Jan. 6, 1975 2300	U. S., near Lordsburg, New Mexico: Three peopIe listening to a CB radio in their parked car saw lights approaching them from behind. As the driver tried to move the car, the CB radio broke into static and the engine wouldn't start. A bluish light beam then shone on the car for a few seconds and the group heard a sound like the hum from high tension wires. The light then disappeared and they could start the car. As they drove away, they saw a blue glow behind a nearby hill. The battery on the car went dead a few days later. (APRO BuIIetin, June, 1975)
Jan. 12, 1975 0230	U. S., North Bergen Park, New Jersey: A 72-year-old liquor store owner was returning home when he heard static on his car radio, then a humming sound from outside his car. He saw a domed saucer-shaped object come down quickly and land in a park. Ten small humanoids about three-and-a-half feet tall emerged and gathered soil samples for three minutes. This all occurred only 100 feet from the road. The humanoids, who were dressed in some type of uniform, then got back in the craft which slowly moved away. Holes were found later in the ground where the humanoids had taken samples, (Ted Bloecher)
Feb. 19, 1975 1919	DENMARK, Orbak: At the same moment a woman saw a large circular object descending behind her, the car she was driving failed completely. The object gave off a blue luminescence and the witness felt increased heat in its presence. After a few moments, the object abruptly vanished and the car could be started. The witness became physically sick after the sighting. (MUFON Journal, August, 1976)
Apr. 19, 1975 2145	U.S., Carson City, Nevada: While stopped for a traffic light, two people observed a metallic disc only 50 feet overhead. Their car radio began emitting a beeping noise three times per second. The object was 75 feet in diameter and had an orange glow on the bottom and white rotating lights on a dome on top. After 30 seconds, it quickly flew away and the radio returned to normal. (MUFON)
Summer, 1975 2100	U.S. , near Ogenia, Wisconsin: Three men saw a blinking light in the sky. It was hovering close to the road, so as they drove closer, they could see it was a triangular object with a red, green, and yellow light at each vertex. They stopped the car underneath the object, which then moved about a mile down the road quickly. They tried to get closer, but the object continued to keep its distance, so they continued their journey. They found that the Cruise Control on their car wouldn't work, and after taking it to a garage a few days later, discovered its transistors had been burned out. (CUFOS)
July, 1975 2130	AUSTRALIA, near Hobart, Tasmania: A family of four were 30 kilometers east of Hobart when the interior of their car suddenly became hot and the car's engine stalled. They saw an object ahead about 200-300 meters, hovering 20 meters over the road. It was five meters in width, round and colored white or gray, with its own luminiscence. After about two minutes, the object took off very quickly on a spiral trajectory to the south or southwest. The husband checked the car, could find nothing wrong, so the family continued their journey. (ACOS Bulletin, December, 1977)
About July, 1975 0320	AUSTRALIA, Poatina Highway, Tasmania: On a cold and snowy night the driver of a car experienced a chilly sensation even though the heater was on. He then had difficulty steering the car and was forced to slow down. At that point, he observed an orange-colored light to the side of the road. It disappeared, but 100 meters further, he again had trouble steering and saw an oval object with orange and bluish glows on its body, and a blue and yellow-colored tail. It was hovering by the road, then slowly moved away, and he experienced no further difficulty with the steering. (ACUFOS)
Aug. 5, 1975 0605	AUSTRALIA, Orielton, Tasmania: While driving to work, a man had considerable difficulty with his car. The battery discharge light remained on and the lights kept dimming. After half an hour, he turned around and just then spotted a whitish-colored object descending from the sky in a "curling" trajectory, leaving an exhaust. It was 80 feet in diameter and 450 feet away, but visible for only 10 seconds. After arriving home and leaving his car shut off for a few moments, he found that it wouldn't start. But 15 minutes later, it started perfectly and gave him no more trouble. (ACUFOS)
Aug. 17, 1975 2223	U.S., Keams Canyon, Arizona: A 33-year-old policeman observed a strange bright light surrounded by red and green rotating lights. Three to five minutes after losing sight of the object, his car's engine, headlights, and radio inexplicably failed for 30 seconds. (CUFOS)
Sept. 5, 1975 0030	U.S., near Mt. Wilson, California: A 58-year-old man driving in a mountainous area saw an array of turquoise-blue lights in a triangular formation. He watched these lights as he descended the mountain. Eventually he stopped to get a better view and while he was watching, his car radio emitted "white noise." This was the only time during the sighting there was any interference with the radio's reception. The witness estimated the formation of lights was 15 feet wide and had come within a half mile of his car at its closest approach. After 15 minutes, he lost sight of the lights. (CUFOS)
Nov. 4, 1975 1845	U.S., Ross, Ohio: Six people noticed a cylinder-shaped object hovering at treetop height near the road. The engine and lights on their car went off while it was in view. It was 75 feet in length and had blue, green, and red rotating lights and square windows. As it began rotating faster, a three-foot diameter red ball of light was ejected from the large object. Both then flew away. (Skylook, January, 1976)
Nov. 15, 1975 2005	U.S., near Pacific, Missouri: A luminous red object approached a car. The radio reception became quite poor with heavy static. The object jettisoned some white balls of light. The metal on the car was reported to be magnetized after the sighting. (Skylook, February, 1976)
Nov. 16, 1975 0300	SPAIN, between Bocos and Curiel, Valladolid: A priest driving home saw an ellipsoidal reddish object much larger in apparent size than the full moon. He tried to drive away, but the engine of his car died suddenly and the car ended up partly in a ditch. The headlights continued to work. The object was hovering about one or one and a half kilometers away near the mountains, then suddenly moved away. He was still unable to start the car, so he walked to the nearest village for help. When he returned to his car, it started with no difficulty. (FSR, Vol. 22, No. 6)
Late Nov., 1975	U.S., near Goodridge, Minnesota: Nine miles west of Goodridge, two men saw a glowing red object in a field. They stopped their car to watch, but the engine stalled out. The object was only eight feet in diameter, and it rose into the air, hovered for a few seconds, then landed again. Their car could then be restarted, so the witnesses drove away. The car, which was new, required an extensive tuneup afterwards. (Author's files)
Mid-Dec., 1975 1900	SPAIN, between Castrouno and Pollos, Valladolid: Two people saw a white transparent light hovering over the road ahead. The engine of their car failed, but the headlights remained on. The light was about four meters in width. It then gradually moved off to their left, and the engine of the car could be restarted. A local farmer's son had seen the same type of light a few days before. (FSR, Vol. 22, No. 6)
Dec. 23, 1975 2300	U.S., Goodridge, Minnesota: Three teenaged girls noticed a bright light in the sky, whereupon their car's engine and lights failed. The light came closer and they saw it was an orange object, flat on top and round on the sides. It also had several flashing yellow lights and appeared to be 20-30 feet in diameter. After passing only 25 feet from the car, it suddenly disappeared and the lights and engine came on by themselves. (Author's fiIes)
Feb. 17, 1976 about 0400	AUSTRALIA, Tarraleah to Berridale, Tasmania: A truck driver saw a bright object ahead and to his left, low to the ground. After some time, the light had maintained its position relative to the truck, so the driver woke up his companion. The driver estimated the object was about one kilometer away and 300 meters in altitude. The men tried a transistor radio, but it had only static until the end of the sighting. They estimated the object to be 10 meters in diameter, with a dome on top. After being paced for 60 kilometers, they stopped to change drivers. The UFO dropped down within 300 meters of the truck, then hovered nearby. As they started driving again, the UFO moved over the road and paced them again at varying distances until sunrise. A small orange light accompanied the main object during the latter half of the sighting, (ACOS Bulletin, June, 1976)
Feb. 18, 1976 2000	U.S., near Okatchee, Alabama: Two women driving in a rural area saw lights pacing their car high in the sky, then saw a large orange object in the woods near the ground to their left. Their CB radio stopped working--no static, nothing at all. Two objects then followed them for 13-14 miles until Lincoln, Alabama, where they approached within 300-400 feet. The women saw five objects at this point. After passing through Lincoln, the objects stopped pacing the car and the CB radio suddenly started working. The two objects that had paced the car were egg-shaped and glowing with a fluorescent light. (CUFOS)
Feb. 20, 1976 1900	U.S., Essex County, Massachusetts: A young man and woman saw some odd red lights in the sky. Then two flattened disc-shaped objects with three triangular lights descended close to their car and maneuvered nearby for about 10 minutes. The car's radio had heavy static during a portion of the sighting. The two objects finally flew out of view. (MUFON)
Mar. 5, 1976 2125	U.S., Redmond, Oregon: A 23-year-old woman first saw an object high in the sky, which then dropped down to an altitude of only 75 feet. The object was disc-shaped, about 26 feet in diameter, and had red and white lights revolving around its exterior. Two light beams were directed from the object to the ground. The radio in the car went dead when the object came near, and though the woman kept driving, it did not work again until two miles down the road. The object did not follow the car. (CUFOS)
Apr. 21, 1976 2230	U.S., near Stacy, Minnesota: While driving through marshland, a 23-year-old woman saw a greenish-colored light off the highway. She stopped her pickup truck on a bridge and noticed that the light was pulsating and moving towards her. It passed overhead at 300-400 feet, and she estimated it was 12-15 feet in diameter. There was static on her CB radio as it came near. The light suddenly went up vertically and disappeared. (CUFOS)
Apr. 22, 1976 2310	U.S., Elmwood, Wisconsin: A 71-year-old policeman saw an orange glow over a hill and drove to investigate. He then observed a huge object 250 feet in diameter and only 100 feet in altitude. It had six blue windows, projections like fins, and landing legs. He could see figures moving inside. Suddenly the UFO flashed a blue color and his headlights and two-way radio went off. It then left quickly, giving off a loud sound. The witness was stunned and needed treatment at the hospital; the car needed new spark plugs and a condenser. Other people reported their TV sets hadn't worked at the same time the policeman saw the object. (CUFOS)
June 3, 1976 2155	U.S., Troy, Michigan: Two people saw a disc-shaped object the color of silver or chrome moving nearby in the sky. They followed it in their car for some time as it changed directions and moved erratically about. They also heard unusual static on the car radio during the sighting. Eventually the object suddenly left very quickly and they could not keep pace with it. (Author's files)
June 11, 1976 0105	FRANCE, near Romans: The witness' car stalled and the head lights went out. She then observed an orange domed disc approach the car. Her memory then blanked out until she arrived home two hours later than usual. Under hypnosis, it appears she was examined in the UFO by two three-foot humanoids. (CUFOS)
Aug. 6, 1976 1000	CANADA, Gaspesie, Quebec: Driving on a foggy day, a family's car was paced by a red "spotlight." Then the car lights and engine failed and the interior of the car became hotter. The witnesses got out and saw a huge oval object with windows. They could see strange entities inside with very large eyes. The object finally flew away. (UFO Occupants and Critters, John Musgrave)
Aug. 15, 1976 0145	AUSTRALIA, New Norfolk, Tasmania: Two teenagers saw a domed metallic disc which paced their car for some time. The car radio decreased in volume during the sighting. A yellow glow came from the bottom of the disc, which was always quite distant during the sighting. (ACUFOS)
Aug. 28, 1976	NORWAY, Malsjoen: A man sitting in a parked car with the motor running decided to start moving, but the car gave him trouble. He got out to investigate and saw a glowing square object coming down the side of a nearby mountain. It remained 30 meters from the ground and passed close to the witness. As it did so, he heard a cracking sound from the car's motor, and he thought he saw the outlines of a dark object around the light. The car could be restarted after the object was gone, but he later found that two of the sparkplugs had broken clean across. (MUFON Journal, February, 1980)
Sept. 17, 1976 0330	AUSTRALIA, Wingen, New South Wales: While enroute to a broken-down truck, a mechanic noticed his engine begin to lose power and the headlights go out. After he stopped by the side of the road (by which time the engine had stopped completely), he got out to see what was wrong. First he noticed that the speedometer was jumping from 0-40 kph even though the car was turned off. His flashlight wouldn't work either, and the magnet on its side wouldn't hold the flashlight to the metal. He then saw a light approaching from his left. After two minutes, it appeared as a roundish, very bright object moving in a straight line. It passed only 12 feet over the car and moved into the distance, giving off an intense blue glow. The engine then "turned over" a few times but didn't completely start, even though the ignition keys were not in. The headlights and radio came back on and he restarted the car. He had trouble with the car later and finally sold it. His watch had also stopped during the sighting. (ACUFOS)
Nov. 22, 1976 2330	U.S., Rockford, Michigan: A man observed an oblong, greenish-colored object about 60 feet in diameter descend towards the ground. It had a surrounding haze and a reddish-colored backside. He saw it for only four or five seconds until it moved behind some trees. There was interference on his car radio during the sighting. (CUFOS)
Dec. 26, 1976 1930	CANADA, near Whitehorse, Yukon: Two ambulance attendants saw two oval objects pacing their vehicle for some time. The objects were about two miles away and were observed intermittently as they passed behind the mountains. At one point in the sighting, the men had no control of the electrical system of the ambulance, including the lights and siren. The objects eventually moved out of view. (CUFOS)
Jan. 27, 1977 0105	U.S., Prospect, Kentucky: A teenaged boy spotted a rectangular, orangish-red object coming down to the car. His jeep's radio failed 15 seconds into the sighting. He felt compelled to watch the object, which stayed in the vicinity only a short time. However, under hypnosis, he related being taken inside the object and examined by three strange creatures that were shaped like machines. The electrical system on his jeep went haywire the day after the sighting. (CUFOS)
Feb. 4, 1977 0225	ENGLAND, Basford, Staffordshire: An automobile club patrolman sighted a luminous orange object at some distance from his car. His two-way radio had heavy static while the object was in view. There was simultaneous radio interference at the Stafford police headquarters. (NUFON News, 1977)
Mar. 9, 1977 0310	ENGLAND, Nelson, Lancashire: A cigar-shaped, metallic object appeared, so the two witnesses stopped their car for a better view. The UFO had lights on either end which were changing color and it was surrounded by a gray mist. The witnesses heard a sound like the tide coming in and out. As the object came very close, the engine stopped and the headlights dimmed. After five minutes, the object left and the car could be restarted. The witnesses both got headaches after the sighting. (FSR, Vol. 23, No. 2)
Mar. 13, 1977 2030	AUSTRALIA, near Mandurah, Western Australia: Two teenagers observed a globe of light moving in a straight line. Their car's engine died during the sighting, which lasted only a few seconds, but the headlights remained on. The object was bluish-white in color and vanished in the distance, still moving at a steady speed. The car's engine then could be restarted with no trouble. (ACUFOS)
Apr. 22, 1977 2345	AUSTRALIA, Adelaide, South Australia: A motorist saw a bright light low in the sky coming toward her car. The car lights and radio went off and the battery light came on, but after a few seconds, they both came back on. The witness, a 19-year-old girl , said the object traveled over her car in a straight line and continued into the distance. It was oval and gave off red, green, and yellow rays of light. The whole sighting lasted only one minute. (ACUFOS)
June 6, 1977 Night	ENGLAND, near Barnard Castle, Yorkshire: A 16-year-old motorcyclist saw two purple objects for 30 seconds alongside the road. A pinkish-purple object, shaped like an oval meat dish, suddenly appeared over his cycle and an approaching car. The engines of both vehicles began to lose power. The cyclist also felt increased heat and the cycle's metal was hot to the touch. Even though both engines stopped quickly, the vehicles were dragged at least 25 feet along the road. The object then suddenly disappeared. The next day, the brakes on the cycle were found to be abnormally worn. (FSR, Vol. 23, No. 5)
June 22, 1977 2130	SPAIN, Guia, Canary Islands: Three men in a taxi observed a gray-colored, perfect sphere which hovered a few meters above the ground. The taxi's radio stopped working and the witnesses felt very cold. Inside the sphere, which was transparent, they saw two humanoids about three meters tall, wearing reddish, tight-fitting clothing. The driver switched on a spotlight and pointed it at the object, which rose up about 30 feet and emitted a bluish gas. It then grew as large as a 20-story building, though the two humanoids and their control panels remained their original size. After a few minutes, the huge object flew away, giving off a whistling sound. People in a nearby house reported that their TV had stopped working during the sighting. (FSR, Vol. 23, No. 3)
About June 23, 1977 0515	SOUTH AFRICA, between Noupoort and Middelburg: A driver of a newspaper delivery van saw a dull glow at a quarry beside the road. A glowing phosphorescent UFO then came out of the quarry and hovered in front of the van as its engine and lights went out. After a few moments the UFO left, making a buzzing sound. The engine of the van started by itself, then stopped, then started again when the driver pressed the pedal. (MUFON Journal, September, 1977)
July 2, 1977 2300	AUSTRALIA, Kingston, Tasmania: An 18-year-old couple saw a reflection in their rearview mirror of a reddish-colored light. The engine of their car then lost power for 15-20 seconds, after which the light disappeared. The car came back to full power and they continued their trip. Several miles down the road the engine again lost power, but the couple could see nothing unusual. After a few seconds, the car worked perfectly again. (ACUFOS)
July 8, 1977 1845	U.S., Jessup, Maryland: A 66-year-old farmhand was operating a tractor when a round, silver-domed disc with green "windows" came over the field. He stayed on the tractor and watched the disc move erratically about the farm for 20-25 minutes. It never came lower than about 70 feet during this time. The disc eventually moved away slowly into the distance and the witness noticed the tractor had stalled, which was very unusual since it normally would idle for hours at a time. (CUFOS)
Dec. 7, 1977 1930	NEW ZEALAND, Tatapouri: A red, disc-shaped object came over land from the direction of the sea. It followed a car with three people inside. The headlights on the car dimmed but did not go out during the sighting, which ended when the UFO veered off into the sky. When the witnesses arrived home, they found the car's battery had no water in it, even though it had been serviced only two days before the sighting. (Spaceview, 1st quarter, 1978)
Dec. 17, 1977 1600	U.S., Kenyon, Rhode Island: An older woman in a pickup truck observed an "ovoid, plate-like" object and pulled off the road for a better look. Another car also drove up and that driver got out and watched, too. The object was three or four times the size of a B-29 in diameter and gave off a blue-white glow. It also had four or five windows and the bottom half was blurred, as if spinning. Both cars stalled out after several minutes when the object rose on its edge vertically, but then returned to its former position. After 10 minutes, the object rapidly moved to the west. The truck and car could be restarted immediately after they stalled out. One of the witnesses reported eye irritation after the sighting. (APRO Bulletin, July, 1978)
Dec. 30, 1977 0130	AUSTRALIA, near Keith, South Australia: A white, oval light about 27 feet in diameter paced a car 30 meters away. The two witnesses, brother and sister, reported that as they slowed the car to 8-15 kph, the engine began misfiring. They stopped then and the light continued on its course. After it was gone, the car could be started and driven with no difficulties. (UFO Research (S.A.) Newsletter, July-August, 1978)
Apr. 23, 1978 1930	U.S., Goleta, Calfornia: A car's engine suddenly slowed inexplicably as the speed of the car dropped from 55 to 35 mph. The motorist saw a bright light at the same instant the car slowed, which made a "zinging" sound. The radio also went off. The light then became less bright, revealing four revolving lights, two green and two blue, on some type of object. After about three minutes, the witness had driven out of sight of the object and she reported that the engine and radio worked normally. (CUFOS)
May 24, 1978 2115	U.S., Tuscaloosa, Alabama: Driving in the city, a 21-year-old college student saw a metallic object nearby. His car radio had a burst of static as he sighted the object, which was glowing yellow-white with blue, orange, green, and yellow lights rotating on its bottom. The driver continued to drive past the object and did not see how it departed or when. (CUFOS)
July 27, 1978 2245	U.S., Sheffield Village, Ohio: Three people observed a silver, banana-shaped object with red and blue flashing lights. The engine and headlights of their car went out as the object came close to the ground about 600 feet away. It made a wavering, humming sound and moved up and down near the ground for about 15 minutes, then flew away. The car could not be restarted for an hour and a half after the sighting. (IUR, September, 1978)
Aug. 24, 1978 2200	U.S., Ottumwa, Iowa: Ten miles south of Ottumwa, a 54-year-old woman saw a red or orange light fly from east to west in front of her car, a '72 Ford LTD. Her windshield fogged up and the engine failed. In a few seconds, the car restarted without her turning the key and the window defogged. The UFO, which appeared the size of the full moon, vanished behind some treetops. (IUR, December, 1978)
Aug. 24, 1978 2340	U.S., Ginghamsburg, Ohio: Two 19-year-old girls saw two orange lights, "prominent in the middle, faded at the ends." The car radio gave off a hum and the car wouldn't go faster than 20 mph. The two lights also gave off this humming sound. One of the lights shone a light beam on the witnesses for one second. The witnesses then looked away and didn't see the lights again when they looked back. The car continued to have engine trouble after the event. (IUR, December, 1978)
Aug. 30, 1978 2330	U.S., Nisula, Michigan: A cone-shaped object flew directly toward a pickup truck. The object had two red lights on top and bottom, and a white light in the middle. The driver of the truck reported that it stalled as the object flew fairly low, directly overhead. The truck did not have a history of engine trouble. As the object receded into the distance, the engine could be restarted. (IUR, December, 1978)
Sept. 26, 1978 0005	U.S., Strongsville, Ohio: A teenager observed a flattened disc-shaped object with a flat dome on top. It gave off a dim glow through openings around the edge. The driver stopped the car to watch. The object moved to her right, then back to her left. When it was directly in front of the car, her FM car radio had heavy static for 10-15 seconds and the headlights went out for one second. The object then flew away quickly. The engine of her '70 Dodge Challenger was never affected. (IUR, July, 1979)
Sept. 28, 1978 0200	U.S., Omaha, Nebraska: Driving north of Omaha, two people saw a cone-shaped object approach their car from the west. It had three bright, white lights on the bottom which seemed to be rotating. It then slowed and the witnesses passed by and lost sight of the object in under a minute. During the sighting, a pre-recorded cassette tape playing in the '69 VW's tape player became erased, even though the tape player had no provision for erasing tape. (IUR, July, 1979)
Nov. 9, 1978 0315	AUSTRALIA, Risdon Vale, Tasmania: While driving a taxi during a light rain, the driver saw a green shape drift out into the road ahead. It seemed to be a four-foot-tall triangle. As he quickly braked to avoid hitting it, the radio stopped working and he heard a high-pitched squeaking noise. The taxi stopped five meters from the triangle, and at that moment, it suddenly vanished. (TUFOIC)
Nov. 19, 1978 0330	ITALY: While trying out a CB radio in a car, the three witnesses heard a noise like a harvester or reaper. The CB radio then stopped working and the area around the car was illuminated by a red, glaring light. As they started to drive away, they noticed the car had moved 20 meters from where it had been parked and was pointing in the opposite direction. As they left, they observed a sphere traveling away in the distance as the red light faded. (IUR, September-October, 1979)
Nov. 22, 1978 1730	ENGLAND, Church Stowe, Weedon: A woman saw an egg-timer-shaped object with red and green lights on either end hovering low over the road ahead. She kept driving for half a mile, then the car's engine suddenly failed. She downshifted and the engine started, but 100 yards further, the headlights and engine both went off and the car became surrounded by "blackness." White circles of light one yard across circled the car at window level , then disappeared. The next moment the witness was driving in third gear, not recalling starting the car. When she arrived home, she found the trip took 10 minutes longer than usual. The sidelight on her car did not work before the sighting, but did work afterwards. (BUFORA Journal, April, 1979)
April, 1979 0020	AUSTRALIA, Gormanston Saddle, Tasmania: A taxi driver noticed a green light with purple edges hovering over some gravel by the road. It then came directly over the taxi, lighting up the interior. The taxi's engine lost power and the two-way radio wouldn't work for one minute. The light, which was three quarters of a meter in diameter, moved ahead of the car, then disappeared. The engine problem cleared up and he drove on to get his passenger. A flashing white light was seen in the eastern sky as he arrived at his destination. (ACOS BuIIetin, October, 1979)
Aug. 1, 1979 0135	U.S., Lewisboro, New York: A policeman saw a dull white ball of light flying over his car, about 700 feet in altitude. It appeared to be slightly larger than his car. He watched it for 70 seconds; twelve minutes later the ball of light appeared again, hovered, went north, and vanished in seconds. The two-way radio in the car and the portable radio wouldn't work during the second sighting. At least six other people in this area reported seeing a ball of light that night, one of whom reported static on her radio. (IUR, September October, 1979)
Aug. 12, 1979 2200	U.S., near Rolla, Missouri: Two teenaged brothers out practicing driving saw a red light and a blue light come over the car, revolving around each other. The boys head a whooshing sound as the lights passed over the car. They felt pressed against the seat and thought the car was floating. Their chests felt warm. The lights blended into a white light which disappeared in the western sky. On the trip home, there was heavy static on their AM radio and they couldn't hear the engine. The car seemed to be going very fast and steered with difficulty. They also had trouble speaking and breathing. After 10 minutes, their symptoms vanished. (IUR, September-October, 1979)
Aug. 27, 1979 0140	U.S., near Stephen, Minnesota: Ten miles west of Stephen, a 35-year-old policeman saw a light low to the ground on his left. It was hovering by a stand of trees. He drove toward it and at a distance of one and a half miles, it instantaneously accelerated and hit the car. The witness blacked out. When he awoke, he found the windshield broken, the antenna bent, and the car skidded sideways across the road. Both the car clock and his wristwatch were running 14 minutes slow. His eyes were irritated as if by welder's burn. Extensive investigation revealed no known phenomenon that could have produced the damage to his vehicle. (CUFOS)
