|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  March 8 |
| |
| 1949 - A silent greenish-white object was sighted in the sky near the |
| Los Alamos Atomic Energy research facility in New Mexico. It flew |
| toward the southeast at the altitude of the cloud layer, and was seen |
| by guards Patterson and Lang from two guard stations: 103 and 106. |
| (Source: Loren Gross, UFOs a History - 1949 (volume 1), p. 57; |
| Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, March 1949 |
| report). |
| |
| 1950 - A Naval commander sighted a UFO in the sky over Mazatlan, |
| Mexico which he described as an "artificial device." At five o'clock |
| in the morning the crew of two airliners, the Air Traffic Controller, |
| and many other ground witnesses at Vandalia Airport, Ohio sighted a |
| bullet-shaped UFO being chased by military jets. The UFO ascended |
| very fast. (Source: Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence (Volume I), p. |
| 84). |
| |
| 1954 - A red disc-shaped UFO flew over the Laredo Air Force Base in |
| Laredo, Texas on this day. It tilted to a vertical orientation and |
| then shot straight up into the sky. It was reported by a pilot at the |
| base. At 11:07 p.m. ten to twenty nocturnal lights in a crescent |
| formation--possibly a single crescent-shaped object--flew over San |
| Antonio, Texas. It made no sound. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, May 1954; |
| Donald E. Keyhoe, The Flying Saucer Conspiracy, p. 110). |
| |
| 1957 - A pilot saw a circular object flying against the wind in |
| Baudette, Minnesota. It was luminous, about 5.5 meters in diameter, |
| and flew so low that it appeared to suck up the snow on the ground. |
| (Sources: Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying Saucers Top Secret; Jacques |
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia, p. 254). |
| |
| 1965 - At 7:40 p.m. three persons in Mount Airy, Maryland, including |
| an instrument maker for the U.S. Bureau of Standards, saw a |
| cigar-shaped object with six lights--two of them fixed red lights. |
| It flew above them at a low altitude, and avoided hitting their house |
| at the last moment. It was lost from sight in the northeast. The |
| duration of the event was three minutes. (Sources: Project Blue Book |
| files counted in official statistics, case # 9305; NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, May-June 1965, p. 4; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 640; J. Allen Hynek, The UFO |
| Experience, p. 238; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 144; Don |
| Berliner, Australasian Ufologist, April 1999, p. 52). |
| |
| 1966 - A retired Marine Corps aircraft mechanic saw a domed |
| disc-shaped UFO hover over Chesterton, Indiana at 2:30 in the |
| afternoon. The UFO was surrounded by a bright, misty haze, and |
| hovered above a cloud bank for 4-5 minutes. It then tilted at an |
| angle and shot away. (Source: Gordon I.R. Lore, Jr., UFOs: A New |
| Look, p. 46). |

| 1967 - There were at least 27 UFO reports made on this day from |
| Australia, Spain, North America, and Peru. |
| |
| Leominster, Massachusetts Close Encounter with EM Effects - 1967 |
| |
| [] |
| |
| 1967 - Mr. and Mrs. Wallace were driving in Leominster, Massachusetts |
| at 1:05 in the morning when they noticed an unusual light flying over |
| a nearby cemetery. They drove closer to investigate and saw the UFO |
| surrounded by a heavy fog or mist. They described the object as a |
| bright bluish-white, glowing dome-shaped object that was hovering low |
| to the ground with a rocking, pendulum motion. The rim of the object |
| glowed as bright as an acetylene torch. The car's engine, lights, and |
| radio failed. Mr. Wallace got out of the car and felt his arm tugged |
| by some force against the body of the car. He felt tingling electric |
| shocks and felt paralyzed in close presence to the object. The UFO |
| wobbled, hummed, and then shot up vertically into sky. (Source: |
| Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 345; NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, March 1967, p. 7; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence Volume |
| 2: A Thirty Year Report, pp. 199, 250, 267 & 331). |
| |
| 1967 - That night in Galesburg, Illinois a domed disc-shaped object |
| with a spinning rim and a pulsating red light passed overhead, making |
| a hissing sound. (Sources: NICAP case investigation files; John A. |
| Keel, Operation Trojan Horse, p. 24; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence |
| Volume 2: A Thirty Year Report, p. 10). |
| |
| 1967 - Also that same night an elongated flying object with flashing |
| body lights and light beams at each end was reported by multiple |
| independent witnesses in Goodland, Kansas. The UFO reportedly made a |
| sound "like a vacuum cleaner." (Sources: Norton (Kansas) Daily |
| Telegram, March 1967; John A. Keel, Operation Trojan Horse, p. 24; |
| Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence Volume 2: A Thirty Year Report, pp. |
| 173 & 332, citing James McDonald). |
| |
| 1977 - Nine independent witnesses watched a red ball of light |
| maneuver against the wind in Gatchelville, Pennsylvania at 7:30 p.m. |
| Holes were found burnt in the ground at a possible landing site. |
| (Sources: Allan Hendry, The UFO Handbook, p. 120; Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case 11471). |
| |
| 1982 - There were two close encounter UFO reports on this day from |
| Georgia and Connecticut. At 1:45 p.m. three former Air Force pilots |
| flying in a private corporate jet saw a ten foot diameter silver disc |
| that flew within 25 feet of their left wingtip. They were flying |
| close to Metter, Georgia at the time, 60 miles southwest of |
| Allendale, South Carolina. At 8:15 p.m. three witnesses in a house in |
| Bethel, Connecticut saw two rows of red lights pass over their house |
| and fly off towards the north-northeast at a low altitude. The UFO |
| caused the house to shake when it passed over. (Sources: MUFON UFO |
| Journal, March 1992, p. 17; Larry Hatch, U computer database, cases |
| 13845 & 13846; International UFO Reporter, November-December 1982, p. |
| 8). |
| |
| 1997 - A triangle-shaped UFO with a large dome at one end hovered low |
| over a field in Lympe, England near the town of Hythe at three a.m. |
| There were three witnesses. One of the witnesses, Ms. S. Hall, said |
| that it had lots of bright lights around the sides and made a humming |
| noise. (Source: Lynn Picknett, Mammoth Book of UFOs, p. 168). |
| |
| 1998 - On this afternoon a farmer in Rho, Lombardia, Italy saw a |
| white object in the shape of an upside-down pear hovering above a |
| field. He called his wife and both watched the object for about half |
| an hour. During the episode a hatch slid open and an occupant |
| emerged. The UFOnaut was only about 40 inches tall, with two huge |
| black eyes. The being floated in the air close to the object for |
| about ten minutes, then re-entered the object which rose vertically |
| and left at a high rate of speed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1998, case # 3122, citing Joseph Trainor, |
| UFO Roundup, Vol. 3 # 13). |
| |
| 2003 - A silent "flying wing" was seen by a couple leaving their home |
| in Greenbelt, Maryland at 8:15 p.m. It flew below the clouds at an |
| estimated 600-1,200 feet altitude. It had "pure white" circular |
| lights on the wingtips, small red lights in the middle that |
| brightened and dimmed. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, Seattle, March 2003 archived webpage). |
