+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | | May 13 | | | | 1909 - There were several independent witnesses of a brightly | | illuminated, 80 to 100 foot long, dark airship, flying over King's | | Lynn, Norfolk, England at 9:45 p.m. Two men were visible in some sort | | of carriage underneath the object. The object travelled fast, made a | | whirring sound, and had a searchlight that lit up the road below it. | | (Source: Richard Hall, From Airships to Arnold: A Preliminary | | Catalogue of UFO Reports in the Early 20th Century (1900-1946), p. | | 7). | | | | 1949 - In 1949 on this day at 11:05 a.m. a U.S. Air Force Airman Smith, | | driving along Highway 20 west of Boise, Idaho spotted first one disc, | | then five more silver discs flying in a V formation. The objects | | spiralled down, then shot out and away to the southwest at an | | estimated 700 kilometers per hour. (Source: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A | | History. Volume 2: 1949, p. 85). | | | | 1952 - On this morning a cigar-shaped object flew back and forth in | | the sky several times over the town of Alcobaca, Portugal before | | "blowing up." Over the town of Santarem, Portugal a dazzingly | | brilliant sphere that left a vapor trail was observed for several | | minutes. Later that evening at 7:20 p.m. two orange balls of light | | were sighted over the shoreline of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. One of the | | object hovered while the second object darted out and back. (Sources: | | (1) Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1952: January-May, p. 78; (2) | | Edward Sullivan, letter from Garcia-Mendez dated May 14, 1952 to | | Civilian Saucer Intelligence, Los Angeles). | | | | 1952 - At 3:15 a.m PST an F9F pilot taking off from El Centro Naval | | Air Station, California saw what appeared to be a shooting star | | diving at an angle of 60 degrees. At around the same time the El | | Centro's Sheriff's Office received reports of five "flying saucers" | | as large as B-36's with a light underneath. They disappeared to the | | southwest at terrific speed. All together there were four separate | | reports of UFOs in the El Centro area on this date. (Source: Project | | Blue Book Report #7). | | | | 1952 - At 10:33 p.m. EST in Greenville, South Carolina James | | Richardson and three other amateur astronomers set up telescopes in a | | dark area of Furman University, when they saw a box or diamond | | formation of four oval dull glowing, reddish object nearly overhead. | | They were the apparent size of a half dollar at arms length, | | one-quarter turned and wobbling in flight. They disappeared after 3 | | seconds after moving through 12 degrees of arc. (Sources: Project | | Blue Book Report #8; Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying Saucers from Outer | | Space, p. 148; Richard F. Haines, Project Delta, p. 181, UNICAT, case | | 705). | | | | 1954 - At 11:30 p.m. Navy Commander H. R. Penrose was driving | | homeward from Derby to Burton in Derbyshire, England when a bright | | light appeared ahead of his car, heading towards him. When it reached | | him he experienced a crash and was thrown forward against the | | windshield. The car then seemed to be lifted from the ground, and he | | was moved through the air while the bright light stayed above him. | | The car came to rest atop some metal railings, and he was lifted from | | it by a man in a one piece uniform, who effortlessly carried him | | through an entrance on the underside of a large round object that was | | hovering overhead, giving out a bright light. He was taken inside to | | a room, which had some controls that were being operated by men and | | women with short hair in coveralls. They questioned him | | telepathically about his naval experiences and his work with radar. | | Then a woman injected some green fluid into his arm, after which he | | had no more conscious memories of the experience. He was found, | | suffering from concussion, in his car atop some iron railings it had | | knocked down, and was taken to hospital. After his recovery he | | revisited the spot and succeeded in finding a railway signalman who | | said he had seen a car, with an extremely bright light above it, go | | past his signal box. Hypnotic regression was planned at the time of | | the report in 1978. (Sources: Margaret & Geoffrey Westwood, FSR, | | January 1978, p. 23; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue | | of Humanoid Reports, case 1954-11, citing Westwood). | | | | 1959 - At 7:00 p.m. a domed disc was seen over the city of Colon, | | Uruguay. The circular bottom of the object rotated clockwise. The | | object itself was self-luminous, and the dome of the craft flashed. | | The UFO flew off to the west. (Sources: Roberto Enrique Banchs; Loren | | E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. | | 1959: April-June, p. 28). | | | | 1959 - Military witnesses at Offutt AFB, Nebraska, a civilian ATC, | | and all onboard a Braniff airliner witnessed a fireball fly across | | the sky toward the SW for 15 seconds. It was sighted on a clear night | | at 9:21 p.m. and was estimated to be traveling at the same speed as | | the plane. (Source: APRO Bulletin, July 1959). | | | | 1960 - There were over 20 UFO sightings including two close | | encounters in Brazil recorded for this evening in 1960 between 6:00 | | p.m. and 8:00 p.m. by Dr. Olavo T. Fontes for the Aerial Phenomena | | Research Organization. | | | | 1960 - Brazil: At shortly before 18:30 a huge cigar-shaped object came from the | | west at high speed and passed over Campos Sales, Brazil. It two ends | | were opaque and smoky, but it had a bright light at the center. It | | was seen by many residents. (Source: Dr. Olavo T. Fontes for the Aerial Phenomena | | Research Organization, between 6-8pm) | | | | 1960 - At 18:30 off the coast at Paracuru, Brazil at the location marked | | as (2) on the map, three fisherman were frightened when a luminous | | disc hovered 300 feet over their fishing boat in a clear sky for | | three minutes. It emitted a strong blue glow but made no sound. (Source: Dr. Olavo T. Fontes for the Aerial Phenomena | | Research Organization, between 6-8pm) | | | | 1960 - At the same time a huge round gray object followed a donkey herd | | between the towns of Taboleiro and Nazare, Brazil at the location | | marked as (3). The UFO had a light on its top, and flew low and | | silently. It rose vertically as it flew off. (Source: Dr. Olavo T. Fontes for the Aerial Phenomena | | Research Organization, between 6-8pm) | | | | 1960 - A 60-foot wide oval-shaped disc, almost circular, with a strong | | bluish light on top, flew noiseless and then hovered in a tilted | | position over Paracuru, Ceara State, Brazil (4) at 19:00. (Source: Dr. Olavo T. Fontes for the Aerial Phenomena | | Research Organization, between 6-8pm) | | | | 1960 - At 19:45 p.m. a military jet tried to intercept at the location | | marked as (5) over Fortaleza, Brazil. The UFO made an evasive | | maneuver, and was gone in a few seconds at supersonic speeds. | | (Sources: Olavo T. Fontes, APRO Bulletin, July 1960, pp. 3-5; Larry | | Hatch, U computer database, citing FSR, May 1961; Correio Ceara, May | | 16, 1960; O Globo, May 25, 1960). | | | | 1960 - At 4:00 a.m. the next day (May 14, 1960) Raimondo dos Santos | | saw two craft land on a hill near a farm called Capin Acu, near the | | ocean in Paracuru, Ceara State, Brazil. He went near them and saw | | several small beings, pale-looking, making friendly gestures. He ran | | away. The creatures wore blue uniforms and white helmets. The | | previous day at 7:00 p.m., over 100 witnesses observed a dark-gray, | | circular craft, 20 meters in diameter with a powerful light, | | maneuvering and hovering in the sky. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 505, citing | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 58). | | | | 1962 - Two years later it was Argentina's turn to be inundated with | | UFO reports. In the early morning hours between 4:00 a.m. and dawn | | there were 11 sightings including seven close encounters from six | | provinces in Argentina: Buenos Aires, La Rioja, Neuquen, La Pampa, | | Cordoba, and Mendoza. In Mercedes, located in Buenos Aires province, | | Argentina an Air Force man named Giashischa and his family | | encountered a mist at 4:15 a.m. while driving in their car. In a | | field they saw a 20-meter wide luminous mass spinning near the | | ground. It stood approximately 3 meters tall. | | | | 1962 - In Rio Cuarto, Cordoba, Argentina a flight of 20 multi-colored | | UFOs was sighted by many at 4:45 a.m. One object--a fiery ball of | | light 30 meters in diameter--came down to within 300 meters of a car | | full of witnesses. From one side of the object four small red orbs | | flew out, lined up behind the larger ball, then flew away in | | formation. (Sources: (1) Oscar A. Uriondo, FSR Case Histories, June | | 1973, p. 10; (2) Gordon W. Creighton, FSR, July 1964, p. 10). | | | | 1964 - At 10:15 p.m. a woman in Rio Vista, Solano County, California | | saw two disc-shaped objects glowing in the sky. One of them landed in | | a field. It was round and luminous. Also, there were other reports of | | cigar-shaped objects in the area. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, | | July-August 1964, p. 6; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A | | Century of Landings, case # 604; Frank Edwards, Flying | | Saucers--Serious Business, p. 32). | | | | 1967 - At 5:45 a.m. a close encounter occurred in Lavister, near | | Wrexham, Wales. A 15-meter diameter metallic disc glowed blue. It | | shot up, stopped, and then darkened. It glowed again on exit. The | | witness, Mr. Williams, viewed the object for 5 minutes. (Source: APRO | | Bulletin, March-April 1969, p. 8). | | | | 1967 - At the Colorado Springs, Colorado airport an unidentified | | flying object was picked up on radar at 4:40 a.m. MDT. During this | | time a Braniff flight was coming in for a landing, and the track of | | the object behaved like a ghost echo, perhaps a ground return being | | reflected off the Braniff aircraft. The radar blip appeared at about | | twice the range of the Braniff blip. When Braniff touched down, | | however, the situation changed radically. The UFO pulled to the east | | (right) and passed over the airport at an indicated height of 200 | | feet. The object passed within 1.5 miles of the control tower, but | | was not visible even through binoculars by personnel in the control | | tower. This case was written up in the Condon report, and it was | | stated there: This must remain as one of the most puzzling radar | | cases on record, and no conclusion is possible at this time. It seems | | inconceivable that an anomalous propagation echo would behave in the | | manner described, particularly with respect to the reported altitude | | changes, even if AP had been likely at the time. In view of the | | meteorological situation, it would seem that AP was rather unlikely. | | (Sources: Gordon Thayer, in Edward U. Condon, Scientific Study of | | Unidentified Flying Objects, pp. 170, 310). | | | | 1967 - At 8:00 p.m. CDT a University of South Dakota faculty member | | in Vermillion, South Dakota and five others saw a lens-shaped object | | (disc) that passed under the clouds, turned over, and changed | | directions. It first moved north to south, then northeast to | | southwest. (Sources: NICAP files, witness report dated July 18, 1967; | | Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty-Year Report, p. | | 339). | | | | 1972 - In Canterbury, New Hampshire at 9:50 p.m. a six-sided object | | with four legs with landing pads, descended from 150 feet altitude | | with a falling leaf motion, passed over witnesses, and landed | | remotely. It had a light beam and made a jet-like noise or buzzing | | sound. As an animal reaction, a cat owned by one of the witnesses ran | | away. (Sources: Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. | | 358; Richard F. Haines, CE-5: Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, p. | | 37; MUFON UFO Journal, May 1992, p. 20; NICAP UFO Investigator, July | | 1972). | | | | Canterbury, New Hampshire - 1972 | | | | [image] | | | | 1975 - Nautical UFO. At 5:20 a.m. a bright red sphere descended into | | a lake in Mosciano Sant' Angelo, Abruzzi, Italy. It moved underwater, | | then emerged. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # | | 11258, citing ITACAT). | | | | 1976 - On this day several observers in USAF F-4 Phantom jets | | reported seeing two silver objects pacing a KC-135 tanker flying over | | William AFB, Candler, California. (Sources: Dominique Weinstein, | | Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 40; Rufus Drake, Saga UFO Report, July | | 1977, p. 37). | | | | 1978 - At 3:32 a.m. police office Manuel Amparano was on the | | outskirts of Kerman, California when he saw a reddish glow ahead. He | | drove up to investigate. Getting closer, he observed an oval-shaped | | object, smaller than the apparent size of the full Moon, handing in | | the sky. It was a very bright crimson red. Suddenly, a blue beam was | | directed toward him. The object then receded and was gone. Amparano | | felt a tingling sensation in his body as he drove to the police | | station. However, six people at the station noted that he looked | | sunburned "as red as a lobster." His skin stayed that way for four | | hours before returning to normal. His skin was reddened even through | | his uniform. Althought the redness went away rapidly, there were | | areas where the skin was actually burned, on his arms, face, and | | neck. These burns were visible for two days, and the day following | | his skin blistered on his face and in places on his arms. He had the | | discomfort for a week. Doctors told him he could have been exposed to | | microwave radiation. (Sources: Allan Hendry, International UFO | | Reporter, September 1978, pp. 10-11; Fresno (CA) Bee, May 19, 1978; | | APRO Bulletin, August 1978, p. 4; UNICAT, case # 153). | | | | 1981 - In Grays, South Carolina several independent observers | | reported seeing a disc-shaped object drop down from the sky to | | tree-top level around 9 p.m. It was silent with red glowing lights; | | it hovered briefly, spinning, and then went away. (Source: UFO | | Newsclipping Service, July 1981, p. 2; citing Hampton (SC) Guardian, | | May 20, 1981). | | | | 1988 - At 4:40 a.m. a man photographed a flying saucer and jets south | | of Hormigueros, Puerto Rico. He then experienced three hours of | | missing time. When he recovers consciousness, he is south of | | Betances. During hypnotic regression he recalled humanoid beings. | | (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 14698, citing | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 311). | | | | 1988 - At 1:30 p.m. a silent metallic disc wobbled over the road near | | two witnesses in Enkoping, Sweden. It rose up vertically until it was | | gone from view. (Sources: Andre Liljegren, AFU Sweden, issue 34; | | Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 14699). | | | | 1988 - On this night painter Maria Adilia Germana Hohagen reported | | seeing numerous "extraterrestrial" craft flying over her area of Sao | | Paulo, Brazil. She heard a voice in her head tell her to return to | | her home. She did, and from the balcony observed an object with | | multicolored lights that emitted several metallic sphere. During a | | hypnotic regression session, she remembered being abducted and | | medically examined by several human looking, two-meter tall | | humanoids. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1988 Humanoid Sighting Reports | | database, citing Pablo Villarrubia & Mario Rangel). | | | | 1989 - On this night in Kodal, Norway a strong light swooped up to a | | biker twice; it vanished as a car approaches. The biker experienced | | 20 minutes of missing time. There were separate observers to the | | close encounter. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, citing | | Inforespace, issue 83). | | | | 1993 - During a restless, sleepless night in Kadima, Israel Danny | | Rotem felt compelled to get in his car and drive. At around two a.m. | | he drove to the nearby forest and saw a large egg-shaped object on | | the ground. He left his car and then a tiny being, perhaps a meter | | and a half tall, appeared. The being told Danny, "We were waiting for | | you." The humanoid floated in front of him as he walked toward the | | craft. He does not remember how he got inside, but realized that the | | object's inside dimensions seemed larger, by far, that they could be | | judging from its outside dimensions. In the middle of the room was a | | pillar with an enormous pedestal. There were 13 aliens in the room. | | Two of them led Danny to a side chamber where he was put on a very | | comfortable sofa. He was told, telepathically, not to worry, "that he | | was on a mission; you'll know what it is in time." They then made an | | incision on his left wrist. His next memory was of being in his car | | again traveling home. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1993, citing Leading Edge: UFOs in Israel, Past & Present). | | | | 1998 - A day after several witnesses reported seeing a | | triangular-shaped craft hovering over the Gulf of Mexico, just | | offshore, south of Fort Walton Beach, Florida the same witnesses | | reported seeing men in frogmen suits in the water, in the same area | | where the lights from the object had been shining down. There was | | also unusual military aircraft activity in the area. (Source: Albert | | S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1998, case 3805, citing CAUS). | | | | 2003 - At 10:00 p.m. Mrs. Lenura Azizova in Simferopol', Crimea, | | Ukraine saw a cigar-shaped object hovering north of the city. It had | | a bright, yellowish light in front that outlined the cylindrical | | shape of the craft. When it switched off the light, it was gone in | | the darkness. Its length was estimated to be 50-60 meters. | | (Source:George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's Files: Worldwide | | Reports of UFO Sightings, p. 127). | | | | 2003 - At noon in Anaheim, California cars suddenly stopped because | | of EM ignition interference. The main witness was driving home from | | his job when his new car suddenly stopped, as did the cars following | | him. The witness said, "Some of the people behind me got out of their | | cars and asked me if I knew what was going on. I said, 'I have no | | idea. This car is new, so I'm kind of mad." Then he heard a humming | | sound, so he looked around and he saw two cylinder shapes just | | sitting there above them. They then landed, then took off into the | | air, and vanished. When gone, his car and the other cars could be | | restarted. (Source: George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's | | Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, p. 118, citing NUFORC). | | | | 2003 - At 8:15 p.m. a witness was sitting in his window seat in | | Georgetown, Ontario, Canada when she saw a light outside that caught | | her attention. "As I looked up, I saw a beautiful display of rotating | | lights that slowly hovered, moving no more than 5 km/hour," she said. | | It was no more than 100 feet from her roof top. She rushed outside to | | gave at the UFO, almost paralyzed with fear. She got a very good look | | at the craft. It was not as big as she thought, and it was very | | quiet. The outer ends were rotating with a wondrous arrangement of | | lights, which sped off in an instant. At 11:35 p.m. in Terrace, | | British Columbia a ring of colored lights with a dark round object in | | the center was also seen. It moved slowly to the south. (Sources: | | George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports | | of UFO Sightings, p. 137, citing NUFORC; Geoff Dittman, 2003 Canadian | | UFO Survey, case # 195, citing HBCCUFO). | | | | Written by Donald A.
