AI-Generated Summary
A 1946 report from a Swedish police station detailing an army sergeant's sighting of a high-speed, blue-white aerial object with a sparking tail. The witness explicitly ruled out conventional explanations like meteors or rockets.
On August 11, 1946, at 22:30, Erik Gustav Grann, a clerk residing in Stockholm, reported a sighting to the 8th Police Guard District Station. Grann stated that earlier that day, at approximately 20:45, while cycling along Drottningholmsvägen toward the city, he observed a bright blue-white light in the sky. The object was located approximately 300 meters south of the Ängbybanan viaduct. Grann described the object as appearing like a light streak with heavy sparking, resembling a tail. He estimated the object was at a very high altitude and moving in a northerly direction at a speed of at least 1000 meters per second. Grann, who identified himself as a sergeant in the Swedish Army, asserted that his military background allowed him to confidently rule out common rockets, shooting stars, or meteors. The report was forwarded to the Defence Staff's Air Defence Department for their information.
Grann framhöll, att han är sergeant i armén, och att han därför med säkerhet kunde fastslå, att det icke var fråga om någon vanlig rakét el. dyl. Stjärnskott eller meteor är uteslutet.
