The Deputy was driving with his family when an object started approaching the car. The Deputy immediately stopped the car and turned off the lights.

The object was the size of a semi-truck and had rotating headlights of different colors. There was a bright light in the center of the object.

When the object approached the car, the police officer felt that "he was trying to catch us" and tried to turn the car around. When he couldn't turn onto the narrow road, he started backing away from the UFO.

After walking almost a mile, he reached a point where he could turn around.

By this time, the object was about 100 yards (90 m) from the car and about 10 feet (3 m) from the ground. When the officer tried to turn his car, the UFO disappeared from view.

Later, the witness returned home and got into a truck to search for UFOs away from the main roads. Upon returning to the valley where he first saw the UFO, the "bright light" quickly rose and soon disappeared from view.
