Spökbomberna väcker stort engelskt intresse

This newspaper article from August 27, 1946, reports on the intense interest surrounding 'ghost bombs' (spökbomberna) observed over Sweden. According to a representative from the Daily Express in Stockholm, reports of these projectiles were flooding into the Swedish Defense Staff's Air Defense Department. Major Nils Ahlgren, the chief of this department, provided official facts regarding the objects: they are tracked by Swedish radar, appear to be of two types—one winged and horizontal, the other falling vertically from high altitude—and emit a clear light from the rear. Despite public speculation that these objects originated from a Russian test station at Peenemünde, Germany, and were falling into the northern Baltic Sea, Major Ahlgren explicitly denied these claims. He clarified that the Swedish Defense Staff has not determined the origin, flight path, or landing sites of the projectiles, and that the matter remains an unsolved problem. The article notes that no projectiles have been found to have exploded on the ground, nor have any caused damage to life or property.
