Fair point mate and in virtually all these cases the EM effects (if that's what they are) stopped directly after the object departed - there's also speculation that exotic plasmas can cause hallucinations upon the human consciousness but suppose physical trace evidence: broken tree limbs, dehydrated soil, radar confirmation etc. makes the purely imaginary hypothesis untenable.
If we take this case from the Levelland flap then it's worth pointing out that the USAF completely ignored the alleged presence of the object and instead just claimed that everything was due to 'an electrical storm which stimulated the populace into a high level of excitement'.
Trouble was (as atmospherical physicist Dr James E. McDonald pointed out) there had been no storm in the area at the time and 'thus no source of excessive moisture to interfere with the automobiles' electrical systems'.
Quote:November 6th, 1957 - Santa Fe, Texas.
Residents J. Martinez and A. Galegoz were driving down the highway and witness an 'egg shaped object with red, green and yellow lights' approaching them at a very low altitude.
The unknown object came directly over their car and illuminated the entire area with 'a great glow' - a loud humming noise was also reported.
Car engine dies and both their wristwatches stop working.

Really interesting phenomenon though (especially motor vehicle cases) and am open to discussing all explanations that account for all aspects.
Some already posted in the thread but below are some further links on motor vehicle EM effects:

Also, some of the official USAF UFO debunks are complete bollocks so if you have any views (or know of any other examples) then please post.
