Declassified UFO / UAP Document
Incident Reports: Andersson and Forsberg, July 1946
AI-Generated Summary
The document details two 1946 Swedish sighting reports of a bird-like, non-flapping aerial object that emitted a rumbling sound. Witnesses observed the object traveling at high speed over Lake Trehörningen.
This document contains two accounts of unidentified aerial phenomena observed in the vicinity of Lake Trehörningen in Sweden during July 1946. The first account involves an individual named Andersson, who reported hearing a rumbling noise around 16:00. He observed an object flying from the east at a low altitude over the treetops. He described the object as resembling a large seabird with wings that did not flap, and noted that no exhaust was visible. The object moved in a westerly direction, changed course slightly to the south while over the lake, and eventually disappeared from view due to the forest and the sun. Andersson noted that he had never seen such a phenomenon before and provided a sketch of the object, referred to as 'bilaga 3'. The second account is provided by Johan Bernhard Forsberg, a master builder born in 1882. On July 5, 1946, at approximately 11:00, while mowing grass in Västervik, Umeå parish, Forsberg heard a 'rumbling' sound. He initially suspected a minor earthquake, but soon observed an object flying from the east at an altitude of approximately 100 meters. The object passed almost directly over him at high speed, heading west over Lake Trehörningen. His view was eventually obscured by a nearby house, but he speculated that the object may have landed on the hills west of the lake or in the lake itself. The document was recorded by F. Johansson on September 17, 1946.
Föremålet liknade mest en stor sjöfågel samt hade vingar, som sträckte sig ett stycke från och längs själva flygkroppen.
