+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  July 25 | | | | 1938 - A lieutenant in the Spanish Army in Guadalajara, Spain saw a | | dark, lens-shaped UFO descend toward the ground at 11:30 p.m. The | | disc was eleven meters in diameter and the top and bottom secions | | spun in opposite directions. A transparent column from underneath the | | object came down slowly, and two figures could be seen moving around | | inside the column. A blue beam of light was projected at the witness | | by the UFO, and he felt a chilling cold sensation. (Source: | | Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos). | | | | 1952 - A man who was fishing in the pre-dawn hours in the Serchio | | River in the Tuscany region of Italy saw a disc hovering for ten | | minutes. From it hung a hose that plunged into the water. The object | | was 20 meters in diameter, with five propellers in the rear and a | | dome with something like blades on top. An orange glow could be seen | | through slits along the deck. A man wearing a diving helmet looked at | | the witness through a window, and he received a kind of electric | | shock as a "green ray" hit him. He looked up with difficulty, in time | | to see the object fly away toward the east. Six days later a stranger | | with a foreign accent contacted the witness and intimidated him. | | (Sources: Solas Boncompagni, UFO in Italia, Volume I, (Periodo | | 1907-1953), p. 137; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of | | Landings, p. 181 (case 95); Peter Rogerson, A Worldwide Catalog of | | Type I Reports, p. 244). | | | | 1954 - Middle Sister Island, on U.S.-Canadian border in western Lake | | Erie.

From it came a | | metallic stairway. Two normal men with long, fair hair hanging to | | their shoulders, a youthful appearance and wearing one-piece suits, | | came down, gave no verbal answers to his questions, but invited him | | "telepathically" to come aboard the craft. Inside the illuminated | | compartment, he sat on a circular seat with the crew. The machine | | rose for a short flight. On his return, Guimaraes found that his | | watch no longer worked.

A domed disc came | | down to a low altitude. It had a dark, concave base, and illuminated | | dome, and traveled on its side in the sky. (Source: Norman Cruttwell, | | UFOs in Two Worlds: FSR Special Edition No. 4, p. 25). | | | | 1959 - On this day at about 1:30 p.m. in Irondequoit, New York W.D. | | Neva, a technical illustrator, saw a thin, crescent-shaped object | | with a small white dome in the center resembling a gun turret at 1:00 | | p.m. The object flew at an estimated 800 mph, banked, and disappeared | | from view behind some trees after 5-10 seconds. (Source: Project Blue | | Book files counted in official statistics, case 6446; Don Berliner, | | Project Bluebook Unknowns). | | | | 1965 - Two five-foot long cylinders connected by cross-bars landed in | | Trois Rivieres, Quebec, Canada at 4:30 p.m. A five foot tall being | | was seen outside. There were three witnesses, and the encounter | | lasted five minutes. (Source: John Brent Musgrave, UFO Occupants and | | Critters, p. 44). | | | | 1965 - In Castalia, Ohio 16-year-old M. D. Harris, an amateur | | astronomer, was viewing the night sky at 9:15 p.m. when he saw what | | looked like a bright blue star move 90° across of the sky in 10-15 | | seconds. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official | | statistics, case 9550; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook Unknowns). | | | | 1965 - On this night Mr. Alva was awakened by a strange sound and saw | | an object on the ground near the Chosica Power Plant, Peru emitting | | flashes of green light. He woke up other employees, who had time to | | note that the object was about three meters in diameter, had small | | windows in its upper part, and a revolving telescopic appendage. The | | investigating commission found dark, triangular traces on the ground. | | (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | case 661). | | | | 1966 - College student James Clark was driving home after 1:00 a.m. | | between Greenville and Vanceboro, North Carolina when he saw a flying | | object that followed him even though he drove at high speeds | | attempting to elude it. He finally stopped to watch it, but became | | afraid when it flew within 100 meters of the car, only 15 meters | | above the ground. The lights on the object pulsated, and the color | | changed in sequence, orange to red to blue to green and then back to | | orange, and it also wobbled on its axis. It came within 30 meters, | | then suddenly left straight up. It flew up and out of sight in less | | than five seconds. The entire incident lasted an hour. (Sources: | | Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case 10781; | | Don Berliner, Project Bluebook Unknowns; Jacques Vallee, Passport to | | Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 782). | | | | 1968 - At 2:05 a.m. in Olavarria, Buenos Aires, Argentina a corporal | | and several other soldiers went to a spot where a UFO, emitting | | multicolored flashes and making a droning sound, appeared about to | | land. It settled to the ground and three beings more than six feet | | tall, wearing silvery uniforms, emerged and advanced with slow, | | unsteady steps toward the soldiers. The corporal fired a burst of | | submachine gun fire at them, upon which the beings lifted up their | | hands to show a small luminous ball, whereupon all the witnesses were | | overcome by a strange lassitude and were incapable of using their | | guns. Only after the beings re-entered the UFO and it had taken off | | with a zigzag motion did the soldiers recover their faculties. | | (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case 1968-50, citing newspaper source). | | | | 1968 - At 5:30 a.m. Oscar Augustin D'Onofrio was traveling on Route 3 | | in General Alvear, Buenos Aires, Argentina when he observed at the 37 | | km mark, 100 meters away from the road, a luminous spot that | | gradually increased in size. The engine of his car stopped working, | | and the witness remained paralyzed without being able to move. | | Moments later there emerged a "spaceship," which shot out sparks. He | | saw two figures, but at that distance he could not make out their | | characteristics. The UFO rose up and disappeared. (Source: David F. | | Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1968-90, citing Carlos Banchs). | | | | 1968 - A family of three in Pastora, Argentina saw a silvery object | | about 25 feet in diameter. The engine of their car began to slow | | down, then die completely as the object came near. The object, which | | looked like a spinning top, hovered for five minutes only 10 meters | | from the road. Then it rose quickly and vanished — the engine came | | back on by itself. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving | | Vehicle Interference, case 243, citing FSR Case Histories, Supplement | | No. 16) | | | | 1969 - A two-meter diameter orange sphere flew to the southwest at | | only 12 meters over a path in Estival, France. It returned a short | | time later flying to the northwest. (Source: Claude Poher, Etudes | | Statistiques Portant sur 1000 Temoignag, case 2785). | | | | 1969 - At around 8 p.m. a huge delta-shaped object stopped over a | | witness's car in North Augusta, Ontario and subsequently a one-hour | | episode of missing time occurred. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer | | database, case 8919). | | | | 1970 - In Jabreilles des Bordes, France at 5:30 p.m. in 1970 a disc landed | | on four legs. It had two antennas, one 45 cm long and one 1.5 meters | | long. There were physiological effects experienced by the witness. | | (Source: 1972 MUFON Conference Proceedings, p. 50). | | | | 1971 - A silent domed disc flew west to east, then stopped near | | Perth, Ontario. When the witness raised a camera to take a photo it | | vanished in place! (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case | | 9332). | | | | 1972 - The witness, a 37-year-old woman, saw a blue light from a | | saucer-shaped object nearby while driving in Frankston, Victoria, | | Australia on this evening. She tried to accelerate away from the | | object, but her car's engine died, although the headlights remained | | on. She felt as if she was "under observation" and heard a voice. Her | | engine then started by itself and the saucer left. The woman had seen | | the same object before on July 3. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO | | Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 319, citing ACUFOS) | | | | 1973 - A sighting of a humanoid, with no UFO seen, was reported in | | Durham, Maine. (Source: George Eberhart, A Geo-Bibliography of | | Anomalies, p. 999, citing Brunswick Times Record, July 27, 1973). | | | | 1978 - A large metallic cylindrical object hovered for 30 seconds | | between Roche-Posay and Chatelle, France at 9:15 p.m. It moved, then | | hovered again, then moved away toward the southwest making short | | stops. (Source: Pierre Delval, Ouranos, vol. 24 (1978), p. 10). | | | | 1979 - At 2:00 a.m. in Canoga Park, California a large white light | | made several passed at a car. One hour later a diffuse white ball of | | light maneuvered in the sky for 30 minutes over the Chatsworth | | Reservoir. At 3:15 a housewife and cocktail waitress was abducted | | while driving home from work by a UFO she thought was a plane | | crashing. She experienced an episode of missing time and partial | | amnesia about other events, but did recall undergoing a physical exam | | while lying on her back. A probe was inserted into her leg, and her | | eyes were dabbed with a liquid. (Sources: MUFON UFO Journal, | | September 1980; Davd F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case A2212). | | | | 1979 - At 11:30 a.m. Federico Ibanez, a 54-year-old farmer, was out | | driving his car in his vineyards in Turis, Valencia, Spain when he | | sighted something white and shiny ahead of him. He thought at first | | it was his neighbor's car, but when he rounded a bend in the road the | | object blocking the road resembled a vertical half-egg that stood on | | legs, with the truncated end facing downwards. It was nine feet high | | and almost 3 feet wide. He then noticed two 3-foot-tall beings | | running toward the object. The wore white shiny outfits that covered | | their head and came down to their knees. They had small black legs | | that ended in little feet that looked like "boxing gloves." Their | | faces were blank except for what appeared to be a black protruding | | face mask of some sort. Within seconds the beings entered the object, | | which then took off throwing up a cloud of dust. Sr. Ibanez got back | | in his car and drove off to inspect his vines. A subsequent | | investigation found four circular marks on the road forming a precise | | rectangle. The farmer, who knew nothing about UFOs, had a solid | | reputation among his friends and neighbors. (Sources: Patrick Huyghe, | | The Field Guide to Extraterrestrials, p. 46; Gordon Creighton, The | | Encounter at Turis, FSR, June 1982, pp. 17-18). | | | | 1981 - At around 4:00 a.m. a bright silver disc with six round | | portholes was seen by the crew of an Iberia B-727 airliner as it flew | | between Valencia and Barcelona, Spain. It appeared to be reflecting | | sunlight in the dawn sky. | | | | 1982 - At 4:00 o'clock in the morning a bullfighter in Punta Umbria, | | Spain observed blinking re and yellow lights near the beach. He | | thought it was the scene of a car accident and approached. What he | | saw was a square-shaped craft and a 3-meter (10 foot) tall robot | | standing at the side of the UFO. It had no arms, and the head was | | covered with a metal mesh material. It made guttural sounds. Later | | that day several independent witnesses reported seeing a blunt gray, | | 300-foot long cigar-shaped object with windows fly over woods and the | | sewage treatment plant in Latrobe, Pennsylvania heading west. | | (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database, case 0640; | | MUFON UFO Journal, October 1983). | | | | 1990 - Two 14-year-old girls in Ferriere-La-Grande, France watched a | | white triangular object hover for 2 minutes, point up. The craft then | | shot straight up extremely fast. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, | | issue no. 302). | | | | 1991 - A white sphere hovered over a field on this night in Carleton, | | Quebec. Several times a much smaller red light emerged from the white | | object, descended to the ground, drifted for awhile, ascended, and | | then merged back into the large object. (Source: Timothy Good, Alien | | Update, p. 229). | | | | 1992 - On this day in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico a UFO abductee was | | allegedly visited by a man with human appearance and "Hindu" | | features. In a telepathic communication the abductee was informed | | that the Grey aliens were androids, and lived for only a few days | | before then were recycled. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database, case 0772). | | | | 1992 - Three young men were racing dirt bikes on a river bank in | | Tarasovka, Ukraine when they saw a luminous sphere land. A 1.6 meter | | (5.5 feet) tall man emerged from the object wearing white coveralls | | and a helmet. He walked in a peculiar manner. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database, case 3357). | | | | 1993 - At 3:40 a.m. a dome-shaped object 4 meters in diameter | | followed two witnesses home in Warsaw, Poland. They videotaped the | | object circling their house. The next day unexplained new marks on | | their skin suggested to them that they had been abducted. (Source: | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue no. 326). | | | | 1995 - At 9:35 a.m. two luminous objects maneuvered up-and-down in | | the daytime sky over Ocate, New Mexico. They darted to the horizon, | | and then appeared to buzz a military plane. Later that night in | | Sapello, New Mexico a light was seen dimming and brightening in the | | sky at 11:15 p.m. It rose vertically, then zigzagged erratically, | | then shot straight up. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO | | Reporting Center, 1995 report). | | | | 2000 - At 7:00 p.m. Ignatiy Aleksandrovich Srartsev and two of his | | friends were out in a wooded field near Firsanovka, Moscow, Russia | | when they heard a strong whistling sound coming from behind the | | trees. They then noticed a round object ringed with portholes. The | | UFO hovered over them and emitted some kind of beam of energy. The | | ray hit one of the men, who seemed to disappear in plain sight of the | | other two men. Only his clothes remained. Three minutes later he | | reappeared, completely naked, in front of his stunned friends. He | | said that he had been abducted by "leshies" (Russian wood goblins), | | but the other two quickly pointed out to him that it had been a UFO. | | The men then quickly left the area. The man's memory of the event was | | completely gone. He could only vaguely remember that some strange | | gray-colored beings had been sticking needles into his body. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2000, citing Anton | | Anfalov, Ukraine). | | | | 2000 - Fisherman off the south coast of Viegues Island, Puerto Rico | | sighted a huge disc with a great many blinking lights surrounding it. | | On the bottom of the object was a big green light that beamed down to | | the ocean surface. The UFO hovered 100 feet over the ocean surface | | while a huge bolume of water rose and entered the object. (Source: | | UFO Magazine (USA), December 2000, p. 33). | | | | Written by Donald A.
