A couple, Emil and Ada Carlsson were out in their front yard when they saw something out of the corner of their eyes overhead. Looking up they were surprised to see a large object passing overhead without a complete lack of engine noise. There was a viewing where numerous human like “persons” were looking down on them. The object resembled the hull of a boat without any protrusions or visible engines, sort of an oblong shell shaped. The size was about the same as a bus and the color of the hull was gray and rustic. On the other hand, the occupant’s clothing was very colorful. The object was surrounded by a dim light. This is probably what made it look so detailed. The object passed by absolutely silent on an oblique route from in a southeast to southwest direction. It was in view for a period of three minutes. The weather had been clear and almost cloudless.

The “airship” was about 50-meters higher than the church tower of Arboga. The church tower is about 60 meters high. There were no neighbors nearby that they could call to. They just stood there watching the strange ship wondering what it was. In the object there were about 20 to 25 human-like people standing next to each other and looking down. They could only the upper body of the people. Their faces were like ordinary people, and they lacked headgear. What was striking was that their clothing was “splendorous” like all the colors of the rainbow combined. It was reminiscent to modern rainwear in vivid colors. When the vehicle was tilted above them, they could see int entire width and all the people in it. it then slowly turned towards northwest. It did not suddenly disappear; it moved away slowly and steadily until it disappeared into the distance. The witnesses were convinced that they had just witnessed “a group of tourists” from another world.
