|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  August 5 |
| |
| 1927 - At 9:30 in the morning while climbing in the Humbolt Range of |
| the Altai Mountains in Mongolia, explorer Nicholas Roerich and seven |
| companions saw a huge, shiny, flying oval-shaped object that |
| reflected the sunlight. It flew from north to south, then changed |
| direction and flew off to the southeast. The UFO was in view for |
| several minutes and was examined through binoculars. Witnesses of the |
| daylight UFO included members of the mountaineering expedition, |
| Mongols, and Buriat lamas. The lamas believed it was the "Sign of |
| Shambala." (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Anatomy of a Phenomenon, p. 22; |
| J. Allen Hynek, International UFO Reporter, January 1982, p. 10). |
| |
| 1950 - On this day one of the most famous UFO movies of all time was |
| shot in Great Falls, Montana. The 16mm film was shot by Nick Mariana |
| and was witnessed by his secretary, Virginia Raunig. It shows |
| aluminum colored discs, "like two new dimes", hovering in the sky at |
| a distance of two miles. It was sent to the U.S. Air Force for |
| analysis, but when it was returned Mr. Mariana claimed many frames |
| from the first part of the film, those showing the best closeup |
| images of the objects, had been deleted. The existing film consists |
| of 280 frames of 16mm film. The UFOs first hovered, then moved |
| smoothly at very high speed (400 mph) in an arch beind a water tower. |
| The objects estimated diameter was 50 feet. (Sources: Richard F. |
| Haines, Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO, p. 138; UNICAT, case |
| 310; Edward U. Condon, Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying |
| Objects, p. 407). |
| |
| 1952 - Another famous case, a radar-visual confirmation, occurred in |
| Japan on this day. A UFO hovered over the Haneda U.S. Air Force base |
| near Tokyo and had several ground military witnesses in addition to |
| radar tracking. It looked like a dark shape with a light, and it flew |
| at 330 knots, then hovered, then performed a variety of maneuvers. It |
| was tracked by airborne radar for 90 seconds.The UFO moved off at |
| extreme speed, and then divided into three parts. (Sources: Project |

| Mahieu saw five brown, disc-shaped craft come down from the sky and |
| fly back up again at a high rate of speed. One of them flew under the |
| others. Two discs appeared to land 300 meters away near the German |
| cemetery. The others flew away toward the south at tremendous speed. |
| (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| p. 250). |

| |
| 1955 - At 2:30 p.m. Messrs. Coisin and Mahieu saw five brown, |
| disc-shaped machines coming down in Buzancy, Ardennes, France. They |
| maneuvered at great speed. One of them flew under the others, then |
| two discs appeared to land 300 meters away near the German cemetery. |
| The others flew away toward the south at tremendous speed. (Source: |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case |
| 369). |
| |
| 1962 - On a highway between Las Armas and General Pirana, Argentina |
| in Buenos Aires province at 1:45 a.m., Sr. P. Atilli had his truck's |
| engine fail in the presence of a glowing orange, cigar-shaped UFO. |
| The object was 25 meters long and 300 meters away, and gave off |
| flashes of violet and green light. It shot off toward the |
| west. (Sources: Uriondo Oscar A. Uriondo, FSR Case Histories, December 1972, p. |
| 10; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. |
| 19). |
| |
| 1963 - Shortly after midnight in Wayne County, Illinois a car with |
| several teenagers was followed for 10 miles between Wayne City and |
| Mount Vernon by white light. The UFO made a humming sound as it |
| followed them. The car radio went crazy and the engine stalled as the |
| object passed over, and the witnesses felt a sensation of cold when |
| the UFO passed within 100 feet. Multiple independent witnesses. |

| ground level, and then sped away to the north. (Sources: NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, October 1967, p. 3; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 864, citing NICAP). |
| |

| minutes. (2) That night, at 10:15 p.m., a metallic UFO approached a |
| car 15 miles northwest of Raleigh, North Carolina on Highway 50, |
| being driven by a Mrs. McWhite with one passenger. The car headlights |

| okay and the lights and radio functioned properly againafter the UFO |
| left, about 30 seconds later. (3) Two and a half hours later, at |
| 10:45 p.m. Mountain Time, five woman driving fourteen miles west of |
| Ponoka, Alberta, Canada had a similar UFO close encounter with |
| electromagnetic effects; the driver was a 38-year-old woman named |
| Scott, and the incident lasted much long, about an hour. (Sources: |

| 1970 - Around 4:30 a.m. between Plasencia and Bejar, Caceres, Spain a |
| man was driving through a forest when he sighted a brightly lit, |
| yard-wide sphere in the sky that stopped, descended vertically into a |
| clearing in the forest, and then darkened. At 10:45 p.m. a UFO in |
| Cazalla de la Sierra, Seville, Spain caused the furious barking of |
| two dogs. What appeared before the four witnesses was a |
| two-dimensional illuminated 2 m by 1 m rectangle, hovering in the sky |
| only ten meters away, perpendicular to the ground, which blocked the |
| view of the vegetation behind it. It vanished when a gun was pointed |
| in its direction. (Source: (1) Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, |

| UFOs occurred shortly after dusk in Maracaibo, Venezuela. Two |
| peasants in their twenties, named Sr. Chiaka and Sr. Monteil, were |
| returning home when they were blinded by a round object in the sky |
| that was "flattened at the sides, and of a silvery color." They found |
| themselves paralyzed and unable to move as the object landed. Two |
| humanoid beings, who were more than two meters tall, emerged from the |
| craft, wearing "lead colored clothing like the skin of sardines." |
| They also had on blue colored goggles and dark belts. They approached |
| the witnesses slowly, making gestures, while a whistling sound came |
| from their machine. What happened next was completely bewildering. |
| Two other UFOs descended from the sky "and took the first UFO and its |
| occupants in tow." The witnesses were then able to move again, and |
| made their escape. (Sources: La Razon, August 6, 1974; David F. Webb |

| front of car, and it was then that they saw a 40-foot wide, |
| scallop-shell shaped object sitting on legs. The craft had windows, |
| and through the windows they could see seven-foot tall entities |
| inside that had big eyes. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, |

| field. Approaching the village of Chirimoya, he noticed what appeared |
| to be a "power plant," well lighted, on the side of the road. |
| Confused by their presence, he stopped his cab and noticed that the |
| lights were oval shaped. Quickly a fog-like smoke approached the |
| vehicle, causing him to get scared and drive away. As he drove away |
| he saw a strange vehicle on the side of the road nearby, and it had |
| several large headless dark humanoid figures milling around it. The |
| figures seemed to be signaling Luna to stop his vehicle. When he |
| arrived at his destination he noticed that he had almost three hours |

| men in Bonaire, Georgia came upon a stand of oak trees alongside a |
| field where they had just run their dogs, and saw some lights coming |
| from the woods. They decided to investigate and walked into the woods |
| approximately 60 yards before they heard a loud whooshing sound. |
| Their dogs then tucked their tails and began whining. When the men |
| tried to get a closer look the lights dimmed, and another whooshing |
| sound was heard. The men then saw two small green “midgets” run from |
| behind a tree toward what appeared to be a large “concrete mixer” |
| with lights on it. Later on, after waiting awhile and drinking a |
| beer, the men ran back up the hill with their dogs. The light and the |
| object had gone, and there was an eerie silence throughout the woods, |
| so that even the insects were completely quiet. The next day, the men |
| returned to the spot and found nothing out of the ordinary. Later |
| that next evening one of the men went to feed his dogs and found that |
| “Judo,” his best hunting dog, was sick and would not eat anything. He |
| claims the dog died later that week without any apparent reason. |
