Report on 'Ghost Bombs' (spökbomber) sightings in Skaraborgs Län, August 11, 1946

This document is a letter dated August 12, 1946, from the newspaper Mariestads-Tidningen to the Swedish Defense Staff (Försvarsstaben) in Stockholm. It provides a compilation of eyewitness reports regarding 'ghost bombs' (spökbomber) observed on the evening of Sunday, August 11, 1946. The reports describe various aerial phenomena, including yellow and white spheres, some of which appeared to be connected as if hanging from a rope. One report from Mariestad describes a large yellow sphere followed by smaller yellow spheres, ending in a blue light. Another report from Lyrestad, near a location called Räfsnäs, describes a bright white light at an altitude of 100-150 meters moving from the southeast to the north. A separate report from a resident of Mariestad describes a red light moving rapidly, which appeared as a sphere with a long tail that descended and extinguished. The document also notes that a report from Barrebacken is enclosed and mentions a sighting in Segersvik.
