Close encounter with a an unidentified craft and its occupants. One multi-colored domed disc, about 80 feet across, was observed by one male witness on a highway for over three minutes. 12 humanoids, each wearing a white coverall, were seen.

An unidentified youth, driving on Route 18 approximately 13 miles south of Gaffney, saw a domed UFO sitting on the highway ahead, supported by three legs and flashing various colored lights. Thinking at first it was an accident, he slowed his car. Standing around the object were about a dozen "men" of normal height, dressed in white coveralls; they wore gloves, and their heads were bare. Each had "jet-black" hair and faces "the color of Caucasians." On the uniforms were belts, buckles and buttons and the beings stood in place as the car approached, those facing another direction turning slowly to observe the witness car. They appeared to the witness to be seen through something similar to invisible waves of heat, appearing to "sort of wiggle like a worm." The lights on the object were all colors and the object itself glowed a darkish yellow, the color of an incandescent bulb. On a side away from the witness he observed what appeared to be stairs that seemed to be affixed to a door that swung downward. He said he would have driven under the object had the men not been standing in the spot; the object was large enough to span the highway so that no car could have passed around it. The youth suddenly became frightened and quickly turned onto a secondary road just this side of the object, and sped away. A later visit to the site disclosed no traces of the object's landing.
