&quot;Glowing drops&quot; and rain of sparks in the sky

A continued intensive firing of space projectiles took place on Monday as well, and a large number of cases have been reported from different parts of the country. From upper Norrland there&#39;s a description of a glowing fireball, which travelled over a town at high velocity. It&#39;s described as a &quot;glowing drop&quot;, which left a blue white streak behind it. No sound was heard and no smoke could be observed.

This Sunday, a pair of crayfish fishers in a municipality in southeastern Sweden observed a rocket projectile sweep through from north to south. The projectile was clearly visible and both observers claim that it had an elongated shape and went on a relatively low height. From its rear a strong blue red flame could be seen bursting out. The projectile disappeared in short time over the horizon.

A fireball, going in a northerly direction was observed on Sunday evening by two people from a place in middle Norrland. The ball went at 150 meters height and exploded just as it was passing by a stream. No sound could be heard.

In middle Sweden one person observed a torpedo like object on the Monday evening, which with a strong white glow passed at a fairly high height in a southeasterly direction. The strong glowing light came from the front of the object. The space projectile was observed for a short while and then disintegrated or disappeared out of sight. t resembled a large cigar and was wider in the front and thinner towards the rear.

A faint buzzing sound and a flash of light resembling that of a magnesium flame were characteristic for a space projectile, which on Sunday evening was observed at dusk by a pair of bicycling girls in northern Sweden. It went from southeast to northwest at a fairly low height and at a distance which both girls estimated to a few kilometers.

A rain of sparks

At separate locations in Bohusl&auml;n, V&auml;sterg&ouml;tland and V&auml;rmland there were observations of light phenomena on Monday evening, most which have been similar in nature. They all have in common that a rain of sparks fell down from the glowing body. The glow was yellow white in the shape of a ball with a narrowing tail. Generally the light phenomena have moved in the direction north-to-south.

On the Monday evening three people in a location in southern Sweden observed a star shaped, orb like, light phenomenon with a dull yellow light. It came from north northwest and went in a south easterly direction. The height was impossible to make out.

At about the same time as the torpedo like object with strong white glow&nbsp; was observed on monday evening in middle Sweden, five people in southern Norrland observed a strongly glowing object, also torpedo shaped and with a similar heading. The height was estimated to merely 200 or 300 meters, and the object appeared to be descending towards the horizon.

On Sunday evening at the exact same time there was a similar observation at the same place in southern Norrland, but this time the direction of the object was south-to-north.
