Welcome to bite-sized UFOs, a show where we break down lesser-known UFO cases in 20 minutes or less.

And now here's your host, Graham Rendell.

Two teenagers driving down a deserted country road in Ohio, late one night in mid-July, 1967, would have an unforgettable experience.

However, the mystery did not stop there. The driver went on to have visits from two sets of strange individuals.

They wanted to know more about the incident.

We discuss all of this in this latest episode of bite-sized UFOs.

Details of this case first appeared in the July August 1967 edition of the APRO Bulletin, the newsletter of the Aerial

Phenomenon Research Organisation. A young man called Robert Richardson, a 21-year-old from

Toledo, Ohio, had sent APRO a telegram telling them what happened on the evening of 13th July, which was a Thursday night.

Apro contacted the witness by telephone and informed him that they would send an investigator out

to interview him, and the results were published in the July August, 1967 edition of the

Apro Bulletin.

According to Richardson, 21, and his companion, Jerry Key, 21,

also of Toledo, they had been en route to White House, Ohio, to see if White House Quarry,

a famous swimming area, would be open for the coming weekend. At a point about midway between

Maui and White House, Ohio, Richardson turned around a bend

in the road and saw before him a very brilliant blue-white source of light which completely

blocked the road.

He later said he instinctively brake the car, closing his eyes at the same time, as he knew

he would strike it.

He was going 40 miles per hour when he spotted the object.

Fearing the inevitable impact, Richardson stamped on the brakes and both men shut their eyes.
