A shining spaceship slowly gliding above the water and landing on a nearby mountain!

"After this event, I don't know what to believe. My experience seems so unreal". Karl Axelsson, living in Brunflo, Jàmtland in Mid-Sweden, recalls this strange event which occurred the night of 17/18 March 1986. Never before in his life has he seen anything like what appeared that night. "I was terribly frightened. It was some sort of a craft not coming from the earth. It must have originated from another planet, I am fully convinced of that", he concedes.

Elna, his wife, adds: "Just the thought of being visited by vehicles and creatures from another planet is terrible and frightening. But that's the way it is. We surely did see the craft, both of us. I was sitting beside Karl in the car when the craft appeared. Our neighbor, living further down the road, and my mother, who lives somewhat further away, both observed the same thing. And certainly, we can't have hallucinated or just imagined all of it, either".

A powerful lamp

The house of Karl and Elna stands on a hilltop with a fantastic view to the lake Locknesjön, In clear weather they can see many prominent mountains to the north, scores of kilometers away. On the far side of the lake the spire of Lockne church can be seen, pointing upwards over the treetops. On the evening of Monday 17 March, Elna had made a delicious soup and invited her mother, Linnea, to join them. She lives some 400 meters away and was met by Karl in the doorway. "Our neighbor, Bradessons, has put up a powerful lamp behind the pigsty", was her first remark that evening. "I was rather surprised" Karl says, "It was an odd place to mount a lamp, so I wondered if maybe my mother-in-law was mistaken, and that the neighbor had mounted the lamp in front of the pigsty. But she insisted - it was behind the house.

By 8 o'clock they had finished their meal. The wind had increased and the weather was cold and unpleasant when the time came for Karl to drive his mother-in-law home. When they had driven only a short distance, Linnea pointed towards a powerful shining light at the far side of the lake. It was the same strong light which she had seen earlier behind the neighbor’s pigsty.

"Neither my mother-in-law nor I could understand what kind of light this could be. At first we guessed it might be some sort of modern wood-processing machinery with a light high up on a mast; however, after a short while we rejected that idea. The light was too high, and it was too late in the day for workers to be out in the wood. We sat in the car for some 10 minutes and discussed the strange light before I drove my mother-in-law to her house".

The light moved

Karl saw the light again when he returned home. He had intended to hurry inside to watch TV, but this light haunted him. There was something very strange about it!

Throughout his entire life, Karl has had a keen interest in astronomy. Since his schooldays he has known the constellations, and can find his way about on the celestial sphere. This, however, was certainly no star, - and neither could it be a machine in the wood. But what could it be, then? he asked himself. He fetched his powerful binoculars and drove a distance down the road. He pulled down his side-window in order to get the best possible view.

The strange light was yellow-white and powerful. It pulsated permanently,
