Encounters with Aliens on this Day January 12
January 12
1950 – Flying over the Gulf of Mexico northwest of Cuba,
a USAF B-29 picked up three unidentified radar blips. The bogeys
hovered for awhile, and then orbited the B-29 at 3,000 mph. The
bomber’s airborne radar jammed for an additional ten minutes after the
sighting. (Source: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: January-March, p. 10).
1951 – At 10:05 p.m. two U.S. Air Force airmen at Stewart AFB in Orange County, New York
saw a fireball drop from a high altitude, and then zig-zag. It made
clear cut maneuvers, and changed colors. At 11:01 p.m. a saucer-shaped
object hovered near Fort Benning, Georgia for 20 minutes, then shot off to the south. U.S. Army 2nd Lt. A. C. Hale saw a light with a fan-shaped wake remain
motionless like a star then speed away.
It was estimated to be the size of a matchhead held at arms length.
There were nine other witnesses. A Project Blue Book unknown.

1953 – In Santana dos Montes, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Sr. M. Ramos Bessa had a close encounter with a small domed disc-shaped
UFO that landed in a field at 1:00 p.m. Two humanoids wearing
“brilliant lead” colored suits w shining ball on each of their
square-toed shoes. Soil sample.Physiological effect: severe headache.

1956 – At 5:30 a.m. a scarlet colored object streaked across the northeast sky in Kuantan, Malaysia and then dove into the sea. (Source: Ahmad Jamaludin, Summary of Unidentified Flying Objects and Related Events in Malaysia, case # 17).
1965 – At one o’clock in the morning Mr. Don Flickinger, a U.S.
Border Patrol officer, had his patrol car buzzed by a bright round flying
object in Lynden, Washington not far from the Canadian border. The
UFO hovered, then acelerated away with the sound of rushing air. The object had been tracked on radar. That same night, a round, glowing 30 foot wide object with a dome on top
landed on a nearby farm in Custer, Washington
melting the snow in a 12 foot diameter circle. The object illuminated
the yard, trees, and the side of the farmhouse. The circle was
melted in snow 16 inches deep, and the ground beneath was also scorched. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, April-May 1965, p. 4; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p.

1968 – On this night while driving on a highway in Carlisle,
Pennsylvania two female witnesses, Ms. Lehman and Ms. Little, saw a
large round white object, at times reddish, that emitted smaller objects
that maneuvered around independently. (Source: NICAP UFO
Investigator, March 1968, p. 1).
1969 – At eight o’clock in the morning two local UFO
investigators had driven to an isolated area of Mount Misery on Long
Island, New York in order to photograph the landscape. Walking on
foot near a wooded hill, they caught sight of a tall human like figure
that appeared to have a disfigured face and long wild black hair. He also
wore a long black garment. Upon seeing the UFO investigators the being
retreated silently into the woods. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid
Contact Database 1969, case # 1897, citing John A. Keel, Strange
Mutants).
1975 – At 2:30 a.m. ten 3.5-foot-tall humanoids gathered soil
samples for three minutes in Hudson Park in North Bergen, New
Jersey only 100 feet from the street. They wore coveralls with helmets
and got back into a domed disc-shaped craft. The disc made a humming sound
when it took off, and CB radio interference was noted. Ground marks.

1979 – On this night in the farming community of Sorocaba, Sao Paolo State, Brazil three newspaper reporters watched a large luminous disc-shaped object descend and
hover near the ground, while hundreds of other witnesses watched several luminous
discs maneuver over the nearby village. Two small beings, about
four and a half foot tall, emerged from the object. The beings were human in appearance
and were wearing one-piece outfits with fishbowl type helmets over
their heads. The helmets emitted bright beacons of light. Suddenly everything
became very dark and moments later the disc ascended and disappeared behind some
nearby hills. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1979, case # 1641, citing A. J. Gevaerd and Wendelle C. Stevens, UFO
Abductions at Maringa).
1980 – On this night in the town of Huayana, in the
Potosi Valley, Bolivia a man saw a lenticular-shaped
object over him. The UFO projected a beam of light and formed a dome
shaped luminous form on the ground, not far from the witness. He then
experienced strange sensations when he walked inside the light dome. He
was met there by a tall, blond-haired humanoid that had tanned skin and
slanted eyes with a very prominent chin. The man claimed he had sensations
of love and serenity projected to him by the tall humanoid. (Source:
Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1980, case # 1577, citing
Luis Fernando Mostajo, The Missing Link, issue # 124).
1988 – At 5:25 p.m. Ed Walters was driving in
his pickup truck on US 98 in Gulf Breeze, Florida
when an object appeared ahead of him shining a white beam of light
through the windshield, partially paralyzing his forearms and hands. He
stopped the truck and pulled over to the side of the road. He now felt
numb and his arms were stinging. The object approached quickly
and hovered three feet above the roadway. He was able to grab
his shotgun and got out of the truck, attempting to crawl under
it. At this point the object brightened and came closer. A beam of
white light struck Walters on the back of his legs. The object
next began rotating and a blue beam of light appeared under it. The
beam deposited five small beings on the roadway, all of whom wore
some type of shield like coverings. They had large black oval-shaped
eyes and carried glowing rods. The beings approached Walters, who
then managed to crawl back into his truck and was somehow able to start
it; he then drove quickly away from the area at high speed. (Source:
Edward Walters, Gulf Breeze Sightings, p. 107; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1988, case # 359, citing Donald Ware, Walter Andrus & Charles Flannigan, MUFON UFO Journal, issue # 239).
1989 – On this night a woman driving her car in Duclair, Seine-Maritime department, France
observed within 30 meters of the top of a marsh an enormous cylindrical
form with a cupola on top. The UFO was emitting a yellow light, had a
series of red luminescent portholes, and a white base. (Source: GEIPAN,
case # 26).
1989 – Two men driving in Underwood, Indiana
saw a diamond-shaped object for five minutes moving across the roadway
in front of their car. They drove directly under the craft, 100′ above
them.
1990 – A man and his three daughters were driving on Five Points Road in the suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana
at 8:30 p.m. when they saw a domed disc-shaped object and stopped
the car. The object hovered and moved, titled at an angle. It had a
little dark dome on top, multicolored lights (red, white, green and
blue), and a beam of light that shone toward the ground. It moved up
and down, and approached and receded. It also made no sound. The
witnesses were frightened and resumed driving to get
away. (Sources: Norma J. Croda, MUFON case file # 900737;
Francis Ridge, Regional Encounters, p. 128).
1993 – On this night, during a period of appallingly poor
weather conditions and repeated UFO sightings in the area, several local
residents of Langeness Fjord, Iceland reported seeing small
gray-colored humanoids walking on the ice on a nearby glacier. (Source:
Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1993, case # 1320, citing
Tony Dodd, UFO Magazine (UK), Vol. 12, # 4).
1993 – On this evening two men, Joseph Wiek and Harold Egeln,
were having dinner at a coffee shop in Greenwich Village, New York
when suddenly time seemed to slow down and everything became frozen in
“time”. Harold saw three humanoid figures enter the restaurant’s front
window in a blast of light. Joseph saw the three humanoids enter, but
instead of a light blast he saw one carrying something that looked like a
“trumpet”. Later Harold had a bizarre dream where he saw a saucer-like
object rimmed with what appeared to be trumpets, descend over the area.

2000 – In Caboolture, Queensland, Australia
a woman reported that a thick white cloud came through her screen door,
across the kitchen, blocked her TV, and went up against a wall
before it faded. Out in her backyard was a large triangular object with
a red arrow marking. She reported that she has had strange visions
since the event. (Source: Australasian Ufologist, January 2001, p. 38).
2000 – Hundreds of motorists on Highway A-1 in Rome, Italy saw a circular luminous object followed by a cylinder of light, which hung in the sky for several minutes. (Source: UFO Magazine (UK), May 2000, p. 53).
2000 – A family in rural northeastern Missouri
chased a UFO in their car starting at 8:45 p.m., but it suddenly came
closer and hovered over them, then followed them home. They witnessed
more than 30 lights that travelled at random through the sky, and they
also claimed to have seen seven aircraft flying around the scene.
