The shining ball of light lit the sky and the valley with a reddish glow. Photo was taken Mary Ann Berg.

Her husband, Kare Berg was also a witness. The ball was absolutely silent, with a stable exchange rate.

It was moving North through the valley, keeping the same altitude throughout its flight. Then, just before he vanished, flashed red lights, similar to welding flames leap out of the darkness.

The light flashed around the globe until it disappeared completely.

The NUFOC has been submitted to the Department of astrophysics, University of Oslo: we measured the blackening of the film using
micro-densitometer. It shows that the camera was not in focus, and all images have a bright ring just inside the edge of the bright region.

This is also reflected in the copies (the negatives).

If we consider the report, the witnesses describe the apparent size of the object is about 0.5 º (pea), but
the picture shows it as the object of about two degrees. This means that the camera must have been out of focus.

As explained by the consultant andrés Duarte, this is not the image of the observed object, and the shadow of the diaphragm of the camera
or iris and some concentric diffraction rings.

The actual appearance of the object is not visible.

Original news

20 February 1976, evening – Steinsholt, Numedal (UFO) A shining ball of light, gliding through the evening darkness, illuminating the valley with a reddish glow, was filmed by Mary Anne Berg. Her husband, Kåre Berg, was also a witness. It was completely soundless, with a steady course northwards through the valley, maintaining the same altitude during its entire flight. Then, just before it disappeared, flashing red lights were emitted, resembling welding flames pouring out in the darkness. The light flashed in a series around the ball, until it disappeared completely. The film was submitted by NUFOC to the Department of Astrophysics at the University of Oslo: We have measured the blackening of the film with our micro-densitometer. This shows that the camera was out of focus, while all the pictures have a light ring just inside the edge of the light area. This is also apparent on copies (negatives) of the movie. If one examines the report of the witnesses, the apparent size of the object is said to be about 0.5º (a pea), but the film shows it as about two degrees. This indicates that the camera adjustment must have been out of focus. As consultant Andrés Duarte explains, this image is not that of the observed object, but the camera aperture’s shadow or iris and some concentric diffraction rings. Nothing is seen of the object’s actual appearance.
