Alexander Hamilton was awakened by a noise among the cattle and went out with his son and his tenant.

Alexander Hamilton was awakened by a noise among the cattle and went out with his son and his tenant. They saw an elongated cigar-shaped object, about 100 meters long with a transparent cabin underneath showing narrow reddish bands, hovering ten meters above ground. They approached within 50 meters of it. It was illuminated and equipped with a searchlight. Inside it were "six of the strangest beings" the witness had seen, also described as "hideous." They spoke a language no witness could understand. A cow was dragged away by the object with the help of a strong red cable; it was found butchered in a field the next day.


One red cigar-shaped object was observed.

There are several Hamiltons in the 1900 census for Le Roy, Kansas, but no Alexander. There are several Alexander Hamiltons in Kansas but none in a county near Le Roy.
