Wladyslaw Krasuski, a Polish prisoner of war at Gut Alt Golssen near Berlin, observed a circular vehicle approximately 75-100 yards in diameter and 14 feet high that rose vertically to clear a 50-foot wall and moved horizontally before disappearing from view; a tractor engine stalled twice during the observations.
“during 1944, while he was a German prisoner of war, he observed a vehicle described as circular in shape, seventy-five to one hundred yards in diameter, and approximately fourteen feet high. He stated the vehicle was observed to rise vertically to a height sufficient to clear a fifty-foot wall and that it moved slowly horizontally a short distance out of view which was obstructed by trees. He stated that the engine of a tractor failed to operate during this period and that the engine failed on one other occasion when a high-pitched whinning noise was heard in the area.”
