Case description

At about 11:45 p.m. on January 7, 1958, twenty-one-year-old Brian Crittendon was driving near Farm Hill, Australia, when a dome-shaped object began following his car. The object projected a narrow beam of light toward the ground and remained roughly fifty meters away and ten meters above the ground. Frightened, Crittendon continued driving despite a partly flat tire. The object followed him for approximately five kilometers, then overtook the car at a speed exceeding one hundred kilometers per hour. During the pursuit the car radio was disrupted, although the object itself made no sound. The available entry does not state where or how the object finally departed.
