Ottawa (CP). -- An Ottawa family says an unidentified flying object, flashing bright white lights, chased their truck on a highway at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour last week.
Rick Bouchard, 25, his wife Donne and their three young children, were returning to Ottawa on Highway 417 Thursday evening when the incident occurred.
"I saw very bright lights in my rearview mirror. At first I thought it was another car."
Mr. Bouchard claims to have accelerated up to 100 miles per hour to escape the 10-foot-wide, oval-shaped, brightly lit object. "The children were petrified with fear."
The object eventually disappeared behind a forest and the Bouchards alerted the police. A family friend, who drove on the same road a few hours later after hearing of the incident, also claimed to have been chased by a similar object.
