On August 13, 1970, Danish senior police officer Ewald Maarup was returning to his home in Knud in a patrol car at about 22: 30 on a country road connecting Kabdrup and Flestrup, near the border between Denmark and Germany, when something unusual happened to him.

About ten kilometers North of the town of Hadersley, the car was flooded with a very bright bluish light, and the car's engine suddenly stopped. The officer tried to contact his police Department using a car radio, but it didn't work at all. It would be if all the electricity in the patrol car disappeared.

Officer Maarup then realized that the temperature inside the car had increased and was continuing to rise rapidly. In his report, he said that he had a feeling that occurs during the hot summer sun when it penetrates through the windshield of a car.

After a moment, it was obvious to him that the bluish light seemed to be fading. Maarup realized that the light was actually surrounding an elliptical, metallic-looking aircraft with a diameter of about 10 meters, which was now rising into the sky.

Maarup noticed that the rise of the ship was not really the only reason for the disappearance of the surrounding light. He realized that the degree of light around the ship decreased, as if the ship was absorbing light into its body from a certain point located in the center of the lower side of the ship, where the light was absorbed, as if it was "sucked" there. This part of the ship seemed to him a well-defined dark part with a diameter that he estimated at one meter. He also saw a protrusion on the underside of objects.

At this time, he remembered that he has a Fujaxa camera, as he usually does, in a police car. He used it and managed to take three pictures of the object. Those that were developed the next day showed nothing but a glimmer of light, without revealing any details.

After a series of events that Maarup estimated to last about five minutes, the ship took off at high speed into the sky. During all events, the device was completely silent.

As soon as the object flew away, the car's engine started again spontaneously, power returned, so that the lights came back on, and the radio started up again.

Maarup then got out of the patrol car to look for clues or evidence of what had happened in the area. He found nothing, but when he touched the car, he noticed that it was hot.

It is very noteworthy that on July 14, 1973, in the same area and around the same time, he saw a UFO of a similar shape over the countryside, when the object flew over the landscape. 

He was able to photograph the object again, but again all six photos were disappointing, showing only a blurry patch of light. He also saw several domed protrusions on the lower side of the object.

Original news

On August 13, 1970, Danish senior police officer Evald Maarup was driving back to his home in Knud, using the patrol vehicle at about 10:30 P.M., on a country road connecting Kabdrup and Flestrup, not far from the border enters Denmark and Germany, when something out of the ordinary happened to him.

At about ten kilometers in the North of the town of Hadersley, the car became bathed in a very powerful bluish light, and the car engine stopped suddenly. The officer tried to communicate with his police station by means of the car’s radio, but it did not function at all. It was if if all the electricity had disappeared of the patrol car.

Officer Maarup then realized that the temperature inside the vehicle had increased, and that it continued to increase quickly. In his report, he stated that he had the feeling that one would have during a hot summer sun when it hits a car’s windshield.

A short moment later, it was obvious to him that the bluish light seemed to be withdrawing. Maarup realized that the light actually surrounded a flying machine of elliptical shape, metallic appearance, and of a diameter of approximately 10 meters, which was now rising in the sky.

Maarup noticed that actually, the rise of the craft was not the only cause of the withdrawal of the light which surrounded it. He realized that the extent of the light around the craft decreased as if the craft was swallowing the light into its body, from a defined point located at the center of the bottom side of the craft, in which the light was engulfed as if it had been sucked into there. This part of the craft appeared clearly delimited to him, by a dark part of a diameter he estimated at one meter. He also saw some protrusion on the underside of the objects (see drawing on the right).

At this time, he remembered that he had a Fujaxa camera at disposal, as he is the rule, in the police car. He used it, and managed to take three snapshots of the object. Those, developed the following day, did not show much more than a gleam of light, without revealing any details.

After the series of events which Maarup estimated the duration of about five minutes, the craft then flew away at high speed in the sky. During all the events, the craft was totally noiseless.

As soon as the object flew away, the car’s engine started again spontaneously, the power went back, so that the lights went back, and the radio functioned again.

Maarup then went out of the patrol car, to look for clues or evidence of the event in the surroundings. He found none, but when he touched the car, he noticed that it had become heated.

Very remarkably, Maarup had a second sighting almost three years to the day after this first encounter. On July 14, 1973, in the same area and at roughly the same time, he saw a similar shaped UFO above the countryside as it passed over the landscape. Once again he was able to take pictures of the object but once again, all the six pictures were disappointing, showing only an indistinct spot of light. He also saw several dome like protrusions on the underside of the object.
