Rapport från besök i Övre Norrland den 26/7 och 27/7 1946 vid platser för rapporterade ni-nedslag

This document is a secret field report regarding a visit to Upper Norrland on July 26 and 27, 1946, to investigate reported impact sites. The investigation involved contact with Colonel Dahlgren and Lieutenant Barthold of Ing 3, as well as the FO-staff in Kalix. Four specific locations were identified for investigation: Kölmjärv, Rödupp, Kanlunge, and Lägenön. The report focuses on the Kölmjärv site, where a witness, K. Lindbäck, reported hearing a sound resembling a motor hum on July 19, 1946, at 11:45. He observed a gray-brown or gray, cigar-shaped object, approximately 1.5 to 2 meters long, which likely had wings. The object reportedly flew over the treetops and descended into the lake at a 30-45 degree angle without exploding. The impact caused water to spray up to 2 meters high, with another witness, Beda Persson, observing water splashing into the forest over 200 meters from the impact site. The impact area is estimated to be within a 20x20 meter zone, where investigators found torn-up water lily roots and stones weighing up to 5 kg covered in lake bottom material. As of the time of the report, Ing 3 was conducting soundings of the lake, but had not yet achieved any positive results.
