|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  May 12 |
| |
| 1909 -  A cigar-shaped airship with a searchlight was seen flying |
| over Terrington Marsh, Norfolk, England at 9:45 p.m. It made a |
| rattling motor sound and flew off to the north. It was back again at |
| 10:30 p.m.  (Source:  Carl Grove, FSR, November-December 1970, |
| p. 10). |
| |
| 1948 - A private pilot flying over Westfield, Indiana reporting |
| seeing a small "Graf-Zeppelin" that zoomed away at jet speed. |
| (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, |
| case # 129; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 10). |
| |
| 1952 - A restricted military document shows that a UFO was sighted at |
| 2145 hours UST 40 miles west of Roswell, New Mexico. The object was |
| blue-green in color and its estimated altitude was 30,000-40,000 |
| feet. The object traveled three times over approximately the same |
| triangular course. The rate of speed could not be estimated |
| precisely, but was faster than a jet aircraft. The intensity of its |
| color brightness varied with the object's altitude (Source: Fran |
| Ridge, http://www.nicap.org/waves/1952fullrep.htm, citing AF Form |
| 112).  |
| |
| 1954 - In 1954 a UFO shaped like a red dinner plate hung in the sky on edge |
| for 15 minutes over Dayton, Ohio at around 7 p.m. It tipped, changed |
| shaped, and then sped off. (Source: Leonard H. Stringfield, CRIFO |
| Newsletter, June 1954, p. 2). |
| |
| 1956 - At 3:30 a.m. in Lakewood, Los Angeles County, California |
| several witnesses had a close encounter with a silent, brilliant |
| saucer-shaped object with wires around its edge. It made four turns, |
| then shot away extremely fast. There were at least two independent |
| witnesses, and there were physiological effects reported. (Source: |
| Loren E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A |
| History. 1956: May-July, p. 26). |
| |
| 1962 - At 4:10 a.m. V. and G. Tomasini and H. Zenobi, while driving |
| on Route 35 at Kilometer 72 near La Pampa, La Pampa province, |
| Argentina saw a rectangular object shaped like an illuminated |
| railroad boxcar. As they came close to it, the object took off, |
| crossed the road at low altitude, rose with a flame, and separated |
| into two sections that flew away in different directions. It made a |
| humming sound and was seen on the ground for one minute. The grass on |
| the ground was burnt in a 60m radius circle at the landing site, |
| insects were carbonized, and the ground was "petrified." Sample |
| analysis was done by the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base. At 4:30 p.m. |
| another close encounter occurred northwest of Bahia Blanca, Buenos |
| Aires province, Argentina that involved several witnesses and |
| reportedly had lasting physiological effects. (Sources: La Nacion, |
| May 24, 1962 Oscar A. Uriondo; FSR Case Histories, December 1973, |
| p. 17;  NICAP UFO Investigator, September 1962, p. 7; APRO Bulletin, |
| July 1963, p. 2, 4; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, case # 533). |
| |
| 1967 - At 11:10 p.m. a glowing yellow elliptical object with three |
| round spots on the underside passed below the clouds and was observed |
| through binoculars in Putney, England. (Source: Flying Saucer Review, |
| September-October 1967, p. 31). |
| |
| 1967 - Miss N. Parshall, a sixteen-year-old girl in California, |
| reported sighting a cigar-shaped object with a dull aluminum |
| finish"shoot around in sky" at around four o'clock in the afternoon. |
| It came to within 60 feet of the aircraft and then veered away. It |
| seemed ready to ram the plane from behind, but instead shot away very |
| fast. The sighting lasted an estimated 90 seconds. (Sources: NICAP |
| case files, report dated July 26, 1967; Condon University of Colorado |
| UFO Study, case N1378). |
| |
| 1967 - At 8:00 p.m. a silver ellipse-shaped UFO rapidly approached |
| two people driving in a vehicle, five miles south of Neola, Utah. It |
| slowed its speed and descended level with the road. It then tilted |
| and flew over the crest of a nearby hill and was gone from sight. |
| (Sources: Frank Salisbury, The Utah UFO Display, p. 69 and appendix |
| case A48; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence Volume II: A Thirty Year |
| Report, p. 339). |
| |
| 1967 - That same night a disc-shaped object swooped down to just 25 |
| feet above the ground in Galion, Ohio. It projected a circle of light |
| down around a paperboy with the last name Prim, who found himself |
| unable to move and with a gap in his memory of what happened next. |
| (Sources: Allan Hendry, The UFO Handbook, p. 46). |
| |
| 1969 - At 9:45 p.m. a brilliant circular object hovered at a low |
| altitude near some railroad tracks in Casino, New South Wales, |
| Australia. A married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Hinitt, watched beams of |
| light pulse upwards from the ground toward the UFO. Burnt patches of |
| vegetation were found at the sight in a heavy rainstorm. (Sources: |
| Ted Phillips, Physical Traces Associated with UFO Sightings, p. 64; |
| ACOS Bulletin, March 1977, p. 12 and June 1977, p. 20). |
| |
| 1969 - At 9:30 p.m. CDT a helmet-shaped disc estimated to be 15 |
| meters in diameter was seen widely over the Lake Zurich suburbs in |
| Illinois. It was reportedly seen over a two hour period. It made a |
| buzzing sound, and dogs reacted to its presence by barking. (Sources: |
| Chicago Tribune, May 25, 1969; FSR, September-October 1971, p. 27). |
| |
| 1971 - At 10:30 p.m. a 25 foot long ovoid UFO was seen near a house |
| in Elizabeth, New Jersey for two minutes. It made no sound. It made a |
| weaving motion through the sky as it flew away. (Source: Larry Hatch, |
| U computer database, case 9276). |
| |
| 1973 - A UFO gyrated in the sky over the harbor of Lourenco Marques, |
| Mozambique for more than an hour in the pre-dawn hours. (Source: Rand |
| (South Africa) Daily Mail, May 15, 1973). |
| |
| 1973 - At 9:20 p.m. a man driving west on Route 76, near Kent, Ohio |
| observed a group of flashing lights overhead almost directly above |
| his car. They moved with him until he stopped out of curiosity, and |
| so did the lights. Looking up through the windshield he could see a |
| football shaped object that flashed from red to blue to white in a |
| repeating cycle. He then saw a human figure materialize 10 feet below |
| the object. The figure was clad all in silver, and descended rapidly |
| to the roadway directly in front of the car. When it reached the |
| pavement the figure stood looking to the right, then to look directly |
| at the witness. After a half a minute the figure ascended rapidly, |
| "like a helium balloon," towards the object. It vanished before |
| reaching it. |
| |
| The figure was entirely silver in color and seemed to lack hair and |
| ears. A narrow mouth with a small pointed chin were also observed. He |
| was uncertain whether the silvery body was a close fitting garment or |
| the actual skin color, because he saw what appeared to be the faint |
| outline of a vein running down the inside of one of the arms. The |
| feet were clad with boots or shoes, with a heavy, distinct line |
| between the sole and the boot itself. The height of the figure was |
| not much more than 2.5 feet. When it descended it was approximately |
| ten feet in front of the car. The UFO shot up in a rapid vertical |
| ascent, rocking the car "as if a semi was passing." (Source: David F. |
| Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1973-010, citing Larry Moyers and Marc Candusso). |
| |
| 1974 - A UFO covered with over 30 orange and white lights that were |
| each as bright as a welder's torch flew over Maxton, North Carolina. |
| It hovered over a mobile home park shortly after midnight. It was |
| pursued by two men, a police officer and a farmer, in their cars. The |
| UFO made a remote landing but no traces were found on the ground. |
| (Source: George D. Fawcett, FSR, January 1975, p. 31) |
| |
| 1975 - At 4:10 p.m. a solid looking flying object, trailing exhaust, |
| flew northeast through the sky over Howrah, Tasmania. The UFO changed |
| shape and then made a ninety-degree turn. It then executed a 180 |
| degree turn, and then swooped down and away. A movie film was made of |
| the UFO. (Source: Richard Hall, Skylook, December 1975, p. 15). |
| |
| 1975 - That same night at 11:30 p.m. a green light was seen hovering |
| over an area two miles east of Peesane, Saskatchewan for 12 minutes. |
| It then flew away to the east. A perfect circle was found in the |
| grass at the site, two days later. (Source: Ted R. Phillips, Skylook, |
| December 1975, p. 16). |
| |
| 1979 - At 1:30 p.m. three observers in Atwater, Los Angeles County, |
| California watched a 3' x 7' disc hovering over power line poles. It |
| made a humming sound that seemed to attract birds that followed it as |
| it flew away. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # |
| 13697, citing UFO Newsclipping Service, issue 119). |
| |
| 1980 - A brilliant blue disc hovered at a low altitude for ten |
| minutes over Bulawayo, Zimbabwe at six p.m. It shot straight up, |
| stopped, then shot up again and was gone. (Source: Cynthia Hind, UFO |
| Afri News, July 1990). |
| |
| 1981 - A man and a woman, a truck driver and a cashier, were driving |
| near Clatskanie, Oregon at around five o'clock in the morning. A |
| large delta-shaped UFO surrounded by a turbulent fog or mist "like |
| smoke from a chimney" followed their truck for 15 miles. It had a |
| white light and two orange lights. As it directed a beam of light at |
| their vehicle the truck lost power, and they smelled an odor like |
| antifreeze. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, January 1982, p. 15). |
| |
| 1982 - A large, disc-shaped UFO was seen by the roadside in Turis, |
| Spain. It perimeter was revolving and it appeared to be searching the |
| area with beams of light. It rose up and flew away. (Source: Larry |
| Hatch, U computer database, case 13877, citing APRO Bulletin). |
| |
| 1989 - A huge disc-shaped UFO was seen in Hubei Province, China. It |
| illuminated the surrounding landscape a red color, and hung silently |
| low in the sky for 20 minutes. It then rose to an estimated 100 |
| meters and shot off. (Source: Timothy Good, The UFO Report 1991, p. |
| 128). |
| |
| 1991 - Two students in Kuala Tarengganu, Malaysia reported seeing |
| several tiny humanoid figures wearing red clothing standing near a |
| drain in a school compound in the middle of the afternoon. Teachers |
| searched the area but failed to find anything. The next day several |
| six-inch tall beings were seen again in the same area. (Sources: |
| Ahmad Jamaludin, Centre for Malaysian UFO Studies internet website; |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1991, case #1492, citing |
| Nexus New Times, Vol. 2 # 4). |
| |
| 1991 - Three elongated silver UFOs appeared in the daylight sky |
| during a UFO conference being held in Huejutla, Mexico. At 7:00 p.m. |
| a fiery ball of light levitated a man off the ground twice north of |
| Camp Redondo, Brazil in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. He felt |
| heat and cold and suffered an eye injury. (Sources: Lucius Farish, |
| UFO Newsclipping Service, October 1993; Bob Pratt, UFO Danger Zone, |
| p. 2). |
| |
| 1992 - A boy in Connersville, Indiana reported being paralyzed in his |
| bed in the early morning hours by a strange looking, elderly humanoid |
| visitor. The boy had apparently reported UFO abduction experiences on |
| several occasions. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1992, case 1970; Francis Ridge, UFO Intelligence Newsletter, |
| January 1995, citing Don Worley). |
| |
| 1993 - Several witnesses from San Marcos, Tula, Mexico including |
| Maria de Lourdes Uribe, age 34, heard bizarre noises and saw |
| mysterious lights coming from a nearby field at around one o'clock in |
| the morning. A local youth approached the field and saw a huge |
| glowing object hovering low over the ground. Five humanoid figures |
| descended from the object and stood around it as if standing guard. |
| They soon went back inside. Large circular ground traces and what |
| appeared to be dug out trenches were found at the site. A dog |
| belonging to one of the witnesses reportedly went missing soon after |
| the incident. Several days before this incident a huge dark object |
| that nearly covered the moon's disc was seen hovering over the area, |
| and two days before an engineer saw a huge object suspended just |
| above a roadway near the town of Tepeji, Mexico. (Source: Albert S. |
| Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1993, citing Luis Ruiz Noguez, |
| Oscar Garcia, Hector Escobar & Hector Chavarria). |
| |
| 1995 - At 10:50 p.m. a young woman in Duarte, Los Angles County, |
| California reported observing a triangular ship suspended in the |
| southeastern sky for three minutes. There were three smaller lights |
| below larger object. All four of the objects flew off together. |
| (Source:National UFO Reporting Center, May 1995 webpage; Larry Hatch, |
| U computer database, case # 17232). |
| |
| 1997 - At 4:15 p.m. a saucer-shaped object flew overhead in Ginkunai, |
| Lithuania. It passed within 10 meters of five observers, |
| making rhythmic pulses and flashes. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case # 17928, citing Joseph Trainor, UFO Roundup, volume 2, |
| number 24). |
| |
| 1998 - At 9:00 p.m. a husband and wife in Chebanse, Illinois each |
| observed flying discs. (Source: Jay Rath, The I Files: True Reports |
| of Unexplained Phenomena in Illinois, p. 56, citing NUFORC). |
| |
| 2001 - At 7:30 p.m. a long, silver, shiny cylindrical object without |
| wings was sighted at 45 degrees elevation in Cleveland, Ohio. It was |
| moving horizontally just above the power lines. It left no vapor |
| trail, and moved much faster than the Goodyear Blimp, which is often |
| seen in the area. (Source: George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, |
| Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, p. 119). |
| |
| 2002 - A security guard atop a parking garage in Orlando, Florida saw |
| three dark triangular craft approach in formation from the north. The |
| UFOs began to move in lazy turns, banking and doubling back. Each |
| craft had six white lights on the front and a blunt rear section. |
| (Source: UFO Magazine (USA), August 2002, p. 18). |
| |
| 2002 - At 9:30 p.m. a large, soundless, glowing orange dumbbell |
| shaped thing, that looked like two halves hooked together with a |
| metallic cylinder, was observed in Clarkston, rural Asotin County, |
| Washington. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, |
| May 2002 webpage, report uploaded April 27, 2007). |
| |
| 2004 - A man and a woman were walking their dog at around 11:00 p.m. |
| in Sequin, Texas when they spotted a huge, disc-shaped craft coming |
| down from the sky. The woman became agitated and began yelling that |
| there was a loud ringing in her head and she believeed she could hear |
| voices trying to talk to her. The dog also became disturbed and ran |
| off. Two more discs appeared in the sky, and the man began to cry. |
|  He later described the UFOs as charcoal gray in color, and ringed |
| with black lights. All three of the craft appeared to have strange |
| writing or symbols on their hulls, which the witnesses thought |
| resembled ancient writing. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database, citing National UFO Reporting Center, May 2004 |
| webpage). |
| |
| 2010 - At 1:24 a.m. in Bedlington, Northumberland, England a 40-foot |
| across black boomerang shaped object with five green lights |
| underneath flew overhead at approximately 50 feet. It was a very |
| close and terrifying encounter, according to the witness. (Source: |
| National UFO Reporting Center, May 2010 webpage, report uploaded May |
| 12, 2010). |
| |
| 2010 - During the middle of the day a bright, star-like object was |
| observed roaming back and forth over the Livermore, California hills |
