Summary: It involved the contingent of the Royal Navy’s North Atlantic Fleet which had been participating in exercises off Norway for about three days. Briefly, the incident occurred at 3:15 AM somewhere in the Artic Ocean, between Spitzbergen Island and Norway (30-50 miles off the Norway coast). The object was tracked on the ship’s radar at 35,000′ and then by sonar after it entered the water and was tracked at 50′ below the surface and continued into deep water at a range of 20,000 yards. The radar signature indicated it was 100′ to 120′ in diameter. Object was also tracked by other ships and the order was issued for the fleet to execute an evasive “Z” pattern maneuver. Jets were scrambled. The duration was at least 15-20 minutes and the incident included maneuvering. No visuals were made. .
