June 14; Dale, Indiana: About 9 p.m. Charles Englebrecht was watching TV in his living room. Suddenly the TV set and lights in an adjoining room went out and he noticed almost at once a luminous object outside the window. He ran to the door to investigate, and saw a glowing object about the size of a basketball land about 30 feet away. As he tried to move closer, he felt something like a mild electric shock and was unable to move forward. After about 2 minutes the UFO took off, emitting a wh…

SAUCER LANDING IN INDIANA: A sensational news report from Hunting-
burg, Indiana, dated June 14th, tells of a landing quite similar to the Glass-
boro, N.J. incident. On a farm two miles northwest of Dale, Indiana, a glowing
object landed at about 9 p.m. one night, and then flew away, leaving behind
the smell of sulpher. The UFO also left behind a burned spot, and three holes
or indentations in the ground, approximately a half inch deep each. An Air
Force investigator came to the scene and interviewed Charles Engelbrecht, the
18-year-old youth who witnessed the landing. The investigator retrie…

...Lack of space prevents us from giving details, but we have recently learned of two more incidents in which physical evidence was apparently left behind by a flying saucer, as in the Glassboro, N.J. case. The first incident occurred near Connellton, Indiana, a few days after the sighting described in the middle of Page 23. No UFO was seen, but four mysterious burned circles were found in a hay field belonging to Mr. and Mrs. James Stowe. These were described as "acid type burns."

Dear Bill:

During the investigation, did anyone mention fireworks to you? I heard last night from their neighbors that firecrackers were set off at the farm Sunday, presumably as a part of the entertainment (they had 64 guests--this is in the social news in The Dale News).

I don't know what kind of fireworks, but I have seen some rocket-types that could very well have been launched from that "pad" in the back yard; that would also explain the three…

Report of Sighting
W. T. Powers, Dearborn Conservatory

At 8:55 pm, 14 June 1964, 18, of Dale, Indiana, was sitting alone in his living room (his parents were in bed) watching television. From where he sat, he could see through an open archway into the kitchen, and cut through the kitchen window. He saw what appeared to be a light pass by the window, and got up to investigate. As he went into the kitchen, all the house lights and the television set went off. went outside through the door in the north side of the kitchen, looked to his left, and at the rear of the back yard saw a ball of lumino…

At the landing site was a small burned patch (see photos) with three small indentations on its edges, forming an isosceles triangle, and about 3/4 inch deep by 3/4 inch diameter. Only one hole was at all well-defined. One of the holes showed a sharp vertical edge as if the sharpened end of a pipe had been pushed straight down into the ground and lifted out again straight up.

Some grass blades next to the burned spot had a brownish-black stain on them; those present right after the event say that there was a small as of fuel oil or gasoline - or at least some oily smell - at the burned sp…

a wooden match from his pocket, struck it with his thumbnail, and applied it to the dried grass, fluffing up the matted strands so they would burn better. Investigator took a picture of this process, and did not mention the other match.

Witness' parents said that on Wednesday or Thursday last, Mr. [redacted] and his wife saw a ball of luminosity travel through the air across a field to the south, appearing between two buildings for four or five seconds, moving horizontally and just about at the horizon. The object was going west, but did not reappear to the right of the right-hand buil…
