The Joe Simonton / Alien Pancakes Case (Wisconsin; 1961)

Found this on Reddit, it seems very similar.

That's interesting, but ...

The circa 2018 Reddit account is short on details (time; place; etc.). The scene is rural Michigan, which could well be the Upper Peninsula mere miles from the scene of the 1961 Simonton incident (circa 57 years before the Reddit posting).

The person posting it is relatively young (judging by his other Reddit postings), and he received the story second-hand from his father.

My point is that there was a sufficient length of time and a regional correlation to open up the possibility the Reddit poster's father was relating a hand-me-down story (or outright tall tale) glossed with elements derived from the original Simonton incident.
