|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  November 23 |
| |
| 1896 - Several observers in Stockton, California witnessed a fast |
| moving, bright light in the sky that had exited from a shadowy ovoid |
| object at 10:10 p.m.; it dips low near buildings in the city. There |
| were several other reports this evening from Antioch, Chico, Lathrop, |
| Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose, California. (Sources: Stockton |
| (CA) Daily Independent, November 24, 1896; Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case # 164, citing Loren E. Gross, The UFO Wave of 1896, p. |
| 13). |
| |
| 1948 - An aerial encounter with a red UFO involving radar and visual |
| confirmation occurred over Germany on this night at 10:20 p.m. |
| Two U.S. Air Force Captains flying in a F-80 fighter, and a 1st Lt. |
| from the 23rd Fighter Squadron on the ground at Furstenfeldbruck AFB |
| saw the reddish star-like object to the east moving south over Munich |
| at 200-500 mph, turning slightly southwest and then southeast. |
| Captain Slater in the F-80 called the Racecard DF Radar Station which |
| tracked the unidentified target at 27,000 feet and 30 miles to the |
| south of Munich, climbing to 40,000 feet at 40 miles south of Munich, |
| then circling around in a high speed ascent. (Sources: Donald E. |
| Keyhoe, Flying Saucers Are Real, p. 162; Edward J. Ruppelt, Report on |
| Unidentified Flying Objects, p. 68; Richard Hall, Uninvited Guests, |
| p. 237;  Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 10). |
| |
| 1950 - At 3:20 p.m. a disc-shaped UFO flew from the southwest to the |
| northeast near Maxwell Air Force Base, then performed a flip over the |
| city of Montgomery, Alabama. A second disc flew from the southwest to |
| the northeast, then two more flew from the south to the north at a |
| high rate of speed. town. There were three witnesses, and the entire |
| event lasted nine minutes. (Source: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. |
| 1950: August-December, p. 58). |
| |
| 1953 - The famous Kinross Air Force Base disappearance of an F-89 |
| fighter plane occurred on this date. An F-89 was scrambled from |
| Kinross AFB at 6:41 p.m. to pursue a UFO over Lake Michigan and the |
| Upper Pennisula of Michigan. The radar blips of the UFO and the jet |
| merged into one near Soo Locks and Keeneenaw Point, Michigan then the |
| jet disappeared and the UFO flew away. An extensive air search and |
| rescue found no trace of the missing aircraft, with the two airmen |
| named Moncla and Wilson. The radio communication between the pilot |
| and Air Traffic Controllers has never been released. The massive |
| search and recovery effort went on for an extensive period of time, |
| and failed to find any wreckage. (Sources: Sault Ste. Marie Evening |
| News, November 24, 1953; Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying Saucer Conspiracy, |
| p. 13; UNICAT, case # 670; Richard M. Dolan, UFO's and the National |
| Security State: Chronology of a Cover-up 1941-1973, p. 406; UNICAT |
| database, case # 670). |
| |
| 1954 - At around five o'clock in the evening two young shepherds, M. |
| G. and P. T., age 12, were returning to their flock in Colcerasa, |
| Macerata, Italy when they noticed that the sheep had moved from were |
| they had left them and that their sheep dog was barking. M. G. |
| observed three “dark colored, animal like creatures” moving between |
| some bushes and a couple of bonfires that the shepherds had lit |
| earlier. They also saw what looked like a small barrel, 60-70 |
| centimeters wide by 1.5 meters long. The edges of the object were |
| flattened. M. G. was unable to view the beings clearly; they stood |
| approximately 35 cm tall and had rather disproportionately large, |
| flat-topped heads. They appeared to be dressed in dark shiny suits, |
| as if made out of plastic. The creatures quickly retreated into the |
| object, which quickly took off producing a hissing sound. When the |
| object had reached an altitude of 20 meters it expelled a large |
| fireball. This exploded just before touching the ground, and a strong |
| gust of wind struck both boys. The object sported something like |
| “antennae” situated on its forward section, which vibrated when the |
| object lifted off. The craft zipped rapidly in an easterly direction |
| and disappeared from view to the left of Mount La Cesa. Both boys |
| ran home to relate what they had just seen. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1954, case # 1602, citing Maurizio |
| Verga, ITACAT). |
| |
| 1954 - On this afternoon three 10-year-old girls returning from |
| school in Torpo, Norway--Anne & Tora Storedal and Tora Moy |
| Hauge--found themselves being followed by a flying saucer. It came |
| down to hover only 3 or 4 feet away from them. It was round, about 10 |
| feet in diameter, and the bottom was black, trimmed with yellow spots |
| which could have been lights, with a number of small, "red jags." The |
| upper part was a transparent dome, and a man who was operating |
| controls was visible inside. He wore black trousers, a black jacket, |
| and immense red goggles over his eyes. He stared at one of the girls. |
| When the craft rose it collided with a high-tension power line with a |
| shower of sparks, and the girls ran away. They noticed a smell "like |
| fried sausages." A "streak" was found in the snow, apparently left by |
| the craft having brushed the surface of the snow covered ground. |
| (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case 1954-132 (A0345), citing Oddvar J. Larsen, CSI-New |
| York). |
| |
| 1957 - In the desert 30 miles west of Tonopah, Nevada Joseph Long's |
| car engine died at 6:10 a.m. He then heard a high-pitched whining |
| sound and saw to his right four large, metallic Saturn-shaped craft |
| resting on the ground 400 meters away. The objects were 50 feet in |
| diameter, with a dome in the center and a rotating ring on the edge. |
| He walked up to within 50 feet of the objects during the next 20 |
| minutes, when the four objects slowly rose up and left the area, at |
| which time he returned to his vehicle and the car engine could be |
| restarted. The humming sound increased in pitch when the objects took |
| off. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics; J. Allen Hynek,  The Hynek UFO Report, p. 182; UNICAT |

| [Sketch of Tonopah, Nevada Close Encounter - 1957] |
| |
| 1958 - At 11:35 p.m. Julio M. Ladaleto, an engineer, stopped when his |
| car hit a can rolling on the road in Cojutepeque, El Salvador. He |
| then observed an object about 35 meters away. It was shaped like a |
| lamp shade with an upper transparent sphere emitting a bluish, |
| pulsating light, 12 meters diameter, seven meters high, and resting |
| on three half-spheres. An very tall occupant, 2.5 meters in height, |
| was photographed by the witness as the crossed the road and appeared |
| to inspect the craft. The UFOnaut wore a blue coverall and |
| luminescent heelless boots, and had a bald head. The observation |
| lasted 10 minutes, after which the object took off with a whining |
| sound, sparks and smoke. The following day, before he had revealed |
| anything about the case, Ladeleto was contacted by strange "newsmen" |
| who appeared to know all the details of it. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 476; Coral & Jim |
| Lorenzen, Encounters with UFO Occupants, p. 151). |
| |

| 1965 - At 9:30 p.m. a man named Quigley sighted a flourescent, blue |
| cluster of lights tinged orange on the sides, about a mile away in |
| the sky over Adelaide, South Australia. When he signaled with a |
| flashlight a second time it moved closer. (Source: Michael Hervey, |
| UFOs Over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 174). |
| |
| 1967 -  Two UFOs with lights blinded a man while he was driving his |
| truck at dusk in Ivangrad, Yugoslavia. One object hung close to |
| ground for 15 minutes, then took off vertically. (Source: APRO |
| Bulletin, November-December 1967, p. 7). |
| |
| 1969 - For 15 minutes beginning at 12:30 a.m. four witnesses watched |
| and viewed through a telescope a glowing ovoid object over Kauri |
| Mountain, New Zealand that moved up-and-down, side-to-side, and |
| hovered. It departed by shooting straight up. (Source: FSR, March |
| 1970, p. 32). |
| |
| 1972 - A class of college student observed a silent, wingless, |
| dull-gray fuselage-shaped object fly over a forest in Acheres, |

| the locks at Brunel Ward, Huntsville, Ontario. (Source: Huntsville |
| Forester, November 29, 1973). |
| |
| 1975 -  A one-meter in diameter disc was spotted just over the |
| highway D786 in Treguier, France. It  followed a car west, but turned |
| back quickly to the east when the car approached the town. (Source: |
| Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 11555, citing Jean Claude |
| Bourret, La Nouveau Defi des OVNI, p. 164). |
| |
| 1975 - A domed disc-shaped object with three white lights and a |
| smaller blinking red light in the center was sighted by a young |
| couple in Chicago, Illinois at 4:50 p.m. on a clear evening. It |
| hovered motionless for a few seconds, dropped down, hovered again, |
| then moved to the east, hovered a third time, and finally moved |
| rapidly off to the northwest. It made no sound and the witnesses were |
| confident it was not a plane or helicopter. (Source: Fred Merritt, |
| on-site case field investigation). |
| |
| 1976 - A lounge owner and a bartender watched a large domed object as |
| it hovered over trees in Kenner, Louisiana on a clear night, flashing |
| red, green, and white lights. The dome was three times the size of a |
| helicopter, and it passed over their car at 3:30 a.m. It hovered for |
| two minutes over the trees, then moved slowly toward Moisant Airport |
| in the east. (Sources: International UFO Reporter, January 1977, |

| 35-year-old Anotnio Ferreira witnessed an "airship," red on the |
| bottom, gray metallic on the top, and oval-cylindrical in shape. It |
| was estimated to be 1500 meters distant, and it moved in small wavy |
| pulsing actions, spinning as it went. At the same time 34-year-old |
| pilot Ivaldo Viegas Pantoja was flying from Colarfes and spotted the |
| dull metallic "airship" when his plane was at 60 meters altitude, and |
| the UFO was at only 30 meters, 3000 meters away. It was small, |
| perhaps only 1.5 meters in size, and going from southeast to east at |
| 100 km/h. He reported being frightened by his encounter with the |
| object. (Source: Bob Pratt, Operacion Prato, p. 34).  |
| |
| 1978 - At 6:30 p.m. a fluorescent, wedge-shaped UFO flew silently |
| over an oil field in Abu Dhabi, UAE. There were 11 oil workers as |
| witnesses. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, MUFON UFO  Journal, January |
| 1979, p. 5, citing UPI; APRO Bulletin, January 1979, p. 3). |
| |
| 1978 - In the early evening a silver triangular object with two |
| yellow lights paced a "Tristar" airliner from Heathrow Airport, Kent, |
| England. It came back several times during the three minute |
| encounter, and was tracked on radar. There were several independent |
| witnesses. At 7:15 p.m. a man in Whitstable, Kent, England making |
| weather observations at his home saw a silver, plate-shaped UFO, |
| within a block of light gray vapor. The UFO was glistening silver, |
| and emerged from the front of the mist. It showed great acceleration, |
| and left a vapor trail. (Sources: (1) D. N. Mansell, Awareness, April |
| 1979, p. 11; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 42; (2) |
| UFO Newsclipping Service, January 1979, p. 11, citing |
| Whitstable Times, November 24, 1978). |
| |
| 1978 - At 9:00 p.m. a cigar-shaped UFO flew over Gois, Coimbra, |
| Portugal very rapidly to the north, radiating an orange glow. |
| (Source: PORTUCAT, case 236, citing Diario de Coimbra). |
| |

| |
| 1992 -  A couple driving on an isolated road at 1:30 a.m. near the |
| town of San German, Puerto Rico saw tall thin being walking on side |
| of road. He was walking towards them, and was described as having a |
| large head, which was covered by a black helmet, wide shoulders, and |
| very long arms. At eye level there was a rectangular opening in the |
| helmet, and they could see two large almond-shaped eyes. Around his |
| neck was a golden colored collar. The startled witnessed decided to |
| turn back and take another look, but the humanoid figure had already |
| vanished. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1992, |
| case # 285, citing Jorge Martin, Enigma, issue # 58). |
| |
| 1994 -  Six children in Plancher-les-Mines, France watched a silver |
| domed disc maneuver, then hover low over a field. On the dome was a |

| home from a pub in Hallbankgate, Cumbria, England at around 1:40 a.m. |
| when he observed a large green ball of light with a white ring |
| around. The ball of light dropped from the sky and then hovered in |
| some woods at a nearby farm. Later, after driving another group of |
| passengers from the pub, he came up a hill and saw a tall figure |
| emerging from a gate in a field on his right hand side. The figure |
| wore a silver suit with some kind of helmet on his head. It was |
| carrying what appeared to be a "white sheet" in front of him that he |
| was not holding, but seemed to be stuck to his hands. Both David and |
| his two passengers were extremely frightened and did not stop, |
| driving quickly away from the area. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1996, case # 3127, citing British UFO |
| Research Association). |
