+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  June 5 | | | | 1949 - On this night in 1949 a huge fireball zigzagged 800 miles toward the | | northeast from the southern tip of Florida to Georgia. There were | | several reports along the west coast of Florida as it flew across the | | sky. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 1410.) | | | | 1952 - On this evening in 1952 three cases occurred that were listed by the | | Air Force Project Blue Book as "unknowns." At 6:15 p.m. in | | Albuquerque, New Mexico a shiny disc was reported moving through the | | sky by a military witness. Its speed was estimated as 5-6 times | | faster than a F-86 jet and was seen for six seconds. At Offutt Air | | Force Base in Nebraska three security guards saw a large red | | nocturnal light hover 1000 feet over the main gate to the Strategic | | Air Command's major airbase at 11:00 p.m. At the same time, eight | | star-like objects were seen flying over Lubbock, Texas. The first two | | lights flew over in a trailing formation and the others followed | | singly. (Source: Project Blue Book files counted in official | | statistics, cases 1255, 1256, and 1257). | | | | 1954 - In East Dandenong, Victoria at 6:23 p.m. on this evening in 1954, a | | sixteen-year-old girl and her best friend were terrified by a 10 | | meter long cylinder that hovered only 20 meters above them. A | | wristwatch stopped working and their flashlight's battery was | | reportedly drained. The craft had a window on top and a bluish light | | on each end, and made a drumming noise. (Source: NICAP case | | investigation files.) | | | | 1955 - In 1955 a British fishing trawler crew spotted a silver daylight disc | | flying over the North Sea off the coast of Holland at 7:30 p.m. It | | flew at an estimated 3000 meters altitude, and crossed the sky in | | five minutes. It was definitely "not a plane," according to the | | witnesses. At the same time, a sequence of three photographs were | | taken in St. Marc, Belgium showing a convex, lens-shaped disc object | | in front of some clouds. The object had a bright bottom and dark, | | shadowed top. Motion is implied by the different angles in the | | photos. The UFO was seen low nearby the witness's car. (Sources: | | Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 4364; Jacques Bonabot, | | Catalogue of Belgian UFO Cases, case #77). | | | | 1957 - In Uriman, Venezuela on this night in 1957, members of a local Indian | | tribe saw a luminous object land and several little men emerge from | | the object. When they tried to capture one of these dwarf-like | | creatures, it slashed at them with some kind of knife, and gave one | | of them a deep arm cut. On the same night another close encounter | | occurred near Warrensburg, Missouri. At 10:30 p.m. on highway 13 | | north of town, three people driving together in a car had an orange | | ball of light approach and follow their car. Several small blue | | lights exited the larger object and flew off in every direction. A | | watch stopped working and there was interference on their car radio | | during the encounter. (Sources: Ted Bloecher files; J. Allen Hynek | | investigation files, case P44). | | | | 1964 - While driving near the Pajas Blancas airport in Cordoba | | province, Argentina a doctor and his wife had the engine of their car | | fail at four o'clock in the morning. They then found a huge object on | | the road ahead of them. Its bright light went out, leaving only a | | violet colored light. After 20 minutes of no activity, a man | | approached the car and suggested that they try the car again. The | | engine started up. After telling the couple not to be afraid and that | | he was on a mission, the humanoid joined two others and all three | | entered the object. It then rose rapidly into the sky, leaving a | | violet-colored trail. (Sources: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving | | Vehicle Interference, citing Charles Bowen, The Humanoids; Jacques | | Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 610). | | | | 1964 - At about the same time, 3:00 a.m. E.D.T. on the morning of June 5th, | | 1964 a 10-foot diameter glowing ball was seen ascending slowly in the | | sky from a low altitude in Cleveland, Ohio. The ball of light | | ascended at a 45-degree angle, and was followed by 10 small lights. | | It also emitted blue light beams. (Source: APRO Bulletin, November | | 1964). | | | | 1965 - A year later in Lynn, Massachusetts there were several reports | | of a cigar-shaped object being seen over the local GE facility. This | | was in the same 24-hour period that James McDivitt took a photo of an | | unknown light source from the Gemini 4 spacecraft, while in orbit in | | Outer Space over Hawaii. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, January-February | | 1966; NICAP UFO Investigator, October 1958, p. 2). | | | | 1967 - In 1967 a school principal, several teachers, and students saw three | | UFOs, one of them low near some power lines during a daytime power | | outage at Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania. When the UFOs left the | | electricity in the school came back on. Damage was reported on two | | generators at the dam power plant. There were power failures reported | | at 10:16 a.m. in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware | | according to the Federal Power Commission. Later that evening at 8 | | p.m. on State Route 2 outside of Point Pleasant, West Virginia an | | unidentified flying object extended some kind of robotic tentacles | | and attempted to abduct a bloodmobile. (Sources: NICAP investigation | | files dated August 7, 1967; Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 93). | | | | 1968 - An orange balloon-shaped object with antennas made complex | | maneuvers over the city of Niteroi, Brazil at 10:10 p.m. The object | | also reportedly ejected some strips of foil. (Source: Larry Hatch, U | | computer database, case 8308). | | | | 1969 - In 1969 at 6:00 a.m. in Uba, Brazil an orange UFO paced and circled a | | car. The engine and car radio died. Later that day the Canadian | | Parliament Building was buzzed by a mysterious red light in Ottawa, | | Ontario during the evening hours. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer | | database, citing the Brazilian O Dia newspaper; John Colombo, UFOs | | over Canada: Personal Accounts of Sightings and Close Encounters, p. | | 213). | | | | 1971 - In 1971 an airliner crew reported sighting four metallic cigar-shaped | | objects, each about 6 meters in length, flying rapidly toward the | | west. The objects passed only 90 meters away from the aircraft, and | | left no contrails. Ground radar confirmed their presence. At 10:30 | | p.m. a man saw three lights-red, white and blue-land among some trees | | two miles from Norwood, Tasmania. They then took off in a flash the | | color of a skyrocket. Landing traces were found at the sight, | | including a 10-foot wide irregularly shaped flattened area. (Source: | | Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 8308; Launceston Tasmania | | Examiner, June 5, 1971). | | | | 1975 - In 1975 a couple driving from Appleton to Madison, Wisconsin spotted | | three UFOs. The second object had a long trail. It came down, split | | apart like booster rocket, arched through the sky traveling rapidly | | toward the southwest. On that same night two poor quality photographs | | were taken of a Saturn-shaped UFO seen above some trees in Colpo, | | France. The object had antennas and emitted beams of light. (Source: | | Jay Rath, The W-files: True Reports of Wisconsin's Unexplained | | Phenomena, p. 64; Lumieres dans la Nuit, December 1975). | | | | 1976 - At 11:30 p.m. in 1976 a glowing cigar-shaped object hovered at a | | 40-degree angle over highway 140 in Merced, California. It appeared | | to have windows. It then made erratic maneuvers in the sky. (Source: | | NICAP UFO Investigator, July 1976). | | | | 1980 - In 1980 a series of strange UFO-related events occurred in both | | Malaysia and the San Luis Valley of Colorado. At dusk in Moffat, | | Colorado a mustard yellow, old-fashioned "whirlybird" copter was seen | | rising from a pasture. The next morning a prize-winning bull was | | found dead. No nearby airport had ever seen such a craft. At 2:20 | | a.m. in Port Klang, Malaysia a spinning, luminous bluish-red ball | | hovered just 30 feet over a large oil installation. It emitted beam | | of light that struck a house near the petroleum tanks, and the house | | caught fire. Nearby airport radar confirmed the presence of a UFO. | | (Source: Chris O'Brien, The Mysterious Valley, p. 42; Ahmad | | Jamaludin, Summary of Unidentified Flying Objects and Related Events | | in Malaysia, p. 96). | | | | 1983 - In Varzi, Italy at 5:00 a.m. in 1983 dogs began barking when a | | cigar-shaped UFO approached the ground. The object emitted a foggy | | vapor at ground level, rose up and hovered in the air. It extended a | | rotating dome and orange light, and then flew away toward the | | south-southwest. In Vidor, Texas six people watched a star-shaped | | object with three rounded protrusions hover in the sky for 2 hours. | | It left when aircraft arrived on the scene. (Sources: International | | UFO Reporter, November-December 1984, p. 4; APRO Bulletin, May 1984, | | p. 7). | | | | 1991 - An orange fireball with a pale halo flew east to west along | | the waterfront in Clacton-on-Sea, England at ten minutes past | | midnight on this date. When it shot up into a cloud the cloud became | | luminescent. (Source: Timothy Good, The UFO Report 1992, p. 152). | | | | 1992 - In 1992 strange lights were seen and videotaped at 10:50 p.m. near | | Wanaque Reservoir in New Jersey. The lights maneuvered about the sky, | | and faded in and out. Wanaque Reservoir has been the scene of many | | repeated UFO sightings, especially in the 1960s. (Source: Paul | | Ferrughelli, Computer Catalogue of UFO Reports, 1988-1994). | | | | 1994 - In 1994 scientists videotaped a new aircraft over a mountain in Col | | de Vence, France at 4:30 in the afternoon. A diamond-shaped object, | | not seen at the time, appears in the replay of the videotape. A | | lens-flare was ruled out as the cause. . At 2:30 a.m. a rapidly | | blinking strobe-light flying object paced a car on US highway 285 | | near Saguache, Colorado. It flew off to the west, going at treetop | | level. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue no. 327; Christopher | | O'Brien, The Mysterious Valley, p. 244). | | | | 1995 - In 1995 a 100-meter diameter sphere followed a car for two minutes at | | 700 meters altitude near Pamiers, France at 12:10 a.m. The occupants | | of the car reported being in a state of shock after the encounter.At | | 4:00 a.m. a large white ovoid object hovered over Poligny, France. | | Six smaller orbs exited the larger object, flew around, then | | returned. At 3:10 p.m. EDT a black disc was sighted moving toward the | | northeast over Pensacola, Florida. It flew slowly at 15 mph, across | | the wind, at 100 feet altitude, and made no sound. (Source: Banque | | O.V.N.I., case 95; Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue no. 333; UFO | | Newsclipping Service, July 1995). | | | | 1997 - At 2:30 a.m. Nathalie, a young French woman, was sitting in | | her car with a companion in La Houssaye-en-Brie, France when both | | saw an object in the sky that resembled a wheel; it was made of 12 | | projecting lights revolving counterclockwise. The observation lasted | | almost two hours, during which they were unable to move. After the | | sighting they both went to sleep. Later, under hypnotic regression, | | Nathalie remembered being lifted through a conical light beam into | | the hovering craft. Aboard the craft she was submitted to various | | medical tests, and apparently given an implant. She witnessed another | | woman also being subjected to the same treatment. She described her | | abductors as being "very tall", about two meters in height, and | | assisted by a smaller "woman." Some of her abductors looked human, | | and some did not. In another room, she saw four beings sitting in | | chairs in front of glass panels. Some of these beings were courteous | | to her, and others looked to be rather irritated at her, for whatever | | reason. The beings appeared to be well built, with huge strong | | shoulders. Their heads were larger than humans and oval in shape, | | with large black slit-like eyes. Another very curious detail was that | | they had what appeared to be a lock of hair, tied up tight like a | | ponytail, that suck up straight from the tops of their bald heads. | | They wore tight fitting, two piece gray colored outfits with belts. | | In the room she saw windows in front of a corridor, the floor was | | luminous, and apparently made out of glass. She also saw a lozenge | | shaped table, black in color in the middle of the room. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1997, citing Lumieres | | dans la Nuit & GEIPIS). | | | | 1997 - In 1997 a hat-shaped UFO reportedly landed in Hayward, California at | | 9:30 p.m. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, | | June 1997 web page). | | | | 1997 - On this night a Mr. Hassan, near Redmond, Washington saw a low | | level, hovering saucer-shaped object about half a mile away that was | | glowing white. He had the headlights of his car on it, so combined | | with the glow from the UFO he could clearly see that it was abducting | | cattle. The cows appeared to be stunned, still in an upright | | position, as they floated up into the object. He also noticed "little | | monsters" on the ground. They were 50-60 pound humanoids with large | | heads, grayish white skin, and dark black eyes. The witness became | | frightened and drove off. No one else appeared to be around at the | | time. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1997, | | citing Western Bigfoot Society Newsletter, issue # 68). | | | | 1998 - In 1998 in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada two people witnessed two UFOs at | | 11:49 p.m. EDT, a large, bright object accompanied by a smaller | | orange light trailing behind it. The smaller light merged with the | | main light. Neither object made any sound. At 10:05 p.m. PDT a couple | | in Vancouver, British Columbia observed a stationary, 40-foot tall, | | vertically aligned tube in the sky. They said it was ejecting flames | | from the underneath end. (Source: UFO Research Manitoba, 1998 | | Canadian UFO Survey, cases 32 & 33). | | | | 1999 - In Ollioules, France at 11:30 p.m. local time, nine | | delta-shaped objects were seen flying in a V-shaped formation. They | | moved toward the west, then rearranged into a linear echelon | | formation. On that same night in Huntsville, Alabama a row of 5 or 6 | | blinking lights were seen flying in the sky. The sighting had | | occurred at 11:45 CDT, and the witness had been awakened by noise | | coming from the sky. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, September 1999, | | p. 10; Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, June 1999 web | | page). | | | | 2002 - On this afternoon at least 45 students said they saw a UFO | | land in the field behind Fatma Primary School in the Santral district | | of Antalya, Turkey. Several students, including Murat Esici, 11, saw | | an "alien being" emerge from the landed craft, emitting red rays from | | its eyes. It had a very big head, was about 1.80 meters tall, and | | had hands and feet that looked metallic. Miss Esici temporarily lost | | her voice immediately after the sighting. Students Zeynep Cpnar and | | Nalan Donmez also claimed they saw an unusual craft with the alien | | beside it. "His eyes and hands were red and a red light was emitting | | from his eyes." The children were overcome with shock after the | | incident. (Source: Albert S.
