UFO-Memorial Ängelholm

UFO-Memorial Ängelholm, UFO memorial in Ängelholm, Sweden

UFO-Memorial Ängelholm is a site in Sweden that commemorates a reported extraterrestrial landing and includes a spacecraft model along with concrete ground markings. The markings on the ground indicate the location where the incident was said to have occurred according to witness accounts.

A local resident named Gösta Carlsson reported witnessing an extraterrestrial landing near Ängelholm in May 1946. The event later inspired the creation of a memorial established in 1972 to document this phenomenon that gained regional attention.

The site has become a landmark in local identity, marking a moment when an ordinary claim captured widespread public curiosity and debate. It shows how a single reported sighting shaped conversation and memory in this Swedish town.

The memorial is open year-round to visitors and does not require any admission fee. You can visit the site at any time and no special preparation is needed.

Carlsson left behind precise measurements of the landing impressions, which were later cast into concrete to show the exact dimensions of the reported spacecraft. These ground marks serve as a physical record of his original observation.
