Lake City, Utah)
The article reports on a 1967
Southern Colorado UFO flap:
Quote from the article:
“Ben Kin, employed at the Sand
Dunes National Monument, told his story:
He was driving on the King
Ranch, near the foot of Mount Blanca, when an object emerged from behind rocks
and began following his car. It was shaped like a football and garish light
from the strange object lighted the interior of his car.
The UFO stayed about 150 feet in the air and 150 feet from his car. It
followed him for about a mile, stopping when he stopped.
Two other persons reported
seeing a similar object the same night.
Mrs. Charles Blundell, an
artist whose husband is a ranger at the Sand Dunes, has painted a picture of an
object she said she saw over the Dunes.
