This document is a handwritten report dated August 12, 1946, from Lindesberg, Sweden, detailing two observations of an unidentified aerial phenomenon.

A second observation occurred at 20:50, also at the Növerkärret station, by an observer named Ivar Akesten. This witness described the object moving in a northerly direction, noting that it appeared to describe an arc toward the ground, similar to a trajectory, before disappearing behind the forest north of the marsh, one kilometer north of the Növerkärret station.
