Mr. Paul Simonton, a chicken farmer in Eagle River, saw a disc-shaped craft land vertically on his farm. A hatch opened, and when he approached he saw three human-looking men inside. They asked him for some water. They appeared to be cooking pancakes on a griddle, and in exchange for the water they gave him four of the pancakes from the griddle. The episode survived a rigorous assessment by the U.S. Air Force and is carried in their files as "unexplained.”
