This August 1949 technical report from the US Air Force Air Materiel Command presents Project Grudge's investigation of unidentified flying objects through January 1949. Drawing on consultants including Dr. J. A. Hynek, Rand Corporation, the Air Weather Service and Dr. P. M. Fitts, it explains most of 244 incidents as balloons, aircraft, astronomical phenomena, hoaxes or psychological errors. It concludes the objects pose no direct threat to national security and recommends reducing the investigation in scope.
## UNCLASSIFIED Enaldeah 2135 — Jarway, Lannark, Sweden — 23-20 February 1948 Information given here is too limited for any conclusions to be drawn. The stated heights, the occurrence at the same time each night, and their specific direction make explanation of the objects as meteors unlikely. The green tails are also not star-meritious of typical meteors, but would fit into a description of rockets or flares.
