Provencal (Louisiana) — 1957 (2300)
Haskell Raper, Jr, was driv- ing 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 5 m away. The object was then described as oval, 5 m long, 3 m 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 dicsel engine. Raper ran to the town, less than 2 km away. and reported the incident. The car. a 1956 Ford, was completely destroyed. (FS Oct., 58)
