|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  January 3 |
| |
| 1948 - A disc-shaped object shot across the sky from west to east in |
| 30 seconds over the coast of Vaasa, Finland. (Source: Project Blue |
| Book files, case 99; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 1289; |
| Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1948, p. 1). |
| |
| 1953 - At one o'clock in the afternoon a metallic dome shaped UFO |
| maneuvered five feet above a hayfield in Santana dos Montes, Minas |
| Gerais State, Brazil. Two 5.1 foot tall men jumped out. They had a |
| shining ball on each of their square-toed shoes. There was a third |
| occupant visible in the hatchway of the craft. One of the men had a |
| cylinder that it pushed into ground, and withdrew. They then got back |
| into the craft and it flew away. The witness, Sr. M. Ramos Bessa, had |
| a severe headache after his close encounter. (Source: Coral & Jim |
| Lorenzen, Encounters with UFO Occupants, p. 143). |
| |
| 1955 - At 7:25 a.m. two people in a car in Melbourne, Victoria, |
| Australia saw a flying object approach to within 70 meters of them |
| after their vehicle was stalled. On that same day in Vienna, Austria |
| six silver discs flew overhead, leaving a trail of red vapor. Some |
| citizens were panicked. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia, p. 248; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 4260; Mark |
| Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 30, |
| citing Vallee). |
| |
| 1958 - At 4 o'clock in the afternoon a nuclear physics college |
| student, Mr. Delacy, shot 90 seconds of 8 mm movie film of nine |
| silver globes over Diamond Head on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. |
| (Source: Project Blue Book files; Don Berliner, Project Blue Book |
| Unknowns). |
| |
| 1959 - At 1:30 p.m. a six-foot long shining cigar-shaped object flew |
| over Adelaide, South Australia. It gave off a red glow. It was |
| followed shortly by a six-foot square object, spinning and shining |
| brightly in the daytime sky. At 8:00 p.m. another cigar-shaped UFO |
| hovered over Dover, Ohio at 40 meters altitude. It was large, silent, |
| and had red, green and white lights on its surface. At about the same |
| time or shortly after eight p.m. a round orange object flew south of |
| Rochester, New York. It made a crackling noise as it flew. A |
| nocturnal light exited from the larger craft, and flew off quickly to |
| the west. (Sources: Michael Hervey, UFOs over the Southern |
| Hemisphere, p. 164; Loren Gross, The fifth horseman of the |
| Apocalypse: UFOs: A History, 1959: January-March, p. 4; NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, March 1959, p. 5). |
| |
| 1963 - An airplane being flown over the state of Cordoba, Argentina |
| had a close encounter with a UFO. The UFO projected a beam of light |
| at the aircraft, and one of the plane's four engines quit working. |
| (Source: UFO Nachrichten (Germany), February 1966, citing a newspaper |
| clipping). |
| |
| 1966 - On this evening Mr. Staver, a rocket expert, watched a group |
| of nocturnal lights maneuver in the sky over Los Altos, California, |
| then shoot off to the west at an estimated 1,200 mph. (Sources: NICAP |
| UFO Investigator, February 1966, p. 2; Frank Edwards, Flying |
| Saucers - Here and Now, pp. 58, 97). |
| |
| 1967 - At two o'clock in the morning a woman professional secretary |
| driving down a road in New Richmond, Indiana had a close encounter |
| with a bright, domed disc-shaped UFO. She described the object as |
| looking like an inverted mushroom; it hovered over her car as she |
| drove for 10-15 minutes. Her forward motion slowed, and she could not |
| make her car accelerate to get out from under the UFO. The object |
| finally made an odd maneuver in the sky and flew away. (Source: |
| Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, pp. |
| 199, 454). |
| |
| 1967 - On this day in 1967 a strange little man entered the county |
| courthouse in Athens, Ohio and asked for directions. He was |
| fascinated with a ballpoint pen, as if he had never seen one before. |
| (Source: Hans Holzer, The UFOnauts, p. 288). |
| |
| 1968 - At five o'clock in the morning Ms. Emma Grimble, an early |
| riser, was sweeping the upper hallway of her guest house home in |
| Ashtabula, Ohio when she heard a commotion downstairs near the |
| tenant's mailboxes. Yelling "Get away from those mailboxes!" she |
| rushed downstairs but was dumbfounded to see two little men, greenish |
| yellow in color, clambering around the boxes and attaching themselves |
| to the wall by "suction cups on their hands and feet." They glistened |
| like metal, possibly wearing flexible, tight fitting metallic |
| clothing. At her appearance the two little creatures rushed out the |
| front door. She heard quite a loud scrambling around, as if there may |
| have been five or six of them. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-11, citing |
| D. L. McCulty, Saucer News; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1968, case 24). |
| |
| 1971 - On this night three small, fuzzy, round objects moved near a |
| bridge and hovered over it as a car approached in Aberdeen, |
| Washington. The engine of the car stopped, the radio had heavy |
| interference, but the headlights remained on. The three objects, |
| which were only about two feet in diameter, then rose slightly and |
| drifted down the river quite slowly. The car could then be restarted. |
| (Sources: APRO Bulletin, May-June, 1971; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports |
| Involving Vehicle Interference, case 304, citing APRO) |
| |
| 1973 - At 10 p.m. on this night in Blacksburg, South Carolina on |
| Highway 43 a metallic domed disc chased a car at a very low altitude. |
| The car's headlights dimmed during the sighting. (Source: newspaper |
| clipping dated February 9, 1973; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports |
| Involving Vehicle Interference, case 325, citing UFO Register 1974). |
| |
| 1975 - There were several close encounter reports on this day for |
| 1975 in Tasmania, over the English Channel, in Argentina, and in the |
| U.S. Midwest. At 8:30 p.m. in Cape Girardeau, Missouri physicist |
| Harley Rutledge and his wife had a close encounter with a 20-foot in |
| diameter, semi-convex glowing domed disc, that rose from behind some |
| trees. There was a dim yellow light coming from its dome. (Source: |
| Harley D. Rutledge, Project Identification, p. 195). |
| |
| 1977 - At 9:30 a.m. a 24-year-old woman and her young sister were |
| doing the wash next to their rural home that was near Carapito Beira |
| Alta, Portugal. They saw on top of a nearby hill a strange looking |
| bulky figure that was dark and motionless. It resembled an |
| eight-foot-tall box with a round head on top and legs that appeared |
| too thin towards the bottom. A strange sound, resembling several dogs |
| barking into a microphone, seemed to emanate from the figure. The two |
| witnesses became afraid and locked themselves in their house. They |
| next heard a sound like someone was dragging something outside on the |
| sand path that encircled their house. The sound stopped at the edge |
| of a nearby pine grove. This was too much for the 24-year-old woman, |
| who suffered a nervous collapse. Investigators found a small |
| radioactive spot at the foot of the hill, plus other ground traces in |
| evidence. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1977, |
| case # 107, citing Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos & Fernandez Peri, |
| Enciclopedia de Los Encuentros Cercanos con Ovnis). |
| |
| 1978 - The Stovold family was driving between Cadnam and |
| Fordingbridge, in Hampshire, England in the late afternoon when they |
| spotted a turreted disc-shaped object hovering just 300 feet over the |
| heath a short distance away. It had lights on the top of its dome. |
| (Source: D. N. Mansell, Awareness, July 1978, p. 4). |
| |
| 1979 - At 11:15 p.m. a couple was crossing a roadway in Mirabello, |
| Italy when they noticed a red beam of light on the ground. They got |
| into their car and drove closer to get a better look. As they |
| approached they perceived a strong burning smell, an odor like burnt |
| human hair. The light resembled a pulsating vertical bar, red in |
| color encircled by a round halo. As they got even closer they saw a |
| human like figure walk in front of the light, and moments later a |
| second figure walked from the opposite direction. As a result of the |
| intense cold the witnesses had to leave the area. As they drove away |
| they observed a similar but larger light on the ground in front of a |
| nearby orchard. The light slowly pulsated. Again the witnesses had to |
| leave because of the cold weather. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1979, case 1555; Maurizio Verga, ITACAT |
| Italian UFO Catalogue). |
| |
| 1979 - Mindalore, South Africa |
| |
| [Sketch of 1979 Mindalore, South Africa sighting] |
| |
| 1979 - There were two incidents involving missing time or abductions |
| on this day. The first occurred in Mindalore, South Africa. A man and |
| a woman were driving in foggy conditions near a mine at 11:50 p.m. |
| They saw a gray cone-shaped craft with four legs that had landed, and |
| then experienced a 20-minute lapse of time, but they did recall |
| witnessing humanoids associated with the craft. (Source: Cynthia |
| Hind, MUFON UFO Journal, March 1979, p. 3). |
| |
| 1979 - The second experience also occurred while driving. Mr. |
| Filiberto Cardenas, age 45, was driving on Okeechobee Road just north |
| of Miami, Florida with three family friends when the car engine |
| suddenly failed. He and another man got out of the car to check under |
| the hood when a large luminous object emitting a humming sound |
| descended over the vehicle. The witness vanished in plain sight of |
| the others, apparently taken up into the object by a beam of light. |
| |
| He was found dazed two hours later and 16 miles away from the |
| original location by a police officer. Later he recalled being taken |
| up and blacking out. He found himself onboard the object and three |
| human-like beings all dressed in tight-fitting white suits took him |
| to an ocean front setting where they opened a "lock" on a rock and |
| entered through a tunnel beneath the sea. The beings were of average |
| height, wearing outfits that covered their heads with winged |
| snake-like emblems on their chests. |
| |
| They spoke to the witness in Spanish and mainly spoke about coming |
| wars and disasters. He was led to a seat made out of stone and given |
| a liquid to drink that tasted like honey. A huge door then opened in |
| front of him and several persons came out. Cardenas began feeling a |
| strong pressure in his chest and at this point an individual |
| approached him and told him he was welcomed. The individual appeared |
| totally human and spoke with a South American accent. Indeed this man |
| told Cardenas that he was from earth but had lived with |
| extraterrestrials for a while now. |
| He was then taken through a corridor into what appeared to be a great |
| city. He then entered a small room where he was suddenly sucked into |
| the wall, which then flipped over and became a bed. Paralyzed, he was |
| unable to move and noticed several figures moving around him. As a |
| light blinded him something was inserted into his ear. From the wall |
| there emerged what looked like several arms ending in suction cups |
| that covered his body. He felt no pain but could not move. |
| |
| After the examination he was taken to another room. There he saw a |
| tall seat and on it was a tall man wearing a cape; he also saw |
| numerous consoles and monitors. He was shown images of three pyramids |
| joined by a thin ray of light. Cardenas apparently slept several |
| times and was awakened and given several tablets to eat. In another |
| room he saw several human like figures wearing gray coveralls. In |
| another room he saw a large gathering of people in what he thought |
| was a "party". |
| |
| Soon he was taken into another room where he saw a large rocket-style |
| ship in which he was taken along with three other humans. He was made |
| to sit on a suction-like seat. After a short trip he was made to exit |
| and given something to eat. He last saw the object disappear into the |
| distance. He was found disoriented by a police officer in an isolated |
| section of the city. A medical exam found 108 tiny pricks on his |
| body. Days after the encounter he suffered from severe sweating, |
| extreme thirst, extreme temperature changes, and a strong sulfur like |
| smell followed him, he also suffered from memory loss, decreased |
| sexual appetite and strange time altering episodes. (Sources: Miami |

| 1980 - In Van Nuys, California a huge, domed disc-shaped object |
| dropped from the sky at 8:30 p.m. to just 50 feet above the car |
| containing three female witnesses. It tilted, then shot up. Two more |
| discs then joined it. (Source: Ann Druffel, MUFON UFO Journal, |

| |
| 1986 - On a farm in Roseville, Placer County, California at 8:15 p.m. |
| a 300-foot in diameter disc-shaped object flew right overhead, then |

| shook as a result. (Source: Robert Gribble, UFO Reporting Center, |
| case # 1037). |
| |
| 1988 - Some very bright lights in the sky paced a car for several |
| miles around 5 p.m. in Grimsby, England. It was seen for nine minutes |
| before it departed by shooting straight up. At 9:30 p.m. an ovoid |
| flying object was seen over southern Leeds, England, then an airplane |
| appeared in the sky. The UFO zig-zagged toward the plane, causing a |
| near collision, then was gone. (Source: Timothy Good, The UFO Report |
| 1990, pp. 11-12). |

| Washington a young man saw a similar large triangular craft with blue |
| and white lights moving slowly in the night sky. It finally streaked |
| off to the north. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |

| to see a short alien being standing next to her hed.  The undescribed |
| being seemed surprised that she woke up and was holding one of her |
| legs. She suddenly received a mental image of a flying object with |
| five beings aboard in her backyard. Three days earlier her mother and |
| brother had also seen beings in their rooms as well, according to the |
| source. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, 2000 Humanoid Sighting Reports |
