BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS Witness encountered brilliant light directly above road as he rounded a bend in road in sparsely settled territory. About 200 feet ahead of him and 50-75 feet off the ground. No object, just light. Radio faded into static. Light itself emitted a beam downward that illuminated nearby trees. Light was retracted as if the beam were a ladder. Beam 5 - 6 feet wide, well defined. Main light fuzzy on edges. Driving a '67 Ford, but engine just cut out as did radio. Main light was scintillating. Subtended arc of several degrees. Light disappeared in a few seconds going straight up. Engine started by itself - car had been left in drive gear.
