This document is from the archives of the Project Sign Research Center. It is an ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) discussing the "Ghost Rockets" being reported over the Scandinavian countries in 1947.
This document shows that the Office of Naval Intelligence, the secret service of the US Navy, was interested enough by the flap of rocket-like UFOs over Scandinavia between 1945 and 1946 to keep secret records about every case and to thoroughly tried investigate them.
It also shows that the US Navy did not know the origin of the "ghost rockets", which either indicates that they were probably not of US, Soviet or German origin, or that the Navy was not very well informed.
