Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Since I thought of a seagull, the object must have been shaped like a bird or a plane, but with, as I can recall it, more birdlike wings. They were not straight, and extended as if gliding.

Size of Object(s)

The relative size -- that's all I can say -- was that of a large bird at a very far distance -- 250- 300 meters.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Same as above.

Description of Area / Surroundings

A country house area, with forrest behind me and a narrow (400 meter) wide stretch of water ahead of me.

Full Description & Details

I was outside my house on the island of Lidingö, just east of central Stockholm. As I looked up in the sky, almost in my zenith, I saw what looked like a bird, my perception was a seagull, very high above me. So high that I thought to mayself if I ever had seen a seagull so high up before -- my impression then was 250 - 300 meters.

It glides very slowly, majestically, to the north in a straight line, when it suddenly changes direction, on the spot, to the right/east and accellerates from a peaceful glide to an absolutly incredible speed in no time, and is gone from view in about a second.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Nothing I know of can change direction like that and accellerate like that or reach speeds like that...
