Initial data
Mr. L., the owner of an Alpine Lodge on the Hohris mountain (1,569 meters) in Germany, looked through the panoramic window at the snow-covered landscape. He was there with the watchman at 20:30 on December 10, 1973. Weitlahner Kopf (1,611 m) was visible from a distance of about 8 km. At the top of this mountain, they noticed a red light.
Curiously, both men took out binoculars (10 x 50). They wanted to check if the light was coming from the helicopter's cockpit.
At about 20:50 L. fired a red flare in the direction of an unidentified object. His intention was to point out to the pilot, who may have been in trouble, that he was seen by members of the mountain rescue service.
Soon after, the object began to glow a much brighter red and slowly rose into the air. After 4-5 minutes, it hovered about 200 meters above the top of the mountain. Suddenly he moved towards the Khokhri hut.
When it was only 2 km away, it stopped in mid-air. Witnesses have now admitted that the object was shaped like an egg, not a helicopter as they expected. Its upper part resembled a transparent cabin. Colored lights rotated around the outer rim and around the bottom of the object. The " egg " had a height of about 10 meters and flew absolutely soundlessly. The rotating lights were comparable to a disco light show, randomly flashing on and off without a single pattern. The colors of the lights from top to bottom were red, green, blue, and white.
"The lights were moving counterclockwise, from left to right, without any visible system and not at The same time," Mr. L said. "first there was one light, then the next, and so on. It looked like the fluorescent lights were running and flashing in different positions.»
After a few minutes the object flew in the direction of mount Klausenberg (Austria) and hung over the top of about 30 meters. Then it changed its course and approached a nearby Alpine Lodge, where it stayed for a long time. L. through his radio transmitter informed not only Klausner, who also observed the strange object, but also mountain rescue services in Bavaria, Austria and Czechoslovakia.
The object hovered motionless, only flashing colored lights. Since nothing was happening, L. fired another flare in its direction, trying to get it to move again.
Soon after, the object began to rise vertically, slowly at first, but then very quickly, until it disappeared from view.
The reliability index for this case was calculated as p = 95%.
Original news

Mr. L., the proprietor of an Alpine lodge on Hochries mountain (1569 meters) in Germany, was looking through a panoramic window at the snow-covered landscape. He was there with the caretaker of the lodge at 8:30 p.m. on December 10, 1973. At a distance of about 8 km they could see the mountain Weitlahner Kopf (1611 m). On the top of this mountain they noticed a red light. Curiously both men took out their binoculars (10 x 50). They wanted to verify whether or not the light came from the cockpit of a helicopter.
At about 8:50 p.m. Mr. L. fired a red flare signal rocket in the direction of the unidentified object. His intent was to indicate to the pilot, which may have been in trouble, that he was seen by members of the mountain rescue service. Soon after, the object started to shine in a much brighter red color and rose-up slowly in the air. After 4-5 minutes it hovered about 200 meters over the top of the mountain. Suddenly it moved in the direction of the Hochries-lodge. When it was only 2 km away it stopped in mid-air. The witnesses now recognized that the object was egg-shaped and not a helicopter as they had expected. Its upper part resembled a transparent cockpit. Colored lights rotated around the external rim and around the lower part of the object. The “egg” had a height of about 10 meters and flew absolutely soundless. The rotating lights were comparable with a light show in a discotheque, randomly flashing on and off without a pattern. From top to bottom the colors of the lights were red, green, blue and white.
“The lights ran counter-clockwise, from left to right, without any apparent system and not simultaneously, ” said Mr. L. “Atfirst one light appeared, then came the next one and so on. It looked as if fluorescent tubes were running around and flashing in several different positions. “
After several minutes the object flew toward Klausenberg mountain (Austria) and hovered about 30 meters over the top. It then changed its course and moved closed to a nearby Alpine lodge where it stopped for a long time. Mr. L. via his radio-transmitter informed not only the proprietor of the Klausner-lodge, who was observing the strange object as well, but also the mountain rescue services in Bavaria, Austria and Czechoslovakia.
The object hovered motionless, only flashing its colored lights. Since nothing was happening Mr. L fired another signal rocket in its direction trying to get it to move again. Shortly thereafter the object began to rise up vertically, first slowly, but then very rapid until it was out of view. (MUFON-CES Report No. 1, 1975)
