| Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
|
||
| |
|
||
| August 28 |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1945 - On this day Leonard H. Stringfield was flying to Iwo Jima |
|
||
| island onboard a U.S. Army Air Force C-46 shortly after the end of |
|
||
| the war with Japan. Three luminous lights began to follow his C-46 |
|
||
| transport plane as they approached the island in the Pacific. The |
|
||
| plane's engines faltered, its magnetic compass failed, and its |
|
||
| engines temporarily stopped. There were thirteen military witnesses |
|
||
| on board. Len Stringfield became a life long UFO investigator as a |
|
||
| result of this encounter. (Sources: Leonard H. Stringfield, Inside |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1945 - At five o'clock in the morning two women in Langelmayesi, |
|
||
| Finland noticed a dark cylindrical object. Inside the prow of object |
|
||
| stood a slender man in green coveralls, and another man who was |
|
||
| apparently steering the craft inside a glass dome. Their Black |
|
||
| Labrador dog reacted in terror. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1947 - In Fukuoka, Japan at the U.S. Air Force Mew Radar Station |
|
||
| there was a target picked up (radar only) in orbit at a range of |
|
||
| 26-30 nautical miles and a bearing of 20-30 degrees. The target |
|
||
| changed to a heading of 23 degrees and was tracked to a range of 54 |
|
||
| nautical miles where it faded. The UFO was climbing on an outbound |
|
||
| course. (Source: Jan Aldrich, Project 1947 Research Notes from |

| Investigations, and others watched six UFOs hover and fly erratically |
|
||
| for 75 minutes. They varied in color and intensity from fiery red to |
|
||
| sparkling diamond white in appearance. They flew erratically up and |
|
||
| down, and were tracked on radar. (Sources: Project Blue Book files |

|
||
| encounter was sent to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA, and the |
|
||
| NSA. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
|

|
||
| chased it for ten kilometers. Some EM effects were noted during the |
|
||
| pursuit. (Sources: Fate Magazine, December 1956, p. 11; APRO |

|
||
| ellipsoidal UFO low over the shore, just five meters from the ground, |
|
||
| and 100 meters away. Its circular main body had a curved window and |
|
||
| was surmounted by a small tower. The craft shot a greenish-yellow |
|
||
| beam at the ground. Plants and stones vanished from a four-meter |
|
||
| square area. (Source: Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 |

|
||
| 30 feet long, 15 feet high, and had "human-like figures moving about |
|
||
| inside the machine." Three witnesses in a car and two in a truck |
|
||
| encountered a disc-shaped UFO between Metan and Salta, Argentina. The |
|
||
| disc was 150 meters in diameter, and flew just 50 meters above the |
|
||
| truck. The truck engine caught on fire. (Sources: (1) John Keel, |

|
||
| descended into a garden of the Gualberto family in Familia Sagrada, |
|
||
| Minas Gerais State, Brazil at 7:15 p.m. There were four seated |
|
||
| figures inside, who wore divers suits with transparent fishbowl |
|
||
| helmets. One entity, a Cyclops being over eight-feet tall with a |
|
||
| single eye, floated down to the ground on two vertical beams of |
|
||
| light. He walked with a strange, swinging motion, then sat down. He |
|
||
| wore high boots that left a triangular imprint, and carried a box |
|
||
| emitting flashes. It spoke in an unintelligible language, and made a |
|
||
| threatening gesture at the two boys, aged 9 and 11, and then flew up |
|
||
| to the sphere, which left. The chlldren somehow became convinced that |
|
||
| the being was "good" and would return. The encounter lasted ten |
|
||
| minutes, with ground traces from the footprints left behind. |

|
||
| sighted nine UFOs flying at treetop level over a field. The objects |
|
||
| flew in three groups of three, and passed about 400 feet away from |
|
||
| them. They appeared to be black domes with straight silver fuselages |
|
||
| and an upright fin. They made a buzzing sound. (Source: Raymond E. |

| |
|
||
| 1968 - At 7:30 p.m. Pedro Aylagas Galvez saw a lighted object in his |
|
||
| field in Ucero, Soria, Spain that descended 500 meters away and |
|
||
| emitted a beam of light directed upward. It then made a strange, |
|
||
| abrupt maneuver, and then shone its light at him, hitting him in the |
|
||
| face and blinding him and also making his hair stand on end. The |
|
||
| object descended in a spinning motion, stabilized, and displayed four |
|
||
| large windows on top with four smaller ones underneath. As he |
|
||
| watched, he saw four “small dark objects” ejected from its central |
|
||
| part, which landed on the ground. After about a minute these arose |
|
||
| and re-entered the hovering UFO, which then ascended and disappeared |
|
||
| in seconds. The entire incident lasted about seven minutes. Others |
|
||
| independently reported seeing the object depart. (Source: |

| |
|
||
| 1969 - In a rural area of Burscough, Lancashire, England a |
|
||
| motocycle's engine suddenly stopped at 8:30 p.m. The driver then saw |
|

| an yellowish-orange, fuzzy, strawberry-shaped thing hovering over a |
|
||
| nearby field for 15 minutes.His motorcycle functioned normally after |
|
||
| the UFO left. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle |
|

|
||
| 1969 - At 6:20 a.m. a photograph of a disc-shaped object was taken |
|
||
| near Fort Morgan, Colorado 70 miles east of Denver on Interstate 76 |
|
||
| by a man named Vedaa. The photographic negative was submitted to |
|
||
| quantitative, photometric analysis and judged to be genuine. (Source: |

||
| William H. Spaulding, FSR, May 1976, p. 12). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1972 - On this night, at least two witnesses, including a woman named |
|
||
| Benger, had a close encounter with a solid rectangular object with a |
|
||
| dome and landing gear while driving 40 miles north of Pimba, South |
|
||
| Australia. The UFO seen at ground level and made no noise. Another |
|
||
| close encounter with a metallic disc-shaped object occurred at 9:00 |
|
||
| p.m. in Point Elliot, South Australia. (Source: UFO Research South |

| |
|
||
| 1972 - At around 3:00 a.m. Eduardo Dedeu was driving home between |
|
||
| Medanos and Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina when he stopped to |
|
||
| pick up a very tall hitchhiker wearing a coat with the collar turned |
|
||
| up. His chin was much longer than normal. To Dedeu's remarks the |
|
||
| stranger made unintelligible replies. After several miles, his car's |
|
||
| lights went out and Dedeu was obliged to stop. Ahead of him on the |
|
||
| road was what he first took to be an overturned bus, with a large |
|
||
| blue light in the middle and smaller white lights on the sides. When |
|
||
| he got out of the car he was dazzled by a brilliant flash of white |
|
||
| light, accompanied by intense heat; when he could look again he saw |
|
||
| the object, with white lights in its windows, moving leftward. The |
|
||
| hitchhiker was gone, and the passenger door handle was detached, |
|
||
| laying on the floor of the car. (Sources: Jane Thomas, FSR, |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - At 8:55 p.m. a domed disc with portholes, about three times |
|
||
| the apparent size of the Moon, moved over Mont-sur-Marchienne, |
|
||
| Belgium and flew on toward the north-northwest. (Source: Michel |
|
||
| Abrassart, Inforespace, December 1975, p. 29). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - At 7:30 p.m. three witnesses observed an inverted dish-shaped |
|
||
| object that flew over the river in Delta, British Columbia, Canada |
|
||
| and landed 150 feet away in a clearing. It made a buzzing sound on |
|
||
| descent. It had a square dome on top, with red, green, and white |
|
||
| lights, and an exhaust hole that burned two circles in the ground, |
|
||
| 4'6" and 5'6" in diameter. (Sources: Ted R. Phillips, MUFON UFO |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1974 - Another physical traces case occurred on this night at 20:30 |
|
||
| p.m. in Niergnies, Nord, France when a saucer-shaped object with |
|
||
| "arms" came in low over a beet field. Burnt beet plants were found at |
|
||
| the site. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 141; Ted R. |
|
||
| Phillips, Physical Traces Associated with UFO Sightings, case 797). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1975 - In a scrub pine forest near Truro, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, |
|
||
| Lloyd Costa saw two people near a round dome like "tent" in the early |
|
||
| evening. The dome was 20 feet in diameter and only 35 feet away. A |
|
||
| fluorescent blue light came from inside it. He walked away, but then |
|
||
| heard a humming noise and looked back to see that the "tent" was |
|
||
| encircled by multicolored rings. It began to rise and fall, and |
|
||
| luminous portholes were now visible on the craft. A car stopped and |
|
||
| Mr. Elfe, a friend, came through the woods calling for him. He also |
|
||
| saw the UFO. The people near the object were described as resembling |
|
||
| small "puppets," and were surrounded by something gauzy. There was an |
|
||
| almond smell in the air that made Mr. Costa sick. His friend helped |
|
||
| him back to his car. The next day he returned to the spot and found a |
|
||
| circle of approximately 20 6-inch holes. There were also some pieces |
|
||
| of a white woven material, "like spider web, but very strong." The |
|
||
| witness recovered some and took it home. He also took home some of |
|
||
| the trampled pine needles, which still had the almond-like scent. |
|
||
| When he put these in a cardboard box next to some potted plants, the |
|
||
| plants died three days later. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |

||
| |
|
||
| 1977 - A major UFO incident involving 17 police occurred in the |
|
||
| Windermere area of the Cumbria Lake District, England at 12:10 a.m. A |
|
||
| diamond or "kite"-shaped UFO was seen for 20 minutes; it had two |
|
||
| extremely bright lights, and made a faint "purring" sound. There were |
|
||
| multiple independent witnesses. The UFO eventually flew out to sea. |
|
||
| (Source: Gary Heseltine, UFO Magazine (UK), July 2003, p. 8; Nick |
|
||
| Redfern, A Covert Agenda, p. 131). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1977 - At 2:00 a.m. a close encounter occurred in Cogolludo, |
|
||
| Guadalajara, Spain when the main witness, Jaine de Frias Redondo, age |
|
||
| 17, and several of his friends saw a "flattened walnut" UFO. The |
|
||
| inital sighting lasted just a short time, but then the UFO moved away |
|
||
| and hovered over Mount Otero for the next two hours, turning its |
|
||
| lights on and off, with a pulsating white halo. Traces were found: a |
|
||
| two-meter wide circle, and several holes in the ground 8 cm diameter, |
|
||
| and 5 cm deep. (Source: UNICAT, case 444, citing Vicente-Juan |
|
||
| Ballester Olmos, Investigacion OVNI, p. 76). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1977 - Francis Lloyd, age 24, was driving a large truck from |
|
||
| Haverfordwest, Wales; with him was John Dwyer, age 16. Two miles |
|
||
| outside of Carmarthern, on the A48 Highway, they had descended the |
|
||
| Nanticaws Hill grade at 2:30 a.m. and were about to begin to climb |
|
||
| the next hill when, at the bottom of the dip, they saw two tall |
|
||
| humanoid figures standing on the right hand verge near the highway. |
|
||
| The figures were at least seven feet tall, and were reddish orange in |
|
||
| color, as if wearing celluloid suits; they had huge heads that |
|
||
| reminded the witnesses of Guardsmen's Busbies. The figures stood |
|
||
| motionless, facing each other slightly, and appeared to be holding |
|
||
| some sort of object between them. They had chrome or silver-colored |
|
||
| antennae that appeared to come out of their chests and stood as high |
|
||
| as the tops of their heads. The two men drove right on past without |
|
||
| stopping, and although the figures were in view for no more than six |
|
||
| of seven seconds, they were fully lit by the eight headlights of |
|
||
| their large rig. No craft was seen by either man. Three months later, |
|
||
| there was a fatal car accident at the same site, killing four men. |

| 1977 - At 10:00 p.m. a family of three was driving home to |
|
||
| Portoferraio from an outing in Marciano, Livorno, Italy in rainy |
|
||
| weather when their headlights illuminated a strange figure walking by |
|
||
| the side of the road. It looked robot like, had broad shoulders, and |
|
||
| was wearing a golden, glittering, close-fitting coverall outfit and |
|
||
| had a broad brimmed hat, with two antennas on its head. The face |
|
||
| looked like paper mache. They notified the carabinieri, but the |
|
||
| figure had gone before they arrived at the scene. (Source: David F. |

||
| |
|
||
| 1978 - Two witnesses on the 5th floor of an apartment building in |
|
||
| Livorno, Italy were awakened by a buzzing noise. They looked out, and |

||
| Bluff, California. It was solid, smooth, and metallic. It maintained |
|
||
| its distance ahead of their plane for 5-6 seconds, then was |
|
||
| overtaken. Its axis was parallel to the horizon, and it did not |
|
||
| bobble in the plane's turbulence as would a balloon. (Source: UNICAT, |
|

| 1981 - At 9:10 p.m. a 12 meter long, lemon-shaped UFO was seen near |
|
||
| the ground on a farm in Trevelin, Chabut Province, Argentina, |
|
||
| hovering at 2 meters altitude. It had extended thin legs for landing |
|
||
| gear, portholes, and a blindingly bright 1 meter wide searchlight. |
|
||
| The close encounter lasted five minutes. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
|
||
| computer database, case # 14264, citing FSR, volume 28, number 3). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1991 - At 4:42 a.m. a huge, dirigible-shaped object first attracted |
|
||
| the attention of the military when it appeared on their radar screens |
|
||
| over the Mangishlak Peninsula, Shaitan Mazar, Kyrgizstan. It was |
|
||
| flying from west to east at 960 km per hour, and at an altitude of |
|
||
| 6600 meters. Thinking that the object might have been launched from |
|
||
| Kapustin Yar, Mangishlak military personnel contacted the Cosmodrome. |
|
||
| Kapustin denied any knowledge of the object, although they confirmed |
|
||
| its appearance on radar. The object failed to respond to attempts at |
|
||
| communication on any frequency, and since it was flying near a |
|
||
| restricted area, two MIG-29 fighter jets already on patrol were |
|
||
| directed to intercept it. In addition, a third jet was scrambled from |
|
||
| Air Station 7. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| The MIG pilots were directed to intercept the object, to identify it |
|
||
| if possible, to try to make contact with it, and to force it to land |
|
||
| at the nearest Air station. If the object failed to cooperate, they |
|
||
| were directed to shoot it down. The MIGs intercepted the object over |
|
||
| the western shore of the Aral Sea at 5:12 a.m. The pilots observed |
|
||
| the object both visually and on their radar screens, and they |
|
||
| described it as dirigible-shaped, 600 meters long by 110 meters wide, |
|
||
| with very little surface detail except for two round "portholes" near |
|
||
| the front, and some sort of strange green markings near the rear. The |
|
||
| object did not make any hostile moves or react in any way to the |
|
||
| presence of the jets. When all attempts at contacting the object |
|
||
| failed, the squadron leader proposed positioning the jets on either |
|
||
| side of the object at a distance of about 800 meters, and gently but |
|
||
| firmly directing it to the Air Station. If necessary the jets would |
|
||
| fire warning shots to encourage the object to cooperate. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| When the jets were in position around the object and within 800 |
|
||
| meters of it the weapons systems of the MIGs shut down for no |
|
||
| apparent reason. Worse yet, their engines began to malfunction. The |
|
||
| object also began to make evasive zigzag maneuvers, and increased its |
|
||
| speed from 960 km/hour to 6800 km/hour. These maneuvers were verified |
|
||
| by radar at Baikonur, Alma-Alta, and Bishkek. The jets had no |
|
||
| alternative but to back off, and the object proceeded east through |
|
||
| Alma-Alta airspace at the slightly lower altitude of 4500 meters. |
|
||
| Radar dispatchers in Alma-Alta, fearing a collision with conventional |
|
||
| aircraft, issued a general alert for air traffic to avoid the |
|
||
| area. At 5:27 a.m. the object disappeared from radar in the area of |
|
||
| Lake Issyk-Kul near the border of Kazakhstan. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| A month later reports began to trickle back to Bishkek that a huge |
|
||
| UFO had been seen to crash into the Tien Shan Mountains, 100 |
|
||
| kilometers east of Przhevalsk near a peak known as Pik Pobeda (Peak |
|
||
| of Victory). The actual site lay in a gorge known as "Shaitan Mazar" |
|
||
| or "Grave of the Devil", near the Saris Dzas River. A search party |
|
||
| led by Michael Eltchin was dispatched, but were unable to reach the |
|
||
| site due to heavy snowfall. In June 1992 a second expedition was |
|
||
| mounted, consisting of three groups of volunteers with |
|
||
| both scientific backgrounds and mountain climbing experience. The |
|
||
| expedition arrived at the actual crash site on June 12, 1992, and set |
|
||
| up a base camp 2.5 km away to the northwest. It was evident that the |
|
||
| object had slid 1700 meters after hitting the ground. It then |
|
||
| exploded from within its center, blasting it into almost two equal |
|
||
| parts and bending its internal structure outwards from the center of |
|
||
| the explosion. Decks and interior features were visible inside the |
|
||
| object through a gap made by the blast. The expedition then noticed |
|
||
| several unusual effects when they began to examine the object. They |
|
||
| were unable to photograph the object because some sort of radiation |
|
||
| exposed all their film and ruined all videotape. Whenever a member of |
|
||
| the party got closer than 800 meters to the object, he began to feel |
|
||
| unusual anxiety, depression, and exhaustion. Within 800 meters, the |
|
||
| men's hair stood on end. Instruments showed an unusually high level |
|
||
| of static electricity in the air, and compasses and magnetometers |
|
||
| failed to function properly in the vicinity of the object. |
|
||
| Measurement devices registered no magnetic fields at all within an |
|
||
| elliptically shaped area centered on the object, and measuring 2230 |
|
||
| meters long and 1700 meters wide. Even naturally occurring magnetic |
|
||
| rocks displayed no magnetic field within this ellipse. All clocks and |
|
||
| wristwatches stopped working at a distance of 600 meters from the |
|
||
| object. Furthermore, anyone who approached within 500 meters of the |
|
||
| object began to suffer from some sort of radiation burns. The |
|
||
| expedition soon had to abandon the site, but planned to return at |
|
||
| some indefinite time in the future. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1991 |

| 2009 - In Apolda, Thuringen, Germany 12-year-old Natali was woke up |
|
||
| by her little brother at around 3:00 a.m. because he wanted help |
|
||
| going to the bathroom. After returning to her bedroom, she heard a |
|
||
| cat meowing outdoors, so she went out onto her patio. She next heard |
|
||
| a deep humming, vibrating sound, and looking up she saw through the |
|
||
| transparent sky-roof window a large shiny circular flying object, |
|
||
| which flew off towards some nearby woods and then came back to hover |
|
||
| over her house. Scared, she ran to her bedroom and hid under some |
|
||
| blankets. However, the craft then shone a bright beam of light into |
|
||
| her room through her window. She saw a short Grey humanoid, with a |
|
||
| huge hairless head and large almond-shaped eyes, peering in the |
|
||
| window at her. The creature had no lips and only a small slit for a |
|
||
| mouth, it also had a very thin neck. She estimated it to be the same |
|
||
| height as her four-year-old brother. When the figure became aware |
|
||
| that the girl had seen it, it quickly disappeared from view, and in |
|
||
| the next few moments the circular craft disappeared over some nearby |
|
||
| trees. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 2009 Humanoid Sighting Reports |
