Initial data
A banana farmer was returning home when he noticed a dim white light on the bitumen on the left side of the road.
As he approached the light, he saw what looked like the dark shape of a beehive behind it. Then the light rose vertically, and when it was ten meters and one meter from the ground, there was a blinding flash. When his vision returned, he realized that the car's headlights, dashboard, and engine had stopped working.
The reporter switched the car to neutral (it was an automatic transmission) and stopped by inertia. He was just lighting a cigarette when the headlights and dashboard lit up of their own accord. He tried the engine, which started for the first time, and drove home.
When he got home, he examined the car. The battery terminals were tightened and the terminals showed no signs of corrosion. No persistent side effects were observed.

Summary: A banana farmer was returning home when he became aware of a dull white light sitting on the bitumen on the left hand side of the road. Nearing the light he saw what looked like a dark beehive shape behind it. The light then rose vertically and when it was an estimated ten metres away and one metre off the ground, there was a blinding flash. Upon regaining his sight he realized that the car’s headlights, dash lights and engine had all ceased to function. The reporter put the car into neutral (it was an automatic) and coasted to a stop.He was just lighting a cigarette when the headlights and dash lights came back on by themselves. He tried the engine which started the first time and he drove home. Once home he inspected the vehicle. Battery leads were on tight, terminals were free of corrosion. No lasting side effects were noticed. A magnetic signature check revealed nothing abnormal.
