|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  March 26 |
| |
| 1880 - Lamy, New Mexico - Four men walking near Galisteo Junction in |
| the evening were surprised as they heard voices coming from a |
| "strange balloon," which flew over them. It was shaped like a fish |
| and seemed to be guided by a large fanlike device. There were eight |
| to ten figures aboard. Their language was not understood. The object |
| flew low over Galisteo Junction and rose rapidly toward the east. |

| p. 180, citing Flying Saucer Review, May 1961; Santa Fe New Mexican, |
| March 27, 1880). |
| |
| 1897 - On or about this date Robert Hibbard in Sioux City, Iowa was |
| caught by an anchor dropped from an unknown flying machine 22 km |
| north of the town. He was dragged over 10 meters and fell as his |
| clothes were torn. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, pp. 140 & 182, case 11). |
| |
| 1945 - On this evening several lights followed a night fighter |
| aircraft from the 549th NFS squadron over Iwo Jima, Japan, made a few |
| turns, and had slight radar returns. (Source: Jan Aldrich, Project |
| 1947, citing the 549th NFS History). |
| |
| 1945 - In the Ruhr Valley, Germany a pink sphere (3' in diameter) |
| passed a RAF Spitfire XI fighter from the 541th Squadron at 340 mph |
| at 11:00 a.m. (Source: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, |
| p. 7, citing Jan Aldrich, Project 1947). |
| |
| 1950 - Several discs were seen from a Lebanese airliner off the coast |
| of the ancient city of Acre (now Akko), Israel. They were travelling |
| north and flying at a high altitude while emitting trails of smoke. |
| At 11:15 a.m. five disc-shaped UFOs were seen, first three, then |
| another two, flying over Bruswick, Georgia. They were silver in |
| color, and flew at 30,000 feet altitude at a speed greater than 1,800 |
| mph. (Sources: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 12). |
| |
| 1966 - Jean Voilquin, age 54, saw a strange looking "wheel" roll 15 |
| meters away from him in Attigneville, France. It moved at a speed of |
| about 30 kilometers per hour. It was about 80 centimeters in |
| diameter, 25 cm thick; it rolled away at 1:30 p.m. and then vanished. |
| (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| p. 182 case 737). |
| |
| 1966 - Engineers and technicians in Ann Arbor, Michigan watched a |
| glowing red disc-shaped object maneuver around the sky, descend, and |
| then fly parallel with the road for several minutes. (Sources: NICAP |
| UFO Investigator, April 1966, p. 4; Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 319). |
| |
| 1966 - On the same night a 13-year-old boy named C. Cozens saw two |
| white oval UFOs land in a field behind the police station in |
| Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He walked up to them and touched one. When |
| he touched the antenna he received a strong electric shock, and burns |
| on the hand. Investigators rated his story as reliable. (Sources: |
| Hamilton Spectator, April 4, 1966; Erich A. Aggen, Jr., Flying |
| Saucers, October 1969, p. 5; T. Scott Crain, Flying Saucers, June |
| 1971, p. 8). |
| |
| 1966 - Two women were driving back from Amarillo, Texas at just |
| before midnight when they saw a UFO approaching them from the north. |
| Their car engine died and the headlights failed. The object flew over |
| the car and hovered 400 meters away. After 10 minutes the witnesses |
| were able to start their car and leave. They reported the object had |
| a waffle-like surface and glowed with an intense red light. (Source: |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 182 |
| case 738). |
| |
| 1967 - The Bailey and Lore families had observed UFOs in the area of |
| their homes in Minitare, Nebraska on several occasions. On the |
| evening of March 26 at around 7:30 p.m., Robert Lore and Cecil Bailey |
| drove north of their farms to look for lights that looked like they |
| had landed on an isolated section of farmland. The two men drove past |
| a man in white coveralls standing alone by the side of the road. |
| Their dog was riding in the car, and it "really kicked up a fuss" and |
| appeared to be terrified. When the men got home the lights were once |
| more visible in the sky. One particular bright light was strong |
| enough to light up the hill behind it. When they returned to the site |
| where they had seen the stranger the next day, they found numerous |
| nearly rectangular footprints, some of them 9.75 inches long and |
| others 8.5 incheslong. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-26, citing Richard Hall; |
| Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, |
| p. 334). |
| |
| 1967 - At 9:45 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. John Dick and Mrs. W. Buhr were |
| driving toward Gretna, Manitoba, Canada. They saw a very bright |
| object at ground level near three radio towers situated 3.5 |
| kilometers south of Altona, Manitoba, illuminating the countryside |
| with a pink glow. The object itself was dark with a luminous band |
| around it, was motionless, and pulsated. It disappeared very |
| suddenly. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, case 829, citing the Altona Echo, April 19, 1967). |
| |
| 1972 - A car engine stalled at 5:30 a.m. when three red UFOs came |
| down in a field between Dargies and Grandvilliers, Oise, France. It |
| vanished when the car's headlights lit upon it. (Source: Michel |
| Figuet & Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le Premier Dossier Complet des |
| Rencontres Rapprochees en France, p. 383). |
| |
| 1974 - A truck driver was driving in Valdehijaderos, Spain at 2:00 |
| a.m. when he spotted a strange luminous object like a plate placed |
| above another large, round object hovering motionless over the |
| highway about 200 meters from the him. A similar object, also |
| motionless, was seen 15-20 meters away. Two beings came out of the |
| first vehicle, pointed to the observer's truck, then went inside |
| again, and both vehicles flew away. At 11:30 p.m. the same witness |
| witnessed "three silver ships parked on the highway with light |
| similar to floodlight." The observer stopped the motor of his car and |
| some figures approached him. He ran, frightened, and they followed |
| him. They were about two meters tall (6.5 feet). The next day the |
| Guardia Civil made an investigation. They found a hole in the ground, |
| which the truck driver said he had not made. (Source: Richard H. |
| Hall,  The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 346). |
| |
| 1974 - At 8:00 a.m. a witness driving near Pouldergat, Finistere, |
| France saw a hemispheric dome-shaped following the road. Next a long, |
| half-cylinder shaped object was seen hovering over an intersection. |
| At 9:00 p.m. another hemispheric dome-shaped object was sighted by |
| three witnesses in Pleuville, Charente, France. It was luminous and |
| had two rays of light coming from it. It flew at a low altitude of |
| under 10 meters, and was estimated to be 4-5 meters in diameter. |

| Phenomene, p. 77; (2) Lumieres dans la Nuit, June 1976, p. 20; Michel |
| Figuet & Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le Premier Dossier Complet des |
| Rencontres Rapprochees en France, p. 480). |
| |
| 1983 - On this evening two witnesses driving in Careme, Tarn-Garonne, |
| France encountered sudden fog, and then a huge disc-shaped UFO. Their |
| car turned unaccountably onto an unknown dirt road, and they had a |
| possible missing time experience. The entire experience lasted 50 |
| minutes. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 317). |
| |
| 1993 - A 20-year-old woman was standing on her back porch in Roslyn |
| Estates, Nassau County, New York when a silent, multicolored domed |
| disc "glided over the house" at an estimated 150 feet altitude. She |
| first thought it was a low flying plane, but dismissed that idea |
| because of the shape of the object. The dome on the disc was as tall |
| as the width of the object. The object was covered in bright white |
| flashing lights. Jets soon showed up, apparently to chase the object. |
| (Source: Herbert S. Taylor, MUFON field investigations database, case |
| 930402J; MUFON UFO Journal, February 1994). |
| |
| 1994 - Two silver disc-shaped objects danced around in the sky over |
| Earl Shilton, Leicester, England at 4:00 p.m. They made a |
| high-pitched whistling sound. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, |
| August 1994). |
| |
| 2000 - Two witnesses observed a triangular object that crossed the |
| sky over Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at steady pace and a high altitude |
| at 10:45 p.m. Its shape was defined by a number of grayish-white, |
| non-blinking lights. It flew to the northeast, and made no sound. |
| According to one witness “the object had to be huge” since it was |
| very high up, but could clearly be seen as it blocked out a portion |
| of the clear sky as it moved. (Source: Stan Gordon, Pennsylvania |
| Center for UFO Research, www.stangordonufo.com). |
| |
| 2001 - At 7:20 a.m. there was a UFO sighting of a flying disc in |
| Cochabamba, Bolivia. The local TV stations had close up photos. At |
| 7:30 a.m. a huge, brilliant metallic sphere or disc-shaped object |
| paced a T-33 trainer with a military pilot at a distance while in |
| flight over La Paz, Bolivia. (Sources: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 18162, |
| citing Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 61). |
| |
| 2001 - At 9:35 p.m. EDT a very large, multicolored triangular object |
| with two very bright lights on the front and a reddish looking light |
| on the bottom center was seen over Durham, North Carolina. An |
| extremely large cigar-shaped craft with two flashing lights on each |
| end, which the witness estimated to be at least 200 yards long, was |
| sighted over Valentine, Nebraska at 9:00 p.m. CDT (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, report uploaded |
| April 1, 2001). |
| |
| 2002 - A pharmaceutical products salesman was returning along a |
| desrted road around 3 p.m. in Cazalla de la Sierra, Spain when he |
| noticed an object resembling a shiny pear ahead in the middle of the |
| roadway. It was resting on three metallic legs. Somewhat perplexed, |
| he continued to drive closer, and then notice two very tall humanoid |
| beings standing in a nearby field. They were over two meters tall, |
| and wore tight-fitting, white coveralls and helmets resembling those |
| worn by the early astronauts. |
| |
| He parked his vehicle and approached the two strange figures on foot. |
| One of the men walked away and entered the pear-shaped craft, while |
| the other remained behind. Knowing that these men were "not from this |
| Earth", he still asked the remaining humanoid if he needed any |
| assistance. He felt when he approached the strange pair he had |
| entered some kind of a trance, and he seemed to be floating over the |
| road. The being replied and appeared to be genuinely pleased with his |
| offer of assistance, but said that everything was in order. He said |
| that the area was very beautiful and also added, "Humans don't know |
| what they have. Where we come from we don't have such beautiful |
| scenes; they disappeared a long time ago." |
| |
| The astounded witness next managed to ask the being where he came |
| from. He was told that they hailed from another dimension, a concept |
| that humans have not yet assimilated. The humanoid smiled when he |
| answered the question. The being then bid goodbye and walked towards |
| the nearby shiny pear-shaped object; he then disappeared inside of |
| it. Then the craft emitted a loud whisting sound and disappeared at |
| very high speed towards some nearby cliffs. The witness described the |
| humanoids as about 2.5 meters in height, with wide chests and heavy |
| set, thin legs, generally human features, but with somewhat "refined" |
| or sharpened features. Their suits were very tight fitting, and made |
| of an apparent synthetic material resembling plastic. They eyes were |
| very light, almost white, and their speed was hesitant and accented. |
| Also, their movements seemed kind of clumsy. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database Reports, citing J. M. Garcia and |
| Francisco Padron, Spain). |
| |
| 2003 - A wobbling silver triangular craft was seen in Carlsbad, |
| California at 2:00 p.m. for half a minute, with a bright light in |
| broad daylight. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle, March 2003 webpage archive). |
| |
| 2004 - An object like a "dinner plate" with a dome on the bottom was |
| sighted in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada at 4:22 a.m. It flew |
| slowly, and stopped at one point. The sighting lasted 15 minutes. At |
| 7:50 p.m. two rapid moving almond-shaped discs initially flew in from |
| the Gulf of Mexico heading east toward Brandenton, Florida and then |
| turned sharply south. They moved very fast. (Sources: (1) Geoff |
