Incident No. 162 -- 11 August 1945, 1200 Hours, Hamel, Minnesota. Two children, ages ten and eight, described a dull gray object two feet in diameter and one foot thick, shaped like two plates together which settled gently to the ground. It clanked when it touched down. On the ground it emitted a whistling noise and "shot" up to twenty feet where it hesitated, whistled once more, "shot" up to thirty feet, then "shot" off in a northeast direction. AMC Opinion: This apparent bit of fantasy is hardly worth further consideration.
