AI-Generated Summary
A 1952 CIA intelligence report documenting a sworn statement from a German refugee, Oscar Linke, regarding his sighting of a large, metallic, disc-shaped object and two figures in the Soviet Zone of Germany.
This Central Intelligence Agency report, dated August 23, 1952, details a flying saucer sighting reported by Oscar Linke, a 48-year-old former mayor of Gleimershausen who had recently escaped from the Soviet Zone of Germany. According to the report, which cites a sworn statement provided by Linke and his 11-year-old daughter, Gabriella, the incident occurred near the town of Hasselbach. Linke stated that while returning home, a tire on his motorcycle blew out. While walking, his daughter pointed out an object in the distance that he initially mistook for a young deer. Upon approaching the site, Linke observed a large, metal, frying-pan-shaped object approximately 13 to 15 meters in diameter resting in a forest clearing. He reported seeing two individuals dressed in shiny metallic clothing standing near the object, which featured two rows of holes along its periphery and a black, three-meter-high conical tower on its top. West Berlin intelligence officers began investigating the account following Linke's escape to the West with his wife and six children.
I approached until I was only about 10 meters from them. I looked over a small fence and then I noticed a large object whose diameter I estimated to be between 13 and 15 meters. It looked like a huge frying pan.
