Obviously, Bob Estes momentarily lost his mind on that lonely stretch of highway out of Sioux City! Right? How else does one explain that a highly educated, successful, person with no other incidence (as far as I could find) of a psychotic lapse?
"The Mothman Prophecies" https://archive.org/details/johnkeelthemothmanprophecies.atruestorybookzz.org has one example of this exact same type of incidence: A person is driving along and stop by a craft only to open a conversation with its occupant. (It is a reoccurring theme in "contact stories.") In
Mothman, it's the mysterious Indrid Cold who makes an appearance:

(The contactee with Indrid Cold, Woody Derenberger, wrote a book of his experiences:

Cold, or a
similarly named figure, pops up in this and other of these scenarios. It is beyond coincidence and a bit of insanity that this is the case. Skinwalker Ranch has this same bat-crap crazy stuff. What does it all mean?
