Report on Aerial Phenomena in Lojo and Esbo, August 1946

This report, dated August 6, 1946, and authored by Naval Attaché G. Sjöberg-Silfverling, details aerial phenomena observed in Finland. The document describes a sighting in Lojo shortly after midnight on July 28, 1946, moving toward the north and lasting only a few seconds. Additionally, it reports that a group of eight people in Granö, Esbo, observed two light phenomena at 02:15 and 03:15. The first object moved from north to south, appearing as a dark, 3-4 meter long shadow that occasionally ejected sparks. The second object, observed three times, also ejected sparks resembling fireworks. These phenomena were described as having very high speeds and producing no sound. The report includes an analysis attributed to an unnamed scientist, as published in the newspaper Ilta Sanomat. This scientist suggested that the phenomena were likely meteors, noting a speed of approximately 20 km/sec. While the scientist acknowledged the theoretical possibility of advanced rocket technology, they argued that the extreme speeds observed suggested the objects originated from outside the Earth. The scientist further remarked that if the objects were indeed rockets, they did not originate from Germany, America, or Iceland.
