Spitzbergen
In June 1952 stories were beginning to come out in the German Press about an
alleged UFO crash on the island of Spitzbergen, off the northern coast of Norway.
The stories reported that 6 Norwegian jets were on an exercise flying over the Hinlopen Straits
when radio contact was lost due to heavy static interference. At the same time the
local radar post at Narvik, was showing a distorted signal of the jet fighters as
well as the presence of a UFO.
Whilst the jets were circling, the captain , Olaf Larsen spotted a large metaliic disc in the snow
which looked as if it had crashed. The captain reported his findings, which led to search and recover
teams being sent to the reported location.
When the teams arrived they described the craft as 150ft in diameter and that it was
giving off radioactive emmissions. The craft was also described as silver in coulr and had
strange symbols written on the outside. The teams assumed that this was a Russian test aircraft
which had flown out of control. The craft was shipped to Narvik where it was examined.
The results of the investigation were not released for 2 years, and the report
stated that the craft was not of Russian origin, but was a craft that had not
been built by any country on earth. They stated that the material that the craft was constructed from
could not be identified.
Unfortunatly these reportes were never verified and many people now feel that once
again that this story is most likely a hoax.
