MUFON UFO JOURNAL No. 290 https://archive.org/details/MUFON_UFO_Journal Date: June 24 1947 Near Pendleton, Oregon He allegedly saw two little humanoids in green suits with white helmets standing right underneath a disc shape craft. The beings just suddenly disappeared, and he didn't know how they got back in the craft. While driving down a rural road on the afternoon of the 24th, Bill Schuening figured the humming noise that he heard was a tractor. But instead, when his pickup rumbled over the rise and he looked across the field some 200 or 300 feet away, he saw a disc-like object suspended five or six feet off the ground. “I would have given anything to have had a camera with me,” he said. “It was definitely there,’ hovering above the rolling farmland some 25 miles north of Pendleton, Oregon. That same afternoon, Kenneth Arnold landed his plane in Pendleton and told reporter Bill Bequette he'd just seen nine shiny, flat objects streaking across the sky at incredible speed. “My boss told me about a flying disc story and I told him I saw one too,” Schuening said. “TI told my wife about it. She said that 1 was crazy to say anything about it. Everyone said we were just saying things.” Lester King, for whom Schuening was ranch foreman for 17 years, convinced him to go to town and tell others what he’d seen. And Schuening says he saw more than just a disc. “There were two little guys in green suits with white helmets standing right underneath it. They were no taller than this,” holding his hand at waist level. Schuening said he watched the helmeted beings for a few seconds and then “they were gone. How they got in (the craft) I'll never know. Suddenly they were just gone. Moments later the craft zipped away toward the Columbia River, made a big circle, and headed over the mountains.” (The East Oregonian, Pendleton, OR (6/26 and 30, 1947 & 6/24, 1987) submitted by /u/Shiny-Tie-126 [link] [comments]
