|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  May 5 |
| |
| 1952 - On this day two silver discs were sighted by over a dozen |
| witnesses near the Vanadium Corporation's uranium processing plant in |
| Durango, Colorado. (Source: Loren E Gross, UFOs: A History. 1952: |
| January-May, p. 72). |
| |
| 1952 - At 10:50 p.m. six to seven translucent cream-colored objects |
| were sighted over Tenafly, New Jersey. One object circled the area, |
| while another flew away and then came back. This case is listed as a |
| Project Blue Book "unknown." (Sources: Project Blue Book files |
| counted in official statistics, case #1183; Kevin D. Randle, Invasion |
| Washington: UFOs over the Capitol, p. 261). |
| 1953 - One mile north of the Yuma, Arizona USAF fighter base, Wells |
| A. Webb noticed a strange object in the clear blue sky at 9:45 a.m. |
| The UFO initially seemed to be a cloud, but it made a sharp 90 degree |
| turn, and he then saw the cloud resolve into a silver disc-shaped |
| object. Through polaroid glasses Mr. Webb could see dark concentric |
| rings around the craft, possibly due to a force field around the |
| disc. With the glasses off the rings disappeared. He continued to |
| watch for 15 minutes while the UFO receded into the distance. No |
| sound was reported. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence |
| (Volume I), p. 52; Coral & Jim Lorenzen, UFOs: The Whole Story, p. |
| 52; John Fuller, Aliens in the Skies, p. 134; UNICAT, case #363, |
| citing Bruce Maccabee paper, 1984). |
| |
| 1954 - Over the Woomera Missile Test Range in South Australia a |
| disc-shaped object was viewed throuth binoculars flying to the west. |
| It then turned and shot off to the south and out of sight at a speed |
| estimated to be 5,800 kph. The object was estimated to be 10 feet in |
| diameter, and the sighting reportedly lasted five minutes. (Source: |
| Bill Chalker, The Oz Files, p. 85). |
| |
| 1954 - The young boy was sitting with his goat on a small hill near |
| the village of Fregim Amarante, Portugal when he heard a whistling |
| sound at around four o'clock in the afternoon. He ran in the |
| direction of the sound, which came from a nearby hollow. Once there |
| he saw one dome-shaped object leaving the area headed towards a |
| nearby river, but an identical object still rested on the ground. It |
| was a metallic colored, dome shaped, and had a metal ring on the |
| bottom and a transparent section on top. It also had a conical |
| protrusion, brown in color, on the top. As the object left the boy |
| felt a wave of heat. Inside this second object he could see two |
| beings with large heads and large eyes that were wide apart; both |
| appeared to have antennae on top of their heads, and their mouths |
| appeared like round holes. They wore metallic blue outfits, and |
| appeared seated with one of them operating levers while the other |
| looked out at the witness. Ground traces were later found at the |
| site. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1954, |
| case HC # 104, citing Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos & Fernandez Peri, |
| Enciclopedia de Los Encuentros Cercanos con Ovnis). |
| |
| 1958 - On this day at 3:40 p.m. a brilliant top-shaped UFO (that was |
| symmetrical above and below the middle), suddenly approached an |
| aircraft being flown by 40-year-old Carlos Alejo Rodriguez near the |
| airfield in Pan de Azucar near the city of San Carlos, Maldonado |
| province, Uruguay. The object, estimated to be three times the size |
| of the Piper aircraft, or 15-20 meters in diameter, passed within 500 |
| meters, and the pilot felt a wave of heat. The UFO stopped and |
| hovered for three seconds, rocked twice in a balancing motion, then |
| shot away toward the sea leaving a vapor trail. (Sources: Gordon I. |
| R. Lore, Strange Effects from UFOs, p. 16; Richard H. Hall, Uninvited |
| Guests, p. 246; UNICAT, case #477, citing Thomas M Olsen, The |
| Reference to Outstanding UFO Reports, p. 3-57). |
| |
| 1964 - At 8:30 in the morning a farmer, Alfred Ernst, saw an object |
| rise from a field in Comstock, Minnesota and fly rapidly into a cloud |
| bank. It was described as oval in shape, and it left a depression and |
| four rectangular imprints in the ground. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 601). |
| |
| 1965 - A US Naval vessel sailing in the Philippine Sea had a |
| radar-visual encounter with four UFOs at 9:10 a.m. There were 12 |
| military witnesses, and the sighting lasted for eight minutes. |
| (Sources: UNICAT database, case #81, citing J. Allen Hynek; Richard |
| F. Haines, Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO, p 187). |
| |
| 1966 - One year later, at 5:45 p.m. four UFOs were sighted at 20 |
| degrees elevation by the navigating officer and several other crewmen |
| aboard the HMAS ANZAC while sailing south of the Santa Cruz Islands. |
| They were closely grouped, and the lead object glowed red. The |
| trailing three objects were green, and formed an equilateral |
| triangle. They left trails of color six times the size of the |
| objects. (Source: Debbie Payne, Australasian Ufologist, October 2004, |
| p. 34). |
| |
| 1968 - Jerome Clark and three other young men had driven to visit a |
| rural site on a highway between Fargo and Kindred, North Dakota where |
| a "ghost light" had been recently reported. They spotted a nocturnal |
| light and had been chasing it, more or less fruitlessly, in their |
| car. When it re-appeared at 1:45 a.m. it loomed up in front of them, |
| and against its reddish orange light they could see the silhouette of |
| a huge figure gliding toward them. They took off in fear in their |
| automobile, but when they looked again from a side road the |
| silhouetted figure was still visible and still moving towards them. |
| This time they drove several miles before stopping. (Source: David F. |
| Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1968-25, citing Jerome Clark, FSR, November-December 1969). |
| |
| 1968 - At 8:35 p.m. a cylindrical UFO was seen flying north to south |
| on this night and the next over the river in Tirgu Ocna, Romania by |
| several witnesses including the principal witness, a Mr. Dumila. It |
| had a pointed read end, and antennae on the sides. (Source: Ion |
| Hobana and Julien Weverbergh, UFOs from Behind the Iron Curtain, p. |
| 162). |
| |
| 1969 - A deaf mute named Antonio Rodrigues, age 60, of the Fazenda |
| Constantino was fishing during the day on the Rio Das Velhas near |
| Jaboticatubas, Minas Gerais, Brazil when he was confronted by the |
| same type of beings that Jose Antonio Da Silva encountered the day |
| before in Bebedouro, 20 kilometers to the east. When they made signs |
| for him to approach he fled in terror, and they pursued him and |
| knocked him to the ground by the force from an energy weapon one of |
| the short humanoids drew from his belt. They gathered around |
| Rodrigues, felt his arm, and conversed amongst themselves in an |
| unintelligible language. Finally, they shook their heads and departed |
| in a UFO parked nearby that ascended vertically. The witness |
| identified the beings from various drawings, including Da Silva's |
| that were shown to him by the investigators. (Source: David F. Webb |
| and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1968-33, citing Hulvio Aleixo & Dr. Walter Buhler, FSR, |
| November-December 1973). |
| |
| 1972 - Aarno Heinonen was at home in Imjarvi, Finland at 10:15 p.m. |
| when he heard a strange noise, and then a female voice that told him |
| to go alone to a certain crossroads. He did so, and encountered a 4 |
| foot, 8 inch tall young woman with blond hair, wearing a yellow |
| pantsuit that seemed to glow, and silver colored shoes. She carried a |
| silvery ball by a handle, and it had three antennae like projections |
| on it. She told him that her people had come from "the other side of |
| the Milky Way" and that three different kinds of humanoids, ranging |
| from very small to very tall, had visited Imjarvi. She also told him |
| that she was 180 years old, and instructed him not to mention the |
| contact to anyone else. Heinonen previously had a dramatic close |
| encounter with a friend while out cross-country skiing in January |
| 1970. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case 1972-11, citing UFO Research Center of Finland |
| & Joe Brill). |
| |
| 1974 - At around 7 p.m. Ms. Becky Ingram was driving alone on a |
| country road on Pisgah Ridge, Tennessee when she heard her nickname |
| called ("Tomboy") and was telepathically directed to a nearby field. |
| There she saw a 100-foot long, football-shaped UFO on the ground. In |
| an open doorway, with a ramp extending to the ground, stood two |
| beings named "Alton" and "Tombo" that she had met on a previous |
| encounter, who invited her onboard. She greeted them with a handshake |
| and entered. Inside she saw five or six more humanoid beings seated |
| around a table, eating. She declined an invitation to join them. They |
| spoke in an incomprehensible language. She declined an invitation for |
| another ride, explaining that her family was expecting her. She |
| noticed that this time both Alton and Tombo walked without bending |
| their knees. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case 1974-85, citing Stanley Ingram & Don |
| Worley). |
| |
| 1974 - At around 11:50 p.m. on the beach in Paraipaba, Ceara state, |
| Brazil an odd looking "jeep" was seen being driven with three men |
| with ropes aboard. The jeep ran up the beach five times, then drove |
| into the sea and vanished. (Source: Bob Pratt, UFO Danger Zone: |
| Terror and Death in Brazil--Where Next? p. 265). |
| |
| 1975 - At 9:20 p.m. a domed disc-shaped object was seen on the ground |
| in Pleasanton, Texas with two figures inside the dome. The witness, |
| who was in a truck, was hit by a blinding light, and his hands went |
| numb. The encounter lasted for two minutes. (Source: John Schuessler, |
| Physiological Effects from UFOs, p. 64). |
| |
| 1977 - At 9:15 a.m. a 22-year-old Cessna 150 pilot trainee, Sr. Lopez |
| Ojeda, had a close encounter with a white object that looked like an |
| inverted plate while flying over Tabio, Cundinamarca province, |
| Colombia. There was a brilliant flash of light that temporarily |
| impaired his vision, and the airplane's control would not respond for |
| a short while during which his surroundings seemed strangely altered. |
| (Sources: Richard H. Hall, Uninvited Guests, p. 291; MUFON UFO |
| Journal, June 1977; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. |
| 50; CUFOS files, citing newspaper clipping dated May 6, 1977). |
| |
| 1977 - At midnight the witness, a truck driver, had made a rest stop |
| at a truck stop on the major highway near Ragusa, Italy when he saw a |
| yellow light illuminate the cab. The light originated from a gray |
| metallic, oval-shaped object that was hovering near the truck and |
| close to the ground. It had a rotating ring around its middle and two |
| circular openings, one on the top and one on the bottom. A figure |
| wearing a dark gray coverall and a helmet could be seen inside one of |
| the openings. It seemed to be controlling and directing the yellow |
| beam of light. It made some hand gestures towards him as if greeting |
| him. A flattened area was found in the grassy field. (Sources: |
| Maurizio Verga, ITACAT: Italian UFO catalogue, case 93; Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1977, case # 1522, citing ITACAT). |
| |
| 1979 - Clear photographs were taken of a metallic, hat-shaped disc |
| over a dam in Calamuchita, Cordoba, Argentina. The photographs were |
| taken in the middle of the afternoon by a 34-year-old man named L. |
| Ferreyra. The UFO had three portholes, and made no sound. It shot |
| straight up when it left. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, November 1979, |
| p. 9, citing Clarin, May 5, 1979). |
| |
| 1979 - On this night an object with portholes landed in a field in |
| Pampulhas, Minas Gerais, Brazil for 90 seconds. The witnesses were |
| two police officers, who reported that the encounter caused EM |
| effects on their vehicle. The ground was lit brightly, and figures |
| could be seen looking out through portholes in the craft. It took off |
| vertically at great speed. (Sources: Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping |
| Service, July 1979, p. 14; MUFON UFO Journal, November 1979, p. 11, |
| citing Cronica May 5, 1979; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume |
| II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 258). |
| |
| 1980 - In San Jose de Mayo, Uruguay construction workers and truck |
| drivers at a meat packing plant that was under construction saw a red |
| and green luminous ball hovering overhead. It emitted a dull noise, |
| and its presence interrupted electrical light power and also caused |
| battery-operated radios to go dead. (Source: Jane Thomas, UFO |
| Newsclipping Service, July 1980, p. 9, citing La Razon, May 16, |
| 1980). |
| |
| 1982 - In Youngstown Ridge, Pennsylvania a single witness observed a |
| 15-foot diameter top-shaped UFO with a dome at 8:00 p.m. There was a |
| red pulsating light contained within the dome. It was described as |
| the size of Piper Cub aircraft, and it flew slowly to the east at an |
| estimated altitude of 1000 feet, then reversed direction |
| toward Greensburg. At 11:17 in in Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania |
| hundreds of residents witnessed many unidentified nocturnal |
| lights. Police watched a semi-transparent delta-shaped object fly |
| from the northwest to the southwest. (Source: Stan Gordon, MUFON UFO |
| Journal, July 1982, p. 13). |
| |
| 1984 - At 2:55 a.m. a loud pulsing sound preceded the presence of a |
| metallic ovoid or football-shaped UFO flying overhead at 200 feet |
| altitude in Piedmont, South Carolina. The dogs in the neighborhood |
| all howled and went crazy. There were two witnesses, and the |
| encounter lasted two minutes. (Sources: Robert Gribble, International |
| UFO Reporter, May 1984, p. 16; MUFON UFO Journal, May 1984). |
| |
| 1984 - At 1400 hours GMT a Defense Support Program (DSP) spy |
| satellite detected the entry of an unknown object that passes 15 |
| miles in front of it, and then flew below it over the Indian Ocean. |
| The unknown object changed course, and flew back out into outer |
| space. (Source: Michael D. Hall, UFOs: A Century of Sightings, p. |
| 324). |
| |
| 1990 - At 3:45 a.m. the windows of a home in Widnes, Cheshire, |
| England shook repeatedly from the vibrations caused by a huge, white |
| glowing ball of light (BOL) over the road. (Source: Timothy Good, The |
| UFO Report 1992, p. 121). |
| |
| 1992 - Two orange BOLs flew silently over a reservoir in Waranga |
| Basin, Victoria, Australia at 8:00 p.m. They disappear when a camera |
| flashes. At 11:15 p.m. a cigar-shaped object with windows on the |
| bottom hovered silently in High Point, North Carolina, emitting very |
| bright beams of light. It vanished when jets appeared. (Source: Larry |
| Hatch, U computer database, cases # 15726 & 15728, citing UFO |
| Newsclipping Service, July 1992 & February 1993). |
| |
| 1992 - A around two o'clock in the morning in an undisclosed location |
| in Georgia, a man woke up to see a 4.5 foot tall entity at the corner |
| of his baby son's crib. The dwarf wore a black cape with a peaked |
| hood connected to the cape. No facial features could be discerned. |
| The entity next moved from left to right and then disappeared through |
| the wall of the house. This experienced was followed by an unsettling |
| dream about the baby, and later by another frightening incident. A |
| few months later other family members again saw a shadow like figure |
| with claws move out of the hallway and touch the chest of one of the |
| older children in the house. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1992, case # 2624, citing John C. Thompson). |
| |
| 1993 - At 9:00 a.m. in Geneva, Ashtabula County, Ohio an enormous |
| cigar-shaped craft with no wings and no windows flew over Lake Erie |
| making no sound and at an incredible rate of speed. It was being |
| chased by a helicopter. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |

| |
| 1996 - Late at night on Sunday May 5, 1996 Elaine woke up in her |
| bedroom in Cornwall, England to see a four-foot tall creature with |
| pale shiny porcelain colored skin standing next to her bed. It had a |
| very large head and large black oval-shaped eyes standing next to her |
| bed. She does not report what happened next, but she does mention |
| that at around the same time she began having lucid dreams where she |
| found herself traveling to other planets and meeting aliens. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1996, case # 3249). |
| |
| 1997 - A woman in Hazelwood Park, Adelaide, South Australia reported |
| sighting an object travelling from the northwest to the south, where |
| it hovered for 5-6 seconds before it moved off and was lost from view |
| at 8:30 p.m.  It looked like two shallow saucers, lip to lip.  The |
| body of the object was like the tail of a comet in its consistency. |
| (Source: Keith Basterfield, UFO Research South Australia). |
| |
| 1997 - At 12:15 p.m. a metallic ovoid object flew across the sky in |
| West Chester, Pennsylvania. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |

| 1998-21, citing UFOBC) |
| |
| 1999 - At midnight in the Hautes Pyrenees, France many people |
| observed a semicircular form, luminous and translucent, that some |
| compared to smoke. After 15 minutes the witnesses noted a presence to |
| the left of the luminous form (some spoke of a triangular form) that |
| suddenly rocketed away fast to the south. (Source: GEIPAN, case # |
| 308). |
| |
| 2001 - On this evening in Southampton, Hampshire, England a police |
| helicopter flew around a UFO twice before the object faded out |
| and disappeared. There was a lengthy investigation into the incident. |
| (Source: Gary Heseltine, Police UFO Reports, case # 172). |
| |
| 2002 - A disc-shaped object hovered at a low altitude near the town |
| of Bingham, Nottinghamshire, England at three o'clock in the morning. |
| It had erratic flashing multi-colored lights. It spun, and rocked |
| slowly back-and-forth. Two small white lights moved outward from it, |
| and remained separate for almost an hour. The UFO departed toward the |
| south. (Source: UFO Magazine (USA), August 2002, p. 19, citing |
| Filer's Files). |
| |
| 2002 - Smithtown, Suffolk County, New York - At 3:15 p.m. two |
| independent witnesses in nearby towns observed an ovoid UFO moving at |
| a slow speed and low altitude in the clear blue sky. It flew from |
| west to east. It seemed more "transparent rather than solid, more |
| like a ring." and it left behind a white contrail or wake like "a |
| boat in water." (Source: UFO Magazine (USA), August 2002, p. 19, |
| citing Filer's Files). |
| |
