This document is a field report dated August 19, 1946, authored by Lieutenant Karl-Gösta Bartoll regarding search operations in Vasarajärvi, Gällivare, Sweden. The operation was initiated to locate a suspected rocket projectile.

The report concludes that no results were obtained from the search, and it was determined that no large metal objects were present on the bottom within the surveyed area. A bottom profile was created, and it was noted that the deepest points of the area were at the limit of the equipment's sensitivity.
