|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  September 16 |
| |
| 1952 - The crew of a U.S. Navy P2V Neptune patrol plane, Boak, |
| Prentis and Hara, flying near Portland, Maine at 6:22 p.m. sighted a |
| dark elongated cigar and a group of five unidentified lights and |
| picked up a long thin blip on radar. Investigators considered whether |
| the crew had sighted a USAF KC-97 aircraft involved in a refueling |
| operation, but decided that this was unlikely. The sighting lasted 20 |
| minutes. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case # 2099; Richard F. Haines, Project Delta, p. 146; |
| Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; Cominique Weinstein, |
| Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 19; UNICAT, case # 746). |
| |
| 1952 - At 7:30 p.m. three Air Force officers and two civilians at |
| Warner-Robbins AFB, Georgia observed two unidentified white lights |
| flying abreast, at a speed of 100 mph, for 15 minutes. (Source: Don |
| Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1954 - At 5:45 p.m. a metallic round flat object, was seen gliding |
| along rapidly in calm air over Le Pin, Isere, France by four |
| witnesses. (Source: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line |
| Mystery, p. 50). |
| |
| 1954 - In Marion, Virginia a radio station transmitter failed as a |
| round shiny UFO passed by the tower. (Source: Richard Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, p. 74). |
| |
| 1955 - Boisseuges, France. A young shepherd heard a whistling sound |
| at 6:00 p.m. as a dark mass appeared to fall from the sky and a rush |
| of air swept him from his feet. The object looked like a machine with |
| an opening where a stairway became visible. Two occupants were seen. |
| One was observed to have a reddish face, a baldhead, and very fine |
| teeth. The craft was round, about 3.5 meters in diameter, and two |
| meters high; it was lighted with a neon-like light. The occupants |
| gathered some plants and flew away to the northwest. (Sources: |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 252 |
| (case 375); Gamard Alain, UFO Register 1978 (volume 7), p. 44). |
| |
| 1957 - At 7:30 p.m. in Smithfield, Queensland, Australia Les |
| McDonald, age 17, and Gladys Smith, age 14, saw a red light changing |
| to green, spreading around them like a mist and covering an area |
| about 100 meters in diameter. They became nearly paralyzed and "felt |
| a warm glow." They had no fear, but were "merely cognizant of things |
| as they were without [the ability] to react." This sensation lasted |
| two minutes. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century |
| of Landings, p. 258 (case 402), citing UFO Bulletin, December 1957). |
| |
| 1962 - On this night a rubber plantation worker in Vila Conceicao, |
| near Barcelos, Amazonas, Brazil saw a round glowing object emitting |
| sparks come down into a clearing in the plantation. Three humanoid |
| beings jumped out, attacked another man, who happened to be a soccer |
| referee, abducted him and took him away. They also stole 17 hens, six |
| pigs, and two cows from the plantation. The UFO shot straight up into |
| the sky when it took off. Neither the man nor the animals were |
| ever returned. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, January 1963, p. 3; FSR, |
| September 1970, p. 28; Brad Sparks, Computer Catalog of Abduction |
| Cases (N=150), case 74; Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions:  The |
| Measure of a Mystery.  Volume 2: Catalogue of Cases, case # 262). |
| |
| 1965 - Pretoria, South Africa. Two police officer witnesses in an |
| approaching car, Lockem and De Klerk, watched in astonishment as a |
| copper-colored, domed disc-shaped UFO, 30 feet in diameter, lifted |
| off from the road in front of them at 12:10 a.m., emitting flames |
| from two tubes on the underside. The physical traces included a |
| burned five foot diameter depression on the macadam road. (Sources: |
| NICAP UFO Investigator, September 1965, p. 5; Richard H. Hall, The |
| UFO Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, pp. 171, 262). |

| |
| 1971 - Radar/visual confirmation. At 8:45 p.m. astronomers and many |
| other witnesses in St. Michel, east of Manosque, Alpes-Haut-Provence, |
| France saw a 12 meter diameter disc-shaped object make maneuvers and |
| turns; it shot off to the northeast. (Source: Aime Michel, FSR Case |
| Histories, February 1972, p. 2; GEPA Phenomenes Spatiaux, September |
| 1971, p. 28, citing LDLN). |
| |
| 1973 -  At 7:30 p.m. a brightly glowing ellipse hovered near a house |
| in Greilickville near Elmwood Township, Michigan. There were four |
| witnesses, including Mr. Peacock. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, Volume II:  A Thirty-Year Report, p. 341; J. Bernard |
| Delair, UFO Register, volume 5 (1974), case 570). |
| |
| 1974 - At around 9:15 p.m. Mrs. Richards was driving north of St |
| Helens, Tasmania, Australia with her two young children when she |
| noticed the sky light up ahead of her. Crossing a bridge, the car |
| then lost power and rolled to a stop. The entire electric system was |
| out, even the heater, radio, headlights and dashboard lights, and an |
| attempt to restart the car failed. Then "a deafening vibrating noise |
| enveloped the car." As she and the children covered their ears, |
| "painful electrical shocks began penetrating their bodies." This went |
| on for about a minute. Next, the car filled with a "choking smell," |
| and they evacuated the car and ran down the road to a house some |
| distance away. The local resident noted their alarmed condition and |
| took them in, and after a short while they all went back to check on |
| their vehicle. The light had gone, and all that was unusual with the |
| car was that its hood was hot. The car started normally, and they |
| drove home. Coincidentally, Mrs. Richards husband was out waiting for |
| them and saw lights in the sky and heard a distant roar. Although the |
| children suffered no subsequent physiological effects, Mrs. Richards |
| had swollen arms, fingers, and became numb on the right side of her |
| face. (Sources: Saturday Evening Mercury, September 21, 1974; W. K. |
| Roberts, FSR, February 1976, p. 22; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports |
| Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 63; Keith Basterfield, UFO |
| Research Australia, March 1982, p. 26). |
| |
| 1974 - On this afternoon west of Dargnies, Somme, France two domed |
| discs were seen on the ground. "Men" were seen working outside the |
| crafts. The objects took off rapidly to the west, and "lava rock" was |
| found at the landing site. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue |
| 339). |
| |
| 1978 - At 2:30 a.m. in Delano, Tennessee a witness saw two |
| humanoid beings with what looked like flashlights in the yard. Then a |
| pink-colored UFO descended, and the figures vanished. (Source: Larry |
| Hatch, U computer database, case # 12827, citing International UFO |
| Reporter, July 1979). |
| |
| 1981 - Mr. Burke, age 48, was driving between Nowra and Kangaroo |
| Valley, New South Wales, Australia when his car was enveloped in a |
| blazing light which allegedly melted his tape recorder. It also |
| caused soreness in witness's leg and fingers. (Source: ACOS Bulletin, |
| March 1982, p. 11). |
| |
| 1981 - At Charleston Lake, Ontario three members of a family watched |
| three red spheres at 9 p.m. The first object came in over the lake at |
| tree level, banked left over the water, and disappeared in the east. |
| The other two stayed over water, then vanished "into thin air". |
| (Source: Joe Graziano, APRO Bulletin, March 1982, p. 7). |
| |
| 1989 - Radioactive release occurred on this day at 8:20 a.m. at |
| Chernobyl' Unit 4, Ukraine. A few hours later a doctor, Dr. I. |
| Gospina, sighted an amber, elliptical UFO. She was able to discern |
| its top and bottom. (Source: Paul Stonehill, The Soviet UFO Files, p. |
| 68). |
| |
| 1989 - On this night a young female employee of a local meat packing |
| plant in Nikolayev, Russia had stepped outside for a quick break at a |
| tramway when a beam of light struck her from above. Looking up, she |
| saw a hovering disc-shaped craft which the beam had emanated from. |
| The object was about 40-60 meters in diameter. She reported that she |
| felt no fear and indeed had a euphoric feeling as she began rising up |
| into the air towards the object. She was levitated up to 160 feet and |
| near to the UFO. She also heard a voice extolling her to "fly with |
| them". Other workers came to the scene and began yelling and ran |
| towards the woman.The witnesses screaming apparently had an effect, |
| for the beam disappeared, she was returned to ground, and the UFO |
| flew away. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, UFO Chronicles of the Soviet |
| Union: A Cosmic Samizdat, p. 10; Larry Hatch, U computer database, |
| case # 14941; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1989, |
| citing Mikhail Gershtein, Immense Invasion). |
| |
| 1989 - On this night witnesses north of Zaostravka, Perm, Russia |
| watched several disc-shaped objects engaged in what looked like an |
| aerial battle or "dogfight" with another gold-colored disc. After |
| several explosions the electrical power in Zaostravka went off. The |
| gold-colored disc was seen crashing into a swamp. Several military |
| personnel tried to get near the crash site, but the isolated location |
| seemed impossible to access. The zone was declared off limits by the |
| local military, several families living nearby were displaced, and a |
| barbwire fence was installed in the area. Aircraft flying over the |
| area afterwards reported equipment malfunctions and were diverted to |
| other flight paths. The downed object was described as |
| mushroom-shaped with a greenish-gold dome and a matt black rim with a |
| narrow base. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
| 1989, citing F. Bachurin, N. A. Subbotin and Anton Anfalov). |
| |
| 1992 - At 12:30 a.m. on County Road 70 northeast of Elk River, |
| Minnesota, Mr. Townsend, age 49, witnessed a huge gray, silent domed |
| disc over a clearing in the midst of a rainstorm. He viewed it |
| clearly when the lightning flashed. The main body of the craft was |
| disc-shaped, like a plate upside down, with a smaller bowl on top. |
| There were four round white lights spaced evenly around the bottom, |
| and it had smaller green and red lights in between. An interesting |
| feature was that the rain stopped one foot from top the top of the |
| craft, as if the energy field surrounding the object was causing the |
| rain to dissipate. (Sources: Gary Trash, MUFON field investigation |
| case files, case # 120592C; Donald Ware, MUFON UFO Journal, February |
| 1993, p. 16; Joni Astrup, UFO Newsclipping Service, December 1992, |
| p. 1, citing Star News, September 30, 1992). |
| |
| 1994 - At 10:15 a.m. several children in school in Ruwa, Mashona |
| East, Zimbabwe watched three silver discs or spheres disappear with a |
| flash of light, then reappear three times. One of the objects landed |
| and a small man emerged. He was one meter tall and pale with a |
| scrawny neck, big eyes and long black hair. He wore a shiny tight |
| black suit. There were a total of 62 witnesses, and the incident |
| lasted eight minutes. In another account of the same or a parallel |
| incident, at 10:18 in nearby Harare, Mashona East, Zimbabwe school |
| children at a school in a rural area spotted an unknown craft that |
| landed in the valley below, with black humanoids patroling outside. |

| Hind, MUFON UFO Journal, January 1995; (2) Peter Davenport, National |
| UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, September 1994 webpage, report |
| uploaded December 5, 2001).  |
| |
| 1994 - At 8:00 p.m. numerous witnesses observed a strange craft |
| hovering over Metepec, Mexico. At about the same time Sara Cuevas |
| filmed a disc-shaped craft hovering over the area. A few hours |
| later she noticed a strange luminous being standing about 90 feet |
| away from her in the middle of a nearby sugar cane field. She filmed |
| the four-foot-tall humanoid as it slowly moved away. The next day, |
| footprints and strange formations of flattened crop-formation |
| depressions were found in the sugar cane field. Another witness came |
| forward who had seen a luminous dome-shaped craft land in the field |
| that same night. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1994, case # 2283, citing Michael Hesemann, The Cosmic |
| Connection; Carlos Alberto Guzman Rojas, Los OVNIs y la Aviacion |
| Mexicana: 50 anos de encuentros con OVNIs en el espacio aereo |
| mexicano, p. 175). |
| |
| 1995 - At around midnight, during the heavy rain and buffeting of |
| Tropical Storm Marilyn, a local resident of Pozo, Campo Rico, Puerto |
| Rico saw a strange five-foot creature with red glowing eyes. He fired |
| at the being several times with his gun, but it sprouted small wings |
| and flew away from the area. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1995 |
| Humanoid Sighting Reports Database, case # 2303, citing Jorge Martin, |
| Evidencia OVNI, issue # 8). |
| |
| 1996 - At around 5:00 a.m. a witness in a car noticed a shiny |
| luminous point of unusual size in Corme Royal, Charente-Maritime, |
| France, then saw an ovoid craft with three portholes emitting a |
| strong orange light. It was stationary at an altitude from 30-40 |
| meters and 300-400 meters from the road. (Source: GEIPAN, case 237). |
| |
| 1996 - The 6-year-old witness was sleeping on the floor of his |
| brother's room in Windsor, North Carolina when at 4:15 a.m. he awoke, |
| looked to his right, and saw a white face with a grayish tint that |
| was apparently lying on the ground staring at him. It had large black |
| eyes and an almond-shaped head, no ears, a slit for a mouth, and two |
| holes for a nose. It seemed to be about 5 feet 8 inches tall. The |
| witness could not move his neck much, so he could not see its entire |
| figure. Both the alien and young boy stared at each other for at |
| least five minutes. It didn't flinch or move. When the witness |
| attempted to scream he couldn't. He could move his arms, but not his |
| legs. He then heard a voice in his head that said, "Don't move it is |
| already done" or something similar to that. Upon hearing that, the |
| witness decided to defend himself and punched it directly at the |
| face. As soon as his hand made contact with the creature, it |
| disappeared. There appears to have been about an hour time lapse, and |
| in the morning the witness found marks on his arm and later on his |
| back. He remembers that while he was staring at the alien there |
| appeared to be a white light aura surrounding him. He does not |
| believe he was in his brother's room at that point. (Source: Albert |
| S. Rosales, 1996 Humanoid Sighting Reports Database, citing direct |
| communication with the witness). |
| 1996 - On this evening 62-year-old Uri Sakhov was walking to the |
| local post office in Nazareth, Israel when he suddenly heard a loud |
| whizzing sound and felt hands grab his hair and shoulders. In an |
| instant he found himself being pulled into an egg-shaped object. |
| Inside he found himself in a strange crystal chamber surrounded by |
| several small humanoids. These were described as 2 to 3 feet tall, |
| with heads shaped like light bulbs and skinny limbs that made |
| unintelligible noises. The leader was described as taller and green |
| colored, wearing flowing robes. He was very slender and had a narrow |
| vertical head, with eyes located on either side of it. One of the |
| small humanoids stepped up to the witness and sprayed his face with a |
| yellowish powder. Soon they were conducting numerous medical tests on |
| Sakhov, which made him feel "horrible" and very uncomfortable. Midway |
| through the tests he lost consciousness. When he recovered |
| consciousness he found himself lying flat on his back in the middle |
| of a soccer stadium, half a kilometer from his house. Feeling dizzy, |
| he went home and noticed that he still had some of the yellow powder |
| on his face. The powder was analyzed at a local hospital and it was |
| found to be about 60 percent aluminum and different from any soil |
| found in the area. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1996 Humanoid Sighting |
| Reports Database, case # 2461, citing Barry Chamish). |
| |
| 1998 - In Serpent River, Ontario two witnesses observed a silver oval |
| object hovering overhead (below the clouds) for a few seconds at 1:00 |
| p.m. Then it moved further away and hovered again. It left at a high |
| rate of speed. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 1998 Canadian UFO Survey, case |
| # 111). |
| |
| 1999 - A rural Menomonie, Wisconsin couple and a Dunn Sheriff's |
| Deputy watched an ovoid object in the sky early Thursday morning at |
| 4:04 a.m. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| September 1999 webpage, citing the Leader Telegram). |
| |
| 2001 - At 4:45 a.m. a mushroom/lampshade shaped object, about |
| six-eight feet across, was seen in Market Drayton, Shropshire, |
| England. It was white with a very bright base. It moved very fast. |
| (Source: British Ministry of Defense, case 2001-163). |
| |
| 2006 - A glowing cone-shaped UFO gave off heat and sound, and caused |
| an electrical disturbance in Liberty, Kentucky at 1:00 a.m. (Source: |
| Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, September 2006 |
| webpage, report uploaded December 2006, p. 7). |
| |
| 2007 - At 4:00 a.m. a small, fast maneuvering ball of white |
| light slowly descended from the sky to within 30 feet of a campsite |
| in Bayfield Inlet, Ontario. It approached the witnesses, and when a |
| flashlight was pointed at the light it reacted by moving away. |
| (Sources: Chris Rutkowski, 2007 Canadian UFO Survey, case # 608; |
| Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, September 2007 |
| webpage, report uploaded October 8, 2007). |
| |
| 2007 - Anza Borrego State Park, California. Carl Mandeville |
| (pseudonym) and his girlfriend had decided to go on an overnight |
| backpacking adventure. Their destination was Mount Laguna, in the |
| unincorporated area of San Diego, California. However, a forest fire |
| in Julian closed off Route 78, so they took an alternative route and |
| stumbled upon the Anza Borrego Desert State Park. They arrived at the |
| park at 5:00 p.m. He had never hiked or backpacked at the park |
| before, so Carl went to the visitor center and got the information he |
| needed, and set off on his journey to Culp Valley Campground. Culp |
| Valley campground is at approximately 3,500 feet in elevation. He and |
| his girlfriend pulled into the campground, loaded their backpacks, |
| and set off. They only backpacked about one mile out due to it being |
| the evening. They set up a tent about 20 feet north of the trail. The |
| tent was set up on a small slope looking down on the trail. |
| |
| At around 3:00 a.m. the moon had sunk behind the mountains |
| surrounding the desert, and it was pitch black, and his girlfriend |
| was sleeping. Unable to sleep Carl just lay there staring at the |
| starry sky. Suddenly, he heard a man’s voice, he when he looked in |
| the direction it was coming from he saw a green light being waved |
| back and forth. He immediately thought it was the park ranger. The |
| light was about 50 yards east from his tent, and he could tell that |
| whoever it was was using the green light to guide somebody on the |
| trail. The green light was coming closer and closer to their |
| tent, probably not directly to the tent but down the trail. Abruptly, |
| the green light disappeared and Carl panicked, because out of nowhere |
| a massive amount of light lit up the trail 20 feet from where he was. |
| He was terrified; nobody was talking at this point, and he didn’t |
| hear footsteps--just saw a massive amount of white light. The light |
| was getting closer. He immediately ducked down and lay low in his |
| tent, very scared. He then peeked out of the tent and saw 12 to 15 |
| humanoid figures that looked like people, but some were extremely |
| tall, and the rest were really very short with large bald heads. The |
| tall figures appeared to be wearing white, cloak-like outfits, and |
| the short figures appeared to be naked. Terrified and with his heart |
| pounding, Jeremy watched the beings walk very gracefully and slowly, |
| turning their heads from left to right with each footstep. They were |
| all holding metal rod-like implements which emitted a powerful white |
| light. They seemed to ignore the tent and walked “peacefully” by. The |
| witness remained lying still and as quiet as he could, as the |
| beings walked by his tent. The light eventually faded as the beings |
| continued down the trail and disappeared. Still terrified, he woke |
| his girlfriend 10 minutes later. He waited because he didn’t want the |
| beings to hear them talking. The next day, he told the ranger about |
| what had happened, and the ranger wrote it down in a report, |
| suspecting it was some type of religious cult. (Sources: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, September 2007 |

| Humanoid Sighting Reports Database, confidential report from the |
| witness). |
| |
| 2007 - At 7:33 p.m. three white circular objects in a triangular |
| formation hovered above the hills between Glendale and Los Angeles, |
| California for 15 minutes. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |

| |
| 2009 - Many lights, changing color and blinking randomly, merging and |
| dividing, flying randomly and also in formation, were seen in Ajo, |
| Arizona at 5:00 p.m. for 25 seconds. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
