Shiny domed disc in tobacco field. 30 feet diameter area of plants flattened, wilted and burned.
An object was observed. Ground traces were found. One shiny domed disc, about 40 feet across, was observed by a male witness on a farm for five minutes (Borda).
Tobacco farmer Joseph Borda saw a shiny dome shaped object sitting in his field and assumed it was a tank truck spraying his crops. Two days later he discovered that all the tobacco plants in a 20 feet circle had been damaged and burned. Investigators found a bluish tint like substance on the field and found out that it was an oily silicon base substance of unknown composition. Mr. Borda had not reported to police right away and was surprised to see a black limousine with Arizona plates arrive at his farm and proceed directly to the damaged area without stopping for permission. Upset he followed the limo and found three strange men @ the site gathering samples. When he asked what they were doing he was told to return to work, to mind his own business. Strangely, he meekly agreed, and returned to his work without argument.
