Encounters with Aliens on this Day
January 23
1965, Williamsburg, Virginia - A man's car stalled at 8:40 a.m. and he saw an object hovering four feet off the ground about 500 feet away. It was mushroom-shaped, about 75-80 feet high. There was a red-orange glow coming from the near side, and a bluish glow from the far side. Soon the object rose slightly and then moved horizontally towards the west, making a noise like a vacuum cleaner. The sighting duration was 25 seconds.

1966 - Two witnesses who wished to remain anonymous reported to NICAP that they were changing a tire near Essex, California at 11:45 p.m. when they saw a disc-shaped object land 200 yards away from them. Upon closer investigation they found the object to be 75-100 feet in diameter and 25 feet in height. A door slid open and a seven-foot tall being appeared. He called to them by name, and conversed with them via telepathy. He said his race was from another star and that 400 American citizens are actually from his race. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1966-05).
1974 - The entire village of Llandrillo, Wales heard a loud explosion that was preceded by violent shaking of the ground. Running outside, many people saw blue and orange lights floating in a circle around Cader Mountain east of the village. Police and RAF personnel were in the area quickly and cordoned off access to a supposed crash site on the barren hilltop. A nurse, telephoned by the police, was on her way up the mountain to the crash site with her daughters when she saw something sitting on the ground ahead of her. It seemed to be intact and was very large, circular and glowed orange. She and her daughters got to within a few hundred feet of teh object when the police and military showed up and told her to leave. According to UFO researcher Tony Dodd, a retired military man using the name of "Robert Prescott" told him that he and some others had been assigned to transport two crates from the crash site to the top secret military weapons research facility at Porton Down near Salisbury, England. According to Prescott, military personnel opened the crates and found two humanoid bodies about 5 to 6 feet tall, and so very thin they were almost skeletal in nature. Other units allegedly transported live aliens from the "crash" site. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1974, case # 3925, citing CSETI; Nicholas Redfern, Cosmic Crashes).
