DELPHOS, KANSAS - A MYSTERY RING

As a young bride, I moved to Minneapolis, Kansas (just south of Delphos) in June of 1972.  I remember as July brought reports of a UFO being seen in the area of Minneapolis that some of the people, including a quartet of other young couples, would often gather on the church steps after evening service and share the latest news of events going on. 

More than once they shared the latest gossip and would share memories of the Delphos event. Some had known the family. A few had been among the gawkers who went to the farm to see the "mystery ring" and it was still slightly glowing at the time. Most were farming families and most discounted the idea that the ring was fungus - a "fairy ring."  Too many friends and family members had also seen pretty odd things in the skies to settle for that mundane explanation. 

As the video notes, this was one of the most scientifically studied cases of modern UFO history...
