Report regarding light phenomena observed east and north of Lindesberg, Sunday 11 August 1946

This document is a report from the Lindesberg Home Guard area to the Defence Staff's Air Defence Department in Stockholm, detailing two sightings of an unidentified aerial phenomenon on the evening of August 11, 1946. The first sighting occurred at 20:05, reported by Home Guard member Erik Larsson, who was at Björsjö, 5.5 km east of Lindesberg. He observed a round object, described as being the size of a medium-sized football, emitting a strong bluish glow and leaving a trail of sparks that faded before hitting the ground. The object was moving in an easterly direction with a slight northerly drift at an altitude of approximately 200 meters. No sound was heard. A second sighting occurred at 20:26 by a hunting party located 1 km east of Busshyttan. They observed a similar object moving in an easterly direction with a south-to-northeast trajectory. This object also exhibited a bluish glow and emitted sparks behind it. It was estimated to be at an altitude of 75-100 meters, moving at high speed, and descending slightly. Again, no sound was detected. The report concludes with the observation that the two sightings likely represent the same phenomenon.
