“A western Oklahoma
‘We were watching one of them up in the air and everywhere we would go,
it would go,’ Erick Patrolman John Roberts reported. ‘Then I looked in the rear
view mirror and there was another one. It had landed on the road about 500 yards behind us.’
Roberts said he and his companions, Freddie Ross and Preston Crosby,
both 17 and Erick residents, tried to approach the UFO that landed but it
disappeared.
‘Just as we turned around, it was just like somebody had switched off a
light switch,’ he said. ‘It was gone.’
The other UFO remained in view about 45 minutes, he said.
‘The one that stayed up was like a bright red and was a sort of
pulsating light,’ Roberts said. ‘It would get real bright and then go dim and
then bright again. It finally turned a sort of burnt orange.
‘The one I saw in the rear view mirror was a real brilliant blue and it
had a constant glow. It was so bright we couldn’t make out any shape to it.’
Roberts said he was on patrol when two youths called his attention to
the light in the sky.
‘The one we watched the longest would sort of dart in and out when we
moved,’ he said. ‘When we would go toward it, then it would move away. When we
went the other way, it was right with us.
‘Sometimes it would zig-zag out in front of us and dart around. Finally
it just got a way off and disappeared.’
Roberts said the movements of the objects were ‘too sharp’ for them to
have been helicopters of airplanes.
‘I can’t explain what they were but I am convinced there is some sort of
UFOs out there,’ he said. ‘I couldn’t believe anything else after what I saw
this morning.’ ”

My comment:
A similar UFO incident that also involved police officers occurred in Brownsville , Texas
The UFO followed the car for 32 kilometres (20 miles ). When the driver
stopped the car, the unknown object also would stop and when the car speeded
up, the unknown object followed suit.
