UFOs in the daily Press:

The strange (and embellished) story of flying saucers in Norway

One of the two sisters who claim to have seen, last Friday, a flying saucer and its pilot in the vicinity of Mosjøen, maintained her statements to the press today.

Both had first agreed to remain absolutely discreet, fearing that their story would make them seem insane, but one of them, pressed with questions by her husband who had found her behavior strange that day, revealed their extraordinary adventure.

During a walk in the mountains to pick blueberries, they had noticed a man crouching behind a tree. They were about to continue on their way when the man suddenly stood up and began to laugh. Thinking they were dealing with a madman, the two sisters were preparing to flee, but the man, who seemed gentle, gestured for them to approach.

One of them then held out her hand to greet him, but the stranger only clapped his hands and shook his head when offered a basket of blueberries.

The man was dark like a gypsy, of average height, and wore a khaki-colored garment. He spoke words that the two women could not understand and began drawing on something that looked like a piece of paper: the sun, the moon, the earth, pointing to the latter and then to himself, repeating the same for another planet.

The man then gestured for them to follow him and, to their great astonishment, they saw a craft about a meter and a half tall and 3 to 4 meters in diameter, resembling giant pot lids.

One of the sisters wanted to touch the craft, but the man grabbed her arm, showing her, for reasons she did not understand, some tree roots, then climbed into his machine.

In their confusion, the two sisters remember only that the craft began to spin around itself, slowly at first, making hardly more noise than a bumblebee, then faster and faster until it quickly took off and disappeared over the horizon.

Accompanied by three policemen, the two sisters went to the site of their adventure, but no evidence could be found to prove any kind of landing.

Although they again insist that everything in their story is true, the Norwegian police considered it useless to pursue the investigation and did not even think of analyzing the ground where the strange craft was said to have landed.
