At | | the impact site, 70 meters deep, a column of water rose up. The | | aircraft resembled a twin-engine delta-winged jet. The witnesses were | | Bjorn Taraldsen, Nils M. Turi, Kate Julsen, and Rasmus Hykkerud. When | | others arrived half an hour later all they found were a number of | | dead fish. The frigate KNM Arendal and the submarine KNM Sarpen, | | along with divers, searched for the aircraft fruitlessly for over a | | week.

The object, which had rows of lights flashing around | | its perimeter, took off rapidly as the witnesses approached it in a | | motor boat. The incident was reported to NICAP by Richard Plewman. | | Plewman, a former RCAF Flight Lieutenant and pilot instructor, was | | cruising with a friend, Jack Grant about 2-1/2 miles offshore of | | Clarkson at about 10:30 p.m. While proceeding in a NE direction, the | | men noticed some lights like headlights on the water ahead. They | | continued talking, and approaching the lights at a moderate speed, | | not suspecting anything unusual. When they got to an estimated | | distance of 3/4 to 1 mile, the lights slowly rose with a "swish," | | emitting a low "pulsating hum." Plewman and Grant could now see a | | disc with a bubble-type dome on top and a flat bottom, casting an | | oval reflection on the lake surface. A row of bright yellow lights | | encircled the dome, blue-green lights around the lower perimeter. | | After hovering briefly, the UFO took off at high speed disappearing | | "Like a light bulb turned out." Plewman said the perimeter lights | | clearly outlined the dark object, the colors changing from dull white | | to fluorescent tones as the UFO started to rise.

An object, said to be lens-shaped, was photographed | | 30 minutes earlier in San Jose de Valderas, Spain. The photo shows an | | "H" insignia on the bottom of the craft. The photograph, however, is | | regarded by many UFO investigators as a hoax.

Another similar figure was walking towards the road (the | | craft was about 30 meters away from a fence line, which was 5 meters | | from the road). A third figure was standing on the right side of the | | object near a dead tree. All three had on the same clothing with | | helmets with black visors. She described the aliens as being very | | tall, approximate eight feet in height. As the car drove she noticed | | that they seemed to be collecting items from the ground. She also | | noticed that the one walking towards the road seemed to have turned | | his helmet and look at their vehicle as it drove off.

Her youngster in the backseat | | responded, "Look mommy, a flying iPad in the sky!" She looked around | | and noticed there were no other cars on the road. She was quite | | concerned and stopped, about 150 feet away from the hovering craft. | | The object was completely silent and hovered approximately 60 feet | | above the roadway. She described it as looking "mostly | | rectangular...like the gondola of a blimp without the blimp."

The top section had | | five sets of green lights. There were three individual lights in each | | set, and the five sets were all evenly spaced and not blinking. The | | green color was brighter than the green of a traffic light. The | | bottom section was smaller; it contained two long solid red lights | | ther were placed side by side. These lights were steady and gave the | | impression of looking like brake lights, but they were huge. The | | woman called her mother on her bluetooth cell phone.
