This document is a formal police report from the Degerfors district, dated August 22, 1946, concerning a sighting of an unidentified aerial object. The report was filed by Bror Wassberg and addressed to the County Administrative Board in Örebro. The witness, an engineer named Olof Birger Gezélius, reported that at approximately 01:05 on August 22, 1946, he observed an object from the balcony of his residence at Riksbygge nr 5 in Degerfors. Gezélius described the object as torpedo-shaped with a metallic, shiny surface and a rotating reddish-yellow disc at the front. The object was estimated to be flying at an altitude of 50 to 60 meters above the ground. It traveled from the southwest and disappeared in a straight northeasterly direction. The witness noted that the object emitted a faint buzzing sound and moved at a speed comparable to a slow-moving aircraft. The observation lasted only a few seconds. The report was subsequently forwarded to the commander of the Örebro defense area on August 24, 1946, in accordance with previous directives regarding reports of light phenomena.
