Danish Defense Command: 'Flying Saucer Traffic Over Scandinavia of Immense Aero-Technical Interest'
A CIA IFDRB from July 13, 1953 quoted the Danish Defense Command: 'Flying saucer traffic over Scandinavia was of immense aero-technical interest.' Karup Air Field personnel and Norwegian anti-aircraft units reported UFOs.
Background
On the 13th of July, 1953, an IFDRB copied from the Stockholm daily included the proclamation: 'Danish Defense Leaders Take Serious View of Flying Saucers.' Reports from trained observers and Danish Air Force radar of unknowns over Denmark and adjacent waters had led the military to suspect they originated from Soviet bases in the Arctic Ocean.
The same week, an officer and seven others at Karup Air Field observed an aerial object basically resembling an aircraft but moving faster than anything known. More recently, the crew of a Norwegian anti-aircraft battery had observed an unknown at great height. A jet aircraft sent to investigate could not reach the unknown before it 'disappeared at a terrific speed.' The Danish Defense Command remarked that the 'flying saucer traffic' over Scandinavia was of immense aero-technical interest.
