|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  December 21 |
| |
| 1955 From her bedroom window in Washburn, Maine Mrs. Jacobs watched |
| a reddish-orange glare resolve into a golden domed elliptical saucer |
| at eleven oclock at night. In the lower part of the dome she could |
| see figures moving about, like people "walking in front of a light." |
| The experience made her feel nauseous, and at the same time she had a |
| definite feeling of being watched. (Sources: Otto Binder, What We |
| Really Know About Flying Saucers, p. 19; Project Blue Book cases |
| counted in official statistics, case no. 3893; Thomas M. Olsen, The |
| Reference for Outstanding UFO Sighting Reports, p. 71). |
| |
| 1957 - In 1957 in Bryson City, North Carolina a 20-meter-long cigar-shaped |
| object flew slowly to the east, then circled the valley at around |
| nine oclock in the evening. It had a very distinct outline. (Source: |
| Loren E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A |
| History, 1957: December, p. 63). |
| |
| 1957 - At 6:30 p.m. Mrs. Mendonca and five other persons in Ponta |
| Poran, Brazil saw a light in the southern sky, which later appeared |
| as two spherical objects coming closer to them on an oscillating |
| course. One of the UFOs hovered close to their car while the other |
| circled. They were shaped like a sphere surrounded by a flat ring, |
| and chased the car for two hours over the deserted road. The |
| estimated diameter of each was five meters. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 452). |
| |
| 1961 At 4:35 p.m. two cloud cigars maneuvered within sight of an |
| airliner and then paced the DC-4 aircraft near Aso-san, Japan. One of |
| the objects emitted a ball of light. The pilot, Mr. Matsumura, took |
| photographs. That night at 9:45 local time in Lafayette, Indiana a |
| 2.5 meter diameter disc dove at a car being driven by a |
| twenty-year-old man named Hislope and then flew away. (Sources: |
| Yusuke J. Matsumura, Flying Saucers, October 1965, p. 29; Coral E. |
| Lorenzen, Flying Saucers: The Startling Evidence of the Invasion from |
| Outer Space, p. 213; Indiana Journal, December 28, 1961). |
| |
| 1962 Color motion pictures were taken of a UFO near Angel Falls, |
| Venezuela—the worlds tallest water fall—on a cloudy afternoon at |
| 12:15 p.m. (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator, February 1963, p. 5). |
| |
| 1964 A gunsmith had a close encounter with a beehive-shaped UFO in |
| rural Fisherville, Virginia. At five oclock in the afternoon Mr. |
| Burns was driving east on highway Route 250 east of Staunton when a |
| 125-foot wide, beehive-shaped UFO slowly crossed the roadway ahead of |
| him, causing his car to stall. As the metallic looking UFO descended |
| it narrowly missed hitting some power lines. There was a bluish glow |
| from the bottom. As it left, it rose to about 200 feet in altitude, |
| tilted slightly, then disappeared quickly into the northeast. The car |
| could then be restarted. Geiger counter tests showed abnormally high |
| radioactivity in the area. (Sources: Donald B. Hanlon, Flying Saucer |

| 1964 Fisherville, Virginia UFO Close Encounter |

| |
| 1967 A ship enroute from Auckland, New Zealand to Guam was sailing |
| past the Loyalty Islands at 11:33 a.m. when crewmembers sighted a |
| beam of light like a powerful searchlight extending vertically upward |
| from some clouds on the horizon. The beam extension was 35 degrees of |
| arc in length. The beam seemed to emanate from a small cloud a few |
| degrees above the horizon. (Source: William R. Corliss: Remarkable |
| Luminous Phenomena in Nature, p. 283). |
| |
| 1971 At around 11 p.m. a disc-shaped UFO along the roadside of |
| Highway 116 in Mossoro, Brazil in the state of Rio Grande do Norte |
| shot sparks from a tube for ten minutes. It then ascended into the |
| sky and flew off toward the ocean. (Source: Gordon Creighton, FSR |
| Case Histories, August 1972, p. 13). |
| |
| 1977 A green glow was first seen by a married couple in Fort |
| Mitchell, Kentucky at shortly after one oclock at night. This was |
| followed by the sighting of a 12-foot-long ovoid UFO moving at a low |
| altitude, at an estimated distance of only 75 feet. The UFO ascended |
| slowly, then show away fast into the nearby woods. That same night |
| there were several reports of mystery booms being heard in |
| Burlington, Atlantic, and Bergen Counties in New Jersey. (Sources: |
| Leonard Stringfield, MUFON UFO Journal, January 1978, p. 9; Francis |
| Ridge, Regional Encounters, p. 63; George Eberhart, A |
| Geo-Bibliography of Anomalies, pp. 808, 811, and 820, citing the US |
| Naval Research Laboratory). |
| |
| 1978 - In 1978 there were a series of UFO reports from throughout Argentina. |
| At shortly after two oclock in the morning several witnesses in |
| Resistencia, Argentina saw 6-7 objects moving in formation through |
| the sky at great speed. The UFOs were radiating a bright, light blue |
| light but made no sound. Power outages were reported throughout the |
| city. At 2:45 a.m. a very large glowing disc-shaped UFO headed a |
| formation of three other craft that flew from north to south at an |
| estimated 1000 meters altitude in La Rioja, Argentina. They |
| reportedly lit up the sky like day. Each object was white in color |
| with a green halo, and they left behind a bluish trail. A truck |
| driver said his trucks radio stopped working at the time. Ten |
| minutes later a giant light was observed in the western sky in Santa |
| Fe, Argentina. It was blue and green in color, and spewed fiery |
| particles, resembling “an airplane on fire.” Smaller objects |
| surrounded it. (Sources: Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, March |
| 1979, pp. 14-15, citing La Razon, December 22, 1978 and El |
| Independencie, December 22, 1978). |
| |
| 1981 - In the evening on this day in 1981 a Turkish Army captain and several |
| townspeople watched a silent glittering ovoid object illuminate a |
| large engine factory complex with a bright green colored light in |
| Aksaray, Turkey. It flew at an estimated 800 to 1000 feet altitude, |
| and shot away to the southwest. (Source: Sarikaya Haluk Egeman, |
| International UFO Reporter, January 1983, p. 9). |
| |
| 1982 Two UFO car pursuits occurred in the same twenty-four hour |
| period on opposite sides of the globe. At 1:50 p.m. an orange light |
| followed a car down a highway in Maddington, Western Australia. The |
| UFO would hide when the car slowed down, then come back and pace the |
| car when the driver sped up. In Penthereaz, Switzerland at 9:00 p.m. |
| a small glowing sphere followed a car for ten minutes and lit up the |
| vehicles interior. The luminous ball was estimated to be only 12 |
| centimeters in diameter. (Sources: Australian Center for UFO Studies; |
| Bruno Mancusi, SWICAT Swiss UFO catalogue). |
| |
| 1992 - On this night in 1992 a domed, disc-shaped UFO directed a red beam of |
| light into the river in Garland, McDowell County, West Virginia. |
| According to the 15-year-old teenager who witnessed this, when the |
| red beam turned off the high-pitched noise coming from the object |
| stopped. There were also several other discs present in the sky at |
| the same time. (Source: Bob Teets, West Virginia UFOs: Close |
| Encounters in the Mountain State, p. 75, citing investigation by D. |
| Church). |
| |
| 1999 At 6:45 a.m. an ovoid UFO was seen zigzagging in the sky |
| between Toledo and Salkum in Washington State. At 5:00 p.m. another |
| light was seen zigzagging through the sky over Portland, Oregon. At |
| 8:00 oclock in the evening a brightly colored disc was seen hovering |
| and changing colors over Lakewood, Colorado. (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, WA). |
