Encounters with Aliens on this Day
November 3
1954 - Oued Beth, Morocco. Maroc Presse reported that one of its employees, Mr. E., the driver of a delivery truck and "a man of sane judgment and excellent eyesight," observed an object flying over the Beth River. "I am positive it was not an aircraft or any known machine but a circular, flat craft which had the appearance of copper. It flew normally for some time, and then it suddenly flipped over. Therefore, I was able to see the whole disc and was amazed when it came down into a field where it landed on edge, very gently. Almost immediately it rose into the sky at great speed, resumed its horizontal position and was soon lost to sight."

1954 - At 6:00 a.m. a reportedly reliable witness encountered a thick fog in Palavas, Herault, France. Inside was a hovering blue, disc-shaped UFO. It stayed stationary a short while, and then shot straight up at an extremely fast speed. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 4122, citing Jean Sider, Dossier 1954 et l'Imposture Rationaliste, p. 223).
1954 - Two dwarf humanoids wearing metallic suits with helmets were seen in a thick fog at 6:30 a.m. at a farm in Mareil-sur-Loir, France. They glided over ground. There is the possibility that the two witnesses experienced an episode of missing time. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 4123, citing Jean Sider, Dossier 1954 et l'Imposture Rationaliste, p. 224).
1957 - At 3:00 a.m. at the Stallion Missile Test Site on the White Sands, New Mexico proving grounds an Army patrol in a jeep saw an orange, "apparently controlled," luminous object on the ground near the site of the first A-bomb explosion. It was first seen as a sun-like source 50 meters above ground, and it then descended to ground level after 3 minutes, landing several kilometers away at the northern end of the testing grounds. Two U.S. Army witnesses. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 420).
1967 - Carlos Spini and another man in San Jeronimo, Argentina saw a luminous, blue, circular object land nearby as they were examining some cows in a pasture. It took off when they approached it.
