Ghost Rockets

According to UFO-Sweden, in next two weeks they will head out on an expedition to investigate "Ghost Rockets" a UFO-phenomena that has been seen throughout Sweden for decades. The expedition will head by Clas Svahn chairman of UFO-Sweden, will consist of the original witnesses, members of UFO-Sweden and a professional team. The aim of the expedition is to scan the lake bed using a side-scan sonar attached to an inflatable boat for any sign of foreign objects. The Expedition is scheduled to take place in a lake deep in the forests of northern Sweden. Coming along on the trip will be a diving team, and over one ton of equipment including boats, cameras, a side scanning sonar and metal detectors.A documentary team will also be following the investigation. Kerstin who is a director of upcoming documentary "Ghost Rockets"(supported by SVT - Swedish Television) said "we truly believe this is an extraordinary investigation into a unique phenomena that a lot of people would be interested in." The film follows the investigation of Ghost Rockets - a phenomena which has been occuring in Sweden for decades where objects have been reported to crash into lakes throughout the country said Kerstin.

Swedish military opinion on "Ghost Rockets"

Although the official opinion of the Swedish and U.S. military remains unclear, a Top Secret USAFE (United States Air Force Europe) document from 4 November 1948 (at right), indicates that at least some investigators believed the ghost rockets and later "flying saucers" had extraterrestrial origins.

Down below document get declassified only in 1997:


The document states: "For some time we have been concerned by the recurring reports on flying saucers. They periodically continue to pop up; during the last week, one was observed hovering over Neubiberg Air Base for about thirty minutes. They have been reported by so many sources and from such a variety of places that we are 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. "When officers of this Directorate recently visited the Swedish Air Intelligence Service, this question was put to the Swedes. Their answer was that some reliable and fully technically qualified people 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'. They are therefore assuming that these objects originate from some previously unknown or unidentified technology, possibly outside the earth". The document also mentioned a flying saucer crash search in a Swedish lake conducted by a Swedish naval salvage team, with the discovery of a previously unknown crater on the lake floor believed caused by the object (possibly referencing the Lake Kölmjärv search for a ghost rocket discussed above, though the date is unclear). The document ends with the statement that "we are inclined not to discredit entirely this somewhat spectacular theory [extraterrestrial origins], meantime keeping an open mind on the subject"
