Who are the "Federal police"?  Never heard of them.  A few miles
south of town he would have entered the Ute Mountain Indian
Reservation, maybe the car belonged to the reservation police.
And so what, anyway?

A couple days previously I had been in this area and on this
same stretch of highway and had noticed a number of bicyclists.
The Mesa Verde National Park is nearby.  I saw an older guy
peddling across a desolate stretch of road through Monument
Valley a few miles to the West.  Unfortunately, apparently
deliberate road attacks like this on non-UFOlogical cyclists are
common all around the country.  Where I come from in
Pennsylvania they often come from laughing pick-up drivers like
this one.  A neighbor of mine was badly hurt a few years ago by
a pick-up truck driver who knocked him over to skid on the road,
and left laughing.  My friend peddled 20 miles to a hospital.
Too bad, and I'm very glad that Mr. Unum was not hurt, beyond
being shook up.  But, so what?  Did he make a complaint to the
Navaho Reservation Police, where he was when the incident
occurred?  No much elso one could do.

What is an "Air Force-type mechanics truck", driven by a
civilian?  Could Unum or our informant be more specific before
putting this kind of paranoia on the net?

I'll bet the Air Force has more important things to do than
intimidate bicyclists on a well-travelled public highway who are
really UFOlogists in disguise (see pixs on website).

Give us a break!
