THE NEBRASKA 1884 UFO CRASH
Here's a forgotten incident in UFO lore. On June 6, 1884 near Dundy County, Nebraska, John Ellis, three of his herdsmen and several cowboys were rounding up the herd when they heard a strange noise overhead. Looking up, they saw a "blazing body" fall to Earth, splitting the ground. Herdsman Alf Williamson was burned as he approached the object, and was taken back to Ellis' home and treated for burns.

Most interesting: A piece recovered from the wreckage resembled "the blade of a propeller screw...about 16 inches wide, three inches thick and three-and-a-half feet long," yet did not weigh more than five pounds, but seemed as strong as any metal." Another object was found with similar properties. Very little is known about the incident.
