UFO'S Sighted, Photographed in Sweden; Unidentified Satellite Seen

This document, an FDD Note dated 17 March 1960, summarizes a report from the Stockholm daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter regarding UFO sightings in Sweden. The newspaper article, titled 'Light in Sky New Satellite, Experts Believe', detailed observations made on 6 March 1960. A luminous object was sighted shortly after 2000 hours by the crew of a Linjeflyg Swedish airline plane and was simultaneously observed from the observatory in Saltsjoebaden. Docent Gunnar Larsson-Leander of the observatory stated that the object was likely a satellite and explicitly ruled out a meteor or shooting star. Additionally, the document notes that two unidentified flying objects were observed and photographed on the morning of 6 March by a photographer named Esse Jansson in Norrtaelp. Jansson reported that he had gone into a field to photograph the unidentified satellite, 1960 Alpha, which was expected at that time.
