The Greek Ghost Rockets of 1946

The Greek Ghost Rockets of 1946

     The wave of the so-called “ghost rockets” of Scandinavia during the summer and early autumn of 1946 is well-known. Less-known is its Greek “offshoot”. In fact the ghost rockets were crossing the skies of other countries outside Scandinavia –especially in the Mediterranean area. Needless to say the general impression and the standard interpretation of the time was that they were secret weapons, most probably of Soviet origin.

Loren Gross
To my knowledge, the most comprehensive report on the Greek ghost rockets was and still is a few paragraphs that noted UFO historian Loren Gross (right) devotes in his 1974 booklet The Mystery of the Ghost Rockets (p. 25). This and dozens other booklets constitue a dedicated and praiseworthy attempt to construct a chronological history of early UFOogy. Gross' sources were most probably exclusively news reports of the time, particularly New York Times, Manchester Guardian and Chicago Tribune which used reports of Associated Press and other agencies. Gross also cites a table of the sightings on pages 50 & 51. There are also a few lines cited by Timothy Good in his Top Secret, which circulate over and over in the Internet. My own research was based on the existing contemporary Greek newspapers. A presentation of the whole story through the Greek media of the time follows.

On September 5, 1946, Greek prime minister Constantine Tsaldaris, while in London, stated during a press conference that “flying rockets” were sighted in the skies of Northern Greece. [...]

     A Scottish tourist unwittingly captured an unidentifiable sea monster while vacationing in Greece.

Harvey Robertson was on a boat cruise off the coast of Parga, sailing through sea caves with his family. He was initially just trying to capture the unusual color of the surrounding water with his iPhone camera.

What he shot instead has baffled those across the Internet—and marine scientists. Looking back through his camera, Robertson saw that he had captured a grey creature that resembles an elongated manatee. The strange animal appears to pop out of the water in one photo, then disappears under the greenish water in the next. [...]

UFOs Filmed Over Athens, Greece | VIDEO

UFOs Over Athens, Greece 12-21-14

    Unidentified Flying Objects over Glyfada, at 18:30 in the afternoon of 21 December 2014. I'm not saying it's aliens, etc. As the saying phrase UFO itself: I simply can not identify the specific flying objects. If someone knows something, tell us.

Precludes the case "lanterns flame" that lenient someone from my apartment building, and the speed and height and their brilliance is inconsistent with that.

The video captures about 10 of them, but was preceded by about as many or maybe more. The "effect" lasted about 10 to 15 minute short breaks in between and "groups" of bright ball balls numbered 3-6
Prefer image quality 1080 and full screen.

     A photographer captured strange looking objects in some of his beautiful pictures of clouds rolling in over the ocean at night. He can’t figure out what the mysterious objects are and says he has never seen anything like it.

Jim Montanus is a photographer who lives in the town of Greece, New York, a few miles northwest of Rochester. On Wednesday night he was on the docks of the Braddock Bay Marina when he decided to take pictures of the clouds rolling in as they slowly covered the piercing bright twinkling stars against the clear dark night sky.

Montanus told the Democrat & Chronicle newspaper, “It was a very dramatic situation with that front coming in. I was all excited about the photo.”

Upon reviewing the images in the viewfinder he spotted two orange cone shaped objects he had not seen with is naked eye.

He says, “I was looking at these shapes on the back of my cameras and saying what IS it? I don’t believe in UFOs, but, you know, it’s just one of those things. It was just cool.” . . .
