When it comes to the paranormal, people always say they want
proof. Well, on Friday, November 2nd, 1971, evidence of what many
believe to be "proof" of an Unidentified Flying Object touching
down on the Johnson family farm in Delphos, Kansas appeared on
the ground and would remain for a very long time. A crusty "ring"
in the dirt and damage to the adjacent flora was left behind
after the Johnsons described seeing a strange, brightly lit and
noisy hovering craft of some kind leaving their property and
disappearing into the night sky. This ring and the broken
branches apparently in the path of this object would exhibit
forensic properties that were not entirely explainable. The
incident is still considered one of the best instances of a Close
Encounter of the 2nd Kind: "A UFO event in which a physical
effect is alleged." Whatever it was that left whatever it left,
we can be certain of this — Ron Johnson will always remember this
2nd of November.

Tonight's Quote:

“Ronald Johnson doesn’t know what it was, but it rumbled,
whistled like a jet or the high whine of tires on the freeway and
shot into the sky and left a glowing ring behind on the
ground.”

— Page 2 of the Salina Journal, Friday, the 5th of November,
1971
