On July 11, 1946, Nils Lencker wrote to the Air Defense Department of the Swedish Defense Staff to report a sighting of a rocket-like projectile. The incident occurred between 14:30 and 15:00, witnessed by two individuals who were situated on the slope of Slättberget, near the village of Kälen, south of the Ljungan river. According to the report, the object was first spotted in the Southeast to South-Southeast direction at an elevation of approximately 45 degrees above the horizon. The witnesses observed the object descend steeply before disappearing in the East to East-Southeast direction at an elevation of approximately 15 degrees above the horizon. The entire event lasted approximately three seconds. Lencker notes that the witnesses' descriptions generally matched accounts appearing in newspapers, though there were discrepancies: one observer described the object as having a flat shape, while the other believed they saw it explode before vanishing.
