Report on Sighting by Bank Clerk Falk — Sundsvall, 18 July 1946
AI-Generated Summary
A 1946 Swedish military report documenting a sighting of an unidentified aluminum, tube-shaped object over Sundsvall. The witness, a bank clerk, observed the object moving west, but could not provide estimates for speed, altitude, or distance.
On July 19, 1946, Captain R. Westlin of the Royal Sundsvall Anti-Aircraft Corps (Kungl. Sundsvalls Luftvärnskår) submitted a report to the Chief of the Defense Staff's Air Defense Department regarding an aerial sighting. The report details an observation made on July 18, 1946, at approximately 11:30 AM by a bank clerk named Falk. While at the Riksbank in Sundsvall, Falk observed an aluminum-shining, tube-like object moving in a westerly direction over Norra Stadsberget. Because the witness was inside the building looking through a window, he was unable to hear any sound associated with the object. Furthermore, the report notes that it was impossible to estimate the altitude or distance of the object, and its speed could not be determined.
