Full Description & Details

I was working on my 428 cobra Jet Mustang in which the automatic transmission would not shift into higher gears without the RPMs upto 4 grand or more. So I took the 1969 Mustang into the farm land west of Delray Beach/Boca Raton area off Military Trail. In 1970 that was in the country for sure. I went about 4 miles down a side road and turned my vehicle around, put it in park, left the headlites on and released the hood lock , then got out of the car.The vehicle had headers with very low restricted exhaust. It rumble very loud. I walked around front facing the car and raised the hood. Frustrated with my car and gazing under the dark hood , no flashlite, just lite reflecting from the headlites. 'I better get home or my wife will kill me for being out so late'. I dropped the hood down and whoa, there's a bright light about 100 yards to the rear of my car slightly to the drivers side (my right as I face the car) and probably just above tree height. First thought, it was a helicopter, watching or wondering what I was doing in the middle of nowhere. (remember' loud' vehicle) I thought I could at least hear something from the helicopter but I didn't. I reach through the downed window and turn the igintion off. I then looked back at the object, still no sound and then I noticed it was an illuminating metallic object and it was not shinning a light at me. It then came within 100 feet or so of me.

No sound about 40-50 feet spherical shape, illuminating, and not projecting a light, just hovering in place. I was getting a bit freaked out. I jumped in my Mustang, cranked it up, put the 'pedal to the metal' and raced out of there. This thing started following me. I get up to around 150 mph and it's moving parallel on my right side of me for about 3 miles. When I started approaching Military Trail Road, it backed off. I made a left turn on Military Trail and again accelerated as fast as the car would go. I looked out the window as it seemed to be hovering over the farm land, then it moved back at a rapid speed for a few seconds then it went into hyper drive like a rocket and disappeared.

No camera with me. No witnesses. Just an experience that I've told a few people. Back then they would have thought of me being crazy, I'm sure. This was awhile back, but something I'll always remember and wonder to this day what would have happen if I hadn't run from it and wish I had a camera with me.
