Incident #1000815
Vader, Lewis Cty, Washington
Dec 1970
Account
Children showed Mrs. Wallace Bowers 15-inch by 6-inch tracks in inch-deep snow in her yard. They sank 1.5 inches into gravel under the snow. (These tracks are unexceptional, but the article links them with a UFO report by Mrs. Bowers, and in June, 1971, she reported 5 tracks in the yard, 18 inches long, that appeared out of nowhere and ended without reason. Another UFO report was included with that story.)
