1969

January

 * 30 - The Beatles performed an impromptu concert on the roof of the Apple Records building on Abbey Road in London. Ace prevented the killing of John Lennon during this concert.

April

 * 8 - The Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond, Rory Williams, River Song and Canton Delaware were hired by President Richard Nixon to investigate a young girl who kept phoning him. The Doctor traced her to a building in Florida. River and Rory discovered a passageway of ancient caves, populated with aliens whom they would forget about once they looked away. Amy shot the astronaut, thinking it the one who would kill a future version of the Doctor in 2011 (DW: The Impossible Astronaut), though she survived. The suit served as a life support. The group eventually went on the run for several months, uncertain of how to fight these aliens. (DW: Day of the Moon)

(DW: Blink)

July

 * Before 20 July - After spending months on the run, the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Roy feigned capture, while River leapt out of a building to be caught by the TARDIS, continuing their plot to take down the alien whom they would forget about when they turned away. Canton captured one of these creature, who claimed to be of the Silence. The Doctor interrogated it. The Doctor and River discovered the girl who had contacted Nixon had escaped from the astronaut suit. (DW: Day of the Moon)
 * 20 - Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon. (MA: Who Killed Kennedy) Martha Jones later claimed she and the Tenth Doctor had seen the event four times.

(DW: Day of the Moon)
