investigator, Warren Nicholson, said that in checking with Port Columbus (east of the sighting location) immediately after the sighting, he found that the ground wind speed was 0 and that the airport radar had not detected anything. (MUJ-217) Feb. 29, 1984; Columbus, OH
3:30 PM. On the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus,
Ohio witnesses observed a black sphere half a meter in diameter that
hovered just over a University building, then shot off very fast toward
the southeast. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, May 1986).
Feb. 29, 1984; Mechanicsburg, PA
9:00 PM. A man and his dog in Mechanicsburg witnessed a 40
foot wide diamond-shaped object wobbling in the southeast sky at an
estimated 50 feet altitude. He also reported interference on his TV
set. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, April 1984).
March 6, 1984; west of Norris, SD
10:00 PM. A large boomerang or U-shaped UFO was seen by two
police officers, Jensen and Myers, west of Norris, South Dakota, after
having been called out on a reported sighting of the UFO by a citizen
ten minutes earlier. (Source: J. Allen Hynek, International UFO
Reporter, March 1984, p. 6).
March 11, 1984; Wolcott, CT

April 1984; Stanmore, Middlesex, England PC Richard Milthorp was one of at least 20 uniformed officers
who observed a dome shaped circular UFO that appeared to ‘fire’ balls
of light to the ground for two hours. He submitted a report with
one other officer that was sent to the Ministry of Defence and the
Civil Aviation Authority. The Superintendent for Harrow Police station
at the time said that the report by MILTHORP and PC PAUL ISLES was made
by “two normal sensible men.” UFO Classification NL (Nocturnal Light)

April 19, 1984; at an eastern airport in England
16.00 GMT. Air traffic controllers at an eastern airport in
England witnessed a glowing sphere that looked like "masses of silver
paper crinkled up" touch down on a cross runway, then rocket skyward in
a maneuver they judged impossible for aircraft. It climbed 3000 feet in
under a second. (Source: International UFO Reporter, March-April 1986,

the time. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, November 1984). April 25, 1984; The Orkney Islands, Scotland
5:30 PM. A silver colored, 150 foot long, bulbous-shaped
object with a long tail hung in the sky, rocking back and forth 80 feet
above the ground over a garden in Blairgowrie, The Orkney Islands,
Scotland. Mrs. Freeman's dog cowered, and she was temporarily blinded
by a ball of light from the object that struck her and entered her
body, and she felt the warmth emitted by it but at the same time felt a
sensation of calm. A beam of light flowed upward from the object. After
a few minutes the object vanished in a pink flash. (Sources: Ron
Halliday, UFO Scotland: The Secret History of Scotland's UFO

in a car as the UFO passed over them at 100 feet while they were
driving down American Canyon Road in Napa, California. The UFO was
first seen at 9:55 p.m., and described as delta shaped and over 300
feet wide. It flew away up the canyon, and was in sight for five
minutes. (Sources: Robert Gribble, International UFO Reporter, May

11:00 AM. A humanoid wearing an odd helmet was seen in the
woods west of Macomer, Sardinia, Italy by two children. There was an
odd silence that permeated the encounter, which lasted only a couple of
minutes. A disc-shaped object rose from the forest floor, then flew off
to the east-northeast. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case
14138, citing CISU). At 1400 hours GMT a ultra-sensitive orbiting US DSP (Defense
Support Program) spy satellite detected the entry of an unknown object
that passes 15 miles in front of it, and then flew below it over the
Indian Ocean. An alert was
triggered at the North America Air Defense Command. Object moving at
22,000 miles per hour., changed course, and flew back out into outer
space. (Source: Michael D. Hall, UFOs: A Century of Sightings, p. 324).
May 6, 1984; Williston, FL
Time not given. A 13-year-old boy working at a kennel in
Williston, Florida heard a humming noise, and noticed that the dogs
were attempting to hide in their pens and whining. As he went out to
investigate the area turned red with illumination, and a bright red
disc-shaped object hovered only 20 feet over his head. He felt heat
coming from the object. When he returned to the dog pens, the dogs
barked at him and would not let him inside. (Sources: Robert Gribble,
International UFO Reporter, May 1984, p. 16; MUFON UFO Journal, May

May 7, 1984
Instructions for Reporting UFOs (pg. 458, Above Top secret) May 18, 1984; Mt. Vernon, IN 10:40 PM. A Skywatch team observed a flashing strobe light coming out of the NE heading SW. These routine Skywatches were conducted so that investigators could stay familiar with conventional objects and new aircraft lighting systems. All three members were watching the "bogey" with binoculars as it came out of the NE. The bright strobing light had no other FAA lighting features and no sound was ever heard. While moving towards the observers at a pretty good clip, the object, to the amazement of all three witnesses, executed a full flight reversal without a turn radius. The object then passed directly over the team at high altitude and exhibited animalistic motion during final distant five minutes of the 12 minute observation. (MUFON Indiana, Ridge files) May 19, 1984; Williams, IN Midnight. The witness said that he was outside behind his house working on equipment. It was a warm clear Saturday night. His wife was inside sleeping and two of his neighbors had just left after stopping to visit him. He was working by electric light and suddenly noticed everything around him became brightly lit. He looked up to see that the light source was a brilliant orange-colored light, low in the northwest. He said that it was totally silent and there was only the light, no craft could be seen. He went inside to call his two neighbors to come back and see the strange light, but did not wake his wife who is a sound sleeper. He then went back outside and the UFO was there as it was before. Approximately ten to fifteen minutes had passed since he first noticed the light and it then began to drift away to the northwest where he lost sight of it. Shortly, his neighbors arrived but they did not see the UFO and teased him about seeing things. Object reportedly 400-500 feet away. (Palmiter, MUFON Indiana FI, Ridge files) May 20, 1984; Monroe City, IN Evening. Black triangle came in, stopped over car for one minute, 200-300 feet overhead, moved off.

a Boeing 747 airliner if all connected to one object, passed directly
over the home of an IBM engineer in Hawthorne, Westchester County, New
York It made no sound as it passed overhead except a faint humming. All
lights simultaneously turned blue, and then made a tight 180-degree
turn and flew off to the north. (Source: Philip Imbrogno, International

July 15, 1984; northwest of Detroit, ME
9:05 PM. Carol Cloukey and Robert White had been on their
way to Pittsfield, Maine for dinner. After traveling about a mile they
rounded a bend and Carol, who was driving, was the first to see a
bright yellowish-orange light. Suddenly the light made a perfect
vertical drop in mid-air. They sped up to get ahead of the object, but
the light dropped lower again, and was now dead center above the car
windshield. Carol stopped and slammed the car into reverse. After
backing up about 50 feet they saw that the object was alongside of them
on the left side of the car and about 150 off the ground. The glow had
subsided, and in the evening twilight it appeared grayish in color,
triangular shaped, and larger than a 747 aircraft. It had 4 red lights
and 1 or 2 brighter white lights. It made no sound. Robert opened his
door to see if it was possible to make a 180-degree turn, and he told
her to back into the driveway of a farmhouse. The object was now almost
directly above them at an approximate altitude of 100 feet. He observed
that when they stopped the UFO stopped, and when they moved the UFO
moved! It became apparent that "it" did not want to let them go. Robert
got out of the car and started to run toward the farmhouse. Carol
called to him that another car was coming down the road. The UFO now
began to move away slightly, traveling in a northeasterly direction for
a distance of a few hundred feet when it suddenly vanished right before
their eyes. Robert later expressed wonderment that such a large object
could suddenly disappear in such an inexplicable manner. They estimated
that the total incident took about two minutes to transpire. (Source:
