Rymdprojektilrapport (Space Projectile Report)

This document is a handwritten report regarding a 'space projectile' sighting that occurred on August 24, 1902, at 19:02 in Saltsjö-Brevik. The primary witness is identified as Commander (Kommendörkapten) Rosenberg of the Naval District (Marindistriktet). The object was observed at an altitude of approximately 200 meters and at a distance of about 2 kilometers. No movement was observed. The description of the event includes a rapidly flaring flash followed by a small cloud of smoke, described as being like a projectile of some kind. The witness suggested it might have been a rocket, possibly from a crayfish party, though the report notes this is unlikely. At 20:35, inquiries in the area confirmed that no fireworks had been reported. The sighting was corroborated by other people in the vicinity who also reported a flash and a bang.
