1977 - A cigar-shaped, metallic object appeared in the sky over
Nelson, Lancashire, England at 3:10 a.m., so the two witnesses
stopped their car for a better look. The UFO had lights at either end
that were changing color and the entire object was surrounded by a gray
mist. The witnesses heard a sound they described as being like the tide
coming in and going out. As the object came quite close, their car's engine
stopped and the headlights dimmed. After five minutes, the object flew
off and the car could be restarted. Both of the witnesses came down with
headaches shortly after the sighting. (FSR, Vol. 23, No. 2)

in their car on a highway south of Fortaleza, Brazil. The domed
disc emitted heat and made a humming sound. It left, returned, left again,
then returned a second time and dropped a transparent two-meter wide ball
that blew up in front of their car, only six feet away. They believe the
UFO intended to harm them. (Sources: Jerome Clark, UFO Calendar 1999;
