Hi, Kenny,

>first article makes brief mention of a mysterious automobile
>which had a strange triangular emblem w/lightning bolt on the

>accompanied by the written phrase: "Seven Steps to Hell."

>And has anything similar been reported elsewhere?

The allegedly myserious automobile is part of the folklore of
the Portage County case, but it's no part of the factual aspect
of this crucial incident.

The only thorough investigation was conducted by Bill Weitzel
for NICAP.  Weitzel, who learned that the automobile's owner was
quickly traced, actually examined the vehicle himself while it
was still parked along 224. He wrote, "It had some tapes, a
cheap Japanese transistor toy tape recorder with a tape of
hillbilly music on it, some miscellaneous electrical gear, in
the back seat. Trunk full of old tires." The "Seven Steps to
Hell" insignia was not on the car, only in witness Dale Spaur's
subsequent nightmares.

Those looking for an in-depth treatment of the case are referred
to my UFO Encylopedia, 2nd Ed., or The UFO Book. This is one of
the great UFO events, but except for what I've written about it
and a failed attempt to debunk it in an anti-UFO book, it has
been inexplicably neglected in the literature.
