Edmona Toews & Nuria Hanson were driving home to Anchorage, Alaska by the Alcan Highway, and were on Steamboat Mountain when they saw a bright light across the valley. Another light appeared above it & descended with an oscillating movement, becoming 3 times the size of the full moon before shooting back up again. The light on the mountainside was seen to be hat shaped with a row of yellow luminescent portholes; they estimated it as 90 ft in diameter. They parked and watched for 45 minutes as the grounded object became orange luminescent and moved about 100-150 ft, while the aerial object 3 times approached it & then zoomed back into the sky. Not long after they had started north again, Edmona noticed that the car was driving itself—her efforts to guide it or to accelerate were fruitless, and the car proceeded at 25 mph. During this period it apparently used no gasoline. Noticing a shadow on the road ahead of them, they rolled down the windows and looked up, to see a fluffy white cloud 20-30 ft above the car, casting a shadow from a light source above it. This was evidently what was controlling the car. When they arrived at Muncho Lake Lodge, 100 miles beyond where they had seen the UFOs, they found it closed, but a dark haired, bearded young man walked up and asked for a ride to the next lodge, 80 miles further on. He seemed lightly dressed as the temperature was near zero. As the back seat was full of luggage, he said he would sit on Nuria’s lap. He gave his name as “Gordon.” They started north again, and Nuria noticed that the young man was weightless. He then sat between the 2 front seats, but Edmona observed that he actually sat in the air, with his rear and several inches above the surface. A moving light, below treetop level, was again seen. The young man asked them if they believed in flying saucers, and also questioned them about angels. When they arrived at Fireside Inn about 0400A, Gordon got out and simply disappeared. There was fresh snow on the ground, and there were no tracks on it. It was not until they had driven all the next day, and had arrived at Watson Lake, that the strangeness of what had happened finally penetrated to them. Edmona realized that “Gordon” had resembled her husband Jim, whose middle name is Gordon. On the next day they noticed that snow was falling everywhere except in front of the car, where the road was dry. They looked up and saw that the cloud was again above them. It stayed with them also on the 21st, and after dark a light paced the car. Just before they arrived at Edmona’s home in Anchorage, the light blinked on & off 3 times, described a huge arc, and departed.
