|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |

|  December 8 |
| |
| 1957 At 5:15 p.m. three U.S. military witnesses in Morocco, driving |
| in the desert between Tiflet and Monor, sighted an elongated aerial |
| object. It ascended into the sky, descended, then made a second |
| ascent. Large and distant, the object shot off toward the south. This |
| case is listed in the Project Blue Book files as case number 61 for |
| the month of December, but is considered "explained" by the US Air |
| Force as contrails. (Source: U.S. Air Force Project Blue Book files |
| counted in official statistics). |
| |
| 1957 Later that day in Svea, Minnesota at four oclock in the |
| afternoon, a ten-meter diameter red disc roared through the sky, |
| flying at only six meters above the ground. It was seen by many |
| witnesses at it lit up the ground, moved through some woods, and then |
| climbed into the sky, shooting away toward the west. (Source: |
| newspaper clippings, December 12, 1957). |
| |
| 1957 At the same time in Bonanza, Oregon two people claimed to have |
| seen a luminous disc hovering over some hills at six kilometers |
| altitude. It suddenly shot away toward the southwest at 800 |
| kilometers per hour. (Source: Loren E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of |
| the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History: December 1957, p.26). |
| |
| 1957 At 5:30 p.m. near Woodward, Oklahoma Mr. and Mrs. Martin were |
| driving through some woods with their child and were nearing a hill |
| when a domed, disc-shaped UFO flew nearby and temporarily took |
| control of their car. The UFO was described as about 16 meters in |
| diameter with portholes around the rim. The electrical system of |
| their 1954 Dodge Coronet failed when the UFO approached. They felt a |
| hot blast of air and heard a high pitched sound at the same time. The |
| car restarted by itself when the UFO flew away. (Sources: J. Allen |
| Hynek investigation files; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving |
| Vehicle Interference, case 86). |
| |
| 1957 At nine oclock in the evening the engine and headlights of |
| two cars traveling between Coulee City and Soap Lake, Washington died |
| when a huge, fiery UFO flew overhead from north to south. Strangely, |
| the dome lights came on inside both cars during the engine and |
| headlight failures, even though they weren't turned on. The cars |
| remained stalled until the object had passed out of sight. There were |
| eight witnesses. (Sources: Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 75; |
| Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 87, |
| citing Schopick). |
| |
| 1965 - In 1965 in Beckington, Wiltshire, England a phantom automobile, |
| shaped like a Land Rover but without wheels, passed the witnesss |
| car. It made a whining noise, then vanished. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| database, case #7027). |
| |
| 1966 - At 6:30 a.m. Charles Hern and his wife were walking their dog |
| in Cheshire, Ohio when they noticed a red light on the opposite bank |
| of Kyger Creek. Several short men could be seen moving about. Two |
| other witnesses joined them, and then red and orange lights began |
| flashing on and off. A beam of light seemed to be constantly directed |
| at the water. Finally the lights went out and a bright greenish light |
| came on. Then the craft shot up into the air and disappeared into the |
| sky. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, November-December 1966, p. 10; David F. |
| Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| A0767; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1966, case # |
| 1398, citing John Keel, The Mothman Prophecies, p. 83). |
| |
| 1975 In Tranmere, South Australia a mother and daughter heard a |
| strange noise at 2:45 a.m. The next morning they discovered that |
| something had apparently landed on and crushed some of their |
| strawberry plants. They found two 0.9-meter diameter areas in which |
| the plants were flattened and swirled in a counter-clockwise |
| direction. (Source: Richard Hall, MUFON UFO Journal, September 1976, |
| p. 19) |
| |
| 1975 A photograph of a metallic, domed disc was taken at two |
| oclock in the afternoon by a man in Nagoya, Japan. (Source: Wendell |
| Stevens and Paul Dong, UFOs over Modern China, p. 319). |
| |
| 1975 At 5:30 p.m. in Palais-sur-Vienne, France a huge ball of light |
| was seen hovering by some high tension electrical power lines. The |
| light vanished after several seconds. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| January 1976). |
| |
| 1975 In a pasture in Cascade County near Simms, Montana nocturnal |
| lights were seen to have landed near the carcass of a dead calf two |
| nights in a row. On this, the second night, the calfs carcass was |
| later found mutilated. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Messengers of |
| Deception, p. 183). |
| |
| 1975 On this night in the Siskiyou Mountains of California five |
| young men witnessed a greenish cloud-shaped object slide over a cut |
| in a mountain low over the tops of tree stumps in a clear cut area. |
| Inside the greenish glow they could see the outline of a man. |

| Examiner & Chronicle, April 4, 1976). |
| |
| 1978 - In 1978 a seven-meter diameter domed disc hovered over a road in |
| Portegrandi, Italy at 1:30 a.m. It had four windows on its side and |
| emitted rays of light. At 2:45 a.m. on a road in Catanzaro, Italy |
| three policemen saw a luminous domed object tilt over the roadway. It |
| shot away from them when they hit it with a spotlight. Later that |
| evening at 11:30 p.m. two young men were walking along a mountainside |
| path in Milanere, Torino, Italy when they sighted a bluish white |
| light among the trees. One of the men approached the pear-shaped |
| light and he suddenly vanished. The bright light then took off into |
| the sky. The other man went for help and a rescue party searched for |
| the missing man. He was found unconscious, cold, and weak. He had |
| been missing for thirty minutes. Light bothered his eyes, and a scar |
| was found on his leg. All that he could remember was seeing three to |
| four figures with large pumpkin shaped heads standing in front of the |
| light. He was paralyzed, and vaguely remembered odd lights and sounds |
| and the feeling of being touched. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| issues 212, 214; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, |
| case # 137, citing Paolo Fiorino, UFO Universe, October-November |
| 1991). |
| |
| 1981 - In 1981 an enormous UFO shaped like an orange ball, and estimated to |
| be 750 feet in length, made a number of turns in the sky south of |
| Reserve, New Mexico at 7:30 p.m. and then executed a ninety-degree |
| turn near Luna Mountain. The five witnesses said they saw a jet |
| aircraft chase the UFO out of sight. (Source: International UFO |
| Reporter, June 1982, p. 15). |
| |
| 1989 - At 4:30 a.m. a security guard name Arias was patrolling the |
| Colonial Palms shopping mall in Miami, Florida just south of the city |
| when he encountered three very tall beings standing in the parking |
| lot area. The humanoids were described as being at least seven feet, |
| five inches tall, thin, with large heads and huge cat-like eyes. The |
| guard ran to the closest payphone and dialed the emergency number. A |
| police unit was dispatched but a search of the immediate vicinity |
| failed to find anything. (Sources: Timothy Good, The UFO Report 1991, |
| p. 234; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1989, case # |
| 447, citing Miami Herald). |
| |
| 1989 - In 1989 a number of nocturnal lights were seen over the city of San |
| Diego, California for about 30 minutes. One UFO buzzed a pickup |
| truck. The witnesses said it had an octagon shape with a V-shape at |
| the rear edge of the object. (Source: Timothy Good, The UFO Report |
| 1991, p. 235). |
| |
| 1999 According to UFO Magazine published in England, a 15-meter by |
| 6-meter crater was found near a dam in Guyra, New South Wales, |
| Australia. Apparently a mysterious flying object struck the dam at a |
| 45-degree angle and then skidded before sinking into the mud. The |
| police in the area set up a one-mile wide exclusion zone. (Source: |
| UFO Magazine (UK), May 2000, p. 70). |
| |
| 1999 On this same day at 7:45 in the morning, an executive in |
| Mexico City, Mexico videotaped an oval-shaped UFO with the telescopic |
| zoom lens of his video camera. The object reflected the morning |
| sunlight, and after four minutes it emitted a bright beam of light |
| from its center. The color of the light changed from yellow to red to |
| white. (Source: George A. Filer, MUFON UFO Journal, January 2000, |
| p.19, citing J. Rense). |
