Dish water of Kuusamo 1971

Very few UFO cases have been so largely discussed in public in Finland as the UFO case of Saapunki (in Kuusamo, Northern Finland, near the Russian border) in 1971. 

In the years 1969-71 there was the UFO wave of Pudasjärvi-Kuusamo. Typical to the UFO flaps and waves is that they mostly happen in mountain areas. The most southern fells (mountains, on top of which no trees are growing) are in Pudasjärvi and Kuusamo 

It was an early wintermorning on 3.1.1971, when Mauno and Martti Talala, a country couple, were drinking morningcoffee in their typical one-family-house in Saapunki. The lake Saapunki was hardly seen through their window. There was quite a fierce snowstorm and you could not see the lights in the windows further than 300 meters. 

Suddenly they saw a very bright light which was approaching from the lake. 

The light was about 10 meters in diameter. It was moving against the wind. Later the UFO researchers found out that the moving light had been seen by many people living on the lake. It created breaks of electricity in some houses. 

When the couple looked out after some seconds, they were terrified: the whole yard was bathed in a bright light. First they thought a fire had started in a yard building. Then they saw that it was a big lightball, so strong that it was difficult to look at the object. 

After some seconds the lightball rose up and disappeared. The couple went out and saw some signs in the place, above which the strange object had been hovering. There were some extra materials in the snow and additionally a very odd phenomenon: ice sticks upwards, small ice balls on top. Normally ice sticks can be seen on roofedges, where water has dropped and frozen. 

Our local UFO club was just that morning going to Pudasjärvi to establish a new UFO organization. After hearing about the new UFO case we decided, that half of our group would leave for Kuusamo. Later engineer Ahti Karivieri, the leader of Pudasjärvi-Kuusamo investigations, collected exact details and materials of the Saapunki case: interviews (written and taped), photos, drawings, material samples). 

The sample was sent to the Geological Research Institute (highest government institute). There was working Dr. Birger Wiik, who had become famous for the moonstone investigations. He was the only person in Finland chosen to research an American moonstone. When newspapers got to know about the Saapunki UFO case and the samples sent to Dr. Wiik, they interviewed him. Without knowing details and without researching the samples he estimated that the materials found in Saapunki were "dishwater"! 

Immediately after the interview Dr.Wiik met his friend, who knew more about UFOs. After the meeting Dr. Wiik tried to withdraw his statement, but it was too late. People in Saapunki were quite hurt, because according to them, throwing dishwater to the middle of the home yard wasn't good manners. 

Later Dr. Wiik`s assistant told that the material sample bottle (sent by eng. Karivieri) had been on the windowsill for two weeks. Then Dr. Wiik had given order to throw it out, without investigation. 

Fortunately some other samples were sent to other research labs, in Finland and in England. In the samples they found plantcell tissue plus calium, calsium, iron, cloridium and titanium. But there was no koli bacteria, that normal dishwater contains.
