This formation of "stars" follows an elliptical orbit with an apparent diameter of 1 m (the witness determines this by stretching out his arm). He observes the phenomenon for 6 to 8 minutes, then continues on his way without waiting for the end Henri Xhaloupek, Spatial Phenomena #11, 1967; drawing p. 209{.source}.

  • Autumn, 8 PM: At Auggedal (Norway), people saw a bright ball coming from the South with a whistling sound towards them. It passed between them and a barn, at 10 m. The ball was the size of a rugby ball, and the passage between the barn and the witnesses was at a height of 5 to 6 m above the ground. Then the ball went up and disappeared above a hill. The object shone brightly. The witnesses were P.O. Møller, Tor Flatum and Gunn Berget. The whole observation lasted about 40 seconds, during which the bright ball traveled about ten kilometers UFO report form, March 31, 1965{.source}.
