Sighting Report of 'Bombregn' (Bomb Rain) — Saxvikens Sågverk, Mora, July 1946

On July 13, 1946, a manager at Aktiebolaget Statens Skogsindustrier in Mora, Sweden, submitted a report to the military staff (Militärstaberna) regarding an aerial sighting that occurred on July 9, 1946. At approximately 14:30, the author observed a weakly glowing object with a blue core, estimated to be the size of a hen's egg. The object, which was soundless, approached from the southeast at a low speed and descended into a timber pond at the Saxvikens sawmill at an angle of approximately 70 degrees to the horizon. The author, who was standing on a pier at the time, compared the object's appearance and speed to a rocket shell falling after a detonation. Weather conditions were reported as good, with only light cirrus clouds present. The author noted that other workers in the area also observed a light at the same time, though at a higher altitude. Despite ordering a search of the timber in the pond, no physical remains of the object were found. The author expressed his intention to forward any findings to the military staff should they be discovered later.
