2013: October UFO & Alien Sightings Archive
October 2013 proved to be a month of extraordinary high-strangeness, featuring a diverse range of unexplained phenomena across the globe. This archive documents a significant wave of reports, from a “floating cigarette” cylinder and Bigfoot-type creatures in Chula Vista, California, to the mysterious “dark slender beings” witnessed moving at unbelievable speeds in North Carolina.
In a historic move during this same period, the Peruvian Air Force officially reopened its UFO investigation office in response to a massive spike in anomalous aerial sightings. From prehistoric flying creatures in Louisiana to silent, disk-shaped objects captured on video in New York, this collection brings together firsthand testimony and MUFON data to provide a comprehensive look at the global activity that defined October 2013.

Summary: A 23-year old woman and her boyfriend were relaxing in her car just hanging out and at the moment they got out of the car they described seeing a white cylinder floating just above them. She describes it as being like a floating cigarette. It hovered away behind some hills and they lost sight of it. The second encounter was at night when the boyfriend and his younger brother
(who were also neighbors) heard some strange screams outside their house. There is nothing but hills and mountains behind those houses. They went out with a pellet gun and a flashlight to check out what the noises were when they suddenly encountered what they described as two huge Bigfoot type creatures standing in front of them but at a near distance. Apparently they shot at the creatures with the pellet gun but the creatures didn’t even flinch. So they became frightened and ran back to the house. Both incidents occurred on the same date.

Summary: A husband and wife had noticed at least 3 flying objects that made no sound and resembled large stars however flew in odd circular patterns and seemed to hover. This had been going on for two weeks. They saw two crafts, one which much larger than the other. The smaller object descended behind some nearby trees flashing bright red lights, this frightened the witnesses. Soon after that they noticed “dark slender beings” that moved at unbelievable speeds and if
“they had not blinked they would not have seen them again.” The husband saw the beings as he stood outside smoking a cigarette. He saw the creatures running swiftly across a field. He reports that neighborhood animals, including dogs, horses, chickens, etc. appeared to be extremely frightened causing a great ruckus at night.

Summary: A lady was outside her home when she heard a strange sound, a loud crow-like call, but when she looked overhead, she was shocked to see something very unlike a crow. The creature was about the size of a normal bird but it was far from normal. It had no feathers but did have small teeth in its beak. She also saw a long neck and something like long hair or something suggesting that. The flying creature “looked prehistoric”. The lady started wondering if she was hallucinating, but took no chances as she quickly left the area, afraid the creature might bite her.

Location: Owego A New York
Time: about 1 p.m.
Summary: The sighting occurred about 1 p.m. on October 12, 2013, when the witness observed what appeared to be a disk-shaped object flying from the northeast and moving over Owego. “The object emitted no sound,” the witness stated. “There was no trail after it. There were no visible wings of any kind.” The witness uploaded a 22-second video taken on a camera phone with the report, which was filed with MUFON on October 12, 2013. “The disc moved from southwest to the northeast over the western horizon. Shortly after another object the same size and shape, no wings, no trail, no sound was observed flying from east (Binghamton, NY) to the northwest, however, higher in the sky than the first object. Having observed thousands of flights going over this area in the last 30 years, I have never seen anything like this before.”

Summary: A young man taking an early morning stroll in a local park took several photos of the scenery and in one photo a strange figure which he hadn’t seen when the photograph was original taken is plainly visible. It appears to be an extremely tall humanoid entity. The humanoid figure seemed very large, and luminescent, the humanoid seemed asexual. It was wearing a sort caped ‘garment’. This garment also seems to have a second form, more ethereal (a glow?) especially around the legs section.

Summary: The witness saw a gray-type alien outside of his bedroom window. The humanoid was staring at him and for some reason the witness got the impression that it wanted to make sure he seen it and knew what it was. The humanoid then turned and took a lobbing step (kind of an up and down hop). The witness has the impression that he has seen this ‘alien’ before. According to the witness he and his wife have had several other experiences throughout their lives.

Summary: Residents of Vicuña and Valle del Elqui say that the object fell on a hill after zig-zagging for a
few minutes. Several residents of Vicuña and vicinity have reported the collision of a hitherto unidentified flying object in a hill near Vicuña, in the interior of Valle del Elqui. According to eyewitnesses, who took the photograph attached to this story, the event occurred around 16:00 hours on Sunday when an object—flying at considerable altitude—zig-zagged for a few minutes before plummeting into a hill in the sector known as La Compañia. A worker at a Vicuña hostel (who requested confidentiality) stated that “the object made several turns in the sky until it began to lose altitude and fall on top of a hill. People began climbing the hill just to see it, but it’s rather far away. It’s almost the size of a railcar.”
The photograph shows an object that shines in the sunlight, suggesting that it could be a metallic object or some sort of weather balloon. It should be noted that this is not the first time that Valle de Elqui has reported UFO sightings. The most spectacular case was the alleged crash of a UFO in Paihuano, which has been studied by a number of Ufologists, although there is no record of the object in question.

Location: Santa Cruz, California
Time: around 9pm
Summary: I went out after dinner for a smoke. The approach for San Jose Airport runs pretty much right over my roof and there is always a line of planes coming in. I looked to my left and saw what I thought was a plane very low and heading directly towards my location. My next thought was this didn’t make sense .I’d never seen a plane approach from that direction. After a few moments I realized it wasn’t moving at all. It was hovering in one spot, possibly with a slight swaying motion. It appeared as a bright white light edged with a multi- colored aura for lack of a better word. I watched it ,puzzled, for about 15 minutes, looked at it with binoculars and tried to find landmarks to see if it was moving. Then, a friend happened to stop by. I showed him what I saw and his first comment was ” that things not moving. What the hell is that” We watched it for another ten minutes or so, then went inside thirty minutes later, we went out to have a smoke and check on the mystery light and it was gone. I even went to the other side of the building to see if, by some chance it was a bright Venus or something, whether it had moved with the rotation but there was nothing . No trace anywhere around of an! orbiting object. Just another head scratchier. know I am not a crackpot, delusional, hallucinating, or seeking attention. I am also unaware of any aircraft that can hover, with no movement or sound , and certainly not one that makes ninety degree turns an disappears so I believe it can be only one thing.
