Reports of UFOs by truckers are common enough that an entire book could be devoted to this subject alone. Reports range from two drivers (a married couple) being chased by a bubble-shaped craft full of bird-like creatures, to an entire tractor-trailer being sucked up into a UFO, along with the trucker who was driving it. In 1972, a trucker in South Carolina claimed not only to have seen a UFO, but that it was following him on a nightly basis.According to the article (page 4 of the pdf) headlined “Truck Driver Believes ‘Saucer’ follows Him,” in the January 26, 1973, Gaffney, South Carolina, Ledger, a driver for Charlotte-based Akers Motor Lines, Gerald Summey, reported that he had been followed for three months by “an oval-shaped object, which glows like a fluorescent light.” “At least a dozen of Summey’s trucker friends” are reported to have seen it as well. One sighting is described where Summey, along with another Charlotte-based truck driver, watched the object through binoculars as it landed in a field. It’s described as “oval, with a black base and holes all around the base area.” The personnel manager at Akers is reported to have had “no qualms” regarding Summey’s character and it is said that Summey “reportedly neither drinks, smokes, nor ‘pops pills’ to stay awake.”Read more →
