It seems that alien visitors are no longer content with drawing crop circles, torturing livestock and abducting humans: now, they're coming for our cars too, at least according to one Ohio man.
On Tuesday morning, the Tuscarawas County Sherriff's office responded to a call from a 28-year-old Akron man at the Crossroads Marathon station located on Route 800 NE in Magnolia, OH. The man claimed to be experiencing difficulty locating his vehicle after "subjects not of this world" instructed him to drive it to an empty field.
It's unclear exactly what occurred when the man, who police have declined to identify by name, arrived at the designated location, but at 1:36 am, he placed a call to emergency dispatchers. Deputy Rick Morrison arrived on the scene, where the man informed him that he had been "taken before."
The man said that aliens instructed him to drive to the empty field, which would turn into some kind of extraterrestrial airport where the man would presumably get whisked away aboard an alien spaceship.
Deputies Rick Morrison and Mike Creager observed that the man had clearly been walking for several hours by the time he called 911. The officers reported that even though he was wearing shoes at the time, there were blisters on his feet.
The officers believe that the man walked from Stark County and arrived in Tuscarawas County via Route 800. While several attempts were made to locate a party who might be willing to bring the man home, the officers were unsuccessful. Eventually, the man's roommate was contacted, but he was at work and unable to assist immediately. The man then asked to be taken to a nearby Canton hotel where the roommate would come for him at a later point in time.
At the time of reporting, police remain uncertain regarding the whereabouts of the man's vehicle, but they do not believe alien visitors stole it. They suspect the car to be wherever the man last left it, likely somewhere in Stark County. Or it could have been stolen by some pranksters.
