Encounters with Aliens on this Day
January 11
1966 - Six people were driving to a scout hall in Myerstown, Pennsylvania
at 7:40 p.m. when the headlights of their car repeatedly dimmed out and
came back on. The radio also had heavy static. They proceeded to the scout
hall without further incident. On the return trip, they saw a disc-shaped
metallic UFO approach the car, swerve to the right, and parallel the car
for several minutes. The object hovered for five minutes over an open
field while they watched, then left instantaneously towards the northwest.
There was no electrical interference when the UFO was actually in view.

1967 - Mrs Park McDaniel was outside her home during the day in Point Pleasant, West Virginia when she saw what she first took to be a small plane approaching. As it drew closer she saw that it was man-shaped and had wings. The creature swooped low over her house and circled above a nearby building before going out of sight. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-5, citing John A. Keel; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1967, case 24).
1967 - That same night in Aveyron, Basses Pyrenees, France a man sighted a "shell" shaped object taking off from his farm. The witness then proceeded to chase a ball of light in his car. The nocturnal light stayed 150 yards ahead of him until his engine died and his lights went out, when he noticed a "saucer shaped" object descend. The saucer was slightly bigger than a Peugeot car, 9-12 feet above the ground, and came down about 60 feet away. The top of the object had two transparent cupolas in each of which he could see a helmeted figure, human like and dressed in green and white coveralls. He felt a wave of heat and a temporary sensation of paralysis. He watched a nearby road sign vibrating near the oval object. With a whistling sound the UFO rose to 50 meters altitude then dropped back again to near ground level. Becoming brilliantly yellow-white, it finally took off at tremendous speed. As it did so his lights came back on and he was able to start the car normally. Several days later the witness experienced trouble sleeping, followed by some weeks of excessive sleepiness. The area had been the site of repeated UFO incidents for a year. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-6, citing G. Canouges, J.

1998 - A juvenile sighted a disc-shaped UFO hovering over his
house in Barnegat, New Jersey on this night. It had alternating
green & yellow lights around its rim. On top there was a glass dome
and a pilot-like figure apparently wearing some type of helmet could be
seen inside. Frightened, he ran inside his house but could still see the
disc hovering outside. A strange symbol was also seen on the side of the
disc. It also had an antenna on top and other markings on the bottom right
under the rim lights. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact
