1958: June UFO & Alien Sightings

Date: June 1 1958
Location: Alta fjord Norway
Time: 11:15 a.m.
Summary: At 11:15 a.m. on Sunday, June 1, 1958, a silent “unknown aircraft” with no identifying markers crashed into the Alta fjord. At the impact site, 70 meters deep, a column of water rose up. The aircraft resembled a twin-engine delta-winged jet. The witnesses were Bjørn Taraldsen, Nils M. Turi, Kate Julsen, and Rasmus Hykkerud. When others arrived half an hour later, all they found were a number of dead fish. The frigate KNM Arendal and the submarine KNM Sarpen, along with divers, searched for the aircraft fruitlessly for over a week. The Arendal, however, did get a sonar reading of a mobile object.

Summary: USAF 1st Lt. Charles Scharf, pilot of F102 jet fighter (no. 1425) with 318th FI Sq. McChord AFB, Tacoma, Wash., and ground witnesses [?] saw a pinkish-whitish cylindrical object (length/width ratio 12:1) with a slight orange tint [?] and a dark circle in the center approaching at high speed at about 30° elevation with an oscillating motion. F-102 was heading S or 180° between 40,000 and 50,000 ft at about 600 mph. Pilot banked left to keep object in sight, object continued N, then climbed, decelerated, made a large 360° orbit, then circled the jet 3 times as it descended closer. Object finally pitched up 45° and accelerated in a climb, rapidly disappearing on a NW heading.

Summary: Three of us, myself and two companions, had gone out to sea to drop our nets. It was 12 years ago, June 12, 1958. It was a very clear night, with a starry sky and the sea was calm. We saw a big shining dot of light in the sky, orange-coloured, with a touch of red to it. It grew bigger, and then it began to descend very fast towards the sea and soon it was a great big globe which was lying on the surface of the water. “Just lightly touching the waves it remained there stationary for several minutes, but we had the impression that it was revolving, like a wheel turning round and round on the same place. It caused a strong air displacement, for we could see the water being whipped up all around it. After that, the ball came rolling towards us, just gently brushing the water. We weren’t a bit happy at the sight of this ‘globular wheel’ bearing down on our boat. Terrified, one of our party shouted. ‘It’s going over us!’ “The fantastic wheel didn’t in fact go over us but it passed very close by, making such big waves that we nearly capsized. When it was close to us we now felt very powerful heat from the thing and a strong blast of air. As it went by we heard a faint humming from it, like the hum of a swarm of cockchafers. Comparing it with our boat, its diameter seemed to have possibly been about 4 metres. Stupefied, we just watched it vanish at great speed. It moved along by leaps, now half disappearing among the waves, now skimming along on top of them. Then it did a right-hand turn and disappeared on the horizon, “It did not give out any flash or beam of light; it was simply a revolving ball or wheel, with no change of colour. “We lost no time in getting back to land, returning sooner than we had meant to. One of my mates said: · ‘Perhaps it’s a flying saucer that has dropped down from the sky.’ “We didn’t dare to tell anybody what we had seen. They would simply have laughed at us. It was some time before we took our nets out again, so afraid were we of seeing that fantastic ball again, but we never did see it again. We have no idea what it could have been.”
