|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  May 23 |
| |
| 1953 - A cigar-shaped object darted into a high altitude cloud over |
| Melbourne, Victoria, Australia at noon on this day. It then flew back |
| out again. (Sources: Michael Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern |
| Hemisphere, p. 91; APRO Bulletin, November 1953). |
| |
| 1957 - At 8:15 in the morning over Kansas City, Kansas four discs |
| were sighted flying in a box formation. Two of the objects turned and |
| flew to the northwest, while two shot ahead to the north, joining |
| another pair also going to the northwest. (Sources: Loren E. Gross, |
| The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1957: March |
| 23-May 25, p. 94; Richard F. Haines, Project Delta: A Study of |
| Multiple UFO, p. 110). |
| |
| 1961 - A round, silver bowl-shaped object flew slowly to the south |
| over Napier, New Zealand in Hawke's Bay at a few minutes after 3:15 |
| p.m. It was witnessed by a Mrs. Church for two minutes. It reached a |
| position over the local aerodrome and then vanished in place. |
| (Source: APRO Bulletin, July-August 1961, p. 8). |
| |
| 1962 - In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania a domed disc with portholes flew |
| over the city for an estimated 40 minutes, playing a game of cat and |
| mouse with jets at an estimated altitude of 750 meters. The Air Force |
| explanation lists this case as caused by a reflection. (Source: |
| Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, May 1962; |
| APRO Bulletin, May 1962). |
| |
| 1965 - A school teacher in Kailua, Hawaii watched a small white disc, |
| perhaps one meter in diameter, fly by very fast from northeast to |
| southwest at an estimated altitude of only 100 feet. (Source: APRO |
| Bulletin, January-February 1966). |
| |
| 1969 - At midnight in Kalamunda, Western Australia nocturnal lights |
| zigzagged through the sky and were picked up as blips on radar as |
| they maneuvered to the north. (Source: Bill Chalker, The Oz Files, p. |
| 67). |
| |
| 1971 - Twelve photographs were taken of a silverly metallic disc in |
| St. Lorenzen, Austria at 12:30 p.m. The disc was estimated to be 12 |
| to 15 meters in diameter and was seen moving in and out of clouds. It |
| jumped from location to location, and appeared to be spinning when |
| hovering. (Source: UFO Nachrichten (Germany), September 1971). |
| |
| 1973 - A round spinning UFO with red, green, blue and purple lights |
| buzzed a car with three teenagers in Mount Gambier, South Australia |
| at 7 p.m., terrigying them. In an undulating course the UFO first |
| hovered, then came straight at their car. It flew up and over them, |
| and passed low over the other side and away. (Source: Border Watch, |
| May 1973, p. 24). |
| |
| 1975 - A dog and cat reacted with panic when a bottle-shaped silver |
| UFO flew near a mountainside at 9 p.m. in Sedona, Arizona. There were |
| separate witnesses to the nocturnal fly by. (Source: APRO Bulletin, |
| May-June 1976, p. 5). |
| |
| 1977 - A fiery looking torus-shaped object hovered and tilted over |
| Santiago, Chile at six o'clock in the morning. A beam extended from |
| the object, and swung back and forth like a pendulum. At ball of |
| light was at the end of the beam. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| January 1978). |
| |
| 1982 - At 3:30 a.m. a nocturnal light paced a car in Bowna, New South |
| Wales, Australia only 3 meters above the ground. It hovered when the |
| car stopped. A diamond shaped object was seen hovering over the car's |
| destination. (Source: Australian Center for UFO Studies files). |
| |
| 1983 - A disc-shaped object with a black top, blue sides, square |
| windows, and a reddish golden metallic bottom maneuvered over trees |
| in McHenry, Illinois at 7:30 p.m. It was witnessed by an art teacher |
| as it then rocked violently, levelled out, and flew off following the |
| contour of the land. (Source: J. Allen Hynek, International UFO |
| Reporter, January-February 1985, p. 7). |
| |
| 1988 - A black cylindrical object hovered in the northern sky for 30 |
| minutes, as seen from Fredericia, Denmark at 4 p.m. It then appeared |
| to vanish. (Source: Scandinavian UFO Newsletter, issue #12). |
| |
| 1999 - In Mambau, Malaysia at 4:30 a.m. 17-year-old Fahmi Mohd was |
| awaken by the sound of wind blowing. He noticed some bright lights |
| outside his house. When he went out the back door he was surprised to |
| see an object hovering low over some nearby bushes. It was about |
| 20-30 feet away and gave off a very bright blue light. He could not |
| tell its shape because of the light's brilliance. He watched in |
| amazement, forgetting to wake his parents. Next he saw a small being, |
| about half a meter tall, come out from the bottom of the hovering |
| craft. Again, because of the bright blue light he could not |
| distinguish many features, but he could see that it had drooping ears |
| and a slightly pointed head with very long arms. Frightened, he went |
| back inside his house. He looked out again to see the object shoot up |
| at an angle and disappear into the sky. He did hear a mechanical |
| sound right before the object shot up. Several small footprints were |
| found at the site. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1999, case #3428, citing Ahmad Jamaludin, Malaysian Centre |
| for UFO Studies). |
| |
| 1999 - A wedge-shaped object with blue and red flashing lights, |
| described as "something weird," flew over Surrey, British Columbia at |
| 10:15 a.m. (Source: Geoff Ditman, Canadian UFO Survey 1999, case # |
| 87). |
| |
| 2003 - Three very big disc-shaped objects, bobbing up and down, were |
| seen over Melbourne, Victoria, Australia at 8 p.m. They flashing |
| different colors in a blue to white to red sequence, and were |
| estimated to be 30 feet in diameter. A man and wife and their |
| 23-year-old son drove under a dark, slow moving triangular shaped |
| object on Highway 17 north of Webster, Iowa at 9:30 p.m. The UFO had |
| bright orange lights at each apex which did not light up the entire |
| craft. It also had a light gray circle in the center and stripes |
| extending out to the corners. Later that night at 11:35 p.m. MDT in |
| Havre, Montana three white lights arranged in a triangle formation |
| moved through the sky perfectly spaced, suggesting they belonged to |
| one craft. The UFO made no sound and had no blinking or colored |
| lights. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| Seattle). |
