Svahn said about 70 people took advantage of the opened archives.

"There was a great interest," he said.

The UFO group held a series of lectures Saturday in the opening of the archive.

"One hundred seventy-five came to listen and there was a great interest. There were more than we have seen in recent years and there was a serious interest. We are very happy," he said.

Among the cases available for public viewing Sunday was a report of a Swedish pilot who spotted an unidentified object floating in the water during a training exercise in the 1970s. The report says the object flew straight up into the air and the pilot was unable to catch up. The object was never identified.
