Observer: Bjørn and Bjarne Lillevold
Bjørn and Bjarne were working with a car out on the yard at home.
They suddenly became aware of a big black vertical "stick", just above the automatic station.
The lower part of the "stick" did make a blue-green flash now and then. It could go minutes between each flash.
It moved slowly towards south, in direction Rognsåsjøen.
It disappeared behind the mountain 15 minutes later.

Rutt-Marry went to the window facing north, in her sitting-room, looking for the flowers.
She become aware of a strong light in the north, just above the cowhouse of her neighbour. She saw that the light
was moving straight up. Rutt-Marry called Hallfrid Lillevold, and asked her if she and Bjarne could go
out and look for the light. They did not see any light. It could have disappeared before they went out, because
Rutt-Marry saw it disappeared just after she had called them.
The light was orange coloured, and it was a little bit smaller than the moon.

Date: 14.08.2002 Time: 5:20 P.M. Place: Vårhuskjølen in Hessdalen
Observers: Anders, Birgitta and Linn Berglund
Anders Berglund from Østersund in Sweden, together with his wife Birgitta, and dother Linn,
had been on holiday for three days at a cottage in Finsådalen. They had just started driving
on the mountain road up towards Vårhuskjølen when Birgitta saw an "object". In the beginning they thought
it was a plane.
She told Anders, who stopped the car at once, and took his binoculars and jumped out of the car.
It was hard to get a good view of it in the beginning. It was moving from the south towards the north.
When it was coming nearer, it was possible to see that it was cigar shaped. It looked like a plane without any wings or engines.
The color was light with dark lines across the body. No sounds could be heard. The speed was approx. 100 km/h,
so it was moving fast. It moved straight above our heads, and disappeared behind the mountains in the north.

Date: 10.08.2002 Time: 7:00 P.M. Place: Gruvdalen, southwest of lake Hessjøen in Hessdalen
Observers: Anonymous
A person went picking berries in Gruvdalen. At about 7 P.M., that person was high up in the mountainside,
picking cloudberry. The person sat down to rest, and had a good view towards the mountains north-east of
lake Hessjøen. The person saw something that looked like a fire, in the mountainside
on mount Grønåshøgda. Using binoculars, the person saw that it was an object,
with the same colors as a fire. It was as big as a big tree, a spruce. It was oval shaped, standing
on the short egde. After some minutes, the light moved down the mountainside, and disappeared behing Hessjøhøgda
between lake Hessjøen and Gruvdalen. This observation make a strong impression on the person who was alone.

Observers: Researchers from Italy and USA
The researchers run a research project in Hessdalen between August 5. to August 18.
Some observations were done during that periode. Most of the observations were done
from the hill Aspåskjølen.

Date: 06.08.2002 Time: 11:30 P.M. Place: Hessdalen
Observers: Terje, Rune and Erland Nytveit, Kjell-Åke and Lena Modt, Linda Moulton Howe
Terje Nytveit, and his sons Rune and Erland, were standing at the parking place north in Hessdalen.
There were also Kjell-Åke modt and his wife Lena Modt.
In north-north-east, about 50° above the horizon, did they
see a light moving in the south-east direction. The size was like a strong star.
Suddenly it was gone. - Linda Moulton Howe was at Aspåskjølen, facing north, interviewing
people. All the other observers at Aspåskjølen were looking towards south.
The observation lasted only some seconds. Based on
NASA's database, there was only satelite
Oscar 32 which was nearest to the observation.

Date: 05.08.2002 Time: 09:27 P.M. Place: Aspåskjølen, north in Hessdalen
Observers: Ewy Moberg and Erik Lindquist
Ewy and Erik was standing on Aspåskjølen looking for the light.
At 9:27 P.M. did they see a light in direction 261°, just above the horizon of mount Finnsåhøgda.
It was as strong as a strong planet, and it was clouds in behind.
Erik was looking at it with binoculars. Suddenly it started to spinn, and move fast down behind the horizon.
Comments: - The planet Venus was in direction 255°, 10° above the
horizon. The top of mount Finnsåhøgda is 6.3° above the horizon, when you are at Aspåskjølen.
It should then be possible to see Venus just above the edge of mount Finnsåhøgda.
This could be the explanation of this sightning. When he saw that it started to spinn, and move fast down, might then be due to
moisture in the air. What is difficult to explain, is the clouds that was seen behind the light.
That is the reason for why you find the story here.

Observer: Rutt-Marry Moe
Rutt-Marry was driving home from the store in Hessdalen, which is located close by the church.
When she was at Trøan, just north of the community centre, a little bit south of Heggset,
did she see a black or blackgrey flying "thing" down at the river.
It had wings, but no windows. It was flying towards south, very close to the river. She was looking down at it.
She believde it was a plane, but wondered how a plane could fly so close to the ground.
Comment: Could this be a drone from the military? At 4.40 P.M. did I (Erling Strand)
see a big plane from the military, fly very low in Hessdalen. Bjørn-Gitle Hauge and
some friends was at mount Finnsåhøgda south, and saw the plane in the same
elevation as they. This is very low for such a big plane.
