| Estimados amigos de CDU, No he leído todavía el disquito de @NOMALIÍA de mayo, pero veo que incluye el artículo sobre el incidente asombroso de Joe Simonton. Es sin duda el caso ovni más famoso de mi estado de Wisconsin. Creo que el mejor reportaje es el de Jerry Clark en su enciclopedia de 3 tomos, que incluye mucha información que proviene de varias fuentes. El 14 de abril el periódico local editó otro artículo sobre en caso, que adjunto abajo, juntamente con mi correspondencia con una empleada del semanario. Rich Heiden Milwaukee, Wisconsin == http://correo.hispavista.com/Redirect/www.vilascountynewsreview.com/vilascountysearch.html?-database=eagleriver.data&-layout=lasso&-response=vilascountydetail.html&-recid=40083&-search (el recorte de prensa incluye también la foto a Simonton con el panqueque en la mano) Simonton UFO sighting subject at event By Marge Baerenwald News-Review Reporter Whether you believe in UFOs or not, there is still apparently a lot of interest in a 1961 sighting in the North Woods. A presentation related to the Joe Simonton UFO sighting in 1961 will be held Saturday, April 17, at the Northland Pines High School auditorium from 9:30 a.m. to noon with speaker Bill McNeff. McNeff was one of the original investigators and interviewers of Joe Simonton and his experience. McNeff is the MUFON Minnesota state director who investigates various unexplained phenomena, including UFO sightings, cattle mutilation and crop circles. Simonton was a plumber, who on April 18, 1961, reported hearing a whining sound and seeing an object, brighter than chrome, about 12 feet high and 30 feet in diameter, with exhaust pipes around the periphery, land near his house while he was having breakfast. According to Simonton, a door was opened and a man appeared, wearing a black turtleneck pullover with a white belt and black trousers with a vertical white band along the side. Two figures were visible inside the object. One of the men held up a jug, which appeared to be of the same material as the spaceship and motioned to indicate he would like water. Simonton said he took the jug, hurried to the house to comply and brought it back to the men. He judged they were about 5 feet in height, and weighed about 125 pounds. He said they were smooth shaved and appeared to resemble those of Italian descent. He also reported that he was given some sort of pancake which he said tasted like cardboard. There was local, state and nationwide news coverage; as well as television coverage, including several articles in the News-Review; and letters from around the world. The National Investigating Committee for Aerial Phenomena analyzed the pancakes and determined that they consisted of flour, sugar and grease. In 1961, Simonton was a plumber, auctioneer and annual Santa Claus for the Eagle River Chamber of Commerce. He died Aug. 21, 1972. Following the presentation at the high school, attendees are welcome to meet at Four Seasons Cafe and Deli in downtown Eagle River for coffee or lunch to continue the discussion. (Cafe dining/beverages at attendee's expense). The high school event is free, but a freewill offering is suggested for auditorium rental. In today's information age, several Web sites are available on Joe Simonton's story. 4/13/2004 (la fecha del semanario impreso fue el 14 de abril) === http://correo.hispavista.com/Redirect/www.vilascountynewsreview.com/vilascountysearch.html?-database=eagleriver.data&-layout=lasso&-response=vilascountydetail.html&-recid=40113&-search LETTER TO THE EDITOR Simonton's panckes Simonton UFO sighting subject at event Marv "Bwana" Elliott I was one of the Vilas County officers that responded to Joe Simonton's incident in 1961, along with Sgt. Adolph Mussatti. We talked to Joe, showed us a circular depression in his grassy yard where he claimed this UFO landed ? It was near where he kept his goat tied up to a stake..so you draw your own conclusions. Also we were shown two funny looking pancakes....black with big holes in them. Later, I heard that the grease from them was "beaver"? Joe was somewhat of a trapper and lived close to Joe Pekarek, who was a big time trapper. Was interesting story ?? Who Knows?? Bwana 4/19/2004 === 29 July 2004 Dear Editor, I subscribe to a state-wide clipping service for news about UFOs, etc.. They sent me Marge Baerenwald's article in the Eagle River Vilas County News-Review about Joe Simonton <http://correo.hispavista.com/Redirect/www.vilascountynewsreview.com/vilascountysearch.html?-database=eagleriver.data&-layout=lasso&-response=vilascountydetail.html&-recid=40083&-search. However, the service dated it April 14, and your web site dated it April 13. What is the actual date on printed paper? If April 13 was just POSTING date, the publication date should also be given (as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel does now). Also, the clipping service missed the follow-up letter <http://correo.hispavista.com/Redirect/www.vilascountynewsreview.com/vilascountysearch.html?-database=eagleriver.data&-layout=lasso&-response=vilascountydetail.html&-recid=40113&-search>. The web site dates it 4/19/2004. Is that the actual publication date? What day of the week does the masthead bear? Did the Three Lakes News also carry it? (the same date?); I can't find a web site for the News. How can I get a tear sheet? ... == Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2004 11:32:44 –0500 Rich Heiden, This is answer to your e-mail regarding Joe Simonton. The article appeared in our April 14, 2004 edition. We publish every Tues noon with a publication date of Wed. The stories are put on the web site every Tues afternoon. I have two tear sheets of the April 14 article on Joe Simonton from page 1B & page 3B. The letter you speak of dated April 19 was a "response talk-back" session only on the web site. The letter was not printed in the paper. Joe Simonton's obituary was printed in our Aug 24, l972 newspaper. It was on the front page with a picture and a jump on Pg 2. I cannot make a copy of that as it's in the fold in our bound volumes and a lot of it would be cut off. I recommend contacting the Historical Society in Madison where all our newspapers are on microfilm. That way you would get a complete copy. You can write to them at: State Historical Society of WI, Newspapers Unit, 816 State St, Madison WI 53706-1417. Regarding The Three Lakes News...we also print that, but it is the same as the News-Review except maybe for the front page that might be different....
