A January 1947 War Department intelligence review assesses the 1946 Scandinavian “ghost rocket” reports. It contrasts highly variable witness accounts with official investigations, notes the absence of recovered direct evidence, and concludes that only a small number may have involved low-flying V-1-type missiles while many high-altitude reports were likely meteors or fireworks.
