Insufficient Data

Summary

On August 19, 1956, a strange light was reported over Kuopio, Finland. The information came from a Helsinki newspaper article rather than a direct witness report. The light was seen for more than two hours.

The article said a ball of light approached Kuopio late on a Saturday night, around 2100 (9:00 p.m.). It looked like a similar light seen over the city during midsummer. The light was visible for more than two hours and finally disappeared into a cloud.

The Air Force marked the case as insufficient data for evaluation.
