One of the earliest reports of alien abduction from Twin Falls, Idaho, Sept. 7, 1956, more notable that the abductee was a 400-pound steer. UFOs and cattle, a puzzling connection.
Sometimes a non-vital stories went out on wire services and local papers saved them as filler items, the editors not noticing later updates. This is an example, printed September 10, 1956.
