|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  April 25 |
| |
| 1897 - People returning from church in Merkel, Texas observed a heavy |
| object being dragged along the ground by a rope attached to a flying |
| craft. The rope got caught in a railroad track. The craft was too |
| high for its structure to be visible but protrusions and a light |
| could be distinguished. After about ten minutes a man came down along |
| the rope and cut the end free. He climbed back aboard the craft, |
| which flew away toward the northeast. The man was small and dressed |
| in a light blue uniform. (Sources: Houston Daily Post, April 28, |
| 1897; Donald B. Hanlon, Flying Saucer Review, January-February 1967, |
| p. 24; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. |
| 185). |
| |
| 1898 - Astronomer Michailovitch at the Belgrade Observatory in |
| Serbia, Yugoslavia sighted a fireball at 9:32 p.m. that stopped still |
| in the sky and hovered in one spot for six minutes before continuing |
| on. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Anatomy of a Phenomenon, p. 17; Ion |
| Hobana & Julien Weverbergh, UFOs from Behind the Iron Curtain, p. |
| 196). |
| |
| 1950 - A series of unknown lights and UFOs where seen near the Dugway |
| Proving Grounds in Utah. A "flying icebox," surrounded by an aura of |
| spears was seen over the Ammunition Storage Area near Dougway |
| Mountain at 3:00 a.m. A 24-hour search of the area ensued. (Sources: |
| Larry Hatch, U computer database, Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. |
| 1950: April-July, p. 34). |
| |
| 1950 - At 4:00 p.m. a 200 foot long cone-shaped device flew over the |
| Vancouver, British Columbia airport at 15,000 feet altitude, and |
| there were many calls to the police and news media. A white substance |
| hung about the tail of the object but it left no condensation trail. |
| The sighting lasted one minute. (Sources: The Oregonian, April 26, |
| 1950; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: April-July, p. 35). |
| |
| 1952 - At three a.m. a shining white metallic disc with legs, a |
| ladder, a tube, and a transparent dome landed in the Serchio River in |
| Liguria, Italy. It shot red beams of light at the witnesses, who were |
| able to avoid being hit by them by jumping into a ditch. (Source: |
| Marco Marianti, FSR, June 1977, p. 31). |
| |
| 1954 - Three trained weather observers at Kadena Air Force Base in |
| Kadena, Japan sighted bluish-white circular objects overhead at 11:30 |
| p.m. The USAF specialists named Spillem, Duracher, and Conner watched |
| the UFOs make two circles,  then zigzag to the south. They made |
| another circle, and then went off to the southeast. Circular, |
| bluish-white in color. No sound, no radar tracks, no balloons aloft. |
| |
| 1959 - Luis Da Silva saw a "red hot" colored disc in the sky on the |
| evening of April 23rd in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Around midnight of April |
| 23-24 he awoke and felt the need to go outside to the garden. There |
| he found a noted that told him to return the following night at 1:30 |
| a.m. When he did so, a circular UFO appeared in the air 300 feet |
| above the ground, and he felt himself paralyzed. A man descended from |
| the UFO in a slow spiral, but when he reached the ground he stopped |
| above it and his feet did not quite touch the ground. He wore a |
| helmet and some form of plastic clothing, and gloves looking like |
| they were made of a transparent, glass material. He told Da Silva to |
| return on Thursday at 2:05 a.m., and then re-ascended in a spiral |
| into the craft. On Thursday the same sequence of events occurred, but |
| the next time three entities descended in sequence. The last one of |
| these men asked Da Silva for a piece of paper, and inscribed upon it |
| a message of some kind, written in indescipherable markings. |
| (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case 1959-07, citing Dr. Walter Buhler; Flying Saucer |
| Review, May-June 1967, p. 7). |
| |
| 1960 - Mrs. M. Clark of Shelby, Montana saw five circular or round |
| objects fly in a trail formation, hover, accelerate, and make sharp |
| turns. A strong white light beam shone down from the balls of light |
| (BOL), which had a red glow. They flew at a low altitude, and made |
| sharp turns. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case # 6727; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook Unknowns; |
| Lloyd Mallan, Official Guide to UFOs, p. 18). |

| |
| 1966 - On this night at around 8:15 p.m. two motorists in Towanda, |
| Pennsylvania felt heat and had their car engine and headlights fail |
| when they encountered a UFO with four portholes hovering about 350 |
| feet away, with flames shooting off of it. (Sources: Timothy Green |
| Beckley, Flying Saucers, December 1969, p. 21; Berthold E. Schwarz, |
| Beyond Condon: FSR Special Edition No. 2, p. 46; Mark Rodeghier, UFO |
| Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 29). |
| |
| 1966 - At 8:52 p.m. EDT the governor of Florida's plane was paced by |
| two UFOs over Ocala, Florida. The crew and passengers of the Convair |
| aircraft carrying Florida Governor Haydon Burns sighted two |
| apparently connected bright yellow or yellow-orange globe-shaped |
| objects that paced the plane for about 40 miles. Witnesses included |
| newsmen and state officials. When Burns ordered his pilot to turn |
| toward the UFOs, they climbed steeply and disappeared. (Sources: Palm |
| Beach Post, April 28, 1966; NICAP UFO Investigator, May-June 1966. p. |
| 3; Frank Edwards, Flying Saucers Here and Now, p. 59; Richard H. |
| Hall, The UFO Evidence Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 117). |
| |
| 1968 - A "saucer nest" crop circle was found in sugar cane near West |
| Cairns, Queensland, Australia. It was oval in shape, 70 feet by 36 |
| feet. (Sources: Stan Seers, FSR, May-June 1969, p. 4; Ted R. |
| Phillips, Physical Traces Associated with UFO Sightings, case 321). |
| |
| 1969 - At 7:30 p.m. a ten-meter diameter disc-shaped object was seen |
| hovering over a park in Greenacre, New South Wales, Australia by |
| three witnesses. A Greenacre woman, Mrs. Froml, and her 13-year old |
| daughter were going home by taxi. When they passed Roberts Park they |
| saw the object hovering over a playing field lit by floodlights, |
| where some youths were playing football. The floodlights formed a |
| kind of ceiling over the field and it was unlikely that had any of |
| the players looked up, they would have seen anything. The object was |
| football shaped, the top was transparent, and the bottom was a |
| greenish metallic color, like gun metal. It had an interior light |
| that was "the brightest blue imaginable," and the bottom portion had |
| three large transparent holes. The object was tilted downward, and |
| inside the object could be seen three tall humanoid figures, over six |
| feet tall. in the transparent upper half of the UFO. One pointed down |
| at the witnesses and then turned toward a rectangular, lighted area, |
| apparently working some controls. Mrs Froml asked the cabbie, a Greek |
| immigrant, to stop the taxi, but instead he accelerated away from the |
| park and drove straight to her home. After he dropped her and her |
| daughter off, he left in a frightened state, without collecting his |
| fare. (Sources: Bill Chalker, The Oz Files, p. 126; David F. Webb & |
| Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A1112, |
| citing Keith Basterfield and investigator David Reneke). |
| |
| 1971 - About 9:00 p.m. a woman near Pottstown, Pennsylvania spotted a |
| luminous object over a farmer's field while driving on a rural road. |
| It was a very bright, pulsating light. It would move and stop, move |
| and stop, in a jerking manner. She first thought the object was |
| something conventional like an aircraft light, but its strange motion |
| seemed to belie that explanation. The woman stopped the car next to |
| the field and just studied the object. The object was about as high |
| as the light on a radio tower. She rolled down her window see if |
| there was any engine noise, but there was none. (Source: NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, May 1971, page 3) |
| |
| 1974 - A domed disc-shaped object hovered nearby an apartment |
| building in Marcinelle, Belgium at 10:30 p.m. It inclined toward the |
| witness, a single woman named Bouchez who was inside the building, |
| and then shot three beams of light over the apartment building. |
| (Source: Michel Abrassart, Inforespace, June 1975, p. 41). |
| |
| 1975 - Three events occurred in Rugles, Eure, France during this |
| remarkable experience that lasted over an hour, beginning at 9:30 |
| p.m. First, a meteor was seen shooting through the sky. Next, a 40 |
| meter diameter dome with a  smaller disc was seen. Finally, a small |
| glowing dome appeared inside a room. (Source: GEPA Phenomenes |
| Spatiaux, September 1975). |
| |
| 1976 - At 10:30 p.m. a 12 meter in diameter UFO crossed the road in |
| front of a car being driven by a Mr. Y. Vandenbroek in Tervuren, |
| Belgium, at an altitude of 100 meters. Suddenly four searchlights |
| were turned on inside the object, and directed at the ground. The |
| object moved silently, tilted at an angle after five minutes, and |
| moved away slowly. There were eight witnesses from four separate |
| families. (Source: Rudy de Groote, UFO Register, volume 7 (1976), p. |
| 31, citing the Gazzette Antwerpen). |
| |
| 1977 - At 3:50 a.m. eight soldiers on a military patrol on the Pampa |
| Lluscuma, Chile suddenly saw a bright light nearby. The soldiers' dog |
| and horses remained still while the lights hovered nearby. The leader |
| of the group, Corporal Armando Valdes, ordered the other soldiers to |
| put out their campfire. The two large lights were about 800 meters |
| away, and hovering close to the ground. Cpl. Valdes approached the |
| lights, ordering them to identify themselves. At this point a bright |
| light enveloped Valdes and he vanished in plain view of the others. |
| The others began frantically searching for him but they were unable |
| to find him. At around 4:15 a.m. Valdes suddenly reappeared. He had a |
| strange look on his face and he emitted a sinister laugh, asking |
| several times where his mother was. Then he said, again in a very |
| sinister sounding voice, "you will never know who we are and where we |
| come from." |
| |
| The others noticed that he appeared to have a week's growth of beard, |
| whereas he had been clean-shaven just an hour ago, and his digital |
| watch indicated the impossible date of April 30. He was almost in |
| hysterics and one of the soldiers had to slap him, at which point he |
| fainted. One of the other soldiers, Raul Salinas, who had been |
| standing a few meters back of the others, noticed a strange humanoid |
| creature behind some nearby rocks. He described it as half animal and |
| half human; no facial features were visible, but it seemed to be |
| wearing a helmet and was carrying a red light. Salinas was stunned to |
| see the creature appear at several places simultaneously, he thought |
| that maybe it could have been several humanoids. He did not mention |
| this to the others at the time, since they were already scared, but |
| the others did not see the humanoid or humanoids. When Valdes woke up |
| he could not remember where he had been. It is assumed the Chilean |
| military conducted various medical tests on Valdes. (Source: Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1977, case # 3062, citing Diego |
| Contreras & Raul Nunez). |
| |
| 1978 - At 2:15 a.m. a UFO with an inside occupant was sighted by a |
| Mr. Hake while driving along Highway 83 in Baltimore, Maryland. The |
| close encounter lasted several minutes. (Source: CUFOS files, report |
| received in 1978). |
| |
| 1978 - At 2:30 in the afternoon the witness was in her kitchen in |
| Villamare Di Sapri, Italy when she noticed a large luminous sphere; |
| clear in color descend to the ground nearby. The witness went to |
| fetch a camera. At this point the sphere seemed to shrink in size and |
| a short being wearing a bright orange coverall type suit stepped out. |
| The being walked around looking in all directions. Its face appeared |
| brighter than the rest of the body and it had human like features. On |
| its head it wore a cone-shaped device or cap. It moved in short steps |
| and bounds. This apparently frightened the witness who yelled for her |
| husband. The being glanced at the witness and then ran behind a |
| nearby tree stump. A thick fog then began forming in the area and |
| simultaneously the luminous sphere shrank in size and dissolved into |
| nothing. The being apparently disappeared also. (Sources: Lumieres |
| dans la Nuit, issue # 207 (July 1981); Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database, case # 1536; Maurizio Verga, ITACAT Italian UFO |
| Catalogue). |
| |
| 1978 - At 7:00 p.m.a witness on the shore in Vittorio, Sicily, Italy |
| observed through binoculars a glowing "boat"  5 kilometers offshore. |
| It then ascends, and hovers in the sky for 45 minutes. It had two |
| antennas at the ends of the object. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| July 1981). |
| |
| 1978 - Later that same day UFO investigator Pat De La Franier was in |
| his office in Stratford, Ontario going over some UFO reports when |
| there was a sudden knock at the door. Where his office is located he |
| could ordinarily hear everyone coming through the main door when |
| admitted through the security door, and then hear their footsteps |
| walking down the hall. But this knock came abruptly, and when he |
| opened the door there was a very odd-looking man standing there. He |
| was dressed entirely in black. He was about five and a half feet |
| tall, extremely thin, with a somewhat unusually large head. His hair |
| looked like it had been completely shaved and the hair was just |
| growing back. His skin had an unusual olive hue. His lips were very |
| thin and his cheeks were sunken in. His eyes were dark and so |
| elongated that they literally wrapped around his temples. La Franier |
| had never seen eyes like that, "They just bored into me". The |
| stranger just stood there staring at him. La Franier was fixated by |
| his eyes and he felt somehow intruded upon on a mental level. After a |
| full minute the man spoke. "Would you like a photograph of your |
| family?" It was a strange question, and his voice was very strange, |
| too. It was low and hesitant as if this man had absolutely a poor |
| conception of how to put a sentence together. The English was |
| flawless, but he struggle to get through the sentence. La Franier |
| said no, he did not need any more pictures. And with that the |
| stranger stepped back, turned and just disappeared. The man was |
| completely gone. Later La Franier discovered that many of his papers |
| were missing. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database, |
| citing Susan Michaels, Sightings: UFOs). |
| |
| 1981 - In Beijing, China at 7:00 a.m. a bullet-shaped ellipsoid, with |
| the middle of the object white and the bottom green, glowed and hung |
| in the sky in a vertical position. It moved slowly, then stopped, and |
| finally shot away fast. The sighting lasted 25 minutes. (Source: |
| Timothy Good, Above Top Secret, p. 216). |
| |
| 1981 - At 3:54 a.m. a dog barked excitedly at the same time a married |
| couple saw a bright light hovering over some nearby woods in |
| Ottoville, Ohio. The object repeatedly moved up-and-down as it |
| remained in one part of the sky. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, |
| July 1981, p. 3, citing the Putnam County Sentinel, April 29, 1981). |
| |
| 1982 - Three people in a car in Clare, South Australia noticed a red |
| glow in the sky at 8:30 p.m. It approached and followed their car for |
| three kilometers. It was described as a ball of fire with white |
| streaks through it. (Source: Keith Basterfield case files, citing The |
| Advertiser, April 27, 1982). |
| |
| 1984 - At 5:30 p.m. a silver colored, 150 foot long, bulbous-shaped |
| object with a long tail hung in the sky, rocking back and forth 80 |
| feet above the ground over a garden in Blairgowrie, The Orkney |
| Islands, Scotland. Mrs. Freeman's dog cowered, and she was |
| temporarily blinded by a ball of light from the object that struck |
| her and entered her body, and she felt the warmth emitted by it but |
| at the same time felt a sensation of calm. A beam of light flowed |
| upward from the object. After a few minutes the object vanished in a |
| pink flash. (Sources: Ron Halliday, UFO Scotland: The Secret History |
| of Scotland's UFO Phenomenon, p. 125; Jenny Randles, International |
| UFO Reporter, March 1986, p. 7). |
| |
| 1984 - Structural details of a UFO were observed by three witnesses |
| in a car as the UFO passed over them at 100 feet while they were |
| driving down American Canyon Road in Napa, California. The UFO was |
| first seen at 9:55 p.m., and described as delta shaped and over 300 |
| feet wide. It flew away up the canyon, and was in sight for five |
| minutes. (Sources: Robert Gribble, International UFO Reporter, May |
| 1984, p. 16; MUFON UFO Journal, May 1984). |
| |
| 1993 - A six meter diameter white glowing disc was seen revolving |
| clockwise over the road in Petit Palais, Gironde, France by two |
| witnesses at 11:40 p.m. It followed their car for 50 kilometers. |
| (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 16030, citing |
| Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 341). |
| |
| 1994 - A large disc-shaped craft landed in a field 25 miles from |
| Great Falls, Montana at 10:30 p.m. It was seen by several witnesses. |
| It was described as being the size of a jeep, with flashing red and |
| blue lights. When witnesses flashed car headlights at it, it flashed |
| a brilliant white light, and then shot straight up and away. (Source: |
| Richard F. Haines, CE-5: Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, pp. 87 & |
| 157, citing B. Knell). |
| |
| 1995 - A very bright ball of light entered a bedroom in Portland, |
| Oregon at 12:30 a.m. making a loud humming sound. The male witness |
| could feel heat coming from the object, and felt paralyzed. The |
| incident lasted 75 minutes. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case 17219; Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle). |
| |
| 1997 - A man took a photograph of a mountain in St. Barnabe, |
| Alpes-Maritime, France in the early afternoon. After being developed |
| the photograph clearly showed a gray saucer-shaped object that was |
| not witnessed at the time. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, |
| case 17921, citing Lumieres dans la Nuit, June 1997). |
| |
| 1998 - Three friends in Manito, Illinois saw a light, which broke |
| into two disks, and then into three. (Source: Jay Rath, The I-Files: |
| True Reports of Unexplained Phenomena in Illinois, p. 76, citing |
| Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center., April 1998 webpage). |
| |
| 2001 - At 6:10 p.m. a small silver cone-shaped object was seen in the |
| sky over Ajax, Ontario during daylight hours. It had no wings, and |
| flew from the southwest to northwest for 15 to 20 seconds. (Source: |
| Geoff Dittman, 2001 Canadian UFO Survey, case 107, citing NUFORC). |
| |
| 2001 - On this evening a very strange object was reported by |
| civilians and law enforcement officers in Waynesville, Ohio. From |
| their home a husband and wife were the first to report a circular |
| lighted object hovering silently in the southern sky. The big light |
| on the UFO, pulsating and changing in both color and brightness, |
| was encased within a structure that resembled gridwork. The couple |
| called the Lebanon City Police Department around 10:15 p.m. and the |
| Warren County Communications Center dispatched a Waynesville police |
| officer to the location. Upon arrival at the scene the officer |
| confirmed the presence of the object and also reported that a second |
| UFO was also in the area. (Source: www.nicap.org 2001 UFO Chronology, |
| citing Kenny Young). |
| |
| 2001 - In the evening a huge ball of light forty feet above |
| the ground was seen by residents in Scartaglin, Ireland. It moved |
| away giving off blue, yellow and green flashes. (Source: Dermot |
| Butler, Conspiracy of Silence: UFOs in Ireland, p. 103, citing |
| People, April 29, 2001). |
| |
| 2001 - In San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico a bright light was |
| witnessed following a cylindrical nose near the ground at 7:00 p.m. |
| It moving linearly southward without making a noise or leaving a |
| trail. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle, April 2001 webpage). |
| |
| 2001 - At 10:50 p.m. a dark triangle-shaped object with four lights |
| was sighted by a single witness in Powell River, British Columbia |
| travelling from west to east at high speed. The sighting lasted five |
| seconds. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2001 Canadian UFO Survey, case 106, |
| citing NUFORC). |
| |
| 2004 - At 1:20 a.m. a V-shaped object flew past the witness' window |
| in Kelowna, British Columbia so low that it was illuminated by |
| streetlights. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2004 Canadian UFO Survey, |
| case 245, citing HBCCUFO). |
| |
| 2005 - There were two reports of a diamond shaped UFO with four main |
| lights, along with a bunch of small white lines on the underneath |
| part, from Lompoc, California to the National UFO Reporting Center. |
| The sightings occurred at 2:50 a.m. The UFO made a horribly loud, |
| high pitched humming sound. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, Seattle, April 2005 webpage). |
| |
| 2006 - Between 2:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. a teardrop shaped, |
| silver/chrome metallic flying object, 3-4 feet wide by 8 feet to 10 |
| feet long, flew just 50 feet above the witnesses' car while they were |
| driving on east bound I-70, about 50 miles west of Green River, Utah. |
| The buzzing by the object was brief, and lasted only 2-3 seconds. |
| (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, April 2006 |
| webpage, reported June 24, 2006). |
| 2007 - In Northern India (exact location not given), the witness was |
| returning home from work at 2:00 a.m. when suddenly the road in front |
| of him ‘disappeared’ because there was a huge bus-like object with no |
| wheels hovering over the road, blocking it. He then flashed on the |
| car high beams to get a better look, and when he did this the |
| object split in two and there was a very bright flash of light, |
| lighting up everything briefly like daytime. A creature descended |
| from the object and looked at the witness. Terrified, he turned the |
| car’s headlights off, but kept the engine running so he could escape |
| in the event of an attack. However, the being seemed to ignore him. |
| It looked humanoid but was about 7-8 feet tall and quite bulky and |
| hairy like a bear. The head was slightly bigger than that of an |
| average man. It was carrying an instrument that looked like a crystal |
| cube with a handle. It raised the instrument and waved it around |
| briefly, and then took out a box and put the instrument in it. It |
| then approached the witness’s car and as it approached the witness |
| felt heat and a ‘force of high magnitude’. When it was about a meter |
| away from him the man fainted due to the intense pressure he was |
| feeling, like a G-force caused by high speed acceleration. He |
| regained consciousness after 10 minutes, and the creature and the |
| object were gone. There was a depression in the road about one foot |
| in depth and 10-12 feet in diameter, where the UFO had been hovering. |
| The witness rushed home but was unable to sleep. The next day, while |
| going to the office, he stopped at the same spot and noticed that |
| somehow the road had been repaired. (Sources: Peter Davenport, |
