|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  January 8 |
| |
| 1943 In the late afternoon in Chauny, France many people witnessed |
| several small brilliant metallic objects fly silently from the north |
| to the south in groups of three. The UFOs moved faster than balloons, |
| and the procession lasted for a period of two and a half hours. |
| (Source: Richard Hall, From Airships to Arnold: A Preliminary |
| Catalogue of UFO Reports in the Early 20th Century (1900-1946), p. |
| 20). |
| |
| 1951 A group of three delta-shaped objects with wingspans of 15 |
| flew over US Highway 81 south of Forth Worth, Texas at 10:45 p.m. One |
| passed overhead at a low altitude, and made a faint humming sound. |
| (Source: US Air Force Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics case 864). |
| |
| 1956 At nine oclock in the morning on Robertson Island, Antarctica |
| a photograph was taken by the Chilean Antarctic Expedition of two |
| cigar-shaped objects, hanging in a vertical position in the sky for |
| 64 minutes. The objects were estimated to be 150 meters in length, |
| and their presence was reportedly confirmed by radar. They shot away |
| at an estimated speed of 40,000 kilometers per hour. (Source: Gordon |
| Creighton, Flying Saucer Review, March-April 1968, p. 20). |
| |
| 1959 Shortly after nine a.m. on a clear day two MEc employee in |
| Hobart, Tasmania saw a 2.7-meter long object disappear between |
| buildings. Three more were seen in the sky and a fifth object shaped |
| like an inverted skittle with a ball handle dove in the River |
| Derwent. (Source: J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies case files, |
| report dated January 21, 1959 citing USAF). |
| |
| 1969 A humanoid was spotted making repairs on a hovering |
| disc-shaped craft for twenty minutes at ten p.m. in Edina, Missouri. |
| He looked surprised when he saw the witness. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case 8705 citing APRO Bulletin January-February |
| 1971). |
| |
| 1971 At 3:00 a.m. in Dumfries, Scotland a Mrs. Bunn sighted a |
| white, bowl-shaped saucer hovering in the sky. The object was |
| absolutely silent and moved back and forth in a small area of the |
| sky. (Source: newspaper clipping dated January 9, 1971). |
| |
| 1971 At noon at Tafi Viejo, Argentina in the State of Tucuman two |
| men in their thirties sighted a 3-meter in diameter Saturn-shaped |
| saucer with two antennae. The UFO landed 30 meters away from them in |
| a field of maize. It made a whistling sound as it took off and sped |
| away. A tree in the vicinity subsequently died. (Source: Phenomenes |
| Spatiaux, September 1971, p. 33). |
| |
| 1972 A short humanoid being in the middle of the road attempted to |
| stop a truck in Camas, Spain (Sevilla Province) at 9:35 p.m. When the |
| truck driver refused to stop the being jumped into a nearby ditch. |
| (Source: Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO |
| Events in Spain and Portugal, case 153 citing Manuel Osuna Llorente). |
| |
| 1972 On the same night a fifteen year old boy named Skiver took a |
| night time photograph of a hovering UFO in Beckemeyer, Illinois at |
| about ten p.m. (Source: newspaper clipping dated May 31, 1972). |
| |
| 1973 In Ellenboro, North Carolina a teenager named Gowen noticed |
| his radio making a strange static noise. He looked outside and saw a |
| one-foot wide box in his yard moving very slowly at a few feet above |
| the ground. The snow on the ground in the area beneath the UFO had |
| melted, and a greenish gunk was found on the ground. (Source: George |
| D. Fawcett case files). |
| |
| 1974 - After leaving his job in Springfield, Ohio Mr. Justice, age |
| 50, experienced the failure of his car lights and engine at 3:13 a.m. |
| He then saw multicolored blinking lights descend just meters in front |
| of his car, followed by the appearance of a blinding white oval of |
| light approximately six feet in diameter, apparently showing the |
| interior of a UFO. He could see five small occupants within, seated |
| on high backed chairs and wearing bright colored robes. Each had very |
| long brown hair that reached almost to the floor. They appeared to be |
| three to four feet tall, but the witness could not recall their |
| facial features. The UFO brightly illuminated the surrounding terrain |
| and his car's interior. After five minutes the interior light went |
| out and the UFO ascended rapidly with another display of |
| multicolored, flashing lights. A maintenance man on the workplace |
| premises had noticed a failure of his "pager" radio four times |
| between seven and eight o'clock earlier that evening although no UFOs |
| were seen. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1974-2; citing Leonard |
| Stringfield for CUFOS; J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies case |
| files, report dated July 9, 1974). |
| |
| 1974 At 7:40 a.m. three men driving on a highway south of |
| Enterprise, California saw a steady white light come down vertically |
| from the sky. They said that it appeared to land some place near the |
| Pacheco School in Shasta County. (Source: Redding Record Searchlight, |
| January 11, 1974). |
| |
| 1974 - On this afternoon In Zafferana, Italy a woman was working |
| alone in a small room of her house when she felt a strong rush of |
| wind. She turned around and was confronted by a very bright light, |
| within the light she was able to see a tall man wearing a |
| tight-fitting coverall outfit with gold colored boots. He had short |
| light hair, light skin and large almond-shaped eyes. The witness was |
| not frightened and said she felt a sudden sense of joy and peace. The |
| man smiled and suddenly vanished in a flash of light.
| |
| Perhaps a coincidence, but on this date in both of the years 1974 and |
| 1975 a cattle mutilation report and a humanoid report occurred within |
| the same 24-hour period. |
| (Source: Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1974, case # 559, citing Angel |
| Franchetto, Los Extraterrestres y Nuestro Futuro). |
| |
| 1974 A cattle mutilation was reported in McPherson County, Kansas. |
| (Source: Jerome Clark, Fate, August 1974, p. 79). |
| |
| 1975 A cattle mutilation was reported to have occurred on this day |
| in rural Texas. At 11:30 p.m. near a power station in Brookby, New |
| Zealand a man and a woman saw an occupant inside a small domed |
| disc-shaped UFO. (Sources: J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies case |
| files, newspaper clipping dated February 7, 1975; FSR, October 1976, |
| p. 30 citing Spaceview). |
| |
| 1979 At three oclock in the morning in Tunis, Tunisia a group of |
| people witnessed a small disc, about 1.5 meters in size, hovering |
| near a lake for 10 minutes. It then shot away and was gone in a split |
| second. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, February 1979) |
| |
| 1979 At 5:30 p.m. in San Croce SullArno in the Tuscany region of |
| Italy a 40-meter wide domed disc with an antenna flew over a farm at |
| only ten meters above the ground. The farm animals were panicked and |
| a tree bent over as the object passed. (Source: Maurizio Verga, |
| ITACAT Italian UFO catalogue). |
| |
| 1979 In Rome City, Indiana at eight oclock in the evening two |
| people sighted a 15-foot long cylinder at a low altitude near a |
| school. The UFO had an intense light, and shot away at a high speed |
| after five minutes. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, December 1979). |
| |
| 1981 Perhaps the best documented and most thoroughly investigated |
| case of physical effects from a UFO occurred on this day in |
| Trans-en-Provence, France. At five p.m. Mr. Nicolai, a gardener, saw |
| a metallic disc-shaped object making a whistling sound land hard in a |
| garden. It was estimated to be eight feet by six feet in size, and |
| had four openings on the underside. It also had a thick band around |
| the middle section of the object. The case quickly came to the |
| attention of the police and was soon investigated by GEPAN, the |
| French governments scientific team of UFO investigators. The |
| physical traces included evidence of vegetation and soil heating, |
| skid marks, and circular ground marks. The chemical analysis revealed |
| that the soil had been heated to temperatures not in excess of 600 |
| degrees Celsius. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Confrontations: A |
| Scientists Search for Alien Contact, p. 104). |

| 1981 At 11:00 p.m. on a boat near Flinders Island, Tasmania two men |
| saw two nocturnal lights exchange light beams. The sea was |
| illuminated by the UFO display, and the batteries on board the boat |
| were found to be dead. (Source: UFO Research Australia Newsletter, |
| May 1982, p. 7 citing Tasmania UFO Investigation Centre, report dated |
| March 6, 1982). |
| |
| 1984 At 3:00 a.m. EST in the witnesss bedroom in Framingham, |
| Massachusetts a short humanoid pointed a beam at the witness in bed. |
| The witness felt that the being could telepathically read her mind. |
| When the being had left a three-foot long by 18" cylinder shot |
| straight up into the sky outside. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, August |
| 1991). |
| |
| 1984 Seventy-five minutes later, at 3:15 a.m. CST, on Interstate 80 |
| three people driving in a van outside Cozad, Nebraska saw a 100-foot |
| diameter disc hover 80 feet over the highway. It was blazingly |
| brilliant and had more than 15 colored circular lights around the |
| rim. They heard an intermittent beeping on the van's CB radio. |
| (Source: International UFO Reporter, March 1984, p. 10). |
| |
| 1987 A couple in Lakeland, Florida reported a large vertical |
| cylinder in the sky over their house on this night. (Source: Timothy |
| Good, The UFO Report 1990, p. 198). |
| |
| 1995 At around nine oclock in the evening a house located between |
| the Yatzitz and Yaziv communities in Israel shook as if an earthquake |
| was happening. The occupants of the residence saw a three-meter tall |
| creature with long legs and no arms outside. (Source: Joseph Trainor, |
| UFO Roundup website, volume 1 number 4). |
| |
| 1997 On this night in Ixtapalapa, Mexico a 53-year-old woman awoke |
| to find three short dwarfs cavorting about her bedroom while she was |
| unable to move. After ten minutes they disappeared in a bright blue |
| flash of light. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
| 1997 citing Contacto OVNI). |
| |
| 2003 At 10:21 a.m. a triangular craft with a light on each corner |
| hovered silently over Dardanelle, Arkansas. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
| National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). |
| |
| 2003 At 3:30 p.m. a reflective metallic craft was sighting high in |
| the sky over the mountains in Santa Barbara, California and at 10:00 |
| p.m. in Union City, California a UFO was seen entering a triangular |
| shaped light. The light then pinched shut and vanished. (Source: |
| Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). |
