Sighting Report: Brita Maria Forsberg, 8 July 1946

This document is a report dated September 17, 1946, by F. Johansson, detailing a sighting by Brita Maria Forsberg on July 8, 1946. At approximately 16:30, while at her father-in-law's property in Västervik, Umeå socken, Sweden, Mrs. Forsberg heard a whining sound. She observed an object flying from the east at an altitude of about 100 meters. The object was described as torpedo-shaped, approximately 80 centimeters long and 12 centimeters wide, with a wingspan of about half a meter. It was brownish in color, featuring an aluminium-grey band around the fuselage just in front of the wings. Mrs. Forsberg noted that the object produced no exhaust. While attempting to track the object, she was momentarily blinded by the sun but relocated it as it flew over Lake Trehörningen. She observed the object descend and crash into the middle of the lake, creating a small water splash. The witness emphasized that the object's speed far exceeded that of an airplane and maintained that she was certain of her observations. The report references a sketch (bilaga 4) created by the witness.
