|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  October 23 |
| |
| 1822 - On this day in Berlin, Germany Astronomer Pastorff watched two |
| disc pass in front of the face of the Sun. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case no. 81). |
| |
| 1949 - In Norwood, Hamilton County, Ohio outside of Cincinnati a |
| black-and-white motion picture film was made showing a large |
| disc-shaped craft hovering in a searchlight beam; it emitted five |
| triangular or delta-shaped objects. The entire event began at 7:15 |
| p.m., lasted over 210 minutes, and was witnessed by more than 50 |
| people.  (Sources: Leonard H. Stringfield, Inside Saucer Post...3-0 |
| Blue, p. 72; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 88). |
| |
| 1950 - A retired USAF pilot watched a metallic blimp with three |
| portholes hover for five seconds over Bonlee, North Carolina. He lost |
| sight of it but saw it again after 40 seconds. (Source: Project Blue |
| Book files counted in official statistics, case no. 824). |
| |
| 1954 - At one o'clock in the morning two persons in a car saw an |
| object resting by the side of the road in San Giovanni Vesuviano, |
| Italy. They stopped and walked toward the craft, which was two meters |
| in diameter. As they approached it suddenly changed its clear light |
| into a red glow and took off. (Source: Il Tempo, October 23, 1954; |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 237, |
| case 302). |
| |
| 1954 - At 1:30 a.m. EDT in Cincinnati, Ohio a witness heard his radio |
| shriek and his dog began barking. He looked out and saw a huge silent |
| red disc surrounded by halo circles. (Source: Leonard Stringfield, |
| CRIFO Newsletter, December 1954, p. 5). |
| |
| 1954 - A farmer named Carmelo Papotto in Tripoli, Libya saw a flying |
| craft descend to ground level at 3:00 a.m. It hovered about 50 meters |
| away, making a sound like that of an air compressor. It was an |
| egg-shaped machine with six wheels and complex machinery. The top |
| half was transparent and flooded with a bright white light. Aboard |
| were six men in yellowish coveralls; they looked human and had on |
| facemasks. When he touched part of the craft he got a strong electric |
| shock. One of the occupants motioned for him to stay away. For the |
| next twenty minutes the witness was able to observe the six men, |
| apparently busy with their instruments. Reliable investigations were |
| made. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, p. 237, case 303; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1954-113). |
| |
| 1954 - At 5:10 a.m. a brilliant crescent-shaped object landed in |
| Ernemont, France. Three shadowy figures exited the object and went in |
| different directions. This was followed by a power outage. (Source: |
| Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 4044). |
| |
| 1954 - On this afternoon baker M. Lelu was in his vehicle on Route |
| 101 in Trondes, France and had come to a bend on the road when he |
| spotted two phosphorescent points of light near a glade. He |
| approached the area, thinking it was another car, when he saw a tall |
| blond haired man standing immobile in a nearby field. Thinking that |
| the figure might be an extraterrestrial he drove away from the area |
| in order to get additional witnesses. Later, the harassed owner of |
| the field claimed that the mysterious blond figure was merely a |
| Polish farmer, but this was never confirmed. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1954, citing Raoul Robe, Regional |
| Catalogue). |
| |
| 1954 - Mrs. Boeuf was coming out of her farmhouse in the evening in |
| St. Hilaire-des-Loges, Vendee, France when she saw a luminous disc |
| hovering in the sky and called to her family. When everyone saw the |
| object come closer they locked all the doors and spent a sleepless |
| night inside. They did not observe the object's departure, but |
| noticed an unnatural silence that pervaded the area. (Sources: |
| France-Soir, October 26, 1954; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, p. 237, case 301). |
| |
| 1954 - That same night a big, bifurcated "black radish" shaped |
| creature was seen walking around Wittenheim, Haut-Rhin department, |
| France. Mr. Muller, a policeman, saw the being in his garden. There |
| were three other witnesses. (Sources: Paris Radar, October 31, |
| 1954; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case 1954-114). |
| |
| 1957 - Strands of "angel hair" as long as fifty feet fell over a 110 |
| mile-long area from Portales to Hobbs, New Mexico. (Source: Civilian |
| Saucer Intelligence-New York). |
| |
| 1959 - A strange buzzing sound was heard when a luminous |
| saucer-shaped object flew over Cordoba, Argentina at 8:00 p.m. It |
| flew off to the northwest. (Source: APRO Bulletin, November 1959). |
| |
| 1965 - James Townsend, age 19, a radio announcer for KEYL Radio, had |
| a close encounter with a UFO and three creatures at about 7:15 p.m. |
| on a road about four miles east of Long Prairie, Minnesota. As he was |
| driving around a curve in the road he saw an upright, rocket-like |
| object straddling the road. It was about 30 or 40 feet high and about |
| 10 feet in diameter, resting on legs or fins. His car engine stalled, |
| the lights and radio went out, and he slammed on the brakes and |
| stopped twenty feet in front of it. His first thought was to knock it |
| over with the car so he would have some evidence, but the engine had |
| already stalled. Then he got out with the idea of trying to push it |
| over by hand. |
| |
| "When I got to the front of my car, three creatures that looked like |
| individual tin cans on tripods, and were six inches tall, came from |
| behind the rocket. They didn't have eyes that I could see, but I knew |
| they were looking at me. I stopped. I didn't have any desire to get |
| closer. There was no sound--just dead silence. It seemed like ages as |
| we looked at each other. Then they went up into the rocket, which had |
| a bright colorless light glowing out of the bottom. There was a loud |
| hum. The rocket went up and disappeared. When the light on the bottom |
| went out after it was in the air, my car radio and light came on, and |
| my engine started without having to touch the starter." |
| |
| Townsend said his car had an automatic transmission and he had placed |
| the selector lever in "park." Townsend said his heart was pounding |
| and his legs were like rubber. He drove at high speed back to Long |
| Prairie to report his close encounter. Townsend said the craft took |
| off, looking "just like a flashlight that is turned on and then |
| lifted up from the table with the light at the bottom." That night |
| several hunters in the Long Prairie area claimed to have seen a |
| strong light above them that lit up the ground. Other hunters |
| reported seeing a lighted object circle around and around in the sky |
| over their farm. (Sources: Bob Gribble, Looking Back October 1965, |
| National UFO Reporting Center website; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 712, citing Flying Saucer |
| Review). |
| |
| 1966 - In Adelaide, South Australia at 2:30 a.m. a bright oval-shaped |
| object with a cone shape beneath it hung stationary in the sky at |
| 20-degrees elevation above the horizon. It glowed a bright |
| orange-yellow color. A "sodium-light" yellow colored object flew |
| toward the northeast over Burnside, South Australia at 8:25 p.m. |
| After four minutes of flight it slowed down and turned toward the |
| north. It descended, gained speed and was gone by 8:35 p.m. (Source: |
| Michael Hervey, UFOs over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 177). |
| |
| 1969 - A dark or invisible object with lights fore and aft hovered |
| over the beach at Highcliffe, England at night. It turned and flew |
| away. (Source: FSR, March 1970, p. 31). |
| |
| 1972 - An odd humming sound was heard in Balboa Park in San Diego, |
| California. Although he couldn't see anything, the witness took |
| photographs of a canyon in the direction from which the noise |
| originated. On the developed photographs there was an image of an |
| ovoid object. (Source: Contact UK; UFO Register, volume 9, 1978). |
| |
| 1972 - At around 6 p.m. a yellow and red bullet-shaped UFO approached |
| an airliner that was flying 160 miles northeast of Churchill, |
| Manitoba. There was a very intense beam coming from in front of the |
| object. and exhaust with orange sparks coming from the rear. The |
| airliner's radio failed to work during the encounter. Finally, a fog |
| appeared from nowhere, obscuring the object. There were 15 witnesses, |
| including 40-year-old Daryl Brown. The encounter lasted three |
| minutes. (Source: UNICAT database, case #492, citing Jeff Holt, UFO |
| Quebec). |
| |
| 1973 - In the morning in Russell Springs, Kentucky a woman |
| encountered two three-foot tall, reddish-skinned humanoids who were |
| near her house. The beings were first seen in her carport, and they |
| walked around the side of the house and entered a washtub-shaped |
| craft sitting on the ground, which then rose over the house and |
| disappeared. The little men were reddish and walked as if on tiptoes. |
| The ground was disturbed where the craft had been sitting. (Sources: |
| Russell Springs (KY) Times Journal, October 24, 1973; David F. Webb & |
| Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-57; |

| Physical Traces Associated with UFO Sightings, p. 95; Richard Hall, |
| The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 344). |
| |
| 1973 - Angel hair residue fell on Midway, Texas and was analyzed by |
| the University of Texas. The residue was consistent with Dictyna |
| spider web, but the sample did contain some rare elements such as |
| zinc and lanthanum, so it could have resulted from the mixture of |
| crebellate spider web with some other mystery substance. (Source: |
| International UFO Reporter, October 2001, p. 14). |
| |
| 1973 - On this night near Dobson, North Carolina David Simpson's car |
| engine stopped and the headlights went out when an oval-shaped UFO, |
| 12 feet wide by 8 feet high, landed near his car. A humanoid with |
| eyes "like balls of fire" peered through his window. Afterwards the |
| car's engine and lights came back on spontaneously without his having |
| to touch the ignition switch. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-58; David F. Webb, |
| 1973, The Year of The Humanoids). |
| 1975 - At 9:00 p.m. a cigar-shaped object flew low over a car in |
| Fairfield, Ohio. It extended a rod with four small orange balls at |
| the tip. In York, Pennsylvania four orange lights in a delta |
| formation traveled slowly and silently over the city. At 9:45 p.m. |
| two UFO witnesses in Phoenix, Maryland experienced an episode of |
| missing time. (Sources: J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies case |
| investigation files; George Eberhart, A Geo-Bibliography of |
| Anomalies, p. 796). |
| |
| 1978 - At an open-air motion picture film showing in Kansu Province |
| in China, several Chinese Air Force pilots sighted a large, bright |
| rectangular object at an estimated 21,000-foot altitude. They watched |
| it for two to three minutes. They said it carried intensely bright |
| lights. (Source: FSR, March 1983, p. 24). |
| |
| 1978 - Two photographs were taken at night of an object shaped like a |
| "priest's hat" in Pescara, Italy. It had a very brilliant center with |
| crab-colored edges. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, February 1979, |
| p. 15). |
| |
| 1980 - A high school band was holding practice in the evening at a |
| playing field between Clifton and Morenci, Arizona. They sighted a |
| string of lights shaped in a triangular pattern hovering above them. |
| It would move and stop, then move and stop again. At 8:55 p.m. in |
| Morenci, Arizona a crew of maintenance workers at a copper smelting |
| plant saw a UFO with 12 red lights and a big searchlight on the |
| front. (Source: Philip Imbrogno, Contact of the 5th Kind, pp. 21-22). |
| |
| 1984 - At 8:30 p.m. a disc-shaped object with an amber light on the |
| bottom and red lights in a circle on top of the disc buzzed a witness |
| driving in a car north of Tyrone, Pennsylvania. (Source: APRO |
| Bulletin, January 1986, p. 8). |
| |
| 1987 - Danny Gordon and two friends were driving out from Wytheville |
| toward Fort Chiswell, Virginia on Interstate 81 at 7:30 p.m. looking |
| for UFOs that had been sighted in the area. They saw a large V-shaped |
| object make a 90-degree turn over the highway. It flew silently |
| overhead, changing light colors as if signaling the witnesses. |
| (Source: Danny Gordon, Don't Look Up: The real story behind the |
| Virginia UFO sightings, p. 54). |
| |
| 1992 - Motorists pulled off road to watch yellow ball of light at |
| 12:45 a.m. west of Lake San Marcos in San Diego County, California. |
| The nocturnal light hovered over the road for two minutes, then shot |
| straight up. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, January 1993). |
| |
| 1993 - When Kelly Cahill awoke at 4:30 a.m. in her bed in Gippsland, |
| Victoria, Australia she saw a dark, seven foot tall slender being, |
| that appeared to be naked, leaning over her with its head near |
| Kelly's stomach, as if about to kiss her navel. She screamed, it |
| startled, jumped back, and then vanished. The being had a head much |
| larger than normal, long thin arms and an out of proportion abdomen |
| in relation to its thin frame. (Sources: Kelly Cahill, Encounter, p. |
| 170; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1993, case # 1886, |
| citing Bill Chalker, International UFO Reporter, Vol. 19, # 5). |

| near Keighley, West Yorkshire, England. They were the color of silver |
| ball-bearings with rings of lights. (Source: UFO Magazine, January |
| 2000, p. 13). |
| |
| 1999 - In Haywood, California at shortly after 9:00 p.m. a vertical |
| column with three lights in a line moved silently across the sky. It |

| October 1999 webpage). |
| |
| 2002 - In Woodbridge, Suffolk, England a large silver triangle-shaped |
| object was sighted at 7:04 a.m., which then changed shape. It was |
| clouded in a pink and green haze. (Source: British Ministry of |

| disappear from sight at 7000 feet altitude. Twenty-seven minutes |
| later a KLM 747-400 flying 38 nautical miles off the west coast of |
| Ireland at 41,000 feet was paced by a bright red UFO. It stopped |
| mid-air at the same altitude as the Dutch airliner, copied the 747's |
