Auburn Massachusetts: Three Red Glowing Triangles Hover, Cause EM Effects and Burns
In Auburn, Massachusetts, a woman driving in the early evening noticed three red, glowing, triangular objects flying over nearby woods. They hovered over the road directly in front of her. Her radio went dead, her car slowed (engine still running), and she was completely paralyzed. The closest object was only 30 feet away. She felt heat and an unpleasant odor. When another car approached, the objects shot straight up one at a time. She later developed sunburn-like flush, a rash, and peeling skin.
Background
EVENT TITLE: Auburn Massachusetts: Three Red Glowing Triangles Hover, Cause EM Effects and Burns
EVENT DATE: 1979-01-05
EVENT TYPE: sighting
1. In Auburn, Massachusetts, on January 5, 1979, a woman experienced a close encounter with three red, glowing, triangular objects. The objects hovered directly in front of her car, causing electromagnetic interference, paralysis, and physical effects.
The Incident
While driving in the early evening, a woman in Auburn, Massachusetts, observed three red, glowing, triangular objects flying over nearby woods. As she rounded a corner, the objects hovered over the road directly in front of her vehicle. The closest object was approximately 30 feet away.
During the encounter, the woman's car radio went dead, and the car slowed to a stop, although the engine continued to run. She also experienced complete paralysis. She felt heat on her face and noticed an unpleasant odor.
When another car approached from behind, the three triangular objects shot straight up, one at a time. After the objects departed, everything returned to normal. Upon arriving home, the woman noticed her face was flushed as though sunburned. The following day, she developed a rash and some peeling skin. Her car was otherwise unaffected.

Significance
The Auburn, Massachusetts, sighting is significant because it describes a close encounter with triangular objects that caused both electromagnetic and physiological effects. The event is part of a pattern of triangular craft sightings in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s. The source text notes that the abrupt drop-off of sightings in 1979, after a tumultuous 1978, raises questions about a possible relationship between world affairs and the UFO phenomenon. The author speculates that the 1978 sightings, particularly in the Middle East, might suggest a monitoring process by intelligences with some level of prescience or predictive ability regarding human politics. The author also notes that while some triangular craft sightings might be attributed to stealth aircraft testing, the description of three glowing, red triangles does not fit that explanation.
