Hicksville, Li, NY being encounter — April 14, 1967

The Hatch catalogue records a vehicle-related encounter at Hicksville, Long Island, New York, on April 14, 1967, at approximately 9 p.m. Its brief account describes a car malfunction, unusual voices from the radio, a small saucer landing, and a small humanoid appearing at a hatch. Soil was reportedly collected. The source bibliography points to Mark Rodeghier's CUFOS catalogue of UFO reports involving vehicle interference. The description does not identify the motorist, specify the radio words, explain how the sample was taken, or document a laboratory examination. Calling the car trouble electromagnetic interference records the catalogue's interpretation rather than an independently measured cause. A Project Blue Book desk index also lists a Hicksville report on April 14 with insufficient data, but the index alone does not establish which details of the landing narrative were investigated. The plate depicts the stated roadside observation and soil-collection motif. The person's appearance, vehicle, sampling implement, and precise craft outline are illustrative choices. No taking or onboard experience is supplied by this abstract.
