Sighting Report: Sharp Light Observed in Värml. Säby, July 1946

This document consists of a press clipping from the 'Nya Kristinehamns-Posten' dated July 15, 1946, which was forwarded by the Regimental Adjutant of the Royal Bergslagen Artillery Regiment to the Air Defense Department of the Defense Staff on July 16, 1946. The clipping reports a sighting by a police officer, H. Johansson, in Värml. Säby on the previous Sunday evening at 19:00. Johansson described observing a large, sharp, clear yellow light in the sky moving in a horizontal, westward direction. The report highlights that this sighting was considered remarkable because, unlike previous phenomena observed in other locations that moved eastward, this object moved in the opposite direction. The object was visible for a couple of minutes and did not appear to travel at high speed. Its length was estimated to be approximately five times its width. Johansson emphasized that the phenomenon was witnessed by several people, dismissing the possibility of an optical illusion. The report concludes by noting that the public is waiting with anticipation for a resolution to these light-related problems.
