Incident Report: Aerial Sightings in Eskilstuna, August 1946

This document, originating from the Eskilstuna police, details two separate reports of unidentified aerial phenomena observed in the vicinity of Eskilstuna, Sweden. The first report describes an object observed by a group led by an individual named Sonesson. They described the object as an elongated body, tapering at the ends, emitting a powerful white light. This primary object was reportedly followed by a dark band containing two black spheres. The object was seen moving from east to west at an estimated altitude of 300 to 400 meters, with no associated sound. The second report was provided by a farmer, Axel Edling, who contacted the police station by telephone. Edling reported that on Sunday, August 11, 1946, at approximately 20:49, while he was in a boat on the Eskilstuna River near Ekebykroken, he observed a brightly glowing 'fireball' in the sky. He noted that this object was followed by one or two smaller dark spheres. The objects moved at a relatively low speed in an arc from a height of 100 to 150 meters down toward the ground, traveling from the southeast toward the northwest. Edling also reported that he heard no sound and could not estimate the distance to the objects. The document is signed by Sven Blohm and Åke Sundström.
