|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  October 20 |
| |
| 1950 - Four people flying over Camaguey province, Cuba in a Beech |
| Bonanza aircraft sighted a circular object with a diameter of 70-80 |
| feet flying at terrific speed at 7:40 p.m. (Sources: Dominique |
| Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 13; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A |
| History. 1950: August-December, p. 45). |
| |
| 1954 - Lucien Fisch saw an object land near Route N83 in Issenheim, |
| Haut-Rhin, France. It was luminous. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport |
| to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 234, case 290). |
| |
| 1954 - At 2:30 a.m. Lazlo Ujvari, age 40, saw a dark domed disc in |
| Raon-l'Etape, Vosges, France that made a whining noise. He was |
| suddenly confronted by a man wearing a jacket, boots, and some type |
| of cloth headgear, like a pilot's leather helmet. The man pointed a |
| gun at him and said something he could not understand. When Ujvari |
| spoke to him in Russian, the man answered in the same language. He |
| asked whether he was in Spain or Italy, and how far he was from |
| Germany. When he asked the time, Ujvari said "2:30." The man took out |
| a watch and said "You lie, it's 4:00." Then he wanted to know how far |
| away and in what direction was Marseilles. He forced Ujvari to walk |
| with him on the road, and they soon came to a gray craft with an |
| antenna on top. The man left him there and went aboard. When Ujvari |
| had walked about 200 meters from the craft he heard a soft whistling |
| sound and saw it fly straight up, then take an oblique trajectory. |
| (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| p. 235, case 291; Michel Carrouges, Les Apparitions de Martiens, p. |
| 99). |
| |
| 1954 - On or about this date, in Binghamton, New York a Mr. White |
| reported that he met two humanoids dressed in metallic snowsuits on |
| the golf course. They spoke English with a peculiar accent, and said |
| they would intervene in the event of a nuclear war. The UFO they |
| arrived in was round, disc-shaped with a glass ring on the rim. |
| Ground traces included burnt soil in a circle 14 feet in diameter. |

| |
| 1954 - During a rainstorm on this late afternoon in the Lusigny |
| Forest in Aube department, France Roger Reveille saw an oval flying |
| object close to the ground. It was six meters long and hovered at |
| treetop level. He felt intense heat coming from it. It shot up |
| vertically at great speed. Inside the woods the heat had become |
| intolerable and a cloud of dense smoke had formed under the rain. |
| After 15 minutes the witness was able to approach the site, and he |
| found the trees, grass, and ground perfectly dry. (Sources: Aime |
| Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 204; Jacques |
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 235, case |
| 292). |
| |
| 1954 - Several unknown objects maneuvered for two hours near the |
| village of St-Valery, Somme, France. One of them was very brilliant |
| and landed in a pasture. Two others were seen near a cliff in Mers, |
| France. They appeared to be in communication with UFOs in another |
| group by means of light signals. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 235, case 293; Paris Presse, |
| October 22, 1954). |
| |
| 1954 - In Turquenstein, Meurthe-et-Moselle, France at 6:30 p.m. Mr. |
| Schoubrenner, a 25-year-old truck driver, saw a bright light in the |
| distance and soon found his road blocked by a strange object. The |
| engine died, and he felt paralyzed: "My hands were as though glued to |
| the wheel." He also felt a sensation of heat inside his vehicle. The |
| craft looked like an inverted cone, the lower part phosphorescent, |
| the middle dull, and the top luminous with a yellow or orange point. |
| (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, |
| pp. 203-204; Flying Saucers, September 1962, p. 34; Richard Hall, The |
| UFO Evidence, p. 74; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century |
| of Landings, p. 235, case 294). |
| |
| 1954 - On this evening Mr. Renzo Pugina, age 37, had just parked his |
| car in the garage at his residence in Parravicino d'Erba, Italy when |
| he saw a strange being wearing a "scaly" luminous suit. It stood near |
| a tree and was about 1.3 meters (4.3 feet) tall. The entity had what |
| looked like a flashlight, and aimed a beam of light from it at him. |
| He felt paralyzed and was unable to move until he made a clenching |
| motion with his fist on the garage keys that he held in his hand. |
| Freed from the temporary paralysis he ran to attack the intruder, who |
| fled with a soft whirring sound. An oily spot was found at the site. |
| (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| pp. 235-236, case 295). |
| |
| 1955 - Manuel Gonzalez Vazquez and his neighbor Erminda where in a |
| field tending some cattle in Portela de Pau, Orense, Spain in the |
| late afternoon when they felt a slight tremor that lasted a few |
| minutes. Moments later they saw an undetermined figure inside a |
| “screen-like” image in the sky. The figure had a definite human |
| shape. Seconds later they spotted a second flying figure approaching |
| under the clouds. As the figure approached they could tell that it |
| was a female figure, flying at three meters above the ground. It |
| resembled an 18-year-old girl, and was a little over a meter in |
| height. Her hair was gathered up in a bun and she was wearing a light |
| turquoise colored cloak. The woman flew by the two witnesses and |
| turned to look at them but did not say anything. It eventually glided |
| away and disappeared from sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1955, citing Gaceta OVNI). |
| |
| 1973 - In the evening Mr. Mars Walker, a student at the University of |
| Georgia in Athens, Georgia observed a vague, purple shape about 50 |
| yards from the house. A humanoid being with tentacle-like protrusions |
| about the head came from it . He had hands with three or four |
| fingers. It wore a belt that had several odd objects hanging from it, |
| and appeared to be taking readings with them. The being completely |
| ignored the witness for the 30 minute period that the encounter |
| lasted. It was bathed in a green light from the UFO. Eventually it |
| was "taken back into the vessel." (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-51; David |
| F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The Humanoids). |
| |
| 1973 - The witness, a young women college student, had left college |
| for home and was then reported missing, her car having been found |
| abandoned in Indiana with the hood up by the side of the road. She |
| turned up four days later at a police station, and reported that she |
| had been driving along a deserted highway when her vehicle's engine |
| sputtered and died at around ten p.m. She stepped out to check on it |
| and was suddenly grabbed from behind by three creatures. She |
| described them as wearing white face masks, or having white faces |
| like molded plastic masks. Their eyes were large and set close to the |
| sides of the head, and they had three-fingered, claw-like hands. They |
| all wore metallic blue coveralls with a white stripe down the side. |
| She was floated onboard a domed, disc- shaped object that was sitting |
| on a nearby field. She was forced into a room, stripped, and then |
| strapped to a table. Then she was given an extensive medical exam in |
| which several needles were inserted into her body. She was left |
| briefly alone in the brightly lit room, and then strapped to a chair. |
| There several electrode-like devices were attached to her body and |
| the creatures interrogated her at length. She was later given water |
| and some food, which she did not eat, and released on a lonely |
| stretch of road. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1973, case #1414, citing Kevin D. Randle, The October |
| Scenario). |
| |
| 1973 - A 48-year-old homemaker in Gerena, Sevilla province, Spain was |
| in her kitchen washing dishes at 11:15 p.m. when she saw her patio |
| suddenly light up. She next saw an oval-shaped object descend and |
| emit a loud grinding noise. On each end of the object there was a |
| bright red square, while the object's central section appeared |
| transparent. She saw two dark figures inside the UFO. The object |
| descended very close to the ground, emitting a loud sound, and then |
| then shot upwards while increasing in luminescence. (Source: Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1973, case #81, citing |
| Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos & Fernandez Peri, Enciclopedia De Los |
| Encuentros Cercanos con OVNIS). |
| |
| 1973 - Late at night nine campers, a group of students led by three |
| adults, had gone to El Yunque Mountain Park in Puerto Rico hoping to |
| "contact" UFOs and their occupants. They made camp high up on a |
| mountain trail. Mr. Heriberto Ramos, the group's leader, said that at |
| one point during their ascent they met three persons heading down the |
| trail. There was nothing "alien" about the trio aside from the fact |
| that they all dressed exactly alike and had similar features. One of |
| the group members, who had stayed behind, took a photo of the three |
| mysterious walkers, but only a patch of mist appeared on the |
| developed film. |
| |
| Later that night the campers found themselves surrounded by five or |
| six vaguely humanoid figures who darted about the thick vegetation. |
| They had claw-like hands and elongated ears. Some of these "monsters" |
| blocked the precipice flanked trail that constituted the only way |
| down from the mountain. Mr. Ramos tried walking cautiously toward pne |
| being, hoping to show that his intentions were amicable. He got to |
| within ten feet from the creature, and was able to describe it as |
| having a triangular head and "extraordinary" eyes. He even he managed |
| to touch the strange being, which did not stir. Its skin felt neither |
| cold nor rubbery. Almost simultaneously, one of his students lit a |
| large, powerful flashlight flooding the area with light. The clawed |
| creature reacted by racing away from the scene, literally tearing a |
| path right through the dense vegetation. |
| |
| The path led to a 100 foot drop, giving Ramos the impression that |
| they had frightened the being into jumping. But to his amazement it |
| reappeared instantly at the side of its companions, who were still |
| blocking the downhill path. From then until the sky began to lighten |
| the besieged campers were watched by the beings, who remained in |
| constant motion around them. Terror had led one of the students to |
| bang himself repeatedly on the head with a flashlight, hoping to |
| escape the situation by passing out. Seized by an inexplicable urge, |
| another camper expressed a desire to take a walk in the woods. |
| Fearing for his mental state, one of his companions offered to walk |
| with him. Before they'd taken more than a dozen steps, they found |
| what could only be described as a glimmering, polychromatic "egg" |
| lying on the ground. While entranced by the curious flashing object, |
| neither one felt brave enough to touch it. |
| |
| Later that night they saw it in the claws of one of the alien |
| creatures. At sunrise the campers made a mad dash for their cars that |
| were parked at the bottom of the mountain. No trace of the aliens |
| remained aside from their footprints, which were much larger than a |
| human's and appeared to have been made by heavy creatures. The |
| campers made plaster casts of the prints and photographed them. These |
| materials were stolen by unknown parties some months after the |
| incident. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
