Deputy is Knocked Out in 'UFO Attack' (-cont) – The Grand Forks Herald 8-29-1979

[...]

     [Deputy Val] Johnson was on patrol about 1:40 am when he was attacked by an "unidentified thing." It dove at his car and caused him to lose control. It then left him on an isolated rural highway, injured and unable to account for 39 minutes.

The 35-year-old deputy said he was about 10 miles west of Stephen, Minn., when he spotted a bright beam of light about 8 inches in diameter, "like a spotlight," he said. It was hovering 3 to 4 feet above the highway, he said, and it was about 2 1/2 miles away when he first saw it.

"I noticed a very bright, brilliant light, 8 to 12 inches in diameter, 3 to 4 feet off the ground," Johnson said in a taped police interview. "The edges were very defined."

Johnson drove toward the light, and woke up in the ditch a half-hour later with burns around his eyes. The windshield and one headlight of his 1977 Ford LTD were smashed. Both radio antenna were bent sharply back. The watch on his wrist and the clock on the dash both ticked 14 minutes slow.
