Breakfast With the Aliens

In April 1961, a UFO encounter occurred in Wisconsin that many researchers of the flying saucer phenomenon have seen fit to relegate to the domains of hoaxing and fantasy. It just might have been something else—something that takes us back to those enigmatic entities of the Isle of Man and Celtic lore. It was the morning of April 18th and the breakfast of a man named Joe Simonton was about to be rudely interrupted by visitors from another world. A chicken farmer, Simonton was sitting down to eat when he was shaken by the thundering sound of what he thought was a military plane, flying low overhead. It was not. He raced outside and was confronted by an honest-to-goodness flying saucer, about 30 feet in diameter, hovering above his yard.

Simonton could only stand and stare, in awe, as a doorway opened and a trio of men exited the craft and approached him. They were all short in height—about 5 feet—and wore outfits similar to military jumpsuits. One of the three approached Simonton with what clearly resembled a terrestrial jug, and managed to make Simonton understand that he wanted water. Simonton quickly obliged. As a thank you the aliens gave Simonton a plate of what appeared to be small pancakes. It was a good tradeoff for the farmer. The leader of the group gave a strange salute, and the three returned to the craft and shot away, into the heavens. Simonton ate his pancakes—or, at least, he ate one of them, apparently finding it pretty unappetizing.

There’s absolutely no doubt that—just as is the case with the affair of Truman Bethurum—the story of Joe Simonton stretches credulity not just to the limit but, some would surely say, way past it. But, the tale is not quite over. Simonton wasted no time in calling the police—which is, perhaps, an unlikely thing a hoaxer would consider doing. In no time, the U.S. Air Force was in on the action, too—as was the media. Interestingly, the Air Force concluded that Simonton had not concocted the story for money, attention, or infamy, but that he had experienced it in a strange, dream-like state. And there’s one other thing, too: I mentioned that Simonton only ate one of the pancakes. Simonton’s decision to preserve the remaining pancakes was a wise one. The Air Force had its scientists analyze one. The result of the analysis demonstrated just one anomaly. The pancake was identical to any other pancake, except for one thing: It was totally lacking in salt.

Two of the main ingredients in pancakes are milk and eggs. A cup of the former contains approximately 100 mg of sodium. It was never explained how, if Simonton was responsible for the whole thing—even if in an altered state, rather than engaging in deception—he had managed to remove the salt from the pancakes, to the point where not even a single molecule of salt could be found. The skeptic might say: So what? Well, it turns out that in fairy lore, the “little people” cannot abide salt.
