When it comes to Car UFO abductions like Stanford:

etc.. this one's got to up there as the freakiest of the lot.
First came across it on Michael Aspel's 'Strange But True' TV programme many moons ago and it gives a good intro to the initial UFO sighting, how it affected the two men and the 90 minutes of missing time they experienced.

MOD:
Interesting that the witnesses described a 'curtain' of light descending from the UFO as it's not the first time this has been reported - other aspects like 'abdominal pressure', being in 'complete darkness' after driving through the light and feeling 'physically drained' in the days following the incident also have parallels with other cases.
Below is a pretty comprehensive presentation by Malcolm Robinson including the hypnosis footage and what the two men actually recounted seeing inside the UFO.

The A70 Abduction Case Revisited
In 1992, at around 8pm on a quiet country road on the outskirts of Edinburgh, two ordinary men experienced an extraordinary event that has become enshrined in the annals of Scottish and world UFO mythology. The event, known as the A70 case, was the alleged abduction of the two men by extraterrestrials.
Neither of the two men, Garry Wood and Colin Wright, expected anything out of the ordinary to occur when they set out on the fateful night of the 27th of August 1992. Their journey was from the south of Edinburgh on the A70 to the village of Tarbrax in East Lothian, a drive of some 15 miles.
The journey, which normally takes around 30 minutes, was in connection with a domestic appliance repair. At around 10 pm they drove through the clear summer’s night at about 40 mph chatting about family and other general issues. Rounding a blind corner, in the vicinity of the Harperrig Reservoir, Colin abruptly leaned forward exclaiming, “What the hell’s that?”
Garry peered through the windscreen, there ahead of the car; floating about 20ft above the road was a two-tiered disc-shaped object. He remembers it being about 30 ft wide, wider than the road, smooth, black and shiny with no windows or illumination.
Garry, a motor mechanic by trade, is familiar with mechanical devices and a range of metal finishes, found the appearance and finish of the object unusual.
Wanting to get away as quickly as possible, he floored the accelerator urging their vehicle up to almost 70 mph. In Colin’s words, Garry was “Driving like a bloody madman.” As they passed below the hovering craft a shimmering curtain of light descended on the car, Garry describes it as like looking at a detuned TV set, just flickering lights. Instantly they were enveloped in total, complete darkness.
Later under hypnosis Garry recalled standing (presumably) outside the car, it was still totally and utterly dark, not a hint of light, he could not even see the car; briefly he thought they had crashed and he was dead.
He blacked out for what subjectively felt like a few seconds, then abruptly he was awake and the car was veering all over the road. Garry could hear Colin shouting at him to watch out then thankfully, he was able to bring the car to a stop. They looked at each other in disbelief, what had happened?

]Friends’ UFO abduction claim sparked secret military probe
UFO investigators launched a top-level probe into claims two men were abducted by aliens in the Capital.
The legendary story told by Garry Wood and Colin Wright, who said they were examined by extraterrestrials after their van was ambushed by a flying saucer, is being turned into a film starring Billy Boyd.
But rather than being dismissed at the time as Hollywood fantasy, the 1992 incident was taken seriously enough to be investigated by the Ministry of Defence.
Garry, then a 33-year-old ambulance technician from Edinburgh, was driving a car to Tarbrax, South Lanarkshire, accompanied by Colin, 25.
The classified documents – released today – state that Garry “was driving along the A70 when the object dropped a curtain of white light in front of the car”.
The report continued: “His friend blacked out for what seemed like 10-15 seconds. He thought he had died. When he woke up the car was facing the other direction on the wrong side of the road. When he checked his watch he had lost about one hour.”
It describes the UFO as being 20 feet high and 30 feet wide, and black with no lights, and tells how the claims were reported to police, a doctor, a psychologist and a university.
