PM Över läget 16/8 beträffande rymdprojektiler

This memorandum, dated August 16, 1946, provides a status update regarding 'space projectiles' (rymdprojektiler) in Sweden. The document details several administrative and operational actions taken by the Swedish Air Force and Navy, including the relocation of personnel to the archipelago (Landsort, Ytterhamnskär, and Bullarö) to establish direct communication with the air combat control center, and the preparation of a fighter group in Uppsala. It notes that costs for naval equipment were deemed reasonable by the FOA. The report mentions that a suspected impact in Västergötland on August 11 yielded no results. A significant portion of the document is dedicated to summarizing reports of aerial phenomena. This includes a detailed description from border supervisors in Värmland regarding a small, 5-8 meter long object with short, blunt wings, observed traveling at 800 km/h. Further reports from August 16 describe two silver-like spheres observed in Högsäter and a grey, gull-shaped object with white-shining wings observed in Mariestad. The document also briefly mentions three other indistinct light phenomena, potentially rockets or meteors, and a strange thunderstorm in Lund.
