Long Prairie Cans

-- Long Prairie, Minnesota, USA --
-- October 23, 1965 --

While out driving one evening, James Townsend encountered a large, upright rocket in the middle of the road. Wanting evidence, Townsend decided to knock it over with his car. However his car stalled, so ho got out to knock it over by hand.
Upon leaving his car, Townsend sighted three small beings that looked like beer cans. They walked awkwardly on two fins, extending a third whenever they stopped. Despite lacking eyes, Townsend felt they were staring at him. After a few minutes the cans went up into the "colorless" light into the rocket, and took off into the night, leaving behind three parallel lines of an oily substance.
