I've read in several books & articles that shortly after the end of WWII there were numerous sightings of fast rockets in N. Europe, specifically over Sweden/Scandinavia. All this was before the CMs were built & tested in large numbers. There were denials, speculations and misleading statements from NATO countries and Sweden. So, what were they- UFOs?
Swedish "ghost rocket" sightings started in 1946. Thousands of witnesses observed rocket-like objects streaking through the air. The objects followed flat trajectories, and no artifacts or crashed "rockets" were ever found. The United States sent General Doolittle to Sweden to help investigate the sightings, because the Americans felt that the objects might be Russian secret weapons sent from Finland or from the captured German rocket proving ground at Peenemünde. Eventually, the Swedish government decided that, since there were no crashed rockets, the sightings must be considered misidentifications of natural phenomena or the results of mass hallucination.
