On August 11, 1946, at 20:47, Styckjunkare O. M. Pedersén, affiliated with the Lv 1 unit in Karlstad, observed an unidentified aerial object from his residence at Sörmon.

The object was traveling in a northwesterly direction and was observed at the height of the treetops. Pedersén described the object as emitting a strong yellow-white light and possessing a tail of fire. Due to the presence of the forest, the witness was only able to observe the object for a duration of 3 to 4 seconds, which prevented him from determining the exact length of the tail. The report includes a hand-drawn sketch of the object's shape and was formally submitted to the Duty Officer at I 2.
