UFO Terrorizes Australian Family
This is the only case suggestive of the sucking up of a vehicle by a UFO without it being a hoax. A little before sunrise on January 21, 1988 the Knowles family was driving along the Eyre Highway in southern Australia. After making a swerve so as to avoid colliding with a first UFO which was in position above the highway the Knowles passed a car over which was flying a second UFO.
Return To View Unknown Not Wise Decision
The son, who was driving, decided to turn around and to begin a chase. Having caught up again with the vehicle, still with the UFO flying above it, he realized that this UFO was now flying in his direction, with the result that he turned round again and accelerated away. The Knowles were now traveling at more than 100 miles per hour in their attempt to escape from the UFO.
Escape Attempt Proves Futile
The UFO caught up with them and came down hard on top of the car with a dull thud. One can reasonably think that the UFO was exerting at that moment a magnetic field of sufficient intensity to magnetize the roof of the car and stick to it. Inside the vehicle the passengers seemed to be speaking in slow motion and one of the three sons had the impression that his brain was being removed from his head.
Efforts To Leave Highway Unsuccessful
The driver tried to leave the road but the steering seemed to be jammed, as if the UFO was forcing the magnetized vehicle to continue in a straight line. It was then that the car rose up before falling back down heavily.
Car Tire Becomes Casualty
The rear tire on the right hand side burst on impact with the asphalt. The driver then regained control of the steering and succeeded in stabilizing the vehicle and bringing it to a standstill. There were no victims in this incident.
Family Member Actually Touches UFO
Faye Knowles had the time to lower her window and look at this shining white light, yellow at the center, and to touch the underside, which felt like a hot sponge. After these events, a bump remained behind on the roof of the car.
Strange Dust Residue Undergoes Analysis
Analysis of the dust found there showed the presence of oxygen, carbon, calcium, silicon, potassium, and perhaps also of astate, a radioactive element of synthetic origin. The witnesses, who did not maintain their anonymity, were broadly ridiculed by the Australian media.
