Object, described as oval, five meters long, three meters high, army green in color, set a truck on fire. It bore lettering beginning with the letters UN.

Haskell Raper, Jr, was driving home on a rainy night when he saw a large, lighted object on the road ahead, which he thought was a truck. Suddenly the object flashed a beam of light directly at the car, apparently exerting a strong pressure and slowing it to a stop five meters away. The object was then described as oval, five meters long, three meters high, army green in color. It bore lettering beginning with the letters UN, followed by some numbers. A sort of heat wave filled the car, and the witness ran out in panic as the vehicle caught fire. The object rose with the sound of a diesel engine. Raper ran to the town, less than two kilometers away; and reported the incident. The car, a 1956 Ford, was completely destroyed.


An object was observed. Gravity effects were noted.

One green oval object, about 20 feet across, was observed by one male witness on a highway.


Hynek rating: CE2: Close Encounters of the Second Kind
Vallee rating: CE2: A CE1 that leaves landing traces or injuries to the witness.
