Rapport ang ljusfenomen (Report regarding light phenomenon)

This document is a formal report issued by the Chief of the West Coast Naval District (Västkustens Marindistrikt) on October 4, 1946, addressed to the Air Defense Department of the Defense Staff. The report concerns a light phenomenon observed on the evening of October 3, 1946, at 22:12. The information was provided by a station clerk named Högblom, who was located approximately 1 kilometer southeast of the Olskroken station in Gothenburg. According to the witness, a 'rocket' was observed traveling parallel to the ground at an altitude of approximately 200 meters on a straight westerly course. The object was described as a luminous entity from which sparks could be observed. The witness reported that no sound was heard, the object moved at a 'tremendous speed,' and the entire observation lasted for approximately 5 seconds. The report also references a previous communication from the Defense Staff (Fst skrivelse nr 7:49 dated June 12) regarding similar light phenomena. The document includes a newspaper clipping as an enclosure, which notes that the phenomenon was also observed from the Fiskhamnen area, where it was described as coming from the northeast (Hisingslandet) and continuing in a southwesterly direction, with multiple credible witnesses reporting the event.
