Narrative
An interview from 1961 featuring Joe Simonton, who claimed a UFO landed on his property. Simonton alleged the craft's inhabitants asked him for some water and in exchange offered him pancakes. I've always found this to be one of the most interesting cases out there. Curious what everyone else thinks? submitted by /u/Aggressive-Loss5148
