|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  July 17 |
| |
| 1948 - At 4:50 p.m. two Kirtland Air Force Base Sergeants on a |
| fishing trip with their families to San Acacia Dam, New Mexico saw a |
| group of seven aluminum circular, possibly spherical, objects |
| approach from the south at 20,000 feet and pass overhead at 1,500 |
| mph. They shifted from a V formation to an L formation, and then to a |
| circular formation and finally to no regular formation, at which |
| point a regular pulsating flashing light appeared amidst the group at |
| 30° from zenith to the north. At this oblique angle the objects no |
| longer appeared circular. They made no noise nor did they leave a |
| trail. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case # 146; Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying Saucers: Top Secret, |
| p. 90; Jacques Vallee, Anatomy of a Phenomenon, p. 53). |
| |
| 1952 - At ten minutes after midnight on State Route 33 in St. Paul, |
| Minnesota four two-foot diameter discs flew through a lightning storm |
| at only 200 feet altitude, making sharp turns. (Source: Loren Gross, |
| UFOs: A History. 1952: June-July 20th, p. 59). |
| |
| 1952 - At 11:00 a.m. an elliptical object was sighted from Lockbourne |
| AFB, Ohio with a pinpoint of flame at the rear that would |
| occasionally flare. The object had a resonant beat as it moved |
| through the sky at high speed. A Project Blue Book "unidentified" |
| case. (Source: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case 1476). |
| |
| 1952 - At the same time as the Lockbourne AFB sighting, a pilot for |
| United Airlines flying over Lake Erie near Sandusky, Ohio saw a |
| saucer-shaped object pacing his airliner. (Source: Dominique |
| Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 17). |
| |
| 1952 - At 2 o'clock in the afternoon two red glowing spheres followed |
| a plane across the sky in Balliettsville, Pennsylvania. (Source: |
| Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 2360). |
| |
| 1952 - At 3:10 p.m. a woman saw two large flying discs over White |
| Plains, New York flying on their edge and making a whirring sound. |
| They were in sight for 5-6 seconds. A Project Blue Book |
| "unidentified" case. (Source: Project Blue Book files counted in |
| official statistics, case 1502). |
| |
| 1952 - In the evening a Master Sergeant near Rapid City, South Dakota |
| saw 12-14 glowing orange objects in the sky. They flew straight and |
| level, and seemed to be going faster than jet aircraft. A Project |
| Blue Book "unidentified" case. (Source: Project Blue Book files |
| counted in official statistics, case 1479). |
| |
| 1955 - Shortly before noon in Bexleyheath, England and while driving |
| a country road with two passengers, Mr. Fry noticed a dark shadow |
| hanging over the road. His car began to slow down, and stop and start |
| intermittently. Above was an gray oval-shaped disc 100 to 150 feet in |
| diameter. It was spinning and making a swishing or humming noise. The |
| UFO flipped over and rose up into the sky. (Source: FSR, November |
| 1976, p. 30). |
| |
| 1955 - At dusk a man in Meopham, Kent County, England had taken his |
| dog out for a walk through some local fields when he suddenly felt |
| that he was being watched. Also, his dog was acting peculiar and the |
| hairs on his dog's back were standing straight up. He looked up and |
| saw a very large, hovering cigar-shaped object with large rounded |
| windows, almost directly overhead. The windows were brightly lit and |
| inside he could see several humanoid figures who appeared to be |
| observing him. The object followed him without making any noise, as |
| he ran with his dog across the fields and to his home. The witness |
| hid inside his house, and he last saw the object hovering over some |
| nearby buildings. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, case # 838, citing Mrs |
| M. Fry, Contact, FSR, Volume. 27, # 5). |
| |
| 1962 - On this day X-15 pilot and future astronaut White was flying |
| at 58 miles above the Earth from his desert takeoff point in |
| California when he saw and took movie film of a grayish-white UFO. It |
| paced the X-15 for five seconds, and then darted above and behind the |
| plane. (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator, September 1962, p. 8). |
| |
| 1965 - On this night in Samarai, Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea a red |
| glowing cylinder moved about in the sky, from left to right. During |
| its oscillating behavior it emitted a sound like a diesel engine. |
| (Source: Michael Hervey, UFOs over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 155). |
| |
| 1965 - Colonia, Uruguay. A blindingly bright object, smaller than an |
| airplane and having metallic legs, was seen on the bank of the Rio de |
| la Plata River by two workers and four young men. White smoke emerged |
| from the craft, which remained on the sand for two minutes, leaving |
| X-shaped ground marks. It flew up to about 10 meters altitude, |
| stopped, then went away. The craft showed a round central section |
| with two oval ends and looked somewhat similar to an egg. (Sources: |
| Belfast News, July 20, 1965; Brad Steiger, Strangers From the Skies, |
|  p. 40; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| case # 655). |
| |
| 1966 - Rebouillon, France. Rene Pebre and two others were driving |
| back from Draguignan at 3:45 a.m. when they saw a gray oval-shaped |
| metallic object, about five meters long, hovering at a low altitude |
| about 300 meters away from them. It emitted a beam of light. They |
| also noticed that there were several window-like openings on the |
| craft. All the dogs in the vicinity were barking. (Source: Jacques |
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 781, |
| citing GEPA, September 1966). |
| |
| 1967 - While driving home at 1:00 a.m. in Newville, Pennsylvania Mr. |
| Stanley L. noticed a light that he first thought was the moon, but it |
| moved towards him and dropped into a position directly in front of |
| his car. It paced him, keeping a distance of 15 to 20 yards, while he |
| drove along at 55 mph. It was a rounded object, 10-15 in diameter, |
| and was glowing brightly with an orange light. Stanley thought he |
| could see the shadowy silhouette of a man inside the object working |
| controls. When he slowed down the UFO rose above the telephone wires |
| but continued to pace him the rest of the way home. At home he called |
| out his sister Joanne, and her boyfriend Carl, and all three of them |
| saw the object hovering over a field. When he drove away it followed |
| his car again, and returned with him to the house where they could |
| now make out the form of the occupant inside the object. The object |
| made no sound. While they went inside the house the UFO disappeared. |
| This encounter occurred during a continuing wave of UFO sighting |
| reports in south central Pennsylvania. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-58 |
| (A0830), citing Ivan Kerns, NICAP). |
| |
| 1967 - At 3:15 in the afternoon in Arc-sous-Cicon, Doubs department, |
| France four children saw three dark humanoids with protruding |
| stomachs who spoke an unintelligible language that sounded like |
| musical tones. They were dressed in black suits. Broken vegetation, a |
| circle of burnt grass four meters in diameter, and three small |
| footprints were found at the site. Several hours later there were |
| widespread reports of fireballs seen by hundreds of people throughout |
| Europe. Some believed these sightings were the result of a satellite |
| re-entry or possibly a spectacular meteor. According to investigator |
| Eric Zurcher, "We now know that the beings in question were already |
| in the area three days earlier, since they were seen on the 14th and |
| 15th by an agricultural worker." (Sources: France Soir, July 20, |
| 1967; Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue no. 95; Ted R. Phillips, Physical |
| Traces Associated with UFO Sightings, case 285 citing Spacelink |
| magazine; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, cases 1967-59 & 1967-61, citing Eric Zurcher and Joel |
| Mesnard for GEPA; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, case # 855). |
| |
| 1967 - Mr. E. Browne of Belfast, Northern Ireland was walking in the |
| woods near his home on this evening when he came upon a "dish-like" |
| object hovering eight feet above the ground. It was a dull blue-gray |
| color with a rough and pitted outer surface, and about the size of a |
| car. An opening appeared in the center of the underside and two |
| silver suited, human-like figures dropped slowly to the ground and |
| then walked away into the woods. Several minutes later they came back |
| and drifted back into the craft, which rose silently into the air and |
| vanished from sight. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-60, citing Flying Saucer |
| Review, November-December 1967; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: |
| A Century of Landings, case # 856; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, |
| Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, p. 473). |
| |
| 1967 - At 11:25 p.m. Mrs. Emma Funk was driving down Route 22 north |
| of Millertown, New York when a shiny black object about the size of a |
| baseball flew into the car's headlights. It came right up to her car, |
| seemed to brush against the windscreen, then veered off to the left. |
| When it made contact the car lit up "like a giant electric light |
| bulb." The engine and headlights failed and she lost consciousness. |
| When she recovered the car was pointing in the opposite direction and |
| there was a cracked area the size of a man's fist in the windshield. |
| In September she underwent hypnotic regression in which she spoke of |
| the radio being filled with static and unspecified beings, which |
| turned the car around and struck her across the chest with a rod. |
| (Sources: Larry Fawcett, APRO; Peter Rogerson, Worldwide Catalogue of |
| Type I Reports, citing William Donovan, A.I.R.). |
| |
| 1968 - Near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at around eleven p.m. a civil |
| servant named Pedro Dema Filho heard a loud humming noise and was |
| blinded by a powerful beam of light accompanied by two green lamps. |
| These vanished, and from a door in a UFO emerged four short greenish |
| entities not much over 20 inches tall, wearing something like |
| headphones. They quickly approached and paralyzed him, and he was |
| unable to run away. They next seized him and dragged him into their |
| craft, the interior of which “looked like a laboratory”. There they |
| questioned him, apparently using telepathy, at length about human |
| customs. They didn't seem to have mouths. After that, they undressed |
| him and conducted a detailed physical examination. They put a |
| luminous wire device into his mouth that made his body appear |
| transparent. During this procedure his limbs felt cold, his head felt |
| like it was spinning, and his tongue felt like it had “turned to |
| stone.” They finally released him, and he watched the craft fly off |
| leaving a luminous trail. He felt no subsequent ill effects. |
| (Sources: Gordon Creighton, FSR, September-October 1969, p. 32, |
| citing Gazeta Noticia, July 21, 1968; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1968-46, citing FSR). |
| |
| 1969 - At 10:50 a.m. in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia a poor quality |
| photograph of a gray domed disc was taken. The object was estimated |
| to be 20 feet in diameter. It moved through the sky from the |
| southwest to the northeast at moderate speed, flying at an estimated |
| 2000 feet altitude. (Source: Joseph Erhardt, UFO Chronolog, June |
| 1970, case # 422). |
| |
| 1969 - At 8:25 p.m. near the airport in West Beach, Adelaide, South |
| Australia a pinkish object flying at high altitude first stopped in |
| mid-air, then rocked to-and-fro, and next moved off a short distance |
| to the northeast. It subsequently doubled back, and finally shot |
| straight up and was gone. (Sources: Michael Hervey, UFOs Over the |
| Southern Hemisphere, p. 185; Joseph Erhardt, UFO Chronolog, June |
| 1970, case # 424). |
| |
| 1969 - At 10:30 p.m. a man and a woman suffered physiological effects |
| from a close encounter with a triangular UFO at a farm in Hartford, |
| Vermont. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, September-October 1969, p. 6; |
| Geoffrey Falla, BUFORA Vehicle Interference Project Report, p. 53). |
| |
| 1971 - At 2:00 a.m. a saucer-shaped UFO was seen over a road |
| northwest of Abidjan, Ivory Coast. A car stalled in the presence of |
| the disc, and the witnesses felt a sensation of heat. (Source: |
| Isabelle de Joux, Phenomenes Spatiaux, December 1972, p. 21). |
| |
| 1973 - In the Ramapo Mountains northwest of Oakland, New Jersey at |
| 11:23 p.m. a UFO hovered, then zigzagged slowly about for ten minutes |
| before disappearing into the clouds. There were six calls to the |
| police reporting the object. A balloon-shaped object was sighted in |
| Pompton Lakes, New Jersey at about the same time as sightings over |
| the Ramapo Mountains area. (Source: Ridgewood Herald News, July 19, |
| 1973). |
| |
| 1973 - At 10:00 p.m. on this night three witnesses in the northern |
| Mojave Desert, California observed the descent of a torpedo-shaped |
| UFO over an isolated area, close to a ranch owned by one of them. As |
| the UFO hovered near the ground, three "animate objects" dropped from |
| it to the ground and "ambled" off in different directions. One |
| witness described two glowing reddish lights in what would be the |
| approximate placement of eyes in their heads. The next day tracks |
| similar to those attributed to Bigfoot were made in the area. |
|  (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case # 1973-18 (A1213), citing Peter Gutilla, Saga UFO |
| Report, November 1976). |
| |
| 1974 - Mrs. Jackie Booth of Avon Lake, Ohio--mother of three--had had |
| several UFO sightings earlier in this year in March and April, and at |
| the end of June a strange and totally unexplained condition affected |
| her eyes when light emanated from them for a two hour period. In |
| early July ground marks that could have come from a landed UFO were |
| found on her lawn. On this night she awoke and went to the front door |
| where she found two strange figures standing. They were about five |
| feet tall and had large heads that were flat on top, glowing eyes set |
| wide apart, slit-like mouths, and grayish-colored skin. Their arms |
| were long, but she could not recall any details below the waist. They |
| entered the house and appeared interested in Mrs. Booth's electric |
| organ. She tried to talk to them, but they communicated with her |
| telepathically, and she could "feel my thoughts leave my head." They |
| wanted her to play the organ, so she sat down and played scales, and |
| when she looked up they had vanished. She went back to bed and tried |
| to convince herself it had been a dream. Later, under hypnosis, she |
| recalled additional details. None of her family had awakened during |
| the incident. Other strange incidents subsequently occurred. (Source: |
| David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, |
| case # 1974-37 (A1343), citing Allen Benz for APRO). |
| |
| 1977 - At five o'clock in the morning a glowing sphere landed on the |
| Nova Melia Ranch near Barra do Corda, Maranhao State, Brazil only 200 |
| meters from the ranch owner. After the brightness abated, the ranch |
| owner, Joao Batista Souza, could see that the object was a domed |
| disc-shaped craft, resembling a straw hat. The man hid behind a mound |
| and watched as a door in the craft opened, and a short being about |
| one meter in height got out. The hairy humanoid was carrying some |
| sort of torch emitting a red light in his left hand, and some other |
| type of "tool" in his right hand. The being's face could not be seen |
| because it was wearing a full helmet with "antennae," but the rest of |
| its body was completely covered in hair. At this point the rancher |
| apparently lost consciousness, because members of his family later |
| found him lying where he had hid and carried him into the ranch |
| house, where he remained in bed for several days, too weak to get up. |
| (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1977, case |
| # 2510, citing Daniel Rebisso Geise, FSR, Volume 39, Number 3; Larry |
| Hatch, U computer database, case 12248; citing FSR). |
| |
| 1977 - On this day a police dog handler saw a white cigar-shaped UFO |
| above the village of Arkesden, Essex, England. A woman also reported |
| seeing the same object at the same time, from 20 miles away. (Source: |
| Gary Heseltine, Catalogue of Police Reports of UFOs, case 63, citing |
| The Daily Mail, July 18, 1977). |
| |
| 1978 - A one-meter diameter sphere was seen spinning 1.5 meters above |
| the ground in Castanheira de Pera, Portugal at 5:30 in the morning. |
| At the site witnesses found scorched earth and burnt rocks. Later |
| that evening, at 7:15 p.m., several witnesses saw a circular UFO in |
| the sky above Chacabuco, Argentina. It varied in color between red |
| and yellow. (Source: Victor Lourenco, PORTUCAT: Portugal UFO computer |
| database, case 221; Stendek, December 1978, p. 13). |
| |
| 1983 - On this night an abduction occurred in Sommerecourt, France. |
| At ten o'clock in the evening a luminous globe paralyzed a |
| 45-year-old man, Mr. S. Gasparovic, and then levitated him into the |
| air. He lost consciousness at this point and experienced an episode |
| of missing time. He regained consciousness in the hospital. He was |
| told that he was found wandering "like a robot" and he recalled that |
| he had spoken to small beings with pointed ears. (Source: Lumieres |
| dans la Nuit, issue no. 317). |
| |
| 1986 - A UFO zigzagged over Westwood, Massachusetts at 12:26 a.m. |
| (Source: Paul Ferrughelli, Computer Catalog of UFO Reports, |
| 1988-1994, case 757). |
| |
| 1989 - A mystery animal death and cattle mutilation occurred in Maple |
| Valley, Washington. The tongue, sexual organs, rectum, and part of |
| the jaw had been removed. The scene appeared to be unusually |
| bloodless. (Source: Timothy Good, Alien Contact, p. 154). |
| |
| 1991 - A large crop formation was discovered in a wheatfield near |
| Barbury Castle, England. It consisted of large concentric circles in |
| the center surrounded by a triangle with circles at each of the three |
| apexes. (Source: Lucy Pringle, Crop Circles: The Greatest Mystery of |
| Modern Times, p. 52). |
| |
| 1992 - At 6:30 p.m. a bright UFO was sighted hovering just above the |
| ocean off the coast near Iguape, Brazil. It sucked up a wide column |
| of water. At the same time an engineer from Cascavel, Brazil reported |
| that a bright ball of light followed his car for a few minutes. A |
| saucer-shaped object followed behind the sphere. (Sources: Bob Pratt, |
| UFO Danger Zone: Terror and Death in Brazil-Where Next?, p. 231; |
| Causistica Brasileira de 1992, case 9). |
| |
| 1993 - A peculiar looking robot-like humanoid was seen flying low |
| over the terrain near Rome, Italy. It was viewed by a family with |
| binoculars. While the witnesses was calling the airport the "robot" |
| disappeared from sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1993, case no. 1707, citing London UFO Studies, Skylink, |
| issues # 6 & 7). |
| |
| 1996 - At 9:00 a.m. on I-64 southeast of Damiansville, Illinois a |
| low-flying triangular UFO approached an interstate ramp and then |
| hovered over some trees for 4-5 minutes. It appeared like "polished |
| steel". It made not sound and vanished mysteriously. That evening a |
| woman in Langruth, Manitoba saw a disc-shaped object moving slowly |
| and quietly through her farmyard. The disc was about 3-4 meters in |
| diameter, about half a meter tall, and had slit like lights along the |
| edge. Three circular patches of green growth appeared in the area |
| where the object was first seen. (Sources: Curt Sutherly, UFO |
| Mysteries: A Reporter Seeks the Truth, p. 198; International UFO |
| Reporter, July 1997, p. 32). |
| |
| 1999 - A couple visiting the Pyramids in Giza, Egypt saw multiple |
| unexplained lights flying north toward Giza. The lights settled on |
| the ground and then disappeared. At the site there were dark blue |
| burnt areas, about the size of two football fields. In places the |
| sand had been vitrified in 4-5 foot diameter circles. (Source: UFO |
| Magazine (USA), November 1999, p. 29). |
| |
| 2002 - A bright pulsating ovoid object flew over the river in Perm, |
| Russia at 12:30 a.m. and became obscured by low clouds. Two |
| searchlight beams descended from the sky and scanned the river and |
| nearby homes. After two minutes the beams vanished and the object |
| zoomed away. (Source: UFO Magazine (USA), October 2002, p. 15). |
| |
| 2004 - At 3:00 a.m. a triangular craft was seen hovering over I-70 in |
| Lewisburg, Ohio. At 10:45 p.m. a white circular object came out of |
| nowhere in Portsmouth, Ohio and dropped above a tree. It hovered |
| at 50 feet altitude emitting four light beams, that were directed |
| onto the street below. It made no sound. There were two witnesses and |
| the close encounter lasted an hour. (Sources: Peter Davenport, |
| National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, July 2004 archived webpage; |
| Australasian Ufologist, October 2004, p. 7). |
