The whole
article:
“A Swedish
pilot yesterday told of seeing a mysterious object flash by at tremendous speed
and Stockholm
newspapers immediately labelled it a ‘Russian robot.’
‘Russian
robot from base at Libau,’ said a six-column headline in Aftonbladet, the
city’s largest newspaper.
The story
speculated that the object was ‘a Russian robot launched from the Baltic coast
and sweeping at supersonic speed on an elliptic course over Northern Scania (a
Swedish province) and Denmark
and finally piloted home to its base by remote control.’
Pilot ULF
Christiansson, a Swedish citizen but a British RAF flyer during World War II,
said he never had seen anything like it.
‘This
object,’ he told newsmen, ‘was completely
symmetric and I would say it had a spherical appearance, in a way
robot-like. It was metallic white and left no vapor trail as it swept by just
above the clouds.’
The Swedish
Air Force said it was investigating the mystery.”
