Rapport från besök i Sala den 14/8 1946

This report, dated August 15, 1946, documents an investigation into a reported projectile impact near Sala, Sweden. On August 11, 1946, at approximately 21:00, a farmer named Petrus Olsson and his son observed a luminous object descending from the east. They reported that the object extinguished just above the ground and they believed it impacted approximately 100 meters from their location, accompanied by a hissing sound. On August 12, the son discovered two fused metal discs near the suspected impact site. The investigator, E. Malmberg, examined these items and described them as copper-plated brass sheets, 0.8 mm thick, with one flat disc measuring 52 mm in diameter and one bowl-shaped disc measuring 46 mm in diameter. The investigator noted that the discs appeared to have been exposed to the elements for an extended period and did not appear 'fresh.' Furthermore, no impact marks or other evidence of a crash were found in the area. Malmberg concluded that the objects likely had an origin unrelated to a projectile and that no impact had occurred, stating that no further investigation was required.
