Report on Light Phenomenon — Örebro, Sweden, July 29, 1946

This document is a formal report issued by the Örebro Defense District (Örebro försvarsområde) on July 30, 1946, addressed to the Air Defense Department of the Defense Staff. The report details a sighting of a light phenomenon reported via telephone on July 30, 1946, at 13:50, by a civil engineer named N. Bergenstråhle, who was employed by the Swedish Shale Oil Company (Svenska Skifferoljeaktiebolaget). According to the report, the sighting occurred on July 29, 1946, at approximately 20:50. The witness was located at the Örebro airfield (400 meters north of Backen). He observed two brightly shining fireballs, each approximately 5 decimeters in diameter, moving from east to west in a shallow, descending trajectory just above the rooftops in the city of Örebro, northeast of his observation point. The objects were visible for only a fraction of a second. The witness initially suspected the phenomenon was a reflection of neon light, but he decided to report the observation after learning that several other individuals had also witnessed the event. The document is signed by Arthur Forsberg, acting Chief of Staff.
