+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  January 28 | | | | 1953 - On this evening in 1953, at 6:10 p.m., 5 silent orbs flew over | | Corona, California in a V Formation. Flying at an estimated 2,000 | | feet altitude, they changed into a row formation, then back again | | into a V formation. Speed was estimated at 150 mph. They flew from | | the southeast to the northwest. Later that same evening, over the | | Naval Air Station at Point Mugu on the California coast, US Marine | | Corps jet fighters pursued a red disc-shaped UFO. The UFO out | | accelerated the jets and moved away at high speed. Project Blue Book | | listed this later case as an official "unknown". (Sources: Loren | | Gross, UFOs: A History 1953, p. 067; Project Blue Book files, case | | #2361). | | | | 1955 - On this night in 1955, a blue nocturnal light followed a snowplow in | | the Blue Mountains in Oregon. It moved away when the snowplow | | stopped, but came back when plowing resumed. (Source: APRO Bulletin, | | March 1955). | | | | 1967 - At 1:45 p.m. a group of school boys encountered a "little | | blue man" about three feet tall, wearing a helmet, on Studham Common | | in England. The humanoid said something unintelligible, and | | disappeared and re-appeared four times, leaving behind a cloud of | | smoke. (Source: Flying Saucer Review, July 1967, p. 3). | | | | 1967 - By this date things were more or less back to normal at the | | Kushner household in Pittsfield, Pennsylvania following a frightening | | close encounter experience with a brilliant pink triangular UFO three | | nights earlier (on January 25th). However, shortly after dinner two | | strange men arrived at the door. They identified themselves as | | military investigators and flashed what appeared to be USAF | | identification. Mrs. Kushner described the ID card as having black | | printing on a durable white stock. Both men wore tan trench coats | | which they kept buttoned from knee to collar. The taller of the two, | | who did all the talking, was described as thin and deeply tanned, and | | having blond hair and green eyes. The other gentleman was heavy set | | with dark hair, piercing blue eyes and was also deeply tanned. The | | men were polite but very insistent about one thing: they wanted every | | shred of information about the girl's experience. Neither parent | | could explain why they allowed their children to be so intensely | | grilled by these "government agents." The men moved about the house | | with apparently total knowledge of the contents of the rooms, the | | placement of furniture and other objects. Their clothing looked as if | | it had been newly purchased and the bottoms of their shoes were | | unscuffed. When the mystery men left they backed their vehicle out | | onto the roadway, turned off their headlights, and powered away down | | the road. At one point one man was seen writing strange symbols in | | vertical columns, starting from the left, going down one column, up | | the next, and down the third. This was in a small booklet. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1967, citing Robert A. | | Goerman). | | | | 1968 - On this evening over Keats Island, British Columbia in 1968, a dark | | UFO with red and yellow lights at both ends was seen weaving from | | side to side.

(Source: Jacques Vallee, | | Computerized Catalogue; Larry Hatch "U" database). | | | | 1973 - In 1973 a domed, semi-circular object hovered over a pond in | | Winsford, England at 6:35 p.m. (Source: Newspaper clipping dated | | February 8, 1973). | | | | 1975 - In 1975 an ovoid-shaped UFO hovered over a football field in | | Dolianova, Italy. Only 10 meters above the ground, the object rose | | slowly into the sky at an angle when a car approached. (Source: | | ITACAT computer catalogue). | | | | 1976 - In 1976 two physiological effects cases occurred on the same night, | | the first in Benacazon, Spain and the second in Dargo, Victoria, | | Australia.

(Sources: FSR, May 1976, p. 21; FSR, October 1976, p. | | 30). | | | | 1979 - On this evening in 1979 a 1.5-meter long ovoid hovered over a house | | in Vannes, France. The UFO zipped over above an empty lot. It beamed | | white beams of light down onto the ground and up into the clouds, at | | around 5:15 p.m. A UFO witness to repeated UFO encounters experienced | | lasting physiological effects due to the close approach of 2 | | disc-shaped UFOs. The observer also heard a mechanical voice in his | | head that said, "We mean you no harm." Also on this day, a | | disc-shaped UFO shot dazzling beams of light onto a road in Taining | | County, China. (Sources: MUFON UFO Journal, September 1979, p. 3; | | Paul Dong, UFO over modern China, p. 126). | | | | 1980 - Three UFO encounters were reported in France on this day in 1980. The | | first occurred in La Racine at 4:20 a.m. An orange, glowing, lima | | bean shaped UFO flew up highway D34 for several kilometers in a | | northwesterly direction, closely following the terrain. At 7:10 p.m. | | near Grandrieux, a four-meter diameter cylinder-shaped disc followed | | a car up and down route N377. Several square windows ringed the UFO. | | Later, at Aurillac around 9:10 p.m. a luminous orange sphere flew by | | closely while shining down a beam of light. Meanwhile, several | | nocturnal lights hovered high overhead.

(Source: International UFO Reporter, March 1984, p. | | 7). | | | | 1990 - In 1990 a super large craft with bright blue lights around its | | perimeter was reported in Stockbridge, Michigan. In Gulf Breeze, | | Florida that afternoon, a MUFON UFO investigator and three others | | videotaped a round orange UFO that emitted white flashes of light | | from the top and bottom of the object. (Sources: Paul Ferrughelli, | | Computer Catalogue of UFO Reports, 1988-1994; MUFON UFO Journal, May | | 1990). | | | | 1993 - In 1993 several UFO reports occurred over Alabama and Pennsylvania. | | At 5 a.m. noise attracted a witness to the window of her home in Dog | | Town, Alabama where she saw a UFO with several lights. In Adamsburg, | | Alabama at UFO was sighted at 6:30 p.m. that was described as fat in | | the middle, and tapered at the ends. A photo was taken of a | | stealth-aircraft like UFO in Gadsden, Alabama. The US Air Force | | denied that it was one of their aircraft. At 10:15 p.m. a yellow ball | | of light with a green flashing light was seen in Uniontown, | | Pennsylvania. (Source: Paul Ferrughelli, Computer Catalogue of UFO | | Reports, 1988-1994). | | | | 1994 - On this day in 1994 a huge, dark, disc-shaped object, reddish-brown | | in color, vanished suddenly in the skies over Coulommiers, France at | | 1:14 p.m. European time. The UFO was sighted by the crew of an Air | | France A320 airliner, and reported to air traffic control. Ground | | military radar tracked the UFO for 50 seconds at a speed of 100 | | knots. About one hour later, at 8:20 a.m. local time in Lancaster, | | New Hampshire a diamond-shaped UFO with blunt points paused in the | | sky, then vanished. (Source: Paul Ferrughelli, Computer Catalogue of | | UFO Reports, 1988-1994). | | | | 1996 - In 1996 at 11 p.m. in Bridgeton, Missouri three nocturnal lights were | | seen maneuvering in the sky.

They made a faint | | humming sound. (Source: Larry Hatch, "U" computer database). | | | | 1996 - A woman in Chandler, Arizona reported a visitation by "aliens" | | in her bedroom late at night. They reportedly gave her a medical | | examination. The next morning she awoke with some scars and other | | anomalies on her body. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database, case #2342, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting | | Center, Seattle). | | | | 1997 - In 1997 a witness going to bed at 10:30 p.m. in Colebrook, New | | Hampshire shut off the bedroom light and then saw a large object, | | like sunlight reflecting off metal, rise up to clear a ridgeline.
