Linda and a friend, Betty, were driving a car just outside of Lubbock when they both noticed a bright light in the sky, Betty, who was driving began to try to follow it as it moved slowly at first, then more rapidly as they pulled off the highway onto a county road closing with their car until it stopped about forty feet away and ten to twenty feet above the ground. Linda said that it had an extremely bright rotating red light on top with a bank of light, about four, around the mid-section. Betty began to blink her headlights on and off and the "spacecraft" responded by blinking the white lights. At one point the witnesses noticed what appeared to be human-like figures inside some porthole windows, but no features could be seen. One thing that seemed puzzling to Linda about the encounter was than even though they were on a county road, it was fairly well traveled and she said at least seven or eight cars passed them, seeming not to notice what was going on. After approximate five to ten minutes the UFO rose and began to move away, seeming to suddenly disappear.
