A 1946 Swedish sighting report by a military-affiliated witness describing a luminous, rocket-like object traveling at low altitude over Lake Siljan.
On August 11, 1946, at 20:46, Sten Wallgren, a civilian serving with the Swedish Anti-Aircraft Corps (L.V.), observed a luminous, rocket-like object while in a boat off the eastern shore of Lake Siljan, approximately 2 kilometers from the village of Hjortnäs. The object traveled on a northerly horizontal course at an altitude of approximately 300 meters. It was described as having an intense yellow-green color. During its flight, the object shed luminous flakes at intervals. The witness estimated the length of the luminous path to be a couple of kilometers and compared the speed of the object to that of a B-17 bomber at cruising speed. The report was written the following day, August 12, 1946.
