Ghost Rockets — Swedish Defence Staff Investigation
◎Sweden and Scandinavia
Between May and December 1946, over 2,000 reports of unidentified rocket-shaped objects flooded Scandinavian military channels. The Swedish Defence Staff formally investigated, deployed radar and camera units, and coordinated with the US, UK, and Soviet Union. Official investigations recovered metallic fragments from lake crash sites. The Swedish military concluded the objects were real but of unknown origin — not Soviet rockets.
