AI-Generated Summary
Minutes from a 1946 Swedish military meeting regarding unidentified projectiles. It highlights a specific sighting near Uddevalla by an engineer and notes that the Defense Staff was investigating the reports.
This document records the minutes of a meeting held on August 30, 1946, by the Swedish Air Force Administration (FF) regarding projectiles observed over Sweden. The meeting was attended by representatives from various military and research branches, including the Defense Staff (Fst), the Research Institute of National Defence (FOA), and the National Defence Radio Establishment (FRA). Major Ahlgren provided a summary of events occurring since August 20, noting that approximately 40 reports had been received, with 53% categorized as light phenomena. A significant portion of the meeting focused on a detailed observation made on August 22 near Uddevalla by a mining engineer employed at Flygmotor in Trollhättan. The witness described the object as torpedo-shaped with a relatively large diameter compared to its length. It emitted a yellow flame from the rear and produced a sound described as a 'low-revving explosion motor,' distinct from a standard aircraft engine. The witness noted uncertainty regarding the presence of wings, suggesting it might be a reaction assembly with intermittent combustion. The document concludes by noting that the Defense Staff (Fst) considered the object to be an aircraft and that the matter was under further investigation.
ljud som efter en "lågvarvig explosionsmotor", ej som efter en flygmotor, troligen reaktionsaggregat med intermittent förbränning
