+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  August 28 | | | | 1945 - On this day Leonard H. Stringfield was flying to Iwo Jima | | island onboard a U.S. Army Air Force C-46 shortly after the end of | | the war with Japan. Three luminous lights began to follow his C-46 | | transport plane as they approached the island in the Pacific. The | | plane's engines faltered, its magnetic compass failed, and its | | engines temporarily stopped. There were thirteen military witnesses | | on board. Len Stringfield became a life long UFO investigator as a | | result of this encounter. (Sources: Leonard H.

Inside the prow of object | | stood a slender man in green coveralls, and another man who was | | apparently steering the craft inside a glass dome. Their Black | | Labrador dog reacted in terror. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer | | database, citing Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 138). | | | | 1947 - In Fukuoka, Japan at the U.S. Air Force Mew Radar Station | | there was a target picked up (radar only) in orbit at a range of | | 26-30 nautical miles and a bearing of 20-30 degrees. The target | | changed to a heading of 23 degrees and was tracked to a range of 54 | | nautical miles where it faded. The UFO was climbing on an outbound | | course. (Source: Jan Aldrich, Project 1947 Research Notes from | | Bordentown NJ talk April 16, 2005). | | | | 1952 - At 9:30 p.m. USAF control tower operators at Chickasaw and | | Brookley AFB, Alabama, an officer from the USAF Office of Special | | Investigations, and others watched six UFOs hover and fly erratically | | for 75 minutes. They varied in color and intensity from fiery red to | | sparkling diamond white in appearance. They flew erratically up and | | down, and were tracked on radar. (Sources: Project Blue Book files | | counted in official statistics, case # 2006; Don Berliner, Project | | Bluebook UFO Unknowns; UNICAT, case # 442). | | | | 1953 - Fourteen oval flying objects were sighted by a Ground Observer | | Corps watcher in San Rafael, California at 2:25 a.m. They flew | | silently and were in view for three minutes.

One entity, a Cyclops being over eight-feet tall with a | | single eye, floated down to the ground on two vertical beams of | | light. He walked with a strange, swinging motion, then sat down. He | | wore high boots that left a triangular imprint, and carried a box | | emitting flashes. It spoke in an unintelligible language, and made a | | threatening gesture at the two boys, aged 9 and 11, and then flew up | | to the sphere, which left. The chlldren somehow became convinced that | | the being was "good" and would return. The encounter lasted ten | | minutes, with ground traces from the footprints left behind. | | (Sources: Gordon Creighton, The Humanoids: FSR Special Edition No. 1, | | p. 37; Gordon Creighton, UFO Percipients: FSR Special Edition No. 3, | | p. 28; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | case # 580; John Wallace Spencer, UFO Encyclopedia, p. 106). | | | | 1964 - At 10:05 p.m. a ten-foot in diameter yellow ball of light | | crossed highway in front of a car being driven by Mr. P.

It was very bright at one end, and gave off an | | orange hue at the other. (Source: Butler Dermot, Conspiracy of | | Silence: UFOs in Ireland, p. 18). | | | | 1967 - An important close encounter with physiological effects | | happened at Rivers Canadian RAF Base in Manitoba on this date. There | | were two 20 year old military witnesses involved. (Sources: Gene | | Duplantier, Saucers, Space & Science, Summer 1968; Gene Duplantier, | | Flying Saucers, June 1968, p. 22).  | | | | 1968 - At 7:30 p.m. Pedro Aylagas Galvez saw a lighted object in his | | field in Ucero, Soria, Spain that descended 500 meters away and | | emitted a beam of light directed upward. It then made a strange, | | abrupt maneuver, and then shone its light at him, hitting him in the | | face and blinding him and also making his hair stand on end. The | | object descended in a spinning motion, stabilized, and displayed four | | large windows on top with four smaller ones underneath. As he | | watched, he saw four “small dark objects” ejected from its central | | part, which landed on the ground. After about a minute these arose | | and re-entered the hovering UFO, which then ascended and disappeared | | in seconds. The entire incident lasted about seven minutes. Others | | independently reported seeing the object depart. (Source: | | Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in | | Spain and Portugal, case 66; David F.

Hall, | | The UFO Evidence, Volume II:  A Thirty-Year Report, pp. 360 & 380). | | | | 1969 - In a rural area of Burscough, Lancashire, England a | | motocycle's engine suddenly stopped at 8:30 p.m. The driver then saw | | an yellowish-orange, fuzzy, strawberry-shaped thing hovering over a | | nearby field for 15 minutes.His motorcycle functioned normally after | | the UFO left. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle | | Interference, p. 48). | | | | 1969 - At 6:20 a.m. a photograph of a disc-shaped object was taken | | near Fort Morgan, Colorado 70 miles east of Denver on Interstate 76 | | by a man named Vedaa. The photographic negative was submitted to | | quantitative, photometric analysis and judged to be genuine. (Source: | | William H. Spaulding, FSR, May 1976, p. 12). | | | | 1972 - On this night, at least two witnesses, including a woman named | | Benger, had a close encounter with a solid rectangular object with a | | dome and landing gear while driving 40 miles north of Pimba, South | | Australia. The UFO seen at ground level and made no noise. Another | | close encounter with a metallic disc-shaped object occurred at 9:00 | | p.m. in Point Elliot, South Australia. (Source: UFO Research South | | Australia, Australian Centre for UFO Studies case files, cases # | | SA72009 and SA72034). | | | | 1972 - At around 3:00 a.m. Eduardo Dedeu was driving home between | | Medanos and Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina when he stopped to | | pick up a very tall hitchhiker wearing a coat with the collar turned | | up. His chin was much longer than normal. To Dedeu's remarks the | | stranger made unintelligible replies. After several miles, his car's | | lights went out and Dedeu was obliged to stop. Ahead of him on the | | road was what he first took to be an overturned bus, with a large | | blue light in the middle and smaller white lights on the sides. When | | he got out of the car he was dazzled by a brilliant flash of white | | light, accompanied by intense heat; when he could look again he saw | | the object, with white lights in its windows, moving leftward. The | | hitchhiker was gone, and the passenger door handle was detached, | | laying on the floor of the car.

(Source: Michel | | Abrassart, Inforespace, December 1975, p. 29). | | | | 1974 - At 7:30 p.m. three witnesses observed an inverted dish-shaped | | object that flew over the river in Delta, British Columbia, Canada | | and landed 150 feet away in a clearing. It made a buzzing sound on | | descent. It had a square dome on top, with red, green, and white | | lights, and an exhaust hole that burned two circles in the ground, | | 4'6" and 5'6" in diameter. (Sources: Ted R. Phillips, MUFON UFO | | Conference Proceedings 1975, p. 105; Ted R. Phillips, Physical Traces | | Associated with UFO Sightings, case 750). | | | | 1974 - Another physical traces case occurred on this night at 20:30 | | p.m. in Niergnies, Nord, France when a saucer-shaped object with | | "arms" came in low over a beet field. Burnt beet plants were found at | | the site. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 141; Ted R. | | Phillips, Physical Traces Associated with UFO Sightings, case 797). | | | | 1975 - In a scrub pine forest near Truro, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, | | Lloyd Costa saw two people near a round dome like "tent" in the early | | evening. The dome was 20 feet in diameter and only 35 feet away. A | | fluorescent blue light came from inside it. He walked away, but then | | heard a humming noise and looked back to see that the "tent" was | | encircled by multicolored rings. It began to rise and fall, and | | luminous portholes were now visible on the craft. A car stopped and | | Mr. Elfe, a friend, came through the woods calling for him. He also | | saw the UFO. The people near the object were described as resembling | | small "puppets," and were surrounded by something gauzy. There was an | | almond smell in the air that made Mr. Costa sick. His friend helped | | him back to his car. The next day he returned to the spot and found a | | circle of approximately 20 6-inch holes. There were also some pieces | | of a white woven material, "like spider web, but very strong." The | | witness recovered some and took it home. He also took home some of | | the trampled pine needles, which still had the almond-like scent. | | When he put these in a cardboard box next to some potted plants, the | | plants died three days later. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1975-29, citing Budd | | Hopkins & Gerard Stoehrer). | | | | 1977 - A major UFO incident involving 17 police occurred in the | | Windermere area of the Cumbria Lake District, England at 12:10 a.m. A | | diamond or "kite"-shaped UFO was seen for 20 minutes; it had two | | extremely bright lights, and made a faint "purring" sound. There were | | multiple independent witnesses. The UFO eventually flew out to sea. | | (Source: Gary Heseltine, UFO Magazine (UK), July 2003, p. 8; Nick | | Redfern, A Covert Agenda, p. 131). | | | | 1977 - At 2:00 a.m. a close encounter occurred in Cogolludo, | | Guadalajara, Spain when the main witness, Jaine de Frias Redondo, age | | 17, and several of his friends saw a "flattened walnut" UFO. The | | inital sighting lasted just a short time, but then the UFO moved away | | and hovered over Mount Otero for the next two hours, turning its | | lights on and off, with a pulsating white halo. Traces were found: a | | two-meter wide circle, and several holes in the ground 8 cm diameter, | | and 5 cm deep. (Source: UNICAT, case 444, citing Vicente-Juan | | Ballester Olmos, Investigacion OVNI, p. 76). | | | | 1977 - Francis Lloyd, age 24, was driving a large truck from | | Haverfordwest, Wales; with him was John Dwyer, age 16. Two miles | | outside of Carmarthern, on the A48 Highway, they had descended the | | Nanticaws Hill grade at 2:30 a.m. and were about to begin to climb | | the next hill when, at the bottom of the dip, they saw two tall | | humanoid figures standing on the right hand verge near the highway. | | The figures were at least seven feet tall, and were reddish orange in | | color, as if wearing celluloid suits; they had huge heads that | | reminded the witnesses of Guardsmen's Busbies. The figures stood | | motionless, facing each other slightly, and appeared to be holding | | some sort of object between them. They had chrome or silver-colored | | antennae that appeared to come out of their chests and stood as high | | as the tops of their heads. The two men drove right on past without | | stopping, and although the figures were in view for no more than six | | of seven seconds, they were fully lit by the eight headlights of | | their large rig. No craft was seen by either man. Three months later, | | there was a fatal car accident at the same site, killing four men. | | (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case #1977-61 (A1812), citing F. W. Holiday, FSR, Vol. 24, # | | 1). | | | | 1977 - A large, silent delta-shaped object with rounded points was | | seen at 12:38 a.m. hovering over a street in Hayward, California. It | | abruptly turned and followed the witness's car. The two women | | witnesses were able to evade the object by accelerating to 65 mph. | | (Source: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, October 1977, | | p. 3; UNICAT, case # 196). | | | | 1977 - At 10:00 p.m. a  family of three was driving home to | | Portoferraio from an outing in Marciano, Livorno, Italy in rainy | | weather when their headlights illuminated a strange figure walking by | | the side of the road. It looked robot like, had broad shoulders, and | | was wearing a golden, glittering, close-fitting coverall outfit and | | had a broad brimmed hat, with two antennas on its head. The face | | looked like paper mache. They notified the carabinieri, but the | | figure had gone before they arrived at the scene. (Source: David F. | | Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | #1977-47 (A1755), citing Francisco Izzo). | | | | 1978 - Two witnesses on the 5th floor of an apartment building in | | Livorno, Italy were awakened by a buzzing noise. They looked out, and | | saw a domed disc at only 30 meters altitude. It had a transparent | | dome. After a couple minutes it flew away, gaining altitude. (Source: | | Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 12789, citing ITACAT). | | | | 1978 - aT 12:43 P.M. Two small metallic spheres and an oval-shaped | | object followed a Boeing 727 airliner over Mattenheim, Germany. They | | ascended and flew off to the east in sequence. (Sources: Dominique | | Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 41; Richard F. Haines, Project | | Delta, p. 160). | | | | 1978 - At 11:00 p.m. a small, sombrero-shaped domed disc stopped near | | the town of Fontenet, Charente-Maritime, France for a brief while. It | | flew off to the northeast, changing colors with its acceleration. | | (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, January 1981). | | | | 1980 - At 1:15 p.m. a three foot long, football-shaped UFO was seen | | by two men, John F. Clark and Lloyd List, from a Cessna 172 over Red | | Bluff, California. It was solid, smooth, and metallic. It maintained | | its distance ahead of their plane for 5-6 seconds, then was | | overtaken. Its axis was parallel to the horizon, and it did not | | bobble in the plane's turbulence as would a balloon. (Source: UNICAT, | | case # 614). | | | | 1981 - At 9:10 p.m. a 12 meter long, lemon-shaped UFO was seen near | | the ground on a farm in Trevelin, Chabut Province, Argentina, | | hovering at 2 meters altitude. It had extended thin legs for landing | | gear, portholes, and a blindingly bright 1 meter wide searchlight. | | The close encounter lasted five minutes. (Source: Larry Hatch, U | | computer database, case # 14264, citing FSR, volume 28, number 3). | | | | 1991 - At 4:42 a.m. a huge, dirigible-shaped object first attracted | | the attention of the military when it appeared on their radar screens | | over the Mangishlak Peninsula, Shaitan Mazar, Kyrgizstan. It was | | flying from west to east at 960 km per hour, and at an altitude of | | 6600 meters. Thinking that the object might have been launched from | | Kapustin Yar, Mangishlak military personnel contacted the Cosmodrome. | | Kapustin denied any knowledge of the object, although they confirmed | | its appearance on radar. The object failed to respond to attempts at | | communication on any frequency, and since it was flying near a | | restricted area, two MIG-29 fighter jets already on patrol were | | directed to intercept it. In addition, a third jet was scrambled from | | Air Station 7.  | | | | The MIG pilots were directed to intercept the object, to identify it | | if possible, to try to make contact with it, and to force it to land | | at the nearest Air station. If the object failed to cooperate, they | | were directed to shoot it down. The MIGs intercepted the object over | | the western shore of the Aral Sea at 5:12 a.m. The pilots observed | | the object both visually and on their radar screens, and they | | described it as dirigible-shaped, 600 meters long by 110 meters wide, | | with very little surface detail except for two round "portholes" near | | the front, and some sort of strange green markings near the rear. The | | object did not make any hostile moves or react in any way to the | | presence of the jets. When all attempts at contacting the object | | failed, the squadron leader proposed positioning the jets on either | | side of the object at a distance of about 800 meters, and gently but | | firmly directing it to the Air Station. If necessary the jets would | | fire warning shots to encourage the object to cooperate.  | | | | When the jets were in position around the object and within 800 | | meters of it the weapons systems of the MIGs shut down for no | | apparent reason. Worse yet, their engines began to malfunction. The | | object also began to make evasive zigzag maneuvers, and increased its | | speed from 960 km/hour to 6800 km/hour. These maneuvers were verified | | by radar at Baikonur, Alma-Alta, and Bishkek. The jets had no | | alternative but to back off, and the object proceeded east through | | Alma-Alta airspace at the slightly lower altitude of 4500 meters. | | Radar dispatchers in Alma-Alta, fearing a collision with conventional | | aircraft, issued a general alert for air traffic to avoid the | | area. At 5:27 a.m. the object disappeared from radar in the area of | | Lake Issyk-Kul near the border of Kazakhstan.  | | | | A month later reports began to trickle back to Bishkek that a huge | | UFO had been seen to crash into the Tien Shan Mountains, 100 | | kilometers east of Przhevalsk near a peak known as Pik Pobeda (Peak | | of Victory). The actual site lay in a gorge known as "Shaitan Mazar" | | or "Grave of the Devil", near the Saris Dzas River. A search party | | led by Michael Eltchin was dispatched, but were unable to reach the | | site due to heavy snowfall. In June 1992 a second expedition was | | mounted, consisting of three groups of volunteers with | | both scientific backgrounds and mountain climbing experience. The | | expedition arrived at the actual crash site on June 12, 1992, and set | | up a base camp 2.5 km away to the northwest. It was evident that the | | object had slid 1700 meters after hitting the ground. It then | | exploded from within its center, blasting it into almost two equal | | parts and bending its internal structure outwards from the center of | | the explosion. Decks and interior features were visible inside the | | object through a gap made by the blast. The expedition then noticed | | several unusual effects when they began to examine the object. They | | were unable to photograph the object because some sort of radiation | | exposed all their film and ruined all videotape. Whenever a member of | | the party got closer than 800 meters to the object, he began to feel | | unusual anxiety, depression, and exhaustion. Within 800 meters, the | | men's hair stood on end. Instruments showed an unusually high level | | of static electricity in the air, and compasses and magnetometers | | failed to function properly in the vicinity of the object. | | Measurement devices registered no magnetic fields at all within an | | elliptically shaped area centered on the object, and measuring 2230 | | meters long and 1700 meters wide. Even naturally occurring magnetic | | rocks displayed no magnetic field within this ellipse. All clocks and | | wristwatches stopped working at a distance of 600 meters from the | | object. Furthermore, anyone who approached within 500 meters of the | | object began to suffer from some sort of radiation burns. The | | expedition soon had to abandon the site, but planned to return at | | some indefinite time in the future. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1991 | | Humanoid Sighting Reports database, citing Nikolay Subbotin, RUFORS). | | | | 1991 - A close encounter of the second kind occurred at the Yeisk | | Military Aviation School in Russia at 5:31 p.m. (Source: Paul | | Stonehill, The Soviet UFO Files, p. 48). | | | | 1992 - At 1:00 a.m. a very large, fast gray box with a blinking light | | on top, flew to the north-northeast from Goize, Deux-Sevres, France | | on a sinuous flight trajectory.

After returning to her bedroom, she heard a | | cat meowing outdoors, so she went out onto her patio. She next heard | | a deep humming, vibrating sound, and looking up she saw through the | | transparent sky-roof window a large shiny circular flying object, | | which flew off towards some nearby woods and then came back to hover | | over her house. Scared, she ran to her bedroom and hid under some | | blankets. However, the craft then shone a bright beam of light into | | her room through her window. She saw a short Grey humanoid, with a | | huge hairless head and large almond-shaped eyes, peering in the | | window at her. The creature had no lips and only a small slit for a | | mouth, it also had a very thin neck. She estimated it to be the same | | height as her four-year-old brother. When the figure became aware | | that the girl had seen it, it quickly disappeared from view, and in | | the next few moments the circular craft disappeared over some nearby | | trees.
