Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Albuquerque, NM, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Electrical or magnetic effects

Traveling in a pick up truck, we saw a bright glowing green disk fly over us. It made the engine & electrical of the truck stop immediately as it flew overhead. After it passed over us the truck started back up.

We were on vacation, late at night, in the desert between Albuquerque and Arizona, headed west on the highway. From the north a large round disk flew over us, not very high. The whole thing was lit up with a weird green color (like phosphurescent). We looked out at it, and as it passed over us the truck stopped all by itself. It would not start again until the disk had passed over. I think the whole thing took about five minutes, because it was moving slowly. We saw one disk. There was four of us. At that time I was 14, my brother was 8. My father and mother were with us.
