After spending several years in Sweden, this geocoin has a special meaning to me! Especially after I had the same experience during my third stay in Sweden. Together with Karl_XI and Reugenspass.eu we came from a stash hunt back. Suddenly and without any warning, we had our close encounter of the moose kind 
We missed the moose by centimeters and we all were shocked for a moment. Luckily nobody got hurt and honestly once in a lifetime is enough! During the geocoinfest in Ulm, Germany, I met by luck Dofferson himself and had a nice cheat about Sweden and mooses!
The Close Encounters of the Moose Kind Geocoin has been designed by Dofferson. The idea for this geocoin was born, while spending his holiday in Sweden. He took three trips to Sweden without seeing a moose and on his fourth trip one jumped in front of his car (no person or moose got hurt). It suddenly jumped in front of his car and all three (his wife, himselve and the moose) had a "WTF ?" moment. Being a true geocoin addict the first thing that came into his mind was: "hmmm would be a nice geocoin idea". After some creatives moment at his computer the design for the geocoin was born. The first artwork by Dofferson is shown below
The front side shows a moose head in black nickel for the outline and the shadow. The highlight parts are colored in yellow enemal. The backside is of multi layer design and shows a moose that is crossing a road with the text "close encounters of the moose kinds" in the same font as the science fiction movie "third kind". The deepest level (road and sky) is in glow. The final artwork for the geocoin is shown below.

Diese wunderbare Sammlung durfte ich auf dem Coin Event in Eindhoven bewundern.
Sehr bemerkenswert, dass jemand so viele Coins besitzt. Es hat mir sehr gut gefallen, dass ich nicht nur die Originale sehen konnte, sondern auch die Möglichkeit habe, diese zu discovern. Vielen Dank dafür!
Herzliche Grüße und weiterhin viel Spaß mit unserem gemeinsamen, tollen Hobby.

Een Geocoinfest in Nederland: daar moet ik echt bij zijn. En wat ga je daar doen? Natuurlijk heel veel travelbugs en vooral geocoins bekijken. Wat een feest! Zo veel prachtige verzamelingen, waaronder zeker die mooie collectie van Geo-Dragonchild. Met veel dank heb dan ook van de CO de tracking codes beschikbaar gekregen om de coins ook daadwerkelijk te kunnen discoveren. Dat scheelt een boel schrijfwerk. TFTCoins :D!

I have visited the geocoinfest 2015 in Eindhoven together with Hoentjes. We have had an amazing day. We really enjoyed the beautiful geocoincollections of the diverse collectors. I had a lot of work to discover all these coins and tb's. The result was that we could discover a challenge in our neighbourhood. Now we have even more coins to collect! Wow!! And thank you fot sharing!
