Initial data
A man driving a car alone found that his car was gradually losing power, and finally stopped. He turned off the ignition and the lights were still on.
He started to get out of the car when he noticed that 20-30 meters from the fence line and 6 meters from the ground, he saw a stationary silent object. It looked like a large army helicopter and was the size of a bus. It was blue/black. It seemed to be gradually moving West. It took about a minute and a half.
He then started the car's engine and left the area.
When the car was examined, nothing was found that could explain its behavior. Inspection of the place did not reveal anything unusual.
