The Delphos Kansas UFO Landing Ring

A very credible UFO encounter occurred in the small town of Delphos, Kansas in 1971. This case has never been debunked and is still considered one of the very best physical trace cases involving a UFO landing.

Sixteen-year-old Ron Johnson, along with his dog Snowball, was tending the family sheep when his attention was suddenly drawn to a mushroom-shaped UFO appearing in the night sky.

The flying object, metallic with multi-colored lights, was hovering approximately 75 feet away from Ron among some trees. Johnson estimated the craft was only a few feet above the ground. He estimated the craft's diameter at 6-8 feet.
