As this was happening, a family of 6 witnessed a cigar shaped aircraft near Staunton high school for several minutes, and a woman near Harrisonburg reported a bright object in the sky that she said was ‘following her.’ As panic spread, more and more sightings were reported north of Augusta County, and people must’ve felt like an invasion was happening. In a newspaper clipping from February 1965, it was suggested that the state police or National Guard be called in to calm the people, and protect them from the invaders from outer space.

started with a classic encounter; object flies over, vehicle shuts down, wtf.

Blue Book said they found nothing.

I'd never heard of this incident.

1964 also saw activity in the El Paso area

An Edgewood man told state police he fired 12 .22 caliber pistol shots at an “oblong thing,” early this morning. With certainty, he told of hitting the UFO six times and hearing the bullets bounce from it.
As he paused to reload, the man said the object moved silently northward. He was unable to determine whether shots 7 to 12 struck the thing. He described it as being a light green color, about 25 or 30 feet long, and silent. He said it hovered about 100 feet directly over his head.

Investigating sate policemen said the man was completely “sober.” Edgewood is a community about 20 miles east of Albuquerque.

(glad he was sober. alcohol and firearms do NOT go together.)

1964 was apparently a pretty busy year in the saucer world.
I think Frank Herbert documented some of this in the book 'Flying Saucers--Serious Business'. great book if you're interested in the subject.
