Initial data
A thirty-two-year-old car mechanic was sent to repair a broken car that was traveling to the scene in its own car. Suddenly, his car started to slow down and the lights went out.
He pulled up to the car and tried to start the engine. Neither the ignition, nor the dashboard, nor the headlights were working. He noted that the speedometer readings vary from zero to forty km/h, although the car was stationary. He checked under the hood, but found nothing.
He grabbed his flashlight and tried to turn it on, but it didn't work. It also didn't stick to the car, although it was magnetic. He put in new batteries, but it still didn't work.
Then he noticed a bright light on the left, heading towards it. It became brighter, and two minutes later it became clearly visible as a rounded object just four meters from the ground. It passed directly over his car and emitted a small amount of heat. No sounds or distinctive features were noticed. Its speed was forty km/h, and it was speeding away into the distance.
When he touched the fan belt, the engine started. It stopped just as quickly. Then the lights and radio came on. Finally, he left with all the systems running.
