AI-Generated Summary
A 1946 Swedish police report detailing two separate eyewitness accounts of a glowing, low-altitude aerial object observed on August 12, 1946. The report was forwarded to the Swedish Defense Staff for further investigation.
This police report from the Kinnekulle district, dated August 14, 1946, documents two separate sightings of an unidentified aerial phenomenon, referred to as 'ghost bombs' (spökbomber). The first incident occurred on August 12, 1946, at approximately 20:45. Mine foreman Einar Birger Jarsson, his wife Eva Aurora Elisabet, and forest ranger Artur Henning Rydeskog with his wife Ester Elfrida were traveling by car from Medelplana church toward Hällekis. Near Rustsäters farm, they observed an object flying at a low altitude in a southeast to northwest direction. The object was described as 60 to 70 centimeters long, glowing white like a welding flame, and emitting 'fire-drops' before disappearing from sight. A second sighting occurred on the same day at approximately 20:50. Station hand Ejnar Teoder Svensson and cement workers Karl Torsten Ringblom and Erik Konrad Tundqvist were at the small boat pier in Sjösäter. They observed a strongly glowing, sphere-like object moving through the air at an altitude of approximately 100 meters, traveling from south to north over the Vara forest and across Lake Vänern. The document notes that the report was to be forwarded to the Civil Defense Director and the Defense Staff (Försvarsstaben) in Mariestad.
