Map showing the observation sites together with the two objects' line of sight.

When Mr. Tonning replayed the videotape on his recorder at home, he was rather disappointed at first. The image of the phenomena captured by his camera didn't appear quite as impressive as the actual observation through binoculars. The video-camera was equipped with a zoom lens with an 6X magnification. However, when using the recorder's stationary image option, many of the details became visible again.

UFO-Norge visits Mr. Tonning

Representatives from UFO-Norge in Tonsberg paid a visit to Mr. Torfinn Tonning (living in the town of Skien, situated in the southeastern part of Southern Norway), after his case was briefly presented by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. The investigators were highly impressed by the movie together with the accompanying report, and shortly afterwards the research began to take shape.

One might add that Mr. Tonning is in his 40's, currently holds a position in the City Council, and is considered generally as a very reliable person; this certainly adds further credibility to his report.

Meanwhile, the case began to attract wide attention and the daily life of Mr. Tonning was affected rather severely. Newspapers and other mass-media were very interested and his telephone was never silent. Considering the commotion that his observation aroused, he would hardly make such an observation public once more, given the possibility of another spectacular UFO-sighting.
