lasted to around 3 o'clock am, i.e. for more than two hours. Both objects disappeared at a great speed in a skewed angle to the horizon. Before disappearing, the main object became smaller and smaller, thus indicating a gradual withdrawal along the line of sight.

Support from other witnesses

Just about a week later, UFO-Norge received a telephone call from Oslo from a woman who wanted to be anonymous. She told that she and her boyfriend had pitched their camp at a desolate mountain site called Kraekkja (situated ca. 80 km WSW of Torpo) just before the actual observing date for the Tonnings.

On 13 July at 2.20 am she happened to move outside the camping van and caught sight of a powerful light in the sky, which she at first believed to be the moon. The direction was ENE. However, she quickly realized that this couldn't be so, since the light moved and it wasn't as large as the moon. She looked at the phenomenon for 5 minutes and then went inside and woke up her boyfriend. Together they stood outside observing it for another 5 minutes until they both went inside in order to get warm again, due to the cold night.

A later analysis reveals that the direction of the object seen from Kraekkja corresponds closely with that observed to the WSW by Mr. Tonning and his companions (the second object), after compensating for the geographical separation between the different observers (see map). Some clues indicate that the distance to the object seen from Kraekkja was less than that seen from the Tonnings' place.
