AI-Generated Summary

TL;DR

An amateur astronomer in Sundsvall, Sweden, reports a drop-shaped, yellow-green aerial phenomenon observed for a few seconds. The witness concludes the object was a natural meteor rather than a 'ghost rocket'.

This document is a handwritten report by an amateur astronomer describing an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed in Sundsvall, Sweden, between 20:45 and 20:50 on the evening prior to the writing of the note. The witness describes the object as a drop-shaped, yellow-green light with blue-white surroundings and a pulsating yellow tail. The object flickered with small sparks before extinguishing after a few seconds. The witness estimates the altitude to be between 10,000 and 15,000 meters. While the witness acknowledges the appearance of the object, they explicitly state that it was not a 'ghost rocket' (spökraket), but rather a natural phenomenon, likely a meteor rich in phosphorus that ignited due to atmospheric friction. The witness notes that they have been an amateur astronomer for some time and have observed two other 'mystical sky phenomena' since 1928, including a 'ghost aircraft' in Norrland ten years prior. The author expresses that this specific sighting was the most powerful and unusual they had ever witnessed.

Jag tycker själv att det ser riktig fyrverkiraket ut, som man bruka avfyra raket vid majfesten, men raket betraktes icke som "spökraket" utan snarast himlafenomenen eller meteor
