This kind of sensation took place on February 23, when the residents of the village of Nickel and the military personnel of the nearest outposts witnessed an enchanting spectacle for one hour.

At 19 hours and 10 minutes, two bright parallel beams of light directed towards the ground emanated from an unidentified object, motionless above the ground.

At 20 hours and 20 minutes, the object began to move away until it disappeared from the field of view and from the instruments of the military

observers.

This UFO phenomenon was registered by our locators, who are monitoring

the boundaries of the northern border. According to their testimony, the object was located at a distance of 200 kilometers from the observation site and at an altitude of 50 kilometers.

Since this is already the territory of Finland, our services have removed it from control.
