Rinkerode, Germany: Projectionist sees four small figures repairing spindle-shaped craft
On the evening of October 9, 1954, movie projectionist Willi Hoge, driving home near Rinkerode, North Rhine-Westphalia, saw a blue light and four small figures apparently repairing a spindle-shaped machine.
Background
In the evening Willi Hoge was driving home from his job as a movie projectionist in Rinkerode (now part of Drensteinfurt), North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany, when he saw a blue light to one side of the road. Looking closer, he saw four small figures with big heads and chests and small, thin legs, apparently doing repair work on a spindle-shaped machine. All of them wore one-piece elastic body suits. Harold T. Wilkins (1955) and Loren E. Gross (history of October 1954) report the case. 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.
