Rapport: iakttagit ljusfenomen över Stene i Kumla socken

This document is a police report from the Kumla parish police district in Örebro County, Sweden, dated August 16, 1946. It details an investigation into a reported 'ghost rocket' sighting that occurred on the morning of August 15, 1946, which had been previously mentioned in the newspaper Örebro-Kuriren. The investigating officer, Folke Abenius, interviewed Kjell Malte Larsson, a laborer born in 1924, who resided at Solbacken, Långgälla 1:47 in Kumla parish. Larsson reported that at approximately 01:40 on August 15, while outside his home, he observed a spherical object moving at high speed from the southwest toward the northeast. The object, which was visible for only a few seconds, emitted a yellow-green light and maintained a constant altitude, which Larsson estimated to be approximately 1000 meters. The object's path originated from the direction of the Stene school, located about 500 meters southwest of Larsson's residence. Larsson reported that the object made no sound. The police investigation concluded that Larsson was the sole witness to the event and that no other individuals who had observed the phenomenon could be located. The report was submitted to the County Administrative Board in Örebro in accordance with a previous directive regarding such sightings.
