+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  March 29 | | | | 1905 - A large luminous cylindrical object hung in the sky in a | | vertical orientation over Cardiff, Wales, U.K. on this day at 10:00 | | o'clock in the evening. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Computer Catalog, | | case 248). | | | | 1959 - At eight o'clock in the evening 26-year-old Horst Raps of | | Lampertheim, Germany had gone out for a walk as recommended by his | | doctor after being diagnosed with lung disease. As he walked along he | | sighted a light coming down from the sky. The light approached and he | | saw an object hovering just one meter above the ground. The craft was | | saucer-shaped and surrounded by a blue-violet light. It had a cupola | | on top that emitted bright beams of light. Fascinated, he watched as | | a stairway descended to the ground and a tall, heavy-set man emerged. | | The figure wore a tight-fitting, multicolored uniform. He approached | | Raps and spoke to him in perfect German.. He warned the witness of | | approaching future dangers and asked him to return to the same place | | three days later. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1959, citing UFO Geheimnisse, Berlin, January 1998). | | | | 1966 - There are sixteen unexplained UFO reports recorded for this | | day in UFOCAT. All occurred in either the late afternoon or evening, | | between 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. local time. One occurred in Australia and | | one in Brazil. The rest were in the Northeastern United States and | | Canada. | | | | 1966 - At 4:15 p.m. in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire a witness saw a | | brown, box-shaped object with silvery tripod legs on the ground, from | | a distance of only 24 feet. It maneuvered out from under trees before | | accelerating straight up and out of sight. It made a humming sound | | and then a higher-pitched whining sound when it accelerated. The | | witness felt a blast of air from the object, which left landing | | imprints in the soil. | | | | 1966 - At 4:20 p.m. a L-shaped box was seen sitting on the ground on | | four legs in Henniker, New Hampshire. It too maneuvered through trees | | and then ascended. Landing traces were also found at this site. | | | | 1966 - Five hours later, at 9:15 p.m. in Hamilton, Ontario Mr. | | Cozens saw two white oval-shaped UFOs land in a field. When the | | witness walked up and touched the four-foot long antenna on one of | | the objects his hand was burned. There was a flash and a buzzing | | sound when the injury occurred. The objects had red, blue and green | | flashing lights in a circle around their centers. (Sources: Raymond | | E. Fowler, UFOs Interplanetary Visitors, p. 336; Project Blue Book | | files counted in official statistics; James E. McDonald case | | investigation files). | | | | 1968 - At 1:15 a.m. a 22-year-old mechanic riding a motorbike between | | Fos-sur-Mer and Port Saint Louis in Arles, France observed a UFO | | descend and land near a power transformer. An opening appeared in the | | base of the object and a bright white light shone out from it. Then a | | human-looking entity emerged and descended to the ground on a kind of | | ramp. He wore something resembling a security guard's uniform with a | | "rolled collar." The suit was light colored and brilliant, and | | appeared woven with heavy stitches. The man's hair was in a crew-cut | | and was very light blond or white in color. The UFOnaut examined the | | ground around him and then noticed the witness, whom he watched for a | | moment before re-entering the object. The UFO took off gently with a | | gust of cool air.

Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database | | 1968, case 47). | | | | 1973 - Armando Silva and his wife, of La Salina, were at their | | country home at the seashore near Caracaya, Venezuela. On the evening | | of March 28th they had seen two elongated bluish objects high | | overhead. At about one o'clock at night they awoke to stifling heat | | inside their house. Mr. Silva went to the balcony and saw the two | | blue, capsule shaped objects they had seen earlier now flying near | | the shore. One of them dropped into the sea and re-emerged on the | | surface. It was then joined by the second, which bobbed on the | | surface nearby. Silva went down to the beach to get a better view. | | | | At one of the small windows of the first little object that came down | | from the sky he saw a tiny figure like a five-year-old child. The | | craft was floating only a few meters from shore. "I was terrified | | when...I saw a tiny figure...wearing on its head what looked like a | | great gourd. I cannot say for sure that it was an intelligent being, | | since I only saw half of its body and its head, which, as I say, | | looked like a gourd. Nor did I see any arms. And I didn't wait to see | | if it made any movements." Sr. Silva turned on his heels and ran back | | into the house, where his wife was watching from the balcony. The two | | UFOs that had come down from the sky were still bobbing up and down | | in the water when he rejoined her. The incident lasted about 15 | | minutes. (Source: David F.
