In Part 1 of this series, I provided an overview of what is sometimes called “Minnesota’s Roswell” or more often, “Minnesota’s most notorious UFO incident.” It’s the story of that day in August of 1979 that a UFO “rammed” the squad car of Marshall County sheriff’s deputy Val Johnson.

A few months ago, as a freelance journalist, I decided to re-open the case (so to speak) after coming upon some new and significant information.

I was able to flush out four new witnesses who encountered what is highly likely to be the same anomalous object that struck Val Johnson’s car. These additional incidents happened in nearly the same location within a close time frame of the summer/fall season of 1979.

One of the new witnesses — along with his wife who was with him — has a wild story to tell.

This new account adds significant weight to the sheriff’s deputy Val Johnson’s case. It happened two months and two days after Johnson encountered his anomalous object on Aug 27.
