|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |

|  May 28 |
| |
| 1956 - A blue glowing disc flying on edge pursued a car in Kwekwe, |
| Zimbabwe in what was then Rhodesia. It made instantaneous maneuvers, |
| and illuminated a farm as it flew over. (Source: Cynthia Hind, UFO |
| Afri News, January 1996). |
| |
| 1961 - A luminous disc was seen by airmen circling below at sea level |
| northeast of Florianopolis, Brazil on this night. It climbed to the |
| altitude of the DC-3 and circled the plane, then paced the aircraft |
| as it flew to the northeast. (Source: APRO Bulletin, November 1961). |
| |
| 1965 - The crew of an Ansett-ANA DC-6B airliner flying over the |
| Bougainville Reef between Brisbane, Queensland, Australia enroute |
| to Port Moresby, New Guinea called Townsville Air Traffic Control at |
| 3:25 a.m., and said they were being paced by a UFO. They took several |
| photographs of the spherical, slightly oblate object, which was flat |
| on the top and bottom. The aerial encounter lasted 10-15 minutes, |
| resulting in several photographs. The film was conficated by the |
| Australian military and never returned. The audio tapes of the |
| conversation with air traffic controllers were also confiscated and |
| the operator on duty, William Orr, was told to "shut his mouth" about |
| the incident or face dismissal. (Sources: Gordon I. R. Lore, Jr., |
| UFOs: A New Look, p. 6; UNICAT, case 693; Australian FSR, December |
| 1972, p. 3; Richard Hall, Uninvited Guests, p. 251; Richard H. Hall, |
| The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 283, citing |
| Detective John Meskell, Criminal Investigation Branch, Townsville). |
| |
| 1967 - A glowing object flew over Murray Bridge, South Australia at |
| two o'clock in the morning. It flew to the west at a speed under 100 |
| mph. (Source: UFO Research South Australia, report # SA67005). |
| |
| 1967 - A bright reddish orange domed ovoid objecty swooped over the |
| town of Mankato, Minnesota at 12:30 a.m. It made a roaring "swoosh" |
| sound as it did. (Source: NICAP files, report dated May 30, 1967). |
| |
| 1967 - At 12:01 p.m. a cigar-shaped object with windows and |
| protrusions flew over Wallingford, Connecticut. With clouds as a |
| reference in the background, it was estimated to be about 3000 feet |
| distant, and moved at an estimated speed of 500 mph as in went behind |
| some clouds. (Source: NICAP files, report dated June 5, 1967). |
| |
| 1968 - At 10:15 three objects were spotted suddenly descending over |
| Roxbury, Massachusetts making an intermittent roaring sound. The |
| closest object was oval shaped with a blue glowing square on its |
| underside. A buzzing sound vibrated the witness's eardrums and was |
| felt in the stomach. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler case files, report |
| dated June 14, 1968). |

| |
| 1969 - At two a.m. farmers in Caltowie, South Australia watched as a |
| bluish white object followed two young men home. It started to |
| revolve making a whining noise, then a high-pitched beeping. Four |
| legs protruded from the bottom of the object. A second orange UFO |
| appeared. Ground traces of a landing were found in a nearby field, |
| and some soil appeared to have been taken. (Source: Michael Hervey, |
| UFOs Over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 184). |
| |
| 1974 - A 50-75 foot diameter UFO landed on a nearby hill on this |
| night in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The witnesses were too afraid to |
| approach it. After awhile it lifted off, rotated on its central axis, |
| and moved away rapidly. A grayish residue was found at the landing |
| site. (Source: J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies case files). |
| |
| 1977 - At 3:10 a.m. a large dark box-shaped object shot up from the |
| ground near a utility pole in St. Roch, France lighting up the area. |
| Traces were found at the site. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| October 1978). |
| |
| 1993 - Near Victoria, Entre Rios province, Argentina four witnesses |
| noticed a bright light floating very close to the ground at 10:20 |
| p.m. within a wooded area. It rose above the treetops and illuminated |
| the ground with a powerful beam of light. Its movements were erratic |
| and sometimes slow, and it soon disappeared from sight. After ten |
| minutes another four witnesses arrived and the craft returned, this |
| time closer to their position. It seemed to float about five meters |
| above the ground. Using binoculars they were able to see several very |
| tall human-like silhouettes, about 2.7 meters in height, moving |
| around on the ground in front of the light. A similar object was seen |
| the next day in the same woods. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1993, citing Raul Oscar Fantini). |
| |
| 1999 - At 11:30 in the morning a metallic triangular shaped craft was |
| videotaped flying at a high speed only six feet above the rolling |
| hills near Wessenden Reservoir in England. It disappeared over the |
| crest of a hill. (Source: George Filer, MUFON UFO Journal, July 1999, |
| p. 15). |
| |
| 2003 - A fast moving "shimmering shadow" with orange triangular |
| leading edges moved through the sky over Boise, Idaho at 11:00 p.m. |
| It shimmered as if emitting a great deal of heat. It flew in a |
| straight line and crossed the sky in 8 to 10 seconds without making a |
| sound. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle). |
