RAPPORT: en "rymdprojektil", som iakttagits över Possåsen i Södra Finnskoga socken

This document is an official report from the Finnskoga District Police (Finnskoga Landsfiskalsdistrikt) dated July 24, 1946, regarding a sighting of a 'space projectile' (rymdprojektil) reported by a local resident. The witness, Johan Sundén, a slotterarbetare (hay-making worker), reported that on July 17, 1946, at 17:30, he observed an object he described as a 'ghost flight' (spökflyg). The object was estimated to be at an altitude of approximately 2000 meters and was described as being about 25 centimeters in size, or roughly the size of a crow. The object appeared bright like a star on one side and dark on the other, and it moved in a spiral pattern. The witness noted that the object made no engine noise and traveled from the south to the north at a speed comparable to someone riding a bicycle. The object passed over Possåsen in Södra Finnskoga, near the Swedish border. Following the report, the acting district police officer, in the presence of police officer Bror Bengtsson, conducted an investigation to determine if the object held any military significance. The report was subsequently forwarded to the Fifth Military Command (Femte Militärbefälsstaben) in Karlstad for their information, in accordance with a telephone conversation held on the same day.
