RESTRICTED An ONL plane enroute from Aalborg, Denmark, to Oslo, Norway, sighted a projectile coming from the southeast, passing along the Swedish Coast and disappearing over Norway. The missile was at 20,000 ft and disappeared over the horizon in four seconds. It emitted a bluish-green flame but left no trail in the sky. The projectile seemed to follow the earth's surface. NOTE: Similar missiles have been observed at Rjukan, Norway & Finse, Norway. In this connection, it is of interest to know that heavy water is currently being produced in Rjukan. Observers: A Norwegian pilot and his co-pilot. The pilot served with the Royal Norwegian AF in Great Britain. RESTRICTED 88a
