TL;DR

A 1946 Swedish military briefing summarizing ongoing investigations into rocket projectiles, including underwater search efforts, equipment testing, and recent sighting reports.

This memorandum, dated August 15, 1946, provides a status update on the investigation of rocket projectiles in Sweden. The document outlines five key points. First, it notes that the Swedish news agency TT released information regarding findings at Antuna and Sala without authorization, which necessitated a quick investigation and subsequent denial in the news. Second, it reports that the II. Military District (II. milo) has localized a potential underwater site in an area of approximately 400x200 meters, characterized by firm sand and a water depth of 1.5 meters; further searches are planned before involving the Air Force Administration. Third, the National Defence Research Institute (FOA 2) reports that British mine detectors are ready, noting that the Mark III model is the most sensitive, while the Mark IV is less so. There is interest in acquiring the Mark VI model, and a report regarding the III and IV models is promised to the Defense Staff (Fst/L). Fourth, the document details two new sightings: one in Örebro on August 11 at 16:25, and another in Södertälje on August 14 at 10:15. The Södertälje object was described as a spindle-shaped, wing-equipped object at an altitude of 200 meters, emitting a sound resembling an airplane but with a more hissing quality. The author notes that the Södertälje report is considered less reliable because it is typewritten and lacks a signature. Finally, the document mentions an enclosure from 'Fosterlandsvän'.
