Sighting Report — Frösjön, Sweden, July 11, 1946
AI-Generated Summary
A 1946 report by a Swedish Army Lieutenant detailing the sighting of a yellow, tail-bearing aerial object over Frösjön. The witness notes the lack of sound and the object's distinct flight path, suggesting it was not a simple firework.
On July 11, 1946, at 14:30, Lieutenant B. Johansson of the Swedish Army submitted a report to the Military Staff in Stockholm regarding an aerial sighting. Following a request for information broadcast via radio and newspapers, Johansson reported observing a yellow object with a tail at a distance of approximately 200 meters over Frösjön. The object moved horizontally in an oblique direction before disappearing in a rising arc, approximately 40 meters above the water surface. The witness noted that there was no sound associated with the object, such as wind or an explosion. While Johansson initially considered the possibility that the object was related to children playing with fireworks, he noted that he had since learned of similar observations elsewhere, leading him to believe the phenomenon required a different explanation.
Den rörde sig horisontellt i öllig riktning och försvann (upplöstes) i en utåtgående båge omkr 40 m. över vattenytan.
