A spaceship-like vehicle reportedly heading to a festival in New Mexico was pulled over for at least a second time.

Highway patrol officials in Oklahoma shared Facebook photos of the rare car, writing, “It’s not every day you pull over a UFO.”

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Ryan Vanvleck pulled over the “UFO” on Monday for having an “obstructed tag,” the post said.

Vanvleck grabbed a selfie with the unique-looking car.

The “UFO Festival,” where the driver of the space vehicle was apparently heading, is held from July 5th through the 7th to celebrate “fascination with extraterrestrial phenomena and embrace the wonders that await beyond the stars,” the event’s website states.

The driver was spotted committing a lane violation. The vehicle also had an expired license plate from Indiana, according to the sheriff’s office.

With the “wind/traffic of the interstate plus the size and aerodynamics of his vehicle, he understood that the potential for lane violations existed,” Crawford County Sheriff’s Office’s Public Information Officer and Undersheriff Major Adam Carnal said in a statement emailed to Fox News Digital.

The driver was provided with a written warning for the violations.

“Given the good nature of the driver and the interesting nature of the vehicle, we opted to provide a fun social media post for our community. It was a great interaction and we wished him safe travels to his destination,” said Carnal.

A gutsy teenager at a Texas snow cone stand put an adult woman in her place after she was called a derogatory name over a $6 misunderstanding.

A viral video captured the interaction between two teenage girls, who were working at Keke’s Snow Balls in Willis, Texas, on Saturday, and an adult woman, dressed in a floral shirt and sunglasses.

The woman is seen approaching the window at the local shop and complained that she had prepaid $6, so her daughter could come by at a later time to pick up a snow cone.

“I came up here by myself and I paid for a snow cone plus six extra dollars, so when she wanted a snow cone she could come up here and get it,” the adult woman is heard saying in the video, which has racked up over 15 million views on TikTok. “Y’all didn’t give her the snow cone.”

“I need my $6 back,” she demands.

The 17-year-old manager, who witnessed the strained interaction between her coworker and the woman, walks up to the counter, opens the cash register and hands $6 to the dissatisfied customer.

“Here you go,” the teen is heard saying while handing the woman her money back.

As the adult is walking off, the teen closes the ordering window, knocking down a wooden sign on the exterior counter.

The other teen worker is heard saying, “Oh, no,” as the grumpy woman storms back to the stand.

“Bi—,” the woman is heard saying.

The teen did not miss a beat and quickly put the older woman in her place.

“Ma’am, please don’t act like that. You’re a grown woman! You’re a grown woman — I’m 17,” the girl said. “Get out of here. Don’t come back. Don’t come back. We don’t need your business.”

In the video’s caption, the company said that it rarely has the opportunity to “highlight mistreatment to staff.”

“I am proud of our supervisor’s handling of the situation. While businesses often face complaints, it’s rare to highlight mistreatment of staff,” the local business wrote. “We have permission from our employee’s parents to post this, with the customer’s face blurred out.”

“We must strive for better behavior and respect in all interactions,” they added.

UCLA student sexually assaulted in dorm room, suspect at large

A suspect remains at large after a student was sexually assaulted while she was sleeping in her dorm room at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The incident happened early Friday at around 2:40 a.m. as the female student was sleeping in her room located in the Saxon Suites, according to the UCLA Police Department.

The suspect entered the student’s room and sexually assaulted her while she was in bed, officials said. He then ran out of the building and fled the area in an unknown direction.

The suspect is described as a white male in his 30s. He has a heavy set build, a curly beard and was last seen wearing all-black clothing and a beanie.

It’s unclear how the man was able to enter the dorm room or the building. The victim was medically treated at the scene.

Students were alerted of the assault Friday morning and many said they now feel uneasy.

“They sent the police report saying a girl was assaulted while sleeping which is very frightening, especially for me as a young woman,” said Chantal de la Cruz, a UCLA student. “I’ve been living here for a year and the [crime] reports we usually get are burglary reports and they’re outside of the campus, so this is a huge shock for everybody. A lot of students don’t feel safe.”
