|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  January 4 |
| |
| 1913 - An airship with lights was spotted by three witnesses |
| including police as it flew over Dover, Kent, England |
| southeast toward the sea; "motors" were heard. (Source: Lucius |
| Farish, newspaper clipping, January 6, 1913; Desmond Leslie & George |
| Adamski, Flying Saucers Have Landed, p. 36). |
| |
| 1949  At 2:07 p.m. in Hickham Field, Honolulu, Hawaii Captain Paul |
| Storey sighted a large, round, flat disc-shaped object that "blinked" |
| and flew silently with a type of whitish reflection. The top of the |
| craft looked dark. It flew at 3,000 feet altitude and circled the |
| airfield, blinking once per second, finally flying away climbing into |
| the northeast sky. The sighting is listed by the Air Force as an |
| “unknown.” (Sources: US Air Force Project Blue Book files counted in |
| official statistics, case # 275; Michael David Hall, UFOs: A Century |
| of Sightings, p. 4). |
| |
| 1954 - Mr. Chesneau, a fireman at the Marignane Airport in France, |
| saw a round luminous object slowly coming down and called the control |
| tower to report it. When he came out again, the object had |
| disappeared. (Source: Jimmy Guieu, Les SV Viennent d'un Autre Monde; |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia, p. 205). |
| |
| 1958 A woodcutter in Stavanger, Norway saw a UFO land in a forest |
| at 2:30 in the afternoon. A very tall man with a tan face got out. |
| The being wore a helmet as part of his uniform. After a few minutes |
| he got back in the craft, and it took off without making any noise. |
| (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia, A Century of Landings, |
| case 455). |
| |
| 1959 At 1:30 a.m. five people saw a luminous globe make sharp |
| maneuvers in the sky about ten miles south of Clines Corner, New |
| Mexico. It then hovered over a highway intersection for fifteen |
| minutes. (Source: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics). |
| |
| 1963 A domed disc with tripod landing gear landed in a park in |
| Rome, Italy. It was estimated to be five meters in diameter. The man |
| who witnessed the landing said he felt a gust of wind as the UFO took |
| off vertically and vanished into the sky. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia, A Century of Landings, case 557, citing Momento |
| Sera January 9, 1963; Robert Pinotto, Flying Saucers, January 1966, |
| p. 60). |
| |
| 1965 - At 5:15 p.m. a procession of three bright, orange to red |
| elliptical objects passed before observers in Bethel, Vermont at high |
| speed and low altitude in rapid succession. (Source: Raymond E. |
| Fowler, case investigation, report dated January 18, 1965). |

| |
| 1966 - Three witnesses riding in a truck in Concepcion del Urugruay, |
| Argentina had a close encounter on this night with a luminous green |
| object surrounded by haze. The EM effects on truck caused the engine |
| to slow and flip over. No serious injuries were reported. (Sources: |
| Cronica, January 5, 1966; Uriondo Oscar A. Uriondo, FSR Case |
| Histories, June 1973, p. 11; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, |
| Volume II, p. 273). |
| |
| 1971 A policeman woke up in his home and saw a 30-meter diameter |
| disc in the yard outside his home, located between the towns of |
| Crawford and Pine Bush in Ulster County, New York. The UFO hovered |
| and pulsated close to his house for 40 minutes. (Source: Larry Hatch, |
| U computer database, case 9224, citing Ellen Crystal, p. 19). |
| |
| 1972 - On this night a car was levitated in Sweden with possible |
| missing time. (Sources: S. Helmer, FSR, May 1972, p. 31; Thomas E. |
| Bullard, UFO Abductions:  The Measure of a Mystery, case # 243). |
| |
| 1973 - In Londrina, Parana State, Brazil Joao Marques, age 31, |
| observed a UFO hovering over the road near his home at 2:30 a.m. A |
| door in the craft opened, and a human-like figure in white descended |
| on a rope to the ground. The being then picked up a bit of grass and |
| put it to his nose or mouth, then discarded it. He next picked up a |
| hydrangea plant, which he took with him. He ascended the rope and |
| entered the craft, and the UFO left. The height and other features of |
| the being were not given. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1973-125 (A1185); |
| Walter Buhler, SBEDV Special Bulletin). |
| |
| 1974 Two woman driving in a car in the suburbs of Chicago followed |
| a low flying UFO in Berwyn, Illinois at around 5:15 p.m. The object |
| had two bright lights and a red tower-shaped structure. It flew at an |
| estimated 75 feet above the ground, then hovered over a high school |
| athletic field. It turned off its lights when it flew away. At |
| shortly after 7:00 p.m. a UFO hovered over Legler Lake, Minnesota. At |
| eight p.m. in rural Lake county Minnesota police officers Haugan and |
| Dufresne of the Waldo Township Police saw four “unbelievably bright” |
| lights, the color and hue of a burning log, from their patrol car. |
| The lights flew to the west, then banked and flew off toward the |
| southwest at an estimated 800 feet altitude. Their sighting lasted 30 |
| seconds. (Sources: MUFON Field Investigation files, report dated |
| January 6, 1974; CUFOS case investigation files, report dated May 12, |
| 1975; Two Harbors (MN) Chronicle and Times, January 10, 1974). |
| |
| 1977 - At 12:30 a.m. man was training his German shepherd dog in a |
| pine grove in Carapito Beira Alta, Portugal when the animal suddenly |
| became agitated and sat next to him. He then saw hovering 10 meters |
| from the ground a dark metallic domed object that was emitting a |
| beeping sound. Near the object was a very tall, heavy set figure, |
| human like. The object suddenly emitted a silvery lighting flash and |
| disappeared, and so did the bulky figure. The witness suffered from |
| severe headaches soon after the incident, and his dog died with no |
| obvious cause of death in August of the same year. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1977, case # 106, citing |
| Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos & Fernandez Peri, Enciclopedia De Los |
| Encuentros Cercanos con Ovnis). |
| |
| 1978 - The witness was lying in his bed in Wrose, England on this |
| night when a short silvery transparent figure suddenly appeared |
| hovering above the bed. It seemed human like and was wearing a monk |
| like robe. It also appeared to have some short wing like protrusions |
| and a bright halo type light around its head. It vanished in plain |
| sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, |
| case 1790, citing Nigel Watson, Portraits of Alien Encounters). |
| |
| 1979 A group of four farmers saw a small glittering sphere float |
| about in the sky over Jitra, Malaysia at 6:45 a.m. (Source: Ahmad |
| Jamaludin, Summary of Unidentified Flying Objects and Related Events |
| in Malaysia, p. 86). |
| |
| 1979 That same morning at around seven a.m. in Rowley Regis in the |
| West Midlands, England, Mrs. Jean Hingley had waved goodbye to her |
| husband on a bitter cold morning when she saw a light in the garden. |
| Thinking he had left the light on she went to investigate, but it was |
| turned off so she returned to the kitchen. She put down some food for |
| the family Alsatian dog and called him from the garden, but he |
| flopped down as if drugged and gazed at the ceiling, glassy-eyed. |
| Then, with a "zee---zee-zee" noise, three weird creatures flew past |
| her into her lounge. They were only one meter tall and had waxy white |
| faces, coal-black eyes with no eyebrows, and very thin mouths. They |
| wore silvery clothes with transparent fishbowl-type helmets over |
| their heads. These humanoids also had transparent “wings” or wing |
| attachments. Jean clung to her sink paralyzed but then, she says, she |
| also suddenly floated towards the lounge. |
| |
| Jean noticed that the aliens were inspecting the ornaments on the |
| Christmas tree with interest. They also probed into her mind with |
| telepathy—“It was like a light or an X-ray penetrating.” They told |
| her she would not be harmed and, when she asked where they were from, |
| one said, “We come from the sky.” When she explained the house was |
| decorated to celebrate Jesuss birthday, they claimed “We know all |
| about Jesus.” |
| |
| They said they would return. “We come down here to talk to people but |
| they don't seem to be interested.” Finally, when she showed them how |
| to light a cigarette they fled as if in terror, taking a mince pie |
| each with them. Outside in her garden was an egg-shaped object with |
| windows. They floated into it, and it took off, emitting a bluish |
| flash and pulsating twice before disappearing with a flash. The dog |
| returned to normal, and Jean called the police. The electric clock in |
| the house had stopped, and all her cassette tapes were magnetized and |
| unplayable. In the snow where the object had sat was an oval outline, |
| which the local UFO group was able to photograph before the snow |
| melted. She also suffered from a case of conjunctivitis as a result |
| of her close encounter. (Sources: Alfred Budden, Fortean Times, June |
| 1988, p. 40; Jenny Randles, Abduction; Patrick Huyghe, Field Guide to |
| Extraterrestrials, p. 92; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database, case # 440). |
| |
| 1988 Two 35 centimeter red spheres maneuvered low over a field in |
| Vetterslev, Denmark starting at 6: 45 p.m. and continuing for two |
| hours. Melted snow and small footprints were later found in the |
| field. During that same time there were at least eight UFO sightings |
| reported throughout parts of Yorkshire, England. At 8:10 p.m. a |
| torpedo-shaped object, resembling a World War II V-1 German |
| “buzz-bomb,” flew over the city of York. It reportedly emitted smoke, |
| flame, and debris, and was followed through the sky by a brilliant |
| ball of light. At 8:45 p.m. a thin, pencil-shaped UFO with red and |
| blue running lights was sighted in Selby. At 9:10 p.m. a ex-RAF man |
| saw flashing lights around a 400-foot diameter, layered disc that |
| glowed orange in Leeds. In Dewsbury at 11:30 p.m. a disc flew back |
| and forth in the sky, making a swishing sound. It either extinguished |
| its lights, or vanished, because its disappearance seemed to be |
| instantaneous. (Sources: Scandinavian UFO Information Newsletter, |
| issue #11; Timothy Good, The UFO Report 1990, pp. 14-17). |
| |
| 1990 Several people in Mauriac, France at 12:40 p.m. witnessed a |
| black disc-shaped UFO with two rows of square windows. It had four |
| legs and a tube in the front, and moved through the sky slowly and |
| silently. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue #300) |
| |
| 1992 - A farmer in Saga Prefecture, Japan, who had been experiencing |
| cattle mutilations heard his dog barking at night and went out to his |
| barn to check. He saw a small white object floating in his barn, like |
| a jellyfish with things like tentacles hanging from the bottom. It |
| drifted outside and vanished. When he investigated further he found |
| he had a cow with a broken leg. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database website, Case # 2343). |
| |
| 1994 - At five minutes after midnight in Tronville-en-Barrois, France |
| a domed disc-shaped object landed or came very close to landing in a |
| field, illuminating the entire area. Three figures are seen inside a |
| doorway, one of them exited from the door of the craft. (Source: |
| Claude Raffy, Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue no. 322). |
| |
| 1994 - In Maplethorpe, England at 11:25 p.m. a huge, silent |
| triangular craft was seen near some microwave transmission tower |
| dishes. Several televisions in the area changed channels. (Source: |
| UFO Newsclipping Service, March 1994). |
| |
| 1996 - Madeline Tolentino was driving with her 2-year-old son in her |
| Isuzu Trooper in Campo Rico, Puerto Rico with the windows rolled |
| down. They were driving on Route 185 near a horse track called El |
| Comandante at seven p.m. when she smelled something pungent, like |
| sulfur, which irritated her throat. She kept driving and suddenly saw |
| a creature with glowing red eyes. It ran across the road in front of |
| her SUV and disappeared. Frightened, she returned home to tell her |
| husband. He went back to the area and noticed the pungent odor but |
| did not see the creature. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1996, case #2807, citing Chat Deetken). |
| |
| 2003 - At 2:40 a.m. PST three large, white circular UFOs hovered in |
| the sky over Rosswood, British Columbia. In San Isidro, Texas at 5:15 |
| a.m. twelve oval-shaped objects moved around in the sky for over one |
| hour. Eleven or more bright objects moved across the sky in formation |
| in clear daylight in Chula Vista, California at 2:30 in the |
| afternoon. That evening at 9:41 p.m., in Bayport, New York, two |
| glowing objects chased each other, swirled around, and danced in the |
| night sky. (Source: Peter Davenport, UFO Reporting Center, January |
| 2003 website). |
| |
| 2003 - In Fulton, Missouri Bob Simon, age 25, awoke at three a.m. |
| while he was being dragged towards the bedroom window by an unknown |
| intruder. He looked up to see a very tall thin humanoid with red |
| eyes, no mouth, and a gray body. It had huge hands with very long |
| fingers. Recovering his senses, Simon struggled with the alien and |
| managed to grab a small knife next to his bed and stab at the alien. |
| The alien seemed to have been hurt, and relaxed his grip on Simon. |
| There was a sudden blast of bright light and the creature vanished. |
| Simon claimed to have scratch marks on his body. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2003, citing UFO Watch). |
| |
| 2004 - At 8:30 p.m. an Aer Lingus Boeing 737-400 with 135 people on |
| board was damaged by near a miss with a UFO while flying 15 nautical |
| miles offshore of Ashbourne, Ireland. The UFO caused a power drain |
| and a purple glow around the 737 as the triangular UFO flew in front |
| of the airliner. It also caused a huge turbulence in its wake. A |
| second aircraft encounter occurred on the same night at 10:30 p.m. |
| when a A330-200 with 213 people on board encountered a flashing |
| strobe light over Slane, Ireland. The airliner encountered |
| a triangular UFO with an estimated 360 foot wing span. The UFO |
| circled the plane aggresively. The second encounter lasted several |
| minutes. Both encounters were tracked on airborne radar. (Source: |
| Dermot Butler, Conspiracy of Silence: UFOs in Ireland, pp. 41-42). |
| |
| 2004 - A white egg-shaped object was seen floating in the sky at |
| 10:00 a.m. PST in Hayward, California. It was five feet in diameter |
| at the thiner dimension. The two witnesses then saw two more objects |
| about three-fourths the size of the first, also egg shaped, gray in |
| color, but not metallic. A white object changed shape slightly into |
| a smooth diamond 200 feet up. The sightings lasted five minutes. |
| (Sources: Preston Dennett, UFOs over California: A True History of |
| Extraterrestrial Encounters in the Golden State, p. 214; MUFON UFO |
| Journal, issue 430). |
| |
| 2004 - Two oval objects that could travel at extremely high speeds |
| were sighted in Holyoke, Massachusetts at 2:00 p.m. EST. At 2:30 p.m. |
| a silver disc-shaped object with a bulge on one face, estimated to be |
| maybe 30 feet across, was sighted in Fort Myers, Florida. It |
| reflected sunlight and bobbed around at between 3,000 and 5,000 feet |
| altitude. (Source: Peter Davenport, UFO Reporting Center, January |
| 2004 website). |
| |
| 2004 - A very large, hovering disc-shaped object that appeared to be |
| lighted from within was sighted in Four Oaks, North Carolina at 7:00 |
| p.m. The object also appeared to have flashing lights on the outside. |
