A few people in Ostfold watched a strange light in the Western sky on Saturday evening and in the early hours of Sunday.

Britt Kirsten Pedersen was one of those who saw it:

I found the light at about 20: 00 and went outside on the porch to watch him. The light was incredibly beautiful. It was white, sometimes with a greenish tint.

She took the camera and took a few pictures of the light. Several neighbors also saw the light, among them were Suzanne Linnerud.

Jan Erik Hansen (the lighthouse Keeper in Perdere), said it, maybe it was the light reflected through the clouds.

Usually cases with multiple observers suggests that there are normal explanations, although at that time in the Western sky there was no one particularly bright planet.

The report FOTOCAT Report # 4 clarify: We have not seen the photos in question. There is not enough information.

Original news

14 February 1998, 20:00 – Moss (UFO) Several people in Østfold observed a strange light in the western sky during Saturday night and into the early hours of Sunday. Britt Kirsten Pedersen was one of those who saw it: I discovered the light around 20:00 and went out on the veranda watching it. The light was incredibly beautiful. It was white, sometimes with a greenish tint. She got her camera out and shot some photos of the light. Several neighbors also saw the light, among them Susann Linnerud. Theories put forward by Jan Erik Hansen (lighthouse keeper at Færder) said it might have been the light from the lighthouse reflected through the clouds. Usually multiple-observer cases suggest that conventional explanations exist, although no particularly bright planet was visible in the western sky at that time. We have not seen the photos in question. Insufficient information.
