|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  March 2 |
| |
| 1955 - At 3:00 p.m. MST a hovering, rectangular-shaped object was |
| seen rocking in the sky over Tucson, Arizona. One hour later, at |
| about 5:00 p.m. CST, a car driving ten miles north of Huntley, |
| Illinois was followed for ten minutes by three elongated "balloons." |
| The objects were each about seven meters long and showed eight red |
| lights. (Sources: Project Blue Book; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia, A Century of Landings, p. 249 case 362). |
| |
| 1957 - At 8:15 a.m. a small metallic disc flew over some gardens in |
| Kyoto, Japan at a low altitude. It then made a fast exit at a sharp |
| angle up into the sky. (Source: Loren E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of |
| the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1957: January-March 22, p. 60). |
| |
| 1958 - At 7:45 p.m. a man observed a balloon-shaped object land on |
| the airfield in Tampa, Florida and then take off slowly and hover at |
| 250 meters altitude before disappearing. It had a bright light source |
| on it. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, case 461). |
| |
| 1959 - A six-meter in diameter disc hovered 60 meters over a quarry |
| in Mount Airy, North Carolina at 7:30 p.m. It had body lights and was |
| witnessed by two children. The sighting lasted about two minutes. |
| (Source: Loren E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: |
| A History. 1959: January-March, p. 72). |
| |
| 1960 - Mr. Schedelbauer, a 36-year-old newsman, was driving his car |
| near Labuttendorf, Austria at 1:30 a.m. when he had a close encounter |
| with a round, glowing aerial object. He was able to take a photograph |
| of the luminous UFO, but he also received burns on his face and hands |
| from the encounter. (Sources: Waveney Girvan, Flying Saucer Review, |
| July-August 1960, p. 16; NICAP UFO Investigator, March-April 1960, p. |
| 3; George D. Fawcett, Flying Saucers, September 1961, p. 48). |
| |
| 1964 - An elongated, silver object was seen hovering in the sky for |
| two minutes over Grassmere, South Australia. (Source: Flying Saucers, |
| January-February 1966, p. 53). |
| |
| 1965 - At 1:55 p.m. John F. Reeves, a retired 65 year old, was |
| hunting for snakes in the woods in Brooksville, Florida when he |
| observed a reddish-purple saucer-shaped object on the ground. It was |
| 30 feet in diameter and 6-7 feet thick, and stood on four legs, with |
| a clear dome on top and a row of vanes like an outer rim around the |
| circumference. It also had a set of stairs. He crept to within 100 |
| feet, and after watching it for 10 minutes he saw a robot-like being, |
| about five feet tall, wearing a silver one-piece uniform with a |
| transparent "fishbowl" helmet. His hands were gloved and he wore |
| metallic looking boots. His eyes were set far apart and he had a |
| pointed chin. The being walked walked to the craft, then returned |
| with a box that emitted two bright flashes when pointed at the |
| witness; Reeves took it to be somekind of camera. The humanoid then |
| re-entered the craft by walking up a small retractable stairway, and |
| the object rose vertically with a whistling noise. Reeves found at |
| the site many dumbbell-shaped footprints, and four roughly |
| equidistant 6 inch holes, left by the landing gear. There were also |
| two folded sheets of thin tissue like paper that bore messages |
| written in an unknown alphabet. Reeves subsequently had further |
| sightings and contacts. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, March-April 1965, |

| |
| 1966 - Two years later two silver metallic objects chased an airplane |
| near an aerodrome in Harlin, Queensland, Australia at 10:30 p.m. The |
| UFOs then moved back and forth in the sky, vanished and reappeared, |
| cruised around the sky lazily, and then vanished. (Source: Michael |
| Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 152). |
| |
| 1966 - A woman watched a flashing light the sky two miles east of |
| Roosevelt, Utah on this evening at 7 p.m. It stood still for 15 |
| minutes, then shot straight up in the sky at high speed and was gone. |

| |
| 1967 - Two to four silver lights or disc-shaped objects flew over |
| White Sands, New Mexico at 10:25 a.m. and were detected on radar at |
| an altitude of seven kilometers. They circled the White Sands missile |
| base and flew away toward the east. They flew at an estimated speed |
| of 2,000 mph. Several silver discs with green glowing bottoms were |
| sighted by a separate observer in Las Cruces, New Mexico at 11:30 |
| a.m. (Source: APRO Bulletin, Volume 15, No. 5; El Paso Times, March |
| 5, 1967; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume 2: A Thirty Year |

| |
| 1967 - That night in Patterson, Arkansas at 9:30 p.m. a man witnessed |
| a UFO with red lights hovering over some homes, and then move away. |
| Dogs were barking at the time. Two hours later in Piggot, Arkansas, |
| which is five miles to the northwest of Patterson, two high school |
| teachers witnessed four lights in the sky. The first hovered at |
| treetop level, then was joined by the second light, followed by two |
| more. The four objects maneuvered about in different directions, |
| hovered, and then flew away. (Source: NICAP files, citing Memphis |
| Press, March 4, 1967). |
| |
| 1968 - A huge saucer moved up and down in the sky over Kampung |
| Kermat, Malaysia at three o'clock in the afternoon, flashing a bright |
| light. It left a slight smoke trail visible and made a humming sound. |
| It was visible for four minutes before it climbed into the clouds. |
| (Source: FSR, July-August 1968, p. 34). |
| |
| 1968 - At noon two people took a photograph of a UFO in Neenah, |
| Wisconsin. That same day three women in Randlett, Utah watched a |
| round, shiny silver objects maneuvering in the sky through |
| binoculars. (Sources: Allen Utke investigation files, case 47; Frank |
| B. Salisbury, The Utah UFO Display, case A63). |
| |
| 1970 - On this night a domed disc UFO looking like the "scoutship" |
| described by UFO contactee George Adamski (and widely believed to be |
| a hoaxed photograph by him) descended in a back-and-forth motion in |
| Falkenberg, Sweden and was seen by several witnesses. The object had |
| two antennae, and TV interference was noted in the area at the time. |
| The sighting lasted 25 minutes. (Source: Sven-Olof Fredrickson, FSR, |
| July-August 1970, p. 31). |
| |
| 1971 - At 7:45 p.m. a disc-shaped UFO, illuminated green from the |
| inside, flew low and fast over the town of Vannes, France shooting |
| off toward the north. One hour later a large bluish-green top-shaped |
| UFO, surrounded by a glowing aura, was seen in Dorking, England. |
| Inside the object was a red ball, which twisted and turned, shooting |
| off sparks. It flew in a straight path to the west, but at one point |
| completely vanished. There were five witnesses total, including |
| independent witnesses. (Sources: Jean-F Boedec, Les OVNI en Bretagne: |
| Anatomie d'un Phenomene, p. 65; Mrs. K. Smith, BUFORA Journal, August |
| 1971, p. 25, citing the Dorking Investigator). |
| |
| 1971 - In Chapelle-lez-Herlaimont, Belgium at 7:40 p.m. several |
| people witnessed a silent, delta-shaped object fly low over Route E41 |
| toward the southwest. Five minutes later in Nivelles, Belgium a long |
| cigar-shaped UFO with two tail fins and red lights front and aft, |
| with white lights on top of each of the two fins, was seen for 30 |
| minutes. In La Louviere, Belgium at 7:50 p.m. a dark rectangular UFO |
| with a triangle of lights moved slowly and silently through the sky. |
| It turned in flew toward the north-northwest. In Nivelles, Belgium |
| again at 8:05 p.m. a nocturnal light swung in a pendulum motion over |
| a major highway intersection. (Source: Michel Bougard, Inforespace, |
| February 1975, pp. 22-24). |
| |
| 1975 - In the Golfo San Matias, Argentina north of the Valdez |
| Peninsula, a group of men on a fishing boat saw a bright light with a |
| definite form behind it moved horizontally through the evening sky at |
| a low altitude. It came from the Patagonian mesa flying out to sea |
| and made a loud buzzing sound. It stopped in the air, and dived under |
| the sea. (Source: Wendelle C. Stevens, Saga UFO Report, March 1977, |
| p. 39). |
| |
| 1975 - At eight p.m. that same evening in Elmwood, Wisconsin a UFO |
| attempted to land in front of a car with the Forster family inside, |
| while the children in the car screamed. The UFO was a disc the size |
| of a car, white in color with lights all around it, and sticklike |
| legs or landing gear. In their panic they repeatedly honked their car |
| horn, which alerted farmer Roger Weber, who came out of his farmhouse |
| and guided the family home. The UFO flew off. (Source: Jay Rath, The |
| W-Files: True Reports of Wisconsin's Unexplained Phenomena, p. 67). |
| |
| 1976 - At 8:10 p.m. a silver box, about five meters in diameter, flew |
| low over the trees in Theville, France. Two men, Messrs. Leveziel and |
| Mahaut witnessed the UFO, which was described as having 30 round |
| holes on each side. It flew off toward the northwest. (Source: |

| Alvaro, age 20, was abducted aboard a UFO and had a forced sexual |
| encounter with a tall female UFO crew member. As in the famous |
| Antonio Villas Boas abduction, he was rubbed down with a sponge and |
| an apparent disinfectant liquid before sex. The woman was described |
| as a tall, human-like female with protuberant eyes, who made groaning |
| noises during sex. He described the UFO as spherical and blue in |
| color. (Sources: Xenolog, March 1978, p. 19; Thomas E. Bullard, UFO |

| in Highland, Illinois a married couple in their mid-fifties were |
| driving down a rural road when they sighted a vertical, oval-shaped |
| UFO that moved over the road. They drove to within 30 feet of it in |
| their truck when the object jumped over their truck and bathed it in |
| a white beam of light. After two minutes the couple drove away. |
| (Sources: Mike Baker, MUFON investigation files, case #900503; Don |
| Krieger, MUFON investigation files, case #900419). |
