One finds in a Californian newspaper information coming from Copenhagen, Denmark, according to which farmer Christian Sandersen and his wife said to have seen two flying saucers, one passing above the roof the farm, the other landing in their yard court and disaggregating in less than one minute in thousands of sparks. It is said that the saucer had a shining light at its bottom of transparent aspect and "flew a red ribbon".
In an Italian "Nazi saucers" book, the case is that according to the local press, on February 18, 1950, in Zealand, Denmark, Christian Sandersen, owner of a small patch of ground on the East coast, saw two flying saucers flying by night several miles out on the sea. One flew high, the other only at 500 meters, seemingly hesitating on the course to take and coming down to 150 meters. The higher saucer allegedly joined it, and after several minutes, flew away, while the other burst into a blinding ball of flames.
A similar but later and briefer version considers the case is a UFO crash and indicates that the saucer had landed before exploding.
Lastly, a Danish source gives a version which is said to come from Marie, Sandersen's wife, quite different, since the first "saucer" is a 50 centimeters red bar, and the second, no bigger, is said to have hovered within a few meters of the bedroom window of the couple, illuminating the room, and instead of exploding it disappeared "as if one had switched the light off."
In addition to major divergences between the available sources, it is quite amazing that the case entered a catalogue of "encounters with humanoids", as none is reported.

[Ref. lh1:] LOS ANGELES HERALD-EXPRESS:
Flying Saucer Disintegrates Into SparksCopenhagen, Denmark. -- Farmer Christian Sandersen and his wife said that they saw two flying saucers. One passed over the roof the farmhouse. The other landed in the yard and in less than a minute, it disintegrated into thousands of flowing sparks. The saucer had a light shining through its apparently transparent bottom and flew a red ribbon. |
[Ref. rv1:] RENATO VESCO:
The authors claim early flying saucer technology came from Nazi Germany, and secret communities in South America and Antarctica.
They indicate that on February 18, 1950, in Sjaelland, Denmark, Christian Sandersen, owner of a small plot of land on the East coast, reported to the Press that he saw two flying saucers flying by night several miles out to sea. He said:
"When I saw them, the first was proceeding at very high altitude. the other, however, was flying at about 1500 feet and seemed hesitant about what course to take. It was going back and forth and spinning furiously as it climbed, then it slowed down its motor, descending to about 500 feet. The disc at the higher altitude had meanwhile stopped and seemed to be waiting. After a few moments during which it as motionless, it descended rapidly and brought itself almost in contact with the other; it remained in that position for several minutes, then it rose again and disappeared. A few seconds later, the 'hesitant' disc exploded in a blinding ball of flames that seemed to consume the whole thing".
The authors say that the local Press gave no credence to Sandersen's report.

Kevin Randle indicates that on February 18, 1950, in Copenhagen, Denmark, farmer Christian Sandersen and his wife claimed to have seen two flying saucers over their farmhouse. One saucer stayed airborne while the other landed and disintegrated into thousands of brightly glowing sparks. Little more is known about this particular crash report.
[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:
Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Copenhagen, Denmark, on February 18, 1950 at an unknown time, farmer Christian Sandersen and his wife claimed to have seen two flying saucers over their farmhouse. One saucer stayed airborne while the other landed and disintegrated into thousands of brightly glowing sparks. Apparently nothing was found at the site and little more is known about this particular case.
Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "Kevin D Randle, A History of UFO Crashes".
[Ref. ww1:] WILLY WEGNER:
The author indicates that Danish reports occasionally went abroad, like that of February 1950 by Marie Sandersen from Vester Nebel, north of Kolding, whose story reads as follows:
|
"There were a strong and sudden wind. My husband had just gone to bed. It was probably towards 08:30 p.m., and I was by the window. Then, something occurred. Initially there was a red bar of approximately a half meter in length and 15 centimeters in thickness right outside the window. It disappeared. The next moment came the saucer from the south-eastern direction. It was approximately a half-meter in diameter with a clear, deep and curbed bottom. It had a yellow edge of approximately 10 centimeters, then, just against this edge, a fine black line which was perhaps no more than a half-centimeter wide. Inside these lines on the sides of the saucer, at the very bottom, there were a quantity of red dots of various forms and sizes, and through the saucer was a red line approximately 1 inch broad." |
After this detailed description, Marie Sandersen tells that the saucer was very close - no more than a few meters from the window. It was completely motionless there in a vertical position, without a noise. Her husband, Christian Sandersen could even see the imposing sight of the saucer with the eyes closed. The room was lit as by sunny weather. Suddenly, the light disappeared, just like if a switch had been turned off.
In spite of the fear the couple went to the back yard to see whether there were traces of the saucer, but they did not find anything.
[Ref. ud1:] "UFODNA" WEBSITE:
The web site says that on 18 February 1950 in Copenhagen, Denmark, "Farmer Christian Sandersen and his wife claimed to have seen two flying saucers over their farmhouse. One saucer stayed airborne while the other landed and disintegrated into thousands of brightly glowing sparks. Little more is known about this particular crash report."
The source is a broken link.
In addition to major divergences between the available sources, it is quite amazing that the case entered a catalogue of "encounters with humanoids", as none is reported.
The given date of "February 18, 1950" might be the date of the report in the local press rather than the date of the alleged sighting.
About the place: Vester Nebel, Kolding, is not in Zealand. Copenhagen was the place from where the news spread to the US, not the place of sighting.
