| November 23 |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1896 - Several observers in Stockton, California witnessed a fast |
|
||
| moving, bright light in the sky that had exited from a shadowy ovoid |
|
||
| object at 10:10 p.m.; it dips low near buildings in the city. There |
|
||
| were several other reports this evening from Antioch, Chico, Lathrop, |
|
||
| Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose, California. (Sources: Stockton |

|
||
| database, case # 164, citing Loren E. Gross, The UFO Wave of 1896, p. |
|
||
| 13). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1948 - An aerial encounter with a red UFO involving radar and visual |
|
||
| confirmation occurred over Germany on this night at 10:20 p.m. |
|
||
| Two U.S. Air Force Captains flying in a F-80 fighter, and a 1st Lt. |
|
||
| from the 23rd Fighter Squadron on the ground at Furstenfeldbruck AFB |
|
||
| saw the reddish star-like object to the east moving south over Munich |
|
||
| at 200-500 mph, turning slightly southwest and then southeast. |
|
||
| Captain Slater in the F-80 called the Racecard DF Radar Station which |
|
||
| tracked the unidentified target at 27,000 feet and 30 miles to the |
|
||
| south of Munich, climbing to 40,000 feet at 40 miles south of Munich, |
|
||
| then circling around in a high speed ascent. (Sources: Donald E. |

|
||
| p. 237; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 10). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1950 - At 3:20 p.m. a disc-shaped UFO flew from the southwest to the |
|
||
| northeast near Maxwell Air Force Base, then performed a flip over the |
|
||
| city of Montgomery, Alabama. A second disc flew from the southwest to |
|
||
| the northeast, then two more flew from the south to the north at a |
|
||
| high rate of speed. town. There were three witnesses, and the entire |
|
||
| event lasted nine minutes. (Source: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. |
|
||
| 1950: August-December, p. 58). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1953 - The famous Kinross Air Force Base disappearance of an F-89 |
|
||
| fighter plane occurred on this date. An F-89 was scrambled from |
|
||
| Kinross AFB at 6:41 p.m. to pursue a UFO over Lake Michigan and the |
|
||
| Upper Pennisula of Michigan. The radar blips of the UFO and the jet |
|
||
| merged into one near Soo Locks and Keeneenaw Point, Michigan then the |
|
||
| jet disappeared and the UFO flew away. An extensive air search and |
|
||
| rescue found no trace of the missing aircraft, with the two airmen |
|
||
| named Moncla and Wilson. The radio communication between the pilot |
|
||
| and Air Traffic Controllers has never been released. The massive |
|
||
| search and recovery effort went on for an extensive period of time, |
|
||
| and failed to find any wreckage. (Sources: Sault Ste. Marie Evening |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - At around five o'clock in the evening two young shepherds, M. |
|
||
| G. and P. T., age 12, were returning to their flock in Colcerasa, |
|
||
| Macerata, Italy when they noticed that the sheep had moved from were |
|
||
| they had left them and that their sheep dog was barking. M. G. |
|
||
| observed three “dark colored, animal like creatures” moving between |
|
||
| some bushes and a couple of bonfires that the shepherds had lit |
|
||
| earlier. They also saw what looked like a small barrel, 60-70 |
|
||
| centimeters wide by 1.5 meters long. The edges of the object were |
|
||
| flattened. M. G. was unable to view the beings clearly; they stood |
|
||
| approximately 35 cm tall and had rather disproportionately large, |
|
||
| flat-topped heads. They appeared to be dressed in dark shiny suits, |
|
||
| as if made out of plastic. The creatures quickly retreated into the |
|
||
| object, which quickly took off producing a hissing sound. When the |
|
||
| object had reached an altitude of 20 meters it expelled a large |
|
||
| fireball. This exploded just before touching the ground, and a strong |
|
||
| gust of wind struck both boys. The object sported something like |
|
||
| “antennae” situated on its forward section, which vibrated when the |
|
||
| object lifted off. The craft zipped rapidly in an easterly direction |
|
||
| and disappeared from view to the left of Mount La Cesa. Both boys |
|
||
| ran home to relate what they had just seen. (Source: Albert S. |
|
||
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1954, case # 1602, citing Maurizio |
|
||
| Verga, ITACAT). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - On this afternoon three 10-year-old girls returning from |
|
||
| school in Torpo, Norway--Anne & Tora Storedal and Tora Moy |
|
||
| Hauge--found themselves being followed by a flying saucer. It came |
|
||
| down to hover only 3 or 4 feet away from them. It was round, about 10 |
|
||
| feet in diameter, and the bottom was black, trimmed with yellow spots |
|
||
| which could have been lights, with a number of small, "red jags." The |
|
||
| upper part was a transparent dome, and a man who was operating |
|
||
| controls was visible inside. He wore black trousers, a black jacket, |
|
||
| and immense red goggles over his eyes. He stared at one of the girls. |
|
||
| When the craft rose it collided with a high-tension power line with a |
|
||
| shower of sparks, and the girls ran away. They noticed a smell "like |
|
||
| fried sausages." A "streak" was found in the snow, apparently left by |
|
||
| the craft having brushed the surface of the snow covered ground. |

| Reports, case 1954-132 (A0345), citing Oddvar J. Larsen, CSI-New |
|
||
| York). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1957 - In the desert 30 miles west of Tonopah, Nevada Joseph Long's |
|
||
| car engine died at 6:10 a.m. He then heard a high-pitched whining |
|
||
| sound and saw to his right four large, metallic Saturn-shaped craft |
|
||
| resting on the ground 400 meters away. The objects were 50 feet in |
|
||
| diameter, with a dome in the center and a rotating ring on the edge. |
|
||
| He walked up to within 50 feet of the objects during the next 20 |
|
||
| minutes, when the four objects slowly rose up and left the area, at |
|
||
| which time he returned to his vehicle and the car engine could be |
|
||
| restarted. The humming sound increased in pitch when the objects took |
|
||
| off. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |

|
||
| 1958 - At 11:35 p.m. Julio M. Ladaleto, an engineer, stopped when his |
|
||
| car hit a can rolling on the road in Cojutepeque, El Salvador. He |
|
||
| then observed an object about 35 meters away. It was shaped like a |
|
||
| lamp shade with an upper transparent sphere emitting a bluish, |
|
||
| pulsating light, 12 meters diameter, seven meters high, and resting |
|
||
| on three half-spheres. An very tall occupant, 2.5 meters in height, |
|
||
| was photographed by the witness as the crossed the road and appeared |
|
||
| to inspect the craft. The UFOnaut wore a blue coverall and |
|
||
| luminescent heelless boots, and had a bald head. The observation |
|
||
| lasted 10 minutes, after which the object took off with a whining |
|
||
| sound, sparks and smoke. The following day, before he had revealed |
|
||
| anything about the case, Ladeleto was contacted by strange "newsmen" |
|
||
| who appeared to know all the details of it. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, |
|
||

|
||
| Lorenzen, Encounters with UFO Occupants, p. 151). |

|
||
| flashlight a second time it moved closer. (Source: Michael Hervey, |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - Two UFOs with lights blinded a man while he was driving his |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1969 - For 15 minutes beginning at 12:30 a.m. four witnesses watched |
|
||
| and viewed through a telescope a glowing ovoid object over Kauri |
|
||
| Mountain, New Zealand that moved up-and-down, side-to-side, and |
|
||
| hovered. It departed by shooting straight up. (Source: FSR, March |

||
| |
|
||
| 1975 - A one-meter in diameter disc was spotted just over the |
|
||
| highway D786 in Treguier, France. It followed a car west, but turned |

||
| couple in Chicago, Illinois at 4:50 p.m. on a clear evening. It |
|
||
| hovered motionless for a few seconds, dropped down, hovered again, |
|
||
| then moved to the east, hovered a third time, and finally moved |
|
||
| rapidly off to the northwest. It made no sound and the witnesses were |
|
||
| confident it was not a plane or helicopter. (Source: Fred Merritt, |
|
||
| on-site case field investigation). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1976 - A lounge owner and a bartender watched a large domed object as |
|
||
| it hovered over trees in Kenner, Louisiana on a clear night, flashing |
|
||
| red, green, and white lights. The dome was three times the size of a |
|
||
| helicopter, and it passed over their car at 3:30 a.m. It hovered for |
|
||
| two minutes over the trees, then moved slowly toward Moisant Airport |
|
||
| in the east. (Sources: International UFO Reporter, January 1977, |

|
||
| dull metallic "airship" when his plane was at 60 meters altitude, and |
|
||
| the UFO was at only 30 meters, 3000 meters away. It was small, |
|

|
||
| 1978 - In the early evening a silver triangular object with two |
|
||
| yellow lights paced a "Tristar" airliner from Heathrow Airport, Kent, |

| encounter, and was tracked on radar. There were several independent |
|
||
| witnesses. At 7:15 p.m. a man in Whitstable, Kent, England making |
|
||
| weather observations at his home saw a silver, plate-shaped UFO, |
|
||
| within a block of light gray vapor. The UFO was glistening silver, |
|
||
| and emerged from the front of the mist. It showed great acceleration, |
|
||
| and left a vapor trail. (Sources: (1) D. N. Mansell, Awareness, April |

|
||
| large head, which was covered by a black helmet, wide shoulders, and |
|
||
| very long arms. At eye level there was a rectangular opening in the |
|
||
| helmet, and they could see two large almond-shaped eyes. Around his |

|
||
| some woods at a nearby farm. Later, after driving another group of |
|
||
| passengers from the pub, he came up a hill and saw a tall figure |
|
||
| emerging from a gate in a field on his right hand side. The figure |
|
||
| wore a silver suit with some kind of helmet on his head. It was |
|
||
| carrying what appeared to be a "white sheet" in front of him that he |
|
||
| was not holding, but seemed to be stuck to his hands. Both David and |
|
||
| his two passengers were extremely frightened and did not stop, |
|
||
| driving quickly away from the area. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
