|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  March 5 |
| |
| 1946 - Sr. Joao Prestes Filho, age 40, had anticipated an uneventful |
| day of fishing in Aracariguama, Sao Paulo State, Brazil but he |
| returned home at 7:30 p.m., terrified by his encounter with a beam of |
| light that came from the sky and struck him without warning nor any |
| noise. He went into his house saying that he had been hit by a silent |
| beam of light, which stunned him and knocked him to the ground. A |
| little while later his flesh looked like it had been cooked, as if it |
| had been exposed to intense microwave energy, and started a rapid |
| deterioration. He died from the effects.  (Sources: Felipe Machado |
| Carrion, FSR, March-April 1973, p. 14; Jacques Vallee, |
| Confrontations: A Scientist's Search for Alien Contact, p. 124). |
| |
| 1950 - At 1:30 a.m an ex-Air Force officer driving on Highway 80 in |
| Saltsburg, Pennsylvania said he watched a turtle shell-shaped disc |
| hovering at low altitude. The 15 meter wide object kept away from him |
| when the witness attempted to approach it. At 7:00 a.m. on this same |
| date twenty witnesses watched a 25 foot wide, extremely bright UFO |
| maneuver in the sky over Gering, Nebraska. It appeared to change |
| shape as it flew off toward the southeast. In the afternoon a |
| metallic flying disc trailing some kind of ribbon hovered, darted |
| about, and jumped into some clouds over Houston, Texas. It left |
| flying toward the east. That night in Bloomfield, New Mexico a dark, |
| five-foot diameter disc paced a car. When the driver stopped the car |
| the object circled the car, then sped away at a high speed. (Sources: |
| newspaper clippings, March 10, 1950 and March 27, 1950; Loren Gross, |
| UFOs: A History, 1950: January-March, pp. 11, 31-32). |
| |
| 1953 - Two separate UFO radar-visual events occurred at two |
| locations, in northeast Georgia and across the river in South |
| Carolina. An object maneuvered in the sky at 5:07 p.m., then circled |
| Congareee AFB in Sumter County, South Carolina, flying into a |
| prohibited area. An earlier radar-visual sighting of a disc-shaped |
| object was made at the Savannah River (Nuclear) Project. at 3:45 p.m. |
| The sighting lasted for two hours and seven minutes, and RF-80 |
| fighter jets and Air National Guard F-51's were scrambled to |
| intercept. The U.S. Air Force attempted to explain the sightings as a |
| weather balloon. (Sources: Project Blue Book Report #11, report dated |
| May 31, 1953; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1953: March-July, p. |
| 3). |
| |
| 1957 - On this morning at 8:13 a.m. a fighter pilot flying over |
| Rouen, France photographed a hat-shaped saucer identical in |
| appearance to the McMinnville, Oregon photograph taken by Paul Trent |
| in 1950. (Sources: Life Magazine, April 1, 1966; Frank Edwards, |
| Flying Saucers: Here and Now, pp. 46 & 80; Brinsley LePoer Trench, |
| The Flying Saucer Story, p. P-7).  |
| |
| 1965 - On this afternoon two radar technicians were repairing the |
| height finder radar antenna located northeast of Benton Air Force |
| Base near Red Rock, Pennsylvania when a small metallic looking |
| saucer-shaped object landed near them. A beam of light came out of |
| the object and struck both technicians, and that was the last they |
| could remember of the incident. They failed to report to their |
| command post, and a search by both military and civilian police |
| ensued. Sixteen hours later a state trooper found the two men walking |
| on Route 487 in a dazed state. They were taken to a local hospital |
| and found to be dehydrated. Later, trace amounts of alpha radiation |
| were found on their clothing, and unexplained marks were discovered |
| on their necks. One of the men had a brief recollection of |
| encountering strange short creatures, who poked instruments into his |
| eyes, ears, and mouth. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer database; |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1965, case # 3376, |
| citing George Filer, Filer's Files, Volume 9, No. 36). |
| |
| 1966 - At 9:00 p.m. a 20 meter in diameter bowl-shaped saucer with a |
| hexagonal cabin hovered over a golf course in Melbourne, Victoria, |
| Australia making a humming sound. It shot away extremely fast. |
| (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 7082). |
| |
| 1967 - At 1:25 a.m. in Lovasen, Vilhelmina, Sweden two discs, one 30 |
| meters in diameter and the other 15 meters in diameter, hovered at 20 |
| meters altitude near an electric plant. They flew to the |
| north, slowly at first and then extremely fast, lighting up the |
| surrounding forest. (Source: Axe Jonsson, FSR, March-April 1968, |
| p. 12).  |
| |
| 1967 - Four members of the Carter family were driving together |
| between Pierre and Midland, South Dakota on this night when they were |
| approached at telephone pole height by a V-shaped object with a |
| bright light. It made a humming sound as it passed low over the car |
| and it illuminated the ground with a bright light, and the occupants |
| felt a numbness. It thensped away erratically. (Sources: Rapid City |
| Journal, March 7, 1967; APRO Bulletin, March-April 1967, p. 11; |
| Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence: Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, |
| p. 267 & 331). |
| |
| 1967 - At 11:00 p.m. U.S. Air Force security personnel watched as a |
| disc-shaped object descended and hovered over a missile site near |
| Minot AFB, North Dakota. Reported by the guards, other airmen in |
| trucks chased it. It shot up vertically when jets were scrambled. |
| There was radar confirmation of the presence of the object. (Sources: |
| Donald E. Keyhoe, Aliens from Space...The Real Story of Unidentified |
| Flying Objects, p. 10; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence: Volume II. |
| A Thirty Year Report, pp. 80, 331, 372). |
| |
| 1971 - Gilbert Camus, a radio technician, was driving to his shop in |
| Savigny, Jura department, France at 1:10 a.m. He was between Trenal |
| and Condamine when he noticed lights ahead on the right side of the |
| road. As he approached, he saw that these were on a line of eight |
| bluish luminescent rectangles on the ground in a marshy meadow beside |
| the road. Above them he could distinguish, in the moonlight, a |
| flattened hemispherical dome, apparently of dark metal, about 25 feet |
| high and 50 feet wide. |
| |
| When he got closer to the object he saw three "animals" on all fours |
| climbing up the road bank. Their heads were level with his windshield |
| so they "must have been of great stature." Their heads were shaped |
| like an ant's with "a rounded lobe flanked by two other lobes |
| swelling out like cheeks." He saw no faces. In the meadow he could |
| see about 20 more of these beings, some upright and others on all |
| fours. His car had just passed them when it filled with a bluish |
| white light from behind, as if a "ray" had been projected at him. He |
| lost control of the car, which spontaneously slowed down to about 12 |
| mph, then recovered its initial speed when he reached the outskirts |
| of Condamine. Later, when he took off his clothes he found on his |
| shirt, below the belt line, several golden yellow rectangles about 1" |
| by 2". These disappeared after a few minutes. Three days later |
| similar chocolate brown rectangular marks appeared on his undershirt, |
| and these persisted through 3 or 4 washings. |
| |
| The paint began to come off his car when he washed it. Most |
| surprisingly, he found himself cured of a liver ailment, which until |
| then had been giving him excruciating headaches. A semi-elliptical |
| imprint was found in the meadow the next day about an inch deep, with |
| a long axis of about 36 feet. Inside the circle dandelions, abundant |
| elsewhere in the meadow were absent, and where it crossed a drainage |
| ditch the ice in the ditch had melted, and the water still seemed |
| warm. At the edge of the woods beside the ground marks a large tree |
| branch was freshly broken off. In the snow were footprints like those |
| of "shoes without heels", some as big as 16" long. (Source: David F. |
| Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1971-39, citing M. Tyrode and Fernand Legarde). |
| |
| 1976 - At dusk Mrs. T.  went to her back doorstep in Cheshire, |
| Connecticut to call in the children. When she looked up she saw an |
| object moving slowly at treetop level “a few thousand feet away.” Her |
| husband came out and saw it, two. It had a translucent dome on top |
| and gold lights around its periphery. Above the dome was a deep red |
| flashing light, and there were holes in the bottom out of which a |
| blue light shone. Mr. T. estimated its size as 80 feet in diameter. |
| It descended among some trees in a wetlands area near their home. |
| They watched it for two hours, until 9:30 p.m. The man and his two |
| sons then got in their van and drove to a point closer to the object. |
| They noticed an unnatural silence, but could not get a good view. |
| When they returned home Mrs. T. was missing. After searching the |
| house, they returned to the living room when she suddenly showed up. |
| Her speech was slow and slurred, and she claimed that she had been in |
| the bedroom. At 11:30 p.m. the couple went to bed, but they woke up |
| at 12:45 a.m., finding that they had somehow exchanged positions in |
| bed. Both felt nauseous, and the back door of their house was found |
| to be open. The next day an investigator visited them and discovered |
| three wedge-shaped holes in the ground and broken tree branches where |
| the UFO had evidently landed near the house. A few days later the |
| couple vaguely remembered being taken onboard the craft during the |
| hour before they woke up. The husband clearly recalled “being in a |
| galley area where they were eating. An extraterrestrial was sitting |
| there with his head on his hand looking up at me as if saying, “What |
| are you doing here?” This being had wrinkled whitish gray skin, high |
| cheekbones, a high forehead, and eyes that were three or four times |
| bigger than human eyes; he was also bald. He was looking at the man |
| with an expression of “disdain.” Under hypnosis the wife remembered |
| much more. One kind of alien was about four feet tall, a second |
| group, “the doers”, were about 5.5 feet tall; and a third type with |
| huge eyes and pupils like that of a cat, was 6.6 feet tall. The |
| couple said the beings communicated with them by telepathy, and that |
| they believe that “their minds have been probed by extraterrestrials |
| since the March incident.” (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1976-88 (A1805), |
| citing James Harder, James Barrett & Dick Nycz for CUFOS). |
| |
| 1976 - Miss Rasmussen, a 23-year-old woman in Redmond, Oregon first |
| saw an object high in the sky at 9:25 p.m., which then dropped down |
| to an altitude of only 75 feet. The object was disc-shaped, about 26 |
| feet in diameter, and had red and white lights revolving around its |
| exterior. Two light beams were directed from the object to the |
| ground. The radio in her car went dead when the object came near, and |
| although the woman kept driving, the radio did not work again until |
| two miles down the road. The object did not follow the car. (Sources: |
| CUFOS News Bulletin, June 1976, p. 5; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports |
| Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 68, case 395, citing CUFOS). |
| |
| 1977 - At 11:00 p.m. Lonnie Stites and his wife, Deborah, were |
| driving their pickup truck around a bend in the road in McNatt, |
| Missouri when "the whole area lit up like a football field light was |
| turned on, and a very bright light was shined on our windshield." He |
| saw a man of normal height or slightly smaller stature standing |
| alongside the road. He was human looking, but dressed in green |
| coveralls with square glasses and a tight green cap over his ears. He |
| was "waving us down." Up on the hill was another figure carrying what |
| appeared to be "a ball of electricity about the size of a |
| basketball." The second figure was walking away from an object that |
| looked like a water tank, about 10 feet across and 10 to 15 feet |
| tall, with red lights going around it. The UFO was about 50-60 feet |
| from them. Mrs Stites said that she saw two people on the hillside |
| carrying "basketball sized lights," and that the UFO at one point |
| flew over the truck. They turned the truck around and drove away in |
| great fear. (Sources: St Louis (MO) Post-Dispatch, May 1, 1977; David |
| F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1977-11, citing Monte Blue Skelton & Bob Pratt). |
| |
| 1992 - A military policeman, Luis Ribeiro de Oliveira and his friend |
| Pedro Rodrigues da Silva, had gone hunting for wild ducks in an |
| isolated area in the Rio Palhano area, Ceara State, Brazil. At 6:30 |
| p.m. both men observed what appeared to be a "star" descending at |
| high speed. Suddenly a bright light enveloped both men and Pedro ran |
| and hid behind some nearby bushes, while Luis ran towards town with |
| the light chasing close behind him. Luis could see that the light now |
| resembled a luminous, wheel-shaped object the size of a bus. Soon he |
| felt he was being sucked up into the object, while his friend Pedro |
| watched in terror as he saw Luis being taken up into the light. Pedro |
| saw Luis enter the round light and then it suddenly vanished in plain |
| view. Terrified but determined to help, Pedro armed himself with a |
| shotgun and searched the area. However, was unable to find Luis |
| anywhere in the area, so he ran to town and entered the local bar, |
| telling everyone what had just happened.  |
| |
| Five hours later Luis appeared in town and told Pedro what had |
| happened to him after he disappeared. He remembered running and his |
| legs suddenly becoming numb. He then recovered consciousness, hearing |
| strange foreign sounding voices, and when he looked up he saw five |
| strange humanoid beings standing in front of him. Frightened, he |
| asked them in Portuguese what was going on, and he received the |
| following answer: "Don't be afraid, we won't harm you, we are |
| Catadorians from Catandorius Decnius. Our civilization originated |
| from another higher civilization that lived on the earth 353,000 |
| years ago." They pointed to a small pyramid shaped object and told |
| Luis that it was a model of their "temple." The aliens told Luis that |
| they were here on Earth looking for remnants and descendants of that |
| lost civilization that they claimed lived in underground caves and |
| tunnels worldwide. Luis was then placed inside a gas-filled sphere in |
| the middle of the room. In front of him was a panel with multicolored |
| lights, and he heard what sounded like radio transmissions. The five |
| beings stood around him, standing about 1.5 meters (4½ feet) tall, |
| and spoke in a strange language. Nevertheless, their leader could |
| communicate with the witness telepathically in perfect Portuguese. |
| Soon the leader left to speak with the other aliens, and Luis lost |
| consciousness again. When he woke up he found himself in the same |
| place that the UFO had originally picked him up from. Feeling a |
| little dizzy, he searched for Pedro and found his shotgun, and then |
| walked back to town. Luis described the humanoids as short with gray |
| skin, black eyes lacking any pupils or eyelashes, large heads, wide |
| shoulders, and they wore tight fitting clothing with boots and |
| gloves. Their heads and bodies were completely hairless. Their speech |
| was measured and their breathing was heavy and labored. Every time |
| their leader spoke to the others Luis felt a sharp pain in his head. |
| All the humanoids were identical to each other; he could not tell any |
| difference among them. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer database, |
| case # 15671, citing UBPDV 1992, issue #6, Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1992, case # 2394,citing UBPDV 1992). |
| |
| 1994 - A radio died inside the house of the witness at 10:50 p.m. in |
| Martigues, Bouches-Rhone department, France when a delta-shaped |
| object oscillated in the sky outside. The object flew on a |
| westerly trajectory. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 324). |
| |
| 1997 - At eight o'clock in the morning a two-meter long vertical |
| cylinder was spotted landed in a field in San Martino d'Spino, |
| Lombardia, Italy. The craft measured one meter in diameter, had three |
| legs and two portholes. It took off to the west when approached. |
| (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 17886, citing |
| Revista Info UFO, Italy). |
| |
| 2004 - Some famous UFO photographs were taken on this day near Mexico |
| City, Mexico. A Mexican military surveillance aircraft captured |
| multiple objects (11) with its infra-red sensors.  The objects were |
| not visible to the flight crew at the time.  There was extensive |
| publicity about this event in May 2004. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case # 18196; Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center website). |
| |
| 2005 - Two football-shaped solid yellow lights passed a car and its |
| driver at close range northeast of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. They |
| buzzed the car only four feet away and just six feet off the ground. |
| No sound  was heard or heat felt during the close encounter. (Source: |
| Geoff Dittman, Canadian UFO Survey 2005, case # 17, citing NUFORC). |
| |
| 2006 - A slow moving, chevron-shaped object with brights lights on |
| the underneath of the wings, made no sounds as it passed over |
| Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at 9:00 p.m. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
| National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, March 2006 webpage, report |
| uploaded May 15, 2006). |
| |
| 2007 - A hovering saucer-shaped object with yellow lights was |
| reported in the sky over Washington, D.C. at 7:00 p.m. It was |
| approached by a bronze-colored object, triangular or flying wing |
| shaped, which hovered nearby. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, Seattle, March 2007 webpage, report uploaded March |
| 8, 2007). |
