(Hey everyone - UFOJane here. I'll be visiting the location of this UFO sighting later this week, as part of the Edinburg UFO Festival. You can buy tickets to the event here. Or you can stay at home and follow along for coverage on Instagram and YouTube!)

Original story:
  • When: Fall 1966 (October or November, exact date unknown)
  • Where: North of Edinburg on Farm to Market Rd 490 (South Texas)
  • What: Eight witnesses see UFO that then shoots down fire onto their surroundings, destroying their equipment, vehicles and RV

Although no photos or videos were taken of the amazing encounter, eight witnesses in total lived to tell about it. In the fall of 1966, eight male construction workers were digging in a rural area north of Edinburgh, Texas when a UFO approached them. The men panicked and it's possible that they shot their guns up at the UFO. The mysterious craft then reportedly shot down beams of light onto their construction site, which subsequently caught on fire. The entire site, including two vehicles and a small mobile home or RV, was destroyed. Another local reported seeing a cigar-shaped UFO in the area around the same time, and so this may be the same UFO that caused all the destruction.

The sheriff of Donna, Texas at the time (just 25 minutes from Edinburg) later shared that he had been approached by people dressed in military uniforms who asked about the UFO report. Sheriff E. E. Vickers believed the people were from the nearby Moore Air Base.

I appreciate you posting this incredible story that I've been investigating for about 10 years after the son of the principal witness came forward. Deputy sheriff Milo Ponce was a highly respected local law enforcement agent and jurist who later became the county judge for Hidalgo county. Now deceased, he has a county park named after him. His son, Joe Ponce, remembers vividly the story of this UFO encounter told by his dad, and Joe remembers visiting the site of the incident the morning after it happened, where he witnessed the devastation. If anyone has questions, feel free to contact me through my web site, RoswellBooks.com. Thanks!

This situation is not uncommon. There have been a number of reports in which UFO's have fired back at individuals who have fired upon them even if one would think small arms fire should not pose a threat to the craft in question.

They are lucky they were not killed outright. A message was clearly sent. If it can be proven the workers had not fired upon the craft then I would suggest a deeper analysis of that location (geology, archaeology, minerals) etc be undertaken.
