Three people ran into the police station in Mosjøen, central Norway, late Sunday night [Sept 23] to report seeing an unidentified flying object streak low over the city. Police say all three are credible, and they're classifying the incident as a UFO sighting.

"We're talking about three sober, credible people who we have no reason to doubt," said Roar Tøgersen of the Helgeland police district.

Tøgersen said the three witnesses were sitting in a car when they saw an unusual object flying low through the nighttime skies. They said it resembled some sort of helicopter, and that it was flying from the south in a northerly direction.

"We don't know what it was, therefore we're calling it a UFO," Tøgersen said.

He said the object appeared to rotate around its own axis. The three got out of the car to get a better look, but quickly dove for cover because they were afraid the object was about to crash.

They said there was no sound at all from the object, and that they felt threatened by it.

Tøgersen confirmed that police in both Mosjøen and Bodø took the report seriously and sent out patrols to search for any wreckage. Nothing was found after several hours of searching.

Police said there were no reports of missing helicopters in the area.
