Stigsjöpojke hittade splitter från raket

This document, dated July 17, 1946, consists of a newspaper clipping and an official military memorandum regarding the recovery of a metal fragment in Stigsjö, Sweden. The newspaper report describes an incident where a 16-year-old boy, Erik Ulander, and his friends observed a rocket-like object with a sparkling tail flying over Högmyrbacken. The object reportedly moved from the southeast to the northwest at a high altitude and speed. Following the sighting, Ulander discovered a small metal fragment, approximately the size of a five-öre coin, which was subsequently turned over to the newspaper 'VA' and then forwarded to military authorities for expert analysis. The accompanying military memorandum from the Air Defense Department of the Defense Staff (Försvarsstabens luftförsvarsavdelning) confirms the receipt of the metal fragment from a rocket projectile found in Stigsjö. The military authorities acknowledge the request for analysis and note that they will inform the press through the Defense Staff's information department once the expert evaluation is complete. The document also briefly mentions reports of similar 'ghost rocket' sightings in Rogaland, Norway, where four witnesses observed a projectile flying at high speed and altitude, explicitly stating that the object could not have been a meteor.
