Hot Springs (Arkansas) — May 6, 1897
Two policemen, Sumpter and McLenore, were riding northwest of Hot Springs when they saw a bright light in the sky. About 7 km farther they saw the light again coming down to the ground. One km farther the horses refused to walk. Two men were seen carrying lights. The lawmen took heir rifles, called the strangers, and were told that hey crossed the country with a flying craft. The sil- ouette of the machine, about 20 m long, could be seen in the clearing. There was a woman with an um- brella nearby. It was raining, and the younger of the men was filling a large container with water. Yhe elder man had a beard and suggested that the policemen fly with them “to a place where it does not rain.” The same witnesses went back through the same spot 40 min later and found nothing.
