Friday night they were re-

night. You could see for miles

Suddenly they saw a strange

alongside the road.

"It hovered in the air. It was
eerie," they said. "It was shaped
inke a triangle--200 feet long and

light illuminated the ground directly underneath it and the area in front of
it, including the highway and the interior of our patrol car. The tall grass
under the object did not appear to be disturbed. There was a bright moon
out and it cast a shadow of the object on the ground immediately below it in
the grass. Deputy Sheriff Goode was in the driver's seat with his left arm
laying in the open Although he was wearing a long sleeved shirt and
a coat, he later said that he felt the heat apparently emanating from the
object. We immediately put the ca in motion and headed toward Damon as fast
as we could go. While traveling a speeds up to 110 mph, toward Damon, I
continued to watch the object f the back window of the car. It appeared
to remain in the same position approximately ten seconds and then move
off in the direction where w first saw it at a very high speed. There was
.at appre ximately its original position, went straight in the air and dis-
appeared above rizon.
When we got to Damon, we drove slowly through the town, discussed what
we saw, and decided t to go back to the area and see if the object was still
there. We were both scared but still wanted to find out what it was. We
decided t to take the old Damon-West Columbia road which would put us closer to
the area where we first saw it. However, we traveled the full length of this
road until we turned off to go back on Highway 36 and we didn't see anything.

Fron: an examination of recent fear reports, it appears that
skeptics are the quickest to panic-people who have accepted of-
ficial denials of UFOs' existence. One such case involved two
Texas lawmen, both graduates of police schools-Chief Deputy
B. E. McCoy and Patrol Deputy Robert Goode, of Angleton.
By coincidence, this incident occurredonSept. 3, the same night
as the Exeter Scare. following details are from the officers'
gned report to NICA and a signed copy of their statement to an
AF investigator, Maj. Laurence R. Leach. Jr., 2578 Air Base
Squadron. Ellington AFB, Texas.
After midnight, near Damon in Brazoria County, the two sheriffs
sighted an enormous flying object from their patrol car. In the
bright moonlight, they could see it was about 200 feet long, 40-50
feet thick at the center, tapering at both ends. It had a brilliant
purple light at one end, fainter blue one at the other.
Sheriff Goode turned the patrol car around, drove back three-
fourths of a mile and stopped. As they were watching through
binoculars, the strange craft came down to 100 feet, heading
rapidly toward the lighted police car. In the moonlight, the UFO
cast a huge shadow on the ground, and officers could see it
moving swiftly toward the highway.
Fifty Yards Away
As it neared them, the briiliant purple light illuminated the
ground and the inside of the car. Sheriff Goode, leaning out the
driver's side, suddenly felt heat from the approaching UFO. He
hastily started the engine. By this time the huge flying object was
barely 50 vards away.
With understandable panic, the sheriffs fled.
…We were traveling at speeds up to 110 miles an hour," McCoy
told the AF.
when they reached Damon, the lawmen calmed down and decided
to go back.
We were both scared,"McCoy frankly admits. "But we wanted
to find out what it was."
But when they returned to the area, the UFO's lights began to
shiit just as they hadbefore its swift ipproach. Again, the sheriffs
raced away.
We firured the object would start coming toward us again,
MeCoy said in his AF statement. In describing the UFO, he said
the body appeared dark gray. There was no sound, nor any trail
vistble.

Truck drivers, like policemen, are not noted for being easily
scared. But Don Tenopir, a Beatrice, Nebraska trucker, had scared. B:t Don Tenopir, a Beatrice, Nebraska trucker, had

These are only a few sample c s. There ae enough more
to couse a sober appraisal of the pfobiebr.

to hide landing incidents, as in the Exeter case?
Most of us will agree that fear ofthe unknown is far worse than
fear of the known-even if it is something frightening. The late
Dr. Car! Jung, noted Swiss analyst and NICAP member, wrote the
director that withholding iniormation on UFOs from the public
would be the most stupid policy one could devise, certain to in- ael
crease fear rather than lessen it.
The indications are that close approaches and landings will keep
on increasing. If a large number of UFOs should land at points
around the country. or maneuver at low altitudes over a number
of cities, the reaction could be serious. Millions of people, ac-
customed to thi UFOs as jokes, would abruptly realize
they had been deceived. Many would probably suspect that some-
if there was not the slightest
sign of any hostility.
It is far better to get the truth out in the open and prepare people,
as calmly as possible, for further landingsand close servations,
before some sudden development makes gradual and easonable
preparation impossible.
Members' opinions and suggestions for solving this problem
will be very much appreciated.

left the area at speeds in excess of loo miles per hour. Later that night they
returned. The same or a similar UFo again swooped down on their car, and again raturnedThe
they left the area rapidly. They did not come back for a third try.
The really unusual aspects of the case are the following: An open sore
on one officer's arm was apparently healed by heat and light from the UFo. The
policeman, named Bob Goode, had had his arm out the window of the patrol car
during the sighting, and later found that an infected wound from an alligator
bite had healed suddenly.
The second weird aspect was the fact that Goode was visited by two men
shortly after the incident, who told him in detail about the sighting, and ad-
vised him that, should he have another such encounter, he should "try to co-
operate with any being on board, and keep to himself any conversation he might
have with such beings." The identity of these two mysterious men is apparently
not known.
An on-the-spot Air Force investigation of the affair failed to solve
anything. Major Laurence R. Leach, Jr., of nearby Ellington Air Force Sase,
concluded that "both officers appeared to be intelligent, mature, level-headed
A persons capable of sound judgment and reasoning." (Brazo-Sport Facts, Free-
port, Texas, 9/6/65-9/9/65.)
