Description (In Witness's Own Words): In September 1974, I applied for emergency leave to drive to Alabama
to bring my wife and older son home to California. The evening I
left San Diego, I drove east past El Cajon and was following what
seemed like the quickest path on State Highway 10, now I-10. I
arrived in Phoenix, Arizona just before midnight and proceeded to
fuel my car. Once that was done, I again headed East on highway 10.
Approximately 5 miles after getting on the highway, I noticed a
bright light positioned at about the 3 "o" clock position above the
horizon, north and east of my position. I left Phoenix right at 12
am in the morning. By now from my previous event, I am pretty
spooked by lights in the sky of any kind. I kept trying to focus on
my driving, but found myself somewhat pre-occupied with this strange
light. It kind of looked like an automobile with it's head lights on
high beam positioned on a small mesa, about 3 miles from my
position. It's like I just blinked my eyes, and out of the corner of
my eye I see what appears to be a city limit sign going by. I missed
the name, but felt somewhat disoriented, continued to the next off
ramp. There is the name Gila Bend. At this point I pulled my car
over to side of the road, wondering what is going on. I look at my
watch and it is now a little after 5:30 am in the morning, I am in
Gila Bend, Arizona and my last conscious thought is of the light, at
12:10 am outside Phoenix, Arizona. I couldn't believe I had
driven over 200 miles and not remembered having done so. I
know you've heard of this stuff before, really have you heard this
one. I check my gas gauge and it read full. Not
believing what I was seeing, I drove to the nearest gas station and
proceeded to fill the tank. It took less than 1/2 of one
gallon to fill the tank. I have never before or since been
able to equal gas mileage like that, although I wish I could. End of
Story - Not Quite To this day, I have had NO CONSCIOUS MEMORIES of the event.
Investigator's Notes: This is the
second sighting that I have received from this witness. This
experience is intriguing given that the witness lost 5 hours of time
after sighting the light and then did not use any gas in the nearly
200 mile trip. What really happened? I plan to conduct
some more interviews with this witness. He is still shaken
from this and other experiences that he says that he has had.
