“The first, and most detailed report came from Mrs. Sam Raguindin of Chualar, Calif., who said the saucer ‘swooped down’ over her automobile as she and her mother and two children were driving south of Salinas.

She said she thought it was a meteor at first, but she changed her mind when the thing swooped down toward her car.”
