|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  August 2 |
| |
| 1909 - In Oamaru, near Sumpter's Hill, Otago, New Zealand a large |
| boat-shaped flying object with three lights was observed at 3:00 |
| a.m., clearly illuminated by the moon. Two figures were visible |
| inside the craft, and the object flew "at a fast rate." (Source: |
| Richard H. Hall, From Airships to Arnold: A Preliminary Catalogue of |
| UFO Reports in the Early 20th Century (1900-1946), p. 8). |
| |
| 1950 - On this day in San Rafael, Marin County, California a strange |
| cloud was seen over the city at 15,000 feet altitude for about an |
| hour, moving against the wind. It radiated many different colors: |
| green, blue, red, and orange. (Source: Gerald Heard, Is Another World |
| Watching?, p. 150). |
| |
| 1952 - At 3:00 a.m. on this morning USAF First Lt. W.A. Theil and an |
| enlisted man named Edwards watched a red ball with a blue flaming |
| tail fly straight and level for 3-4 seconds over Lake Charles, |
| Louisiana. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case # 1783; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO |
| Unknowns). |
| |
| 1954 - At 5:17 p.m. in Westlake, Ohio amateur astronomer Mr. N. E. |
| Schroeder, an ex-Army Air Force B-17 gunner--who had flown on 19 |
| combat missions--saw a thin, bright silver ovoid hovering in the sky |
| for 5-8 seconds. It then dropped down 3,000 feet in three seconds and |
| hovered again for ten seconds, and finally faded out after being in |
| view a total of 20 seconds. It looked like it was made of highly |
| polished metal, and was at a minimum distance of six miles from the |
| observer. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case # 3149; UNICAT, case # 777; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A |
| History. 1954: June-August, p. 62; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO |
| Unknowns). |

| children, watched a silent "rocket" make intricate maneuvers in the |
| sky over Reefton, New Zealand in the early afternoon. It rose, then |
| hovered at 900 meters altitude. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, |
| September 1957, p. 13; Loren E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the |
| Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1957: August-September, p. 4). |
| |
| 1959 - A petroleum worker measuring levels in storage tanks at 1:00 |
| a.m. in Cullen, Chile had a bright light fly over his head and follow |
| him, which caused him to run away, leaving the tank hatchways open. |

| 1960 - Mr. & Mrs. Hiot and a third witness encountered a purple light |
| while driving between Difques and St. Omer, Pas-de-Calais department, |
| France at 12:05 a.m. As it got closer it revealed itself to be |
| a domed disc-shaped object, four meters wide, with a red luminous |
| bottom that illuminated the road. the UFO paced their car for one |
| kilometer, making no noise and flying just three meters above the |
| ground. Mrs. Hiot saw a human-looking figure inside the saucer. |
| (Sources: Ouest France, August 5, 1960; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # A1786; Lumieres dans la |

| 1962 - Camba Punat Airport, Corrientes province, Argentina. Sr. Luis |
| Harvey, airport manager, and his staff thought that an unannounced |
| aircraft was about to land around midnight when they saw a luminous |
| object circling overhead at high speed. It came down to hover about |
| one meter above the runway for some four minutes. It was spherical, |
| spinning, and emitted flashes of blue, green and orange. When |
| approached by ground personnel it took off at very high speed. |

| date, including many UFO visual sightings with some confirmed by |
| radar trackings at several Air Force Bases in the United States. The |
| U.S. reports centered on the midwestern states, especially Kansas, |
| Oklahoma and Texas. There are reports from Latvia, Austria, |
| Argentina, Peru, Mexico and seven reports from Brazil. |
| |
| 1965 - On this afternoon a medical student walking on the beach known |

| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 667). |
| |
| 1965 - A famous color photograph was taken in Tulsa, Oklahoma by |
| 14-year-old Alan Smith at 1:45 a.m. Unlike most photos of alleged |
| UFOs taken by teenagers, this one had supporting witnesses. The photo |
| shows a mosaic pattern of yellow, blue and white light in the shape |
| of an ovoid with three tiny fingers. The object was described |
| as about size of a basketball, which moved slowly and changed color, |
| and also made a high pitched whining sound. Alan took his shot when |
| the UFO was almost directly overhead. (Sources: Hayden C. Hewes, |
| Flying Saucers magazine, June 1967, p. 8; October 1967, p. 18). |
| |
| 1965 - Five children saw a brilliant, round object without wings, |

| |
| 1967 - On this day in Arbroath, Tayside, Scotland a domed oval-shaped |
| craft, 20-30 feet in length, moved slowly at 100 feet above a |
| teenager riding on a bicycle. There was a red glow coming from the |
| dome, which started to flash. The object was completely quiet. |
| (Sources: Flying Saucer Review, November-December 1967, p. 29; Ron |
| Halliday, UFO Scotland: The Secret History of Scotland's UFO |
| Phenomenon, p. 124). |
| |
| 1967 - At 11:30 p.m. in the Norweigan Sea four Russian crewman aboard |
| the S. S. Izhevsk saw a white sphere in the dark sky as it |
| sailed slowly south. A bright football-shaped light appeared several |
| minutes later and rushed from west to east. It threw off sparks, |
| increased in size, stopped, became an egg in appearance, and gave off |
| a thick white mist that emerged as the object grew dim. The entire |
| incident lasted for more than 25 minutes. (Sources: Norma Short, |
| Skylook, February 1968, p. 7; Richard F. Haines, Project Delta: A |
| Study of Multiple UFO, p. 139; Jacques Vallee, UFO Chronicles of the |

| saw a rectangular UFO on the ground at 6:00 p.m. It dimensions were 9 |
| meters by 3 meters by 4 meters, with two windows, and it had two |
| wheels in front for landing gear. The object rose up and was lost |
| from sight in 30 seconds. At 11:44 p.m. a very bright red object was |
| observed by several witnesses at treetop level over a mountain, Monte |
| Gallicant, in Tarragona province, Spain swinging like a |
| pendulum. (Source: Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 |
| Type-I UFO Events in Spain and Portugal, cases 61 & 62). |
| |
| 1971 - In Ohrid, nine miles from the town of Rasanec, in the former |
| Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia a group of four had a close encounter |
| with a silver-colored UFO. There were physiological effects when a |
| beam of energy knocked the driver of their vehicle down, and the car |
| radio ceased to work. The silver disc, 10-15 meters in diameter, |
| first landed and then began glowing. Two "wings" came out of the |
| sides as it landed. (Source: Joseph M. Brill, Skylook, September |
| 1972, p. 17;  Milos Krmelj, FSR Case Histories, December 1972, p. 4). |
| |
| 1974 - At 2:15 p.m. three six-meter wide metallic discs with |
| transparent domes landed in a pasture in Englefontaine, Nord |
| department, France. They made a buzzing sound that was heard by the |
| two children who witnessed it. the discs rose in tandem, then flew |
| off to the west. Crop circles were found at the landing sites. At |
| 10:30 p.m. a domed ovoid object with square windows was seen on the |
| ground in a clearing in some woods in Auzay, Vendee department, |
| France. The UFO jumped up from ground level, turned 120 degrees  and |
| flew off into the woods. No traces were found at this second landing |
| site. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 141 & 228). |
| |
| 1974 - In Calvert, Texas a newspaper editor and his wife heard |
| "strange metallic noises", then witnessed a deep red UFO that |
| "roared" and pulsated, and chased their car for several miles on |
| Highway 979. UFO shook all over, like it was about to fall apart. |
| (Source: George D. Fawcett, Flying Saucers magazine, December 1974, |
| p. 39). |
| |
| 1976 - At around four o'clock in the morning Michael Wood, age 26, |
| was driving home when, as he reached Ten Mile Hill near Hobart, |
| Tasmania, Australia he heard a sound like loud electronic music |
| "turned up too high.” The area in front of his car lit up like a |
| "yellow lighted picture screen", on which he could see projected the |
| profile of a figure, ten feet tall, wearing a tight-fitting black |
| jacket and a pair of light trousers, which seemed to be turning to |
| look at him. He braked his car but the car went through the “screen.” |
| He could find no trace of it after stopping and going back to look |
| for it again. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1976-60, citing TUFOIC). |
| |
| 1976 - At 3:30 a.m. in St. Pierre-sur-Mer, Aude department, France a |
| five-meter in diameter domed disc was encountered hovering at six |
| meters altitude. The lights went out immediately on the object, then |
| came back on gradually.(Source:  Lumieres dans la Nuit, May 1977). |
| |
| 1979 - At 2:30 a.m. the two witnesses were driving through the town |
| of Le Delus on the island of Ile D'Oleron, France when they noticed a |
| green flash of light overhead followed by two bright descending |
| spheres. One of the spheres shot towards the rear of their vehicle |
| while the other descended close to the ground. A large rectangular |
| shaped opening became visible in the second object and three humanoid |
| figures were seen descending a ladder. The witnesses did not stay to |
| see any more, but drove away quickly from the area. (Sources: Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1979, case # 1734, citing Denys |
| Breysse, Project Becassine; Lumieres dans la Nuit, November 1979). |
| |
| 1982 - On this night a shiny silvery man was seen standing on the |
| side of the road at Hapuku Bridge in New Zealand. He had no |
| distinguishable features, and the bottom half of the figure was dark. |
| The motorist drove by and did not stop. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1982, case # 293, citing SBI Report). |
| |
| 1985 - At 9:45 p.m. in Black Earth, Wisconsin a white nocturnal |
| light projected a beam of light that moved back and forth like a |
| searchlight. The beam stopped, then the object descended slowly in a |
| zig-zag pattern. There were no radar returns. (Source: Jay Rath, The |
| W-Files: True Reports of Wisconsin's Unexplained Phenomena, p. 63). |
| |
| 1987 - Maria Marzoli was in Domodossola, Italy at 9:45 p.m. when she |
| saw a bright white light encased in what appeared to be a cloud |
| descend from a nearby mountain. When she approached the spot in order |
| to get a better look she saw three floating human like figures |
| approaching the light. The figures were about 1.80 meters in height, |
| and glided just above the ground in a vertical position. All three |
| wore light-colored tunics and pants and had long light-colored hair. |
| The figures briefly turned to stare at the witness before |
| disappearing into the bright spherical white light. The light then |
| disappeared into the distance, changing color into a greenish tint. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1987, |
| citing Archivio SUF, Tambellini). |
| |
| 1994 - The witness awoke shortly after midnight in her home in Cayey, |
| Puerto Rico after hearing a bang resembling the sound of a |
| firecracker exploding. It came from the entrance to her bedroom. She |
| heard the sound again, but this time it was closer to her bed, and |
| she next saw a short, thin gray-skinned humanoid with a large head |
| and huge black eyes walk standing in front of her bed. The |
| creature then entered her grandson's bedroom. She then apparently |
| fell back to sleep, because she was woken up by her grandson who told |
| her that that same short creature with large eyes had sat on his |
| chest and had stared at him. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1994, case # 1778, citing Hank Worbetz). |
| |
| 2000 - At 6:45 p.m. the witness had gone outside her house in Capilla |
| del Monte, Cordoba province, Argentina to empty the trash and was |
| returning back to the house when she noticed something floating above |
| the ground over some nearby laurel bushes. It appeared to be an |
| amorphous transparent figure, with large bright yellowish |
| almond-shaped eyes. The figure floated towards a nearby tree knocking |
| itself against it, and a branch was seen to fall down. At the same |
| time that it stared to vanish the witness heard a loud humming sound, |
| and there seemed to be a kind of charged energy in the air. |
| Frightened, the woman ran inside the house and summoned her husband, |
| but the figure had already vanished. The following days she suffered |
| from headaches and heard metallic voices calling her name. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2000, citing Proyecto |
| CATENT, Buenos Aires). |
| |
| 2001 - In La Joya, Guanica, Puerto Rico at 3:00 a.m., the same night |
| that Carmelo Sepulveda found one of his rabbits decapitated and |
| another injured, one of his neighbors heard rabbits squealing and |
| turned on an outside lightbulb that faced toward the animal cages. He |
| then went outside to take a look, and saw something resembling a |
| child standing next to one of the cages. However, the poor lighting |
| was not sufficient to let him make out any details. The figure |
| quickly took shelter among Sepulveda's cages and the rabbit's squeals |
| stopped. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2001, |
| citing Jose A Martinez Echevarria, PRRG). |
| |
| 2001 - At 5:30 a.m. well known local merchant was on his way south |
| towards Antofagasta, Chile on a desolate road when he suddenly |
| noticed a strange flying creature approaching his truck at very high |
| speed from the direction of the sea. As he braced for a possible |
| impact the creature suddenly shot up vertically and disappeared from |
| sight. The creature was described as brown in color, bigger than a |
| condor, with huge glowing red eyes and a long pointed snout. Its |
| overall appearance was "horrible." Others have reported seeing a |
| similar creature in the region. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 2001, citing the Chilean newspaper El Loa). |
| |
| 2001 - On this night Ms. M. of Rosario, Argentina felt herself |
| summoned by aliens, and she felt herself traveling through a tunnel |
| of "water" or something that felt like water. She soon found herself |
| in a jungle that was very hot. Next she found herself in a mansion |
| all white in color, and it gave her the impression of being in a |
| hospital. Inside the building she saw numerous children of both sexes |
| that apparently lived there. The children were barefoot and wore |
| white, loose fitting outfits. She also saw human adults that |
| identified themselves as the "instructors". The children looked human |
| but with some alien traits, "almost like hybrids." The aliens told |
| her that soon they would be leaving the Earth due to the coming chaos |
| and cataclysm. She saw an image of a huge explosion and many injured |
| persons. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2001, |
| citing Horacio Roberto, Nuevos Tiempos, Argentina). |
| |
| 2001 - At 8:30 p.m. a black rectangular object, quiet with no lights, |
| flew right over a couple driving in Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas. |
| (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, |
| August 2001 archived webpage, report uploaded August 5, 2001). |
| |
| 2004 - A young man, Andrey Alexandrovich Zabava, was spending time at |
| the seashore near Cape Plaka near Partenit, Crimea, Ukraine in the |
| company of several tourists from Russia and Poland. Their main reason |
| for being there was to hunt for UFOs, because they believed there was |
| an underground alien base hidden inside Ayu-Dug (Bear) Mountain, just |
| to the west of Partenit. Their first six nights were uneventful, but |
| on this night they saw several dim spots of yellow light that |
| appeared one after the other on the northeastern slope of the |
| mountain where there are no known buildings. The lights were |
| positioned in a triangle. At about 01:00 a.m. a strange object |
| appeared from the west slowly floating above the Black Sea. The |
| object made a slow right turn, drifting in total silence, and slowly |
| descended towards Ayu-Dug. When the object got closer Andrey could |
| discern an elongated rhomboid form, clearly outlined by rows of |
| lights. There were four bright emerald green lights positioned at the |
| four corners of the craft, and numerous red lights were running along |
| its edges, constantly blinking in a clockwise direction. Bright |
| yellow-green lights were located at the center of the bottom of the |
| craft, while four blue lights were positioned around it in a cross |
| shape. This magnificent craft also had several dimly lit yellowish |
| windows along its top section. When the craft was at its closest, a |
| stream of hot air could be felt emanating from it. When the UFO |
| passed along the seashore, Andrey noticed that all electric lights |
| along the seashore blinked out simultaneously as if from a power |
| interruption. Finally, the craft approached Ayu-Dug at a low altitude |
| and seemed to dissolve into thin air, but immediately following |
| this a bright beam of light appeared from the seashore and began |
| searching the sky and scanning the water. Apparently some |
| border guards had become alerted to the presence of the strange |
| craft. Andrey also noticed that his friend Vitya's wristwatch had |
| stopped when the craft passed directly overhead.  |
| |
| At around 3:00 a.m. bright yellow flashes of light appeared at the |
| top of the mountain, resembling fireworks. Over the next 15 minutes a |
| total of eight clusters of objects zoomed out of the mountain, and |
| flew off towards the southwest and eastwards towards Novorossiysk. At |
| 5:00 a.m. Andrey and Vitya had begun their descent of Cape Plaka, |
| when they heard a voice yelling at them from behind. "Sons!" it said |
| in Russian. They stopped and turned around. A figure resembling an |
| elderly woman stood on a rock. Her face could not be seen because it |
| was still dark and she was not facing them. The height of the |
| strange woman was about 1.5 meters and she was dressed in a long gray |
| loose fitting garment that completely covered her legs and a hood |
| that covered her head. In a soft female voice in pure Russian, she |
| said, "Sons! Don't tell anybody down there about what you have seen, |
| they will not understand." The somewhat stunned young men did not |
| began a conversation with her and did not pay much attention to her. |
| Several seconds later Andrey turned around again and the woman had |
| vanished. There was only a sharp rock outcrop and seemingly no place |
| for her to hide. Increasingly agitated, the witnesses searched for |
| the "nun" but could not find anyone.  |
| |
| They continued their descent from the rock, when Vitya screamed and |
| pointed to the shoreline near one of the Partenit piers. There they |
| saw another humanoid entity, very tall, about two or even three |
| meters in height, and dressed in a tight-fitting, dark blue diver |
| suit, which completely covered its body. It had on a helmet which was |
| attached directly to the suit. A yellow rectangular "window" was |
| positioned over the face area, but no facial features were visible. |
| The entity was standing in the water up to its waist, and looking at |
| the embankment and houses on the shore. Unexpectedly, after several |
| seconds of observation the alien figure simply dissolved into thin |
| air. The stunned witnesses finished their descent to the hamlet in a |
| very shaken state. On the pier they spoke to an old sea captain named |
| "Jora", who reported experiencing recent problems with his electronic |
| equipment onboard his cutter on several occasions. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2004, citing Andrey A. Zabava & |
| Anton Anfalov). |
