Page 6 Stevens Point (Wis.) Daily Journal Monday, September 10, 1979 Plover firemen pour water on the smoldering ruins of a barn at the Henry F. Wroblewski farm, Route 2, Amherst. Firemen were called to the scene at 10:16 UP IN SMOKE a.m. Saturday and found the barn in the town of Stockton completely engulfed in flames. The Hull and Whiting Fire Departments were called to assist and firemen prevented the blaze from spreading to two nearby sheds which did sustain minor damage.

The 34x54-foot barn with attached 34-20 lean-to and 10x15 milkhouse was used for storage. Lost in the blaze were a snowmobile, a front end loader, 40 chickens, some used lumber, hay and straw. Wroblewski estimated the loss at $20,000. Plover Fire Chief Joseph Radomski said the Wroblewski family was on the other side of the house picking cucumbers when the fire was first noticed. cause of the blaze has not been determined.

(Staff photo) UFO encounter has deputy in spotlight Stolen recovered car MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Val Johnson's strange encounter on a dark, lonely road last month has thrust him into the glaring light of nationwide attention and put an emotional strain on his family. The Marshall County deputy sheriff is scheduled to appear Tuesday on ABC-TV's Morning America" program to talk about a baffling UFO experience that he says burned his eyes, damaged his car and stopped his watch. And Johnson's home in Oslo, has been flooded with telephone calls from people around the country telling him of similar experiences. "It's a tremendous strain on the family," said the 35-yearold father of three young children. "My wife's run ragged with phone calls.

I hope this drops in a barrel and rests quietly so we can go back to being parents and I can go back to being a little town deputy sheriff." Johnson said he was on patrol near Stephen, about 2 a.m. on Aug. 27 when he saw a beam of light just above the road. The beam sped towards him, his squad car was engulfed in light and he heard glass breaking. Johnson said he was unconscious for 39 minutes, and when he came to, he realized his watch and the car's electric clock had stopped for 14 minutes.

The windshield was shattered, a headlight and red light atop the car damaged and a thin radio aerial bent back. Deputies responding to Johnson's radio call for help found the squad car sideways on the road. Johnson suffered burns to his eyes which a physician called "welders' burns," caused by extremely bright light. Because of the damage and the injury, this incident differed from most UFO reports, says Allan Hendry of the Center for UFO Studies in Evanston, Ill. Tests will be run on the squad car, Hendry said Sunday, and infrared pictures will be taken of the ground around the site of the incident "to see if the intensity of the light affected plants." Hendry is also intrigued by a similar UFO report that came from Vermillion, S.D., days after Johnson's close encounter was reported.

Hendry said Russ Johnson (no relation to Val Johnson) of Vermillion said he was driving alone west of town about 2 a.m. when he, too, saw a light just above the road. Russ Johnson, 33, told police the object suddenly accelerated toward him and engulfed his car in bright light, Hendry said. He kept his eyes closed as the light approached, but opened them in time to see the light speed away, then suddenly vanish. Unlike the deputy, Hendry said Johnson suffered no injury and his car was not damaged.

Hendry said Johnson told him he was not aware of Minnesota UFO report at the time. "Only rarely do I have a repeat experience which happens right on the heels of another one," said Hendry.
