ENGINE, HEADLIGHTS AND RADIO DIES "- Look dad, a helicopter, isn't it low-flying?, my daugther cried out. Seconds later we were sure this was not a helicopter! The strange flying vehicle approached us slowly from a clearing to our right, at an altitude of about 10 meters. At the same moment my engine started to cut and vibrate. About one hundred meters further on, the car stopped completely and the headlights died out. The car radio also went dead. LANDING, GREEN LIGHT, HUMMING SOUND "The flying object passed the roadway ahead of us (distance now about 200 meters). It was still at some 10 meters altitude, but then seemed to land to the left of the road, some 75 meters from the roadway. The landing took place in front of a stack of fire-logs. A large area was lit up by the blinding, green-shimmering light from the object. "Still in our car, we were totally surprised by this unexpected sight. I winded down the side-screen in spite of objections from my wife and children. Now we could hear a sound like that which comes from a swarm of bees. Immediately all of us started to feel uneasy. None said a word for about a minute. My son handed me the pair of binoculars we kept in the back-seat. The flying object's intense, green-shimmering corona gradually dimmed and consequently the size of the area - a radius of some 300 meters - which was bathed in a green luminance, decreased. EGG-SHAPED "Through our 7x50 binoculars I clearly made out an egg-shaped structure, some 10,meters long and a few meters high. The object, which by now was intensely white, had a smooth-surface with no projections of any kind. My excited wife wanted us to leave the place. Several times I tried to start the engine by turning the key, but it wouldn't work. DEAFENING ROAR - "TAKE COVER"! "I must admit that by now I was frightened by this meeting with something supernatural. After a few minutes, despite warnings from wife and children, I left the car. The object seemed to rest, or hover, immediately above the earth's surface. I was just rounding the car, intending to open the bonnet -I did not connect our engine stoppage to the presence of the object when we heard a deafening roar. Believing there was a hazard of an explosion I threw myself down behind the car and cried to my family: "Take cover"! My children and wife, now shaking of fear, rushed out and took cover beside me. Thus we had the body of the car between us and the object. TAKE-OFF "The object took off slowly like a VTOL aircraft and with a rocking motion. Once again it took on its green-shimmering color and the surroundings were lit up. It wobbled slightly and flew off slowly, altitude now some 30 meters, to the same direction as it had come from when we first saw it. It flew with a wave-like motion a few hundred meters, emitting a low, droning sound like the sound of a swarm of bees. A few seconds later it accelerated to an unbelievable speed and disappeared in a thousandth of a second. RE-START WITHOUT TROUBLE "We were alone, speaking all at the same time. I was searching for my binoculars in the dark and found them quickly. Shaken by what we had seen we entered the car and we immediately noted the music playing from the radio. The radio worked and, as I turned the starter-key, our |
