Before there were UFOs there were… Ghost Rockets
“Keep the Americans out!” - excerpt from the text of decrypted secret memo concerning the ‘ghost rocket’ phenomena of the late 1940s.
Before there were flying saucers, ufos or unidentified aerial phenomena, there were ‘ghost rockets’, numbers of which apparently entered Swedish airspace in the years following WWII, and were widely witnessed and photographed:
The lake photo used for my SoundCloud meanwhile shows Swedish Air Force scientific officer Karl-Gösta Bartoll searching for one such “ghost rocket" seen crashing July 19, 1946, in Lake Kölmjärv, Sweden.
For a fascinating timeline of this early foreshadowing of current ‘surveillance balloon’ adventures, check out http://www.project1947.com/gr/grchron3.htm#caven
The phenomena remains unexplained to this day. At the time, strong suspicions were that the Russians were making use of their recent seizure of the famous Nazi rocket base and personnel of Peenemünde, but in a 1967 lecture to the Greek Astronomical Society on the subject, a prominent official involved in the original investigations had this to say:
"We soon established that they were not missiles. But, before we could do any more, the Army, after conferring with foreign officials (presumably U.S. Defense Dept.), ordered the investigation stopped. Foreign scientists [from Washington] flew to Greece for secret talks with me". Secrecy was invoked because “officials were afraid to admit of a superior technology against which we have no possibility of defense.”
A clearing of the decks, or rather, the iPad: something I finished a while ago, discovered in my storage spring clean, hence can’t recall how I made it beyond the fact that it was a single-synth-only trial run for Dexed which I had just bought, but need to get it out to make room on my poor clogged little iPad for new stuff. Either that, or buy a new iPad;)

niiice! Semi related, I'm going here for the summer solstice!

Big sounds! Interesting subject matter!
@sevenape : that sounds like a fascinating place to visit! The timing of its original alleged events puts it squarely in the same frame as the ghost rocket phenomena. Obviously the weird was running high in Sweden back then. Very reminiscent of our very own local equivalent here in the UK:

Be sure to report your solstice findings…
@AlterEgo_UK : thank you!
Hey @Svetlovska - did you do the live performance you were after tips for yet?
edit: I don't have any tips, just wondering if it went well
agrees with the SoundCloud commenter @2:17; beautiful atmosphere
Excellent post, and the secret matter remains.
This creation is quite cinematic.
I always enjoy your music, and the stories behind them!!!
Stay well, and keep healthy!
With love and respect,
Rene
Nice, quite an eerie storm you cooked up there. Never would have guessed it's just one synth.
Fantastic! And great back story as always 🙌🏻
Yes, atmospheric as usual… I’m interested, does the subject comes first and then the music or vice versa?
