The investigation reportedly also revealed that the "saucer" crashed due to a malfunction in its radio guidance system.
It carried no crew, had a diameter of 48.44 meters, and consisted of a disc equipped around its perimeter with 48 automatic jet engines, rotating around a central sphere containing measuring instruments and remote control equipment.
These instruments, according to "Der Flieger", bore inscriptions in the Russian language.
Norwegian military authorities state that the report published by the German magazine "Der Flieger" is entirely unfounded.
