This report, dated July 29, 1946, details a military search operation conducted in Kamlungeträsket, Sweden, following reports of a potential projectile impact. The search, led by Lieutenant Lennart Kestner with a diver from Luleå harbor, took place on July 25 and 26, 1946. The team surveyed an area of approximately 200 by 300 meters. The diver reported that the lake bottom consisted of relatively hard clay, was smooth and even, and that visibility was good at a maximum depth of 15 meters. No foreign objects were discovered during the operation. The investigation included interviews with local witnesses. Astrid Lindbäck reported hearing a whistling sound and seeing a water cascade 3-4 meters high. Anna Rönnbäck, who was in a boat on the lake with three others, reported seeing a water column rise. Helga Vester, from the Kamlunge telephone station, reported hearing a loud whistling sound and observing a whirlwind that kicked up a pillar of sand on the road. The local ferryman at Kamlunge provided context, stating that during warm weather, it was not unusual to see whirlwinds (tromber) of the type described, noting that he had personally observed three such occurrences in 1945. The search was officially terminated on July 26, 1946, by order of the Chief of Fo 67.
