The story: A village named zuztendorf near pfaffenhoffen, these roads that leads in the day when i drive nothing happens, but when i drive their around 2 a.m., 2:30 am even 00 a.m. there things hapen I can not explain :. I have the chills, I anguish and car shows a battery problem, and its as if the car would have small voltage drops in its electronics.

I do not know at all what to think about it but it is very rare that I meet other drivers by these winding and all dark roads.

Discussion:

I do not know what to think of this either. If it really does happen there, in any case, I do not see a connection with the UFO question.

Evaluation:

Probably not UFO-related.
