From A Bizarre UFO Attack in the Korean War – May 1951
A very bizarre account from the Korean War emerged in January of 1987, when John Timmerman, of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS), sat down for an interview with a former U.S. Army private first class (PFC) by the name of Mr. Francis P. Wall, who had a most unusual tale to tell. Wall had been deployed with the Army infantry, 25th Division, 27th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 'Easy' Company, and in May of 1951 they were operating outside of Chorwon, in an area known by the military as the Iron Triangle, on a mission to reach a small village in the mountains.

The men were understandably very unsettled by this point, as the object was obviously not one of theirs, nor any known aircraft any of them had ever seen before, and they radioed the situation in to their superiors, requesting permission to open fire on it. Why they would think that their rifles would do any good when they had just witnessed it casually make its way through artillery explosions is anyone’s guess, but the permission was granted and Wall claims that he would then open fire on it with his M-1 rifle loaded with armor piercing bullets. He claims that he hit the object several times, hearing the pings of the bullets against what sounded like metal, and the bullets seemed to have an effect on it where the artillery had not, apparently damaging it and causing it to exhibit some strange behavior. Wall would say:
Now why would that bullet damage this craft if the artillery rounds didn't? I don't know, unless they had dropped their protective field around them, or whatever. But the object went wild, and the light was going on and off. It went off completely once, briefly. And it was moving erratically from side to side as though it might crash to the ground. Then, a sound — we had heard no sound previous to this — the sound of, like, diesel locomotives revving up. That's the way this thing sounded.
This was where things would get pretty harrowing, as according to Wall the craft unleashed some sort of a retaliatory attack on them. The craft allegedly emitted a kind of ray or beam that came in pulses, and which they could see aiming at them “like a searchlight.” When the ray swept over them the men found themselves overcome with a tingling, burning sensation, and while it didn’t seem to be causing any visible damage they could feel it penetrating through their skin and the pain was enough to make them scramble for cover, scurrying in a panic into their bunkers, where the attack seemed to continue.

From Guard shoots 3 times at UFO – Brazil 1970
https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/x6v0i4/guard_shoots_3_times_at_ufo_and_is_blinded_by_a/
on the night of Sunday, August 30, 1970, at 9:45 pm, that Almiro Martins de Freitas, guard at the Funil Hydroelectric Power Plant, in Resende, in the state of Rio, had his immediate contact with a strange flying object.
(SNIP)
Almiro's first reaction was to run away from the unknown object, but as he hovered directly over the dam, he remembered that if it broke, four villages and thousands of lives would be lost. Then he approached, pulled out his .38 caliber revolver and fired at the UFO. Instantly, the lights in the rectangle grew brighter and [it] began to make a noise reminiscent of witnessing a jet engine turbine. He took a few more steps forward and fired his second and third shots at the object. Instantly, a bluish silver ray shot out of the UFO and hit his body, making him feel “pins and needles” everywhere. De Freitas closed his eyes momentarily, but when he opened them, he could no longer see.
Witnesses corroborating the case
Other guards at the hydroelectric plant also saw the object and started running to help it, when Almiro blindly shot the UFO for the third time.
“Don't look,” shouted Almiro to the other guards. "Caution! The flash blinded me!”
The guards who attended to him heard each of the three shots ricocheting off the UFO. They had difficulty moving their partner who was temporarily paralyzed and blinded.

Both cases compared:
- Soldiers/guards fire bullets that strike UFOs
- Both UFOs make a noise like an engine revving up. In one case the UFO makes "the sound of, like, diesel locomotives revving up", in the other case the UFO makes "a noise reminiscent of witnessing a jet engine turbine".
- Immediately after the revving noises (as if the UFOs were charging their weapons), they fire a "beam" of energy.
- The energy beams cause victims to fell sensations similar to electrocution.
