+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | | May 29 | | | | 1950 - At 9:15 p.m. an American Airlines DC-6 flying at 8000' | | altitude, climbing from Washington, D.C. and approximately over | | Rappahannock, Virginia encountered a spindle-shaped UFO. The | | object changed course to parallel the plane, then circled the | | aircraft, and reversed direction before it went out of sight very | | fast. It had a blue light on its front end. The sighting lasted | | approximately one minute, and the object was not detected on radar. | | There were three witnesses among the crew: Sperry, Bates, and | | Arnholt. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 39; UNICAT, | | case # 719, citing Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: April-July; | | True Magazine, August 1950). | | | | 1951 - At 3:41 p.m. there was a procession of a large number of | | glowing objects--at least 30--over Downey, California.

One | | observer watched the objects through a telescope, while the radar | | officer viewed the objects on the radar scope. The objects had a | | bubble dome on the top. Each object flew at an estimated altitude of | | between 10,000 and 15,000 feet at a supersonic speed and left a white | | vapor trail. The objects' course paralleled that of the carrier. The | | duration of the sighting was from 15 to 20 seconds.

Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary | | Visitors, p. 333). | | | | Saugus, Massachusetts - 1967 | | | | [image] | | | | 1967 - At one o'clock in the afternoon a small UFO, three feet in | | diameter, traveled across Trout Brook Lake in New Brunswick, Canada. | | It moved in a "spinning fashion, spraying water seven to eight | | feet high, noisy, zipped into bushes. It came back and submerged." | | (Source: report form in NICAP files from a military witness named | | Nason). | | | | 1968 - A blindingly bright circular UFO hovered at a low altitude | | over Mosinee, Wisconsin at 10:00 p.m. while dogs in the town barked | | furiously. There were electromagnetic effects during this close | | encounter, and one of the six witnesses felt pressure on his | | eardrums. (Source: J. Allen Hynek, The UFO Experience, p. 239). | | | | 1971 - At 4:00 a.m. four men out fishing on Buffumville Reservoir in | | Oxford, Massachusetts were approached twice by a dark, domed | | disc-shaped object that had a lighted rectangular window. It flipped | | on edge to reveal a row of glowing ports around its peimeter. The | | object moved up-and-down and back and forth in a pendulum motion. | | (Sources: Spencer (Massachusetts) Leader, June 3, 1971; Raymond E. | | Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 357). | | | | Oxford, Massachusetts - 1971 | | | | [image] | | | | 1974 - Turis, Valencia, Spain - At 11:00 a.m. Sr. Palmero Camanez, a | | 70-year-old farmer, was working in his fields on a sunny, hot day | | when he heard what sounded like a police siren. He then saw a | | metallic disc-shaped object with a cupola, only 150 meters away from | | him. He estimated it was 2.5 meters in diameter and two meters in | | height. (Source: Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, OVNIS y la Ciencia, p. | | 43; UNICAT, case # 497). | | | | 1975 - Two metallic hat-shaped discs flew southeast to northwest very | | quickly over Montlucon, France at 7:00 p.m. They banked to one side | | but continued on in a straight line, emitting beams of light. | | (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, March 1976). | | | | 1979 - There were two high quality reports of aircraft encounters | | with UFOs on this day. The first occurred at five minutes after | | midnight over Hailey, Idaho when a Braniff Airlines crew, as well | | as private pilots flying in the area, independently reported sighting | | five orange objects in a line, moving to the left of the airliner. | | The objects performed up and down and other maneuvers. The plane's | | engines ran rough, and the compass and ADF system temporarily | | malfunctioned. The second occurred around noon local time and | | was tracked by ground radar at Cerro Moreno Air Force Base in Chile, | | who were in radio contact with airborne military personnel, who had a | | visual sighting of a black triangular object with two small tails. | | The object made a turn, then moved in the opposite direction from the | | aircraft.

Simultaneously a powerful light came | | shining through his window, while dogs in the neighborhood | | began barking. As he looked outside he saw an object hovering above | | the treetops near his house. He was confronted by two eight-foot tall | | beings who were blocking his door. These creatures seemed to lack | | mouths, noses, and ears; but they had dark eyes and long thin hands | | with only three fingers, the middle one being the longest. The beings | | wore silvery, tight fitting overalls with a wide belt having some | | kind of tools or accessories hanging from them. He could also see | | that each wore a necklace with a medallion on it. The beings were | | busy making quick gestures, when they suddenly vanished. Sr. Flores | | could then step outdoors and witnessed a ball shaped object moving at | | high speed towards the south.

Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1986, citing Fabio Picasso, Strange Magazine # 8). | | | | 1990 - A disc-shaped object landed by a garage in Frunze in the Asian | | republic of Kyrgistan at 8:45 a.m. A three meter tall giant and six | | short humanoids exited the craft via a ladder, and gathered samples | | of oil and soil. (Source: Timothy Good, The UFO Report 1992, p. 67). | | | | 1990 - At 9:45 p.m. a "stingray" shaped craft flew over Evansille, | | Indiana at a slow steady pace and low altitude. Its multicolored | | lights were yellow, green, and red, and there were at least 15. It | | flew over a populated area at only 200 feet from west to east on a | | curved flight, and made no sound. (Source: Francis L. Ridge, Regional | | Encounters, p. 134). | | | | 1994 - At two o'clock in the morning on Funen Island, Denmark a dog | | whined as a UFO with a row of windows went slowly by to the west. An | | orange, crescent-shaped object was seen in another town at the same | | time. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 16392, citing | | SUFOI News, issue #14). | | | | 1998 - A close encounter occurred in North Bend, Ohio in Hamilton | | County at 1:30 a.m. A triangular shaped object was seen moving slowly | | from the northeast to the southwest, crossing the Ohio River at 50 | | meters altitude. It was making a humming sound, similar to the sound | | of static from high tension wires. (Source: Peter Davenport, National | | UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, Washington, May 1998 archived | | webpage). | | | | 2003 - An early-morning jogger saw a cross-shaped object with three | | big lights that was hovering at a low altitude over Watertown Square | | in Watertown, Massachusetts. It was estimated to be no more than 30 | | stories above the ground when it was seen at 4:45 a.m. It emitted | | beams of light that filtered through the fog and mist. It changed | | direction, and then silently lifted away. (Source: Peter Davenport, | | National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, Washington, May 2003 archived | | webpage). | | | | 2007 - At 11:45 a large triangular shaped object was seen flying at | | about 100 feet altitude between Pontrobert and Meiford in Wales, | | United Kingdom. It had bright green and blue lights. A second object | | with pink pulsating lights was also sighted. (Source: British | | Ministry of Defence). | | | | Written by Donald A.
