Here is a translation:

Photo: Local people in Vemån in Härjedalen, start to wonder when they found
a mysterious hole in the ground. The hole may be formed when a meteorite hit
the ground on hill.

A possible meteorite fall i Härjedalen

A unexplained hole in the ground with eye-witess reports of fireball on the
sky suggest that a meteorite felt in Vemån, northwest from Sveg. So write
the Östersunds-Posten newspaper. Eye-witnesses reported uniformly. At seven
in Friday morning a bright light and round object which was falling at
great speed were observed from different locations in Härjedalen.
-I have seen never anything like it. I first noticed the light which was
very intense althought it was quite bright outside, told one eye-witness.

It (the hole) was strange
In saturnday Jan-Evert Persson found a hole outside Vemån, which may be
formed by meteorite.
-It was strange. I had to stop and try to figure out what made it, told
Jan-Evert.
He soon figure out that something hit down from the sky with great force.
Object formed a round hole 80 cm in diameter and disappeared. Soil spread
around the hole like if a bomb hit there.

It can still be there
>From Natural history state museum an expert tolt that if it was a meteorite
which made the hole, it still should be there. Meteorites should not mix up
with meteors which are so small that they melt and vaporized totally up in
atmosphere. Meteorites are easy to identify by scientist, for example by
fusion crust which is a black cover formed during deceleration in
atmosphere.

Hi Thomas and List,

My Swedish translation skills are horrible at best, but from what
little I've been able to get out of the short article, no meteorites
were found -- just the hole. It was assumed that the hole was
~made~ by a meteorite, but I could find no mention of a meteorite
or meteorites recovered.
