|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  November 12 |
| |
| 1885 - Cape Race, Atlantic Ocean - A huge sphere of fire was observed |
| rising out of the ocean by witnesses aboard the ship "Siberian." It |
| rose to an altitude of 16 meters, flew against the wind, and came |
| close to the ship, then "dashed off" toward the southeast. The |
| sighting lasted five minutes. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 181; Ivan T. Sanderson, Invisible |
| Residents, p. 27). |
| |
| 1953 - At 5 p.m. two silver discs exited a solidary white cloud in |
| the sky, hover over the river bed in Ojai, California and then |
| vanish. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, March 1954; Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database). |
| |
| 1954 - A fisherman watched a three meter wide transparent globe |
| descend at eight o'clock in the morning, stop and hover momentarily, |
| and then dive into the canal in Arqua'Polesine, Italy leaving behind |
| a cloud of vapor. At eleven o'clock that same morning a Brazilian |
| priest working at the Vatican's Castel Gandolfo mountain residence in |
| Italy had a close encounter with two UFOs. (Sources: Verga Maurizio, |
| ITACAT Italian UFO Catalogue; Alberto Perego, FSR Case Histories, |
| June 1973, p. 6). |
| |
| 1954 - A spherical UFO hovered for a long period over Louisville, |
| Kentucky. U.S. Air Force jets chased it over Kentucky, Indiana and |
| Ohio. It was also observed from the ground through a theodolite. |
| (Source: Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 134). |
| |
| 1955 - A clearly defined disc-shaped object flew over the Thames |
| River at Goring, Oxfordshire, England, shooting sparks. (Source: UFO |
| Nachtrichten, July 1957). |
| |
| 1958 - A brilliant blue glowing disc with two domes flew low over a |
| main highway in Caracas, Venezuela at five o'clock in the morning. It |
| made a sound like a jet. (Source: APRO Bulletin, May 1959). |
| |
| 1963 - On this night off the Argentine Coast of the South Atlantic, a |
| UFO followed the Argentine Navy ship "Punta Medanos." Electronic |
| interference was reported at the time. (Source: NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, September 1965, p. 6; Frank Edwards, Flying |
| Saucers--Serious Business, p. 120). |
| |
| 1966 - On this night a domed disc-shaped object with portholes |
| hovered over Fort Ontario, New York and was witnessed by a radar |
| operator. It shot straight up until it was gone from sight. (Source: |
| Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. |
| 152). |
| 1966 - During the day five men digging a grave in a cemetery in |
| Clendenin, West Virginia saw something that looked like "a brown |
| human being" that flew from some nearby trees and maneuvered low over |
| their heads. It was in sight for about a minute. (Source: John A. |
| Keel, FSR, July-August 1968, p. 13; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1966-53 (A0747), citing |
| John Keel). |
| |
| 1967 - At nine o'clock in the morning an ovoid object came down |
| slowly into a field of maize in Centeno, Santa Fe province, |
| Argentina, its major axis vertical. It gave out orange bursts of |
| flame, and disappeared behind some trees. No landing traces |
| were found. (Source: Oscar A. Uriondo, FSR Case Histories, December |
| 1973, p. 18). |
| |
| 1976 - Jose Maria Trejo and Juan Carrizosa Lujan were on sentry duty |
| at Talavera La Real Air Force Base in Badajoz, Spain when at 1:45 |
| a.m. they heard a very loud, penetrating whistle that continued for |
| five minutes, stopped, and then started again. When it stopped the |
| second time they saw a light in the sky in the direction of Badajoz, |
| “like a flare,” which lit up a wide area beneath it. After about 20 |
| seconds it vanished. A third sentry, Jose Hidalgo, joined them and |
| accompanied by a guard dog they went to search the fuel stockpile |
| area. They had gone about a thousand feet when they experienced a |
| localized “whirlwind,” which alarmed them and caused them to load |
| their rifles. Then they heard a sound like branches being broken in |
| the direction of some nearby eucalyptus trees, so they released the |
| guard dog. The dog charged off toward the trees, but after a few |
| seconds came staggering back and whimpering. Four more times they |
| ordered the dog to go to the trees, but each time he came back in the |
| same manner. Then Trejo glimpsed a green light out of the corner of |
| his eyes, and when he turned around he saw a luminous humanoid figure |
| at least ten feet tall, only 50 feet away. The thick, luminous figure |
| seemed to consist entirely of small points of light, and more intense |
| around its periphery. The small head appeared to be covered by a |
| helmet. The arms seemed to be crossed, and legs and feet could not be |
| seen. Trejo tried to fire his rifle, but was unable to because he |
| felt a sudden sensation of weakness, and collapsed to the ground. The |
| other two men then caught sight of the entity and fired at it. |
| Between the two of them they fired 40-50 shots. At the instant the |
| firing began the apparition vanished. The other two men helped Trejo |
| to his feet, and at this time all three heard the whistle again, |
| coming from the direction of the eucalyptus trees. It lasted for |
| 10-15 seconds and then ceased. At dawn 50 men searched the area. They |
| found nothing. Particularly mystifying was the fact that they could |
| not find a single spent cartridge case. Moreover, the adobe wall of |
| the base, which was just behind where the being stood and should have |
| been pockmarked with bullet holes, showed not a single |
| bullet pockmark. A few days after the incident Trejo lost his vision, |
| and then fell unconscious. He was hospitalized, but his hospital |
| tests showed nothing abnormal. About two weeks later he again lost |
| his vision for about 15 minutes. He was hospitalized for a month and |
| during that time suffered from severe headaches. (Sources: Juan Jose |

| citing Juan Jose Benitez; Richard F. Haines, CE-5: Close Encounters |
| of the Fifth Kind, p. 231; Patrick Huyghe, Field Guide to |
| Extraterrestrials, p. 118). |
| |
| 1976 - At 6:15 p.m. James Howard, age 15, and his friend Brian |
| Hollis, age 14, observed an object with pulsating red, green, and |
| blue lights, which stopped in the air and descended into some nearby |
| woods in Tarboro, near Edgecombe, North Carolina. They were alarmed |
| and ran home. Looking back, they saw a nine foot tall milky white |
| figure wearing a diamond shaped red helmet, who came floating out of |
| the woods about 150 yards away from them. Under the helmet its |
| head appeared to be blackish gray, and its short legs seemed to have |
| no feet. It stopped and seemed to look at the boys, then floated on |
| and disappeared behind a nearby billboard. The entire incident |
| lasted about 15 minutes. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1976-76, citing MUFON). |
| |
| 1978 - At 1:30 a.m. in Saluzzo, Piedmonte, Italy a yellow and red |
| domed disc-shaped object swooped down over the roadway and |
| illuminated a car and the surrounding area, causing the car tape deck |
| to stop working. It had four legs or landing gear appendages. |
| (Sources: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, October 1979, |
| p. 18; Lumieres dans la Nuit, October 1981; UNICAT, case 115). |
| |
| 1978 - At 7:30 p.m. three red spherical UFOs approached Rome, Italy |
| from the sea. One descended and crossed the flight path of incoming |
| airliners. (Sources: Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, March |
| 1979, p. 13, citing Cronica, December 11, 1978; Allan Hendry, |
| International UFO Reporter, October 1979, p. 18; Richard Hall, The |
| UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, pp. 154 & 351). |
| |
| 1981 - At 6:00 p.m. NATO jets were scrambled from the Hortiati NATO |
| Air Base in Macedonia, Greece in pursuit of UFOs tracked on military |
| radar. UFOs played hide-and-seek with them, disappearing and then |
| reappearing 45 minutes later. UFOs were also seen and reported in the |
| villages of Kalokorio, Mihaniona, and Laina, as well as the cities of |
| Gianitsa and Edessa. At 6:45 p.m. objects shaped like flaming |
| parachutes, emitting powerful lights, hung in the sky over the city |
| of Edessa, Greece for 30 minutes. Most city residents saw them, |
| including some with binoculars. (Source: J. Allen Hynek, |
| International UFO Reporter, January 1982, p. 11). |
| |
| 1987 - In Ringsted, Denmark an observer spotted a short child-like |
| figure in a field at 8:20 p.m. Upon closer investigation he also saw |
| a three meter in diameter glowing ball float up and then spin into |
| the sky at high speed. The witness felt the short figure may have |
| entered the ball shaped craft. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case # 14570, citing SUFOI News, issue 11; Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1987, case # 2500, citing Jan |
| Aldrich, Project 1947). |
| |
| 1995 - Tim Edwards and his family photographed a pencil-shaped object |
| in the western sky from Highway 17 in Hooper, Saquache County, |
| Colorado at dusk. (Source: Christopher O'Brien, Enter the Valley, p. |
| 311). |
| |
| 1995 - At 10:00 p.m. three poor quality Polaroids of a domed ovoid |
| object near the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama were taken by |
| a fisherman. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 17138). |
| |
| 2006 - The pilot of a Boeing 767 observed a fast moving light cross |
| in front of his aircraft while flying over Gagetown, New Brunswick, |
| Canada at 10:06 p.m. The aircraft's tactical collision avoidance |
| system was triggered by the object. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2006 |
| Canadian UFO Survey, case # 685). |
