AI-Generated Summary
A 1946 newspaper report theorizes that 'ghost bombs' are manned, rocket-propelled aircraft launched from Peenemünde. It suggests the phenomena may be a Russian propaganda effort to demonstrate technological capability.
This newspaper article from September 4, 1946, titled 'Mänsklig pilot i "spökbomben"?' (Human pilot in the 'ghost bomb'?), discusses the growing international interest in the 'ghost bomb' phenomena reported over Sweden, Finland, Denmark, France, Switzerland, and the Adriatic Sea. The article features an analysis by Daily Express Stockholm correspondent Chapman Pincher, who suggests that these objects are not merely unmanned projectiles but are instead a hybrid of V1-bomb technology and rocket-propelled aircraft, operated by a human pilot. The text includes a technical description of the proposed construction, noting that the pilot would lie prone in the nose of the craft. The article claims these machines are launched from the Russian-occupied Peenemünde facility and possess a range of up to 1,600 kilometers. It also provides a secondary theory, suggesting that the entire phenomenon might be a calculated effort by Russia to project technical superiority through propaganda. The document includes a diagram illustrating the propulsion unit and the pilot's position.
Men man kan tänka sig, att det här är fråga om en ren rysk propaganda för att inge världen respekt för Rysslands tekniska förmåga.
