This document is an official police report from the Karlskoga Police in Sweden, dated August 12, 1946.

Multiple witnesses, who were located at or near the town square (Torget) in Karlskoga, reported observing a greenish, glowing spherical object with a yellowish, glowing tail. The phenomenon was visible for only a few seconds and was observed over the Valåsen and Bofors shooting range areas. The witnesses reported that the object made no sound and emitted no smoke. Some observers estimated that the object appeared to descend, potentially landing in the vicinity of Sibbo, northeast of the Karlskoga city center. The report was processed by the Karlskoga Police and subsequently forwarded to the County Administrative Board (Länsstyrelsen) in Örebro and the commander of the Örebro defense district (Örebro fo), with a final reference to the Air Defense Department of the Defense Staff (Försvarsstabens luftförsvarsavdelning).
Ljusfenomenet, som bestått av ett grönaktigt lysande klot med en något mera gulaktig, lysande svans efter sig, hade varit synlig några få sekunder.
