Encounters with Aliens on this Day
February 15
1950 - In a newspaper story published in December 1967, a man from Salzburg, Austria claimed that he was abducted by a five-foot tall Grey humanoid UFOnaut who wore a silver uniform with fishbowl style helmets. The incident reportedly occurred in a forest five miles north of Salzburg at around 11:00 p.m. at night. He was paralyzed and floated up to the top of a round craft that had landed in a nearby field. The UFO had a dark interior, and the experience involved an off-Earth journey. The encounter lasted about an hour. (Source: Charles Bowen, Flying Saucer Review, July-August 1967, p. 11).
1956 - At 12:40 p.m. a brown cigar-shaped object was seen flying on a straight and level course over Riverside, California by a US Navy enlisted man named Taylor. The sighting lasted eight minutes. (Source: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 027).
1956 - While a large luminous disc hovered over Keansburg, New Jersey in Monmouth County at 9:30 p.m. two small satellite objects were ejected from it and flew away.

Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1956: January-April, p. 32).
1963 - A metallic domed disc with a transparent dome and aerial and a concave bottom hovered 30 meters above the ground at a farm in Moe, Victoria, Australia. It was about eight meters in diameter, and gave off a bluish glow as it emitted a swishing noise. Horses and cattle on the farm panicked and fled. It climbed into the sky at a 45 degree angle going off toward the west and into the clouds.

the mirrored ball in a ballroom or disco, zoomed by a residence in Birmingham,
England at 6:30 a.m. making a buzzing noise. (Source: Larry Hatch,

1979 - At 10:00 p.m. a 15 meter in diameter luminous domed disc was seen over the Metauro River in Fano, Italy during a rainstorm. It shot out "black rays" or beams. (Source: Maurizio Verga, ITACAT: Italian UFO Catalogue).

1992 - A dome-shaped UFO with white windows or lights rotating
around the base hovered over Risley Nature Reserve in Warrington, England
at 7:15 a.m. It was seen from the M62 highway, and it disappeared into
a large cloud. (Source: Timothy Good, Alien Update, p. 250, citing
the Northern UFO Network).
1999 - For a total of three minutes a single witness in Lucky Point, Knox County, Indiana saw a bright light in the northwest. A silvery, shimmering disc-shaped object the size of a Boeing 707 then came into view, moving silently. The UFO tipped on its side, and then traveled up-and-down in all directions. It next moved in a figure-8 pattern and flew off towards the northwest. A photograph was taken. The next day the witness was approached by three men in dark suits who demanded the print and the negative. The three men identified themselves as employees of Indianapolis Power and Light and asserted that it was illegal to take photos of the power lines. I.P. & L. was contacted and denied that it sent representatives to interview the witness. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1999, citing Kerry Teverbaugh, Indiana MUFON).
2004 - At 11:00 a.m. a white disc-shaped object flew over the middle of the Kent Valley in Auburn, Washington. It slowed down and started hovering. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, March 2004 webpage archive).
