Squad in Oslo. The police admits that the event is interesting, but they don't show officially that they have any views on what the object might be". PHYSIOLOGICAL AFTER-EFFECTS Christiansands Tidende November 2nd: - When everything was over I had a strange sensation in the tongue and in parts of the face. It seemed like an aftermath of being under anesthetics at the dentist; I looked at myself in the back-mirror, but I couldn't notice anything and the sensation soon disappeared. Besides I have got some wounds on my right hand because I used it to stop myself from falling to the ground. In a letter from editor Toreskaas, we learnt that Salvesen had had some difficulties in getting an appointment with an oculist in Kristiansand. We asked Salvesen, what was his reason in trying to consult an occulist: - I was so dazzled for 2 or 3 days that I could hardly see. (because of the very powerful light that I watched for 2-3 seconds.) It was very difficult to see in daylight, and the white substance in my eyes remained red for a couple of days. The difficulties in seeing in daylight and in powerful lamp-light lasted for 7-8 days. After all, I will not consult a doctor, because I haven't had any severe physical or mental symptoms after the event. DULL CAR VARNISH Salvesen, who had a brand new car, noticed by an inspection of it after the event, a round frosted spot on the top of the car. He had, however, not given it further thought. Civil engineer Gunwald Weie, leader of Norsk UFO-Studiegruppe, took a sample from this spot, and also from neutral paint from the car. These samples were submitted to scientific tests in Oslo. According to Reidar Salvesen the following conclusions were drawn: - "The sample from the paint - and pieces of glass - show lower radioactivity than normal. A test with a Geiger counter also shows a completely negative result". - "The Army has shown some interest in the case when measuring the radioactivity of the car. I haven't been in contact with the Air Force, but they have confirmed that there were no aeroplanes in the area on the actual point of time". ADDITIONAL Adviser Salvesen has written a concept on 5 pages, where he gives certain completing information to that which is reported earlier. This "additional report" has been written due to all the questions he has got from mass media and UFO-organizations, regarding the event. We are quoting from the report: - I will strongly point out that I have not the slightest doubt that this was a constructed or a fabricated object. It is completely out of the question that it should have been some sort of celestial body, meteorite etc. The object was watched completely distinctly and clearly. - I also want to point out that the object was very beautiful, it was great fun to study its lines. The glassy surface made a wonderful contrast to the frosty gold colored edge around the object. - It seemed to be extraordinary smooth. There was no roughness and according to my opinion it was, from a constructor's point of view, perfect---and it seemed to be "right" with respect to form and |
