This edition of the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, dated May 28, 1946, contains a variety of news reports. The most notable item regarding aerial phenomena is a report of a 'ghost rocket' sighting in Roslagen. A painter reported that on the previous Saturday evening, while driving from Uppsala toward Rasbo around 18:30, he and his companions observed a mysterious, silent, wingless object. The object was described as a drop-shaped ball of metallic material, flying at an altitude of approximately 100 meters. The witnesses followed the object by car for about half a mile over seven minutes before it disappeared beyond the horizon. The speed was estimated at less than 100 km/h. Other reports in the paper include the upcoming visit of American author Marc Connelly to Stockholm, the appointment of Asta Kihlbom to the Swedish Institute in London, a defense of a Norwegian pilot named Marius Eriksen, the establishment of a hunting school at Öster-Malma, the search for an escaped prisoner named Hilding Abelsson, and a memorial service for American airmen in Malmö.
Några hundra meter till höger om vägen och på en höjd av endast hundra meter susade en underlig tingest, som varken kunde vara meteor eller flygplan. När mast skulle man kunna beskriva den som en droppformad kula av någon blank metall. Några vingar syntes inte.
