About 1947, Rome, New York, USA, a group of children:
Brief summary of the event and follow-up:
British "skeptical" ufologist Peter Rogerson told in his INTCAT "entities" ufology catalogue circa 2016 that in 1947 or 1646 or 1948 at 3 o'clock, in Rome, New York, USA, a group of children walking to the local store saw a reflection in the woods.
One 9-year-old girl went forward and encountered a silvery circular object on the ground. When she approached, a sort of fence appeared around the thing and a being approached and silently asked her what she was doing there, and told her she would not be hurt.
Her cousins tried to pull her away. There was then a gap of about 5 hours.
Sometimes after this her family was intimidated by someone in military uniform.
Rogerson said he found this in a Preston Dennett book of 2008 on page 126, adn that the book citing "Internet sources."

Points to consider:
The main problem here is obviously the totally uncertain credibility of the story; of which I could not find the original text on the Internet.
