Prov nr 17 - Report on findings in Rynninge, Örebro

This document, designated as 'Prov nr 17' and received by the FOA on August 10, 1946, details the investigation into a report of mysterious material found in Rynninge, Örebro. On the morning of August 8, 1946, Hilma Wallin discovered a collection of coke and slag pieces scattered across her freshly raked gravel path. Her husband, Elis Wallin, a former workshop worker, assisted in collecting the items and noted similar material on a neighbor's property. The family reported that the yard had been clear the previous evening and that no children or other individuals had been on the property to account for the debris. The matter was reported to the newspaper Örebro-Kuriren, which subsequently notified the TT news agency. The FOA conducted an analysis of the submitted samples, which included approximately ten coke-like pieces, three small slag pieces, and one reddish-brown piece of organic material. The laboratory concluded that the appearance of the slag and coke was identical to ash and half-burnt coke raked from standard heating boilers. The report notes that such findings are common on gravel paths, as ash is frequently used for traction during the winter months. The document concludes that the material is mundane in origin.
