|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  April 5 |
| |
| 1935 - In Aznalcazar, Spain a large brilliant, round object descended |
| from the sky 450 meters away and hovered just above the ground in a |
| field. Several small beings got out and walked around for ten |
| minutes. The witness, Mr. Mora, thought he had seen an emanation from |
| God. (Sources: Alfredo Moacyr Uchoa, Phenomenes Spatiaux, June 1971, |
| p. 17; Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO |
| Events in Spain and Portugal, case no. 5). |
| |
| 1943 - A military pilot reported that over Long Beach, California at |
| 9:50 a.m. a round, orange object flew alongside and then dove at an |
| Army Air Force BT13A trainer aircraft. It subsequently shot away. |
| (Sources: Richard Hall, From Airships to Arnold: A Preliminary |
| Catalogue of UFO Reports in the Early 20th Century (1900-1946), p. |
| 21; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 6). |
| |
| 1948 - At 2:00 in the afternoon at Holloman Air Force Base, New |
| Mexico three base personnel reported having witnessed two silent |
| disc-shaped objects, 35 meters in diameter, executing a series of |
| violent turns and maneuvers. The discs made no noise during the 30 |
| seconds they were in view, and were viewed through a theodolite. One |
| of the discs shot up vertically. Project Blue Book listed this as an |
| "unidentified" case. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Anatomy of a |
| Phenomenon, pp. 52-53; R. B. McLaughlin, True magazine, March 1950, |
| p. 25; Richard Haines, Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO, p. |
| 79). |
| |
| 1952 - At 10:40 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. L.G. Ryan, R.L. Stokes, and D. |
| Schook of Phoenix, Arizona watched a large, dull gray disc-shaped |
| object fly by, followed by two more objects. All three flew straight |
| and level at high speed. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO |
| Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - Miami, Florida. At 9:15 p.m. four dark circular objects with |
| mostly fuzzy edges, crossed the face of the Moon. Each was half the |
| apparent diameter of Moon. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook |
| UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - At 11:30 p.m. Lt. W. R. Holder and Lt. A.M. Jones, the flight |
| crew of a USAF F-94 jet interceptor, saw a small luminous object |
| approach Kadena AFB, Japan from the north. It flew straight and level |
| at first at an estimated speed of 1,000 knots, but then began to |
| maneuver and zigzag. Airborne radar tracked the target for 90 |
| seconds. Control tower operators watched for 50-60 minutes while a |
| dark shape with a light flew as fast as 330 knots (380 mph). It |
| hovered, flew curves and performed a variety of maneuvers. (Sources: |
| Richard Haines, Advanced Aerial Devices Reported During the Korean |
| War, p. 62; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1956 - A flying humanoid was seen in Birmingham, Alabama. (Source: |
| George Eberhart, A Geo-Bibliography of Anomalies, p. 398). |
| |
| 1960 - An orange disk landed in Beira, Mozambique with a hissing |
| sound, then exploded, while four dwarfish figures ran off into the |
| brush. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, case 501). |
| |
| 1966 - At 3:00 a.m. Lillian Louis sighted a vapor-like sphere |
| hovering at a low altitude in Lycoming, New York. The object hovered |
| low over the ground and was spinning, shooting its exhaust onto the |
| ground below. The entire episode lasted about a minute. (Source: Don |
| Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1966 - In Alto, Tennessee at 11:55 p.m. witness W. Smith sighted an |
| oval object with a dark top. The object appeared cone-shaped when |
| moving. It made a high-frequency noise. The sighting lasted 2.5 |
| hours. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1967 - At 5:15 p.m. on Highway 50 west of Sedalia, Missouri a truck |
| driver reported that a silver disc hovered over the cab of his truck |
| for more than a minute. (Source: Ted Phillips, Skylook, February |
| 1968, p. 2). |
| |
| 1967 - Ninety minutes later, at 7:45 p.m. EDT between Jonestown and |
| South Lickdale, Pennsylvania on Highway 72 Justice of the Peace John |
| H. Demler saw a ten-meter diameter blue disc making a humming sound |
| like an electric motor. The object flew over his car emitting a |
| chemical odor and sparks. The car's headlights and engine died, and |
| the car was buffeted about as the object took off. The witness was |
| very nervous and agitated after the close encounter, and the top |
| layer of his skin peeled off the next few days. (Sources: NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, May 1967, p. 6; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, case 832). |
| |
| 1967 - At the same time as the Pennsylvania close encounter, the |
| Dauncey family saw a small glowing sphere with a metallic band around |
| the middle in Peterborough, Ontario. The object emitted two vapor |
| trails and, making a humming noise, approached and paced the |
| witnesses' car. (Sources: NICAP files, citing newspaper clipping |
| dated April 14, 1967; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A |
| Thirty-Year Report, p. 335). |
| |
| 1969 - The two witnesses were parked in a remote area of West Nyack, |
| New York at 7:00 p.m. when they saw a light approach. They got out of |
| the car and saw a large oval-shaped craft with lights around its edge |
| and a beam of light shining from its center. A memory lapse occurred, |
| with one witness vaguely recalling the object landing and shining a |
| beam of light towards them. Later one of the witnesses remembered |
| being inside a circular room lying on a white Formica table. He was |
| surrounded by several humanoids described as being five-foot tall |
| with pale gray skin, large round heads, and large black eyes. These |
| beings were well built and wore tight fitting grayish green |
| coveralls. One being appeared to be the examiner, and he wore a |
| turtleneck garment and peered intently into the witness's face. At |
| one point one of the witnesses remembered struggling and thought it |
| felt that he had been ripped to pieces and then reassembled again. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1969, case # |
| 489, citing Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions The Measure of A |
| Mystery). |
| |
| 1993 - A Houston, Texas UFO abductee had gone to a professional |
| hypnotist and was given a post-hypnotic suggestion instructing her to |
| defend herself from alien abductors during any subsequent abduction |
| attempts. On this night she was asleep in her bedroom when she awoke |
| and saw two short Grey humanoids with large black, oval-shaped eyes |
| come in through the wall. As one of the beings approached the bed the |
| witness grabbed what seemed to be a black protective eye shield from |
| the humanoid's eyes. His skin felt rough as she tore the eyepiece |
| off. A moist liquid fell on the witness arm, described as a |
| mucus-like substance. The beings then retreated through the wall and |
| left. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1993, |
| case # 1696, citing Tricia McCannon, International UFO Library |
| Magazine, June-July 1994). |
| |
| 2004 - At 11:00 a.m. a witness in Newport, Tennessee spotted a |
| bizarre flying creature resembling an arrowhead flying backwards, |
| with what looked like a head or knob on the front. It didn't look |
| mechanical, it was more like some kind of animal. It did not have |
| extended wings like a bird but seemed to have some stubby wings which |
| may have been part of the body, like some type of bat. They protruded |
| out near the end and tapered back to a point at the rear. The |
| creature appeared to be around three feet long and a little over two |
| feet wide. It was moving very fast in a straight line, at an altitude |
| of approximate 150 feet. The witness did not see any method of |
| propulsion, such as wing movement. It just seemed to be gliding but |
| at a high speed. It maintained a level flight path moving westward, |
| where the witness eventually lost sight of it. It was light brown in |
| color along the sides of the wings, with a dark body color, possibly |
| dark brown or black. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 2004, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle). |
