|  April 21 |
| |
| 1952 - At 10:30 a.m. eight crescent-shaped objects flew over Walla |
| Walla, Washington. A dull gray disc with a hump in the middle, |
| looking something like a fin, was seen at 2:30 in the afternoon by |
| the Gmyrek family in Browerville, Minnesota. The disc made no sound |
| at first but as it was fading away behind some trees "we heard a very |
| low hum." It left no vapor trail, and flew at an estimated speed of |
| 300 mph. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics; Project Blue Book Report # 7, reported dated May 31, |
| 1952; Edward Sullivan, CSI - Los Angeles, citing letter from R. |
| Gmyrek dated June 2, 1952). |
| |
| 1952 - A flying disc was sighted in Tuxedo, Manitoba at 8:26 p.m. |
| Four minutes later several discs and cylindrical UFOs were sighted in |
| Molson, Manitoba. The UFOs were changing colors quickly, and one |
| object stopped in flight, reversed direction, and backtracked by |
| shooting off toward the north. At 10:15 p.m. there were two separate |
| sightings of nocturnal lights glowing green and white in Winnipeg, |
| Manitoba. One of the lights made a ninety-degree turn and turned back |
| in flight toward the south. (Sources: Winnipeg Free Press, April 23, |
| 1952; Desmond Leslie, Flying Saucers Have Landed, p. 60; Toronto |
| Daily Star, April 23, 1952). |
| |
| 1965 - A dark amorphous shaped UFO moved erratically up and down |
| through the sky over Pakenham East, Victoria, Australia on this day. |
| (Source: Michael Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 118). |
| |
| 1967 - Driving near a dam 10 miles south of Ephrata, Washington two |
| couples had a close encounter with a UFO on the road at 1:30 a.m. |
| They braked to avoid collision with the object and stopped 10 feet |
| away. When the UFO took off, it went behind their car, and paced them |
| for five minutes. The engine of the car missed when it was passed on |
| left by the oncoming white and yellow-orange blinking lights of the |
| craft. The witnesses were badly shaken by the incident. (Sources: J. |
| Allen Hynek, The UFO Experience, p. 115; Frank Edwards, Flying |
| Saucers: Here and Now, p. 239; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence |
| Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 455). |
| |
| 1967 - At six o'clock in the morning a sun-like orange disc or globe |
| was seen flying toward the town of Milolii, Hawaii. It made a |
| "swishing" sound. (Source: APRO Bulletin, May-June 1967, p. 8). |
| |
| 1967 - At 4:00 p.m. EDT a domed, disc-shaped UFO was seen hovering to |
| the west of Cocoa Beach, Florida. It tilted as a small plane passed |
| beneath it. The airplane then reversed course in an apparent effort |
| to take a closer look at the UFO. (Source: Richard Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 336). |
| |
| 1967 - At 7:45 p.m. EDT a UFO was sighted in Georgetown, |
| Massachusetts. The object was viewed through binoculars and appeared |
| to have four rectangular windows. A white light flashed in sequence |
| from the windows. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler case investigation |
| files, report dated April 23, 1967; Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: |
| Interplanetary Visitors, p. 332, 347). |
| |
| 1967 - A pewter colored object shaped like a storage tank landed in |
| South Hill, Virginia at 9:00 p.m. It stood 4.9 meters high including |
| the legs, which were an estimated 1.1 meters long. A white burst of |
| flame came from the object, which shot up into the sky. There were |
| four imprints on the asphalt road forming a rectangle with sides from |
| 3.35 to 3.66 meters in length. There was also a burnt spot in the |
| center measuring 0.9 meters in diameter. There were two male |
| witnesses named Crowder and Martin. (Source: NICAP investigation |
| files; NICAP UFO Investigator, April 1967, p. 1; Frank Edwards, |
| Flying Saucers: Here and Now, p. 237; Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 263; UNICAT case # 715). |
| |
| 1967 - While driving home from work in Rapid City, Michigan at 9:00 |
| p.m. Charles D. Scott saw a large round, bluish white lighted object |
| descend to land in a wooded area. When he got home he notified the |
| sheriff's office, then drove back to the site with his wife and |
| children and accompanied by a deputy sheriff. While Mrs. Scott and |
| the children waited in the car, Mr. Scott and the officer searched |
| the wooded area and became separated. The deputy found nothing, but |
| the witness came upon the craft resting on small legs in a marshy |
| area. Standing next to it was a medium sized man. He called out |
| "hello" but got no response; he then repeated the greeting and this |
| time received a mental warning, "Get away from here!" He turned and |
| fled to his car, badly frightened and in an agitated state. When he |
| returned home he told his wife about his encounter. (Source: David F. |
| Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1967-36, citing Richard Hall, NICAP). |
| |
| 1967 - At 9:55 p.m. a yellow dome-shaped object, flat on bottom, was |
| seen by two women in Tucson, Arizona. A light beam was directed |
| upward from the object, as it descended tipping and swaying in a |
| falling leaf motion, apparently attempting to land. (Source: APRO |
| Bulletin, May-June 1967, p. 7; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, |
| Volume II:  A Thirty-Year Report, p. 336). |
| |
| 1969 - Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez were driving through the countryside |
| between Penaranda and Macotera in Salamanca, Spain when they noticed |
| some lights ahead, perhaps a kilometer away. As they got closer they |
| noticed a UFO low over the roadway. It had a red rotating central |
| light that was flashing and intense, and two smaller green lights |
| separated by 20 meters. They approached to within 70 meters, when the |
| UFO suddenly took off. It was raining hard at time, and their close |
| encounter lasted less than a minute. (Sources: Vicente-Juan Ballester |
| Olmos,  Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in Spain and Portugal, p. |
| 24 (case 109); Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, OVNIs: El Fenomeno |
| Aterrizaje, p. 95; UNICAT case # 464). |
| |
| 1969 - Three extremely bright discs were seen spinning over a major |
| intersection at a low altitude in Guanabara, a city in Rio de Janeiro |
| State, Brazil. There were many witnesses.  (Source: Walter Buhler, |
| FSR Case Histories, August 1971, p. 12). |
| |
| 1972 - EM effect: a car stalled while driving through a forested area |
| in the Charente-Maritime department of France near the village of |
| Ste.-Soulle at 10.00 p.m. A 16 meter diameter domed disc-shaped |
| object descended and landed on four legs, then a one-meter tall dwarf |
| exited from the craft. The witness was frozen with paralysis during |
| the event, which lasted 45 minutes. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| July 1976; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case A1147). |
| |
| 1974 - At 12:20 a.m. in Gosselies, Hainaut, Belgium a 10-meter |
| diameter glowing metallic ovoid object halted at 100 meters altitude, |
| made a loud noise, then zig-zagged away. There were two witnesses |
| named Vanderclausen. Four minutes later a loud wailing sound was |
| heard in Jumet, Belgium and a green, 11-meter orb was seen hovering |
| by three witnesses. It shot away to the south. It was back again at |
| 12:30 a.m., then it moved off quickly to the southeast. At 12:30 in |
| Loverval a domed disc-shaped object emitted a sound like American |
| police sirens as it had a close encounter with four witnesses; it |
| flew off to the east. At the same time in Marcinelle, Belgium 11 |
| witnesses, including a 16-year old teenager who was the main witness, |
| watched as a small gray disc with a 40 cm thick base and a three |
| meter high dome oscillated slightly at a distance of only 30 meters. |
| The craft had ten equally spaced windows, which alternated |
| yellow-green and red in color. Half of the dome was illuminated. It |
| too emitted a siren sound. (Sources: Michel Abrassart, Inforespace, |
| June 1975, pp. 33-36; Jacques Bonabot, Catalog of Belgian Cases, |
| cases 372-374; UNICAT case # 172). |
| |
| 1976 - In Harbor City, Los Angeles County, California while driving |
| on the San Diego Freeway at 11:00 a.m. two witnesses reported |
| sighting a large white metallic domed disc. It was estimated to be |
| between 200 and 300 feet in diameter, and was flying at 3,000 feet |
| altitude. It moved slowly at 5-10 mph, with a titled orientation of |
| 45 degrees to its direction of flight. The craft had a window on its |
| dome. (Source: CUFOS News Bulletin, September 1976, p. 5). |
| |
| 1976 - At 10:30 p.m. a 23-year-old woman stopped her pickup truck on |
| a bridge three miles east of Stacy, Minnesota on Highway 19 in |
| Chisago County when she noticed a green pulsating light off the road. |
| It passed overhead at an estimated 300-400 feet altitude. She |
| estimated the orb was 12-15 feet in diameter. RF interference |
| consisted of CB radio static during the close encounter. After 45 |
| seconds of even flight it shot straight up when it departed. (Source: |
| Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 68). |
| |
| 1977 - Bill Bartlett, age 17, was driving on Farm Street in Dover, |
| Massachusetts with two friends at 11:30 at night when he saw a |
| creature on the top of a stone wall, about 20 feet away. It was |
| between 3.5 and 4 feet tall and had a small, slender body with a very |
| large melon-shaped head, showing no features except two large round |
| orange glowing eyes. Its skin was gray, "like the color of a shark," |
| and it had large hands and feet with digits that appeared to wrap |
| around whatever supported them. It turned its head slowly to stare at |
| them. Bill drove away quickly, but his companions had not seen it. An |
| artist, he made a drawing later for investigators, now widely |
| reproduced in many sources. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-20, citing Loren |
| Coleman, Joseph Nyman, & Walter Webb). |
| |
| 1979 - On this night two Grey aliens materialized briefly in abductee |
| B. Herrmann's home in North Charleston, South Carolina. They appeared |
| in a blue-green haze, and left behind a metal bar with peculiar |
| markings, which they said was a gift of "understanding and respect". |
| (Source: Columbia (SC) State, June 28, 1981; UFO Newsclipping |
| Service, July 1981, p. 6). |
| |
| 1989 - At 9:15 p.m. in Crestview, Florida a man's dog barked as a |
| 90-foot diameter disc-shaped object hovered nearby. The man aimed a |
| .22 rifle at the hovering disc, which had a brilliant white light on |
| the underside and made a humming sound. A light beam engulfed him, |
| his rifle misfired, and the object sped away. (Sources: Allen |
| Reynolds and Dan Wright, MUFON UFO Journal, November 1989, p. 18; |
| Richard F. Haines, CE-5: Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, p. 149; |
| Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II:  A Thirty-Year Report, |
| pp. 31, 282, & 384). |
| |
| 1992 - In Adelaide, South Australia at 8:30 p.m. witnesses watched |
| red and white triangular lights that hovered over the beach for five |
| minutes. At the same time a semi-transparent man was reportedly seen |
| on the beach. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # |
| 15712). |
| |
| 1995 - In Oregon, Illinois a young man and his friend witnessed a |
| domed disc-shaped object pass overhead at 11:49 p.m. It had two |
| lights on each side: a red light in front, and a strobe light behind |
| the red. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle). |
| |
| 1996 - On this evening Teresinha Galo, age 67, reported seeing a |
| strange short humanoid creature with bulging red eyes, brown skin, |
| and a large head with three oval protrusions, near the grounds of the |
| local Jardim Zoologico in Varginha, Brazil in Minas Gerais State. The |
| creature hid behind some bushes. It reportedly wore a golden helmet. |
| Five animals were found dead in the zoo. (Sources: Lumieres dans la |
| Nuit, issue #340; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1996, |
| case # 2446, citing Brazilian UFO Report, issue #6). |
| |
| 1998 - The witness heard something like a police siren as the |
| teardrop-shaped UFO flew by in Broomfield, Colorado at 10:30 p.m. |
| (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, May |
| 1998 archived webpage). |
| |
| 2003 - An employee of a local manufacturing plant in Concord, North |
| Carolina had just finished his shift at 8:00 p.m. and had stepped out |
| onto a dock behind a large stack of pallets to have a smoke. He then |
| had the feeling of being watched, and he whirled around expecting to |
| see a co-worker. Instead he saw a large purple light emanating from a |
| teardrop-shaped craft with a round bottom, hovering nearby. The craft |
| had a concave windshield, and behind the windshield he could see two |
| glowing lights or eyes. They moved independently from one another. |
| Terrified, the witness ran but was unable to scream, so he pointed |
| out the object to a forklift operator. Next a beam of white light |
| shot out of the UFO and struck the forklift. Immediately the |
| electrical system of the vehicle shut down and the operator began |
| screaming. The witness's next memory was of sitting in the plant |
| manager's office. Someone was giving him oxygen and wiping his |
| forehead with a cool cloth. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 2003, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle). |
| |
| 2004 - An irregular shaped UFO was seen hovering over a pond in |
| Newmarket, Ontario, Canada at 2:30 a.m.by a single witness. There was |
| a tube extending from the object that was sucking up water from the |
| pond. Ground marks were reportedly found nearby. At 3:00 a.m. two |
| orange oval-shaped objects flew at great speeds and made hairpin |
| turns while moving about the sky during a thunderstorm in Kemptville |
| near Ottawa, Ontario. (Source: Geoff Dittman, UFO Research Manitoba, |
| 2004 Canadian UFO Survey, cases # 237 & 238, citing HBCCUFO and |
| NUFORC respectively). |
| |
| 2005 - A buzzing sound interupted a witness's piano playing and |
| singing in Piscataway, New Jersey at 10:50 p.m. Looking out the |
| window, only 20-30 feet up in the air and a short distance from the |
| house, was a half lit lighted object with green slats; the object |
| having white and red lights on other side. The close encounter lasted |
| three minutes. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle, report uploaded May 11, 2005). |
| |
| 2007 - A red cigar-shaped object with glowing ends, banded, flew at |
| high speed over Sudbury, Ontario at 2:22 a.m. (Source: Chris |
| Rutkowski, 2007 Canadian UFO Survey, case # 217). |
