Sighting Report of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon — Vedeby, Sweden, August 1946
AI-Generated Summary
A report from 1946 detailing a sighting of a silent, yellow, glowing aerial object by a witness in Sweden. The document was officially processed by the Swedish Defense Staff.
This document is a formal report submitted by Sigurd Sjöblom, a teacher, to the Commanding Admiral in Karlskrona, Sweden. The report details an aerial sighting experienced by his 24-year-old son, Rolf S:son Sjöblom, on the night of August 11, 1946. At approximately 23:50, while cycling from Karlskrona toward Vedeby, the younger Sjöblom observed a yellow, glowing object with a tail-like appearance. The object passed directly over his head, traveling in a straight line from south to north at an estimated altitude of 1,000 meters. The witness reported that the object made no sound and remained visible for approximately one minute, though he acknowledged this duration might be a misjudgment. The witness explicitly ruled out the possibility that the object was a meteor or a common firework. The document was subsequently forwarded to the Air Defense Department of the Defense Staff on August 14, 1946, and bears the reference number Und. Uil-2020.
Han ansåg det ej kunna vara någon meteor och ännu mindre någon vanlig fyrverkeripjes.
