Sounds to me like you've got a mouse falling asleep on your alternator
output connections. He gets electrified, bounces around a bit, electrified
again, and then is tossed out.
Why he keeps setting up camp in your airplane after every flight, given the
rude awakening delivered later, I have no idea.

It sounds like you're putting a live bird with metal in the microwave?
