A report from the Swedish military documenting a June 16, 1946, sighting of a high-altitude, wingless, shiny object leaving a smoke trail, observed by a railway engineer near Lake St. Hällungen.
This document is a report issued by the Västra flygbasområdet (Western Air Base Area) on June 17, 1946, addressed to the Air Defense Department of the Swedish Defense Staff. It details a sighting reported by an engineer named Berglund, employed by the Swedish State Railways (Statens järnvägar). On June 16, 1946, at 16:45, while walking in the woods near Lake St. Hällungen in Bohuslän (near Svenshögen and Ödsmål), Berglund heard an unusual sound from the air, described as resembling a two-stroke engine. Upon looking up, he observed a shiny object at a high altitude. The object lacked wings and moved very rapidly in a direction from south-southeast to north-northwest (SSO-NNV), leaving behind a long trail of smoke. The sky was cloudless at the time, and the entire event lasted no more than 30 seconds. The report was signed by S.H. Liljhagen, Chief of Staff.
