About the observation
One evening in October 1957, at about 23:00, a farm owner and his wife were driving in their car across Store Vildmose (“The Great Wild Bog”), a former ombrotrophic bog area – in fact once the largest of its kind in all of Europe – located in the north of Jutland. Suddenly, they saw an unusually bright glowing object that either flew or drove towards them from a nearby field, moving at a speed that they estimated to be 30-35 km/h. When the car passed by the object on the field at a distance of 50-75 metres, the two witnesses could now see that it was some type of vehicle with two people sitting inside a glass dome. The dome had a strange bluish-green glow.
The farm owner wanted to go closer and investigate the strange vehicle but his wife warned him against doing so. Heeding her advice, he drove away, but very slowly. They then followed the mysterious object from the rear window of their car, seeing it disappear to the north.
