Two businessmen and their wives have a close encounter in the late night on an open country road.

An unidentified object at close range (with physical effects) was observed by four witnesses for five minutes.

Hynek reported: The car in which four persons were riding was mysteriously stopped, and the lights and radio became inoperable during the short interlude during which a brilliantly lighted object hovered just ahead of the car. The policeman to whom the report was later made stated: "All four of the people in the car appeared to be badly scared. The driver of the car did most of the talking. The two men were in the front seat, and the women were in the back." The other male was said to be in such a state that he "just couldn't make his words come out." It was reported that his voice quivered and that he trembled noticeably.

While object was near, driver said the car wouldn't accelerate -- lost power and sputtered "like it wasn't getting enough juice." When the object appeared closest to them, it was no longer bright but "a clear and well defined lens-shaped object with a dull light amber color --- like a traffic caution light, only more pale in color." I don't think that anybody could possibly have staged the facial expressions and fear that those people showed.


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