Prov nr 22 (Sample No. 22) - Analysis Report
AI-Generated Summary
A metallic cylinder found in Ulricehamn in 1946 was analyzed by the Swedish FOA. The agency concluded it was a discarded heating element from a food preservation kit, not related to space projectiles or ammunition.
This document, dated August 22, 1946, details the analysis of a metallic object (Sample No. 22) recovered on August 13, 1946, near the Ätran river, north of Ulricehamn, Sweden. The object was submitted to the FOA (Swedish Defence Research Agency) for identification after being found by an individual. The item is described as a 30 mm long metallic cylinder with a 37 mm diameter. It features a central hole and six additional holes spaced 11 mm from the center on both ends. The interior was filled with a hardened, light green substance. Upon arrival at the laboratory, the cylinder was found to be split open. Spectral analysis revealed the casing was made of aluminum, while the internal mass contained magnesium, copper, and barium. The report notes that this chemical composition is consistent with heating elements used for warming canned food or for hair-curling apparatuses. While the investigators noted the shape did not match typical hair-curling devices, they concluded that the object was likely part of a food preservation kit discarded by foreign aircraft some time ago. The report explicitly states that the object has no connection to space projectiles and is not a piece of ammunition.
Säkerligen har det ingenting med rymdprojektiler att skaffa och är ingen ammunitionseffekt.

The object is likely part of a food preservation kit dropped by foreign aircraft long ago. It has nothing to do with space projectiles and is not ammunition.
Qualitative spectral analysis identified aluminum in the casing and Mg, Cu, and Ba in the internal mass. The composition is consistent with heating elements used for canned food or hair-curling devices.
