|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  December 18 |
| |
| 1933 -  At ten o'clock in the morning hundreds of witnesses in |
| Onkerzeele, Belgium watched a Fatima like solar apparition, with |
| sparks and flames from a dancing "Sun". (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, citing SOS-OVNI France, Phenomena magazine, issue |
| # 12).  |
| |
| 1950 - At 8:39 a.m. a circular light changed shape and brilliance as |
| it hovered over Oak Ridge AEC Laboratories, Tennessee. It faded to a |
| star, then flew away to the northwest. There was radar confirmation |
| of the sighting from the nearby McGhee Air Force Base. (Source: Bruce |
| S Maccabee, MUFON UFO Journal, November 1978, pp. 11, 15). |
| |
| 1954 - At 3:45 a.m. several hundred people, including sentries |
| guarding the Catete Palace in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil witnessed |
| a yellow glowing ovoid object that slowed from a high speed and |
| stopped in just three seconds, and then hovered for 20 minutes. It |
| illuminated the surface of the water in Guanabara Bay, and finally |
| climbed up at an oblique angle, and was gone in 4-5 seconds. Two |
| small jets of exhaust were seen flowing from the lower part of the |
| object while it was accelerating. (Source: UNICAT, case 557, citing |
| Colonel Adil de Oliveira, Brazilian Government report dated October |
| 1956; APRO Bulletin, July 1957). |
| |
| 1957 - A huge flying saucer flew over Oacoma, South Dakota at 5:40 |
| a.m. (Sources: Max Miller, Saucers, March 1958; Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case # 5385). |
| |
| 1957 - A white light source glided overhead in Sarasota, Florida. |
| There were many witnesses and TV interference was noted at the time. |
| (Sources: Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, pp. 75, 147; George D. |
| Fawcett, Flying Saucers, December 1967, p. 24). |
| |
| 1966 - At 4:40 p.m. a 23-year-old man at the eastern shore of Lake |
| Tiorati in Bear Mountain State Park, Orange County, New York looked |
| up and saw a silver-brown domed disc-shaped object in the western sky |
| at 45° elevation, heading northeast. It was wobbling and noiseless. |
| He was able to take a photograph of the object before it disappeared |
| over and behind a fire tower on a 1,320 foot hill about half a mile |
| away. (Sources: NICAP case investigation files; J. Allen Hynek, The |
| Hynek UFO Report, pp. 239-245). |
| |
| 1968 A man and woman in their late twenties were driving together |
| in a car five miles north of Wairakei, New Zealand at around 11:45 |
| p.m. when they drove by a tall being around six feet tall. The man |
| wore a shiny dark blue or black loose fitting one-piece suit that was |
| tucked in at the boots. The being also wore gloves, a belt, and a |
| cylindrical helmet with a clear visor. (Source: Anthony J. Brunt, |
| FSR, July-August 1969, p. 29). |
| |
| 1975 At 7:45 a.m. a "dah-dit" noise accompanied the slow ascent of |
| an eight-meter wide, gray domed disc over a residential area of Ancy, |
| France. The object had square shaped windows. It flew away toward the |
| southeast. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, May 1976). |
| |
| A aircraft flying near Maelifelli, Iceland on this day in 1976 picked |
| up a clear radar image of a UFO at a distance of 100 miles and flying |
| at 18,000 feet altitude. They tracked the UFO for one minute as it |
| rushed below and passed their plane at a speed of 3,600 miles per |
| hour. (Source: International UFO Reporter, March 1977, p. 2). |
| |
| 1976 At 12:55 a.m. on Soda Springs Mountain Road in Caribou County, |
| Idaho three police officers had a close encounter with a 30-foot |
| diameter oval-shaped UFO. The object was devoid of seams or windows, |
| and had the bulk of three to four cars. It emitted a light green |
| light and hovered only 60 feet away from them. It made no sound when |
| hovering, but made a whistling "wind" sound when in motion. (Sources: |
| J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies case investigations file, |
| December 1976; International UFO Reporter, February 1977, p. 6). |
| |
| 1976 Twenty-two hours later at 10:30 p.m. six witnesses, twenty |
| miles south of Miami, Florida watched an oval glow with a disc-shaped |
| object inside fly to the south, passing over their heads at only 150 |
| feet. The object turned and flew away to the west. (Sources: J. Allen |
| Hynek Center for UFO Studies case investigations file, December 1976; |
| International UFO Reporter, February 1977, p. 5). |
| |
| 1977 In Guadalajara, Spain a 34-year-old man, Mr. Miguel Herrero |
| Sierra was driving his pickup truck down a road at a few minutes past |
| midnight when the vehicles lights, engine, and radio suddenly died. |
| He pulled to the side of the road but couldn't find anything wrong |
| with the car. He decided to wait in the truck for help. A man dressed |
| in a divers suit approached and told him through telepathy to come |
| aboard a hat-shaped UFO, under which there was a cylindrical chamber |
| that extended to the ground. Inside the object was a 14-meter wide |
| circular room with smooth walls. Mr. Herrero stayed inside for |
| approximately three hours, communicating telepathically with the |
| occupants of the craft. He was released later, and discovered that he |
| had a small puncture wound on his arm, as if they had taken a blood |
| sample from him although he did not recall them doing so. (Source: |
| Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, April 1978, p. 15, citing |
| Cronica, January 26, 1978; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1977-57). |
| |
| 1977 On the same night, at four oclock in the morning Central |
| Standard Time, three 16-year-old girls saw a frightening monster |
| while driving 15 miles north of Zoto del Marina, Mexico. (Source: |
| letter from one of the witnesses to the J. Allen Hynek, Center for |
| UFO Studies, dated August 9, 1978). |
| |
| 1980 Several witnesses on a farm in Colesburg, Eastern Cape, South |
| Africa watched an odd glowing cloud-like object with a hazy funnel of |
| light that reached downward to the ground for five minutes on an |
| otherwise clear night. (Source: Cynthia Hind, MUFON UFO Journal, May |
| 1981, p. 8). |
| |
| 1980 On the same night on a farm in Sao Jose do Rio Preto, Brazil, |
| four men and women watched farm animals (cows and horses) panic and |
| run from a 10-inch wide flying silver sphere that flew around for 30 |
| seconds. (Source: Cynthia Newby Luce, MUFON investigation files |
| database, case #931248J). |
| |
| 1988 - At 2:45 a.m. four gendarmes in Le Vigan, Gard, France |
| traveling in two vehicles observed a strange form hovering low ahead |
| of them, composed of superimposed red luminous rectangles. The object |
| was 7-8 meters above the center of the road. (Source: GEIPAN, case # |
| 24). |
| |
| 1992 Several people at the local Dairy Queen in Iaeger, West |
| Virginia saw a large diamond-shaped UFO with a squared back fly over |
| toward the southwest at 7:10 p.m. (Source: Bob Teets, West Virginia |
| UFOs: Close Encounters in the Mountain State, p. 61, citing field |
| investigator D. Church). |
| |
| 1996 Two witnesses in Eugene, Oregon saw a nocturnal light |
| zigzagging at a high altitude and making ninety-degree turns at 4:30 |
| a.m. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle). |
| |
| 1997 - In Oxnard, California at 10:50 p.m. a large cigar-shaped |
| object followed the power lines; continuing on, it went out to sea. |
| (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, |
| Dec. 2007 webpage). |
| |
| 2001 - Two gray plumes of smoke were first seen in the sky over |
| Stockport Railway Station in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. |
| A gray triangular object was then witnessed in the sky. Later that |
| evening, at 8:00 p.m., a circular red light was seen high up in the |
| sky moving quickly. It slowed down, accelerated, and then wobbled |
| from side to side. At 8:50 in Crawley, West Sussex, England an object |
| looking like a rounded triangle was sighted. It was longer at one |
| point, with a giant light in the center. (Source: British Ministry of |
| Defence, cases 189-199 for 2001). |
| |
| 2004 - Several strange lights were seen from Cau-Cau, Horcon, Chile |
| starting at 8:30 p.m., engaging in complex maneuvers. A dot was first |
| seen, then a vertical line that turned to the left. Contrails left in |
| the wake of the objects and their irregular, sudden |
| maneuvers suggested they were not conventional aircraft. Photographs |
| were reportedly taken. (Source: Scott Corrales, ufoinfo.com, report |
| dated December 31, 2004). |
| |
| 2005 - At 11:00 p.m. a farmer in Knox, Indiana had a close encounter |
| with a saucer-shaped craft hovering over his nearby field. It was |
| about 50 feet in the air. It had a red and blue light, and made no |
| sound. After hovering for three minutes it flew off to the west. |
