Initial data
The three women watched the two glowing oval shapes that moved slowly in the air a couple of hours. He was Bodily of Gercaliu (29 years) was the first who saw the light. She was playing cards with Elizabeth Harebrain (38 years old) and Christina Hahaas (38 years old) later that night.
They came out of the hut, and no one believed my own eyes. There was a large glowing oval-size form with four full moons put together in a line, which flashed with even intervals. Over this oval was a point of light that changed color from red to yellow-white.
Elizabeth was a camcorder and she pointed it in the direction where the point broke out periodically. She managed to get one flash to record before the battery runs out.
"Typically, what happens when it is most critical," she said.
They also managed to take some photos of the phenomenon.
Just a few days Erling strand interviewed Mrs. Bodil Gercaliu. He received a written report about the incident, along with 4-5 photos of the phenomenon and the environment. In the report fixed some preliminary information. The exact place of observation was near the lake Vergessen (868 meters above sea level.)
This phenomenon was still visible, when women went to bed at 03: 30. The phenomenon was originally discovered in the North-West (azimuth of about 315°), and for the next two hours he was slowly moving further North (an azimuth of about 350°). The height was estimated at 30° for the large oval and 40° for the red/yellow / white light source. Flash from the oval came up with an interval of 2-9 minutes, the duration of each flash from fractions of a second to three seconds.
Video was taken at 02:50 and one shows the flash before the battery is discharged.
Later when this recording was played in slow motion, the flash has been divided into two separate parts of the flashing signal. Short-lived, a point light source can be seen in the center of the latest outbreak. At the same time I heard a short crackle in the sound channel.
Unfortunately, the video showed no reference points that would indicate the size and/or position effects.
One of the photos taken at 02:40, showed a reddish, diffuse light source, together with white, more concentrated light next.
Unfortunately, the photo was taken without using a tripod or any other support. Therefore, the images were smeared to a greater extent. In addition, no reference point cannot be
proslezhena.
The distance to this phenomenon was assessed by Gercaliu in a couple of kilometers. No sound could be heard.
They had no effects: no physical and/or psychological effects.
Due to the fact that women were alone, they assumed that no one else witnessed the incident. However, it turned out that the øystein Emanuelsen, a farmer living in Dalsbygda (about 40 km to the East-North-East) observed two flashes of light at 00:45 that night. The direction was exactly West (azimuth 270°), and the time between the flashes was about 20-60 seconds.
The report FOTOCAT Report # 4 stated: We believe it is highly probable that the four witnesses observed atmospheric electrical discharges, i.e. lightning, at a distance of 12-15 km and more.

3 August 1991, 01:30 – Svergjesjøen, Nord-Østerdalen Three women observed two luminous oval shapes which moved slowly in the sky for a couple of hours. It was Bodil Gerxhaliu (29) who saw the light first. She was playing cards with Elisabeth Herrebrøden (38) and Kristine Haagaas (38) late at night. They went outside the cabin, and none believed her own eyes. It was a large luminous oval shape – of the size and shape of four full moons stacked together in a line, which blinked with even intervals. Over this oval there was a light point which changed in color from red to yellow-white, the women said. Elisabeth had a video camera, and she directed it towards the point where the oval flashed up intermittently. She managed to get one flash recorded, before the battery exhausted. It is typical that such a thing happens when it’s most critical, she said. They also managed to take some photographs of the phenomenon. Erling Strand interviewed Mrs. Bodil Gerxhaliu just a few days later. He got a written report on the incident, together with 4-5 photos of the phenomenon and the environment. The report corrected some prior information given by the press. Exact place of observation was near Lake Svergjesjøen (868 meters above sea level). The phenomenon was still visible when the women went to bed at 03:30. The phenomenon was initially discovered in the northwest (azimuth circa 315°), and during the next two hours it moved slowly further north (azimuth circa 350°). The elevation was estimated at 30° for the large flashing oval, and 40° for the accompanying red/yellow-white light source. Their relative positions were fixed during the entire observation. The flashes from the oval came at 2-9-minute intervals; duration of each flash was from a split second up to three seconds. The video was shot at 02:50 and shows one flash before the battery was discharged. Later on, when this recording was replayed in slow-motion, the flash resolved into two distinct flashes. A short-lived, point-like light source could be seen in the center of the last flash. A short crack in the sound channel could be heard simultaneously. Unfortunately, the video didn’t show any points of reference, which might have indicated size and/or position of the phenomenon. One of the photographs, taken at 02:40, showed a reddish, diffuse light source, together with a white, more concentrated light beside. Unfortunately, the photo was taken without the use of a tripod or any other support. Hence, the images were smeared to a large extent. In addition, no points of reference could be traced. The distance to the phenomenon was loosely assessed by Mrs. Gerxhaliu to be at least a couple of kilometers. No sound could be heard at any time, nor did they have any aftermath – no physiological and/or psychological effects. Due to the fact that the women were alone, they assumed that no others had witnessed the event. However, it turned out that Mr. Øystein Emanuelsen, a farmer living in Dalsbygda (some 40 km ENE) observed two flashes of light at 00:45 the same night. The direction was due west (azimuth 270°), and the time between flashes was some 20-60 seconds. We consider it very likely that the four witnesses observed atmospheric electrical discharges, i.e. lightning, 12-15 km or more away.
Hypotheses
The storm
The storm is an atmospheric phenomenon in which the inside of clouds or between the cloud and the earth's surface arise electrical discharges - lightning accompanied by thunder. It is quite a common natural phenomenon in certain situations could be considered something abnormal, such as when it appears under unusual conditions or unfamiliar to the eyewitness. A vivid example is the so-called "snow storm" (or "snow storm"), i.e. thunderstorm, which is when rain falls heavy snow, freezing rain or ice pellets.
