|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  October 17 |
| |
| 1952 - At 12:50 a.m. in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, Alpes-Maritimes, France |
| a whitish cylinder-shaped UFO hovered at a 45 degree angle in the sky |
| with 30 other UFOs in front of it. Through binoculars the small |
| objects were made out to be red spheres with a yellow ring around |
| them. Angel hair filament material fell to the ground. The fibers |
| resembled wool or nylon strands, except when balled together became |
| gelatinous, and sublimed. (Source: Aime Michel, The Truth About |
| Flying Saucers, p. 153; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 100; |
| Jacques Vallee, Anatomy of a Phenomenon, p. 62; Roberto Pinotti, FSR, |
| May-June1970, p. 7; UNICAT, case 641) |
| |
| 1952 - At 9:15 p.m. in Taos, New Mexico four USAF officers observed a round, |
| bright blue light moved from north to northeast at an elevation of 45 |
| degrees for 2-3 seconds and then burnt out. (Source: Don Berliner, |
| Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - In Killeen, Texas two ministers, Reverends Greenwalt and |
| Kluck, sighted ten lights, or a rectangle of lights, moving more or |
| less straight and level through the sky for 5 seconds at 10:15 p.m. |
| (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - At 11:00 p.m. in Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico a military |
| witness sighted what looked like a white streamer move in an arc |
| through the sky at an estimated 3,000 mph. The sighting lasted for 20 |
| seconds. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1954 - Leon B., a city councilor in St-Cyr-sur-Mer, France saw a |
| circular, orange craft take off from the ground. (Source: Jacques |
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 232). |
| |
| 1954 - Manuel Madeira saw a landed object while out hunting in O |
| Alvito, Portugal. It took off and flew away as he approached it, rose |
| quickly into the sky, and was lost to sight. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 232, case 278). |
| |
| 1954 - In Cabasson, France a 65-year-old man was hunting with his dog |
| at 2:30 p.m. near the junction of the Brillance Canal and the Durance |
| River. He saw a gray object, about four meters long and one meter |
| high on the ground and 40 meters away. It had a dome from which two |
| helmeted figures emerged. The witness fled, but his dog started |
| toward the object. The dog soon retreated, walking awkwardly as if |
| partially paralyzed. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, p. 232, case 279; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # A0310). |
| |
| 1954 - A man was returning from fishing along the canal at Reims, |
| Marne, France in the earlty evening when he saw a brightly lit |
| cigar-shaped object resting on the grass near the canal. As he |
| approached he saw it was about 26 feet long and 7 feet high. From one |
| end came “phosphorescent” lights, which reflected on the metallic |
| hull of the object. A door appeared from which emerged three hairy |
| dwarves, about 3 feet 9 inches tall, walking “crab-wise,” or |
| sideways. Then an even smaller being, a little more than a meter tall |
| appeared, whose lower legs appeared transparent. The witness tried to |
| get closer, but the beings rushed back inside the object at |
| surprising speed. Just then the witness was paralyzed by a red beam |
| of light coming from a porthole in the craft, which turned |
| yellow. The object took off and flew rapidly towards Tinquex. The |
| witness was then able to recover his freedom of movement. (Sources: |
| David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, |
| case # 1954-31 (A0340); Jean Sider, Dossier 1954 et l'Imposture |
| Rationaliste, p. 206). |
| |
| 1954 - At 8:30 p.m. three witnesses in Dole Gray, Jura department, |
| France reported watching a luminous object maneuver in the sky, |
| changing colors for ten minutes. Each color lasted several minutes. |
| It finally shot away at high speed. (Source: Aime Michel, Flying |
| Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 187). |
| |
| 1954 - At 8:30 p.m. in Varigney, Haute-Saone department, France |
| several witnesses, among them policeman Beuclair, saw a bright red |
| dome-shaped object descend to ground level 20 meters away. The |
| underside displayed red and white lights. (Sources: Aime Michel, |
| Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 188; Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 232, case 280; Thomas |
| M. Olsen, The Reference for Outstanding UFO Reports, case 56). |
| |
| 1954 - At 7:20 p.m. a luminous orb descended over Naples, Italy. It |
| stopped and hovered just five meters above the ground. It rose again, |
| then flew away to the north, generating a great deal of national |
| excitement and press coverage. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case # 3977). |
| |
| 1954 - Cape Massulo, Italy. On the Isle of Capri an artist, Raffael |
| Castelle, saw a disc five meters in diameter land on the property of |
| Curzio Malaparte on this night. Upon approaching it he discovered it |
| was not a helicopter as he first thought, and he saw four dwarfs |
| wearing coveralls emerge from it. After 30 minutes the craft made a |
| soft whirring sound and rose vertically, leaving blue sparks. |
| (Sources: France Soir, October 20, 1954; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 232-233, case # 281; David F. Webb |
| & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| # 1954-103 (A0311) ). |
| |
| 1954 - At 10:00 p.m. several people in the town of Ascoli Pisceno, |
| Marche, Italy witnessed an umbrella-shaped disc that slowed down, |
| then shot straight up vertically. (Source: Maurizio Verga, ITACAT, |
| citing Voce Adriatic). |
| |
| 1965 - A domed, disc-shaped object with red lights around the edge |
| zig-zagged below the clouds in Tully, Queensland, Australia on this |
| day. It had landing gear displayed underneath. At 7:45 p.m. a Mr. |
| Cock witnessed a flight of seven UFOs which passed overhead, then |
| circled the city of Cairns, Queensland. They did not keep in a |
| perfect line, but 1-2 dropped out of place from time to time. They |
| flew off to the west. (Source:  Michael Hervey, UFOs over the |
| Southern Hemisphere, p. 152, 155). |
| |
| 1965 - At 7:15 p.m. a couple saw four disc-shaped objects flying in a |
| half wing formation pass over La Jolla, California.  (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, report uploaded April 16, |
| 2005). |
| |
| 1966 - Two bright red lights with dim bluish white lights in between, |
| which moved as if attached to one object, passed directly overhead in |
| Chelmsford, Massachusetts at 9:05 p.m. (Source: Raymond E. Folwer, |
| UFOs:  Interplanetary Visitors, p. 342). |
| |
| 1967 - On this day in Shillong, India an object at 500 feet altitude |
| swooped down to ground level and damaged vegetation, then "sucked and |
| churned the water" over a pond. It finally sped off. There were many |
| witnesses to the event. (Source: Ivan T. Sanderson, Invisible |
| Residents, p. 228). |
| |
| 1967 - At 10:00 p.m. a large orange ball hovered over a corral in |
| Roosevelt, Utah. In a few minutes it was joined by a second one. They |
| left together flying to the east and out of sight. (Source: Frank B. |
| Salisbury, The Utah UFO Display, Appendix case 54). |
| |
| 1970 - A very large, shiny ovoid object like a giant mirror in the |
| sky was observed for a few seconds over Castel, South Guernsey |
| Island, The Channel Islands, Great Britain. It rapidly shrank down to |
| a small ball and vanished. The sky then turned pink. There were three |
| witnesses in their twenties, named Gavey and Page. The sighting |
| lasted several seconds. (Sources: Guernsey Evening Post, October 19, |
| 1970; FSR, January-February 1971, p. 32). |
| |
| 1971 - Two boys in Leicester, England reported that they witnessed an |
| object in the sky that bobbed up-and-down starting at 6:30 p.m. It |
| turned red in color when it ascended, then turned white when it |
| descended. When white it was so bright it hurt their eyes. They |
| watched for 10 minutes before it went behind a tree. (Source: Mrs. K. |
| Smith, BUFORA Journal, July 1972, p. 28). |
| |
| 1973 - There are 113 cases recorded in the UFOCAT database of UFO |
| reports and close encounters on this day and night. There was one |
| from Sweden and two from England, and the rest were from the United |
| States. The common perception was that the UFO wave was concentrated |
| in the South and the Midwestern States, but there were 10 reports |
| from California including six close encounters. The state with the |
| most reports was Tennessee, with 16, followed by Ohio, with 15. |
| Robert Gribble's UFO Reporting Center in Seattle, Washington received |
| many reports, including a landing report with traces in Uniontown, |
| Ohio at 7 p.m. and a vehicle interference CE-II report from Midland, |
| Ohio at 8:30 p.m. At 7 p.m. CDT a car was also pursued south of |
| Memphis, Tennessee by a metallic UFO emitting a beam of light. There |
| were also aircraft UFO close encounters over Anaheim, California at 2 |
| p.m.; Shreveport, Louisiana on this evening; and Johnson City, |
| Tennessee at 9 p.m. |
| |
| 1973 - Shortly after midnight Pat Roach and her children Bonnie and |
| Debbie were abducted and taken aboard a UFO in Lehi, Utah. They |
| experienced 45 minutes of missing time; they found they had pin-prick |
| like marks in a triangle on their arms, and recalled going through |
| physical examinations. Debbie was ill at the time, and reportedly was |
| healed as a result of her abduction experience. (Sources: John F. |
| Schuessler, UFO-Related Human Physiological Effects, p. 57; Coral & |
| Jim Lorenzen, Encounters with UFO Occupants, p. 340, based on |
| investigation by James Harder). |
| |
| 1973 - At three o'clock in the morning a woman in Pikesville, |
| Maryland was awakened by a sound like an explosion. She heard a loud |
| humming sound, walked out onto her front porch. There she saw a red, |
| transparent ovoid object, 15 feet long and 6-8 feet high. On top was |
| a bubble. Inside she saw a human figure standing up. Eighteen hours |
| later, at 9 p.m. in Warner Robins, Georgia a cigar-shaped object |
| chased a vehicle, making a humming sound. (Source: David F. Webb & |
| Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-38; |
| David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The Humanoids). |
| |
| 1973 - At 5:40 a.m. near Crooked Mountain, Pennsylvania a small |
| circular object with rotating lights hovered over a car being driven |
| by a 47-year-old man. It caused the interior of the car to heat up. |
| The car spun around 180 degrees although the driver had not turned |
| the steering wheel. (Sources: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving |
| Vehicle Interference, p. 58; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, |
| Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, p. 274). |
| |
| 1973 - A circular, copper-colored UFO hovered just off the ground in |
| Watauga, Tennessee on this afternoon while a six foot tall being |
| reached out of a doorway and tried to grab two children. It had two |
| claw-like hands and blinking eyes. At least six other reports of UFOs |
| came from the same area on the same day. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-40; David |
| F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The Humanoids). |
| 1973 - On this evening a silver colored, oval-shaped object landed on |
| US Route 29 near Danielsville, Georgia about 300 feet ahead of Paul |
| Brown's car, forcing him to make an immediate stop. Two small 4 1/2 |
| foot tall beings clad in silver suits and white gloves appeared |
| underneath the UFO. They had reddish faces and white hair. When Mr. |
| Brown stepped halfway out of his car with a gun in his hand the |
| beings turned and re-entered the craft, which took off with a |
| whooshing sound. Brown fired several shots at it with no apparent |
| effect. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case 1973-42; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The |
| Humanoids). |
| 1973 - A 50 foot wide UFO hovered two to three feet above Highway 82 |
| near Eupora, Mississippi at twilight, seemingly suspended on a "beam |
| of light." The primary witness's car lights and engine died when it |
| was 100 yards from the craft. Another car stopped just behind him. A |
| second UFO hovered about 60 feet above the first, illuminating it |
| with a light. Both craft were similar in appearance, like inverted |
| cups, and had greenish blue flashing lights. A catfish like creature |
| came out from the top of the lower UFO, holding onto a handrail. It |
| had gray, fish-like skin, a wide mouth, one glowing eye, flipper like |
| feet and webbing between its legs like a "flying squirrel." It had |
| feather like objects on its back, which opened and closed when it |
| moved. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case 1973-44; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The |
| Humanoids). |
| 1973 - Two men were driving on Route 23 toward New York City from |
| work when they saw a large, round, silver craft hovering over a field |
| near Wayne, New Jersey. The UFO landed, so they stopped and got out |
| of their car. But then the driver then got scared and he decided to |
| drive off. The other man stayed behind and conversed with seven |
| human-like beings, four men and three women, who got out of the UFO. |
| (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case 1973-39; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The |
| Humanoids). |
| 1973 - Later this same night Police Chief Jeff Greenhaw of Falkville, |
| Alabama photographed a 5 1/2 foot tall being in a crinkly looking |
| silvery suit after investigating a reported UFO landing. The Chief |
| stopped his car in the road and the thing moved slowly like a robot |
| toward the car. When 10 feet away it turned and began running. The |
| Chief pursued it in his patrol car, but the being accelerated and |
| disappeared when the car spun off the road. "He was running in a very |
| odd manner, from side to side, arms down to his sides, and it looked |
| as if he had springs under his feet to propel him. He could take 10 |
| feet in one leap." The photo is regarded by some UFO investigators as |
| a hoax, as showing a man wrapped in aluminum foil. (Source: David F. |
| Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1973-41; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The Humanoids). |
| 1973 - Late on this night Clarence Patterson said he and his pickup |
| truck were sucked up into a huge cigar-shaped object with a green |
| light near Loxley, Alabama. He was pulled out of the truck by six |
| robot-like beings that seemed to read his mind. The next thing he |
| remembered he was back on the highway going about 90 mph in the |
| truck. He may have been onboard for up to 30 minutes. A sulphur-like |
| smell was noted during the encounter. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-43; David |
| F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The Humanoids). |

| Akita, Japan Airport Golden Disc Sighting - 1976 |
| |
| [Sketch of Akita, Japan UFO - 1975] |
| |
| 1976 - At 10:40 a.m. at Akita Airport, Japan Captain Masara Saito, |
| age 34, an airline pilot for Toa Airlines, situated in an airliner on |
| the runway and preparing to takeoff, and the control tower observed a |
| glowing yellow disc, like two plates rim-to-rim. It hovered to the |
| south near the airport for five minutes, then flew away toward the |
| sea. Over 50 people witnessed the UFO. The object was estimated to be |
| 16 feet in diameter, at an estimated altitude of 1500 meters from the |
| ground. "It was something I had never seen before," said Captain |
| Saito. Tazawa Takumi, air traffic controller on duty, who observed |
| the object through binoculars, said it looked like "two plates placed |
| together, with the top one inverted." (Sources: Robert Gribble, MUFON |
| UFO Journal, October 1991, p. 22; National Enquirer, January 4, 1977; |
| Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, |
| p. 134). |
| |
| 1977 - Uccle, Belgium. On this evening a blinding red nocturnal |
| light hovered silently for an hour. Then it went to the west, turned |
| to the north, and had two more nocturnal lights circling it. |
| (Sources: International UFO Reporter, March 1978, p. 2; Richard F. |
| Haines, Project Delta, p. 191, UNICAT, case # 176). |
| |
| 1981 - Abel Boro was hunting with his friend Ribamar Ferreira in the |
| rain forest in Matoes, near Parnarama, Maranhao State, Brazil when |
| they saw a bright star that descended and hovered over the two |
| terrified men, focusing its light on Boro. He climbed a tree and |
| Ferreira ran away. The object hovered over the tree, spinning around |
| and doing something bad to Boro, who was shaking with fear. His body |
| was glittering. When Ferreira came back with help, Boro was dead; his |
| body was all white and he reportedly didn't have a drop of blood left |
| in him. (Sources: John F. Schuessler, UFO-Related Human Physiological |
| Effects, p. 95; National Enquirer, December 29, 1981; FSR, March |
| 1989; Jacques Vallee, Confrontations: A Scientist's Search for Alien |
| Contact, p. 188). |
| |
| 1983 - At 6:50 p.m. an oyster-shaped object passed over a house at |
| 2000 feet altitude in Bedhampton, Hampshire, England. It was |
| described as silent, very bright, with five lights by the two |
| witnesses, two men named Woods and Waters. (Source: Doris Graziano, |
| APRO Bulletin, July 1984, p. 8). |
| |
| 1992 - At 4:00 p.m. a large green, vertical, cylindrical object with |
| thin legs was sighted moving north between Chichester and Midhurst, |
| West Sussex, England. It moved slowly at 30 mph at only 100 feet |
| altitude. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, January 1993). |
| |
| 1993 - At 10:00 a.m. an eleven-year-old girl and her cousin saw a |
| gray, saucer-shaped object  with lights on the bottom in |
| Connersville, Indiana. Three lights emerged from a fog and circled a |
| field for three minutes. (Source: T. David Spencer & Donald Worley, |
| MUFON UFO Journal, January 1995, p. 16). |
| |
| 1999 - At 8:25 p.m. two cylinder-shaped crafts were seen maneuvering |
| over a road near Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Two vehicles stalled |
| as the objects approached and several of the witnesses felt dizzy in |
| the presence of the objects. The objects were silver in color and |
| highly polished. Each object had a row of about 13 yellow-orange |
| lights. There was also a blue haze around one of the objects. Also, |
| at least two silhouettes of humanoid beings with large heads were |
| seen in each of the crafts. The eyes of the beings were red and |
| fiery, and were like slits. The UFOs did not land, but hovered just |
| above the ground. There was a sudden sound like thunder, and the |
| objects abruptly vanished. Scorch marks were reported to be found on |
| the ground near where the objects had hovered. (Sources: Albert S. |
| Rosales, 1999 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, citing Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). |
| |
| 2005 - In Welland, Niagara County, Ontario three witnesses reported |
| seeing a bright white light at 7:00 p.m., which when it approached |
| turned out to be a triangular craft with three lights on the bottom. |
| It made no noise, and had red, blue and little white lights on it. |
| The object rose up into the clouds. The sighting lasted 15-20 |
| seconds. (Sources: Geoff Dittman, 2005 Canadian UFO Survey, case # |
| 101; Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, October 2005 |
