Soap Bubb­le Fever or An Inva­sion of Tele­me­ter Discs?

See­m­ing­ly sen­tient soap bubb­les are among the more curious ele­ments of an alre­a­dy hig­hly stran­ge UFO pheno­menon. They have been sur­pri­sing­ly com­mon in Danish UFO reports, with seve­ral clusters as well as spora­dic sigh­tings over the years. Whi­le “soap bubb­le UFO’s” are defi­ne­te­ly not unheard of out­si­de of Den­mark, they do seem to have fea­tu­red par­ti­cu­lar­ly pro­mi­nent­ly here, for some rea­son — espe­ci­al­ly during the 1960’s and ’70’s.

What wit­nes­ses con­si­stent­ly repor­ted during this peri­od, were: flo­at­ing, trans­pa­rent/­se­mi-trans­pa­rent sphe­res, usu­al­ly in the size ran­ge of a ten­nis ball and upwards, appa­rent­ly moving by their own intel­li­gen­ce, often against the wind, whi­le navi­gat­ing obsta­c­les gra­ce­ful­ly. In many cases the bubb­les dis­ap­pea­red into the sky with gre­at spe­ed. Some­ti­mes, more than one of the­se bubb­les were obser­ved by the same wit­ness.

Danish reports of soap bubb­le UFO’s do howe­ver, in many cases, reve­al a clear con­fir­ma­tion bias. This is due to the fact that many pro­mi­nent ufo­lo­gi­sts in the 1960’s were part of the lar­ger move­ment sur­ro­un­ding Polish-Ame­ri­can con­ta­ctee Geor­ge Adam­ski. Bor­rowing from his ter­mi­no­lo­gy, they would clas­si­fy the­se objects as so-cal­led “tele­me­ter discs”. Accor­ding to Adam­ski, tele­me­ter discs were remo­te con­trol­led sur­veil­lan­ce pro­bes that extra­ter­re­stri­al “spa­ce bro­t­hers” ope­ra­ted from mot­hers­hips orbi­ting the earth. This is a good examp­le of how Adam­ski’s fol­lowers often were for­ced to assign the more erra­tic UFO sigh­tings into ill-fit­ting, pre-exi­sting cate­go­ri­es.

Seve­ral Danish ufo­lo­gi­sts have also clai­med soap bubb­le enco­un­ters of their own. H. C. Peter­sen, foun­der of SUFOI (Scan­di­navi­an UFO Infor­ma­tion) and later the Danish branch of IGAP (Inter­na­tio­nal Get Acquain­ted Pro­gram) and one of the wor­lds most out­s­po­ken pro­po­nents of the Adam­ski School, had one in 1965. Here he tri­ed to establish men­tal com­mu­ni­ca­tion with not only one, but two of the­se objects, in the belief that they were tele­me­ter discs. The fol­lowing year Ensio Slej, ano­t­her ear­ly Danish ufo­lo­gist who subscri­bed to Adam­ski’s tea­chin­gs, had an enco­un­ter with a soap bubb­le UFO in the cen­ter of Copen­ha­gen. He too tri­ed to establish a men­tal link, and from his descrip­tion it seems he suc­ce­e­ded in drawing the bubb­le towards him. More skep­ti­cal min­ded peop­le have also repor­ted enco­un­ters with the­se curious bubb­les. One examp­le is the Danish aut­hor of non-fiction books about UFO’s and the para­nor­mal, Jens Lai­gaard, who had a sigh­ting of one when he was a child.

A chro­no­lo­gy of Danish soap bubb­le cases

The fol­lowing is a chro­no­lo­gi­cal list of the Danish cases we know of, invol­ving flying, soap bubb­le-like pheno­me­na.

April 24, 1959. Just befo­re 16:00 hrs, a makes­hift UFO detector, instal­led by the owner of a manor in the South of Zealand, star­ted buzzing. A coup­le minu­tes later, two of the peop­le living in the manor saw a sphe­ri­cal UFO tra­vel across the sky for approxi­ma­te­ly 20 seconds. One of the two wit­nes­ses descri­bed the UFO as a metal­lic, shin­ing sphe­re, but the other said it resem­b­led a soap bubb­le with a solid core.

August 19, 1962. a Mr. F. Aabin was on holi­day in Skæls­kør when he from Vester­ga­de approx. at 11.00 noon, saw a round, blu­ish object high up betwe­en the clouds. The object most of all had the cha­ra­cter of a soap bubb­le and, accor­ding to the wit­ness, was certain­ly not a bal­loon. It was the size of a pin­he­ad, mea­su­red by out­stret­ched arm.

Janu­ary 29, 1963. Chri­sti­an Lyng­gaard snap­ped three pho­tos of a “soap bubb­le” in dif­fe­rent sta­ges of tran­si­tion.

On the first pho­to, the object had just moved in from the left at a distan­ce of 4 meters

In the second pho­to, the object has tur­ned mil­ky whi­te and star­ted to pul­sa­te whi­le having moved wit­hin a distan­ce of one meter of Lyng­gaard

Final­ly, the object again beca­me trans­pa­rent and resu­med its ori­gi­nal tra­jectory near the buil­ding

Short­ly the­re­af­ter it ascen­ded into the air and dis­ap­pea­red. The who­le obser­va­tion lasted 85 seconds.

May 4, 1963. From Her­ning, a wit­ness giving his name as “Mr. M. B.” saw a soap bubb­le-like object, 10 cm in dia­me­ter, move across the sky about 100 meters away. It hap­pe­ned some time betwe­en 16:00 and 17:00. M. B. repor­ted the soap bubb­le keepi­ng a ste­a­dy tra­jectory and flying against the wind, despi­te it blowing heavily out­si­de. The object pas­sed the wit­ness at about a 5 meter distan­ce, 3 meters above the gro­und, and at a spe­ed that the wit­ness esti­ma­ted to be about 8 km/hr.

June 22 or 23, 1965. In the late after­noon pro­mi­nent ufo­lo­gist H. C. Peter­sen was wri­ting on an arti­c­le, when he felt a sud­den urge to look out of the win­dow. About 200 meters away he saw what at first loo­k­ed like a lump of dan­de­li­on down car­ri­ed by the wind. When look­ing through his bino­cu­lars, howe­ver, Peter­sen saw that it was a solid, soap bubb­le-like object, that he deter­mi­ned to be the size of a ten­nis ball. It was about 20 meters above the gro­und and moving effort­les­s­ly from south towards north at about 30 km/hr, despi­te a western wind blowing about 6 knots. After a minu­te, the UFO rose to a flight alti­tu­de of 50 (in ano­t­her arti­c­le he clai­med it to be 100–200) meters and flew towards the near­by Vær­lø­se Air­fi­eld. 20–30 seconds after the soap bubb­le dis­ap­pea­red, ano­t­her one appea­red look­ing exa­ct­ly like the first one, tra­vel­ling the same cour­se. He and his wife also tri­ed to com­mu­ni­ca­te men­tal­ly with the objects, but to no avail.

In his ori­gi­nal acco­unt, Peter­sen men­tio­ned that he sub­sequent­ly paid a visit to the only hou­se in rea­so­nab­le distan­ce from whe­re the objects had flown. The resi­dents here had sta­ted that they had seen not­hing and that they had not been blowing soap bubb­les. In a later acco­unt, Peter­sen said that the first soap bubb­le dis­ap­pea­red betwe­en some figh­ter jets, and the second dis­ap­pea­red whi­le moving against the wind.

Some time during the mid 1960’s a mem­ber of BUFOC (Born­holms UFO Club), Tom Peder­sen, was wal­king on Fre­de­riks­sunds­vej in Brøns­høj, when he noti­ced what at first loo­k­ed like a regu­lar soap bubb­le resting up against a buil­ding wall. Almost imme­di­a­te­ly afterwards, it flew over his head and down the stre­et, whe­re it dis­ap­pea­red after about half a minu­te. Peder­sen later wro­te about his expe­ri­en­ce to the afor­men­tio­ned H.C. Peter­sen, who replied that “the tele­me­ter disc defi­ne­te­ly “was the­re becau­se he was” and hin­ted that it might have been col­lecting data of some kind. We do not know whet­her this sigh­ting suc­ce­ded or pre­ce­ded H.C. Peter­sen’s sigh­ting from Vær­lø­se.

Sum­mer, 1966. Poli­ce Detecti­ve and UFO ent­hu­si­ast Ensio Slej was wal­king along Gl. Strand in Cen­tral Copen­ha­gen, in the direction of the town hall. The weat­her was clear and free of clouds, but a bit win­dy. Slej was just past the par­li­a­ment buil­ding when he saw what loo­k­ed like a soap bubb­le the size of a ten­nis ball, about 3 meters above stre­et level. It was split along the mid­dle with a clear line of demarca­tion, one half being blu­ish but trans­pa­rent, the other look­ing like it was fil­led with smo­ke. It flew over the canal towards a par­ked car, and dis­ap­pea­red under­ne­ath it. Slej con­ti­nu­ed wal­king for a whi­le, when the oddi­ty of the sigh­ting struck him: this was no ordi­nary soap bubb­le. It was too lar­ge, and stran­ge look­ing. Also it see­med out of pla­ce. He then thought to him­self, it might be a tele­me­ter disc. He slo­wed his pace and star­ted to men­tal­ly pro­ject: “if you are a soap bubb­le, then you will be gone by now. But if you are a tele­me­ter disc, then fly towards me and stop in front of me so i can see you.” Slej then stop­ped and tur­ned aro­und, and saw the bubb­le com­ing towards him at gro­und level, stop­ping about 3 meters away from him and then ascen­ding to eye level. Here it stay­ed motionless in the air, befo­re flying towards ano­t­her car. It star­ted to gli­de along this car’s anten­na befo­re flying off, up betwe­en the tram line wires.

Sep­tem­ber, 1967. A woman from Fal­ko­ner­gårds­vej, Fre­de­riks­berg, who gave her name as only E. H, had troub­le sle­epi­ng one beau­ti­ful moon­lit night. She rose up from her bed at 23:00 and loo­k­ed out the win­dow. Here she saw a 30 cm wide object, that loo­k­ed like a soap bubb­le, des­cen­ding with ligh­t­ning spe­ed from the sky down to her gar­den. The soap bubb­le stop­ped and hove­red near a lar­ge pear tree, approxi­ma­te­ly 8–9 meters from her win­dow. E.H. could see the stre­et lights reflect upon the sur­face of the object. After a coup­le minu­tes the bubb­le see­med to beco­me more pear-like in its sha­pe, and then dis­ap­pea­red. E.H. said she had no idea whet­her the bubb­le flew away or if it burst.

Sep­tem­ber 27, 1967. A man by the name F. M. Peter­sen was wal­king aro­und in the gar­den of a hou­se in Sæd­ding, toget­her with his youn­ger bro­t­her. Sud­den­ly they saw what they thought was a lar­ge soap bubb­le, about 10 cm in dia­me­ter, near the hed­ge. It flew horizon­tal­ly across the lawn at the spe­ed of the wind, 2 meters above the gro­und. Soon after ano­t­her one appea­red, fol­lowing the same cour­se as the pre­vious one. The boys now tri­ed to grab it, but just as they were wit­hin its reach it chan­ged its cour­se dra­ma­ti­cal­ly, going almost direct­ly upwards into the sky until it was out of sight. The bro­t­hers did not find any­o­ne near­by who could have been respon­sib­le for blowing soap bubb­les.

From late 1967 we have ano­t­her case from Fre­de­riks­sunds­vej, this time on the stretch of road betwe­en Husum and Her­lev. A man was wai­ting for the bus, when at some point he loo­k­ed to the sidewalk and saw what loo­k­ed like a soap bubb­le, about 3 meters away. It came rol­ling towards him over the bicyc­le path, even­tu­al­ly com­ing to a stands­till at his feet. It then made its way over the road whi­le cars were dri­ving back and forth, but inste­ad of being hit and bursting, it ascen­ded up into the air until it was at an alti­tu­de of 3–4 meters, then des­cen­ding again when the road was clear. It repe­a­ted this act of eva­sion seve­ral times. The bubb­le even­tu­al­ly beca­me still at about 1 meter above the gro­und, and stay­ed that way for about 5 seconds. Then it ascen­ded up into the air, until it was out of sight. The wit­ness was certain it could not have been a soap bubb­le, as soap bubb­les tend to shine in dif­fe­rent col­ors, whi­le this was com­ple­te­ly col­or­less in its trans­pa­ren­cy. Also the bubb­le had been com­ple­te­ly unaf­fected by the wind during the who­le thing.

Some time pri­or to May 1968. A mem­ber of the now defun­ct orga­niza­tion FUFOS (Fre­de­riks­berg UFO Stu­di­e­kreds) was riding his moped, when he saw a whi­tish “somet­hing” fly past him. The object then retur­ned and flew back towards him again, this time so slo­wly that he could get a bet­ter look at it. It loo­k­ed like an almost com­ple­te­ly trans­pa­rent soap bubb­le. The bubb­le con­ti­nu­ed over his head until it rea­ched the hed­ge of a gar­den, whe­re it stood still for a moment whi­le pul­sat­ing. Then, with an abrupt jump it ascen­ded up towards the sky at a very high velo­ci­ty. The enti­re obser­va­tion lasted no lon­ger than 20 seconds.

May, 1968. A resi­dent of Åbou­le­var­den, Copen­ha­gen, named Knud, felt com­pel­led to look out his cor­ner apart­ment win­dow facing the stre­et Blå­gårds­ga­de. From here he saw what appea­red to be a soap bubb­le, 12–14 cen­ti­me­ters in dia­me­ter, stan­ding com­ple­te­ly still in front of a cars head­lights. The sigh­ting lasted about 30 seconds, until the traf­fic light tur­ned gre­en and the cars star­ted dri­ving. At this point the bubb­le imme­di­a­te­ly ascen­ded and hove­red above the dri­ving cars for a short whi­le, befo­re dis­ap­pea­ring at a spe­ed that the wit­ness esti­ma­ted to be approxi­ma­te­ly 40 km/h.

July, 1968. From his sum­mer resi­den­ce in Tam­d­rup Beach (east of Hader­s­lev) Gun­nar Stol­ten­borg obser­ved a sound­less, trans­pa­rent sphe­re 30 meters away, hove­ring near a line of tre­es. He descri­bed it as look­ing pret­ty much like a lar­ge soap bubb­le. After a whi­le it ascen­ded, until it could no lon­ger be seen. The sigh­ting hap­pe­ned at the same time as a lar­ger tri­ang­le-sha­ped UFO was obser­ved rela­ti­ve­ly near­by. The wit­ness felt that the­re must have been a con­nection betwe­en the two, and that the soap bubb­le was per­haps a sort of recon­nais­san­ce devi­ce (i.e. a tele­me­ter disc)

Late July, 1970. News­pa­pers began car­rying a seri­es of arti­c­les about a man who had come into pos­ses­sion of a small, sphe­ri­cal object. He had found it on the beach at Blok­hus, on the west coast of Vend­sy­s­sel, whi­le wal­king with his wife one day. Certain that that the object had fal­len from the ski­es, he went to the local UFO orga­niza­tion, whe­re it was deter­mi­ned that it was a tele­me­ter disc. In seve­ral arti­c­les the object is cal­led a soap bubb­le, but when rea­ding the actu­al descrip­tion of the object, it does not match other cases of clear-cut, soap bubb­le-like objects. This was much smal­ler, and very dif­fe­rent in cha­ra­cter. Nevert­he­less this under­li­nes the widespre­ad ten­den­cy to equa­te the notion of tele­me­ter discs with soap bubb­les, now also in the press.

April, 1971. One day at aro­und 10.00 in the mor­ning, a far­mer named Arne Skjold­mo­se was har­rowing his field near Sør­by­mag­le in western Zealand, when a soap bubb­le-like object caught his atten­tion. It appea­red about 50 meters from his tra­ctor, moving at a very slow but jag­ged pace along the gro­und. It struck Skjold­mo­se that it was moving direct­ly against the wind. The object con­ti­nu­ed until it was only 5 meters from him, when it sud­den­ly ele­va­ted itself about to about 2 or 3 meters and con­ti­nu­ed horizon­tal­ly in the direction of the tra­ctor. The asto­nis­hed far­mer ope­ned the tra­ctor door to look as it was pas­sing above him, so clo­se that he could almost have tou­ched it. When it had pas­sed the tra­ctor, it des­cen­ded to its ori­gi­nal distan­ce off the gro­und and con­ti­nu­ed along. Up clo­se, he saw that the object was the size of a ten­nis ball, mat­tish grey or mil­ky whi­te with a slight trans­pa­ren­cy, and so akin to a soap bubb­le that he was expecting it to burst at any moment. No sound came from the object. Skjold­mo­ses sigh­ting was from 1971, but came out in 1974 at a time of mas­si­ve UFO repor­ting from this area of Den­mark. News­pa­pers made men­tion of the con­cept of tele­me­ter discs in rela­tion to the sigh­ting and also prin­ted an acco­unt of ano­t­her obser­va­tion Skjold­mo­se had, years ear­li­er.

Novem­ber 26, 1973. At about 00:45 hrs, an obser­ver on Guld­bergs­ga­de in Copen­ha­gen repor­ted four glowing, round objects flying from the sout­hwest at 60 degre­es height over the horizon. The obser­ver descri­bed the objects as having a blue glow to them and resem­bling soap bubb­les, or being like polis­hed ste­el. The­se objects were flying in a squa­re for­ma­tion and each were about the size of a to-kro­ne (a now defun­ct coin) held at arm’s length, tel­ling us that they were qui­te a lot lar­ger than the avera­ge soap bubb­le. The wit­ness descri­bed them as com­ple­te­ly silent.

August 15, 1979. At aro­und 7.00 in the mor­ning, a man named Pre­ben Høg­berg was dri­ving in his Fiat 600 from Copen­ha­gen to Jæger­spris, along with three pas­sen­gers. Høg­berg sud­den­ly saw a soap bubb­le in the lower left cor­ner of the car winds­hield. The weat­her was very win­dy, and he was dri­ving on open ter­rain with no pede­stri­ans to be seen anywhe­re, so Høg­berg won­de­red whe­re the soap bubb­le had come from. He asked the pas­sen­gers if they had seen it, but they rea­cted as if he was cra­zy. Høg­berg descri­bed the object as a glowing trans­pa­rent/­purp­le-ish sphe­re, 10 cm in dia­me­ter. The obser­va­tion only lasted about 3–4 seconds.

Illu­stra­tion of the above obser­va­tion

Some time during the 1970s. Later-to-be aut­hor of UFO and para­nor­mal books, Jens Lai­gaard, obser­ved a Soap Bubb­le-like object when he was 12 years old. Lai­gaard tal­ked about the epi­so­de to a news­pa­per in 1990, but did not give any spe­ci­fic details.

Com­men­tary

If we look objecti­ve­ly at the above cases, and the 20-year fra­mework they have been repor­ted wit­hin, then we can note a few pat­terns and con­si­stent details that are worth hig­hligh­ting.

We can start by roug­hly divi­ding the cases into the fol­lowing two cate­go­ri­es:

1) Obser­va­tions invol­ving “key obser­vers” who clear­ly belie­ved that the objects they saw were tele­me­ter discs, and who did not hide this belief.

2) Obser­va­tions invol­ving (appa­rent­ly) more ran­dom obser­vers who did not have — or at least did not express — any spe­ci­fic views on what the objects might be.

Of cour­se, we can not be qui­te sure about the boun­da­ri­es of this distri­bu­tion. But we can see that the first soap bubb­le UFO obser­va­tions take pla­ce many years befo­re the coup­ling with tele­me­ter discs, so the­re is no doubt about what came first. It was not until the mid-1960s that H.C. Peter­sen began cate­go­rizing soap bubb­le objects as tele­me­ter discs, and even had his own obser­va­tion, that we begin see­ing cases invol­ving ufo­lo­gi­sts and other spa­ces­hip-belie­ving indi­vi­du­als.

In terms of con­tent, we can also with rea­so­nab­le certain­ty con­clu­de that the­re are some of the obser­va­tions that do not invol­ve the same type of pheno­menon that we see in the “pure” soap bubb­le clo­se enco­un­ter cases. In fact, we can not even real­ly put all of the­se in a com­mon “other” cate­gory, as they each are com­ple­te­ly dif­fe­rent too. They are nevert­he­less inclu­ded in our chro­no­lo­gy becau­se the wit­nes­ses them­sel­ves made an asso­ci­a­tion with soap bubb­les, and in order to tra­ce the afore­men­tio­ned deve­l­op­ment of the juxta­po­si­tion betwe­en soap bubb­les and tele­me­ter discs in the ufo­lo­gi­cal discour­se. In addi­tion, seve­ral of the­se “diver­gent cases” are very dif­fi­cult to assess, as they often deal with objects seen from a long distan­ce. Distan­ce asses­sment, even with clear fra­mes of refe­ren­ce, is always based on esti­ma­tes from wit­nes­ses, and in gene­ral we humans do not have the sen­sory appa­ra­tus to make par­ti­cu­lar­ly good jud­g­ments in that area. Furt­her­more, it is very dif­fi­cult to imag­i­ne that one can come up with cor­rect, detai­led descrip­tions, of objects at such a long distan­ce. There­fo­re, the­se cases must be taken with some reser­va­tion.

As for the clo­se con­ta­ct cases, it is a com­ple­te­ly dif­fe­rent story. Here we get a clear sen­se that the wit­nes­ses have obser­ved the same pheno­menon. It is real­ly inte­r­e­sting how many of the same “behavi­or pat­terns” recur in the dif­fe­rent obser­va­tions, espe­ci­al­ly in terms of move­ment, rea­ction and the way the bubb­les dis­ap­pear. On the other hand, the­re is a dif­fe­ren­ce in the sizes of the objects from case to case, whe­re the smal­lest are refer­red to as in the vici­ni­ty of a ten­nis ball, and the lar­gest as a whop­ping 30 cm in dia­me­ter. But this spe­aks neit­her for nor against the bubb­les as, respecti­ve­ly, natu­ral­ly occuring pheno­me­na or arti­fi­ci­al­ly con­structed objects.

The­re are seve­ral of the cases that one could easily wri­te off as wis­h­ful thin­king, or per­haps even fabri­ca­ted. The idea of ​​over­grown soap bubb­les as being extra­ter­re­stri­al dro­nes, with which one can even establish tele­pat­hic con­ta­ct, seems real­ly bizar­re and helps to give many of the cases more than a tin­ge of nai­ve­ty. May­be that’s why they have not been the sub­ject of serious stu­dy here by ufo­lo­gi­sts. Ano­t­her good rea­son could be that they seem to have dis­ap­pea­red again by the end of the 1970s. In any case, soap bubb­les are no lon­ger men­tio­ned in UFO reports after that time. And sin­ce actu­al soap bubb­les are still rea­so­nably well-known and widespre­ad, the fra­me of refe­ren­ce should still be an obvious one to make.

If you put on the Adam­ski glas­ses, it could per­haps be argu­ed that the soap bubb­les have long sin­ce been “upgra­ded” and now belong in the pile of discon­ti­nu­ed tele­me­ter disc models. But if one leans toward them being a natu­ral pheno­menon, then why are they no lon­ger repor­ted? One pos­si­bi­li­ty is that the­re are some circum­stan­ces for their phy­si­cal cre­a­tion that are no lon­ger pre­sent. But what exa­ct­ly the­se should be is hard to say, sin­ce we do not know what they bubb­les are to begin with. Peop­le like Tre­vor James Con­stab­le and Ivan T. San­der­son once argu­ed for the pos­si­bi­li­ty that some UFOs could be a kind of orga­nic, self-conscious orga­nism that has not yet been discove­red by sci­en­ce. It is inte­r­e­sting to think about in the con­te­xt of soap bubb­le cases, but it must — at least for now — remain specu­la­tion.
