+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | | July 2 | | | | 1907 - Burlington, Vermont. The Bishop John Michaud was standing on a | | Burlington street corner around 2 in the afternoon, engaged in a | | conversation with Ex-Governor Woodbury and Mr. A.A. Buell, when | | without warning they were startled by what sounded like a nearby | | explosion. Looking eastward along College Street they observed a | | torpedo-shaped object, some 300 feet away, hovering in the air about | | 50 feet over the tops of the buildings. It was estimated to be about | | 6 feet long and 8 inches in diameter. It was dark, with red flames | | being emitted from spots on the surface resembling unburnished | | copper. The object began to move slowly toward the south. As it moved | | the surface seemed to be rupturing in places, and through these | | ruptures came the intense red flames. (Source: Charles Fort, The Complete | | Books of Charles Fort. New York: Dover, 1974, pg. 292.). | | | | 1950 - Steep Rock Lake, Ontario, Canada. A man and his wife saw a | | double saucer with portholes and a rotating antenna come to rest on | | the surface of the lake. Ten figures, four feet tall, dressed in | | shiny clothing, emerged and walked on deck like robots "changing | | direction without turning their bodies." Their faces could not be | | seen. One of them wore a red cap, had darker arms and legs and seemed | | to be their leader. They immersed a hose in the lake, apparently | | extracted water, and then took off. Fishermen later reported a green | | moss formed on the lake. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to | | Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 195). | | | | 1956 - A bright object crossed and re-crossed the sky over Conway, | | Massachusetts. The Greenfield Recorder-Gazette said that "although | | traveling at what appeared to be a high rate of speed" the object | | "was able to reverse its course completely". (Source: Arthur | | Constance, The Inexplicable Sky. New York: Citadel Press, 1956, pg. | | 280). | | | | 1965 - At 7:00 p.m. five scientists and meteorological observers at | | the English research base on Deception Island in Antarctica watched | | zig-zagging, maneuvering, color changing UFOs for 8-10 | | minutes, including a lens-shaped disc.

Lorenzen, | | Flying Saucers: The Startling Evidence of the Invasion from Outer | | Space, pp. 234-235; Frank Edwards, Flying Saucers--Serious Business, | | p. 284; UNICAT, case # 110; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume | | II: A Thirty-Year Report, pp. 4, 150). | | | | 1965 - A woman named Brundage driving in Kent, Washington had a close | | encounter with a top-shaped UFO making a whistling sound at 11:00 | | p.m. It caused the car lights, radio, and engine to die.

They were five and a half feet tall, with thin | | white hair and wore red clothing. The witness noticed that their legs | | were semi transparent. They told him, in Spanish, "You are going to | | know the world. We will take you. But not now, as we have a big | | load." They directed his attention to an elliptical object six feet | | in diameter, standing on 20" tripod legs in a drainage ditch. Then | | one of them handed the boy an envelope, telling him to dip it into a | | nearby puddle. He did so, and found that neither the envelope nor his | | hand were wetted. In the envelope, written in a crude hand like a | | small child's, was the message, "You are going to know the world, F. | | Saucer." The two men then got into their machine through the top, and | | it took off vertically at great speed. Oscar found both his horse and | | dog paralyzed, and unable to move for some minutes. At the spot were | | found 3 holes 5" deep, arranged in an isosceles triangle. 5 local | | skeptics visited the site at 2315 that night and were amazed to | | observed a luminous object zigzag above them at low altitude. | | (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case 1968-41, citing Raul Coronel, FSR, September-October | | 1968). | | | | 1968 - At 8:15 p.m. a boy named Sola saw a bright object hovering | | over a nearby mountain in Cofico, Salta province, Argentina. At the | | same time the boy beheld at only a few meters distance from him, a | | "strange being about 2.10 meters in height, hanging suspended in air, | | his body emitting a strange luminosity." This being suddenly spun | | around like a top, then rose into the air and vanished above the | | mountain. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case 1968-40, citing FSR, Vol. 14, No. 5). | | | | 1968 - A woman in St. Alexis de Montcalm, Quebec, Canada saw a green | | object shaped like a hat or mushroom at 9:14 p.m. which flew by at | | the height of her apartment window. She believed she saw up to 20 | | small men inside, all of green color with rather pointed noses, | | resembling sculptures in the African Pavilion at the Montreal Expo. | | (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case 1968-85, citing Gene Duplantier, Saucers, Space & | | Science). | | | | 1968 - Constable M. Michaud and another police officer in St. Thomas, | | Quebec, Canada reported that at 9:30 p.m. they saw two naked little | | men run through a drainage ditch and flee. Their report stated that | | they thought they had cornered the "little men" but they disappeared | | as they were about to be apprehended. They were estimated to be only | | two feet tall with shoulders the size of adults and | | disproportionately large heads. The appearance of a large meteor at | | the time was also noted. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-42, citing Gene | | Duplantier, Saucers, Space & Science, Fall 1968). | | | | 1968 - Several witnesses in Wooler, Ontario, Canada saw a bright | | object land on some nearby brush at 10:00 p.m.. Later several shadowy | | beings were seen entering nearby homes and reportedly they took | | several items. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database | | 1968, case #2409, citing FSR). | | | | 1969 - An small flying object was reported to have landed next to the | | local primary school in Johore Baru, Johore province, Malaysia at | | 10:35 a.m. Several school children reported seeing five tiny men like | | figures wearing red colored outfits emerge from the object. The | | children rushed at the little men in an attempt to capture one but | | they jumped into a hole in the ground and hid. The UFO was described | | as silvery colored, and it also vanished. (Source: Ahmad Jamaluddin, | | A Summary of UFO and Related events in Malaysia 1950-1980). | | | | 1990 - Kiev, Ukraine - Vitaly Rudenko and his brother were sleeping on | | the roof of their kitchen around midnight when they spotted a | | maneuvering light that changed color from a light silver to a | | brilliant yellow. As they watched an eerie silence surrounded them. | | Rudenko half jokingly yelled out, "Come down and take us!" Quite | | unexpectedly, the light descended rapidly and hovered very close to | | them. They described it as an enormous sphere that was slightly | | elongated. A dazzling beam of light shot out from the sphere and | | struck both men. At this point they lost all track of what happened | | next. Rudenko woke up later crawling through the vegetable garden | | with his clothing scorched. His brother was found unconscious with | | bruises on his forehead. No hypnotic regression has been attempted to | | date. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1990, | | citing UFOZone, Russia). | | | | 2001 - On this night Jose Da Silva in Canatuma, Amazonas State, | | Brazil saw a large disc-shaped object with several windows and a | | small doorway into which two two-meter tall humanoids were seen to | | enter. Immediately after boarding, the object began to spin very | | rapidly and rose slowly from the ground. It then emitted a sudden | | bright flash of light from the top section, and vanished in front of | | the witness. (Source: Albert S.
