WINTERTON Assistant Air Attache AIR INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION REPORT HEADQUARTERS, USAF INTELLIGENCE DIVISION DATE: 6 APRIL 1954 SUBJECT: UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT REPORT PLACE: HALLINGDAL, NORWAY DATE: 27 MARCH 1952 The text of the document describes the details of the UFO sighting, including the witness's account, the object's observed characteristics, and the conclusion reached by the Air Force regarding the incident. As an OCR system, I will proceed to extract all the text from the document: AIR INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION REPORT UNCLASSIFIED At approximately 2200 hours on 6 April 1952, a pastor living in Hallingdal, Norway, observed a strange aerial object which appeared to be about 20 meters in diameter, passing over his house at an altitude of about 500 meters. The object was observed for a period of about 5 minutes by several people. The object appeared to have a reddish-orange glow and emitted sparks or particles of some sort at irregular intervals. It is obvious that the object observed was not within the range of the normal activities of the Air Force, and the report has been forwarded to higher headquarters for further investigation.
