|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  October 4 |
| |
| 1954 - There are 41 UFO and humanoid reports on this date in UFOCAT, |
| including six CE-III reports. One report is from Tel Aviv, Israel and |
| one of the humanoid reports is from Salta, Argentina. The rest are |
| from France, which was at the center of a massive wave of UFO |
| sightings. |
| |
| 1954 - An object was said to have landed in the yard of Mr. Montagne, |
| a railroad employee, in Limoges, France. (Sources: France-Soir, |
| October 7, 1954; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, p. 216). |
| |
| 1954 - Andre Garcia and Andre Darzais were driving a truck between |
| Lagrasse and Villemagne and were near the village of Lezignan, France |
| when they saw a luminous object coming slowly to the ground. It |
| measured about 10 meters in diameter and took off with a burst of |
| light. (Sources: France-Soir, October 7, 1954; Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 217). |
| |
| 1954 - Mr. Garreau, a farmer in Chaleix, France saw an object the |
| size of a carriage land in his field. Two men of normal height |
| emerged through a sliding door. They wore khaki overalls and were of |
| European type. They shook hands with the witness and said some thing |
| like: "Paris? Nord?" (According to another version they spoke |
| indistinct words.) They gave a pat on the back to Mr. Garreau's dog |
| and took off at an amazing speed. (Sources: Liberation, October 7, |
| 1954; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. |
| 217). |
| |
| 1954 - At 8:10 a.m. Mr. Lacambre, a forester, saw a little man or |
| dwarf in a streambed 200 meters from his house in St-Perdoux, Lot, |
| France. The being wore a wide leather belt or girdle, boots, and a |
| tunic. He put water in a bottle, and some pebbles in a belt pouch; he |
| then rose up into air and vanished. The creature had two pear-shaped |
| boxes under his arms that may have assisted his ascent. Footprints |
| were found at the site. (Source: Michel Figuet and Jean-Louis Ruchon, |
| OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des rencontres rapprochees en |
| France, pp. 116-117). |
| |
| 1954 - Several people noticed an object hovering near a hilltop in |
| the evening in Tregon, France. They drove to the site, but it flew |
| away. What seemed to have been the same object was seen at Megrit, 25 |
| km to the southwest, hovering over a farm. It was described as |
| metallic, flat, and emitting light. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying |
| Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 139; Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 217). |
| |
| 1954 - Montceau-les-Mines, France. At 6:30 p.m. about 20 people, |
| among them Remy Gaudicourt of Sanvignes, saw a circular, luminous |
| object rise vertically from the vicinity of the railroad tracks. |
| There were no traces found. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and |
| the Straight Line Mystery, p. 138; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 217; Michel Figuet and Jean-Louis |
| Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des rencontres rapprochees |
| en France, pp. 118). |
| |
| 1954 - Villers-le-Tilleul, France. Ten year old Bertiaux saw an |
| object at 6:40 p.m. "like a tent" with an unknown man nearby. |
| (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| p. 217). |
| |
| 1954 - On a road in Lessard-le-National, France at 7:20 p.m., a |
| silver cigar-shaped object stopped in a vertical position when |
| illuminated by car headlights. Landing traces found nearby. (Source: |
| Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue no. 319). |
| |
| 1954 - At 7:30 p.m. a six-meter in diameter red, round, domed object, |
| hovered 10-12 meters above the ground in Taupignac, France. Four |
| little men, one meter tall (3.3 feet) exited. As the three male |
| witnesses approached they quickly entered the object. The domed disc |
| changed color from blue to orange and then to red, and made no noise |
| as it took off. (Source: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight |
| Line Mystery, p. 159). |
| |
| 1954 - At 10:00 p.m. Mr. Henry Leherisse, age 23, in Megrit, France |
| saw two shadows moving about inside a flat luminous, metallic, |
| three-meters wide object, that hovered 50 meters above his garage. |
| (Source: newspaper clipping, October 7, 1954; Michel Figuet and |
| Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des rencontres |
| rapprochees en France, pp. 122). |
| |
| 1954 - Mrs. Fourneret, a housewife, ran away as an orange, circular |
| object 3 meters in diameter that swung in midair and landed near her |
| farm in Poncey-sur-Lignon, France. When Messrs. Girardot and Vincent |
| arrived with rifles, they found that the earth had been "sucked up" |
| over a quadrilateral area. Francois Bouiller confirmed he had seen a |
| luminous object in flight. Extensive investigation by French Air |
| Force and police. (Sources: Liberation, October 7, 1954; Aime Michel, |
| Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 134; Jacques Vallee, |
| Anatomy of a Phenomenon, p. 71; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: |
| A Century of Landings, p. 217). |
| |
| 1955 - United States Senator Richard Russell, Head of the Senate |
| Armed Services Committee, was on a high-level diplomatic mission to |
| the Soviet Union and was traveling on the trans-Caucasus railway |
| outside of Baku, Azerbaijan on this day in 1955. While on the train |
| at 7:10 p.m. he and his aide saw a disc-shaped UFO slowly ascend to |
| 6000 feet and then shoot to the North. A second disc appeared and |
| maneuvered about the sky. (Source: Michael David Hall, UFOs: A |
| Century of Sightings, p. 240). |
| |
| 1957 - Angel hair residue fell on Ichinoseki, Japan at 11:45 a.m. on |
| this day. (Source: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence (Volume I), p. |
| 101, citing Flying Saucer Review, January 1958). |
| |
| 1960 - Reverend and Mrs. Browning in Cressy, Tasmania observed a |
| cigar-shaped object fly toward the west. Five 30' diameter domed |
| discs joined the larger object, and all flew away rapidly to the east |
| at 6:10 p.m. (Sources: James E. McDonald case investigation files; |
| APRO Bulletin, September-October 1960, p. 4). |
| |
| 1967 - At 11:20 p.m. Atlantic Daylight Time at least one and most |
| likely two separate UFOs dove or crashed into the ocean near Bon |
| Portage Island, in the area of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. |
| There were at least a dozen independent witnesses to the event. |
| Canadian Navy divers searched the area for three days but found |
| nothing. This followed a series of six UFO sightings across Quebec |
| and Nova Scotia beginning at 7:19 p.m., when Air Canada Captain |
| Pierre Guy Charbonneau, flying between Sherbrooke and St. Jean, |
| sighted an orange rectangular object followed by a series of smaller |
| lights, followed by a sizeable explosion near the large object that |
| turned into a big white ball-shaped cloud. The cloud turned red, then |
| violet, and then blue. Two minutes later there was another explosion |
| that turned into a second sphere which was orange in color. Like the |
| first one it too eventually faded to blue. The smaller lights on the |
| "kite tail" broke formation with the rectangular object and began to |
| dance around the spheres like fireflies. (Sources: Yarmouth Light |
| Herald, October 12, 1967; Ivan T. Sanderson, Invisible Residents, pp. |
| 44-45; Don Ledger & Chris Styles, Dark Object: The world's only |
| government documented UFO crash, pp. 9-13; 28-50, 151-162). |
| |
| 1973 - A man was driving on the Simi Freeway in Simi Valley, |
| California during the afternoon when he saw a 30 by 350 foot |
| triangular object in a dust cloud near the road. It was 80-100 feet |
| away and was swaying back and forth 10 feet above the ground. An |
| eight-foot hose dangled from the bottom of the object. A clear bubble |
| three feet in diameter swiveled atop the UFO. As he watched a being |
| crawled around from behind the machine, looked at the witness, and |
| then scrambled out of sight. The humanoid was of normal stature but |
| wore a silvery type of wet suit. The bubble began rotating faster and |
| disappeared inside the object, which emitted a whirring noise. A fog |
| enveloped the craft, which then disappeared. An unidentified woman |
| witness had reported a similar sighting the week before. (Sources: |
| David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher: HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case 1973-28; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The |
| Humanoids). |
| |
| 1979 - Garbage collector Aldo Natoli was on his way to work in Viggiu |
| Varese, Italy at 3:20 a.m. when he spotted two strange figures |
| suspended about 20 cm from the ground, and gesticulating animatedly |
| among themselves without making a sound. Natoli stopped his Vespa |
| motorscooter and continued observing the scene. The figures were thin |
| and human-like, wearing dark blue, loose fitting coveralls. Their |
| eyes were fluorescent and they had black hair. When the witness |
| restarted his scooter, the figures disappeared into the darkness. The |
| scooter then malfunctioned but moments later it started again. He |
| then drove away from the area. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1979, citing C.U.N.). |
| |
| 1979 - In the early evening a seven-year old boy in Handsworth, |
| Sheffield, England watched a seven-foot-tall silvery figure that was |
| apparently drilling a hole in the ground with a tube. The boy watched |
| the figure until it suddenly spotted him. The figure then disappeared |
| in a puff of pink smoke. Four non-human looking footprints were found |
| at the site. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
| 1979, citing Janet & Colin Bord, Modern Mysteries of Britain). |
