P. M. - Sighting Report of 11 August 1946

This memorandum, dated August 12, 1946, documents two reports of an aerial sighting that occurred on the evening of August 11, 1946, in the Kolsva region of Sweden. The first report was filed by Allan Persson, a laboratory worker, who observed a luminous space projectile moving over the forest on the border between Bro-Malma and Odensvi parishes at 20:45. Persson described the object as having a blue-green front, a dazzling white middle, and a red, sparkling rear, similar to a firework. He noted that it moved at a speed faster than a typical airplane in a northerly direction and made no sound before disappearing behind a mountain range. A second report was filed at 21:15 by Alvar Forsberg, a master painter, who, along with his wife and their tenant Sven Andersson and his wife, observed the same phenomenon at approximately 20:45. Forsberg corroborated the description provided by Persson and added that he observed small luminous pieces falling from the main body of the object, which extinguished as they descended toward the ground. The author of the memorandum, a Fjärdingsman, reported these observations to the acting assistant district prosecutor, A. Wajle, in Köping for informational purposes.
