|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  November 18 |
| |
| 1951 - near Washington, D.C. The crew of a Capital Airlines DC-4, |
| Flight 610, and Andrews AFB Senior air traffic controller Tom Selby |
| witnessed an unidentified object with several lights at 3:20 a.m. It |
| followed the DC-4 for about 20 minutes and then turned back. (Source: |
| Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - Nello Ferrari, 41, a farmer from Castelfranco, Italy found |
| himself flooded with a reddish light on this morning when a large |
| plate-shaped object flew ten meters above him. The 20-meter diameter |
| disc was golden to copper in color. At the center of the bottom |
| surface was a cylindrical section, about five meters wide, made up of |
| a rapidly rotating part that produced a noise similar to an electric |
| motor. On the upper surface was a transparent turret inside which |
| three occupants were visible. The beings looked directly at him. They |
| looked to be normal humans in appearance, and wore rubber coveralls |
| and transparent facemasks. They spoke a few words, which were not |
| understood. A loud metallic noise was heard; and the top part of the |
| object lowered itself toward the lower plate. The sound gained |
| intensity, and the craft flew up vertically at very high speed. |

| Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 201). |
| |
| 1954 - At six o'clock in the morning a 12-year old girl in St. |
| Maudan, Cotes-Nord, France saw a UFO looking like "a glowing boat" |
| land in a nearby field. Three hairy dwarf humanoids emerged from the |
| object and began to gather apples from the nearby orchard. (Sources: |
| Lumieres dan la Nuit, issue #325; Larry Hatch, U computer database, |
| case 4177; Jean Sider, Dossier 1954 et l'Imposture Rationaliste, p. |
| 225). |
| |
| 1957 - In Maracaja, Brazil Farmers Joao Ernani and Pedro Zilli heard |
| a strange humming sound at 10:30 a.m., then saw two aluminum-colored |
| discs 200 meters away. Near them were six men of average height and |
| slim build, dressed in "dark gray suits glued to their bodies." The |
| discs were only about 3.5 meters wide, and hovered one meter above |
| the ground. They rose with a sharp whistling sound, while coconut |
| trees below them bent over double. Three more discs rose from behind |
| the trees, and then all five flew away toward the Atlantic Ocean. |
| (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| case 443). |
| |
| 1957 - An hour and a half later Mrs. Cynthia Appleton, age 27 and |
| mother of two, saw the figure of a man appear near her fireplace in |
| Aston, England at three o'clock in the afternoon at the same time |
| that a whistling sound became audible. He was tall and fair, wore a |
| tight-fitting plastic garment, and seemed to communicate with her |
| through telepathy, indicating he was looking for titanium and was |
| coming from a world of peace and harmony. He suddenly disappeared. |
| Mrs. Appleton had subsequent contacts with similar entities. (Source: |
| Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case |
| 442). |
| |
| 1959 - At 6:25 a.m. in Crystal Springs, Mississippi Mr. J. M. Porter |
| witnessed a row of red lights that flew slowly through the sky, and |
| then sped up incredibly fast. His sighting lasted from 5-6 minutes. |
| (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1961 - A strange flying object streaked across the skies above the |
| Theodore Goff farm on the afternoon of the 18th and left behind it a |
| mysterious substance that defied explanation. The strange, seemingly |
| metallic substance, came off the UFO in thin fibers and settled to |
| earth, draping itself like a finely-knit shroud over Goff's fields, |
| trees, machinery, and power lines. The farm is located near Chadron, |
| Nebraska. |
| |
| "It was about three o'clock," Goff related, "and I had been working |
| in my shed. I came outside and happened to look up and see this |
| strange ball flying through the air. It was kind of rough and seemed |
| to be rolling as it sped through the air. It was going faster than |
| any airplane I ever saw and it just disappeared from sight when it |
| got out of the sunlight. It made absolutely no noise." |
| |
| "Big chunks of it broke off and these fibers began settling down on |
| everything. The ball was about as big around as a tractor tire, four |
| feet in diameter or so and it came out of the southwest going |
| northeast. At first I thought it was an airplane but when I really |
| looked, I just didn't know what to think. It's hard to say how high |
| up it was, maybe a thousand feet or more. The fibers cannot be seen |
| with the naked eye except when they are in direct sunlight. Then, and |
| only then, can you see them glistening ghostlike in the sun. They can |
| be felt on the skin like spider webs, but they are much smaller in |
| diameter than a spider web. A human hair seems like a rope compared |
| to the fibers." |
| |
| "I didn't really notice the fibers much that day, but the next |
| morning my fields and trees just glowed with the stuff when the sun |
| hit them. You can pick one up, but you can't really tell if you have |
| one unless the sun hits it just right. It's the strangest stuff I |
| ever saw." |
| Attempts to break the weird strings were to no avail. They seemingly |
| could not be broken apart, but, when a hot cigarette was applied to |
| one of the strings, it did break. The string did not, however, burst |
| into flame or seem to burn. "They're so fine you just can't tell when |
| you've got one," Goff said. "You can feel it, but you can't see it." |

| Reporting Center website). |

| 1966 - On this night in Point Pleasant, West Virginia police captain |
| Paul Yoder and B. Enochs saw a huge bird-like creature, with big red |
| eyes, in the "TNT" dump area. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1966-59, citing John A. |
| Keel). |
| |
| 1973 - On the previous evening Enrique Castillo of Fulanos de Tal, |
| Colombia was again summoned telepathically to go to an isolated area |
| for possible contact with "extraterrestrials." Hours went by, when at |
| around three o'clock in the morning numerous illuminated objects |
| appeared, one of which detached itself from the rest and slowly |
| approached him in a zigzag fashion. It performed an astonishing |
| series of maneuvers before landing on three supports about 60 meters |
| away. The other lights disappeared. This craft was quite different |
| from the one he had previous encountered, of a rather peculiar shape. |
| A metallic ladder emerged, leaving a narrow, illuminated opening from |
| which a human shaped silhouette could be seen. Castillo started to |
| approach the craft but a deep voice ordered him to stop, and then |
| beckoned him to approach slowly. Soon a human looking alien named |
| Cyril, whom he had met on a previous occasion, met him at the |
| doorway. He invited Castillo to walk up the six steps of the ladder. |
| When Castillo extended his hand to greet him, he stepped back and |
| motioned him to stop between the last step and the door. A very |
| bright blue flash of light shone briefly, bathing Castillo's body. He |
| understood that the blue light was part of a sterilization system. |
| |
| On board were two other very different beings with "avocado-shaped |
| heads", dressed in one-piece, ample overalls. They smiled constantly. |
| He went to greet them, but they just bowed without extending their |
| hands. The little men were bald, with pale skin, seemingly completed |
| coated with a film of oil. They were about 1.5 meters (4 feet) tall, |
| well proportioned, with large normal eyes and normal ears, a large |
| "Greek" nose, and prominent jaws. Cyril declared that these creatures |
| came from Mercury. Castillo was incredulous because he knew there |
| were immense temperatures contrasts on that planet. But he was told, |
| "you would be astonished by the civilizations that have flourished |
| there." Via a spiral stairway Castillo was taken to the second level, |
| which he found rather cramped. Cyril announced that the craft was on |
| its way to the "mother ship." One of the other beings took Castillo |
| to a closet on the first floor and gestured to him to put on a |
| uniform, which stretched to fit him perfectly. |
| |
| A gigantic craft came into view. A hatch opened, from which came an |
| intense light. Inside the mother ship Castillo was led through |
| several passageways and in one area he noticed an emblem, in high |
| relief, of a winged serpent holding what looked like an egg. Inside |
| this object Castillo also encountered toilet facilities. In the hall |
| Castillo claims to have encountered yet another thoroughly |
| unbelievable being, a giant man no less than three meters tall. His |
| features were remarkably similar to those of a common terrestrial. |
| His skin was grayish, his hands hairy with normal fingers, shaped at |
| the tips like spatulas. He was dressed in a dull gray uniform. At one |
| point Castillo boarded a smaller craft accompanied by Cyril and the |
| two smaller humanoids. It took them on a ride to different places |
| apparently on earth. Later back aboard the mother ship Castillo |
| claims to have seen a robot, with some human features, and for the |
| first time, women who wore tight-fitting suits and had decidedly |
| feminine features. "Their golden hair framed the most beautiful faces |
| I had ever seen," Castillo enthused. They were as tall as the men, |
| perhaps 1.75 meters. Eventually Castillo was returned to an area not |
| farm from Bogota, Columbia. He had been away for about 26 hours. |

| Timothy Good, Unearthly Disclosure). |
| 1973 - On this evening four girls between the ages of 14 and 24 years |
| old were accompanied as they drove from Tracy, Quebec toward Montreal |
| by a luminous white flying ball of light. It was perhaps the size of |
| a watermelon. It sometimes flew ahead of them and sometimes behind |
| them, at a considerable distance. They passed through a cloud of red |
| dust that obscured their vision, and shortly after emerging from the |
| cloud they had to swerve to avoid a little man wearing dark clothing |
| and a lappet helmet, who was standing on the white line in the middle |
| of the road. He appeared to be sweeping with push-broom. He was short |
| in stature and they could not see his face. After passing the |
| "sweeper" they saw a car and three dark clad people beside the road. |
| There were several other UFO sightings in this part of Quebec the |
| same evening. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-114, citing Claude MacDuff |
| and Marc Leduc). |
| |
| 1982 - Late at night Andreas Schneider sighted a maneuvering |
| disc-shaped object over Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands. |
| He lost consciousness and had an out-of-body experience, feeling that |
| his "astral" body was taken into the object. Inside he encountered |
| several short beings with wrinkly rough gray skin and huge heads. The |
| beings communicated by using telepathy and told Schneider they were |
| from the planet "Humo." (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1982, case # 3180, citing S.I.B. Betelgeuse). |
| |
| 1993 - At 1:00 a.m. Ms. Kimmy Martin awoke with a start in Baca |
| Chalets in the San Luis Valley of Colorado. She looked out into the |
| gloomy night and felt somebody was watching her. Then something moved |
| on her porch outside, and a group of Grey alien looking creatures |
| peered in the window at her. She was not sure if they were really |
| physically there or some form of apparition. Not frightened by their |
| presence, she watched them for almost an hour, while they watched |
| her. Finally she told the beings to go away and let her sleep, and |
| the 20 or so visitors then trooped away obediently. (Source: Albert |
| S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1993, case # 2546, citing |
| Christopher O'Brien, The Mysterious Valley). |
