Mr. and Mrs. F. and their four children were traveling near the Pocket, which at the time was the center of a major UFO explosion.

 Being a deeply religious man, F. considered some serious problems while driving. Something gave him the impression that they were going to see something, and about a mile away, F. noticed that "a small cloud appeared in the sky to the West of them, very bright and strange." 

He drew his family's attention to the cloud, and as he was driving, one of his children noticed that the cloud had rainbow-colored stripes. The cloud suddenly "opened" with a silent explosion. 

F. pulled off the road and everyone looked up. They claimed to see "a great colorful war", with armored horses running to battle in the West, and "quite a lot of white angels in the East, each surrounded by pillars of fire". 

After a few minutes, the picture disappeared and they drove on. 

Soon the 10-year-old son shouted that there was a "big red dragon" in the sky. F stopped the car and saw a very bright colorful funnel turned upside down over the car, two huge big hands were lowered under the car and felt as if they were lifted into the sky. 

F. claims that their bodies became weightless, and he saw the figure of an angel above them. He could see bright colored pillars of fire burning around them; they also saw several bright "stars"fly by. 

His other children saw other images in the sky: a lion, a deer, an eagle, a witch, etc. (A religious vision?) 

Original news

Location. Near Carman, Manitoba Canada
Date: May 2 1976
Time: afternoon
Mr. And Mrs F and their 4 children were traveling near Carman, which happened to be the center of a major UFO flap at the time. A deeply religious man, F was pondering some grave concerns as he drove. Something gave him the impression that they would see something and at approximately ¾ of a mile outside of Carman F noted “a small cloud appeared in the sky west of them, very bright and strange.” He drew his family’s attention to the cloud, and as he drove one of his children commented that the cloud appeared to have rainbow colored stripes. The cloud suddenly “opened up” with a noiseless explosion. F pulled the car off the road and all gazed upward. They claimed they could see a “big, colorful war” taking place, with armored horses running to battle in the west, and in the east “quite a few white angels, each surrounded by pillars of fire.” After a few minutes the tableau disappeared and they drove on. Soon the 10-year old son yelled out that there was a “big red dragon in the sky.” F stopped the car and saw a very bright, colorful funnel upside down over the car, two great big hands coming down underneath the car and felt as if were lifted up into the heavens. F claims that their bodies became weightless and he saw an angel-like figure above them. He saw bright colorful pillars of fire burning around them; they also saw several bright “stars” shooting by. His other children saw other images in the sky, a lion, a deer, an eagle, a witch, etc. (Religious vision?)
