Isaac Akhtar pointed out a red light West of the lake Ayungin. Andreas Olsen thought he saw a light a moment ago, but he was convinced that it was the tail light of the car. When Akhtar saw him, he came to the same conclusion. The light moved West from Bravo at a rather high speed. Then Akhtar studied the light through a 200-millimeter lens of his camera.

He saw that the light changes color from red to yellow, and is moving towards Bravo very quickly. For Akhtar, the light source seemed to be very large, it completely covered the field of view through the camera lens, and he was completely blind.

When the object shifted from red to yellow, Akhtar began shooting with his camera. The light was moving back and forth through Ayungin before it disappeared to the South. Immediately after the light disappeared for Moreworked, the Western part of lake Ayungin was lit like a giant spotlight. The line between the bright circle and the dark environment was well defined.

"Spotlight" was not visible, but it seemed that the light had gave up from the point at where the ball of light that just disappeared.

In the middle of the lake there is an island Ayungin (Storholmen). This island was not visible in the dark, but as "the searchlight was - we could clearly see the entire island, even details such as trees.

So it was on the Western shore of the lake.

“Spotlight” has searched the Western part of the lake, while he was "on and off".” The light was extremely intense.

The next part of the observations were made by Akhtar Isaac. When he studied the dark surface of the lake with his camera, a light circle formed on the lake, between the island of Storholmen and South-West
Bank. The light was bluish, as burning gas, but not so intense. It reminded me of another Northern lights that can often be seen in this part of the country, but by far it was not very similar. This light seemed to be emanating from a submerged person.

And Andreas and Akhtar checked the sky for the Northern lights, but it wasn't. It was heavily overcast, and no reflection from the sky was not visible at the lake. This "placed" the light slowly disappeared. Akhtar tried to take several photos of the phenomenon, but the light was too weak to appear the film.

Andreas and Akhtar noticed that while “the spotlight” covered the lake Ayungin, some small, compact fog “balls” floated from the lake to them, getting to camp about one minute, but they passed.

Both crew members of "Bravo" experienced this last observation over lake as a dramatic and frightening.

The camera was mounted on a tripod, equipped with the engine and the time between each exposure was less than 1/2. He used a 200 mm lens at f-stop 5.6 and 1/125 sec. The distance to the lights is estimated at 3 km.

Original news

11 October 1997, 23:45 – Morkavollhøgda, Hessdalen, Holtålen Akhtar Issak pointed out a red light west of Lake Øyungen. Andreas Olsen thought that he had seen the light one minute earlier, but he was convinced that it was the taillight of a car. When Akhtar caught sight of it, he came to the same conclusion. The light was traveling westward away from Bravo at a rather high speed. Akhtar then studied the light through the 200mm lens of his camera. He saw that the light changed color from red to yellow, and was moving towards Bravo very quickly. For Akhtar, the light source seemed to be very big, it completely covered his field of vision through the camera lens, and he was completely blinded. When the object shifted from red to yellow, Akhtar started to shoot with his camera. The light moved back and forth over Øyungen before it disappeared in the south. Immediately after the light disappeared “behind Morkavollhogda,” the western part of Lake Øyungen was illuminated as by an enormous spotlight. The line between the light circle and the dark surroundings was well defined. “The spotlight” was not in sight, but it seemed like the light was emitted from a point behind Morkavollhogda Mountain where the light ball had just disappeared. In the middle of Lake Øyungen there is an island (Storholmen). This island was not visible in the dark, but as “the spotlight was turned on,” we could clearly see the whole island, even details such as trees. This was also the case for the western shore of the lake. “The spotlight” searched the western part of the lake, while it “was turned on and off.” The light was enormously intense. The next part of the observation was by Akhtar Issak alone. As he studied the dark surface of the lake through his camera, a light circle formed on the lake, between Storholmen island and the southwestern shore. The light was bluish, like burning gas, but not so intense. It resembled more the northern lights that are often seen in this part of the country, but far from lightening the sky, this light seemed to be emitted from a submerged source. Both Andreas and Akhtar checked the sky for northern lights, but it was heavily clouded, and no reflection from the sky was visible on the lake. The “submerged” light slowly vanished. Akhtar tried to shoot some photos of the phenomenon, but the light was too faint to expose the film. Both Andreas and Akhtar noticed that only while “the spotlight” was illuminating Lake Øyungen, some small, compact fog “globes” came drifting from the lake towards them, wrapping up the camp for approximately one minute as they passed by. Both members of the Bravo crew experienced this last observation over Lake Øyungen as dramatic and frightening. The camera was mounted on a tripod, equipped with a motor, and the time between each exposure was less than 1/2 second. He used a 200mm lens, of 5.6 aperture, and shutter speed 1/125 sec. The distance to the light was estimated at 3 km.
