car started and there was nothing wrong with our headlights.

"It took us quite some time to recover. We were completely certain that we had experienced something unique. Coming home, I dialed the number of a fellow officer but changed my mind and put down the receiver. Instead I called the directory enquiry service and got the number of your organization. In view of my position with the military forces I have decided against reporting this incident to the police or military authorities.

"During my years of living I have many times smiled amusedly at stories about flying saucers. Since this incident I (and my family) agree that such objects are for real".

NO TRACES

After an initial 20 minute conversation over the phone I was so intrigued by the case that a meeting was settled for 0930 hours in the morning of the following day (Sunday). My wife and I took our car and visited the family. Accompanied by the officer and his wife we went to the "landing area" at about 1000 hours. Expecting traces in the field I had brought my camera along. Quite mysteriously, however, there were no traces or imprints to be round. Near the roadway we found the button the officer's wife had lost from her coat as she threw herself out of the car. From this position we made measurements of the area. The egg-shaped UFO must have hovered or landed some 80 meters from where the car was parked.

HEADACHES, DIARRHOEA

Before going home, the officer family invited us for a lunch when we had a lively conversation about the incident. In the questionnaire, which arrived about one week later, they reported slight headaches and diarrhea, starting some 30 hours after the sighting. These symptoms remained for three days.

This case must be classified as a genuine encounter with an unidentified flying object.

(This case is number 375 in our SweCat statistical sample.)
