AI-Generated Summary
A 1946 Swedish military report confirms that 27 recovered objects suspected of being space projectiles were tested for radioactivity and determined not to be of extraterrestrial or rocket origin.
This document, dated September 21, 1946, is Preliminary Report No. 2 from the Swedish National Defence Research Institute (FOA). It details the investigations conducted between August 9 and September 20, 1946, regarding various objects recovered and sent to FOA 1, which were suspected to be related to observed space projectiles. A total of 27 items were submitted for analysis. Each item was immediately tested for radioactivity using a Geiger-Müller counter, as the presence of atomic energy would have been indicated by such activity; however, none of the items showed any signs of radioactivity. The investigations were carried out by Engineer R. Rynninger. The report concludes that the items do not originate from space projectiles or meteorites, and that other explanations have been provided for their existence. The author suggests that further research may be necessary regarding item number 23 to definitively establish its identity. The report also notes that a preliminary report from August 9, 1946, and a special report concerning investigations in Kölmjärv are attached.
Sammanfattningsvis kan sägas, att även beträffande de senare insända fynden framgått, att de icke härröra från någon rymdprojektil eller utgöras av någon meteorit utan ha andra förklaringar lämnats.
