|  November 13 |
| |
| 1833 - On this date in 1833 a series of incidents involving a luminous |
| aerial object and the fall of mysterious jelly-like substances were |
| reported in New York, New Jersey and Ohio. At dawn in West Point, New |
| York, a woman milking her cow saw a luminous object descend "with a |
| sposh" sound. She discovered a flattened, jelly-like transparent |
| mass. By 10:00 in the morning it had sublimed and disappeared. The |
| same kind of jelly-like substance was found on the ground in Newark |
| and Rahway, New Jersey. In Poland, Ohio a luminous object in the |
| northeastern sky, at dawn, hovered for nearly an hour. It was |
| described as very brilliant, and was shaped like a "pruning hook." |
| Earlier, at a short time after 2:00 a.m., a luminous object was also |
| seen in the sky at Niagara Falls, New York. It was shaped like a |
| square table, remained stationary in the sky, and emitted rays of |
| light. (Source: Gordon Lore, Jr. and Harold H.Dennault, Jr., |
| Mysteries of the Skies: UFOs in Perspective, pp. 60-61). |
| |
| 1939 - In 1939 a building foreman drove past a deserted farm in the early |
| morning in Brockworth, England and heard a high-pitched humming |
| sound. He looked and saw a gray, bell-shaped object hovering over a |
| nearby field. It had dark windows on its side, and a curtain of green |
| light underneath, which retracted upwards as if solid. (Source: |
| Richard Hall, From Airships to Arnold: A Preliminary Catalogue of UFO |
| reports in the Early 20th Century, p. 17). |
| |
| 1952 - At both Opheim Army Base and Glasgow AFB in Montana in 1952, an |
| unidentified flying object was picked up on radar between 2:20 and |
| 2:43 a.m. There was visual confirmation of the UFO by military |
| personnel near Opheim. According to Earl Oksendahl, a qualified and |
| reliable weather bureau witness, at 2.43 a.m. five glowing objects in |
| formation made a 90 degree turn overhead, and then flew to the |
| southwest. The two outside objects seemed to bank. They were oval |
| shaped, 30-50 feet in diameter, had no trail, no exhausts, and made |
| no noise. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case 2220; UNICAT, case # 752; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A |
| History. 1952: November-December, p. 22; Richard F. Haines, Project |
| Delta, p. 76). |
| |
| 1953 - At 7:00 p.m. 2 RAF pilots in Southend, Essex, England saw an |
| orb and a disc in the sky. They noticed that orb the was actually |
| also disc shaped when it banked sideways. (Source: Harold Wilkins, |
| Flying Saucers Uncensored, p. 62). |
| |
| 1954 - At 3:30 a.m. near the local airport in Berck, Pas-de-Calais, |
| France, Mr. Davril saw a craft shaped like a round hut 300 meters |
| away. It took off without making any noise. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 336). |
| |
| 1954 - At the intersection of Routes N28 and N319 in Buchy, |
| Seine-Maritime, France Mr. R. L. of Rouen saw a luminous craft take |
| off while he feIt pricklings and was paralyzed. The engine of his car |
| slowed down but did not stall. (Sources: Paris-Normandie, November |
| 15, 1954; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| case # 337). |
| |
| 1954 - Curitiba, Parana State, Brazil - At 3:30 a.m. Mr. Cheminot, a |
| Brazilian railway employee, saw three short beings in tight fitting, |
| luminous coveralls examining the railroad tracks with a lantern. When |
| they saw him, they entered a lens-shaped craft, which rose rapidly |
| into the sky. (Sources: Coral E. Lorenzen, Flying Saucer Occupants, |

| Reports, case 1954-129 [A0343]; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: |
| A Century of Landings, case # 338). |
| |
| 1957 - In 1957 a UFO exploded over the State Hospital in Crownsville, |
| Maryland at 9:10 in the morning. Fragments were recovered and sent to |
| the US Air Force for analysis. On this same date a UFO was seen high |
| in the sky east of Port Broughton, South Australia. It drifted slowly |
| toward the northwest. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, January 1958, |
| p. 5; Michael Hervey, UFOs over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 160). |
| |
| 1960 - In the year 1960 in La Londe, France a domed disc-shaped UFO was |
| spotted sitting on railroad tracks at 2:45 a.m. It made no sound, and |
| shafts of orange light periodically shot out from the object. It rose |
| vertically, folded its landing gear, and shot off straight up. |
| (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| case 512). |
| |
| 1965 - Two odd looking craft were seen floating or hovering near the |
| surface of the ocean at the southern tip of New Zealand. Two |
| fisherman, Mr. R. D. Hanning, age 41, skipper of the fishing vessel |
| Eleoneai, and Mr. W. J. Johnson made the sighting. They had set out |
| from Bluff, the port of Invercargill, New Zealand, to tend pots in |
| the area of Stewart Island, the southernmost part of New Zealand. At |
| 11:30 a.m. they were about half a mile off Rugged Islands when they |
| saw a strange craft come out of the water. Its tapered structure rose |
| about 15 feet above the water and measured 5 feet high at the top and |
| 12 feet at the water line. Then, about 30 feet away, a second |
| box-shaped object, about 10 feet long and 5 feet high, was seen. |
| There was no sign of any periscope or railing and nothing but the |
| 'tower' and 'box' were visible. The water was smooth and the objects |
| were in clear view 300 yards away. After 10 seconds there was |
| suddenly a great surging of water and both object vanished beneath |
| the surface. Both men were rather startled at this display and in |
| fact were somewhat frightened by it. They hung around for a few |
| minutes, decided not to wait any longer, and steamed off. The water |
| at the spot where they had made the sighting was about 30 fathoms |
| deep to a sandy bottom. (Sources: Otago Daily Times, November 18, |
| 1965; Henk J. Hinfelaar, Flying Saucer Review, July-August 1966, |
| p. 29; Ivan T. Sanderson, Invisible Residents, p. 56; Carl Feindt, |

| |
| 1965 - In the late evening in Mogi-Guacu, Sao Paulo State, Brazil Sr. |
| Dario Filho, his wife, his grandson, and a bank director saw an |
| object land 100 meters away, flashing a beam of light towards the |
| sky. Two policemen on the scene also observed the incident. Near the |
| object were two dwarves. One of them wore coveralls, while the other |
| had on a gray shirt and brown trousers. By what seemed an optical |
| effect, a third being with a flat, squarish head, wearing something |
| like a surgeon's apron, was also seen near them. The object and the |
| creatures were very brightly lit. The incident lasted 30 minutes. |

| Lorenzen, Flying Saucers: The Startling Evidence of the Invasion from |
| Outer Space, p. 244, citing Olavo T. Fontes; Jacques Vallee, Passport |
| to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 716). |
| |
| 1967 - A man and woman were driving down a road in Winterfold Forest |
| in Cranleigh, England at half an hour past midnight when they |
| encountered a heavy fog and were required to stop. A face suddenly |
| appeared in the car window, and an arm reached up to the roof of |
| their car. As they hurriedly drove off they could see the face and |
| arm attached to a dark, conical body, but they saw no legs. They also |
| reported the odor of burnt food at the time of their encounter with |
| the entity. (Source: Charles Bowen, Flying Saucer Review, January |
| 1968, p. 15). Later that evening an EM effects UFO close encounter |
| was reported in Arnheim, The Netherlands. (Source: Flying Saucer |
| Review, January 1968, p. 33). |
| |
| 1971 - At 2:00 a.m. a lemon-colored sphere was seen by a railway |
| signalman 50 feet above the ground in Saxilby, Lincolnshire, England. |
| A second identical object appeared, and the two hovered together, |
| making no sound. The lights were estimated to be half a mile away. |
| They vanished like a light switch being turned off. (Source: Mrs. K |
| Smith, BUFORA Journal, August 1971, p. 23). |
| |
| 1971 - In the desert of Lucerne Valley, California three men were out |
| on a hunting trip. At 5:15 p.m. they saw a large, yellowish-white |
| light land in the distance, and a smaller light approach their |
| campsite. In the ensuing minutes they heard twigs snap, and were |
| startled by a loud unintelligible cry. They left their campsite in |
| haste. Returning to the site during the daytime with UFO investigator |
| Anne Druffel, they found three 12"-14" circular imprints arranged in |
| a triangle 12 feet apart. (Sources: Ann Druffel, NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, October 1972, p. 2; Data-Net Report, February 1972, |
| p. 15). |
| |
| 1972 - Four witnesses had a close encounter of the second kind with a |
| noisy UFO three miles southeast of Anderson, Shasta County, |
| California. The incident occurred at 6:10 p.m., lasted ten |
| minutes, scared animals, and left physical traces. (Sources: Redding |
| (CA) Record-Searchlight, November 15, 1972; William M. Murphy, FSR |
| Case Histories,  February 1973, p. 1). |
| |
| 1973 - In an apparent abduction attempt, in 1973 a UFO hovered over a car |
| and "tall, thin, green occupants" tried to stop it on highway 1470 |
| two miles east of Poteet, Texas. Paint peeled from the car due to |
| something dripping from the UFO. Other reports of nocturnal lights |
| seen flying in the sky that evening came from California, Yugoslavia, |
| and Spain. (Source: Austin Evening Statesman, November 14, 1973; |
| David Webb, 1973: Year of the Humanoids, p. 20). |
| |
| 1974 - In 1974, close encounters occurred in Norwalk, Connecticut, Antigo, |
| Wisconsin, and Rockford, Illinois. A cattle mutilation case occurred |
| south of Olney, Texas on the same day as a humanoid report from |
| Antigo, Wisconsin. (Source: George Eberhart, A Geo-Bilbliography of |
| Anomalies, p. 359). |
| |
| 1975 - On this night in 1975 a number of multi-colored nocturnal lights were |
| reported in the midwestern and southern United States. Sparkling |
| white, red, and yellow lights flew in formation erratically in |
| Whitewater, Wisconsin. Red, green, and white lights were sighted in |
| Eau Claire, Wisconsin, moving up-and-down and diagonally. In Fort |
| Atkinson, Wisconsin bright white lights that dimmed, disappeared, and |
| then re-appeared were sighted. In Mobile, Alabama a UFO, changing |
| colors, moved across the horizon. A round silver object was seen |
| moving slowly in the northwest sky in Orlando, Florida. It suddenly |
| disappeared. (Source: CUFOS News Bulletin, February 1976, p. 13.) |
| |
| 1976 - In Chandlers Ford, England, a couple saw a silver-suited man |
| near a supermarket, seven miles away from another CE-3 report. |

| |
| 1977 - At eleven o'clock at night in Fox-Amphoux, Var department, |
| France a young couple in their twenties, driving on highway D |
| 561, observed a disc-shaped light in the sky over the hills between |
| Fox-Amphoux and Aups. After driving several kilometers the couple |
| again saw it, now larger and blinking, at the crossroads of Logis |
| d'Amphoux; it seemed to be above the nearby town of Fox. They pulled |
| their car to the side of the road and watched it for 15 minutes. Next |
| they saw, about 200 meters behind them along the road, a small point |
| of light near the ground, as though someone were carrying a |
| flashlight. They turned around and drove back toward the light and |
| observed, about 30 to 50 meters away, an unstable, two-dimensional |
| image of a human-like entity of a phosphorescent white color, with no |
| visible arms or legs and no features on its head. It was about |
| five-foot eight inches tall, "advancing and retreating," and fading |
| in and out. They compared the form to a TV image. The couple |
| associated the lights seen earlier with the figure, became |
| frightened, and drove off. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, April |
| 1980; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case # 1977-56, citing Alain Prigent). |
| 1977 - At 11:35 p.m. two Air Force security police officers at |
| Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota were checking out a report of |
| trespassers at a restricted nuclear weapons storage site, when they |
| noticed a bright light hovering above a nearby hill. One of the men |
| remained in the patrol vehicle as the second investigated the source |
| of the light. As the officer approached the area he observed a human |
| like figure wearing a shiny green metallic uniform and a helmet with |
| visor. The witness ordered the figure to stop, but it continued |
| walking towards the source of the light. As the officer pointed his |
| M-16 at the figure the being suddenly turned around and pointed an |
| object at the officer. This was followed by a bright flash of light |
| from the object, and then the M-16 carbine exploded causing burns to |
| the hands of the officer. As the injured officer hid, the other |
| officer arrived and he observed two similarly clad figures; he |
| challenged both but they refused to stop, so he then fired his |
| weapon, striking both. They were seen to fall, but 15 seconds later |
| both stood up and fired several flashes of light at the officer, who |
| was able to take cover and was unhurt. He then followed the two |
| intruders and saw them enter a landed disc-shaped craft. The object |
| then emitted a brilliant flash of green light, and disappeared into |
| the sky. Later investigation revealed that several components to one |
| of the nuclear warheads were missing. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| 1977 Humanoid Contact database, case # 1208, citing Enigma, issue # |
| 43, also Leonard Stringfield). |
| On this evening in Silverton, England, in 1978,a large pulsating |
| light buzzed four men in a car, forcing the driver to stop the car. |
| In Espanola, New Mexico, a mutilated cow was discovered. The rectum |
| and udder had been removed with surgical incisions. (Sources: UFO |
| Newsclipping Service, January 1979, p. 11; Richard Hall, Zetetic |
| Scholar, Volume 50, p. 48). |
| |
| 1980 - A hamburger-shaped disc hovered for three minutes in the late |
| afternoon over Poole Harbour, Dorset, England, making a humming |
| sound. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 13584, |
| citing FSR). |
| |
| 1981 - Another radar-visual encounter occurred in Greece in 1981. UFOs |
| returned for the second night to the Hortiati NATO Air Base, were |
| picked up on radar, and witnessed by police in Thessaloniki. NATO |
| jets were scrambled to intercept the unknowns, again without success. |
| (Source: Iinternational UFO Reporter, January 1982, p. 12). |
| |
| 1982 - A farmer walking a mule at 9:30 p.m. in Arrolobos, Spain saw a |
| dark figure walk toward him. The witness yelled, asking who he was. |
| The figure replied in a low guttural voice "Don't you know me?" It |
| then ran down a bank and disappeared. It was described as tall, |
| muscular, and wearing a black outfit. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1982, citing J. J. Benitez). |
| |
| 1989 - In 1989 Hungarian Air Force training flights were paced by orange |
| UFOs near Kecskemet, Hungary. The UFOs were not picked up on radar. |

| |
| 1991 - In 1991, at about 5:30 p.m., a couple driving a car in Douglas, |
| Georgia saw a silver, triangular-shaped UFO with rounded corners. It |
| emitted an arc of white light. A second identical triangle then |
| appeared, and the two UFOs circled a nearby lake. The UFOs moved |
| erratically, sometimes at a slow speed, sometimes very fast. |
| (Sources: MUFON Investigation Files Database, case 930404J; Jerold R. |
| Johnson,  MUFON UFO Journal, November 1993, p. 17; Richard F. Haines, |

| |
| 1993 - A farmer in Forest Grove, Oregon a half an hour past midnight on this |
| day in 1993 was putting goats and chickens away in a barn, when he |
| heard noises from the bushes. He found one of his goats dead with |
| puncture wounds and with internal organs missing. He then saw a |
| short, hairy biped run into the woods. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database, case #2661). |
| |
| 1998 - In Maybrook, New York an 11-year-old boy awoke at 1:30 a.m. |
| and saw three bizarre figures in the shape of bowling pins standing |
| in the hallway about five feet from his bedroom doorway. They stood |
| there staring at the witness. The figures glowed a white color, but |
| did not illuminate anything around them. No eyes or mouths could be |
| seen. The witness apparently encountered similar looking creatures |
| the year before. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1998, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle). |
| |
| 1998 - At 7:10 p.m. north of the city of Helsinki, Finland two people |
| heard and saw something resembling a bolt of lighting come from the |
| sky. Strange vibrations lasting five minutes followed, and then all |
| became quiet. After another two minutes the witnesses heard a very |
| loud noise with no apparent cause, and this sound diminished before |
| ceasing entirely. Then from their first floor balcony the witnesses |
| saw three strange beings enter their backyard. The beings moved |
| around the yard in every direction. One of them carried a purple |
| blinking light and another of the beings climbed up one of their |
| trees. The witness then made some noise and the humanoid in the tree |
| came down and then they all left. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1998, citing Chucara Quebec). |
| |
| 1999 - Andre Marquetti and Jair Picerni were jogging in the local |
| park in Cachoeira de Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil on a very sunny |
| afternoon at around 2 p.m. As they ran near a clearing they spotted a |
| “classic” disc-shaped object with a transparent dome on top on the |
| ground. Stunned, they stood still and watched it for awhile, and when |
| they attempted to run away they found they could not move. They then |
| noticed a figure exit the craft, who completely ignored them and |
| walked around the object. Five minutes later the humanoid being |
| re-entered the object, which then rose up slowly and disappeared from |
| sight. Soon afterwards the two men were able to move again. Both |
| suffered from headaches and nausea for a week after the incident. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1999 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, |

| UFO/paranormal TV show. The UFO was estimated to be at only 200 feet |
| altitude, flying very low and very slow over a major, busy, |
| metropolitan area, and was completely silent. It had white lights |
| underneath, and at one point stopped and hovered, then turned, and |
| was gone in 6 seconds. (Source: Preston Dennett, UFOs over |
| California: A True History of Extraterrestrial Encounters in the |
| Golden State, p. 212, citing the MUFON UFO Journal, issue # 428). |
| |
| 2002 - At 1:20 a.m. at the Burger King parking lot in Baton Rouge, |

| Reporting Center, Seattle, Nov. 2002 webpage; George A. Filer & David |
| E. Twichell, Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, p. |
| 62). |
| |
| 2002 - At 7:10 p.m. a huge triangle was seen moving toward a busy |
| intersection in Bloomington, Indiana. It was flying in a southeast |
| direction, and had two red lights, one on each tip of the trailing |
| edge. There was an amber light in the center of craft that was |
| constantly changing shape. It was too fast and low for a blimp, |
| according to the witness. Its estimated altitude was only 20 feet. |
