Valeriano Verdugo, accompanied by his wife and young son, was driving a truck along an isolated stretch of highway when they noticed a strange man on the side of the road who appeared to be hitchhiking. 

The man was wearing a large straw hat, large white gloves and carrying a" very modern " briefcase that witnesses had never seen before. The man was about 40 years old, short, well-built, and wore a dark coat. 

The witness was somewhat puzzled as to why he stopped to pick up the man, he somehow felt compelled to do so. 

The stranger got into the car and took off his hat. During the trip, he talked, raising various topics. His answers to questions were brief and evasive. Verdugo was nervous during the ride, but not afraid. 

Throughout the journey, three unexplained red and yellow lights moved over the witness's truck. These lights apparently disappeared the moment the stranger got out of the truck. 

At one point, Verdugo tried to bring up the subject of UFOs in conversation, but the stranger seemed uninterested and denied any knowledge of the subject. In the end, the stranger asked to be released in a wooded area near the town of La Reforma. The area was completely deserted and wooded. Later, when Verdugo stopped for a barbecue further down the road, he saw the same red and yellow lights disappear in the distance to the South.

Summary: Valeriano Verdugo accompanied by his wife and young son were traveling by truck along an isolated stretch of highway when they noticed a strange man on the side of the road that appeared to be hitching a ride. The man wore a large straw hat, large white gloves and was carrying a “very modern” briefcase, the type never seen before by the witnesses. The man was described as about 40-years old, short, well built and wearing a dark coat. The witness was somewhat perplexed as to the reason why he had stopped to pick up the man, somehow he felt compelled to do so. The stranger sat in the vehicle and took off his hat. During the trip he engaged in conversation, bringing up different topics. When questioned, his answers were short and evasive. Verdugo felt nervous during the trip but was not frightened. During the entire journey, three unexplained red-yellow lights appeared to pace the witness’s truck. These lights apparently disappeared the moment the stranger exited the truck. At one point Verdugo attempted to bring up the subject of UFOs in the conversation, but the stranger seemed disinterested and denied any knowledge of the subject. The stranger finally asked to be let out in a wooded area near a little town called La Reforma. The area was completely desolate and wooded. Later as Verdugo stopped for a barbeque further down the road he saw the same red-yellow lights disappear in the distance towards the south.
