| Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
|
||
| |
|
||
| December 29 |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - At 9:00 p.m. a red oval-shaped object was seen on the ground |
|
||
| near a river in Bru, Gironde, France, 50 meters away from witnesses. |
|
||
| The main witness, a Mr. Gamba, tried to approach it but was unable to |
|
||
| move. The object rose up into the air, and as it did it changed color |
|
||
| from white to red. Traces found at the site showed that the ground |
|
||
| had been dug up, and some small trees had been cut. (Sources: Jacques |

|
||
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 358, citing |
|
||
| Sud Quest, December 31, 1954). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - In Bergamo, near Clusone, Italy a cigar-shaped object was seen |
|
||
| hovering 25 meters from the ground at midnight. Several figures could |
|
||
| be seen inside a transparent compartment. (Sources: Jimmy Guieu, |
|
||
| Flying Saucers Come from Another World, p. 240; Lumieres dans la |
|
||
| Nuit, issue #326). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - Coming home from a basketball game in Breese, Illinois at |
|
||
| 9:30 p.m., four teenagers watched a motionless bright light in the |
|
||
| sky and got out of their car. They felt an intense heat, and heard a |
|
||
| humming sound. The sensation of heat became very strong, even in the |
|
||
| car. The UFO left after 10 minutes. (Sources: Skylook, April 1969, p. |
|
||
| 11; Jay Rath, The I-Files: True Reports of Unexplained Phenomena in |
|
||
| Illinois, p. 52). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - Multiple reports of a UFO with bright colored lights came |
|
||
| about the same time that a family of four called the Lumberton County |
|
||
| Sheriff's dispatcher to report seeing a humanoid figure wearing "a |
|
||
| silver and black suit with some sort of helmet" in the Forest Acres |
|
||
| area of Lumberton, North Carolina. The figure would jump into bushes |
|
||
| and vanish when observed. The callers sounded sober, according to |
|
||
| dispatcher Fred Barnes. Four deputies checked the woods around Forest |
|
||
| Road and Barker Ten Mile Road but found nothing. (Sources: Ted |
|
||
| Bloecher, CUFOS case files, report dated June 5, 1975; David F. Webb |
|
||
| & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # |
|
||
| 1974-60, citing Lee Spiegel). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1980 - Shortly after 9 p.m. Betty Cash, age 52, was driving through a |
|
||
| pine forest on a rural road near her home in Dayton, Texas with her |
|
||
| friend Vickie Landrum, age 57, and Landrum's grandson, six-year-old |
|
||
| Colby. They watched as a brilliant diamond-shaped object descended |
|
||
| over the road directly in front of them, spitting flames from its |
|
||
| underside. Betty Cash slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a |
|
||
| halt about 150 feet away from the UFO. They immediately felt an |
|
||
| intense heat inside the car and heard a loud roaring sound. They got |
|
||
| out of the car and stared at the blinding light and a metallic |
|
||
| structure as big as the 200 foot-tall water tower in Dayton. It was |
|
||
| shaped like a diamond with a blunt top. The UFO seemed to be |
|
||
| struggling to climb above the treetops, and it was emitting blasts of |
|
||
| fire and a continuous roar that reminded the women of a shrill |
|
||
| welding torch, only much louder. After ten minutes the object rose |
|
||
| above the trees, tilted onto one side, and began moving off slowly |
|
||
| toward the south. They then saw up to 23 large, Chinook style |
|
||
| helicopters show up in the sky, apparently in pursuit of the object. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| (Continued.) On the drive home Betty and Colby said they suffered headaches and |
|
||
| later nausea, and over the next several days experienced bouts of |
|
||
| vomiting, diarrhea, and skin burns. Betty Cash also lost most of her |
|
||
| hair, and on January 2, 1981 was admitted to Houston's Parkway |
|
||
| General Hospital as a burn patient. She spent four of the next five |
|
||
| weeks in the hospital. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| Cash and Landrum contacted the state police and nearby military |
|
||
| bases, but no one could or would provide them with an explanation. |
|
||
| Cash was advised to contact John F. Schuessler, a NASA contractor and |
|
||
| employee of McDonnell Douglas Aircraft, who was a project manager for |
|
||
| the Space Shuttle Flight Operation, and is now the Director for |
|
||
| MUFON. Schuessler and NASA physicist Alan Holt interviewed the |
|
||
| witnesses, who took them to the encounter site. Where the UFO came |
|
||
| down over the highway the yellow line had swiggled from the melting |
|
||
| heat. "A roughly 20-foot circle of the road surface appeared to have |
|
||
| melted and then resolidified," said Schuessler. Trees in the vicinity |
|
||
| were blackened twenty feet above the ground on the side facing the |
|
||
| road. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| Schuessler also found five other witnesses who had observed the same |
|
||
| or a similar UFO the same night. Another eight witnesses, including a |
|
||
| Dayton police officer, claimed to have seen the swarm of helicopters |
|
||
| but not the UFO. For the next several years Schuessler tried without |
|
||
| success to identify the helicopters and where they came from, but |
|
||
| there were unconfirmed rumors that the helicopters came from a Texas |
|
||
| Air National Guard base. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| Health problems continued to plague Betty Cash, Vicky Landrum and |
|
||
| Colby. Cash moved to Birmingham, Alabama where, as Dr. Bryan |
|
||
| McClelland said in an interview, "The illness that she suffered after |
|
||
| her exposure was an absolute classic radiation injury in which she |
|
||
| lost skin and hair, then had diarrhea and vomiting. She could not |
|
||
| have made it up. Vicky Landrum has subsequently died. (Sources: John |
|
||
| F. Schuessler, MUFON case investigation files; Randy Fitzgerald, |
|
||
| Reader's Digest). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1992 - A woman arriving home from work in a residential area of |
|
||
| Chicago, Illinois was confronted by eight faceless men in her parking |
|
||
| lot at about 7:00 p.m. They carried hand-held devices like black |
|
||
| flashlights. One spoke in a computer-like voice. She developed a |
|
||
| blinding headache, and then lost consciousness. (Source: Albert S. |
|
||
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1992, case # 1046, citing Ann B. |
|
||
| Livingston). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1994 - Two witnesses driving in a car at 7:30 p.m. in Plerin, France |
|
||
| observed flashing blue lights, occurring successively and changing |
|
||
| place. They tried to approach but were stopped by a luminous barrier |
|
||
| 1.5 meters above the ground. They also felt a sensation of heat. |
|
||
| (Source: French GEIPAN database, case 194). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1994 - A woman decided to take a short cut home on a dirt road |
|
||
| through a wheat field in Lacrosse, Washington at 9:45 p.m. She had a |
|
||
| close encounter with three black, wedge-shaped flying objects, with |
|
||
| lights on their leading edge, that passed in front of her car. The |
|
||
| objects were about 20 feet long and emitted strong beams of light. |
|
||
| They made a humming sound as they flew along very low and slowly, |
|
||
| then turned and flew off to the north. The event frightened her |
|
||
| badly. (Sources: Gerald Rowles, MUFON Field Investigations Database, |
|
||
| case 950106S; T. David Spencer, MUFON UFO Journal, June 1996, p. |
|
||
| 16). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1996 - Two men out trapping in the woods in Hartsburg, Missouri at |
|
||
| around 7 p.m. witnessed a silent, black triangular object overhead. |
|
||
| It had 3-4 white strobe lights, and also blue and red lights. It made |
|
||
| no sound. (Source: Francis L. Ridge, UFO Intelligence Newsletter; |
|
||
| Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 17508). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 2005 - Several large glowing orange balls of light came up from |
|
||
| horizon east of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada at around 8:15 p.m. |
|
||
| They stopped in the sky, then circled, then dropped from view. A |
|
||
| photograph was taken. (Sources: Geoff Dittman, 2005 Canadian UFO |
|
||
| Survey, case # 133, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
|
||
| Center, Seattle). |
