1946-08-27: TT-Reuter message quoting Daily Express' interview with Ahlgren

London 27/8 /TT Reuter/

Reports of projectiles passing over Sweden are still flowing into the Swedish army&rsquo;s air defense department, says a representative for Daily Express in Stockholm. The most mysterious one, the one the Swedes call the &ldquo;ghost bomb&rdquo; &ndash; a slow silent projectile travelling in a straight line. In an interview yesterday, the writer continues, Major Nils Ahlgren, chief of the defense staff&rsquo;s air defense department, revealed the following about the projectiles:

1. Those flying north across Sweden are being tracked by radar by the Swedish airforce. 
2. They appear to be of two types &ndash; a winged projectile travelling horizontally at a speed of approximately 800 km/h with a clear light emitted from the rear part, and a projectile falling vertically from a much greater height, moving faster and also having wings. 
3. No projectiles have exploded at or near ground, no damage to life or property has occurred, the projectiles could have exploded in the air but no fragments have been found to support that conclusion.

Not even with radar, says the writer, can the Swedes exactly pinpoint the launch site but they believe the projectiles are coming from a Russian experimental station at Peenemunde at the Baltic Sea coast in Germany. He further quotes Ahlgren that the official line is that the rockets almost always fall down where intended, in the northern Baltic Sea. He also claims that the projectiles are equipped with radio transmitters broadcasting signals regarding flight time, range and accuracy.
