| 0:00.0 | My name is Rigg Martinez and I'm a retired truck driver. |
| 0:10.0 | This happened when I was like 30 years old and I am now 62. |
| 0:17.0 | On the road I've seen many strange things and I've told this story over and over and yet a lot of people don't believe me |
| 0:28.1 | but it starts off in Stockton, California where I picked up a load of pipe. My destination was Salt Lake City, Utah, |
| 0:38.8 | and I was supposed to refuel in Varsity, California at a truck stop. But lo and behold, they were out of fuel. |
| 0:48.8 | So I told my supervisor, hey, I got half a tank of fuel. |
| 0:54.0 | He told me to continue and hit the first truck stop I seen. |
| 0:59.0 | So, 100 miles into Nevada, nothing but desert, seeing nothing but sparsely lit desert with a couple of towns. |
| 1:12.0 | When I noticed my gauge set was reading Am-D. with a couple of towns. |

| 1:34.3 | So he told me to sit still and that he would be buying an hour and he could siphon some |
| 1:40.0 | fuel from his tanks into mine. So I sat there and I noticed that it is a small town with |
| 1:49.6 | sparse lighting. As I sit there I couldn't run the engine so I couldn't listen to the radio and had |
| 1:58.9 | to sit there in silence. I don't do drugs and I didn't make this up so listen carefully. |
| 2:07.0 | As I'm sitting there I notice a lot of undone construction, a trailer parked to my right side, completely dark, and a church |
| 2:19.4 | off to my left about a block away with its lights on. |
| 2:24.3 | It's about 2 a.m. and I see this jackrabbit hopping around my truck. |
| 2:31.2 | It hops around and just stares at me and keeps hopping around. |
| 2:37.0 | So I'm getting hungry and I notice what looks to be a convenience store about another block away from the church. |
| 2:48.0 | So I get off the truck and decide to walk to the store. |
