Police had a close encounter with what looked like an alien spacecraft when they spotted it making its way across the United States.

Crawford County Sheriff's Office in Missouri published pictures of the futuristic-looking vehicle that resembled a UFO after deputies pulled it over during a traffic stop.

“Well, you never know what will be travelling through Crawford County but this one was a little out of this world,” the agency says in a Facebook post. 

The “friendly humanoids” behind the controls of the quirky vehicle had “come in peace” and were driving to a festival in Roswell, the New Mexico city linked to extra-terrestrial activity, reports Sky News.

The vehicle was reportedly stopped in late June after it was seen committing a lane violation and it also had an expired licence plate from Indiana. The driver was provided with a written warning for the transgressions.

“There was a brief conversation about his out-of-space, correction, out-of-state registration, but he assured us that he would take care of that issue when he returned to Krypton,” the office’s tongue-in-cheek post explains. 

“He was also warned about our strict enforcement of warp speed on the interstate and to keep his phasers on stun only while travelling.”
