My grandpa's barn drawings flipped my skepticism
I spent 25 years thinking UFOs were all swamp gas and misidentified planes. Then last fall my grandpa passed and I found his old sketchbook from 1967, he drew these chevron lights over his farm in Iowa with notes about the date and time. He was the most boring, practical guy I ever knew, not one for tall tales. That specificity of his handwriting got me, so I checked the local paper archives and found a sighting report three towns over on the same night. How do you explain a detail like that, is it just coincidence or did something really fly over the Midwest back then?

Whoa, wait. You actually went to the archives and found a match? That part made me sit up straight. It's one thing to find a sketchbook, but to have a second source from the same night turn up is wild. That's the kind of detail that makes you wonder if your grandpa really saw something that night. Maybe the skeptics need to look at this one again, because coincidence can only stretch so far before it breaks.
