thanks to mr john schwab, mufon san antonio, who insisted that i tell my story. to mention this story was not something which i naturally felt comfortable doing. only after tracking the mufon site for several days after this event and noticing the numerous sightings reported the same week including several back around stevensville, tx was i persuaded to come forward. i flew down to san antonio on an annual business trip sunday oct 19th. arriving at the airport i picked up a rental car and traveled through the city and started southwest in the direction of eagles pass for the night. i left the interstate onto texas hwy 57 toward the mexican border town. soon after leaving the bright lights of the interstate exit i noticed out of the corner of my eye that a supposed plane was tracking the path of the 2 lane highway. i assumed that it was just a low flying airplane using the road to navigate its course. at the time that i first noticed this craft it was a solid white glow. the object was approximately tracking my speed until it came upon the first radio tower and it seemed to slow down somewhat before resuming my same speed. about this time i noticed that this supposed plane had no position lights or anti-collision lights. my attention was further heightened as the craft passed and slowed down for another radio tower and then started to dip in altitude before regaining its previous path. it was at this time that the object started changing shapes and colors at the same time. the object changed from a small white glow into a much larger rectangular object showing colors of blue and green. the occasional oncoming traffic kept their speed and if they noticed this object-they showed no signs whatsoever.this went on for several more miles with me paying closer and closer attention to the object and never slowing down on this desolate road. i finally came to some curves in the otherwise straight-stretch of road. trying to drive and pay attention to the object became more difficult as i entered the first curve. i noticed that rather that continuing on a straight course--it too had followed me into the curve making up the distance and growing in brightness and intensity. not only was it glowing now but it was casting its light on my vehicle. after another curve or two it followed the same pattern of growing much closer and cast its light in my direction. by now i was completely unglued. still the occasional oncoming cars did not seem affected in any manner. soon after the curves i passed a couple of convenience stores in a wide spot in the road. the object had changed shape again and was now oblong or cigar shaped and had now turned red in color. i continued down the road until i finally came to the town of la pryor. i did stop now at a convenience store in the middle of town as the craft moved on slightly ahead of me and paused to hover at the western edge of town but still within my sight. i did not know if i had the nerve to continue on even though i had a guaranteed hotel reservation 40 miles ahead of me in eagles pass. too late to cancel my reservation now and i had not passed a hotel since i left the interstate 40 miles back. traffic had become less and less frequent on this sunday evening as everyone must have been home with their families. what the hell was i doing here and why was i being singled out? do i dare get back on the road and chance an abduction? i hung out in the convenience store for a few minutes and came out hoping that the object had moved on but it was still there just outside the few lights in this small town. was i the only person who had seen this strange object? why did it not just keep moving? after waiting outside for a few more minutes a tour bus pulled over at the same convenience store and parked for a few minutes. i thought that i would just wait until the tour bus pulled out and follow him to the border. if anything strange happened on the next stretch of road--at least there will be witnesses on the bus. about the same time the tour bus was pulling out an 18 wheeler came through town with 2 cars behind him. as the bus pulled out behind them, i was right on the bus' bumper. there was no way that i was going to let these vehicles out of my sight after this craft had been tracking me for 40 miles. the object resumes its course as soon as i pulled out of la pryor. now it was following an 18 wheeler, 2 cars, a tour bus and myself in my rental car. these other drivers were not wasting time, in fact the tour bus passed the 2 cars on this 2 lane highway and i was pleased just to keep them all in sight. our little convoy went for about 10 miles until suddenly the craft abandoned its parrallel course with the road and took a more southernly route and took off at a much faster speed. i watched it until it moved out of sight heading for mexico. i became convinced that i was being singled out for a possible abduction. certainly glad that it never came to that.i made the final leg of the trip without any further incident and checked into the holiday inn express in eagles pass as planned. needless to say, i did not get much sleep that night thinking about my trip to this border town.
