In a couple of weeks UFO-Sweden will lead an ambitious expedition to try and find the object. Coming along will be a professional diving team, the original witnesses Liz and Bo Berg, a support team, a chef and a documentary team. The case, previously classified by the Swedish military as Top Secret, will take them to a lake located deep in the forests of northern Sweden. To ensure that no stone is left unturned, they are bringing nearly a ton of specialist equipment including inflatable boats, underwater cameras, a side sonar scanner and metal detectors. They aim to scan the lake bed and use the diving team to inspect any unusual looking sonar scans. The expedition will start to build a base camp at the shore of the remote lake on Thursday 30 August and the divers will begin their work on 31 August and continue the search for two more days. On Monday 3 September the expedition will leave the lake. Following the search is an independent Swedish documentary team which for the last two years has been filming UFO-Sweden’s investigation and with the development support of Swedish Television (SVT) will make a documentary covering the investigation.

Ghost Rockets documentary teaser: Witness background Shortly before 12 O’clock on July 31st 1980, Bo and Liz Berg were resting at the south end of a lake in Muddus national park in the very north of Sweden. A strange noise, resembling a wind coming from a jet air craft, got their attention and looking for the source, they immediately saw what soon should be flying straight above their heads,an elongated, cigar shaped object with two protrusions on its sides. Shortly thereafter the object descended and turned towards the couple ut landed on the water at the far end of the lake. ”We took the binoculars and looked at the object that was sitting on the water but soon it started to sink with bubbles coming from it”, says Bo Berg. The couple estimates the length of the object to between 3 and 4 meters. It had no color but was steel grey. It looked like a rocket. ”When it landed on the water, after making a 180 degree turn, it had lost nearly all its pace. Then it sunk”, says Liz Berg. The observation has puzzled both the Swedish military and UFO-Sweden’s researchers for years. But in a couple of weeks it could finally have its explanation. In late August, early September UFO-Sweden will set out on an elaborate diving expedition in an attempt to find a piece of one of the greatest UFO-puzzles ever – the Ghost Rockets (Spökraketerna).

devoid.blogs.heraldtribune.com/15527/on-looking-inward/ On looking inwardPosted on April 28, 2016 by Billy Cox There’s a foreign-language documentary making the rounds that’s destined to flop in the U.S. for obvious reasons: no blaring hype, no epic proportions, and an unhurried narrative pace that’s more meditation than dramatic tension. As Americans, of course, we prefer messages gift-wrapped in tidy payoffs, or arterial spray, or at least decent fireworks. So nah, not much hope on this side of the pond for “Ghost Rockets,” a 72-minute subtitled offering from Sweden. But it spoke volumes to De Void, and maybe it’ll speak to anyone else who’s ever wondered why in the hell they squandered so much time on a journey with no prospects for rewards. Like nothing before it, “Ghost Rockets” holds a mirror up to that lonely, largely futile but perhaps reaffirming endeavor. Nothing explodes, catches fire or goes very fast in the Swedish documentary “Ghost Rockets,” which means most Americans will ignore it. Hardcores know the term from the UFO wave that swept the Scandinavian peninsula in 1946, a year before “flying saucers” entered the language. Initially thought to have been Soviet weapons systems designed by captured Nazi scientists, ghost rockets drew the attention of military leaders in the U.S. and the UK, and filled Swedish government files with nearly 1,000 eyewitness reports. The ghost-rocket outbreak was as quirky and illogical as any other; for nearly a year, the objects seemed to gravitate to water, They were frequently reported to have splashed down in ponds and lakes. But no one ever recovered a scrap of debris that could be used as evidence. However, this crowd-sourced documentary, some four years in production, doesn’t spend much time rehashing that postwar phenomenon. Instead, it follows newspaper reporter Clas Svahn as he pursues a 30-year-old UFO sighting lead at one Lake Nammajaure in the far north. The still-living witnesses had been hiking when they saw something reminiscent of a ghost rocket. They described a massive, airborne metallic pipe-looking thing that hovered over the remote lake before submerging in a gurgling discharge of bubbles. The couple never saw it re-emerge. As director of the UFO-Sweden research group, Svahn contributed to the indispensable 2012 retrospective UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry and is an old hand at the tedium of mounting a cold-case investigation. He makes a pitch to his conscientious colleagues. No one has ever dived Nammajaure before to see what’s on the bottom. Let’s check it out. UFO-Sweden’s members are an aging bunch; new blood is rare. Their budget is shot. They can’t find a halfway decent map anywhere in town. They need to buy an inflatable boat, among other things. They need instrumentation. Svahn and a collaborator go shopping amid a drizzle beneath a broken umbrella. A road trip means doubling up in hotel rooms. Svahn’s mostly all-male cast is acutely aware of time’s swift passage. Their life-long passions have put them at a distance from so many peers. They don’t understand how so many of those peers can remain so indifferent. They pay tribute to three members who’ve died over the past year, by beginning a meeting with a moment of silence. They contemplate their own mortality with things unsaid, and a realization that they are no closer to their goal than when they started decades ago. “Being alone,” says Svahn as his team prepares to explore the bottom of the murky lake, “is the worst thing that can happen to a person. To stand alone. And for humanity to stand alone can be equally terrifying. There is something greater. Something undefinable. It has to be there. We have a need for it.” “Ghost Rockets” is a quiet film, and deliberately so. In an email to De Void, co-director Kerstin Ubelacker says the intent was to veer away from “speculation and sensationalistic UFO ‘documentaries’ trying to prove that aliens walk among us … We set out to go deeper and understand what goes on in the mind of a UFO investigator. Why do they keep looking for something that they never find …?” While Ubelacker says it was important for her and co-director Michael Cavanaugh to frame UFO-Sweden with a non-judgmental lens, the larger objective was to reconnect audiences with childhood’s lost awe over life’s vast unfolding riddles, the world that existed before the inevitable disappointments and the numbing repetition. “Ultimately,” explains the Swedish filmmaker, “our goal was to share … people’s passion for the unknown and love of mystery with the international community.” Well done, Sweden, thanks for the reminder that it’s always been about us. Not them. Or it. devoid.blogs.heraldtribune.com/15527/on-looking-inward/
