+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  February 23 | | | | 1952 - Over North Korea. At 11:15 p.m. the navigator of a USAF B-29 | | sighted a bluish cylindrical UFO, three times longer than it was | | wide, with a tail. It flew with rapid pulsations, came in high and | | fast, and made several turns before leveling out under the B-29. The | | bomber was evading mild anti-aircraft fire at the time, and the UFO | | seemed to be maneuvering to avoid the flack as well. The sighting | | lasted an estimated 45 seconds.

Haines, | | Advanced Aerial Devices Reported During the Korean War, p. 37; Don | | Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; Dominique Weinstein, | | Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 15). | | | | 1955 - A 30-foot diameter top-shaped object with portholes was seen | | hovering over a field on the Lord Montbatten estate in Broadlands, | | near Romsey, Hampshire, England by a cyclist at 8:30 in the morning. | | A shaft of light came from the center of the silver top. There was a | | man on a platform on the object, who wore dark colored overalls and a | | helmet. When a blue flash shot from one of the portholes the witness | | fell to the ground, paralyzed. The shaft of energy was then | | retracted, and the UFO rose silently away. When it was gone the | | witness could move again, but was still dizzy. (Sources: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1955, citing Timothy Good, Above | | Top Secret; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 4301, citing FSR). | | | | 1956 - In the middle of the afternoon, a blue luminous disc-shaped | | object was watched by an Army Sergeant for 15 minutes in the Bushwick | | neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. It made a loud rumbling noise, | | and left behind a white trail of smoke. That evening several French | | soldiers near Lamoriciere, Algeria watched a huge UFO hover and flash | | for three hours. It had a ring of portholes.

A third | | person also saw the object and many others heard it. The falling snow | | was swirling underneath it. The object was mushroom-shaped and it | | supported a dome on top and also a fin. It was green in color, and | | left in the direction of the Severn River.

Salisbury, The Utah UFO Display, p. 39 and | | Appendix case 41F; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A | | Thirty-Year Report, p. 329). | | | | 1967 - At 9:30 p.m. CST a red oval object hovered first over a truck, | | then over the witness's car in Marion, Illinois. A glowing halo | | surrounded the object. It sped away after a few minutes. The city has | | industries that manufacture explosives and batteries, and has several | | coal mines. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A | | Thirty-Year Report, p. 329, citing NICAP). | | | | 1968 - Several independent witnesses, including two named Hendrickson | | and Sinclair, watched a nocturnal UFO engage in zigzag maneuvers over | | the suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia at 8:30 p.m. There was also | | a high pitched sound associated with the object. (Source: Michael | | Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 181). | | | | 1969 - On this day two boys claimed they saw an emormous flying | | object while bathing in a waterfall in the mountains near Edmundo | | Soares in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. From a vertical door two | | small men emerged. They had human features and their faces had a | | greenish tint. Their chests were luminous, and from the waists down | | they wore ashen-gray trousers. The boys fled down the mountain. They | | returned later that day with two guards, but there was no longer | | anything to be found at the site. (Sources: Walter Buhler, FSR Case | | Histories, June 1971, p. 10; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1969-19 (A1030), citing Walter | | Buhler). | | | | 1975 - At sometime between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. two seven-year-old boys | | named Kono and Yamahata watched a luminous orange UFO approach Kofu, | | Japan while making a "ticking" sound. It landed on three ball-shaped | | legs in a nearby vineyard. The object was a domed disc, five meters | | in diameter and six feet high. The boys got very close to it, and | | discovered the surface of the object was silver colored and had | | strange words embossed on its surface. A ladder extended out of the | | craft down to the ground, and a humanoid creature slightly over four | | feet tall disembarked. He wore a silver uniform and carried something | | that looked like a gun. His skin was dark brown and he had large | | pointed ears, but his large head had no facial features: no eyes, | | nose or mouth. It merely had wrinkles on the "face" and three silvery | | two-inch long "fangs" where the mouth should be. Both boys could see | | one more smaller humanoid in the cockpit holding a control lever. The | | being that had emerged reached out and touched one of the boys, | | patting him twice on the shoulder and uttering words "like a tape | | recorder running backwards." The boy who had been touched sat down, | | paralyzed either by the touch or fear, but his companion took him on | | his back and carried him from the vineyard. They then ran to one of | | the boy's homes and informed their parents, who could at first see | | the orange light pulsating in the vineyard. Then it disappeared as | | they watched. Two concrete posts were found pushed over at the | | landing site. (Sources: CUFOS files, report dated July 14, 1975; APRO | | Bulletin, November-December 1976, p. 5; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1975-10 (A1391), citing | | Hayashi Ichinan andYoshihiko Honda). | | | | Kofu, Japan Close Encounter - 1975 | | | | [image] | | | | 1978 - Mr. & Mrs. Morello were sitting in their car in Sesto | | Fiorentino, Toscana, Italy listening to their car's stereo when they | | began getting heavy interference on the radio. Mr. Morello got out of | | the car to investigate and found himself engulfed in a warm, violet | | cloud of light. He saw four humanoid "shapes" and other lights around | | him. He got back into his car where he found his wife crying. They | | had a twenty minute lapse of missing time they couldn't account for. | | (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case A2162, citing Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue #207; Paolo | | Fiorino, UFO Universe, October/November 1991). | | | | 1995 - In the town of Rivas, near Managua, Nicaragua four boys | | including 6-year-old Royllin Reyes Martinez were watching television | | around 9:00 p.m. when they heard a noise like an engine and a saw a | | strong light coming from outside. They all went outdoors and spotted | | what looked like a helicopter land at the nearby "Gaspar Cracia | | Laviana Town Sports Center." They all rode their bicycles to the | | sports center to better see what was going on. As they got near they | | could all see a very bright craft on the ground. Royllin attempted to | | approach closer but could not due to the intense heat. Three of the | | children then briefly saw two short, "robot like creatures" standing | | next to the object. The beings were "talking with a sound similar to | | insects" and had what appeared to be antennas and were very strange | | in appearance. Finally, the craft and beings left, leaving the young | | witnesses in a state of near shock. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1995, case # 2134, citing Aubrey Lewallen, | | National UFO News, May-June 1995). | | | | 1996 - At ten o'clock in the evening Irasema Margarita Cuevas and | | others in her household in Nuevo Centro, Abasolo, Tamaulipas, Mexico | | heard their dogs barking outside and went to investigate. Outside | | they saw a red-orange dome-shaped craft floating a few feet from the | | ground, near some nearby trees about 50 meters away. Soon a small | | humanoid emerged from the craft, about one meter in height. It began | | floating up and down in peculiar movements. From a belt around its | | waist a bluish beam of light emerged. The being appeared robotic in | | nature, somewhat resembling a "Power Ranger." After a few minutes the | | being re-entered the object, which rose up to join a similar craft. | | They both then flew towards the nearby swamps. Several witnesses then | | followed the objects and were able to see a brilliant light emerge | | from behind some trees and a huge column of gray smoke. Upon seeing | | this, the head of the household, Guillermo Serna Marquez, told his | | family to return to the house and went into the woods to investigate | | alone, on the way there he ran into a farmhand who accompanied him | | into the woods. They saw a luminous craft fly over the trees in the | | direction of the swamp, then a two meter tall humanoid appeared, | | floating above the trees and accompanied by the small robotic entity. | | They watched the beings float around and then enter the dome shaped | | object. After awhile they grew tired of watching and went home. The | | next day a large section of the ground was scorched in three enormous | | circles. Strange purplish-white, foam-like substance was also found | | at the site. Numerous other strange incidents were reported in | | subsequent days: small flying red spheres, more animal mutilations, | | and a large orange sphere that followed some of the UFO field | | investigators late one night.

Reynoso). | | | | 2000 - Two cylindrical UFOs circled the Agnano housing development in | | Naples, Italy during the day, then ascended to a high altitude in a | | zigzag motion, one faster than the other. (Source: UFO Magazine | | (USA), June 2000, p. 37). | | | | 2001 - On this day a metallic disc made numerous zig-zags, wobbles, | | and sawtooth maneuvers over a farm in Santena, Piemonte, Italy. It | | made no sound as it flew. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, | | case 18159, citing Revista Info UFO, issue #23). | | | | Written by Donald A.
