Background

At 7:20 p.m. an engineer, his wife and his daughter were driving toward Nurmijärvi, Finland, when a 6-foot oval with clear black contours and a light-colored center flew silently in front of them. It moved from right to left within 5–10 seconds before vanishing. Eberhart cites the "Foreign Forum" column in the International UFO Reporter of October/November 1978. 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.
