Rapport fr. St Klarby - Incident Report 10 July 1946

This report, dated July 13, 1946, details an investigation conducted by K.A. Klarby of the Hemsö Coastal Artillery Defense into a reported sighting of a rocket-like object. On the evening of July 10, 1946, at 21:30, the author was notified by 'red VA' regarding a potential crash near Geresta Herrgård. The report was based on eyewitness accounts from patients at the Vanföreanstalten facility. According to the witnesses, they observed a luminous object moving toward Fälleberget in a northeasterly direction. They described the object as suddenly flaring up, with descending lights falling toward the ground, resembling a rocket in its final stage. No sound was reported. Following orders from Captain Åsard, the author investigated the site where the object was calculated to have landed, which was identified as a field sown with oats and barley. The investigation uncovered only scattered remains resembling burnt lime. The author could not determine if these remains were related to the reported event, and no other marks or signs of burning on the surrounding grass were found. Consequently, the author reported to the detachment commander that no tangible evidence of a crash could be found. On July 11, the author was contacted again by 'red VA' for the results, and he confirmed that while he had visited the site, there was nothing further to report, noting only that the ground was partially quite stony.
