Hi PF, hope you are well my friend.
… As to the Coyne Helicopter [Mansfield Incident] I can't recall that thread in which someone [creepygreenlight?] made any kind of compelling case [or credible as you say] for anything other than the ETH in that case... let alone 'a refuelling exercise' that for some prosaic reason managed to have the effect of looking like a and then and then and then being able to also fool the several witnesses on the ground into thinking that they had seen the very same thing as the helicopter crew had seen. … Clever refuelling craft eh?... well, I suppose the powerful red and green beams of light that were seen by everyone [even a lady in bed a couple of miles away reported being disturbed by them streaming through her bedroom windows] were in fact powerful hallucinatory beams being tested by the mad boffins , … acceptable if you are of a bent that there is always a 'prosaic explanation to these things' … even if a little strange seeming?! … but not for me mate, … have another look at what you are willing to consider for an answer in need to reject the most obvious explanation …

… btw PF, are you saying that Quantanilla's "a refuelling operation" or the "planet Venus" is reasonable, and not A Highly Dubious Explanation in the Wayne City Car Chase case that I presented?...
… as to the EM effects on automobiles … I get what you are saying, but it's really a factor of UFO encounters that has been consistently reported on throughout ufological studies and not just a side note in 'some old cases'. There are dedicated collators and field researchers that have dedicated their careers to researching just this aspect of the genre. … here are a couple of them doing just that in a interesting 2009 ce2-case, they are Chuck Modlin, the Chief Technical Advisor, accompanied by Vicki LeBlanc. … Modlin has a lifetime of professional experience working with, among many other things, cutting edge radar, lasers, missiles, and telemetry systems. [so no technophobe eh!] and Richard Lang, who runs the STAR team [ Rapid Response UFO Investigation Unit that was funded by a special program within MUFON known as the SIP Project. funded by Robert Bigelow] …

… Do you really think that these guys "wouldn't think to look"? … I think that they might just be efficient enough at their chosen vocations to "have thought" … could be wrong as always, but surely the guys that are paid to be 'up-to-date and on top of these things' .... are.
Cheers Buddy.
