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.
