|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  February 5 |
| |
| 1883 - A huge fireball flew over Lake Glasfjorden near Arvika, Sweden |
| towards the northwest for 18 seconds. It turned toward the southeast |
| and zigzagged through the sky for an additional 50 seconds. (Source: |
| Willy Smith, International UFO Reporter, May-June 1984, p. 4, citing |
| Nature, March 1883). |
| |
| 1934 - On this evening an unknown mysterious airplane made an |
| emergency landing on Fager Mountain in Malsev, Troms, Norway. Two men |
| were seen clearing away snow, and the engine noise was heard |
| throughout the valley. Parallel marks in found in the snow, 75 meters |
| in length, as well as two sets of footprints. (Sources: John A. Keel, |
| FSR, July-August 1971, p. 18; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A0107). |
| |
| 1950 - Seven people witnessed two cylindrical objects maneuvering in |
| the sky at 5:10 p.m. near Falmouth Airport on Cape Cod, |
| Massachusetts. A fireball dropped from one of them, then they climbed |
| into the western sky and disappeared. Listed as a Project Blue Book |
| "unknown" case. (Source: Cape Cod Standard Times, February 6, 1950; |
| Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: January-March, p. 17; Project |
| Blue Book, February 1950 summary report). |
| |
| 1963 - On or about this date a student, Anastasio Lenven, saw an |
| object land on the school grounds in Asuncion, Paraguay. In a |
| separate observation, several residents, including an official of the |
| Ministry of the Interior, saw an object flying at very high speed |
| over the city. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, case 562). |
| |
| 1967 - At 1:45 a.m. a boomerang-shaped object was seen for six |
| minutes by seven musicians and five other observers in Oakland City, |
| Indiana. The UFO flew off to the northwest. (Source: Francis L. |
| Ridge, Regional Encounters, p. 27). |
| |
| 1967 - On this evening Timothy Johnson, a 14-year-old teenager in |
| Hilliards, Ohio heard his dog barking and a strange noise, and then |
| saw an 75-foot long ovoid object descend with tripod legs extended. |
| The UFO had a rotating pattern of lights and came down to 30 feet |
| over some railroad tracks, then landed near a school. It made a |
| steady humming sound. From an elevator-like shaft came five or six |
| tall, human-looking figures wearing black robes, who placed small |
| spheres around the craft. A man walked up to them and appeared to |
| speak with the entities. The teen was then noticed and the man ran |
| after him, catching him by the back of the neck and causing burn |
| marks. The man next dragged Timothy almost to the craft when his |
| captors suddenly became panic-stricken, dropped him, hurriedly |
| gathered up the spheres, and reboarded the craft, which took off |
| rapidly. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, May-June 1967, p. 6; |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 816; |
| Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, pp. |
| 326, 472; Raymond E. Fowler, Casebook of a UFO Investigator, p. 181; |
| David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, |
| case 1967-13 (A0782)). |
| |
| 1967 - At 9:45 p.m. M. Louis Monin, age 49, was outside his house in |
| Sauvigny-les-Bois, L'Yonne, France when he saw an intensely yellow |
| luminous ovoid object coming at very low altitude over a nearby |
| cemetery. He called his 17-year-old granddaughter Marie Solange to |
| watch it. The fat cigar-shaped object approached, then oscillated and |
| turned red-orange, and finally landed in Monin's garden, 110 feet |
| away from them. It was about 60 feet long and 20 feet high. At each |
| end of the cigar was a jet of "flames," directed obliquely downward, |
| and a crackling noise could be heard. Next, a stout little man, |
| 3.5-4.0 feet tall, appeared standing beside the object. Monin and his |
| granddaughter immediately went back into the house to call his wife, |
| but when the three of them came out again the little man was gone and |
| the UFO now appeared as a red-luminous ball about 25 feet in |
| diameter. This ball took off and was soon lost from view. The |
| observation lasted five minutes, and no landing traces were found in |
| the garden. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-14 (A0783), citing M. Copin & Fernand |
| Legarde for LDLN; UNICAT, case # 608, citing Joel Mesnard, GEPA |
| Phenomenes Spatiaux, December 1969). |
| |
| 1968 - Nicholas Rinaldi, age 38, a commercial artist, observed a |
| large cigar-shaped object at low level in rural Cromwell, Connecticut |
| at 8:25 p.m.  He tried to approach it in his car but it flew away. |
| This was his third low-level sighting of a dark cigar-shaped UFO |
| since his first spectacular close encounter on January 24, 1967 with |
| 19 other separate witnesses. (Source: Donald A. Johnson, on-site |
| investigation). |
| |
| 1970 - On this day a spinning domed disc-shaped object, glowing |
| orange and blue, approached three observers at Chesterfield |
| Inlet, Northwest Territory, Canada to within 50-60 feet. The motors |
| of their three snowmobiles quit working. The disc shot straight up |
| vertically and was gone. (Source: UNICAT, case # 133, citing L. |
| Couvrette). |
| |
| 1971 - On this afternoon two young men, P. Aliranta and E. J. Sneck, |
| were working in the woods in Kangaskyla, Kinnula, Finland when Mr. |
| Aliranta noticed a 15 foot wide metallic saucer-shaped object descend |
| and land on four thin legs in a clearing 50 feet away. After it |
| landed a short entity just under 3 feet tall glided to the ground |
| from an opening in the underside. It was dressed in a green one-piece |
| "diver's suit" and wore a helmet with a circular faceplate. It |
| approached the young men, walking on top of the deep snow, and |
| Aliranta moved toward it with his power chain saw in hand. Through |
| three windows in the upper part of the object three more entities |
| could be seen. The humanoid retreated from Aliranta and was |
| levitating into the object from underneath when the young man grabbed |
| it by the heel of its boot with his bare hand. He found that touching |
| it burned like a hot iron and he had to let go at once. As soon as |
| the being was back inside the object it ascended with a slight |
| buzzing or humming sound. Both men felt stiff all over and had |
| difficulty moving. Four landing leg marks and small footprints were |
| left behind in the snow. (Sources: Tapani Kuningas, FSR Vol. 17 # 5; |
| David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case A1102, citing Tapani Kuningas). |

| |
| 1972 - In Evillers, France a red disc with blurry edges flew silently |
| toward the north at a steady speed until gone from view. (Source: |
| Lumieres dans la Nuit, October 1974). |
| |
| 1976 - Two women saw a dark domed disc with red and white lights |
| through a second floor bedroom window at their home in France. Inside |
| the transparent dome they could see two human like figures. They had |
| tight fitting hoods on their heads. The UFO flew away over an |
| orchard. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case A1861, citing Joel Mesnard). |
| |
| 1978 - Thirty miles east of Baladonia, Western Australia a |
| 30-year-old truck driver was paced by a UFO on the Eyre Highway at |
| around one o'clock in the morning. At some point during the incident, |
| a brightly lighted object passed him, and then a small dull light |
| pursued him for 30 minutes, retreating only when other traffic |
| approached. He then had three hours of lost memory. The only memory |
| he had was of a fragmentary recollection of some conversation with an |
| entity about an invention. At sometime after four a.m. he found |
| himself a few miles outside the town, with most of his clothing |
| scattered about the truck cab. (Source: Bill Chalker, MUFON UFO |
| Journal,  August 1980, p. 5). |
| |
| 1978 - Thirty-year-old Julio Fernandez and his English Pointer dog |
| Mus were driving in his car to do some early morning hunting for |
| hares. They were driving towards Soria province, Spain. At about 4:30 |
| a.m. Julio stopped to drink coffee and anis at a wayside bar known as |
| the Hostal 113, beside the highway on the outskirts of Algora. At |
| 5:45 a.m. Julio left the bar and drove on, half an hour later passing |
| Medicaneli. Suddenly he "knew" that he had to be at a certain |
| location 15 km further on, and put his foot down on the accelerator. |
| At this point his conscious recollection stopped. |
| |
| Later under hypnotic regression Julio remembered driving his car when |
| for no accountable reason he suddenly braked. From this point on the |
| car seemed to act of its own accord, reversing, and then coming to a |
| halt after having entered a narrow dirt trail backwards. Then the |
| engine stopped, the lights went out, and the radio cassette player |
| ceased to work. It was as though the electrical current had been |
| completely severed, because the new battery no longer charged and the |
| plugs no longer sparked properly. |
| |
| Mus started growling, so as a precaution Julio took his Winchester |
| single barrel, semi-automatic shotgun out of the trunk and loaded it |
| with its maximum of five carriages. It was then that he caught sight |
| of two somehat human looking beings coming down the road. They halted |
| only one and a half meters from him. They wore seamless one-piece |
| pastel green coveralls that reached to the feet and gave off a very |
| faint luminosity. Their uniforms had no zippers nor openings and |
| gathered at the waists. The suits were sufficiently tight fitting for |
| their muscles to show. They wore pale yellow cowls or hoods, leaving |
| only the face uncovered. |
| |
| The men were about two meters tall and had extremely broad shoulders, |
| with powerful dorsal muscles showing prominently, narrow waists, and |
| they seemed unusually athletic. Among features that set them apart |
| from ordinary human beings were the exceptionally long arms and |
| hands, large crania and very large eyes. Julio felt a sense of peace |
| and calm envelop him. When they addressed him he at first thought |
| they were using speech, but later realized that their lips did not |
| move, so he assumed they communicated telepathically with him. |
| |
| They asked him to calm down and to follow them. Julio obeyed, taking |
| along his dog and the gun. Julio was then led to a huge |
| mushroom-shaped craft that had been concealed behind two hills in the |
| bottom of a small valley, though hovering four meters above the |
| ground. It was shaped like an inverted soup plate, had a matt, |
| silvery metallic color, and appeared to have a diameter of about 60 |
| or 70 meters and a height of some 15 to 20 meters. |
| |
| Arriving underneath the central area of the craft, Julio noticed its |
| had a completely smooth surface, as though molded in one piece, with |
| no rivets or fittings. At this point he became aware of a powerful |
| odor of pine, or possibly ozone, a smell also detectable on board. |
| Julio's gun and knife levitated upwards into the craft. A smooth |
| metallic cylinder then emerged silently from the center of the disc, |
| stopping just above the ground. It was about four meters in height |
| and 2.5 meters in diameter. A door, sliding upwards, opened in the |
| descended cylinder's wall, revealing a small compartment lit by a |
| strange white light coming from everywhere that Julio found |
| disturbing. |
| |
| By now frightened, he hesitated before stepping through the door into |
| the shaft. The dog refused to follow him so Julio had to drag him in. |
| What was now an interior elevator rose silently, stopping at an |
| entrance to a corridor, where they alighted. Further along was |
| another corridor, with two metallic doors, about 2.5 meters high. The |
| whole appearance of the place was the most clinically aseptic. The |
| walls were continuous with the ceiling, being joined by a gentle |
| curve. Continuing along the circular passage, he came to a small |
| ladder. The ladder looked like the steps of a swimming pool, with a |
| very shiny finish and a cylindrical handrail. One of the beings led |
| the way up, scaling the steps in two jumps with phenomenal agility. |
| With some difficulty Julio followed, carrying the dog under his right |
| arm and with the gun over his shoulder. He noticed the railing felt |
| cold. At the top of the ladder was another individual who assured |
| Julio that he had nothing to worry about. The "flight deck" was about |
| 15 meters wide and five meters high. In the center stood a kind of |
| console. It had some resemblance to an electronic organ. It was about |
| 2.5 meters wide and had set metal footings with a transparent screen. |
| The control table itself stood upon a circular platform. Elsewhere |
| stood three smaller consoles set around the circumference of the |
| room, in front of which were high conical seats. Also set close to |
| the surrounding wall was a large square lead gray panel and a |
| metallic rectangular table. |
| |
| Set around the dome at intervals of about one and a half meters were |
| rectangular windows made out of something like smoked glass. |
| Meanwhile, his dog Mus had been around the flight deck, sniffing at |
| everything, including at least one of the aliens, who reacted in a |
| surprised manner. When Julio called out to his dog, the sound of its |
| name evoked surprise among the entities. On asking where his hosts |
| originated, Julio received an unintelligible mental response, |
| including the expression "three seven, squared." |
| |
| The aliens indicated that they would like to examine his dog and take |
| blood samples from him. Mus was carried to a rectangular table and |
| blood from his paw was extracted using a fairly normal looking |
| syringe. The men then communicated to Julio that they wanted to |
| examine him and placed him behind the screen on the rectangular |
| table. After a few minutes he was given to understand that was all to |
| be required of him. But in subsequent recollections---which proved |
| harder to recover and which clearly he found disturbing---Julio said |
| that numerous samples had been extracted from him, including blood, |
| semen, urine, spinal fluid, saliva, and gastric juices. He believed |
| that two women, similar facially to the men, were also onboard at the |
| time. Julio was ordered to sit on one of the seats at the central |
| console. Next to Julio sat one of the crewmembers who raised the left |
| armrest and nimbly fingered several silvery buttons. The seat began |
| to revolve along a track in the central console. Julio continued to |
| sit beside the crewmember, his dog and gun at his side. Suddenly, a |
| brief, piercing whistle was heard, producing a slight commotion on |
| the flight deck. |
| |
| The tallest of the three crew members quickly headed toward one of |
| the consoles and all three studied the remote viewing screens in |
| front of them. An image appeared of an older looking man. The crew |
| members began talking among themselves. The man on the screen seemed |
| to be a superior and spoke first, and then the others conversed with |
| him. The language sounded harsh to Julio, he described it as sounding |
| like a mixture between German and Korean. They seemed to spit out the |
| words as they were talking, and some of the sounds were like coughs. |
| The image disappeared from the viewing screen and Julio found himself |
| back in telepathic communication with his hosts. Hectic activity |
| ensued; as crewmembers started desperately pushing buttons. The |
| central platform began to rotate in a counterclockwise direction, |
| halting when the control console came in line with what Julio assumed |
| was a "computer." Another whistling sound could be heard, from which |
| point Julio seems to have passed out. After another whistle Julio was |
| awake again. The crewmembers showed interest in Julio's gun and, |
| passing it around among themselves, asked him about its use. A heavy |
| smoker, Julio lit a cigarette. The men asked if they might take one |
| away for study and deposited it into the same cylinder. Soon Julio |
| was escorted to the lift cylinder, the metal door rose and he was |
| back outside, in bright sunlight. |
| |
| He staggered back to his car, where his dog awaited him, having run |
| ahead. The car engine now worked, and he drove away without bothering |
| to look back at the disc. Among the information imparted |
| telepathically to Julio by the UFOnauts was that other, shorter |
| beings were coming here who employed less ethical methods. These |
| others, it was explained, "are engaged in probing and programming" |
| the minds of those humans whom they have contacted or kidnapped. |
| Julio Fernandez was killed in a car crash in 1992, coincidentally |
| near the site where he claimed to have been abducted. (Sources: Jane |

| |
| 1978 - At 8:00 p.m. a corporate pilot flying northwest of Klamath |
| Falls, Oregon had a close encounter with a V-formation of ten bright |
| orange-white lights which paced his plane, climbed rapidly, then sped |
| away. (Source: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II:  A |
| Thirty-Year Report, p. 124). |
| |
| 1979 - A young man driving in Lawitta, Tasmania, Australia |
| experienced the brilliant illumination of his car at 9:50 p.m. by a |
| bright white light that enveloped his car. His car radio died, then |
| the engine and headlights, and he experienced paralysis and other |
| physiological effects. He next experienced several hours of missing |
| time and memory loss.  He was treated for shock. (Sources: Richard H. |

| Time Storms: Amazing Evidence for Time Warps, Space Rifts, and Time |
| Travel, p. 37). |
| |
| 1979 - At 2:00 a.m. two women spotted a UFO while driving home from |
| work in Brick Township, New Jersey. It was bright orange, fuzzy |
| semi-circular with blue tints. It was seen just above the treeline, |
| and estimated to be the size of a Zeppelin. It hovered over a lake |
| near the airport, and then over the airport. (Source: Asbury Park |
| (NJ) Press, February 5, 1979; UFO Newsclipping Service, April 1979, |
| p. 1). |
| |
| 1990 - At 2:35 a.m., on an overcast night, a witness in Richmond, |
| British Columbia first noticed a light outside the apartment building |
| window, which came closer and became a deep red, glowing hamburger |
| bun-shaped UFO. The object changed exterior coloration on approach |
| from white to red. The witness roused a friend to observe the |
| receding object, and the man and woman watched as it turned to first |
| pink and then white as it flew away. (Source: Dan Wright, MUFON UFO |
| Journal, August 1990, p. 21, field investigator Michael Strainic). |
| |
| 1990 - In Pensacola, Florida at 6:30 p.m. a 36-year-old man saw a |
| 20-foot in diameter disc-shaped object with a steady white light on |
| top and a pulsating red light on the bottom. He called his wife and |
| another witness to come watch. The object followed a curved flight |
| path with a wobbling motion. (Source: Carol & Rex Salisberry, MUFON |
| CDROM database of UFO reports, case #900327). |
| |
| 1990 - At 9:15 p.m. in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania a couple in |
| their mid-thirties saw a oval-shaped object with pointed appendages |
| and the top and bottom that hovered at 20 to 30 feet above the |
| ground. The body of the craft was silver-white. There were rows of |
| silver squares on side, which were rotating around the craft. It also |
| had a row of red, green and blue lights that flashed in |
| unison.(Source: Wayne Willis, MUFON CDROM database of UFO reports, |
| case #900407). |
| |
| 1993 - In Pensacola Beach, Florida a ten meter long "helicopter" |
| without rotors emitted three sets of four balls of light. (Source: |
| Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 15959, citing UFO Newsclipping |
| Service, March 1993). |
| |
| 1995 - In Greenville, North Carolina a square-shaped object with |
| stripes buzzed a car at 1:30 a.m., then followed the car home. |
| (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 17105, citing |
| NUFORC). |
| |
| 2000 - A motorist driving in St. Andre de Cubzac, Gironde, France at |
| around two o'clock in the morning reported to the government that he |
| saw a luminous phenomenon moving quietly and slowly at low level, |
| which then hovered above a nearby wood. Its distance while hovering |
| was 200 meters, with an estimated altitude of 150 meters. The |
| sighting lasted 30-40 seconds. (Source: GEIPAN, case # 320). |
| |
| 2000 - In Lordsburg, New Mexico two enormous "mothership" craft were |
| reportedly seen on the ground eight miles away. The estimate of their |
| size was more than 2,500 feet in diameter. Small satellite craft were |
| also seen departing and returning. (Source: UFO Magazine (USA), May |
