Löjtnant G. Irholm rapport om flygande projektil

On August 14, 1946, between 10:02 and 10:04, Lieutenant G. Irholm, while piloting a B 18 A aircraft at an altitude of 100 meters, observed an unidentified flying object. The sighting occurred along the route between Malingsbo and Krylbo. The object was described as airplane-like and was flying at an altitude of approximately 250 meters, moving on a 60-degree southerly course. The witness noted that the object was slightly above the horizon. Irholm, accompanied by his observer, Furir Möller, became suspicious due to recent press reports regarding unidentified projectiles over Swedish territory. Unable to identify the object as a Swedish aircraft, Irholm attempted to intercept it. However, after approximately 10 seconds, during which the pilot had to look down at his instruments to adjust for maximum cruising power, the object vanished. Irholm suspected it had disappeared below the horizon and descended to maintain a constant altitude over the terrain. Approximately 20 seconds later, the observer, Möller, spotted the object again at a 30-degree angle.
