Initial data
On a remote farm, a civil engineer and his wife came across a two-foot (0.6 m) diameter aluminum disk after traveling just 40 feet (12 m).
Early in the morning, 56-year-old R. E. Schenck and his wife were driving South on highway 58. At about 13: 30, they saw a small disk in the shape of two saucers, turned over each other.
The object hovered just a few feet from the road about 40 feet (12 m) away, and sunlight reflected off its surface. Surprised by what he saw, the former Navy pilot turned and drove back.
Then he and his wife saw the object at an altitude of about 2000-4000 feet (600-1200 m). It quickly rose through the sky and disappeared in the distance, heading towards Minneapolis.
The weather was clear, visibility unlimited. It was a clear, Sunny day.

Summary: In a remote farm area, a civil engineer and his wife encountered a two-foot diameter aluminum-like disc as they drove by just 40 feet away. In the early afternoon R. E. Schenk, age 56, and his wife were driving south on Highway 58. At about 1:30 p.m. they saw the small disc, shaped like two saucers, one inverted on top of the other. The object was hovering just a few feet off the road about 40 feet away, with sunlight reflecting off its surface. Surprised by what he had seen, the former Navy pilot turned and drove back. He and his wife then saw the object at an estimated 2,000-4,000 feet altitude. It climbed rapidly through the sky, and disappeared in the distance, headed in the direction of Minneapolis.
