During June 1977, a truck driver near Middelburg, South Africa, reported seeing a bright unidentified object in the vicinity of a quarry. His truck malfunctioned during the encounter and later began working again. Afterward he found that there was a period he could not account for. A possible taking was suggested in subsequent reporting, but the available description gives no occupants, interior or remembered examination. The reported light near the quarry, the interruption of the truck's operation and the missing interval are the events that can be followed. The driver's identity and the length of the unexplained interval are not supplied.
