Seminar with Clas Svahn, journalist and chairman of the world’s largest archive of the unexplained, the Archives for the Unexplained (AFU) in Norrköping, Sweden, and an active member of the national organisation UFO-Sweden. Clas Svahn has also authored nearly 30 books on the subject. In 2024, he was named Popular Educator of the Year by the Swedish Association for Education and Skepticism (Vetenskap och Folkbildning).

Summary:
Swedish and American fighter pilots have on several occasions encountered unidentified objects in the sky. At the Archives for the Unexplained, thousands of accounts of ghost rockets, UFO phenomena and mysterious creatures have been preserved. Drawing on this unique archive, Clas Svahn takes the audience behind the stories, introduces eyewitnesses, and recounts some of the most remarkable cases, as well as a few that eventually found surprisingly down-to-earth explanations.
