UFO-Memorial Ängelholm

The UFO-Memorial Ängelholm is a statue dedicated to a supposed unidentified flying object (UFO) landing in Kronoskogen, a forested area of Ängelholm, Sweden. The memorial consists of a model of the UFO and the landing traces, and is constructed of concrete.
The UFO-Memorial Ängelholm memorialises the landing of a UFO, which is said to have taken place on 18 May 1946 and to have been seen by the Swedish entrepreneur, founder and owner of Cernelle AB, Gösta Karlsson. It is situated in a forest clearing at Kronoskogen, which had witnessed numerous "large-scale test flights" in that time period.
By 1991, Carlsson was credited in English-language UFO lore. In 1995, Swedish ufologist Clas Svahn wrote a book together with Carlsson about the incident (The meeting in the clearing). According to him, there was no convincing evidence that the event ever took place the way Carlsson described it.
A few other such memorials exist in Europe (other examples include the memorial for the Robert Taylor incident in Livingston, Scotland and the Emilcin UFO memorial in Emilcin, Poland).
