New Rockets Part 'Fiend,' Say Swedes

This article, published in the Washington Post on September 27, 1946, reports on the appearance of mysterious rockets over Sweden. According to an unnamed Swedish air force officer, these objects have been observed since June 1946 and are described as being technologically superior to German V-1 and V-2 rockets, as well as similar American projectiles. The rockets are reported to come in various shapes, with some resembling an enlarged V-1 buzz bomb, and are noted for their 'startling versatility' and 'partly human, partly fiendish intelligence.' A significant point of concern for Swedish authorities is the lack of physical evidence following these sightings. Despite dozens of reports of these objects streaking across the sky, there have been no craters, no debris, and no bomb pits found at the locations where they were last seen. The officer suggests that the only explanation for this 'spooky evanescence' is that the rockets possess the capability to consume themselves completely at a controlled moment.
