Case xxx:

Silvery object over Ortviken

&nbsp;

Time: July 18, 11.00-11.30 (noon)

Place: Ortviken, near Sundsvall, and Sundsvall (BN54)

&nbsp;

From Sundsvalls Tidning: &quot;Another space missile was observed at 11.00 hours on Thursday by three workers at the Ortviken factory near Sundsvall. It was an oblong, silvery object that seemed to pass by at an altitude of 200-300 meters without any sound or smoke. Direction of flight was initially to the north, but before disappearing the missile changed to a northwesterly course.&quot;

&nbsp;

The sighting was reported to the Defence Staff by captain R. Westlin of the Lv5, the anti-aircraft regiment in Sundsvall:

&nbsp;

&quot;I have the honour to report that, on this day, Thursday July 18th, an aerial object once again was seen in Sundsvall. A repairman at the Ortviken sulphite factory witnessed, at about 11.00 hours, a silvery object coming from the southwest. He called out for two other workers nearby, who also saw the object, which, after going over the factory, changed course towards northwest. The object, which was broader in front and tapered off at the back, neither emitted sound nor smoke. Altitude or distance could not be judged.&quot;&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Probably the same object was later viewed by another witness, and duly reported to the Defence Staff by captain Westlin:

&nbsp;

&quot;I have the honour to report the following: Bank manager Falk spotted, on July 18, at about 11.30 hours, from a window of Riksbanken in Sundsvall an aluminum-shining object, like a tube, that seemed to go on a westerly course over Norra Stadsberget (a hill north of Sundsvall). Since he was indoors by a window, he couldn&#39;t catch any sound. Neither altitude nor distance could be estimated. Speed did not seem to be very great.&quot;

&nbsp;

Note: The daily tabulation at the Air Defence&nbsp; department has the following comment concerning the Ortviken sighting: &quot;Could possibly be airplane (FRA)&quot;. FRA is the Defence Radio Institute, which had just started to fly signal reconnaissance missions. It is conceivable that the Staff had the ability to coordinate sightings with FRA flight plans.

&nbsp;

Status: Possibly aircraft.
