Kastrup, Denmark: Policeman Confronts 30-Foot Metallic Disc, Engine and Lights Fail
At 10:50 p.m. in Kastrup, Denmark, a policeman in his cruiser confronted a metallic disc, 30 feet in diameter, hovering 60 feet overhead. It cast a blue-white beam on the vehicle; the engine and lights failed and the body's metal heated. The beam retracted 'slowly, as if it were a solid,' and the cruiser restarted.
Background
At 10:50 p.m. in Kastrup, Denmark, a policeman in his cruiser confronted a metallic disc, 30 feet in diameter, that stopped and hovered 60 feet overhead. When it cast a blue-white beam on the vehicle, the engine and lights failed and the body's metal heated. Momentarily the beam retracted — slowly, as if it were a solid. As the disc departed, the cruiser's lights came back on and the engine easily restarted.
