Original news
10 March 1977, 22:15 – Ålesund A luminous object quite low in the western sky, moving south-west, was seen. Torkild Børs Lind managed to shoot four photos of the light. Two of the photos were time-exposures of 2.5 minutes each. The photos show the course of the object. He followed the light for about 10 minutes. One of the time-exposure photos was published in the newspaper, showing the three lights of the radio tower on top of the Aksla Mountain to the left, and the object to the right. We can see from this photo that the object has traveled down and to the right, following the rotation of the Earth. Both planets Jupiter and Venus were visible in the western sky at the time. Venus eventually set on the NW horizon at 23:45, and it seems to be the culprit.

The heavenly bodies
The brightest heavenly bodies in the sky are Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars and, of course, the Moon.
Venus is the bright yellow of the evening or morning star, shining in the sky on the background of evening or dawn. Maximum brightness of Venus can reach up to 4.3 m, and she is the third brightness of the sun in earth's sky after the sun and the moon. It so well reflects the light of the Sun that it is relatively easy to see and day, especially if you know the location. It manifests itself in the form of tiny blinking white dots.
