Case description

Totten went out to the outhouses; he came back breathlessly exclaiming: "There's a flying saucer out there!" The others laughed, and suggested that he invite the little green men in for coffee. (Mr. Wissing CLAYTON, N.M. - Clifford Moore, a ranch hand near this city, said he saw a mysterious object land in a field near his home on Wednesday night. Moore, who lives about eight miles southwest of Clayton, said the object landed in a field about a quarter of a mile from his home about 11 p.m. Moore told Locke he observed the object for about 15 minutes. Locke said Moore reported he observed a bright light on the object and that it emitted a humming sound. The object then rose straight up and disappeared, Moore told the officer. The deputy said Moore was interviewed again Thursday and was asked to take the sheriff's office to the scene, but he was unable to locate the exact spot where the object had landed. "Locke said Moore made no claims of seeing any creatures or beings in connection with the landing. He explained that Moore said he was "scared to death" during the incident and left the area as soon as the object took off. The image appears to contain a newspaper clipping or article about a reported UFO sighting in Montville, Gosaga County. Montville 'UFO' Tops Bump Gosaga County Man Reportedly Talked to Washington Officials by DAVID VORMELKER Oden Moore, the Gosaga County man who reported sighting a strange light in the sky near Montville the night of Nov. He watched it for 10 to 15 minutes, he said, before it suddenly disappeared. "It was in the east, and bigger than a star," Moore said. "It kept getting brighter, then dimmer, and then it just disappeared." He said the light did not move, but remained stationary. After the light disappeared, Moore said he returned to his farmhouse and found two men there who said they represented the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. "They asked me a lot of questions - too many, I think," Moore said. "They wanted to know exactly what I saw, how long I saw it, and in what direction.
