Soesterberg, Netherlands
Fog. Large metallic saucer. 5' tall figures exit and enter. Traces. Went rapidly to the southwest.
An object was observed from a car. Gravity effects were noted. Traces found. One luminous disc, about 150 feet across, was observed by one male witness in a rural area for 45 minutes. A humming sound was heard.
The witness was roused from sleep by a loud humming sound and saw a light coming in the window. Looking out, he saw a blinding white light surrounded by a "fog," and thought that his car was on fire. He ran out, started the car; he found himself in deserted moorland, and stopped; at that time, a "human like figure" ran past the car from the rear. "Suddenly, it vanished." He got out of the car and saw on the ground to his left a lens shaped object about 100 feet wide, surrounded by a greenish glow. The light issued from windows in the object and three beams shone upward from it. In one of the windows he could see a human like being. Approaching to within 10-12 feet, he saw this figure motion to him to go back. The figure was 5-5"4" tall, wore a tight fitting coverall of metallic appearance that had a belt with a tube that ran to his collar, had almond shaped eyes and seemed to be smiling. Behind him was a sort of instrument panel. Several other humanoid figures were seen standing behind other windows. Then the object "jumped" from the ground, "floated" for 30 feet, and then was "hurled away" with a scraping sound.
