+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  September 10 | | | | 1951 - U.S. Air Force pilots Lt. Wilbert Rogers and Major Ezra | | Ballard were flying in a T-33 at 20,000 feet from Dover AFB when at | | 11:35 a.m. EDT they saw a silvery metallic disc-shaped object to | | their 11 o'clock position and below their aircraft, three miles | | northeast of Sandy Hook, New Jersey. It was silhouetted against the | | ground. Rogers immediately turned left and descended to intercept the | | craft, which then banked revealing its flat round profile, with no | | appendages. The UFO curved in a tight turn, covering an estimated 30 | | nautical miles in two minutes at a speed estimated between | | 1,000-1,500 mph. The object passed within about 8,000 feet distance | | of the T-33, descending from about 12,000 feet to 5000 feet and | | heading out to sea at high speed near Point Pleasant. The aerial | | sighting lasted two minutes and was rated a high reliability unknown | | by Project Blue Book and Dr. James McDonald.

A farmer, Mr. Mazaud, age 50, was walking | | home when he was suddenly confronted with a helmeted being of average | | height who made friendly gestures, then went back into the brush, | | entered a cigar-shaped object about four meters long, which took off | | toward Limoges. A few minutes later witnesses in Limoges reported a | | disc-shaped, red object leaving a bluish trail. (Sources: Le | | Parisien, September 14, 1954; Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the | | Straight Line Mystery, p. 40; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia, p. | | 209). | | | | 1954 - A metal worker, Marius Dewilde, age 34, came out of his house | | in Quarouble, France at 10:30 p.m. when his dog was barking and saw a | | dark object sitting on the railroad tracks. He then observed two | | dwarfs walking toward it. When he tried to stop them, he found | | himself blinded and paralyzed by a strong orange beam of light that | | was projected at him. The beings were under 1 meter (3.3 feet) tall, | | bulky, and wore dark diving suits with diver's helmets. No faces or | | arms were visible. Imprints were made by an object, that an engineer | | estimated must have weighed 30 tons. French police and the French Air | | Force investigated the case.

De Paolo in Cedar Grove, New Jersey sighted four | | white lights at 7:09 p.m. They were seen in the northern sky, heading | | west for 45 seconds. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO | | Unknowns). | | | | 1965 - Antonio Pau Ferro, a farmer, was working in his cornfield in | | Sao Joao, Pernambuco State, Brazil at 8:30 in the morning when he | | heard a rushing noise and saw two luminous discs five feet wide and | | two feet thick, come down nearby. They discharged two small beings, | | 27-31” tall, and then rose to hover at 15 feet. The entities had | | reddish brown, wax-like complexions and wore tight fitting one | | piece-outfits. They spoke an unknown language, smiled at the witness, | | and picked a tomato; then the two discs came down and picked them up, | | rising vertically with a whistling sound. The farmer said that they | | appeared quite human, except for their strange skin color and their | | size. (Sources: David F.

It discharged yellow, blue, and orange | | lights from slits around its circumference. Four people--a local | | reporter, a bullfighter, and two taxi drivers--saw a creature with | | glowing catlike eyes dressed in black, walking down the street. The | | entity was holding a metallic tube. When they pursued the being | | it vanished suddenly. (Sources: Chicago Tribune, October 14, 1965; | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case | | 699). | | | | 1965 - On or about this date three women in Mexico City, Mexico were | | said to have observed a group of giant beings, three meters tall, | | without noses or mouths but with bright red eyes, wearing gray | | uniforms and boots. No object was described. (Source: Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 700). | | | | 1967 - At 6:03 p.m. flying over the Pyrenees Mountains in a DC-6 at | | 16,000 feet altitude, 65 miles north of Reus, Tarragona, Spain three | | men, Underhill, Hope and Dunlop, sighted an inverted flying cone, | | silver on top, with a curved base, that looked metallic and solid. | | Its minimum distance was estimated to be 1/2 mile, and it was moving | | opposite to the plane. It was initially higher, then half a | | mile below. The sighting lasted more than two minutes.

Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1968-96 (A1570), citing Carlos | | Banchs). | | | | 1975 - On this evening two children in Moulin Sous Fleron, Liege, | | Belgium were frightened by a being dressed entirely in black that | | moved like an ape and jumped from the bushes in front of them. They | | ran to a neighbor's house. Twenty minutes later the same being was | | seen again by another witness, who reported that the being had thrown | | rocks at him. No UFO was reported.

At 12:45 a.m. mechanic Bill Pecha and | | other household members noticed a complete electrical system failure | | in their mobile home. Next, stepping outside to check the circuit | | breakers, he felt static electricity and spotted a brightly lit, 150 | | foot domed disc-shaped object with a clockwise rotating rim hovering | | almost overhead, just 50-60 feet away. The object had a red light in | | front and other lights on either end, and the bright light that came | | from the bottom of the object dimmed when hovering. On the underside | | it had 6-8 dangling cables, and on each were two arms with hooks | | which retracted when Pecha stepped toward the object. The object | | retreated, moving slowly out over a field, with the cables still | | retracting. The white light underneath intensified and a cone of | | light was projected downward, but initially the beam was truncated | | before reaching the ground. The object maneuvered above a neighbor's | | house illuminating the ground with beams of light. Two other similar | | UFOs were seen in the distance casting blue light beams down onto | | power lines, and an arc of light was extending upward from the power | | lines to the objects. When the object shot away at high speed to the | | west, it lit up the foothills, then it rushed back over the | | neighbor's property again as the other two, more distant object sped | | away in different directions, and were gone in 30 seconds. The power | | came back on in Mr. Pecha's mobile home; the entire elapsed time of | | the close encounter was 9 minutes.

(Source: Bob Pratt, Operacao Prato, p. 11). | | | | 1978 - At 4:40 p.m. two men were sitting at home watching | | television in Las Salinas, San Miguel de Tucuman, Tucuman State, | | Argentina when they starting having TV interference. They next | | attempted to use a stereo player, and then the radio, but these did | | not function properly either. They then heard some noises coming from | | an adjoining shop that was connected to their house. When they went | | to investigate, they found some broken bottles on the floor and some | | other damage. Moments later, they became aware of presence of two | | short beings standing nearby. These beings were dressed in bright | | blue, one-piece suits, dark blue helmets, and high boots also bright | | blue in color; on their arms they wore shiny black gauntlets that | | went above the elbow. Their faces were brown and their complexion | | seemed pockmarked, their eyes looked normal and their noses were | | flat. One of the figures was holding an object that looked like a | | "hair dryer", and was pointing it at the witnesses. Both men then | | received a telepathic message warning them not to scream. At this | | point one of the men ran for the door, and in response both | | figures put their fingers up their noses and vanished instantly, | | reappearing in a different location in the shop. They did | | this several more times as the first witness, armed with a knife, ran | | around trying to get out of the shop. Some empty crates were thrown | | at the witnesses during the melee. They finally managed to | | escape, and summoned the police who searched the premises but found | | nothing. Neighbors had reported seeing strange lights in the area. | | (Sources: David F.

It made no sound. | | (Sources: Australia CUFOS files, report dated September 1978; ACOS | | Bulletin, December 1978, p. 20). | | | | 1978 - At 9:22 p.m. a disc-shaped object was sighted in Poitiers, | | Vienne, France by six witnesses. It made a pendulum wobble, and had | | six lights arranged around the circumference on the bottom. There was | | also an orange-yellow cigar-shaped object, and a triangle-shaped | | object with a red tip, orange behind tip, and a yellow body. (Source: | | Jacques Coudert, Ouranos, 1978, issue 24, p. 10). | | | | 1978 - In flight over Springfield, Missouri 30-year-old Richard Renne | | sighted a yellow-white light at 8:30 p.m. that descended from 15,000 | | feet to the altitude of his Beech Bonanza airplane (9500 feet). It | | went below his tail, then to the 3 o'clock position, and then finally | | ascended above 25,000 feet. Another second light flew around | | erratically. (Sources: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, July | | 1979, p. 11; UNICAT, case 128; Francis L. Ridge, Regional Encounters, | | p. 73). | | | | 1978 - At 10:15 p.m. in Dearborn Heights, Michigan a postal clerk, | | Mr. T. Atkins, and five other witnesses sighted a stationary | | formation of red lights at a 45 degree elevation in the sky, that | | blinked on-and-off 3-5 times in 15 minutes. They grew dimmer over | | time, then disappeared. (Sources: Allan Hendry, International UFO | | Reporter, July 1979, p. 11; UNICAT, case # 129). | | | | 1981 - At around 11:00 p.m. Denise Bishop, age 23, of Weston Mill, | | Plymouth, Devonshire, England had a time distortion while in contact | | with a pencil thin, green beam of light from a 125 foot wide, | | metallic appearing UFO. It felt "as though a film had been stopped | | and started again." The huge UFO was the "same shape as the body of a | | crab", and it hovered over a hill of residential houses, emitting 6 | | to 7 pink, purple and white light beams. The green beam of light from | | the UFO hit her left hand, and she was unable to move. Some congealed | | matter formed on her hand, causing a burn. She still had a burn on | | her hand three months later that looked like a "pale birth mark." | | (Sources: Joe Graziano, APRO Bulletin, March 1982, p. 7; UNICAT, case | | 311, citing Robert Boyd; Timothy Good, Above Top Secret, p. 98; | | Richard H.

Fifteen minutes later a second object followed | | same path. (Sources: Stephen Rosiak, MUFON field investigation case | | files, case # 930105E; Donald Ware, MUFON UFO Journal, February 1993, | | p. 14). | | | | 1992 - Driving to work in heavy traffic a 30-year-old female in | | Honolulu, Hawaii watched a flying object pass down the length of the | | freeway at 6:55 a.m. It was a star-shaped disc with 5 rounded points, | | like a discoid with 5 bites taken out of it. (Sources: Michael Brein, | | MUFON field investigation case files, case # 921009W; Donald Ware, | | MUFON UFO Journal, February 1993, p. 14). | | | | 1993 - At 8:30 p.m. a large silver, disc-shaped object hovered at 300 | | meters altitude over Surrey, Vancouver, British Columbia. Over 100 | | witnesses watched lights dancing in the sky for the next two hours. | | (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, January 1994). | | | | 2001 - A bread delivery man and a salesman had separate pre-dawn | | highway encounters with two bright oncoming lights in Kanturk, County | | Cork, Ireland; one reported it looked like a figure-8 on its side. | | (Source: Dermot Butler, Conspiracy of Silence: UFOs in Ireland, p. | | 113). | | | | 2002 - An airline captain of Aer Lingus flight EIN 566, taking off | | from Dublin, Ireland at 2:20 p.m., reported a "paraglider" two miles | | north of runway 10, at an estimated altitude of 1200 feet.

(Source: Dermot Butler, Conspiracy of | | Silence: UFOs in Ireland, p. 52). | | | | 2002 - At dusk a black flying triangle with three white lights in a | | triangle formation, and a faint steady red light in the center was | | sighted in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. It made a flat, 45-degree | | left hand turn without banking. Later that same evening, a | | disc-shaped UFO changing colors from purple to green to blue, then | | with a solid blue with red glow on the trailing edge was seen at | | 10:50 p.m. on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. It moved overhead | | to the west, then disappeared. It was fast but slower than a meteor. | | (Source: George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's Files: | | Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, pp. 66, 44). | | | | 2004 - At about 10:10 p.m. a witness saw a bright moving object in | | the clear sky over Mount Cobb, Pennsylvania and called his mother and | | two sones to come see. It was moving near the Big Dipper and changing | | colors from green to red to dark orange to white, as though it were | | spinning. Looking at it through binoculars it was a rounded triangle. | | They could see the colors very clearly. On top of the object was a | | very bright white light. It was hovering, then it moved from the left | | to the right. The main color of the object was yellow. A military | | aircraft was flying to the northwest, but this object flew southeast. | | The strange object was much brighter, much bigger, and much higher | | than the military planes. That same night many witnesses in Los | | Angeles, California also saw a triangle UFO that came back the next | | night as well. (Source: George A. Filer & David E.
