Field Report: Investigation of Impact Site near Husby, July 1946

This field report, dated July 12, 1946, documents the investigation of an impact site near Husby, Sweden, conducted by Fjärdingsman K.G. Junevall. The investigation followed a report from a witness named Karlsson, who is described as highly credible. Upon searching the area, which was initially delayed by darkness, the investigator discovered two slag-like objects and a quantity of smaller particles at the location indicated by the witness. The larger object was approximately 10 cm in diameter with an irregular, porous shape, while the smaller piece was the size of a matchbox. Black, scale-like flakes were also found in the immediate vicinity. The ground at the site consisted of hard clay, and notably, there was no significant depression caused by the impact. The site was marked with a branch for identification. Landsfiskal Elon Nyberg of the Glanshammar district visited the site and took possession of the recovered items. The report concludes with a technical description of the material, noting that the porous slag is in contact with a shale-like substance that splits into thin layers. The material is non-magnetic and is not composed of iron oxides, though it bears a resemblance to hammer scale. The report mentions that similar material was previously documented in the Njurundafyndet 4:2 case.
