A Florida man allegedly claimed he had an extraterrestrial encounter that resulted in him being transported into a vehicle he was accused of stealing.

The series of alleged events took place in Volusia County and began in Ormond Beach, where a BMW owner briefly stepped away from his vehicle at Bicentennial Park while walking his dog. The car had been left unlocked, and the keys were reportedly sitting inside. Deputies later said someone appeared to take advantage of that opportunity and drove away in the convertible. A witness in the park recalled seeing a man who seemed disoriented get into the BMW. The witness later told the authorities that the individual had behaved oddly and had asked for help lighting a cigarette.

Not long after the vehicle was reported stolen, deputies spotted it traveling at extremely high speeds, estimated at more than 130 miles per hour. The BMW eventually crashed near a local intersection. When deputies arrived, the car was already in flames, and passing motorists had begun pulling the driver from the wreckage. First responders also worked to extinguish the burning vehicle. Body-camera video later released by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office showed the man was injured and had blood on his face.
