Observations of
unidentified submarine objects in Norway
by Ole Jonny
Brænne
At 11:15
a.m. on Sunday, June 1, 1958, a silent "unknown aircraft" with no
identifying markers crashed into the Alta Fjord. At the impact site, 70
meters deep, a column of water rose up. The aircraft resembled a twin-engine
delta-winged jet. The witnesses were Bjørn Taraldsen, Nils M. Turi, Kate
Julsen, and Rasmus Hykkerud. When others arrived half an hour later, all they found were a number
of dead fish. The frigate KNM Arendal
and the submarine KNM Sarpen, along
with divers, searched for the aircraft fruitlessly for over a week. The Arendal, however, did get a sonar reading of
a mobile object.
