+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  November 13 | | | | 1833 - On this date in 1833 a series of incidents involving a luminous | | aerial object and the fall of mysterious jelly-like substances were | | reported in New York, New Jersey and Ohio. At dawn in West Point, New | | York, a woman milking her cow saw a luminous object descend "with a | | sposh" sound. She discovered a flattened, jelly-like transparent | | mass. By 10:00 in the morning it had sublimed and disappeared. The | | same kind of jelly-like substance was found on the ground in Newark | | and Rahway, New Jersey. In Poland, Ohio a luminous object in the | | northeastern sky, at dawn, hovered for nearly an hour. It was | | described as very brilliant, and was shaped like a "pruning hook." | | Earlier, at a short time after 2:00 a.m., a luminous object was also | | seen in the sky at Niagara Falls, New York. It was shaped like a | | square table, remained stationary in the sky, and emitted rays of | | light. (Source: Gordon Lore, Jr. and Harold H.Dennault, Jr., | | Mysteries of the Skies: UFOs in Perspective, pp. 60-61). | | | | 1939 - In 1939 a building foreman drove past a deserted farm in the early | | morning in Brockworth, England and heard a high-pitched humming | | sound. He looked and saw a gray, bell-shaped object hovering over a | | nearby field. It had dark windows on its side, and a curtain of green | | light underneath, which retracted upwards as if solid. (Source: | | Richard Hall, From Airships to Arnold: A Preliminary Catalogue of UFO | | reports in the Early 20th Century, p. 17). | | | | 1952 - At both Opheim Army Base and Glasgow AFB in Montana in 1952, an | | unidentified flying object was picked up on radar between 2:20 and | | 2:43 a.m. There was visual confirmation of the UFO by military | | personnel near Opheim. According to Earl Oksendahl, a qualified and | | reliable weather bureau witness, at 2.43 a.m. five glowing objects in | | formation made a 90 degree turn overhead, and then flew to the | | southwest. The two outside objects seemed to bank. They were oval | | shaped, 30-50 feet in diameter, had no trail, no exhausts, and made | | no noise. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official | | statistics, case 2220; UNICAT, case # 752; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A | | History. 1952: November-December, p. 22; Richard F. Haines, Project | | Delta, p. 76). | | | | 1953 - At 7:00 p.m. 2 RAF pilots in Southend, Essex, England saw an | | orb and a disc in the sky. They noticed that orb the was actually | | also disc shaped when it banked sideways.

It took off without making any noise. (Source: Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 336). | | | | 1954 - At the intersection of Routes N28 and N319 in Buchy, | | Seine-Maritime, France Mr. R. L. of Rouen saw a luminous craft take | | off while he feIt pricklings and was paralyzed. The engine of his car | | slowed down but did not stall. (Sources: Paris-Normandie, November | | 15, 1954; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | case # 337). | | | | 1954 - Curitiba, Parana State, Brazil - At 3:30 a.m. Mr. Cheminot, a | | Brazilian railway employee, saw three short beings in tight fitting, | | luminous coveralls examining the railroad tracks with a lantern. When | | they saw him, they entered a lens-shaped craft, which rose rapidly | | into the sky. (Sources: Coral E.

Fragments were recovered and sent to | | the US Air Force for analysis. On this same date a UFO was seen high | | in the sky east of Port Broughton, South Australia. It drifted slowly | | toward the northwest. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, January 1958, | | p. 5; Michael Hervey, UFOs over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 160). | | | | 1960 - In the year 1960 in La Londe, France a domed disc-shaped UFO was | | spotted sitting on railroad tracks at 2:45 a.m. It made no sound, and | | shafts of orange light periodically shot out from the object. It rose | | vertically, folded its landing gear, and shot off straight up. | | (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | case 512). | | | | 1965 - Two odd looking craft were seen floating or hovering near the | | surface of the ocean at the southern tip of New Zealand. Two | | fisherman, Mr. R. D. Hanning, age 41, skipper of the fishing vessel | | Eleoneai, and Mr. W. J. Johnson made the sighting. They had set out | | from Bluff, the port of Invercargill, New Zealand, to tend pots in | | the area of Stewart Island, the southernmost part of New Zealand. At | | 11:30 a.m. they were about half a mile off Rugged Islands when they | | saw a strange craft come out of the water. Its tapered structure rose | | about 15 feet above the water and measured 5 feet high at the top and | | 12 feet at the water line. Then, about 30 feet away, a second | | box-shaped object, about 10 feet long and 5 feet high, was seen. | | There was no sign of any periscope or railing and nothing but the | | 'tower' and 'box' were visible. The water was smooth and the objects | | were in clear view 300 yards away. After 10 seconds there was | | suddenly a great surging of water and both object vanished beneath | | the surface. Both men were rather startled at this display and in | | fact were somewhat frightened by it. They hung around for a few | | minutes, decided not to wait any longer, and steamed off. The water | | at the spot where they had made the sighting was about 30 fathoms | | deep to a sandy bottom. (Sources: Otago Daily Times, November 18, | | 1965; Henk J.

Sanderson, Invisible Residents, p. 56; Carl Feindt, | | www.waterufo.net/item.php?id=330). | | | | 1965 - In the late evening in Mogi-Guacu, Sao Paulo State, Brazil Sr. | | Dario Filho, his wife, his grandson, and a bank director saw an | | object land 100 meters away, flashing a beam of light towards the | | sky. Two policemen on the scene also observed the incident. Near the | | object were two dwarves. One of them wore coveralls, while the other | | had on a gray shirt and brown trousers. By what seemed an optical | | effect, a third being with a flat, squarish head, wearing something | | like a surgeon's apron, was also seen near them. The object and the | | creatures were very brightly lit. The incident lasted 30 minutes. | | (Sources: APRO Bulletin, September-October 1966, p. 8; Coral E. | | Lorenzen, Flying Saucers: The Startling Evidence of the Invasion from | | Outer Space, p. 244, citing Olavo T. Fontes; Jacques Vallee, Passport | | to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 716). | | | | 1967 - A man and woman were driving down a road in Winterfold Forest | | in Cranleigh, England at half an hour past midnight when they | | encountered a heavy fog and were required to stop. A face suddenly | | appeared in the car window, and an arm reached up to the roof of | | their car. As they hurriedly drove off they could see the face and | | arm attached to a dark, conical body, but they saw no legs. They also | | reported the odor of burnt food at the time of their encounter with | | the entity. (Source: Charles Bowen, Flying Saucer Review, January | | 1968, p. 15). Later that evening an EM effects UFO close encounter | | was reported in Arnheim, The Netherlands. (Source: Flying Saucer | | Review, January 1968, p. 33). | | | | 1971 - At 2:00 a.m. a lemon-colored sphere was seen by a railway | | signalman 50 feet above the ground in Saxilby, Lincolnshire, England. | | A second identical object appeared, and the two hovered together, | | making no sound. The lights were estimated to be half a mile away. | | They vanished like a light switch being turned off. (Source: Mrs. K | | Smith, BUFORA Journal, August 1971, p. 23). | | | | 1971 - In the desert of Lucerne Valley, California three men were out | | on a hunting trip. At 5:15 p.m. they saw a large, yellowish-white | | light land in the distance, and a smaller light approach their | | campsite. In the ensuing minutes they heard twigs snap, and were | | startled by a loud unintelligible cry. They left their campsite in | | haste. Returning to the site during the daytime with UFO investigator | | Anne Druffel, they found three 12"-14" circular imprints arranged in | | a triangle 12 feet apart. (Sources: Ann Druffel, NICAP UFO | | Investigator, October 1972, p. 2; Data-Net Report, February 1972, | | p. 15). | | | | 1972 - Four witnesses had a close encounter of the second kind with a | | noisy UFO three miles southeast of Anderson, Shasta County, | | California.

Murphy, FSR | | Case Histories,  February 1973, p. 1). | | | | 1973 - In an apparent abduction attempt, in 1973 a UFO hovered over a car | | and "tall, thin, green occupants" tried to stop it on highway 1470 | | two miles east of Poteet, Texas. Paint peeled from the car due to | | something dripping from the UFO. Other reports of nocturnal lights | | seen flying in the sky that evening came from California, Yugoslavia, | | and Spain. (Source: Austin Evening Statesman, November 14, 1973; | | David Webb, 1973: Year of the Humanoids, p. 20). | | | | 1974 - In 1974, close encounters occurred in Norwalk, Connecticut, Antigo, | | Wisconsin, and Rockford, Illinois. A cattle mutilation case occurred | | south of Olney, Texas on the same day as a humanoid report from | | Antigo, Wisconsin. (Source: George Eberhart, A Geo-Bilbliography of | | Anomalies, p. 359). | | | | 1975 - On this night in 1975 a number of multi-colored nocturnal lights were | | reported in the midwestern and southern United States. Sparkling | | white, red, and yellow lights flew in formation erratically in | | Whitewater, Wisconsin. Red, green, and white lights were sighted in | | Eau Claire, Wisconsin, moving up-and-down and diagonally. In Fort | | Atkinson, Wisconsin bright white lights that dimmed, disappeared, and | | then re-appeared were sighted. In Mobile, Alabama a UFO, changing | | colors, moved across the horizon. A round silver object was seen | | moving slowly in the northwest sky in Orlando, Florida. It suddenly | | disappeared. (Source: CUFOS News Bulletin, February 1976, p. 13.) | | | | 1976 - In Chandlers Ford, England, a couple saw a silver-suited man | | near a supermarket, seven miles away from another CE-3 report. | | (Source: Leslie Harris, FSR, February 1977, p. 6). | | | | 1977 - At eleven o'clock at night in Fox-Amphoux, Var department, | | France a young couple in their twenties, driving on highway D | | 561, observed a disc-shaped light in the sky over the hills between | | Fox-Amphoux and Aups. After driving several kilometers the couple | | again saw it, now larger and blinking, at the crossroads of Logis | | d'Amphoux; it seemed to be above the nearby town of Fox. They pulled | | their car to the side of the road and watched it for 15 minutes. Next | | they saw, about 200 meters behind them along the road, a small point | | of light near the ground, as though someone were carrying a | | flashlight. They turned around and drove back toward the light and | | observed, about 30 to 50 meters away, an unstable, two-dimensional | | image of a human-like entity of a phosphorescent white color, with no | | visible arms or legs and no features on its head. It was about | | five-foot eight inches tall, "advancing and retreating," and fading | | in and out. They compared the form to a TV image. The couple | | associated the lights seen earlier with the figure, became | | frightened, and drove off. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, April | | 1980; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case # 1977-56, citing Alain Prigent). | | 1977 - At 11:35 p.m. two Air Force security police officers at | | Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota were checking out a report of | | trespassers at a restricted nuclear weapons storage site, when they | | noticed a bright light hovering above a nearby hill. One of the men | | remained in the patrol vehicle as the second investigated the source | | of the light. As the officer approached the area he observed a human | | like figure wearing a shiny green metallic uniform and a helmet with | | visor. The witness ordered the figure to stop, but it continued | | walking towards the source of the light. As the officer pointed his | | M-16 at the figure the being suddenly turned around and pointed an | | object at the officer. This was followed by a bright flash of light | | from the object, and then the M-16 carbine exploded causing burns to | | the hands of the officer. As the injured officer hid, the other | | officer arrived and he observed two similarly clad figures; he | | challenged both but they refused to stop, so he then fired his | | weapon, striking both. They were seen to fall, but 15 seconds later | | both stood up and fired several flashes of light at the officer, who | | was able to take cover and was unhurt. He then followed the two | | intruders and saw them enter a landed disc-shaped craft. The object | | then emitted a brilliant flash of green light, and disappeared into | | the sky. Later investigation revealed that several components to one | | of the nuclear warheads were missing. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | 1977 Humanoid Contact database, case # 1208, citing Enigma, issue # | | 43, also Leonard Stringfield). | | On this evening in Silverton, England, in 1978,a large pulsating | | light buzzed four men in a car, forcing the driver to stop the car. | | In Espanola, New Mexico, a mutilated cow was discovered. The rectum | | and udder had been removed with surgical incisions. (Sources: UFO | | Newsclipping Service, January 1979, p. 11; Richard Hall, Zetetic | | Scholar, Volume 50, p. 48). | | | | 1980 - A hamburger-shaped disc hovered for three minutes in the late | | afternoon over Poole Harbour, Dorset, England, making a humming | | sound.

The witness yelled, asking who he was. | | The figure replied in a low guttural voice "Don't you know me?" It | | then ran down a bank and disappeared. It was described as tall, | | muscular, and wearing a black outfit. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1982, citing J. J. Benitez). | | | | 1989 - In 1989 Hungarian Air Force training flights were paced by orange | | UFOs near Kecskemet, Hungary.

Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database, case #2661). | | | | 1998 - In Maybrook, New York an 11-year-old boy awoke at 1:30 a.m. | | and saw three bizarre figures in the shape of bowling pins standing | | in the hallway about five feet from his bedroom doorway. They stood | | there staring at the witness. The figures glowed a white color, but | | did not illuminate anything around them. No eyes or mouths could be | | seen. The witness apparently encountered similar looking creatures | | the year before. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1998, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, | | Seattle). | | | | 1998 - At 7:10 p.m. north of the city of Helsinki, Finland two people | | heard and saw something resembling a bolt of lighting come from the | | sky. Strange vibrations lasting five minutes followed, and then all | | became quiet. After another two minutes the witnesses heard a very | | loud noise with no apparent cause, and this sound diminished before | | ceasing entirely. Then from their first floor balcony the witnesses | | saw three strange beings enter their backyard. The beings moved | | around the yard in every direction. One of them carried a purple | | blinking light and another of the beings climbed up one of their | | trees. The witness then made some noise and the humanoid in the tree | | came down and then they all left. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1998, citing Chucara Quebec). | | | | 1999 - Andre Marquetti and Jair Picerni were jogging in the local | | park in Cachoeira de Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil on a very sunny | | afternoon at around 2 p.m. As they ran near a clearing they spotted a | | “classic” disc-shaped object with a transparent dome on top on the | | ground. Stunned, they stood still and watched it for awhile, and when | | they attempted to run away they found they could not move. They then | | noticed a figure exit the craft, who completely ignored them and | | walked around the object. Five minutes later the humanoid being | | re-entered the object, which then rose up slowly and disappeared from | | sight. Soon afterwards the two men were able to move again. Both | | suffered from headaches and nausea for a week after the incident. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1999 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, | | citing Thiago Luiz Ticchetti, EBE-ET). | | | | 2000 - A black triangle was spotted over a highway in the dark night | | sky in Denton, Texas at 6:30 p.m. Three ovoid-shaped flying objects, | | making a ringing noise, were observed for 10 minutes in Canyon, | | California at 12:01 a.m. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO | | Reporting Center, Seattle, Nov. 2000 webpage, reports uploaded | | December 2, 2000). | | | | 2001 - In Beaverlodge, Alberta, Canada two children saw a white, | | domed disc-shaped object flying through the sky at 5:00 p.m. (Source: | | Geoff Dittman, 2001 Canadian UFO Survey, case # 337, citing UFOBC). | | | | 2001 - Tracie and Jim Austin-Peters had a close up sighting of a | | massive triangle-shaped craft in Studio City, California at 6:45 p.m. | | The sighting was made by a couple who had started a cable access | | UFO/paranormal TV show.

It was flying in a southeast | | direction, and had two red lights, one on each tip of the trailing | | edge. There was an amber light in the center of craft that was | | constantly changing shape. It was too fast and low for a blimp, | | according to the witness. Its estimated altitude was only 20 feet. | | (Source:George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's Files: Worldwide | | Reports of UFO Sightings, p. 101). | | | | 2002 - A mother and daughter in Flint, Michigan observed a | | disc-shaped object hovering over their house at 10:35 p.m. It was | | estimated to be 50 feet in diameter and had many white and red | | lights.
