Sighting Report — Västerås, Sweden, August 1946

This document is a formal sighting report issued from F 13 on August 14, 1946, detailing an aerial observation made on August 11, 1946. The witness, a Furir named Möller, observed an unidentified object between 1002 and 1004 hours. The object was described as cigar-shaped, approximately 15 meters in length and 1 meter in diameter, with a dark color. It lacked visible wings, rudders, or other protruding parts, and was noted to resemble the fuselage of a B 18 aircraft. The object maintained a constant altitude of 250 meters, following the topography of the terrain. The witness estimated the object's speed to be at least 600-700 km/h, which was significantly faster than the witness's own speed of 380 km/h. The object eventually disappeared in a southeasterly direction into a storm characterized by heavy rain and a cloud base of 100-300 meters. The report explicitly rules out the possibility of the object being a Vampire aircraft, as none were present in the area at the time. The author concludes that a propeller-driven Swedish fighter would be unable to intercept such a projectile. The report also notes that the witness had previously observed a light phenomenon associated with a projectile over Västerås on August 11 at 2048 hours.
