Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency foreign press report, distributed on 13 November 1952, translates an article from a Norwegian newspaper published in Harstad on 20 September 1952. According to the article, three forestry workers just outside Kirkenes saw a flat, round object on 18 September at 1400 hours. It hovered motionless at about 500 meters, was an estimated 15 to 20 meters across and then flew off northwest at great speed. Only these three workers appear to have seen it.
