In the night on 26 September in Sweden they noticed two unknown drones with flashing lights. Police opened proceedings, according to SVT.
The flight of suspicious unmanned aerial vehicles was recorded in the sky over the Karlskrona archipelago in Sweden, where the main base of the country's Naval Forces is located.
Local residents of the islands Sturkö and Tjurkö reported about flights of suspicious devices. Law enforcers, having arrived at the place, also managed to record one of them.
What investigators say
According to on-duty investigator Mattias Lundgren, it was a large drone, similar to those that had been noticed earlier over Denmark and Skåne. According to his data, the devices were shining with green and red lights.
The operations center confirmed that there are at least two drones. Police have already begun proceedings under articles related to violations of aviation legislation and the law protecting objects.
Despite numerous eyewitness testimonies, no unmanned aerial vehicle has been seized to date. Likewise there are no suspects in this case.
Investigators do not exclude the possibility that these events may be connected to recent incidents in Denmark and Norway, where drones were spotted over Kastrup airport.
In the command of the Air Forces F17 and in the Naval Forces, they noted that official reports about the incident have not been received.
