(19 March 1992), but it wasn’t his fault — Haines City police
cars are not equipped to catch UFO’s.
Before Thursday,
Delgado was unsure whether extraterrestrial craft existed. But after watching a
large green disc-shaped ship light up and shut down his patrol car, he is a skeptic
no more.
‘I consider it a
UFO, because as far as I know, we don’t have the technology for anyting like
that,’ Delgado said.
Delgado said he was
driving a police car north on 30th Street in southeastern Haines City at 3:52
Thursday morning when a bright green light came up behind his car. The vessel
hovered around his car, about 10
feet above the ground, for about one minute before
speeding away, he said.
Delgado said that
after he pulled onto the side of the road to avoid crashing into the object,
his car mysteriously shut off and his walkie-talkie stopped working.
‘I grabbed the radio
to talk, but everything went out. The (car) lights went out,’ he said. Haines
City Lt. Frank Caterino said Delgado passed physical and psychological tests
police administered to him after his sighting.”
