|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  August 9 |
| |
| 1952 - At 10:50 a.m. a military witness named Raley at Chennault Air |
| Force Base, Louisiana saw a disc-shaped object that flew very fast |
| for five minutes, and hovered for two seconds. A Project Blue Book |
| "unidentified" case. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in |
| official statistics, case # 1870; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. |
| 1952: August, p. 33). |
| |
| 1952 - At 8:57 p.m. local time a U.S. Marine Corps ground control |
| radar in Grid Area K-3, Pohang, Korea made contact with a moving ball |
| of fire with a stream of flame travelling at a high rate of speed: |
| 1500 mph. (Source: Richard F. Haines, Advanced Aerial Devices |
| Reported During the Korean War, p. 51). |
| |
| 1953 - A 60-meter diameter luminous disc-shaped object accompanied by |
| four nocturnal lights, flying near Moscow, Idaho at 9:20 p.m., shot |
| up and away when three F-86 Sabre jets attempted to intercept them. |
| (Sources: Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying Saucer Conspiracy, p. 30; Larry E. |
| Towner, Fate magazine, May 1954, p. 32; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft |
| UFO Encounters, p. 21). |
| |
| 1955 - A bright object, the apparent size of the Moon, hovered low |
| near the horizon near Moon Lake, Nebraska for two hours. Nocturnal |
| lights exited from it and flew off to the north. There were several |
| witnesses from three families. (Source: APRO Bulletin, August 1955; |
| Larry Hatch, U computer database). |
| |
| 1959 - Mr. Uribe, a petroleum engineer, and two other witnesses had |
| to stop when they ran out of fuel at Sombrero, Magallanes, Chile. At |
| 7:54 p.m. they observed a light swinging in the sky like a pendulum, |
| and coming closer to the ground. It appeared to be a large, vertical, |
| ovoid object that made a "whooshing" sound. Its closest approach was |
| 120 meters. They estimated its dimensions at two meters in height and |
| 1.5 meters in width. When Uribe aimed his rifle at the object it went |
| out of sight within seconds. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 493; Jim & Coral Lorenzen, UFOs |
| over the Americas, p. 14). |
| |
| 1963 - Harry Bishop, the former major of Mount Vernon, Illinois, |
| watched a large, bright red oval-shaped light making a "whirring |
| sound" follow a car along Centralia road. When the car stopped, the |
| UFO stopped; it hovered for awhile, then moved away at right angles |
| to its original course. There were a number of other witnesses. |
| Duration: 10 minutes. (Sources: Jeffrey G. Liss, Fate magazine, |
| November 1963, p. 26; APRO Bulletin, January 1964, p. 4; Richard |
| Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 141; Francis Ridge, Regional Encounters, |
| p. 13). |
| |
| 1965 - At around 6:00 p.m. an astronomer and his family were driving |
| in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York when a silvery disc-shaped |
| object with a "ring of bluish white lights" moved overhead slowly to |
| the south. The object then turned and accelerated to the |
| east-northeast. He drove up to 80 mph in pursuit, but it dwindled in |
| size until it resembled a star high in the sky. It moved up and down |
| several times, then finally darted to the south out over the Atlantic |
| Ocean. (Source: J. Allen Hynek, The UFO Experience, p. 66). |
| |
| 1965 - An anonymous music teacher, a "high level public employee", |
| was driving on the outskirts of Lima, Peru around 10:00 p.m. when his |
| car's engine started to miss, and then stop. At that moment, a beam |
| of light  enveloped the car from above, then levitated it from the |
| road and carried it through the sky for an unknown distance, at such |
| an altitude that the witness could see the coastline and a peninsula, |
| La Punta, west of the city. He was paralyzed and unable to move |
| during this process. The car was brought to the ground near the shore |
| and he could hear waves breaking. Then, a voice spoke to him in |
| perfect Spanish, and asked him to get out of the car. He did so and |
| "could barely make out" little men with big ears. No UFO was seen, |
| but there was a luminous screen nearby, on which was displayed, "We |
| are using calming rays on you to remove your fear." He then asked |
| several questions, in response to which a spokesperson told him that |
| they came from a place more distant than Mars, that they had visited |
| Earth on various occasions in the past, and that they did not appear |
| in public because that would cause panic. Asked if they knew about |
| music, he heard they had "something that might be considered as |
| music, but that it had the power of raising the feelings to the |
| highest exaltation." After that, his car was transported back through |
| the air to the spot from which it had been picked up. He told his |
| story to an uncle, an official in the Peruvian police, who informed |
| reporters. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case # 1965-27). |
| |
| 1965 - At around midnight the K. Denver family of three saw a UFO on |
| the ground at South Myton Bench, Duchesne County, Utah that stood up |
| like a rocket. The top was flat, with a row of windows below, and a |
| room inside with bright lights. Rotating flashing lights on top, |
| orange-red flames on bottom. It rose vertically without a sound, |
| hovered, then shot up quickly. (Source: Frank B. Salisbury, The Utah |
| UFO Display, p. 17). |
| |
| 1967 - A disc-shaped object about the size of a rugby ball was |
| sighted by a married couple in Grey Friars, Stattordshire, England at |
| 2:30 a.m. It flashed blue lights all around its rim, and seemed to be |
| spinning in time with sound coming from it. It caused their dog to |
| begin barking. The witnesses reported that they were too frightened |
| to sleep after their encounter. Later that evening another close |
| encounter occurred in Weston-on-Trent, England. The witness reported |
| a "dull penetrating sound," then sighting a red light that moved up, |
| down, and "all over the place." This witness's dog also whimpered, |
| barked, and scratched at the door in response to the UFO. The noise |
| persisted throughout the night, even after the UFO had gone. (Source: |
| Roger H. Stanway & Anthony Pace, UFOs Unidentified Undeniable, p. 6). |
| |
| 1967 - At 11:30 p.m. a bright, cage-like UFO shaped like an inverted |
| bowl, with a row of yellow lights on its surface, flew over Grand |
| Rapids, Michigan very fast at an estimated altitude of 5,000 feet. |
| (Source: Grand Rapids Press, August 11, 1967). |
| |
| 1968 - A beam of energy from a disc-shaped object caused the death of |
| someone on a farm in Jaboticatubas, Minas Gerais State, Brazil at |
| 8:10 p.m. On the same night a round flying object emitting blue and |
| red lights was sighted in the suburbs of Cerro de la Gloria, Mendoza |
| province, Argentina. Two dwarves wearing helmets with bright glowing |
| antennae on their heads exited the landed craft. When a police office |
| named A. Romero pointed his gun at them, a luminous ray immobilized |
| him. He was later hospitalized. (Sources: (1) Bob Pratt, UFO Danger |
| Zone: Terror and Death in Brazil--Where Next? p. 193; (2) David F. |
| Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| A1565, citing Roberto Enrique Banchs and Cronica, August 14, 1968). |
| |
| 1971 - Starting at around 9:00 a.m. a glowing orange disc-shaped UFO, |
| shaped like two basins placed edge to edge, paced a plane flying from |
| Belo Horizonte to Uberaba, Minas Gerais State, Brazil for 20 minutes, |
| and then suddenly sped away. The private pilot was a 24-year-old man |
| named Vicente Buono. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, November-December 1972, |
| p. 2; NICAP UFO Investigator, August 1971, p. 1; Richard H. Hall, The |
| UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, pp. 15, 120). |
| |
| 1972 - A woman teacher was camping out in the yard of a friend's |
| house in Saint Jean Du Gard, France and had gone out for a walk at |
| 2:30 a.m. when she noticed a white spherical light that appeared to |
| be in a nearby field. As she stood there watching, she heard |
| footsteps behind her that sounded like someone walking on the dry |
| grass. When she turned around, she was confronted by a five-foot |
| tall, robot-like being that was completely black. Its head was |
| egg-shaped and it had two round white discs for eyes. The witness |
| felt an unbelievable level of fear and had the feeling that the being |
| possessed extraordinary powers; it could in fact control "nature |
| itself." She blacked out and when she recovered found herself back in |
| her tent with her husband. That same morning a truck driver named |
| Marcilio was forced to stop his vehicle in the pre-dawn hours on the |
| Amaral Peixoto Highway in Brazil when the road was blocked by a UFO |
| sitting on the road with yellow and blue flashing lights. It took off |
| rapidly. (Sources: (1) Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
| 1968, case # 1102, citing Jean-Claude Bourret, The Crack in the |
| Universe; (2) Gordon Creighton, FSR, September 1972, p. 26, citing O |
| Dia, August 9, 1972). |
| |
| 1973 - A father and his son were driving along the main highway in |
| the Exeter, New Hampshire during the day when they saw a landed UFO |
| along the side of the highway. A tall humanoid figure stood next to |
| the object. The witnesses kept driving without stopping. (Source: |
| David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case 1973-19; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of the |
| Humanoids). |
| |
| 1977 - At around 1:30 a.m. Police Constable David Swift was |
| investigating an unusual fog in a nearby fog located in East Hull, |
| Yorkshire, England. As he crossed the field, he saw three figures who |
| seemed to be dancing around a non-existent Maypole. Each had an arm |
| raised. "One figure was a man in a sleveless jerkin and tight-fitting |
| trousers...the other two were women in bonnets, shawls, and white |
| colored dresses." Thinking they were drunks, he approached them. At |
| about 50 feet away the entire scene vanished. "No one was there." He |
| drove about the area in his car, but found nothing more. He then |
| reported the incident to his sergeant. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| 1977 Humanoid Reports; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1977-44, citing Robert J. |
| Richard, Fortean Times, issue # 23). |
| |
| 1979 - Two white, 30-foot diameter lenticular discs were seen flying |
| together below an aircraft being flown by the state police southeast |
| of Hayfork, California at around ten o'clock in the morning. The |
| discs were hugging the terrain, following the contour of the land and |
| flying in and out of the canyons below, nearly grazing the ground. |
| Their speed, when first sighted, was estimated to be 600 miles per |
| hour, but they accelerated and sped away to the north at 1,500 mph. |
| There were four witnesses who watched the craft for 20 seconds. |
| (Sources: Richard F. Haines, Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO, |
| p. 191; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 42; Richard |
| H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, pp. 24, |
| 125; UNICAT database, case 47, citing Paul Cerny). |
| |
| 1980 - A few minutes after midnight a Sandia Security detail of three |
| men, Ferenz, Rist, and Frazier, reported that a disc-shaped object |
| landed behind the "HQ CR 44" nuclear storage building at Sandia |
| Laboratories, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. One of the |
| security guards drove his jeep into Coyote Canyon and approached on |
| foot. He had a clear view of the round disc-shaped object at the |
| Manzano Weapons Storage Area. His radio would not work when he tried |
| to radio for backup. The UFO shot straight up and away at high speed |
| at the end of the 30 minute encounter. (Sources: Lawrence Fawcett & |
| Barry J. Greenwood, Clear Intent: The Government Cover-up of the UFO |
| Experience, pp. 224-225; Timothy Good, Above Top Secret, p. 406; |
| UNICAT database, case 373, citing Fawcett & Greenwood). |
| |
| 1983 - A 34-year-old man named Platner saw a UFO in Winifreda, La |
| Pampa province, Argentina at 7:30 p.m. and followed it in his van. |
| When he stepped out of his van he was paralyzed by a beam of light. |
| Four small humanoids wearing diver suits with large round eyes, one |
| of them a female, emerged from the craft and communicated with him |
| using telepathy. He was taken aboard the craft, undressed, a blood |
| sample was taken, and he subsequently became unconscious. When he |
| came to again he was on top of his van. (Sources: Jane Thomas, FSR, |
| December 1983, p. 9, citing Diario Popular, August 12, 1983; Thomas |
| E. Bullard, UFO Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery, case # 104, |
| citing FSR). |
| |
| 1983 - At 8:45 p.m. an extremely bright metallic dome-shaped object |
| maneuvered over Interstate highway I-225 near Selma, Indiana, |
| observed by 19-year-old Jennifer Irving for ten minutes. It had |
| strange beams of light and made no sound. (Source: Francis L. Ridge, |
| Regional Encounters, p. 79). |
| |
| 1993 - At 5:00 p.m. a very large, fat cigar-shaped object, |
| "battleship gray" in color, was observed from State Route 150 near |
| Cherryville, North Carolina just over some trees. It crossed the |
| highway close to the car without making a sound. Two cars were |
| involved in the incident. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, April |
| 1994). |
| |
| 1996 - At 2:20 a.m. a silent white disc-shaped object with lights |
| followed a car for 6 km near Tavaco, Corse-Sud, France. It then |
| hovered for over an hour. At the same time there was the occurrence |
| of anomalous radar echoes in the Central European surveillance area. |
| (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 341; Illobrand von Ludwiger, |
| Best UFO Cases--Europe, p. 109). |
| |
| 1998 - A couple on a terrace in Cintegabelle, Haute-Garonne, France |
| witnessed the slow passage of a luminous sphere at around 10 p.m. |
| There was also unusual behavior by animals, and the total silence of |
| nature. The sphere silently zigzagged, and disappeared after 5 |
| minutes Another witness in a distant city saw it, too. (Source: |
| GEIPAN, case # 291). |
| |
| 1999 - On this afternoon at 5:07 p.m. a round white object shot past |
| SwissAir flight 127 while flying over Long Island, New York at 23,000 |
| feet altitude. It passed to within 400 feet above the airliner. Its |
| speed was described as "incredibly fast". The USNTA said another |
| aircraft in the area saw nothing. (Source: Lynn Picknett, Mammoth |
| Book of UFOs, p. 173, citing the Toronto Sun). |
| |
| 2001 - A cigar-shaped object, approximately 100 feet long, with |
| lights on each end that changed color, was seen in Calico Rock, |
| Arkansas at 10 p.m. It also reportedly made the sound of three |
| musical tones. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, August 2001 webpage, report uploaded October 12, 2001). |
| |
| 2004 - "Imagine a a 30-foot wide strand of silk in the shape of a |
| perfect chevron, moving at a constant speed of 25 mph from North to |
| South." That is what the witness reported seeing at 11:00 a.m. from |
| Squamish, British Columbia. The sighting lasted 30 seconds. (Sources: |
| Geoff Dittman, 2004 Canadian UFO Survey, case # 2004-564; Peter |
