On Nov.13, just after 5 p.m., he and an eight-year old boy were driving out of Fort Simpson toward the Wild Rose Acres, subdivision when they both spotted what he first thought was the red light of a radio tower. "But we could see the radio tower lights and this one wasn't part of it," Norwegian said. The light hovered in one spot over the Mackenzie River and began to change color: red, then blue, then a bright white, flashing green and then red again. After about a minute and a half, the light sped away faster than any aircraft he had ever seen before - so fast, it left a trail of brilliant light behind it. "At first, I thought it might be a plane or helicopter, but then I knew it couldn't be because it went away so fast and because the colours of lights changed," Norwegian said.

There are only two things Norwegian can compare this sighting to: UFO television shows and another unexplained light he saw in 1968 while spending New Year's Eve at a cabin on Willow Lake. Back then, he saw a blueish-green ball of fire travel across the sky. He thought it was a burning airplane. "I got back to town a week or 10 days later and reported it to the RCMP because I thought it was a plane crash," Norwegian said. To this day, that first sighting remains just as mysterious as what he saw on Nov. 13 and what Fort Resolution residents have been seeing over the last week.
