Is it all imagination or a mistake?

Not a glimpse of material evidence exist for the ghost bombers.

The truth of the &quot;ghost bombs&quot; over Sweden will have to wait, as the defense staff won&#39;t be making any statement on the thousands of Sunday&#39;s reports this Wednesday either. During the time, AT asked the agencies whether even a single metal piece, slag piece or other kind of remains exists to prove that an impact have really occurred on Swedish territory. The answer is no!

One may as such ask if the Swedish people&#39;s imagination have begun to play a much too prominent role in the matter of these space projectiles. At the defense staff&#39;s press meeting it is pointed out in response to this that a large number of the received reports are dismissed as they build on observations of things unrelated to space projectiles.

In certain cases it has simply been observations&nbsp; of fireworks from more or less idyllic crayfish parties. It should in this context be said that the immense influx of reports from Sunday have not been followed by a similar intensity of reports the following days. On Monday only a few reports came in, Tuesday hardly any at all.

It may also be meteors of various kinds - a prominent scientists points out today that if an object is visible in the sky from widely spread locations then it can not be the case of a rocket or &quot;ghost bomb&quot; of terrestrial origin - such terrestrial phenomena can not reach such a high altitude in space. Finally, an explanation may be that an airplane was illuminated by the sun in an unusual way. If it also travels at a high altitude it can easily produce a stream of condensation, upon which people&#39;s imaginations may play tricks upon themselves.

On the other hand, not every observation can be explained with these theories, as very credible people have left detailed reports that are unrelated to airplanes, crayfish parties or regular meteors.

Bang on the J&auml;rva fields turned out to be nothing

It&#39;s just that there hasn&#39;t been any certain conclusions in the process of compiling all reports. The only conclusion is that the bang heard around the J&auml;rva fields on Tuesday most likely was something&nbsp; completely different, and the projectile reported to have struck down last night in Drags&ouml; outside of Karlkrona is unlikely to lead to any new discoveries either. It would have been the case of a cigar shaped projectile around 1.5 meters in length, the body emitting a strong light red shine, and a several meter long stream of smoke trailing its rear.

On Wednesday information was circulating that Swedish airplanes would be given the task of hunting the space projectiles. At the defense staff&#39;s press conference this claim is dismissed on the accounts that the projectiles - if they now exist - appears to travel at several thousands of kilometers/hour, while out fastest airplanes won&#39;t reach much more than 900 km/h. There wouldn&#39;t even be a theoretical possibility for such a ghost bomb hunt.

New observations on the west coast.

GOTHENBURG Wednesday (AT). It appears that the ghost bomb armada continues over Western Sweden which appears to be the current target of the projectiles. Yesterday a lady in Olskroken in Gothenburg saw a yellow orb, not particularly large but with a tail of smoke following it. The ghost rocket continued to the east. She assures us that it most certainly wasn&#39;t the case of a shooting star.

Another report comes from Str&ouml;mstad where on Tuesday afternoon a space projectile was seen striking down into the water at the buoy wedge. The strange object came from southeast and struck down in the water about 200 meters from the coast guard that saw the rocket. A few hundred meters away there were people in another boat who also witnessed the impact.

On Sunday one of these mysterious projectiles were seen in Stala in Bohusl&auml;n. It came at high speed at a high altitude. A strong white light was shining in its front. It went in a northeastern direction.

Finns saw projectile as well

HELSINKI Wednesday (TT). Last night Helsinki was visited by a mysterious space projectile with an appearance matching the famous Swedish ghost rockets. The light phenomenon itself most closely resembled a very sharp white flash. It was visible for a fraction of a second but left a red streak, which slowly faded out. The phenomenon was observed at 23.30 over Brunnsparken in Helsinki.
