A motorist in his 1982 Toyota was driving home on a clear evening when his car gradually lost power and stopped due to inertia. The lights were still on. 

He went out to inspect the engine and noticed that sparks were coming from the wire fence. Looking in that direction, he saw an object behind the fence about 100 feet (30 m) away and 15-20 feet (4.5-6 m) above the ground, a dark cigar shape with a blue haze around it. The object began to move, apparently changing shape due to a different perspective, and disappeared from view after about 30 seconds.
