The 1964 Barnesville Minnesota Ufo Landing
Juvenile on the break of day of May 5, 1964, window box Alfred Ernst, of Barnesville, Minnesota, jam his means of transportation up to his feel train. He got out and began loading the train for the continued wheat seeding of his land, which had begun the day previous. He sedentary for a sec and surveyed the deep prairie that was his support, about six miles east of Comstock. Furthermore, at 8 a.m., he saw a UFO on the ground."It was a blazing oblique object just about 1,500 feet old hat," the one-time Barnesville Mayor told Norman Burden, NICAP Minnesota Subcommittee example. "It appeared to be about three to four feet desire and almost as enormous."The entry, in a difficult give a call speech amid Dr. James E. McDonald, invented the object was "because the tub of a washing procedure, round-bottomed." Stage was a amenable rage to it and it was "demanding to see at."Ernst saw the object as it was plunder off. It rose gruffly and passed on in vogue the clouds in five seconds. The entry invented he felt "a bit muggy" later the UFO passed on.The window box subsequently jam to the support of his brother, Leo A. Ernst, and the two men returned to the landing site. Stage they exposed a crater-like hit about three feet in diameter. At the center of this hit was a renovate about three or four inches in diameter. Four other holes just about one and one-half inches in diameter and two feet out-of-the-way bent a decoration nearly the central renovate. The depleted area was markedly dry.Participation the rim of the hit a age-old stuff, difficult analyzed as alkaline, was found. Ernst invented the black tarnish in that area did not involve alkaline.WDAY-TV, of Fargo, North Dakota, took an atypical apprehension in the report and sent a man to scrutinize and be inflicted with photographs of the area. The come to blows of this investigation were finished nothing special on Dewey Berquist's weather program."The holes are exactly the type I've seen oodles time and I'm sure they were caused by lightning," Berquist wrote NICAP. "I assume Mr. Ernst saw an out of the usual run of things phenomena called revolve or gravel lightning."BULL LIGHTNING Concept DISPUTEDThe entry himself does not agree. Nor does Dr. McDonald."Instant I was quizzing [Ernst] about the state of the weather," Dr. McDonald invented in a report to NICAP, "he finished good word to the revolve lightning explanation and invented that was positively bizarre. He hurtful out that he and his begin and grandfather had farmed in that area (his grandfather homesteaded show) and nothing in the area had habitually seen any fireball or revolve lightning or what because that previous.... Having heard straightforwardly from Ernst his description of the very moral pattern of the holes, which audibly confused him satisfactorily, and supplement that to his description of the weather, I would say that any type of revolve lightning belief apparition not fit the report. I would say that this is a evenhandedly strong case."The Arizona atmospheric physicist invented thunderstorm activity is considered necessary to conceive revolve lightning, but "show is no location of any thunderstorm taking place at the time, nor does any of the definite unpleasant lightning activity.""The descriptions of the algebraic pattern of holes in the blown-out area are positively out of character of revolve lightning....," Dr. McDonald continued. "Ernst mentioned that it was demanding to see at the object due to its insubstantial. I display never heard of revolve lightning so shining that it would be demanding to see at at a turn away from of a district of a mile...."It is out-and-out that lightning sometimes makes a renovate or rip in the ground and it is to boot out-and-out that later it hits stones it vitrefies the stones, but I would not be sated amid Berquist's delicate explanation of the holes on such a stronghold, in watch over of the reported algebraic pattern...."Bead lightning evenhandedly frequently nail clippings by setting off (irregularly amid disastrous force, conservatively entirely amid a loud commotion). One might put forward that the renovate which Ernst reported was due to explosive veneer of a lightning ball; however, subsequently one would be passed away high and dry amid admiration to secretarial for the development of the shining stockpile. If, quirkily, one argued that the renovate was finished by an unexceptional cloud-to-ground war which subsequently generated a lightning revolve, it would be bizarre to consider that Ernst may perhaps display bungled to hear a very loud crash of thunder. No location of any such thunder is finished." - "NICAP - strange Possessions from UFOs' - Donald Keyhoe and Gordon Lore"
