|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  May 4 |
| |
| 1897 - The whole town of Jenny Lind, Arkansas watched an airship fly |
| over from the northeast to the southwest at 7:30 p.m. It landed, and |
| a human looking occupant got out. He spoke English, and told them he |
| was out to "catch birds." (Sources: St. Louis Post Dispatch, May 5, |
| 1897; Jerome Clark, The Unidentified: Notes Toward Solving the UFO |
| Mystery, p. 147; Philip L. Rife, It Didn't Start with Roswell, p. |
| 24). |
| |
| 1932 - During a time of personal crises, the witness, now a retired |
| pastor, found himself in a city of 16,000 located 150 miles west of |
| Toronto, Ontario. On this particular night he was standing on a |
| street lit up by a brilliant white light from above. Looking up, he |
| saw the light came from a round cloud with a scalloped edge, about |
| 200 yards overhead. From the cloud-like object streamed down a light |
| like a laser beam. He next saw a young man with golden hair standing |
| beside him, dressed in a suit of a similar color. The man had radiant |
| blue eyes, and was about 5.5 feet tall. He smiled at the witness and |
| told him that his work would be in that city, and reminded him that |
| “the cottages in the rear of the mansion are as important as those |
| who dwell in the mansion.” He told him the witness would reside there |
| for six years and would then work his way to the west coast. |
| According to the man’s account, the prophecies were fulfilled. |
| (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case 1932-01 (A0103), citing John Musgrave & Ted Bloecher). |
| |
| 1950 - At 10:00 p.m. in Birmingham, Alabama a ghostly object grew and |
| changed shape; it flashes; then suddenly shoots up and is gone. There |
| were two witnesses together and an additional independent observer, |
| and the event lasted 10 minutes. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case # 1722; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: |
| April-July, p. 41). |
| |
| 1953 - On this afternoon at 1:50 p.m. a military witness at Harmon |
| AFB, Newfoundland, Canada watched a flying football fly by at low |
| altitude and high speed, heading south. It made a tinny sound. The |
| sighting had a 3 second duration. (Source: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A |
| History. 1953: March-July, p. 47). |
| |
| 1954 - On the night of May 4th, 1954, three police officers in Canfield, |
| Ohio watched a reddish orange, glowing disc fly out of sight. |
| (Source: Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying Saucer Conspiracy, p. 144). |
| |
| 1955 - One year later, at 1:38 p.m. at the Keflavik Air Force Base in |
| Iceland, two USAF officers, USAF Lt. Col. E. J. Stealy and 1st Lt. J. |
| W. Burt, spotted 10 white oval-shaped objects, some 60-70 feet in |
| diameter, moving "rapidly and jerkily." One of them left a brief |
| smoke trail. The UFOs moved at a tremendous rate of speed, and were |
| gone from sight in five seconds. This case was listed as an "unknown" |
| by Project Blue Book. (Sources: Project Blue Book case files counted |
| in official statistics, case #3523; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook |
| Unknowns; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 61). |
| |
| 1960 - A yellow, cigar-shaped or elliptical object with four evenly |
| spaced windows was observed at ground level by an architect in |
| Sarasota, Florida at 9:15 a.m. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 504; NICAP Special Bulletin, May |
| 1960, p. 4; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 138; George D. |
| Fawcett, Flying Saucers, December 1967, p. 24 & September 1970, |
| p. 6). |
| |
| 1960 - In 1960 a giant cigar-shaped object crossed the skies over the town |
| of Botocatu, Brazil during the daytime. It moved at a tremendous |
| speed and was gone from sight in 30 seconds. (Source: Coral E. |
| Lorenzen, UFOs:The Whole Story, p. 221). |
| |
| 1966 - At 3:40 a.m. an FAA air traffic controller in Charleston, West |
| Virginia tracked an unidentified, non-transponding target about five |
| miles to the 11 o'clock position from Braniff Airline Flight 42 |
| headed east at 33,000 feet, which the crew saw high above them as a |
| bluish-white object giving off a brilliant flaming light of |
| alternating white-green-red colors. Radar showed the object veering |
| away to 8-10 miles away at the 10 o'clock position, then come at the |
| Braniff airliner to within three miles distance, then made a 180° |
| left turn to the NW again within a diameter of 5 miles at 1,000 mph |
| [5 G's]. The Braniff crew confirmed the object descending from 20° |
| elevation above horizon. (Source: J. Allen Hynek, The UFO Experience, |
| p.  73; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 34; UNICAT, |
| case # 319; Gordon D. Thayer, in Edward Condon, Scientific Study of |
| Unidentified Flying Objects, p. 163). |
| |
| 1966 - Later that evening at 10 p.m. a white disc flew up to a farm |
| in Cardington, Ohio and hovered low over a farmyard for 30 minutes. |
| It took off fast when an airplane came into view. Two more sighting |
| reports were made that day to Project Blue Book from nearby Columbus, |
| Ohio. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case #7237; APRO |
| Bulletin, May-June 1966; Project Blue Book files). |
| |
| 1969 - An abduction occurred in 1969 to a soldier while fishing on the banks |
| of the Rio das Velhas near the city of Bebedouro in the state of |
| Espirito Santo, Brazil. Jose Antonio da Silva had left his home in |
| Belo Horizonte and taken a bus to Bebedouro to go fishing the evening |
| before. At about midnight he reached the banks of a small lagoon and |
| set up his tent and fished for a while without success. The next day, |
| at about 3 p.m. he became aware of figures moving around behind him. |
| He heard a deep sound like a groan, then was struck in the legs by a |
| "burst of fire" coming from a form partly hidden in the bushes. |
| Seized with a cramp and feeling a numbness in his legs, he knelt |
| down. A beam of light, greenish in the middle and reddish on the |
| edges, had hit him. In a matter of seconds he was seized under the |
| armpits by masked two four-foot-tall humanoid beings, who wore |
| shining light-colored garments and aluminum colored helmets with |
| facemasks. Tubes ran from the masks to small containers on their |
| backs. |
| |
| They blindfolded him and brought him before a little man with long |
| red hair and a big nose. They dragged him to a craft that was shaped |
| like a vertical cylinder terminated by wider saucer shaped top and |
| bottom; rods from the base of the cylinder supported the upper disc. |
| It was only bout six feet high and nine feet wide. Inside was a |
| cubical room, brilliantly lit but from no visible source. Here they |
| fitted on him a helmet like their own, then tied him down to a seat. |
| |
| He felt a sensation of taking off. During the flight, which he felt |
| lasted for hours, they talked among themselves in an incomprehensible |
| language with many "R" sounds. At one point in the journey the craft |
| seemed to turn on its side for awhile. When they landed he was |
| blindfolded and dragged into a large room, where a little man without |
| a spacesuit confronted him; he had long reddish hair and a beard that |
| flowed to his waist. He was strongly built, and his skin was pallid |
| in color. He had large round, green eyes and a big nose, and his |
| mouth appeared toothless, "like a fish." To the side of the witness |
| were laid 4 human cadavers, one a Negro's. A dozen more little men, |
| all much resembling the leader, were in the room. They examined his |
| fishing tackle and other possessions. Several carried weapons. The |
| leader then addressed him in his incomprehensible language, |
| simultaneously making sketches on a whiteboard beside him. |
| |
| He was given a stone cup and drank a bitter green liquid that |
| restored his energy and made him better able to comprehend what the |
| alien was trying to say. The leader conveyed to Da Silva the idea |
| that he was expected to help them land on Earth, a proposition that |
| the soldier rejected, fingering his rosary. The leader became |
| irritated, snatched the rosary away, and showed it to the others. At |
| this point a kind of vision appeared to Da Silva of a Christ-like man |
| with long fair hair and beard, dressed like a monk, who spoke to him |
| in Portuguese, giving him a message, which he was sworn to keep |
| secret. After this vision had vanished, Da Silva was again |
| blindfolded, dragged back to the spacecraft, and returned to Earth in |
| the same manner as he had been taken away. He was released during the |
| night. When morning came he found that he was near Vitoria, more than |
| 200 miles from Bebedouro, and that four and a half days had passed |
| since his abduction. He suffered various physical ailments later. |
| Jose Antonio has repeatedly refused to reveal the content of this |
| message. (Source: Hulvio Brant Aleixo and Dr. Walter Buhler, FSR, |
| November-December 1973, p. 6; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1969-32). |
| |
| 1975 - A UFO was seen near the ground in Cupey, Puerto Rico at 4:20 a.m. in |
| 1975. The object had an intense yellow pulsating light, and a row of |
| eight rectangular lights. Ground marks were found at the site |
| including a burnt area 25 feet in diameter. There were also large |
| three-toed footprints, fourteen inches long and spaced 50" apart. |
| (Source: Lamarche Sebastian Robiou, FSR, April 1977, p. 8; Stendek, |
| December 1975; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case A1405). |
| |
| 1975 - At 9:00 p.m. two gendarmes observed an orange ball of light |
| (BOL) the apparent size of the full moon in Lezay, Deux-Sevres, |
| France. (Source: Jacques Coudert, Ouranos, 1978, issue 24, p. 8). |
| |
| 1976 - Several witnesses reported seeing a narrow, bright red trail |
| that climbed steeply into the sky from sea level south of Robben |
| Island in Three Anchor Bay, South Africa. A loud explosion followed |
| it. The object turned in flight. Ninety minutes later the main |
| witness heard a second explosion. That witness was Brigadier General |
| C. Smith. (Source: Saga UFO Report, December 1976, p. 80). |
| |
| 1976 - Also in 1976, a 74-year-old grandmother and two of her grandchildren |
| saw a domed disc slowly flying by in the sky over Wilrijk, Belgium at |
| 10:45 p.m. local time. It had small lights around the rim of the |
| object. (Source: J. Bernard Delaire, UFO Register Volume 7, p 32). |
| |
| 1976 - A cattle mutilation was discovered this day on a ranch south |
| of Glenwood Springs, in Garfield County, Colorado. (Source: Fate |
| magazine, September 1976, p. 12). |
| |
| 1976 - About five hours after the Belgium UFO encounter a farmer |
| driving through one of his fields in Orfordville, Wisconsin at dusk |
| noticed a hovering object 150 feet above him. It had two bright |
| headlights and two rotating red lights. An hour later his son saw the |
| same lights; they did a U-turn in the sky and flew away. (Sources: J. |
| Allen Hynek, Center for UFO Studies, case file dated August 24, 1976; |
| CUFOS News Bulletin, September 1976, p. 5; John Wallace Spencer, UFO |
| Yearbook, p. 78). |
| |
| 1977 - A 23-year-old man, Sr. Ferreira, disappeared in front of his |
| fellow factory employees in Atuba, Para state, Brazil fulfilling a |
| prediction made on May 4, 1976 that UFOnauts would come back for him. |
| He turned up the next day, 40 miles away, and said he had been in the |
| company of extraterrestrials, but feared revealing the details of his |
| encounter. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case A1729, citing O Estado Parana, May 5, |
| 1977). |
| |
| 1978 - Soon after a blinding blue light caused a road accident near |
| Villa Mercedes, San Luis province, Argentina about 100 city residents |
| saw 50 greenish-blue UFOs flying over the city. In the midst of a |
| dazzling light, they perfectly executed a series of maneuvers: they |
| broke into two formations and then rejoined, and then they |
| disappeared from view. Shortly after that some people reported that |
| they had witnessed the landing of a saucer-shaped craft nearby. A |
| being dressed in a green uniform emerged from the craft for a short |
| while. (Sources: Buenos Aires Herald, May 8, 1978; Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1978, citing Tasmanian UFO Report 1983, |
| quoting Le Soir (Belgium), March 30, 1982). |
| |
| 1981 - At 10:40 p.m. a bright disc landed on the ground in Belo |
| Horizonte, Minas Gerais state, Brazil and then vanished. A witness |
| felt pulled toward the spot. Burnt grass was found at the site. |
| (Source: Bob Pratt, UFO Danger Zone: Terror and Death in |
| Brazil--Where Next? p. 229). |
| |
| 1983 - At 3:50 a.m. a silent yellowish orange ball of light was seen |
| by a Mr. J. Philips hovering 350 feet over a power line pole in |
| Lawrence, Kansas. It flew away toward the northeast slowly at 35 mph. |
| The sighting lasted three minutes. (Sources: Professor E. J. Zeller, |
| International UFO Reporter, September 1983, p. 14; UNICAT, case # |
| 006, citing IUR). |
| |
| 1989 - At 9:30 in Easton, Connecticut an object shaped like a flying |
| wing with red, yellow, and blue lights in back and a blinking red |
| light on right side flew over tree line behind a house. Just before |
| 10:00 p.m. an engineer and two others watched a boomerang or V-shaped |
| object as big as a football field near a golf course in Trumbull, |
| Connecticut. It made a faint humming sound and had many colored |
| lights. The engineer was driving home when he first saw the object, |
| which had red and white lights turned on at first, then turned off; |
| with the light turned off it looked like a blue boomerang. |
| (Source: Philip J. Imbrogno, Contact of the 5th Kind, p. 32). |
| |
| 1990 - In El Carmen, Argentina a luminous sphere hovered over a |
| soccer field, emitting beams of light. The beams of light turned the |
| grass an intense blue-green color. Four hours later, at 10:20 p.m. in |
| St. Georges, Belgium, a dog howled when a silent disc-shaped object |
| hovered in the yard, just one meter above the ground. The lights on |
| the object lit the ground and area. (Sources: Inforespace, issue no. |
| 83; FSR, December 1990). |
| |
| 1990 - At about the time of the first Belgium report, at 10:30 p.m. a |
| woman in Le Chatelet en Brie, Seine-Marne department, France observed |
| a quiet triangular object with powerful headlights which stopped for |
| a few moments before setting out again very quickly. (Source: GEIPAN, |
| case # 56). |
| |
| 1990 - In Antwerp, Belgium at 11:20 p.m. two observers reported |
| sighting a silent orange disc-shaped object accompanied by a small |
| white orb at 180 feet altitude. It had two legs on the bottom and |
| what appeared to be a row of windows. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| issue 303). |
| |
| 1996 - In 1996 a witness in Moffat, Colorado reported that a "monstrous red |
| light" flew over the San Luis Valley at a high altitude. (Source: |
| Christopher O'Brien, Enter the Valley, p. 307). |
| |
| 1999 - A 45-year-old man went missing after he left his parents' home |
| in Bariloche, Rio Negro province, Argentina on this night. He was |
| found 8 days later by bloodhounds in an isolated canyon, dehydrated |
| and suffering from hypothermia. He claimed he had been abducted by |
| "extraterrestrials"; two men dressed in white and an attractive woman |
| that picked him up and apparently wanted to operate on him. He had no |
| other memories about what occurred to him. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, 1999 Humanoid Sighting Reports, case # 3861, citing CE UFO |
| Argentina). |
| |
| 2001 - "We saw a silver, shiny object shooting through the sky on a |
| summer afternoon," reported a witness from Fairfield, Connecticut. |
| The object was disc shaped and the sighting was brief. (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, May 2001 webpage, report |
| uploaded July 16, 2003).  |
| |
| 2002 - At 3:45 p.m., two separate witnesses in towns nearby to |
| Farmingdale, New York observed an egg-shaped UFO move at low speed |
| and altitude in a clear blue sky. The object seemed "transparent |
| rather than solid, more like a ring" and it left a white |
| contrail-like wake much like a boat in the water would do. (Source: |
| UFO Magazine (USA), August 2002, p. 19). |
| |
| 2003 - A pulsating light "danced" across the sky at 10:15 p.m. in |
| Holland, Pennsylvania. The sighting lasted from two to three minutes. |
| (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, May 2003 |
| archive webpage). |
| |
| 2006 - A security officer on patrol in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada |
| observed four lights in the sky at 11:45 p.m. Three seemed to be |
| hovering, while the fourth circled the others at one point. (Source: |
| Geoff Dittman, 2006 Canadian UFO Survey, case # 194, citing HBCCUFO). |
| |
| 2007 - In Timmins, Ontario, Canada a light was seen in the |
| northwestern sky at 11:30 p.m., zig-zagging and dancing "across the |
| sky". (Source: Chris Rutkowski, 2007 Canadian UFO Report, case # |
| 250). |
| |
| 2009 - The witness climbed into his sleeping bag around 11:00 p.m. |
| in his tent while camping in the Lake District, England. At 1:30 a.m. |
| he was awakened by a deep humming sound that seemed to vibrate |
| through him. The inside of his tent was also lit up by a dim glow. |
| What was most puzzling and disturbing was that from that time onward |
| he could remember nothing until dawn on Wednesday morning, when he |
| woke up outside his tent, stark naked and very cold. His tent and |
| clothes had a very strong 'ozone' smell. His only recollection was |
| being laid face down on something hard, and having something hard |
| pushed into his rectum, which was very sore at the time. (Source: |
| Albert Rosales, 2009 Humanoid Sighting Reports, citing |
| http://iwasabducted.com/forum). |
| |
| 2009 - At 3:33 a.m. in South St. Louis, Missouri a loud noise was |
| heard. Looking out, an oval-shaped object was seen hovering just 100 |
| foot off the ground. It had red, white, blue, yellow and oranges |
| lights. It only illuminated itself, not the surroundings.A saucer |
| shaped object with a changing colored light was observed from New |
| Richmond, Wisconsin at 11:00 p.m. It remained in one position in the |
| sky for over an hour. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, May 2009 archived webpage, reports uploaded May 12, |
| 2009).  |
| |
| 2010 - In Davie, Florida a silent, translucent Y-shaped object was |
| sighted just above the tree level at 10:30 p.m. It flew on a steady |
| course with a slow climb, at approximately 10 mph.(Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, May 2010 archived webpage, |
| reports uploaded May 12, 2010).  |
