Roswell-Bound 'Flying Saucer' Stopped Again

By Tim Binnall

A pair of UFO buffs' road trip to Roswell has become an unforgettable journey as their 'flying saucer' car is back in the headlines after being pulled over by the cops for a second time. The curious 'craft' popped up in the news earlier this week when the Crawford County Sheriff's Office in Missouri took to social media with the account of how one of their deputies had encountered the odd vehicle as it cruised along the highway. Weirdly enough, just as the amusing photos from the odd traffic stop were going viral, the 'flying saucer' found itself yet again on the side of the road after catching the attention of authorities.

Also detailing the stop on social media, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol shared photos of the peculiar car and marveled that "it's not every day you pull over a UFO." They went on to recount how the out-of-this-world vehicle had been stopped by a trooper when he noticed that it had an obstructed tag. While the post made no mention of the fact that this was the same flying saucer that was pulled over in Missouri days earlier, it undoubtedly was and, just as in that instance, the UFO buffs were given a warning after they explained that they were headed for Roswell for this weekend's festivities. Similarly, the second traffic stop has also gone viral, extending the car's fifteen minutes of fame by a few more days.

It is uncertain where the flying saucer might currently be on its sojourn to Roswell, though one would not be surprised if it winds up being pulled over yet again before making it to New Mexico since it's certainly not flying under the radar of police. However, when the UFO buffs finally do arrive at the festivities, they are likely to receive a hero's welcome thanks to its headline-making journey that unfolded over the past week. That said, they might want to fix whatever issue keeps getting them pulled over, since cops may be less forgiving of the 'craft' when it's on the way home from the big event.
