|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  October 30 |
| |
| 1950 - At 11:00 p.m. in Paignton, Devonshire, England a cigar-shaped |
| object dropped from the sky, then ejected two disc-shaped objects. |
| All three craft flew off to the north. The witnesses were two men |
| named Cove and Clark. The sighting lasted two minutes. (Sources: |
| Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: August-December, p. 47; |
| newspaper clipping dated November 1, 1950). |
| |
| 1954 - Two UFOs were seen by hunters in Muro Lucano, Italy. One |
| touched the ground 50 meters away. It was rhomboid in shape, and a |
| cylinder was hanging from the bottom. A peculiar sound could also be |
| heard. The object shifted its position and the cylinder hit trees, |
| bouncing three times. The craft then gained altitude and flew away, |
| leaving a bluish trail. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: |
| A Century of Landings, p. 240, case 322). |
| |
| 1954 - Twenty eight kilometers north of Tapas, Rio Grande do Sul, |
| Brazil at 11:35 p.m. four lights approached, then surrounded a car |
| until the four witnesses drove away. The UFO changed color from white |
| to blue to violet to orange to red. When the round lights on the |
| object changed color they saw the shape was that of either a dome or |
| sphere. (Source: UNICAT, case # 558 citing Olavo T. Fontes). |
| |
| 1957 - A 19-year-old couple, Moyer and Pulju, were driving ten miles |
| north of Casper, Wyoming at 9:00 p.m. when they encountered 50-foot |
| wide, silvery sphere or disc just over the road that caused |
| electromagnetic effects on their car. (Sources: Casper (WY) |
| Tribune-Herald, November 5, 1957; Alexander D. Mebane, "1957 Saucer |
| Wave in the US," in Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line |
| Mystery, p. 237; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle |
| Interference, p. 8). |
| |
| 1959 - A domed disc hovered over a queue of shoppers in the city of |
| Aubagne, Bouches-Rhone, France at 6 p.m. Twenty |
| human-looking occupants were visible inside the transparent dome, |
| and appeared to be laughing at them. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| issue 125). |
| |
| 1966 - Two couples driving on Route 38 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey at |
| 2:30 a.m. saw a carrot-shaped object 400 feet long, hovering 50 feet |
| over the roof of the RCA industrial plant, 400 feet away from the |
| highway. It was in a horizontal position, and had huge running lights |
| and windows. A ramp came down from the craft to the plant roof, and |
| they could see figures moving about on the roof. They watched them |
| for 10 minutes before leaving. A truck driver who also saw the object |
| drove his truck into a telephone pole he was so excited. (Sources: |
| APRO Bulletin, May-June 1967, p. 11; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1966-47 (A0741), |
| citing Michael Campione, Richard Heiden, and John Keel). |
| |
| 1967 - At around nine o'clock in the evening a businessman was |
| driving toward Boyup Brook, Australia when his car failed completely |
| and stopped, although he did not recall feeling any deceleration. He |
| found a strong light beam aimed at him from a mushroom-shaped craft, |
| ten meters in diameter. He had no recollection of starting the car |
| again after the departure of the object. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 892, citing FSR, |
| July-August 1968). |
| |
| 1967 - Approaching his home in Melfort, Saskatchewan, Canada at 9:00 |
| p.m. Donald Marshall saw a light beyond it. When he got closer he saw |
| that it was an object with a large rectangular lighted panel that |
| hovered 12 feet off the ground, 200 feet away. The rectangular |
| lighted panel was about 4 feet high and 16 feet long. It appeared to |
| be a large window in the object whose shape was not clearly seen, but |
| was perhaps 50 feet long. A bright spotlight came on, and he saw then |
| three small humanoid figures, the size of ten-year-old children, |
| coming from the machine. They moved very fast, wore green uniforms, |
| and some type of headgear. They disappeared into the darkness, and |
| the craft took off slowly at about 5 mph. It moved at first into a |
| gully, breaking some trees, where it remained for another 3 or 4 |
| minutes. The total time during which Marshall observed the object was |
| 18-19 minutes. Broken trees were found near the site. (Sources: Gene |
| Duplantier, Saucers, Space & Science, Winter 1968, p. 4; Saucer News, |
| December 1968, p. 25; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case # 1967-106 (A0884), citing R. Meizeka, |
| Saskatchewan UFO Bulletin). |
| |
| 1969 - At around 10 a.m. a man and a woman, Clinton and Chapin, saw |
| an egg-shaped flying object with a flat bottom, the size of VW |
| Beetle, in a mountainous area of Redding, California. It was seen as |
| it landed in a steep, wooded canyon. The minimum distance to the |
| object was only 60 feet. It took off fast, causing the trees to sway, |
| and zoomed up into the sky. Ground marks were found at the landing |
| site: there was an 10 foot oval-shaped depression, 1-2 inches deep. |

| Journal, April 1978, p. 6; International UFO Reporter, March 1978, |
| p. 36; UNICAT, case # 181).  |
| |
| 1975 - At about 10:10 p.m. a KC-135 U.S. Air Force tanker returning |
| from a refueling mission, flying at a speed of 200 knots, and an |
| altitude of 2000 feet, sighted at least two nocturnal lights and |
| mystery 'choppers' around and over the Wurtsmith AFB in Oscoda, |
| Michigan, a Strategic Air Command base. The objects breached security |
| areas, and hovered over the nuclear weapons site. Base personnel |
| thought they saw the running lights of a low flying craft they |
| thought was a helicopter, except that it hovered and moved |
| up-and-down erratically near the base perimeter. One white light was |
| pointed downward, and two red lights were visible near the trailing |
| edge. Airman Michael J. Myers, an air policeman on duty near the main |
| gate, saw several unidentified lights near the western edge of the |
| base. The object turned north and appeared to lose altitude. Between |
| 10:15 and 10:25 p.m. base security police at the back gate of |
| Wurtsmith reported to the command post that an unidentified |
| "helicopter" with no lights had come over the back gate and hovered |
| at a low altitude over the weapons storage area. Radar was also |
| tracking low-flying objects intruding into the base, and the incoming |
| KC-135 confirmed seeing two UFOs that sped away each time it |
| attempted to close for identification. The UFOs flew away at 1,200 |
| mph. One shot away to the west, the other went north. (Sources: |
| Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, |
| pp. 89-90; UNICAT, case # 617; Lawrence Fawcett & Barry J. Greenwood, |
| Clear Intent: The Government Cover-up of the UFO Experience, p. 41; |
| International UFO Reporter, April 1978, p. 36). |
| |
| 1976 - A married couple was driving with Maggy Carof and they were |
| just turning onto the D-50 highway in Cernoy-en-Berry, Loiret, France |
| at noon when Ms. Carof saw a short being standing on the edge of the |
| highway, about 200 yards away. It was about the stature of a |
| 12-year-old child. The being was wearing a blue gray cape with a |
| white collar, and a black cap like that of a Pierrot. This figure |
| then disappeared “progressively,” beginning with the right side. An |
| immediate search of the area showed nothing. The witnesss dog, which |
| was in the car, moaned at the moment of the observation, and was sick |
| for the rest of the day. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1976-13 (A1648), |
| citing Maggy Carof). |
| |
| 1976 - A PTA meeting was in progress at a school in El Abrojal, |
| Uruguay at 10 p.m. when a yellow, illuminated rectangular flying |
| object was seen on the ground. There was an immediate failure of the |
| electrical system at the school, which was based on 12V batteries, |
| and a sudden blast of hot air was felt by the several witnesses, |
| including the main witness, Isabel Cardozo de Alvez. At the same time |
| a red sphere of light was seen by a man and a woman, Silva and |
| Camargo, in a residential area of the city. Its close approach caused |
| a loss of consciousness for five minutes. Afterwards, their |
| physiological effects were: sleepiness, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, |
| and eye irritation (photopthalmia). (Source: UNICAT, cases # 514 & |
| 515, citing CIOVI). |
| |
| 1977 - Mrs. Pauline Coombs, her mother, and her four children were |
| driving back to their Ripperston Farm home near Dyfed, Pembrokeshire, |
| Wales at around three o'clock in the afternoon when her mother called |
| their attention to a white disc-like object over their car. It flew |
| in from the direction of the sea. Curious, the women drove in the |
| direction of the shoreline and then crossed two fields to get to the |
| ocean's edge. Several hundred yards offshore is a rock outcrop called |
| Stack Rocks, rising up 80 to 100 feet from the water. They could not |
| see the UFO but they did see two humanoid figures walking about on |
| the rocks. They were dressed in silvery outfits, similar to a |
| frogman's wetsuit. Their heads or helmets were extremely large and |
| rectangular in shape, rounded at the corners, and with no observable |
| features. They appeared to be looking for something. A "door" |
| appeared on the right hand face of the rocks, sliding alternately |
| open and shut like the door of a dumbwaiter. One of the figures |
| entered this doorway and appeared to descend a stairway, disappearing |
| in the darkened interior, and then reappearing once again. The |
| stairway was not visible to the viewers. On his final descent the |
| door closed and disappeared from view. To the left side of the rocks |
| the second figure appeared to "walk" out over the water's surface, |
| finally disappearing behind the left side of the rocks. The display |
| had lasted for 15 minutes. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-54, citing Randall |
| Jones Pugh, BUFORA). |
| |
| 1977 - At around 7:00 p.m. Martha Throne was driving with her husband |
| to Sonora, California when suddenly a cloud of blue smoke engulfed |
| their car. The car stopped and its lights went out. She lost |
| consciousness and then woke up with several humanoids carrying her to |
| a landed oval-shaped craft standing on legs. The Grey humanoids had |
| flat noses, and were wearing coverall type suits. A blanket was put |
| over her head but she was reassured by means of mental telepathy that |
| she would be all right. She was then placed on a table in a shiny |
| room, where she was examined by two humanoids while others nearby |
| attended to other duties. Her watch as well as her husband's stopped |
| just after 7 p.m. and never ran again. (Sources: Sonora Daily Union |
| Democrat, November 22, 1982; John F. Schuessler, UFO Related Human |
| Physiological Effects, p. 77; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1977, case # 484, citing Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions: |
| The Measure of the Mystery). |
| |
| 1978 - At 9:30 p.m. Sebastiana Francelina de Jesus, his older |
| brother, and a younger cousin were traveling by Jeep on their way to |
| a local farm in Carmo Da Cachoeira, Minas Gerais, Brazil when |
| suddenly an unknown force halted the vehicle in its tracks, then |
| pulled it backwards into the mud on the side of the road. All this |
| occurred while a torrential rain was falling. The Jeep was hopelessly |
| mired in the mud. As the three witnesses attempted to dislodge it a |
| very large object emitting an intense rotating light suddenly |
| appeared. The UFO flew over them at very low altitude and then |
| descended to hover a few meters away from the witnesses. The light |
| from the object was so bright that it temporarily blinded the three |
| young people. The older man nearly fainted from fright. |
| |
| Two bright rotating beams of light illuminated the area around them |
| and the interior of the Jeep. They could also hear a steady droning |
| noise coming from the object. After awhile they began to hear what |
| seemed to be human voices coming from the object, but the voices |
| spoke in an unknown language. The terrified witnesses began screaming |
| for help because they began to feel a bizarre effect: all three felt |
| as if they were "floating." They also described the feeling like |
| "they were growing in size." Finally the UFO began to move away, |
| throwing numerous rocks and debris up into the air. As it sped away |
| from view a small spherical orange-yellow light followed the craft. |
| The witnesses then felt their environment return to normal. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, citing Ubirajara |
| Franco Rodrigues). |
| |
| 1981 - In a forested area in Worthing, West Sussex, England a large |
| colored disc-shaped object, half red, half white, with the two colors |
| flashing alternately and transposing positions when flashing, passed |
| over two witnesses in a car at 7:30 p.m. The craft had two exhaust |
| ports emitting sparks; it rose in the air, came toward the car, and |
| left toward the sea. (Source: Joe Graziano, APRO Bulletin, March |
| 1982, p. 7). |
| |
| 1989 - Observing stars with a telescope and binoculars at 9:15 p.m., |
| two witnesses in Fort Walton Beach, Florida saw a group of lights |
| hovering. Insects were silent as the dark object with a "X" of lights |
| on the underside was seen hovering 100 meters away. After about five |
| minutes, the object moved slowly away toward the swamp, going out of |
| sight behind some trees. (Sources: Dan Wright, MUFON UFO Journal, |
| February 1990, p. 17; Donald M. Ware, MUFON Field Investigation case |
| files, case # 891103; Joan Woodward, p. 9). |
| |
| 1990 - A domed object with portholes which directed light beams |
| toward the ground was seen at 9:30 in Mount Airy, North Carolina for |
| three minutes. Animal reaction: dogs howled and rubbed their ears. |
| (Sources: Timothy Good, The UFO Report 1992, p. 135; Paul |
| Ferrughelli, Computer Catalog of UFO Reports, 1988-94, case # 987, |
| citing UFO Newsclipping Service). |
| |
| 1993 -  At 1:00 a.m. a neighbor observed a yellow light hovering in a |
| garden in Noeux les Mines, Pas de Calais, France. It was just 0.6 |
| meters off the ground. A dog barked for 30 minutes during the |
| sighting. Traces of crushed vegetation were found: a first line of 8m |
| x 40 cm, and a second line of 10m, and a circle on the 2 lines. |
| (Source: GEIPAN, case # 156). |
| |
| 1994 - At 12:30 a.m two driving in a car on the shore of Lake Geneva, |
| near La Blecherette, Lausanne, Switzerland observed an array of 23 |
| nocturnal lights that rotated over Lake Geneva. (Source: Lumieres |
| dans la Nuit, issue 328). |
| |
| 1994 - At 1:45 a.m. a couple in a car in the commune of Sélestat, |
| Bas-Rhin department, France observed a luminous disc-shaped object |
| with revolving lights around the rim; it hovered only 5-6 meters |
| above their car. Further on down the road they encountered another |
| object in front of their vehicle: an equilateral triangle-shaped |
| object, 10 meters on a side. (Source: GEIPAN, case # 191). |
| |
| 1994 - A 40-foot long tractor trailer-shaped flying object with |
| lights, at 40-50 feet altitude, was sighted in Paterson, New Jersey |
| at 5:45 p.m. It reportedly chased police helicopters during a drug |
| raid. (Sources: UFO Newsclipping Service, February 1995; Paul |
| Ferrughelli, Computer Catalog of UFO Reports, 1988-94, case # 1935, |
| citing MUFON New Jersey). |
| |
| 1995 - A veterinarian reported a dead cow on the Dugan Ranch north of |
| Monte Vista, Colorado. The tongue had been removed, and the whole |
| left side of the muzzle was missing below eye, and had been cut away. |
| The animal was still warm to the touch, but the wound seemed to be |
| days old. No cause of death was determined. Herd afraid. (Source: |
| Christopher O'Brien, Enter the Valley, p. 312). |
| |
| 1998 - On this evening in Baca Grande, Colorado a woman heard some |
| small objects hitting her house. She looked out a window and saw |
| several four-foot-tall hooded figures running around her yard. Later |
| she also reported seeing something resembling a "hairy pig" running |
| past the house. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
| 1998, case #3137, citing Christopher O'Brien). |
| |
| 1998 - At 11:00 p.m. a foot-long, oval-shaped object entered a |
| woman's home in Alamosa, Colorado through her back door. It slowly |
| headed up the hallway toward her. She described the anomaly as being |
| "milky-looking" with a chrome band. It abruptly vanished. (Source: |
| Christopher O'Brien, Christopher O'Brien case files, case # 573). |
| |
| 2000 - A huge, round, solid blue light, engulfed in haze or fog was |
| seen by a woman driving on Highway 982 in Latrobe, Pennsylvania at |
| 6:27 p.m. It shot off at high speed into the clear sky. (Source: Stan |
| Gordon case files). |
| |
| 2000 - A witness from Pearl, Mississippi reports that at 8:30 p.m. |
| "three of us saw a triangle-shaped  craft fly, hover, and then take |
| off very quickly - all this with no sound." (Source: Peter Davenport, |
| National UFO Reporting Center, October 2000 webpage, report uploaded |
| May 24, 2005). |
| |
| 2004 - In Saskatoon, Saskachewan, Canada at 2:10 p.m. a yellow flying |
| object crossed sky, stopped, changed shape and color, then ascended |
| into outer space. At 8:00 p.m. a blue, cigar-shaped object with rows |
| of lights flew ahead, dashed right and back, and then resumed its |
| flight over Watson Lake, Yukon Territory, Canada. (Source: Geoff |
| Dittman, 2004 Canadian UFO Survey, cases 767 & 768). |
| |
| 2004 - A witness reported sighting a black triangle moving at |
| tremendous speed to the south at 9:44 p.m. while standing on the |
| corner of Poway Road and Gate Lane in Poway, California. The object |
| was in sight for just 2 seconds. It had an equilateral form with |
| seven bright, yellow-white lights. There were no lights on its |
| trailing edge, and it was silent. (Source: George A. Filer & David E. |
