|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  December 15 |
| |
| 1950 Ground radar tracked an unidentified flying object over the |
| Oak Ridge Nuclear Research Facility in Anderson County, Tennessee at |
| 11:45 p.m. The object was sighted visually as well and described as |
| teardrop shaped. The sighting lasted 10 minutes. (Source: Loren E. |
| Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: August-December, p. 67). |
| |
| 1953 At one oclock in the morning a terrified growling dog alerted |
| the witness to a presence outside the house in Sherbrooke, Quebec. |
| There was a knock on the door heard next. Checking outside the |
| witness could see a 100-meter wide UFO flying off. Crushed bushes |
| were discovered at the landing site. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia, A Century of Landings, case no. 121). |
| |
| 1954 - On this day in 1954 a man had a close encounter with three aliens in |
| Brazil. While fishing in the river in Campo Grande in the state of |
| Mato Grosso del Sol, he saw a small sphere revolving around a larger |
| sphere, about two meters above the ground. The larger object had |
| landing gear shaped like three round balls. Three human-looking |
| occupants who were small in stature got out. They had with them a |
| luminous basket and a metal tube with a cone-shaped end. They used |
| these tools to collect soil samples. On the same day a Royal |
| Australian Navy pilot reported that two UFOs paced his aircraft. The |
| UFOs appeared on radar. (Sources: Coral E. Lorenzen, Flying Saucer |
| Occupants, p. 195, citing an investigation by Olavo T. Fontes; |
| Richard M. Dolan, UFOs and the National Security State: Chronology |
| of a cover-up 1941-1973, p. 408). |
| |
| 1956 While out gathering Christmas trees around 11:00 oclock in |
| the morning in Derry, New Hampshire, a Mr. Horne saw a two-foot tall, |
| green colored dwarf, with a high forehead, large floppy ears, and |
| short arms and legs. The texture of the creatures skin was course, |
| like the skin of an elephant. The dwarf made a screeching noise when |
| approached. (Source: Walter N. Webb case investigations, report dated |
| November 4, 1964). |
| |
| 1957 A UFO photograph was taken in Misawa, Japan and sent to the US |
| Air Force Project Blue Book. Project Blue Book did not provide an |
| evaluation of the photo. (Source: Project Blue Book files counted in |
| official statistics, December 1957, case 89). |
| |
| 1961 A Mr. Torri took a photograph of a UFO in Riccione, Italy at |
| 10:40 a.m. The photograph was published in an Italian newspaper. |
| (Source: Roberto Pinotti, Flying Saucers, January-February 1966, p. |
| 55). |
| |
| 1965 - In 1965 a phantom automobile was seen in the Cotswold Hills in Avon |
| county, England at around midnight. A vehicle shaped like a Land |
| Rover, but without wheels, passed a car, and then vanished in a puff |
| of smoke. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 7030, |
| citing Arthur Shuttlewood). |
| |
| 1967 - At 1:00 a.m. three men driving to Saxon, Wisconsin on Highway |
| 2 saw a rapidly spinning sphere with a white light on the top |
| and bottom, and red and green lights around the middle. The object |
| approached at low altitude, and then hovered over a nearby field. |
| While hovering a smaller sphere discharged from the bottom, and it in |
| turn discharged a smaller sphere, which then discharged a yet smaller |
| sphere. These small spheres hovered momentarily one beneath the |
| other, then returned to their original positions within each other |
| and into the original object, which then sped out of sight. (Source: |
| NICAP UFO Investigator, Jan.-Feb. 1968, p. 6). |
| |
| 1968 Shortly after midnight one of several UFOs in the sky swooped |
| down and paced a car with five teenage hunters inside near Coorong, |
| South Australia for over two minutes. It came close to the car |
| several times before speeding away. (Source: Michael Hervey, UFOs |
| over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 183). |
| |
| 1968 In Macon, Georgia a teenage couple, Mr. Thornton and Miss |
| Churchill, saw a dark cigar-shaped UFO with a bright dome on top at |
| around eight oclock in the evening. The dome had rotating red, |
| green, and white lights. The UFO appeared to fall from the sky, |
| stopped, tilted, righted itself, then dimmed and brightened. It shot |
| out beams of light. Bright green flashes went out from it several |
| times. (Source: Mrs. Frank Abbott, NICAP case investigation files, |
| report dated February 17, 1969). |
| |
| 1971 A round, silver disc-shaped object was sighted by a Mrs. H. |
| Parker in Bridgewater, Tasmania at 6:20 a.m. It had a brightly |
| reflective surface that flashed like a mirror over a river. After two |
| minutes the object turned slowly to reveal an oval, disc-shaped |
| appearance. It rose up, hovered for a minute, and was gone over a |
| hill. (Source: Australian Flying Saucer Review, December 1972, p. 12, |
| citing the Tasmanian UFO Investigation Centre). |
| |
| 1973 - In 1973, on a highway in Le Gua, France a near collision occurred |
| between a car and a 15-meter long silver cloud shaped UFO at around |
| eleven oclock in the morning. The UFO was heading in a southerly |
| direction, but made an instantaneous ninety-degree turn and shot off |
| toward the east. At 7:20 p.m. on a highway in Chateauneuf-sur-Loire, |
| France a green ball of light dropped from the sky. At the same time a |
| cars engine and radio died. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue |
| 134, and December 1975). |
| |
| 1975 On a farm near La Neuvelot, France at 11:00 p.m. a five-meter |
| in diameter disc landed in a field. It rose up fast and shot away |
| toward the west-southwest. At the same time there were several |
| unexplained nocturnal lights in the sky. |
| |
| 1976 - At 9:20 p.m. on this evening in 1976 in Holland, Massachusetts, a |
| cigar shaped UFO hovered stationary in the sky for a few moments. The |
| figures of three or four beings could be seen through oval-shaped |
| windows in the craft. The object disappeared in a bright red flash |
| after another 7-8 seconds. (Source: International UFO Reporter, |
| February 1977, p. 5). |
| |
| 1977 At 8:45 p.m. a domed disc illuminated the area of Saint Ciers |
| du Taillon, France like day, then flew away. It came back again the |
| same site 20 minutes later. That same night a blindingly bright light |
| came up close to a French Navy Nord-262 transport plane with three |
| crew members aboard and followed it, circling it for five minutes. |
| The UFO did not appear on ground radar at the naval base in Lorien, |
| in Morbihan department, France. Also that night mysterious booms were |
| reported up and down the eastern Atlantic shoreline of the United |
| States at around 10:30 p.m. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, January |
| 1981; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 41 citing J. |
| Troadec; Washington Post, December 17, 1977). |
| |
| 1978 - There were a series of close encounter UFO incidents in Italy on this |
| date in 1978. In Torrebruna, Italy a man driving his car shortly |
| after midnight saw a lighted UFO hovering just above the roadway. He |
| blinked his headlights and the object descended and landed on the |
| road ahead of him. The car's radio then stopped working. He got out |
| of his car and approached the object and a door opened up. He then |
| entered and found himself in a circular brightly illuminated room |
| crammed full of instrument panels. He did not see any occupants. |
| After a few minutes the witness left the object and saw it depart at |
| high speed. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
| 1978, citing Chris Aubeck, Return to Magonia; Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| numbers 214 and 240). |
| |
| 1978 - At 12:15 p.m. two young boys were playing in a yard in |
| Catania, Italy on the island of Sicily, near a large TV antenna. The |
| sky darkened and then a large disc-shaped craft approached and tilted |
| at an angle, just above the TV antenna. The object emitted |
| multicolored rays of light and had an open hatch in its center |
| section. A bright beam of light shot out of the opening and a |
| strange, 1.5 meter tall “monster” descended within the beam. The |
| being was described as "ugly" with two large eyes and two |
| antenna-like protrusions on its head. A second similar being |
| reportedly descended carrying a "laser" type gun and shot at a rock |
| causing it to burn and explode. He was seen to bend down, touch the |
| ground, and then spill a black liquid on it. Moments later a beam of |
| light transported the beings back into the craft. The craft then shot |
| away at high speed. Ground traces were reportedly found. (Source: |
| Maurizio Verga, ITACAT Italian UFO Catalogue). |
| |
| 1978 - At 5:45 p.m. a luminous orange sphere, about two meters in |
| diameter, passed low over houses in a residential area of Macomer, |
| Italy on the island of Sardinia. At 6:30 p.m. several witnesses in |
| Collegno,Torino, Italy spotted a bizarre human-like figure about 1.60 |
| meters in height, wearing a rose-colored coverall and without facial |
| features. It moved around in a field at very high speed and then |
| remained immobile, leaning against a wall for more than 30 minutes. |
| The witnesses were afraid to approach the figure. Some thought it was |
| a prank and summoned the authorities. As the police arrived the |
| strange figure suddenly ran through an opening in the wall at |
| incredibly speed and quickly disappeared from sight. (Source: Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, citing Chris Aubeck, |
| Return to Magonia). |
| |
| 1978 - Back on the island of Sicily at 11:45 p.m. a witness named Capuzello |
| saw two, two-meter tall beings exit from a saucer-shaped craft that |
| had landed on a road in Licodia Eubea, Italy. They spoke some kind of |
| unintelligible language that sounded like gibberish. (Sources: |
| Lumieres dans la Nuit, issues 214 and 240; Maurizio Verga, ITACAT |
| Italian UFO Catalogue). |
| |
| 1978 - At 11:50 p.m. a truck driver in Ragusa, Italy suddenly |
| experienced radio interference and stopped to fix it. He then saw two |
| very tall humanoids standing only five meters away. They were dressed |
| in black, tight-fitting coveralls and helmets. They helmets had short |
| protuberances like antennae on the sides and they had transparent |
| face plates. Inside human-like faces could be seen. Two bright beams |
| of light were emitted from their helmets that illuminated the cab of |
| the truck. The beings came closer and uttered unintelligible sounds, |
| then turned and left. Seconds later the witness saw a dome-shaped |
| craft take off with a bright flash. A strong smell of sulphur was |
| noticed in the vicinity. (Source: Richard Hall, MUFON UFO Journal, |
| issue # 153). |
| |
| 1980 - In 1980 over 40 people in the southeastern part of London, England |
| saw a UFO hover, divide into pieces, re-group, dart a short distance, |
| and then shoot straight up. (Source: Timothy Good, Above Top Secret, |
| p. 76). |
| |
| 1981 - At dusk in 1981 in Aksaray, Nigde province, Turkey a bright light |
| shaped like a "flying tray" hovered some 200 to 300 meters from a |
| car, performed maneuvers in the sky for a few minutes, then shot away |
| toward the southwest. (Source: Haluk Egeman Sarikaya, International |
| UFO Reporter, January 1983, p. 9). |
| |
| 1981 - In San Luis del Palmar, Corrientes Province, Argentina at 3:30 |
| a.m. 42-year-old Ruben Meneses was driving a dump truck on a dirt |
| road at 3:30 a.m when he had a close encounter with a |
| brilliant object that approached his truck. The truck began to |
| vibrate, and hefelt a tingling sensation all over his body. He was |
| unable to move as the truck was lifted up into the air and seemed to |
| become transparent. Meneses then blacked out. He later awoke sitting |
| confused in his truck at a location about 55 miles from where he had |
| been, and did not remember how he got there. He was hospitalized in a |
| state of confusion, shock, and disorientation. When he awoke he also |
| had a vague memory of a humanoid encounter.Later under hypnotic |
| regression he remembered being taken inside a room with mirror like |
| walls, where he was made to lie down on a cot-like bed. He saw three |
| short thin humanoids with dark gray skin, extremely long arms and |
| thick wrinkles on their foreheads. The little beings communicated |
| with Meneses using telepathy. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 271; Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1981, case # 3461, citing Eduardo Alfredo |
| Lopez). |
| |
| 1983 - In 1983 Mr. Coventry in Glasgow, Scotland reported seeing a fog at |
| 6:25 a.m. in which all sounds stopped. A gray flying object the shape |
| of a railroad car, but with a convex curved roof, then appeared, |
| making crackling and humming sounds. The UFO had three |
| porthole-shaped windows in the side, and what appeared to be a yellow |
| smoke swirled around in the interior of the object. It shot up into |
| the sky and was gone. (Source: Ron Halliday, UFO Scotland: The secret |
| history of Scotlands UFO phenomenon, p. 88). |
| |
| 1991 - At 7:30 p.m. on a farm in Catlett, Fauquier County, Virginia a woman |
| with multiple abduction experiences reported being abducted by aliens |
| again in 1991, this time for 70 minutes. A curious feature of this |
| abduction event was that when she was returned she noticed that the |
| aliens had put her earrings back on backwards. (Source: UFO |
| Newsclipping Service, January 1994, citing USA Today). |
| |
| 1994 - At around 3:00 a.m. Miss Myrna Rodriguez had been in a deep |
| sleep at her home in La Playa Guayanilla, Puerto Rico when she had |
| the sudden sensation that her body was being lifted up, apparently |
| floating away from the bed. She awoke with a start and found herself |
| unable to move. When she looked around she found herself surrounded |
| by four short humanoids, two on each side of her body, who were |
| apparently somehow holding her up in mid-air without any means of |
| support. The beings were short and thin, with huge, round hairless |
| heads, small pointed ears, and large, dark, slanted eyes. They had |
| what appeared to be mole-like marks under their eyes, and their noses |
| and mouths were almost indistinguishable. They had thin bodies with |
| long skinny arms. They all wore dull silvery uniforms. The beings |
| next began touching her with their delicate hands all around her |
| stomach and chest area, at the same time talking to themselves in a |
| low murmur like chatter. The witness was alarmed to see that the |
| beings somehow had suceeded in opening her chest area, without |
| causing her any pain or discomfort. They seemed to be checking her |
| internal organs, including her heart, which she saw moving as it |
| pumped blood through her body. During the whole experience she felt a |
| sense of joy and peace, and was convinced that the beings were |
| benevolent and were there to help. She eventually floated gently back |
| to her bed where she was able to move and immediately checked her |
| stomach and chest area for any scars, but found none. The beings had |
| vanished. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1994, |
| case #  2099, citing Jorge Martin, Evidencia OVNI, issue # 5). |
| |
| 1995 At 10:30 p.m. a big rectangular object with many lights |
| maneuvered in the sky at the same time that three lights were seen on |
| the road in La Spezia, Italy. The big UFO flew away to the west, |
| leaving a bright trail in the sky. An electrical power outage |
| occurred in the area at the same time. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case 17168). |
| |
| 1998 - There were many UFO reports in the early dawn hours and on this |
| evening in 1998, earlier in the evening than the normal hours for the |
| Geminid meteor shower. At 5:30 a.m. at Teterboro Airport in New |
| Jersey near New York City, a man working at the airport felt a |
| strange compulsion to go outside. When he did he saw a huge, |
| wedge-shaped craft with lights over the George Washington Bridge. At |
| the same time he heard a message, apparently through his normal |
| hearing. At nine oclock in the evening a dark equilateral |
| triangle-shaped craft outlined by lights passed silently over |
| Bethelem, Pennsylvania. It flew from the east to the west at a very |
| slow speed. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
| 1998, case 3930, citing CAUS; Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle). |
| |
| 1999 A disc with green flashing lights pulsating around its middle |
| rim section approached the beach on North Island in New Zealand from |
| the ocean traveling at a speed of 200 knots. It flew low, at an |
| estimated altitude of only 50 meters, and accelerated away making a |
| deep buzzing noise. (Source: UFO Magazine (USA), April 2000, p. 17, |
| citing Filers Files). |
| |
| 2001 - In 2001 there were many reports of a circular glowing object circling |
| the metropolitan area of Toluca, Mexico at around 3:00 a.m. The |
| object was reportedly viewed through binoculars. At 7:20 p.m. an |
| amber colored, low flying triangle moved through the sky over |
| Greensboro, North Carolina toward the southeast. Within its structure |
| it had many "translucent spheres or orbs interchanging within it.” In |
| flew off in the direction of Fayettesville. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case 17848, citing UFO Roundup; UFO Magazine |
| (USA), April 2002, p. 21, citing Filers Files). |
| |
| 2003 - At six p.m. a circular object flew over the coconut trees for |
| about four minutes in Baling, Kedah State, Malaysia, and then |
| disappeared. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle, Dec. 2003 webpage). |
| |
| 2003 - At 10:05 a.m. a witness reporting seeing star-like lights |
| during the daytime over San Francisco Bay, California that moved |
| "super fast" and stopped, and then zigzagged behind a cloud. (Source: |
| Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, Dec. 2003 |
| webpage). |
| |
| 2005 - At 9:45 a.m. a large triangle of white lights with one red |
| light in the middle, was seen standing stock still low in the sky |
| over the Santa Barbara freeway in Santa Barbara, California. (Source: |
| Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, Dec. 2005 |
| webpage, report uploaded Dec. 16, 2005). |
| |
| 2005 - A black triangle-shaped object was sighted from Dunfermline, |
| Fife, Scotland at 9:15 p.m. (Source: British Ministry of Defence, |
| case # 125 for 2005). |
