Incident Report: Sighting of a Silver Sphere in Lunde, July 9, 1946

This memorandum, dated July 11, 1946, documents a report made to the local police by merchant Elis Näslund regarding an incident involving his wife, Kerstin Näslund. On July 9, 1946, at approximately 14:00, Kerstin Näslund was visiting a neighbor, Agnes Eriksson, in Lunde, Gudmundrå parish. While sitting at a table outside, Mrs. Näslund observed a silver-shining, sphere-shaped object moving rapidly from west to east. She described the object as being the size of a child's head, equipped with a thin, rope-like tail estimated to be between 10 and 50 meters in length. The object was initially observed at an altitude of 30 to 40 meters before it slowly descended. As it passed over the Näslund property, the object disintegrated, resulting in a silver-like shower of sparks. Mrs. Näslund reported that the object made no sound and the entire event lasted between 4 and 5 seconds. She attempted to alert her companions, Agnes Eriksson and her mother, Mrs. Carlström, but they did not see the object in time. Following reports in local newspapers of similar sightings, Mrs. Näslund searched her garden and recovered several coke-like stones, which she believed were remnants of the object.
