We all know that there are plenty of credible UFO sightings out there, with plenty of credible witnesses. The sighting mentioned in this story is not one of them:
This is not your father’s UFO. Or maybe it is?
A NORTHERN Territory woman claims she was cut off by two alien beings in a spaceship shaped like a Ford station wagon – before it took off surrounded by green, blue and red flames.
It was just one of the stories to come out after ABC morning show presenter Leon Compton opened up the airwaves to UFO believers, according to the Northern Territory News.
Betty from Alice Springs said her close encounter occurred in 1969.
She was driving 20km south of Aileron towards Alice Springs at 4am with her six-year-old daughter when they saw the vehicle “flying alongside us”.
“We saw these two figures inside this thing. It looked like a Ford station wagon, with the windows,” Betty said.
“It came in front of us really quickly.”
Her daughter then said: “There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“I said, ‘Why did you say that?
“She said, ‘I don’t know, it just came out of my mouth’.
“And as I was talking, the whole think took off like a shot out of a gun … And then there was all this green and blue and red flames or lights all around it.
“I’ll never forget it.”
I’m not quite sure why this woman was out driving at 4am with her six-year-old daughter. But that’s a completely different issue. I’ve looked through my archives, and I can’t find a single report of a UFO with wood panel siding. Maybe some teenage alien had his dad’s UFO out for a joy ride. Or maybe it was just the ’60s, this woman was high on something, tired because it was 4am, and just saw a Ford station wagon and hallucinated the rest? Hmmm, which explanation could it be?
