In August 1984, the newspaper Verdens Gang published a photograph of a UFO taken by Paul Christian Wagom the year before:

"I called my mother, so she went outside and saw what was floating next to our yard, but unfortunately it did not, and the house was no one else.

Distance to the spacecraft was 150-200 m. I did not hear any sound, everything was absolutely quiet. Suddenly the color of the object changed from bright silver to dull gray and he ran like it
someone kicked him."

Waag believes that the object was supposed to be 10-15 meters in diameter. He definitely States that the picture is genuine:

I'm not really interested in photography and have no idea how to make such a fake.

The newspaper continued the story in the following days. reporters consulted experts at the air base At Rygge, and at SINTEF/NTH (now NTNU, University of Trondheim), while
VG are unable to provide assistance to researchers NIVFO.

Jan S. Krogu and björn Erlandsen managed to interview Vaga who took basic army training at the University.

"I was sitting on the doorstep, tying the laces, when in the South-East from the hill descended some object. I ran into the house to fetch the camera. But I was a bit paralyzed. My brain wanted me gone, but my body could not do. I managed to make only one picture object.

First, he had a metal color, later it changed to greyish. I just moved gameroot my eyes when the object disappeared with a jerk in the mist, in the blink of an eye to the East. All the observation lasted about two minutes. I felt deeply surprised. Before I fell asleep tonight I lay awake thinking about what happened. I think that the object was a space ship."

Finally, on 20 February 1985, Verdens Gang announced that the UFO photo from Paul Christian Waage were fake. NIVFO sent a photo of GSW (the now-defunct American UFO organization, which first turned to the computer for photographic analysis, and those methods were later very much raskritikoval) GSW Analysis showed that the object is a suspended model.

Vaagu when told about the findings, he confessed to the fraud.

Original news

19 August 1983, 13:00 – Aure, Nordmøre In August 1984, the Verdens Gang newspaper published a UFO photo, shot by Pål Kristian Vaag one year before: I called my mother to come outside to see what was hovering close to our courtyard, but unfortunately she didn’t, and there was no one else at home. The distance to the space ship was 150-200 meters. I heard no sound – everything was absolutely silent. Suddenly the color of the object changed from bright silver to dim gray, and it rushed as if it was kicked by somebody. Vaag thinks the object must have been 10-15 meters in diameter. He definitely declares the picture is genuine. I’m not at all interested in photography, and I have no idea how to make such a forgery, he says. The newspaper followed up the story on the following days, with news on the developing investigation. Experts were consulted at the Air Force Base at Rygge, as well as at SINTEF/NTH (now NTNU, University of Trondheim), yet VG failed to provide assistance to NIVFO researchers. Jan S. Krogh and Bjørn Erlandsen managed to interview Vaag, who was in his basic army training at the time: I was sitting on the doorstep outside the house, tying my shoelaces, when an object came down the hillside in the southeast. I ran into the house to fetch a camera. But I was a bit paralyzed. My brain wanted me to go, but my body would not. I managed to take only one picture of the object. At first, the light had a metallic color, later it changed into grayish. I had just moved the camera from my eye when the object disappeared with a jerk into the mist, in an easterly direction. The whole observation lasted for about two minutes. I felt deeply surprised during the whole observation. Before I fell asleep that evening, I was lying awake a very long time, as I was thinking over the observation. I think the object was a space ship, either from space or from the Earth, preferably from space, Vaag told the investigators. Finally, on February 20, 1985, Verdens Gang announced (again on the front page) that the UFO photo by Pål Kristian Vaag was a fake. SUFOI had sent the photo to GSW (an already defunct US UFO organization which first applied computers to photographic analysis, which techniques were later very much criticized). GSW analysis showed the object to be a suspended model. When Vaag was told of the findings, he confessed the hoax.

Deliberate falsification

This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.

There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.

Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.
