| Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
|
||
| |
|
||
| August 22 |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1909 - The night after a similar sighting, a torpedo shaped object |
|
||
| with searchlights was seen again at ten p.m. in Colebrook, Tasmania, |
|
||
| Australia. (Source: Keith Roberts, Australasian Ufologist, January |
|
||
| 2001, p. 43). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1949 - In Alaska, a scientist on Tigvariak Island sighted six |
|
||
| disc-shaped object flying in a circular formation, making a whining |
|
||
| sound. A seventh disc then was seen weaving through the sky. They |
|
||
| went from the northeast to the southwest. (Source: Loren E. Gross, |
|
||
| UFOs: A History. 1949, p. 42). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1953 - On this day a silver cigar-shaped object descended from the |
|
||
| clouds over East Bolton, Quebec, Canada. It stopped near the ground, |
|
||
| making an odd noise, then shot up vertically. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
|
||
| computer database, case # 3116, citing APRO Bulletin, November 1953). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - In East Chicago, Indiana on this day two refinery workers |
|
||
| sighted a crescent-shaped object that darted all over the sky above |
|
||
| the oil refinery were they worked for two minutes. It flew at an |
|
||
| estimated altitude of 2,500 feet and left going south. (Sources: |
|
||
| Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 155). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1955 - Casa Blanca, near Riverside, California. At two o'clock in the |
|
||
| afternoon some children were playing in the garden of Mr. and Mrs. |
|
||
| Douglas when they observed a hovering object that disappeared and |
|
||
| reappeared as a spinning disc with curved lines radiating from it. |
|
||
| Other objects, silvery and semitransparent, soon appeared and were |
|
||
| seen by all of the children. They made musical sounds as they |
|
||
| vanished and reappeared. One of them landed, and a creature the size |
|
||
| of a four-year-old child, transparent and wearing a belt with a |
|
||
| bright disc on it, was seen nearby. Another creature appeared and |
|
||
| spoke to one of the boys. All the children experienced visions of the |
|
||
| object and the creatures, as well as "arms" which appeared to beckon |
|
||
| to them. (Sources: Flying Saucer Review, September-October 1967, p. |
|
||
| 16; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia; A Century of Landings, p. |
|
||
| 251, case 373). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1955 - One of the most famous humanoid reports ever, came to |
|
||
| a conclusion on this date at the Sutton farm in Kelly, near |
|
||
| Hopkinsville, Kentucky. After the police had searched the Sutton farm |
|
||
| and found no creatures, they left and at two a.m. the little “men” |
|
||
| returned, with at least one of them putting its “little clawed hands” |
|
||
| up on the window screen. Again they were fired at with rifles without |
|
||
| apparent effect. The last of the creatures was seen about half an |
|
||
| hour before sunrise. No ground traces of the creatures' presence |
|
||
| could be found anywhere during the search that occurred later that |
|
||
| same day. (Sources: Isabel L. Davis & Ted Bloecher, Close Encounters |
|
||
| at Kelly and Others of 1955; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
|
||
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1955-18). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1956 - From the bedroom a witness in Turlock, California saw an |
|
||
| orange-red ovoid UFO fluttering up behind the garage at 10:50 p.m. It |
|
||
| went away quickly. (Source: APRO Bulletin, September 1956). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1957 - Cecil Naval Air Station, Florida. At 3:40 p.m. a black, |
|
||
| bell-shaped object bearing two bright, white lights at the top and |
|
||
| maeasuring 15 meters in diameter was chased by a civilian named |
|
||
| Sheetz in his car until the car engine stalled. The object then |
|
||
| started hovering just three meters away. The underside of the machine |
|
||
| resembled a disc with fins. When a jet aircraft took off from the |
|
||
| nearby U.S. Navy airfield, the object went out of sight almost |
|
||
| instantaneously. The car battery was found to be completely |
|
||
| dead.There was no helicopter in the area, although the two witnesses |
|
||
| compared the noise made by the object to that of a helicopter. |

|
||
| Experience, p. 239; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle |
|
||
| Interference, p. 7). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1962 - In Kingsford Heights, Indiana at 8:30 p.m. two families |
|
||
| watched a hat-shaped domed disc that made a whirring noise. The seven |
|
||
| witnesses viewed the UFO for almost an hour. (Sources: Orvil R. |
|
||
| Hartle, A Carbon Experiment, p. 167; Francis L. Ridge, Regional |
|
||
| Encounters, p. 11). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1966 - On this night the crew of a USAF F-102 witnessed a silver, |
|
||
| dragon-shaped UFO that hovered over Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany. |
|
||
| (Source: James Moseley, Saucer News, December 1966, p. 32, citing |
|
||
| London Daily Telegraph, August 23, 1966). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1966 - A landing with ground marks occurred shortly after 6:00 p.m. |
|
||
| in Leiters Ford, Fulton County, Indiana and was witnessed by two |
|
||
| families, including the Brockleys. (Source: Flying Saucers, September |
|
||
| 1972, p. 36). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1966 - On this night in Malvern, Arkansas local residents reported |
|
||
| seeing an eight-foot tall creature. The "thing" was humanoid in |
|
||
| shaped, and changed color from red to orange to yellow. A witness |
|
||
| named Mr. Niles reportedly snapped a picture of the "thing" from his |
|
||
| window as it passed by his house. This humanoid encounter occurred |
|
||
| six days after several UFOs had been seen in the area. (Sources: |
|
||
| Malvern (AR) Daily Record, August 23, 1966; John A. Keel, UFOs: |
|
||
| Operation Trojan Horse, p. 145; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
|
||
| Database 1966, case # 2583, citing John Keel). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1968 - At 5:40 p.m. two men, Smith and Gardin, were flying in a Piper |
|
||
| Navajo for Murchison Air 130 miles east of Kalgoorlie, Western |
|
||
| Australia when they spotted a luminous white UFO. It emitted six |
|
||
| smaller cigar-shaped "satellite objects." When the pilot Capt. Gordon |
|
||
| Smith reported their sighting to the Kalgourlie communication centre |
|
||
| their radio stopped working, but it came back after the UFOs gathered |
|
||
| together, and shot off at high speed.(Sources: FSR, March 1979, p. 9; |
|
||
| NICAP UFO Investigator, March 1969, p. 1; Richard F. Haines, Project |
|
||
| Delta, p. 144; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty |
|
||
| Year Report, pp. 13,119). |
|
||
| 1969 - After Mrs. Joyce Vellacca and her husband reported seeing a |
|
||
| multicolored UFO maneuvering over South Akron, Ohio she decided to |
|
||
| lie down on the sofa for a short nap. She had scarcely stretched out |
|
||
| when a big gust of wind swept through a window and blew the curtains |
|
||
| out. Mrs. Vellacca got up to close the window and became frozen in |
|
||
| place, literally unable to move. Furthermore, standing on the other |
|
||
| side of the window was a woman staring back at her. The woman was |
|
||
| well proportioned with beautiful long dark chestnut hair. But the |
|
||
| woman had no discernible features where her face would be. Oddly, |
|
||
| when Mrs. Vellacca recovered from her frozen immobility, the visitor |
|
||
| had vanished. She rushed outside and turned on all the floodlights to |
|
||
| illuminate the area, but could see nothing unusual. Then there came a |
|
||
| high-pitched whine similar to that of a motorcycle, except that when |
|
||
| a motorcycle reaches its highest velocity there is a loud roar, and |
|
||
| none was heard. Instead, the noise gained in shrill frequency until |
|
||
| it was no longer heard. The dogs in the neighborhood were raising a |
|
||
| great rumpus. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
|
||
| 1969, citing Brinsley LePoer Trench, Mysterious Visitors: The UFO |
|
||
| Story). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1972 - On this day or the day before, at 4:30 a.m. Mrs. Doris Muthwa |
|
||
| and her 12-year-old daughter were drawing water from a river in |
|
||
| Roosboom, Natal, South Africa when she looked up and saw what first |
|
||
| looked like a man in a white suit, who appeared to be was smoking a |
|
||
| cigarette, but then the smoke became a big fire. "There was a bright |
|
||
| light shining from his chest which went pink and blue," Mrs. Muthwa |
|
||
| said. She estimated that the figure was more than 11 feet tall. She |
|
||
| felt an electric shock in his presence, and added, "He must have been |
|
||
| emitting some kind of electricity, because it felt just like when I |
|
||
| touch the [electric] iron and my body goes all jerky." Suddenly, the |
|
||
| giant apparition shot into the sky and disappeared. The woman and her |
|
||
| daughter ran from the spot, spilling the water in their flight. |

|
||
| citing the Natal Mercury, August 22, 1972; David F. Webb & Ted |
|
||
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1972-21). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - A young woman, Kimberle Lenz, and her brother were abducted |
|
||
| while driving on a road near Boulder, Colorado at about 1:30 a.m. The |
|
||
| abduction experience lasted two hours, and involved missing time and |
|
||
| physiological effects. R. Leo Sprinkle investigated the case and |
|
||
| performed the hypnotic regression on the witnesses. Some kind of |
|
||
| levitation force was used which pulled the witnesses in the car |
|
||
| forward. Grey humanoid beings approached their stopped car from a |
|
||
| field. They were made to touch a black box, which caused them to lose |
|
||
| consciousness. Under hypnosis it emerged that the beings communicated |
|
||
| with them using telepathy; they were curious about human emotions. |
|
||
| When the abductees attempted to engage in resistance, they |
|
||
| experienced pain. (Sources: R. Leo Sprinkle, APRO Bulletin, May 1981, |
|
||
| p. 8; R. Leo Sprinkle, MUFON Conference Proceedings: 1980, p. 59; |
|
||
| Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery, case 86, |
|
||
| citing the 1981 Rocky Mountain Conference, p. 62). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1975 - At 11:30 p.m. two young men were making a bulk newspaper |
|
||
| delivery between Boulogne and Lille by motorbike when they were |
|
||
| followed briefly by an unknown "vehicle" in the vicinity of St. Omer, |
|
||
| Pas-de-Calais, France. A short distance further they saw a light in a |
|
||
| field a few hundred meters from the road. They stopped to look, and |
|
||
| they could see an ovoid object on the ground, lit from within by a |
|
||
| yellowish white light. It was approximately 3-4 meters long, and to |
|
||
| its right were two human forms about two meters tall that stood side |
|
||
| by side. The figures were completely illuminated by the light from |
|
||
| the object, so none of their features could be made out. The figures |
|
||
| began walking very quickly toward the young men. Frightened, they |
|
||
| took off on the motorbike and continued their journey. Several |
|
||
| kilometers further on they saw the object ascend into the sky at an |
|
||
| angle. Perhaps because of their astonishment and fear, they were |
|
||
| unable to locate the exact site of their experience when they went |
|
||
| back with investigators later. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
|
||
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1975-40, citing Joel |
|
||
| Mesnard & Jean Marie Bigorne). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1975 - At 11:45 p.m., while driving between Castronuno and Pollos in |
|
||
| Valladolid province, Spain three men spotted a white transparent |
|
||
| light that hovered over the road ahead of them. The car's engine |
|
||
| died, but the headlights continued to work. When the ball of light, |
|
||
| which was four meters in diameter, finally moved slowly off the road |
|
||
| to the left, the engine could be restarted. (Source: Gordon |
|
||
| Creighton, FSR, April 1977, p. 27). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - Ten years to the day after the Kalgoorlie, Western Australia |
|
||
| aerial encounter of 1968 another nearly identical incident |
|
||
| transpired, again over Western Australia. Flying from Adelaide to |
|
||
| Perth a Murchison Air Services airliner encountered a large |
|
||
| cigar-shaped object that flew ahead of the airliner. An opening |
|
||
| appeared in the object, and smaller UFOs emerged and maneuvered |
|
||
| around it, then reentered, and the UFO finally shot off at tremendous |
|
||
| speed. When the large object emitted the smaller satellite objects |
|
||
| the aircraft's radio failed until the small objects had re-entered |
|
||
| and the parent object had sped away. (Sources: Dominique Weinstein, |
|
||
| Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 23; Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
|
||
| Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, pp. 23,124). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - On this night at 9:30 p.m. three hunters near Coronel Dorrego, |
|
||
| Buenos Aires Province, Argentina heard strange noises, then smelled a |
|
||
| sulphur odor. They next saw a circular UFO with a black center and |
|
||
| white edges, and giving off blue reflections, only 100 meters away |
|
||
| from them. They jumped in their car to drive away, but suddenly found |
|
||
| themselves 50 meters away, with the car facing the other way. This |
|
||
| suggests that they experienced a period of missing time lasting at |
|
||
| least several minutes, but from the account no one appears to |
|
||
| have investigated this further. (Source: Jane Thomas, UFO |
|
||
| Newsclipping Service, October 1978, p. 14, translating a newspaper |
|
||
| article from Cronica, August 25, 1978). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - On the same night as the hunters' close encounter experience |
|
||
| in Argentina, several guests were having dinner outdoors at a resort |
|
||
| on top of a cliff in Southampton, Bermuda. They saw what first |
|
||
| appeared to them to be a helicopter approaching. When the UFO got |
|
||
| closer it shone a blood red spotlight on the witnesses, and they now |
|
||
| realized that what they were seeing was really a 30-foot in diameter |
|
||
| disc-shaped object. The craft had brightly lit rectangular windows |
|
||
| around its perimeter. The main witness and several of the other |
|
||
| guests could now see several Grey figures that appeared to be waving |
|
||
| at them; one of the beings stared directly at one of the witnesses. |
|
||
| After about a minute the silent craft flew out over the ocean and |
|
||
| disappeared. At this point, several military jets appeared and |
|
||
| appeared to give pursuit to the object. Later that night, at |
|
||
| around 5:00 a.m., the wife of the main witness woke up and was |
|
||
| startled to see a short figure standing in their room. The figure |
|
||
| raised one hand, waved, then lept right out the balcony window, a |
|
||
| distance of about 10 feet, never touching the rail. (Source: Albert |
|
||
| S. Rosales, 1978 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, case # 3618, |
|
||
| citing NUFORC). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1980 - In eastern Texas a UFO abduction occurred when a car was |
|
||
| levitated inside of a hovering circular craft. Meagan Elliott was |
|
||
| driving at 12:40 a.m. with her young daughter Renee in the early |
|
||
| morning hours, on a desolate road near Lake Fork Reservoir, Wood |
|
||
| County, Texas when her car radio became garbled and she heard a loud |
|
||
| electrical noise, then her car headlights dimmed. The vehicle was |
|
||
| suddenly lifted off the road, and they found themselves in a bright |
|
||
| circular room, still inside the car, which sat on the flat metallic |
|
||
| bottom of the hovering craft. A voice in her head told her to get out |
|
||
| of the car, but she refused to move. Next, a small putty colored |
|
||
| humanoid being with a large bard heald, his feet encased in |
|
||
| mist, appeared and forced open the car door. He then forced Meagan |
|
||
| and Renee to follow him. He was described as having huge oval eyes, |
|
||
| no body hair, a broad flat nose, and a small slit for a mouth. Both |
|
||
| of them were then clamped down on metallic tables, and their bodies |
|
||
| were probed by two humanoids using different types of tools and a |
|
||
| scanning device. Before being returned to the car and lowered to the |
|
||
| ground, they said they were fed various colored pills. Under |
|
||
| hypnosis, Meagan recalled extensive communication with the beings. |
|
||
| They made the disturbing statement that the Earth "was a fearful |
|
||
| planet with a tendency for annihilation." She also recalled being |
|
||
| shown seven characters, which represented the name of the place they |
|
||
| came from, it sounded like "Asterisk", but she said she could not |
|
||
| pronounce it correctly. (Sources: Richard Hall, Uninvited Guests, p. |

||
| |
|
||

||
| 1986 - In Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England a lone witness reported |
|
||
| encountering a 60 foot diameter ovoid object, beaming light at 50 |
|
||
| feet altitude, at 10:45 p.m. There were lights on the sides of the |
|
||
| UFO. Repeater witness. (Source: Robert Gribble, National UFO |
|
||
| Reporting Center, case # 1617). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1988 - At around one o'clock in the morning an abduction experience |
|
||
| occurred at a campsite near Athens, Maine. Two people were tent |
|
||
| camping when a disc-shaped object landed nearby and emitted a white |
|
||
| light. Next, a red ball exited the object and seemed to scout around |
|
||
| their campsite. After that, a "veil of lights" entered their tent, |
|
||
| and they experienced 45 minutes of missing time. Reportedly the event |
|
||
| has caused a profound change in their philosophy of life. (Sources: |

| |
|
||
| 1990 - A green cone-shaped object landed on a farm in Ebenezer, |

|
||
| to approach. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 15237, |

|
||
| citing Francis L. Ridge). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1999 - At 4:30 a.m. an 87-year-old woman saw a large, delta-shaped |
|
||
| object buzz over her home in Lake Charles, Louisiana. A blue beam |
|
||
| came down, illuminated her yard. She then experienced a three minute |
|
||
| period of missing time. (Source: George A. Filer, Filer's Files, |
|
||
| volume 9, issue 38). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1999 - On this afternoon Michelle and a friend were hiking on a |
|
||
| remote trail called the Ice Age Trail near Lodi, Wisconsin when she |
|
||
| became separated from her friend and went ahead. In a short while she |
|
||
| saw a flash of motion ahead, perhaps some 50 feet away. It was a |
|
||
| blue-gray figure moving along the trail toward her. His first |
|
||
| impression was that it was someone dressed in a blue jacket, but |
|
||
| abruptly the blue figure glided off the trail to her right, |
|
||
| disappearing behind some trees. It did not seemed to be walking, |
|
||
| but displayed a smooth gliding motion. Before it glided away the blue |
|
||
| figure seemed to change directions. As it turned she noticed a long |
|
||
| blue plume of something, waving from behind its head. Startled, she |
|
||
| turned to her companion who had come up behind her, and told him what |
|
||
| she had seen. They both walked ahead to investigate the point on the |
|
||
| path where it had vanished into the bushes, but found nothing |
|
||
| unusual. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1999 Humanoid Sighting Reports |
|
||
| database, citing Weird Wisconsin). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 2004 - Driving home at 1:00 p.m. from her birthday party in Woodbury, |
|
||
| Connecticut a teenager with her mother saw a disc-shaped object with |
|
||
| a slight dome on top hovering at a very high altitude; the sun |
|
||
| gleamed off its metallic surface. Because her mother responded |
|
||
| sarcastically to her statement that she had sighted a UFO, she turned |
|
||
| to argue, and when she looked back it was gone. (Sources: George A. |
