Background

Between 11:00 p.m. and midnight ten firemen and their chief observed two flying saucers over The Hague, Netherlands. The objects were seen in the clear night air at a high altitude. They moved at great speed, at times remaining motionless for as long as 30 seconds, and were described as flat ovals with a whitish-gray light. All witnesses agreed that the objects were neither aircraft nor balloons. De Telegraaf reported the sighting on August 6, 1954. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
