|  April 19 |
| |
| 1897 - Mr. Sisson, a postmaster, was walking in the woods on this |
| afternoon in Greenfield, Illinois when he saw an airship in the sky, |
| estimated to be only 150 feet up in the air. He could see a woman on |
| the deck of the object catching pigeons with a net. That same day a |
| man nine miles away found a letter with "Airship Co., Oakland, |
| California" letterhead. The note read, "Having delightful |
| time…Mollie…catching [pigeons] with a net," and went on to describe |
| 200 mph jaunts to St. Louis, Chicago, and Kansas City." (Source: |

| Reports, case A0039, citing the St. Louis (MO) Star, April 20, 1897; |
| Carrollton (IL) Patriot, April 23, 1897; Philip Rife, It Didn't Start |
| with Roswell, p. 10). |
| |
| 1950 - A silver, cigar-shaped object was sighted by a pilot in the |
| morning sky over Clarendon, Texas. It flew slowly and vertically. |
| (Source: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, page 12). |
| |
| 1952 - At 2:30 p.m. a silvery cigar-shaped object flew over Brooklyn, |
| New York. It had a light orange streak two-thirds of the way to the |
| top of the object for its entire length. It flew into a cloud, |
| causing a sparkling light to emanate from the cloud, and did not |
| emerge. That night in Chestertown, Maryland a yellow-orange |
| disc-shaped UFO that was self-luminous moved through the sky in a |
| zigzag motion. It passed over the eastern horizon in two minutes, |
| leaving a trail. At 10:30 p.m. 50 or more pale orange lights in a V |
| formation were seen flying in the sky over Toronto, Ontario. They |
| crossed 30 degrees of sky in seconds. (Source: Edward Sullivan, |
| CSI-Los Angeles case files, letter dated April 25, 1952). |
| |
| 1953 - A white, rounded delta-shaped UFO, seven feet in estimated |
| diameter, flew 100 feet above the ground at 60-80 mph in a vibrating |
| motion over enemy territory northeast of Pammunjon, Korea at 1:00 |
| p.m. It was witnessed by three U.S. soldiers named Morgan, Rymus, and |
| Myers. (Source: APRO Bulletin, July 1953). |
| |
| 1966 - There were five UFO reports this day from Massachusetts and |
| one from neighboring Connecticut. At 12:15 a.m. in Sharon, |
| Massachusetts an oval-shaped UFO has a glowing rim that looked like |
| they might be lighted windows. It had a steady red light on each end |
| and was the size of a car. At 8:00 p.m. an object described as a |
| high-flying, bright purple light flew over Stoughton, Massachusetts |
| giving off a loud, piercing humming sound. At 8:11 p.m. two |
| oval-shaped UFOs with red and green lights hovered directly over the |
| veterans' home and hospital in Hartford, Connecticut. At 10:00 p.m. |
| an elongated oval-shaped craft with bright red lights on each end was |
| seen descending into a wooded area in Bellingham, Massachusetts. Five |
| aircraft and a helicopter flew over the area after the UFO landed |
| remotely, and two aircraft seemed to be circling the area. At 11:45 |
| p.m. a large disc flew over Quincy, Massachusetts accompanied by two |
| smaller discs. They flashed red and white lights, hovered, and swung |
| in the sky in a pendulum motion. At midnight a UFO about the size of |
| a car was seen by two witnesses in a field in Peabody, Massachusetts. |
| It had red, green and white lights, moved with an up-and-down motion, |
| and appeared to land. When the witnesses approached they saw the |
| lights rise from the ground and fly away. (Sources: Raymond E. Fowler |
| investigation files, reports dated April 20-May 14, 1967; Jacques |
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 761). |
| |
| 1967 - A cream colored UFO with a dome, a little larger than a large |
| car, hovered over Tully, Massachusetts at 7:30 p.m. It flashed bright |
| white lights, then red lights. It made some sharp turns, then moved |
| off slowly. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler investigation files, report |
| dated April 29, 1967). |
| |
| 1968 - A woman in Malden, Massachusetts awoke at 2:30 a.m. to a sound |
| "like two steel knives being struck together" and glanced outside. |
| She saw a red glowing object with a point on top that was hovering |
| with a fluttering motion. It flew off over a nearby cemetery. |
| (Source: Raymond E. Fowler investigation files, report dated April |
| 24, 1968). |
| |
| 1975 - Mr. Martindale was walking home from mailing letters in Bay |
| City, Michigan at 11:30 p.m. when he saw a humanoid being standing in |
| his front yard. It looked like a man but it was totally black. He |
| received a mental message to go inside the house and not fear |
| anything. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case A1401). |
| |
| 1977 - Little Haven, Pembrokeshire, Wales. At two o'clock in the |
| morning the radio of hotel owner Rosa Gremville suddenly went dead. |
| Moments later she heard a loud humming noise outside and looking out |
| she was dazzled by a "huge moon lighting up the area, moving about |
| like a seesaw." It descended and landed in a field 100 yards behind |
| the hotel. "It was round, with flames coming from the top of a dome. |
| There was a light on it, like a pulsating star." Two creatures 8 or |
| 9-feet tall emerged from the dome through the flames. They wore cream |
| or silvery colored jumpsuits. She could see no facial features nor |
| any hair on these creatures, eventhough see tried to discern what |
| they looked like through a pair of binoculars. They looked as though |
| they had hands, but she saw no fingers. "I though their feet were |
| webbed." The figures walked around near the object for about 15 |
| minutes. Mrs. Gremville wanted to scream, but she had lost her voice. |
| She went in search of another witness and when they returned the UFO |
| and humanoid figures had gone. Burn marks were found on the ground at |
| the site the next day. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-18; Randall Jones |
| Pugh, FSR, August 1977, p. 6 for BUFORA). |

| farm. The witness to the event fainted and his hair was singed by a |
| close encounter with the UFO. (Source: International UFO Reporter, |
| January 1978, p. 2). |
| |
| 1978 - On this night four children were playing in the basement of a |
| home in South Middleton, Massachusetts when one of the girl's, a |
| suspected UFO abductee, happened to glance at the window. A foot away |
| from the window a white face was staring back at her, just inches |
| above the ground level. it was oval shaped with vertical nose slits |
| and a narrow mouth, the eyes were large slanted and gold in color. A |
| transparent helmet possibly covered the head. She yelled at her |
| companions but when she turned back again to look the entity was |
| gone. (Sources: David F. Webb, MUFON UFO Journal, issue #143; David |
| F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |

| |
| 1979 - At shortly after 11:00 p.m. two witnesses to a UFO in Croy, |
| England ran from their car when the brightly lit object passed low |
| overhead. They reported an abnormal silence, as they could no longer |
| hear the car engine or the door slam when they fled. (Source: |
| International UFO Reporter, August 1979, p. 2). |
| |
| 1984 - At 8:05 p.m. five people in Llano, Texas witnessed a huge |
| dome-shaped UFO fly over their house at only 200 feet altitude. It |
| made a loud humming noise and had lights on the rim. A jet aircraft |
| was seen in pursuit of the UFO. (Source: International UFO Reporter, |
| May-June 1984, p. 16). |
| |
| 1984 - At 16.00 GMT air traffic controllers at an eastern airport in |
| England witnessed a glowing sphere that looked like "masses of silver |
| paper crinkled up" touch down on a cross runway, then rocket skyward |
| in a maneuver they judged impossible for aircraft. It climbed 3000 |
| feet in under a second. (Source: International UFO Reporter, |
| March-April 1986, p. 5). |
| |
| 1989 - On this evening in Fayette County, Pennsylvania a 10-year-old |
| girl saw two short white glowing figures, whom she called angels, |
| near a large glowing UFO. An adult witness saw the UFO shot straight |
| up into the sky when it departed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1989, case 925, citing Stan Gordon, PASU |
| Data Exchange, August 1989). |
| |
| 1993 - At 8:45 p.m. in Black Heath near Salisbury, England a dark |
| charcoal colored cylindrical object was spotted on the ground. The |
| object was 60 feet in length and had four landing legs, two of them |
| appeared to be damaged. Two short, 3.5 foot tall beings with slanted |
| eyes were seen on board. According to the witnesses, a large US Air |
| Force helicopter flew into the area and carried the craft away. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1993, case |

| |
| 1993 - Brian Canfield was driving his truck along a road in the |
| foothills of Mount Rainier, Washington State, when he suddenly |
| experienced total engine failure and his headlights went out at 9:30 |
| p.m. He next saw a nine foot tall, broad-shouldered winged creature |
| land about 30 feet away from him. The being had a large mouth with |
| sharp teeth, yellow eyes, a wolf-like face and was covered with a |
| dark bluish fur. After a few minutes the creature turned its head, |
| looked at him, and started flapping its wings. The creature then took |
| off towards Mount Rainier. Brian was then able to restart his truck |
| and drive away. A later search of the area failed to locate any |
| physical evidence. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1993, case #1961, citing Strange Magazine, issue # 14). |
| |
| 1994 - At 9:40 p.m. in Nykobing Falster, Denmark 21 nocturnal lights |
