On August 21 or 22, 1963 at 5 p.m., I took out on a
fishing trip in my boat to the sound called Kagsund near Skjærvøy. The weather
was clear and there was no wind. At about 6:30 p.m., I was going to change my
fishing location to near the ‘Skjærvøyskjæret’ (sunken rock) and was looking
west towards the island Arnøy. I suddenly saw a flame, as from a rocket
shooting out from the mountain. I thought the Navy was performing some kind of
training mission, but if so they would have to be testing something new because
I saw a 6 feet
wide orange colored [sic] flame. I then saw an object which went straight up in
the air, but the speed was not as fast as that of a rocket being launched! At a
height of about 6,000 ft .,
the flame was gone and I saw the sharp outline of a gray object. I figured it
to be some sort of balloon or parachute. The object then started to move
eastward straight against the wind, and keeping the same altitude, it passed
over a mountain top (2,350
ft .) and a small village. As it moved out over the
sound, approaching me, it came lower and I realised it was certainly no balloon
or parachute. Then the thought struck me that it was a UFO. I now observed 2
objects, one large and one small. The large object had 5 big windows on the
side towards me, which were oval on top and about 6 ft . high. The distance to
the object was 450 feet ,
and it hovered about 40 - 50
feet above the water. Suddenly, what appeared to be 2
rails came down out of the large object, and the smaller one hooked on to these
and was drawn into the larger one. The small thing was oval, about 6 by 9 feet . No smoke or flame
was observed and there was no sound.
The time was now 6:40 p.m., and I must admit I was
feeling nervous and afraid. For a short moment I had looked around for other
witnesses, but could see no other boats. The wind had now increased and the sea
was dark, but underneath the object the water was calm and shiny. In one of the
object’s windows, I saw a green light beam which was directed at me. The round
light (about 1 ft .
in diameter) was changing colour, light and dark green, and something seemed to
be moving behind the light. I tried to lift a fish into the boat, but could not
manage it. I seemed to be paralyzed. Whether this was due to the excitement or
something else, I do not know.
I judged the large UFO to be about 30 feet high, and 105-120 feet long (diameter?).
I cannot say for certain if the object was oval or circular, as it had the same
side turned towards me during the whole observation. It was flat underneath but
had a dome on top. The object had stopped right over a large, sunken german [sic] cargo ship which shipwrecked here in 1944, and which carried ore and
quicksilver. I watched something which I am not certain of, either being drawn
out of, or dumped into the sea. Several little dark things were seen between
the object and the sea surface. To me it seemed that something was coming up
out of the sea and entered in through the bottom of the object. It hovered
motionless during this time which was 10 minutes. The UFO then tilted a little
to one side and started to accelerate. Suddenly the large object’s speed
increased tremendously, and in one minute, it had disappeared in a northerly
direction out of the fjord of Kvenangen [sic] (Kvænangen). The colour of the
object was metallic or silver-grey.
