|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  March 3 |
| |
| 1950 - At Selfridge AFB in Macomb County, Michigan two radars tracked |
| an unusual object in the sky at 11:10 p.m. whose presence was |
| confirmed with a visual sighting by a witness named Mattson. The UFO |
| was visible for four minutes and made wide swings and abrupt turns. |
| (Source: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case |
| 650; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: January-March, p. 28). |
| |
| 1953 - A USAF F-84 fighter jet flying out of Luke AFB near Quartzite, |
| Arizona filmed 30 feet of 16mm gun camera film that showed a cigar or |
| fuselage-shaped object with a long contrail in a clear sky. The |
| length of the object was estimated to be 100 meters, and the duration |
| of the sighting was seven minutes. Project Blue Book lists the |
| explanation as aircraft, but UFO investigators Richard Hall and |
| Jacques Vallee didn't agree with the interpretation. (Sources: |
| Project Blue Book Report #11, May 1953; Edward J. Ruppelt, Report on |
| Unidentified Flying Objects, p. 229; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence |
| (Volume I), p. 42). |
| |
| 1961 - A white spherical UFO with a metallic luster was seen during |
| the day flying over Manly, New South Wales, Australia. At 10:45 p.m. |
| a father and son were camping near a lake at Bowna Hume Weir, New |
| South Wales when they saw a disc-shaped UFO with four windows on the |
| ground not far away. Four humanoid figures could be seen between the |
| object and a nearby fire. Their encounter lasted 45 minutes. |

| Bill Chalker & Keith Basterfield, Australian Catalogue of Close |
| Encounter Type Three Reports, p. 11). |
| |
| 1966 - Several civilians in Oswego, New York reported that an object |
| that flew toward the south slowly, hovered, and then came within 15 |
| meters of them. It finally flew off toward the southwest. (Source: |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case |
| 728). |
| |
| 1967 - Seven white lights flew in formation from north to south over |
| Chicago Heights, Illinois at around 8 p.m. They changed color to |
| orange and then to red just before fading from sight. They also |

| 1967). |
| |
| 1967 - A group of high school students came upon two glowing pyramid |
| shaped objects sitting in the middle of the road in Plantation, |

| |
| 1967 - Mr. and Mrs. Fellows were driving toward Centre Sandwich, New |
| Hampshire around midnight when they saw an illuminated clam-shaped |
| object going up and down in the sky "like a yo-yo" near Red Hill. It |
| was turning from white to greenish blue, and followed their car for |
| 20 minutes until they reached Route 113. It left to the northeast. |
| They reported feeling several "pinging" electric discharges as it |
| left, and their dog was very nervous during the observation. It made |
| an electric motor sound. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, April |
| 1967, p. 6; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, case 821). |
| |
| 1968 - A lawyer's home in Castelar, Argentina was flooded by a bright |
| blue light at 12:45 a.m., and their TV set went blank. A thunderous |
| roar like a jet aircraft flying close by was heard next, and a ball |
| of light was seen shooting off at a dizzying speed. (Source: Oscar A. |
| Uriondo, FSR Case Histories, August 1973, p. 10). |
| |
| 1969 - On or before this date a 100-foot long noiseless metallic |
| craft was observed in the sky over Glens Falls, New York. According |
| to the newspaper account, the UFO's crew of four men and one woman |
| were also seen onboard. (Source: Richard Bonenfant, Proceedings of |
| the CUFOS Conference: 1976, p. 48, citing Albany Knickerbocker). |
| |
| 1972 - At around one o'clock in the morning police officer Williams |
| of Loveland, Ohio slowed his patrol car when he saw what looked like |
| a dog by the side of the road. It stood up, and was tail-less |
| creature with leather like skin and a face like a frog or a lizard, 3 |
| or 4 ft tall. It leaped over the guardrail and went down the |
| embankment to the river. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1972-38 (A1143), citing |
| Richard Mackey & Ron Schaffner). |
| |
| 1973 - Around noon in Kampala, Uganda on the shore of Lake Victoria |
| President Idi Amin and his entourage saw a UFO land and then take off |
| again like a "gentle rocket." The UFO was surrounded by "something |
| like smoke." (Source: APRO Bulletin, January-February 1973, p. 10, |
| citing UPI, March 5, 1973). |
| |
| 1974 - A delta-shaped object made complex light signals from both |
| leading edges of the UFO was 6:30 a.m. in Avion, France. According to |
| the witness named Dejaeger, the object than shrank in size to a dot |
| in the sky. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 143). |
| |
| 1975 - Four photographs were taken of two luminous balls, |
| approximately 0.35 meters in diameter, over a hedge in Montsireigne, |

| |
| 1976 - At four o'clock in the afternoon a 12-year-old boy named Ojeda |
| saw a 40-foot in diameter shiny disc in a clearing in the forest in |
| Refrigerio, Brazil. It sat upon some type of metallic platform. Two |
| beings in shiny suits, less than five feet tall, were seen outside |
| making repairs. Blinded by a flash of intense light, he was captured |
| and taken aboard the craft. The beings communicated with the boy |
| using telepathy, and gave him a physical exam on an exam table. He |
| had skin burns resulting from the flash of light. (Source: David F. |
| Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| A1465, citing Gray Barker, UFO Report, June 1977, p. 37). |
| |
| 1976 - Three hours after the abduction of the 12-year-old in Brazil, |
| a luminous green sphere with a luminous tail nearly collided with a |
| French Air Force T-33 jet over Tours, France. The UFO climbed |
| vertically, levelled out, came at the aircraft, and the two-meter |
| wide sphere passed within 30 cm when it passed over the right wing. |
| It didn't show up at all on radar. (Source: Dominique Weinstein, |
| Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 40). |
| |
| 1980 - Four family members of a family in Buen Consejo, Rio Piedras, |
| Puerto Rico were awakened at midnight by noises on their patio where |
| they kept caged rabbits. When they looked out they were stunned to |
| see five strange looking beings inspecting the cages. Two of the |
| beings were five feet tall and the others were three tall and more |
| heavy-set. The tall thin creatures wore brown one-piece brown |
| outfits, and had grayish skin with large ears, large eyes, and large |
| flat noses with large thick lips. Their fingers were large and were |
| connected by a thin membrane. Both carried a bright metallic-looking |
| sphere in their right hands. The smaller beings were similar in |
| appearance, except they had large bright medallions hanging from |
| their necks and belts. A fifth witness later saw the same five beings |
| enter a landed disc-shaped craft on a roadway near the village. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1980, case # |

| ascended and descended over Sandy, Oregon at 8:55 p.m. (Source: Paul |

| |
| 1992 - At 6:40 p.m. in Warner, New Hampshire a mother and her son, |
| age 10, saw lights in the sky when they turned a corner in the road. |
| They stopped the car and went into a field to get a better view. They |
| saw a white triangular UFO flying through the sky, making a whirring |
| sound. They continued to watch until the object passed behind and was |
| hidden by some nearby trees. (Source: MUFON investigation case files, |
| case no. 960507S). |
| |
| 1992 - Thirty minutes later in the same county, the same or a similar |
| triangular object flew over nearby Bradford, New Hampshire . It had |
| multi-colored lights and made a humming sound. That evening there |
| were other UFO sightings in Salisbury, and Claremont, New Hampshire. |
| At 7:50 p.m. a huge triangle with pulsating bluish-white lights was |
| seen by a Mr. Cross flying just over the treetops along Rte 3-A near |
| the I-93 overpass in Concord, Merrimack County, New Hampshire. He |
| stopped his car and watched as the UFO flew overhead during a |
| snowstorm, making a sound like increasing rain on a canvas tent. |
