Deputy Sheriff Missing Time In North Dakota

Clocks 14 Minutes Slow:

Another unexplainable fact was that Johnson’s wristwatch was, although still running properly, 14 minutes slow. Also, the clock in his vehicle was also 14 minutes behind. The car’s radio and Johnson’s wristwatch were always synchronized with the official police station time. No explanation could be found for the missing time. Also, beginning at about 6 inches above the base, his car’s police antenna was bent at a 60-degree angle. Also there was unexplainable damage to the trunk antenna.  All of the damage to Johnson’s 1977 Ford LTD was to the driver’s side. The investigation determined that the police cruiser had traveled 950 feet from the initial impact. The Sheriff’s Department could not determine what happened to the vehicle, and theories like being hit by a low-flying plane, or another vehicle, or even a hoax were quickly ruled out. The Center for UFO Studies also made an on-site investigation, along with officials from the Ford Motor Company.

Mechanical Forces of Unknown Origin:

 No one could offer a tenable explanation for the damage, and the damage to the windshield was the most bizarre. Meridan French, from Ford, noted after examining the windshield fractures that “Even after several days of reflection on the crack patterns and apparent sequence of fractures, I still have no explanation for what seem to be inward and outward forces acting almost simultaneously. I can only [conclude]… that all cracks were from mechanical forces of unknown origin.”  The incredible sequence of events on August 27, 1979 in Marshall County, Minnesota mark one of the best documented cases of physical trace evidence left by an encounter with an unknown flying object. The incident was investigated by three separate organizations and no hint of a hoax, or an explanation of natural means was forthcoming.    NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
