Articles and Reports
Observasjoner over Norge (Observations over Norway): Pages 4-12 detail numerous sightings within Norway, categorized by region and date. These include:
- 010478/I (OS - HORDALAND): A report from A.H. and two witnesses who observed a strong light resembling a searchlight in the southeast. They reported it to the military at Flesland, who detected nothing on radar. The object moved northwest and disappeared at 22:45.
- 080478/1 (Eiksmarka): A woman reported an object hovering over treetops. The light intensified, then the object became still before disappearing westward. She described a faint light within the object. The sighting lasted about 10 minutes, ending at 22:40.
- 200478/1 (HAGA): Multiple observations in the Haga area. A couple saw an object about 150 meters ahead, at treetop height, gliding towards them before stopping and disappearing behind trees. No sound was heard. Duration: 2 minutes.
- 270578/1 (Øyestad): Mariann Myrdal, 16 years old, reported seeing a star-like object moving at high speed. It split into two large, round capsules that merged. Small, drag-like luminous spheres were emitted, landing near her with a burning smell and a sound like an earthquake. She felt intense fear as the objects seemed to follow her.
- Drawing of Objects: An illustration depicts the objects described by Mariann Myrdal, showing two large round objects with smaller spheres emanating from them.
- Agderposten Report: A newspaper report confirms multiple sightings of strange phenomena around midnight on the Saturday before May 30th. A woman on Liisøy heard a loud sound, and others saw powerful light flashes in the sky, similar to lightning but without clouds.
- 070678/I A,B,C (Jakobsli - Trøndelag): A 17-year-old astronomy enthusiast reported three observations in one day. The first was an object moving south, then disappearing behind treetops. Later, a star-like object moved south, stopped, and accelerated in a Z-pattern, surrounded by a corona. Two other luminous spherical objects were seen moving north, maintaining formation. A third sighting involved a sharp, luminous object moving from the west towards the northwest, following the Trondheim Fjord. These sightings were also reported in the local press.
- 100778/11 (Vestfossen): Sturla Martinsen reported a bright green, highly luminous spherical object flying at high speed from southwest to northeast, passing Vestfossen in 5-8 seconds. It emitted smaller yellowish-white spheres before disappearing.
- 100778/II (Malsjøen - Gran Østås): Odd Svendsrud reported seeing a strange object while in a rowboat. The surroundings turned green-tinged. The object appeared like a flag, green with a faint red glow at the top, moving at high speed and disappearing behind clouds at a 40° altitude.
- Commentary on Press Reports: An article from Oppland Arbeiderblad (July 19th) discusses Norsk UFO Center's efforts to collect information on UFOs seen in the Eastern region, particularly those sighted on July 10th. It mentions sightings by Odd Svendsrud, a similar object in Nord-Odal, and another in Vestfossen. The object was described as very large, green, and without engine noise or a tail, ruling out meteors or fireballs.
- 100778/1 (Riksvei Kongsberg-Drammen): G. Gjermundsen and his wife saw an object with an elliptical shape and a bright yellow/red tail near Drammen at 00:02, lasting 15-20 seconds. They considered it might be a meteor but found it too large.
- Ultimo-februar78/I (Farberg-Langstein): An individual reported seeing three lights flying slowly about 150 meters from their house, descending into a forest. The lights were white with a blue corona and moved at an estimated 20 km/t. The next day, unusual imprints were found in the snow: three triangles and elliptical shapes, with a circle in the center and disturbed moss. The witness requested anonymity due to skepticism from locals.
BREV FRA LESERNE (Letters from Readers): Page 3 features a letter from a reader commenting on an article in Rapportnytt No. 3, 1978, titled "Enquirer avslører" (Enquirer Reveals). The reader questions the authenticity of a UFO drawing, suggesting that the US military would not allow such a craft to be seen by outsiders. The letter speculates on whether the UFO crew was dead or if the craft was abandoned, suggesting that vital parts might have been removed to prevent humans from misusing advanced technology. It also touches upon the possibility of UFOs being missed by their originators and the methods used by UFOs to gather information, referencing Barney and Betty Hill and the work of Wilberth B. Smith.
Et kort tilbakeblikk (A Short Look Back): Page 4 reflects on the year 1978, noting progress in how major powers are handling the UFO issue. It mentions Grenada's Prime Minister Sir Eric Gairy's efforts to establish a UFO research committee and President Carter's inquiry to NASA about forming an investigation commission. However, it concludes that the UFO problem is not a high priority. The release of Project Blue Book archives is noted as a positive development, making many well-documented observations public.

Key Articles and Reports
"KRAFTIG LYS LANDET OG AVSATTE BRENNEMERKE." (Strong Light Landed and Left Burn Marks)
This article details an incident reported by Georg Teige, a 72-year-old man, and his wife. They witnessed a very bright, spherical light land in a field near their home at approximately 1 AM on a Saturday night. The light was so intense it was impossible to open their eyes fully. After the light disappeared, they found a burnt circular mark in the grass the next day, approximately 40 cm in diameter. The grass and moss were burnt, but the couple believed dew prevented a larger fire. The object was described as moving left and closer before landing, then disappearing as if a lamp was switched off. Georg Teige reported the incident to local newspapers, DT and BB, due to previous reports of grass rings.
Tillegsopplysninger fra Forsknings-seksjonen (Additional Information from the Research Section)
This section provides further details from the NUFOC research section regarding the Teige incident. The wife was awakened by the light and saw the entire kitchen and courtyard illuminated. The light was described as a very strong car headlight, possibly with a reddish hue. The object moved from Northeast to Northwest at a 'cyclist's speed' and then approached the house from the Northwest. It hovered about 1.5 meters above the ground at a distance of 25 meters from the house, its light intensity decreasing. It then landed, and as it touched the ground, the light faded. The object then 'hopped' like a feather, and landed again 6 meters closer to the house. When Georg Teige went out 5 seconds after the hop, nothing was visible. The next morning, two circular marks, about 35 cm in diameter, were found burnt into the mossy and grassy ground. The witnesses noted an oily smell from the imprints, which dissipated over time. They could not describe the object's shape due to being blinded but assumed it was round, with a diameter matching the imprints (around 40 cm). The landing was described as soft, and the object's behavior seemed controlled. No sound was heard. The dog on the farm did not react to the event. NUFOC's research section visited the site on July 31st, taking photos and samples. The incident was not reported to official authorities.
"OSLO." (Report from Oslo)
A witness at Vestbanen station in Oslo at 11:05 PM saw something unusual in the sky about 300-400 meters away. Initially resembling 'New Year's rockets,' the witness then observed a white, luminous, elliptical object at a 40° altitude, moving at approximately 200 km/h. The object had a medium light on top and a faint light underneath. As it turned southwest over the Oslo Fjord, a dark 'spot' appeared in the middle before it disappeared. A few minutes later, an airplane appeared from another direction and continued towards Fornebo. The observation lasted 2 minutes.
"POLEN" (Poland)
This section reports on increasing interest in UFO observations in Polish media, citing articles from "Kurier Polski." Field researcher S. Stendahl notes that while UFO activity might not be increasing, media coverage is making people more willing to come forward. The case of Jan Wolski, who reportedly met two green-faced beings and was a guest on a UFO, is mentioned as having become a TV program, leading to many reader letters. The articles presented have similarities to Wolski's experience, though they occurred on the same day in different locations, suggesting independent sightings.
#### "SKOLEELEVER MØTTE UHYGGELIG VESEN MED GRØNT ANSIKT." (Schoolchildren Met a Creepy Being with a Green Face)
Eight schoolchildren from Przyrownica, Poland, reported encountering a creature with a green face while walking through the woods. The being wore a black, tight-fitting suit with a symbol on the chest: a light ring with a red dot inside. The story caused a stir among villagers. The school director and a teacher confirmed that six students initially reported the encounter, with two more coming forward later, all visibly frightened. The students described the being's eyes as slanted and its fingers as webbed like a duck's. The police were notified but could not explain the incident. It was also reported that the previous day, a retired teacher and her daughter saw a pulsating red light over the woods, which a former teacher also observed.
"MENN MED GRØNNE ANSIKTER INTERESSERT I SOPP OG MOTORSYKKEL." (Men with Green Faces Interested in Mushrooms and Motorcycles)
Henryk Marciniak, a 33-year-old truck driver, reported an encounter with two beings with green faces and small, thin, elastic hands. He described their eyes as glassy red and their cheekbones as protruding. He believed they were extraterrestrial. This encounter occurred on the same day as the schoolchildren's sighting. Marciniak stated he had not seen the TV program about Jan Wolski's encounter. He was mushroom hunting when he saw a grey, mobile-barracks-like object with a slanted roof, supported by four legs, about 300 meters away. The object was silent. Two beings emerged from a square opening. They were shorter than him, around 1.40 meters tall, and wore dark, non-black suits. They communicated in a way that sounded like a record playing at the wrong speed. One held a device that made clicking sounds. They showed interest in his motorcycle and the mushrooms. Marciniak demonstrated his motorcycle, and the beings then re-entered the object, which ascended vertically. He noted four square imprints where the object had been supported. His wife reported he felt heavy and unwell afterward.
"MYSTISKE LYSENDE OBJEKTER OVER STORBRITANNIA, ARGENTINA OG HONDURAS." (Mysterious Luminous Objects Over Great Britain, Argentina, and Honduras)
This section briefly mentions several other UFO sightings: mysterious lights over London causing a traffic jam; a luminous object observed over Tacoman, Argentina, by a technician; and UFOs seen over Tegucigalpa, Honduras, during a city-wide power outage, with reports of acrobatic maneuvers.
"Frankrike" (France)
#### "KJEMPESTORT 'MODERSKIP' FORÅRSAKET EM EFFEKT." (Giant 'Mothership' Caused EM Effect)
Michael Satsi, a 33-year-old pilot and reserve lieutenant with 8 years of service in NATO, reported a sighting in Asservent, France, on September 26, 1975. He saw a strange orange light and, with his wife and a friend, investigated. They observed a large, cigar-shaped object hovering over fields. Satsi's car engine and lights suddenly stopped working. Several other cars were also stopped. Satsi approached the object, which was about 300 meters away. He estimated its height at 20 meters and diameter at 250-300 meters. The object rotated, and a smaller, corn-shaped object detached from its top, ascending about 100 meters before disappearing. The main craft then stabilized, its 'side vents' vanished, and its lights intensified before it disappeared at high speed. Satsi was amazed, noting the absence of sound, wind, or heat, indicating a propulsion method unknown to him. He took 8 photos, but none were of good quality.
"MERE NYTT FRA POLEN." (More News From Poland)
This section reiterates that UFOs are not mere fantasy and that witnesses in both Eastern and Western countries independently report similar phenomena. It highlights a surprising event from February 21, 1959, in Gdynia, Poland, where dockworkers saw a glowing object dive into the harbor. Harbor authorities found metal parts, which were examined by experts from the Polish Navy and Gdynia Polytechnic Institute, but the results were not published. After the object crashed, a strange, exhausted being was found near the shore, attempting to communicate in an unknown language. It wore a uniform made of a hard, metallic substance with no openings. The being's organs differed significantly from human ones, and it had a different number of fingers and toes. It died when a bracelet was removed. The remains were sent to the Soviet Union for further investigation, and no further information was released.
USA
"BESØKTE DENNE UFOEN" (Visited This UFO)
An article by Norm Oshrin from the Herald Editor, dated April 7, 1978, reports on a sighting near Sanford, USA. Vicky Bryant reported seeing a strange object in the sky. She and her friend Melody Kennedy described it as silent, the size of a football field, oblong, with a row of white lights and one large blinking main light. It hovered over Geneva Gardens cemetery for 3-4 minutes. Bryant, who believes in UFOs, was terrified. They contacted Bryant's husband, George, who immediately drove to the location but found nothing. A call to Sanford airport revealed no small aircraft were in the air at that time. Later, Bryant heard that others had seen the same thing, confirming she wasn't imagining it. Elaine Chapman also reported seeing it but preferred to dismiss it as helicopters, though no helicopters were present.
"HENDELSEN FANT STED I NEWARK, DELAWARE I USA 17. januar 1974." (The Incident Took Place in Newark, Delaware, USA, January 17, 1974.)
An observer and her 8-year-old son were driving east on Delaware Avenue in Newark, Delaware, around 9 PM. They noticed a white, fluorescent light coming from the left as they approached an intersection with traffic lights. They saw a large, round object that stopped traffic. The object was grey with a smooth, metallic surface and a non-luminous dome on top. Its underside had lights that shifted colors, shining directly on the observer's car. Two larger lights were on the sides. A rotating band with straight lines formed a luminous pattern around the lower part of the object. The observer initially thought it was a government project but became frightened, having never seen anything like it. The object hovered at an angle, rotated, and made a high-pitched whirring sound without creating any air disturbance. It maneuvered close to houses and power lines, appearing to be preparing to land.

This article recounts a sighting by a woman who, along with other drivers, stopped at a traffic light and observed a 'flying saucer' in the sky. The incident lasted for several minutes, during which no one in the intersection drove away. The woman's son was frightened, and she decided to leave the area. The object was later seen to ascend rapidly and disappear.
OBJEKTET STEG OG FORSVANT (The Object Ascended and Disappeared)
Following the previous sighting, the object reappeared higher up and seemed to follow the woman as she drove to a shopping center. She and another woman observed the object ascend quickly into the sky. The author of the report describes the woman as a reliable witness who was not interested in UFO literature. The son mentioned seeing a large object with lights that turned on and off. Attempts to find other witnesses were unsuccessful, though one tenant and his son provided evasive answers.
TRE MÅNEDERS BELEIRING AV HEMMELIG ATOMANLEGG (Three Months Siege of Secret Atomic Facility)
