AI-Generated Summary
A 1946 Swedish diplomatic telegram discusses reports of rocket bombs, noting that while official sources suggested meteors, radar data indicated non-natural objects. The document also highlights claims by publisher Robert Wood that the objects originated from Peenemünde.
This document is a transcript of a telegram sent from the Swedish legation in Washington to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, dated November 2, 1946, regarding reports of 'rocket bombs.' The telegram summarizes a communiqué from the Commander-in-Chief, which initially suggested that the observed objects were likely meteors. However, the text notes that radar instruments had confirmed the presence of objects that were neither natural phenomena, hallucinations, nor Swedish aircraft. The document further reports that the publication 'Aviation News' intended to refute the meteor theory. Its publisher, Robert Wood, had recently returned from Sweden and Denmark, where he conducted his own investigations. Wood alleged that Scandinavians attempted to persuade press associations to stop reporting on the subject and that Swedish authorities had detained a writer until he ceased discussing the unauthorized topic. According to Wood, after speaking with journalists, flight experts, and other well-informed citizens in Sweden and Denmark, he concluded that the bombs originated from Peenemünde.
