Oslo, May 14 -- Luftkommando [Air Command] has received a number of reports that indicate that the flying objects observed over Finnmark province, Norway, at 12:10 on May 13 were not conventional airplanes or meteorological balloons. Sheriff Oskal of Kautokeino, three of his deputies, and two clerks observed the three objects through binoculars for 4-5 minutes. Oskal described them as flying in formation at an altitude of about 2.000 meters, being triangular in shape (*), reddish brown on the underside and shiny on the upper, and moving with a rotary motion. They left no smoke. The weather was clear and the visibility perfect.
(*) Another newspaper reported that the objects were in a V shape formation, there may be a confusion here. At least CIA thought so in FBIS report 00-W-30797.
