Sighting Report — Askersund, Sweden, October 1946

This document is a formal report issued by the Askersund District Rural Police Office (Askersunds distrikts landsfiskalskontor) on October 18, 1946. It details an observation of an unidentified aerial object witnessed by a woman identified as Fröken Jonsson and two other girls. According to the report, the object appeared white and shining in the sunlight, but as it moved away, it took on a darker hue. The witnesses noted that the object emitted no smoke and made no sound. It was observed at an elevation angle of approximately 35 degrees and was estimated to be at a relatively low altitude. The object's movement was described as 'gliding' along an even path at a speed significantly lower than that of a conventional airplane. The report highlights the reaction of the witnesses, specifically one of the girls who questioned how the object could move without propellers or wings. The document is signed by Georg Gustafsson.
