A mysterious light phenomenon has been observed over much of central Sweden.
For several seconds, the sky lit up around 10:30 p.m. on Saturday night.
– I was fucking scared! Alexander Skog says he saw the phenomenon in Sala.
Witnesses from Örnsköldsvik, Järvsö, Sala, Uppsala, Eskilstuna, Värmland, Västerås, Öland, Stockholm, even Mörröm have heard stories about the mysterious phenomenon of light that lit up the sky on Saturday night.
The phenomenon has also been observed in Ostrobothnia, Finland.
Sven-Åke Eriksson, 54, in Medåker, on the outskirts of Arboga, was out with her dogs when the sky suddenly lit up.
– It got bright, almost like during the day. The dogs also stopped and watched, he says.
A few seconds after the light, a loud sound was heard, says Alexander Skog, who is in Sala.
– I was very afraid of shit, he says.
Hundreds of people in central Sweden have heard of similar experiences.
The windows shook
It dissolved throughout the sky, then rumbled so the windows shook, says Jimmy Baunsgaard, 44, who was watching a movie with the neighbor when it happened.
– My wife thought it was an explosion, but I thought it sounded too strange. It sounded like a jet plane, continue.
– Damn small here in Västerås! The sky lit up and then there was a crash. It was terrifying, writes a witness in Västerås.
In Järvsö, Kristina Nordin, 54, was with the dog when she saw the light.
– I thought “but God, what is happening?” It was a giant glow, like a firework, he says.
The dog Frasse did not react at all.
I was driving off the road
– It was like it was day for a second, then carbon black again, says 18-year-old Ellen Båtsby.
She was sitting in a car with four of her friends on the outskirts of Finspång when it happened.
– I didn’t think the others noticed anything at first, but I asked them and they were also very shocked. We went off the road, we were very scared, he says.
According to Eric Stempels, a researcher at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Uppsala University, it could have been a fireball, that is, a kind of bright meteor burning in the atmosphere.
– Both this light and the roar that people have described is consistent with the fact that it was a great ball of fire that burned in this area, he tells Expressen.
