Ängelholm and the Monument to a Landing
On 18 May 1946 a Swedish businessman named Gösta Carlsson said he came upon a disc-shaped craft and its crew in the woods outside this town. He later maintained that what he learned there helped him develop an allergy remedy, on which he built his fortune. In 1972 Carlsson erected a concrete monument on the spot — a circle with an account of the event. It is still there, and appears to be the only monument in the world put up at his own expense by the witness of his own encounter. 1946 in Sweden was the year of the ghost rockets: that summer the country collected some two thousand reports of projectile-like objects, and a proportion of them are unexplained still.
Quarouble and the Sleepers That Had to Be Replaced
On the night of 10 September 1954 a metalworker named Marius Dewilde went out to his barking dog in the yard of his house by the railway embankment near this village in northern France and, by his account, saw a dark mass on the track and two small beings in something like diving suits. A beam from the mass, he said, held him still for a minute. The next day gendarmes and railwaymen found depressions in the sleepers; a calculation from the strength of creosoted oak gave a load of thirty tonnes over a few square centimetres. Five sleepers were replaced. It is the first widely investigated case in France and the beginning of the French school of the subject.
