AI-Generated Summary
A school teacher reported observing a 'burning arrow' shaped object moving at high speed over Bollnäs, Sweden, on November 27, 1946. The witness explicitly rejected the possibility that the object was a meteor.
On November 28, 1946, Lavin Hedenmalm, a school teacher, submitted a report to the Swedish Defence Staff (Försvarsstaben) regarding an aerial sighting he experienced the previous evening. On November 27, 1946, at approximately 18:56, while cycling south on the road between Arbrå and Bollnäs, Hedenmalm observed a light phenomenon near the junction leading to Renbron in Bollnäs. He described the phenomenon as a moving object that most closely resembled a 'burning arrow.' The object traveled in an easterly direction at a uniform, horizontal speed, which he estimated to be comparable to that of a fast aircraft. The duration of the observation was no longer than half a minute, and he estimated the altitude of the object to be approximately 1000 meters. Hedenmalm concluded his report by stating that he had ruled out the possibility of the object being a meteor.
