North Key Largo, Florida: Yellow light follows Fawcett's car twice, seems to land on dune
At 11:30 p.m. on July 20, 1967, Barbara Fawcett, driving alone on North Key Largo, Florida, near Jewfish Creek, was overtaken by a burning yellow light floating 6–8 feet above the road; at 2:30 a.m., returning with her sister along US Highway 1, she saw the light rise from a swamp, approach the car and appear to land on a sand dune.
Background
At 11:30 p.m. on July 20, 1967, Barbara Fawcett was driving alone on North Key Largo, Florida, near Jewfish Creek, when she saw a large light in her rear-view mirror apparently following the car. The burning yellow light seemed to float 6–8 feet off the ground and stayed over the road; she accelerated to 100 mph as the light overtook her car and seemed about to land on top of it. As a car approached from the opposite direction, the object emitted a bright yellow glow that lit up the road and then disappeared. She decided to return home to Pompano Beach with her sister the same morning, and at 2:30 a.m. on US Highway 1 near the same spot she saw the light again, rising from a swamp and moving toward them 15 feet above the ground; her sister's toy poodle was terrified. The light veered away from the road and appeared to land on a sand dune. The entry cites the APRO Bulletin of July/August 1967. The account follows the entry in George M.
