SCHIRMER CONSCIOUS-OBSERVATION DISC (1967 REPORT)

Disc-shaped object described by Herbert Schirmer in his initial conscious account near Ashland, Nebraska: red-lit windows, a catwalk, polished-metal appearance, low hovering, siren-like ascent and a bottom flame-like emission. Later hypnosis-derived occupants and interior details are deliberately excluded from this craft dossier.
