UFO-Norge

UFO-NORGE, founded in 1972, is a Norwegian national UFO research organisation.

During the summer of 1946, the Norwegian press started reporting sightings of " ghost rockets". Hundreds of people all over Scandinavia saw these phenomena, which have not yet been studied in detail by researchers. Press coverage of UFO sightings was high in 1947, and the first books about Flying Saucers appeared 1954.

The first UFO groups started to form during the early 1950s. Small groups existed in several of Norway's largest cities during the 1950s and 1960s. None of these were particularly interested in scientific aspects, most were convinced that the aliens were already here.

In 1972, these small groups formed a national organisation called Norsk UFO Center (NUFOC). In 1980 NUFOC changed its name to UFO-NORGE. During the 1970s and 1980s NUFOC/UFO-NORGE gradually became more sensible and less secteric. Today, UFO-NORGE represents a serious and common-sense approach to UFO phenomena.
