Encounters with Aliens on this Day
February 12
1944 - The test launch of a Nazi rocket from Kummerdorf Airfield in Bremen, Germany with both of the top Nazi leaders Goebbels and Himmler present, occurred at 1:00 p.m. on this day. The tracking film showed an unidentified sphere that circled and followed the rocket.

1952 - The pilot and co-pilot of a MATS C-47 transport plane flying between Friendship Airfield and Baltimore, Maryland sighted a bright white UFO at 10:30 p.m. The object moved slowly at first, then accelerated away. The sighting lasted two minutes. (Sources: Project Blue Book Report #5, dated March 31, 1952; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 15).
1959 - At 6:10 p.m. a white cylindrical object, shaped like a cigarette in appearance, jerked back and forth over a cloud in Miami, Florida. It then vanished suddenly. (Source: Loren E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1959: January-March, p. 48).
1967 - The witness, a civilian named Atkinson, first heard a "chirping"noise
at between 3:30-3:40 a.m., then saw four glowing oval-shaped objects in
the sky over Grand Rapids, Michigan. Three were in a line formation
while the fourth was off to one side. The UFOs went behind some buildings.
The case is listed as a Project Blue "unknown." (Sources: Project
Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case # 11355; Condon Colorado
UFO Study, case N1030, citing NICAP; Don Berliner, Australasian Ufologist,
April 1999, p. 54).
1967 - At 6:00 p.m. a silent, white glowing object hovered just over Highway 15 in Kensington, Connecticut. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 344).
1967 - At 9:45 p.m. a domed disc with rotating colored lights
was sighted from an apartment building in Wharton, Texas. The disc
skimmed over the treetops and performed other maneuvers. The sighting
lasted 10 minutes. (Sources: NICAP case files; Condon Colorado UFO Study,
case N1022, citing NICAP; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume
II: A Thirty Year Report, pp. 9, 152).
1968 - On this night a large round object was seen close to the ground in Farm Creek, Utah in Uintah County by a woman named Christiansen. It changed color from green to red, performed a number of maneuvers, and left rapidly. (Source: Frank B. Salisbury, The Utah UFO Display, Appendix case 61).
1969 - At 5:40 a.m. in Pirassununga, Sao Paolo state, Brazil
Luis Flozinho De Oliveira, a farm worker, was on his way to work when
he was approached and attacked by two strange looking aggressive tan skinned
beings. The men were 1.5 meters (4.95 feet) tall and had beards, long
hair, and asymmetrical eyes. Both humanoids wore white unbuttoned shirts
and long beige colored pants with what appeared to be colorful inscriptions
and drawings on them. They also wore dark shiny medallions around their
necks. At first stunned, Luis fought back effectively, knocking them both
to the ground, one on top of the other. The two humanoids got up and exchanged
some words between themselves in a strange language. They then told Luis
in perfect Portuguese that they were leaving since he was much stronger
than they, and they both fled into the thick underbrush. Luis's dog “rolled
up into a ball on the ground for protection” during the attack upon its
master. The dog refused to eat anything after the encounter, and died
a month later, its body found bloated up. The dog had never been willing
to return to the place of the encounter. Sources: Walter Buhler, FSR

1969 - The crew of a fishing boat off the coast of Quinteros,
Chile watched an odd looking object enter the water at around 5:00
p.m and then vanish. Another unidentified aircraft was seen overhead at
the same time. (Sources: Roberto Enrique Banchs, citing Lumieres dans
