Background

Merchant Hans Haugaard Hansen was driving out of Gesten, Denmark, on the road to Egholt when he saw a triangular object moving low over a field some 300 to 600 feet away. It emitted a red or orange light and made no sound. The bottom of the object was solid and the upper part transparent, and he could see two figures inside. He stopped the car and watched it move at about 40 mph. Similar objects were seen at Jordrup and Vorbasse, and Lt. Col. Hans-Christian Petersen of the Danish Air Force took the reports seriously. 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.
