Report on observations of light phenomena in the area of Striberg in Nora parish, Örebro county, on 11/8 1946

This document is a report from the County Administrative Board of Örebro, Sweden, dated August 12, 1946, concerning observations of a light phenomenon made on August 11, 1946, in the vicinity of Striberg, Nora parish. The report compiles data from two witnesses. Observer 1 reported a yellow-blue sphere with a yellow-blue tail, approximately 2 meters in diameter, observed at an elevation of about 30 degrees. Observer 2 reported a white-yellow sphere with a cone-shaped tail of the same color, observed through a window. Both witnesses reported that no sound was heard, though Observer 1 noted strong winds might have obscured any noise. The report concludes that by comparing the observations, the trajectory of the 'rocket projectile' could be determined between V. Hagasjön and Åkerby. Observer 2 noted that shortly before the object disappeared behind the horizon, it emitted a light streak in an easterly direction, which was significantly smaller than the projectile itself and extinguished almost immediately, while the projectile maintained its course.
