OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD

A Pewter Hitchhiker In Georgia





Mrs. Robinson was driving from Huntsville, Alabama, to Tifton, Georgia, on the afternoon of October 19, 1973. She stopped at a service station for gas and the customary service check, then drove on at high speed. As she came within twenty minutes of Tifton on I-75, her engine systems all mysteriously ceased functioning. It was about three thirty in the afternoon, she recalls, when she glided off the interstate highway without power steering or brakes. As the car came to a stop on the shoulder of the highway Mrs. Robinson began to experience what she described as a "strange" feeling. She sensed something weird, and when she turned toward the window next to her, she beheld it: a four-foot-tall metallic "man" with a suit that resembled pewter. There was a "bubble" on his head that contained no features except two rectangular slits for eyes. Although she could not bring herself to look directly at the creature, Mrs. Robinson stated that if the window had been down she could have touched the being. The bizarre entity walked infront of the car and around to the back, then disappeared. Mrs. Robinson estimated that the elapsed time was about five to six minutes. She felt that the creature was more robot than human, because of its mechanical motions. Investigators noted that she had not been drinking and was not taking tranquilizers or drugs of any type. When she was certain that the creature was gone, Mrs. Robinson got out of her car, fearful that it might blow up. She raised the hood to attract passing motorists, and smoke came billowing out. When a wrecker towed her car to garage, about one and a half hours later, it was noted that the heat under the hood had been so intense that the engine had almost melted. The metal was so hot "it looked like you could poke your thumb through it." It was another hour and a half before the engine had cooled enough for the mechanic to work on it.
