• Pages 48-51: Focuses heavily on Gunnar Pedersen of Voss, a prolific UFO observer. The article notes his extensive reporting (over 1300 observations) and his recent resignation from UFO-NORGE, feeling his reports were not taken seriously. It highlights his detailed documentation and his belief in extraterrestrial origins for the objects. The article also touches upon Pedersen's past claims and his perceived fanaticism, while acknowledging the possibility of genuine observations.
• Page 5: Includes older clippings: a mysterious balloon-shaped object seen near Bodø on July 10, 1953; a strange 'sky' over Grimstad on September 8, 1955; and reports from Østlands Posten on December 13 and 14, 1979, about sightings in Indre Østfold, including a "Spydeberg-dame" and a "Spydebergmann" describing a brilliant, fast-moving object.
• Page 6: Features an article titled "Havnås-UFO'en filmet på video!" detailing an observation by Ng Hyng Lyng in Trøgstad. Lyng captured a four-to-five-minute video of a flickering light, which he believes could be an extraterrestrial craft. The article notes that this sighting aligns with another observation made by a woman from Havnås.
• Page 7: Contains reports from "Stjørdalens Blad" about a strange light in the sky on January 3, 1995, and multiple sightings of a light phenomenon on January 5, 1995.

• Pages 8 & 10: These pages feature an article titled "Med øye for flygende objekter" (An Eye for Flying Objects) about Gunnar Pedersen. It reiterates his dedication to observing UFOs from Voss, his meticulous logging of sightings, and his frustration with UFO-NORGE. The article details his first sighting at age 13 in 1943 and his belief that the objects are physical and technologically advanced, likely originating from other planetary systems. It also mentions his experiences of being observed and strange ground vibrations associated with sightings.
• Page 9: Continues the theme of "flygende objekter" (flying objects), with a focus on Gunnar Pedersen's observations in Voss. It highlights his belief that UFOs are not aircraft and discusses his theory that the beings inside do not wish to make contact, explaining why there are no recent observations in Hessdalen. He recounts an instance of being observed and feeling ground vibrations.
