+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  March 5 | | | | 1946 - Sr. Joao Prestes Filho, age 40, had anticipated an uneventful | | day of fishing in Aracariguama, Sao Paulo State, Brazil but he | | returned home at 7:30 p.m., terrified by his encounter with a beam of | | light that came from the sky and struck him without warning nor any | | noise. He went into his house saying that he had been hit by a silent | | beam of light, which stunned him and knocked him to the ground. A | | little while later his flesh looked like it had been cooked, as if it | | had been exposed to intense microwave energy, and started a rapid | | deterioration. He died from the effects.  (Sources: Felipe Machado | | Carrion, FSR, March-April 1973, p. 14; Jacques Vallee, | | Confrontations: A Scientist's Search for Alien Contact, p. 124). | | | | 1950 - At 1:30 a.m an ex-Air Force officer driving on Highway 80 in | | Saltsburg, Pennsylvania said he watched a turtle shell-shaped disc | | hovering at low altitude. The 15 meter wide object kept away from him | | when the witness attempted to approach it. At 7:00 a.m. on this same | | date twenty witnesses watched a 25 foot wide, extremely bright UFO | | maneuver in the sky over Gering, Nebraska. It appeared to change | | shape as it flew off toward the southeast. In the afternoon a | | metallic flying disc trailing some kind of ribbon hovered, darted | | about, and jumped into some clouds over Houston, Texas. It left | | flying toward the east. That night in Bloomfield, New Mexico a dark, | | five-foot diameter disc paced a car. When the driver stopped the car | | the object circled the car, then sped away at a high speed. (Sources: | | newspaper clippings, March 10, 1950 and March 27, 1950; Loren Gross, | | UFOs: A History, 1950: January-March, pp. 11, 31-32). | | | | 1953 - Two separate UFO radar-visual events occurred at two | | locations, in northeast Georgia and across the river in South | | Carolina. An object maneuvered in the sky at 5:07 p.m., then circled | | Congareee AFB in Sumter County, South Carolina, flying into a | | prohibited area. An earlier radar-visual sighting of a disc-shaped | | object was made at the Savannah River (Nuclear) Project. at 3:45 p.m. | | The sighting lasted for two hours and seven minutes, and RF-80 | | fighter jets and Air National Guard F-51's were scrambled to | | intercept. The U.S. Air Force attempted to explain the sightings as a | | weather balloon. (Sources: Project Blue Book Report #11, report dated | | May 31, 1953; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1953: March-July, p. | | 3). | | | | 1957 - On this morning at 8:13 a.m. a fighter pilot flying over | | Rouen, France photographed a hat-shaped saucer identical in | | appearance to the McMinnville, Oregon photograph taken by Paul Trent | | in 1950. (Sources: Life Magazine, April 1, 1966; Frank Edwards, | | Flying Saucers: Here and Now, pp. 46 & 80; Brinsley LePoer Trench, | | The Flying Saucer Story, p. P-7).  | | | | 1965 - On this afternoon two radar technicians were repairing the | | height finder radar antenna located northeast of Benton Air Force | | Base near Red Rock, Pennsylvania when a small metallic looking | | saucer-shaped object landed near them. A beam of light came out of | | the object and struck both technicians, and that was the last they | | could remember of the incident. They failed to report to their | | command post, and a search by both military and civilian police | | ensued. Sixteen hours later a state trooper found the two men walking | | on Route 487 in a dazed state. They were taken to a local hospital | | and found to be dehydrated. Later, trace amounts of alpha radiation | | were found on their clothing, and unexplained marks were discovered | | on their necks. One of the men had a brief recollection of | | encountering strange short creatures, who poked instruments into his | | eyes, ears, and mouth. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer database; | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1965, case # 3376, | | citing George Filer, Filer's Files, Volume 9, No. 36). | | | | 1966 - At 9:00 p.m. a 20 meter in diameter bowl-shaped saucer with a | | hexagonal cabin hovered over a golf course in Melbourne, Victoria, | | Australia making a humming sound. It shot away extremely fast. | | (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 7082). | | | | 1967 - At 1:25 a.m. in Lovasen, Vilhelmina, Sweden two discs, one 30 | | meters in diameter and the other 15 meters in diameter, hovered at 20 | | meters altitude near an electric plant. They flew to the | | north, slowly at first and then extremely fast, lighting up the | | surrounding forest. (Source: Axe Jonsson, FSR, March-April 1968, | | p. 12).  | | | | 1967 - Four members of the Carter family were driving together | | between Pierre and Midland, South Dakota on this night when they were | | approached at telephone pole height by a V-shaped object with a | | bright light. It made a humming sound as it passed low over the car | | and it illuminated the ground with a bright light, and the occupants | | felt a numbness. It thensped away erratically. (Sources: Rapid City | | Journal, March 7, 1967; APRO Bulletin, March-April 1967, p. 11; | | Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence: Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, | | p. 267 & 331). | | | | 1967 - At 11:00 p.m. U.S. Air Force security personnel watched as a | | disc-shaped object descended and hovered over a missile site near | | Minot AFB, North Dakota. Reported by the guards, other airmen in | | trucks chased it. It shot up vertically when jets were scrambled. | | There was radar confirmation of the presence of the object. (Sources: | | Donald E. Keyhoe, Aliens from Space...The Real Story of Unidentified | | Flying Objects, p. 10; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence: Volume II. | | A Thirty Year Report, pp. 80, 331, 372). | | | | 1971 - Gilbert Camus, a radio technician, was driving to his shop in | | Savigny, Jura department, France at 1:10 a.m. He was between Trenal | | and Condamine when he noticed lights ahead on the right side of the | | road. As he approached, he saw that these were on a line of eight | | bluish luminescent rectangles on the ground in a marshy meadow beside | | the road. Above them he could distinguish, in the moonlight, a | | flattened hemispherical dome, apparently of dark metal, about 25 feet | | high and 50 feet wide. | | | | When he got closer to the object he saw three "animals" on all fours | | climbing up the road bank. Their heads were level with his windshield | | so they "must have been of great stature." Their heads were shaped | | like an ant's with "a rounded lobe flanked by two other lobes | | swelling out like cheeks." He saw no faces. In the meadow he could | | see about 20 more of these beings, some upright and others on all | | fours. His car had just passed them when it filled with a bluish | | white light from behind, as if a "ray" had been projected at him. He | | lost control of the car, which spontaneously slowed down to about 12 | | mph, then recovered its initial speed when he reached the outskirts | | of Condamine. Later, when he took off his clothes he found on his | | shirt, below the belt line, several golden yellow rectangles about 1" | | by 2". These disappeared after a few minutes. Three days later | | similar chocolate brown rectangular marks appeared on his undershirt, | | and these persisted through 3 or 4 washings. | | | | The paint began to come off his car when he washed it. Most | | surprisingly, he found himself cured of a liver ailment, which until | | then had been giving him excruciating headaches. A semi-elliptical | | imprint was found in the meadow the next day about an inch deep, with | | a long axis of about 36 feet. Inside the circle dandelions, abundant | | elsewhere in the meadow were absent, and where it crossed a drainage | | ditch the ice in the ditch had melted, and the water still seemed | | warm. At the edge of the woods beside the ground marks a large tree | | branch was freshly broken off. In the snow were footprints like those | | of "shoes without heels", some as big as 16" long. (Source: David F. | | Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1971-39, citing M. Tyrode and Fernand Legarde). | | | | 1976 - At dusk Mrs. T.  went to her back doorstep in Cheshire, | | Connecticut to call in the children. When she looked up she saw an | | object moving slowly at treetop level “a few thousand feet away.” Her | | husband came out and saw it, two. It had a translucent dome on top | | and gold lights around its periphery. Above the dome was a deep red | | flashing light, and there were holes in the bottom out of which a | | blue light shone. Mr. T. estimated its size as 80 feet in diameter. | | It descended among some trees in a wetlands area near their home. | | They watched it for two hours, until 9:30 p.m. The man and his two | | sons then got in their van and drove to a point closer to the object. | | They noticed an unnatural silence, but could not get a good view. | | When they returned home Mrs. T. was missing. After searching the | | house, they returned to the living room when she suddenly showed up. | | Her speech was slow and slurred, and she claimed that she had been in | | the bedroom. At 11:30 p.m. the couple went to bed, but they woke up | | at 12:45 a.m., finding that they had somehow exchanged positions in | | bed. Both felt nauseous, and the back door of their house was found | | to be open. The next day an investigator visited them and discovered | | three wedge-shaped holes in the ground and broken tree branches where | | the UFO had evidently landed near the house. A few days later the | | couple vaguely remembered being taken onboard the craft during the | | hour before they woke up. The husband clearly recalled “being in a | | galley area where they were eating. An extraterrestrial was sitting | | there with his head on his hand looking up at me as if saying, “What | | are you doing here?” This being had wrinkled whitish gray skin, high | | cheekbones, a high forehead, and eyes that were three or four times | | bigger than human eyes; he was also bald. He was looking at the man | | with an expression of “disdain.” Under hypnosis the wife remembered | | much more. One kind of alien was about four feet tall, a second | | group, “the doers”, were about 5.5 feet tall; and a third type with | | huge eyes and pupils like that of a cat, was 6.6 feet tall. The | | couple said the beings communicated with them by telepathy, and that | | they believe that “their minds have been probed by extraterrestrials | | since the March incident.” (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1976-88 (A1805), | | citing James Harder, James Barrett & Dick Nycz for CUFOS). | | | | 1976 - Miss Rasmussen, a 23-year-old woman in Redmond, Oregon first | | saw an object high in the sky at 9:25 p.m., which then dropped down | | to an altitude of only 75 feet. The object was disc-shaped, about 26 | | feet in diameter, and had red and white lights revolving around its | | exterior. Two light beams were directed from the object to the | | ground. The radio in her car went dead when the object came near, and | | although the woman kept driving, the radio did not work again until | | two miles down the road. The object did not follow the car. (Sources: | | CUFOS News Bulletin, June 1976, p. 5; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports | | Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 68, case 395, citing CUFOS). | | | | 1977 - At 11:00 p.m. Lonnie Stites and his wife, Deborah, were | | driving their pickup truck around a bend in the road in McNatt, | | Missouri when "the whole area lit up like a football field light was | | turned on, and a very bright light was shined on our windshield." He | | saw a man of normal height or slightly smaller stature standing | | alongside the road. He was human looking, but dressed in green | | coveralls with square glasses and a tight green cap over his ears. He | | was "waving us down." Up on the hill was another figure carrying what | | appeared to be "a ball of electricity about the size of a | | basketball." The second figure was walking away from an object that | | looked like a water tank, about 10 feet across and 10 to 15 feet | | tall, with red lights going around it. The UFO was about 50-60 feet | | from them. Mrs Stites said that she saw two people on the hillside | | carrying "basketball sized lights," and that the UFO at one point | | flew over the truck. They turned the truck around and drove away in | | great fear. (Sources: St Louis (MO) Post-Dispatch, May 1, 1977; David | | F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1977-11, citing Monte Blue Skelton & Bob Pratt). | | | | 1992 - A military policeman, Luis Ribeiro de Oliveira and his friend | | Pedro Rodrigues da Silva, had gone hunting for wild ducks in an | | isolated area in the Rio Palhano area, Ceara State, Brazil. At 6:30 | | p.m. both men observed what appeared to be a "star" descending at | | high speed. Suddenly a bright light enveloped both men and Pedro ran | | and hid behind some nearby bushes, while Luis ran towards town with | | the light chasing close behind him. Luis could see that the light now | | resembled a luminous, wheel-shaped object the size of a bus. Soon he | | felt he was being sucked up into the object, while his friend Pedro | | watched in terror as he saw Luis being taken up into the light. Pedro | | saw Luis enter the round light and then it suddenly vanished in plain | | view. Terrified but determined to help, Pedro armed himself with a | | shotgun and searched the area. However, was unable to find Luis | | anywhere in the area, so he ran to town and entered the local bar, | | telling everyone what had just happened.  | | | | Five hours later Luis appeared in town and told Pedro what had | | happened to him after he disappeared. He remembered running and his | | legs suddenly becoming numb. He then recovered consciousness, hearing | | strange foreign sounding voices, and when he looked up he saw five | | strange humanoid beings standing in front of him. Frightened, he | | asked them in Portuguese what was going on, and he received the | | following answer: "Don't be afraid, we won't harm you, we are | | Catadorians from Catandorius Decnius. Our civilization originated | | from another higher civilization that lived on the earth 353,000 | | years ago." They pointed to a small pyramid shaped object and told | | Luis that it was a model of their "temple." The aliens told Luis that | | they were here on Earth looking for remnants and descendants of that | | lost civilization that they claimed lived in underground caves and | | tunnels worldwide. Luis was then placed inside a gas-filled sphere in | | the middle of the room. In front of him was a panel with multicolored | | lights, and he heard what sounded like radio transmissions. The five | | beings stood around him, standing about 1.5 meters (4½ feet) tall, | | and spoke in a strange language. Nevertheless, their leader could | | communicate with the witness telepathically in perfect Portuguese. | | Soon the leader left to speak with the other aliens, and Luis lost | | consciousness again. When he woke up he found himself in the same | | place that the UFO had originally picked him up from. Feeling a | | little dizzy, he searched for Pedro and found his shotgun, and then | | walked back to town. Luis described the humanoids as short with gray | | skin, black eyes lacking any pupils or eyelashes, large heads, wide | | shoulders, and they wore tight fitting clothing with boots and | | gloves. Their heads and bodies were completely hairless. Their speech | | was measured and their breathing was heavy and labored. Every time | | their leader spoke to the others Luis felt a sharp pain in his head. | | All the humanoids were identical to each other; he could not tell any | | difference among them.

Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1992, case # 2394,citing UBPDV 1992). | | | | 1994 - A radio died inside the house of the witness at 10:50 p.m. in | | Martigues, Bouches-Rhone department, France when a delta-shaped | | object oscillated in the sky outside. The object flew on a | | westerly trajectory. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 324). | | | | 1997 - At eight o'clock in the morning a two-meter long vertical | | cylinder was spotted landed in a field in San Martino d'Spino, | | Lombardia, Italy. The craft measured one meter in diameter, had three | | legs and two portholes. It took off to the west when approached. | | (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 17886, citing | | Revista Info UFO, Italy). | | | | 2004 - Some famous UFO photographs were taken on this day near Mexico | | City, Mexico. A Mexican military surveillance aircraft captured | | multiple objects (11) with its infra-red sensors.  The objects were | | not visible to the flight crew at the time.  There was extensive | | publicity about this event in May 2004. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U | | computer database, case # 18196; Peter Davenport, National UFO | | Reporting Center website). | | | | 2005 - Two football-shaped solid yellow lights passed a car and its | | driver at close range northeast of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. They | | buzzed the car only four feet away and just six feet off the ground. | | No sound  was heard or heat felt during the close encounter. (Source: | | Geoff Dittman, Canadian UFO Survey 2005, case # 17, citing NUFORC). | | | | 2006 - A slow moving, chevron-shaped object with brights lights on | | the underneath of the wings, made no sounds as it passed over | | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at 9:00 p.m. (Source: Peter Davenport, | | National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, March 2006 webpage, report | | uploaded May 15, 2006). | | | | 2007 - A hovering saucer-shaped object with yellow lights was | | reported in the sky over Washington, D.C. at 7:00 p.m. It was | | approached by a bronze-colored object, triangular or flying wing | | shaped, which hovered nearby.
