“The following is the full text of an item
which appeared in Oslo Conservative Aftenposten of 16 March 1959 (AM
edition):
Several bright objects were observed in the
sky near Bergen
by several persons on the evening of 12 March.
According
to Birger Storesund, of Storesund, near Bergen ,
there were five of the bright bodies, all of which crossed the sky from north
to south. The first object, which was first seen at 2010 hours, took about two
minutes to cross the sky and disappear beneath the horizon. In size and
appearance, it could be compared to the Soviet sputniks. About five minutes
later, object number two appeared, later to be followed by objects three, and four
and five.
According to Storesund, several of his neighbors also saw the objects. No
sound was to be heard from the objects.
Storesund’s dog, which usually reacts to
the presence of aircraft, paid no attention. The objects were also observed in
binoculars.”
