Bil. till Mil.att. i H-fors medd nr 68/3:43/1946

This document is a military attachment containing a compilation of press reports from the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, dated June 11, 1946. It details a series of aerial light phenomena observed across various locations in Finland on the evening of Sunday, June 9, 1946. In Helsinki, at 22:17, a rocket-like object was observed flying from the northeast to the southwest at an altitude of 300-400 meters, leaving a smoke trail that persisted for several minutes in the calm evening air. Experts noted that the object was not a meteor. Similar sightings were reported in Tampere, Teisko, Salo, Fredrikshamn, and Alsvik. Descriptions varied, with some witnesses reporting explosive sounds, sudden changes in direction, and multiple explosions leaving smoke trails similar to aircraft exhaust. One witness, interviewed by the newspaper, described seeing a flash of light from indoors, followed by a long, uneven, wavy light streak that remained visible for at least 10 minutes before transforming into a cloud-like formation. The document serves as a record of these widespread, unexplained aerial observations.
