| |
|
||
| August 18 |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1947 - Two silver round flat disc-shaped objects, described as |
|
||
| looking like "skeet targets", passed beneath a United |
|
||
| Airlines transport plane flying at 8,000 feet near Mountain Home Army |
|
||
| Air Base, Idaho at around noon. The objects flew off to the south, at |
|
||
| a speed estimated at 900 miles per hour. There were two witnesses on |
|
||
| board the aircraft. (Sources: Boise (Idaho) Statesman, August 20, |

|
||
| talk, April 16, 2005). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1947 - At 8:15 p.m. in Sorrento, Louisiana a photograph was taken by |
|
||
| a Mr. Hofard of at least 78 torpedo-shaped UFOs, glowing brightly and |
|
||
| moving silently low over the trees. (Source: Harold Wilkins, Flying |
|
||
| Saucers on the Attack, p. 73). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - Three policemen in Fairfield, California sighted a UFO at |
|
||
| 12:50 a.m. The object changed color and intensity like a diamond, and |
|
||
| flew in different directions during the 30-minute sighting. (Sources: |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1953 - In the early evening on or about this day Salvador Villanueva, |
|
||
| a taxi cab driver, was trying to repair his broken down car out in |
|
||
| the country near Ciudad Valles, Mexico when he was joined by two |
|
||
| short, human looking men. They were only about four and a half feet |
|
||
| tall, and they wore one-piece gray garments made out of corduroy |
|
||
| that covered even their feet. They also had on wide, shiny black |
|
||
| belts, metal collars, and small black shiny boxes connected to the |
|
||
| collars on the back of their necks. Under their arms they carried |
|
||
| football-style crash helmets. Because it was raining he invited them |
|
||
| to shelter inside his taxi, where they had a conversation that |
|
||
| lasted all night. They spoke Spanish with a strange accent. The |
|
||
| spokesman eventually told him they were from another planet, which |
|
||
| Villanueva scarcely believed, but he accompanied them to their craft. |
|
||
| While walking there he noticed that the mud puddles did not get their |
|
||
| feet wet, and that their belts glowed whenever the mud was repelled. |
|
||
| The UFO was disc-shaped and looked like two soup plates joined at the |
|
||
| rim, with a shallow dome on top with portholes. It rested on the |
|
||
| ground on three spheres that acted like landing gear. He was invited |
|
||
| inside, but declined to go. The two men climbed up some stairs to get |
|
||
| aboard. Glowing white, the vessel zigzagged upwards, and then shot up |
|
||
| vertically, making only a faint whistling sound. A 40-foot circle of |
|
||
| broken bushes was left behind at the landing spot. It's possible the |
|
||
| presence of the UFO may have caused his car to malfunction. (Sources: |

| |
|
||
| 1954 - A brilliant metallic sphere was witnessed at 6:30 p.m. by a |
|
||
| witness while driving between the towns of Coire and Chur, |
|
||
| Switzerland. The sphere maneuvered in the western sky toward Ilanz at |
|
||
| three kilometers altitude, making sudden turns. It finally shot |
|
||
| straight up into the sky and was gone. At 8:00 p.m. a reddish yellow |
|
||
| disc seen over the town of Stein-Saeckingen, Switzerland for 12 |
|

||
| |
|
||
| 1957 - In Shelbyville, Indiana at 9:00 p.m. a three-meter long ovoid |
|
||
| rose up 30 meters over a cornfield. It had lights on its periphery, |
|
||
| and made a clanking noise. (Source: Gray Barker, Flying Saucers |

| |
|
||
| 1962 - At 5:00 p.m. on the island of Bermuda radio station owner Mr. |
|
||
| M. Sheppard, and chief announcer Mr. A. Seymour, sighted three |
|
||

|
||
| they moved through the sky for 20 minutes. (Sources: Project Blue |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1963 - A silvery disc-shaped UFO was seen by two young boys in Fort |
|
||
| Kent, Aroostook County, Maine at 12:30 p.m. The boys' parents agreed |
|
||
| that they must have seen something unusual. The disc passed from |
|
||
| north to south, emitting a hum intermittently. (Sources: St. John |
|
||
| Valley Times, August 29, 1963; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1964 - Major D.W. Thompson and First Pilot Lt. J. F. Jonke were |
|
||
| flying a U.S. Air Force C-124 transport plane 200 miles over the |
|
||
| Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Dover, Delaware. At 12:35 a.m. they |
|
||
| sighted a round, blurry, reddish-white object that appeared to be on |
|
||
| a collision course with their C-124 from ahead and below. The |
|
||
| airplane evaded the object. The sighting lasted two minutes. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1965 - In Noblesville, Indiana at 10:50 p.m. the engine and radio of |
|
||
| a car with two occupants inside died when a top-shaped object with a |
|
||
| dome and body lights hovered over the car. The close encounter lasted |
|
||
| for four minutes. (Source: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume |
|
||
| II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 249). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1966 - Three hunters, E. Beucomo, J. Zapata and J. Ramos, observed a |
|
||
| strange glow in the forest near Barinas, Venezuela and discovered a |
|
||
| very large, egg-shaped object, hovering stationary two meters above |
|
||
| ground. It had large, circular openings emitting a multicolored |
|
||
| light, and it made a whistling sound. The hunters ran away. (Source: |
|
||
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case |
|
||
| 786). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1968 - At 13:23 p.m. in a forest 47 kilometers west-southwest of |
|
||
| Cluj, Romania, three photographs were taken of a silvery hat-shaped |
|
||
| object, 42-50 meters in diameter, with a structure similar to the Rex |
|
||
| Heflin photographs from Santa Ana, California in 1965. The |
|
||
| photographer was a 45-year-old man, along with his girlfriend, and |
|
||
| there were two other witnesses. It flew overhead at an estimated |
|
||
| height of 600 meters, moving from northeast to southwest, and then |
|
||
| reversed direction. The object finally accelerated and shot upward |
|
||
| out of sight. The sighting lasted two minutes. (Sources: Florin |
|
||
| Gheorghita, FSR, November 1969, p. 12; Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
|
||
| Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 287). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1971 - At 6:40 a.m. a glowing white cigar, the size of a railroad car |
|
||
| and tapered at one end, flew over in Sutherlands, South Australia. It |
|
||
| had no wings or protuberances, and flew to the east on an even course |
|
||
| at an estimated speed of 200 mph. (Source: A. Jenke, Australian FSR, |
|
||
| February 1972, p. 21). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1972 - Raimundo Alvarez and Pancho Torres, two masons, were working |
|
||
| on a roof drain at around two o'clock in the afternoon in Istapalapa, |
|
||
| Mexico when they heard a humming sound. Next they noticed that all |
|
||
| ordinary daytime sounds had eerily ceased, creating a "stifling" |
|
||
| silence. About 50 yards away from them Alvarez saw two strange, |
|
||
| eight-foot tall figures, dressed in bright silvery clothing |
|
||
| resembling fish scales. When they got closer the two men could see |
|
||
| that the beings were unusually broad shouldered and slender. They had |
|
||
| round heads that were bright silver in color, with two round bumps in |
|
||
| place of eyes, small ears, no visible mouths or noses, hands with |
|
||
| four digits, and large webbed feet like those of ducks. They "seemed |
|
||
| to float in air" while walking. The beings started to approach the |
|
||
| witnesses, but just then a woman carrying a milk can came around the |
|
||
| corner of the house, and the two creatures "flew" toward her. A great |
|
||
| deal of dust arose from the ground; the two entitiesvanished into it |
|
||
| and were not seen again. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, November-December |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1975 - Two men, Bernard Gregory, age 19, and Patrick Labonne, age 22, |
|
||
| were camping in a clearing in Villeneuve Loubet, Alpes Maritimes |
|
||
| Department, France. At around 2:30 a.m. Bernard suddenly felt uneasy, |
|
||
| and saw four luminous "forms". He called Patrick, who also saw them. |
|
||
| Both men felt they were being observed. Afraid, they woke the rest of |
|
||
| their friends. Suddenly all six of them saw a huge light and then a |
|
||
| red cloud that ascended into the sky and transformed into a black, |
|
||
| compact cigar-shaped object. The being-like forms were described as |
|
||
| about 1.75 m in height, each with two eyes in the upper part. The |
|
||
| forms were white in color, and they moved very slowly, like on |
|
||
| rollers. As the witnesses walked away they looked back, and saw two |
|
||
| of the forms in a tree. At this point the witnesses attempted to |
|
||
| approach the beings, but were prevented by an "invisible" barrier. |
|
||
| After the gray compact cigar-shaped object left, the grass at the |
|
||
| site was found to be desiccated, and matted down in a spiral fashion. |
|
||
| A white, oval-shaped stain resembling chalk was also found, but |
|
||
| disappeared with the morning daylight. During the incident the |
|
||
| witnesses noticed there was an unusual silence in the area, but dogs |
|
||
| were heard barking in the distance. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |

|
||
| inside the transparent dome. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |

|
||
| |
|
||

|
||
| light on top of it, was seen in close vicinity in Port Crane, New |
|
||
| York at 11:15 p.m. It had an arrow-like projection of light. It |
|
||
| hovered for 30 seconds at 45 feet above the ground, |
|
||
| causing TV interference and setting off the buzzing of a magnetic |
|
||
| detector. (Sources: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, |
|
||

|
||
| multiple orange, red and blue lights. It was described as being very |
|
||
| large, and estimated to be about 400 meters away at an altitude of |
|
||
| 800 feet. Its speed was slow, except when it took off. (Source: James |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1993 - A girl was riding her bicycle on this day in Odense, Denmark |
|
||
| when she observed a large hovering object with four large windows on |
|
||
| one level and another window on a second level. Behind the windows |
|
||
| several figures could be seen moving around. As the object turned she |
|
||
| saw three bright lights below. Nearby a normally placid pony behaved |
|
||
| very uneasy during the encounter. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |

|
||
| asked them to come over to her house outside Dallas, Texas |
|
||
| immediately, because there were something strange going on in the |
|
||
| house. One of her neighbor's, Jill, grabbed her camera and headed for |
|
||
| the house. When Jill arrived the entire family was in a state of |
|
||
| terror and extreme agitation. Two of the young females in the |
|
||
| household were cowering in a corner of the living room, holding on to |
|
||
| each other. The friend who called her sat in a chair curled into a |
|
||
| semi-fetal position, rocking back and forth. She then pointed to the |
|
||
| backyard. Jill looked out through a sliding glass door that led to |
|
||
| the backyard and saw a creature with glowing red eyes, only 15 feet |
|
||
| from the door. The being seemed to be scanning the house from left to |
|
||
| right and top to bottom. Jill began snapping photos through the |
|
||
| sliding glass door. At the same time the Hispanic woman heard a long |
|
||
| ringing sound in her ears. Eventually the being disappeared. Another |
|
||
| family member reported seeing similar beings going through doors, |
|
||
| windows and walls the same day and two days prior. An anomalous image |
|
||
| did appear on the developed film. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |

|
||
| oval-shaped craft, almost one kilometer in length, over the city; it |
|
||
| suddenly vanished. Then a small gray egg-shaped object with small |
|
||
| windows landed in his garden. Several small Grey humanoids exited the |
|
||
| object and stared at the witness. One of them approached him and |
|
||
| slowly took his hand; the being’s skin felt very soft. The humanoid |
|
||
| then tried to pull the man's hand gently, in an attempt to escort him |
|
||
| onboard the landed craft, but the witness refused to go. However, he |
|
||
| reported that he felt at peace during the encounter. (Sources: Peter |

| 2009 - Camped on the top of a ridge outside of Sedro Wooley, |
|
||
| Washington at around 1:00 a.m., a man who had previously seen a |
|
||
| multi-colored UFO many times in the area late at night took out his |
|
||
| binoculars and sighted an oval-shaped disc with blinking red, blue, |
|
||
| and green lights. It was making a low-pitched, humming sound, and was |
|
||
| hovering over a small clearing on the ridge. Through the binoculars |
|
||
| he saw what appeared to be a porthole, and through the porthole he |
|
||
| could see a humanoid being wearing some sort of a helmet. Frightened, |
|
||
| the man decided to climb down off the ridge and go home. (Source: |
