Initial data

Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness
Incident date: 
08.08.1972
Location: 
ЛаПорте, TX
United States

The witness first realized that his front wing was falling off before he saw the UFO on August 8, 1972. 

"I was in my car in the left lane of two - driving at 55 mph - when all of a sudden my left front fender dropped and hit the bottom, and then my car was pushed sideways into the right lane." 

The terrified driver said he reacted by turning the steering wheel left when he heard the sounds of tires screeching. 

"When I realized I was pushed, I looked in the rearview mirror and couldn't figure out what I was looking at." 

The witness said his entire car was pushed into the next lane:

"I saw a clear or transparent 20-foot ball in the middle part that swayed and distorted the landscape behind it with a 4-foot (1.2 m) high and 3-foot (0.9 m) wide, egg-shaped ... the sphere inside it was only a few feet higher than the middle. 

Inside the inner sphere were large, bright, slowly moving electric bolts that were like "spaghetti" together. As soon as the transparent ball stopped moving, everything became transparent or invisible." 

The witness described the UFO as a transparent or transparent ball.

Summary: The witness first realized that his front fender was falling off on August 8, 1972, before seeing the UFO. “I was in my car in the left lane of two – traveling at 55 mph – when suddenly my left front fender dropped down and bottomed out and then my car was pushed perfectly sideways into the right lane.” The startled driver said he reacted with a left turn of the steering wheel while he heard the sounds of tires screeching. “When I realized I had been pushed, I looked into the rear view mirror and could not understand what I was looking at.” The witness said that his entire vehicle was pushed into the adjacent lane.“I saw a clear or transparent 20-foot orb in the median that was rippling and distorting scenery behind it with a 4-foot tall and 3-foot wide, egg-shaped sphere inside just a few feet above median. Inside of the inner sphere were large, bright, slow wiggling electrical bolts ‘spaghettied’ together. As soon as the clear orb stopped wiggling everything was transparent or invisible.” The witness described the UFO as a clear or transparent orb.
