|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  March 17 |
| |
| 1903 - On this evening a father and daughter observed a glowing 100 |
| foot long cigar shaped object with two rows of four equally spaced |
| windows. It was hovering just behind some trees over a farm in |
| Helmer, Indiana. As the man ran toward the object it moved away, and |
| zigzagged across the sky at great speed, accelerating away toward the |
| west. (Sources: Coral E. Lorenzen & Jim Lorenzen, UFOs: The Whole |
| Story, p. 14; Richard H. Hall, From Airships to Arnold: A Preliminary |
| Catalogue of UFO Reports in the Early 20th Century (1900-1946), p. 5, |
| citing Jerome Clark). |
| |
| 1950 - Six bluish white disc-shaped objects turned in the sky over |
| Ankara, Turkey on this day. They next shot straight up into the sky |
| and vanished from sight. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 211). |
| |
| 1950 - Six to twelve black octagon-shaped objects were seen from the |
| air over Little Rock, Arkansas at 4:30 p.m. The object made a sharp |
| sudden turn to the southwest. (Sources: Project Blue Book files |
| counted in official statistics, March 1950 report; Richard F. Haines, |
| Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO, p. 179). |
| |
| 1966 - A glowing ovoid object descended slowly over Barra de Tijuca, |
| Brazil at 1:50 a.m. It circled Pt. Marisco, and then flew off the the |
| west. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database) |
| |
| 1966 - Mr. Ward saw an object 12 meters in diameter and 7 meters high |
| over Harrow, Ontario, Canada. It emitted a pulsating white light, and |
| landed in a field. It had a revolving section on it with portholes. |
| (Sources: Ray Palmer, Flying Saucers, August 1966; Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 729, p. 323; |
| Data-Net, May 1970). |
| |
| 1966 - A police officer in Milan, Michigan observed an object in the |
| southwestern sky at midnight. He thought it was a plane about to |
| crash, although no sound was audible. He tried to contact the police |
| headquarters, but his radio transmitter did not work properly. The 16 |
| meter wide object, which now had colored lights spinning around its |
| periphery, came to within 25 meters of the patrol car, followed it |
| for a kilometer, then flew off toward the northwest. The object was |
| described as being like a "very huge pie" lighted with red, blue, and |
| white lights spinning completely around it. The witness had been a |
| policeman for 10 years, and had never seen anything like it before. |
| (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| case 730; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, |
| case 166; Lloyd Mallan, The Official Guide to UFOs). |
| |
| 1969 - At 2:45 a.m. a retired army general had become stranded along |
| a dirt road near Barra da Tijuca, Brazil after his car engine had |
| quit. Moments later he saw a light rising above a nearby hill and |
| felt a strong compulsion to walk towards it. After a short walk he |
| came upon an object with translucent walls that gave off a dazzling |
| light. Despite the translucent appearance the object seemed to be |
| made of some metallic substance. Part of the surface of the object |
| flung itself back, and three human-like figures stood in the opening, |
| one a woman. The witness was invited inside by one of the men, who |
| informed him that the other two were also humans. After a short ride |
| in the craft he was told that time, as we conceive of it, doesn't |
| exist. He was eventually released back to his vehicle, which could |
| quickly be started again without any difficulty. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1969, case # 1483, citing Irene |
| Granchi, International UFO Magazine, Volume 1, No. 3). |
| |
| 1969 - Mr. Herbert Lancaster told police that a saucer-shaped UFO |
| landed in front of his car at a crossroads in Lincoln, Nebraska on |
| this night and "turned off" his car's engine. A human-appearing |
| occupant, "an ordinary average guy," was seen peering out from a |
| window inside the craft. After a short while UFO "took off at high |
| rate of speed." (Source: Lincoln Star, March 18, 1966; David F. Webb |
| & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1969-27, |
| citing the Lincoln Star). |
| |
| 1972 - On this night in Loveland, Ohio police officer Johnson's |
| headlights picked up an animal lying on the road. As he opened his |
| car door it rose up on its hind legs and showed itself to be a |
| leathery skinned biped with a frog like face. It was three to four |
| feet tall, like the creature seen by Officer Williams two weeks |
| before. It stepped over the guardrail and went down the embankment of |
| the river. Officer Johnson took out his service revolver and fired a |
| shot at it, but missed. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1972-39, citing Richard |
| Mackey & Ron Schaffner). |
| |
| 1974 - At 3:30 a.m. Cristobal Munoz Romero, a driver for the |
| President of the Cadiz, Spain City Council, was driving through a |
| foggy area five kilometers from the Rota Naval Airbase near Sanlucar |
| de Barrameda when he saw a metallic white light above and to the |
| right of his car. It advanced to within 10 meters of the road and |
| then, seconds later, he saw the silhouette of a human looking being |
| more than 2 meters tall next to the road. The being appeared to be |
| wearing a diver suit from which projected a bright, cylindrical, |
| solid like coherent beam of light from the front part of the collar. |
| The light could lengthen and shrink. As the car passed by the entity |
| the engine began to fail and the automobile was "shaking like a leaf" |
| in a very strong wind. The witness sped up and, in fear, quickly left |
| the site. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case 1974-08, citing Vincente-Juan Ballester |
| Olmos, Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, |
| case 361). |
| |
| 1992 - In Ipigua, Sao Paulo state, Brazil birds were seen fleeing |
| from a farming area at 5:30 p.m. Next a 12-meter in diameter metallic |
| disc rose up from ground, and a palm tree was seen bending and |
| swaying away from the direction of the UFO when it took off. A |
| circular depression resembling a "saucer nest" was left in the |
| vegetation. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 17660, |
| citing Boletim CEPEX, issue # 28). |
