Case description

A brief report from near Medicine Lodge, Kansas, describes a man encountering a large object on the ground near Highway 160. Small figures were said to be moving around it. The imported record places the case in March 1967, while the CUFOS humanoid catalogue uses the broader dating “Spring 1967.” No secure day or time is supplied. The surviving summary does not establish the object’s detailed outline, its lighting, or the beings’ faces and clothing. It also does not describe an exchange of words, an approach to the witness, or an entry into the craft. Footprints were reportedly found and photographed, but the referenced photographs and an underlying field investigation were not available in the consulted catalogue. Those trace claims therefore cannot supply anatomical detail missing from the witness summary. CUFOS identifies a witness letter to NICAP and explicitly notes that the original source was not in its files. This is a thinly documented historical report, preserved with its limits. The reconstruction uses a distant object and small figures in a plausible roadside landscape; the motorist’s likeness, vehicle, exact site and craft geometry are illustrative. It should not be confused with separate 1967 reports from Minatare, Nebraska.
