1932
Location: 
Greenland

The earliest sighting of a UFO Danish pilots occurred in 1932. Then three seaplane HE-8 was sent to the Eastern coast of Greenland to conduct a photogrammetric survey.

In those days he manned aircraft had no heaters, and the pilots of the insulation suits. Only the brave and hardy ventured to go to the area of the glacier, and many are unable to return.

The pilot during this incident the UFO was Lieutenant Colonel Peter Grunnet. His wingman was Lieutenant Taj Anderson, who in later years became chief of the RDAF, and died in 1961.

We had many adventures flying in primitive conditions in the North, says Grunnet. But nothing compared to this.

Numb from the cold, Grunnet and Anderson were NO-8 mirror above the stretching of the glacier. Suddenly the co-pilot noticed a second shadow pursuing a shadow of a seaplane on the ice.

I looked around and saw something that did not make sense, says Anderson. About a mile flying object followed them. Grunnet lightweight, has launched its throttle. The engines are NOT-8 was grinding and vibrating noise when he forced the aircraft to enter a shallow turn, to better see the alien object.

It was something else, not like aircraft of the period, said Grunnet, Recalling the sighting of a UFO. It was hexagonal, flat, and seemingly made of aluminum or some other metal without fractures on the surface and no rivets. At that time, I had an eerie feeling. I can't explain. Like I felt the presence of someone in this object, and the feeling was hostile. Since then, I realized that the ship was "saucer" and I think it's really a flying saucer.

Original news

The earliest UFO sighting by Danish fliers occurred in 1932 when three H. E. 8 seaplanes were dispatched to the east coast of Greenland to conduct a photogrammetric survey. “In those days, manned aircraft had no heaters, insulation or pressure suits. Only the daring and hardy ventured into the glacier zone in wood and canvas planes, and many failed to return. The pilot during this particular UFO incident was Lt. Col. Peter Grunnet, a supremely rugged figure who lives quietly in retirement today. His copilot was Lt. Tage Anderson, who in later years became Commander-in-Chief of R. D. A. F., and died in 1961. “We had many adventures flying under primitive conditions in the frozen north,” says Grunnet. “But none compared with this.” Huddled under body-length parkas and numbed by the cold, their breath forming clouds of condensation in front of them, Grunnet and Anderson coaxed the trouble-prone H. E. 8 over a mirror like section of sprawling glacier. Suddenly, the copilot spotted a second shadow pursuing the shadow of their seaplane across the ice. “I looked back and saw something that didn’t make sense,” Anderson was quoted. About a mile behind their plane partly obscured by the glare of sun against snow, a flying object was following their flight course. Grunnet eased his throttle forward. The engines of his H. E. 8 gnashed and vibrated noisily as he forced the plane into a shallow turn, to get a better view of the alien object. “It was nothing like flying machines of that period,” Grunnet, recalling the UFO sighting recently during a visit to the U. S. “It was hexagonal, flat, and seemingly made of aluminum or some other metal, with no breaks in the surface and no rivets.” “At the time, I had a spooky feeling. I can’t explain it. It was as if I ‘felt’ the presence of whoever was inside that craft–and the feeling was hostile. In the years since, I’ve realized that the craft was ‘saucer’ shaped, and I believe it really was a flying saucer.”
