Before Roswell or Kenneth Arnold's sighting, Udo Andree Wartena (July 22, 1903 - December 15, 1989 in Oregon City, Oregon) was a Dutch-born gold miner who was reported by Warren Aston to have told friends in 1989, near the end of his life, that he had sighted a disc-shaped object and encountered its pilots during May 1940 while prospecting at the base of Boulder Mountain near Confederate Gulch in Broadwater County, Montana. Lecture by Australian researcher Warren P. Aston from 1997. Intriguing case and too bad he wasn't able to tell his story before 1947.
Udo Wartena's 1940 alien encounter incident and the nanotechnology connection:
I found the second half (nanotechnology) very interesting for a 1997 lecture. I didn't become aware of nanotech use until circa 2009.
Alien encounter: In 1940, a UFO reportedly landed in Broadwater County to take on water...

Quote:At an isolated location miner Udo Wartena saw a large disc shaped object about 35 foot high and over 100 feet across hovering above a meadow. The object resembled two soup plates, one inverted over the other and stainless steel in appearance. Wartena then saw a staircase unfold from the bottom of the craft. Out of it came a man who asked him if the ship could take some water. The man then invited Wartena inside the object. Wartena accepted and met another man inside that told him they had come from a distant planet and were 609 years old and the other over 900.
