|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  August 29 |
| |
| 1942 - At around 7:00 p.m. two soldiers in the air traffic control |
| tower at the Army Air Corps Flying School in Columbus, Mississippi |
| observed the rapid descent of two red round glowing objects that |
| demonstrated extreme maneuverability and then hovered over the woods |
| at the end of the runway. They next experienced an episode of missing |
| time as well as sensory dislocation: they found themselves out in a |
| field with no memory of how they got there. (Sources: Richard M. |

| |
| 1948 - At 5:03 a.m. a farmer in Maplewood, Ohio observed a silvery |
| sphere of large dimension rise from a wooded area and hover above his |
| farm. It dropped a silvery substance that disintegrated before |
| touching the ground. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in |
| official statistics, case #169; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: |
| A Century of Landings, p. 193). |
| |
| 1952 - Two U.S. Navy pilots flying a P4Y-2 patrol plane witnessed |
| three white disc-shaped or spherical objects hovering west of Thule, |
| Greenland (77.00º N, 75.25º W) at 10:50 a.m. They flew very fast in a |
| triangular formation, and were in sight for 2-3 minutes. (Sources: |

| Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; UNICAT, case # 743; Kevin D. |
| Randle, Invasion Washington: UFOs over the Capitol, p. 281). |
| |
| 1952 - At 7:30 p.m. at least seven observers with a theodolite |
| sighted a luminous  bar in the sky over the city of Villacoublay, |
| Yvelines, France. The object flew to the northwest in jumps, and then |
| shot up vertically. (Sources: Aime Michel, The Truth About Flying |
| Saucers, p. 179-180; UNICAT, case # 200; GEPA Phenomenes Spatiaux, |
| March 1968). |
| |
| 1952 - At 8:35 p.m. pilot C. A. Magruder, flying near Colorado |
| Springs, Colorado saw three aluminum colored objects with |
| yellowish-red exhaust, 50-feet in diameter and 10' high. They flew in |
| a trail formation at estimated 1,500 m.p.h. for 4-5 seconds. |
| (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, |
| case # 2013; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; Kevin D. |
| Randle, Invasion Washington: UFOs over the Capitol, p. 281). |
| |
| 1954 - First Officer H.G. Gardner and engineer J. V. D. Whitisy, |
| flying a Royal Dutch Airlines DC-4 (PH-DBZ) at 11:05 a.m. near Prince |
| Christian, Greenland sighted three or four dark, lens-shaped objects |
| that veered to the north and changed position in formation for ten |
| minutes. (Sources: Richard F. Haines, Project Delta, p. 167; Don |
| Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; UNICAT, case # 779). |
| |
| 1955 - Eight children in Casa Blanca, Riverside County, California, |
| from 4-15 years of age, saw a “semi transparent” round object of |
| various colors in the sky at around three o'clock in the afternoon. |
| It would appear and disappear with musical “pings.” Some adults were |
| called to come see it, but they saw nothing. An object, “as large as |
| 3 houses,” came down to hover three feet from the ground. Beside it |
| appeared a transparent being 3.5 feet tall, with red eyes and mouth, |
| and a brilliant disc on its belt. Other similar objects also landed, |
| one on a housetop. One boy started walking toward one of the vessels |
| and was forcibly restrained. Another saw a beckoning, disembodied arm |
| in mid-air. A creature with four arms appeared, and told two of the |
| boys to climb a tree to be “picked up.” They did so, and a UFO |
| started to approach with little men riding on its rim. One boy |
| climbed down after a garden hose was turned on him by the other |
| children; the other “slid” onto a nearby roof and then walked off it, |
| landing on his head, stunned but with no apparent serious injury. |

| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1955-21 |
| (A0387), citing Bob Boden, Jean Rowlands & Mary Starbuck for BSRA, |
| Uranus, February 1956). |
| |
| 1960 - At 4:05 p.m. in Crete, Illinois farmer Ed Schneeweis sighted a |
| shiny, round, silver object that flew straight up very fast. It was |
| in sight for 18 seconds. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO |
| Unknowns). |

| |
| 1967 - In Cussac, Cantal department, France at 10:30 a.m. 13-year-old |
| Francois Delpeuch and his younger sister, Anne Marie, age 9, were |
| tending their family cows when they saw four dwarfish figures, 3.5 to |
| four feet tall, on the other side of the road, dressed in black. |
| Nearby was a six foot spherical object of dazzling brilliance that |
| rested on the ground. On closer examination they saw that the beings |
| were completely black---either naked, or wearing skin tight black |
| coveralls. They had pointed heads or helmets, which were also black. |
| One was picking something up from the ground, and another had a |
| bright object, like a mirror. When the entities became aware of the |
| children they rose up into the air vertically, one after the other, |
| and plunged head first into the top of the sphere, which then rose in |
| a spiral pattern with a whistling noise. It left behind a smell of |
| sulphur. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case 1967-88 (A0862), citing Joel Mesnard & Claude |
| Pavy for GEPA; UNICAT database, case 423; citing Michel Figuet; |

| November-December 1968; Spacelink, September 1968; Coral & Jim |
| Lorenzen, UFOs: The Whole Story, p. 280). |
| |
| 1967 - In Warminster at Cradle Hill, England a cone-shaped UFO was |
| seen by 25 witnesses watching for UFOs on this night. It landed 100 |
| meters from a copse of trees on Cradle Hill. Arthur Shuttlewood went |
| toward the landing sight, and at 300 meters distance he spoke to a |
| being (there are no details describing the being). The UFO went dark, |
| and as he walked back a creature of some sort flew overhead. (Source: |
| David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, |
| case 1967-87 (A0861), citing Arthur Shuttlewood). |
| |
| 1968 - At 9:30 p.m. six witnesses in San Sadurni de Osomort, |
| Barcelona, Spain saw a UFO 200 meters away, hovering just two meters |
| above the ground. It was a metallic sphere, which gave off a yellow |
| light. At 9:40 p.m. several people in Castrejana, Vizcaya, Spain saw |
| an object over the Mount Kobetas mountain peak for one minute. It was |
| square, with a dome on top, and extremely bright. (Sources: |
| Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in |
| Spain and Portugal, pp. 15-16, cases 67 & 68, citing Correo Espano, |
| August 30, 1968). |
| |
| 1968 - Starting on this evening at 6:30 p.m., a group of children in |
| Coleraine, Quebec, Canada on four consecutive evenings saw a strange |
| being hanging onto a boulder overlooking a cemetery. He was a |
| dwarfish humanoid about 4 feet tall, with a shaven or bald head, |
| naked chest, heavy black beard, and with red and bumpy skin, “like |
| that of a lizard.” This being would disappear into thin air |
| unexpectedly. A roaring noise was also heard coming from an |
| excavation at the foot of the boulder, and a kind of “flying saucer” |
| was seen, about 30 feet wide and colored blue, white and red. It left |
| a long trail of smoke, and each time it “looked as if it were trying |
| to land behind the boulder.” The children were Denis Bogus, age 7, |
| who first saw the object; his brothers Michael and Andre, and their |
| uncle, George Bogus; other adults who subsequently observed the |
| phenomena were Normand Daigle and Luc Cadorette. (Source: David F. |
| Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, |
| case 1968-62, citing Gene Duplantier, Saucers, Space & Science, Fall |
| 1968). |
| |
| 1968 - Larry Sorenson was driving from Ely to Delta, Utah on this |
| night when he saw a stationary bright, white light close to the |
| horizon. It turned a red color and became much brighter. Sorenson's |
| truck engine suddenly failed as he continued to drive towards the |
| light. He got out and watched the light travel overhead and disappear |
| behind him. It was changing colors from red to green to white and |
| back to red. After the light was gone, the truck could be restarted. |
| Sorenson noticed another car had also been stopped on the road. When |
| he got home, the trip had taken almost two hours longer to complete |
| than expected, and he had to account for two hours of missing time |
| with a possible UFO abduction experience. (Sources: Mark Rodeghier, |
| UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 42; Frank B. |
| Salisbury, The Utah UFO Display). |
| |
| 1970 - At 11:30 p.m. 18 witnesses from six families watched an oblong |
| or oval shaped object with a cupola during a close encounter near a |
| lake in Enebacken, Sweden. The UFO changed color from red to orange |
| to red as it moved about. The trees were illuminated by the close |
| approach of the object, and it made a humming noise. The sighting |
| lasted for two hours. Three round depressions were found in the grass |
| were the object apparently landed. The depressions were 40 cm in |
| diameter, 5-7 cm deep, and arranged in an equilateral triangle 3 |
| meters apart. (Source: Sven-Olof Fredrickson, FSR, October 1971, p. |
| 13; Mrs. K. Smith, BUFORA Journal, August 1971, p. 27; Fred Merritt, |
| Leg-Mark Catalog, case # 46; citing FSR). |
| |
| 1972 - Three Reading, Pennsylvania police officers, including a |
| sergeant, observed an oval-shaped object hovering several thousand |
| feet in the sky above Mount Penn. They said the object changed color |
| from white to red to bluish-green. After an unknown period of time, |
| the UFO suddenly shot upward and out of sight, according to the |
| officers. (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator, October 1972, p. 3). |
| |
| 1975 - At 10:45 p.m. Mr. R. Cyrus, a 48-year-old man driving on a |
| clear night between Noe and Longages, France saw a three-meter |
| diameter dark disc in a field that jumped at his car, then shot |
| straight up. The driver lost consciousness for two minutes and |
| suffered other physiological effects after the close encounter. |

| p. 75; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume 2: A Thirty Year |
| Report, pp. 19, 203, 269; Lumieres dans la Nuit, March 1976). |

| |
| 1978 - On this night in Guemes, Cordoba province, Argentina an ovoid |
| object with reddish flashes moved at a low altitude in the proximity |
| of the local observatory. Residents discarded the notion that it was |
| a plane. At 11:00 p.m. two UFOs appeared in the skies over the city |
| of Mendoza, Argentina. Their estimated speed was 6000 kph, altitude |
| 30,000-40,000 meters, and they were photographed with "special |
| cameras and techniques." (Source: Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping |
| Service, November 1978, p. 14, citing Cronica, August 29 & 31, 1978). |
| |
| 1979 - Two primary school students were walking home from school |
| through Zachodni Park in Wroclaw, Poland around four p.m. As they |
| were walking by one of the alleys they saw a strange disc-shaped |
| object on the ground, with two silvery-garbed humanoids standing next |
| to it. Another being was inside the transparent dome on the top of |
| the object. The students ran to get additional witnesses, but when |
| they returned to the landing site the object and its occupants were |
| gone. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1979, |
| citing Tymoteusz Tobala & Marcin Mioduszewski, CBUFOIZA, Poland). |
| |
| 1979 - A silvery cigar with an orange light and square windows |
| approached, hovered, and then finally sped away over the horizon in |
| Ernestowo, Bydgoszcz, Poland. (Source: Richard Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, Volume 2: A Thirty Year Report, pp. 24; International UFO |
| Reporter, May-June 1987, p. 24). |
| |
| 1979 - Mount Cameron, Tasmania, Australia - The witness had gone |
| outside at 7:30 p.m. to investigate the reason her dog was barking |
| when she noticed a bright light above a nearby mountain. It |
| accelerated its downward approach and came towards her. The witness |
| mentally told the object to retreat, which it then did. Subsequently |
| the witness saw an apparition of a small humanoid (not described) |
| that was in a seated position. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1979, citingMark Moravec, PSIUFO Phenomena). |
| |
| 1979 - The 47-year-old witness was at home in her Oak Lawn residence, |
| southwest of Chicago, Illinois as she watched a huge blimp-like |
| structure pass over her house at treetop level. Through the craft's |
| luminous yellow hull, apparently transparent, four different types of |
| three-foot-tall humanoids could be seen. The object made a loud |
| humming and roaring sound as if left the area. No other witnesses |
| were located. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
| 1979, case # 292, citing International UFO Reporter, January-February |
| 1980). |
| |
| 1984 - In Ashbury Park, Monmouth County, New Jersey a round UFO with |
| spinning yellow lights hovered over area at 2:30 a.m., making a loud |
| noise that woke many from their sleep. Fort Monmouth tracked a |
| 90-foot wide object on radar at the time. (Source: Doris Graziano, |
| APRO Bulletin, May 1985, p. 8). |
| |
| 1991 - At 10:30 p.m. 31-year-old night watchman Marcos Ibanez |
| Ibarrola was driving his Renault 4 truck on his way to work in Torres |
| de Elorz, near Pamploma, Navarra, Spain when he saw over a nearby |
| water tower a flashing orange light approaching him. The object, a |
| two meter wide disc-shaped object with a clear dome on top, |
| approached quickly and struck his vehicle's hood, causing the truck |
| to stop and completely disabling its electrical system. The object |
| resembled a large truck tire encircled with several red and orange |
| lights. It was making a loud revving sound. The witness quickly got |
| out of his truck and ran to an embankment. He then saw a short, heavy |
| set Grey humanoid within the glass canopy. It had a large head and |
| glowing, slanted eyes. When another truck approached, the object rose |
| vertically and quickly flew away in a zig-zagging flight |
| path. Scratch marks and an oily thick and foul smelling liquid was |
| found on the truck's hood. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # |
| 309; Albert S. Rosales, 1991 Humanoid Contact Reports Database, case |
| # 2367, citing Iker Jimenez, Encuentros: La Historia de Los Ovni en |
| España). |
| |
| 1992 - Three cylinders were seen in the sky at close range after a |
| home burglar alarm system and lights were effected at 2:30 a.m. in |
| Mount Seymour, British Columbia. The policeman witness was unable to |
| wake his wife, but their baby reacted to the close encounter, and |
| their dog became sick. The incident lasted 30 minutes. (Sources: |
| Lorne Goldfader, Alien Update, p. 280; Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue |
| 318). |
| |
| 1993 - A motorist chased a domed disc-shaped object in his car for 12 |
| minutes between Crouse and Cherryville, North Carolina at 4:30 a.m. A |
| videotape of the domed object he made with his camcorder was |
| evaluated by MUFON. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, November |
| 1993). |
| |
| 1998 - A black triangle shaped UFO was seen in Calgary, Alberta, |
| Canada at 1:30 a.m. The witness estimated the object to be "several |
| times larger than an airplane." It hovered, than zipped across the |
| sky in two seconds. (Source: Geoff Dittman, Canadian UFO Survey |
| Report, case 92).  |
| |
| 2001 - A woman reported to the National UFO Reporting Center that |
| her 12-year-old daughter came home from school in Grantville, |
| Pennsylvania and said she had to tell her something, and she didn't |
| think she would not believe her. At 7:47 p.m. she had seen |
| two saucer-shaped craft in the sky that approached her; one had a |
| "sparkly light" that came out of bottom of one of the ships in a |
| tubular shape, that went towards the ground and stayed there for 15 |
| seconds, then came back up into the ship. "Then both ships left the |
| area going away from our hours." He daughter is afraid that something |
| will happen to her or her family. She could not sleep well for |
| several days since the event. (Source: George A. Filer & David E. |
| Twichell, Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, p. 2; |
| Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, August 2001 webpage). |
| |
| 2001 - At 6:00 p.m. a black, triangular-shaped object was observed |
| over Omaha, Nebraska in daylight for 45 seconds.  At 9:20 p.m. two |
| very similar looking black, triangular objects , moving low to the |
| ground, were seen in Marietta, Ohio for about a minute. They were |
| moving very quickly in a northeasterly direction. (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, August 2001 |
| archived webpage, reports uploaded on October 12, 2001). |
| |
| 2004 - In Omemee, Ontario, Canada a low, dark, cloud-like object was |
| spotted in the sky at 7:35 p.m. that moved from west to east, changed |
| direction, then changed direction back again to west to east until it |
| was out of view. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2004 Canadian UFO Survey, |
| case # 628, citing NUFORC). |
| |
| 2007 - At 11:34 p.m. a man had just let his dogs out into his |
| backyard in Stafford, Virginia when they starting acting very |
| aggresively. The older female dog got out the door and immediately |
| ran down a hill as if to attack something. When the witness walked |
| out and followed behind the dog, he illuminated the area with his |
| handheld spotlight and saw what appeared to be two small beings, |
| about 4 feet tall. They looked to be made out of light, that was |
| faint but only illuminated their heads and hands, as if their bodies |
| were cloaked by clothing. Next these two figures retreated quickly |
| about ten feet down the hill, and, incredibly, seemed to crawl up |
| into an unseen opening or portal. It looked like they were going up |
| into a completely darkened craft. The witness could only describe it |
| as a portal or window like opening, which didnt emanate any light. |
| He could still see that there must have been some sort of craft |
| present, because when it started to move away it caused an air |
| turbulence and a moving shadow two feet off the ground. He tried to |
| shine his light on it but it seemed to absorb all light. As it moved |
| away it rose up into the sky and then he could begin to make out a |
| shape. Before the small figures entered the craft they looked back at |
| the witness, and their eyes glowed softly with a pale blue light, but |
| he could not see any other facial features. His dog stopped barking |
| when the object left. The witness described the shape of the object |
| as arrow shaped, about 20 feet long, with the pointed and narrow end |
| in front and wider at the rear. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 2007, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle, August 2007 archived webpage). |
