|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  April 26 |
| |
| 1897 - A lawyer was surprise to see a lighted object fly over as he |
| was driving his carriage three miles north of Aquila, Texas. His |
| horse shied and nearly toppled the carriage. When the main light was |
| turned off, a number of smaller lights became visible ont he |
| underside of the dark object, which supported an elongated carriage. |
| The airship went down toward a hill to the south, five kilometers |
| from Aquila, Texas. When the witness was on his way back, one hour |
| later, he saw the object ascending. It reached the altitude of the |
| cloud ceiling and flew to the northeast at a fantastic speed with |
| periodic flashes of light. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 30; Dallas Morning News, April |
| 28, 1897). |
| |
| 1897 - At 5:15 a.m. in Barring Cross, Arkansas a photograph of a |
| structured flying object was taken. (Source: Jerome Clark, Flying |
| Saucer Review, July 1967, p. 22). |
| |
| 1897 - At 11:00 p.m. in Sidnaw, Michigan several people saw a green |
| ball of light fly overhead. (Source: Marquette (MI) Mining Journal, |
| May 1, 1897). |
| |
| 1948 - A flying humanoid was spotted on this morning in St. Louis, |
| Missouri and reported to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper by a |
| Mrs. Dolezal. (Sources: St. Louis Post Dispatch, April 26, 1948; |
| Kansas City Star, April 29, 1948). |
| |
| 1954 - What first appeared to be a flaming ring made sharp turns in |
| the sky over a school in Newburyport, Massachusetts at around 3:30 |
| p.m. It resolved into a solid silver, disc-shaped object with a dark |
| center and protruding top. It made an intense roaring sound that |
| lasted five seconds. It left a bright white tail in descent, and flew |
| off rapidly to the southeast. At 8:35 p.m. 15 balls of light in a |
| V-formation buzzed a University of Georgia professor of aeronautics |
| and four other witnesses in Athens, Georgia. (Sources: (1) Richard |
| Hall, The UFO Evidence (Volume 1), p. 66; UNICAT database, case 773, |
| citing Project Blue Book; (2) Project Blue Book files counted in |
| official statistics, case 2983; Richard F. Haines, Project Delta: A |
| Study of Multiple UFO, p. 59; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1954: |
| January-May, p. 79). |
| |
| 1958 - At 9:05 p.m. a red hot coal-like object streaked across the |
| sky over Adelaide, South Australia. It made a hissing noise. (Source: |
| Michael Hervey, UFOs over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 164). |
| |
| 1959 - Luis Da Silva had seen a red colored disc in the sky before he |
| went to bed in Sao Paulo, Brazil and when he awoke at midnight he |
| felt a compulsion to go out into his garden, where he found a note |
| telling him to return the next night at 1:30 a.m. He did so, and a |
| circular UFO appeared at a low altitude, perhaps 100 meters. He felt |
| paralyzed and unable to move. In a spiral a man descended from the |
| UFO but did not quite touch the ground. He wore a helmet and was clad |
| in plastic looking clothing, with gloves that looked transparent like |
| glass. He told Da Silva to return again on Thursday at 2:05 a.m. and |
| then re-ascended in a spiral to his craft. On Thursday the same |
| sequence of events occurred, but this time three entities descended, |
| one at a time. The last of these beings asked Da Silva for a sheet of |
| paper, and he inscribed upon it a message consisting of |
| undecipherable markings. (Sources: Flying Saucer Review, May-June |
| 1967, p. 7; David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case 1959-07, citing Dr. Walter Buhler, SBEDV). |
| |
| 1964 - An interesting photograph was taken this day in Burgh le |
| Marsh, Cumbria, England. A Mr. Templeton took a photograph of a |
| little girl holding a nosegay of flowers in the early afternoon. Not |
| seen at the time was what appears to be the image of a man standing |
| behind her, dressed in a white spacesuit. (Sources: Flying Saucer |
| Review, November-December 1964, p. 11; Gordon Creighton, FSR, |
| September-October 1970, p. 29). |
| |
| 1964 - At 12:30 p.m. Orlando Gallegos observed a bright, metallic, |
| egg-shaped object about 70 meters away, on the ground, north of La |
| Madera, New Mexico. Blue flames appeared to circle the base of the |
| machine, which was silent and about the length of a telephone pole. |
| Scorch marks and four imprints were found, according to Police Capt. |
| Martin Vigil. Also on the same day, a thirty-foot wide silver, |
| inverted bathtup-shaped UFO was sighted near Truth of Consequences, |
| New Mexico by a Mr. Mitropolis. It was seen a quarter of a mile to |
| the east, flew up over a mountain, then down out of sight near the |
| Caballo Reservoir. (Sources: (1) Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: |
| A Century of Landings, case 598; NICAP UFO Investigator, August 1964, |
| p. 5; (2) Flying Saucers, June 1965, p. 10). |
| |
| 1965 - At 5:00 p.m. Gary W., age 9, in New London, Minnesota saw an |
| object which came down silently and hovered at ground level, 60 |
| meters away. A sort of periscope emerged from the craft, and a |
| strange noise, which was also heard by the boy's father, was noted. |
| After a couple of minutes the "periscope" disappeared, the object |
| rose, and then dashed up into the sky at unbelievable speed. |
| (Sources: Saucer News, Fall 1965, p. 26; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 645; Bob Gribble, MUFON UFO |
| Journal, April 1990, p. 20). |
| |
| 1966 - A young man was driving his car in Follansbee, West Virginia |
| at 11:30 p.m. when he saw a silent UFO shaped like two bowls glued |
| together. It flew at 30 meters altitude, ahead of his car. He |
| estimated the diameter of the object at 10 meters. He drove away as |
| quickly as he could without looking back. (Sources: Jacques Vallee: |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 766, citing US Air |
| Force ATIC; http://www.nicap.org/waves/1966fullrep.htm). |
| |
| 1967 - At 8:30 p.m. a Miss Roberts of St. Catherines, Ontario saw a |
| blindingly red object ascend into the sky, then turn a green color. |
| It next shot beams of light at a dog on the ground, and made an exit |
| with erratic maneuvers. In nearby Waterloo, Ontario at 9:00 p.m. a |
| Mr. Dorscht saw an oil-drum shaped cylinder descend from the sky, |
| extend six legs, and then land on his farm. The 1.5 meter tall object |
| left behind six landing imprints in the ground after it departed. At |
| 9:30 p.m. EDT a witness in Kitchener, Ontario saw a small cylinder, |
| estimated to be 3 feet in diameter and 5 feet tall, with flashing |
| lights. The object landed, deploying six legs when it was about four |
| feet from the ground. A whirring sound during landing stopped once |
| the object was at rest. Ground impressions (physical traces) were |
| found at the landing site. (Sources: (1) NICAP UFO Investigator, June |
| 1967, p. 3; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A |

| files). |
| |
| 1967 - On this night in Mount St. Helens, Washington two teenagers |
| saw a saucer-shaped object with a dome. It had a swept back wing, and |
| red body lights. As it pursued the witnesses' car and illuminated it |
| with a light beam, a whistling sound could be heard. The object then |
| turned away and started to follow a truck that passed. (Sources: |
| Unidentified newspaper clipping, NICAP files; |
| http://www.nicap.org/waves/1967fullrep.htm). |
| |
| 1969 - At 5:26 p.m. in the suburbs outsie of Melnik, Sofia, Bulgaria |
| a shiny delta-shaped object remained in place in the sky for two |
| minutes. (Source: Ion Hobana & Julien Weverbergh, UFOs from Behind |
| the Iron Curtain, p. 197). |
| |
| 1969 - On this evening David Arychuk was out walking his dog in |
| Calgary, Alberta when he saw a circular object with three pulsating |
| red lights around the top, 200 yards away from him. The UFO was about |
| 30 feet in diameter and 20 feet high, and cream-colored with a pitted |
| surface. He smelled a rather nauseating odor of "sweet bitterness" |
| that was in the air. One hundred yards away stood two humanoid |
| beings, "taller than normal," wearing dark clothing. David yelled out |
| "Hey you!" and they walked around behind the UFO. His dog refused to |
| go on and was shivering from fright. By the time David came back to |
| the site with his stepfather the UFO was gone, but the odor was still |
| present the next day. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1969-44, citing |
| investigator William K. Allan; John Brent Musgrave, UFO Occupants and |
| Critters, p. 49). |
| |
| 1969 - Sr. Robler's watch stopped when he drove his car under a |
| luminous red, cone-shaped UFO on a highway between Ibiuna and Sao |
| Paulo, Brazil in Sao Paulo State at 4:30 a.m. (Sources: Hans |
| Bemelmens, FSR, January-February 1970, p. 17; Geoffrey Falla, BUFORA |
| Vehicle Interference Project Report, p. 52). |
| |
| 1974 - Forty-one year old Oscar Patero failed to return from a short |
| business trip that he embarked upon on this day. Five or six days |
| later he was found rain soaked and covered with ticks on a thousand |
| foot mountain near Colatina in the state of Espiritu Santo, Brazil, |
| which was over 900 kilometers from his home. He said that a light |
| appeared at around 11:30 p.m. just before he crossed a bridge while |
| driving between Catanduva and Julio de Mesquita, Sao Paulo, Brazil. |
| In fact, his car was found there. Under hypnosis he revealed that he |
| had been taken aboard a UFO and been given a physical exam, but he |
| resisted giving any further details except to say that a tall, |
| fair-haired and blue-eyed young man was one of the aliens. The man |
| was described as about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a small nose and |
| small ears. He revealed that this was actually his second UFO |
| encounter, because he had given a ride to this same individual |
| previously on the night of his first encounter. (Sources: Gordon |
| Creighton, FSR, November 1975, p. 15, citing O Dia, May 29, 1974; |

| |
| 1975 - A UFO dove at spectators who had stopped to watch it along the |
| side of a highway in Gerena, Sevilla, Spain, causing the witnesses to |
| panic. The six witnesses got back into their cars and drove away, but |
| were chased for two miles. The red, elongated or ovoid object came so |
| close that the drivers were dazzled by the light. When they pulled |
| into a filling station for santuary the light finally shot off |
| rapidly to the east. The incident lasted approximately eight minutes. |

| then shot straight up, and finally zigzagged before vanishing at a 45 |
| degrees angle above the horizon in the northwest. (Source: Allan |
| Hendry, CUFOS News, September 1980, p. 3). |
| |
| 1984 - At around 11:00 a.m. a humanoid wearing an odd helmet was seen |
| in the woods west of Macomer, Sardinia, Italy by two children. There |
| was an odd silence that permeated the encounter, which lasted only a |
| couple of minutes. A disc-shaped object rose from the forest floor, |
| then flew off to the east-northeast. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case 14138, citing CISU). |

| |
| 2000 - At around 2:00 a.m. several residents living on the slopes of |
| a hill in Tocopilla, Antofagasta Province, Chile saw a strange |
| looking entity climb rapidly up the side of a steep hill. It moved up |
| a practically vertical cliff using reptilian like movements, and |
| seemed to expand as if it possessed dark wing-like membranes on its |
| back, which may have helped propell it up the cliff. Once it reached |
| the summit witnesses began hearing strange growling and screeching |
| sounds coming from the top. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 2000, case HC # 3644, citing Paranigma Chile). |
| |
| 2001 - In Mount Gambier, South Australia at 7:00 p.m. there was a |
| procession of orange/red fireballs that passed from west to east. The |
| second followed the first at a 5 minute interval, then 20 minutes |
| passed before the third object, and then five minutes again until the |
| fourth one passed. They all travelled beneath the cloud line. One |
| went out completely, while the others faded in the distance. At 7:45 |
| p.m. there was another procession of objects. Another object was seen |
| in the sky, then another one 5-6 minutes later, then a third one came |
| from the northwest direction, which moved east toward Victoria. |
| (Source: Doug Moffett, Australasian Ufologist, April 2002, p. 37). |
| |
| 2001 - At 8:00 p.m. a huge V-shaped UFO with white lights on the |
| leading edge defining the boomerang outline, flew directly overhead |
| in Salt Ash, New South Wales, Australia. A minute later, single |
| lights began arcing in one direction, then the other. (Source: George |
| A. Filer & David E. Twitchell, Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports of |
| UFO Sightings, p. 105). |

| 2004 webpage).  |
| |
| 2004 - A glowing flying triangle was spotted by a couple in Kelowna, |
| British Columbia. It was white in color. No lights were seen on the |
