A strange flying object streaked across the skies above the Theodore
Goff farm on the afternoon of the 18th and left behind it a mysterious
substance that defied explanation. The strange, seemingly metallic substance,
came off the UFO in thin fibers and settled to earth, draping itself like
a finely-knit shroud over Goff’s fields, trees, machinery, and power lines.
The farm is located near Chadron, Nebraska. "It was about three o’clock,"
Goff related, "and I had been working in my shed. I came outside and
happened to look up and see this strange ball flying through the air. It
was kind of rough and seemed to be rolling as it sped through the air.
It was going faster than any airplane I ever saw and it just disappeared
from sight when it got out of the sunlight. It made absolutely no noise."
"Big chunks of it broke off and these fibers began settling down on everything. The ball was about as big around as a tractor tire, four feet in diameter or so and it came out of the southwest going northeast. At first I thought it was an airplane but when I really looked, I just didn’t know what to think. It's hard to say how high up it was, maybe a thousand feet or more. The fibers cannot be seen with the naked eye except when they are in direct sunlight. Then, and only then, can you see them glistening ghostlike in the sun. They can be felt on the skin like spider webs, but they are much smaller in diameter than a spider web. A human hair seems like a rope compared to the fibers.
"I didn't really notice the fibers much that day, but the next morning my fields and trees just glowed with the stuff when the sun hit them. You can pick one up, but you can’t really tell if you have one unless the sun hits it just right. It's the strangest stuff I ever saw."
Attempts to break the weird strings were to no avail. They seemingly could not be broken apart, but, when a hot cigarette was applied to one of the strings, it did break. The string did not, however, burst into flame or seem to burn. "They're so fine you just can’t tell when you've got one," Goff said. "You can feel it, but you can't see it."
