Rapport: Flygtorpeder över sjön Trehörningen

This report, dated August 26, 1946, from the Fjärdingsman (district police officer) of Tavelsjö, details multiple sightings of unidentified aerial objects near Lake Trehörningen in Sweden. The primary witness, brickyard owner Sigfrid Forsberg, reported that he and two workers, Tycko Andersson and Holger Sandström, observed an object in late May 1946 while working on a building project. The object was described as torpedo-shaped, grayish in color, approximately one meter in length and width, and flying at an altitude of 100-200 meters. It produced a sound similar to an aircraft engine with the motor turned off. The object traveled westward, changed course slightly to the south by tilting, and disappeared. Subsequent sightings were reported by building contractor J.B. Forsberg on July 5 and July 8, 1946. On the latter date, J.B. Forsberg and his daughter-in-law, Britt Forsberg, observed the object flying at a lower altitude (75-100 meters) and at a slower speed before it descended and struck the surface of the lake approximately 700-800 meters from the shore. The report characterizes these objects as likely being some form of 'air torpedo'.
