|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  May 3 |
| |
| 1945 - In the predawn hours a US Army Air Force B-24 bomber flying |
| over Fala Island in the Truk Atoll, the Pacific Ocean encountered |
| two objects with red circles of light, changing color from cherry-red |
| to orange to white lights, and then back to cherry again; they |
| followed aircraft for over an hour while the bomber performed evasive |
| maneuvers; there were no airborne radar returns picked up from the |
| objects. On this evening five orange spheres flying in a triangular |
| formation were sighted by a 415th NFS fighter pilot east of |
| Pfalzerwald, Germany. (Sources: (1) Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO |

| Encounters with UFOs in World War II, p. 163). |
| |
| 1950 - At 3:00 p.m. several girls in Savoyeux-Haute, Haute-Saone |
| department, France saw a large cylindrical object fly rapidly from |
| the south to the north shooting silvery rays. At 4:30 p.m. four discs |
| were sighted by numerous observers in Neuville-sur-Sarthe, Sarthe |
| department, France flying at a low altitude slowly toward the the |
| horizon. They left a trail of smoke. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| issue 211). |
| |
| 1952 - At dawn in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia at least 13 |
| witnesses, including pilots and the RAAF, witnessed a huge "flying |
| submarine" with flashing lights. It was reported to be huge, three |
| times larger than an airliner. (Sources: Michael Hervey, UFOs over |
| the Southern Hemisphere, p. 45; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. |
| 1952: January-May, p. 68; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # |
| 2147). |
| |
| 1952 - On this day two bright discs played tag in the sky over |
| Warragul, Victoria, Australia. They then joined together, merged into |
| one object, then vanished. (Sources: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. |
| 1952: January-May, p. 69; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # |
| 2146). |
| |
| 1952 - On this evening three men in Chestertown, Maryland heard a |
| strange whooshing noise. Looking up, they saw a black speck, high in |
| the sky, moving back and forth. It went straight up out of sight. |
| (Source: Edward Sullivan, Civilian Saucer Intelligence/Los Angeles |
| investigation files, letter from E. Mifflin dated May 5, 1952). |
| |
| 1956 - At 7:32 a.m. several observers including a Ground Observer |
| Corp member, watched two saucers circle in the sky over Pueblo, |
| Colorado and then "wink out". (Sources: Project Blue Book files, |
| report dated May 3, 1956; Alexander Mebane, CSI-New York News, June |
| 1956, p. 8; Loren E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: |
| UFOs: A History. 1956: May-July, p. 2; MUFON UFO Journal, issue # |
| 277). |
| |
| 1961 - On or about this date a hemispherical craft with portholes was |
| sighted resting on a road in Union Mills, Indiana. The time was ten |
| o'clock in the evening. It took off when a car came close to it. Its |
| estimated diameter was four meters, height 2.5 meters, and it bore |
| "fluorescent lights." (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: |
| A Century of Landings, case 518; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. |
| 147). |
| |
| 1965 - On this day in Monte Grande, Entre Rios, Argentina a |
| 37-year-old man named F. Martinez claimed to have had a visitation by |
| and communication with two small alien beings, about three feet tall. |
| The witness was transformed intellectually, with subsequent psychic |
| contact, and two cases of healing. (Source: Gordon Creighton, The |
| Humanoids: FSR Special Edition No. 1, p. 40; David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # A0628, citing |
| Charles Bowen, The Humanoids, p. 112). |
| |
| 1967 - At 6:30 a.m. EDT in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania a gray |
| metallic-appearing disc paced ahead of a car being driven by a Mrs. |
| Smyth on the Schuylkill Expressway near Roxborough. The top section |
| of the craft was revolving and a row of windows was visible around |
| the center. A vapor stream was produced, which changed to red sparks. |
| The object shot up into the overcast, and when it did so the witness |
| experienced jaw pain at that moment. (Source: APRO Bulletin, May-June |
| 1967, p. 12; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence Volume II: A |
| Thirty-Year Report, pp. 268, 338). |
| |
| 1968 - During the evening hours of the night of May 2nd-3rd Miss |
| Shane Kurz, a 19-year-old woman, had watched a luminous cigar-shaped |
| object in the sky for two hours from her home in Westmoreland, New |
| York. It moved in her direction, stopped, then shot straight upward |
| into the sky, turning red in color as it did so. At four o'clock in |
| the morning her mother came into her room and found her lying on top |
| of her bedsheets with her robe and slippers on; both were covered |
| with dried mud, as were her legs. Earlier in the night her mother had |
| found her missing from her bedroom and the door open. |
| |
| Ms. Kurz stayed out of school for the next two days because of |
| depression and recurrent nightmares. Her eyes were causing her pain, |
| and two reddish ring-shaped marks appeared on her lower abdomen. Her |
| menstrual cycle stopped after this incident and did not return again |
| for a year. Later under hypnosis she remembered that she went |
| outdoors in response to hearing her name called, and saw a saucer |
| with windows and a revolving rim hovering close to the ground. It |
| approached her and lifted her inside with a beam of light, after |
| which she found herself in a bare white room. A man shorter than her, |
| with no nose, wearing what looked like a dark "motorcycle jacket" and |
| another being, a "doctor" in a long coat, forced her onto an exam |
| table. He inserted a long needle into her navel. A third being, the |
| "leader," next entered the room. The UFOnauts all had very |
| "penetrating" eyes with no pupils. They said to her, "We've watched |
| you. You're the one. We want you as a mate." He also said that they |
| came "from very, very far." The others went out and the leader |
| proceeded to undress her and then rape her. He told her she would not |
| remember. She was floated down to the ground again by a light beam. |

| Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1968-26, citing Hans Holzer, The Ufonauts). |
| |
| 1969 - On this day in the city of Osasco, Sao Paulo, Brazil a man |
| photographed a saucer-shaped object. It made rapid maneuvers in all |
| directions; a door on the craft opened and a strong beam of light |
| came out. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 8834, |
| citing FSR Case Histories, issue # 7). |
| |
| 1971 - At 10:10 p.m. in Stara Cervka, Slovenia an eight-meter long |
| egg-shaped object landed on three legs for five minutes. It spiraled |
| upward on takeoff. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # |
| 9805, citing FSR, volume 30, number 3 and FSR, v24, #3). |
| |
| 1973 - Many observers in the towns of Pitten and Wingene, West |
| Flanders, Belgium witnessed a large red globe at 4:30 p.m. |
| accompanied by tornado like winds. (Source: J. Bernard Delair, UFO |
| Register, volume 5 (1974), case # 236, citing J. Bonabot). |
| |
| 1973 - On this night at 9:45 p.m. Mrs. Sigrid Karlsson and her son |
| Robert saw an object illuminated by a red light hovering over their |
| neighbor's house in Mantorp, Ostergotland, Sweden. It looked like two |
| saucer plates, separated by a row of broad windows, and it made a |
| loud hissing sound. Robert thought he could see two men inside. As it |
| got closer, its light became yellow-white. (Sources: UFO Information |
| Sweden, May 1973, p. 2; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1973-91 (A1202), citing |
| Canadian UFO Report, #20, 1975; John Magor, Our UFO Visitors, p. |
| P16). |
| |
| 1975 - At 1:30 a.m. a witness in Ashton, Adelaide, South Australia |
| had a close encounter with a blue-green cone-shaped UFO that was |
| making a humming sound. It had light beams and flew off to the west. |
| (Source: Keith Basterfield, UFO Research South Australia, case # |
| SA75008). |
| |
| 1975 - While flying over Lake Tequesquitengo at 1:34 p.m. near Mexico |
| City, Mexico Antonio Santos Montiel, the pilot of a Monteil Piper |
| PA-24, felt a strange vibration, and saw a domed disc three meters in |
| diameter pacing him to his right. There was another identical looking |
| craft on his left. A third disc approached his airplane head on, and |
| he felt a jolt, as if his plane was being lifted. The Mexico City Air |
| Trafffic Control radar showed the UFOs making sharp turns. (Sources: |
| Richard F. Haines, case investigation, report dated August 3, 1975; |
| FSR, February 1976, p. 32; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO |

| Lake Tequesquitengo, Mexico Close Encounter with Possible Levitation |

| [1975 Lake Tequesquitengo, Mexico Close Encounter with Possible |
| Levitation] |
| |
| 1975  - At 9:15 p.m. Alois Olenick, 48, was driving westward on |
| Mogford Road to a nearby store in southern San Antonio, Texas when he |
| saw an amber-colored object rise up from a grove of trees 900 yards |
| away. It then approached his 1959 Chevrolet pickup truck, dropping in |
| altitude, and the main light on the front of the object changed from |
| amber to a blindingly bright, cherry-red light. When it was directly |
| over him it beamed a spotlight on him, and at the same time his |
| truck's lights and engine died, and his truck was nearly buffeted off |
| the road by a strong wind. "When the craft got directly over the top |
| of my pickup," Olenick said, "my lights went completely out and my |
| engine was dead." |
| |
| He got out and saw a globular craft with two conical protrusions on |
| either side that could have been a central ring (making an overall |
| Saturn shape). The bottom was of "highly polished metal" with a |
| reddish glow. When the UFO tipped at a 37-40 degree angle toward him, |
| he could see that the top half was transparent and that it contained |
| two humanoid occupants, visible by a reddish internal light. They |
| were 5-feet tall or less, with bald heads, large pointed ears, long |
| noses, and slit-like eyes. Their skin appeared smooth and grayish in |
| complexion. They seemed to be handling controls. He said, "They |
| appeared to be just as interested in me as I was in them. One of the |
| occupants, the one farthest away from me, appeared to be the pilot |
| and had his hands on what looked like controls. He was looking up and |
| away from me. The other occupant looked directly at me...and appeared |
| to be observing me. I got a good look at both of them. They weren't |
| human beings like we see here." |
| |
| There was no sound of a motor coming from the object, but there was |
| a shriek of wind like a cyclone below the craft. Then the UFO turned |
| its lights off and took off staight up, with a gust of wind that |
| buffeted his pickup, and vanished almost instantly. There was an odor |
| "like burning copper or electrical wiring" (he was a sheet metal |
| worker) that persisted inside the truck for some time. His eyes were |
| affected, and he had to wear dark glasses after the effect for some |
| while as a result. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1975-23 (A1404), citing Gary |
| Graber, Skylook, February 1976, p. 3; Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, pp. 382, 461-462, 490). |
| |
| 1975 - At 11:00 p.m. on the highway N165 west of Quimper, Finistere, |
| France a 6-meter diameter sphere with portholes followed a car |
| west at 200 meters altitude. It hid when the car approached towns but |
| came back. It tracked the car for 20 minutes. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case # 11249, citing Jean-F. Boedec, Les OVNI en |
| Bretagne: Anatomie d'un Phenomene, p. 55). |
| |
| 1977 - At 3:55 a.m. police in Hainault Forest, England took an |
| emergency telephone call. The caller said that some strange UFO was |
| over the forest near the small lake. Two policemen were directed to |
| the scene. Arriving, they proceeded along the lake road and noticed a |
| "large bright red light" across on the eastern shore. They stopped, |
| exited their vehicle, and then observed a "bell tent" shaped thing, |
| about 300 yards distant. This object pulsated continuously from dull |
| to very bright red for the next 2 to 3 minutes. The UFO seemed to be |
| hovering silently. Then, as they watched apprehensively, the object |
| appeared to "dissolve on the spot". Because the thing was no longer |
| visible, the officers somewhat reluctantly decided to go across the |
| lake and investigate the spot. As they were doing this, one of them |
| looked up and briefly saw a thin, large, white crescent shape hanging |
| in the sky. This "apparition" also dissolved on the spot. Reaching |
| the location of ground zero, as best they could tell, they found |
| nothing at all, except a strong smell of burning. No cause could be |
| determined. A report was immediately made to the local UFO |
| investigator [The Essex Hotline], and field investigator Barry King |
| came out and interviewed the officer that very night. In daylight, |
| one large bush was found to have damage: it was flattened in the |
| center and slightly burned. The gorse bush appeared to have had a |
| very heavy weight set on top of it, and the result was to break |
| almost all of the limbs, including snapping off the central branch. |
| The pattern of breakage was to displace the branches into an outward |
| radiating splay. No radiation nor magnetic anomalies were found. |

| Magazine (UK), July 2003, p. 7; Mke Swords, |

| |
| 1977 - At 9:20 p.m. on a clear night a 29-year-old woman in Wilcox, |
| Elk County, Pennsylvania sighted a large silver sphere near a power |
| plant that had many lights in the middle and was not revolving. It |
| directed a spotlight down, and after 10 minutes shot straight up. |
| There was some kind of animal reaction. (Source: Allan Hendry, |
| International UFO Reporter, June 1977, p. 3). |
| |
| 1979 - A 65-year-old woman named Karlsson had a close encounter with |
| an oval-shaped object in Undenas, Karlsborg Municipality, Vastra |
| Gotaland County, Sweden at 9:00 p.m. It was first seen weaving in and |
| out silently between the trees. It hovered as the witness ran back |
| toward her house, and then shot straight up at very high speed, |
| making two dull explosions like sonic booms. (Source: Acke Svensson, |
| FSR, December 1983, p. 5, citing UFO-Sverige). |
| |
| 1986 - Two witnesses in Bellingham, Washington reported seeing |
| five V-shaped objects that flew in formation, from north to south, |
| and crossed the sky from horizon to horizon in 10 seconds. (Source: |
| Robert Gribble, UFO Reporting Center, case # 1084). |
| |
| 1990 - On this night the public in Chester, England reported seeing |
| strange lights in the sky to police. At 1:00 a.m. two police officers |
| in Backford, near Chester, saw a multicolored (green, red and blue) |
| UFO wobbling in sky, and they watched in amazement. (Source: Gary |
| Heseltine, Police Reports of UFOs, case 147, citing Chester Tonight, |
| May 3, 1990). |
| |
| 1992 - At around midnight three witnesses, members of the Boggs |
| family, in Fordland, Missouri had a close encounter with a dark |
| flying object (estimated to be 8 feet wide by 20 feet long in size) |
| with square windows. At first, 14-year-old Robbie saw a line of |
| bright lights that hung over a slight rise in the pasture, less than |
| 100 yards from their farm house, and maybe ten feet above the ground. |
| Both ends of the line appeared to curve away, giving the impression |
| that the lights were attached to an oval structure of some sort. It |
| flew slowly but directly over their heads at no more than 25 feet. |
| Although they could see the outline of the lights, the object itself |
| was invisible. The UFO then moved on away from the house, passing |
| between two trees with only a few feet to spare. The trees were |
| undisturbed by the proximity of the object. A pole light on the far |
| side of the driveway went out as the UFO approached, the |
| photoelectric switch apparently triggered by the brightness of the |
| object's lights. The object was just beyond this yard light when all |
| of its own colored lights went dark, to be replaced by a single white |
| light shining from the rear. At this same moment the sound that had |
| been coming the the UFO ceased. Surprisingly, the family did not stay |
| outside to watch the UFO depart. They expressed surprise themselves |
| at that fact, that when the colored lights went out they only could |
| recall turning away and going back into the house. (Source: Francis |
| Ridge, www.nicap.org/920503fordlanddir.htm, citing Amateur UFOlogy |
| News, volume 4,  number 9) |
| |
| 1995 - At 4:05 a.m. a trucker driving on Interstate 90 near |
| Amsterdam, New York sighted a domed disc while driving. It had a very |
| bright, white light, so he could clearly see both the lower disc |
| portion and the dome. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, 1995 report). |
| |
| 1996 - Police in Nayarit, Mexico reportedly fired a hail of bullets |
| at a creature on this night. Apparently unharmed, it turned about to |
| glare at them with "fiery red eyes" set in a humanoid face. The |
| entity then jumped over a meter high fence and got away. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, 1996 Humanoid Sighting Reports Database, case # |
| 3532, citing Virgilio Sanchez-Ocejo). |
| |
| 1997 - A couple returning from work at 1:30 a.m. in Meilleraye de |
| Bretagne, Loire-Atlantique, France saw a point more luminous than |
| stars. It approached at high speed and the witnesses could see that |
| its shape was round; it passed just above them and then flew away to |
| the south. Air displacement was heard. (Source: GEIPAN, case 251). |
| |
| 2000 - At 2:54 a.m. Rene Ruiz, a 55-year-old man from Orlando, |
| Florida, found himself inside a huge craft surrounded by blinding |
| lights and looking at something resembling an X-ray machine. He also |
| encountered several 6-foot tall humanoids, who had large oval-shaped |
| heads and skin that was grayish in color. However, there was one |
| being who was different; Rene described him as short with a huge head |
| and light blue in color. After lossing recollection of what happened |
| next, Mr. Ruiz found himself back in his home. Subsequently, his body |
| turned a sickly yellow jaundiced color, and he suffered from constant |
| nausea with frequent vomiting. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 2000 |
| Humanoid Sighting Reports Database, case # 3828, citing UFO Abduction |
| Raw Data Page, UFO Watch). |
| |
| 2002 - In Alvear, La Pampa Province, Argentina several young men were |
| walking home at midnight along a deserted road when out of nowhere a |
| female figure with long black hair appeared in front of them, wearing |
| a light flowing gown. The strange figure was very pale and appeared |
| elderly. It repeatedly asked for assistance from the men in an urgent |
| tone. Terrified, the men ran from the area and later returned with |
| other witnesses, but could find no trace of the strange apparition. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 2002 Humanoid Contact Database, citing |
| Fabio Picasso). |
| |
| 2003 - At 3:30 a.m. a man was sitting on his back porch in North |
| Richland Hills, Texas looking out at the horse pasture behind his |
| home. The pasture held several horses but he could not see them |
| because they were at the other end of the field. He heard what |
| sounded like the horses kicking a metal sheet and squealing loudly. |
| He also heard dogs barking in the distance. Just as he strained to |
| look over to the horse shed everything became completely quiet. The |
| witness started to feel scared by the eerie silence, and as he |
| stepped off his porch he started to hear a low whirring sound. He |
| next saw a light beam flash on the ground in the middle of the |
| pasture. The source was a black craft, hovering about 100 feet above |
| the ground. It was shooting flashes of light at the ground from a pod |
| on the right end of the craft. The craft had a multicolored mist or |
| hot looking gas on the bottom of it, on the left side was what looked |
| like a red rectangular window. Inside he could see movement, but at |
| that moment he began to feel sick. The craft appeared to be about 50 |
| feet long with a dull blue light on the top. After five minutes the |
| whirring sound faded and the craft hovered silently for another two |
| seconds before it zipped straight up and out of sight without a |
| sound. He then noticed that the electrical power seemed to be off in |
| the neighborhood. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, 2003 Humanoid Contact |
| Database, citing Peter Davenport, NUFORC; Joan Woodford, |
| www.nicap.org NSID04 cases, citing NUFORC). |
| |
| 2004 - At 8:30 p.m. a witness and son in Dijon, Côte-d'Or, France saw |
| for the second time several yellow and green balls moving in the sky. |
| The BOLs were ten times larger than a star, and were coming together |
| fast. The sighting had a 15 minute duration.(Source: GEIPAN, case |
| 391). |
| |
| 2006 - At 10:35 p.m. a woman coming home from work on rural roads in |
| Franklin, Indiana sighted a triangle shaped object with three lights, |
| one on each apex, and one in the middle, hovering over the Union |
| Elementary School in Union Township. She stopped the car and got out |
| to observe. It was estimated to be 1500 feet in the air, and made |
| absolutely no sound as it hovered. It appeared to be a deep black in |
| color, darker than the night sky, and almost seemed to absorb any |
| light; the lights did not appear to illuminate anything under it. It |
| was near the restricted military airspace for Camp Atterbury, located |
| 20 miles south. She watched until the craft slowly moved off to the |
| northwest. (Source: Peter Davenport, NUFORC, May 2006 webpage, |
| reported May 4, 2006 and uploaded May 15, 2006). |
| |
| 2006 - In Chilliwack, Fraser Valley, British Columbia a very large, |
| silent, dark pyramid-shaped object was sighted at 10:45 p.m. by six |
| witnesses. It was slow moving. The sighting lasted two minutes. |
| (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2006 Canadian UFO Survey, case # 192). |
| |
| 2007 - At 4:23 a.m. a metallic object descended at odd angle and |
| landed in a wooded area in Biglerville, Adams County, Pennsylvania. |
| It stayed there for about 20 minutes before disappearing quickly. No |
| further details. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, May 2007 webpage, report uploaded June 12, 2007). |
| |
| 2007 - At 9:30 p.m. a triangular craft was seen hovering over |
| Abingdon, Harford County, Maryland, moving very slowly and silently |
| over a residential neighborhood. It had one row of 3-4 lights lit up |
| on one side of the craft.(Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, May 2007 webpage, report uploaded June 12, 2007). |
| |
| 2010 - A witness walking on the South campus of the University of |
| Nebraska in Omaha, Nebraska reported being chased by a diamond-shaped |
| UFO at 9:17 p.m. The witness reported being frightened, and |
| sheltering by running into the South campus building. "It was a |
| beautiful looking ship but really horrible when they were approaching |
| towards me," the witness wrote. The event lasted four minutes. |
