Garrison Family Minuteman-Site Hovering Object Report

1967-07-25Garrison farm / Minuteman site, North Dakota, United States

LaVern Affeldt and family reported a blue-white luminous object hovering near a Minuteman site after cattle and a dog became agitated. It made rapid darting movements, changed red during acceleration, and family members disagreed between round and top-like morphology.
