|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |

| 1950 - In Point Loma, California on this date in 1950 seven teardrop-shaped |
| flying objects maneuvered near a weather balloon. Several navy |
| personnel, including one using a theodolite to view the object, |
| watched the UFO turn toward the W and fly away out over the Pacific |
| Ocean. (Source: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: |
| August-December, p. 68). |
| |
| 1959 At a few minutes after midnight in Oakdale, California several |
| witnesses sighted a seven-meter wide, bowl-shaped disc. Shadows were |
| seen moving about inside the craft. (Source: APRO Bulletin, |
| January-February 1960). |
| |
| 1975 Three 19-year-old girls driving together in Goodridge, |
| Minnesota noticed a bright light in the sky, and their car's engine |
| and lights failed. The light came closer and they saw it was an |
| orange colored object, flat on top and round on the sides. It also |
| had several flashing yellow lights and appeared to be 20-30 feet in |
| diameter. After passing only 25 feet from the car, it suddenly |
| vanished, whereupon and the car's lights and engine spontaneously |
| came back on by themselves. (Sources: Warren (Minnesota) Sheaf, |
| December 31, 1975; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle |
| Interference, case 391). |
| |
| 1978 Three important UFO sightings occurred on this date. Dr. |
| Palumbo, the director of the meteorological institute at the |
| University of Naples in Naples, Italy saw a luminous object travel |
| from the east to the west at a high rate of speed. It left no trail |
| behind. At ten oclock in the evening a luminous 12-meter diameter |
| disc was sighted over a road in Albinia, Tuscany, Italy. It moved off |
| over some woods, and then turned and flew away toward the north. |
| There was extensive news coverage of both sighting reports. In the |
| state of Maldonado, Uruguay on a beach between the cities of |
| Piriapolis and Funta del Este a reporter, Sr. L. Rengger, saw a giant |
| V-shaped formation of yellow lights. A couple of the lights pursued |
| his car, and one of the two crossed the road in front of his car at |
| an estimated 300 meters altitude at a distance of 500 meters. |

| incident. (Source: Edward Walters, Gulf Breeze Sightings, p. 86). |
| |
| 1989 Two witnesses observed two boomerang-shaped UFOs pass low over |
| the Seneca Nuclear Power Plant in Warren, Pennsylvania. Either the |
| same two objects flew back over the plant from the opposite |
| direction, or two more similar craft flew overhead in reverse |
| direction. (Source: John L. Micklow, MUFON case investigation files, |
| case #900308). |
| |
| 1992 At 8:20 p.m. in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil a glowing |
| craft landed near a thicket on the outskirts of Passa Tempo. Several |
| witnesses watched it then take off and move away to the east at a low |
| altitude. It made no sound as it flew. (Source: UBPDV, Causistica |
| Brasileira de 1992, p. 14). |
| |
| 1994 John, a 45-year-old man residing in the Clyde Canal area of |
| Lothian county in Scotland was watching television when he noticed |
| electrical interference on the TV set. He then noticed a |
| “human-looking alien” standing inside his house. His next memory was |
| aboard a disc-shaped UFO. After the experience he had a set of small |
| red puncture marks on his neck, as if a cluster of needles had been |
| stuck into his skin. (Source: Ron Halliday, UFO Scotland: The Secret |
| History of Scotlands UFO Phenomenon, p. 49). |
| |
| 1998 - At 5:20 p.m. two people at the Grand Canyon in Coconino |
| County, Arizona witnessed a flying object shaped like a stingray |
| approach from the south. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, Seattle, Dec. 1998 webpage). |
| |
| 2000 - At  4:30 p.m. a silver cigar-shaped object was sighted |
| travelling low, and moving at great speed in Zumbrota, Minnesota. It |

| Minnesota. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle, Dec. 2000 webpage, report uploaded January 17, 2004). |
| |
| 2003 - At Gasport, New York at 2:30 a.m. EST a bright light shot |
| across the sky from the horizon up. It made several right angle |
| movements. Next, a silent, boomerang shaped object flew over Borger, |
| Texas at 1:40 a.m. CST. At 4:56 a.m. MST a triangle-shaped object |
| with four different multicolored lights flew across the Denver |
| skyline and was viewed from Superior, Colorado (Boulder County). |

| underneath side flew along the highway, then over cars in Sioux |
| Lookout, Ontario, Canada. There were three witnesses, and the |
| sighting reportedly lasted ten minutes. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2004 |
| Canadian UFO Survey, case # 870, citing HBCCUFO). |
| |
| 2007 - On this evening a dark silent object hovered for awhile over |
| Bridport, England. It shone a light beam down. It was difficult to |
| focus upon because it looked blurry. (Source: British Ministry of |
| Defence, case # 95 for 2007). |
| |
| 2007 - At 1:30 p.m. CST a dark disc-shaped object was spotted among |
| the clouds over Chicago, Illinois. It stay still long enough for the |
| witness to make a three minute long video recording of it. At 6:45 |
| p.m. EST a disc-shaped, blue and white light flew low and fast over |
| Bowie, Maryland. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle, Dec. 2007 webpage, reports uploaded March 4, 2008). |
