Something landed in Delphos, Kansas—and it didn’t come in peace… it came glowing.

In this episode of Tinfoil and Tan Lines, host Logan Mathias dives deep into one of the most compelling trace evidence UFO cases in American history: the 1971 Delphos Encounter. When a 16-year-old farm kid and his dog witness a glowing craft hovering in their backyard, it sparks a mystery that still baffles investigators to this day. With a perfect circle burned into the ground, glowing soil, and physical side effects that defy explanation, the Delphos case remains a cornerstone of UFO lore.

Logan explores the eyewitness account, the scientific analysis of the soil, the bizarre aftermath, and why this small-town encounter stands up to decades of scrutiny. Was it a UFO? Experimental tech? Or something stranger?

Get ready for eerie details, Midwest mystery, and a case that makes you question what’s really landing in our backyards.
