I don't have any photos to accompany this clip found on a UFO website - but
thought it belonged on the Mystery Page:18 Apr. 15, 1897 Linn Grove (Iowa).
A large object was seen to fly morning slowly toward the north. It seemed
ready to land and five men (F. G. Ellis, James Evans, David Evans, Joe
Croaskey, Benjamin Buland) drove toward it. About 7 km north of Linn Grove,
they found the craft on the ground, came within 700 m of it but it "spread
its four giant wings and rose towards the North." Two strange figures aboard
the craft made efforts to con- ceal themselves. Witnesses were surprised at
the length of their hair. Most residents of Linn Grove saw the craft in
flight.
