Osakis, Minnesota: Ball of fog strikes driver's car, leaves burn marks on windshield
Late in the evening of May 10, 1961, on a rural road south of Osakis, Minnesota, a ball of fog about 3 feet in diameter descended from a clear sky onto Richard Vogt's car, leaving burned pit marks in the windshield and specks in the hood.
Background
Late in the evening Richard Vogt, driving on a rural road south of Osakis, Minnesota, saw a “ball of fog approximately 3 feet in diameter” descending swiftly toward him at a 45° angle from a clear sky. Unable to take evasive action, he could only stare as the object hit the upper part of his hood and windshield. The noisy impact generated a tremendous amount of heat, and the windshield became extremely hot to the touch. The object left pit marks burned into the windshield, circular tracks on the glass and burned specks in the finish of the hood. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
