A Swedish technical expert observed an unidentified object near his home on the edge of a lake that appeared to crash or land in the water; Swedish naval divers subsequently discovered a previously uncharted crater on the lake floor.
“One of these objects was observed by a Swedish technical expert near his home on the edge of a lake. The object crashed or landed in the lake and he carefully noted its azimuth from his point of observation. Swedish intelligence was sufficiently confident in his observation that a naval salvage team was sent to the lake. Operations were underway during the visit of USAFE officers. Divers had discovered a previuosly uncharted crater on the floor of the lake.”
