On St. Patrick's Day 1950, thousands of Farmington, New Mexico residents witnessed a massive "armada" of hundreds of craft performing complex maneuvers over the town.
1950: March 11th – 20th UFO & Alien Sightings
The middle of March 1950 represents a pivotal moment in the early history of modern Ufology, characterized by a massive global “flap” of activity. From the high-altitude sightings at Holloman AFB to the terrifying “humanoid” encounters in Italy and Argentina, the period between March 11th and 20th saw a transition from mere lights in the sky to physical, close-up interactions. This log details the extraordinary events of those ten days, documenting sightings that ranged from singular discs over Mexico City to the thousands of objects that famously appeared over Farmington, New Mexico.

Summary: Having stopped to make repairs on his car, Craig Hunter heard a whistling sound and saw a flying saucer, about 300 ft up, which circled about him at 60-70 mph, then hovered. He could see moving “images of human character” through windows in the UFO. A bluish-green object was shot at him, exploding 20 ft away with a brilliant white light that lingered for more than 30 seconds. The then object flew off to the northwest. Hunter describes the UFO in considerable detail; the windows were in the lower section. A truck driver, Ellis Yeager, who stopped to offer help, said “Oh my God” and drove away when Hunter pointed out the saucer.

Ruppelt: “Just before noon on March 16, Chief Petty Officer Charles Lewis saw a disk-shaped UFO come streaking across the sky and buzz a high flying B-36. Lewis first saw the UFO coming in from the north, lower than the B-36; then he saw it pull up to the big bomber as it got closer. It hovered under the B-36 for an instant, then it went speeding off and disappeared. When the press inquired about the incident, Captain M. A. Nation, commander of the air station, vouched for his chief and added that the base tower operators had seen and reported a UFO to him about ten days before.”

Summary: This story didn’t run long because the next day a bigger one broke when the sky over the little town of Farmington, New Mexico, about 170 miles northwest of Albuquerque, was literally invaded by UFOs. Every major newspaper carried the story. The UFO’s had apparently been congregating over the four corners area for two days because several people had reported seeing UFOs on March 15 and 16. But the seventeenth was the big day, every saucer this side of Polaris must have made a successful rendezvous over Farmington because on that day most of the town’s 3,600 citizens saw the mass fly-by.
The first reports were made at 10:15 A.M.; then for an hour, the air was full of flying saucers. Estimates of the number varied from a conservative 500 to “thousands.” Most all the observers said the UFO’s were saucer-shaped, traveled at almost unbelievable speeds, and didn’t seem to have any set flight path. They would dart in and out and seemed to avoid collisions only by inches. There was no doubt that they weren’t hallucinations because the mayor, the local newspaper staff, ex- pilots, the highway patrol, and every type of person who makes up a community of 3,600 saw them. I’ve talked to several people who were in Farmington and saw this now-famous UFO display of St. Patrick’s Day, 1950.
I’ve heard dozens of explanations–cotton blowing in the wind, bugs’ wings reflecting sunlight, a hoax to put Farmington on the map, and real honest-to-goodness flying saucers. One explanation was never publicized, however, and if there is an explanation, it is the best. Under certain conditions of extreme cold, probably 50 to 60 degrees below zero, the plastic bag of a skyhook balloon will get very brittle and will take on the characteristics of a huge light bulb. If a sudden gust of wind or some other disturbance hits the balloon, it will shatter into a thousand pieces. As these pieces of plastic float down and are carried along by the wind, they could look like thousands of flying saucers. On St. Patrick’s Day a skyhook balloon launched from Holloman AFB, adjacent to the White Sands Proving Ground, did burst near Farmington, and it was cold enough at 60,000 feet to make the balloon brittle. True, the people at Farmington never found any pieces of plastic, but the small pieces of plastic are literally as light as feathers and could have floated far beyond the city.

He got to within 150 yards of the landed UFO, which was giving off a greenish-blue vapor and “an intense smell of burning benzene.” Above the saucer, a large flat disc was rotating, “like a phonograph record.” In the center was a transparent cabin; he could see 4 tall men with pallid faces, dressed in “cellophane,” working at instruments. Then the craft shone a searchlight on him, it lit up with blue light, and it rose up, emitting red & green flames and a faint hum. Both craft sped off, leaving bluish trails. Next day burnt grass was found at the site. Several other witnesses to the UFO in flight.

Between March 11th and 20th, 1950, a massive global wave of unidentified aerial phenomena was recorded, headlined by the famous “Farmington Armada” in New Mexico, where hundreds of disc-shaped objects were observed by nearly an entire town. This high-activity period included military radar trackings at Holloman AFB, close encounters with “dwarven” entities in Italy, and a remarkable landing report in Argentina involving tall figures in “cellophane” suits. From silver spheres over Mexico City to silent discs making “impossible climbs” in Georgia, these accounts from the 1950: March 11th – 20th UFO & Alien Sightings log provide a detailed look at one of the most significant periods of high strangeness in the early 20th century.
