Background

At 7:30 p.m. Robert Blaine was driving with five other witnesses on State Highway 55 two miles southeast of Farwell, Minnesota, when his headlights and engine suddenly went out. He saw an orange flash to his left at the level of his hood, and tiny beads of light crossed in front of the windshield. A passenger saw an orange-and-red flash go by on the driver's side at window level. The car coasted to a stop, then the engine and headlights came back on by themselves.
