|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  February 23 |
| |
| 1952 - Over North Korea. At 11:15 p.m. the navigator of a USAF B-29 |
| sighted a bluish cylindrical UFO, three times longer than it was |
| wide, with a tail. It flew with rapid pulsations, came in high and |
| fast, and made several turns before leveling out under the B-29. The |
| bomber was evading mild anti-aircraft fire at the time, and the UFO |
| seemed to be maneuvering to avoid the flack as well. The sighting |
| lasted an estimated 45 seconds. (Sources: Project Blue Book files |
| counted in official statistics, case 1061; Richard F. Haines, |
| Advanced Aerial Devices Reported During the Korean War, p. 37; Don |
| Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; Dominique Weinstein, |
| Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 15). |
| |
| 1955 - A 30-foot diameter top-shaped object with portholes was seen |
| hovering over a field on the Lord Montbatten estate in Broadlands, |
| near Romsey, Hampshire, England by a cyclist at 8:30 in the morning. |
| A shaft of light came from the center of the silver top. There was a |
| man on a platform on the object, who wore dark colored overalls and a |
| helmet. When a blue flash shot from one of the portholes the witness |
| fell to the ground, paralyzed. The shaft of energy was then |
| retracted, and the UFO rose silently away. When it was gone the |
| witness could move again, but was still dizzy. (Sources: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1955, citing Timothy Good, Above |
| Top Secret; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 4301, citing FSR). |
| |
| 1956 - In the middle of the afternoon, a blue luminous disc-shaped |
| object was watched by an Army Sergeant for 15 minutes in the Bushwick |
| neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. It made a loud rumbling noise, |
| and left behind a white trail of smoke. That evening several French |
| soldiers near Lamoriciere, Algeria watched a huge UFO hover and flash |
| for three hours. It had a ring of portholes. (Sources: (1) Loren E. |
| Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1956: |

| of New York Newsletter, February 1956, p. 6; (2) Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case 4935, citing LDLN Lecteurs). |
| |
| 1967 - At 10:30 a.m. Mrs. Rice and Mrs. Weston were talking on the |
| phone in Linstead, Maryland when they were surprised to hear a very |
| loud noise and saw a low flying object pass over their area. A third |
| person also saw the object and many others heard it. The falling snow |
| was swirling underneath it. The object was mushroom-shaped and it |
| supported a dome on top and also a fin. It was green in color, and |
| left in the direction of the Severn River. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 819, citing |
| Baltimore News, February 25, 1967). |
| |
| 1967 - At 8:00 p.m. MST a luminous orange object paced a car in |
| Boneta, Utah for ten minutes, and then shot straight up on departure. |
| (Sources: Frank B. Salisbury, The Utah UFO Display, p. 39 and |
| Appendix case 41F; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A |
| Thirty-Year Report, p. 329). |
| |
| 1967 - At 9:30 p.m. CST a red oval object hovered first over a truck, |
| then over the witness's car in Marion, Illinois. A glowing halo |
| surrounded the object. It sped away after a few minutes. The city has |
| industries that manufacture explosives and batteries, and has several |
| coal mines. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A |
| Thirty-Year Report, p. 329, citing NICAP). |
| |
| 1968 - Several independent witnesses, including two named Hendrickson |
| and Sinclair, watched a nocturnal UFO engage in zigzag maneuvers over |
| the suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia at 8:30 p.m. There was also |
| a high pitched sound associated with the object. (Source: Michael |
| Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 181). |
| |
| 1969 - On this day two boys claimed they saw an emormous flying |
| object while bathing in a waterfall in the mountains near Edmundo |
| Soares in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. From a vertical door two |
| small men emerged. They had human features and their faces had a |
| greenish tint. Their chests were luminous, and from the waists down |
| they wore ashen-gray trousers. The boys fled down the mountain. They |
| returned later that day with two guards, but there was no longer |
| anything to be found at the site. (Sources: Walter Buhler, FSR Case |
| Histories, June 1971, p. 10; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1969-19 (A1030), citing Walter |
| Buhler). |
| |
| 1975 - At sometime between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. two seven-year-old boys |
| named Kono and Yamahata watched a luminous orange UFO approach Kofu, |
| Japan while making a "ticking" sound. It landed on three ball-shaped |
| legs in a nearby vineyard. The object was a domed disc, five meters |
| in diameter and six feet high. The boys got very close to it, and |
| discovered the surface of the object was silver colored and had |
| strange words embossed on its surface. A ladder extended out of the |
| craft down to the ground, and a humanoid creature slightly over four |
| feet tall disembarked. He wore a silver uniform and carried something |
| that looked like a gun. His skin was dark brown and he had large |
| pointed ears, but his large head had no facial features: no eyes, |
| nose or mouth. It merely had wrinkles on the "face" and three silvery |
| two-inch long "fangs" where the mouth should be. Both boys could see |
| one more smaller humanoid in the cockpit holding a control lever. The |
| being that had emerged reached out and touched one of the boys, |
| patting him twice on the shoulder and uttering words "like a tape |
| recorder running backwards." The boy who had been touched sat down, |
| paralyzed either by the touch or fear, but his companion took him on |
| his back and carried him from the vineyard. They then ran to one of |
| the boy's homes and informed their parents, who could at first see |
| the orange light pulsating in the vineyard. Then it disappeared as |
| they watched. Two concrete posts were found pushed over at the |
| landing site. (Sources: CUFOS files, report dated July 14, 1975; APRO |
| Bulletin, November-December 1976, p. 5; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1975-10 (A1391), citing |
| Hayashi Ichinan andYoshihiko Honda). |

| 1978 - Mr. & Mrs. Morello were sitting in their car in Sesto |
| Fiorentino, Toscana, Italy listening to their car's stereo when they |
| began getting heavy interference on the radio. Mr. Morello got out of |
| the car to investigate and found himself engulfed in a warm, violet |
| cloud of light. He saw four humanoid "shapes" and other lights around |
| him. He got back into his car where he found his wife crying. They |
| had a twenty minute lapse of missing time they couldn't account for. |

| Reports, case A2162, citing Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue #207; Paolo |
| Fiorino, UFO Universe, October/November 1991). |
| |
| 1995 - In the town of Rivas, near Managua, Nicaragua four boys |
| including 6-year-old Royllin Reyes Martinez were watching television |
| around 9:00 p.m. when they heard a noise like an engine and a saw a |
| strong light coming from outside. They all went outdoors and spotted |
| what looked like a helicopter land at the nearby "Gaspar Cracia |
| Laviana Town Sports Center." They all rode their bicycles to the |
| sports center to better see what was going on. As they got near they |
| could all see a very bright craft on the ground. Royllin attempted to |
| approach closer but could not due to the intense heat. Three of the |
| children then briefly saw two short, "robot like creatures" standing |
| next to the object. The beings were "talking with a sound similar to |
| insects" and had what appeared to be antennas and were very strange |
| in appearance. Finally, the craft and beings left, leaving the young |
| witnesses in a state of near shock. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1995, case # 2134, citing Aubrey Lewallen, |
| National UFO News, May-June 1995). |
| |
| 1996 - At ten o'clock in the evening Irasema Margarita Cuevas and |
| others in her household in Nuevo Centro, Abasolo, Tamaulipas, Mexico |
| heard their dogs barking outside and went to investigate. Outside |
| they saw a red-orange dome-shaped craft floating a few feet from the |
| ground, near some nearby trees about 50 meters away. Soon a small |
| humanoid emerged from the craft, about one meter in height. It began |
| floating up and down in peculiar movements. From a belt around its |
| waist a bluish beam of light emerged. The being appeared robotic in |
| nature, somewhat resembling a "Power Ranger." After a few minutes the |
| being re-entered the object, which rose up to join a similar craft. |
| They both then flew towards the nearby swamps. Several witnesses then |
| followed the objects and were able to see a brilliant light emerge |
| from behind some trees and a huge column of gray smoke. Upon seeing |
| this, the head of the household, Guillermo Serna Marquez, told his |
| family to return to the house and went into the woods to investigate |
| alone, on the way there he ran into a farmhand who accompanied him |
| into the woods. They saw a luminous craft fly over the trees in the |
| direction of the swamp, then a two meter tall humanoid appeared, |
| floating above the trees and accompanied by the small robotic entity. |
| They watched the beings float around and then enter the dome shaped |
| object. After awhile they grew tired of watching and went home. The |
| next day a large section of the ground was scorched in three enormous |
| circles. Strange purplish-white, foam-like substance was also found |
| at the site. Numerous other strange incidents were reported in |
| subsequent days: small flying red spheres, more animal mutilations, |
| and a large orange sphere that followed some of the UFO field |
| investigators late one night. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1996, case # 2948, citing Marco A. Reynoso). |
| |
| 2000 - Two cylindrical UFOs circled the Agnano housing development in |
| Naples, Italy during the day, then ascended to a high altitude in a |
| zigzag motion, one faster than the other. (Source: UFO Magazine |
| (USA), June 2000, p. 37). |
| |
| 2001 - On this day a metallic disc made numerous zig-zags, wobbles, |
| and sawtooth maneuvers over a farm in Santena, Piemonte, Italy. It |
| made no sound as it flew. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, |
| case 18159, citing Revista Info UFO, issue #23). |
