Rapport angående ljusfenomen (Report regarding light phenomena)

This document is an official report from the Malmö Defense District (Malmö försvarsområde) to the Air Defense Department of the Defense Staff, dated August 6, 1946. It details a sighting reported by engineer Tore Gulich, who, while traveling by car between Landskrona and Malmö on August 5, 1946, observed an unidentified object. At 18:26, Gulich and his companion, engineer J. Pietiläinen, stopped 100 meters north of the railway crossing in Löddeköpinge. They observed a spindle-shaped object moving in a west-to-east direction. The witnesses noted that the object's size was comparable to a cigar viewed from a distance of one meter. Over the course of 30 seconds, the object emitted an intense light, which ceased when the object made a sharp turn toward the north-northeast. The entire observation lasted approximately 60 seconds. The witnesses were certain that the object possessed neither wings nor a rudder, and no sound was heard despite the witnesses exiting their vehicle. To confirm their assessment of the object's form, the witnesses later observed several aircraft near Malmö for 30 minutes under similar lighting and distance conditions, during which they were able to clearly distinguish both rudders and wings on the aircraft, reinforcing their initial observation that the object lacked these features.
