Sighting Report - Strömtorp, Sweden

This document details a sighting reported by an individual named Johansson. While cycling on the public road from the Strömtorp railway station toward Storegården in Degerfors, at approximately 20:10, Johansson observed a light near the property of Tallhaga. The light, estimated to be 2 by 3 meters in size and yellowish in color, remained constant for about 10 seconds before disappearing. After approximately 5 seconds, a similar light appeared in the same location for another 5 seconds before vanishing again. Johansson left his bicycle and ran toward the site. When he was 30 to 40 meters away, he experienced what he described as a silent explosion. A glowing mass was suddenly scattered across the courtyard, covering an area of approximately 15 by 20 meters, after which the area became dark. Johansson then entered the property and informed the resident, Arvid Pettersson, of his observations. The family members reported seeing nothing unusual. Upon inspecting the courtyard with Pettersson, a faint smell of gas was noted, though the nature of the gas could not be identified. Johansson explicitly stated that he heard no sound during the entire event and did not see any other people.
