What\u2019s the story behind Minnesota\u2019s \u2018UFO car\u2019?<\/p>\n
Submission Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n A peculiar incident from 1979 near Warren left a deputy’s squad car mysteriously damaged.<\/p>\n The cracked windshield and bent antennas of an amber-colored Ford LTD, now permanently displayed at the Marshall County Historical Society museum in Warren, Minnesota, are seen by many as evidence of an extraterrestrial encounter. Dubbed the \u201cUFO car,\u201d it attracts visitors from across the country, with some traveling over 1,000 miles to see it near the North Dakota border. <\/p>\n \u201cPeople come from all over just to see the car. It’s often the only thing they want to check out before heading out,\u201d shared Kent Broten, president of the society.<\/p>\n Although the more than four-decade-old incident involving Deputy Sheriff Val Johnson’s car wasn\u2019t highlighted in Elizondo\u2019s book, Newsweek included it in a list of the most credible UFO encounters in modern history back in 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
