SIGHTINGS OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS

10 JUNE-15 JULY 1954

UNIDENTIFIED OBJECTS PHOTOGRAPHED IN FINLAND DURING AND AFTER ECLIPSE -- Helsinki, Helsingin Sanomat, 11 Jul 54

Several photographs of an unidentified object in the sky were taken in Helsinki during the eclipse on 30 June 1954. According to informed circles, a round object which appears on the photographs is not the moon or a cloud. One photograph differs from the others in that the upper edge of the object is illuminated as if the sun were shining on a hard surface. The center of the object appears as a dark blotch. [The photograph described is shown in source.]

Helsinki, Helsingin Sanomat, 12 Jul 54

A strange object was photographed in the sky in Maarianhamina immediately after the sun was in full view, following the eclipse on 30 June 1954. The cigar-shaped object appeared on several pictures taken consecutively. [A photograph of the object is shown in source.]

- REPORT LATER SIGHTING IN FINLAND -- Helsinki, Helsingin Sanomat, 15 Jul 54

On 14 July 1954, an unidentified, oblong object was sighted at Pulkkila, flying [southwest] in the direction of Haapavesi-Nivala. The object, which was flying very high, appeared grey from the rear and very bright from the side. The object was in view for several minutes and was flying with the speed of an ordinary plane.
