A farmer was tilling his fields in the middle of the day when he saw a flash of light in the sky. 

Then the object approached him, and he saw that it was egg-shaped and silvery in color. He descended and just before landing, his feet "grew out from under the bottom." He sat down in a cornfield 100 yards (90 m) from the farmer. 

A port opened below, and "some people" 4 or 5 feet (1.2-1.5 m) tall, dressed in a one-piece metal "flying suit," got out and moved around the corn for a while before returning.

With a" light roar " and blue flames, the UFO disappeared into the sky. 

Where it landed, the vegetation was flattened as if by a whirlwind. Other "nests" were discovered in several Iowa farm towns around the same time.

A farmer was cultivating his fields in the middle of the afternoon when he saw a flash of light in the sky; an object then approached him and he saw it was egg shaped and silvery in color. It descended and just before it landed, legs “grew out of the bottom;” it set down in a cornfield 100 yards from the farmer. A port opened near the bottom and “some people” 4 or 5 feet tall; wearing one-piece metallic looking “flying suits,” got out and moved about in the corn for a while before getting back in. With a “slight roar” and a blue flame the UFO disappeared into the sky. Where it had landed the vegetation had been flattened as if by a whirlwind. Other “nests” were found in several Iowa farm towns about the same time.
