AI-Generated Summary
A police report from Örebro, Sweden, documenting a witness account of a fireball sighting on August 11, 1946. The report was part of a broader administrative effort to document light phenomena in the region.
This document is a supplementary police report (nr 1) issued by the Örebro Police on August 16, 1946, regarding observed light phenomena in the Örebro region. The report was initiated following a directive from the County Administrative Board (Länsstyrelsen) in Örebro, which instructed police chiefs to investigate and document any reports of light phenomena. The report details the testimony of a clerical assistant, Doris Margareta Elisabet Willén, who was interviewed on August 14, 1946. She reported that on the evening of August 11, 1946, shortly before 21:00, she was walking north on Storgatan in Örebro. While near the Lillåbron bridge, she observed a round fireball with a tail in the sky. The object moved from the south-southeast toward the north-northwest, passing over the street and very close to the rooftops. She noted that the object emitted no sound but shone with a particularly strong light, and she observed smaller fireballs or sparks within the tail. The sighting lasted only a few seconds. The report was forwarded to the commander of the Örebro defense area and subsequently to the Air Defense Department of the Defense Staff.
Föremålet hade passerat över gatan och nästan tätt över hustaken samt kommit från sydsydost och förflyttat sig mot nordnordväst. Intet ljud hade uppfattats.
