Rapport över efterforskning av rymdprojektil vid Kihlangi

This report, dated August 22, 1946, from the Morjärv Defense District, details an investigation into a potential 'space projectile' sighting. On August 9, 1946, at 11:30, three Finnish citizens—Pauli Parini (a customs official and reserve lieutenant), a border guard named Jauk kuri, and a candidate named Elfing—were fishing in the Muonio River between Karnetkoski and Hapangikoski. While at a location 600 meters north-northwest of point 176.0, they heard a whining sound, described as similar to a shell, from a distance of 100 meters. They observed a water splash approximately two meters high about five meters from the Swedish shore, followed by a thud, though not an explosion. The report provides logistical details for reaching the site, including the use of local guides like Arvid Olsson. The author, Stabschef Sven Dimander, concludes that while an impact likely occurred, it was not caused by a large object. He suggests the phenomenon could be a small meteorite, a whirlwind, or a small projectile. He notes that the site is highly suitable for a search using an electric metal detector, as the river is shallow (7-10 decimeters), clear, and has a firm sand bottom.
