((NUFORC Note: We express our gratitude to Joan Woodward, member of the Mutual UFO Network, and the Fund for UFO Research, for following up on this report, which appears to be a possible hoax. We post Ms. Woodward's brief, follow-up report below: ((BEGIN COPIED REPORT FROM JOAN WOODWARD, MUFON AND FUFOR))The address on this sighting is confused. The street number, street name, and zip code are not compatible. The telephone number was a cell phone and the person did not know anything about the sighting or the witness named in the sighting report.A search of Anywho.com for MD, VA, and DC indicated no listing for the witness and, more interesting, no listing for anyone with that last name. It appears to not be a valid name. A request to the email address with the report has resulted in no response.((END COPIED REPORT))this object in the sky affected the working of my car as long as it was in the skyi was going home from work wiht few associates my car just stalled on one of the stop sighnes and i was surprized as it was a new car. i steped out of the car to look in the hood and i saw i flsh of light reflected from my car i looked up and i saw this long lighted thing which was there for a few seconds and then disapeared i did not think much of the sighting but when it dissapeared my car started by itself wihtout the keys in the ignition.((NUFORC Note: No other reports for this area and date, but this is not the first report of an automobile engine acting in the fashion described here.
