SIGHTING: STEINKJER, NORD-TRØNDELAG (NORWAY)

Witness Testimony

"6/24/2011-LightI was walking with one friend to Steinkjer. At 14:25 we were 1.6 km south-east of Steinker. At this time we saw a light in the sky move from north to south. The light moved from one side of the sky to the other in less than 20 seconds, a very great speed as I am sure you will agree. The light also looked like it was very high in the sky, maybe two or three times the altitude airliners fly at, but I cannot be sure. The object was almost as bright (vivid?) as the Sun looks in the sky, and about 25% as large as the Sun looks in the sky, so quite easy to see. The shape of the light: Ellipse. The light did leave behind a condensation track, so the light must have been hot.When I saw this light I thought it was a meteoroid, as I have seen videos of meteoroids which looked similar to what I saw. When I got home that evening, myself and my freind who also saw this light used the internet to understand and research what we had seen. Strangely, no websites, not even websites that measured meteoroid activity over Scandinavia had information on what we saw. There was nothing on these websites yesterday, and nothing today. These websites are 'updated' every 1 hour, too. There seems to be NO information on what I saw, which is strange. Because of this, I am not sure what we saw.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)) "
