12 August 1946
(The Victoria Advocate, Texas)
Quote from the article:
“Swedish military authorities plan to publish within
the next few days a communique on an investigation they have been making of the
‘ghost rockets’ that have been streaking daily over Sweden since early July.
Between July 9-12 authorities received 300 reports of the missiles and since then
reports have poured in daily. Fragments examined by scientists gave little in
the way of clues.
In general the rocket is described as a small object
with a flaming tail, which speeds at great height, making little sound. The
longest flight of any of the missiles, so far as military experts could
determine, was about 600
miles .
Swedish newspapers have been cautioned not to publish
the names of places where the rockets appear.”
