An excellent and unbiased summary at the end, especially the point that, although an impressive an unusually looking (in the extreme) craft, with vertical take-off capability...you wouldn't be confident of getting to Mars in it. (much like the craft seen by Zamora.)<br /><br />Certainly other characteristics of the craft seem strange too, ie, when he describes it taking off.<br /><i>"According to his accounts in Nacht-Depesche, Linke said that „a powerful cold airstream came from the object, which caused the grain in a neighboring field to flatten down.“</i><br />You'd think that while taking off, with flames present, any "airstreams" coming from it would be warm (even hot) rather than cold??? <br /><br />Plenty of other questions arise from this link...but this passage has me scratching my head. <br /><br /><i>""„It is difficult to say whether the two forms who stood in front of the object and then flew off were men. I would say they could also have been other creatures since (their) (manner of) locomotion was a glide, similar to that of bears.“</i><br /><br />What does this mean? I usually presume a bear wanting to get from A to B quickly would run on "all fours"..and I wouldn't associate this movement with the word "glide".<br /> Are we to take the above text literally or are we looking at a German to English translation issue. <br /><br />Incidently...A quick search using the words "glide" and "bears"...and the only match seems to be of a marsupial, nicknamed a Sugar Bear and known more commonly in its native Australia as a Sugar Glider.Paul Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267452625547760508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-76326207690338532262016-12-26T09:09:00.689-08:002016-12-26T09:09:00.689-08:00This website collects more information about the c...This website collects more information about the case, some of them from Germany, and includes a wire service report "'Flying Saucers' in East Germany" which was probably the source of the Blue Book text: https://shardsofmagonia.wordpress.com/2014/10/25/the-close-encounter-of-a-former-mayor/ Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845117373854094402noreply@blogger.com
