| Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
|

| |
|
|||
|
|
| March 18 |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1950 - On this day in 1950, several sightings of daylight discs occurred |
|
|||
|
|
| over the United States, Europe, and South America. |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1950 - At the Atlanta Municipal Airport, Georgia six airline pilots |
|
|||
|
|
| on the tarmac reported sighting an aluminum colored disc that flew |
|
|||
|
|
| silently toward the southwest at between 6000 and 7000 feet altitude. |
|
|||
|
|
| It then made an "impossible climb." (Source: Michael Hitt, Georgia |
|
|||
|
|
| UFO Phenomenon, 1947-1987, p. 9). |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1950 - A large number of saucers, performing aerobatics, appeared |
|
|||
|
|
| over Farmington, New Mexico around noon, and then flew away at an |
|
|||
|
|
| estimated 1000 mph. A luminous, metallic appearing disc was sighted |
|
|||
|
|
| five miles northeast of Bradford, Illinois at 8:40 a.m. (Source: |
|
|||
|
|
| unnamed newspaper clippings, March 18 and 19, 1950). |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1950 - At a ranch in Lago Argentino, Argentina, Mr. Wilfredo H. |
|
|||
|
|
| Arevalo, a rancher, saw two objects, one of which landed at 6:30 p.m. |
|
|||
|
|
| He walked within 150 meters of the aluminum looking craft that gave |
|
|||
|
|
| off a blue-green vapor with "an intense smell of burning benzene." A |
|
|||
|
|
| large, flat section on top was revolving above a glass cabin in which |
|
|||
|
|
| could be seen four tall men with pallid faces, dressed in something |
|
|||
|
|
| like cellophane, working at various instruments. When they saw him |
|
|||
|
|
| they shone a light in his direction while a blue light illuminated |
|
|||
|
|
| the craft. The vapor increased and flames, alternately red and green, |
|
|||
|
|
| shot out of the base while the object rose with a faint hum. Both |
|
|||
|
|
| craft flew away toward Chile, leaving bluish trails. (Sources: Coral |

|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1963 - In 1963 a UFO was seen from Cape Canaveral, Florida as a Minuteman |
|
|||
|
|
| missile malfunctioned and veered off course. On that same night, at |
|
|||
|
|
| 8:30 p.m., the crew of a Greek ship, the "Hellenic Laurel", watched a |
|
|||
|
|
| bright white fireball shoot to the east for one minute. It was |
|
|||
|
|
| described as the apparent size of the Moon, and it left a bright |
|
|||
|
|
| white contrail. (Sources: NICAP Investigator, March-April 1963, p. 4; |
|
|||
|
|
| APRO Bulletin, September-October 1963, p. 6). |

| 1965 - At 7:00 p.m. on this day, while flying between Himeji and |
|
|||
|
|
| Matsuyama, Japan the crew of a Japanese airliner Convair 240 sighted |
|
|||
|
|
| three elongated objects and one circular UFO at the same time that |
|
|||
|
|
| the plane's automatic direction finder malfunctioned. The circular |
|
|||
|
|
| UFO was described as 15 meters in diameter. The UFOs were also |
|
|||
|
|
| sighted by a private pilot in a Piper Apache flying over Dishima |
|
|||
|
|
| Island. (Sources: Japan Times, March 21, 1965; Brad Steiger, |

|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1966 - One year later (1966), at 4:00 p.m., a shiny metallic cigar-shaped |
|
|||
|
|
| UFO, approximately 60 feet long, and completely smooth and |
|
|||
|
|
| featureless, was sighted off the coast, 10 miles north of Puerto |
|
|||
|
|
| Deseado, Argentina. The UFO emitted a gray vapor from its rear. It |
|
|||
|
|
| then vibrated; made a louder rumbling noise, and a black smoke |
|
|||
|
|
| emerged from the rear. The nose of the object tilted up as the object |
|
|||
|
|
| flew erratically to the northeast, then hit the water and disappeared |
|
|||
|
|
| beneath the surface. (Source: Phenomenes Spatiaux, March 1970, p. |
|
|||
|
|
| 17). |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1967 - In 1967 at 7:50 p.m. a domed oval or domed disc was seen surrounded |
|
|||
|
|
| by a ring of vapor in Stow, Massachusetts. The UFO glowed violet when |
|
|||
|
|
| it was stationary, but changed to a reddish orange color when it |
|
|||
|
|
| danced around in the sky. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: |
|
|||
|
|
| Interplanetary Visitors, p. 346). |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1967 - That same night in Lebanon, Ohio a 50-foot diameter, round object |
|
|||
|
|
| hovered over the treetops near a highway. It was glowing white, |
|
|||
|
|
| sometimes red, with a "halo effect" and appeared to be rotating. The |
|
|||
|
|
| headlights of a car passing nearby went out. The object emitted a |
|
|||
|
|
| high-pitched sound, and after its departure, the car's headlights |
|
|||
|
|
| functioned normally. (Sources: FSR, March-April 1971; Mark Rodeghier, |
|
|||
|
|
| UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 193). |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1969 - In 1969 a luminous, football-shaped flying object landed 3 meters |
|
|||
|
|
| from a stranded truck that was stuck in some mud, on a road between |
|
|||
|
|
| Ollague and San Martin, Chile. The driver and two passengers watched |
|
|||
|
|
| the UFO for ten minutes until it took off. (Source: CICA Botetin |
|
|||
|
|
| Informative, December 1969). |
|
|||

| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1972 - The next close encounter occurred in 1972 over the mountains of Upper |
|
|||
|
|
| Austria, at 11:35 p.m. Flying between Krems and Linz, Austria an |
|
|||
|
|
| Austrian DC-9 airliner had a near collision with a huge funnel of |
|
|||
|
|
| white light, which changed color to red. The aircraft's electronic |
|
|||
|
|
| instruments all went haywire during this close approach. (Source: |
|
|||
|
|
| Alexander Keul, APRO Bulletin, March 1972, p. 1). |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1975 - In 1975, four photographs of a sombrero-shaped UFO were taken by a |
|
|||
|
|
| 19-year-old student named McCarthy at a quarry off of highway 5 near |
|
|||
|
|
| Waterdown, Ontario, Canada shortly after 1:00 p.m. The UFO was |
|
|||
|
|
| described as being the size of a DC-8 airliner. The UFO had many |
|
|||
|
|
| unblinking lights, and flew from east to west, while maneuvering, at |
|
|||
|
|
| a low altitude. (Source: APRO Bulletin, October 1975, p. 1). |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
| silent, elongated nocturnal light through three towns at 8:45 p.m. |
|
|||
|
|
| EST. At 8:30 p.m. MST a V formation of fast moving lights, most |
|
|||
|
|
| likely from a single, very large craft, were seen heading toward |
|
|||
|
|
| Prescott, Arizona. (Sources: Francis Ridge, UFO Info News; Michael |
|
|||

|||
|
|
| 1978 - On the evening of this date an auto mechanic observing a UFO |
|
|||
|
|
| through binoculars in North Charleston, South Carolina was rendered |
|
|||
|
|
| unconscious and levitated by a tubular, aquamarine beam of light. |
|
|||
|
|
| Amnesia followed and he found himself alone in a field miles away |
|
|||
|
|
| from where he had encountered the disc-shaped UFO. Through hypnosis |
|
|||
|
|
| he recalled an abduction sequence by four-and-a-half-foot tall beings |
|
|||
|
|
| with spongy white skin, big eyes and head, that wore rust colored |
|
|||
|
|
| jump suits. Among the features of the abduction included a physical |
|
|||
|
|
| exam on a table inside the UFO, being given messages and an artifact. |
|
|||

| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1982 - Mr. J. Duty, an Army reservist, watched a domed disc-shaped UFO hover |
|
|||
|
|
| off to the left side of a highway in Flatwoods, Kentucky around 10:40 |
|
|||
|
|
| p.m. in 1982. The disc had red, green, blue, and white lights around |
|
|||
|
|
| its base, which blinked in rotation. It made a humming noise, circled |
|
|||
|
|
| the witness's car, then flew away. (Source: George Parsons, field |
|
|||
|
|
| investigator, CUFOS investigation files; Richard Hall, MUFON UFO |

|
|
| 1995 - In 1995 two bright white UFOs paced a car southwest of Falkirk, |

|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
| 8-12 feet wide fly out from behind a rood only 100-130 feet away. The |
|
|||
|
|
| lower part of the object was revolving, and it had a pinkish-red |
|
|||
|
|
| flashing light on it. The ends of the objects looked like manta-ray |
|
|||
|
|
| fins, and it floated oddly through the sky for four minutes. They |
|
|||
|
|
| claim to have taken photographs. (Source: Peter Davenport, National |
