The whole UFO case report:
“Ole Jonny Braenne:
July 18, 1946; Southeastern
Norway
Between 12 and 12:30 p.m. A ‘ghost rocket’ crashed
into Lake Mjøsa. Several witnesses observed a
V1-like object coming in low from the west at about 50 meters height. The
witnesses first heard a strong whistling sound, not exactly like that
associated with known aircraft. The object flew so low as to cause the trees to
sway. It impacted in Lake
Mjøsa about two
kilometers from the western shore and seven kilometers from Minnesund, where
the depth is 300-400
meters. It was cigar-shaped, about 2.5 meters long, with
about one meter-long wings placed one meter behind the nose. The front and back
parts were shining like metal, but the middle section including the wings was
dark. The wings seemed to flap a little, as if made of fabric. No fire, exhaust,
or light was seen. When it hit the lake, the water splashed several meters into
the air. There was no explosion. The sky was clear, and the water quickly
calmed. Some witnesses thought they saw two objects, one in front of the other.
The Norwegian Defense High Command conducted an investigation according to
press reports of the period, but the documents have never been recovered. There
is a distinct possibility that all documents on the 1946 ghost-rocket wave have
been destroyed. If so, this is a disaster for UFO historians, who will be left
with only newspaper accounts as source material.”
