In a newspaper article said that several people had reported seeing an oval object in the shape of saucers, slowly sliding along the valley of Grorud in Oslo.

The object was seen both on radar and visually for several minutes. Five minutes later, it just disappeared. He must have either vanished, or disappeared with incredible speed. The object slowly glided over the valley and was visible in clear weather.

The sun reflected on the shiny metallic surface, as he banked gently, as if changing direction.

I ran inside to get the camera ... and took a picture just before he disappeared, was quoted by Eivind Sjåstad.

The article also referred to a Forbo from Rolf Norsk UFO center.

The report FOTOCAT Report # 4 stated: Both of these men do not exist, and the picture-a crude hoax (installation).

Original news

18 July 1984, day – Oslo A newspaper article says that several people reported seeing an oval saucershaped object glide slowly down Grorud Valley in Oslo. The object was visible both to radar and to the eye for several minutes. After five minutes it just disappeared. It must have either dissolved or gone away with an incredible speed. The object came gliding slowly along the valley, and was plainly visible in the clear weather. The sun reflected on a shiny metallic surface while it banked carefully as if to change direction. I ran inside to get the camera and shot a photo right before it disappeared, Eivind Sjåstad is quoted as saying. The article also refers to one Rolf Forbo from Norsk Ufologisk Forening. Both of these people are non-existent, and the photo is a crude hoax (a montage).

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.
