1946-07-09: 6 reports from Gävle defence area

&nbsp;

I hereby respectfully announce, that on 11/7 the following reports regarding &quot;fireballs&quot; have been sent in to defense district staff.

1. Agronomist &Ouml;stling, Borrbacken, Ljusdal, observed on 9/7 a fireball from the bridge over Ljusnan 500 m west of Ljusdal. The fireball, which was followed by a comet tail with a length of 15-20 m was observed to the east of the bridge and went from south to north. The distance to the ball could not be specified, neither could its altitude. The ball emitted a white light during a period of about a second. The light was so strong that it dazed the observer. The ball&#39;s direction towards the ground was estimated to 70-80 degrees. No impact could be observed near Ljusdal.

2. Hvobef (Home Guard district commander) in Delsbo reports, that he during a boat ride on S. Dellen observed a fireball, which at an impact angle at about 70-80 degrees and at a height of 300-500 meters travelled in direction towards the water.

3. Hvobef in F&auml;rila reports, that a fireball was observed on the 9/7 moving in a northern direction at low height above Stocksbo and Hyttebo villages. The ball emitted a bright shine and was followed be a long smoke tail. The shine lasted for a minute at most. It is thought that the ball struck down in Svart&aring;n. However there was no notice of impact in the water.

4. In the surroundings of Mackmyra it is reported that a fireball was observed in the east on 9/7, with a strong blinding light. The fireball, seen for about 2 seconds, passed from south to north.

5. A farmer from Hillebyn reports that he on 9/7 at 14:30 heard a rustling sound and at the same time felt a strong pressure. His son, who was in the vicinity saw a 5 or 6 meters long blinding streak of fire, which was seen to struck down 600 or 700 meters away in direction towards M&aring;rd&auml;ngssj&ouml;n. Bathing girls reported shortly after of a large fire streak striking down in M&aring;rd&auml;ngssj&ouml;n and that waves occured in the water from the impact.

6. County police in &Aring;rsunda reports, that two plowlike fire streaks in the shape of Mauser bullets struck down in N&auml;sbyggesj&ouml;n at a 35 degree angle. A long smoke streak followed the fire streaks.
