Investigation Report: Sighting of 'Jättecigarr' over Stora Mellösa

This document is a collection of official correspondence and reports from the Landskansliet in Örebro, Sweden, dated June 21, 1946. It concerns an investigation into a newspaper report published in Aftonbladet regarding a 'giant cigar' seen over Stora Mellösa on the evening of May 21, 1946. The original newspaper report described an object resembling a rocket or a wingless aircraft, roughly the size of a school plane, which hovered silently at an altitude of 300 to 500 meters with a metallic, shimmering surface. The FO-staben (Swedish Defence Staff) had reportedly received no information regarding the event. Following an order to investigate, the local Fjärdingsman, Carl Bergh, conducted inquiries among approximately thirty people present at a parish meeting in Stora Mellösa, but none had observed the phenomenon. Furthermore, Nils Bergenstråhle, secretary of the Örebro Car & Flying Club, confirmed that no club aircraft were operating in the area on the date of the sighting. The investigation concluded with negative results, as no witnesses could be identified.
