"ALIEN ABDUCTION OVER A CENTURY AGO?
The story was related to a Catholic priest by an elderly man on his deathbed. The man claimed that as a boy he was part of a posse searching for stolen cattle in the mountains south of Tucson, Arizona in 1899, when “a huge, silver bowl in the sky” flew ahead of the posse. The lawman in charge ordered the group to split up. The witness said “a tiny man in silver-colored clothes” confronted him with a hollow tube. The boy drew his revolver and fired six shots into the creature. The little man flickered like a candle flame and disappeared. The boy rejoined the posse, and the lawman set off alone to investigate. About an hour later, the silver bowl rose into the air and took off. When the posse rode to the area where they’d seen the UFO ascend, they found the lawman’s horse, but no sign of the man himself. An Apache tracker with the group said the depth of the animal’s hoofprints showed the man had left the horse at a certain point. However, there were no bootprints at the spot indicating he’d dismounted and proceeded on foot. The posse searched the area for several days, but found no trace of the missing lawman."
