Encounters with Aliens on this Day
February 11
1937 - Several fisherman off the coast of Kvalsik, Norway watched what looked like a large plane descend toward the sea around 9:00 p.m. It extinguished its lights and produced a cloud or fog cover, then vanished. (Source: John A. Keel, FSR, September-October 1971, p. 22).
1952 - A bright, yellowish orange object with a pulsating flame
exhaust was spotted at a high altitude by the crew of a US Air Force AT-11
trainer flying near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at three o'clock in
the morning. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics,
case #1052; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 15;

1955 - At 7:15 p.m. a US Air Force C-124 crew flying over Ryuku Island, near Okinawa, Japan sighted a yellow or amber object, shaped like a "Jack-O-Lantern", flying at 1,000 miles per hour. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 25).
1956 - In Bastrop, Louisiana at 4:00 p.m. at least five silver disc-shaped objects emitted a "smoke screen," darted rapidly, then ejected smaller satellite objects that dispersed in all directions." The duration of the sighting was 45 minutes. (Source: Civilian Saucer Intelligence--New York Newsletter, May 1956, citing a newspaper account).
1957 - At 11:45 a.m. in Honolulu, Hawaii a luminous disc-shaped object entered some clouds, then rose above them accompanied by a second, smaller object. Both objects maneuvered about for a couple of minutes. (Source: Loren E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1957: January-March 22, p. 40).
1965 - On this day three very large red oval objects were visible
out of the cabin window of a Flying Tiger Airlines cargo plane flying
over the North Pacific between Anchorage, Alaska and Tachikawa
AFB, Japan. The UFOs paced the aircraft for 30 minutes. They were
estimated to be from 200 feet to 1000 feet in diameter, at a distance
of five miles. They were tracked on radar making a high speed vertical
ascent. (Sources: Gordon I. R. Lore, Jr., UFOs: A New Look, p.

Security State: Chronology of a Cover-up 1941-1973, p. 412).
1966 - Two witnesses named Barnes and La Porte reported that at 11:55 p.m. a glowing orange object with a dome hovered near the Skowhegan, Maine airfield. It maneuvered in the sky for four minutes, and was seen by police as well as civilians. It was also tracked on both Air Force and FAA radar.

1967 - At 1:45 a.m. Miss Hildebrand, age 19, and Michael McKee fled when they saw a large shiny object off to the side of the road in Milford, Ohio. Returning a short while later to the scene with a policeman they found broken branches at the site. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 817).
1968 - An oval, domed object passed low over a car at the edge
of a pond in Johnston, Rhode Island at 7:00 p.m. It had pulsating
white and pinkish-red lights around the rim, making it look like a
flashing theater marquee. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs:
Interplanetary Visitors, p. 351).
Johnston, Rhode Island - 1968
1972 - On this evening two 13-year old boys named Akkan and Green
in Loughborough, Leicester, England noticed a square object in
the sky with a central red light and four white corner lights, as their
train pulled out of the railway station. It hovered over a nearby field,
and directed powerful light beams down onto the field. (Source: Mrs. K.
Smith, BUFORA Journal, July 1972, p. 30)
1972 - At 10:40 p.m. on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, a 24-year-old credit manager was driving near the shore in Apollo Beach, Florida when a 16 meter wide disc flew 30 meters ahead of his car at just 120 meters altitude. It had two rectangular windows and a rotating rim, and flew off toward the west. (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator, April 1972, p. 4).
1980 - At around 4 p.m. a woman in Bisuschio, Italy went outside to hang some linen to dry and was looking towards a nearby hill when she saw a strange dwarf creature in a tree about 50 meters away. He was about 30-40 cm tall, and was wearing black clothing. She went back inside and looked at the creature again out a window, at the same time calling her son to come see. She also called her mother in-law on the telephone. The boy observed the tree with a pair of binoculars but was unable to distinguish any additional features. The being appeared to move from branch to branch, and then seemed to stand on a very thin branch that appeared incapable of supporting his weight. The humanoid looked to be trying to conceal his face with his hand. He soon disappeared from sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1980, citing Denys Breysse, Project Becassine).
1980 - In Botafuegos, Spain later that same night five witnesses, including Rafael Tobajas, spotted a low flying whitish-orange luminous object lifting off from some nearby woods. Minutes later the object divided into three separate luminous sections, then re-united again into one luminous spot. Using a pair of binoculars, they watched the lighted object descend in a falling leaf motion. Near the ground two huge man-like silhouettes appeared in front of the lights. They were grayish in color and over three meters in height. They made huge leaps and strides over the ground, jumping easily over obstacles, but they seemed to move in slow motion and stayed in front of the luminous orbs of lights. According to Tobajas, the humanoid forms stopped briefly by a small creek and seemed to bend down several times. The humanoids suddenly began running at witnesses, who became terrified and drove away frantically from the area. The tall gray humanoid forms persisted in chasing the witness's vehicle for several minutes. Tobajas reportedly encountered similar humanoid figures at night, one year later. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1980, citing Dr. Jimenez del Oso and J. J. Benitez).
1980 - At 10:00 p.m. Carlos Vommaro, age 22, was driving home from dinner at his girlfriend's house westbound on Route 22 between the towns of Ingeniero Huergo and Cervantes in Rio Negro province, Argentina when he noticed a strong glowly light over a field 200 meters away, on the left side of his truck and at about 30 meters altitude. He described the object as having two big "L" structures with a luminous rectangular form inside. The edges of the luminous "L's" seemed to be covered in a diffused vapor that seemed to reflect the light. Perplexed, Vommaro watched the object as it came parallel to him. Vommaro then decided to escape, speeding up to about 60 mph when suddenly everything around him became dark and he blacked out.
When Vommaro woke up he found himself leaning over the steering wheel. The light was now on top of the vehicle, and suddenly from the area of the luminous rectangular area a beam of light shot out, which seemed to spread out in width the further away it got. The beam of light covered the vehicle, but not its interior; it seems to be stronger at the point of origin. Terrified, Vommaro jumped out of his vehicle, running for help but the road is completely deserted. A couple of minutes later he saw a car approaching from the direction of General Roca, and he frantically tried to flag down the car. The car slowed down briefly, but then sped away. Perhaps the approaching driver had seen the luminous object still hovering above the road. After coming to his senses Vommaro now realized he was outside of the town of Cervantes, located more than 15 km away from were he had been, and he has about an hour of missing time he can't account for. When he got home his dogs reacted strangely, did not seem to recognize him, and attempted to attack him. The next day he suffered from lack of appetite, weakness, lumbar back pain, and leg pain. There was also some damage to his car. There were numerous other UFO reports that evening from Argentina and Chile.

Imbrogno, Contact of the 5th Kind, p. 20; Alejandro Chionetti, UFO Press, issue # 12, April 1983).
1980 - A woman driving on Highway G66 in Council Bluffs, Iowa encountered an orange UFO at 11:40 p.m. Her car lights and engine experienced electrical difficulties and she underwent a 32 minutes lapse of time. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, April 1980, p. 5; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 258).
1988 - Beginning at 6:09 p.m. the pilot and crew of a Boeing 737 airliner witnessed a hovering object with intense lights like searchlights arranged in a triangle. The object seemed to be a huge box-shaped craft with three lights, which hovered for more than an hour, and then climbed vertically out of sight. The object was tracked on radar.

Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, pp. 30, 126).
1989 - Two men were recording music in their apartment in Levittown, New York at around 9:00 p.m. when they began to hear strange noises coming from outside. Going to a window, they saw two US government helicopters hovering overhead. They then saw two more flying in tandem, and between them was a huge, shiny metallic object with multicolored lights. Both witnesses ran outside, jumped into their car, and began following the UFO and the mystery helicopters. Once on the expressway the helicopters left and the giant object turned into a ball of fire before their eyes. Both witnesses then suffered a blackout. When they recovered they realized they were now driving towards the entrance of a bridge. Later, one man recalled being in a room with several short humanoids with large black eyes. He also claimed seeing numerous symbols resembling hieroglyphics. (Sources: UFO Newsclipping Service, issue #258; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1989, case # 945).
1989 - A woman at home on a foggy evening in San Antonio, Texas
was attracted by a humming sound she heard outside at 11:15 p.m. She then
saw a hovering orange, oval-shaped disc that emitted a strong blue beam
of light. The beam of light extinguished the closest street light. The
next odd thing that happened is that a firetruck appeared driving down
her street. (Sources: Robert E. Morgan, MUFON field investigation case
files, case #890402; MUFON UFO Journal, February 1990, p. 15).
1995 - At around 4:00 a.m. four companions who had gone on a fishing expedition had stopped on the roadside near San Antonia Oeste, Argentina after becoming too sleepy to continue driving. They woke up with sketchy memories of being visited by several short, hairless beings who wore luminous white suits and had apparently taken them away for physical examinations. The primary witness felt pain in her left arm. They also realized that their vehicle was parked at a different spot than it had been parked, that was miles away from the original site. Under hypnosis one of the younger witnesses remembered the little men had been accompanied by a tall, heavyset being, with large eyes, a baldhead, long arms, wearing a gray outfit. The tall being was the one apparently in charge, and directed the activities of the little men. Another member of the group remembered being floated out of the vehicle into a dark place. The primary witness also remembered several tall female beings performing some type of operation on her left arm. Locals reported seeing luminous objects in the sky around the same time. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1995, case # 3206, citing CIFO Argentina).
2003 - A failed alien abduction attempt was alleged in a report
filed with the National UFO Reporting Center: "I was almost abducted,
along with my friends, I think we all feared for our life." The experience
reportedly occurred at 12:13 a.m. in Merrillville, Indiana. (Source:
