|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  June 4 |
| |
| 1943 - On this day in 1943, 12 brilliant star-like lights were seen |
| maneuvering in all directions over Chauny, France. They flew at a |
| high altitude, and were absolutely silent. (Source: Lumieres dans la |
| Nuit, Vol. 338). |
| |
| 1952 - In 1952 at 6:45 p.m., two small and one very large disc were sighted |
| flying at 15,000 feet altitude in Chartres, France. The three discs |
| hovered, and then shot straight up and away. (Sources: Jacques |
| Vallee, computerized catalogue, case #655; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A |
| History. 1952: June-July 20th, p. 3). |
| |
| 1955 - Over the Melville Sound in the Northwest Territories of |
| Canada, a National Security Agency RB-47 jet bomber, newly re-fitted |
| for aerial electronic surveillance, made radar and visual contact |
| with a disc-shaped UFO for 9 minutes. This encounter occurred in 1955 |
| near the north magnetic pole. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case #4362; Richard M. Dolan, UFO's and the National |
| Security State: Chronology of a Cover-up 1941-1973, p. 408). |
| |
| 1956 - There was a reported landing of a UFO near Hicksville, New York on |
| Long Island at just after midnight in 1956. The unconfirmed report |
| said there were landing traces, but the report couldn't be followed |
| up. (Source: Civilian Saucer Intelligence of New York Newsletter, |
| June 1956, p. 10). |
| |
| 1963 - In 1963 a multicolored UFO, the size of a light truck, was reported |
| to have landed in the vicinity of Lyle, Minnesota at 3:10 a.m. The |
| multicolored object was seen ascending into the sky from a nearby |
| town. Police searched the area for 3 miles on both sides of the |
| Iowa-Minnesota border but found nothing. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, |
| January-February 1964, p.1; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, case 572). |
| |
| 1965 - The Gemini-4 mission with astronauts McDivitt and White |
| sighted a "weird object" with "arms" while in orbit over the Pacific |
| Ocean near Hawaii. Motion picture film was shot. (Sources: NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, July-August 1965, p. 3; Frank Edwards, Flying |
| Saucers--Serious Business, p. 208; Richard M. Dolan, UFO's and the |
| National Security State: Chronology of a Cover-up 1941-1973, p. 412). |
| |
| 1968 - Artist Benjamin Solari Parravicini was walking home after |
| midnight in Buenos Aires province, Argentina when he was confronted |
| by a fair skinned man with eyes "so light in color that he looked as |
| if blind." The man addressed him in an unintelligible guttural |
| language. Looking upward, the witness saw only 50 meters away a |
| hovering aerial craft with no lights. He became dizzy, and when he |
| recovered, he found himself inside the machine, with three other |
| people. One of these, a very handsome man, was questioning |
| Parravicini in an alien language, which he was able to understand |
| telepathically. The being told him that they would take him once |
| around Earth, and he observed Japan, France, and Chile before being |
| returned to the same street corner. Since this experience the alien |
| beings have allegedly contacted Parravicini several times. (Source: |
| David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid |
| Reports, case 1968-31, citing Gordon Creighton, FSR, |
| September-October 1968). |
| |
| 1969 - In 1969 numerous red lights were seen hovering in the sky over |
| Penwortham, South Australia at 6:30 p.m. In Eden Valley five minutes |
| later a UFO with two rows of red lights, connected by a white beam, |
| buzzed a motorist. Afterwards three circular burn marks were found on |
| the hood of his car. At 7:30 p.m. a man driving between Brinkworth |
| and Clare saw red lights flying parallel to his car, heading to the |
| east. At 8 p.m. at Porter's Lagoon, 15 miles east of Clare, South |
| Australia a red light pulsated is it hung stationary over the lagoon. |
| At about the same time a red light came down the valley from Camel |
| Hump Ridge in Gum Creek, while a blue UFO hovered over the range and |
| later went behind a mountain. (Source: Michael Hervey, UFOs over the |
| Southern Hemisphere, p. 184-5). |
| |
| 1969 - On that same night in 1969 a fifteen-foot in diameter silver ovoid |
| object flew 500 meters over the town of Sao Jose do Rio Preto, |
| Brazil. It emitted blue and orange beams of light. At 8 p.m. a doctor |
| took a photograph of a 50-meter wide red-orange UFO while it hovered |
| just off the ground and 150 meters away in Lavras, Brazil. Earlier |
| that morning at dawn in Brasilia, a silent, dish-shaped UFO |
| maneuvered up and down, to-and-fro, and shot up multi-colored beams |
| of light. (Sources: O Dia, June 6, 1969; FSR Case Histories, October |
| 1971, p. 15; Larry Hatch, U computer database, cases #8878 and |
| #8879). |
| |
| 1970 - In Evillers, Doubs department, France in 1970, six children reported |
| seeing four three-and-a-half-foot tall humanoid beings. The bulky |
| humanoids wore red tops with black straps, and carried large sacks on |
| their belts. They also saw a strange gray "dog" creature that jumped |
| a distance of 40 feet. At around 2:45 p.m. Marie, age 10, was |
| standing on the road opposite a house that was being used as a |
| storehouse and stable, when she saw a figure at a windowpane-less |
| second floor window. The being was the size of a child, but had a big |
| protruding stomach. She told other children and several of them, led |
| by Noel, age 12, entered the building. Noel saw a small person about |
| 3.5 feet tall in a red sweater with a black shoulder strap across it, |
| which he chased down the stairs and outdoors to the pasture. |
| |
| That evening at 6:30 p.m. Bertrand, age 10, was near the building |
| when he noticed a "boy" about 3.5 feet tall standing beside it. He |
| had a big belly and was wearing a red sweater crossed by a wide black |
| strap. This "boy" ran around behind the building. A short time later |
| Noel, Simon, and Barthelemy all saw a long gray animal, which they |
| called a "dog", make a giant leap from the second floor window (about |
| 12 feet high), and landed on the ground some 40 feet from the house. |
| It left footprints "like a calf's." Then a small person like those |
| seen earlier came out of the barn and called the "dog" to him with a |
| snap of his fingers. He then passed a thick leash around its neck. |
| Then three more such beings appeared, all alike except that one |
| lacked a large stomach. They wore black hats with a peak behind. All |
| four, with the "dog", then began to run very rapidly down the road |
| away from the village. Two trucks passed and as they did the little |
| men and their "dog" nimbly jumped off the road and hid. They ran out |
| of sight. The next day the "dog's" paw prints were found. Six days |
| later, the building mysteriously caught fire and burned to the |
| ground. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case 1970-21 (A1082); Fernand LaGarde, |
| Mysterieuses Soucoupes Volantes, p. 185). |
| |
| 1972 - In 1972 at dawn, a farmer watched a disc-shaped UFO hover on its edge |
| near Riverina, New South Wales. The object veered about in all |
| directions in the sky for fifteen minutes, then shot straight up and |
| away. Later that same day shortly after 6:00 p.m. in Bents Basin, New |
| South Wales, Australia a three-meter tall (ten foot!) robot |
| mysteriously vanished, while a 25-foot diameter disc hovered very low |
| to the ground. The six witnesses reported having headaches as |
| aftereffects of their encounter, and there were burn marks on one of |
| their automobiles. (Sources: (1) APRO Bulletin, May-June 1972, p. 1; |
| (2) Bill Chalker investigation files, case 2037; Geoffrey Falla, |
| BUFORA Vehicle Interference Project Report, p. 60). |
| |
| 1974 - A dark disc with a tail appendage hovered over New York City for five |
| minutes around 6:30 p.m. in 1974. It was sharply outlined in the sky, |
| and at an estimated altitude of 900 meters. (Source: NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, December 1974.) |
| |
| 1978 - Four years later a UFO again appeared over New York City. In |
| the afternoon, at a medical center on the Eastside of the city near |
| the FDR parkway, a medical student took a photograph of a three-foot |
| tall egg-in-cup saucer. The episode had many independent witnesses |
| with accompanying television coverage and newspaper reports. |
| Approximately five hours earlier that day a private pilot and his |
| passenger reported a near collision with a hovering saucer-shaped UFO |
| over Pasadena, California. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, September 1978, |
| p. 1; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 41). |
| |
| 1980 - In 1980 two brothers commuting to work in Abasto, Argentina saw a |
| strange luminous object in the pre-dawn sky at around 5:30 a.m. It |
| made no noise, was 12 meters in diameter, and emitted white and |
| reddish flashes of light. The UFO flew over fast, halted above the |
| two men, then shot off to the north. (Source: UFO Newsclipping |
| Service, July 1980, p. 9, citing La Razon, June 5, 1980). |
| |
| 1984 - In 1984 a very luminous object shone a bright light into the window |
| of a mobile home in Staunton, Virginia. The UFO was football-shaped, |
| about the size of a car, and made a faint buzzing noise. (Source: |
| APRO Bulletin, February 1985, p. 7). |
| |
| 1989 - In 1989, according to a report in the MUFON UFO Journal, a security |
| guard and an air traffic controller at Air Force Facility 42 in |
| Palmdale, California witnessed a silver flying object and three |
| orb-shaped UFOs at 7:45 p.m. during testing of the B1-B bomber. There |
| was also a rumor of an abduction occurring on this date at the same |
| facility. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, November 1990). |
| |
| 1989 - At 10:30 p.m. a disc-shaped object that emitted beams of light |
| was observed from directly underneath in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico. |
| (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, |
| report posted on website April 16, 2005). |
| |
| 1992 - In 1992 a 28-year-old man in Londonderry, New Hampshire was watching |
| star-like lights move around outside his window, and was hoping to |
| get a good photograph of what was going on when a structured |
| unidentified craft came flying over the trees and flew slowly down |
| his street, twice. Strangely, he made no attempt during this close |
| encounter to take a photograph. (Source: Ken Foster, MUFON |
| investigation files # 930406Eb; MUFON UFO Journal, June 1993). |
| |
| 1996 - Several people were staying at a country home in rural Apache |
| County, Arizona. They were sitting around the kitchen table at 10:30 |
| p.m. when two of them saw a bright UFO streak by, apparently crashing |
| in the distance. They all lept into a jeep and raced off in search |
| for the crashed object. They crossed State Highway 61, drove along an |
| old cattle trail, and soon came upon an elderly couple standing next |
| to their parked van on the road side; both were staring off into the |
| countryside. They asked them if they had seen a UFO crash, and were |
| told by them that they were also trying to find it. The elderly |
| couple had been driving west on Highway 61 toward Show Low when they |
| saw the object streak by and appear to crash. They all then drove on |
| to the apparent crash site. This area had only a few trees, scattered |
| cedar and junipers, and a lot of rocks and canyons. After driving for |
| about an hour they came to a very deep canyon and could drive no |
| further. Deep in the canyon was the crashed UFO. It was an oblong, |
| egg shaped object, about the size of a barn. Its color was |
| strange--it was described as the color of skin with a fading tan, and |
| it faintly glowed. The glow was sufficiently bright enough to |
| illuminate the bottom of the canyon. There were two "pillars" at the |
| front of the object. These pillars may have been posted on either |
| side of a door, although a doorway was not visible. The witnesses |
| also claimed they saw a helicopter at the scene, and a black pick-up |
| truck. They were baffled as to how the truck could have gotten down |
| into the remote canyon so quickly, unless there was some road they |
| did not know about. They watched the scene for awhile, then left. |

| |
| 1997 - In 1997 three people witnessed a fluorescent flying object as it flew |
| over White Plains, New York. It made no sound. (Source: Peter |
| Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, June 1997 web page). |
| |
| 1999 - A somewhat round but irregularly shaped object, with a surface |
| texture "like a sponge", flew near a mountain in Trail, British |
| Columbia at 10:30 p.m. in 1999. (Source: Peter Davenport, National |
| UFO Reporting Center, June 1999 web page). |
| |
| 2002 - At 1:03 a.m. on this night in 2002, lights were seen moving toward |
| the east in a zigzagging flight path in Montreal, Quebec. (Source: |
| UFO Research Manitoba website, 2002 Canadian UFO Survey, case #201). |
| |
| 2004 - Around 7:00 p.m. a rounded "A"-shaped object was seen moving |
| irregularly in the sky over Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada for 15 |
| minutes, then it flew away. (Source: Canadian UFO Survey 2004, case # |
| 348). |
| |
| 2006 - An extremely bright object that was highly maneuverable and |
| shooting sparks was seen over Houston, British Columbia at 4:20 p.m. |
