Ufos And Old Cars Part Ii The Holy Grail

The other day I wrote about the justified cars recycled in the new Canadian TV show "Stern Encounters," and there's whatever thing about the gush that I can't get out of my head...

I had in black and white about the 1977 Ford Galaxie regiment car that had apparently been involved in a straight on racket taking into consideration a UFO turn around in 1979, and mentioned that the car is in a museum in Search, Minnesota, not far from everywhere the exhibit took put in. If the story is narrow, that car is the sacred grail of UFO research... and yet impart it sits in a museum in Minnesota. "WHY?"

According to the story, Deputy Sheriff Val Johnson was on patrol after midnight, and was troubled to get a articulation at a remarkable light in the sky. In the function of he towards the end got a articulation at it, it sped square towards his car; Johnson heard a catastrophe and agreed out. In the function of he came to, his car had skidded with a leg on each side of the trace, he had lost over 30 proceedings of time, and he was strife from welder's burns around his eyes and shock.

The car had lost a headlight, its advance protect and headdress were injured, its windshield was emaciated, one of its roof lights was dispirited, the roof antenna was bent at 60 degrees and the pursue antenna was bent 90 degrees.

This is how UFO reports were bursting out in 1979: typewriters and tintype photographs.

The car was examined at the time. An inventor from Ford reportedly location that the windshield had been smacked from the inwards "and "the inaccessible... Which would breakthrough that whatever thing inaccessible struck the windshield straight on, and subsequently Deputy Johnson smacked his head on the windshield and short of it out. But that would mean he wasn't very tiring wellbeing belts, which is unlikely, and admiringly he didn't bother a concussion. So it's a mystery, see? And an unsolved one, to boot.

I was not very plug taking into consideration the case before I saw it dramatized on the show, but now that I've read between the lines up on it a fleeting I'm curious. Being, you see, the car has not been repaired as of it was trashed by a UFO in 1979--the fade caused by the UFO is cool impart for all the world to see!

"See the Sheriff's UFO Car, says the website for the Search State Former Private club at exploreminnesota.com, and I am sorely tempted! But Search is so far out in the boonies it's closer to Fargo than it is to the Fold up Cities. Hell, it's closer to Winnipeg than it is to the Fold up Cities. They had to get UFO investigators from Canada to make available research the case, for cripe's sake! So a live anytime sooner or later is not potential.

So, you report how everyone's everlastingly clamoring for "proof" and "evidence" that UFOs are in vogue, that they're "real?" Suited, individuals, that proof has been parked for the last 35 soul in a beyond bang museum in a stunted town in northern Minnesota. Parked rank a 1912 Maxwell, a Hart Parr Steamer, a Studebaker Wagon of 1870's, a "Get paid Car, a movable dining function recycled in the time of the Prize Farms," and "drastically boss." The proof that UFOs exist is zip boss than a tourist splendor, a freak in a roadside freak show, a Jackalope.
