|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  February 12 |
| |
| 1944 - The test launch of a Nazi rocket from Kummerdorf Airfield in |
| Bremen, Germany with both of the top Nazi leaders Goebbels and |
| Himmler present, occurred at 1:00 p.m. on this day. The tracking film |
| showed an unidentified sphere that circled and followed the rocket. |
| (Sources: Claude Poher, Etudes Statistiques Portant sur 1000 |
| Temoignag, case 419; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 498). |
| |
| 1952 - The pilot and co-pilot of a MATS C-47 transport plane flying |
| between Friendship Airfield and Baltimore, Maryland sighted a bright |
| white UFO at 10:30 p.m. The object moved slowly at first, then |
| accelerated away. The sighting lasted two minutes. (Sources: Project |
| Blue Book Report #5, dated March 31, 1952; Dominique Weinstein, |
| Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 15). |
| |
| 1959 - At 6:10 p.m. a white cylindrical object, shaped like a |
| cigarette in appearance, jerked back and forth over a cloud in Miami, |
| Florida. It then vanished suddenly. (Source: Loren E. Gross, The |
| Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1959: |
| January-March, p. 48). |
| |
| 1965 -  A strange looking plane was seen to dive into the sea near |
| Minehead on the North Devon, England coast. Four witnesses saw it |
| from two different points along the coast. A lifeboat, two RAF |
| helicopters, and a Shackleton failed to find anything after a 90 |
| minute search, and no planes were reported missing. The "ghost plane" |
| may have been seen inland before it reached the sea, for a strange |
| low-flying plane was reportedly seen over Swainswick, near Bath in |
| Somerset, England. The ash-grey "plane" was flying about 100 feet |
| above the road in a west-southwestly direction. It had a misty |
| appearance, despite the fact that there was no fog or mist at the |
| time. It came from behind some trees, and then literally just |
| disappeared. "The strange part was that it made no sound and did not |
| appear to have an engine, but it was certainly not a glider." |
| (Sources: Janet Gregory, FSR, September-October 1971, pp. 29-30; Ivan |
| T. Sanderson, Invisible Residents, p. 43). |
| |
| 1967 - The witness, a civilian named Atkinson, first heard a |
| "chirping"noise at between 3:30-3:40 a.m., then saw four glowing |
| oval-shaped objects in the sky over Grand Rapids, Michigan. Three |
| were in a line formation while the fourth was off to one side. The |
| UFOs went behind some buildings. The case is listed as a Project Blue |
| "unknown." (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case # 11355; Condon Colorado UFO Study, case N1030, |
| citing NICAP; Don Berliner, Australasian Ufologist, April 1999, p. |
| 54). |
| |
| 1967 - At 6:00 p.m. a silent, white glowing object hovered just over |
| Highway 15 in Kensington, Connecticut. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, |
| UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 344). |
| |
| 1967 - At 9:45 p.m. a domed disc with rotating colored lights was |
| sighted from an apartment building in Wharton, Texas. The disc |
| skimmed over the treetops and performed other maneuvers. The sighting |
| lasted 10 minutes. (Sources: NICAP case files; Condon Colorado UFO |
| Study, case N1022, citing NICAP; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, |
| Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, pp. 9, 152). |
| |
| 1968 - On this night a large round object was seen close to the |
| ground in Farm Creek, Utah in Uintah County by a woman named |
| Christiansen. It changed color from green to red, performed a number |
| of maneuvers, and left rapidly. (Source: Frank B. Salisbury, The Utah |
| UFO Display, Appendix case 61). |
| |
| 1969 - At 5:40 a.m. in Pirassununga, Sao Paolo state, Brazil Luis |
| Flozinho De Oliveira, a farm worker, was on his way to work when he |
| was approached and attacked by two strange looking aggressive tan |
| skinned beings. The men were 1.5 meters (4.95 feet) tall and had |
| beards, long hair, and asymmetrical eyes. Both humanoids wore white |
| unbuttoned shirts and long beige colored pants with what appeared to |
| be colorful inscriptions and drawings on them. They also wore dark |
| shiny medallions around their necks. At first stunned, Luis fought |
| back effectively, knocking them both to the ground, one on top of the |
| other. The two humanoids got up and exchanged some words between |
| themselves in a strange language. They then told Luis in perfect |
| Portuguese that they were leaving since he was much stronger than |
| they, and they both fled into the thick underbrush. Luis's dog |
| “rolled up into a ball on the ground for protection” during the |
| attack upon its master. The dog refused to eat anything after the |
| encounter, and died a month later, its body found bloated up. The dog |
| had never been willing to return to the place of the encounter. |
