The Intergalactic Pancake Breakfast (1961): Plumber Joe Simonton in Eagle River, Wisconsin, claimed a UFO landed in his yard, and the occupants—small, Italian-looking men—motioned for water. When he gave it to them, they handed him a metallic jug, which he filled, and in return, he received three small, greasy, "bland" pancakes, which he described as tasting like cardboard.
