Initial data
An unidentified young man driving along highway 18 about 13 miles South of Gaffney saw a domed UFO on the highway ahead, supported by three legs and flashing colored lights.
At first thinking it was an accident, he slowed down the speed of his car. About a dozen "men" of normal height, dressed in white jumpsuits, were standing around the object. They were wearing gloves and their heads were bare. Each had "coal-black" hair and faces "the color of a European race."
The uniforms had belts, buckles, and buttons, and the creatures stood still as the car approached, while those looking in the other direction slowly turned to watch the witness's car.
The witness thought they were visible through what looked like invisible heat waves that seemed to"sort of sway like worms."
The light on the object was all colors, and the object itself glowed dark yellow, the color of an incandescent lamp. To the side of the witness, he noticed what looked like a ladder that seemed to be attached to a door that opened down. He said that he would have driven under the object if people were not standing still.
The object was large enough to cross the highway so that no car could avoid it.
The young man suddenly got scared, quickly turned into a secondary road on this side of the object and sped away.
A later visit to the site found no evidence of the object landing.

Summary: An unidentified youth, driving on Route 18 approximately 13 miles south of Gaffney, saw a domed UFO sitting on the highway ahead, supported by three legs and flashing various colored lights. Thinking at first it was an accident, he slowed his car. Standing around the object were about a dozen “men” of normal height, dressed in white coveralls; they wore gloves, and their heads were bare. Each had “jet-black” hair and faces “the color of Caucasians.” On the uniforms were belts, buckles and buttons and the beings stood in place as the car approached, those facing another direction turning slowly to observe the witness car. They appeared to the witness to be seen through something similar to invisible waves of heat, appearing to “sort of wiggle like a worm.” The lights on the object were all colors and the object itself glowed a darkish yellow, the color of an incandescent bulb. On a side away from the witness he observed what appeared to be stairs that seemed to be affixed to a door that swung downward. He said he would have driven under the object had the men not been standing in the spot; the object was large enough to span the highway so that no car could have passed around it. The youth suddenly became frightened and quickly turned onto a secondary road just this side of the object, and sped away. A later visit to the site disclosed no traces of the object’s landing.
