It was winter time when 2 young boys observed a Saucer shaped craft land on farm property where they where playing .
as they approached the saucer it felt very hot and as the neared it took off up into the sky leaving behind a depression in the soil.

Thou this is just a short little article whats strange is most UFO of that era where described as Cigar or dirigible shaped .
I can not find anything in local newspapers about it either .
