Swefinex 2014 (Flygvapenövning 2014) with Finnish military aircraft.
Swedish military aircraft overturned horses.
A strong detonation was heard at 19 o'clock in the evening of Dalarna , Hälsingland and Värmland (large part of Sweden).
Horses should have overturned and windows smashed in by the powerful blast.
According to the police , there is "a military aircraft ."
Police in Dalarna was tonight totally outphoned of anxious people after a loud bang was heard all over the countryside .
Some 20 people called directly to local police communications central .
- There was a little problems. Horses have fallen over , many windows cracked , says Göran Nilsson , duty officer at the police in Dalarna .
" Military planes "
Police quickly took the suspicion that this was not about " something locally ," according to Nilsson.
- It came in a bunch of different suggestions , ranging from earthquakes to meteors. But pretty soon we stated that it probably was an aircraft , he says.
After a verification call to the Search and Rescue Centre in Gothenburg could suspicions be confirmed .
- We were told that this is case of a military plane . More than that I do not know , says Nilsson (Swedish police sit in their cars).
Even residents in Hälsingland noted a bang .
Bollnäscitizen Norell had just finished eating after grilled beefs in the nice weather.
- It slammed into something of hell . I wondered if something had flown into the air , he says.
The heating plant was the first thing he thought of . But through social media , he understood that the blast was heard over several counties , and that there was talk of a ground explosion.
- There were two blasts, first a muffled bang and then a massive. An anti-tank mine was what I thought at first about said Hans Norell.
When the template was Linnea Andersson out with her eight- month-old dog Esther . Both of them reacted to the sound that they heard outside Filipstad (over part of Sweden).
- The bang was small to substantially and boomed very well afterward, says Linnea Andersson.
The dog recovered quickly from having heard a bang for the first time.
- It was not so bad here compared to in Dalarna what I understand . But it was a pretty good bang, says Linnea Andersson.
The defense regrets
Therese Fagerstedt , press officer at Military Forces , said that the case of a Jas 39 Gripen on the way from Skaraborgs airbase (Såtenäs) to F21 in Luleå. The plane had taken part in a military exercise , Swefinex 14 , together with the Finnish Defence Forces and was on his way home .
- Divisioncommander in Lulea had given orders that the pilot would fly home quickly because of a storm that is about to enter . The pilot then has made a so-called supersonic flight and flew faster than sound . Certain weather conditions may enhance the sonic boom that occurs , thus occurred here , says Therese Fagerstedt .
Armed Forces regret the incident.
- It 's not so god , of course. It is certainly not meant for us to worry about people like this for Sunday evening , said Fagerstedt .
