OSLO. -- A local newspaper reports that a flying saucer allegedly landed last Friday in the Mosjøen region, about 300 km northeast of Trondheim, and that the pilot, a dark-haired man with long hair, was seen by two sisters who were picking berries in the mountains.
A police officer from Mosjoeen confirmed that the two sisters, aged 24 and 32, who are not considered fanciful, claimed to have seen the flying saucer land.
According to them, the pilot was wearing a buttonless aviator suit. After unsuccessfully trying to make himself understood by drawing signs on a piece of paper, he supposedly went back into his craft, waved to the two sisters, and quickly took off vertically.
Since the two women did not have time to approach the craft, they could only give vague details about its appearance. However, according to them, it was made of two discs about 5 meters in diameter.
Despite the implausibility of their statements, the police are going to the alleged landing site today in hopes of finding traces of the flying saucer.
