changing output from strong to weak.

"The light was fixed in the sky like the evening star, but its light was so much stronger", Karl recalls. "I observed it in the same direction as the constellation Orion. The odd thing was that it apparently shone right through the fog and vapor which lay above the terrain. I sat there, wondering if I should fetch Elna and drive towards the other side of the lake at Lockne. From that viewpoint I should be able to see what this phenomenon could be, I thought.

But then the light began to move. It glided slowly above the water towards the side where I was. I was sitting fascinated in my car and just watched how the light hovered in over the landscape upwards against the nearby hilltop of Farskinnsberget".

"With my binoculars I saw it was some kind of a craft. It was composed of some 20 squared sections. Each section appeared as a large window with a light inside. The craft was some 150 meters long and almost 10 meters high, I calculated. It was about 1.5 km from the mountain where it was hovering, to where I was".

"I ran inside and fetched Elna, and at the same time phoned our neighbor and told him what I just had seen", Karl relates. "Elna followed me out and we sat in the car for a long time. We had only one pair of binoculars and being very eager to observe, we nearly quarreled, both of us fighting to use it".

"Yes, I got angry with Karl", Elna admits with a smile. "I just got the binoculars to see the object for a short while, then he almost forced them away from me again. After a while I got so bored I went in to bed".

When Karl was left on his own in the car, something very strange happened. From one side of the craft another object appeared, sliding away. It was saucer shaped and also shone brightly. It descended slowly between the trees and landed somewhere on the mountain. A moment afterwards another saucer appeared, but this one disappeared soundlessly at an unbelievable speed, in the direction of Froson.

At 9.45 pm an airplane from Linjeflyg (a national air carrier) came enroute from Stockholm. "When the airplane appeared, it seemed as if they tried to hide", Karl says. "Suddenly a thick, white smoke was pumped out of the object and soon afterwards it was invisible, looking like a cloud when the plane passed. A few moments later the smoke was sucked into the object again, and once more I could see the craft clearly in the binoculars".

"I just gave up. The whole event was so unreal. My neighbor, Hakan Forslund, just came by and we discussed what this object could be. Then the object took off soundlessly and flew outwards over the lake in the vicinity of Lockne church. Here it hovered motionless for a while. Suddenly the lights went off and the object was gone. "There go the fuses", my neighbor commented, rather laconic. He was feeling cold and a short while after the disappearing of the ship, he went home. I sat once more alone in the car".

Sheer terror

After a rather long period of time Karl observed a glow on the hillside of Farskinnsberget. It grew stronger and after a while he saw the same ship, with a powerful light, hovering in the air.

"Possibly they had returned with their lights off. Now, a powerful light beam shot out from the object, making it probable that they were searching for something in the terrain. The light was very intense and scanned to and fro on the ground. The cone of light stopped intermittently by a house or something else.

At this point there was no doubt that they were looking for something or someone.

The light steadily came closer to me, and suddenly the car was hit by it! The light was almost unbelievably powerful and I became filled with terror. When looking out to the other side of the car the shadow was black as coal and seemed very threatening. It was impossible for me to escape that way, I felt. Inside the light, I could glimpse as it were a long, long tunnel and I was on the verge of being pulled through
