Summary: In an early 1972 morning farmer J. Poppe, then in his sixties, was working on his field, when out of the blue a silvery, saucer shaped disc (with a dome in the middle), came hovering straight to him. As the field that he was working on was very flat, the object could be very clearly be seen heading towards him. The disc flew straight over him, at the height of treetops. The witness could not recollect to have seen any markings on the underside of the craft, nor did he see any wires.
Bewildered the witness ran back home to inform his wife and children, who confirm they never before saw J. Poppe in this state of shock. The witness is very reliable, and is known as a no-nonsense person. Although this is a ‘single-person ufo encounter’ this case can be regarded as a true sighting.
