|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  Janu ary 24 |
| |
| 1950 - At 4:50 p.m. a UFO shaped like a hemisphere with a flattened |
| lower part, and estimated to be 70-80 meters in diameter, maneuvered |
| in the sky five miles away from a C-45 transport plane flying from |
| Pope AFB in Halifax County, North Carolina. The C-45, flying at an |
| airspeed of 160 mph, could not catch up with it. The object |
| oscillated with a pendulum motion. The Air Force explanation was that |
| the object sighted by military pilots Fehrevach and Edwards was a |
| balloon. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: January-March, p. |
| 14; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 11). |
| |
| 1953 - At 1550 hrs. in Suwon, Korea two 0.36 meter diameter discs |
| were spotted by an airman in the sky to the east of the airfield. |
| They were lost from view in the clouds. (Source: Richard F. Haines, |
| Advanced Aerial Devices Reported During the Korean War, p. 65). |
| |
| 1957 - At around 11:00 a.m. an airman and two others on the ground in |
| Chippenham, Wiltshire, England witnessed a dark saucer-shaped object |
| with a black stripe that appeared behind a jet. It abruptly vanished. |
| (Sources: Flying Saucers, August 1957, p. 36; UFO Nachtrichten, |
| September 1957). |
| |
| 1957 - On this night an airline pilot flying over Indianapolis, |
| Indiana and many others saw four brilliant nocturnal lights trailing |
| a large pulsating ovoid object. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, p. 136; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. |
| 28). |
| |
| 1958 - An unidentified object followed behind Sputnik II while |
| orbiting over Brooklyn Park, South Australia on this evening. |
| It travelled fast to the east, and then swung to the north before |
| disappearing. (Source: Michael Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern |
| Hemisphere, p. 163). |
| |
| 1959 - Mr. Armstrong and a second person in Centennial, Sydney, New |
| South Wales, Australia heard skyquakes at 11:30 a.m. They then |
| observed a metallic, cigar-shaped object hovering for 5 minutes. |
| It made 90 degree turns, then shot away extremely fast. It was |
| absolutely silent. (Sources: Michael Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern |
| Hemisphere, p. 53; Loren E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the |
| Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1959: January-March, p. 32). |
| |
| 1963 - On this day a U.S. Post Office safety engineer in Lexington, |
| Kentucky saw a large round UFO traveling east to west, and a |
| delta-wing aircraft traveling from north to south. The line of flight |
| of the disc-shaped UFO intersected the aircraft's path at a right |
| angle. (Source: Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 140; Paris |
| Flammonde, UFO Exist!, p. 367). |
| |
| 1967 - A 14-year-old youth with the last name of Kirsch took a |
| photograph of a disc-shaped structured object over Yorba Linda, |
| California at 5:25 p.m. The photo was reported in the Santa Ana |
| Register newspaper, and subsequently evaluated by NICAP as that of a |
| genuine (not hoaxed) flying object. (Sources: Santa Ana Register, |
| June 7, 1967; Ann Druffel, MUFON UFO Journal, June 1976, p. 10; |
| Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, |
| p. 286). |
| |
| 1967 - At 8:10 p.m. Nicholas Rinaldi, a 37-year-old commercial |
| artist, as well as 19 other people driving along Interstate 91 in |
| Cromwell, Connecticut spotted a 300 foot long dark cigar-shaped |
| object flying low over some highway construction on the new Route 9 |
| interstate highway extension. Rinaldi drew a sketch of the object, |
| which had three bright red lights, one at each end and one in the |
| center. The UFO made a whirring sound. The total duration of the |
| sighting, based upon the times reported by the independent witnesses, |
| was 15 minutes. The Air Force attempted to explain the craft as a |
| mis-identified helicopter, based on the notion that a helicopter |
| would have had three red running lights. (Sources: Donald A. Johnson, |
| on-site investigation; Middletown Press, January 26, 1967; APRO |
| Bulletin, May-June 1967, p. 9). |

| |
| 1968 - At around 3:00 a.m. two men watched from the shore at Henley |
| Beach, South Australia as a yellow shaft of light shot down from a |
| UFO in the dark night sky. The shaft of light was about four inches |
| wide and lighter in color than its yellow source. (Source: Michael |
| Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 180). |
| |
| 1968 - John Everhart was driving home in Indiana, Pennsylvania at |
| 3:30 p.m. when he saw a round, saucer-shaped object with a dull |
| aluminum finish hovering over a pond some 100-200 feet away. Its top |
| section was transparent, and he could see two men, normal in every |
| appearance, wearing light gray coveralls inside. He could also see |
| levers and little lights as might appear on a computer. Under |
| hypnosis he remembered "hearing" them talk, perhaps telepathically. |
| They were engaged in fixing something and hurried when they saw him |
| watching them. In a subsequent hypnotic session he recalled being led |
| into the UFO by a slender man in black. Inside were four seats on |
| pedestals, and the light inside the craft was so bright that it hurt |
| his eyes. He was sent by elevator into the room where the repairs |
| were going on. The men spoke to each other in English. He was |
| instructed to sit in a chair that rendered him immobile. There was a |
| time lapse in his memory of several hours between his leaving work |
| and his returning home. This case is apparently an early abduction |
| report describing apparently normal human-looking abductors. No |
| further hypnotic regression sessions were attempted. (Sources: David |
| F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1968-12 (A0912), citing William Weitzel; George D. Fawcett, Flying |
| Saucers, April 1969, p. 22; Brad Steiger, Saga UFO Report, October |
| 1976, p. 30). |
| |
| 1968 - At 10:20 p.m. two Saturn-shaped objects were sighted over some |
| woods in Fayette County, Indiana. One of the objects landed, while |
| the other passed over a house, making a motor sound. (Source: Francis |
| L. Ridge, Regional Encounters, p. 25). |
| |
| 1968 - Numerous witnesses reported seeing a huge glow in the sky that |
| flew over Concepcion del Uruguay, Entre Rios, Argentina to the |
| southeast.  This was followed by a huge power blackout at 11:00 p.m. |
| (Source: APRO Bulletin, July-August 1968, p. 7). |
| |
| 1970 - A witness named Herbosch reported a blindingly bright |
| saucer-shaped object that was seen at ground level at 7:45 p.m. in |
| Rhode-St. Genese, Brabant, Belgium. It was absolutely silent, but |
| despite its closeness gave off no detectable odor nor heat. (Sources: |
| Jacques Bonabot, Catalog of Belgian Cases, case 287; Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case 9559, citing Charles Garreau, Soucopes |
| Volantes Vingt-cinq Ans d'Enquetes, p. 198). |
| |
| 1974 - A young woman returning home at Aische-en-Rafail near |
| Lierneaux, Belgium at 4:03 p.m. saw an object shaped like a flattened |
| cupola resting on the ground. The engine and radio in her car both |
| failed and she stopped near the object. It had three sections, |
| colored red, yellow, and black. After about 30 seconds, it rose up |
| slowly and disappeared behind a line of trees. The car's engine came |
| on by itself as the object left. There were two other sightings that |
| evening in France and another in England. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, |
| UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 359, citing SOBEPS |
| News, No. 9, June, 1977; Richard H. Hall, Skylook, February 1976, p. |
| 10; Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 142; Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 255). |
| |
| 1974 - On this night in Souppes-sur-Loing, Seine-Marne department, |
| France two witnesses watched an ovoid UFO give off flashes and change |
| color. It also made multiple stops and starts, before finally |
| shooting off rapidly to the north. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |
| issue 142). |
| |
| 1975 - On this night an orange glowing ball flew over Barham, Kent, |
| England at a low altitude and illuminated the area. It stopped and |
| hovered for awhile, then engaged in some maneuvers. It finally flew |
| off toward the south. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case |
| 11648, citing FSR, volume 21, number 1). |
| |
| 1978 - Between Leicester and Hinckley, England at least 17 people saw |
| a delta-shaped object shortly after 7:00 p.m. It flew low overhead, |
| making no noise. It had steady red, blue, and yellow lights and as it |
| headed south from Leicester it was seen by 12 more witnesses in |
| Hinckley. There was also a sighting earlier that evening of an |
| unusual nocturnal light by a married couple in Patcham, East Sussex, |
| England. (Sources: Philip J. Imbrogno, Contact of the 5th Kind, p. |
| 18; Awareness, July 1978, p. 5). |
| |
| 1979 - In this day in Toquilla near Tunja, Colombia a dentist and |
| three students were traveling by car when their engine suddenly |
| stalled. They then saw two metallic disc-shaped objects land on |
| tripod landing gear nearby, and three men wearing tight fitting, |
| silvery outfits and large helmets who exited from a hatch in one of |
| the objects. A sudden whirlwind surrounded their vehicle and they |
| could no longer see either the figures or the objects. When the |
| "whirlwind" abated both the figures and the UFOs were gone. (Sources: |
| Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 13623, citing UFO Newsclipping |
| Service, issue 119; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1979 |
| [electronic version], citing Miguel Forero, Centro Investigacion |
| OVNI, Colombia). |
| |
| 1979 - Driving near Lindale, Texas at around 10:00 p.m. 20-year-old |
| John Scott Cates had stopped his car and gotten out to relieve |
| himself when a blue beam of light from the sky struck him. It caused |
| his hair to stand up like an electric static charge. Two UFOs with a |
| violet-red light moving between then appeared, and he experienced a |
| six-hour long memory lapse. His next recollection was sitting in |
| front of the car on the ground. He was scared, shaky, cold, and his |
| stomach was in knots. He noticed that his engine restarted when a |
| ringing noise sounded. He had a memory loss and the clock in his car |
| was found to be 5 1/2 hours off. He was left with holes in his shirt, |
| holes in his trousers and socks, and a 5-inch wide diamond-shaped |
| burn on his chest. His hair was also somewhat burned. (Sources: |
| Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery, case |
| 201(b); Richard F. Haines, Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO; p. |
| 191; Richard C. Niemtzow, MUFON UFO Journal, September 1979, p. 3; |
| Bob Pratt, UNICAT database, case # 62, citing Richard C. Niemtzow; |
| John F. Schuessler, UFO-Related Human Physiological Effects, p. 85). |
| |
| 1982 - In the village of Ipoh in Perak, Malaysia five early morning |
| joggers watched a Saturn-shaped object with a revolving rim and sharp |
| lights descend nearby them at around 7:00 a.m. (Source: Ahmad |
| Jamaludin, FSR, December 1988, p. 22). |
| |
| 1982 - A flashing light with irregular flashes of red and white |
| traveled from west to east silently across the sky in Stockdale, |
| Texas. It arced slightly and appeared to hover in the eastern sky, 30 |
| degrees above the horizon. (Source: J. Allen Hynek, CUFOS case files, |
| report form dated January 24, 1982). |
| |
| 1988 - At 5:30 p.m. on this evening at his home in Gulf Breeze, |
| Florida Ed Walters took his twenty-first UFO photograph of a domed, |
| disc-shaped object. The blurring movement of the object suggests that |
| when the object left it accelerated at 20 G's, according to |
| photometric analysis. (Source: Timothy Good, The UFO Report 1990, p. |
| 210, citing MUFON UFO Journal, issue # 239). |
| |
| 1989 - Two large triangular shaped objects that were accompanied by |
| 4-5 smaller bright objects were seen by dozens over Valliant, |
| Oklahoma for more than an hour. The large objects had red, white, and |
| blue lights. They hovered and moved slowly at tree-top level. The |
| smaller lights maneuvered between them. (Source: Richard F. Haines, |
| Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO, p. 109; McCurtain (Oklahoma) |
| Daily, February 1, 1989). |
| |
| 1992 - A 50-year-old woman and her husband were in the kitchen of |
| their home in Mezobereny, Hungary when a short, dull black, |
| egg-shaped figure suddenly crossed the room and passed into the |
| adjoining room, making a strong "snorting" sound. The upper half of |
| the being was blue-gray in color. Next, a vibrating vertical line |
| became visible. Next to the stripe a beautiful woman appeared and |
| looked at the woman. The main witness then followed the two beings |
| into the room where they vanished. The husband was somehow prevented |
| from witnessing this encounter. Three days later, at 6:30 p.m., the |
| woman heard a loud female voice and felt compelled to go out to the |
| garden. There she saw an ovoid, cabin-like object on the ground. She |
| entered it, and inside she found herself in a large gray room where |
| numerous naked children and women stood around. She then lost |
| consciousness, and later woke up back in her bed. The next day large |
| red sunburn-like spots appeared on her upper belly, and the lower |
| parts of her breasts. (Sources: SOS-Ovni Phenomena, issue 12; Albert |
| S. Rosales, 1992 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, case # 629, |
| citing Gabor Tarcali, Hungarian UFO Network). |
| |
| 1995 - Two clamshell-shaped discs accompanied by a cluster of small, |
| white satellite objects flew over Lebanon, Tennessee at 4:42 a.m. |
| (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center). |
| |
| 1997 - A witness in a car driving north of Dourdan, Essonne |
| department, France at 9:15 p.m. sighted at least two disc-shaped |
| objects emitting several beams and small blue lights. The UFOs |
| maneuvered around in all directions for over a minute.  (Source: |
| Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 342).  |
| |
| 1998 - In Santiago, Chile at the Alfalfal Dam five observers first |
| saw two fireballs fly pass at 8:00 p.m. Next, an 18-meter long ovoid |
| object flew up the river canyon. (Source: Joseph Trainor, UFO |
| Roundup, volume 3, number 7). |
| |
| 2000 - At 12:30 a.m. a group of friends were sitting in a house in |
| Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and when they glanced out a window |
| they saw a dark figure jumping behind the trees. It had no |
| distinguishable features as the entire body was dark, but its body |
| fluctuated in and out of transparency. The witnesses had apparently |
| seen this and multiple other humanoid figures on other occasions, in |
| different locations. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 2000 [electronic version], citing UFO Database.com). |
| |
| 2001 - On this evening a luminous object hovered over Canyon Lake in |
| Comal County, Texas. Spotlights of the Army Corp of Engineers dam |
| facility lit up the low flying object. Four helicopters appeared and |
| attempted to surround the object, according to the married couple who |
| witnessed it. The UFO maneuvered away, the vanished. After the |
| helicopters departed two more UFOs appeared and returned to the site. |
| (Source: UFO Magazine (USA), April 2001, p. 20). |
| |
| 2003 - At 6:13 p.m. a black equilateral triangle with three glowing |
| white dome lights on the tips of its apexes, plus a small red |
| blinking light and a small constant red light was sighted over |
| Kingston, Ontario by a woman. It flew just above the treeline, and |
| passed silently, directly over her car. (Source: Peter Davenport, UFO |
| Reporting Center, January 2003 web archive). |
| |
| 2007 - A slow-moving cylinder was sighted high in sky over Ottawa, |
| Ontario at 12:25 p.m. It sped up, then streaked across the sky. |
| (Source: Chris Rutkowski, 2007 Canadian UFO Survey, case # 31, citing |
| NUFORC). |
| |
| 2010 - A multi-colored, illuminated, circular object hovered nearby, |
| and crossed over a busy interstate highway in Tampa, Florida at 7:40 |
| p.m. The sighting lasted for 6 minutes. (Source: Peter Davenport, UFO |
| Reporting Center, January 2010 webpage, report uploaded February 14, |
