Default Whoa !! what just happened

"ok" I think E T just had a hold on my car.
Car : 95 avenger 5 speed 4 cyl DOHC vin # has a Y in it.
Problem : I think the starter is going, She will lop as you hid the starter like a flat spot for a few tries then she will start.
My story : About an hour ago when i left work i turned key to run position then with trans in 2nd gear i let roll on slight grade and poped the clutch to start car, All seemed to go well.
I drove across parking lot to main building to drop off my shift paperwork, Left car running, then with heater off, lights on, a/c off, raido on and drivers window open about 3 inches headed for home about 10 miles. I got to the 1st traffic light turned right and went about 100 yards when all the lights in the upper left corner of the speedo cluster flashed 3 times, car bucked like a pissed off horse then died. Yes died with not even a light burning right there in the middle of the road, no hazards no nothing like someone just unhooked the battery. Since i was on an incline in the road and midnight with no other car around i let it roll back into a church parking lot. I dug out my flash light to have a look see and when i opened the door and closed it all the lights came back on, I started the car with the key and drove the next 8 miles home with no problem. Ok i'm confused how about you ???. Yes the battery is new if your wondering.

Check your terminals for corrosion especially the white fusible links off of the + terminal
