Near Black Rock, AR being encounter — March 1967

A compact Larry Hatch database entry assigns this truck encounter to near Black Rock, Arkansas, in March 1967. Its underlying timeline carries 10 March as an approximate date, rather than a securely established day. The report says a truck malfunctioned, followed by the landing of a saucer-shaped object estimated at fifteen metres across. Humanoid figures then emerged. The principal interaction was described as a mental message instructing the observer to keep the landing secret. No actual wording beyond that short instruction survives in the accessible summary. It does not establish audible speech, the beings’ number, their faces, clothing or height, or a detailed sequence connecting the truck fault with the object. The catalogue labels the failure an electromagnetic effect, but no measurements or mechanical examination accompany the accessible entry. Hatch cites the MUFON UFO Journal without identifying a recoverable issue or article in this extract. Searches did not establish the underlying witness report, so the record remains limited to that catalogue chain. Other Black Rock stories involving truck driver R. D. Smallridge date to 1958 and cannot supply missing details for this 1967 entry. The approximate date and unrecorded appearance should remain explicit.
