According to Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ängelholm_UFO_memorial
„The Ängelholm UFO memorial is a monument dedicated to an alleged UFO landing site in the Kronoskogen forest near Ängelholm, Sweden. It includes a concrete scale model of a flying saucer, the purportedly life-size landing impressions on the ground, and copper plaques mounted on pillars. The monument reflects the account of Swedish entrepreneur Gösta Carlsson [sv], who attributed his success in life to encountering a UFO in 1946.[1] The memorial, erected in 1972, is maintained by the local government. Investigations into the account have not corroborated the UFO narrative. Despite a lack of evidence, it has become a tourist destination and national heritage site.“

We found this memorial while exploring South-West of Sweden. We love hitchhiking and we love the UFO topic. Thought this might fit in this Sub.
Anyways, the article on Wikipedia is quite interesting, yet questionably weird.
„Carlsson attributed his success to a May 1946 encounter with a UFO in the woods near Ängelholm, though he did not make any public statements until the 1970s.[1][6] Carlsson said he was walking back from the beach through Kronoskogen, a forest planted into sandy soil to protect the coast,[1] when he noticed a light at the edge of a clearing. He approached what, from a distance, seemed to be a crew setting up a carousel.[7] Upon entering the glade, he reported seeing a disc sitting on a keel-like fin and a pair of retractable legs.[8] Carlsson claims to have interacted with the crew, one of whom used a device resembling a chest-mounted bellows camera to keep him away. He described the human-looking crew as wearing tight-fitting, white flight suits with dark boots, belts, hoods, and earplugs.[8][9]: 214–223
After Carlsson witnessed the craft leave, he returned to the clearing to gather what he believed were discarded artifacts, including a quartz rod. He measured gouges in the ground that he attributed to the craft,[9]: 212–223 and created sketches that would later form the basis of the UFO memorial.[6] Throughout 1946, Carlsson reported a series of strange dreams where he said the UFO’s pilot would communicate ideas to him.[9]: 222–225 Carlsson would later tell an interviewer “the driver […] speaks to me. I don’t know if it’s words or thoughts I perceive.”[9]: 223 These dreams, Carlsson claimed, spurred him to experiment with pollen as a natural remedy and start his company.“ – From Wikipedia.
