| Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
|
||
| |
|
||
| October 1 |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1948 - At 9:00 p.m. an aerial encounter occurred on this day over |
|
||
| Fargo, North Dakota between an F-51 fighter plane and a somewhat |
|
||
| flattened white circular unidentified object, blinking on and off. |
|
||
| The UFO made a head-on approach toward the F-51, then veered off, |
|
||
| next made a 180 degree turn, then out climbed the performance |
|
||
| aircraft, rising straight up until out of sight. Its close turns |
|
||
| were tighter than could be made by the fighter plane. The encounter |
|
||
| lasted 27 minutes. (Sources: Edward J. Ruppelt, True Magazine, May |
|
||
| 1954; Edward J. Ruppelt, Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, p. |
|
||
| 59; Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying Saucers from Outer Space, p. 33; UNICAT, |
|
||
| case # 532). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - There are 26 UFO and humanoid reports recorded in UFOCAT for |
|
||
| this day. There is one from the Assam region of India, two are from |
|
||
| Italy, and the remainder are from France, which appears to have been |
|
||
| at the center of a massive wave of UFO sightings. Notice how the humanoid cases |
|
||
| tend to occur at intersections of the major great circle routes |
|
||
| described by four or more points on a straight line. Below are some |
|
||
| of the more interesting reports on this day: |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - A woman in Dhubri, Assam, India reported to police that she |
|
||
| had seen a luminous disc leaving a long trail in the sky. It landed |
|
||
| in a field, and then took off again. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, |
|
||
| Challenge to Science: The UFO Enigma, p. 132; Passport to Magonia: A |
|
||
| Century of Landings, p. 214, case 169). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - At 1:00 p.m. two bricklayers, Sebastiani and Buratto, |
|
||
| approached a cigar-shaped object in Blanzy, Saone-Loire department, |
|
||
| France that was sitting on the ground. It was three meters long, 80 |
|
||
| cm wide, and it took off from the ground with a whistling sound. The |
|
||
| pointed section of the object was yellow, the rest brown. From the |
|
||
| fore part, two appendages extended to the ground. (Source: Jacques |
|
||
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 214, case |
|
||
| 170). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - At 4:00 p.m. a man and his dog in Bry, Nord department, France |
|
||
| were "paralyzed" and frozen in place when a luminous white object |
|
||
| dove toward them, then climbed back into the sky. (Source: Jacques |
|
||
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 214, case |
|
||
| 171). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - Two young men in Jussey, Haute-Saone department, France saw a |
|
||
| luminous white disc moving in the sky at 7:00 p.m. It dove to the |
|
||
| ground and two very tall beings, dressed in white, emerged from it |
|
||
| and made gestures. The witnesses ran away in fear. (Sources: Jacques |
|
||
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 214, case 173; |
|
||
| Michel Figuet & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet |
|
||
| des rencontres rapprochees en France, p. 104). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - Near St. Jean d'Angely, France two businessmen, Messrs. Estier |
|
||
| and Phelippeau, who were driving back from Royan at eight o'clock at |
|
||
| night, saw a little man crossing the road in front of their car. When |
|
||
| they stopped the car the figure disappeared into the woods. (Sources: |

| Sud-Ouest, October 2, 1954; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
|
||

|
||
| Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des rencontres rapprochees |
|
||
| en France, p. 105). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - Mechanic Ernest Delattre, age 19, was riding home on his motor |
|
||
| scooter between Lormaison and St-Crepin-Ibouvillers, France at eight |
|
||
| o'clock when a brilliantly illuminated egg-shaped object landed on |
|
||
| the left side of the road 15 meters away. He saw short, dark shapes |
|
||
| "like potato bags" moving about the object. He sped up, saw the |
|
||
| object, the size of a small bus, taking off while its color changed |
|
||
| from orange to blue and then to grayish-blue. The witness fainted |
|
||
| while telling his story. Two persons in neighboring villages |
|
||
| independently reported observing the object. (Note: Vallee lists the |
|
||
| date as October 2nd but Figuet & Ruchon believe the correct date is |
|
||
| October 1st.) (Sources: Jacques |
|
||
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 215; Michel |
|
||
| Figuet & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des |
|
||
| rencontres rapprochees en France, p. 104). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - At 8:30 p.m. several inhabitants of St-Michel-sur-Meurthe, |
|
||
| France saw a cigar-shaped object in the sky with very bright white |
|
||
| lights fly towards the north. (Source: Michel Figuet & Jean-Louis |
|
||
| Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des rencontres rapprochees |
|
||
| en France, p. 106). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - In Branges, near Louhans in Saone-Loire department, France. |
|
||
| While coming home at night around 10:00 p.m., Gilbert Prudent and one |
|
||
| other witness saw a lighted object on the side of the road. It had a |
|
||
| flat section and a sort of large "mushroom" on top (domed disc). As |
|
||
| he approached it, the object became dark and took off vertically with |
|
||
| a soft whistling sound. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
|
||
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 214, case 175; Michel Figuet & |
|
||
| Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des rencontres |
|
||
| rapprochees en France, p. 105). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - Returning home from work in Bergerac, Dordogne department, |
|
||
| France fireman Jean Dufix, age 26, saw an oval light in the sky at 10 |
|
||
| o'clock. He first took it to be a shooting star, but later he was |
|
||
| alarmed when his yard looked to be ablaze. Rushing outside, he saw a |
|
||
| disc rise from the ground with a whistling sound. It flew off, became |
|
||
| luminous again, and then shot off at a fantastic speed. His neighbor, |
|
||
| Jean Labonne, age 61, also saw the disc resting on three legs in the |
|
||
| yard. They estimated the disc was three meters (10 feet) in diameter. |
|
||
| (Sources: Le Figaro, October 6, 1954; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
|
||
| Magonia: A Century of Landings , p. 214, case 176). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1964 - At 12:50 p.m. a 24-foot diameter dark disc-shaped object |
|
||
| passed over an industrial plant in Danvers, Massachusetts. It flew |
|
||
| under a cloud at 2,500 altitude, at an estimated speed of 300 mph. |
|

|
||
| 1965 - Three school students, Santos Vallejos, Antonia Aparti, and |
|
||
| Adela Sanchez were walking to General San Martin School, Aguas |
|
||
| Blancas, Salta province, Argentina when they were attacked by small |
|
||
| creatures with greenish skin. The children ran away, and arrived at |
|
||
| the school in a state of terror. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
|
||
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 706, citing CODOVNI). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - Valeriano Ruiz Fontes, a 28-year-old radio technician, |
|
||
| observed an illuminated object at 10:30 p.m. in Tibidabo, Barcelona, |
|
||
| Spain which he first took to be a large Jeep. However, It was |
|
||
| hovering just above the ground about 700-800 yards away. It was about |
|
||
| 14 feet long, with half a dozen oval illuminated windows, and had on |
|
||
| top a square turret. Near the UFO were four people of normal stature |
|
||
| wearing dark uniforms and bright helmets. Two of the beings climbed |
|
||
| up the turret, manipulating or fixing some fittings there, while the |
|
||
| other two were examined the underside of the object. After watching |
|
||
| for about half an hour, the external lights were extinguished, |
|
||
| showing only the illuminated portholes. The object then rose |
|
||
| vertically with no noise to about 500 feet, showing yellow, red |
|
||
| orange, and a triangle of blue-green lights, and took off at |
|
||
| extremely high speed. (Sources: Antonio Ribera, FSR, May 1968, p. 26; |
|
||
| David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, |
|
||
| case # 1967-101 (A0879)). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1973 - On this night three teenagers in Anthony Hill, Tennessee saw a |
|
||
| huge, hairy, robot-like creature that walked mechanically with its |
|
||
| hand upraised. It had a large round head. An egg-shaped UFO was also |
|
||
| seen at the same time. This occurred during a thunderstorm, and |
|
||
| imprints were later found at the site. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted |
|
||
| Bloecher: HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-27; David |
|
||
| F. Webb, 1973, The Year of The Humanoids). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1975 - At around 8:00 p.m. two teenagers, Michio Hikawa and Takashi |
|
||
| Furuya, were parked in a car at a scenic spot in Japan's Southern |
|
||
| Alps near Hakushu, Japan when Furuya became agitated about a group of |
|
||
| children resembling beggars near the car. Hikawa didn't see them. |
|
||
| Among the figures Furuya saw were some resembling girls, about one |
|
||
| meter tall, dressed in white. Pointing them out to his companion, |
|
||
| Hikawa still was unable to see them, and turned on the car's |
|
||
| headlights. When this happened the figures faded away, but their car |
|
||
| was abruptly pulled backwards several times by an unseen force, |
|
||
| eventhough the hand brake was on. Frightened, the two teenagers left |
|
||
| the area. Hikawa suggested that the figures may have been "spacemen", |
|
||
| and the pair returned to the scene later, where the same mass |
|
||
| displacement effects occurred to the car again. Again fearful, the |
|
||
| pair drove home. The car subsequently malfunctioned and required |
|
||
| repairs, the result of a broken piston. Peculiar "hoof like" marks |
|
||
| were observed on a window in the car following the encounter. There |
|
||
| were no reports of UFOs seen. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
|
||
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1975-44, citing Jun Ichi |
|
||
| Takanashi for APRO). |
|
||
| 1977 - At 7:00 p.m. two brothers were hunting in an uninhabited area |
|
||
| near a quarry west of Libau, Manitoba, Canada when they saw a UFO |
|
||
| that looked like an inverted bowl with two long extensions. It |
|
||
| was 75-100 feet wide, 25 feet high, and 1/2 a mile away at 500 feet |
|
||
| altitude. It made a humming noise, and moved away slowly. (Sources: |
|
||
| Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, December 1977, p. 2; |
|
||
| UNICAT, case # 188). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1987 - Marysville, Indiana. At 7:50 p.m. a black rectangular object |
|
||
| was witnessed by a lone witness for 10 minutes while driving in a |
|
||
| rural area. The UFO flew silently to the southwest, then toward the |
|
||
| northwest, and finally further to the southwest. (Source: Francis L. |
|
||
| Ridge, Regional Encounters, p. 112). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1992 - Three men were in the backyard of a home in Clare, South |
|
||
| Australia at 7:00 p.m. when they saw, at a low altitude in the |
|
||
| northwestern sky, two lights travelling to the northeast. It resolved |
|
||
| into a cigar-shaped object that was thicker in the middle, with a |
|
||
| hazy glow surrounding it. It continued to fly to the northeast and |
|
||
| was lost from sight behind some trees. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1993 - A large white ball of light flew from north to south over |
|
||
| Nutter Fort, West Virginia at 7:00 p.m. It followed a car to |
|
||
| Stonewood, then shot away quickly. (Source: Bob Teets, West Virginia |
|
||
| UFOs: Close Encounters in the Mountain State, p. 162). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1995 - An orange disc-shaped object hovered over a house in |
|
||
| Vacaville, California for a minute at 9:00 p.m., at only 100 feet |
|
||
| altitude. At 10:30 p.m. an extremely bright disc-shaped object flew |
|
||
| over a house in Austin, Texas heading north. It was the "size of a |
|
||
| volleyball at arms length," and had a green tinge on top. (Source: |
|
||
| Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 2000 - At 11:15 p.m. two objects were sighted over Jones Beach on |
|
||
| Long Island in Nassau County, New York. A diamond-shaped UFO landed |
|
||
| on the beach. It directed an intense red beam, then a blue-colored |
|
||
| beam, at the witnesses' car, which caused the car with the three |
|
||
| occupants to be lifted into the air. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U |
