Circles on the field and other formations. Germany

Oskar Linke, the former mayor of Germershausen was riding home on his motorcycle with his 11-year old stepdaughter Gabrielle when a tire burst near Hasselbach. They saw 60 yards away a “deer” which proved to be 2 human figures wearing shimmering metallic clothing, which were examining something on the ground. Approaching to within 30 ft, he saw an object, “like a huge oval warming pan” 40-50 ft across. Along the sides were 2 parallel rows of 1 ft diameter holes, and in the middle was a black cylindrical “conning tower” about 10 ft high. Hearing Linke’s daughter call to him, the figures (one of whom had a flashing lamp on his chest) rushed back to the object & entered the tower. Then the edge of the saucer started to glow—first green, then red—and to spin like a top, rising up the tower; then the whole machine rose (the cylinder once more protruding from the top) and flew away. At the site the cylinder had left a circular depression in the earth. Linke did not hear of flying saucers until after he had escaped to West Berlin.
