ADDITIONAL WIT== TO PREVIOUS SIGHTINGS. IN SWEDEN -- Stockholm, Svenska
Dagbladet, 18 May 54
Lul/^aa -- A snowstorm an 17 May made it impossible for the Gaellivare
police to investigate the celestial objects which were recently seen in various
places in northern Norrbotten Province. The police do not think that the ob-
jects were meteorological balloons but do not have any theories to account for
the sightings. The latest eyewitness account was given by Valdemar Ylinentalo
from Kuusijaervi, who declared that he saw a silvery football-shaped object
coming from the Finnish side of the boundary; it had a fiery tail 70-80 meters
long and appeared to descend to earth about haitf a kilometer from where he was.
Jenny Karlsson, another eyewitness, stated that she saw a sphere-shaped ob-
ject attached to a meter-long rod pass her at a distance of 4-5 meters (sic]
and come to earth in the forest, a abort distance from her. No traces of this
object have been found. -
In the near future, an investigation will be made to determine whether
a flying object which landed in a field near Spjellerap about 6 months ago is
a meteor, a shell, or some part of a "flying saucer." The object made a bole
in the field about 3.5 meters deep and 25 centimeters in diameter and passed
through a thick stratum of flint. The o:ner of the lazzi ;us::e3 a l.czb iron
rod into the bole and deteridined that the object at the bottom-is metallic.
It is sai3 that at the time the object descended to earth, there were quite a
number of unidentified flying objects over the area. Excavation of the object
will be performed with assistance from the military.

VNIDZNTIFX) nYiso OBJECTS SEEN On M VEST GERMAN! -- Douala, L'Sveil du Cameroun,
17 Jun 54
Two unidentified flying objects were reported to have been seen recently
for about 10 seconds by a PTT (Poster, TTftegraphes, et Telephones, Poet, Tele-
graph, and Telephone Service) engineer and by another person between Frankfurt
and Darmstadt, near the Rhein-Main Air base. The objects were described as
gloving disks, which descepded Almort-vertically to a certtin (unspecified)
distance above the earth at high speed and them rose rapidly, describing a
parabola. US radar did not pick up the objects.
New York, N. Y. Staats-Zeitung and Herold, 20 Jtsn 54
Employees of various air lines at the Duesseldorf airport.reeensly ob-
served a shiny, round object which approached from the south at high speed,
then turned toward the vest, and disappeared above the 6,000-meter overcast.
An employee of the Condor aerial-advertising firm, who happened to be watch-
?^B a skywriter of his firm at the time, called the object a "flying saucer"
and stated that it could not possibly have been as airplanne,bnlloon, or aerial
measuring device. Several other airport employees confirmed his observation.
