Report regarding the sighting of light phenomena over Hårsfjärden
AI-Generated Summary
A 1946 report from the Swedish naval vessel H.M. Pansarskepp Sverige details a sighting of a yellowish, spiraling light phenomenon observed by multiple crew members. The object moved over the ship at an estimated altitude of 500-700 meters before disappearing into clouds.
On September 9, 1946, between 19:26 and 19:28, several crew members aboard the Swedish naval vessel H.M. Pansarskepp Sverige, which was moored at a buoy at route 350110, observed an unidentified light phenomenon. The object was first spotted at a bearing of B S and traveled over the southern tip of Märsgarn (route 351008) on a northerly course toward Berga Slott (route 251001). The elevation angle was recorded as 10 degrees at the start and 75 degrees as it passed the ship, with an estimated altitude between 500 and 700 meters. The witnesses described the object's movement as initially spiral-like with rolls, maintaining a relatively constant speed before its path became more regular and its speed decreased. The light was described as faintly yellowish. No sound was heard, and the observers noted that no other observations were made that would suggest the object was an aircraft. The sighting ended when the object was obscured by cloud cover. The report was filed by Fänrik G. Lerjestam on September 10, 1946, and lists several witnesses, including Corporal Sjöberg, Helmsman Gunnarsson, Marine Engineer Sahle, Fänrik Jacobsson, Constable Holmqvist, and Helmsman S.O.V. Svensson.
Ingat ljud hördes och inga andra iakttagelser gjordas, som kunna tyda på att det eventuellt var en flygmaskin.
