TL;DR

A 1946 Swedish newspaper report details the military's tracking of unidentified 'ghost bombs' over Sweden. The military official cited clarifies that the origin and nature of these objects remain unknown, contradicting speculative claims made by foreign press.

This newspaper article from the August 28, 1946, edition of Nya Wermlands-Tidningen reports on the ongoing mystery of unidentified projectiles passing over Sweden. According to a correspondent for the Daily Express, the Swedish Defense Staff's Air Defense Department has been tracking these objects, which the public refers to as 'ghost bombs.' Major Nils Ahlgren, Chief of the Air Defense Department, is cited as describing two distinct types of projectiles: one that flies horizontally at approximately 800 km/h with a clear light emanating from a rear nozzle, and another that falls vertically from a much greater altitude. Both types are described as silent and winged. The article notes that while Swedish air defense radar tracks these objects, they have not been able to determine their origin, though speculation exists regarding a potential Russian test station at Peenemünde. The report mentions that the projectiles are believed to carry radio transmitters for signaling flight data. However, the article concludes with a significant clarification from Major Ahlgren, who states that he did not provide the specific details regarding launch sites or origins attributed to him by the Daily Express correspondent. Ahlgren emphasizes that the Swedish military has not reached any conclusions and that the nature and origin of these projectiles remain entirely unsolved.
