It was a typical day on October 25, 1999. Jon Hoffman was leading a group of hunters from Texas on an expedition near his home in South Dakota. They were almost finished with their hunt when one of the group members called out to say he had seen a plane fall out of the sky.

He was the only one who saw the plane, and there was no explosion or noise. However, two F-16 jets flew over them a few minutes later, and they knew something was strange. The men didn’t realize that the entire country had been glued to their screens, watching this mysterious plane all morning.
