+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  November 5 | | | | 1950 - At 11:55 a.m. Fairchild Aircraft illustrator Don Patrick in | | Oak Ridge, Tennessee saw a translucent pear or bean-shaped object, | | light gray with a dark core, fly through the sky for 5-10 minutes | | with rapid, darting movements. (Sources: Project Blue Book files | | counted in official statistics, case #829; Don Berliner, Project | | Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1954 - La Coruna, Spain. Gonzalo Rubinos Ramos, whose car had broken | | down, saw a large, shining disc rise 150 meters away with a slight | | noise like an explosion. It flew away at fantastic speed. (Source: | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 328, | | citing Le Parisien, November 8, 1954). | | | | 1954 - In La Roche-en-Brenil, France at 10:10 a.m. Raymond R. saw a | | craft that made a noise like a large transformer and gave off an | | orange light, land in a pasture. Three men in dark coveralls were | | standing nearby. One was holding a sort of box, "which emitted a beam | | of light three meters long." The other two were holding objects that | | looked like weapons. Another witness fled and felt pricklings on his | | face as he ran. Four photographs of the scene were taken. Traces | | included a whitish substance and a circle three meters in diameter | | where the ground had an ashlike appearance. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 329; Michel Figuet & | | Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le Premier Dossier Complet des Rencontres | | Rapprochees en France, p. 445). | | | | 1956 - A huge round object with sharply outlined edges passed | | overhead in Malvern, South Africa at 8:30 p.m. The flying object made | | no sound as it flew into a cloud. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer | | database, case 4816, citing Flying Saucer Review, Volume 3, No. 1). | | | | 1957 - A brilliant white ovoid object moving at a high rate of speed | | was sighted by the crew of the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Sebago, 200 | | nautical miles south of New Orleans in the Gulf of Mexico. Three | | radar contacts were made with the UFO between 5:10 and 5:20 a.m. It | | was clocked moving at 1,020 mph. It was seen by four crew members as | | it moved horizontally through the sky from south to north and | | disappeared behind some clouds. (Sources: New Orleans Times-Picayune, | | November 6, 1957; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence (Volume I), p. 86; | | Michael David Hall, UFOs: A Century of Sightings, p. 253). | | | | 1957 - New Castle, Indiana. An object looking like "a big meat | | platter" was seen at close range by Mrs. Jasper Barlow and her two | | children, who were inside their car. It had a flickering light on the | | bottom. There was no ignition interference noted. (Source: Jacques | | Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 422, citing | | Alexander Mebane). | | | | 1957 - New York, New York. In Van Cortland Park in New York City at | | 4:30 a.m., Frank C. was talking with a bus driver when they both saw | | a metallic disc-shaped UFO in the park, about 400 m away. It was | | spinning and making a soft whirring sound. On top was a fixed dome | | with portholes. The object was hovering at tree height. A yellow | | light from the craft suddenly illuminated the area, and it flew off | | "like a shooting star. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: | | A Century of Landings, pp. 262-263). | | | | 1957 - Three railroad men watched two silvery ovoid UFOs pass | | overhead at high speed in East St. Louis, Illinois at 11:45 a.m. | | (Source: Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 165). | | | | 1957 - At 5:30 p.m. a man in Scotia, Nebraska heard a noise similar | | to that of a helicopter and perceived a "burning" odor. He saw a | | balloon-like, elongated object that came to ground level, did not | | touch the ground, but rose again and disappeared. The witness was | | "paralyzed" during the observation. The object appeared to have | | generated thick smoke. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: | | A Century of Landings, p. 263). | | | | 1957 - At 6:20 p.m. an object variously described as silver or | | orange, and saucer or ovoid shaped, was seen over a wide area for a | | ten minute period around Dauphin, Manitoba. At 6:40 p.m. a shiny | | silver UFO hovered over Winnipeg, Manitoba and was seen shifting from | | left to right and back again in the sky. It shot off toward the | | southwest when RCAF planes approached. (Source: Richard Hall, The UFO | | Evidence (Volume I), p. 165). | | | | 1966 - On this night Mrs. Kathleen glanced out the kitchen door of | | her house in Arlington, Indiana and saw a lighted object, which moved | | toward her and hovered 50 feet away, some 20-30 feet up in the air. | | It was as big as a house and Saturn-shaped. In the middle of the | | object were brightly lit windows. Mrs. Kathleen could see in these | | windows a man and two women, who appeared to be on different floors. | | The man, muscular in build, was manipulating something like a | | steering wheel and was staring directly at her, which frightened her. | | One of the women who was on the lower level handed him a small object | | "like a cup of coffee." After about three minutes the object began to | | move westward, then rose steeply emitting a multicolored exhaust. It | | moved off at a speed greater then a jet. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1966-52 | | (A0746), citing Don Worley). | | | | 1967 - Truck driver Karl Farlow told police that at 11:30 p.m. his | | lights and radio blacked out, although his diesel engine continued to | | work, when he saw a three-meter long egg-shaped object 15 meters away | | at Fordingbridge, England. Moments later, a white Jaguar sports car | | came from the opposite direction and its engine stalled and | | headlights failed. The UFO, emitting a green light and showing a | | whitish dome under its lower surface, hovered between the two | | vehicles for two minutes and left at a high speed. (Source: Jacques | | Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 896). | | | | 1968 - There was a report of a UFO that scorched the earth in Clare, | | South Australia on this day. (Source: Michael Hervey, UFOs Over the | | Southern Hemisphere, p. 182). | | | | 1969 - There were two cases of UFO reports involving animal reactions | | and burnt landing traces from New Zealand on this day. In the first | | a horse was reported to be panicked on a farm in Kaharoa, Bay of | | Plenty, New Zealand. Later three circles of burnt grass were found, | | and the third circle straddled a paddock fence. In Puketutu, Waikato, | | New Zealand some cattle and a dog were reported to be agitated, while | | later a burnt circle was found on a small island in a pond. (Source: | | Data-Net Report, January 1970, p. 12). | | | | 1971 - Two railroad men were dazed and incoherent in South Johnstone, | | Queensland, Australia after their close encounter at ten p.m. with | | a ball of fire, which burnt a sugar cane field. (Sources: Ted R. | | Phillips, Physical Traces Associated with UFO Sightings, case 495, | | citing Evening Advocate; ACOS Bulletin, June 1977, p. 21). | | | | 1990 - There are 92 UFO reports recorded for this day from Europe, | | all but seven occurring in France. Most occurred between 6:20 p.m. | | and 7:30 p.m. Ordinarily such a large number of reports would suggest | | a meteor shower or a satellite re-entry as the cause, but many of the | | descriptions do not fit such explanations. At 5:25 p.m. a triangular | | UFO with luminous jet streams coming out of one edge flew over | | Kelheim, Bavaria, Germany. Ninety minutes later a Russian space | | station re-entry occurred over France and Germany. There are two | | reports from that time period of objects making a buzzing or purring | | noise. At 7:00 p.m. in Chissay-en-Tourain, France a dark triangular | | UFO flew over making a buzzing noise. At the same time in Anguleme, | | France a surgeon saw a formation of lights that made a purring sound. | | (Sources: Illobrand von Ludwiger, Best UFO Cases--Europe, p. 35; | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, issues 304, 305, and 306). | | | | 1990 - At 7:00 p.m. in St. Germain, Aube, France during this intense | | regional wave of UFO reports that coincided with a Russian satellite | | re-entry, numerous witnesses watched a large delta-shaped object | | flying at a low altitude. It shone several beams of light towards the | | ground. A man-like figure was seen moving around inside a cabin-like | | structure. It flew towards the northeast and vanished. Please bear in | | mind that satellite re-entries are predictable in advance and could | | serve as the perfect cover for covert aerial activity. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1990, case # 2362, | | citing Lumieres dans la Nuit). | | | | 1990 - Later this night Rudolph Bauer, a local artisan residing in | | Leipzig, Germany, reported seeing a short metallic robot-like entity | | equipped with antennas, who flew soundlessly over the area. It | | disappeared while moving at high speed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1990, case # 2442, citing Ulrich Magin). | | | | 1991 - Two MUFON investigators, Weatherford and | | Morrison, photographed a structured UFO in Gulf Breeze, Florida with | | a curved shape above a blazing red light on the bottom. There were | | multiple witnesses, and the object was viewed through binoculars. | | (Source: The Islander Pensacola, November 15, 1991; Gary Watson, in | | Timothy Good (ed.), Alien Update, p. 239). | | | | 2000 - At 7:30 p.m. a red cylindrical UFO, the shape of a 44 gallon | | drum, with a white band around the middle, was sighted floating in | | water nearWoody Point, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia just 20 meters | | away from the witness. It was steady in the water despite the fact | | that the ocean at the time was quite choppy. The object silently sped | | off above the water, then shot up, and was gone from view in 5-10 | | seconds. (Source: Sheryl Gottschall, UFO Research Queensland | | website). | | | | 2003 - At 8:35 p.m. an oval-shaped UFO came up from a pasture in | | Mabank, Texas and darted toward the witness' car. It had a yellow | | glow around it. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting | | Center, Seattle, November 2003 webpage). | | | | 2004 - Approximately 15 oval-shaped UFOs were spotted in Santa Ana, | | California at 10:50 a.m. moving slowly in unison, making different | | patterns in the sky, and reflecting at different times in the | | sunlight. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, | | Seattle, November 2004 webpage). | | | | 2007 - At 12:30 a.m. a hovering saucer-shaped object with a beam of | | light, along with a possible creature sighting, was reported in | | Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
