|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  March 31 |
| |
| 1950 - In 1950 a woman driving at night on Highway 80 in Jacumba, California |
| reported that she saw a little man jump out of a landed disc-shaped |
| UFO, and then run down the highway "faster than Jesse Owens." |
| (Sources: International News Service, March 31, 1950; David F. Webb |
| and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A0161). |
| |
| 1953 - At 7:50 p.m. a USAF F-94 pilot reported sighting a white |
| disc-shaped UFO emitting red and blue beams of light. It maneuvered |
| all about the sky over the northeast corner of Honshu Island, Japan. |
| (Source: Loren Gross, UFOs: A History - 1953: March-July, p. 28). |
| |
| 1954 - A small disc-shaped UFO flew over Hammersmith, England at 8:10 |
| p.m. at a high rate of speed. It had a misty looking appearance |
| despite the clear sky. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, |
| case 3316). |
| |
| 1956 - Three round lights moved erratically and silently over Miami, |
| Florida at 9:00 p.m. in a perfect equilateral triangle formation. |
| (Sources: Loren Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A |
| History - 1956: January-April, p. 57; Richard Haines, Project Delta: |
| A Study of Multiple UFO, p. 185). |
| |
| 1959 - Three Adelaide, South Australia children reported having seen |
| strange objects moving about in the sky. Neil Abercrombie, his |
| mother, brother, and some other friends, all saw a strange object at |
| 6:05 p.m. He described it as an "elongated circle with indistinct |
| edges" and said it had been flying quite high. Two other nearby |
| residents saw a round object with red flashing lights at about 7:50 |
| p.m. They said the object circled and disappeared in the west, |
| appearing to be smaller than a plane. (Source: Michael Hervey, UFOs over the |
| Southern Hemisphere, London: Robert Hale, 1975, p. 165). |
| |
| 1959 - Later that same evening the Adelaide Weather Bureau received a |
| report of a UFO at about eight p.m. from Goolwa, near Port Elliott, |
| South Australia. And at 11:30 p.m. a young man spotted a |
| reddish-orange oval-shaped object on the ground about 100 meters from |
| the rural road he was driving on. Barry Neale, age 15, was driving |
| home between Goolwa and Port Elliot, South Australia when he saw the |
| glowing, reddish-orange object on the ground. It had a row of 8 or 9 |
| portholes, was about five meters (16 feet) wide, and it illuminated |
| the trees. He drove around the wooded area in time to see it take |
| off. "It climbed at an angle of 45 degrees towards Hindmarsh Island |
| and soon disappeared." No radioactivity was found at the spot. |
| (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| case 484; Keith Basterfield, UFO Research Australia, March 1982, p. |
| 23). |
| |
| 1965 - An aerial explosion, perhaps similar to the Tunguska blast of |
| 1909, affected an area of nearly a million square kilometers, |
| centered over Ashcroft, Canada and was observed some distance away by |
| an airborne airliner pilot, according to John Colombo. (Source: John |
| Colombo, UFOs over Canada: Personal Accounts of Sightings and Close |
| Encounters, p. 212). |
| |
| 1966 - At 2:00 a.m. a cluster of lights ahead over the road in |
| Vicksburg, Michigan resolved itself into a lighted disc-shaped object |
| when the witnesses' car got closer. Mr. Udvardy, age 32, heard a low |
| hum like a swarm of bees, and his car engine stalled. The UFO also |
| had a brilliant white searchlight. (Sources: NICAP case investigation |
| files; Gordon I. R. Lore, Strange Effects from UFOs, p. 70, Mark |
| Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 29; |
| Geoffrey Falla, Vehicle Interference Project Report, p. 34). |
| |
| 1966 - In San Francisco, California two women observed a large object |
| with a pulsating bluish light on top, an orange light below, windows, |
| and antennae, resting in a construction area at 6:00 a.m. Silhouettes |
| could be seen moving about inside, one of them gesturing as the craft |
| took off. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, case 744). |
| |
| 1966 - Charles Kozens, age 13, saw two objects land near Hamilton, |
| Ontario, Canada at 9:15 p.m. They were each 2.5 meters long, 1.2 |
| meters high, and had flashing lights. When he approached and tried to |
| touch an antenna on one of the objects, he received an electric |
| shock. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, case 743). |
| |
| 1967 - Three strange objects--a bright, orange light emitting a |
| shower of green sparks, and two smaller sources--were seen in a field |
| in Hanley, England. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, case 830). |
| |
| 1967 - Carol Watts had the first of a number of alleged contacts with |
| aliens at 10:30 p.m. in Wellington, Texas. He saw a 100 foot long |
| cigar-shaped UFO on the ground. A door opened and Watts was invited |
| to come inside by the occupants and he agreed to go. They gave him a |
| physical exam and took him on a flight into space. He recalled seeing |
| an unidentified map on the wall inside the craft. The encounter with |
| journey lasted no more than 20 minutes. (Sources: NICAP case |
| investigation files, report dated April 2, 1967; Hans Holzer, The |
| UFOnauts, p. 154; Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions: The Measure of a |
| Mystery. Volume 2: Catalogue of Cases, case 117A; Seattle |
| Post-Intelligencer, April 2, 1967). |
| |
| 1969 - As many as two hundred residents of of the Coenze neighborhood |
| in Nova Iguaca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil witnessed the descent of a |
| "mystery airplane" on Maxambona Hill in the middle of the afternoon. |
| It fell from the sky, falling in an unusually slow manner, in an |
| apparent controlled descent. Among the many witnesses was an elderly |
| man and his children. He told the children to go immediately to the |
| landing site to assist any possible survivors. As he watched hundreds |
| of townspeople converging on the hill, he saw two beings come out of |
| the craft. The craft itself seemed to be slowly "moving like a wing" |
| that was shifting slightly in the wind. When the first people neared |
| the site the object and its occupants vanished abruptly, and nothing |
| was to be found at the "crash" site. No one heard any engine noise as |
| the craft descended, and investigations at the site by the military |
| police found no wreckage. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1969-24, citing Fernande |
| Cleto Nunes Pereira & Dr. Walter Buhler, SPEDV Bulletin, 1975). |
| |
| 1974 - On this day on the Robertson farm in Callaway, Nebraska a dead |
| mutilated cow and calf were found. The tails had been removed, the |
| blood drained, and the cow's udder had been slit. (Source: Omaha |
| World Herald, April 9, 1974). |
| |
| 1974 - A small disc less than a meter in diameter hovered and spun at |
| treetop level over some trees in Tarragona, Spain at 4:00 p.m. The |
| limbs of the trees were thrashed about by a turbulence from the |
| object, and a big noise was heard. The disc flew off to the south. |
| (Source: FSR, December 1974, p. 2). |
| |
| 1974 - At 8:00 p.m. a "small bus" shaped object was seen in |
| Valensole, France. It had large wide windows and a blue-green neon |
| glow, and figures could be seen moving around inside it. The |
| principal witness, his wife, his son, and an 80-year-old woman all |
| saw the craft, and above it were seven vertical red lights. The |
| object appeared to be on the ground. From the house of the wife's |
| parents, at 8:30 p.m. the man saw it again, and was able to approach, |
| first in his car and then on foot, to within 500 yards of it. |
| Valensole is the site of a famous July 1965 humanoid encounter, and |
| there have been many other close encounters from this location as |
| well. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case 1974-62 (A1608), citing C. Lavigne, Lumieres dans la |
| Nuit, issue # 153; Michel Figuet & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le |
| premier dossier complet des rencontres rapprochees en France, p. |
| 484). |
| |
| 1975 - At 3:30 a.m. the furious barking of her dogs awoke a woman in |
| St. Hilaire de Cambrai, France. Frightened, the dogs ran and jumped |
| onto the top of the dining room table. The woman opened the curtains |
| and saw a red glow outside and then heard strange, indistinct murmurs |
| and voices. Her son-in-law woke up and looked out a window to see an |
| intensely red rectangular mass about 4.5 meters long and two meters |
| high. It flew half a meter above the ground in a strange hopping |
| motion. It continued on its trajectory, becoming round and |
| greenish-blue in color. Two other family member joined the first two |
| and watched the object move about 80 meters away, now becoming a |
| green spherical form. The dogs calmed down and so the son-in-law went |
| back to bed. Soon the intensity of the sphere lessened, while the |
| remaining witnesses remained watching out a window for the next half |
| hour. At 4:00 a.m. the streetlights brightened and the dogs began |
| barking again. At this point the UFO, now a green sphere, approached |
| the house rapidly and then disappeared. One of the witnesses suffered |
| from eye irritation the next day. Ground traces and "footprints" were |
| found in the vicinity of the house. (Source: Michel Figuet & |
| Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des rencontres |
| rapprochees en France). |
| |
| 1975 - Nine hours later, at 9:00 p.m. local time, a merchant in Japan |
| felt a strange urge to go out for a walk on the beach. Guchi Shinda, |
| age 42, went for this walk along the beach in Kawanoe City, Shikoku |
| Province, Japan when he started to experience a sensation of |
| weightlessness and saw what looked like multicolored electrical |
| discharges around him. Suddenly, about 30 meters away, a short white |
| creature appeared. The being had red eyes and a mouth and was wearing |
| a white inflated "astronaut" suit and a round white helmet. It |
| floated just above the sand, looking towards the witness who heard a |
| loud sound resembling "electronic music." He apparently passed out |
| and did not see the humanoid depart. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1975, citing CBA Newsletter, Denys Breysse |
| Project Becassine). |
| |
| 1990 - Two teenagers driving in Gulf Breeze, Florida had approached a |
| stop light at 9:30 p.m. when they saw a UFO over a nearby building. |
| The object hovered briefly, moved slowly overhead, and then ascended |
| out of sight. Minutes later a retired FAA air traffic controller also |
| sighted the object in the distance. (Source: MUFON case investigation |
| files, case 900735). |
| |
| 1993 - Kadima, Israel - The neighbor of the UFO witness from the |
| previous night felt her house tremble during the night. When she |
| opened her eyes she saw "a bald giant, 7 to 8 feet tall, with round, |
| yellow eyes and a small flat nose, dressed in gray metallic overalls" |
| standing next to her bed. "Don't be afraid. I will not harm you," she |
| heard in her mind as she saw the being gliding through the room. The |
| next morning, two additional flattened circles were found in the |
| field, eleven and twenty feet in diameter. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1993, citing Michael Hesemann, |
| UFOs: The Secret History). |
