Excerpts
In 1974, Robert Gribble started the National UFO Reporing Center (NUFORC) near Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. The NUFORC's 24 hour hotline number was distributed to police, airports and military bases, with a request to refer claimed UFO witnesses to the NUFORC. Gribble or his associates took hundreds of telephone calls from people who claimed to have seen UFOs.
The NUFORC still operates as of March, 2009, now with Peter Davenport as director. Witnesses range from ordinary citizens to pilots, military personnel, Federal Aviation Administration employees, police and scientists.

Ufo's chasing cars down the highway eh? Can't say I have heard of anything like this before.

Its good to see the lesser known cases that are just as compelling getting some renewed attention!

Writes Ann Druffel,
“This body of water lies between the coastlines of Southern California and Santa Catalina Island, 20 miles offshore to the southwest. The area has for at least thirty years been the scene of UFO reports of all kinds: surface sightings of hazy craft which cruise leisurely in full view of military installations, aerial spheres bobbing in oscillating flight, gigantic cloud-cigars, and at least one report of an underwater UFO with uniformed occupants.”
Another researcher, Robert Stanley, editor of the now defunct magazine Unicus, writes,
“Even in the sixties, families were going down to the beach and waiting for a UFO to pass by…. By the 1970s, whole families were going down to the beach at Point Dume at night to watch the multi-colored UFOs [that] would sink under the water at times.”
MUFON field investigator Bill Hamilton writes,
“For years witnesses have seen many types of UFO cruising off the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern California. UFOs have actually been seen to come out of the water in the San Pedro Channel.”
I had already uncovered several firsthand cases myself. My next step was to put together a comprehensive list of all the recorded ocean-going encounters in the area.
I came up with more than 50 sightings..

New link for the February 2006 Fate Magazine article detailing some pretty remarkable historical UFO/USO sightings in that specific area:

I wonder how much 'temporal cross checking' is done; that is, when an event happen, what else happens within a bounded period of time in other locations?
The one instance that I think about was the Hopkinsville Goblins being followed by an incident in southern California the following day.
Also wonder if their is any periodicity to such 'collections' of events that occur in close proximity to each as far as the date they took place on.

• "We looked up and we could see clearly the defined shape of a pie shaped object - a saucer. I mean I hate to use that term but it was a saucer shaped object.
There was a rim, we could see a rim, and within the rim was just this one big, brilliant, brilliant light that kept shining on our car."

That's just some weird crazy shiz.
This reminds me of a couple of past cases where UFO witnesses were injured by light beams.
There are many reports of strange "beams of light" emanating from UFOs. Some have been described as "searchlights, which would turn in a sweeping motion, shining light opposite to the direction the UFO is moving". Other beams are described as "laser-like" (focused, seem to exhibit no dispersion with distance - collimated light), but may also appear "almost solid", propagate (extend/retract) slowly, and stop abruptly in mid-air.
UFO Light Beam Cases.
Statistical analysis of US UFO reports show how coastlines to major bodies of water generate a far higher number of reports.

I remember one from the UK in the 80's where a ufo shot a green beam on a woman's hand and burned her skin.

Since these are cases with potential physical evidence, I'm surprised they don't get more attention from ufologists.
