|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  September 19 |
| |
| 1947 - A Humble Oil geophysicist in Grand Isle, Louisiana was testing |
| radar to detect bad weather at 5:30 p.m. when his radar detected a |
| UFO shooting to the southwest at a speed greater than 1,000 mph for |
| less than a minute. (Source: Jan Aldrich, Project 1947: A Preliminary |
| Report on the 1947 UFO Sighting Wave, p. 43, citing Houston Press, |
| March 24, 1950). |
| |
| 1952 - Five men in a RAF Meteor aircraft, including John W. Kilburn, |
| were flying at 5,000 feet altitude over Dishforth, North York, |
| England when they sighted a UFO at 1,000 feet above their plane at |
| 10:53 a.m. They described it as round and silvery, and it changed |
| shape to something more elliptical. It was solid looking, and |
| it swung like a pendulum as it lost altitude. Ten British officers |
| had just deplaned from Operation Mainbrace at Dishforth Aerodrome |
| when they spotted the same UFO. It appeared as a white, round, |
| glimmering circular object, followed by the RAF Meteor jet aircraft |
| two miles back. The UFO lost altitude, and then fluttered like a leaf |
| in a pendulum-like motion. (Sources: Aime Michel, The Truth About |
| Flying Saucers, p. 136; UNICAT, case # 413; Thomas M. Olsen, The |
| Reference for Outstanding UFO Reports, case # 24; Michael David Hall, |
| Captain Edward J. Ruppelt: Summer of the Saucers - 1952, p. 194). |
| |
| 1954 - At 4:30 p.m. five women in Col du Beal, Puy-de-Dome, France |
| saw a flat gray, metallic disc-shaped object that hovered for 30 |
| seconds, then accelerated rapidly and flew away to the northwest. |
| (Source: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, |
| p. 62).  |
| |
| 1954 - At 9:15 p.m. a policeman, Louis Moll, saw a bright light land |
| on the heights in Oberdoff, Moselle department, France, then darken. |
| The object was the size of a small bus. The light from the object |
| became reddish, and he could see a black silhouetted figure moving |
| around in front of it. After 40 seconds the object then rose up into |
| the air again, and took on the appearance of a red ball. It flew off |
| to the southeast. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the |
| Straight Line Mystery, p. 63; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1954-51 (A0250); Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 149). |
| |
| 1957 - A boomerang-shaped object bigger than a house was reported to |
| have landed in Point Pleasant, New Jersey at 6:40 p.m. According to |
| eyewitness accounts the grass had been flattened at the landing site. |
| (Sources: Project Blue Book files; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 258). |
| |
| 1961 - In perhaps the most famous UFO abduction story ever reported, |
| Betty and Barney Hill, a biracial married couple active in the Civil |
| Rights movement, were driving home from Montreal to their home in |
| Portsmouth, New Hampshire late on this evening. When they reached |
| Colebrook they noticed a bright lighted object in the sky that seemed |
| to be pacing their car, and they continued to observe it as the drove |
| along a desolate section of U.S. Route 3 through the White Mountains. |
| Around Indian Head, New Hamsphire they stopped by the side of the |
| road to take a closer look, and saw through binoculars a lenticular |
| object with a double row of portholes and half a dozen dark figures |
| working at control panels inside. One of the occupants seemed to |
| stare directly at them. They became frightened and drove away. A |
| "beeping sound" enveloped their car, and they felt a prickling |
| sensation before losing consciousness. |
| |
| When they came to, they were driving near Ashland, New Hampshire. |
| They arrived home in Portsmouth unable to account for about two |
| hours. A series of nightmares and then a series of hypnosis sessions |
| performed by a psychiatrist in Boston brought back memories of their |
| abduction experience by the occupants of the UFO. They encountered |
| six five-foot-tall entities with large eyes and heads. One acted as |
| their guide or interpreter, and he communicated with them by |
| telepathy. They were separated, stripped for a medical exam during |
| which a needle was inserted in Betty Hill's navel and Barney's |
| dentures were removed and examined. There was also a map of the stars |
| seen at one point, and Betty asked to take an artifact as evidence of |
| their experience, but was refused. (Sources: John Fuller, The |
| Interrupted Journey, New York: Dial, 1966; Thomas M. Olsen, Reference |
| for Outstanding UFO Reports, case 125; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 524; UNICAT, case 328). |

| |
| 1963 - Four children in Saskatoon, Saskachewan, Canada saw a bright |
| oval object hover in a field and drop something. Approaching the |
| site, they were confronted by a three meter tall man dressed in a |
| white monk's suit, who held out his hands and made unintelligible |
| sounds. The giant entity was semi-transparent and had no visible |
| face. The children fled in panic. One girl was admitted to the |
| hospital in shock. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, case 581; John A. Keel, Operation Trojan Horse, |
| p. 145; John Brent Musgrave, UFO Occupants and Critters, p. 44). |
| |
| 1967 - At 7:30 p.m. Aeroflot IL-14 airliner flying over Volgograd, |
| Russia was buzzed by a UFO. The aircraft engines quit temporarily, |
| but then restarted as the object shot off toward the east. Ten |
| minutes later, a luminous crescent-shaped object was seen high in the |
| sky by a group of scientists in Belgogradskaya District, Russia at |
| 7:40 p.m. The object then began making a rapid descent. It had |
| a cone-shaped tail. For 40 seconds it engaged in a falling leaf |
| motion, turned red, then assumed a drop shape, and finally dissolved |
| away and vanished. (Sources: Felix Zigel, unpublished manuscript, pp. |
| 32-36; L. M. Gindilis, Observations of Anomalous Atmospheric |
| Phenomena in the USSR, p. 37; Jacques Vallee, UFO Chronicles of the |
| Soviet Union: A Cosmic Samizdat, p. 193). |
| |
| 1968 - At 6:10 p.m. in the city of Bistrita, Romania a group of |
| observers including a man named Rusu watched a disc-shaped object |
| with three small lights hovering for five minutes. The object stayed |
| in one place during heavy winds, and caused electromagnetic |
| interference effects at a nearby radio station and also blocked TV |
| reception. It flew off rapidly to the south. (Source: Ion Hobana & |
| Julien Weverbergh, UFOs from Behind the Iron Curtain, p. 144). |
| |
| 1968 - At 8:00 p.m. Mr. Tsekhanovich, a high trained observer, |
| watched as a  bright pulsating orange ball descended over the ocean |
| as it was being circled by four smaller balls of light near Gagra, |
| Georgia. The large UFO became elongated and then vanished. One minute |
| later there was a flash of light and all the remaining objects were |
| gone as well. (Sources: Xenolog, August 1976, p. 13; Jacques Vallee, |
| UFO Chronicles of the Soviet Union: A Cosmic Samizdat, p. 138). |
| |
| 1970 - At 10:30 p.m. a two-meter in diameter halo of light hovered |
| over a 22-year-old woman on a farm near Villalba del Alcores, |
| Valladolid, Spain making a buzzing sound. Dogs on the farm acted |
| stunned and disoriented. (Sources: Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, |
| Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in Spain and Portugal, case 136; |
| Stendek, June 1971, p. 5). |
| |
| 1971 - On this evening in Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires province, |
| Argentina 19-year-old Osvaldo D'Annunzio had a close encounter of the |
| second kind with a UFO that involved landing traces and physiological |
| effects. (Source: UFO Nachtrichten, March 1972, citing an unnamed |
| newspaper source; Data-Net Report, June 1972, p. 15.) |
| |
| 1972 - Mr. Jamieson took photographs as a brilliant disc-shaped |
| object flipped 6-8 times in the sky over Broadmeadows North, a suburb |
| of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia at 10:10 p.m. The object flew at |
| fantastic speeds and was observed for more than 15 minutes. (Sources: |
| APRO Bulletin, September-October 1972, p. 11; FSR, January-February |
| 1973, p. 30). |
| |
| 1972 - At 5:00 p.m. a sphere with a  triangular tail landed in the |
| city of Rosetto Abbruzzi, Italy. After about a minute it took off |
| very fast. (Source: Maurizio Verga, ITACAT). |
| |
| 1973 - After midnight two successive F-4 jet interceptors flying |
| above Tehran, Iran attempted to catch a radar-visual UFO that had |
| been widely reported by civilians. Every time visual contact was made |
| and the crews attempted to arm a missile and prepare to fire at it, |
| the weapons systems electronics failed. (Source: Fund for UFO |
| Research, citing DIA documents). |
| |
| 1973 - At 7:30 p.m. a shiny salad-bowl shaped domed disc hovered at |
| low altitude over Dunkerque, Nord, France. It made no sound, and |
| there were many witnesses at the border post. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case 10122; Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 133). |
| |
| 1974 - At 12:45 a.m. Younic Le Bihan, age 20, was awakened by his |
| parents to observe a UFO hovering outside their house in Riec sur |
| Belon, France. The family was using binoculars to view it. The object |
| resembled a boat; it had lights like portholes that emitted a very |
| bright light that changed from orange to green, and on each side of |
| the base was a red light. The object was estimated to be 30 feet wide |
| and 22 feet high, and it hovered just two feet above the ground. Then |
| the lights were extinguished, and the family saw a star-like light |
| that quickly disappeared. Younic then observed three heavy set |
| humanoid figures, about 5 1/2 foot tall, "waddling" toward them. The |
| beings were dressed in metallic suits and appeared to be |
| floating above the ground, and their faces were not visible. The |
| family fled from their house in fear. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1974-48, |
| citing J. L. Brochard & Pascal Gireaudot). |
| |
| 1975 - In Les Mureaux, France at 10:30 p.m. a 22-meter long |
| reddish-orange cigar-shaped object zig-zagged up the Seine River at |
| only 5 meters altitude. The size and distance of the object was |
| calculated by triangulation. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, January |
| 1977). |
| |
| 1976 - Two Iranian Air Force F-4 Phantom jets with AIM-9 missiles |
| were scrambled to intercept a UFO, 40 nautical miles north of Tehran, |
| Iran at 1:30 a.m. local time. They were vectored in by ground radar, |
| and the UFO was described as a brightly luminous domed disc the size |
| of a Boeing 707. A small object was shot by the larger disc toward |
| the plane. First, the aircrafts' inertial navigation systems |
| fluctuated and their radio communications were lost. When the pilot |
| of the first aircraft, Houssain Perouzi, tried to fire one of his |
| missiles at the UFO, their jet lost control of all its instruments. |
| The second jet just lost weapons control. The disc was changing |
| colors and shape when first detected; it next engaged in a series of |
| sharp maneuvers. A third object descended vertically and landed in a |
| desert area. The entire incident lasted two hours. (Sources: APRO |
| Bulletin, September 1976, p. 1; Richard H. Hall, International UFO |
| Reporter, March 1992, p. 4; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO |
| Encounters, p. 50; UNICAT, case # 372; Richard F. Haines, citing a |
| Joint Chiefs of Staff report dated July 19, 1978; Richard H. Hall, |
| The UFO Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, pp. 20, 122, 244). |
| |
| 1976 - At 1:10 a.m. four crew members on a Boeing 707 airliner, |
| Duarte, Alexio, Graca, and Santos, flying over the Atlantic Ocean |
| between the Azores and Lisbon, Portugal at 35,000 feet altitude |
| encountered an intense bluish light, which suddenly turned off, then |
| became many less intense lights. There were three or four on top of |
| the object, three smaller yellow lights below that, and two at the |
| bottom of the object that looked like portholes. The minimum distance |
| to the object was one mile. The duration of the sighting was five |
| minutes. (Source: UNICAT, case # 790, citing Joaquim Fernandes, p. |
| 163). |
| |
| 1976 - At 1:15 a.m. Eloi Weigert and Jose Pinto, captain and first |
| officer of the Portuguese airline TAP, flying a Boeing 707 airliner |
| at 4000 feet altitude and at a speed of 240 km/hour were five minutes |
| after takeoff from Portela Airport in Lisbon, Portugal when they |
| spotted a bluish white light in front of them. They immediately |
| contacted the control tower because the UFO was hovering in front of |
| them, but it then moved in another direction. The minimum distance to |
| the object was only 200 meters. The white light (reported to be blue |
| by the tower) accelerated fast to the north. The close encounter |
| lasted 45 seconds. (Sources: Phenomenes Spatiaux, December 1976, |
| p. 14; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 40; UNICAT, |
| case # 789; Charles Bowen, FSR, April 1977, p. 31 & June 1977, p. 1; |

| |
| 1979 - The witness, a military man, awoke in the middle of the night |
| in his home in Barrio La Gloria, Mendoza province, Argentina unable |
| to sleep, so he lit a cigarette and walked to the kitchen, leaving |
| his family still sleeping. He leaned on the kitchen window ledge, and |
| when he pulled the curtain aside he was surprised to see a circular |
| gray metallic object on the ground near his house. A short, |
| human-like figure appeared next to the craft. He wore a very white |
| outfit with what appeared to be a bright green visor over the eyes. |
| The witness sensed some type of telepathic message, but could not |
| recall its contents, and does not remember how the figure and the |
| object left. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
| 1979, case # 376, citing Richard Heiden, quoting R. Banchs). |
| |
| 1979 - At 7:00 p.m. four witnesses, including two 11-year-old boys |
| with the surnames Lara and Moron, had a close encounter with a |
| hovering, flashing, round red light in an empty lot in the |
| neighborhood of Lujan de Cuyo, the city of Santa Ines, Mendoza |
| province, Argentina. The object, which was emitting the flashing red |
| light from the top of the craft, was 20 meters above ground at the |
| time. After touching down on the ground, the object rose two meters |
| into the air, and then landed again. Its color changed from red to |
| white to blue. The UFO landed with a shrill sound, giving off rays of |
| blue and white light. At the landing site were found five holes, |
| three centimeters in diameter and two cm deep, with one of the holes |
| in the center. These imprint marks were within a 50 cm circle marked |
| on ground, which was compacted and hard.No unusual radioactivity was |
| detected, but a policeman who touched the traces had his hand swell |
| up. A general power blackout occurred in the area at the time, which |
| was associated with the UFO landing. (Sources: Jane Thomas, UFO |
| Newsclipping Service, November 1979, p. 11, citing Cronica, September |
| 24, 1979; UNICAT, case # 461, citing Daniel Moreno, UFO Press, July |
| 1983, p. 7). |
| |
| 1983 - At 9:00 p.m. 3 in a car in Tomkins Cove, Rockland County, New |
| York had a close encounter with a 40 foot in diameter, disc-shaped |
| object that was seen over some high tension lines. The UFO followed |
| their car, making a humming sound. (Source: Robert Gribble, MUFON UFO |
| Journal, December 1983, p. 4). |
| |
| 1986 - At 1:10 a.m. a seven-meter in diameter, bowl-shaped disc |
| landed on the road on 5 thin legs in Fredensborg, Denmark. A tube of |
| light extended from the object, then was retracted. (Source: |
| Scandanavian UFO Information News, issue 11; Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case # 14458). |
| |
| 1990 - An observation by a couple and their two children of an ovoid |
| form of milky white color at the top of some trees, around 9:45 p.m. |
| in Thann, Haut-Rhin department, France. (Source: GEIPAN, case # 67). |
| |
| 1990 - Gulf Breeze, Florida. Two witnesses at 9:30 a.m. watched a |
| large red light that flew toward the west, stopped and hovered, |
| ejected 6-8 red lights, and then switched off. This was followed with |
| a loud boom. (Source: Donald Ware, MUFON UFO Journal, March 1992, |
| p. 17). |
| |
| 1992 - An armless, neckless black entity was seen in Jarradale, |
| Western Australia one this day at around noon. A man and his son were |
| out hunting for firewood, and were using a disused track into the |
| bush, when the boy noticed a movement nearby and told his father. |
| They then saw the tall, jet-black figure watching them from behind |
| some trees. The figure ducked down, then bounded away into the bush |
| in two great strides. The entity had no arms and on either side of |
| its head it had two white patches where the eyes might have been. It |
| did not have a neck and was estimated to have been 3 ½ meters tall, |
| or almost nine feet. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, 1992 Humanoid |
| Sighting Reports database, case # 924, citing Keith Basterfield; |
| Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 15835). |
| |
| 1995 - At 5:57 a.m. a round object with a vertical ring |
| (Saturn-shaped) was sighted at Stanford University in Palo Alto, |
| California. It moved from east to west, flying on its edge. (Sources: |
| Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle; Larry Hatch, |
| U computer database, case # 17435). |
| |
| 1995 - Several bell-shaped objects were sighted near the airport in |
| Johnson City, Tennessee on this evening at 10:46 p.m. Beams of light |
| were directed toward the ground. The UFOs hovered and maneuvered; a |
| complex event. (Sources: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 17434). |

| 1995 - The occurrence of anomalous radar echoes in the Central |
| European surveillance area happened on this date. |
| |
| 1997 - A bronze, metallic, rectangular object with a narrow head and |
| a small, fan-shaped horizontal tail was sighted in Orland Park, Cook |
| County, Illinois at 5:40 a.m. It moved slowly, and made no sound. It |
| had two rows of 8-12 lights; one row was red and the other one was |
| blue. The tail also had a smaller row of penpendicular lights. |
| (Sources:Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, |

| 2000 - In Sherman Oaks, California at 9:30 a.m. a white object, |
| shaped like the number "8", rose vertically very quickly across a |
| great distance, and then disappeared. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
| National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, September 2000 webpage). |
| |
| 2001 - A huge, silvery, flying triangle went east at high speed in |
| Woodward, Oklahoma at 9:38 a.m. It then stopped in midair without |
| slowing and went invisible for two seconds. Next, it sped off to the |
| west, stopped again, and then dropped straight down. Three loud sonic |
| booms, followed by a roaring sound, were heard. The entire sighting |
| lasted five minutes. (Source: George Filer, MUFON UFO Journal, |
| November 2001, p. 14). |
| |

| object. The incident lasted 90 minutes. Earlier that day a large |
| silver, cigar-shaped object was seen moving rapidly through the |
| daytime sky over Waynesburg and Canton, Ohio from the northeast to |
| the southwest. These corroborating reports both occurred at 4:35 p.m. |
| (Source: (1) Geoff Dittman, 2004 Canadian UFO Survey, case # 692; |
