On August 12, 1946, the Swedish Defense Staff's Air Defense Department (Försvarsstabens luftförsvarsavdelning) received a report regarding an aerial observation made the previous evening. The primary witness, former postal official E Sjöstrand, reported that on August 11, 1946, at approximately 20:55, he observed an object while located 200 meters north-northwest of the intersection at point 37,35, approximately 2.5 kilometers west of Hovsta. The witness described the object as a long, brightly glowing streak, reminiscent of a comet. The object was traveling on a south-to-north course at an estimated altitude of 100 meters. The witness noted that the object suddenly descended from its horizontal path and appeared to extinguish itself. The light was described as yellowish-white. The entire observation lasted no more than 10 seconds. The witness's wife, Anna-Lisa Sjöstrand, was also present as a witness. The report was processed and signed by Arthur Forsberg, acting Chief of Staff, on August 12, 1946.
En lång starkt lysande strimma, påminnande om en komet, som från sin horisontella bana plötsligt sänkte sig och liksom slocknade.
