|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  September 13 |
| |
| 1948 - At seven o'clock in the evening a seminarian in Oristano, |
| Sardegna, Italy watched as a domed disc-shaped object tilted in the |
| air, so that two humanoid beings were visible inside its transparent |
| dome. The object flew off to the east toward Madau. (Source: Larry |
| Hatch, U computer database, case # 1346, citing a website). |
| |
| 1952 - At around 8:00 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. George Snitowski and their |
| little girl suddenly found their car stalled in Frametown, West |
| Virginia. An unpleasant odor filled the air, similar to the smell of |
| ether mixed with sulphur. Mr. Snitowski thought a chemical plant |
| might be burning in the area and walked towards a strong light |
| visible in the woods, in spite of the noxious smell. Coming near it, |
| he felt a prickling sensation throughout his body, had to stop, and |
| then lost his balance several times as he returned to the car where |
| he found his wife terrified, pointing at a giant creature. (Sources: |

| case # 1952-17, citing Paul Lieb, Jacques Vallee & Mark Hall; George |
| D. Fawcett, Flying Saucers magazine, September 1972, p. 27). |
| |
| 1952 - On that same night in Allentown, Pennsylvania at 7:40 p.m., |
| private pilot W.A. Hobler was flying his Beech Bonanza airplane when |
| he sighted a flying object shaped like a fat football, fiery |
| orange-red in color, descend and then pull up in front of his |
| airplane. This encounter was very brief, and lasted only two 2 |
| seconds. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case #  2085; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO |
| Unknowns; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1952: |
| September-October, p. 28). |
| |
| 1955 - At 2:10 a.m. a silent red sphere flew across the sky to the |
| northeast in St. Louis, Senegal, curving and spiraling. It made an |
| ascent to a higher altitude, flew to the southeast, and then shot off |
| to the west. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, November 1968). |
| |
| 1959 - At 1:05 a.m. Mr. R. H. Daubner of Gills Rock, Wisconsin |
| observed a yellow ring of lights, with eight blue lights within it, |
| and then five larger brilliant red lights. The object rose very fast |
| vertically from a field three kilometers away, while making a |
| pulsating jet noise. The tremendous pulsating noise hurt the ears of |
| the witness. The encounter lasted ten minutes. (Sources: Project Blue |
| Book files counted in official statistics, case # 6506; Don Berliner, |
| Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| Gills Rock, Wisconsin UFO Landing - 1959 |
| |
| [Sketch of Gills Rock, Wisconsin UFO Landing - 1959] |
| |
| 1959 - Scott Mitchell was in the hallway of his home near Gills Rock, |
| Wisconsin at around two o'clock in the afternoon when he saw a being |
| with dark gray, wrinkled skin standing at the opposite end. The being |
| communicated in a telepathic voice that went directly to the witness |
| head, "Do not be afraid, we will not harm you." Frightened, he tried |
| to run away but was paralyzed in his tracks, and time seemed to slow |
| down around him. A greenish haze surrounded him and the being glided |
| towards him. The witness then lost consciousness. His next memory was |
| of waking up in the house in a back bedroom. The witness subsequently |
| experienced further close encounters. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1959, citing UFOs and Aliens Among Us). |
| |
| 1959 - At four p.m. at least two control tower operators at Bunker |
| Hill AFB, Indiana plus the pilot of a Mooney private aircraft sighted |
| a pear-shaped object, colored white, cream, and metallic, with a |
| trail under it. The UFO showed little movement during the three hour |
| sighting. An intercept was attempted by a USAF T-33 jet trainer, but |
| it failed to find the UFO in time. (Sources: Project Blue Book files |
| counted in official statistics, case # 6507; Don Berliner, Project |
| Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1962 - Overfield, England. Myra Jones was driving between Overfield |
| and Norris Hill at 11:20 p.m. when she spotted a luminous, gray |
| object, larger than a car, with a dome on top. It was flying just |
| above the ground at the height of the telephone poles, spinning |
| slowly. There were dark spots visible on the underside of the object. |
| It nearly touched the car, then gave a whistling sound and flew away. |
| (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| case 546; citing Flying Saucer Review, November-December 1962). |
| |
| 1966 - At 7:30 a.m. a 12-year-old boy, Randy Rotenberger, saw |
| a silvery-gray ellipsoid object with a clear bubble dome protruding |
| from its top; it hovered about a mile away, then landed with a |
| falling leaf motion near a farm between Gwinner and Stirum, North |
| Dakota within 300 yards of him. It made a low-pitched whine during |
| the five-minute sighting. It had tripod landing gear, two red lights, |
| two white and one green light, and the transparent dome. A |
| businessman from Gwinner and an Air Force Lt. Colonel went to the |
| site and discovered three ground traces, apparently left by spherical |
| objects, 18 centimeters deep, which were very compact. The ground |
| imprint marks were in the arrangement of an isoceles triangle 7.9 m x |
| 6.5 m x 6.5 m. Radiation measured at 0.1 milliroentgen (normal). The |
| boy reported that the object "went away so fast that it vanished." |

| July 1966, p. 1; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, case 797; Project Blue files counted in official |
| statistics, case 10944; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; |
| UNICAT, case 369). |
| |
| 1966 - The two astrononauts on Gemini XI, Dick Gordon and Pete |
| Conrad, during their 18th orbit of the Earth, took a photograph of a |
| unknown object in outer space while over the Greenwich Time Zone at |
| 18.25 hours. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, August 1977, p. 1; |
| Margaret Sachs, Celestial Passengers, p. 183). |
| |
| 1967 - A very bright strobe light was seen, and then six red lights |
| in a row appeared at the same spot and hovered over the Haddam Neck, |
| Connecticut Yankee Nuclear Power Plant at 8:45 p.m. It was seen by |
| Mrs. Rarey and her two children from their home across the |
| Connecticut River in Haddam, Connecticut. The sighting lasted 15 |
| minutes. (Source: Donald A. Johnson field investigation case files). |
| |
| 1972 - A rural family in Burlington, Colorado, who police said were |
| responsible people, reported that a UFO "as big as a house" flew |
| parallel to their car as they were driving down a country road at |
| night. One of the witnesses said the object landed and took off twice |
| in a nearby field. The object was round and  had "rays" or beam of |
| light coming out of it. (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator, October |
| 1972, p. 3). |
| |
| 1973 - While driving toward Ijui, Brazil at about 1:30 a.m., a group |
| of motorists saw a luminous yellow egg-shaped object approach their |
| car near the town of Gravatai and begin pacing them on the left side, |
| some 2-3 kilometers away. When the driver blinked the headlights off |
| and on, the object reproduced the same signals. The driver stopped |
| the car and he and some passengers then got out, waving their arms. |
| The object was very close to the ground and appeared to be about to |
| land. They resumed their trip and after awhile the object, which |
| continued to pace them, beamed a light in their direction. One of the |
| passengers said she had the impression something or someone was |
| trying to contact her mentally. (Source: Inforespace, August 1975, |
| No. 22; translated from the French by Jacques Deschenes) |
| |
| 1986 - On this night, during a rash of UFO sightings in the region, |
| Mrs. Lourdes Altamirano watched a huge luminous object descend and |
| hover above a large tree in Ciudad Valles, San Luis Potosi State, |
| Mexico. Several gigantic figures descended from the object and |
| inspected the surroundings, at one point they showed interest in a |
| large ceramic jar near the witness's house. She attempted to wake her |
| husband but he remained asleep. After awhile, the beings reboarded |
| their craft, which took off at high speed. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database, citing Contacto OVNI). |
| |
| 1988 - At 10:45 p.m. a 39-year-old witness stepped outside his house |
| in Chiloquin, Klamath County, Oregon and saw a multicolored, oval |
| object moving away. He got his wife, daughter, and a telescope. They |
| watched the object in the sky for more than an hour. They saw the |
| same object "at distance" for the next two nights. (Source: Hernandez |
| Jose L. Hernandez, MUFON field investigation case files database, |
| case # 930508J). |
| |
| 1990 - At around 1:00 a.m. a mother awoke to tuck her young daughter |
| under the blankets in Rudnyi, Kustanay region, Kazakhstan when she |
| saw a luminous sphere through the balcony door on the upper level of |
| house. A bright yellow beam, surrounded in a greenish glow, shone |
| into the room from the sphere. The woman covered the young girl with |
| the blanket and then heard a strong ringing in her ears and |
| developed a strong headache. At this point she lost consciousness. |
| After an hour or so she woke up, feeling a burning sensation on her |
| stomach. She found a spot about ten centimeters in length and two |
| centimeters wide on her stomach that appeared to be a burn scar. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1990 Humanoid Sighting Reports Database, |
| citing UFOZONE Russia). |
| 1990 - At 8:12 p.m. a local woman named Irina M. was returning home |
| from work in Mahachkala, Dagestan, Russia when she looked at the sky |
| and saw a fast moving yellow light, which was flying from the |
| southwest to the east. It was moving faster than a normal aircraft, |
| and she immediately thought it could be a UFO. The object began to |
| descend at a high speed, noticeably increasing in size. It was round |
| and silvery, and hovered in midair not too far away from the witness. |
| Astounded, she next saw a humanoid figure floating next to the |
| object. The figure was human-like, tall, slender, and with a pale |
| young face without wrinkles. He also had what appeared to be very |
| kind, blue eyes. The alien was dressed in a loose-fitting tunic, |
| silver-white in color. The being stood in mid-air, gazing at the |
| witness intently, and seemed to be encased in a bright halo of light. |
| She became concerned, fearing that she might be abducted by the |
| alien, and she rushed home to her children as fast as she could. Near |
| her front door she looked back and saw the UFO departing, decreasing |
| in size and vanishing in a few seconds. Apparently the only other |
| witness to this event was a stray dog that frequented the area. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1990 Humanoid Sighting Reports Database, |
| citing "Iks" UFO Newspaper, Mahachkala Dagestan, issue # 4, and Anton |
| Anfalov). |
| 1990 - On the same night as the CE-3 encounter in Dagestan, witnesses |
| in Samara Province, Russia reported seeing a small luminous, white |
| triangular-shaped craft flying above their rooftops. The object |
| appeared to be transparent, and inside three dark human-like figures |
| with large round heads could be seen. One figure was standing up, |
| while the other two were seated behind what looked like a control |
| panel. The object later became dark and landed outside a perimeter |
| fence of the Volga-Ural Military Air Defense Radar Station. At around |
| midnight, as armed guards approached the object, without warning it |
| fired a powerful beam of concentrated energy that destroyed the radar |
| antenna on top of their communications building. The steel in the |
| radar unit was burned from a distance of 430 feet. A wristwatch |
| reportedly slowed, and other strange physical effects were noted. |
| Some of the sentries went missing temporarily, and could not account |
| for their whereabouts. (Sources: Paul Stonehill, The Soviet UFO |
| Files, p. 50; Antonio Huneeus, UFO Universe 1995, quoting Russian |
| film, Cosmic Top Secret; Albert S. Rosales, 1990 Humanoid Sighting |
| Reports Database, case # 1836, citing Antonio Huneeus). |
| |
| 1992 - In Albertville, Minnesota a 5-6 foot wide disc-shaped object |
| with portholes was seen at 100 feet altitude, only 100 yards away. It |
| had an estimated thickness of 1-2 feet. (Source: Joni Astrup, UFO |
| Newsclipping Service, December 1992, p. 1, citing Star News, |
| September 30, 1992). |
| |
| 1994 - Larry Gardea, while out bear hunting near Chacon, New Mexico |
| heard a humming sound at 4:30 p.m., and witnessed a cow being dragged |
| up a hill backwards into the underbrush. One cow was dead and |
| mutilated, another one crippled, and a third missing. The hunter |
| fired shots in the direction of the sound. (Source: Christopher |
| O'Brien, The Mysterious Valley, p. 256, citing Linda Moulton Howe). |
| |
| 1994 - At 7:30 p.m. while driving on Highway 160 east of Del Norte, |
| Colorado two people witnessed two orange streamers that crossed their |
| path. The two flourescent orange streamers flew in tandem right in |
| front of their van's windshield. They were four to six feet |
| in length, six to eight feet apart. They crossed the highway at |
| the same place as an ambulance's electrical system failure earlier in |
| the month. Satellite TV in the area also failed. (Source:Christopher |
| O'Brien, The Mysterious Valley, p. 256). |
| |
| 1994 - At 11:00 p.m. a silent formation of dark objects flew across |
| the sky toward the southwest in Cheyenne, Wyoming. They were thought |
| to be much too fast to have been geese. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case # 16525, citing R. Leo Sprinkle). |
| |
| 1995 - At 12:10 a.m. a bizarre, irregularly shaped object, only 300 |
| feet away, shot beams of light down on a house in Corpus Christi, |
| Texas. It had a pulsating light on top. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
| National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, list of 1995 reports). |
| |
| 1995 - At 12:20 a.m. a yellow-white disc-shaped object moved south in |
| the sky over Tallahasee, Florida. Its apparent size was larger than |
| the full moon, and it had a halo surrounding it. (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, list of 1995 |
| reports). |
| |
| 1999 - Witnesses in Blanchardville, Wisconsin reported a shoot-out |
| between Air National Guard F-16s and six maneuvering balls of light |
| (BOLs) at 2:15 a.m., with one light emitting a ray that took out one |
| of the jets. The jet reportedly crashed, and the pilot who ejected |
| was treated for injuries. (Sources: George A. Filer, MUFON UFO |
| Journal, January 2000, p. 17; UFO Magazine (US), March 2000, p. 16). |
| |
| 1999 - A tube-shaped UFO with a pointed rear end, brilliant white, |
| sped east to west at 2200 km/h over Melbourne Reservoir, Victoria, |
| Australia at 7:20 p.m. It was viewed for few seconds. The witness has |
| worked in the aviation industry for many years, and attests that it |
| was not a meteor or a conventional plane. (Source: Robert Frola, |
| Australasian Ufologist, April 2000, p. 52 & January 2001, p. 46). |
| |
| 2000 - An EM vehicle ignition interference effect case occurred on |
| this evening at 7:00 p.m. The witness's car engine shut off between |
| Hagerstown and Sidling Hill, Maryland when an extremely bright light |

| 2003 archived webpage). |
| |
| 2003 - At midnight a 21-year-old woman walking her dog in Seaman, |
| Ohio heard coyotes howling loudly during a sighting of a large |
| stationary triangular craft. The color of the object's lights changed |
