The department posted about the traffic stop, with the pilot’s permission, much to the delight of the thousands of Facebook users interacted with the post.
“There was a brief conversation about his out of space, correction, out of state registration, but he assured us that he would take care of that issue when he returned to Krypton,” the post said. “He was also warned about our strict enforcement of warp speed on the interstate and to keep his phasers on stun only while traveling.”
The two-seat UFO is registered in Indiana and its occupants were headed to the UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico, this week, Carnal said.
“It was a great encounter,” Carnal said. “He was a super friendly guy, it was a definitely highlight for the scrapbook.”
The driver received a warning for expired plates and failing to drive within the lane.
