While driving between Elko and Carlin, NV, I observed a large craft(?) It was mis-shapened, but came to a point in the front(?) It was a huge black mass that blotted out the sky, but had little lites under it, like it was trying to camoflage itself with the night sky. When I tried to leave, it lifted my truck up about 5 or 6 feet, then let it drop. I was able to get away, and drove to Carlin and spent the night there.

After working on my truck, I decided to test her out on a long drive. I started the drive from Elko, NV, at about 19:30. I had been driving for about an hour and a half (I know this because the CD I was listening to takes about that long to play, and it was just about ending) when I saw this huge black mass blotting out the sky! It had know real shape, except for what looked like a point at the front (at least I think it was the front!) It had little lights on the underside of it that kind of made it look like part of the starry sky, but you could still see the craft, because lights coming from the Mts. and other surroundings vaguely showed its sillouette. The object made no sound. I stopped and shut down the truck, hoping this craft(?) wouldn't see me, but it did. It flew then stopped right over me. I got in the truck and turned the key, hoping it wouldn't turn into some bad horror movie, where the car NEVER starts! But it did! However, the truck wasn't moving. I realized that the truck was in the air about 5 or 6 feet. I was going to jump, but then the truck came crashing down. I rolled off to the side, realizing that if I had jumped when I did, I would have been crushed. I sped away. I was amazed and really happy that my truck survived the fall. I drove to Carlin, NV, and spent the night there. The next day I checked out my truck, and I only broke some bushings, a front brake caliper, and the 2 back brake drums. If it's possible, I would like to be contacted via e-mail at: ((personal data deleted))
