This document is a police report dated September 3, 1946, detailing an investigation into a sighting of light phenomena that occurred on the evening of September 1, 1946, at Tallhaga, Strömtorp, in Degerfors, Sweden. The primary witness, Gösta Johansson, reported observing a light on the ground and subsequently discovered coke-like and slag-like objects. He later informed the editor of the Karlskoga-Kuriren newspaper. A second witness, Arvid Emanuel Pettersson, who lived at the property, reported that he and his family were inside their home when the event occurred and were unaware of the phenomena until Johansson informed him at approximately 20:15. Pettersson accompanied Johansson outside and confirmed the presence of a gas-like smell, which he also noted the following morning. Upon inspection on September 3, 1946, the investigating police officer found approximately 3 cubic decimeters of coke-like and slag-like material scattered over an area of 25 by 15 meters. The investigation confirmed that no physical marks were visible on the ground, and the witnesses maintained that the objects had not been present previously and that the site had not been disturbed. No damage to the property or health impacts on the residents were reported.
