Initial data
24 April 1964, a farmer from the city TIGI Gary Wilcox met a few self-sacrificing Martians, who were among the most talkative aliens ever visited our planet.
That morning, Wilcox threw the manure, when he noticed a metallic object in the trees. He went to explore this place and found aluminum object in the form of eggs, 20 feet (6m) in length and 4 feet (1.2 m) in height. It hovered at 2 feet (0.6 m) above the ground, emitting a noise similar to a car engine idling.
The farmer curiously kicked the object and it popped up two humanoid with a height of 4 feet (1.2 m). They wore one-piece silver suits that covered all their bodies (even their faces) and kept the trays filled with samples of soil and plants.
"Do not worry. We talked to people before, " announced one of them. "We're what you humans call a planet Mars".
The Martians told spooky voices emanating from their bodies. They told Wilcox that they "are traveling in the hemisphere" exploring life on Earth. They could visit our planet only every two years and avoid the cities because of pollution "in the way" of their space ships.
Wilcox asked if it is possible to arrange a short visit to Mars. Aliens protested, saying that he would find the atmosphere too thin. Indeed, they seemed to be opposed to the Humanity in General went into space. They argued that our space program was "too primitive" to succeed, and predicted that two American astronauts (Gus Grissom and John Glenn) was going to die from side effects of space flight, as two of the Soviet cosmonaut. They also claimed that "Earth and Mars and other planets can be changed."
The Martians asked Wilcox to explain the work he did on the sidelines. They obviously believed that the study of the earth's agriculture will help them to solve their problems of growing crops in "the rocky structure of Mars."
Wilcox explained the benefits of using fertilizers. Obviously impressed, they asked if they could take a bag of manure. While he was collecting his, of being plunged once again into your object and took off. However, Wilcox left the fertiliser at the landing site. The next day it was gone.
Later, Wilcox was evaluated by psychiatrist and author Berthold Schwartz. Schwartz came to the conclusion that he was "a truthful person with no emotional illness" and that his experience was "real" event, "although the interpretation of the meeting is complex and uncertain issue."
Unfortunately, Gus Grissom did indeed die, but not from space sickness. He was trapped in the fire that broke out on Board of the Apollo, held ground tests in January 1967. Three months later, Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov died when his capsule parachute did not open. John Glenn, on the other hand, survived his service in space and began a successful career in politics.

Original news
On April 24, 1964, Tioga City farmer Gary Wilcox encountered a pair of self-professed Martians who proved to be among the most talkative aliens to ever visit our planet.
That morning, Wilcox was spreading manure when he noticed a metallic object in a nearby clump of trees. He walked over to investigate and discovered an aluminium egg-shaped craft, 20ft long and 4ft high. It was hovering 2 feet above the ground, making a noise like a car engine idling.
The farmer gave the object an inquisitive kick and two 4-foot-tall humanoids ducked out from beneath it. They wore one-piece silver suits that covered their entire bodies (even their faces) and held trays filled with soil and plant samples.
“Do not be alarmed. We have spoken to people before,” announced one of them. “We are from what you people refer to as planet Mars.”
A Warning and a Prophecy
The Martians spoke in eerie voices that originated from their chests. They told Wilcox they were “travelling the hemisphere” surveying life on Earth. They were only able to visit our planet once every two years and avoided cities because the pollution “interfered” with their spacecraft.
Wilcox asked if a short visit to Mars could be arranged. The aliens demurred, saying he would find the atmosphere too thin. Indeed, they seemed opposed to Mankind venturing into space at all. They claimed our space program was “too primitive” to succeed, and predicted that two American astronauts (Gus Grissom and John Glenn) would soon die from the side-effects of space travel, as would two Soviet cosmonauts. [1] They also claimed that “the Earth and Mars, plus some other planets, might be changed round”.
A Complicated and Uncertain Matter
The Martians asked Wilcox to explain the work he had been doing in the fields. They apparently believed that studying Earth’s agriculture would help them solve their problems growing crops on the “rocky structure of Mars”.
Wilcox explained the benefits of using fertiliser. Obviously impressed, they asked if they might take a bag of it home with them. While he was fetching it, the creatures hopped back into their craft and took off. Nevertheless, Wilcox left the fertiliser at the landing site. By the next day, it was gone.
Wilcox was later evaluated by psychiatrist and author Berthold Schwartz. Schwartz concluded that he was “a truthful person with no emotional illness” and that his experience was a ‘real’ event, “though the interpretation of the encounter is a complicated and uncertain matter”.

Footnote
[1] Sadly, Gus Grissom did indeed die, though not from space sickness. He was trapped in a fire which broke out aboard an Apollo module undergoing ground tests in January 1967. Three months later, Soviet Cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov plummeted to his death when his capsule parachute failed to deploy upon re-entry. John Glenn, on the other hand, survived his tour of duty in space and embarked upon a successful career in politics.
