00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:40,470
ufos over finland

3
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:43,520
by charles lear reports of ufo sightings

4
00:00:46,389 --> 00:00:45,760
and alien encounters come from all over

5
00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:46,399
the world

6
00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:48,879
from australia to zimbabwe place a

7
00:00:53,029 --> 00:00:50,399
finger at random on a globe

8
00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:53,039
and chances are some sort of ufo history

9
00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:55,120
from that area has been recorded

10
00:01:00,069 --> 00:00:57,520
this week the fingers landed on finland

11
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,079
and finland not only has a ufo history

12
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:02,640
but also has active ufo researchers as

13
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:03,280
well

14
00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:05,920
the history of ufo reports in finland is

15
00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:07,760
much like that of other countries

16
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:10,159
except that it starts earlier than most

17
00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:12,000
dating back to the early 20th

18
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:14,159
century as was the case for much of

19
00:01:17,749 --> 00:01:15,280
scandinavia

20
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:17,759
finland had reports in the 1930s and

21
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:18,880
1940s

22
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:21,680
of mystery lights aircraft and rockets

23
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:25,360
during the winter between 1933 and 1934

24
00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:27,439
many people in sweden reported seeing

25
00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:28,799
mysterious aircraft

26
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:30,799
some with bright lights unusual for the

27
00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:32,960
period that were able to fly in harsh

28
00:01:36,789 --> 00:01:34,720
weather conditions day or night

29
00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:36,799
the swedish air force sent out planes to

30
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:38,000
look for the aircraft

31
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:39,840
and ski patrols were sent to man

32
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:41,360
mountaintop searchlights

33
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:43,040
the finnish army sent up their own

34
00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:45,200
planes and the first report of a

35
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:47,119
shining bright light just like a

36
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:48,960
blowtorch came from kemi

37
00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:51,360
a town just east of the swedish border

38
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:53,360
the report received a good deal of press

39
00:01:56,469 --> 00:01:55,040
coverage and finnish authorities

40
00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:56,479
declared without proof

41
00:02:01,270 --> 00:01:58,240
that the light was something of russian

42
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:01,280
origin at a 1937 press conference

43
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:03,200
spokesman for the finnish military

44
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:05,360
declared that all sightings could be

45
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:06,000
explained

46
00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:08,239
by weather formations and inaccurate

47
00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:09,440
observations

48
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:12,480
in 1946 scandinavia experienced a wave

49
00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:13,200
of reports

50
00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:15,599
beginning in helsinki finland describing

51
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:16,239
rockets

52
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:18,560
that flew over witnesses sometimes

53
00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:19,440
changed course

54
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:21,440
and returned from where they came there

55
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:23,680
were reports of some rockets crashing in

56
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:24,319
the lakes

57
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:26,319
but none were recovered despite careful

58
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:27,840
searches by officials

59
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:29,200
the immediate thought was that the

60
00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:31,200
russians were testing captured german

61
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:32,800
technology after the war

62
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:35,200
but this has never been established the

63
00:02:38,949 --> 00:02:36,080
reports caused

64
00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:38,959
genuine worldwide military concern which

65
00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:40,720
is confirmed by documents from the

66
00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:41,680
period

67
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:44,400
the finnish ufo research association was

68
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:47,760
founded in tampere finland in 1973.

69
00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:49,200
according to its website the

70
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:51,519
organization has 200 members throughout

71
00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:52,160
finland

72
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:55,120
59 of whom work as researchers there are

73
00:02:58,710 --> 00:02:56,160
databases for

74
00:02:59,670 --> 00:02:58,720
observation contact and paranormal

75
00:03:01,670 --> 00:02:59,680
reports

76
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:01,680
the most recent observation report

77
00:03:04,070 --> 00:03:03,440
describes a sighting in the city of

78
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:04,080
vanta

79
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:07,360
on april 4th 2021 the witness reported

80
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:09,360
seeing a spherical object approach

81
00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:11,680
estimated to be the size of a car

82
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:13,360
according to the witness the object

83
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:15,280
changed direction and flew off

84
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:17,840
the video included with the report shows

85
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:18,800
what appear to be

86
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:21,440
visibility marker balls on an electrical

87
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:22,080
wire

88
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:23,760
while the report above seems to have a

89
00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:25,280
mundane explanation

90
00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:26,799
in the section under the heading

91
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:29,200
articles the fufor site has an article

92
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:29,920
headlined

93
00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:32,640
ufos in finnish airspace the article

94
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:34,560
discusses sightings by pilots

95
00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:36,400
serving in the finnish air force and

96
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:37,840
flying for thin air

97
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:39,920
according to the article authorities in

98
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:42,000
finland like those of many countries

99
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:44,560
are reluctant to discuss ufos and the

100
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:46,000
only incident to receive

101
00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:47,760
official acknowledgement by the air

102
00:03:53,429 --> 00:03:51,280
force occurred at pory airport in 1969

103
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:53,439
the incident at pory occurred on april

104
00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:55,120
12 1969

105
00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:57,120
during a jet training mission involving

106
00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:59,360
20 pilots who reported seeing what they

107
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:00,239
thought were seven

108
00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:02,239
yellow balloons floating two thousand

109
00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:03,840
meters over the airfield

110
00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:05,599
they were picked up on radar and a

111
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:07,439
flight controller told one of the pilots

112
00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:08,159
in training

113
00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:11,120
tarmo tukova to investigate tukova was

114
00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:13,439
vectored in and he reported that as he

115
00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:14,000
approached

116
00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:16,239
the objects accelerated to where he was

117
00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:17,600
unable to keep up

118
00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:19,199
the objects were picked up within

119
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:21,759
moments on radar at vasa airport

120
00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:24,880
approximately 190 kilometers away

121
00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:27,120
in spite of the official stance on ufo

122
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:29,360
reports finnish air force commander

123
00:04:35,230 --> 00:04:32,960

1975 until 1987.

128
00:04:45,909 --> 00:04:43,280
according to the fufor site maria

00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:45,919
translated pieces of ufo literature into

130
00:04:49,270 --> 00:04:46,720
finnish

131
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:49,280
the website world beyond the veil has a

132
00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:51,360
posting describing the puri incident

133
00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:53,360
which says that in spite of maria's

134
00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:54,720
interest in ufos

135
00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:57,199
he has refused to comment on sightings

136
00:05:00,310 --> 00:04:58,960
an alien encounter that received

137
00:05:01,990 --> 00:05:00,320
international attention

138
00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:02,000
was said to have taken place in the

139
00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:05,199
village of imjarve finland in 1970

140
00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:08,479
on a winter day around 4 45 pm two men

141
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:11,919
arno heinonen 36 and esco veljo

38 were cross-country skiing they

143
00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:16,400
stopped to rest and reportedly saw

144
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:17,759
through a break in the trees

145
00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:20,800
a yellow orange oblong object in the sky

146
00:05:24,469 --> 00:05:22,400
they heard a sound like the humming of

147
00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:24,479
bees and then saw a gray disc

148
00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:26,639
about two meters in diameter hovering

149
00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:28,960
three to four meters above the ground

150
00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:31,360
a ball approximately 15 centimeters in

151
00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:32,160
diameter

152
00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:34,479
descended as the object emitted gray red

153
00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:35,199
smoke

154
00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:37,120
the ball hit the ground and changed into

155
00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:39,520
a disc emitting beams of colored light

156
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:41,360
it then changed back into a ball and

157
00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:42,880
returned to the object

158
00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:45,280
then the men saw a thin creature 90

159
00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:46,400
centimeters tall

160
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:48,960
with a curved nose light green uniform

161
00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:50,960
white gloves and a pointed hat

162
00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:52,960
on its chest was a black box with a

163
00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:54,960
white button that emitted a pulsating

164
00:05:57,189 --> 00:05:55,520
light

165
00:05:59,270 --> 00:05:57,199
then the creature and the craft were

166
00:06:01,749 --> 00:05:59,280
shrouded in smoke and disappeared

167
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:01,759
the entire sighting lasted about 15

168
00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:02,639
seconds

169
00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:04,560
both men were left with severe muscle

170
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:06,560
pains and sought medical attention

171
00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:09,120
heinenen went on to become a contactee

172
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:10,800
claiming interaction with a female

173
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:11,520
humanoid

174
00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:13,680
and healing ability a sighting that is

175
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:15,840
less well known outside of finland was

176
00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:18,000
reported from the town of nevala

177
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:21,440
said to have occurred on august 15 1993

178
00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:23,520
it involved a strange sight seen by two

179
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:25,759
sisters through a window of their house

180
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:28,160
a clip on youtube tells the story

181
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:29,520
according to the narrator

182
00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:32,000
a 73 year old woman saw a large red

183
00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:32,560
globe

184
00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:34,479
hovering outside a back window of her

185
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:36,960
house it then turned into a triangular

186
00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:39,120
roofless room with two ladders hanging

187
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:39,840
down

188
00:06:45,909 --> 00:06:43,919
the ladders and began collecting

189
00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:45,919
samples from the ground their movement

190
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:47,039
was reported to be

191
00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:49,680
as if they were on hyper speed film when

192
00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:51,520
they were done the room turned back into

193
00:06:53,909 --> 00:06:52,080
a globe

194
00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:53,919
and then expanded until it was its

195
00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:55,440
originally seen size

196
00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:57,919
at which point it vanished the sisters

197
00:07:01,510 --> 00:06:59,440
then tell their story of what is

198
00:07:03,270 --> 00:07:01,520
presumably the same incident but the

199
00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:03,280
details of the triangular room and the

200
00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:05,039
humanoids are not included

201
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:07,199
one sister says that she felt something

202
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:08,800
grab her left shoulder as she was

203
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:09,440
sleeping

204
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:11,440
and she heard a voice as if from a

205
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:13,120
barrel say wake up

206
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:16,000
wake up she says the room was extremely

207
00:07:18,309 --> 00:07:16,479
bright

208
00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:18,319
and that she walked out of the room to a

209
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:20,160
window to look outside

210
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:22,560
she saw a bright ball hovering nine feet

211
00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:23,520
above the ground

212
00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:25,280
and she called for her sister to come

213
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:27,440
look and confirm what she was seeing

214
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:29,840
she says one foot closer and earth's

215
00:07:33,189 --> 00:07:31,360
gravity will pull it down

216
00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:33,199
and we will explode and we won't be

217
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,039
around anymore the next morning

218
00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:37,280
both sisters reported they became very

219
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:38,080
tired

220
00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:40,000
the other sister describes lifting her

221
00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:41,919
left hand to shield her face because her

222
00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:42,720
eyes hurt

223
00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:44,560
she describes a burn on her wrist that

224
00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:46,080
appeared two days later

225
00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:48,479
it got hotter and hotter and she went to

226
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,440
the hospital

227
00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:51,440
she says the doctor asked if something

228
00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:53,840
had bitten her and that she told him no

229
00:07:58,629 --> 00:07:56,639
and then asked if he believed in ufos

230
00:07:59,189 --> 00:07:58,639
she says he didn't say much and just

231
00:08:01,749 --> 00:07:59,199
listened

232
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:01,759
and then gave her antibiotics which she

233
00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:02,960
says helped

234
00:08:06,230 --> 00:08:05,440
meanwhile ufos continue to be reported

235
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:06,240
in finland

236
00:08:20,780 --> 00:08:08,800
and the finnish ufo research association
