Witness Statements Regarding Aerial Phenomena in Örebro, August 1946

This document contains transcribed testimony from three individuals—Signe Edit Vilhelmina Sund, Karl Harry Gustavsson, and Birger Sven Erik Ronius—regarding an aerial sighting that occurred on the evening of August 11, 1946, in Örebro, Sweden. The testimonies were recorded on August 12, 1946. Karl Harry Gustavsson, a caretaker, reported observing an object at 20:48 while on the platform at the Örebro Södra station. He described the object as round with a tail approximately one meter long. He noted that the front of the object emitted a very strong light, which he compared to the glow of molten iron, while the tail emitted a yellow light resembling a flame. The object moved in a north-northwesterly direction at a very slow speed, sailing just above the roof of the station building before disappearing behind a six-story building on Rudbecksgatan 1. Gustavsson stated that he could not hear any sound from the object because a train was entering the station at the same time, and he explicitly dismissed the possibility that the object was a meteor. Signe Edit Vilhelmina Sund, who was interviewed alongside her daughter, provided a similar account, noting that the object appeared wider at the front and tapered toward the back. She described the light as intense, yellow in color, and transitioning to violet at the rear. She observed the object for only a few seconds before it disappeared behind the nurses' residences at Alnängarna. She noted that her windows were closed, which prevented her from hearing any potential sound. The document serves as a formal record of these eyewitness accounts.
