TL;DR

A 1946 Swedish police report documents damage to a power line caused by an unidentified object. The case was referred to the Swedish Defense Staff and the National Defense Research Institute for further investigation.

This report, dated September 26, 1946, from the District Prosecutor (Landsfiskalen) in Arboga, details an investigation into damage sustained by an electrical power line on September 14, 1946. The incident occurred at Rybacken in Kung Karls parish. According to the report, district police officer Eric Lagerstedt was informed by chief technician Harald Eriksson that a break had occurred in the power line running between the state's tertiary station at Södra kungsladugården and Magnäs. The damage was suspected to have been caused by a 'foreign object' striking the line. Witness John Larsson, a farmer from Ulvhäll, reported via telephone at approximately 16:10 on the day of the incident that there was a fire or 'burning' in the line at 'Söders gärde' and that it 'lit up in a row.' Following these reports, the local authorities conducted an investigation and subsequently forwarded the findings to the Air Defense Department of the Defense Staff and the National Defense Research Institute for further consideration.
