10-05-2024 - On This Day in Insane History

On October 5th, 2024 in the small town of Jamestown, Nebraska, an unusual meteor was spotted streaking across the sky around noontime. Witnesses described it as brightly glowing various colors as it maneuvered along unlike any meteor they had seen before. According to eye reports, just before burning up in the atmosphere, the object changed direction several times as if under intelligent control.

That evening, a local farmer named Cletus Johnson was out in one of his fields on his tractor doing some last minute plowing under the light of the rising full moon. As he plowed along, Cletus' attention was drawn to strange flickering lights emerging from Johnson's Gully, a small ravine on the edge of his property. Abandoning the tractor, he walked over to investigate.

Peering down into the gully, Cletus was shocked to observe an unfamiliar craft hovering just above the ground. It was triangular in shape, around 30 feet wide, composed of an unknown silvery metal. Blue and white lights flashed in sequences along its surface. As he watched hidden by some bushes, a smaller hatch on the underside opened with a soft hiss. Out emerged a creature about five feet tall covered in light gray skin with an abnormally large egg-shaped head and slender limbs. It was examining the craft and making chirping noises that sounded like nothing of this Earth.

Cletus, paralyzed by a mix of fear and curiosity, just continued observing in silence. After about ten minutes, the strange being re-entered its vehicle and the hatch silently closed. The craft emitted a low hum and ascended straight up through the night sky at incredible speed, changing colors until it vanished among the stars. Cletus ran back to his home and farmhouse, waking his wife Barbara to give her a bewildered account. Their claim would ignite a media frenzy and UFO mania in the quiet town of Jamestown for years to come...
