This document details Incident #120, a report concerning an unidentified aerial object observed near Vejle, Denmark, on February 7, 1948. The primary source for this information was a report published in the Danish newspaper Aftenbladet on the same day. According to the account, three men working as field laborers in Gadbjerg, near Vejle, observed a shining object moving at high speed across the sky. The object traveled from the southeast to the northwest at an estimated altitude of 200 meters and remained visible for approximately three seconds. The report was prepared by Lt. Col. Franklin E. Tomlinson and approved by Colonel Earl C. Emert, the Military Attache. The official military assessment, marked as Evaluation P-6, states that no verification of the sighting was received and that the available information is very scanty. A brief note included in the file suggests that there is nothing in the report that would contradict the possibility that the object was a meteor. The document also includes a page from the Project Grudge report index, which lists Incident #120 under the category of sightings where evidence suggests no explanation.
