Mora Knives Story

How many know this story about a couple long time Mora employees? I found this today on another private forum. Its an interesting story about missing persons, well a whole family but I find it interesting that some close to the situation feel it seems rather 'odd' lets say. I had never heard this. It comes from a relatively good source I think. Jeff Adams said the go ahead was in to put this out and apparently he is someone close to those missing or that has investigated it.

In August of 1982 a family of 8 was reported missing from their small farm north of Mora, Sweden [this is near lake Siljan, in the middle of the country]. The family consisted of a father, mother, 4 children (2 boys, 2 girls) an uncle and a grandfather. Ages of the children was between 8 and 14. The family was reported missing after the father and uncle failed to show up for work on Monday at a local knife factory [Mora Knife Works]. No signs of a struggle were seen in the home, however the following odd things were noted: family pictures were missing from their frames, clothing was missing, closets were empty, tools were missing from a shed, livestock and pets were missing, hunting weapons were gone, and a family Bible was missing [every good Swedish family has a family Bible].

All three men were in the same home-guard unit. All of their weapons and uniforms were missing. There was no history of mental illness. No history of child/sexual abuse. No history of drug/excess alcohol use. Money was found in bank accounts. The family was not in serious debt. NATO HQ North in Brussels was contacted when several odd depressions and burn marks were noted in a field in the back of the house. LT.GEN 'L' [my step-dad] and a team were dispatched to investigate.

They were shown several depressions in the ground located midway between the house and the back edge of the property. These depressions formed a circle 48 meters across. It consisted of 8 'holes', 4 small, 4 large, forming the circle. The large ones were 1 meter across, the small ones .75 meters across. The holes were evenly spaced and alternated, big, small, big, and etc. The inside of the holes were burned to ash, and were irradiated. In the center of the circle was an area of smashed vegetation twisted in a clockwise manner [like a crop circle]. It was not irradiated, but emitted large amounts of EME [electro-magnetic energy].

The family has yet to be found. My step-dads last notation was in August 2002, so he was following up on the case. His last notation was: "I must assume from the evidence and the lack of bodies or body parts,that the family in question has departed this planet on a voluntary basis for places or parts unknown."

This is where I come in. In 1989, and again 1999, I visited the site. On both trips I noted that grass still would not grow in the hole, even though the hole were filled in. Bugs would not enter the circle, which was OK for the new owner, who said "once you get past the tingly sensation on the back of your neck, it's a great place to sit and read!" If you went into the circle, you got the sensation that you get from sticking a wet hand in a light socket! And this was 7 and 17 years after the fact! My conclusion? Same as my step-dads. They were taken to start a new colony

I did some searching so methinks this might be a urban legend on UFO friendly sites.

Maybe so. I read it on another forum posted with this link. Ooops wrong link there at first. Sorry. Not sure how I did that. I had both. This is the one I meant to grab. http://exopolitics.blogspot.com/2011/01/mj-12-af-generals-stepson-talks-et-by.html

I hesitated to post it even now but its there. Why this story still comes up is somewhat of a mystery. I thought maybe someone from Mora possibly belonged to settle the matter. Mora the provence can't be that big can it? Mainly I think they don't know I am a knife maker on this other forum and I was posting it here kinda sorta on purpose hoping maybe by some far chance someone from the company or even the area can confirm or deny any such happenings. I happen to enjoy reading and watching the UFO stuff. I get a kick out of it and the ancient stuff too although ancient aliens is not a frequently watched show here. I like America Unearthed although the guy makes me angry and I like other stuff from Discovery and Science. Its interesting to me and a lot of that is discussed on this forum for those of you interested in it also. I have noted that a lot of the directors and producers are posting after shows air on this forum and it struck me funny how this is posted as 'evidence'. FYI I'd really like to disprove it.

I can´t find anything about it in Swedish , perhaps like you said someone more local can chime in.

I spent a little time at Livermore Nat'l Labs, but never ran into anything like that...thank goodness.
Edward Teller lectures were enough for me.

As 1234 says, this is more an urban legend!

Actually they were taken by regular Norweigan Forest Trolls, raiding Sweden.
They are gone since long now, so there's no longer any cause of alarm.

Although it makes a nice beginning for a
Sci-fi novel it is what I call skitsnack. Googletranslates
to bull shit :)
There is one hard piece of evidence embedded in the story
to disprove it. That every good swedish family have a bible. Pfaw!

Although that little clue could be placed in there just to
make us believe its false, and not search any more :)
Personally, I'd have gone with a family working for fallkniven or
Gränsfors bruk :)
 
I think it was the part were NATO got involved that got me thinking this might not be a true story !
