4. Holen's first reaction after the observation was if Mr. Soma and Mr. Thorvaldsen had seen the objects. In spite of the relatively short distance between them and Mr. Holen (60-100 m.), they hadn't seen or heard anything, as stated earlier. Hence, Holen was treated rather humorously by the other men after the event.

Comments

This observation from September 1980 has emerged due to the last two year's UFO-activity in the Hessdalen valley. If we follow the "route" from this observation site northwards on the map. we end up at the Slettfjellet mountain. According to the investigator's knowledge it was here that the television team from Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation together with freelance journalist Arne Wisth filmed several UFOs during their stay there in mid-February 1982. This fact was not known to August Holen when he reported his sighting.
