Iowa UFO Sightings
March 30, 1897 Sioux City, IA
None of his fellow farmers questioned his veracity when he told them of the strange occurrence this farmer had while tilling his field. Apparently, an airship hovered over the man for a time before descending. As it did, the craft lowered two heavy ropes with hooks one of which caught the farmer. Suddenly, the man felt himself being dragged upward. Fortunately, he was able to free himself and only watch the airship disappear.

Driving his empty bus back to the depot in Mason City, an anonymous driver first observed a solitary elliptical craft fly off towards the city. It was followed by four similar craft. Minutes later, the man sighted 13 craft, at approximately 1,200ft, moving in the opposite direction. All purred with the sound of electrical motors.
