+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [On This Day] | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  Encounters with Aliens on this Day | | | |  April 6 | | | | 1950 - A huge sparkling saucer shaped object moved across the sky | | heading west over Westfield, Massachusetts on this day. It made a | | roaring sound as it flew. (Source: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. | | 1950: April-July, p. 9). | | | | 1952 - At 2:59 p.m. in Temple, Texas fifty to seventy-five gray-white | | discs continually changed position within a flight formation. The | | UFOs tilted in unison every 12-15 seconds during the 3.8 minute | | sighting. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official | | statistics, case # 1099; Project Blue Book Report # 7, May 31, 1952; | | Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1952 - A man named Poprocky wrote to report that at 8:15 p.m. he | | watched five lights in the evening sky over Sharon, Pennsylvania that | | looked like "a sideview of someone blowing smoke rings." (Source: | | Edward Sullivan, Civilian Saucer Intelligence/Los Angeles case files, | | letter dated April 22, 1952). | | | | 1956 - Two men saw a silvery, balloon-shaped craft about two meters in | | diameter land in a field 100 meters away from them, about eight | | kilometers east of McKinney, Texas. They stopped their car to | | investigate, but the object took off at fantastic speed. (Sources: | | Project Blue Book; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia, pp. 252-253). | | | | 1966 - At eleven o'clock in the morning in Clayton, Victoria, | | Australia numerous independent witnesses including dozens of | | schoolchildren and teachers from Westall High School watched a | | metallic disc-shaped UFO land in a nearby field, then take off again, | | while several Cessna-type aircraft and other silvery "plane-like" | | objects circled the area. Some of the witnesses found a perfect | | circle of flattened grass on the ground, while others encountered | | military or government personnel in the area who warned them to stay | | away. Some witnesses said they saw a cow in the paddock where the | | object came down. The animal was reportedly to have been in such a | | distressed state that it eventually had to be put down. One student | | who arrived before the others was found in a dazed, trance-like | | state. Other schoolchildren saw the UFO on the ground and a normal | | looking man in white coveralls walking around it, telling everyone to | | stay back. Another man appeared, this one wearing a dark uniform with | | an emblem on it. One of the men was seen entering the object, while | | the other vanished. The object emitted a loud humming sound and then | | took off. (Sources: Bill Chalker, The OZ Files; Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1966, case # 3125). | | | | 1967 - In a series of nightly encounters that began March 28th, in | | Conifer, Colorado on this night at 12:30 a.m. two lights appeared | | that looked like flashlights on a hill over the Davis ranch. The | | sister, K. Davies, saw a man in dark clothes and wearing a hood on | | top of the big hill, and later saw a lighted object hovering at the | | level of the horizon for a long time, that later ascended. (Source: | | David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, | | case A0805, citing Oleta Havelock and David Saunders). | | | | 1967 - In the same state in Redvale, Colorado later that evening, a | | single witness saw an orange-colored UFO about 100 feet in diameter | | upon driving over a hill. The car's lights went out and the engine | | backfired but it did continue running. The witness felt increased | | heat, so turned the car around. However, the object started following | | the car. Eventually it left the car and hovered over a store by the | | road. A second witness saw this portion of this event. (Source: Mark | | Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 196, | | citing CUFOS). | | | | 1967 - At shortly after 9:00 p.m. a reddish-orange light paced a | | Canadian Pacific Western airliner flying near Edmonton, Alberta, | | Canada, and then sped away. The UFO was tracked on radar for 20 | | seconds. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, March-April 1967, p. 11; Gene | | Duplantier, Flying Saucers, December 1967, p. 11; Richard Hall, The | | UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, pp. 118, 243, 335). | | | | 1972 - A huge, dark cigar-shaped object flew toward the east slowly | | for 30 minutes over Vidauban, Var department, France at 2:30 a.m. It | | had lights on top and bottom, and flew without making a sound. It was | | confirmed that no planes were up flying at the time. (Source: | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 124). | | | | 1973 - At 11:30 a.m. a domed disc-shaped object with portholes and | | landing gear came down and landed in the woods four miles west of | | Ellsinore, Missouri. At the landing site were found three holes in | | the ground arranged in a triangle pattern, and some damaged foliage. | | (Sources: Ted Phillips, Physical Traces Associated with UFO | | Sightings, case 541; BUFORA Journal, December 1973; Richard Hall, The | | UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 263). | | | | 1973 - At 8:00 p.m. Mrs. Thompson of Charleston, Missouri saw | | egg-shaped object at treetop level after her TV set went off and on. | | She then saw a bright flash of light in her kitchen. (Sources: J. | | Bernard Delair, UFO Register, Volume 5 (1974), case 200; Richard | | Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 340). | | | | 1975 - At 2:00 a.m. two 18-year-old youths, Rod Seagraves and Mike | | Lewandowski, were driving west on highway A from Wausau, Wisconsin | | toward Athens when their CB radio stopped working. Mike saw a UFO | | about 1500 feet north of the road. It was flat on the bottom and | | dome-shaped on top, and was on or just above the ground. It shone | | with a pulsating silvery-gray light. In another five minutes of | | driving they saw what looked like a seven-foot tall "tree trunk" near | | the road. It was about 100 feet away, and Mike saw it moving slowly. | | He then drove away toward the west. Reaching Wausau, they parked the | | car behind a restaurant and both fell asleep at around three a.m. | | When they awoke at 6:30 a.m. the car was in a different location in | | the parking lot, both were dirty, and a quarter of a tank of gasoline | | was gone, which suggested to them that they had driven back to the | | location of the UFO, but had no recollection of doing so. In | | subsequent months Mike reported having trouble with his thinking, and | | his memory was poorer than before the incident. (Source: David F. | | Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1975-19, citing Richard Heiden for CUFOS). | | | | 1975 - A sighting at sea occurred on this day by the crew of the | | Japanese ship Shinto Maru, sailing off Singapore. The white, domed | | disc-shaped UFO skimmed the water, then ascended. (Source: Richard | | Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 137). | | | | Shinto Maru near Singapore - 1975 | | | | [image] | | | | 1975 - At 5:15 p.m. five red lights in close formation came in over | | the Strickland farm one mile north of Pembroke, North Carolina at an | | estimated speed of 100 mph. They landed not far away, with smoke | | rising from the ground. At the landing site there were six burnt | | trees. (Sources: Ted Phillips, Skylook, December 1975, p. 16; Jennie | | Zeidman, The Lumberton Report: UFO Activity in southern North | | Carolina, p. 21). | | | | 1975 - On this night in San Juan, Puerto Rico Willie Lopez, a disc | | jockey, was working in the penthouse studio of WBMJ atop the | | Darlington Hotel when he heard three knocks on the window of the | | terrace behind his control panel. There was no way for anyone to get | | out there without going through the studio, and Lopez had seen no one | | come in. Curious, he went to the window and saw a "glowing figure" | | outside that ran and hid behind one of the columns atop the hotel | | structure. Nervous, he called the station manager Jose Manuel in the | | hotel. He then went back to the window and saw a luminous oval object | | 40 feet wide, no more than 4 feet from the hotel tower, performing a | | slight rocking motion in the air. He was so stunned that he pulled | | the curtains from the curtain rod. Going back to the controls, he cut | | into the music broadcast to describe to his listening audience what | | had just happened. About this time, Jose Manuel arrived at the | | studio. The disc jockey was in such a state of shock that he had to | | be taken to the hospital and sedated. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1975-15, citing | | Sebastian Robiou Lamarche). | | | | 1977 - The witness, a woman in her thirties living on Rue Cleroux, | | Ste. Dorothee, Quebec, Canada was in her kitchen at seven p.m. when | | she saw a strong light come in her back window. When she raised the | | blind she saw a disc-shaped object with a dazzling, pulsating white | | luminosity, about 35 feet in diameter. It was hovering several yards | | above a tree 35 feet tall. It bore a pulsating red luminous domed | | cupola on top without windows. Around its lower periphery revolved | | yellow, green, blue, and red blinking lights. She heard a buzzing | | sound like a huge swarm of bees. | | | | After watching the UFO for perhaps 15 seconds, she ran to her | | bathroom and hid. Two minutes later the noise and the light ceased. | | She went out on the street in front of her house where she found a | | 13-year-old boy, Jos Madison, pointing a carbine at the sky. The now | | silent disc-shaped UFO was hovering 100 feet up in a tilted position. | | Jos did not fire his gun, but called to his friend Alair Narby, also | | 13 years old. Jos's two sisters also joined them and watched the UFO, | | which was now moving from place to place above the houses by jumps | | too rapid to observe. It then stopped in place for more than five | | minutes, during which Mrs. Madison came out and also observed it. | | | | Now after sunset, the UFO moved off toward the Nadon River, where it | | again dashed back and forth. The two boys followed it to the Nadon | | field by the river, in which there was a temporary pond formed by | | melted snow. They saw the UFO approach the river, flying very low, | | and it skimmed over the pond producing a loud sizzle of boiling | | water. It then landed behind a slight rise. It then emitted a very | | strident sharp sound. After four or five minutes a humanoid being | | appeared, visible from the waist up because of the terrain. He had a | | helmeted head, shiny red and metallic shoulders, and was seen from | | the rear. He appeared in front of the object. Above his head was a | | red light, apparently floating in midair. He looked to the right and | | left, then bent down and was not seen again. Shortly afterward the | | disc rose, lit up, and at an altitude of about 65 feet resumed its | | erratic movements. Darkness had fallen and the boys returned home, | | finally running because it seemed to them the UFO was following them. | | They temporarily suffered partial deafness, perhaps from the UFO's | | noise. At least three families on the block experienced total | | interference with their TV reception during this time. At the landing | | site different tracks and what appeared to be footprints were found. | | (Sources: Marc Leduc, UFO Quebec, April 1977, issue # 10; HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-74, citing Marc Leduc). | | | | 1980 - Three bright spheres hovered low over a house in Lodz, Poland | | spreading a blinding light. Frightened, the couple living in the | | house locked themselves in and came out only the following morning, | | when the three spheres had gone. (Source: E. Russo, UFO Newsclipping | | Service, April 1980, p. 8). | | | | 1986 - On this night at 8:45 p.m. a large disc-shaped ojbect was seen | | over San Francisco, California. It split into two discs, then a third | | disc joined the pair, making a V formation that flew off rapidly to | | the north. (Source: Robert Gribble, UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, | | case 1064). | | | | 1994 - Early in the night at one o'clock in the morning a 60-foot | | diameter disc was sighted hovering briefly over a road in Welcombe, | | Devonshire, England. It then shot off to the west and out to sea. | | (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, August 1994). | | | | 2000 - At 8:35 p.m. two bright green objects were seen shooting | | through the sky over Arlington, Texas with an orange object circling | | around the lead object. There were two other reports from Texas on | | this afternoon and evening as well. (Source: Peter Davenport, | | National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). | | | | 2003 - At 4:50 p.m. a high altitude object was seen flying over | | Phoenix, Arizona. It stopped, started, made 90 degree turns, and | | reflected sunlight. It had no exterior lights. An airliner was seen | | passing below the UFO. Fifteen minutes later a spherical UFO came | | from the south, stopped, made some sharp turns, and flew off toward | | the east. (Source: UFO Magazine (USA), June 2003, p. 30, citing | | Filer's Files April 9, 2003). | | | | 2005 - In Oakdale, California a glowing orange-colored spherical | | object zigzagged across the sky at a high rate of speed at 8:40 p.m. | | It was completely silent. | | | | Written by Donald A.
