|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  February 19 |
| |
| 1951 - Twelve witnesses flying in an airliner, including two men name |
| Bicknell and Merrifield, while flying near Mount Kilimanjaro in |
| Tanzania sighted a 200 foot long bullet shaped UFO at 7:20 a.m. At |
| one end of the object was a square-cut, vertical fin. The body of the |
| craft was a dull silver cover, but at intervals along the fuselage |
| were dark vertical bands. The object hovered over Mount Kilimanjaro |
| for several minutes, then moved away fast towards the east at an |
| estimated speed of 1,000 km per hour. They took a photograph of it. |

| Reference for Outstanding UFO Sighting Reports, case 9; J. Bernard |
| Delair, UFO Register, Volume 6 (1975), p. 36; Project Blue Book files |
| counted in official statistics; Cynthia Hind, UFO Afri-News, January |
| 1990). |
| |
| 1952 - A reddish-orange fireball zig-zagged for 15 minutes over |
| Corona, California shortly after 6:00 p.m. In addition to zigzagging |
| the ball of light swooped up and down. There were three witnesses. |
| The case was listed as an unknown by Project Blue Book. At 8:00 p.m. |
| three or more green balls of light stopped in midair in Richmond, |
| California. They then shot away to the south-southwest toward San |
| Francisco. (Sources: (1) Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case # 2364; (1) & (2) Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. |
| 1952: January-May, p. 18). |
| |
| 1956 - An Eastern Airlines flight crew reported that a white |
| nocturnal light buzzed their plane over Houston, Texas at 6:07 p.m., |
| and then paced them for 28 minutes. A Project Blue Book unknown. |

| Gribble, MUFON UFO Journal, February 1992, p. 15; Don Berliner, |
| Project Blue Book Unknowns, p. 25). |
| |
| 1962 - Three commercial fishermen driving south on the Dauphin Island |
| Toll Bridge Causeway in Alabama saw a reddish-orange object to the |
| south at about 10° elevation at 6:00 p.m. It changed shape from a |
| round spherical object to an ellipsoidal, football shape, and then |
| became covered with a (possibly artificially produced) fog.The object |
| was estimated to be about one-third the apparent diameter of the sun. |
| They stopped the car to call Dauphin Island AFS radar site (693rd |
| Radar Squadron), which by coincidence happened to have two airmen |
| driving north on the causeway in the opposite direction, and who also |
| saw the object to the west. It was therefore possible to triangulate |
| the object's location at about 30°16' N, 88° 10' W, and between 2-5 |
| miles away from the civilian observers; the object's actual size was |
| computed to be at least 30 feet in length. No radar contact was |
| reported. Venus had set 30 minutes earlier. (Sources: Robert D. Boyd, |
| A Comparative Unit, p. 89; UNICAT, case # 449; Francis Ridge, |
| www.nicap.com\Chronology\1962 UFO Chronology.htm). |
| |
| 1964 - On this evening in Gum Creek, South Australia Mrs. Player saw |
| a yellow glowing domed disc-shaped object approach, and then hover |
| making a "tick-a-tick" sound. Inside the transparent dome of the |
| craft a man could be seen standing at "wooden railing". (Sources: |
| Bill Chalker, The Oz Files, p. 14; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # A0582). |
| |
| 1967 - At 4:30 p.m. Mrs. Lambert and Mrs. Rigel watched a gun-metal |
| gray blunt oval shaped disc, about 25 feet in diameter with a rough |
| bottom, hovering at 20 feet altitude over a plaza in Hollywood, |
| Florida. It had a row of revolving green lights, a row of yellow |
| windows, and an antenna. The heads of people could be seen looking |
| out from inside the windows of the craft. (Sources: David F. Webb & |
| Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A0789; |
| Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, |
| p. 328). |
| |
| 1967 - On this night some prominent local citizens had a close |
| encounter with a 50-60 foot wide domed disc-shaped object with a |
| large window on top and a band of colored lights on the bottom. It |
| crossed the highway in Lane City, Texas just 54 meters ahead of |
| the car at treetop level. It then stopped and hovered, and |
| finally sped away. (Sources: Houston Tribune, 19670223; Richard H. |
| Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 328 & |
| 452). |

| bolted. (Source: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A |

| database, case # 10375, citing NICAP UFO Investigator, April 1976). |
| |
| 1974 - A police officer and a gas station operator in Rochester, |
| Minnesota saw a UFO "bigger than a wrecker truck" at 11:27 p.m. It |
| had a white dome shell on top, several afterburners flaming from the |
| bottom, and flew at an altitude of only 100 feet. (Sources: CUFOS |
| case files, report dated February 20, 1974; George D. Fawcett, FSR, |

| |
| 1975 - A woman driving in Orbak, Denmark reported that at 7:19 |
| p.m.--the same moment that a large circular object descended behind |
| her VW car--the engine and lights failed completely. The object gave |
| off a brilliant blue luminescence and the witness felt a sensation of |
| increased heat in its presence and a prickly sensation. After a few |
| moments the object abruptly vanished and the car could be started. |
| The witness became physically ill after the sighting. There were |
| marks left on the car. (Sources: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports |
| Involving Vehicle Interference, case 378, citing MUFON UFO Journal, |
| August 1976; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty |
| Year Report, p. 255). |

| 1976 - During a series of close encounter reports from the city of |
| North Bergen, New Jersey, at two o'clock in the morning a Mr. |
| Daliz noticed a human figure in Hudson Park with a light attached to |
| his head, bent over and apparently picking things up from the ground |
| and putting them into a little bag. The witness thought the man was |
| wearing a one-piece uniform, and seemed to be dragging his feet as he |
| walked. He continued doing this activity for 20 minutes. No UFO was |
| seen at the time. (Sources: Ted Bloecher, FSR, October 1976, p. 6; |
| Ted Bloecher, MUFON UFO Journal, March 1976, p. 14; David F. Webb & |
| Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1976-39 |

| |
| 1979 - At noon four police officers viewed a bluish silvery disc in |
| the sky over Dixon, Solano County, California through binoculars. It |
| looked "like a frisbee that was dropped and floating down." The outer |
| portions of the object looked reflective but it was dark in the |
| middle. No weather balloons were in the area at the time. (Source: |
| Dixon Tribune, February 22, 1979; UFO Newsclipping Service, April |

| silently over the city of Kunming, Yunan Province, China at low |
| altitude on a clear day. town, silent, clear sky. At 5:50 p.m. an |
| object shaped like a double cylinder, similar to a tuna can on top of |
| a soup can, maneuvered over a mining area in the mountains of |
| Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China making a roaring sound. (Source: |
| Wendelle Stevens & Paul Dong, UFOs over Modern China, pp. 207-208). |
| |
| 1981 - On this evening Mr. & Mrs. Morgan in Corte Madera, California |
| had a close encounter with a gray metallic, rounded disc-shaped |
| object the size of a house. It hovered over some trees giving off |
| a pink and blue aura. It had brilliant square headlights and a blue |
| light underneath. It made a deep, low-pitched sound like a |
| hydroelectric plant. (Source: Joe Graziano, APRO Bulletin, January |

| |
| 1982 - At 9:15 p.m. Juan Fattorel, age 41, was driving his truck |
| along a secondary road in Allen, Rio Negro Province, Argentina when |
| his engine suddenly cut out. He coasted to a stop and pulled over to |
| the side of the road. He next heard a loud buzzing sound coming |
| somewhere from his left and in close proximity. When he looked he |
| saw a small silvery mushroom-shaped disc hovering a meter over the |
| ground about 10 meters away. It appeared to be balancing itself with |
| short ascending and descending movements. At that moment his eyesight |
| began to become blurry. He next heard a deep "electronic" voice |
| coming from the object, which sounded somewhat threatening in nature. |
| It told him to step out of the truck. Frightened, he refused to move, |
| thinking he would be robbed. When he attempted to restart the truck |
| he felt a painful, tingling sensation in his neck and blacked out. He |
| experienced at least 20 minutes of missing time. When he woke up he |
| was unable to see clearly, with a buzzing sound in his ears and still |
| feeling some pain in his neck. He had some unexplained burns on |
| his skin. A passing motorist picked him up, and he was hospitalized |
| in a state of confusion, shock, and disorientation. (Sources: La |
