OBSERVATIONSJOURNAL för ER 1, 8/11 1946
AI-Generated Summary
A Swedish military observation log from 1946 records radar echoes that could not be visually confirmed. The report documents both identified vessel echoes and an unidentified radar return.
This document is an observation journal entry from November 8, 1946, recorded at station ER 1, located 500 meters east-northeast of the Ottenby station in Sweden. The report details radar observations made on that date. Between 15:42 and 15:46, radar echoes were detected and identified as vessels through optical scanning. Later, at 18:54, another radar echo of magnitude 2 was recorded, lasting for 35 seconds. Despite immediate optical efforts to identify the source of this second echo, no vessel or light could be observed due to the darkness. The document also lists fixed radar echoes used for calibration, including the Långe Jan lighthouse, Gräsgård church, and the Grönhögen factory. The report is signed by Sune Egemalm, the troop commander.
Optisk spaning igångsattes omedelbart, men något fartyg eller ljus från dylikt kunde icke iakttagas i det rådande mörkret.
