Encounters with Aliens on this Day
January 30
1958 - At 11:45 p.m. a lawyer, his wife, and their nephew
felt an electric shock at a point 220 miles north of Arequipa, Peru
heading towards Lima. Several seconds later the headlights and engine
of their car failed. An inverted mushroom-shaped object was then observed,
about 15 feet in diameter, descending from the sky. It hovered for about
eight minutes at a 150-foot altitude, glowing red. A truck and a bus were
also affected by the presence of the UFO. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO

1970 - Two policemen in Mrewa, Zimbabwe saw three oval metallic objects hovering near their cruiser at 9:30 p.m. The headlights went out during the sighting, which ended when the objects moved away at high speed.
