The following UFO encounter is rarely discussed but I do remember reading the witness' account a few years after it occurred. On April 8, 1993, the local paper Braunschweiger Zeitung carried a report that a local artist, the 72-year-old Herr Erwin Lohre, had a very unusual experience with a UFO.
Two years later Dr. Peter Hattwig managed to interview Herr Lohre. Here is Dr. Hattwig's account of the interview:
Lohre: "It was during the night of 8th to 9th March, 1993. My wife and I had gone to bed at 10.30 pm and had at once both fallen asleep. "A few minutes before 0.30 in the early hours I was awakened by a stabbing pain in the area of the spine. I at once took a painkilling tablet and lay down again. Meanwhile, my wife had also awakened, simultaneously. "Suddenly we heard a clear humming sound coming from the sky. After three or four seconds this noise, which seemed "metallic", as though produced by a centrifugal force, grew louder, and then, through the bedroom window, we saw a bright round shining object stationary at a height of some 10 metres or so above the birch trees to the east."
(Herr Lohre showed me the spot. The birch tree below the UFO had been burnt in the episode, and indeed has not yet fully recovered today, as its leaves are turning curly and falling already, although it is still summer.)......
