The UFO memorial in a forest clearing outside Ängelholm depicts a scaled-down replica of an alien spacecraft that allegedly made an emergency landing at this spot in 1946.
If you follow the sign "Fågelreservat/UFO" from the parking lot of the Siberia beach, you will reach a small clearing with the supposed landing site of the spacecraft after about 400 meters of walking through the forest.The UFO memorial consists of a scaled-down model of a flying saucer made of concrete, weighing approximately 3 tons. Large, concrete-filled circles are located around the model, intended to mark the actual dimensions of the landing marks.
It was May 18, 1946, when Gösta Carlsson, then 28 years old, noticed a bright glow of light late one evening on his way home through the Siberia forest. Following the light, he saw an alien spaceship in a clearing that had apparently made an emergency landing and whose crew was busy with repair work.
