A 14-car diesel train was stopped by a huge UFO. 

At first it appeared as a huge blinding cloud of light over the city, then it flew towards the train, changing color from bright white to glowing orange. Seventy passengers on Board woke up and screamed in horror. 

A yellow beam of light hit the locomotive and stopped the engine. Engineer Sixto Cures said:

"I tried to start the engine, but it was dead. Fifteen minutes later, the engine suddenly came to life again as the object began to move away from the train." 

The locomotive has just been overhauled and is in perfect condition. Experts from the University of Cruro, railway managers and local police confirmed that the train was paralyzed by a UFO, and it was not a mechanical failure. 

On the previous three nights, residents of nearby villages who were being chased by UFOs tried to scare them off by shooting.

This episode introduces the extremely complex element of starting the engine at the departure of a UFO, a circumstance that has been reported 27 more times for spark-ignition engines.
