Today In UFO History - Swedish Ghost Rockets
November 4, 1948
1/A USAF Europe document transmits some information on the Swedish ghost rockets. “They have been reported by so many sources and from such a variety of places that we are

2/convinced that they cannot be disregarded and must be explained on some basis which is perhaps slightly beyond the scope of our present intelligence thinking.” One of the objects was observed crashing into a lake by Swedish Gen. Helge Jung and his party. A salvage operation was

3/ unsuccessful. USAF officers visit Swedish Air Intelligence officials who have reached the conclusion that “these phenomena are obviously the result of a high technical skill which cannot be credited to any presently known culture on earth.” The document is distributed to the

4/CIA (which in response to a FOIA request claims no record), Armament Intelligence Branch, and AMC. [Eberhart]
