NUFORC.org UFO case report:
“Large white light traversing tundra that approached
myself and friend.
While working as a truck driver on the Trans Alaskan
Pipeline construction north of the Prospect Creek construction camp my
assistant and I were on break reading by the interior light of our truck. We
were about one half mile from a group of about forty workers putting support
members in the ground for the pipeline. My partner pointed out a bright light
on a mountain directly across from us about 40 miles away. As we watched
the light it appeared to ‘step’ down in four moves to the bottom of the
mountain. It then came towards us accross the treeless tundra (light got larger
than the moon which was visible), stopped, and went back to just a bit to the
right of the original mountain site. The light did this three more times (about
three seconds each trip) as if searching the tundra. As the light came closer
the last time, I turned on the spotlight and directed it towards the light. It
approached us coming to about a quarter mile away and slowly came closer. The
light was then about three times the size of the moon. As it was getting closer
we got scared, shut off the spotlight and sped off down the haul road. We could
see the light at its present size accompanying us on our left side the two
miles to the construction camp. We slid in to the warm-up shack and ran inside
where there were about ten men on break. We all went outside to see what it was
but it was gone. The next morning at breakfast it was found that many people
had seen this ‘light’ and truckers coming up the haul road could see a large
red light on the back of the craft. No description of the body of this craft
was given because of the darkness. I was transferred to another camp a couple
of days later but was told that many people were interviewed by Air Force
representatives from Eilson (Eielson) AFB in Fairbanks. I have always wondered
if this event was recorded anywhere as it made a firm believer out of me.”
The UFO incident occurred north of Prospect Creek (at
the Trans-Alaska Pipeline), Alaska, on
11 January 1976, at 11:00 p.m.:
