The Van Meter Alien Visitor Of 1903
The Van Meter Visitor
September 29–October 3, 1903 Van Meter, IA
An implement dealer named U. G. Griffith is on his way home in Van Meter, Iowa. As he approaches, he notices a strange point of light like a spotlight emanating from the top of the Mather & Gregg’s building.
He approaches cautiously, but the light sails across the street. He tells others about the experience, and over the next few days several people report a half-human, half-animal entity with large bat-like wings. The townsfolk chase the creature to a local mine shaft, down which it disappears, never to be seen again.
