Crawford County, Missouri officers were stunned when they pulled over a unique vehicle during a traffic stop on the interstate. The space car was headed to Roswell, New Mexico for a festival on Friday evening, according to the sheriff’s office. The vehicle was spotted committing a lane violation and had an expired license plate from Indiana.
The driver understood the potential for lane violations due to the “wind/traffic of the interstate plus the size and aerodynamics of his vehicle.” Public Information Officer and Undersheriff Major Adam Carnal said in an email to Fox News Digital that the driver was provided with a written warning for the violations. Officers were able to snap a few photos of the traveling “UFO.”
The post garnered more than 12,000 reactions on Facebook with users marveling about the rare sight. “Do not mess with the aliens; they might have death ray weapons,” one man commented. “The aliens have landed,” a woman wrote. “I think we can all agree if it doesn’t sound like the flying cars from the Jetsons that’s a big missed opportunity,” said another. “Nice I’ve seen some pretty wonky and fun pics from various police depts / state police of various vehicles on the roads going to events like these or wacky vehicle conventions and things,” one woman commented. “This is great! Love the sense of humor from your department,” one man said.
