1961 [TUE]  Alleged UFO Sighting (USA)

1962 [WED]  Bright Light (Mesquite Range, Nevada USA)




APR-18-1961   [TUE]


LOCATION:
USA


WHAT HAPPENED:
      Joe Simonton discovered a 30-foot by 12-foot high saucer-like craft hovering above the ground on his farm today in 1961.
      Three humanoids, that looked like Italians, invited him into the craft. He was given three flat, pancake-like food samples. He tasted one. It tasted like cardboard
      Simonton's story is an example of metalogic. Metalogic is a seemingly bizarre situation that can only be explained using bizarre information.

      This event is alleged because science doesn't yet acknowledge that UFOs are from other planets because there is no hard evidence to support it... at least not yet anyway.

WHAT HAPPENED:
      On this night in 1962, a flash of light went off that was so bright that even in Reno, seventy miles away, it seemed like a giant flashbulb had gone off.
