During the summer of 1965 residents across Helsinki Finland reported sightings of a mysterious glowing disc shaped object.

Witnesses described a metallic disc that hovered silently above the city for several minutes before darting away at high speed with no sound.

Several police officers on duty that evening confirmed the sighting and noted the object changed color from white to orange.

Local newspapers published accounts and a few amateur photographs were taken showing a bright circular form against the twilight sky.

The incident was reported to Finnish authorities though no official explanation was ever issued.

Similar disc sightings occurred elsewhere in Europe that year suggesting a broader wave of unexplained aerial activity.

The Helsinki case remains one of the better documented European UFO reports from the mid 1960s due to multiple credible eyewitnesses including law enforcement personnel.
