Initial data
22 November 1961 metallurgists from Minneapolis Honeywell Melvin Wagle Jr. saw a UFO in the form of cigars. Later, NICAP learned about the surveillance through the newspaper "Honeywell" and got a firsthand account from Vegla, as well as a detailed picture of a UFO, made under his leadership.
It was a clear starry night around 7:00 PM (CST). Mr. and Mrs. Wagle was driving North on highway S. S., coming to the Grafton. The red light in the sky West of the highway ahead attracted their attention, and then other related lights made them think that it could be a plane.
When they approached the place they saw a "cigar-shaped object hovering at a sharp angle over a plowed field. At the lower end and the top end was a bright flashing white light, and red light burned. The length of the fuselage was a series of rectangular ports, lit a white yellowish light.
The UFO seemed to be stationary as long as, when the son of Weigel started crying, they drove on. While UFO seemed to be drifting West across the highway.
Earlier that night the farmer in the Grafton district saw a reddish UFO in the form of cigars West of Grafton and reported it to the local newspaper.
Support to the report Weigle NICAP was a letter from the farmer confirming the main points of his observations, which occurred at sunset. The farmer could not see any "ports", only a dim reddish light from a UFO. The object disappeared behind a dark cloud after about 10 minutes.

Original news
A Minneapolis Honeywell metallurgist, Melvin C. Vagle, Jr., saw a cigar-shaped UFO on November 22, 1961. NICAP later learned of the sighting through the Honeywell newspaper and obtained a first-hand report from Mr. Vagle, as well as a detailed painting of the UFO done under his supervision. [See sketch.]
It was a clear starlit night about 7:00 p.m. (CST). Mr. and Mrs. Vagle were traveling north on U S. Highway 81 approaching Grafton. A red light in the sky west of the highway up ahead attracted their attention, then other associated lights made them think it might be an aircraft. As they neared the site and pulled alongside they saw “a cigar-shaped object hovering at a sharp angle over a plowed field. . At the lower end. . . there was a bright ‘flashing white light ann at the upper end there was a steady red light. Along the length of the fuselage there was a row of square-appearing ports, illuminated with a white yellowish light.”
The UFO seemed to be motionless until, when the Vagle’s son started crying, they drove on. Then the UFO appeared to drift westward across the highway. Earlier the same evening a farmer in the Grafton area had seen a reddish cigar-shaped UFO west of Grafton and reported it to an area newspaper. Accompanying Mr.Vagle’s report to NICAP was a letter from the farmer confirming the basic points of his sighting, which occurred at sunset. The farmer could not see any “ports”, only a dull reddish glow from the UFO. The object vanished behind a dark cloud after about 10 minutes.
