This tale is pretty wild. Haven't seen this discussed before on ATS, and wish to have your thoughts on the case.
I thought it would be a fun discussion.
Thanks to all in advance!

UFO CASE REPORT
Eagle River Close Encounter (man given 'pancakes' by UFO occupants)
Date: April 18, 1961
Location: Eagle River, Wisconsin, United States
Mr. Paul Simonton, a chicken farmer in Eagle River, Wisconsin saw a disc-shaped craft land vertically on his farm. A hatch opened, and when he
approached he saw three human-looking men inside. They asked him for some water. They appeared to be cooking pancakes on a griddle, and in exchange
for the water they gave him four of the pancakes from griddle. The episode survived a rigorous assessment by the U.S. Air Force and is carried in
their files as "unexplained."
Believe the man or not? lol Can you imagine this happening to YOU?!

An important clue to the meaning of these “engineered scenes” may be seen in an observation often made by careful observers of UFO phenomena,
especially CE-III and “contactee” cases: that they are profoundly absurd, or contain at least as much absurdity as rationality. Individual
“Close Encounters” have absurd details, like the four pancakes given by a UFO occupant to a Wisconsin chicken-farmer in 1961; one of the pancakes
was actually analyzed by the Food and Drug Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and was found to be of terrestrial
origin. More significantly, the encounters themselves are strangely pointless, without clear purpose or meaning. A Pennsylvania psychiatrist has
suggested that the absurdity present in almost all UFO close encounters is actually a hypnotic technique. “When the person is disturbed by the
absurd or contradictory, and their mind is searching for meaning, they are extremely open to thought transference, to receiving psychic healing,
etc.” Dr. Vallee compares this technique to the irrational koans of Zen masters, and notices the similarity between UFO encounters and occult
initiation rituals which “open the mind” to a “new set of symbols.” All this points to what he calls “the next form of religion.”
