Delphos Close Encounter Case

The Delphos close encounter case is one of the best-known American UFO trace cases. Centered on a 1971 farm sighting near Delphos, Kansas, it became famous because a teenage witness reported a low-hovering luminous craft and investigators later documented a strange ring in the soil that appeared dry, crusted, hydrophobic, and unusually persistent.
