I read Norwegian and have been checking the articles I can find online. There isn't really much more info than what you've got above - some UFO (in the true meaning of the abbreviation) was spotted at 8k feet, but they were unable to identify exactly what it was. It appears they are have drawn the conclusion it must be a soaring craft of some sort since it "stayed up there longer than a small aircraft should have enough fuel for". There doesn't appear to be any photos of it. I saw no reports of anybody spotting it from the ground, nor is there anything mentioning how many times it was sighted and at what intervals. To me it reads like an airline crew spotted something they could not identify, reported it to air traffic control who took suitable precautions, and the media filled in the rest.
