Altafjord, Norway: Silent unmarked delta-wing craft plunges into fjord, navy search fails
At 11:15 a.m. on June 1, 1958, four witnesses watched a silent 'unknown aircraft' resembling a twin-engine delta-wing jet without markings plunge into the Altafjord, Norway; a navy frigate, a submarine and divers searched for more than a week without result.
Background
At 11:15 a.m. on June 1, 1958, Bjørn Taraldsen, Nils M. Turi, Kate Julsen and Rasmus Hykkerud watched a silent 'unknown aircraft' plunge into the Altafjord in Troms og Finnmark, Norway. It resembled a twin-engine, delta-wing jet with no identifying marks. A column of water rose, and dead fish floated to the surface. The frigate KNM Arendal and the submarine KNM Sarpen, together with divers, searched for more than a week without result, although the Arendal obtained a sonar reading of a mobile object. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
