Case description
Gösta Carlsson said that on May 18, 1946, he encountered a landed craft and its crew in a forest clearing outside Ängelholm, Sweden. He described figures working on the object and guards preventing him from coming closer. The imported catalogue emphasizes a domed object and activity near a window.
Carlsson later connected the experience with ideas he said helped him develop his pollen business. He also claimed that objects were left behind. In 1972 he erected a scale monument at the clearing, which became a local attraction. These later developments are part of the history of the claim rather than evidence recorded during the original encounter.
Clas Svahn investigated Carlsson's account over many years and co-authored a book with him, while also identifying circumstances that did not support Carlsson's version. The linked Spanish-language video is a case-specific retelling. The plate reconstructs the claimed 1946 clearing scene and should be distinguished from photographs of the later monument.
