Initial data
Odberg bakk and Leif Yonhap observed a luminous object low over the ground near the horizon, directly over the nearest hilltop. It was like a full moon if it split in the middle.
The object also appeared to move up and down, slowly moving to the right. The color changed between orange-red and white. He became gradually weaker for some time before disappearing completely.
All observation lasted for 40 minutes. The sound was not.
The report FOTOCAT Report # 4 States: Sunny weather, 0°C. Five photos was taken with on camera Konica C-35 with 38 mm lens, speed of 1/60 of a second. Sunset was at 22:49, so the sky still had some daylight.
The planet Jupiter was at 18° In the SE at 00: 15, decreasing to 15° at 00: 55 (-2.22 magnitude, bright enough, but too high).
The planet Mars was 15 degrees in the West at 00: 15, reduced to 11° at 00: 55 (magnitude of 1.31, it's too dark).
The moon was at 6º the height of the horizon West to North-West (WNW) at the beginning of the observation and 2º rose in the North-West at the end, presenting yourself a very good candidate to explain the case.
The problem is that the phase seems too early to provide this image. Probably the pictures were taken not on a specified day, a few days later.

26 May 1993, 00:15 - Kyrksæterøra, Hemne Oddbjørg Bakk and Leif Aunhaug observed a luminous object low on the horizon, just above a nearby hill-top. It looked like the full moon if it had split in the middle. It also seemed to move up and down while slowly moving to the right. The color changed between orange-red and white. It grew gradually weaker for a while, before disappearing completely. The whole observation lasted 40 minutes. No sound. Clear weather, 0°C. Five photos were shot with a Konica C-35 camera with 38mm lens, speed 1/60 second. Sunset was at 22:49 hours, so there was still some daylight remaining in the sky. The planet Jupiter was at 18° in the SW at 00:15, descending to 15° at 00:55 (magnitude -2.22, bright enough but too high). The planet Mars was at 15° in the west at 00:15, descending to 11° at 00:55 (magnitude 1.31, too dark). But the moon was at 6º elevation in the WNW horizon at the beginning of the sighting and at 2º elevation in the NW at the end, posing as a very good candidate to explain the case. The problem is that its phase seems too early to provide this image. We wonder if the pictures were really taken a few days later.
Hypotheses
The heavenly bodies
The brightest heavenly bodies in the sky are Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars and, of course, the Moon.
Venus is the bright yellow of the evening or morning star, shining in the sky on the background of evening or dawn. Maximum brightness of Venus can reach up to 4.3 m, and she is the third brightness of the sun in earth's sky after the sun and the moon. It so well reflects the light of the Sun that it is relatively easy to see and day, especially if you know the location. It manifests itself in the form of tiny blinking white dots.
