| Encounters with Aliens on this Day |

| |
|

|
|
| April 14 |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1897 - This was the day before the peak date in a wave of "airship" |
|
|||
|
|
| sightings around the United States and Canada. There were 48 reports |
|
|||
|
|
| of "airships" on this day, including 13 in Michigan alone. Below are |
|
|||
|
|
| summarized two of the more interesting cases involving occupants. |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1897 - At three o'clock in the afternoon in Gas City, Indiana an |
|
|||
|
|
| object landed two kilometers south of Gas City on the property of |
|
|||
|
|
| John Roush, terrifying the farmers and causing the horses and cattle |
|
|||
|
|
| to stampede. Six occupants of the ship came out and seemed to make |
|
|||
|
|
| some repairs. Before the crowd could approach the object, it rose |
|
|||
|
|
| rapidly and flew toward the east. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport |
|
|||
|
|
| to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 182, citing Chicago Chronicle, |
|
|||
|
|
| April 15, 1897). |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1897 - Joseph Singler, captain of the "Sea Wing", was fishing on Lake |
|
|||
|
|
| Erie near Cleveland, Ohio with S. H. Davis, of Detroit, Michigan when |
|
|||
|
|
| they saw what they thought was a ship, about 13 meters long, with a |
|
|||
|
|
| canopy. A man, looking to be about 25 years old, wearing a hunting |
|
|||
|
|
| jacket and a cap, was fishing from the deck of the object. Near him |
|
|||
|
|
| were a woman and a 10-year-old child. When the "Sea Wing" came close |
|
|||
|
|
| to the craft, a large, colored "balloon" rose from the object, which |
|
|||
|
|
| flew up with it to an altitude of about 150 meters and circled "like |
|
|||
|
|
| a hawk" before flying away. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
|
|||
|
|
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 182, citing the Chicago Tribune, |
|
|||
|
|
| April 16, 1897). |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1967 - At 9:00 p.m. a motorist driving near Melville, New York saw a |
|
|||
|
|
| glowing object overhead. Suddenly his car engine stalled and a |
|
|||
|
|
| smaller circular metallic object landed besides the road. His car |
|
|||
|
|
| radio, which had been turned off, began broadcasting in a strange |
|
|||
|
|
| language. A tiny metallic robot-like figure appeared in the doorway |
|
|||
|
|
| of the object. It came out and dug up some dirt and then placed it |
|
|||
|
|
| inside the craft. The doorway then closed and the object turned a |
|
|||
|
|
| bright red color as it rose into the sky, emitting a whirring sound. |
|
|||
|
|
| It appeared to join the large glowing craft overhead. (Source: Mark |

|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1971 - At around 8:00 p.m. Marion L. and Dennis D., an engaged |
|
|||
|
|
| couple, were driving near Evans City, Pennsylvania when they saw a |
|
|||
|
|
| yellow white light drop behind a nearby hill. They drove to the |
|
|||
|
|
| location on a dirt road and found a luminous object hovering just |
|
|||
|
|
| above the ground over a ploughed field, 80 yards away. It was 25-30 |
|
|||
|
|
| feet in diameter and shaped like a large bowl inverted over a smaller |
|
|||
|
|
| one. It had a series of rectangular, vertical windows in the upper |
|
|||
|
|
| half and round portholes below the rim. There was a red flickering |
|
|||
|
|
| glow from one of the upper windows, and Miss L. perceived two human |
|
|||
|
|
| like figures silhouetted in them. The figures appeared to be very |
|
|||
|
|
| tall, perhaps about 10 feet in height. Frightened, they drove away |
|
|||
|
|
| quickly. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
