In a lighthearted social media post, the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office in Missouri recently received praise for an encounter with a unique vehicle that resembled a UFO. The agency shared images of the vehicle on its Facebook page after officers pulled it over during a traffic stop.
The social media response to the post was full of tongue-in-cheek humor, with users sharing their own sightings of the vehicle and even making references to popular science fiction. There were also concerns about the safety of the vehicle raised by some users.
Reports confirmed that the owner of the saucer car was from Indiana and that the vehicle had been built from a modified 1991 Geo Metro. The agency’s playful approach to the unusual encounter was commended by many, adding a fun and entertaining twist to what could have been a standard traffic stop.
