UFO-Memorial Ängelholm

The UFO-Memorial Ängelholm is, aside from the Emilicin UFO memorial ground, the only shrine in Europe to be built in remembrance to a UFO landing. Dedicated in 1963, it is situated in a forest clearing at Kronoskogen, a suburb of the Swedish town of Ängelholm, which had witnessed numerous "large-scale test flights" in that time period.

The memorial consists of a model of the UFO and the landing traces, and is constructed of concrete.

Clas Svahn, chairman of UFO-Sweden, has investigated the case and written a book together with Gösta Carlsson about the incident. According to him there was no convincing evidence that the event ever took place the way Gösta Carlsson described it. [cite web

In the encounter Gösta Carlsson claims to have received recipes for natural remedies. Based on this knowledge he started the pharmaceutical companies Cernelle and Allergon which grew to become a success and made him wealthy. He later founded the first professional ice-hockey club in Sweden - Rögle BK.
