UFO-Norway News, No. 1/2 1991

Quote from the article (Page 26):
“Date: 24-29 March 1991
Time: Between
9.30 and 11.00 pm
Duration: Four
consecutive observations, lasting from 1 hour to
2 1/2 hrs each
Place: Øydeskyvatn,
near Haukeli, Southern Norway
Witnesses: Signe
Mjåland (main witness) together with 6 other witnesses
Nature of sighting:
Luminous phenomenon at close range - suspected landing traces found
Conclusion
It seems that an extraordinary phenomenon has been
observed for a prolonged period by several, apparantly reliable witnesses.
At one instance, the phenomenon was seen close (to) or
at the ground, probably leaving markings in the snow. At any rate, being
discovered by the witnesses the day after, it would be natural to connect these
markings with the phenomenon’s descent.
Considering the laboratory tests, they seem somewhat
inconclusive at the moment. The microbiological tests showed a definite
difference between test and reference samples; however, the elemental analysis
was indiscriminating.
As usual with cases like these, it is difficult to draw
any definite conclusion. Assuming that the witnesses haven’t misperceived known
phenomena (i.e. the moon, which may be the main culprit), we might safely state
that something extraordinary has been observed, which has probably left
physical traces on the ground – a classical CE II-case.”
A Norwegian UFO documentary film called “UFO også i Norge?”
(“UFO also in Norway?”) (youtube.com (Source: serpentineufo (YouTube channel)) reports
(starts at 21:12 minutes into the documentary) on the Haukeli UFO sightings. The
UFO documentary film is presented at the website, NETI.ws, Norway.
A drawing and a photo of the alleged UFO landing
traces (found at the shoreline of Øydeskyvatn (a mountain lake)) are shown respectively at 22:00 minutes
and 22:31 minutes into the documentary.
The three spiral shaped circles had a diameter of
about 50 centimetres,
according to Signe Mjåland (a high school advisor). The distance between the circles
was 3 metres
(measured from the outside of the circles).
“A probable fourth print was covered by water …,” the UFO-Norway
News article says.
The UFO resembled the moon, according to the
witnesses. Signe Mjåland said (in the documentary) that the object looked like
a large halogen lamp and glowed red on the bottom. A drawing of the UFO is
shown at 21:47 minutes into the documentary.
And one time when one of the witnesses shone a flashlight at the UFO – it shut off the light, according to Signe
Mjåland.
