UFO News Article:
“Mysterious ‘Ghost Rockets’
Puzzling to Swedish Army”
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.”

UFO Article:
“The Greek Ghost Rockets of 1946”
By Thanassis Vembos
(Vembos.gr, Greece)
Quote from the article:
“On September 5, 1946, Greek prime minister Constantine
Tsaldaris, while in London, stated during a press conference that ‘flying
rockets’ were sighted in the skies of Northern Greece. In particular, twelve
rockets were spotted during the night of September 1 by Greek divisional
commanders and British officers; they flew from north to south and to other
directions too; their nature and origin remained unknown. One of them was seen
by British officers in Thessaloniki; the rest were seen in various areas, from
Stavroupoli to Kastoria, over Serres and Drama (cities in western central and
eastern Macedonia). Note that all the above regions border with Albania,
Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, countries that actively supported the bloody Communist
Rebellion (1946-49); tensions with northern neighbors were extremely high at
the time and the presence of British military was strong. ‘We do not know where
the rockets were from,’ stated Tsaldaris diplomatically, ‘or from which
direction they came.’ Tsaldaris statement hit the headlines in most of Greek
newspapers the next day, September 6. ”

UFO Paper:
“The Swedish ‘Ghost Rocket’ Crisis of 1946”
By Robert E. Bartholomew, Anders Liljegren and Clas
Svahn
Source: Archives For the Unexplained (AFU),
Norrköping, Sweden
Quote from the document:
“Between early May and September 30th, 1946, a widespread panic
occurred across Sweden as tens of thousands of citizens reported observations
of phantom missiles. This led to the widespread folk theory that
remote-controlled German V-rockets confiscated by the Soviets at the close of
World War II, were being test-fired as a form of political intimidation, or a
prelude to an invasion. Despite the widely publicized views of Swedish and
foreign politicians, military officials, newspaper editors and scientists
supporting the rocket’s reality, and voluminous press reports often treating
their existence as factual, no concrete physical evidence was ever found. By
the episode’s end, Swedish military investigators concluded that most
observations were of meteors and related celestial phenomena, and of those
unexplained, none were V-rockets.
Active American assistance supplied to Sweden during
the ghost bomb crisis, reflected their concern over the Soviet’s long-range
missile deployment capacity given the widespread conviction that they would
soon develop atomic weaponry. American aerial warfare expert General James
Doolittle flew to Sweden, discussing the sightings with Swedish Air Force
commanders on August 21st, the same day it was reported that Swedish officials
had approached Great Britain about buying radar equipment to track the ‘rockets,’
as British radar experts reportedly visited Sweden to provide first-hand
evaluations of radar investigations. Curiously, a British intelligence report (‘Investigation
of missile activity in Scandinavia,’ dated September 9) bears no evidence of
such a visit. Most of the data in this report is from Norway, and nothing is
said about radar sightings or analysis thereof. The radar cases that have been
documented in the Defense Staff Archives, are not impressive and could be
judged as such by competent Swedish Air Force personnel. Meanwhile phantom
rockets were occasionally sighted during the episode in other Scandinavian
countries, and to a lesser extent in Europe, but none matched the Swedish
reports in terms of volume and social reaction.
On October 10th, the Defense Staff announced the
results of its four-month investigation. It concluded that 80 percent of
approximately 1,000 reports were attributable to ‘celestial phenomena,’ and of
the remainder that were unexplainable, there was no conclusive evidence that
any were V-type rockets or other objects of foreign-government origin.”

UFO Case Directory (TRACECAT):
“ ‘Ghost Rocket’ Crashes Into Lake
July 18, 1946
Southeastern Norway”
(NICAP.org)
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.”
