On July 7, 2022, a photograph was taken in Bergen, Norway, capturing an unidentified flying object in the sky above the city.
The photograph shows a cigar-shaped, luminous object—reminiscent of classic UFO descriptions from the 1950s and 1960s. The image was submitted to MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) for investigation.
What makes this sighting particularly notable is its striking resemblance to the famous Holloman UFO photograph taken in New Mexico in 1957 by Ella Fortune.
Researchers have noted the remarkable similarity between this sighting and the 1957 Holloman UFO photograph. Both images show a similar object configuration:
- Both objects appear as cigar-shaped or elliptical luminous forms
- Both show a distinct disc-like or lenticular appearance
- Both were captured as single photographs rather than video
- Both occurred in relatively clear atmospheric conditions
The similarity has led to speculation about whether these could represent the same type of craft or phenomenon, separated by 65 years and thousands of miles.
This sighting bears a strong resemblance to the famous Holloman UFO photograph taken in 1957. The similarity suggests either a recurring phenomenon or a consistent craft design that has been observed over decades.
No official investigation or determination has been documented for this specific incident. The photograph was submitted to MUFON for their database.
The striking similarity to the 1957 Holloman sighting remains unexplained. Whether this represents a genuine recurring phenomenon, a similar but mundane object (such as a lenticular cloud), or coincidental pareidolia, remains undetermined.
