Encounters with Aliens on this Day April 1
1897 – The whole town of Everest, Kansas
saw an object fly in under the cloud cover. It came down slowly, then flew
away very fast to the southeast. When directly over the town it swept the
ground with a powerful searchlight. It was seen to rise up at a fantastic
speed until barely discernible, then to come down again and sweep low over
the witnesses. At one point it remained stationary for five minutes at the
edge of a low cloud, which it illuminated. All said they could clearly see
the silhouette of the craft. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to

1948 – At 9:55 a.m. a ten meter wide silver half disc
maneuvered in the sky over Manila in the Philippines
and made a number of ninety-degree turns. Lt. Meyers of the U.S. Air
Force was leading a flight of four F-47S Thunderbolt fighters of the
67th Fighter Squadron and was flying south at 1,500 ft altitude when he
saw a half-moon shaped “flying wing” or crescent about 30 feet wide and
20 feet long, with a small dorsal fin. It was flying on a northerly
heading at about 1,000 feet three miles to his east. It made a 90 left
turn and leveled out on a westerly heading accelerating rapidly to
vanish in five seconds. There was no trail. Estimated terminal velocity
was about 11 miles per second or 39,000 mph. Radio interference was
reported at the time. (Sources: U.S. Air Force Project Bluebook files

1959 – Horst Raps returned to the
previously appointed site in Lampertheim, Germany where
he had encountered a UFOnaut on March 29th and found the hovering
blue-violet disc-shaped craft and the tall humanoid waiting for him. This

otherworldly ride to another planet in the Alpha Centauri system. There he
encountered various races of people, who allegedly lived in dwellings
shaped like cupolas and cultivated multicolored flowers. (Source: Albert
S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1959, case # 2440, citing Ulrich

scorched area 10 meters wide. The local sheriff considered the report a
practical joke. (Source: Petaluma Argus Courier, April 1, 1966;

mother of Liberty, Missouri saw two luminous objects land on a hill
nearby their house. They watched them them through binoculars, and
described them as egg-shaped and about the size of a large car. They then
saw the shadows of one or two human-looking figures, and heard the beings
shouting at each other loudly in a foreign, unintelligible language. After
this they heard the sound of a pig squealing. Next, a point of green light
issued from one of the objects, and they both took off and flew away
rapidly. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of

a.m. Randy Davies, who was still awake, saw a man with a light walk past
the ranch house, so he ran outside calling to him. The light went out and
the man ran away. At 3:30 a.m. Louise Davies looked out the window and saw
a man in the yard, who wore dark clothes and a mask that covered his face
down to his shoulders. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher,

above their heads. The object was 15 meters in length and was reddish in
color. The craft then shone a beam of white light towards the ground and a
short figure materialized within the light on the ground. The witnesses
watched from about 600 meters away as this short being went back and forth
within the lighted area, then floated back up into the object and
disappeared. The craft then became brighter and rose up quickly,
disappearing from sight in the darkness. (Source: Albert S. Rosales,
