Encounters with Aliens on this Day
August 15
1954 - At 10:20 p.m. USAF Major W.J. Davis and Captain R.D. Sauers were flying a C-47 transport plane over San Marcos, Texas when they sighted a dark blue oblong object that paced the C-47, veered away, then crossed in front of it. The incident lasted five minutes. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns).
1964 - At 1:20 a.m. in New York City, New York Mr. S. F. D'Alessandro watched a 10' x 5' bullet-shaped object with wavy lines on the rounded front part and six pipes along the straight rear portion fly through the sky, making a "whishhh" sound. The witness's dog growled during the sighting. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns).
1964 - At 8:15 a.m. E. J. Haug of the San Francisco Orchestra and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and C. R. Bubb, a high school mathematics teacher, sighted three UFOs while vacationing at Yosemite National Park, California. The three bright silver, round objects flew in a stack formation at a high speed, changing positions within the formation. The sound of rushing air was heard during the 3-4 seconds that the sighting lasted. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns).
1970 -The witness, who was staying at his parents home that night, felt a strange compulsion to go out and drive to nearby Lake Michigan in order to watch the sky. He had arrived at the shore near Good Hart, Michigan at around 10:30 p.m. when a very bright light caught his eye. It seemed to have a descending trajectory, and he discounted any mundane explanation for what he saw. Watching through a telescope, he realized that the craft had orange, yellow, green and blue indigo lights. He could now see a large disc-shaped outline that glided lower towards his position. He saw a very brightly lit, large cartouche-shaped window. Inside he caught a glimpse of some figures who seemed to be peering over a console or instrument panel. The craft descended silently behind a rise about 100 yards from the witness. It hovered for a moment, then settled down on the beach.
For 15-20 minutes he saw no movement around the object, and so, curious, he walked towards it. The air around the UFO felt warm. He stopped about 50 feet from the huge object and heard a metallic sound. By the faint light available he saw a ramp come snaking out of the side of the ship toward him. The ramp sloped up to the blank hull. There was no opening visible, just a long ramp like a tongue sticking out from the side and burying itself in the sand just ahead of the witness. Without giving it much thought he walked up the ramp, and as he approached the hull seemed to dissolve ahead of him. He walked through an opening that appeared in his path. The interior of the ship resembled terra-cotta stone, and there was a soft illumination that emanated from the walls. It was comfortably cool inside and the air smelled of sage and cinnamon. He was in a corridor that stretched ahead of him in both directions until it disappeared beyond inside walls. Various small openings with little handles and knobs were situated at what appeared to be random locations along the corridor. He walked to his left down the corridor, the aroma of sage and cinnamon pervasive and persisting. He soon found a door and realized that the passage behind him was closing itself off into a door as well.
He walked into what appeared to be a central core of the object. Moments later he came upon an improbably placed viewing plate in which he could see the south end of Lake Michigan and lights from the nearby Big Rock Nuclear Power Plant. As he spoke to himself, his voice echoed strangely through the confines of the ship. He noticed to his right a view plate. He caught a glance through the darkened glass of several creatures that seemed to be at the controls. He looked inside the control room and saw five figures all with their backs to him. The figures were humanoid in form with large heads. They seemed to be occupied with a series of procedures. The five were all dressed in a similar style. The outfits were form-fitted, and tended to give off a bluish glow. The middle figure turned slowly to face him. The eyes of the humanoid were much larger than a human's and spread farther around the sides of the head. No nose was visible, with flat cheekbones, lending a somewhat rotund appearance to the face .
At one point the witness saw himself in his own mind, apparently the ways the creatures perceived him. The beings communicated via telepathy and he was escorted into another room where he was sat in a chair with knobs and controls in front of it. There he saw 3-D images flash through his mind at very high speed. At one point the aliens brought him a small cube-shaped container that contained a dark blue liquid, which he was told to drink. The aliens spoke among each other in a strange singsong language. He was told that, among other things, that the speed of light was "imaginary." He received the impression that the craft was impossibly larger inside than what it looked like from the outside. The aliens told him that their main interest in coming to earth was water. He was eventually deposited back at the same spot on the beach where he was initially picked up. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1970, citing Michigan Ufology Central)
1995 - The witness was lying in bed in his bedroom in Grand Haven, Michigan at 9:05 p.m. when he saw flashing lights that changed from blue to white. Four little creatures approximately 3-4 feet tall then appeared around his bed. Two were around his legs and the other two were up around his waist area. The creatures seemed to be doing some type of medical procedure on him. He then passed out and saw flashing lights again, and then the lights vanished. (Source: Albert S.

1995 - At midnight another witness awoke in Buena Park, California to briefly see an extremely bright light out on the patio. It appeared to be hovering about 3-4 feet from the ground. Later that night he was still very shaken when he saw a humanoid figure, with a very large head standing about 4 feet tall. The figure had an amazingly smooth stride, almost like it was walking on air. It seemed to move above the ground in the patio area just outside the blinds. Everything vanished suddenly.

1998 - The witnesses were on a country road in Deshler, Ohio when they saw a silvery flash overhead and watched a huge metallic rectangular craft abruptly appear. It had several windows and inside several figures could be seen moving around. There was another flash and the craft disappeared. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1998, case # 3591, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle).
