  • 2 August: At Stavanger (Norway), an unknown nationality biplane was observed flying (making circles) above Tungeneset south of Stavanger. It disappeared behind a hill and was not seen again [[MORGEMBLADET, 3 Aug 1914, 4] [Bullard: The airship file - Supplement I., 1983, 36].]{.source}

  • Monday 3rd August: Mo i Rana/Helgeland (Norway), it is confirmed that an aircraft flew over the city and left Monday night after dark. It flew very high [[MORGENBLADET, 6 Aug 1914, 3] [Bullard: The airship file - Supplement I., 1983, 36].]{.source}

  • Thursday, September 17, 9 pm to 10 pm: In Alta (Norway) a strange and unexplained light phenomenon is observed by many people in many neighborhoods. The sky is completely covered and it is total darkness when a light point like a big star appears in the East above Elvebakken, going above Bosekop, disappearing behind Skoddevarre, coming back to Kvænvik and after various other movements disappears towards Talvik. The light is generally white but shifts partly to red and blue. It is also observed with a telescope from the small steamboat Sina. It is thought to come from an airplane. A man would have heard a fast sound in the air, but without seeing anything however. The light moves at different altitudes and generally without great particular speed, except when it disappears [[MORGENBLADET, 24 Sep 1914, 2] [Bullard: The airship file - Supplement I., 1983, 37]]{.source}.

  • October 22, 9 PM: From Knaplund, near Saltstrømmen, in Bodø (Norway), 9 to 10 "reliable" adults (who will give their name to the correspondent) see an aircraft passing to the East. The witnesses hear the sound of an engine. The aircraft has the shape of a cigar and is clearly visible in the evening sky [[MORGENBLADET, October 23, 1914, 4] [Bullard: The airship file - Supplement I., 1983, 38].]{.source}

  • November 16th and 17th: At Tjølta (Norway), many "mature" witnesses simultaneously saw in the sky a light to the East of "De Syv Søstre". It moved from West to East, sometimes quite slowly, making pauses, diving and rising, and then returning at great speed [[MORGENBLADET, 19 Nov 1914, 2] [Bullard: The airship file - Supplement I., 1983, 38].]{.source}

  • Saturday, November 21st, evening: At Mindlandet in Tjølta (Norway), between 20 and 30 people simultaneously observe a flying object near the Skjærvær lighthouse, which has a searchlight. The aircraft, at an altitude of about 700 m, descends to about 400 m, from where it sweeps its searchlight over a boat passing through the area. Afterwards it rises again [[MORGENBLADET, 25 Nov 1914, 2] [Bullard: The airship file - Supplement I., 1983, 38].]{.source}

  • December 20th, 8pm: In Skien (Norway) many people, including the Solum sheriff, "reliable" sources, have seen an aircraft. The sheriff is watching it with a telescope.
