AI-Generated Summary
This document is a 1946 eyewitness report from Sweden describing the flight and disappearance of an unidentified aerial object, locally termed a 'space rocket'. It provides detailed observations of the object's speed, appearance, and behavior as it traversed the sky near Uppsala.
On August 11, 1946, at approximately 20:45, C. H. Hermodsson observed an unidentified aerial object, referred to as a 'rymdraket' (space rocket), while traveling by motorboat near Flottsund, Sweden. The object appeared over the tree line east of the Fyris River, traveling in a southeast-to-northwest direction. The witness estimated the object passed 2 to 3 kilometers north of their position at an altitude of approximately 1000 meters. The object was described as having a shape similar to the front of an airplane, trailing a long, brown-red smoke tail. As it passed, the tail appeared to divide into four or five distinct streamers. The object's speed was estimated to be between 200 and 500 meters per second. After a brief moment, the witness looked away and then back, at which point the object appeared as a sharp, greenish-white light before suddenly extinguishing. The witness explicitly stated that the object was not a meteor. A fourth individual present on the boat provided a supplementary account, describing the object as a rocket that appeared to explode, with parts falling away while a remaining bright point continued forward before also vanishing.
Jag gjorde just den reflektionen, att det var som en raket och säkerligen ej kunde vara en meteor.
