|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  February 21 |
| |
| 1950 - At 4:55 a.m. in Durban, South Africa three men in a truck and |
| several other people witnessed a dark red, torpedo-shaped object that |
| had a dark center, flying straight and level. (Sources: Project Blue |
| Book files counted in official statistics, case # 896; Don Berliner, |
| Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1953 - In Malang, Indonesia on the island of Java a metallic |
| disc-shaped object was seen twice, at high and low altitudes. It rose |
| up very fast, and shot off quickly to the north. (Source: Loren E. |
| Gross, UFOs: A History. 1953: January-February, p. 92). |
| |
| 1965 - At least 50 members of the Toba Indian tribe in Chalac, |
| Formosa Province, Argentina watched as a group of UFOs were seen |
| flying overhead at around 9 p.m. One of the craft, bathed constantly |
| in light beams emanating from small wing-like projections, landed in |
| a pasture, and three tall beings enveloped in luminous halos emerged, |
| causing the local population to go down on their knees. The beings |
| approached slowly, with gestures that dissuaded one of the Indians |
| from coming any closer to the UFO. A voice was then heard, telling |
| the witnesses to remain calm for there was nothing to fear, and that |
| the space people would return to bring peace on earth. The humanoids |
| then returned to their craft, which then took off with a blinding |
| luminosity. Photographs were said to have been taken by local police |
| officers. (Sources: Donald B. Hanlon, Flying Saucer Review, |
| March-April 1966, p. 16; Gordon Creighton, The Humanoids: FSR Special |
| Edition No. 1, p. 39; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case 1965-13; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 637). |
| |
| 1967 - Mrs. Wolf, a nurse, was driving down a road in Toledo, Ohio at |
| 7:40 p.m. EST when she had a close encounter with an orange-yellowish |
| flattened sphere. It hovered over the road at treetop height, |
| pulsating, and then emitted a wide beam of light downward. It started |
| pacing her car. Her speedometer was affected and her wristwatch |
| stopped. She also reported that as a result of the close encounter |
| her skin condition cleared up. (Sources: NICAP case files, letter |
| dated March 8, 1967; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A |
| Thirty Year Report, pp. 199, 267 & 328-329). |
| |
| 1967 - Two hours after the Toledo close encounter, another close |
| encounter involving electromagnetic effects and physical traces |
| occurred in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. At 8:40 p.m. CST dogs began yelping |
| when a UFO flew by fast and low. The object's light went out, and the |
| object dropped to the ground. A high-pitched whine with an undertone |
| of humming occurred later for 30 seconds. A 15 foot in diameter ice |
| area was found at the landing site, which caused a compass to spin. |
| (Source: NICAP case files, report by W. Martiny). |
| |
| 1968 - On this night at 12:12 a.m. Ms. Cecilia Brewer and five |
| companions were driving home from work between Barkhamsted and |
| Winsted, Connecticut and heading west when their car's engine started |
| to miss and they encountered a silvery domed disc-shaped UFO on the |
| left side of the highway in a forest clearing. The object was at a |
| distance of about 150 feet, and had a cone of white light coming from |
| the bottom of the object. It also had a green lit, rectangular window |
| in the dome. They stopped to watch the UFO before it flew away, the |
| total duration of their close encounter being around 15 minutes. |

| |
| 1968 - At eleven o'clock that night Miss Amato, a 12-year-old girl, |
| heard a "bloop-bloop" noise outside her bedroom window and looked out |
| her window at the abandoned Winsted, Connecticut railroad station |
| behind her family's house. She saw a white egg-shaped UFO, a little |
| larger than a station wagon, hovering close to the ground beside the |
| building and railroad tracks. A short beam of light came out of the |
| craft, pointed downward at an angle like a ramp, and 15-20 little men |
| about three feet tall walked down the light beam in single file and |
| jumped from the end of the beam to the ground. They were dressed in |
| dull silver coveralls and wore fishbowl-type helmets. They proceeded |
| to climb up the side of the station, one after another, with a hand |
| over hand movement as if they were swimming or had suction cups on |
| their hands. When they reached the roof, they spread out in different |
| directions and appeared to be interested in looking down inside the |
| building through a skylight. The girl became frightened at this point |
| and went to bed, covering her head with the bedcovers. The building |
| was being used as a storage site for ammonium nitrate fertilizer. |

| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-17; Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1968, case 38, citing Larry |
| Fawcett). |
| |
| 1968 - At dusk a woman living in a cabin near the coast on Keats |
| Island, British Columbia saw a single object maneuvering 60 |
| feet above the ocean. It had frosted yellow side lights with a bright |
| red light in the middle, and it slid back and forth across sky as if |
| on rail. Then a "big boat" lit up on the water's surface, and shot |
| six amber 4-foot-wide balls of light up into the sky. (Source: John |
| Magor, Our UFO Visitors, p. 45). |
| |
| 1979 - In Littleborough, Greater Manchester, England a rotating |
| object landed in a quarry at two o'clock in the morning. Police and |
| two others went to investigate, but found nothing. Later that evening |
| in Oakenholt, Clywd, Wales a woman out walking her dog at 6:15 p.m. |
| was surprised when the animal suddenly laid down on the ground and |
| began whining for no apparent reason. Glancing ahead of her, she saw |
| a bright orange hovering spinning sphere. She then looked to her side |
| and saw nearby, standing in the shadows among some bushes, two |
| silvery-garbed humanoid figures who appeared to be smiling. Her dog |
| temporarily distracted her, and when she looked back again the |
| figures were gone. The bright orange sphere then vanished, and the |
| dog ran home barking. (For a nearly identical incident, but one |
| involving missing time, see the account on February 18, 1990 in |
| Germany). (Sources: (1) Paul Devereax, Earth Lights Revelation, p. |
| 101; (2) Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1979, case # |
| 861, citing Jenny Randles & Paul Whetnall, FSR, Volume 25, No. 4). |
| |
| 1995 - A young man driving in Council Bluffs, Iowa at 7 p.m. saw a |
| huge, gray triangle-shaped object with three solid lights. He pulled |
| off the highway to watch the craft with "archways" silently fly over. |
| (Sources: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, |
| February 1995 webpage archive; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case |
| 17130, citing NUFORC). |
| |
| 1995 - At 8:00 p.m. in Hanret, Hainaut Province, Belgium Veronique |
| V., who had been involved in previous UFO close encounters, had gone |
| outdoors with her car mechanic to fetch her car which had broken |
| down. Once outside both saw an unusual light in the sky. The mechanic |
| thought it was a plane left to tow the car, while Veronique stayed |
| outside and watched the light descend towards her house. She begins |
| to panic and rushes inside her house, switching off the lights and |
| turning on the television. At the same time her dogs began howling in |
| the backyard, and her small Yorkshire terrier began growling as if |
| there was a stranger in the house. Veronique went upstairs and looked |
| out a window. She then noticed that her room appeared "to be without |
| walls" and she saw a hovering triangular UFO direct a beam of white |
| light towards her. The white beam of light lasts for about 10 |
| seconds. On the triangle's front apex she could see different colored |
| lights. The object then began circling the house and Veronique felt a |
| strange attraction to the object, but she fought against it. Suddenly |
| the UFO vanished and everything returned to normal. (Source: Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1995, citing Gerard Grede & |
| Daniel Bukens, SOBEPS). |
| |
| 1999 - In Bangues, Minas Gerais state, Brazil Jose Joaquim Dos Santos |
| was parked on the side of the road resting in his car at midnight |
| when he looked up and saw a short figure with a very large head |
| looking inside his car through a rear passenger window. Frightened, |
| he got out of the car and saw the short figure disappear into the |
| distance up the roadway. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1999, citing Antonio Faleiro, Brazil). |
| |
| 2005 - A man and his son spotted a huge triangular shaped UFO flying |
| over Southfield, Michigan at 6:30 p.m. It flew at a high rate of |
| speed, then suddenly stopped and made a quick turn, and finally shot |
| off into the atmosphere. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, Seattle, webpage, report dated May 11, 2005). |
