PM angående iakttagelser av "spökprojektil" i trakten av Svenstavik stn

This memorandum, classified as secret (HEMLIG), details a sighting of a 'ghost projectile' (spökprojektil) near the Svenstavik station on August 13, 1946, between 11:00 and 11:30. The report documents observations from three distinct locations, identified as 1, 2, and 3 on an attached sketch. The object was described as approximately 60 centimeters long, equipped with short wings positioned slightly forward of the center. It produced a loud whistling and howling sound. The first witness, Åström, observed the object flying at a high speed at an altitude of roughly 100 meters on a straight northward course with a 30-degree dive angle. He believed it would land in the lake, but his view was blocked by a curtain of birch trees. A second witness, Andersson, located 25 meters to the north, observed the object in cross-section and noted it losing speed and 'wobbling with its wings' before disappearing behind the trees. A third witness, Edström, also heard the loud noise and observed the object's course before it was obscured by the same birch curtain. The document concludes with a description of the lake's geography, noting that the water is shallow, murky, and that the bottom is composed of hard-packed sand and stone, making it difficult to observe the lake floor at depths greater than 3 to 4 decimeters.
