Background

At 7:50 p.m. a subcontractor on his way to a job was driving near Haselor, Warwickshire, England. He saw a white, cigar-shaped object with a steady red glow at either end pass in front of his windshield. The steering wheel instantly became hot, forcing him to lift his hands off it. He manoeuvred the car off the road and waited until the wheel had cooled enough to steer. Flying Saucer Review reported the case in 1981 under the title 'Witness Burned by Passing UFO'. 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.
