A recently declassified case reveals how three truck drivers were “teleported” on a highway, allegedly by UFOs. On Reddit, there are so many chilling testimonies that they send shivers down the spine.
The UFO phenomenon has captivated people’s imagination for years, but few cases are as intriguing as that of employees from the Provincial Energy Company of Córdoba (EPEC), Argentina, who in 1978 claimed to have experienced an episode of “teleportation” on the road.
Decades later, truckers on platforms like Reddit share similar, sometimes inexplicable encounters, further deepening the mystery of what might be happening on the highways at night.

The EPEC Case: Teleportation in Argentina
This case came to light thanks to the declassification of secret UFO files. In the early hours of December 27, 1978, Severino Brunetto, his son Daniel Brunetto, and Orlando Carrizo were driving along Route 19 from San Francisco to Córdoba’s capital when, after a brief flash of lights from an oncoming vehicle, they suddenly found themselves much farther ahead on their journey—without any memory of traveling the missing distance.
The three witnesses, along with other truckers who later stopped on the roadside, observed a luminous object with rotating windows, emitting a reddish mist and a white spotlight scanning the sky.
When one of the truckers pointed a flashlight at the craft, it responded with a blinding flash and instantly vanished. To this day, the case remains a mystery.
Paranormal Experiences on the Road
The EPEC workers’ case is not an isolated incident. On Reddit forums, several truckers have shared experiences that defy rational explanation:
Shadows and Unexplained Lights: One driver recounted seeing a formation of green lights moving through the night sky before vanishing into a “pocket of darkness.” Another described a blue flash that simply disappeared.
Auditory Phenomena: A user reported that while driving through Tennessee at dawn, his radio shut off—only to suddenly start broadcasting a sermon about hell on his CB radio, despite it being turned off.
Encounters with Strange Beings: A trucker on a rural Texas road saw a floating red light in the distance, which suddenly rushed toward him, colliding with his truck. Terrified, he sped away, and the dent on his truck’s cab remained as proof of the encounter.
Lost Time and Hallucinations: Several drivers have reported “losing” hours with no explanation or experiencing visions, such as trees transforming into giant creatures or ghostly animals crossing the road.

Logical Explanations or Encounters with the Unknown?
Some phenomena can be attributed to extreme fatigue, sleep deprivation, or even effects related to the Havana Syndrome, which is linked to microwave exposure. However, the sheer number of similar testimonies over the decades suggests there might be something more at play.
The EPEC case and the Reddit accounts raise questions about what is really happening on desolate highways at night. Psychological phenomena or encounters with unknown intelligences? For now, the answer remains shrouded in mystery.
