U.S., Platteville, Illinois: A couple in a car were approached by an ice cream cone-shaped object, which stopped a quarter mile away. It was two to three stories tall and had a "lattice" on the bottom that "shone like diamonds." The headlights and engine of the car went off, as did the outdoor lights of a nearby farm over which the object hovered. The object then spun around, stopped, repeated this sequence twice, gave off a light beam, then tilted up and rose to the northwest. The front end of the car rose three feet while these actions took place. After the object had left, the car could be restarted. (CUFOS)

U.S., near Atlanta, Missouri: A motorist on his way to work saw a red light moving slowly north. After he rounded a curve in the road, the light was suddenly right in front of him. It was a reddish-orange ball about 100 feet in diameter, only 50 feet over the road. As the driver's pickup truck went under it, a white light beam struck the truck and the object became blue-white with red and yellow bands. The driver felt heat from the beam, and his two-way radio wouldn't work. The motor stopped too, but as he slowed down and got out of the beam, the motor started again. The UFO paced the truck for three miles, but only had the light beam on for three-quarters of a mile. The object changed back to its original color and left towards the southeast. (CUFOS)

The two cars kept driving together, but the craft again hovered over one of the cars. They therefore stopped again, but nothing happened to the headlights.
