Luleaa -~- A snowstorm on 17 May made it impossible for the Gaellivare :
police to investigate the celestial objects which were recently seen in various >
places in northern Norrbotten Province. The police do not think that the ob-
jects were meteorological balloons-but donot have any theories to account for
the sightings. The latest eyewitness account was given by Valdemar Ylinentalo
from Kuusijaervi, who declared that he saw a silvery foottdll-shaped object
coming from the Finnish side of the boundary; it had a fiery tail 70-80 meters
long and appeared to descend to earth about baif 4 kilometer from where he was.

Jenny Karlsson, another eyewitness, stated that’ she saw a sphere-sheped ob-
ject attached to a meter-long rod pass her at a distance of 4-5 meters [sic]
and come to earth in the forest, & short distance from her. No traces of this

object have been found. :
