TL;DR

A 1946 Swedish police report documents multiple sightings of a small, wing-equipped, torpedo-shaped object flying over Lake Trehörningen. Witnesses described the object as having an aircraft-like engine sound and observed it descending into the water.

This report, dated August 26, 1946, from the Fjärdingsman (district police officer) of Tavelsjö, details multiple sightings of an unidentified aerial object described as an 'aerial torpedo' over Lake Trehörningen, Sweden. The first sighting occurred in late May 1946, when Sigfrid Forsberg, Tycko Andersson, and Holger Sandström observed a gray, torpedo-shaped object with wings, approximately one meter in size, flying at an altitude of 100-200 meters. The object produced a sound similar to an aircraft engine but emitted no light or smoke. It maintained a westerly course before tilting to the left to adjust its heading. Subsequent sightings occurred on July 5, 1946. At 11:00, master builder J.B. Forsberg observed a similar object flying at 100 meters altitude. Later that day, at 16:00, J.B. Forsberg and his daughter-in-law, Britt Forsberg, observed a third instance of the object. They reported that the object was flying at an altitude of 75-100 meters, appeared to lose speed, and eventually descended into the water approximately 700-800 meters from the shore. The report was submitted to the Swedish Defense Staff's Air Defense Department for further investigation.

Såväl Forsberg som Britt Forsberg sågo tydligt att torpeden dalade mot sjön och träffade vattenytan sedan den kommit c:a 7-800 m. ut på sjön.
