Report on Sighting of a 'Space Rocket' in Ljusnarsberg District, August 1946

This document is a formal report dated August 16, 1946, from the Ljusnarsberg District Landsfiskal office to the County Administrative Board of Örebro. It responds to a circular letter issued on July 8, 1946, regarding observations of light phenomena. The author, Knut Hofberg, reports that a 'space rocket' was observed in the district on the evening of August 11, 1946, shortly before 21:00. The report details three separate accounts. The first observation was made by crayfish fishermen near Nittälven, west of Spjuttjärn. They described a ball-shaped object emitting strong light, flying at an altitude of approximately 50-100 meters. The observation lasted only a few seconds, and no sound was heard. The object appeared to move in a straight line toward Ställdalen. Additionally, the report notes that Acting Fjärdingsman Sven-Eric Larsson of Ställdalen submitted a written account of his observations at 20:46. Finally, the report includes a statement from Martin Andersson and Karl Engström of Mossgruvan, who observed the object around 20:50. By synthesizing these accounts, the author concludes that the object's trajectory followed a path from Spjuttjärn to Ställdalen and then to Mossgruvan, all within the Ljusnarsberg parish.
