|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  October 29 |
| |
| 1952 - At two a.m. a white luminous object was seen by the pilots of |
| two F-94s over Hempstead, England. It maneuvered at high speed, |
| exhibiting extreme acceleration. (Source: Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying |
| Saucers from Outer Space, p. 6). |
| |
| 1952 - At 7:50 a.m. at Erding Air Depot in West Germany U.S. Air |
| Force S/Sgt. Anderson and A/2c Max Handy sighted a round flying |
| object silhouetted against a cloud. It flew straight, level and |
| smooth at an estimated speed of 400 mph for 20 seconds. (Sources: |
| Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case # 2196; |
| Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1952: November-December, p. 10; Don |
| Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1954 - At 1:30 a.m. a glowing cylindrical object was seen along the |
| roadside in Coulogne, Pas-de-Calais, France. It had a row of |
| portholes on its side, four tubes and four fins, and took off |
| vertically. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 4092, |
| citing Jean Sider, Dossier 1954 et l'Imposture Rationaliste, p. 124). |
| |
| 1954 - At 7:45 a.m. in Mesples, France a 14-year-old boy sought |
| asylum in the farmhouse owned by Mrs. Gentil, screaming that he was |
| being chased by a flying saucer. A disc three times the apparent |
| diameter of the sun, red and purple in color, and spinning rapidly, |
| was seen descending swiftly toward the ground. It then vanished. |
| There was an investigation of the incident by the local police. |
| (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| p. 240, case 321; Jimmy Guieu, Flying Saucers Come from Another |
| World, p. 232). |
| |
| 1954 - At 2:25 p.m. several workers in a field in Palagonia, Italy |
| sighted a luminous translucent disc-shaped object with two red lights |
| on top descend and then hover above them. From inside of the object |
| an unknown creature (not described) could be seen staring at the |
| workers. As the creature scrutinized them they became frightened. The |
| object suddenly descended then shot back up into the sky, emitting a |
| very loud sound as it quickly disappeared from sight. (Source: Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1954, case # 1598; Maurizio |
| Verga, ITACAT Italian UFO database). |
| |
| 1954 - At 6:00 p.m. the crew of a U. S. Air Force C-47D transport |
| plane flying over the Philippines saw a long narrow bright blue |
| oblong object emitting deep ­orange sparks from the front and rear. |
| (Sources: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 24; Jan |
| Aldrich, Project 1947 website). |
| |
| 1954 - At nine o'clock in the evening four Portuguese nationals at |
| the airport on Terciera Island in the Azores sighted a UFO shaped |
| like a stovepipe. It had a central bulge and short wings; they |
| estimated it was 10 in length, three feet in diameter, and had wings |
| three feet long. The wings of the object had concave wingtips, and it |
| was gray in color. The UFO made a gargling sound when hovering, then |
| disappeared into the glare of the airplane's landing lights. The |
| sighting lasted 4-5 minutes. (Sources: Project Blue Book files |
| counted in official statistics, case # 3287; Don Berliner, Project |
| Bluebook UFO Unknowns; Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos files, newspaper |
| clipping dated November 3, 1954). |
| |
| 1964 - At 6:10 p.m. a 100-foot-long yellow glowing cigar, tilted 15 |
| degrees upward, descended out of some low heavy clouds in Arlington, |
| Massachusetts. It had a dark area at one end, and two vertical black |
| stripes in its midsection. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, case |
| investigation files, report dated December 24, 1964; Raymond Fowler, |
| UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 331). |

| |
| 1966 - A cigar-shaped object with satellite objects was seen in |
| Rushville, Indiana for over an hour by a group of women, beginning at |
| 6:35 p.m. There were other UFO sightings by other witnesses at 7:30 |
| p.m. and 8 p.m. (Source: APRO Bulletin, November-December 1966, p. |
| 5). |
| |
| 1967 - In Santa Adelita, Sao Paolo State, Brazil Mr. P, age 51, was |
| driving home at around 11:00 p.m. when he came to the top of a ridge |
| he saw an aluminum colored object hovering 200 feet away, just four |
| feet above the ground.  It was plate shaped with a convex bottom |
| side, and about 30 feet in diameter. When he got to within 50 feet of |
| it his car motor stopped. He described the object as "full of |
| lights", red and other colors, which alternately blinked on and off. |
| Standing near the saucer was a robustly built man about 5-1/2 feet |
| tall, dressed in a light colored garment (the witness could not |
| specify the color because he was color blind). This being walked in |
| front of the witness and turned on a very bright white beam of light |
| from a flashlight like object. The witness thought he would be |
| assaulted, so he half opened the car door, steadied his .22 revolver |
| on it, and fired 6 shots at the UFO occupant. He reported that he was |
| a good shot with this revolver, and after shooting he could no longer |
| see him. Then the saucer-shaped craft began to oscillate, and he |
| heard a sound like a cowbell. At last, the UFO flew away on an |
| oblique course. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-109 (A1791), citing Walter |
| Buhler, SBEDV Bulletin, May 1976, p. 9). |
| |
| 1970 - At 4:40 p.m. while driving three kilometers east of Helleland, |
| Norway Mr. Salvesen had just come to a transformer station on his |
| right when he was temporarily blinded by a blue-white light that hurt |
| his eyes. A ball of light 20 feet in diameter came down on a slope. |
| Inside was a shiny, domed disc-shaped object. Its rim was a steel |
| blue color. He had some lasting eye injury as the result of his |
| encounter. (Source: Andre Liljegren, FSR Case Histories, April 1971, |
| p. 4). |

| |
| 1972 - A metallic gray, domed disc was seen on a clear day by a young |
| woman in Ghlin, Hainaut, Belgium at 10:40 a.m. It had a well-defined |
| outline, and moved slower than a plane. It moved in a straight |
| trajectory, from northwest to southwest. (Source: Vertongen Jean-Luc |
| Vertongen, SOBEPS News, March 1976, p. 8). |
| |
| 1973 - At 5:20 p.m. Carlos Argue Balvidares, age 43, the manager of a |
| country estate located 25 kilometers northeast of General Pinto, in |
| Buenos Aires province, Argentina was drinking tea when his |
| 13-year-old son Manuel called his attention to the presence of three |
| people floating in the air over the surface of a pond 100 yards away. |
| Balvidares went to the pond and called out to them. They "disappeared |
| immediately, only to return to show themselves at the opposite shore |
| of the pond, 300 yards away." |
| |
| (Continued.) There were two men and a woman. The woman was about 5' 3" tall and |
| had long black hair, black clothing, and white boots. The two men |
| were both of the same height and somewhat shorter. The men appeared |
| to be naked and of a "sunburned" color; they may have been wearing |
| tight fitting one-piece suits. They were blond, and their hair |
| appeared "glued on." All three had white complexions, wide foreheads, |
| and small noses. They floated about with their arms held close to |
| their bodies. |
| |
| (Continued) On the far side of the pond rested a luminous rectangular object |
| approximately 35 feet in diameter and 7-10 feet high. It emitted a |
| beam of light 15 inches in diameter that struck Balvidares. He felt |
| dazzled and he could feel heat from it. Balvidares took his horse and |
| rode to the pond, but when he had got halfway there he encountered an |
| "invisible barrier" and could not proceed. Meanwhile the beings |
| continued to maneuver over the surface of the pond, communicating by |
| "a kind of shriek, like the sound made by a radio which is poorly |
| tuned." |
| |
| After an hour and a half Balvidares again mounted his horse to ride |
| around the pond, but this time the beings returned to the UFO. The |
| images of the men changed in color to dark green and orange" as they |
| approached the craft. Then the witness smelled "an odor of sulphur" |
| and became drowsy for a few moments. When he recovered the UFO and |
| its entities had gone. On later investigation many triangular |
| footprints four to five inches long, showing four claw marks at the |
| front of the triangle, were found in the vicinity of the UFO's |
| resting place. The object itself left four triangular impressions 15 |
| inches on a side, arranged in a square 13 feet on a side. The horse |
| "exhibited nervousness" after the event, and its hair began to fall |
| out. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case 1973-117 (A1712), citing Omar R. Demattei, |
| ONIFE). |
| |
| 1975 - An unknown helicopter with an orange light landed in a |
| munitions storage area at Loring Air Force Base, Maine for the second |
| night in a row. (Source: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence (Volume |
| II). A Thirty Year Report, p. 77; Awareness, February 1978, p. 10). |
| |
| 1975 - A 15-year-old teenager in Mount Healthy, Ohio had a close |
| encounter with a cylindrical UFO at around 8:00 p.m. He reported that |
| it was only 25 feet overhead, and completely silent. Red lights |
| rotated on the bottom of the object. When it left it shot straight |
| up. (Source: Leonard H. Stringfield, Situation Red: The UFO Siege, p. |
| 37). |
| |
| 1975 - Beginning at 10 p.m. an unknown object maneuved over the town |
| of Sao Goncalo do Amarante, Ceara State, Brazil at low altitude for |
| two hours, causing panic. It shot beams of blue and orange toward the |
| ground; it stopped for a few minutes over a filling station, causing |
| a power outage. (Source: Claude Bourtembourg, SOBEPS News, March |
| 1976, p. 18). |
| |
| 1976 - At 8:25 p.m. six young men were out playing near a walled |
| playing field next to a local cemetery in Baracaldo, Spain when |
| they heard a loud crackling sound. Two of the boys next noticed an |
| object resembling a telephone booth and emitting a red and white |
| light descend towards the walled in field, so they ran to the field |
| and saw it land behind some bushes on three legs. An oval-shaped |
| opening became visible from which a red light shone. Then two very |
| tall human like figures emerged. The figures wore tight-fitting black |
| diving suits and wide bright belts. The figures walked slowly towards |
| the wall, and the two boys could now see bright shiny eyes but no |
| other facial features. One of the humanoids banged on the wall |
| several times, and then both walked to the center of the yard. One of |
| them then pulled out a long thin object from a sack he was wearing on |
| his side and pointed it at the wall, and a long thin beam of light |
| came from the device and hit the wall several times; at one point the |
| beam turned white. Moments later both figures walked back to their |
| craft. At this point the teens ran to tell their families and so did |
| not see the object depart. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1976, case # 637, citing J. J. Benitez, La Quinta |
| Columna). |
| |
| 1976 - A man was walking his dog in a local park in Toronto, Ontario |
| at around 10 p.m. when a fluorescent bluish green light descended |
| from the sky and enveloped him. He then saw something resembling a |
| television screen in front of him. Soon images of apparently |
| extraterrestrial figures appeared and communicated with the witness. |
| His dog was terrified during the encounter and the witness suffered |
| from general malaise afterwards. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1973, citing John Musgrave, UFO Occupants and |
| Critters). |
| |
| 1977 - On this evening on Mosqueiro Island, near Colares, Para State, |
| Brazil Benedito Campos and his 17-year-old wife Silvia Mara were at |
| home when they spotted an oval-shaped, silvery object emitting a |
| greenish beam, like a searchlight, towards the room where they were |
| lying in bed. Curious, they approached a small window and as they |
| did, the beam shot in through the window and made straight for |
| Silvia, throwing her into some sort of benumbed, trance-like state. |
| Silvia, who was pregnant at the time, then fainted. Two humanoid |
| entities then entered the house, carrying something resembling a gold |
| flashlight; again the beam struck Silvia, this time hitting her in |
| the left arm at wrist level. Benedito ran to a neighbor's house and |
| was also briefly paralyzed by a light beam. Both husband and wife |
| were later taken to a local hospital, were they both recovered. |
| However, Benedito suffered from depression after the incident. |

| Kind, p. 138; Albert S. Rosales, 1977 Humanoid Contact Database, case |
| # 3779, citing Daniel Rebisso Geise). |
| |
| 1978 - At 11:15 p.m. in Woolston, Warrington, Cheshire, England a |
| bell-shaped UFO with a bright light on top caused car radio |
| interference in a vehicle being driven near some railway tracks by |
| Ms. J. Fletcher, a woman in her twenties. The UFO had rings of light |
| circling its base, and three bumps on the bottom. It hovered, tilted |
| at an angle, descended, and moved away to the north. (Source: Jenny |
| Randles, International UFO Reporter, November 1986, p. 9). |
| |
| 1980 - On this evening in Middletown, Orange County, New York a |
| triangle-shaped object hovered silently at tree top level. It was |
| seen again 15 minutes later, when it shined four light beams down on |
| witnesses in a car. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, January 1981, |
| p. 1). |
| |
| 1983 - At 4:40 a.m. two police constables saw a large structured |
| object with two rows of lights maneuvering over hills while driving |
| along the A59 Highway on Blubberhouses Moor, North Yorkshire, |

| Gary Heseltine, Police Reports of UFOs, case # 117, citing the |
| Yorkshire Post). |
| |
| 1990 - At 1:15 a.m. a huge, bright orange ball with the top third cut |
| off was seen Elizabethtown, North Carolina. In Morganton, North |
| Carolina at 10:19 p.m. two oval lights connected by bar hovered 300 |
| feet off the ground, making a whining sound. (Source: Paul |
| Ferrughelli, Computer Catalog of UFO Reports, 1988-94, cases 972 & |
| 986; citing UFO Newsclipping Service). |
| |
| 1990 - At 8 p.m. a 44-year-old woman in Argos, Indiana witnessed a |
| strange, dark, delta-shaped object with multicolored lights. It made |
| no sound as it maneuvered through the sky. (Sources: K. O. Learner, |
| MUFON Field Investigation case files, 940401J; Francis L. Ridge, |
| Regional Encounters, p. 138). |
| |
| 1993 - A huge, totally silent, triangular object with red and yellow |
| lights glided overhead as a copule drove in their car for more than |
| two miles from Bedford to Mount Kisco in Westchester County, New York |
| at 9:30 p.m. It was at very close range; The close encounter lasted |
| for five minutes. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle, October 1993 webpage, reported uploaded January 28, |
| 1999). |
| |
| 1994 - A 20 meter in diameter domed disc-shaped object landed in a |
| meadow in St. Germain-en-Montagne, Jura, France at 7:30 p.m, and was |
| seen by two observers. It had portholes around the dome; no traces |
| were found at the landing site. The landing lasted three minutes. |
| (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 329). |
| |
| 1996 - At 6:40 p.m. a huge white sphere flew fast over Dannemois, |
| Essonne, France from northwest to southeast. At 6:45 p.m. a green |
| triangle-shaped object hovered over a highway in Sermaises, Loiret,  |
| France, pivoted in place, and then flew off to the north. It was also |
| seen in Etampes and Etrechy. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, cases # 17476 & 17477, citing Banque OVNI Reports, p. 96). |
| |
| 2000 - A powerful-sounding, mystery triangle-shaped craft hovered low |
| over a farmhouse in Unadilla, New York at 11:50 p.m. The vibrations |
| it caused were so strong that they knocked over objects inside the |
| house. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle, October 2000 webpage, report uploaded August 16, 2002). |
| |
| 2002 - A witness named Ed reported that on the evening of October 29, |
| at about 5:20 p.m., he sighted two triangle-shaped object flying over |
| his home, located 15 miles southeast of Spokane, Washington. Ov the |
| hills to the east he first noticed a very bright light on an object |
| heading WSW. It had a bright white headlight, and what looked like |
| normal red and green navigation lights on the wing tips, a white |
| strobe light on the bottom, and dim white lights on the underside |
| corners. He also heard what sounded like a muted jet aircraft engine |
| sound. However, what seemed out of place was the extremely bright, |
| single headlight on the nose, not the normal landing lights. Within a |
| minute he saw a second similar craft with three dim lights in the |
| corners, and no discernable fuselage. He contacted Fairchild AFB and |
| talked with the Public Affairs officer, who basically said that |
| unless an unidentified aircraft appeared on their radar, "we don't |
| care!" He added, "I just want to emphasize that the B-2 and the F-117 |
| fighter have a distinctive 'saw-tooth' pattern to the trailing edge |
| of their wings. The craft which I observed appeared to have a |
| perfectly straight trailing edge--just like a triangle and was at |
| least as large as the B-2." (Source: George A. Filer & David E. |
| Twichell, Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, pp. |
| 60-61). |
| |

| |
| 2004 - Odd lights were seen, most likely on a large, slow moving |
| cigar-shaped craft, north of Indianapolis, Indiana at 11:45 p.m. |
| (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, |
| October 2004 webpage). |
| |
| 2007 - At 6:50 a.m. a triangle-shaped object with red and green |
| lights, and a very bright red, slowly pulsating light, was seen over |
| Sterling Heights, Michigan. It made no sound. (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, October 2007 |
| webpage, report uploaded November 28, 2007). |
| |
| 2007 - At 8:53 another triangular object with three lights was seen |
| flying over Bedford, Westchester County, New York. (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, October 2007 |
| webpage, report uploaded November 28, 2007). |
| |
| 2009 - At 8:15 p.m a very large, silent, rectangular craft with four |
| lights was seen moving slowly across the sky in Centerville, |
| Montgomery County, Ohio. At 8:45 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. there were two |
| reports of 5-8 lights that appeared in the sky in New Vienna, Clinton |
| County, Ohio. They were golden colored, and appeared one after |
| another. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
