Incident Report: Bomb Impact at Brantshammar, July 1946

This report, dated July 18, 1946, details an investigation into a 'bomb impact' reported near Brantshammar, Sweden, which occurred on July 9, 1946. The witness, Karl Lundin, initially did not report the event for fear of not being believed, but later contacted the district prosecutor after discovering physical remnants at the site. The phenomenon was described as a glowing sphere, approximately the size of a croquet ball, displaying rainbow colors and trailing a 2.5 to 3-meter-long tail. The object moved continuously without zig-zagging or pulsing, accompanied by a hissing sound that intensified at the moment of 'detonation,' which occurred roughly 1.25 meters above the ground. The entire event lasted between 1 and 1.5 seconds. Investigators from InfSS visited the site and recovered physical remnants that were identified as foreign to the local agricultural soil. The report notes that because similar phenomena were being reported simultaneously across the country, the investigators hypothesized that the event might be related to a meteorite impact. The recovered materials were forwarded for further analysis.
