The truck stalled when it passed underneath the UFO. Mr. D. | | Adams then fired a .22 calibre pistol at it and heard a metallic ping | | as if the bullet bounced off the object. As the UFO moved away he | | fired six more shots with apparently no effect. His dogs barked | | incessantly during the close encounter.

It responded to signals made by the driver using the car | | headlights. There were independent witnesses.

The UFO stayed just ahead | | of the van and beamed a blue beam down onto the road. At the same | | time planes were seen circling the area. (Source: MUFON field | | investigation files, case #880501; Donald M. Ware, MUFON UFO Journal, | | August 1988, p. 6) | | | | 1992 - A jet aircraft tentatively identified as a U.S. Air Force F-14 | | Tomcat was seen pursuing a domed disc-shaped UFO in Lajas, Puerto | | Rico. The UFO would make multiple stops, and as the jet closed in the | | saucer split in half. The top half flew off toward the southwest and | | the other half flew off to the east. The F-14 jet remained circling | | in the area, and then flew off to the east.

A truck driver stopped to | | assist him when they both became aware of a UFO about 100 yards away. | | There looked to be humanoid figures dressed in white clothing moving | | around inside the craft. The object was circular and emitted an | | occasional flash of light. The truck driver walked closer to the | | object in order to get a better look. He suddenly ran back in fear | | yelling that they had to leave quick. Both men got into the truck and | | began speeding away. Shortly after the UFO silently passed over the | | truck and quickly flew out of sight. At the same time in Houston, | | Texas two witnesses reported seeing 10-13 amber-colored lights fly | | over in a V-shaped formation. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1997; case #3121, citing Mark Harman, UFO Times, | | issue #1; Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). | | | | 2003 - While driving home from work at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Marcus Warner | | saw a blue flashing light in his rear view mirror. He pulled to the | | side of the road in Pontypool, Gwent, Wales and stopped his car's | | engine. He was then approached by some men in black suits resembling | | businessmen or government agents. At this point his memory began to | | fail, but he recalls one of the men leading him to an open area near | | the local "Burtons Biscuit Factory." He then had a feeling of | | weightlessness and an intense feeling of calm. He remembered seeing a | | formation of figures, arranged into a ten pin bowling formation. He | | has a recurring image of a needle piercing his left eye. He has no | | recollection of driving the rest of the way home, but arrived there | | somehow. He has not, to date, undergone hypnosis in an attempt to | | recover the events that occurred during his amnesia. (Source: Albert | | S.
