The appearance of a UFO has startled the residents of Drosendorf, a small town located in lower Austria.

Rudolf Slam (76), an eyewitness of the UFO, claims that a flying object "anchored" itself in a field near his apartment, later lifting from the ground and flying off at an "incredible" velocity. The object also emitted a thundering sound when it departed along with a 300-meter long trail of flames.

Slam recounted his experience to the newspaper "Kronen Zeitung": "Around midnight I stepped onto the balcony to have a cigarette and I saw a shining triangular object about 2 meters high. I also saw some unknown figures. When I tried to tape that object with a video camera, my batteries failed. Within seconds 'the unknown object' lifted off and flew away".

Slam waited before telling of his story, as he feared public ridicule and mockery. He finally exposed the story to his neighbour. The story then spread.

When the mayor of Drosendorf, Franz Krestan, found out, he was alarmed. Investigation of the field was then ordered. Investigation of the field revealed that there were 3 indentations in the ground, forming a triangle. The circular indentations were 10 cm deep. The indentations were located 1.7 meters apart from each other. Finally, grass in the centre of the triangle was burnt.

According to the Mayor's statement, no human footprints were found.
