Rapport: iakttaget ljusfenomen vid Usta i Stora Mellösa socken

This police report from the Stora Mellösa Police District, dated July 17, 1946, documents a sighting of an aerial phenomenon reported by Inga Eriksson. On July 15, 1946, the police were alerted to the sighting via a notice in the newspaper Nerikes-Allehanda. Upon investigation, it was determined that on the evening of July 12, 1946, at approximately 22:00, Mrs. Eriksson was in the garden of her residence at Malingsbo, Usta nr 1. She reported hearing a sharp hissing sound in the air, which prompted her to look upward. She observed three silver-shining, triangular objects moving horizontally from east to west. The observation lasted approximately two seconds. Mrs. Eriksson noted that the objects did not move in a zigzag pattern and did not produce any explosions or other noises, though she compared the sound to that of a jet plane she had previously observed in Örebro. No smoke trails were observed, and she could not estimate the distance to the objects. The phenomenon was observed in a northeasterly direction, along a line over Väla, Ånkersta, and Täby.
