+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  February 5 | | | | 1883 - A huge fireball flew over Lake Glasfjorden near Arvika, Sweden | | towards the northwest for 18 seconds. It turned toward the southeast | | and zigzagged through the sky for an additional 50 seconds. (Source: | | Willy Smith, International UFO Reporter, May-June 1984, p. 4, citing | | Nature, March 1883). | | | | 1934 - On this evening an unknown mysterious airplane made an | | emergency landing on Fager Mountain in Malsev, Troms, Norway. Two men | | were seen clearing away snow, and the engine noise was heard | | throughout the valley. Parallel marks in found in the snow, 75 meters | | in length, as well as two sets of footprints. (Sources: John A. Keel, | | FSR, July-August 1971, p. 18; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A0107). | | | | 1950 - Seven people witnessed two cylindrical objects maneuvering in | | the sky at 5:10 p.m. near Falmouth Airport on Cape Cod, | | Massachusetts. A fireball dropped from one of them, then they climbed | | into the western sky and disappeared. Listed as a Project Blue Book | | "unknown" case. (Source: Cape Cod Standard Times, February 6, 1950; | | Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: January-March, p. 17; Project | | Blue Book, February 1950 summary report). | | | | 1963 - On or about this date a student, Anastasio Lenven, saw an | | object land on the school grounds in Asuncion, Paraguay. In a | | separate observation, several residents, including an official of the | | Ministry of the Interior, saw an object flying at very high speed | | over the city. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A | | Century of Landings, case 562). | | | | 1967 - At 1:45 a.m. a boomerang-shaped object was seen for six | | minutes by seven musicians and five other observers in Oakland City, | | Indiana. The UFO flew off to the northwest. (Source: Francis L. | | Ridge, Regional Encounters, p. 27). | | | | 1967 - On this evening Timothy Johnson, a 14-year-old teenager in | | Hilliards, Ohio heard his dog barking and a strange noise, and then | | saw an 75-foot long ovoid object descend with tripod legs extended. | | The UFO had a rotating pattern of lights and came down to 30 feet | | over some railroad tracks, then landed near a school. It made a | | steady humming sound. From an elevator-like shaft came five or six | | tall, human-looking figures wearing black robes, who placed small | | spheres around the craft. A man walked up to them and appeared to | | speak with the entities. The teen was then noticed and the man ran | | after him, catching him by the back of the neck and causing burn | | marks. The man next dragged Timothy almost to the craft when his | | captors suddenly became panic-stricken, dropped him, hurriedly | | gathered up the spheres, and reboarded the craft, which took off | | rapidly. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, May-June 1967, p. 6; | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 816; | | Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, pp. | | 326, 472; Raymond E. Fowler, Casebook of a UFO Investigator, p. 181; | | David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, | | case 1967-13 (A0782)). | | | | 1967 - At 9:45 p.m. M. Louis Monin, age 49, was outside his house in | | Sauvigny-les-Bois, L'Yonne, France when he saw an intensely yellow | | luminous ovoid object coming at very low altitude over a nearby | | cemetery. He called his 17-year-old granddaughter Marie Solange to | | watch it. The fat cigar-shaped object approached, then oscillated and | | turned red-orange, and finally landed in Monin's garden, 110 feet | | away from them. It was about 60 feet long and 20 feet high. At each | | end of the cigar was a jet of "flames," directed obliquely downward, | | and a crackling noise could be heard. Next, a stout little man, | | 3.5-4.0 feet tall, appeared standing beside the object. Monin and his | | granddaughter immediately went back into the house to call his wife, | | but when the three of them came out again the little man was gone and | | the UFO now appeared as a red-luminous ball about 25 feet in | | diameter. This ball took off and was soon lost from view. The | | observation lasted five minutes, and no landing traces were found in | | the garden. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue | | of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-14 (A0783), citing M. Copin & Fernand | | Legarde for LDLN; UNICAT, case # 608, citing Joel Mesnard, GEPA | | Phenomenes Spatiaux, December 1969). | | | | 1968 - Nicholas Rinaldi, age 38, a commercial artist, observed a | | large cigar-shaped object at low level in rural Cromwell, Connecticut | | at 8:25 p.m.  He tried to approach it in his car but it flew away. | | This was his third low-level sighting of a dark cigar-shaped UFO | | since his first spectacular close encounter on January 24, 1967 with | | 19 other separate witnesses. (Source: Donald A. Johnson, on-site | | investigation). | | | | 1970 - On this day a spinning domed disc-shaped object, glowing | | orange and blue, approached three observers at Chesterfield | | Inlet, Northwest Territory, Canada to within 50-60 feet. The motors | | of their three snowmobiles quit working. The disc shot straight up | | vertically and was gone. (Source: UNICAT, case # 133, citing L. | | Couvrette). | | | | 1971 - On this afternoon two young men, P. Aliranta and E. J. Sneck, | | were working in the woods in Kangaskyla, Kinnula, Finland when Mr. | | Aliranta noticed a 15 foot wide metallic saucer-shaped object descend | | and land on four thin legs in a clearing 50 feet away. After it | | landed a short entity just under 3 feet tall glided to the ground | | from an opening in the underside. It was dressed in a green one-piece | | "diver's suit" and wore a helmet with a circular faceplate. It | | approached the young men, walking on top of the deep snow, and | | Aliranta moved toward it with his power chain saw in hand. Through | | three windows in the upper part of the object three more entities | | could be seen. The humanoid retreated from Aliranta and was | | levitating into the object from underneath when the young man grabbed | | it by the heel of its boot with his bare hand. He found that touching | | it burned like a hot iron and he had to let go at once. As soon as | | the being was back inside the object it ascended with a slight | | buzzing or humming sound. Both men felt stiff all over and had | | difficulty moving. Four landing leg marks and small footprints were | | left behind in the snow. (Sources: Tapani Kuningas, FSR Vol. 17 # 5; | | David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case A1102, citing Tapani Kuningas). | | | | Kinnula, Finland Close Encounter - 1971 | | | | [] | | | | 1972 - In Evillers, France a red disc with blurry edges flew silently | | toward the north at a steady speed until gone from view. (Source: | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, October 1974). | | | | 1976 - Two women saw a dark domed disc with red and white lights | | through a second floor bedroom window at their home in France. Inside | | the transparent dome they could see two human like figures. They had | | tight fitting hoods on their heads. The UFO flew away over an | | orchard. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case A1861, citing Joel Mesnard). | | | | 1978 - Thirty miles east of Baladonia, Western Australia a | | 30-year-old truck driver was paced by a UFO on the Eyre Highway at | | around one o'clock in the morning. At some point during the incident, | | a brightly lighted object passed him, and then a small dull light | | pursued him for 30 minutes, retreating only when other traffic | | approached. He then had three hours of lost memory. The only memory | | he had was of a fragmentary recollection of some conversation with an | | entity about an invention. At sometime after four a.m. he found | | himself a few miles outside the town, with most of his clothing | | scattered about the truck cab. (Source: Bill Chalker, MUFON UFO | | Journal,  August 1980, p. 5). | | | | 1978 - Thirty-year-old Julio Fernandez and his English Pointer dog | | Mus were driving in his car to do some early morning hunting for | | hares. They were driving towards Soria province, Spain. At about 4:30 | | a.m. Julio stopped to drink coffee and anis at a wayside bar known as | | the Hostal 113, beside the highway on the outskirts of Algora. At | | 5:45 a.m. Julio left the bar and drove on, half an hour later passing | | Medicaneli. Suddenly he "knew" that he had to be at a certain | | location 15 km further on, and put his foot down on the accelerator. | | At this point his conscious recollection stopped. | | | | Later under hypnotic regression Julio remembered driving his car when | | for no accountable reason he suddenly braked. From this point on the | | car seemed to act of its own accord, reversing, and then coming to a | | halt after having entered a narrow dirt trail backwards. Then the | | engine stopped, the lights went out, and the radio cassette player | | ceased to work. It was as though the electrical current had been | | completely severed, because the new battery no longer charged and the | | plugs no longer sparked properly. | | | | Mus started growling, so as a precaution Julio took his Winchester | | single barrel, semi-automatic shotgun out of the trunk and loaded it | | with its maximum of five carriages. It was then that he caught sight | | of two somehat human looking beings coming down the road. They halted | | only one and a half meters from him. They wore seamless one-piece | | pastel green coveralls that reached to the feet and gave off a very | | faint luminosity. Their uniforms had no zippers nor openings and | | gathered at the waists. The suits were sufficiently tight fitting for | | their muscles to show. They wore pale yellow cowls or hoods, leaving | | only the face uncovered. | | | | The men were about two meters tall and had extremely broad shoulders, | | with powerful dorsal muscles showing prominently, narrow waists, and | | they seemed unusually athletic. Among features that set them apart | | from ordinary human beings were the exceptionally long arms and | | hands, large crania and very large eyes. Julio felt a sense of peace | | and calm envelop him. When they addressed him he at first thought | | they were using speech, but later realized that their lips did not | | move, so he assumed they communicated telepathically with him. | | | | They asked him to calm down and to follow them. Julio obeyed, taking | | along his dog and the gun. Julio was then led to a huge | | mushroom-shaped craft that had been concealed behind two hills in the | | bottom of a small valley, though hovering four meters above the | | ground. It was shaped like an inverted soup plate, had a matt, | | silvery metallic color, and appeared to have a diameter of about 60 | | or 70 meters and a height of some 15 to 20 meters. | | | | Arriving underneath the central area of the craft, Julio noticed its | | had a completely smooth surface, as though molded in one piece, with | | no rivets or fittings. At this point he became aware of a powerful | | odor of pine, or possibly ozone, a smell also detectable on board. | | Julio's gun and knife levitated upwards into the craft. A smooth | | metallic cylinder then emerged silently from the center of the disc, | | stopping just above the ground. It was about four meters in height | | and 2.5 meters in diameter. A door, sliding upwards, opened in the | | descended cylinder's wall, revealing a small compartment lit by a | | strange white light coming from everywhere that Julio found | | disturbing. | | | | By now frightened, he hesitated before stepping through the door into | | the shaft. The dog refused to follow him so Julio had to drag him in. | | What was now an interior elevator rose silently, stopping at an | | entrance to a corridor, where they alighted. Further along was | | another corridor, with two metallic doors, about 2.5 meters high. The | | whole appearance of the place was the most clinically aseptic. The | | walls were continuous with the ceiling, being joined by a gentle | | curve. Continuing along the circular passage, he came to a small | | ladder. The ladder looked like the steps of a swimming pool, with a | | very shiny finish and a cylindrical handrail. One of the beings led | | the way up, scaling the steps in two jumps with phenomenal agility. | | With some difficulty Julio followed, carrying the dog under his right | | arm and with the gun over his shoulder. He noticed the railing felt | | cold. At the top of the ladder was another individual who assured | | Julio that he had nothing to worry about. The "flight deck" was about | | 15 meters wide and five meters high. In the center stood a kind of | | console. It had some resemblance to an electronic organ. It was about | | 2.5 meters wide and had set metal footings with a transparent screen. | | The control table itself stood upon a circular platform. Elsewhere | | stood three smaller consoles set around the circumference of the | | room, in front of which were high conical seats. Also set close to | | the surrounding wall was a large square lead gray panel and a | | metallic rectangular table. | | | | Set around the dome at intervals of about one and a half meters were | | rectangular windows made out of something like smoked glass. | | Meanwhile, his dog Mus had been around the flight deck, sniffing at | | everything, including at least one of the aliens, who reacted in a | | surprised manner. When Julio called out to his dog, the sound of its | | name evoked surprise among the entities. On asking where his hosts | | originated, Julio received an unintelligible mental response, | | including the expression "three seven, squared." | | | | The aliens indicated that they would like to examine his dog and take | | blood samples from him. Mus was carried to a rectangular table and | | blood from his paw was extracted using a fairly normal looking | | syringe. The men then communicated to Julio that they wanted to | | examine him and placed him behind the screen on the rectangular | | table. After a few minutes he was given to understand that was all to | | be required of him. But in subsequent recollections---which proved | | harder to recover and which clearly he found disturbing---Julio said | | that numerous samples had been extracted from him, including blood, | | semen, urine, spinal fluid, saliva, and gastric juices. He believed | | that two women, similar facially to the men, were also onboard at the | | time. Julio was ordered to sit on one of the seats at the central | | console. Next to Julio sat one of the crewmembers who raised the left | | armrest and nimbly fingered several silvery buttons. The seat began | | to revolve along a track in the central console. Julio continued to | | sit beside the crewmember, his dog and gun at his side. Suddenly, a | | brief, piercing whistle was heard, producing a slight commotion on | | the flight deck. | | | | The tallest of the three crew members quickly headed toward one of | | the consoles and all three studied the remote viewing screens in | | front of them. An image appeared of an older looking man. The crew | | members began talking among themselves. The man on the screen seemed | | to be a superior and spoke first, and then the others conversed with | | him. The language sounded harsh to Julio, he described it as sounding | | like a mixture between German and Korean. They seemed to spit out the | | words as they were talking, and some of the sounds were like coughs. | | The image disappeared from the viewing screen and Julio found himself | | back in telepathic communication with his hosts. Hectic activity | | ensued; as crewmembers started desperately pushing buttons. The | | central platform began to rotate in a counterclockwise direction, | | halting when the control console came in line with what Julio assumed | | was a "computer." Another whistling sound could be heard, from which | | point Julio seems to have passed out. After another whistle Julio was | | awake again. The crewmembers showed interest in Julio's gun and, | | passing it around among themselves, asked him about its use. A heavy | | smoker, Julio lit a cigarette. The men asked if they might take one | | away for study and deposited it into the same cylinder. Soon Julio | | was escorted to the lift cylinder, the metal door rose and he was | | back outside, in bright sunlight. | | | | He staggered back to his car, where his dog awaited him, having run | | ahead. The car engine now worked, and he drove away without bothering | | to look back at the disc. Among the information imparted | | telepathically to Julio by the UFOnauts was that other, shorter | | beings were coming here who employed less ethical methods. These | | others, it was explained, "are engaged in probing and programming" | | the minds of those humans whom they have contacted or kidnapped. | | Julio Fernandez was killed in a car crash in 1992, coincidentally | | near the site where he claimed to have been abducted.
