Undersökningar vid förmodad nedslagsplats för raketprojektil i Kölmjärn
AI-Generated Summary
A 1946 Swedish military report investigates a suspected rocket crash in Kölmjärn. Investigators were concerned about potential atomic propulsion due to the object's small size and the distance it allegedly traveled.
This document is a secret field report from the Swedish National Defence Research Institute (FOA) regarding an investigation into a suspected rocket projectile crash site in Kölmjärn. The investigation was conducted on July 20-21, 1946, following a reported impact on July 19, 1946. The primary purpose of the mission, carried out in consultation with the KFF, was to search for potential projectile debris and to assess any remaining radioactivity, as there was speculation that atomic energy might have been utilized for propulsion. The investigation was prompted by an eyewitness who claimed to have seen the object impact a lake and estimated its length to be approximately 3 meters based on a comparison with nearby house details. The report concludes that if the projectile was indeed that small, it would be difficult to explain how it could have traveled the assumed distance using conventional fuel.
Om projektilen verkligen varit så liten, förefaller det svårförklarligt, att den med drivmedel av gängse typ kunnat tillryggalägga den skjutsträcka, som i detta fall kan förmodas.

Official Assessment
The author notes that if the projectile was as small as estimated (3 meters), it is difficult to explain how it could have traveled the distance it is assumed to have covered using conventional fuel.
The investigation was conducted to search for projectile parts and check for radioactivity, as there was speculation that atomic energy might have been used for propulsion.
