Electromagnetic effects were noted. Witness reported that a period of time could not be accounted for. One multi-colored cone-shaped object was observed by one witness on a road for three hours (Vidal). No sound was heard.

Mr. And Mrs. Henry Vidal and their 5-year old son were en route to Culiacan when they saw a bright object approaching at high speed. Glowing different colors, it appeared to hover silently ahead of the car, which had slowed down to a crawl, despite all attempts by Mr. Vidal to speed up. The object was cone-shaped and the bottom appeared to rotate rapidly, "like a drill." It was so large that it filled most of their windshield. It remained in position near their slowly moving car for what they thought was 15 minutes, and then rapidly disappeared from view. They were two and a half hours from Culiacan; however, they did not reach the town until 0700A, thereby having lost from two to two and a half hours en route, which could not be accounted for. After their return to Santa Ana, Mrs. Vidal began to have a series of nightmares in which she seemed to be abducted by a UFO; another dream involved her being lifted from her bed by a group of shadowy, small entities, using some bright fluorescent light. Her husband, awakened by her cries, in turn awakened by his wife; she appeared to have scratches on her arms and legs, for which she could not account.
