| Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
|
||
| |
|
||
| May 4 |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1897 - The whole town of Jenny Lind, Arkansas watched an airship fly |
|
||
| over from the northeast to the southwest at 7:30 p.m. It landed, and |
|
||
| a human looking occupant got out. He spoke English, and told them he |
|
||
| was out to "catch birds." (Sources: St. Louis Post Dispatch, May 5, |
|
||
| 1897; Jerome Clark, The Unidentified: Notes Toward Solving the UFO |
|
||
| Mystery, p. 147; Philip L. Rife, It Didn't Start with Roswell, p. |
|
||
| 24). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1932 - During a time of personal crises, the witness, now a retired |
|
||
| pastor, found himself in a city of 16,000 located 150 miles west of |
|
||
| Toronto, Ontario. On this particular night he was standing on a |
|
||
| street lit up by a brilliant white light from above. Looking up, he |
|
||
| saw the light came from a round cloud with a scalloped edge, about |
|
||
| 200 yards overhead. From the cloud-like object streamed down a light |
|
||
| like a laser beam. He next saw a young man with golden hair standing |
|
||
| beside him, dressed in a suit of a similar color. The man had radiant |
|
||
| blue eyes, and was about 5.5 feet tall. He smiled at the witness and |
|
||
| told him that his work would be in that city, and reminded him that |
|
||
| “the cottages in the rear of the mansion are as important as those |
|
||
| who dwell in the mansion.” He told him the witness would reside there |
|
||
| for six years and would then work his way to the west coast. |
|
||
| According to the man’s account, the prophecies were fulfilled. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1950 - At 10:00 p.m. in Birmingham, Alabama a ghostly object grew and |
|
||
| changed shape; it flashes; then suddenly shoots up and is gone. There |
|
||
| were two witnesses together and an additional independent observer, |
|
||
| and the event lasted 10 minutes. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer |
|
||
| database, case # 1722; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1953 - On this afternoon at 1:50 p.m. a military witness at Harmon |
|
||
| AFB, Newfoundland, Canada watched a flying football fly by at low |
|
||
| altitude and high speed, heading south. It made a tinny sound. The |
|
||
| sighting had a 3 second duration. (Source: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A |
|
||
| History. 1953: March-July, p. 47). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1954 - On the night of May 4th, 1954, three police officers in Canfield, |
|
||
| Ohio watched a reddish orange, glowing disc fly out of sight. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1955 - One year later, at 1:38 p.m. at the Keflavik Air Force Base in |
|
||
| Iceland, two USAF officers, USAF Lt. Col. E. J. Stealy and 1st Lt. J. |
|
||
| W. Burt, spotted 10 white oval-shaped objects, some 60-70 feet in |
|
||
| diameter, moving "rapidly and jerkily." One of them left a brief |
|
||
| smoke trail. The UFOs moved at a tremendous rate of speed, and were |
|
||
| gone from sight in five seconds. This case was listed as an "unknown" |
|
||
| by Project Blue Book. (Sources: Project Blue Book case files counted |
|
||
| in official statistics, case #3523; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook |
|
||
| Unknowns; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 61). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1960 - A yellow, cigar-shaped or elliptical object with four evenly |
|
||
| spaced windows was observed at ground level by an architect in |
|
||
| Sarasota, Florida at 9:15 a.m. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
|
||

||
| |
|
||
| 1960 - In 1960 a giant cigar-shaped object crossed the skies over the town |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1966 - At 3:40 a.m. an FAA air traffic controller in Charleston, West |
|
||
| Virginia tracked an unidentified, non-transponding target about five |
|
||
| miles to the 11 o'clock position from Braniff Airline Flight 42 |
|
||
| headed east at 33,000 feet, which the crew saw high above them as a |
|
||
| bluish-white object giving off a brilliant flaming light of |
|
||
| alternating white-green-red colors. Radar showed the object veering |
|
||
| away to 8-10 miles away at the 10 o'clock position, then come at the |
|
||
| Braniff airliner to within three miles distance, then made a 180° |
|
||
| left turn to the NW again within a diameter of 5 miles at 1,000 mph |
|
||
| [5 G's]. The Braniff crew confirmed the object descending from 20° |
|
||
| elevation above horizon. (Source: J. Allen Hynek, The UFO Experience, |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1966 - Later that evening at 10 p.m. a white disc flew up to a farm |
|
||
| in Cardington, Ohio and hovered low over a farmyard for 30 minutes. |
|
||
| It took off fast when an airplane came into view. Two more sighting |
|
||
| reports were made that day to Project Blue Book from nearby Columbus, |
|
||
| Ohio. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case #7237; APRO |
|
||
| Bulletin, May-June 1966; Project Blue Book files). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1969 - An abduction occurred in 1969 to a soldier while fishing on the banks |
|
||
| of the Rio das Velhas near the city of Bebedouro in the state of |
|
||
| Espirito Santo, Brazil. Jose Antonio da Silva had left his home in |
|
||
| Belo Horizonte and taken a bus to Bebedouro to go fishing the evening |
|
||
| before. At about midnight he reached the banks of a small lagoon and |
|
||
| set up his tent and fished for a while without success. The next day, |
|
||
| at about 3 p.m. he became aware of figures moving around behind him. |
|
||
| He heard a deep sound like a groan, then was struck in the legs by a |
|
||
| "burst of fire" coming from a form partly hidden in the bushes. |
|
||
| Seized with a cramp and feeling a numbness in his legs, he knelt |
|
||
| down. A beam of light, greenish in the middle and reddish on the |
|
||
| edges, had hit him. In a matter of seconds he was seized under the |
|
||
| armpits by masked two four-foot-tall humanoid beings, who wore |
|
||
| shining light-colored garments and aluminum colored helmets with |
|
||
| facemasks. Tubes ran from the masks to small containers on their |
|
||
| backs. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| They blindfolded him and brought him before a little man with long |
|
||
| red hair and a big nose. They dragged him to a craft that was shaped |
|
||
| like a vertical cylinder terminated by wider saucer shaped top and |
|
||
| bottom; rods from the base of the cylinder supported the upper disc. |
|
||
| It was only bout six feet high and nine feet wide. Inside was a |
|
||
| cubical room, brilliantly lit but from no visible source. Here they |
|
||
| fitted on him a helmet like their own, then tied him down to a seat. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| He felt a sensation of taking off. During the flight, which he felt |
|
||
| lasted for hours, they talked among themselves in an incomprehensible |
|
||
| language with many "R" sounds. At one point in the journey the craft |
|
||
| seemed to turn on its side for awhile. When they landed he was |
|
||
| blindfolded and dragged into a large room, where a little man without |
|
||
| a spacesuit confronted him; he had long reddish hair and a beard that |
|
||
| flowed to his waist. He was strongly built, and his skin was pallid |
|
||
| in color. He had large round, green eyes and a big nose, and his |
|
||
| mouth appeared toothless, "like a fish." To the side of the witness |
|
||
| were laid 4 human cadavers, one a Negro's. A dozen more little men, |
|
||
| all much resembling the leader, were in the room. They examined his |
|
||
| fishing tackle and other possessions. Several carried weapons. The |
|
||
| leader then addressed him in his incomprehensible language, |
|
||
| simultaneously making sketches on a whiteboard beside him. |
|
||
| |
|
||
| He was given a stone cup and drank a bitter green liquid that |
|
||
| restored his energy and made him better able to comprehend what the |
|
||
| alien was trying to say. The leader conveyed to Da Silva the idea |
|
||
| that he was expected to help them land on Earth, a proposition that |
|
||
| the soldier rejected, fingering his rosary. The leader became |
|
||
| irritated, snatched the rosary away, and showed it to the others. At |
|
||
| this point a kind of vision appeared to Da Silva of a Christ-like man |
|
||
| with long fair hair and beard, dressed like a monk, who spoke to him |
|
||
| in Portuguese, giving him a message, which he was sworn to keep |
|
||
| secret. After this vision had vanished, Da Silva was again |
|
||
| blindfolded, dragged back to the spacecraft, and returned to Earth in |
|
||
| the same manner as he had been taken away. He was released during the |
|
||
| night. When morning came he found that he was near Vitoria, more than |
|
||
| 200 miles from Bebedouro, and that four and a half days had passed |
|
||
| since his abduction. He suffered various physical ailments later. |
|
||
| Jose Antonio has repeatedly refused to reveal the content of this |
|
||
| message. (Source: Hulvio Brant Aleixo and Dr. Walter Buhler, FSR, |

||
| 1975 - A UFO was seen near the ground in Cupey, Puerto Rico at 4:20 a.m. in |
|
||

|
||
| eight rectangular lights. Ground marks were found at the site |
|
||
| including a burnt area 25 feet in diameter. There were also large |
|
||
| three-toed footprints, fourteen inches long and spaced 50" apart. |

| it. The object turned in flight. Ninety minutes later the main |
|
||
| witness heard a second explosion. That witness was Brigadier General |
|
||
| C. Smith. (Source: Saga UFO Report, December 1976, p. 80). |

|
||
| of Glenwood Springs, in Garfield County, Colorado. (Source: Fate |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1976 - About five hours after the Belgium UFO encounter a farmer |
|
||
| driving through one of his fields in Orfordville, Wisconsin at dusk |
|
||
| noticed a hovering object 150 feet above him. It had two bright |
|
||
| headlights and two rotating red lights. An hour later his son saw the |
|
||
| same lights; they did a U-turn in the sky and flew away. (Sources: J. |

|
||
| fellow factory employees in Atuba, Para state, Brazil fulfilling a |
|
||
| prediction made on May 4, 1976 that UFOnauts would come back for him. |
|
||
| He turned up the next day, 40 miles away, and said he had been in the |
|
||
| company of extraterrestrials, but feared revealing the details of his |
|
||
| encounter. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
|
||

| |
|
||
| 1978 - Soon after a blinding blue light caused a road accident near |
|
||
| Villa Mercedes, San Luis province, Argentina about 100 city residents |
|
||
| saw 50 greenish-blue UFOs flying over the city. In the midst of a |
|
||
| dazzling light, they perfectly executed a series of maneuvers: they |
|
||
| broke into two formations and then rejoined, and then they |
|
||
| disappeared from view. Shortly after that some people reported that |
|
||
| they had witnessed the landing of a saucer-shaped craft nearby. A |
|
||
| being dressed in a green uniform emerged from the craft for a short |
|
||
| while. (Sources: Buenos Aires Herald, May 8, 1978; Albert S. Rosales, |

||
| 1989 - At 9:30 in Easton, Connecticut an object shaped like a flying |
|
||
| wing with red, yellow, and blue lights in back and a blinking red |
|
||
| light on right side flew over tree line behind a house. Just before |
|
||
| 10:00 p.m. an engineer and two others watched a boomerang or V-shaped |
|
||
| object as big as a football field near a golf course in Trumbull, |
|
||
| Connecticut. It made a faint humming sound and had many colored |
|
||
| lights. The engineer was driving home when he first saw the object, |
|
||
| which had red and white lights turned on at first, then turned off; |
|
||
| with the light turned off it looked like a blue boomerang. |

| grass an intense blue-green color. Four hours later, at 10:20 p.m. in |
|
||
| St. Georges, Belgium, a dog howled when a silent disc-shaped object |
|
||
| hovered in the yard, just one meter above the ground. The lights on |
|
||
| the object lit the ground and area. (Sources: Inforespace, issue no. |

|
||
| in Bariloche, Rio Negro province, Argentina on this night. He was |
|
||
| found 8 days later by bloodhounds in an isolated canyon, dehydrated |
|
||
| and suffering from hypothermia. He claimed he had been abducted by |
|
||
| "extraterrestrials"; two men dressed in white and an attractive woman |
|
||
| that picked him up and apparently wanted to operate on him. He had no |
|
||
| other memories about what occurred to him. (Source: Albert S. |
|
||

|
||
| |
|
||
| 2002 - At 3:45 p.m., two separate witnesses in towns nearby to |
|
||
| Farmingdale, New York observed an egg-shaped UFO move at low speed |
|
||
| and altitude in a clear blue sky. The object seemed "transparent |
|
||
| rather than solid, more like a ring" and it left a white |
|
||
| contrail-like wake much like a boat in the water would do. (Source: |
|
||
| UFO Magazine (USA), August 2002, p. 19). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 2003 - A pulsating light "danced" across the sky at 10:15 p.m. in |
|

||
| |
|
||
| 2006 - A security officer on patrol in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada |
|

||
| |
|
||

|
||
| in his tent while camping in the Lake District, England. At 1:30 a.m. |
|
||
| he was awakened by a deep humming sound that seemed to vibrate |
|
||
| through him. The inside of his tent was also lit up by a dim glow. |
|
||
| What was most puzzling and disturbing was that from that time onward |
|
||
| he could remember nothing until dawn on Wednesday morning, when he |
|
||
| woke up outside his tent, stark naked and very cold. His tent and |
|
||
| clothes had a very strong 'ozone' smell. His only recollection was |
|
||
| being laid face down on something hard, and having something hard |
|
||
| pushed into his rectum, which was very sore at the time. (Source: |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 2009 - At 3:33 a.m. in South St. Louis, Missouri a loud noise was |
|
||
| heard. Looking out, an oval-shaped object was seen hovering just 100 |
|
||
| foot off the ground. It had red, white, blue, yellow and oranges |
|
||
| lights. It only illuminated itself, not the surroundings.A saucer |
|
||
| shaped object with a changing colored light was observed from New |
|
||
| Richmond, Wisconsin at 11:00 p.m. It remained in one position in the |
|
||
| sky for over an hour. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 2010 - In Davie, Florida a silent, translucent Y-shaped object was |
|
||
| sighted just above the tree level at 10:30 p.m. It flew on a steady |
|
