Haderslev police officer encounter
On 13 August 1970, police officer Evald Maarup was driving about ten kilometres north of Haderslev when his car was bathed in bluish light, the engine and radio died and the cabin grew hot.
1970 CE · 55.34, 9.47 · status: account
The account
Maarup filed an official report and is said to have taken photographs. A psychiatrist who saw him afterwards found no sign of disturbance. He was mocked in the press after an official explanation was published.
The sceptical view
There were no other witnesses, and the published explanation and photographs have not been independently analysed in the sources.
