|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  January 5 |
| |
| 1954 - In Tooma, New South Wales, Australia three bright orbs moved |
| very fast through the sky to the west at noon, orbited one another, |
| then turned to the south in a line. (Source: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A |
| History. 1954: January-May, p. 9). |

| |
| 1954 - Mr. Chesneau, a fireman, saw a round luminous object slowly |
| descend toward the Marignane Airport, France at 9:00 p.m. He went |
| inside and called the control tower to report it. When he came |
| outside again, the object had gone. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport |
| to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 123, citing Jimmy Guieu). |

| History. 1954: January-May, p. 12). |
| |
| 1955 - A red circular object three meters in diameter was observed to |
| land and take off again in San Sebastian, Spain. Three independent |
| witnesses saw the object come to ground. They described it as a very |
| bright red globe 2.5 meters in diameter, which they thought was made |
| of a metallic material. When one witness approached to within 100 |
| meters, the object took off. The principal witness was a 23-year-old |
| man named Galarraga. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, p. 248; Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue |
| of 200 Type-I UFO Events in Spain and Portugal, case 18; UNICAT |
| database, case 565, citing Stendek). |
| |
| 1956 - At midday two soldiers at Fort Wood, Missouri saw a big silver |
| balloon like object fly by slowly. No balloons were scheduled for |
| release in the area at that time. The object rotated, then vanished. |

| |
| 1958 - At around 4 p.m. a silver gray disc followed two witnesses in |
| their car along the side of road in Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, |
| South Africa at low altitude. It then abruptly shot off into the sky. |
| Later that same evening in Beachwood, Ohio three nocturnal lights |
| traced a perfect triangular path in the sky. (Sources: (1) Cynthia |

| |
| 1965 - At 5:56 p.m. an aerospace engineer named Bruton on Wallops |
| Island, Virginia watched a round glowing object that moved rapidly |
| from horizon to nearly overhead at the NASA station in seconds. Radar |
| tracked it at 6,000 mph. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, April |

| |
| 1966 - Violet Bricker was driving two miles north of La Harpe, |
| Illinois on Rte. 94 at 8:15 a.m. when she observed a light flash that |
| she first believed was an approaching plane. As it neared she saw it |
| was more dirigible-shaped and closed rapidly on a collision course |
| with her. It stopped and hovered over the telephone lines opposite |
| her car. It was ovoid shaped and made no sound, and was about as long |
| as a Piper Club. It had a single bright yellow-white light on the end |
| facing her. There were no doors, ports, or landing gear visible, but |
| a lateral line like a seam encircled the UFO. It began revolving in a |
| clockwise motion on its axis, bringing the other end in view and |
| exposing a two-foot platform on which stood a "man" wearing a bulky, |
| white, one-piece suit. He was about five and one half feet tall, |
| stocky build, and he stood with his left hand against the object and |
| his right hand on his hip, staring directly down on the witness. His |
| face had a ruddy complexion and his eyes were dark, but he looked |
| entirely normal otherwise. The object drifted about on its axis and |
| the man was lost from view. Ms. Bricker was so taken aback by the |
| experience she could not recall if she actually stopped her car or |
| not. She recalled seeing a man and a woman on foot not 20 feet away |
| to whom she signaled frantically to catch their attention, but to no |
| avail. (Sources: Robert Smulling, Skylook, August 1970, p. 19; David |
| F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1966-01 (A0691); Francis L. Ridge, Regional Encounters, p. 20). |
| |
| 1967 - At 4:00 a.m. a 32-year-old man was driving to work in Winsted, |
| Minnesota in his 1964 Chevy truck when he had to get out and inspect |
| his vehicle when the engine stalled. Only then did he observe an |
| intense light to his right, coming closer. He saw it land on the road |
| and locked himself inside the cab of his truck. The craft settled on |
| a tripod landing gear; it measured 25 meters in diameter and was 10 |
| meters high. Something similar to an elevator came down from it, and |
| a man dressed in blue coveralls "with something like a glass fish |
| bowl on his head," of medium height, seemed to check something and |
| then left. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, case 809). |
| |
| 1967 - At 5:40 p.m. four observers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania |
| watched a disc-shaped object for 45 minutes as it buzzed, circled, |
| and flipped over several times, then shot off to the south. A |
| box-shaped object was then seen flying north. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case # 7424; NICAP UFO Investigator, February |
| 1967, p. 4). |
| |
| 1967 - On or about this date six witnesses from three families |
| driving on Highway 55 two miles east of Farwell, Minnesota had their |
| car engine falter when several tiny lights passed their windshield. |
| The car functions alright after the lights had departed. (Source: |
| APRO Bulletin, May-June 1967, p. 5; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports |
| Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 31). |
| |
| 1968 - On this night six observers with binoculars in Nelson, British |
| Columbia, Canada watched four saucers hover over a radio tower. They |
| had flames coming from the top and flat bottoms. (Source: Brad |
| Steiger & Joan Whritenour, Flying Saucer Invasion, p. 95). |
| |
| 1968 - An very bright, yellowish orange, disc-shaped UFO landed at a |
| remote distance from two men, Sr. Massague and Sr. Aguade, in the |
| Torrellas de las Foix mountains, Barcelona, Spain at 8:15 a.m. It was |
| ten meters in diameter, and estimated to be about 3500 meters away. |
| (Source: Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO |
| Events in Spain and Portugal, case 54, citing CEI). |
| |
| 1969 - At four o'clock in the morning a glowing object rose to the |
| surface and floated on the ocean off the coast of Vina del Mar, |
| Valparaiso, Chile. The surface of the sea boiled and there was an |
| odor of sulphur in the air. At 9:00 p.m. in Port Alegre, Rio Grande |
| do Sul state, Brazil soldiers at the Vila Floresta watched a hovering |
| fireball that shot a fiery beam when it began moving. At 11:45 p.m. |
| on the highway between Campos and Itaparuna, Rio de Janeiro state, |
| Brazil a single witness stopped his car to watch a metallic domed |
| ovoid-shaped object hovering over a nearby hilltop. The dome on the |
| object glowed a purple color. (Sources: (1) Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| issue 118; (2) Walter Buhler, FSR Case Histories, June 1971, p. 9; |
| (3) UFO Nachtrichten, February 1973, citing a newspaper source). |
| |
| 1970 - Between 7:00 p.m. and 8:30 the sky and the village of |
| Montigne, Charente, France were lit by and odd luminesence. At 9:00 |
| p.m. a red disc-shaped object was seen flying at a very low altitude. |
| The witnesses were 19-year-old Mr. Aubineau, 21-year-old Mr. Mijon, |
| his son and two other children. (Source: Michel Figuet & Jean-Louis |
| Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des rencontres rapprochees |
| en France, p. 336). |
| |
| 1971 - A car driving between Penrith and Windsor, New South Wales, |
| Australia was paced by a one-meter ball of light  for 13 minutes. It |
| flew away when the car stopped. (Sources: Bill Chalker, FSR, |
| September-October 1973, p. 21; Robert Gribble, MUFON UFO Journal, |
| January 1991,  p. 20). |

| zigzagging in the sky. It vanished at 8:45 p.m. (Source: Ion Hobana & |
| Julien Weverbergh, UFOs from Behind the Iron Curtain, p. 271).  |
| |
| 1972 - While snowmobiling in East Kingston, New Hampshire five |
| witnesses came upon an object close to some railroad tracks at 10:45 |
| p.m. It glowed yellow, hovered 10 feet above the tracks, 300 feet |
| away. It rose vertically, then descended behind some trees. (Source: |
| Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 341 & 358). |
| |
| 1974 - At 6:00 p.m. a motorist watched a nine meter in diameter domed |
| disc-shaped object fly to the west over the reservoir in Rambouillet, |
| Yvelines department, France. It directed a beam of light down on the |
| water. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, June 1975). |
| |
| 1974 -  At 4:25 a.m. two police officers, Abbington and Regot, in a |
| patrol car in St. Charles, Missouri followed an oblong UFO with two |
| white rectangular lights and a rotating red light in the center. The |
| object moved directly toward police at one point, and made a hissing |
| sound like escaping steam. (Sources: George D. Fawcett, Saga UFO |
| Report, April 1975, p. 50; John F. Schuessler, Skylook, February |
| 1974, p. 16). |
| |
| 1974 - At 9:00 p.m. a disc-shaped object paced a car with six |
| witnesses north of Glenham, North Dakota causing electrical system |
| interference. The UFO followed the witnesses home. Small windows were |
| seen through binoculars. (Source: Robert Emenegger, UFOs: Past, |
| Present and Future, p. 128). |
| |
| 1975 - Carlos A. Diaz was walking home from the bus after a late |
| night at 3:30 a.m. in Puerto Ingeniero, a town outside Bahia Blanca, |
| Buenos Aires, Argentina when he saw a blindingly bright that emitted |
| a bent beam of light and found himself paralyzed. He then heard a |
| humming noise and was levitated off the ground. He fainted, and when |
| he came to he was inside a spherical room about 8 feet in diameter |
| with luminous walls. Three beings, about 5' 9" tall, entered the |
| sphere. Their heads were half the size of human heads, shaped |
| like smooth green knobs, with small noses and small ears, and |
| were completely devoid of hair. They were dressed in pale cream |
| colored "rubber" suits that covered their entire bodies up to their |
| necks. Although their arms terminated in fingerless stumps, they were |
| nevertheless able to pull out large clumps of Diaz's, but this caused |
| him no pain. They even pulled out some hair from his chest. Finally |
| Diaz fainted again, and when he awoke he found himself lying beside a |
| road outside Buenos Aires. The time was 7:30 a.m. but his watch had |
| stopped at 3:50 a.m. He was nauseous the entire day, and was taken |
| to hospital. (Sources: Pedro Romaniuk, FSR, November 1975, p. 39; |
| David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, |
| case 1975-01 (A1381), citing Pedro Romaniuk & Jorge R. Martinez; |
| Richard F. Haines, CE-5: Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, p. 227). |
| |
| 1975 - At 2:30 p.m. 15-year-old David Mahon was in his backyard in |
| Brownstown, Illinois photographing his dog when he heard a loud |
| droning noise and saw a black disc-shaped object passing overhead. He |
| took five photographs, then felt himself being levitated upward and |
| he lost consciousness. He recovered conciousness in a small cubicle |
| only five feet in diameter. There was a row of blinking orange lights |
| that encircled the room at waist height. He remembered being in this |
| compartment for less than a minute. He then fainted again |
| and recovered consciousness near his home. His father told him that |
| he had been gone for nearly an hour. The photographs of the UFO were |
| overexposed and out of focus. There were two other witnesses who |
| briefly witnessed the flying disc in Brownstown. (Source: Eileen |
| Sperber, 1975 letter to CUFOS; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1975-02 (A1382); Vandalia (IL) |
| Leader-Union, February 4, 1976). |
| |
| 1975 - At 4:50 p.m. three witnesses in separate cars observed a very |
| large (88 meters in diameter) disc-shaped object hovering near a |
| water tank north of Wakefield, Rhode Island. There was a red glow |
| coming from the windows in the craft. It faded from view after four |
| minutes. (Source: Donald R. Todd, APRO Bulletin, January-February |
| 1975, p. 5).  |
| |
| 1975 - At 6:55 p.m. in Laulne pres de Lessay, Manche department, |
| France a domed disc-shaped craft 15 meters long with portholes, took |
| off from a landing on  a farm. It had three legs as landing gear. The |
| principal witness was 12-year-old Yvon Vildier, but two more adult |
| witnesses named Marie LeClere and Richard (first name only) observed |
| it as a light in the sky. It left behind traces on the ground and a |
| petroleum odor. The ground marks included three large landing pod |
| imprints, irregularly spaced in a triangle 1 m x 1.6 m x 2.5 m, and |
| three small center clustered imprints. The entire event from first |
| observing a luminous phenomenon in the area to the disappearance of |
| the craft lasted 20 minutes. (Sources: Roland Godefroy, Phenomenes |
| Spatiaux, March 1975, p. 9; Michel Figuet & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: |
| Le Premier Dossier Complet des Rencontres Rapprochees en France, p. |
| 530).  |
| |
| 1976 - At 5:50 p.m. Jean Claude Silvente, age 10, was walking through |
| a vacant lot overgrown with brush and surrounded by buildings in |
| Domene, Isere, France when he heard a noise, and saw that a |
| bell-shaped UFO had landed next to some bushes. It was about 30 feet |
| away from him, about 15 feet high, a luminous white color, and |
| resting on five thin legs. A door in the craft opened and a very tall |
| man, at least two meters tall, emerged. He wore tight, white luminous |
| coveralls and had long blond hair. On the back of each hand was a |
| green circle. He walked stiffly with his arms extended in front of |
| him, in the manner of a sleepwalker. When the boy sneezed, this |
| “giant” turned toward him, and Jean Claude ran home. A short while |
| later he was sent out by his mother to get some milk, and while |
| returning home he saw the same being again. It was following him on |
| the sidewalk 80 feet behind, still with its arms held out stiffly in |
| front of him. Jean Claude ran home. Note: An almost identical |
| humanoid was seen in Chamouilley, France in October of that same |
| year. It had similar features, was tall and had blond hair, and it |
| also walked in the manner of a sleepwalker with one slight |
| difference, it appeared to be wearing tight-fitting goggles. |

| |
| 1977 - Two separate truck drivers in Nysater, Varmland, Sweden had a |
| close encounter at 1:15 a.m. with a disc-shaped object on Highway 18. |
| The saucer was just above the roadway, with five legs extended as |
| landing gear. Both of the observers were paralyzed and frozen in |
| place for five minutes, 150 meters away from the craft. The UFO |
| emitted a solid coherent light beam. (Sources: Bertil Soderquist, |
| MUFON UFO Journal, January 1978, p. 18; Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, p. 270). |
| |
| 1977 - At 2:30 a.m. EST in Napanee, Ontario, Canada three police |
| officers watched a bright object hovering over the Lennox Hydro |
| Electric Power Station. A red NL nocturnal light bounced up and down |
| for 10 minutes. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # |
| 11901; MUFON UFO Journal, issue # 118). |
| |
| 1977 - At 4:10 a.m. a 30 foot in diameter domed disc was seen over |
| power lines near the town of Bednesti, 20 miles west of Prince |
| George, British Columbia, Canada on Highway 16. A beam of energy |
| struck two witnesses in separate cars, and both experienced 20 |
| minutes of missing time. (Source: Michael Sinclair, APRO Bulletin, |
| March 1977, p. 1; Joseph Kovacs, report to CUFOS, January 14, 1977). |
| |
| 1977 - At 8:00 a.m. two teenagers in Wrexham, Wales took photographs |
| of four disc-shaped objects flying in a procession of objects. Their |
| clear photos were analyzed and pronounced as genuine by the Kodak |
| film company. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # |
| 11903; Warrington, UFOs: a British Perspective, p. 89). |
| |
| 1977 - At 8:00 p.m. a gray, 15 meter disc-shaped object hovered |
| silently at 25 meters altitude near Eriswell, Suffolk, England for 20 |
| minutes, 100 meters away. It then shot up into the sky and flew away. |
| There were two witnesses and a dog present. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case # 11906). |
| |
| 1979 -  Two members of the Quezet family in Mindalore, Gauteng |
| province, South Africa experienced a 20 minute episode of missing |
| time in the pre-dawn hours when they had a close encounter with an |
| ovoid object that made a buzzing sound. Meagan Quezet and her 12-year |
| old son Andre were out looking for their dog shortly after |
| midnight after they heard it barking. Soon they noticed a peculiar |
| pink glow beyond a tarmac road. Thinking that it was a police car, |
| they approached the area. As they reached the glow they noticed that |
| it came from a peculiar egg-shaped craft resting on the ground on |
| several thin leg-like protrusions. The intense pink glow emanated |
| from the top of the craft. Suddenly5 or 6 men jumped to the ground |
| from an opening in the craft. One walked to the far end of the |
| object, two remained standing in front of it, and two others |
| approached the witnesses. The men appeared to speak among themselves |
| in a loud "sing-song" unintelligible language; two kneeled down and |
| appeared to touch the asphalt. All the men wore tight-fitting white |
| suits; all but two had hoods that covered most of their faces. The |
| one who appeared to be the leader approached Mrs. Quezet and spoke to |
| her in a high-pitched unintelligible voice. He made a slight bow |
| towards her as if in a form of salute. He had a black beard, frizzy |
| black hair, and slanted eyes and dark olive skinned complexion. Soon |
| the men walked back to the craft and entered the object, the craft |
| then emitted a whistling sound, the thin leg-like protrusions |
| telescoped back into the craft, which then rose up and disappeared |
| into the clouds. Under hypnosis the witness recalled being taken |
| inside the object where she saw chairs, panels and a table. She was |
| asked to come with them but she refused.  (Source: Xenolog, March |
| 1979, p. 19). |
| |
| 1979 - Jean Hingley had waved goodbye to her husband as he went off |
| to work in the bitter cold morning in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, |
| England at around 7:00 a.m. Then she saw a light in the garden. |
| Thinking her husband had left the carport light on, she went out to |
| investigate, but it was still to dark, so she returned to the |
| kitchen. She put down some food for the family Alsatian dog, Hobo, |
| and called him from the garden, but he flopped down as if he had been |
| drugged and gazed at the ceiling, glassy eyed. Then, with a "zee-zee" |
| noise, three weird looking creatures flew past her into the lounge. |
| There were only three and a half feet tall, and had waxy white faces |
| and coal-black eyes with no eyebrows and very thin mouths. They wore |
| silvery uniforms, with a transparent fish-bowl type helmet over their |
| heads. They also had transparent wings, and floated. Jean was left |
| clinging to the sink, paralyzed, but she next suddenly also floated |
| towards the lounge. Jean noticed that the aliens were inspecting the |
| ornaments on their Christmas tree with interest. She said they also |
| probed her mind with telepathy, "it was like a light or an X-ray |
| penetrating." They told her telepathically that she would not be |
| harmed, and when she asked them where they were from, one of them |
| reported "we come from the sky." She then explained to them why the |
| house was all decorated, to celebrate Jesus's birthday. "We know all |
| about Jesus," they claimed. They said they would return. They also |
| claimed that "we come down here to talk to people but they don't seem |
| to be interested." Finally, when she showed them how to light a |
| cigarette, they fled in terror, taking a mince pie with them. Outside |
| in her garden was an egg-shaped object with windows. They floated |
| into it and it took off, emitting a bluish flash and pulsating twice |
| before disappearing with a flash. The dog returned to normal, and |
| Jean called the police. Her electric wall clock had stopped, and all |
| her cassette tapes were magnetized and unplayable. In the snow |
| outside where the object had sat, there was an oval outline, which |
| the local UFO group was able to photograph before the snow melted. |

| case # 440, citing Alfred Budden, Fortean Times, issue # 50; Jenny |
| Randles, Abduction). |
| |
| 1979 - In the town of Bannalec, Finistere, France a 15 meter in |
| diameter circular object hovered near the ground at around 10 p.m. |
| for three minutes. It had a blue halo, and shot away very fast. |
| (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, February 1979). |
| |
| 1979 - At 6:20 p.m. three red triangle-shaped UFOs were sighted over |
| Interstate 290 in Auburn, Massachusetts; AM and CB radios were |
| affected. There was steering loss, loss of power, and the main |
| witness's car was reportedly levitated as well. Ms. Emery felt heat, |
| paralysis, and she had a skin rash as the result of her close |
| encounter. The UFOs flew off to the northwest. Also during this |
| period of repeated sightings of low level lights and a diamond-shaped |
| object over the area, a witness reported seeing a 7-8 foot tall hairy |
| figure in a field at 11:00 p.m. near Sturbridge, Massachusetts. He |
| shone a spotlight at it and the creature ran towards him. The witness |
| fired three shots at it and then ran away, shooting one more time |
| over his shoulder. The shots appeared to have no effect on the |
| creature, but it stopped and did not pursue him further. (Sources: |

| S. Rosales, 1979 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, case addendum # |
| 741, citing CUFOS). |
| |
| 1980 - At around five a.m. the witness, a 33-year-old painter living |
| in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England suddenly awoke in his bedroom to |
| see a huge two-meter tall glowing green figure standing at the foot |
| of his bed. It looked to him more like a holographic image than a |
| solid figure. The being apparently communicated with the witness |
| using telepathy. Among the many things mentioned was that his race |
| regularly transported human beings to other planets in order to |
| colonize them. When a planet was in danger of overpopulation they |
| somehow started a war in order to reduce the number of inhabitants on |
| that planet. He also warned that the Earth was in danger of "breaking |
| in half." Apparently the witness's wife slept through the entire |
| encounter. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
| 1980, case #3423, citing Jenny Randles). |
| |
| 1980 - A light in the sky flashed and changed colors as it moved over |
| Santa Ponsa, Islas Malgrata, Baleares, Spain at 8:00 p.m. It made |
| upward jumps in an oscillating motion, and would stop cold at times. |
| Three powerful lights in a triangle pattern were higher in the sky, |
| changing color from orange to blue to white, and making left-to-right |
| moves. (Source: Richard Heiden, UFO Newsclipping Service, June 1980, |
| p. 10, citing Baleares, January 6, 1980). |
| |
| 1986 - Police and several other witnesses in Mineral Point and |
| Vermont, Wisconsin (both located in Iowa County) saw a silent |
| nocturnal light at low altitude that hovered, turned, and made other |
| maneuvers. It was covered on the local TV news. (Sources: Robert |
| Gribble, UFO Reporting Center, case 1076; Jay Rath, The W-Files: True |

| 1995 - Beginning at around 10:00 p.m. a silent, sky-blue colored |
| disc-shaped object hovered for five minutes over Errington, Nanaimo, |

| 1997 - B. C., a 57-year-old farmer living in Ille et Vilaine, |
| Chantepie, France was awakened at two a.m. by a noise like an |
| explosion and a strident whistling sound. His wife continued to |
| sleep. He got out of bed and went to the kitchen to get something to |
| eat. Suddenly he saw a bright flash of light outside. He looked out |
| the French windows of his farmhouse and saw lights in the middle of a |
| field resembling headlights. He grabbed his shotgun and went out to |
| investigate. Running toward the light, he attempted to shout a |
| warning, but oddly no sound came out of his mouth. He next was hit by |
| some invisible force field and was unable to move. He then saw two |
| small beings emerge from the luminous form. The figures looked to be |
| transparent and passed close to him, seemingly unaware of his |
| presence. The figures then walked toward the nearby barn. At the same |
| time he felt a prickling sensation and began to sweat. The small |
| beings walked by him a second time and disappeared inside the |
| luminous form. The light shot up into the sky vertically at an |
| incredible speed. B. C. was now able to move and he returned to his |
| kitchen, still sweating. When he got back to his bedroom his wife was |
| still in bed sleeping. He appeared to have experienced some missing |
| time. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1997, |

| "starfield camouflage." This was one of a series of several UFO |
| sightings by police from eight police departments and civilians |
