A 1946 Swedish military report documenting a sighting of a glowing, magnesium-like aerial object over Sundsvall. The object moved north and left a smoke trail before disappearing.
On November 13, 1946, Captain R. Westlin of the Royal Sundsvall Anti-Aircraft Corps submitted a report to the Air Defense Department of the Defense Staff in Stockholm. The report details an observation made by Captain G. Leissner of the Lv 5 unit on the evening of November 12, 1946. At 21:56, while located on the outskirts of Sundsvall, Captain Leissner observed a white, glowing, spherical object that resembled magnesium, similar to a flare. The object moved in a northerly direction at a relatively low angular velocity at an undetermined, though likely high, altitude. The phenomenon was observed at an elevation angle ranging from approximately 90 degrees down to 40 degrees, at which point the light appeared to extinguish, leaving behind a visible smoke trail. The weather conditions at the time were reported as starry with clear moonlight and minimal cloud cover.
