|
| April 12 |
|
|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1897 - A few days before the crescendo in a wave of "airship" |
|
|||
|
| sightings across the United States and Canada, there were 65 reports |
|
|||
|
| of "airships" on this day, including 25 in Illinois alone. Below are |
|
|||
|
| summarized two of the more interesting close encounter cases. |
|
|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1897 - Nilwood, Illinois - At 2:30 p.m. on the property of Z. |
|
|||
|
| Thacker, 19 kilometers north of Carlinville, an unknown object |
|
|||
|
| landed. Before Edward Teeples, William Street and Franklin Metcalf |
|
|||
|
| could reach it, the craft, which was shaped like a cigar with a dome, |
|
|||
|
| rose slowly and left toward the north. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |

|
|||
|
| Anatomy of a Phenomena, p. 12). |
|
|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1897 - At 6 p.m. a large crowd of miners in Girard, near Green |
|
|||
|
| Ridge, Illinois saw an unknown object land three kilometers north of |
|
|||
|
| Green Ridge and 4 km south of Girard. The night operator of the |
|
|||
|
| Chicago and Alton Railroad, Paul McCramer, stated that he came close |
|
|||
|
| enough to the craft to see a man emerge from it to repair the |
|
|||
|
| machinery. Traces were found over a large area. The object was |
|
|||
|
| elongated like a ship, with a roof and a double canopy. It left |
|
|||
|
| toward the north. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
|
|||
|
| Century of Landings, p. 182, citing the Chicago Times-Herald, April |
|
|||
|
| 14, 1897). |
|
|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1952 - North Bay, Ontario, Canada. At 9:30 p.m. Royal Canadian Air |
|
|||
|
| Force Warrant Officer E. H. Rossell and Flight Sgt. R. McRae sighted |
|
|||
|
| a round amber object that flew fast, stopped, reversed direction, and |
|
|||
|
| climbed away at a 30-degree angle during the two-minute observation. |
|
|||
|
| They said it with terrific speed, twice the speed of an F-86. |

|
|||
|
| 810). |
|
|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1953 - At 10:31 local time an unidentified target appeared on the |
|
|||
|
| radar scope at Torbat Airport, Newfoundland, Canada. It was on a |
|
|||
|
| magnetic course of approximately 270 degrees. One of the radar |
|
|||
|
| operators looked outside and saw what he thought was a B-29 aircraft, |
|
|||
|
| but when the object disappeared, he returned to the radar set and |
|
|||
|
| observed the object make a 180 degree turn 8 miles west of the |
|
|||
|
| airport. If fade from the radar scope 30 miles away in a northeast |
|
|||
|
| direction. (Source: www.nicap.org/waves/1953fullrep.htm citing Dan |
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1953 - At 3:10 p.m., while flying over Sweetwater, Nevada in a USAF |
|
|||
|
| C-47 transport 80 miles southwest of Reno, USAF Major Padelford, Lt. |
|
|||
|
| White and Lt. Cripe, the pilot, co-pilot, and navigator, sighted 9-10 |
|
|||
|
| flat, darkish metallic discs flying against the terrain. They were |
|
|||
|
| flying enroute from Long Beach to Stead AFB, NV at an altitude of |
|
|||
|
| 10,500 feet. They described the discs as having fuzzy edges, as they |
|
|||
|
| flashed beneath their aircraft descending. The co-pilot took control |
|
|||
|
| of the C-47, and turned to the right in a tight 300 degree turn for a |
|
|||
|
| better view of the objects. The objects were then picked up |
|
|||
|
| unassisted by two more members of the crew. The objects were observed |
|
|||
|
| in a right turn of greater radius than that of the C-47, and at a |
|
|||
|
| lower altitude. The object were observed for approximately 120 |
|
|||
|
| degrees of their turn, and disappeared on a heading of 300 degrees. |
|
|||
|
| The observers were unable to estimate the speed of the objects |
|
|||
|
| because of the distance and the objects'' large radius of |
|
|||
|
| turn. (Sources: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1953: March-July, p. |

|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1953 - At 10:00 p.m. miners in Coniston, Ontario, Canada watched as |
|
|||
|
| a glowing cigar-shaped object hovered over their smelter in a light |
|
|||
|
| wind. Over the next several minutes in began to shrink and it changed |
|
|||
|
| color. The duration of the sighting was 20 minutes. (Source: APRO |
|
|||
|
| Bulletin, November 1953). |
|
|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1957 - At 8:00 a.m. an odd cone-shaped UFO descended to the side of |
|
|||
|
| highway N562 in Figanieres, Var, France, causing the engine of the |
|
|||
|
| witness's car to stall. Vegetation at the site was later found to be |
|
|||
|
| dead. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, August 1972). |
|
|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1958 - On this night university professor Dr. Garron and his wife |
|
|||
|
| were in Tabladitas, Jujuy Province, Argentina when they watched a 30 |
|
|||
|
| meter luminous object descend to ground level. It had a halo; it |
|
|||
|
| turned and flew off to the east. (Sources: Uriondo Oscar A. Uriondo, |

|
|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1960 - LaCamp, Louisiana. At 9:00 p.m. Monroe Arnold, a physical |
|
|||
|
| scientist, saw a fiery-red disc that made a rumbling sound and |
|
|||
|
| exploded four or five times while flying through the sky for two to |
|
|||
|
| three seconds. It plowed through trees, struck the ground, bounced |
|
|||
|
| nine times, and resulted in explosions and flames. It left behind |
|
|||
|
| nine ground scars. An analysis of paint samples from the explosion |
|
|||
|
| proved inconclusive. (Sources: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO |
|
|||
|
| Unknowns; Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, |
|
|||

|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1966 - At 7:45 p.m. EST witnesses in Dorchester, Massachusetts |
|
|||
|
| reported a low-flying oval object with a dome on top and colored |
|
|||
|
| lights around its perimeter, circling over a schoolhouse and bobbing |
|
|||
|
| up and down. There was a coincident power failure (EM effects) in |
|
|||
|
| nearby Roxbury. At 10:00 p.m. EST an elongated elliptical (or |
|
|||
|
| cigar-like) object with a bright red-orange light at each end was |
|
|||
|
| seen hovering off Route 24 in Brockton, Massachusetts. (Sources: |

|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1967 - In Toronto, Ontario, Canada at 8:15 p.m. four lens-shaped |
|
|||
|
| discs with flashing lights on their rims circled a group of about 20 |
|
|||
|
| witnesses. Two of the object shot away on approach of an airplane. |
|
|||
|
| There were also sightings in Rice Lake, and Scarborough, Ontario and |
|
|||

|
|||
|
| extended from object. It shot away. (Sources: NICAP files; Richard H. |

|
|||
|
| 1967 - Also at 8:30 p.m. six members of a team doing underwater film |
|
|||
|
| work for ABC News saw five bright white lights in formation while |
|
|||
|
| near the Coastal Keys Highway off of Key Largo, Florida. The lights |
|
|||
|
| pulsated bright-and-dim on a half-second cycle, and maneuvered around |
|
|||
|
| each other as they passed overhead at about 200 feet altitude. The |
|
|||
|
| witnesses, in two 16-foot boats in windy weather with choppy waves, |
|
|||
|
| included a former aircraft carrier pilot, two former submarine |
|
|||
|
| sailors, and a boat captain guide. (Source: Letter to Herb Roth, May |

|
|||
|
| 1967 - At 8:59 p.m. in Phoenix, Arizona a close encounter occurred |
|
|||
|
| when a bell-shaped object buzzed a car with three witnesses; it |

|
|||
|
| affected. (Sources: Project Blue Book files; Mark Rodeghier, UFOs |

|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1967 - At 9:00 p.m. in Vienna, West Virginia two blobs of light |
|
|||
|
| maneuvered over the TV towers of WTAP-TV; a truncated cone of light |
|
|||

|
|||
|
| watched a revolving object with a red light in the middle, green |
|
|||
|
| lights on both ends, and white lights on the bottom. The object left |
|
|||
|
| a white trail, and it started and stopped many times, becoming all |
|
|||
|
| white when not moving. (Source: Berthold E. Schwarz, FSR, March 1971, |

|
|||
|
| 1969 - At noon several Swedish Air Force personnel sighted seven |
|
|||
|
| balloon or disc-shaped UFOs; the objects hovered over Rissala AFB, |
|
|||
|
| Sweden and there was reported to be radar confirmation of the |
|
|||
|
| sighting. (Sources: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. |

| she observed a top-shaped object on the far side of a hedge, It stood |
|
|||
|
| about three meters high and was resting on gray colored legs. Around |
|
|||
|
| the object she saw three beings about the size of 11-year-old |
|
|||
|
| children. They had pear shaped heads and appeared to be lacking |
|
|||
|
| hands. They wore black outfits with white belts. Despite their |
|
|||
|
| apparent lack of hands they were collecting samples from the ground |
|
|||
|
| that they placed on the side of the object. The specimens seemed to |
|
|||
|
| disappear into the solid craft. The woman's dog fled the scene at the |
|
|||
|
| outset of her encounter. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, |

| |
|
|||
|
| 1973 - At 10:30 p.m. An orange ball of light was observed from a |
|
|||
|
| Cessna 150 by physicist Harvy Rutledge and one other witness at 2500 |
|
|||
|
| feet flying southeast of Piedmont, Missouri. The orange ball of light |
|
|||
|
| appeared on the slope of Clark's Mountain, and disappeared when the |
|
|||
|
| aircraft turned toward it. A simultaneously identical light appeared |
|
|||
|
| to their right. When the aircraft banked again, the object turned and |
|
|||
|
| then shot straight up. The acceleration was estimated at 330 G's. |
|
|||
|
| Also, a glowing ball or disc-shaped object was chased by two |
|
|||
|
| experienced pilots in a Piper Cherokee over Farmington, Missouri, the |
|
|||
|
| same night and at the same time as the Piedmont incident. The object |
|
|||
|
| gave off heat waves, and made no noise. it outdistanced the plane |
|
|||
|
| with a tremendous burst of speed. (Sources: Charles J. Oswald, St. |

|
|||
|
| disc hovered 100m over a water tower. It had an antenna with a sphere |
|
|||
|
| on top. It hovered in place for four seconds. When the UFO departed a |
|
|||
|
| strong noise was heard causing windows to vibrate. It left toward the |
|
|||
|
| southeast. (Sources: UFO Information Sweden, May 1977, p. 17; Bertil |

|
|||
|
| meters away dressed in a silver diver suit, wearing a large helmet |
|
|||
|
| and with a square, featureless face. The being drifted through a |
|
|||
|
| closed gate on a country lane. (Sources: Hugh Turnbull, FSR, June |

| 1977 - At 3:30 p.m. two young girls walking under a highway overpass |
|
|||
|
| by a canal in Tucson, Arizona and were following a path up a small |
|
|||
|
| hill when they saw a UFO hovering above some nearby brush. The craft |
|
|||
|
| was dark gray, metallic, and shaped like a drum. It had four to six |
|
|||
|
| long spider like legs hanging from its bottom. The UFO rose slowly |
|
|||
|
| and disappeared towards the southeast following a curved path. From |
|
|||
|
| out of some bushes beneath where the object had been hovering, a |
|
|||
|
| thin, human-like figure emerged. It had long brown hair and was |
|
|||
|
| wearing a blue top and dark pants, but it also wore strange looking |
|
|||
|
| boots. Behind the thin figure five other shorter figures appeared. |
|
|||
|
| The group walked briskly away in single file, towards the desert and |
|
|||
|
| into the distance where they could no longer be seen. (Source: Albert |

|
| 1977 - at 11 p.m. in Henschen, Indiana a couple were driving to their |
|
|||
|
| trailer home and had to make a stop to change their baby's diaper. As |
|
|||
|
| the husband looked for a diaper in the car he glanced out a window |
|
|||
|
| and saw a twelve foot tall hairy creature with fierce glowing red |
|
|||
|
| eyes. The creature uttered some guttural sounds and made an apparent |
|
|||
|
| aggressive move towards the car. They drove off quickly, but the |
|
|||
|
| creature chased their vehicle as they attempted to flee. It pounded |
|
|||
|
| angrily on their car and dented it, flinging its arms up and down. |
|
|||
|
| The following night the couple saw a similar creature perched near a |
|
|||
|
| tree that was overlooking their mobile home. The creature took |
|
|||
|
| several steps towards the house and was shot at by the husband |
|
|||
|
| several times, at which point it seemed to jump up and disappeared in |
|
|||
|
| plain sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |

|
|||
|
| 1981 - In a remote farm area of Goodhue, Minnesota a civil engineer |
|
|||
|
| and his wife encountered a two-foot diameter aluminum-like disc as |
|
|||
|
| they drove by just 40 feet away. In the early afternoon R. E. Schenk, |
|
|||
|
| age 56, and his wife were driving south on Highway 58. At about 1:30 |
|
|||
|
| p.m. they saw the small disc, shaped like two saucers, one inverted |
|
|||
|
| on top of the other. The object was hovering just a few feet off the |
|
|||
|
| road about 40 feet away, with sunlight reflecting off its surface. |
|
|||
|
| Surprised by what he had seen, the former Navy pilot turned and drove |
|
|||
|
| back. He and his wife then saw the object at an estimated 2,000-4,000 |
|
|||
|
| feet altitude. It climbed rapidly through the sky, and disappeared in |
|
|||
|
| the distance, headed in the direction of Minneapolis. The weather was |
|
|||
|
| clear, and visibility unlimited. It was a bright, sunny day. |

|
| 1986 - At 8:30 p.m. a single witness in Delmont, Pennsylvania sighted |
|
|||
|
| a 6-meter glowing circle of light only 5 cm from the ground in a |
|

|
| 1989 - At 12:25 a.m. a woman in Perth, Western Australia was awake in |
|
|||
|
| bed next to her sleeping husband when she became aware of a |
|
|||
|
| high-pitched sound. On the right side of the bed a short figure |
|
|||
|
| suddenly appeared. She described it as semi-transparent, and it wore |
|
|||
|
| a bright green neon belt and a green ring. The entity was examining a |
|

| 1989 - An 11-year-old boy in Webster, Massachusetts saw a |

|
| cigar-shaped object rise out of a lake. It was brownish-black and 15' |
|

|
| long. (Source: Robert Gribble, Paul Ferrughelli, Computer Catalog of |

|
| 1992 - Driving in the desert on US Highway 180 near Deming, New |
|
|||
|
| Mexico a man was listening to his CB radio when the radio suddenly |
|
|||
|
| sent silent. He next noticed a patch of white light shining on a rise |
|
|||
|
| over the left side of the road. He then heard a voice in his head |
|
|||
|
| that told him to "watch out for the smoke." Thinking it had been the |
|
|||
|
| CB radio, he tried to reply but got no answer. Next, he saw what |
|
|||
|
| looked like a huge luminous cloud which created what looked like a |
|
|||
|
| curtain across the highway. He drove into the grayish-white mist for |
|
|||
|
| about an hour. He stopped his vehicle and walked across the road and |
|
|||
|
| to a ditch, but he was still unable to see anything. Suddenly, he |
|
|||
|
| became paralyzed, and saw the approach of two beings about 5 feet |
|
|||
|
| tall. Each being got on either side of him and place a firm grip on |
|
|||
|
| his forearms. The beings had long bony fingers. They then led him to |
|
|||
|
| a shiny metallic craft, shaped like a flattened arch with rounded |
|
|||
|
| ends. A rectangular opening appeared in the side of the craft. He |
|
|||
|
| experienced amnesia about what happened next. The next thing he |
|
|||
|
| remembers is sitting back in a chair inside the craft, feeling dizzy |
|
|||
|
| and numb. He was briefly left alone before two beings entered the |
|
|||
|
| room. One was a male with a round, oval face and oval black eyes. The |
|
|||
|
| second being was a female, similar in appearance to the male being. |
|
|||
|
| The witness was then led to a dimly lit room, and place in a |
|
|||
|
| reclining position on a chair. He felt a buzzing sensation on his |
|
|||
|
| face, and felt as if a small object was being inserted into his nose. |
|
|||
|
| He was then released and led outside, and floated horizontally to his |
|
|||
|
| vehicle. He resumed his drive and the vapor-like fog quickly |
|
|||
|
| dissipated. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 2002 Humanoid Contact |

|
| 1994 - Farm animals in Granville, Tennessee were reported to be |
|
|||
|
| unusually calm after a rectangular object passed at a low altitude. |
|
|||
|
| It had a white light at two corners, and trees hid the other two |
|
|||
|
| corners. The object was dark, but the space between the two lights |
|
|||
|
| blocked the stars; it was bigger than a house, and made a low rumble. |
|
|||
|
| The altitude was estimated to be 100 feet and the distance 500 feet. |
|
|||
|
| It moved very slowly. When the object vanished from sight, there was |
|
|||
|
| a sudden flash of white light and the rumbling sound ceased. The |
|
|||
|
| animals' calmness persisted afterward. Animals involved were 5 |
|
|||
|
| goats, 4 dogs, 9 geese, 40 chickens, at least one cow and a horse. |

| 2003 - A couple in Gisborne, New Zealand saw a multi-colored UFO |
|
|||
|
| hovering for 15 minutes. Laurence Fleming reported that at around |
|
|||
|
| 11:50 p.m. he and his wife were outside when they spotted the object. |
|
|||
|
| It displayed a red to green to yellow color pattern, alternating |
|

|
| frequently to blue as well. The viewed it through binoculars. It |
|
|||
|
| vanished, and then suddenly reappeared further away in less than a |
|
|||
|
| second. Eventually it was lost from view because of the cloud cover. |

| 2004 - In Citrusdal, Western Cape, South Africa two witnesses were |
|

|
| walking home at 9:30 p.m. when they saw a flying triangle craft |
|
|||
|
| moving very slowly through the sky. It had a yellow light at each of |
|
|||
|
| the three points, and in the middle of the craft was a blue and red |
|
|||
|
| light that went on and off and circled each other. "My grandmother an |
|
|||
|
| I stood there for about 4 minutes watching the craft, and then I went |
|
|||
|
| home." The witness told her father about it, and he became a third |
|
|||
|
| witness, but he could only make out a faint light in the sky. The |
|
|||
|
| grandmother had seen a similar craft several nights before. (Source: |

|
| 2008 - In Sonora, California a man saw what he descibed as a "Grey |
|
|||
|
| translucent being" studying the flowers in his garden. He had arrived |
|
|||
|
| back home from work after parking the car in the garage and had |
|
|||
|
| walked to his front door, when he was amazed to see what looked like |
|
|||
|
| "a typical grey alien being in my garden." It was translucent and not |
|
|||
|
| completely solid, and about five feet tall. It seemed incredibly thin |
|
|||
|
| and had a very pointed chin. It appeared to be studying the plants, |
|
|||
|
| and from this point on he has no certain recollection of the events |
|
|||
|
| that followed. It didn't appear to be interested in him. He had two |
|
|||
|
| memories of walking into his house. One is where he walked in and |
|
|||
|
| went straight to bed; the other is where he alerted the dogs and made |
|
|||
|
| them check outside, which they didn't want to do. His wife had been |
|
|||
|
| working until 7 a.m. and was in bed asleep when he arrived. The next |
|
|||
|
| day he had no recollection of any of this. It wasn't until some 20 |
|
|||
|
| hours later that he remembered what he had seen. He told his wife as |
|
|||
|
| soon as he saw her, and she thought he was insane...fornot mentioning |
|
|||
|
| it sooner! The other strange thing was that he didn't feel afraid at |
|
|||
|
| all to go out in the dark garage or garden. He did not see any UFO or |
|
|||
|
| craft on this night, but had seen many previously. The following |
|
|||
|
| evening he did see a large white light sweep across the sky while |
|
|||
|
| walking the dogs. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |

|
| 2008 - Several members from the UFO group “Ovni Merida” were |
|
|||
|
| conducting a “night vigil” in an isolated field at about 350 meters |
|
|||
|
| from the road in Baca, Merida, Mexico. It was a cloudy night with |
|
|||
|
| little moon. At around midnight one of the men saw what appeared to |
|
|||
|
| be a pair of red eyes at about 100 meters away in a field. The eyes |
|
|||
|
| were shiny and the men immediately thought it was a dog, but it did |
|
|||
|
| not bark, move, or approach them, and it suddenly disappeared. Two of |
|
|||
|
| the men walked over to the site, but failed to locate any tracks or |
|
|||
|
| ground traces. As they looked around, the same pair of red shiny eyes |
|
|||
|
| appeared again, about 100 meters away in another field. The eyes |
|
|||
|
| vanished and then would appear again another 100 meters away in |
|
|||
|
| another field; this went on for several minutes. The men again failed |
|
|||
|
| to find any footprints or traces. Soon, they rejoined the others, and |
|
|||
|
| heard a loud galloping sound like that of a horse; immediately after |
|
|||
|
| that they heard the sound of huge wings flapping overhead, and this |
|
|||
|
| caused one of the men to scream in fright. One of them managed to see |
|
|||
|
| a large pair of dark wings disappear into some nearby brushes. Two of |
|
|||
|
| the men went to investigate, one armed with a powerful flashlight and |
|
|||
|
| the other with a canister of tear gas. They approached the bushes but |
|
|||
|
| they failed to find anything. Later, when the group was again |
|
|||
|
| together, one of them who had gone to investigate reported that he |
|
|||
|
| had seen a shadowy, two-foot tall figure walking in the brush. The |
|
|||
|
| figure, whatever it was, seemed to be walking hunched over. |
|
|||
|
| Terrified, he asked the other man to return to camp. (Source: Albert |
