The Unexplained Cherry Creek UFO Landing Incident in 1965

In the summer of 1965, an apparent landing of a UFO would unfold in Cherry Creek, New York, witnessed at first by a teenage son, Harold Butcher, of the farm’s owners, and then, when it reappeared, by the entire family. What’s more, the incident was investigated by the New York police, the United States Air Force, and the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomenon (NICAP). At around 8:20pm on the evening of August 19th 1965, 16-year-old Harold Butcher had been in a barn milking cows when he spotted a silver saucer-shaped object in the sky outside. Describing it as a “football-shaped object hovering just above tree-level”, Butcher watched as the craft descended slowly emitting a red vapor downward from around the edges. He later described it as having a pair of vertical seams running up and down the side, said retired transportation safety researcher Robert Galganski who has extensively analyzed the case.
