Encounters with Aliens on this Day
February 7
1950 - A 30-foot wide cone-shaped object flew in over the shoreline at Alameda Naval Yard in California. There were six military witnesses in total, and the sighting lasted several minutes. One witness reported it as possibly a plane with engine trouble. (Source: newspaper clipping dated February 9, 1950).
1953 - An orange light was seen in the sky over Korea and an F-94 fighter jet was scrambled to intercept it. The F-94 pilot saw the bright object change speeds and altitude, then pull away from him. The UFO's presence was confirmed on radar. (Sources: Richard Dolan, UFO's and the National Security State: Chronology of a Cover-up 1941-1973, p. 405; Richard F.

1963 - At 11:45 p.m. three people in two separate airplanes sighted a disc-shaped object over a missile site near Charlottesville, Virginia. It shot off at a speed in excess of 2000 knots.

1969 - Shortly after 7:00 a.m. in Pirassununga, Sao Paulo state, Brazil the shouts of people exclaiming about a mysterious bluish-white object that had landed on a hillside awakened Tiago Machado, age 19. He grabbed his binoculars and went to look at it, approaching to within 30 feet. It was a domed disc, aluminum colored, about 12 feet in diameter and five feet high. A hinged door was open on the top of the dome and from it two humanoid figures emerged and floated to the ground. Two more beings were visible through windows inside the craft. The beings were 4.5 feet tall and dressed in tight-fitting silvery coveralls without buttons. Their facial features were visible through transparent helmets. Their skin was yellow, their eyes slanting, and their mouths were thin and slit-like. They came to within 3-4 meters of Tiago. When they laughed at him while he puffed a cigarette, he could see that they had black teeth. He tossed the cigarette pack close to one, who put his hand over it and the pack floated up into his hand. The thumb of his hand was set further back than it would be on a human's hand. The beings spoke in “hoarse, guttural” sounds. When a friend shouted out to Tiago the entities walked backward and re-entered the craft through the door. The second one pointed a tube at Machado when halfway through, and it emitted a bluish flame that “floated” at him. When it hit him he felt pain and was paralyzed. The UFO took off in a horizontal direction just as the witness fainted. A red welt remained where the flame had struck him. On the ground were found three landing-leg marks.

1970 - In New Martinsville, West Virginia an oval-shaped silver disc with lights around the rim turned, hovered silently over a house, then vanished as USAF jets drew near. The lights on the object rotated counterclockwise. Their were six witnesses from the Moore family. (Source: Bob Teets, West Virginia UFOs: Close Encounters in the Mountain State, p. 90).
1976 - A man and a woman reported they had five hours of missing time that occurred near a wharf on Talbot Island, in Duval County, Florida at 10 p.m. Under hypnosis they revealed an abduction experience, including a table exam onboard a craft, with a screen image of the inside of the woman's body. There were seven different humanoid types, a body implant, and communication to the woman that she was "coming along real well." (Source: CUFOS files, letter from investigator Evelyn Brunson dated March 14, 1977; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A1456, citing Evelyn Brunson).
1977 - At 12:30 p.m. school students from a school in Newcastle-under-Lyme, England saw a gray flattened cigar-shaped object moving slowly through the sky, surrounded by a vapor or mist. It changed color to orange, then to green, and flew off toward the east-southeast. The sighting lasted 10 minutes. (Sources: Northern Network files, case report dated March 1, 1977; Awareness, July 1977, p. 20).
1978 - The International UFO Reporter reported that a 23-year old police officer named Linnevold was fired from his job for chasing a UFO during a sighting that occurred on this night shortly after 1:00 a.m. in Calmar, Iowa. (Source: International UFO Reporter, July 1978, p. 7).
1984 - The witness awoke to a loud humming at four o'clock in the morning in Atco, New Jersey and a bright light illuminated the bedroom. Outside a bright white 10-foot wide circular UFO w hump in the middle--a domed disc--was hovering over a neighbor' s yard, 200 feet away. It ascended in a zigzag at a high rate of speed. A lawn ornament figure was reported missing. (Source: Robert Gribble, International UFO Reporter, March-April 1984, p. 7).
1989 - At 10:30 p.m. several witnesses were driving together along an isolated section of Route 4 in Sassovivo, Italy when they started to see intermittent circular flashes of light ahead of them. As they got closer they saw five circular objects on the ground alongside the road. The vehicle's engine stalled as five humanoids, about 90 cm tall, emerged from the crafts and surrounded the vehicle. The humanoids wore white, astronaut like suits, and had black hair and large staring eyes. They moved rapidly around the vehicle, completely ignoring the witnesses. For some time their vehicle was prevented from moving. After awhile the humanoids went back into their circular objects and then these craft disappeared from sight. The source indicated that the driver died soon after the encounter, but provided no information as to the cause of death. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1989, citing CUN).
