|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  March 19 |
| |
| 1950 - In 1950 in Sonderborg, Denmark at 2:30 a.m., mechanic J. Matiszewski |
| heard a whistling sound that drew him outside. He then watched a UFO |
| land in a meadow. When he approached to within 50 meters he suddenly |
| felt paralyzed, and he observed that birds and cows in the vicinity |
| were also unable to move. He stood motionless as four handsome men |
| with brown complexions, wearing shiny black suits and translucent |
| helmets, emerged from the craft and engaged in repair activities. |

| |
| 1953 - In 1953 US Army spotter planes saw a round white UFO flying 25 miles |
| northeast of Panmunjon, Korea. It was described as 10 feet in |
| diameter, and moving with a vibrating motion. (Source: Dominique |
| Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 20). |
| |
| 1958 - A large, disc-shaped object was seen on the ground near |
| Moscow, Russia. It rose in a spiral motion, then took off and was |
| lost from sight. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, case 463). |
| |
| 1959 - At 8:45 p.m. on this day in 1959 a metallic disc, six meters in |
| diameter, paced a car on highway 124 southeast of Kyger, Ohio. |
| Electromagnetic effects noted at the time of this close encounter |
| were a buzzing on the car radio and the dimming of the headlights and |
| dashboard lights. (Source: Gallipolis (Ohio) Daily Tribune, March 20, |
| 1959; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, |
| case 100, citing Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence (Volume I)). |
| |
| 1959 - Fifteen minutes later, at 9:00 p.m., two seminary roommates |
| were outdoors on the grounds of the Lady of Grace Monastery in |
| Colebrook, New Hampshire when they saw a silvery colored, |
| Saturn-shaped, ovoid UFO descend over them. The craft had lighted |
| windows around its lower portion and blinking red, yellow, and green |
| lights around its outer rim. It also emitted a loud humming sound. |
| The craft flew towards and then retreated from the witnesses several |
| times. They apparently suffered a period of amnesia. Years later |
| under hypnosis one of the witnesses recalled that the craft landed |
| nearby on three legs and all normal noises ceased. They both were |
| paralyzed and were both then floated up a ramp and taken onboard the |
| craft, where they communicated by telepathy with four humanoids of |
| differing heights, including a taller six-foot tall being that |
| appeared to be the leader. Both were given physical exams and several |
| experiments were conducted on them. They were able to see a "mother |
| ship" and other craft through a window in the UFO on which they flew, |
| and were taken onboard the larger craft where they saw other human |
| abductees. (Sources: Morton Schaffer, MUFON field investigations |
| database, case # 930402E; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1959, case # 715, citing Morton Schafer, MUFON UFO Journal, |
| issue # 302). |
| |
| 1966 - In the pre-dawn hours of 1966, police and others in La Porte, Indiana |
| saw a 40-foot-long luminous football shaped object surrounded by |
| misty white rings. It emitted a brilliant white light as it paced a |
| police car. It was described as having horn-shaped antenna-like |
| projections on the underside that were 13-14 feet long. (Source: Fred |
| V. Sacksteder, Flying Saucers, October 1966, p. 15). At 5:20 a.m. an |
| elliptical UFO with a row of lights along the bottom was seen over |
| Big Rapids, Michigan. The lights flickered on-and-off one at a time. |
| (Source: Gordon Lore, Jr., UFOs: A New Look, p. 46). |
| |
| 1966 - At 6 p.m. a flat-topped cone-shaped UFO w oval-shaped windows |
| hovered over Niteroi, Brazil. It was viewed through binoculars as it |
| flew slowly to the west, then shot off towards the east as jet |
| aircraft pursued it. (Source: Irene Granchi, UFO Abductions and |
| Reports from Brazil, p. 44). That night at 11:10 p.m. three crewman |
| aboard the Coast Guard Cutter "Legare" had a close encounter with an |
| oval-shaped UFO near Freeport, Texas. There was a power failure in |
| the city at the time. (Source: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence |
| Volume II: A Thirty-year Report, p. 318). |
| |
| 1968 - At 8:30 p.m. ten-year-old Gregory L. Wells was returning from |
| his grandmother's house to his own home next door, when he saw a red |
| oval-shaped UFO hovering just over some trees. The large red object |
| was so bright that it illuminated the road. It had a band of dimmer |
| red lights flashing around its center. "I stopped," Gregory recalled. |
| "I wanted to run or scream but suddenly a big tube came out of the |
| bottom, which moved from side to side until it came to me, and a beam |
| of light shot out." Gregory turned away as the light beam hit the |
| upper part of his arm, knocking him to the ground. His jacket caught |
| fire and the boy rolled around on the ground screaming with fright. |
| Both his mother and grandmother responded. Mrs. James Wells, the |
| boy's mother, also reported seeing the UFO, which "just faded away." |
| During the sighting a large street light on a nearby pole went out |
| and the dog barked uncontrollably. The burning jacket resulted in |
| second-degree burns that required medical attention. (Sources: Coral |
| E. Lorenzen, UFOs: The Whole Story, p. 198; Leonard H. Stringfield, |
| Situation Red - The UFO Siege). |
| |
| 1969 - Near Gladstone, Queensland, Australia a saucer-shaped object |
| approached two cars, hovered near one car, and began pulsating. As it |
| got brighter, the cars' headlights spread wider than usual; as it |
| dimmed, the headlights went back to normal. The two cars kept driving |
| together, but the craft again came to hover over one of the cars. The |
| drivers stopped again, but this time nothing happened to the |
| headlights. The object rocked gently while keeping its position. |
| After a few minutes of hovering it flew quickly into the distance. |
| (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, |
| case 269, citing Data-Net, April, 1970) |
| |
| 1969 - In 1969 Renato Bifarella of Caltanissetta, Italy on the island of |
| Sicily was looking at the sky with binoculars on a night of a full |
| moon, when at 1:35 a.m. he saw what resembled a “tortoise” hovering |
| in the sky. It was green in color with pale brown spots, and had |
| “legs” underneath. It was 5-6 meters wide and four meters high, with |
| a brilliantly lit turret in which he could see at least two figures |
| moving about. It approached him, and emitted a beam of pink light |
| that struck him and caused him to faint. When he regained |
| consciousness, he could see that the UFO had led down two thick |
| “ropes” that were one meter in thickness. Through binoculars he was |
| able to see that two humanoid figures—one in red overalls and the |
| other in white, with blue helmets---were climbing toward the object. |
| The witness fainted again, and when he came to, the object was gone. |

| Reports, case #1969-26 (A1037), citing Francesco Izzo, Italian CE-III |
| Catalogue). |
| |
| 1972 - In 1972 at 10 p.m. in Acuescoma, Mexico at least four people saw a |
| glowing blue sphere land. It rose giving off blue sparks and making a |
| humming sound. It also left four imprints in the ground forming a |
| square 2.5 meters wide, and a central burn mark. (Source: Skylook, |
| July 1972, p. 9). There was an electromagnetic effects case that |
| evening in Chard, England. (Source: Harold Watkins, FSR Case |
| Histories, June 1973, p. 2). |
| |
| 1974 - In 1974 a witness in Gerena, Spain looked out the window of his home |
| and saw a two meter diameter disc only four meters away from the |
| house. Two helmeted heads of little men were visible inside the |
| craft. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, volume 141). |
| |
| 1975 - In 1975 two police officers in Stockton, California saw an object |
| hovering over parts of the city on four separate occasions, beginning |
| at 1:20 a.m. The UFO was seen changing shape from a cigar to round in |
| appearance. The Stockton city desk sergeant vouched for the veracity |
| of the two police officers. (Source: KLOK radio transcript, CUFOS |
| files). |
| |
| 1976 - In 1976 a flying disc paced a car with three people inside very |
| closely in Big Run, Pennsylvania. White beams of light were directed |
| into the car from the UFO. It flew away when the car reached a |
| highway intersection. An independent observer witnessed the incident. |
| (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator, April 1977). |
| |
| 1980 - In the evening in 1980 a 29-year-old man on a motorcycle was chased |
| for over an hour by a small, oval-shaped UFO. The UFO was about two |
| feet in diameter and had sparks shooting out of it in all directions. |
| It flew low above the ground. That same evening a golden colored UFO |
| hovered over the Mississippi River for 50 minutes near Keithsberg, |
| Illinois. It moved back and forth, descending and ascending over the |
| trees along the riverbank. (Sources: UFO Newsclipping Service, May |
| 1980, p. 11; MUFON UFO Journal, September 1980). |
| |
| 1986 - A wave of UFO sightings started in Brazil on this date in 1986. |
| (Source: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A thirty-year |
| report, p. 29). |
| |
| 1992 - In 1992 at 3:52 a.m. in Haines City, Florida police officer Delgado |
| had a close encounter of the second kind with a 15-foot-wide green, |
| domed disc that paced his patrol car. The engine, lights, and two-way |
| radio of his car failed when the UFO passed less than 20 feet |
| overhead, and he felt the interior of his vehicle become cold. |
| (Source: CUFOS investigation files; Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, Volume II: A thirty-year report, p. 259). |
| |
| 1993 - In 1993 a huge flying saucer loomed over a water tank in the state |
| forest near Guanica, Puerto Rico at 9:40 p.m. It was silent and lit |
| up the area. (Source: Larry Hatch, U database, case 15994). |
| |
| 1995 - In 1995 anomalous radar echoes were recorded in the Central European |
| surveillance area by the region's air traffic controllers. That night |
| in Franklin, Georgia a young woman's bedroom was invaded by short, |
| gremlin-like creatures with yellowish-brown skin, large pointed ears, |
| and large round eyes. They stood about 3.5 feet tall, and she |
| believed she received telepathic messages from them. She had a strong |
| sense that her actions were being controlled by them, and she was |
| forced to go back to sleep despite the alarm that she felt. That same |
| evening a UFO landed on a lawn in Mobile, Alabama. The object was |
| dark and its features could not be discerned, but it flashed bright |
| lights into the home on the property. (Sources: Illobrand von |
| Ludwiger, Best UFO cases-Europe, p. 109; Albert Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact database 1995; Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle, March 1995 report archive). |
| |
| 1996 - In 1996 anomalous radar echoes were again recorded in the Central |
| European surveillance area by the region's air traffic controllers. |
| At 10:30 p.m. a UFO was seen from Highway 54 in Texas near the New |
| Mexico border, just beyond the intersection with I-10. (Sources: |
| Illobrand von Ludwiger, Best UFO cases-Europe, p. 109; Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, March 1996 report |
| web page). |
| |
| 1997 - In 1997 at 4:05 a.m. police in La Escala, Spain saw a yellow light |
| near the ground change color to orange. There was a 4-meter tall |
| shadowy human figure in the center of the light. One witness |
| attempted to photograph it, but the light dimmed, became oval shaped, |
| and vanished. Flattened grass was discovered at the site. Seven hours |
| later, at 5:05 EST, a driver in Nottingham, New Hampshire watched |
| several golf ball sized balls-of-light zig-zag only a meter away from |
| near his driver's side outside car mirror. He heard a voice in his |
| head that told him to drive west. He refused and drove north instead. |
| He then lost control of the car and saw a cylindrical UFO approach, |
| the approximate size of a small 12-passenger bus. The telepathic |
| messages he received included warnings about future events. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1997). |
| |
| 1998 - In 1998 two diamond-shaped UFOs flew over Grosse Ile, Michigan. They |
| changed shape and color, but maintained a constant speed. (Source: |
| Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, March 1998 web page). |
| |
| 2002 - In 2002 at 2:00 p.m. a metallic "saucer" was seen flying to the north |
| over the skyscrapers of downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. (Source: |
| 2002 Canadian UFO Survey, case 109). |
