Occurred : 6/30/1956 13:00 (Entered as : 1956 13:00) Reported: 10/26/2011 7:24:29 AM 07:24 Posted: 12/12/2011 Location: Cape Girardeau, MO Shape: Diamond Duration: 5 minutew
Angular UFO sighted as a child When I was approximately 5 or 6 years old (around 1956), I was playing in a field adjoining my back yard with some neighborhood playmates. My attention was drawn to a white object that was floating in the sky, and coming toward my playgroup. It eventually began descending, and being unafraid of it, I walked toward where I thought it might land. It came down close to a backyard neighbor’s trash/burn spot as I approached it. As stated previously, it was white, very angular (like a fold-up paper airplane), and floated silently. It came down within 5-6 feet to the ground. I approached it to touch it, and it gently and silently rose and gradually floated out of sight.
