Farmer Encounters Landed UFOs.

• "The color of the machine was like a brushed stainless steel. It was rough and you could see while it was revolving that it was sort of grooved all around; you could see kind of grooves, they were darker grey....a dark grey...like it had been hot at one time, like steel that gets hot and cools off."

Back fifty years ago this UFO case caused quite a big news media stir at the time (so bit of a mystery why most folks haven't heard of it these days) but for those interested it involves a close range, daylight sighting of five spinning, domed shaped objects by farmer Edwin Fuhr in Langenburg, Canada, September, 1974.












Described as 'symmetrical bun shaped' and 'the colour of highly polished steel' it's said the objects also emitted a grey vapour; exhibited highly unusual flight characteristics and left physical trace evidence behind in the form of circular swirls of grass (with grass in the centre still erect) where the objects hovered on his property before 'shooting straight up'.

There are claims made here by Canadian researcher Henry McKay that the police attempted to silence the farmer but the RCMP Officer in charge of the area at the time found the witness to be 'reliable' and the RCMP (and CUFOS) investigation concluded no hoax.

• "Something was there and I doubt it was a hoax. There's no indication anything had been wheeled in or out and Mr. Fuhr seemed genuinely scared."

So 37 years later below is an extensive interview with farmer Fuhr - he's never changed his story and goes into quite remarkable detail about what happened on that day; the unknown objects that visited his farm and the ensuing media frenzy.

Part Two:

In 1974 a farmer in the Canadian prairies was swathing his family field when he came across what he initially believed to be 5 domed hunting blinds parked in the tall grass next to a pond.

As he approached the objects in the tall grass on foot to confront whomever was responsible, he suddenly realized the objects were spinning at a very high rate of speed, and hovering a foot off the ground.

After a number of minutes at close proximity, the terrified farmer retreated to his now unresponsive swather, and spent the next extended period of time trapped to his seat in terror, watching the objects spin silently next to the pond.

Eventually the objects lifted off in a stepped formation, momentarily hanging in the air above him. After a purge of vapour, the objects raced out of sight at an incredible speed.

Local RCMP investigated the scene and filed a report which concluded the site was no hoax.

Within a week the timid farmer and his family suffered a media blitz and became an unwilling global celebrity. Thousands flocked to the family farm to see the site by any means possible. Scientists, engineers, energy companies, industrialists, local community members, religious members and all manner of quacks were part of the human bouquet that participated in the siege on the family.

Eventually, the extended family helped form a barrier of respectful privacy between Edwin and the curious mobs.

The story cooled, but the truth of the events remained uncontested

37 years later, the farmer at the center of it all grants an interview and goes into great detail about what he saw, and the insanity that followed once the media became involved. His story about what happened that day has never changed.

Using models, reenactments, family photographs, historical documents, interviews with many involved, and a visit to the actual landing site (still reportedly radioactive), there has never been a more robust access to material on of the 1974 Edwin Fuhr UFO encounter.

The project title is derived from Edwins description of the texture visually present on the upper portion of the objects.
