In last week’s blog, we looked at a UFO encounter in Kentucky reported by three women, Louise Smith, Mona Stafford, and Elaine Thomas. According to them, they saw a craft that shone a blue light into their car and seemingly took control of it.

Labs have been employed in testing and claims have been made that the results support a non-earthly origin for the material in question.
