Oslo, 14 May. -- Air Command North received a number of reports that indicate that the flying objects observed over the Finnmark Province, Norway, at 12:10 on May 13 were not conventional aircraft or meteorological balloons. Sheriff Oskal of Kautokeino, three of his deputies, and two clerks observed the three objects through binoculars for 4-5 minutes. Oskal described them as flying in formation at an altitude of about 2,000 meters, being triangular in shape, reddish brown on the underside and shiny on the upper side, and moving with a rotary motion. They left no smoke. The weather was clear and visibility perfect.
