Sighting Report of Fireball — Roslagsbro, Sweden, 1946

On October 7, 1946, Ulf Blomquist observed a fire-yellow fireball approximately 10 meters above the ground in Roslagsbro, Sweden. The object was traveling in a northerly direction for about 130 meters. The witness noted that the object tilted at a 40-degree angle toward the ground. At a height of approximately 3 meters, the object exploded with a loud bang and a shower of sparks. Blomquist observed that a portion of the object appeared to continue moving for a short distance before being obscured by the terrain. At the time of the sighting, the witness was located near a barn, approximately 250 meters away, observing the event through a row of birch trees. Upon witnessing the event, Blomquist immediately rushed toward the location with a person named Petterson, using a flashlight to search the area. Subsequent searches conducted in daylight for any physical evidence or signs of an impact were unsuccessful. The witness describes the site as a re-seeded field with clover approximately 10 centimeters high, surrounded by bushy and stony terrain.
