Close encounters of the nerd kind: Smiling troopers in 2 states pull over ‘out of this world’ vehicle heading to UFO Festival

A smiling police officer recently issued a traffic ticket on a spaceship-like vehicle heading to a UFO festival in Roswell, New Mexico. Fox News reported.

To borrow from the sitcom, I’d say there are some nerdy close encounters. episode From the last century.

The first incident occurred at the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office in Missouri. I have written In a Facebook post last Friday, he referred to the pair of “friendly humanoids who have come to bring peace.”

“He was also warned of strict enforcement of warp speed on interstate highways and to keep his phasers in stun mode only while traveling.”

While the sheriff’s office noted the traffic stop was “a bit unusual,” police believe the occupants of the vehicle were “heading west toward Roswell, New Mexico for the festival,” as shown in the dash cam image below.

“There was a brief conversation regarding out of space, corrections and out of state registration, but he promised to resolve the issue upon his return to Krypton. He was also warned about strict enforcement of warp speed on interstate highways and to keep his phasers in stun mode only while traveling,” the sheriff’s office added in a post.

Fox News reported, citing an email from the sheriff’s office, that the driver of the vehicle was observed committing a lane violation. The vehicle also had expired Indiana license plates.

“Deputies were aware of the potential for a lane violation given the wind and traffic on the interstate, as well as the size and aerodynamics of the vehicle,” Crawford County Sheriff’s Office officials added in a statement to Fox News.

“Given the driver’s personable nature and the interesting nature of the vehicle, we decided to provide a fun social media post for the community,” officials added in a statement, the cable news network reported. “It was a great interaction, and we wished him a safe journey to his destination.”

A second close encounter involving the same vehicle occurred in Oklahoma on Monday, Fox News reported.

“It’s not every day we pull over a UFO,” the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said. I have written On Tuesday, they posted on their Facebook page: “Officer Ryan VanVreck #722 stopped this vehicle yesterday on Turner Turnpike for obstructing plates. The vehicle was on its way to the UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico. Officer VanVreck let them go with only a warning.”
