Michael J. Bizon had gone outside his home in Hubbard,
Oregon, to let the cow out of her stall. The cow seemed
very nervous, and "was bucking all the way."
Then he saw a square object about four feet high. The
silver-colored UFO was sitting in the middle of a wheat
field. It had four shiny legs. The object rose, slowly
at first, and then "shot up just like a rocket."
A flattened area with three spots was found in the wheat
field.

UFO Frightens Boy, Cow
Young
Michael J. Bizon had gone outside his home in Hubbard,
Oregon, to let the cow out of her stall. His mother, Mrs.
Leonard M. Bizon, was inside the house. The time was about
7:30 a.m., May 19, 1964.
"I
went to put the cow out in the field," Mike told
a local newspaper reporter. "Usually, she can't
wait to get out there. . . . She was crosswise in the
stanchion and seemed very nervous. .. . She was bucking
all the way."
Then
he saw a square object about four feet high. The silver-colored
UFO was sitting in the middle of a wheat field. It had
four shiny legs.
"It
started with a soft beep and started to go up,"
the boy told Marion County Deputy Sheriff Shirlie H. Davidson,
who sent his official report to NICAP. "It went
up slow until it got to about the height of a telephone
pole. Then it shot up just like a rocket. . . ."
Mike
said the UFO emitted a smell like gas fumes as it rose.
He then ran into the house. Mrs. Bizon said her son "had
been very frightened and half crying when he made the
report to her."
At
about this time, Ray Mortenson, the Bizons' carpenter,
arrived on the scene. He went with the boy to the wheat
field and they found a spot where the wheat had been flattened
out.
"I
would say the area was between three and four feet across,"
the carpenter stated, "with the wheat being pushed
out in a flower-shaped pattern."
After
being notified of the incident, Officer Davidson also
arrived on the scene and saw the flattened area.
"The
grain appeared to have been pushed down by some object,"
Davidson wrote in his report. "Three particular
spots were noted. These were spaced about 36 inches apart.
. . ."
Later,
an officer from Adair Air Force Base also inspected the
site, but NICAP is unaware of any Air Force comment on
the case.
