Documents:

• Some frame-by-frame analysis was attempted to obtain information on the movement/motion of the UI and the purported light streak. There is inconsistent data relative to the movement of the UI due to camera motion.
• The aspect ratio (physical measured size) of the UI remains constant for the duration of the filming.

Conclusions

It is our opinion that this photograph is worthy of further study to attempt to identify the origin. On the negative side, the strangeness index of the photograph is lowered appreciably because of the relatively stationary position of the UI and its constant size (at least on the VHS version of the UI filming).

Critics will be quick to point out that the parameters of this sighting lead to the "object" being attributable to a bright planet. The witness stated the UI was viewed for over 2 hours.

On the positive side of the sighting both the shape and size of the "object" place it with an unknown evaluation status. The UI is not any known conventional source/phenomena.

A frame by frame evaluation has started on the image.

Attachment reveals partial information about the X & the Y coordinates and relative size of the UI.

Because the photographer did not image any reference points nor is a loss of UI perspective obvious, we are left with further evaluation of the images size and shape being necessary to finalize the interpretation.

The present conclusion of the video (June 1988), is that an intensive, concentrated light source with a large angular diameter has been depicted. So far, there is no evidence indicating a natural or artificial, man-made origin.

Even if it should turn out that these images do not depict any bona fide UFOs, the video may be an important contribution to illustrate how possible known phenomena appear in the sky under certain circumstances. This however, will certainly only hold true when (or if) these phenomena unequivocally are identified as such.

Furthermore, if any important information should surface, we will return to this case later on in Nordic UFO Newsletter.
