UFO and electronics

[Blake]

A few weeks ago, when we were leaving at 6:00 to go to somewhere else, about a 2 hour drive, something happened halfway through. A huge white object flew over the front of the car, and for about 5 minutes, all the electronics in our car, lit dashboard, temperature sensing front mirror,(can't remember what they're called) malfunctioned. Everything was flashing, the temperature mirror kept resetting itself. It was totally freaky.
It just gets me thinking on what's really out there.

Opinions on this?

EDIT: the car was still running for those 5 minutes

If the car was still running that rules out EM interference, so I'd go with magic.

SOAP 2: Aliens on a Plane

haha, not really. But it was proobably just a random blip. If aliens attacked Earth, they wouldn't attack civilians. They'd begin by finding and disabling our most powerful weapons; then they'd fire at the military for a while. Then they'd realize we'd polluted the planet so much it wasn't worth anything to them and leave.

If it's magic, then what explains the big white thing that looked like a UFO fly over us?

Oh, and tested, whats a blip?

You weren't by chance driving from Bermuda, were you?

No, it was somewhere in southern Idaho, I just don't want to say where for confidentiality purposes, but I'll just just I was going to Boise on I-84

Oh, the white thing? A wizard did it.

Blip: random occurence, freak random event.

In all seriousness, it was probably nothing. Could've been some sort of RC plane, even.

By RC do you mean remote control or a boeing rc? 'Cause its not any of those, that's for sure. And I'm pretty skeptical myself.

Remote control. They make pretty fancy RC devices these days, and some idiot could just attach something that would mess up electronics on one.

Was it a huge white object or a huge white light glare? If it was shiny/glarey it could have been a reflection off something or a light that caught just the right way.

It was an obect, and no, I don't think an RC plane would be an an interstate.

One time on the way home from a club (we hadn't been drinking before anyone asks) I saw a big circle of lights in the sky, and it was spinning, but at the same time each light was spinning as well. There was a really big one and a smaller one a little bit further away. I wanted to go investigate but the others just wanted to go home.

That sounds freaky. Wonder if it was a UFO ritual.

It could also have been a test drive for something being developed by the government. It made the electronics malfunction.... Maybe to mess up radars and navigational systems?

Maybe you took a really big detour to Marfa on your way home.

Anyways, about the original post... It's possible it's an RC plane, and if the interstate is close enough to homes or even large open areas, it's entirely possible. I have seen a blimp that is covered in a reflective foil and it goes pretty fast.
