1946-07-20 Mystical "ghost rocket" exploded over Umeå on friday night. (Newspaper Article)

Mystical &quot;ghost rocket&quot; exploded over Ume&aring; on friday night.

Simultaneous observations at Teg and Umedalen.

During the friday night a ghost rocket exploded over Ume&aring; city, according to reports sent in to V.K. by several trustworthy people. The flying fireball was observed around 20:00, flying in a direction upstreams.

A treasurer of a company in Ume&aring;, who however wishes to remain anonymous, was 19:58 on the road to Obbola in Teg, when he saw a metal object fly across the skies at a very high speed, probably at a height of 500 or 600 meters. He could clearly see that it was an object of one to one and a half meters in length, shining as of it was made of steel or silver. The body glowed in the evening sun so that it was very visible during about five seconds. The front part appeared to be glowing, while the rear part seemed to be cooled down. As it had reached right above the river in height with the city it exploded. It flamed and broke into a sea of fire, flowing strong despite the sun still glowing at the horizon. The explosion lasted for only a few seconds, after which all had disappeared.

The treasurer could not observe any wings on the object. Had such existed they must have been small.

A similar observation was made by Mr. Birger Morland from L&aring;nged in Nordmalin, as he around 20 was drinking coffee at Lagervall&#39;s outdoor seating at Umedalen&#39;s hospital at Backen in the company of a lady. He heard a sputtering sound from the air and when he looked up he witnessed a &quot;comet&quot; rushing across the skies in direction south-north. the object emitted a strong light and burned with a blue white glow.

- Look, said Mr. Morland to his lady. She also heard the sputtering sound, but couldn&#39;t observe the object, as it had in the same moment exploded with extra sputtering.

It&#39;s hard to say how high in the air the object was flying, but Mr. Morland estimated it to 100 meter. The object left a small &quot;tail&quot; in the air, which went away as it exploded and disappeared into nothingness.

- You may publish my name, I stand for the information, said Mr. Morland, confident that neither he nor the lady been victim of any sort of suggestion.

When we informed him of the cashier&#39;s simultaneous observation on Teg, he said:

- Look, it coincides perfectly with what I saw.

&quot;Hauntings&quot; in Furu&ouml;grund as well

Skellefte&aring; 19. (TT.)

The &quot;ghost projectile&quot; was observed by two people around 20:00 on Friday over Furu&ouml;grund in Byske. It had a heading to the west and the height was estimated to 600 meters. The phenomenon was followed by a blue white glow, but no sound was heard and neither was there any smoke observed.

Impact in Norrbotten.

Kalix 19. (TT.) A &quot;ghost projectile&quot; was visible during Friday noon in upper Norrland, where one person saw how it struck down in a waterstream. No explosion was heard at impact and there is hope to salvage it relatively undamaged. The county police in Nederkalix were during the afternoon out to find it with help of military personnel.

In V&auml;nn&auml;sby

one also saw a space projectile around 20:00. Similar observations were made in Levar in Nordmalin. A few observers perceived it as a red orb and some seem to have seen in followed by a lightning phenomenon. One observer is said to have seen rain of sparks trailing the projectile&#39;s path.

Two rocket bombs fell down in Norway.

Oslo 19. (United Press.) Aftenposten tells us tonight that they have received a report from a man in Feiring, in the vicinity of Mj&ouml;sa, that two rocket bombs fell down in Mj&ouml;sa on the night between Thursday and Friday. They resembled ordinary airplanes, but were quite small with a wingspan of just 2.5 meters.&nbsp; They were not lit up, but were observed by several people as they approached Feiring between 24.00 and 0.30. They came at a rushing speed and flew so low that the tree swayed as they passed.

They struck down in the water near the middle of Mj&ouml;sa with a fierce splash. It is fairly deep where the rocket bombs fell, why it is questionable whether one would be able to find them.

When approached by the newspaper, the constable in Feiring says that several reliable sources have confirmed the report, and that he has informed the high command of the military so investigations can begin to take place.
