What\u2019s the intriguing tale behind Minnesota\u2019s \u2018UFO car\u2019?<\/p>\n
Submission Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1979, a peculiar incident near Warren left a deputy\u2019s squad car mysteriously damaged.<\/p>\n Visitors believe the cracked windshield and bent antennas of the amber Ford LTD squad car\u2014now permanently displayed at a museum in Warren, Minnesota\u2014are signs of an extraterrestrial encounter. This so-called \u201cUFO car\u201d attracts tourists from across the nation, with some traveling over 1,000 miles to see it at the Marshall County Historical Society museum in this small town near the North Dakota border. <\/p>\n \u201cPeople come from all over, and many express that the UFO car is the only thing they want to see. They take a look at the car and then continue on their way,\u201d remarked Kent Broten, president of the historical society. <\/p>\n Although the more than 40-year-old event that damaged the car of Deputy Sheriff Val Johnson wasn\u2019t mentioned in Elizondo\u2019s book, Newsweek recognized it as one of the most credible UFO sightings in modern history back in 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
