Valeriano Verdugo accompanied by his wife and young son were traveling by truck along an isolated stretch of highway when they noticed a strange man on the side of the road that appeared to be hitching a ride. The man wore a large straw hat, large white gloves and was carrying a "very modern" briefcase, the type never seen before by the witnesses. The man was described as about 40-years old, short, well built and wearing a dark coat. The witness was somewhat perplexed as to the reason why he had stopped to pick up the man, somehow he felt compelled to do so. The stranger sat in the vehicle and took off his hat. During the trip he engaged in conversation, bringing up different topics. When questioned, his answers were short and evasive. Verdugo felt nervous during the trip but was not frightened. During the entire journey, three unexplained red-yellow lights appeared to pace the witness's truck. These lights apparently disappeared the moment the stranger exited the truck. At one point Verdugo attempted to bring up the subject of UFOs in the conversation, but the stranger seemed disinterested and denied any knowledge of the subject. The stranger finally asked to be let out in a wooded area near a little town called La Reforma. The area was completely desolate and wooded. Later as Verdugo stopped for a barbeque further down the road he saw the same red-yellow lights disappear in the distance towards the south.
