+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  June 10 | | | | 1931 - About the middle of the afternoon Sir F. Chichester spotted a | | dull grayish-white airship while flying over the Tasman Sea, off the | | coast of Australia. The object reflected light off its front surface. | | It appeared to draw closer, but then dimished in size, seemed to | | become transparent, and disappeared. (Source: James E. McDonald | | investigation files, case 004). | | | | 1946 - Mystery "ghost rockets" were seen over Tampere and Helsinki, | | Finland. (Source: H. Edward Hill). | | | | 1947 - At 11:00 p.m. in Agua Prieta, Mexico a glowing sphere was seen | | as it rose from the ground and flew up into the night sky. At the | | same time in Douglas, Arizona Coral Lorenzen, the co-founder of the | | Aerial Phenomena Research Organization in 1952 and future author of | | seven books on the UFO phenomenon, witnessed an unidentified light | | land remotely, take on a definite spherical shape, then shoot up | | rapidly from the ground and vanish in less than ten seconds among the | | stars. According to the Air Force files there were more than fifty | | reports of UFOs seen during the daytime over Budapest, Hungary. | | (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer database; Coral E. Lorenzen, Flying | | Saucers: The Startling Evidence of the Invasion from Outer Space, p. | | 16; Jacques Vallee, Anatomy of the Phenomenon, p. 50; Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia, p. 191). | | | | 1949 - A team of Navy engineers and technicians under the command of | | Robert B. McLaughlin watched two white discs pace a V-2 rocket during | | its test launch from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. One | | of the discs passed through the rocket's exhaust and then shot | | straight up. The event was witnessed by at least five U.S. Navy | | rocket scientists and engineers. (Sources: Harold Wilkins, Flying | | Saucers on the Attack, p. 112; Donald E. Keyhoe, True Magazine, March | | 1950, p. 25; Richard Hall, Uninvited Guests, p. 238). | | | | 1955 - In Petare, Venezuela five ovoid objects descended on a | | hillside. They emitted smoke or fog and beams of light. Figures could | | be seen moving around inside the haze. The objects took off flying to | | the east. (Source: APRO Bulletin, August 1955). | | | | 1960 - Half a dozen "men" could be seen standing around a landed | | disc-shaped UFO in Algoz, Portugal at 3:30 a.m. The boarded the craft | | and the UFO took off vertically. When the witness started to run the | | object lit up the ground with an intense beam of light. His dog ran | | away in fear. Later that same night the headlights of a car driving | | fifteen miles east of Globe, Arizona illuminated a small figure | | standing 300 feet away. The being turned and ran. It was described as | | having broad shoulders, long arms, a dark body, no ears or nose, and | | a large pumpkin-shaped head with two orange glowing eyes. (Sources: | | Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of Type-I UFO Events in Spain | | and Portugal, p. 7 (case 30); Coral E. Lorenzen, Flying Saucer | | Occupants, pp. 128-129). | | | | 1967 - A daytime photograph of a disc-shaped object was taken in East | | Woonsocket, Rhode Island by UFO contactee Harold Trudel. The | | photograph shows a slightly asymmetric hubcap shaped object with a | | small dome and aerial extending from the bottom. To even the | | untrained eye it looks like a fake, more than likely produced by | | suspending a model from a string. Trudel believed he was in mental | | contact with space people, who sent him telepathic messages as to | | where and when they would appear. Oddly enough, two more cases of | | photographs being taken of UFOs occurred on this day in Austria. Two | | people, one named Tutter, took a photograph of a UFO in Vienna | | (Wien), Austria at 9:55 p.m., and two more people, one named | | Brettschneider, took a photo in Ganserndorf, Austria at 11:35 p.m. | | (Sources: Timothy Green Beckley, Flying Saucers, December 1970, pg. | | 26; UFO Nachtrichten, August 1967). | | | | 1968 - In Los Cigarrales, Argentina Jorge Yaru, a member of the | | Argentine Navy, was on his way to bed at 3:15 a.m. when he heard a | | very loud engine noise and stepped out of his home to investigate. He | | saw nothing and returned inside. He heard the noise again and went | | back outside. Looking towards a nearby empty field he saw a hovering | | disc-shaped UFO, with a dome on top and bottom. Around the bottom | | part of the object were yellow, red, and orange lights. He estimated | | the craft to be about 1.5 meters in thickness and six meters in | | diameter, and the craft was rotating in a counter-clockwise | | direction. He watched the object for 40 minutes while it remained | | motionless, then the craft shot away at a ninety-degree angle towards | | some nearby wooded hills. It remained stationary there for 40 minutes | | and then made an abrupt jump, hovered again, and shot off at a high | | rate of speed. Sr. Yaru then felt a strange urge to bathe in a nearby | | brook, which he did despite the very low outdoor temperatures at the | | time. He felt a strange need to "cleanse" himself. At the same time a | | neighbor, Adela Garcia, heard the same noise and noticed in the same | | empty field a strange triangular shaped cloud. A giant man-like | | figure, over two meters tall, with long blond hair, descended to the | | ground from the cloud. The strange being, which Garcia likened to | | Jesus Christ, approached her and she knelt before him. Averting her | | eyes from the being briefly, she looked up and both the being and the | | cloud were gone. A large are of scorched grass was found in the | | field. (Sources: Oscar A. Uriondo, Preliminary Catalogue of Type I | | cases in Argentina, FSR Case Histories, August 1973, p. 10; Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1968, citing Revista Enigmas, | | Argentina). | | | | 1969 - Two people were sleeping outside in their backyard on this | | summer night in Portland, Oregon when they saw an object approaching | | them at 1:00 a.m. When first spotted the UFO was at about 500 feet | | altitude and a ¼ mile away. Soon they could see that it was a single | | file formation of disc-shaped objects, which dropped down to about 30 | | feet and turned north. The UFOs were about 30 feet in diameter. As | | they flew over a nearby field the witnesses could see a bluish green | | light under each object. They could also see small-lighted windows in | | the objects and in each window a figure was seen looking out. The | | last object shot up at a 30-degree angle and vanished within seconds, | | leaving a luminous short trail of light behind. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1969, citing National UFO | | Reporting Center, Seattle). | | | | 1970 - A single witness saw a domed disc-shaped craft land in San | | Vicente de Toqua, Chile at 11:00 o'clock at night. Two humanoids were | | reported to have been seen inside the craft. (Sources: Chilean UFO | | Bulletin, Vol. 8, 1970; David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1970-10, citing Mark Rodeghier | | and Bernard Delair). | | | | 1978 - A dark, silent wedge-shaped object with a square formation of | | white lights in the back and a triangular formation of red and white | | lights in the front paced the car of two students, ages 21 and 19, as | | they drove eastbound on Route 299 in New Paltz, New York. The UFO | | turned south toward them and passed over their car. The male student | | got out of the car and ran underneath it, and said it was as large as | | his outstretched hand at arm's length. It shot off toward the | | southwest horizon in a few seconds time. (Source: International UFO | | Reporter, August 1978, p. 4.) | | | | 1992 - Coatesville, Pennsylvania. Several workers at the Lukens Steel | | Company plant saw a disc-shaped UFO land on the factory grounds | | around quitting time (4:30 p.m.). The security guard said that the | | object touched down briefly and then took off in the direction of the | | old Coatesville Hospital. The company, a defense contractor, refused | | to let UFO investigators talk with any of the witnesses or answer | | further questions about what they saw. Attempts to set up interviews | | outside of the plant were also unsuccessful. (Source: Thomas Carey, MUFON; | | West Chester Daily Local News, June 12, 1992.) | | | | 1998 - At 10:15 p.m. a woman awoke to a noise outside her bedroom in | | Deception Bay, Queensland, Australia. She thought she heard the TV | | set on and could also see some kind of soft, flashing light in the | | corridor that she went to investigate. At the end of the corridor she | | was surprised to see a very tall man standing in the hallway. He wore | | a long beige jacket and had long arms. His face could not be seen | | because he was backlit by the light coming from behind him. She | | attempted to scream but could not. The next thing she remembered was | | finding herself standing in a different place in the room. She heard | | a voice say "come on, time to go to bed now," which she did. (Source: | | Albert S.
